FAMOUS LOVING CUPS.
King Halls Grace Cup and the Skin
ners' Peacock Cup.

Some of the old loving cups were
called grace cups. OF the specimens
now in possession of the English
guilds and corporations the most
famous is the Henry VIII. grace cup,
which belongs to the BARRIERS Com
pany, of London.
With it's four globular bells hang
ing around the outer rim, says the
jewelers. Circular, this cup might
well excite the envy of even the most
honest collector of silverware.
The name Of the cup is derived
from the fact that King Hal was the
donor, the grace cup being intended
to commemorate the union Of the
BARRIERS with the Guild Of Surgeons.
The cover carries the Tudor rose,
portcullis, and feur-de-lis, the final
of the lid being mounted with, the
imperial crown, the English and
French arms being beneath, support
ed by the lion and greyhound.
The SINNERS Company has a pea
cock cup, though it is in the form of
a peahen. This large silver bird, with
three chicks at her feet, stands on the
silver badge which was formerly
worn by the company's barge master,
and around it are the engraved
words, "The gift Of Mary, ye daughter
of Richard Robinson, and wife to
Thomas Smith and James Peacock,
SINNERS, 1912" The lady's two hus-
bands were both masters of the COM
pany.

matter the other night at club.

The Railroad Slaughter.

We have had long trial Of the
plan of letting the railways conduct
their business in their own way, and
any unprejudiced person must admit
that the plan is dead failure. Cas-
ualties are increasing and not dimin-
ishing. The interest of the public
in safe and efficient railway operation
surpasses by far all other interests.
Railway officials owe a duty to the
public beyond even what they owe
to the holders of railway stocks and
bonds. Safety in operation ought to
be a paramount consideration, and
when an accident occurs, the public
is entitled to know the facts and all
the facts.-Engineering News.

CHAPTER K.
A Tr,,o I.oyar,c KDot

Lambert's hearers were silent for
a few minutes. Both perceived the
danger and difficulty of his situation.
To Glynn there seemed but one
means of security to both-one he
was the most ready to adopt. AS his
wife, Elsie would be out of Deering's
reach. While he thought Lambert
seemed to revive.
IF not inconvenient, should like
to see the ring you mentioned" said
Lady Gethin.
Certainly" said Lambert. "Glynn,
ask Elsie to bring the little despatch
box from the table in my room"
Glynn went to deliver the message,
and Elsie, who came down stairs, in
lquired anxiously if her father was
not overtired. Glynn assured her
that he seemed better for the relief
of complete confidence. II trust we
shall be able to find way out of all
his difficulties" he concluded.
Elsie brought the box, and placing
it in his hands, looked up in his eyes
with a sweet, frank smile. IF his
mind is at rest, he will soon be
better"
Il am sure he WILL" said Glynn.
And you, too," he added, you
need rest and sense of security
when / see him well, l too shall
be myself again"
Glynn took her hand and kissed it
reverently. Something Of conscious
ness called the color to her cheek
at the touch Of his lips, and it was
with faint, delicious glow of hope
that Glynn went back to Lambert,
who, drawing out a key which hung
to his watch chain, unlocked the box.
AFTER little search he produced a
small case from which he took an
old-fashioned gold ring, two hands
.clasped, and bracelet Of tiny tur-
puoises on each wrist. There" said
Lambert, that is the ring I took
from the poor fellows hand after he
had breathed his last"
Lady Gethin took it and sat look
ing at it for a moment or two, her
keen black eyes suffused with tears.
This is indeed a message from the
grave" she said, with much emotion.
ri gave this ring to Elizabeth Acton,
"a few days before she married my
relative, Gilbert Deering."
What an extraordinary piece Of
evidence!" exclaimed Glynn.
1T corroborates the effect of your
daughters remarkable likeness to her
mother, There is providence that
shapes our ends,'" said Lady Gethin.
There is no time to be lost in
making some arrangement that will
relieve you from this horrible condi-
tion of fear and concealment. Let US
consult my lawyer"
"A lawyer-no, no." cried Lam
bert. That would be dangerous
I'VE must proceed with infinite
caution" observed Glynn. Deer
ing's position is strong one. If we
could get hold Of Vincent?''

"I pretended to take the PROPOSE
tion of giving her up to Deering into
consideration. Then you came back,
and 1 played a last card. asked
you to marry my Elsie. But you
couldn't, or wouldn't
"Glynn started up. Il don't know
he began.
Let me finish" interrupted Lam
bert. The thought came into my
mind to hide my darling. l ran over
to England, telegraphed to. Mrs. kel-
lett to meet me at neighDorlng
town, and told her something OF my
difficulties.
"a day or two before the ball Mrs.
Kellett, down at her brothers place,
was laid up with a severe cold, ana
was waited on by faithful old SER
want who was partly in her conf
dence, and let no one else into her
room; whereas in the night she had
slipped out Of the house and walked
to the nearest station, where she
caught the first train for London, and
came through to Paris, bringing with
her some English--nade clothes to
dress Elsie in. I did not warn my
jewel, lest she should betray any un-
easiness, but at the last moment l
made her promise to come home from
the ball-not to go to Madam's. This
between ourselves.
"Then I met her, and took her into
the kitchen of the empty etage be-
dow us. I had to contrive to get hold
of the key. She was terribly startled,
but I made her believe her hiding
was essential to my safety. She
changed her clothes and tried to eat
something. We waited until heard
the concierge going about, for the
danger was in going out. / had
brought Mrs. Kellett in with myself
the night before as soon as the house
was shut up, so that no voice but
mine was heard when the concierge
asked, Who was there?' Well, they
got out exactly as that thief of de-
tective guessed, while the concierge
was at the pump. They walked qul-
etly along over the Pont d'Alma,
where they got rid Of the ball dress,
and near the Invalides took a fiacre;
thus they got off by the first train.
"Once landed in England, it would
be next to impossible to track them.
In London, they went to lady's
school at Clapham, kept by a cousin
of Mrs. Kellett's, where Elsie was to
go as teacher without salary.
II made up my mind to do without
letters for months; only one 1 must
have, to say she was safe; that was
sent to a false name at Marseilles,
where I journeyed to get it.
$50 I waited ana waited, never
writing to England except to Mrs.
Kellett now and then, letters COM
posed for inspection; never remitting
money; waiting, watching for
chance of seeming to go back to
America; really, of joining my jewel.
and I found it at last; but there, l
can't say another word. If it hadn't
been for this unlucky illness, we'd
have been on our way to Australia"

How to Live the Infinite Life.

I am quite clear that one OF our.
worst failures is at the point where,
having resolved like angels, we drop
back into the old matter-of-fact life
and do Just what we diG before, be-
cause we have always done it and
because everybody does it and be-
cause our fathers and mothers did it,
all of. which may be the very reason
why we should not do it. There is
no station in life and no place of ones
home where, if he wants to enlarge.
his life in caring for people outside
himself, he may not start on a career
of enlargement which shall extend in
definitely. And the man who enters
upon infinite purposes lives the in
finite life.-Phillips Brooks.

To Prevent TeIescoping.

General Manager Frank Hedley, Of
New York City, has invented simple
device for preventing telescroping of
cars in wrecks Generally cars are
telescoped by the end of one car ris-
ing above the platform of the next
car, in which position the raised car
can go easily through the woodwork
above the platform. Mr.. Hedley's de,
vice is an attachment adapted to bs
secured to the end of the car plat
form which has three prongs on its
outer surface. When two cars come
together these prongs interlock and
prevent either car from rising.

Have an Ideal in View.

Why should any life be aimless in
a world such as this? There is a path
in it for every foot, there is a work
for every hand. There are hearts
waiting to respond to every word OF
love. There are parched lips waiting
for the cup of cold water. There are
tottering, blind spirits feeling their
way over troubled pathways needing
the guidance of eyes that can see.
There are victims of vice whom the.
song might lead to Jesus. There are
warped and twisted tenements where
penury has refused to relax it's piti-N
less grasp, where the.prayer and the
ready help; would be as blessed as the
footsteps of the Great Comforter on
the streets of Capernaum. There is.
no need Of emptiness of life in this
world. From every soul paths radi-s
ate, like spokes of a wheel, paths Of
opportunity along any one of which
we may walk to the glorification OF
God.-United Presbyterian. 80

In splicing a wire rope experience
has shown that the efficiency Of
splice depends on it's length, the
larger the rope the longer the splice

twenty feet, for a one-inch rope it
should be thirty feet, and for rope
over one and one-half inches In di-
ameter it should be forty feet.

DR.. Hugo Niche, who has studied
the spontaneous heating of newly

bacteria. Several thermophilous
species of bacteria and fungi, some
of them new, have been obtained
from heated hay. DIR. Niche thinks
that injurious kinds Of bacteria and
fungi are probably fostered by sweat
ing manure, and that the common
occurrence of the tubercle bacillus
may be due to this cause.
