HELPING THE NEEDY,

Within the past four months in
this city 125 men, women and chill
dren have been converted from their
ways Of wickedness to lives of sane
Christianity through the work of the
Salvation Army under Captain j..
Holder.
People say Salvation Army con-
verts don't stick" No matter IL all
do not stick, they are better for that
moment of conversion. They are bet
ter for having experienced the thrill
of the human touch which told them
that they were members of the family
Of humanity.
No matter If they slipped back to
their old ways next day, they can
never be as bad as before, for they
have tasted of the spiritual, felt the
touch of a kindly hand and hold sa-
credly in their memories the imprint
of the wide fraternity of the world.
The Salvation Army gets dowr
among the needy. Its religion is as
much a religion Of secret deeds OF
charity as of creeds. The organiza-
tion is scoffed at, abused, condemned
by the thoughtless world, but its rec
ords and secret annals will show
more genuine charity, more succol
for those in actual need, more touches
OF sympathy than perhaps any othel
like organization in the world.
It often has no place whereon T.

He bent forward and found her
hand. Something In his voice and
touch and eyes, seen dimly, set Theo
bewildered. She looked at him all
amazed.
"I wish I could" she said, miser-
ably.
"You wish you could. Can't you,
darling? Remember I love you as
perhaps no one else ever has or will"
"Me! o Jack! you don't mean meT'
Theo cried out beginning to realize.
His arm went round her.

Theo was distracted.

with happy eyes.

I've been pretty patient, Theo. I've

Something-some suppressed eager

worst kind of manner for her work.

The lovely young lady could not guess
what it meant to her to make one good

Julia had seen the look and went
home In comfortable glow Of self-ap-
proval; but when the coat appeared the
glow faded to doubt.
II believe I'll slip 1t on and see what
Dell Armstrong says about It," she re-
solved. "That won't be wearing it
it will only be deciding whether I'll
keep it"
1t was long way to Dell Arm

Dell had agreed that the coat did not
become her and must go back. Julia
was folding it to put into the box when
n spot on the under side of tie sleeve
caught her eye, and with rush of dis
may she remembered that Del's little
daughter had climbed into her lap
with candy in her hand. For a mo-
ment she hesltated, then she closed
the box resolutely. She did not know
that the spot was not there all the
time; and anyway, they knew how to
clean things at Barnard's. 1t would
not make any difference to them.
So Julia carried the cloak back. The

Kathleen went on. Theo watched her
light challis twinkle up the street in
the shadow of the old naples, then she
shifted the pillows in the hammock
and cuddled down among them, with n
sigh. How nice 1t must seem to be as
young as Kathleen, and as pretty! 1t
did seem queer that all of mothers
beauty should have gone direct to her
sister-the wonderful blue eyes, the
lovely hair, sheer gold in the sunlight
and delightfully."- mysterious in shadow,
the complexion just like the heart Of
peach blossom. Theo believed that
Kathleen had never walked down
street in her life that some one did not
say Of her: Isn't she pretty?" Even
the children admired her. Theo had
seen the raggedest bits on River street
stand and stare as Kathleen passed.
Well, no one ever looked ut her par
ticulnrly. She wondered why she had
to be born four years ahead of Kath-
leen, and get only sallow skin, Il
mass of untidy dark hair, and eyes
like Japanese girls for her inherit
ance.
Theo could not remember time
when she had not been conscious Of
her defects. and the consciousness bad
grown with years. There was one bit
ter moment in her life which she
would not forget IL she lived to be a
hundred. 1t happened long ago, when
she was thirteen and Kathleen nine or
so. There was to be children's party
in the neighborhood, and she and Katli-
leen were going In gowns new express
ly for the occasion. Aunt EN- had

"Oh, Aunt En-, aln't l pretty, too7'
she had cried. Aunt En- turned and
looked at her, with sigh. Theo could

Into her heart 1t told her everything.
Yet Kathleen, for all her beauty, was
no great favorite with her companions.
She was always having her small feel
ings injured, and needed some one to
apply spiritual afnica and court-plas-
tor. As Bob said Bob was their cousin,
and spoke with the wisdom OF several
years seniority-Kathleen went about
constantly with an urgent want adver-
tlsement out for general comforter and
peacemaker, n position which Theo ac-
cepted finally as being peculiarly fitted
for It II Kathleen knew, she did not
appreciate what Theo was to her,
either then or now that they were both
grown up. 1t was to Theo that Kath-
leen's beaux came. one after another,

He threw down his carbine, drew a

We backed away from each other.
The woods were fairly open, and when
we had thirty feet between Us there
was no obstruction to defect bullet
or annoy the eye.
"All ready, Yank?'
YES"
"I'll be fair. You may do the count
