sum OF 300. A change was wrought in him,
and he determined that he would keep such
expenses down to one-third of the sum in
question.
"And now" he said, within ten years [
have profted by Mr.. Bigelow's advice to the
amount of five thousand dollars, which l
have handed over to my wife to keep for
hard times. And l have not become mean,
either"
Now it is not likely that any boy or girl
who reads these lines squanders $3.50 a year
on little expenses; but they may squander
80, OF perhaps only $3.50, and the lesson is
obvious.
A great many little expenses are incurred
as well be thrown into the street and il is
these expenses that an expense book would
check.
It is not "mean" to keep an account of
little expenses. The United States Govern.
ment requires all postmasters to collect and
sell waste paper and string, and render an
account of the money realized from the sale:
army officers are required to account for
every hammer, bit of harness, yard of cloth
or gilt button; and the Weather Bureau re-
quires its observers to report the disposition
of every. postage stamp.
80 1T Is IN every great mercantile or manu-.
featuring establishment, the little EXPENSES
are rigidly looked after, because experience
has shown that in the aggregate they amount
to large sums.
Take care of the pennies by noting where
they 60, and you will be surprised to find
how the practice win act as check on useless
expenditures; Keep guard on the little
expenses and you will have no trouble with
the big ones.

But onward and upward went Tom Haw-

men.
And now, they were halfway; and now
they were three parts up, and now the high
est ridge was plainly visible only little way
overhead, when suddenly stone came clat-
tering from above, just missing Tom Hawkins
head.
The daring men clenched their teeth, and
for moment their hearts stood still. Had
the Spaniards seen them? No; it was only a
loose piece of rock which had suddenly given
way and fallen crashing into the dizzy depths
below.
A few seconds more and they stood upon

at is a good thing to keep, an account of

said to an acquaintance, as he entered an
item in his notebook.
His listener smiled at the remark, but be-
ing sensible fellow, he took it to heart. In
recently telling the story of his experience,
he said that, up to that time he had never
thought of the amount it annually cost him
for cigars and other sundries. He began to
itemize the cost daily. He was amazed at
the end of the year when he footed up the

sleep. by, the British war-cry.
My dream is true" muttered old Manuel
as he went down beneath the stroke of an
English cutlass
Stand to it for Spain, my children-we'l
beat them yeti" shouted the brave Spanish
commandant, Don Rodrigo d'Aguilar, rally
ing the dismaved soldiers and hewing with
the strength of giant at the advancing
enemy.
So CALAMITY did the Spaniards fight, that
for a moment the rush of the assailants was
completely checked, but just then terrible
uproar behind them told that the English had
entered the next gallery.
Don Rodrigo shouted to his men to follow
him, and without even waiting to see whether
they did or no, flew toward the threatened
spot.
As he entered the gallery, he stumbled over
heap. OF rubbish and fell forward upon his
face, his sword flying out of his hand in the
Springing to his feet, he looked round for the
a deep cleft.
The next moment he found himself face to
face with a powerful English seaman-Tom
Hawkins himself in fact-.who had a cutlass
in his hand and silver-hilted Spanish sword
tucked under his left arm like an umbrella.
Hello, mattel" cried Tom; "lost your sword,
eh? Well, see here-EEe got two swords,
and you've got none; so just catch hold Of
this j, here Spanish thing, and then We'll start
u Agullar eyed him for moment with
somewhat puzzled hook, as if half suspecting
a joke. Then bowling as if acknowledging a
compliment, he grasped the proffered sword
and the fight began.
Don Rodrigo was splendid swordsman, and
the sailor, strong as he was, found that he
had met his match. Sparks flew from the
whirring blades, and the rock-cut passage
echoed with the stamping and shouting of the
combatants.
All at once Toms cutlass Qess perfectly
tempered than the Spanish sword) snapped
close to the hilt, leaving him defenseless.
But before the Spaniard could strike, Haw-
face and as D'Aguilar staggered beneath the
stunning shock. Tom sprang in and clutched
him round the body.
Don Rodrigo struggled like lion, but the
sailor held him fast, and they rolled on the
ground together, D'Aguilar undermost.
Just then a deafening cheer was heard, and
a fresh body of English, sent ashore by Sir
George on the other side of the rock the mo-
ment he saw the Spanish flag disappear from
the highest ridge, came bursting in overpow-
cred all resistance and made prisoners of
the gallant commandant and his few surviving
soldiers
That evening" Sir George Rookie, having
thanked and rewarded Tom Hawkins and his
little band of heroes, invited Don Rodrigo to
dine with him aboard the flagship and when
dinner was over he sent the brave Spaniard
ashore again, free man, to tell his countrymen

ish MONDAY lay heavy upon earth and sky.
Not a monkey frolicked among the rocks,
not bird, huttered overhead. Most of the
Spanish soldiers were asleep, and the great
yellow standard of Spain on the summit Of the
cliff dropped lazily in the warm, dreamy air as
if it were asleep too.
But what were those dark figures that came
crawling snakelike up the terrific precipice
which overhung the sea to the eastward on
the outer side Of the great rock?

have believed his own eyes, so impossible did

that clustered at its base along the edge of the
blue, sparkling sea, and the smooth, wide
sweep of Algeciras Bay, and the sunny hills of
Andalusia beyond it, crowned with vines and
olives to the very summit.
1t lighted up, too, the white sails of half
dozen stately ships-of-war in the offng, whence
Admiral Sir George Rocks was watching the
great fortress that had never been taken
since it was built ages ago. The British ships
had already lain there for several days with
out any sign of an attack, and the Spanish
soldiers laughed mockingly as they made taunt-
ing gestures at their enemies from the unscal-
able cliffs above.
"What sayst thou, Diego" cried one to his
comrade. "Will not these English fools lie
there till their ships rot before they can take
Gibraltar?"
'Let them try it," rejoined the other; "they
will find Spanish swords to meet them. This
rock hath never felt the foot of an invader
since Tarik and his Moors took it thousand
years ago, and there was no fortress here
then"
Boast not so rashly, brothers," said an old
soldier, shaking his gray head. Last night
l had dream"
Nothing wonderful in that" retorted
Diego. There is never a night when thou
hast not one."
II dreamed" went on the veteran, without
ped down among us from the sky like the sea
birds that alght upon our cliffs and swept us
before them as the storm sweeps the dust
And that was an evil dream, brothers, for it
was on this very day that Tarik the Moor
stormed this rock, and have heard it said
that if ever, another invader shall set foot
here upon that day., Spain shall never win
back Gibraltar again."
So gloomily impressive were the old mans
tone and look that even the reckless soldiers
felt awed In spite of themselves, but it was
only for moment.
"Bah!' cried Diego, with a scornful laugh.
when see the flag of Spain torn down
from yonder cliff above us, then / will be-

But the, bold Spaniards, brave though they
were, might perhaps have been less confident
if they could have overheard the talk that
was going on at that very moment aboard the
English ,admiraPs flagship between Sir George

crew.

What Socialism Is
(FRoM WArsoNls MAaAzINEl

FROM WATsON's MAGAziNE)
"No, no, no. Socialism does not mean
division of property. Watson says
that because he is ignorant and unfair.
Socialism means the Collective owner
ship of property.
What precious thing the right word
ii Collectiyism!
The Socialist agitator gets as much
unctuous comfort out of the term Col
lectivism as the good old Methodist sis
ter derived from "that blessed word
'Mesopotamia' "
Yes, am ignorant, but | don't mean
TO be unfair. Let us see:
You propose to collect all the private
estates, and to form them into one vast
public estate; and then you will allow
to everybody proprietary interest in
and to this public estate, without refer
ence to who did or did not own private
estates.
Yet you pretend to believe that this
is not division of property.
Brothers, are you deceiving yourselves
when you proclaim such contradict
DRY doctrine, or do You merely seek to
deceive others?
When our barbaric German ancestors
in the olden time had overrun some
province of the Weather but weaker
Roman Empire, it was their custom al
the end of the marauding campaign to
collect into one hugh pile the spoil Of
battle. Gold and silver from the rich
mans chests, cattle from the poor mans
field, precious vessels from temple and
church, promiscuous loot from palace
and hut, from bazaar and shrine. bull
up the heap Of booty which belonged to
the victors in common.
Impartially it had been stripped from
the good and the bad, the high and tn,
low, the country and the town.
Collectively it now belonged TO tn
good and the bad, the high and the low
the country and the town.
And from this great collective boar
each member Of the marauding ban,
took in proportion to his merit.
Modern Socialism, more generou
than the barbaric chieftians, propose
to allow the victim of the spoiler t
retain joint interest in the spoil.
