BUYS HER A BOX OF CANDY.

Government Make. Good for Choco-
1ates Lost In Custom Houne.
By sending to a woman who lives in
West Fifteenth street a large box of
chocolate bonbons to take the place of
candy she had lost when 1t was passing
through the custom house on It's way
to her from Germany, Uncle Sam re-
liertd himself Of the suspicion of petty
thieyery, the New York Press says. The
woman did not demand restitution.
When she discovered that half the
candy which her friends In Germany
had sent her In a huge Christmas egg
had disappeared in transit she solemn
" sat down and wrote a letter to Col
lector of tue Port Fowler.
your men have eaten of the candy
which was made abroad specially fol
me-" she said '-The occurrence must
not happen again"
Her complaint was so straightfor-
ward that it impressed the collector.
Usually peremptory demand is made for
restitution when. small loss is expert
enced on imported goods. There was
nothing Of that kind In the woman's
letter. She simply desired that the col
lector should know that her candy had
been eaten and that 1t should not occur
again.
'gThat letter sounds straight" the col
lector said. 81 am unwilling that
lady who has paid duty on candy sent
from abroad should be deprived Of any
of It."
He summoned the men who had han
died the candy package, which was val
ued at $40. There was no chocolate In
the corners of any of their mouths. The
collector exonerated them all. Finally
some one suggested that. rather than
be regarded as petty thieves, the men
who handled the package make up
fund and buy a box Of candy to re
place that which had disappeared. They
did 1t, and the collector sent 1t to the
woman with the compliments and best
wishes of the men.

little sigh as she trod on the threshold.
What green little bower it looked, and,

and pressing their pink faces against the

glorious Gloire de Dion, with a back

She stood for a moment looking out

of the lovely river. Something in the
Sabbathlike stiffness, in the beauty Of
the scene, in the peaceful satisfaction OF
her heart, moved Alison to kneel down
among the roses, and breathe a brief
thanksgiving for the duties she had been
strengthened to perform, for the fatherly
goodness that brought her back TO the
home of her adoption, and for the human
love that was but a dim reflection Of the
Divine.
She did not hurry to 90 down. though

"She didn't stop at that. She wasn't

our practice of talking about each other
in a belittling way was one that hurt
ourselves as well as the persons we
talked about. We were giving ourselves
lessons in insincerity and uncharitable-
ness, she said People who overheard

CHAPTER XXIv.


There was a merry breakfast on the
yeranda next morning, and Alison, In hei
white dress, with some dewy roses as a
breast knot, looked the picture of hap
piness as she poured out the coffee.
Directly it was over, Greville took her
and Roger to see his grandfather.
Mr.. Moore was eagerly expecting them
even before Alison's foot had passed over
the threshold his sightless eyes were turn
ed to the window, and his welcome,
Sunny" reached her ears.
In another moment Alison was occu-
pying her old footstool at his feet, and
his fine wrinkIed hand, little more trem-
bling than of old, was placed on her hair,
with half audible blessing.
Dear Mr.. Moore, am so glad to see
you again"
Have you missed us, little one? Not
half as much as we have missed Sunny.
And as she pressed her lips to his hand
In mute contradiction Of this, he said, half

'but they never told me that you were

"Ah, Miss Darlington is wise WON
an; she thinks it wrong TO burden young
spirits with sorrows that do not belong
to them. My boy there nearly broke his
heart about the old man can you believe

"You are like his own father she re-
turned. softly. 'He is outside on the
yeranda with Roger. Are you well
enough to speak to RogerF
"Ay, ready and willing; he has grown
a fine lad, l hear" And as Alison beck
oned to them the two young men came In
through the window, and Roger sat down
by the old mans side.

THE GOLD INDUSTRY.
An Illustration which Gives Some
Idea of Its Immensify I'm America.

An Illustration Which Gives Some
Idea of Its Immensffy in America.
An eagle, a $40 gold piece, is just
about one inch In diameter. Imagine a
gllttering yellow ribbon of 10 gold
pieces, lying edge to edge, beginning at
San Francisco and extending eastward
through the Sacramento Valley Of Cali
fornia, across the lofty Sierra Nevada
mountains, spanning the Great Ameri-
can Desert in Nevada and Utah, over
the prairies Of Wyoming and Nebraska,
across the green fields of Iowa and ILL.,
nois, over Indiana and Ohio and Massa-
chusetts, half way TO the British Isles
Imagine this continuous string Of golden
eagles edge to edge, without break or
interruption, over this vast stretch of
land and sea-a distance which con.
sumes at least eight days In the swift
est express train and ocean steamers
and you will be able to form some con-
eeption Of the amount of gold that has
been produced In the United Slater.
1t requires some such illustration as
this to grasp the immensely OF the gold
industry, to form some DEFINITE Idea OF
the Importance and magnitude Of the
gold production of the North American
continent.
The profits from the gold industry
are magnificent. They are greater than
In any other department of commercial
activity. The figures OF the worlds
production are enormous In 1907 the
output Of the gold mines Of the earth
amounted TO nearly S5OO.000.OO0. OF this
vast sum about half, or more than
S2O0.000.o00 was net profit. No other
industry can make such showing az
this This gold was found In America,
In Mexico, IN South Africa, in Australia
and elsewhere.
This huge sum of profits. more than
5000, 100000. was distributed to scores
Of thousands Of people.

versities and colleges at which very
large percentage Of the students were

liable in most colleges to temporary
suspension and occasionally to complete
abrogation." There is no standard
worthy of the name, but merely pre-
tense at standard. The requirements
look big In the catalogue, but the dis
erection that Is used takes all the fervor
out of them and reduces them to an
absurdity. There Is no real co-opera-
ton between the secondary school and
the college, but an excellent opportu-
nifty is offered for passing along the
unfit. If numbers alone Is the object
Mr.. Bowman is right in saying that
the college has embarked upon a dan
gerous course which threatens its sin
certify and Its efficiency" On the other
hand, If the printed requirements are
unreasonable, at is time not to make
exceptions that confuse all standards
and demoralize students, but seriously
to face the problem of organizing pre-
paratory education on a basis that is
really vital and Indispensable, and of

In the advertising columns Of the
newspapers are found the business
cards of countless seers and clairvoy-
ants. who promise for small sum to
rend the veil of the future and tell
their patrons what is going to happen
to them. That palmists, card readers
and clairvoyants are able to pay for
the advertisements which appear in the
same place day after day Is evidence
that they find enough credulous persons
TO keep the prediction business on a
paving basis. Their victims are beyond
reason. or they would reflect that the
forecaster of future events, such as
the condition of the stock market six
months ahead. would make more
money by using his knowledge for his
own benefit than by selling 1t for two
dollars. Besides the prophets who are
