"Why not?" observed Babcock,
softly; "the worship of idols, we all
know, is not ipfrequently attended by
excess, especially of the kind in which
he seemed to have been indulging
when I had the pleasure of meeting
him, under police escort, early this
morning."
"It's a lie!" said Campion, fiercely;
II was arrested last night; 1 did
spend it in a police station; but for
nothing of that kind! If 1 told you
how 1 came to be taken up, you
wouldn't believe me-"
81 would, Ronald" said Sybil, Il
know you have done no wrong!"
God bless you, darling!" said the
poor man, brokenly; II was speaking
to the others, and to them it's useless
defending myself, l know"
Then l think" said Mrs. Stani-
land, there's nothing to keep us here
any longer"
zone minute" said Babcock, Il
have been informed I'm a liar. I
should like to have that point cleared
up. And I shouldn't wonder if the
policeman, whom We are keeping
waiting all this time, could throw
some light on it if we sent for him.
Shall we see?"
do you agree to that, Mr.. Cam
pion?" said the colonel, with stiff po-
likeness.
Campion knew only too we'll, after
the inspectors hint, that the police
we're not likely in their own interests
to admit that they had been mis-
taken; but he had ceased to keep any
hold on the situation; things might
end as they pleased, If only they
would end quickly.

Move to Revive Silk Hat.

A determined effort will be made
In London to revive the tyranny of
the top hat. For some years the hat
has been declining in public favor,
and derbys and straws have invaded
the West End of the city annually in
increasing numbers. A committee
has been formed by silk hat manu-
facturers whose business is threat
ened. and a procession in which all
members will wear the best and most
perfect style in top hats will march
through the Anglo-French exhibition
with the object Of showing how be-
coming is this style OF hHadgear.

Women Successful Inventors.

Although the number Of. women
who apply for patents at the patent
office in London only amounts to two
per cent. of the total applicants, yet
it is said that their inventions nearly
always turn out a financial success.
Probably this j. because they are the
outcome of spme real need which has
confronted tie woman in her domes-
tic life, for half of their Inventors
have to do with articles of dress,
cooking or domestic economy, while
almost all the balance is made up by
improvements in the small things
that add to the luxury and comfort Of
lifs. -

Some Wonderful Two-Letter Words

Some Wonderful Two-Letter Words.
Do! Go! Be! No!
Only four, and such wee words
that they are apt to be entirely over
looked or swallowed up by the larger
ones. Yet these tiny words may
mean everything in life and charac-
ter to him who lives them.
Do! What a call to service the
little word is. How insistingly it
rings out it's message, how imperious
are its demands!
Do! Do what? God tells US, II
will teach you what We shall do"
Then let US listen to the great
Teacher:
Eye shall do My judgments, and
keep Mine ordinances" We are to
keep the commandments-what for?
To do them. David prayed a wise
prayer: Teach me to do Thy will"
"Whosoever shall do the will Of My
Father which is in Heaven" said
Christ, would be as near Him spiritu-
ally, or as dear to Him affectionately
as a brother, sister or mother.
He described one class of people as
those who hear the Word Of God
and do it. IF We know these things,
happy are We if We do them" To do
Is to be. Doing is living. Is DO"
in your dictionary?
Go! What a fine marching word
go" is. The racers are ready, with
muscles tense and nerves strained.
when "Go!" shouts the starter and
they're off!
God intended US to have this little
word in our list and in our life, and
He gave directions to His disciples:
go We into all the world, and preach
the Gospel" and the marching order
Of the Son of God has eve been
/ countermanded.
Be! This is yet another humble
little two-lettered word, but 1t asks
for a hearing. Be a man! Be what
you should be-truthful, upright,
clean, honest, loving, helpful.
"Let this mind be in you, which was
also in Christ" and the mind of
Christ will solve the meaning of life.
There is, however, a negative side
to the word. There are just as
many things we are not to be: BE
not wise in your own conceits." for
your wisdom of that | Will only
make you the laughing stock of your
fellows. BE ye not Knockers"
There is no sign of cleverness in that.
And once again, if we fulfill the con-
ditions God has laid down for us, His
promises include the same mighty
word: for, II will be with thee and
will bless thee" II will be a Father
unto you. 1 will be your God"
No! Last of all m modest
little mo" Many a boy has laid
the foundations of his first manhood
by the. grit to say his first No! and
to so say it that it weighed as much
as a six-syllabled word; when to say
1t at the right moment meant the
standing to his colors, meant the re-
fusal to do wrong. meant the key
note of his after-life.
1t may be one Of the hardest words
in the English language to learn to
use, but it may have vastly much to
do with success in life. A no-less
man may be a weak man, a mo" man
may be the very personifcation OF
strength and influence.
Four tiny but mighty words: Let
us repeat them: Do! Go! Be! No!
Let us spell them: Do! Go! BE!

"Nash You; Make You Clean"

1t is we'll for us to make sure that
we always abandon the wrong-doing
which we deplore, that we quit the
evil course which we regret, that we
turn away from the sin which we
confess. A good many people get
only half the Gospel. They talk a
great deal about believing, but very
little about repenting. 1t needs to be
remembered that a faith which does
not lead to genuine repentance Is
not a faith that saves. Repentance
is a chance of heart, a turning of the
face just the other way.-Scottish
RefCrmer.

Washing Cut Glass.

Dust cut glass with a small paint
brush having long, pliable bristles;
this is far better than a cloth. To
wash cut glass use a little borax dis
solved in lukewarm water. This will
restore the brilliancy which has been
dimmed by washing in common dish
water. This treatment is just as good
for pressed glass, and some of the
better grades of pressed glass when
we'll cared for look better than neg.
lected cut glass. Remember that a
sudden change of temperature must
be avoided with all glass.-1ndian'

The Bridal Chest.

Every bride will want a box to hold
the articles of her trousseau as they
are gathered together. Beautiful
boxes of cedar may be purchased for
little, and are made in a very con.
yenient way. Instead of the Iii. lift
ing up, as did the box of great-grand.
ma so long ago, the front may be
dropped down, revealing two drawers
to hold the things. The box locks
securely and the effect is very neat.
Dark cedar boxes are ornamented
with the brides initials in German
letters of solid brass placed on the
false lid.-Washington Star.

Negative Holy Life.

The avoidance of little evils, little
sins, little inconsistencies. little
weaknesses. little follies, little indis'

things as these goes far to make up
at least the negative beauty of a holy
life.-AndreW Bonar.

Twain Emancipated.

Oxford university is not the only
seat of learning that has conferred an
honorary degree on Mark Twain. A
similar tribute was paid to. the famous
humorist and philosopher not so many
years ago by humble institution at a
sleepy Missouri village that had known
him when he was playing Tom Sawyer
there in real life
1t happened that the degree-confer-
ring ceremonies took place one lazy
day in June when newspapers general
ly were suffering from total collapse
of everything in the way of news.
One Park Row news editor raked
the land with figurative fine-tooth
comb and got dry haul for his pains
Then, recalling that Mark Twain was
getting his honorary degree that very
day In his native hamlet 1t occurred to
him that message direct from the
famous author might relieve the stu
alton in the news After much scratch
ing Of the editorial idea factory he
evolved this query, which was trans.
mitted to Mark Twain by wire:
How does 1t feel to be doctor of
laws? Please wire answer at our ex.
pense"
After wait of several hours this
characteristic response came hot over
the wire from Missouri:
1T feels like emancipation from liz.
norance and vice. MARK TWAIN"
