re Was the Original Of stevenson's
Dr. Jckyll and Mr.. Hyde.
Deacon Brodle. whose singular story
Is said TO have inspired Stevenson with
the immortal tale Of Dr Jekyli and
Mr. Hyde. was a substantial wright
and cabinet maker IN the Lawnmarket
Of Edinburgh He was a burgess and
guild brother Of his native town, and
so high did he stand In the estimation
Of his fellow craftsmen that for four
years they elected him a member OF
the town council as deacon Of the in
corporation Of wrights. Success IN
public life helped the deacon IN his
business as a wright, and few men ap-
peared TO have less ground TO quarrel
with the conventional conception Of
meum and tuum. Nevertheless the
deacon was always IN want of money.
He was an inyeterate gamester. n gay
and much involved bachelor, and he
had a passion for the fashionable sport
OF cockhghting. All this brought the
respected burgess into bad company,
particularly at a certain disreputable
tavern in tho Fleshmarket close. fire.
quented by sharpers. In 1888 Brodie
was even accused OF himself using
loaded dice. The charge was very like
ly true. but It never came up for trial,
for the deacon meanwhile had been
convicted OF a hanging matter.
Brodie, in fact, had for years been
living a double life. In the daytime
he was an honest craftsman. but at
night he exchanged his chisel for n
Jimmy and a dark lantern. The dea-
con was a humorist, and the situation
doubtless appealed to him. The friend
he had robbed overnight he would con-
dole with IN the morning. and after
some particularly ingenious burglary
he would be the FIRST In the council
chamber to suggest offering a reward
for discovering the perpetrator. For
twenty years this prince OF cracksmen
remained unsuspected, and he was
only brought to book at last by the
treachery Of a confederate. The dea-
con was sentenced to be hanged-on
the new drop gallows he had suggest
ed himself 70 the city fathers-and
hanged he was. though not without a
characteristic attempt to cheat the gal
lows. A French quack, DIR. Peter Del
gravers. 80 the story goes, came to him
in prison and undertook TO restore him
TO life after he had hanged the usual
time. To the last his fellow citizens
loved to cherish a belief that he had
been resuscitated and had escaped

Why is it, then, that the honor and
manllness which you practice among
your companions finds no place in the
discharge of your duties to God and
religion? Have you ever compared tn5
money you spend for theatre tickets
with the amount you give for the or

ture for the parish debt, fof>the altar.
Is it manly or honorable to neglect
these positive religious duties that you
may the more generously indulge your
self in the latest cut of clothes or in
habits that are harmful, and pleasurtS
that are forbidden?
Manly and honorable young men
ought 10 think OF these things. and are
rarely guilty of the Inconsistencies
mentioned. Don't have an empty hand
for GCd and a generous purse for pleas
ure. If you always feed your earnings
TO pleasure alone. misery will come to
mock YOU for your folly. Look about
you; see the man who gives generously
to God. ana you see man who is hap
py and prosperous. Remember. the
Creator will not permit the creature TO
Guido him in generosity. Be as manly

religious as you arc of your other du-
ties. 1t will be to your credit in life
