they would be taken prisoners unless they
acted quickly. Sellech and Sechler were
ten PAGES away when the brothers ran up
the steps and tried to get into the six-story
apartment house at go and 232 Thompson
street. The street door was closed and
held fast with a snap lock. Salvatore
turned at bay, and seeing Selleck who Is a
big six-footer. looming up over him. held
up his revolver, which contained but two
remaining shots in it's five chambers and
pulled the trigger. The bullet penetrated
Sellecks left breast very near the heart,
and he fell unconscious where he had been
standing on the stone porch.
Secher followed Sellick, and was about
to grapple with Salvatore Governale when
the latter let go at Sechler with the re-
manning shot. and the bullet entered Sech-
ler's abdomen.
Sechler followed Seleck and was about
his head. The detective. thoroughly enraged
at the fate of his partner lying on the steps
nearby. battered Salvatore Governale furi-
ously about the head and face with a billy
he carried. and which he then held in his
right hand Ten seconds later Fogarty

There is not such a great amount of happiness in the world, even at the best, that we should risk losing it by our own misdeeds and i'll nature. There are many people in life who may be likened to a briar bush, when one comes too near he gets stung by thorns; but each individual should remember that he himself is sometimes thorny and apt to inflict wounds. Therefore each one should be more lenient toward the other, re- membering that the more one strives against such things the deeper they penetrate and the more painful wounds they make. A spark of fire if left to itself will eventually die out, but if it be nursed and fuel added, behold,
 what great confiagration ensues. Forbearance is the only remedy,

Courtesy, like charity should begin at home. Of course one does not expect to find the same degree of ceremony practiced there as the formalities of mere acquain- tanceship exact, but there certain ly should not be less respect and difference paid to those who are nearer and dearer to us, than to outsiders. The man who is a gentleman in his home and among those who comprise his immediate household, can be trusted to do nothing unbecoming to a gentle man when beyond the precincts of home; but the man who is cour- tesy itself when abroad is often times the veriest boor within the confines of his own dwelling place. Such man may pride himself on being 8 gentlemen; but he is de- fcient in the elementary instincts of the true type, and is consequent ly somewhat akin to a counterfeit that has obtained more or less cir culation among the uninitiated, but is neverless a spuriour coin, the worthlessness of which will be discovered sooner or later.
