Darkness, Temporal and Spiritual.

A certain bishop, whose diocese Is
near New York, was calling recently
upon family in that city. This
household Is in possession Of a treas
ure which has become extremely rare
of late--a faithful old Irish servant.
whose term Of Office dates back nearly
a quarter of century. From long as
ISOLATION with the family, she is priv

position of nurse to a little grandchild
who lives with the family.
On the evening Of the bishops call,
he and the members of the household
including the youngest, Mary's
charge-were sitting In the parlor after
dinner in the deepening twilight. Bed
time for the little one arrived. and
promptly on the hour came Mary In
search of her. In the dim light the
old woman did not notice stranger

usual freedom, she exclaimed, peering
about for the child:

There was roar Of laughter. and
the clergyman acknowledged that the
joke was undoubtedly on him. !,

Within recent months there have
been serious accidents to naval yes

though they have been due to va
riety Of differing causes, they may be-
divided. broadly speaking, into two
classes: due to errors In maneuver-
ing. resulting In collisions, and those
due to explosions In the ammunition
stores
Naval officers say that such acci-
dents are merely so many manifesto
tions of fate; that sailor takes
chances when he goes to sea. and that

a chance against him.

its personnel up to an efficiency near

such as those which have visited the
English men-owar to neglect of duty,
In any way or fashion," said an officer.
"And when you say psychological infiu-
ence, you mean, in effect, that they
permitted something to step between
their duties and themselves. This Is
not so. l am sure. A man who goes to
sea--particularly man who goes to

run chances.

"But. anyhow, they make specially
of sending out their ships In all kinds
of weather, fair and stormy. The Eng
lish channel is a maze Of tricky cross
currents, and the coasts Of the British
Isles are often obscured by thick fog
blankets. The weather In that part
OF the world Is not bit better than
II ought to be, which does not make
It an easy maneuvering ground. AS

The first time she read the letter
with Joy and pride. The second time,
there was little, restless, unsatisfied
feeling. The feeling grew stronger
and stronger as she thought Of the let
ter and of the events that had led up
to present conditions.
Harry Drusill had been poor boy.
He had worked his way through
school and through law ONCE. After
his admission to the bar he had sue
ceeded rapidly. He had worked in
county politics until he had acquired
enough influence to justify his asking
for the nomination for state senator
Of his district.
But at the same time that a candi-
date for the senate was to be selected,
two candidates for the house OF repre-
sentatives were also to be named and
in the same county, Robert Reade, de-
sired to go to the house. The political
leaders of the district would not allow
one county to have two nominees and
either Drusill or Reade would have" to
give way at the convention.
For several years Drusill and Amy
Metcalf had been engaged. Until his
nomination seemed certain Amy had
never realized all that 1t might mean
to them both. She had vaguely thought
It would hasten their marriage, for II
nominated he was sure to be elected.
And yet his letter was not the letter
of man who regarded his success
as means to that end.
The general assembly would con.
vene in the winter and he would 60
to the capital. He would live among
the great men of the state and be in
daily association with them. And he
would meet their families and 60 to
their homes. He would know their
daughters, beautiful and brilliant
young women who wore city made
clothes and all their lives had lived
among the people one reads Of.
He would see al the dullness and
the provincialism Of the little town OF
his home.

life; who made her own clothes and
sometimes clerked In q store during

tageous marriage.
But II he were not nominated? Then
he would come back to stay In the 1T

they had planned. He would never
know the other life and the other girls.

There was that legacy of his Aunt

things require that she should bear

HOLSTER craned his neck to look
down into the soft face, and very
cautiously whispered: Margaret"
The baby stirred slightly and snug

Gleefully the baby danced and
crowed. An instant later 1t plunged
ecstatically into the impulsive, diaph-
anous arms to be smothered in a wild
embrace.
