our moral and physical welfare that
we labor for all our belongings and
privileges.

. surdities. Indeed, Sir John, with so many little things to occupy his thoughts. had ceased to think either very frequently or very seriously of his vagrant son. He and Jack were the best of pals, but each had gone his own way. And why not? Live and let live" was now Sir Johns motto- sad case of people who have long lost all the pleasures of life. and yet will go on living.
 You could catch all the iightness and tolerant genialty of Sir John in the tone of his greeting when nowa- days Jack appeared.
 Jack. my dear .fellow--you're the. very fellow I wanted to see. Your mother will be down directly. Look here-at those engrayings-Morland Picked 'em up at / Crossby's in Water Lane. Deuced good. aiat they? Now. where are we to hang them? Short wants 'em in the library. I say in here--if we can make room for them. Short, try this against the wall. Hold 1t up before that sea-piece. Short"
 Yes, Sir John"
 Short "a docile and admiring par lormaid under him-served the dinner with pomp that was now tempered by snugness and prettiness. There was the fine cut glass, the grand china
 
 true heraldic colors, the massive sil- yer almost bearing down with its hun dreds of ounces the new spindle-legged Sheraton sideboard-all this was of the old style; but the maid had fantastic little tricks of decorating the table with streamers of maiden-hair fern, and was apt to tie up the French bread in green ribbons; there were fluffsL featherly shades upon the candles; the firelight sparkled on quaint brass dogs. flashed in little blue tiles be- meath the white mantel-shelf-and,a all this was of the new style.
 Sir John throughout the dinner sus- tained the versation-chattering amiably to Jack. to his wife, to Short, and to the maid-and never allowed the talk to flag by ly-pausing for replies.
 Well. Jack. what's the best news with you? Short, where do you get Nepaul. Get Nepaul. Edith, go into my room and fetch The Times left it in my armchair. My dear. I want to read you a police-court case--most consummate impudence I ever heard of. After the fish-after I've done the fish. Very good sole. isn't it?

Sir John recited how and in what man. ner man pretending to be baponet had fraudalently obtained goods.

Defence--and it's no defence was, the fellow had always called him. self Sir William, was known as Sir William, and did not assume the title for purpose of fraud-believed he was a baronet. Deuce take the fellows impudence," and Sir John indignant ly bolted large mouthfuls of mutton. I've looked him up in Burke and Lodge No such baronetcy, of course. Fellows no more baronet than Short is. Eh, Short? If eyer you leave my service--and hope you won't-don't you go about calling yourself Sir Thomas Short"

Sir John. l told them when convenient to you, Sir John, and not before" Mir Brown and the others would have waited till the crack of doom; nothing could shake Sir Johns credit with them; their only anxiety had been to secure the warrant as surveyors to Chiselhurst now that the Hill House warrant had expired. If you chanced to hear them boastful- ly shouting in their shops, you could not doubt that their customer had re- tained his legendary importance Saddle O lamb for Chiselhurst. Come come. don't go to sleep with that lit tie saddle what trimmed for Sir John" Or. where's those two Chiselhurst soies--for Sir John and her ladyship? Bustle, my lad, hustle" Nevertheless, though he appreciated this faithful homage, Sir John twiried his stick higher, cooked his hat more a livelier air. when he knew that all old debts had been extinguished.
 There was Lady vincent's income to go on with---700 wounds per annum in itself enough for up-keep Of Chiselhurst; there was money coming from London for everybody--quite enough to supply Jack, if one could have prevailed on him to take his share. In the second year Sir John built out conservatory for my lady, filled 1t with the flowers she loved, bought a sundial, dug ground. and con structed a square basin for water lilies with tiny fountain jet to play on the lilies; and. walking backwards from the house to obtain a compre- hensive view of the conservatory and sundial, fell into the basin-but did not injure himself.
 Nothing could iniure him now-he felt so light in body. so free in mind. During the third year Ne was able to allow good Ladv Vincent petty cash almost on the old scale for her. ,harit- able needs-and humble friends came as much confidence as they had felt when plodding up the hill and through the white gates. More and more snug little sums were coming from London enough for immediate use; enough to put bv for the future. But was 1t worth while batheriDg ones self about the future? The future could take care of itself. Out of the cloudy future there must come. sooner or later, a golden sunburst. Sir John. with less and less reticence. talked now of those settled funds from which he was shut out only by creaking door. Cousin Harriet could not hang laws, which no poor old dear can brush aside. Some day Miss Vincent must so-and she could not take the money with her.
 Thus, when Jack on these cold win ter evenings changed his working clothes to the orthodox swallow-tails and dropped i'm for dinner at Chisel- hurst, it was to meet "a reconciled hap py papa. as well as proudly smiling mamma.

opening wine at the Sheraton side
 Papa and Short always brought out their best wine for this guest, but mamma was delighted to observe that the beloved guest drank sparingly-no matter how rare the vintage. Her eyes grew bright and her heart melted in thhnkfulness when she heard the maid asked for some more appolinaris.
 Once Sir John unconsciously fright ened Jack by begging for his opinion as wine-expert.
 Look here. Jack-my dear fellow. You must help me to crack bottle of pop tonight. Short-that new champagne. We'll try 1t now. Jack. want your true opinion. Quite new wine. Only got three bottles. I'll let you into the secret that 1t isn't dear. New fellow---has his name to make. An; opens all right anyhow
 Short. releasing the cork, had pro duced a most tremendous bang, which really frightened Jack.
 "Oh. I say, Sir John," he stammered. don't say you've-? Short, bring 1t here;" and he hastily turned up the white napkin with which Short had swathed the bottle. "If it's--well. If it is, you know. you've just No. it's all right: 1t isn't.''
 It was not Rosencrantz.
 After dinner, when Short had fetch ed the coffee and put the cigar-boxes by his masters elbow, Sir John almost always spoke-without reticence--of his expectations.
 "Baddish news from Bournemouth, Jack"
 .tWhat--is the poor old lady worse?"
 'No--shes better::" and Sir John smiled good -naturedly. "Confound 1t all-she is taking her time. isn't she Dr. Lacy writes-marked improvement of stamina--but dead mentally. Death in life--Lacy calls It."
 When MT Jack was going, her lady ship always came out into the tiny hall to make sure that Short was wrapping up the guest properly against the cold night air
 Thank you. Short. say, Short, old boy. do you know, you are putting on flesh very fast. Do you think you eat too much ?''-
 T don't eat any more Mir. John, than used to in the old days
 'Ah, but we all used to eat too much in the old days"
 Then Lady Vincent came from the warm little drawing-room to make quite sure.
 Good might. my dearest boy. Kind remembrances to Miss Crunden. My very kind remembrances." said Lady Vincent graciously. T never mis- judged any one as I did her-such right views on all subjects"
 And Sir John, following his lady to the threshold of the drawing room suddenly remembered the Crundens. of whom he had said no word till now.
 ''Oh. ah, yes. to be Sure How's the old fellow? And how's Miss Crunden? Yes. of course--to be sure. Miss Crun- den!" and Sir John smiled mysterious ly. as though the name had brought back secret and rather amusing thoughts. Hope Miss Crunden's we'll. Still Miss Crunden? Not mar ried yet, is she?'
 'No." said Jack, ''she is not married Goodnight" and he marched away in the cold and the darkness to his hum ble bachelor home.

 balance at the bank; Tor them was fidv inc muddle that Sir John had made. Sir John might now pile up the papers on his desk, accumulate a iitA fer of documents, and surround nim- self with innumerable files Of scrip- bled memoranda; but he could not any more hurt himself by doing so. All dangerous papers were In saIe nahos. How rich was Sir John. how poor was Sir John, in what manner had he come to grief. and why? Sir John could never have answered these baffling questions. Answers to all such enig- mas must now be supplied by the wise men of law. And the Knowledge that self-catechism was done with forever made Sir John sleep soundly. walk lightly. and digest food quickly.
 It appeared to the solicitors that their client had always been unable to distinguish capital from income. It was as if the difference between
 money and the product .of money was to Sir John something un- thinkable--as the fourth dime nsion. or consciousness resulting from molecular motions. or universe not eternal, are to many other men. But this inability was only one of the weaknesses in Sir John when considered purely as a business man. He had been rash in speculation--buying shares in the widest concerns, paying calls when the venture was fatally rotten, for- feiting his holding in the rare cases when the thing was about to turn up trumps He had borrowed money at s4b "a tn lend if gain at a low rate. He sold the gilt-edged .securi- ties which he had, because he put him self into dilemmas by selling the wild cat stock which he had not. He had written scathing rebukes to respectable stockbroking firms for attempting sharp practice, and had sent warm thanks to bucket shops for opening his eyes to the modern system of profit snatchfng. In a word-his own word he had muddled things.

Negro Thieves Who Entered Residences
 at ScOftsbOrO.


 Scottsboro, Dec. 16.-(Special.)- Three negro tramps entered a number of residences Friday night and made quite a haul. At the Methodist par sonage they got $25 from Rev. MT. Herring.
 They entered the homes of John Beard. Albert Cordell. Rev. Mir. Davis and several others. and carried away money. shoes. hats and clothing from all of the places. They took a pistol from under a pillow on which MT. Cordell was sleeping. They raised a window and entered the room of John Beard and had to crawl over the bed in which he and his wife were sleep ing.
 The three thieves were captured i've miles west of town by posse headed by Deputy Sheriff Thomas and Police man Sowell. They also found on them when taken into custody several fine gold watches. one of which was ider- tified by the Chief of Police of Chatta- nooga as the property of MT. Wilcox of that city.
 They were brought back to Scotts- buro and after being photographed were put in jail to await trial. The Tennessee authorities also want them.
