poor devil, broken down Russian
running away from Siberia, where
he'd been for nine years.
Ethel half rose in her chair and
faced him eagerly.

Ethel waved him aside and turned,
with withering look on Pike.
Il knew you had some further hu-
initiation in store for me. Do you
think would believe that an English
nobleman would stoop''-
Pike interrupted her ruthlessly and
bitterly.
"Stoop?' he cried. why. ten years
ago in st. Petersburg there was a poor
devil of revolutionist who in his
crazy patriotism took government mon

made the mistake of keeping that

There was bustling without and
some loud talking, and Pike smiled

thrown open, and Lady Creech hur-

", and the American met his smile
evenly.
Il reckon you're right SO far" he
said.
"And your answer will be yes?''
asked the earl, but Pike shook his
head.

and Hawcastle changed front in an
instant.
Perhaps you are right, Mr. Gran

be painful things done. Better your
sister were spared them. Take her

Pike snapped at them all and moved
to the door, where he faced them.
Miss Ethel, you'n stay right where

no attention, Pike turned to Hawcas-
tie.
You're here for an answer, you

to him
"An answer to what?'' he demanded,
looking the other in the eye.
IAN answer to our request that you

Little Willie on the Fourth.

He was all here in the morning
When forth from his home he set out,
Safeguarded by many a warning
Which he is forgetting, no doubt.
His state Of completeness was pleasant
When for fireworks he started to roam.
This is the question at present:
How much of him's coming back home7
VIII there be fingers found missing?
VIII he have all of his toes7
His mouth is it still straight for kissing
Has he altered the shape OF his nose?
,Tis a moment for waiting and guessing.
Are we victors or are we bereft?
This is the question that's pressing:
How much Of dear Willie Is left?
Gloucester County Democrat., 1909-07-01

God, I've got it for you." He stepped
to the door of the inner chamber and
threw it open.
.sIvanoffr' he called. and the Russian
came into the room. At the sight of
him Hawcastle fell back against the
mantel, and the countess collapsed in
heap on the floor. Ivanoff saw none
but her and, striding to her, lift
ed both clinched hands above her
mead.
'Tvan-oh, mother of God!LIvan!
Don't kill mer' she gasped
For moment he stood over her,
then collapsed into chair, where he
wilted, sobbing violently.

THE TEACHER KNOWS.
By EDWIN A. NYB.

What Is religiOn-real religiOnI
Here is picture Of Il:
de was the worst boy 10 school: she
was the teacher She was angered by
his stubbOrnness; he was defiant. She
took him to the hall for punishment.
Angrlly she administered the penalty.
and
Then somehow a great wave OF pity
for the boy swept over her.
She looked at the worn coat Of the
little felhlw: she thought Of the frail
body deprived Of nourishing food: she
thought Of the hard and loveless home
and Of the starved soul Of the poor kid.
Tears sprang to the teachers eyes as
the boy waited for further punishment.
Then he saw the tears. His own eyes
grew moist and over1Owed.
Thinking Of how the poor child had
no chance. in an impulse Of love she
put her arms around the boy, and thei
cried together.
That's religion.
She and the boy both found it.
The theologians who write creeds
will make you big definitions about IT,.
because they are trying TO be logical
about a matter purely Of the heart.

ity, who try to reduce religion to a

And 1t is frequently necessary that
the Teacher should take us out into
the hall for correction. And the more
punishment we get the more defiant
we become. which is quite natural.
We cannot see that the Teachers
eyes are full of tears.
We cannot see that II hurts the
Teacher more than US: that he is in
dnitely sorry for our poor orphanage.
our fraiI 6esh and our starved hearts.
But when we do see!
Then we are no longer defaut. II
the Teacher really cares. why. we care.
And then the arms OF great love are
about us.
That is all there is to It. II is not a
thing Of formulas or rituals.
Religion is the unseen mystery that
changes up from bad pupils to good
ones.
To be sure. the lessons are hard some
times. We can scarce see the lines In
the book because Of our tears.
But
