Tell me all the good you can
about the people that you know.
Tell me only the good about the
people of whom you speak. Tell
me the things which will make
me think well of the people and
of life. Tell me the things that
will make my sun shine, and my

Tell me the things which will
straighten up my thinking and
give me the right principles of
work and of play and of thought.
Tell me the things which will

on the edge of the bank, and each time nearer
to him, They were accommodating as they pro
ceeded along the road,
When the figures had disappeared for the
third time he turned swiftly aside toward the
creek, and looked sharply round for some place
of concealment. The water was flush with the
edge, and the banks afforded shelter He
was unable to swim and dared not risk the cross
ing.
Then few yards away he saw that of
the little guies narrowed up till it almost dis
appeared under the tall weeds on either side.
He did not hesitate for moment, but flung
himself into it. From its narrowness he had es
timated its depth at about two feet but to his
surprise he sank down and down until his head
was under water and he felt the soft mud-banks
press into his shoulders.
With a stupendous effort he dug his feet and
hands into the mud aud raised himself to the
surface, spluttering and gasping for breath. One
Of his hands had caught something hard, and
he brought it mp with him. As he held it above
the water in the moonlight he saw that it was
gold watch and chain. He thrust it into his
pocket, 1t represented an additional item in
bis small exchequer He found he could just
touch the bottom with his feet, and his head
was concealed by a bunch of weeds overhead
As he felt himself sinking into the mud, he
moved up little toward the road in the hope
of finding better footing. His feet encountered
something firm but elastic, like pillow stuffed
with straw, He put one toe under 1t and gave
it lift.
And then a horrible thing happened. He felt
the object rise from the bed Of the gully and
few seconds later a white face rose from the
water. He moved aside the weeds and let the
moon fall on it. 1t was CHASTITY. distorted and
streaming with black mud, A small crab was
hanging TO one of the ears. 1t was the face Of
Susanson,
Jenny forgot all caution in his terror and
shrieked aloud And looking up at that moment
he saw two figures on the hank against the sky
He knew he was discovered
The two men came 10 within five feet of him,
and he saw that Jordison held revolver in his
hand, They stopped,
"What are you doing here, Jermy" Jordison
asked in a quiet voice
The man did not answer, hut hraced every
muscle in his body. He had an idea that Jord-
son would net fire. and that it would come to
physical combat
"Well" Jordison repeated.
Eyer boomin' skunkl" Lipp growled Eyer

Jordison raised his revolver, but Lipp laid
hand on his arm and muttered in his ear. The
next second they were upon their victim, and
the three rolled over the spongy ground The

and slipping the watch into his pocket, sprang
to his feet.
LET the man go, Hpp," he cried "I want
to speak to. him / can shoot him if he runs
Lipp lnosed the throat, but stood over the
fellow like a cat watching mouse. Jenny did
not move. He was nearly black in the face, and
struggling to get his breath.
Where did you get this watchf asked Jordi-
SON. A faint hope fckered in Jermy's breast.
He noted the look on his masters face as he
asked the question Here was something that
was required of him. and he knew that no an
swer could be got out of dead man. He re-
gained his wits-the wits of professional
seoundrel.
"Ill tell yer if ye'll take me 'ome" he replied,
gasping for breath, "and swear you won't try
this game again."
'If you'll swear you won't peach on u.s. and
tell me what | want" Jordison replied, I'll
give you my word Of honor as gentleman that
we will not harm you,
Jenny synre the oath in picturesque language
and Jordison gave him the reqsired assurance.
Then .Jordison and Lipp grasped the man by
the arms and led him to the motnr,car In a
few minutes they were in the Red House
Then over a substantial supper Jermy told his
comrades how he had found the gold watch,
but he said nothing Of the body in the mud.
Jordison's face fell, and there was an ugly look
ON it, but he remembered his promise. He felt
that he had been tricked, for the news was
quite valueess
Yet that night in his bedroom he turned the
watch over and over in his hand, looking at 1T
as though he expected it to speak to him. But
it only spoke the five wordu engraved on the
back of it:

had been armed he would have stood his ground
with confidence, But Jordison took good care
that there should be only one revolver at the
Red House.

minutes crossed it and kept close to it on the
other side
For quarter of an hour he trudged home
ward. Every now and then he turned back and
saw the distant twinkle Of the Beriot lamps,
motionless at the far end Of the road, Then, as
he looked, they seemed larger, and rninute
later he realized that the motor was moving
rapidly toward him. He saw now what had
happened, He was discovered
He crawled over the edge Of the bank again,

contest was short but decisive. Jenny drove
his fists into Lipp's face with such force that
half of the latter's front teeth went down his
throat and the next second he had bitten
piece out of Jordsons ear. But he was over
powered. and Lipp began to choke the life out
Of him, while Jordison held down his legs and
arms With a stupendous effort he freed one
Of his hands, and thrust it into his pocket. He
had a confused idea that there was weapon
there.

fingers touched the gold watch. He drew II

the bare branches of the trees. Then he climbed
over the wall and saw the dark outline Of his
boat on the silvery strip of water.
He stood ON the bank opposite to her and
hailed the man on board. After half dozen
calls James Outen came to the deck of the cut

sculled to the bank, Then he waded ashore

The shanty to which Leduc was at

About shutdown he started back for

Leduc's gun was a light weapon OF

says, he could see the gray shadows

Evil of Too MANY Churches.

America has too many churches.
Towns which might be well admins
tered spiritually by n clergyman or
two have six, eight or ten. No one of
the six or more congregations can
pay for a good preacher. Few of
them can pay all the cost of any
preacher, however poor. Nor can any
one of them pay for all the time of
their spiritual leader. So only very
young men are to be had and the de-
mands upon their time cover so wide
a territory that preaching must be al
most their exclusive occupation and
pastoral duties be almost entirely dis
regarded. One of the cleTgymen OBJ
serves tersely and justly: mo bust
ness could flourish by that method
and few churches can."-Washington

No One to Take Dogs Place.

Thus encouraged, the traveller dis
mounted. But to his chagrin, he
found the food to be such that he
could not force himself to partake of
it. Making such excuses as he could
for lack of appetite, he happily be-
thought himself of a kind of nourish-
ment that he might venture to take
there. He asked for some milk.

No PRIVILEGES for PasshoIders.

President Cassatt of the Pennsyl-

abolition of the pass system, is paying
his own fare when he rides. His
son, Robert Keiso Cassatt, it is re-

lie a good example. An innovation
of kindred cost has been introduced
on the Reading road, where paying
passengers must be provided with
seats, even those travelling on passes
should have to stand. Besides, pass
holders must show their passes every
ride. no matter how well they may be
known to conductors.
