Captain jeremiah TuggIes Is lnsulted.
It was a moment of splendid tri-
umph for the heroine of this mad es-
capade when she drew under the lee
of the great ship tremendously above
her. Her eySs were as keen as Car
ringtons. She had recognized, or d.
vined, that the tall figure standing on
the rail of the larger boat staring at
her was her husband. She knew that
in some way they had concluded that
she would try to escape on the mer-
chairman and that they were trying
to catch that ship. She was expert
enced enough, also. to know that their
efforts would be futile and their
trouble in vain. There was only one
possible contingency which could pre-
vent the accomplishment of her de-
sires now, and that would be the re-
fusal of the captain of the ship to
stop for her when she ran him down.
Ellen had well-filled purse and she
hcped 10 persuade him with that. At
any rate she kept recklessly on al
though the little boat came near to
swapping and Deborah, between ter
ror and disappointment, was in state
of collapse Ellen boldly ran down
under the lee of the big ship BY
skillful handling she brought her boat
within hailing distance of the mer-
chairman.
A man stepped on the rail to Ice
ward and stared hard at her.
What ship is this?' asked Ellen.
THE Flying Star of Boston,
Ellen's heart sank.

of Philadelphia she cried.
She sailed yesterday"
Where are you bound?" asked Ell

walton of the rich man who looked
with scorn on such unbusinesslike be-
havior. That's what we need now TO
clean this country of the filth of graft,
and of greed, petty and big; of wor-

The Scramble for Wealth.

If there is a sad thing in the world
it is the spectacle of the men and
women who, in their mad scramble
for wealth, have crushed out Of their
lives sentiment and the love of alb
that is beautiful and sublime. The
very process by which they seek to
win the means of enjoyment kills the
faculties by which they can enjoy.
When the average man wins his
wealth he finds himself without the
power of enjoyment, for the enjoying
side of his nature is dead. He finds
to his sorrow that the straining, striv.
ing life is also starving one.

Flattery to the Young man is one Of the
most dangerous things in his social life.
Give a young man his share Of good looks
and pleasing personality and he needs an
unusually level head in order to know where
he stands on the basis of sterling merit. Al
ways he may expect the social admiration
of the young woman.

The religious enthusiasm Of past years
is waning and the average young man of
the present day is simply tired of the
church.
There are many regular attendants at
services who merely go through the forms
of worship out of habit, and are worship
ing a fetish of the past rather than God
of the present.
The tie that used TO bind young man
TO the church is broken. The interest of
Young women in the church is waning. The
spiritual life has become form and when
that happens the religious life is exhausted.
