Over the ear of the seat a gray

He paused, thunderstruck, appalled,
by this mo~nstrosity of ingratitude.

Is Tired OF Praying.

A little girl in st. Louis the other
evening was going through the usual
form of prayer: God bless mamma,
and papa and make me a good girl"
and so on, when all at once she
seemed to come to a decision. NOW
that is the last time l am going to
say that prayer" she said, very grave

older than ! am and 1t Is your place

Meeting library and smoking room. In
the library itself a heavy tapestry cur
tanned it's opening, uhile an equally
heavy portiere took the place of a door
at the other end. In the natural order
of things a burglar would overlook
this.
Inch by inch the young man edged
into the smoking room, the door to

Once within, it was but a moments
work to feel his way to the velvet
folds and draw them aside fortunately
without cattling the brass rings from
which the curtain depended. And then
Maitland was in the passage, acutely
on the alert, recognizing from the con

Inch by inch-there was the tapestry!
Very gently the householder pushed it

Only Thing to Do When One Picks
Up Lost Property.

When one is on the public thorough.
fare or in the street car or train or
boat and picks up an object that is
valuable, is it his?
True, he may find something which
is too small and trifing to warrant
searching to find the owner, such as a
handkerchief, a pair of gloves, etc.
But when he finds something of value.
1t is not his until he has done every
thing in his power to find the owner.
The street railways and trains are
so systematized to-day that If, when
one finds an object of value, he returns
it to the company's representative, 1t
is almost sure to catch up with its
owner. Every person of intelligence
knows that the first place to inquire
for it is at the lost and found depart.

across the ample breadths of dew
drenched grass. Somewhere a bird
stirred on its unseen perch, chirping
sleepily; and in the rapt silence the
inconsiderable interruption broke with
startling stress.
In time-not long-the house lifted
into view; a squat, rambling block of
homegrown architecture with little to
recommend it save its keen ~associa-
tions and it's comfort. At the edge of
the woods the lord and master paused
indefinitely, with little purpose, sur
veying idly the pale, columned facade,
auo wondering whether or not his en-
trance at that ungodly hour would
rouse the staff of house servants. If
ii did not-he contemplated with mild
amusement the prospect of their sur
prise when, morning come, they should

Maitland, softly.
A disk of white light, perhaps a foot
Or IS inches in diameter, had fitted
swiftly across the glass and vanished.
'Ah, all, The devil, the DEVIL"
murmured the young man, uncon-
sciously.
The light appeared again, dancing
athwart the inner wall of the room,
and was lost as abruptly as before. On
impulse Maitland buttoned his top
coat across his chest, turning up he
collar TO hide his linen, darted stealthily
a yard or Two to one side, and with.
one noiseless bound reached he floor
of the veranda. A breath later he
stood by the front door, where, at
