The Man Who Wins.

If a man does not love his work for
 the works sake he will never amount
 to anything He is a slave and worse
 than the OK that is driven to the blow He only finds employment because there Is demand for physical force. He always
 gives way to the man who loves his
 work when there Is slackening in the
 demand for mere brute force in doing
 the. work of the world.
 You and I know any number of young
 men who are dragging along in half
 hearted manner expending more energy
 in avoiding work than they spend in
 doing the work itself. Their only ambi-
 tion seems to be t0 draw their pay en-
 velope and give In return the least pos
 sible amount of service. 'I do enough
 for the pay I get" is sterotyped phrase
 with this class of men. It is their daily
 motto. fs.
 When promotions come to their fellow
 employees they get sore on the boss and
 really feel that they are being discrim-
 inated against. Perhaps they have been
 in the service longer and for this reason
 claim priority. I have seen new men go into business concerns and in a short time rise above every other man fO the place to the very top notch of promo tion They did not work any harder than the old men they found when they came. In fact. they did their work with more ease, though. accomplishing more dIu Wltl elliclcnCy. why IS InlSI They always tried to do more than they were paid to do. They loved their work. It is honest and honorable to do faith full service. The man who labors be- yond the requirements of his employer is no slave. His fellows may deride him and call him fool, but his reward comes in sure promotion.
 His employers know what he is doing and will show their appreciation Some times 1t is late in coming, but 1t is sure to come. The man who is truly faithful is never a failure. He may fall but there Is a chance for him to rise where there is none for the man who despises labor and loyalty to his em- ployer.
 1t hurts no man to do more than is required of him.

At this juncture Dicky created diver
sion; Daniel, fearing discovery, seized this
opportunity to slip away. Then, seated in
the gangway and plunged III deep thought,
the lad gazed with unseeing eyes down
into the green water, where he hoped to
find the miracle. During all the days of
his life Daniel had done his poor best for
any friend he had happened to possess.
When sacrifices had been needed Daniel
had made them gladly. When helping
hand was required, Daniels big, loosely
constructed palm was promptly extended.
When aid was wanted, Daniels shoulder
had gone willingly to the wheel. Was it
possible, he wondered, that there was any
lovers to the extra week that both so evil
IDENTIFY desired? Daniel thought that there
might be il he could only find it; but his
was a slow-moving mind. and the problem
was not an easy one to solve. Yet at last,
after hours of serious thought, Daniel saw
light. 1t was then 5 o'clock.
Think you folks'll be needn' the boat

Aren't you going to meet Mr.. Gaylord?''
returned Rhea. whose lovely countenance
wore q troubled expression quite foreign

'Sure." replied Daniel. but if there 8

eyes on Rhea's.
At half-past Q Rhea still sat with Philip
on the star-lit deck. Indefatigable Regina,

Dicky, still unbroken out. had retired.
Through the silence came the sound of

asserted Rhea. HE thinks you're the
most wonderful thing that ever hap
pened."
An hour later Rhea descended to the tiny
room she shared with Dicky. Regina like
wise sought the lower regions. Marston
smoked for another half hour and then
retired to his comfortable quarters in the
upper cabin.
Just at midnight, when all the other in
mates Of the Den were eiumbering sound

his swimming tights, crept aft to where
the boat was tethered. Silently he boarded
her. softly he padded away into the

quaking with dread, crossed the island to
the point nearest the Den.
Shuddering, Daniel who was anything

the distance would have seemed a mere
trifie; but to Daniel who instinctively
hated and feared all cold. deep waters,
and whose natatoral accomplishments
were rudimentary to the last degree. the
breach between the island and the Den
seemed ocean-Wide. But Daniel was of
the stuff from which martyrs are made.

Then there was a sudden determined
splash, and the rock on which Daniel had
wavered was vacant; while Daniel, bat

black, suffocating water.
How he finally managed to reach the

Was cIeopatra Reautiful7

Archaeologists have discovered on
coins portraits Of Cleopatra. and critics
have confronted these portraits with
the poetic descriptions of Cleopatra
given by Roman historians and have
found that in these descriptions there
was at least much fancy. In the por-
traits we do not see the countenance
OF a Venus, delicate. gracious. smiling,
nor even the fine and sensuous beauty
Of Marquise de Pompadour, but a
face fieshy and, as the French would
say, "bouffie," with powerful aquiline
nose-the face of a woman on In years,
ambitious, imperious. which recalls the
face Of Maria Theresa. 1t will be said
that judgments on beauty are person
al; that Antony, who saw her alive,
could judge better than we who see
her portraits half faded out by the
centuries; that the attractive power Of
a woman emanates not only from cor
poreal beauty, but also. and vet more.
from her spirit. The taste of Cleopa-
ira. her vivacity, her cleverness. her
exquisite art in conversation. are ac-
claimed by all.-Guglielmo Ferrero in
