A HERO AS A HELPER

clothes were dried and their chilled bodies warmed before fire.
 Some men are too conscious of their dignity and standing to i'll lowly of- fees. Paul had no dignity that would stand in the way of his being helpful. So we find him. as usual, to the fore in the capacity of a helper. This time he gathered sticks for the fire. to warm the bodies Of those hulking sol diers who had so ruthlessly counselled his death q few hours before. While about this office of usefulness a viper fastened itself to his hand, and the whole company. seeing 1t, expected him to drop dead.
 Hut no viper that wriggled could kill Paul. even as the waves and winds of the Mediterranean had been ffn- potent. He had a through ticket to Rome. authorized by the General Su- periptendent of all roads. The natives did not know this; and they thought that Paul himself was some sort of deity. He was a friend of God. and a feliowworker with Jesus Christ, which Is as near to being a deity as mortal e~er comes
 Still animated by the passion for her fuiness, Paul found an opportunity for service when he had become the guest of Governor Publius for three days. The latter's father was i'll, and Paul cured him. That started toward him the familiar procession of the sick and mained. and he healed them. The world is full of need. and there is ev- anywhere work for hearts that ask no career of herolsm. but only a chance to be helpful.

Well what did your kids like best" says Jones.
 "weiE they thought that little short clown was the cutest ever," replies Smith. land all the time, was trying to get them to watch that wonderful trapexs act. the one where those clev- CT chaps and women did those great stunts on the flying trapeze and hori- zontal ladders you know. they would persist in watching that idiotic clown"
 Then Jones cuts in again: Well my kids thought the trained elephants beat the whole show. you know how they stood upon their heads. the ele- plants mean. not the kids; we'll they all most went wild over that and when those beastly elephants blew those horns and actually played a tune I couldn't hold my bunch. It's queer how children like trained anil mai stunts any way. Now those tum- blers took my eyes and I tried to get my boys and girls to watch 1t and the little beggars just couldn't see anything but two deuced clowns, clev- CT fellows though. who were beating each other with sticks and things like that.p

 Physician Works In Vain.
 The physician. vainly sought to re- suscitate the men when they were carried to him a few minutes later. He said they died of suffocation.
 At the entrance of the shaft a scene was enacted such as is seen only at a disaster of this kind. Hundreds of screaming women. weeping children and frantic. but helpless men. crowd ed around the place. A few survivors were surrounded by groups of the wo- men and their answers to the loudly shrieked inquiries only added to the terror of the women. Almost to q men they declared that there was no hope for those left behind in the mine Almost 200 of the men imprisoned in the mine, they declared. were in the third vein, the only entrance to which was from the second vein. almost 500 feet from the main shaft of the pit
 Superintendent Steele reluctantly echoed the opinion of the miners. When the extent of the fire was re- aiixed the officials saw that ordinary measures were intellectual. The fire had burned away the timbers of the shaft and the flames soon reached the escape shaft. A few minutes later the fan which supplied air to the shaft collapsed and tumbled through the op- ening. The flames then swept on to the mouth of the pit where they were carried to the surface. forcing back all those who ventured near. The of- ficers knew the fire must be eating its way back into the shaft and then the heroic measure Of sealing the mouth of the pit was adopted. Be- fore this water had been poured down the escape shaft but with not better effect than to flood the floor and fur ther impede any effort of those inside to escape.
 Few May He Alive.
 That those of the men who were able had retreated to the furthermost ends of the veins was the statement

deeply sunken restless eyes, and his
gait was shambling and uncertain

his collapse in court yesterday, when
he heard the alleged confession Of his
wife read, he las been IN such shape
