less to spare her the greater pain OF
knowing you as you are. But now you
bring her here in her innocence to re-
peat to me your lies. You're degrad l.
ing her. dragging her down to your
own level, just as you did her mother
before her. If she lets you go on using
her it will be with her eyes open."
Judith raised her head amazedly.
What are you saying?" she asked.
Brand turned to her and then to the
Judge.
why, he's lied to you just as he's
lied all mis- life. He told you he was
trying to shield others. He lied. He
never shielded any one but himself.
Judge Bartelmy, the power Of men
like you must be destroyed. When
Justice is corrupted the nation rots. II
I keep silent about you and your meth
ods l become your accomplice; l be-
tray my trust just as you have betray-
ed yours
Bartelmy raised his nand deprecat-
ingly. Brand, however, drew deep
breath and went resolutely on. He
spoke to both the girl and the judge.
Judith, IL at the cost Of my life ]

it gladly. But even that would do no
good. You would always despise me
for falling when my test came and al
ways despise yourself for having caus-
ed me to fail Can't you see you and l
are nothing in all this? The individual
does not exist, only the cause Judge
Bartelmy, that story goes to press" he
cried, raising his eyes to meet those OF
Judith's father.
Bartelmy saw that he had played
his last card 1t was his highest
trump. but it had failed to win. What
Judith could not do he surely, under
the existing circumstances, could not
do. Nolan, the only man who could
save him If he would. had gone, he
knew not where.
And it was now press time. All was
over Bartelmy took single step TO-
ward his daughter.
Brand, that story is my obituary,
he said in low tones.
"Oh, no." was the response In sad
dened voice Men like you don't fin
ish that way. You'll have about SIX
hours, Judge, before that story is read
by the public"
Judith. too, was ready to admit that
her last and eliminating effort had
been in vain. Wearied and unstrung
she raised herself from the fatal form
that was to besmirch tine name and
the father that had been her source OF
pride She crossed over toward hel

WORD BLINDNESS.
A Curious Occasional Broken Func-
tion of the Mind.

la Curious Occasional Broken Funo-
tion Of the Mind.
1t is scarcely open to question that
all education should be individual, but
unfortunately this requirement can
not be met in our crowded schools.
The state Is compelled to require a
definite amount of knowledge from
all engaged in the same course. The
difficulties to which this may give rise
are illustrated by the following stories
of pupils who despite earnest endeav-
or could never learn to write correct
y, or to read fiuently, or to pass the
examinations provided for the lowest
classes, although some Of them are
able to accomplish important scientific
work. A perfectly healthy fifteen
year-old girl, one Of the best pupils OF
the highest class Of German school,
could not spell correctly either German
Or foreign words, either from dicta-
ton or from memory. She could write
single characters perfectly; she could
also read a single series Of musical
notes and play the violin by note, but
she could not read piano music. The
difficulty was that she was unable to
impress the picture Of the word on
her memory. BY the employment OF
great number Of aids to memory
she succeeded in making much pro-
gress, but she continued to make the
most incredible errors In writing
which sharply contrasted with the
general excellence Of her work at
school. She could not read fiuently
because the image Of the word was
not present to her memory.
The girls grandmother, a highly
educated woman, her sreat-uncle and
a son of the latter exhibited the same
defects Each Of the men wrote
number of scientific works, but the
spelling had to be corrected by others
In this case, therefore. this same
defect, which the English call word
blindness" appeared in four members
of one family. AS we know that the
brain contains a special centre for the
memory of words We must conclude
that the entire absence Of this elemen-
tary faculty in persons otherwise OF
good mental equipment must be caus-
ed by a defect in this small part OIL
the brain. AS such persons cannot
satisfy the requirements exacted In
the lowest classes they are in danger
of never reaching the higher ones. In
London one case Of word blindness
was found among each 1000 school
children. With proper appreciation
of the conditions 1t should be posi-
BILE to carry on the education of such
a child II otherwise intelligent. This
however, cannot be accomplished by
the parents or by benevolent societies

FrankIin,s Motion For Prayers.

I have lived for long time (eighty-
one years., and the longer live the
more convincing proofs I see In this
truth, that God governs In the affairs
of man. And II a sparrow can not tall
to the ground without his notice, is 1t
probable that an empire can rise with
out his aid? We have been assured In
the sacred writings, that, Except the
Lord build the house, they labor In
vain that build It." I firmly believe
this; and I also believe that without
his concurring aid we shall proceed
in this political building no better than
the builders Of Babel; we shall be d.
vided by our little, partial, local In
terests; our prospects will be con-
founded; and we ourselves shall be-
come a reproach and by-word TO fu-
ture ages. And what is worse, man
kind may hereafter, from this unfor-
tunate instance despair Of establishing
government by human wisdom, ana
leave 1t to chance, war, or conquest.
I therefore beg leave to move that
henceforth prayers, imploring the as
sistance of heaven and its blessing on
our deliberations, be held In this as
sembly every morning before we pro-
ceed to business.-Ben Franklin. In
Convention, 1888.

TOWER OF BABEL.
Traditions as to the Height OF the
Famous Structure

Traditions as to the Height Of the
Famous Structure.
The actual height at which the last
stone of that famous structure, the
tower Of Babel, rested, cannot, on ac-
count of the remoteness Of the times
at which it Is said to have existed,
ever become more than a matter OF
merest conjecture. Herodotus, who
lived about LOO years after that
great spiral way to heaven" Is said
to have been attempted, says that he
saw at Babylon a structure consisting
of eight towers raised one above an
other, each seventy-five feet In height,
but whether this ruin was the remains
of the tower of Babel 1t was even then
impossible to ascertain. Herodotus,
usually minutely exact in his writings,
leaves US in ignorance as to how the
upper level Of each Of these seventy
five foot towers was reached from the
level below.
AS might be expected, even In ira
dition, a wide difference Of opinion ex-
lists as to the height Of the tower. Most
orientalists maintain that God did not
put stop to the work until the tower
had reached a height Of 10000 faith
oms, or about twelve miles. In Cey-
lonese tradition, 1t is said to have been
as high as 10000 elephants, each
standing one above the other. st. Je-
rome asserts on the authority Of per-
sons who mad examined the ruins tina,
It did not reach a height exceeding
four miles. Other statements are still
more xtravagant.-London Saturday
Review.

THE GUARD WAS ANGRY.

But the Pretty Girl Didn't Need His
Protection.
Passengers on a subway car bound
from Brooklyn to New York on Sun
day afternoon had an experience that
caused frowns and then a laugh.
The car was crowded, but all the
women had seats On the platform
was a middle aged man, apparently
respectable. On a side seat was
girl in old rose, with cheeks to match
The man on the platform caught
her eye for a moment and threw a
frantic kiss. The girl first smiled
then blushed furiously.
He threw another, and she turned
away a crimsoned face.
THAT will about do for you," said
the big, rawboned guard. go
home to your wife,"
This didn't seem to worry the ap-
parently respectable man, and. catch
ing a CLINT from the girls eyes, he
threw another kiss She turned her
face to study carefully, a pretty hat
across the car.
At the Manhattan end of the bridge
the girl rose to leave the car. The
man who was trying to flirt with her
also faced the sliding door. BY that
time all eyes were on the pair, the
guard was mad all through. and
couple of passengers edged danger
ously close.
The girl in old rose took the arm
of the apparently respectable man
and said in a silvery voice that all
could hear:
"Oh, papa, how could you?
Then everybody laughed at a 1ok-
ing father and a lovely daughter

The great ship heaved and lunged
through the giant seas that swept over
her bows, out Of the freezing night out
Of the cold northeast. The captain and
the first officer, lashed to opposite
ends of the lofty bridge, choked in the
flying spume Of wind riven midocean.
Somewhere deep toned bell told of
the hour in the sailors accustomed
fashion. From somewhere out Of the
depths of the vast groaning fabric
tumbled the men of the watch who
were now to go on duty to relieve
their storm beaten fellows.
And somewhere down in the shiver-
ing, rearing hull gaunt faced, hollow
eyed man lay on the saffron hued vel
vet cushions Of @ narrow couch at the
side Of luxurious stateroom. He was
fully dressed in spite Of the lateness Of
the hour and of the fact that he was
sleeping-just as he had been the night
before. He tossed uneasily. Some
times he thrust mis- hand out convul-
sively as though to ward off threat
ening danger He began to talk inco-
herently. The ship rolled. and tray
containing dishes and an evening meal
that had gone untouched crashed to
the floor. 1.-The press-the printing
press-has started" he muttered dis
jointedly as the sound of tine breaking
dishes penetrated into hi, wearied
brain. His hand instinctively crept
under one Of the cushions. 1t grasped
and for moment fumbled with blue
steel object, which 1t drew weakly
forth-a revolver. The shock OF the
cold steel reused the sleeper. He
opened his eyes and sazed fascinatedly
at the instrument Of death. With a
cry Of terror he relaxed mis- fingers,
and the object dropped to the floor.
He groaned the groan Of a lost soul In
the anguish Of its never ceasing tor
ture. He turned his face to the wall
and tried in vain to close his eyes in
sleep.
Judgment had been pronounced In
the case Of JUDGE BARTELMY

eyes would let ner. He returned her
gaze unfiinchingly.
Judge Bartelmy saw the girls strug-
gle to decide between the father who
had dishonored her name and the low
er, who meant life Of happiness, pur-
ity, success and inspiration. He was
wise enough in the ways Of the world
to know that again was Brand to prove
a victor over him.
The girl stood immovable a moment.
Then she extended her arm toward
her lover. Judith Bartelmy had made
her choice.
The judges features showed but lit
tie of the storm into which his emo
tions had been plunged. His years of
practiced self-control had come to his
aid and enabled MIN to face the ruin
of his career and his life and his name
without the frenzied demonstration In

which most men in his position would
have INDUCED. To the last he was the
cool, polished suave hypocrite that ne
had been in the beginning, when those
who sought to loot the public for pri-
vate gain found him a willing tool.
He is right" Bartelmy said to Ju-
dith He has told you the truth to-
night-the absolute truth" He looked
at his watch. six hours, did you say,
Mr.. Brandt" he asked.
Brand had gathered Judith in his
arms. She sighed contentedly as she
laid her head upon his shoulder.
Yes" he answered the judge.
Judge Bartelmy stood watching the
united couple for a moment before he
turned and walked away, muttering
as he went: "Six hours. One may
travel far in these days in that time"

my love for all the rest of life! Wheel
er, say you will do what I ask" She
broke down completely and sobbed
brokenly, leaning across the form.
"Oh. say you will do what l ask"
Brand tried to raise her, but she
clung to him frenZiedly.
Judith, for Gods sake, DON'T" ne
said.
Yes, yes: you must, you SHALL" she
was losing all control of herself in her
desperation.
Judith, listen to me-" he said in
spiredly. "Tm not the man who loves
you or is loved by you. I've no right
to think of you or of myself I'm an
instrument to an end in the history of

raised his brows questioningly to the
judge.
Mr.. Brand, has Mr.. Nolan been
here tonight" asked Bartelmy.
Yes"
Have you received instructions
about this story?"
Yes"
What were those instructions? is
the story to be printed
"I am not at liberty to discuss with
any outside person the communications
I receive from the owner, but l will
add for your information that the story
will be on the press in very few min

At this latest declaration of Brands
Judith could restrain herself no longer.
She rushed through the doorway
across the grmy flor, regardless OF the
flowing train of her silk gown.

CHAPTER XIV.

Brand and McHenry began eagerly
10 inspect the final proofs Of the Bar
telmy story. Two figures suddenly
stood in the doorway of the composing
room Ed Dupuy's telephone call was
beginning to show results. Judge Bar
telmy and Judith, ready for last ef-
fort to prevent the publication Of the
condemnatory article, quite unobserved,
glanced to where Brand and his asso-
ciate editor were at work. Don't
come in yet. Wait few moments"
whispered the Judge. The girl slipped
down the hall into the managing edi-
tors little Office, the coign Of vantage
from which she had previously been
able to hear all that took place in the
composing room. Bartelmy proceeded
directly to the form before which the
two editors were working, and Brand
saw that he must undergo another un-
pleasant encounter before the presses
began to whirl off his story. He
glanced impatiently at the clock and
