Grumbach liked the consurs smile.
More than that. he recognized instant
y that this handsome young man was
a gentleman.
He had more than an hour to idle
away, so he wandered through the
park, admiFing the freshness OF the
green. the well kept flower beds, the
crisp hedges and the clean grnveled
paths. Nothing had changed In Drei-
berg save the konigstrasse, whose cob

OF bronze changed in all these years.
IL was good TO be here in Dreiberg
again.
He had put out his first protest
against the world In the Adlergasse
forty years since. He came 10 stand
before the old tavern. Not even the
sign had been painted anew. He noted
the dingy consulate sign. then started
up the dark and narrow stairs. The
consulate door stood open. a clerk

The vintncr raised his. There was

A covert glance az bis hand satisfied
Carmichael in regard TO one thing. He
might be a vintner. but the hand was
az soft and well kept as a wOman's.

A Hulnanizing Influence.

But a few weeks ago Florence
Niehtcngalc, the Angel of the Grim
ca" passed away, and still more re-
Henri Dunant, the founder
of the International Red Cross So
ciety. In certain sense the work
Of Dunant was complementary to that
of Miss Nightingale for what she did
in the Hospltale that he made posi-
BILE on the field OF battle. Through
his efforts all civilized nations have
agreed to recognize as neutral all
sick and wounded and all engaged
in succoring them, and to seek the
"amelioration of the condition of
wounded in armies in the field
The growing humanity which this
expresses, and which is more read
lily recognized as one thinks Of the
terrible condition of sick and wound
ed soldiers, and the crude treatment
accorded them in bygone days, is
one of the most beautiful proofs Of
the luman'Zing power Of the spirit
Of Christianity. Men differ as to
theories and doctrines but with all
the practical side Of religion displays
itself in acts of mercy and in kind
ness to the sick, wounded and atllict-
ed
The readiness with which individ-
uals and nations responded to the
message of Florence Nightingale and
Henri Dunant shows that the spirit
of mercy existed and that all it need
ed was someone to give ii organic
shape and direction. Very aprro.
priately the red cross on Il white
ground was adopted by the Red Cross
Society as it's emblem in compliment
TO Dunant and his native country
'lSwi;zerland. whose national flag
bears the same emblem. only with
cOlorS reversed.

MARRIAGE would be less OF fail
1re and divorces would show very
gratifying decrease if fewer foolish
marriages were made, and if in the
associations connected with weddings
che sacredness and solemnity of the
occasion were more fully recognized.
The extremes to which guests often
resort in their hazing of tho bride
and groom and the light and thought
less way in which many people enter
upon marriage are calculated to
weaken instead Of strengthen the
marriage tie.
