In the home where he was by acct
dent, and where he remained for one
night only, this implacable enemy had
reached him. Shivering from cold he
lay in his bed; an inexplicable dread
seized him. He was unable to subdue
his excitement, incapable of collecting
his thoughts.
The explanation of this incident was
simple. Before he left his home Alad-
jew had mechanically put the freshly
arrived letter into his pocket; when
the servant was cleaning his clothes
the letter dropped to the floor, and the
servant put it on the dressing-tabl In
spite Of this obvious explanation,
Aladjev was deeply impressed and
could not forget the incident.

Years ago Aladjev had begun TO
write for a liberal newspaper. His
writings bore the stamp of purely
Russian liberalism. and were perme-
ated with far-off idealistic, high
minded altruism. They reflected a
vague longing toward the good and
the true, and an instructive hatred of
the evil and the false And he was
daring almost to foolhardiness. This
daring pleased the readers in the
provinces and gave Aladjev the repu-
tation of the banner-bearer and leader
in the fight for freedom. But besides
some sort of reputation in regions
where even the foxes bid each other
goodnight, and five kopeks a line.
these writings brought no return to
the author. However, he did not he
come embittered; he merely deter
mined to make fortune for himself
along different lines. A small mort
bund paper fell into bis hands. Re-
ing clever man, Ala djev compre-
hended that high-mind adness would
not make him prosperous. And so
he changed his tune.
To those in power he spoke in an
apparently daring, critical, unpreiu-
diced vein; but it always happened
that after his strongest attack the
mighty ones shone far more resnlen-
dent than before. For the weary and
heavy-laden he had words of fatherIv
benevOlence. With a show of COM
passion and love he pilloried their
failings and vices. He discovered q
new formula in writing-a cringing
f1attery, clad in the garb of high
minded unseltishness, combined with
an uhctuOus transcencental hatred
of humanity.
TIL paper edited on these fines -four
1shed. Some loved, others hated it,
No one respected 1t, but everybody
read it. Aladjev had reached his goal.
His financial resources grew daily, his
income became magnificent.
But the years of such feverish activ
1ty left their traces. Aladjev grew
old and infrm. Against lis will there
arose in the bottom of his soul
old longforgotten, forcibly-suppress
longlugs. They brought in their train
the painful consciousness of a duality,
an uncomfortable self-detestation

Janef's Way of Growing Young.

AS a matter of fact, Janet was
born exactly two years before
her brother Fred; therefore in
the natual course of things when
he was ten she was twelve and
glorified in it. When Fred was
known to be fourteen She still
confessed to sixteen. When Fred
Ooasted eighteen years she timid-
ly acknowledged herself over
nineteen. When Fred came
home from college and had a
party in honor of his twenty
first birthday Janet said to her
friends; What a boyish fellow
Fred is! Who would think he is
only a year younger than II"
When F ed declared himself
twenty-five and old enough to get
married Janet said to a gentle
man friend; do you know, l
feel very jealous of Fred getting
married. But then, / suppose
twins always are more attached
to one another" And two years
later at Fred's wedding she said,
with girlish shipper to the guests
Dear old Fred! To see him
today, and to think
when he was only five years old
they brought him to see me, his
baby sister; | wonder if he thinks
of it now.

Goats require more salt than

wide worlds joy. The lonely
pine of the mountain top waves
its somber boughs and cries,
"Thou art my sunp and the lit
tie meadow violet lifts its cup of
blue and whispers with its per-
fumed breath, "Thou art my
sum-" and the grain in a thou
sand fields rustles in the wind

but for the universe of life, and

low that he may not look up with
childlike confidence and say,
MY Father, thou art mine!"

A Fine Thought.

]. G.. Alden, postmaster at
Aurora, Nebraska, wrote for a
local newspaper this fine thought:
"My three-year-old son stood
enraptured watching the setting
of the sun. 1t was a glorious
sunset. The great orb hung
low in the western sky and all
the west was bathed in a flame
of golden light. 1t was such a
sunset as artists attempt to con-
vey to their canvas. | was busy
with some trivial matter at hand
when little voice interrupted
me: Papa, is that our sun?
The lads face was aglow with
the pleasure of the sight. hes
itated moment and then re-
piled: Yes, my boy, that's our
sum- And no one can take it
away from us?' he rejoined. No,
son, no one can take it away
He was satisfied and turned to
his play. But his question
brought to my mind a train Of
thought that would not leave.
How many of us go blindy
through life, cropping our way
amid the things of the earth,
training our eyes to pierce the
darkness rather than enjoy the
light, and taking meager pOr-
ton of our share of the pleas
ures of life when it is ours to
know and possess a thousand
blessings of nature put here for
us by a loving Creator. Ours is
the golden sunset, but we do not
see it. Ours is the sight of the
waving green and the bloom of
the flowers, but we heed them
not. The song of the birds and
the music of the brooks were
made for our ear, but we hear
them not. Our minds are full of
the sordid thoughts of life and
business, so crowded with daily
cares that we miss the glories of
nature and the blessed inspira-
ton which they bring. We need
the voice Of the child to awaken
US to an interest in the beauties
of Gods wonderful creation, and
need to feel as did the little lad
that the beautiful sunset was
made for our enjoyment and
none may deny the sight to us. :"
