Hate, from the Anglo Saxon A0te,
describes the active feeling of dis
like, together with that agitation
Of the spirits which accompanies
every strong passion; detest, from
the Latin detestor, is more inten-
sive degree of hate; it calls on
others to bear witness to it's hatred.
Hate is deep, not loud;" detesta-
ton is communicative, and always
expressed. What we begin by
hating we may end by detesting.
Those who endeavor to injure
others are hated: those who en-
deavor to injure others are detest-
ed. Malice is hateful; hypocrisy
is detestable.

ing he heard message from the
dispatcher saying that the genera
superintendent was on his way tc
Moosejaw on number two. He
was not in his private car, but in
an ordinary sleeper, and his
daughter accompanied him. Pen.
nock's heart gave a Jump. OF
course he would not see her.
Passenger trains never stopped
at Raden. But he could see the
train she was on, at. any rate
That would help some. There had
been heavy rains for several weeks
and the tracks were the object of
much solicitous inquiry. The bal
lasting was not of sufficient
weight to Withstand a flood, and
trains had to proceed cautiously.
On the night in question, shortly
before number two was due to
pass, a light engine pulled in from
the west, with word that the track,
about mile west of Raden, was
floating. A train could not pos
sibly cross it. Pennock sent the
message to the dispatcher, at
Winnipeg, and his spirits rose
with bound. Number two would
have to stop, and he would see
Miss Wallen, perhaps. He placed
his signals and waited. Number
two pulled in and stopped. The
conductor fumed and swore and
predicted dire things, because the
super was on the train. Presently
Mr.. Wallen himself appeared.
"Well, Pennock. what's the
matter? Why are we held up
here?"
He was soon told. "Well," he
said, "wire Brandon, Pennock, to
send an engine and coach, to take
me and my daughter back there.
We will wait there while repairs
are made"
Pennock complied, and received
word that the instructions would
be obeyed. Wallen returned to
his sleeper and waited. In the
meantime the wires were busy, but
it seemed to be slow business.
After about an hours wait, the
superintendent again entered the
office.
whats the delay, Pennock?
That engine should be here now"

ed some time ago, but l haven't
heard from them since. Shall I
call up Brandon again.
eyes, and hurry up" The super
was in a bad humor. Brandon
reported that the special had start
ed, but had not been heard from
since. There was nothing to do
but wait.
Finally Brandon reported that
the super's special had returned to
Brandon, stating that there was a
complete washout between that
place and Raden. Here was a
pretty state of affairs. Here was
the general superintendent of the
railway marooned at measly little
siding, with nothing to eat, for the
diner had been left at Brandon.
They could only hope that the
water would subside, and let them
pass soon. Morning brought
more trouble. Passengers clam
ored for news and later for food.
There was plenty of the former
but none of the latter.
Now it was here that brilliant
came to Pennock. He
had quite a nice little stock of food
on hand, for his own use. Wal

George Pennock left the house
of Thomas G.. Wallen in towering
temper. Wallen was the general
superintendent of the w. P: Rail-
road. with headquarters in Winni-
peg. Pennock was an operator,
who was employed in \the dis
spatcher's Office of the same road.
He had had the fortune, good or
bad, to fall in love with the super
intendent's daughter, Grace, and
ON informing her of this fact, in
tremulous tones, had been told
that his affection was reciprocated.
His transports of Joy were only
exceeded by his subsequent gloomy
eforebodings, as to the results of an
: interview with paterfamllias, which
.forebodings, we have seen, we're
only too prophetic. Up to this
time he had always been welcome
visitor at the Wallen residence,
but now the ban was placed on
zany further intimacy:
Blamed old plutocrat," muttered
Pennock, as he walked moodily
down the street. "He used to be
an operator himself. But I don't
scare what he does; I'm going to
write to Grace at least once, and
tell her how we stand. She'll
wait for me, I know. I'll show
Mr.. Thomas G.. Wallen that I am
>as good as he is
True to his word, Pennock
wrote a full account of his inter-
view with her father to Miss
Wallen, and received in return
assurance of her undying affection
and promises to wait till doomsday,
If necessary. In some unforeseen
manner, the harsh father became
aware of the correspondence be-
<tween his daughter and the pre-.
ssrmptuous clerk, and not really,

ooh yes, I have some canned
meat and fruit, and few other
things"
"Fix me up little lunch for my
daughter like good fellow"
This in a condescending tone that
Pennock resented
"Mr. Wallen, I can make up a
lunch all right, but I will have to
ask you to bring Miss Wallen
here to eat it. If the passengers
see me supplying food, they will
not rest till they get some, too.
My stock is low and I can't feed
them ALL"
| The superintendent eyed Pen
mock suspiciously, but finally gave
a grumpy assent. He departed to
fetch his daughter. She came but
there were no tender passages.
Lynx.eyed papa was with her and
remained while she ate in silence.
When she had finished, he escort
ed her back to the train. But
Pennock had caught one glance
from her bright eyes that assured
him that all was we'll, and he knew
his turn was coming. Papa returned.
"Now Pennock," he said, slet's
have a bite to eat ourselves"
The operator braced himself.

not say I had any food for you.
simply undertook to keep hunger
from causing your daughter an
noyance."
"Do you mean to say that you
refuse to give me anything to eat?"
''No, sir, 1 do not refuse. You
can have all the food you want, on
certain conditions. Otherwise not
a bite" Pennock was warming
up to his part and was ready to
stake all on this throw.
"What are your conditions,
Pennock ?" asked the superin-
tendent.
These said the operator.
'That you withdraw your opposi-
ton to my marriage with your
daughter and, that you allow me
to see and talk with her now"
"I'll see you hanged first" was
the irate response. "Look here,
Pennock, do you know that I can
discharge you on the spot?''
Eyes, but that won't help you
any. The food is my own private
property"
you'll be sorry for this, my
boy, before I'm thru with you"
With this parting shot, Wallen re-
turned to his car. Pennock felt
rather uneasy. Perhaps he had
been too previous. However, it
was done and he would abide by
the result. He gave out some of
his stock of food to the passengers
of whom, luckily, there weren't
many. But it was hungry crowd
that went to sleep that night.
The second day of the "hold up"
dawned and with it came victory
for the bold operator. He was in

There was much more followed.

perch and gave the glad hand to

To Heny-T Listen.


The same difference exists be-
tween to hear and to listen that
may be found between to see and to
look; i. e., they are synonyms of
degree. Listening is an intensive
degree of hearing. We hear invol-
unfairly; we listen with intention.
Those who have sound ears cannot
help hearing. We may hear per-
sons talking without listening to
what they say If you listen to a
conversation, you may hear many
improving remarks.
To Lament-z0 DeblOzg.
These two words represent diff
ferent circumstances of grief: we
lament with exclamation; we deblove
with tears. Lamentations are &C
companied with sobs and cries.
In deploring, our grief is expressed
by weeping. Violent grief pro-
duces lamentations; deep grief
causes us to deplore. What is la
mentable excites a strong feeling.
We lament loudly; we deplore
deeply. The cries of a bird how
ering round the nest from which
her young have been stolen are
lamentable. A mother deplores
the death of her son.
To Oveycome-To Conquer.
By overcoming, we prove our
superiority or mastery. By con-
quering, we acquire possession.
An enemy is conquered; an antag-
onist is overcome. Those who are
taken prisoners are conquered;
those who prove unequal to the
contest are overcome. Alexander
the Great conquered the Persians,
after having overcome Darius in
three great battles. William the
First conquered the English. In
his march across the Alps, Hanni-
bal overcame every difficulty.
To Peycesve-7o Discern.
To discern expresses that act by
which the eye is enabled to sepa-
rate one object from among several,
and to consider it apart from the
rest. To be,ceivs signifies that act,
performed by the eye, by which
an object at some distance is
brought to make an impression on
the mind. Perceiving has refer
ence to Objects of the same sort;
discerning, to one among many OF
a different sort from itself. l per-
ceive trees or houses at distance:
I discern steeple among houses,
or a river in landscape. The
same distinction holds good in the
abstract sense of the two words.
We perceive the truth of prcpo-
sition which, perhaps, did not at
first strike us obviously. A saga
cious mind can discern truth tho
it be mixed up with falsehood or
hypocrisy.
