Clara would not have her family spoken

had been educated carefully In the Murray
Linklater cult, and no We're de We're could be
prouder of her name.
Clara, In her bolted bedroom, was getting
out her blotting book and pad to write to her
poor wronged aunt. She was going to ask a
refuge for the few remaining days of a blasted
life. Yes, that was the adjective she was using,
and (strange coincidence!) the villain below
stairs was also using 1t, though perhaps in a
more colloquial sense. He had just knocked
over a whole pile of the neat notebooks In
which he stored away his literary material, and
was passing off his own clumsiness in invec-
tive against inanimate things. This was his

But the strong arm of coincidence reached

Stumbling and grumbling, Harry gathered

But this particular stubby volume happened

MAN WHO HELPS HIS BROTHER
His "6oys" Call Him the General Ad-
Wiser Without Pay"-He Is
Partial to None.

When a man loves to live he usual
iy can go among men who care little
whether they live or not and do good.
Such a man is Augustus e. Vaughan,
immaculate Of dress and of heart ven
cradle In years and usefulness, whom
n may see almost any day either on
Boston Common or at the Young
Mems Christian Union.
His speciality is helping his fallen
and discouraged brother, whether he
be a cigarette smoking boy or a rum
sodden and disheartened derelict Of a
man. His creed is ch~eerfulness and
his passion Is books.
Often one may e him, tall and
straight, faultlessly attired in a frock
coat, with his flowing white beard and
his long and carefully trimmed white
locks, standing with or sitting beside
some ragged and unkempt victim of
circumstances who has sought the only
place where the police will not tell
him to move on, the Common, and
then one is sure to be struck by the
contrast. Many q man he has met
there has later become as clean Of
body and heart as himself, and all
through his infectious good nature and
b~rotherly comraderie.
Among the younger men with whom
this old young mar of rs increasingly
labors he Is known as 'the general
adviser without pay" and he. is as In
terested in their ambitions as they
can be, and so youthful is he in their
presence that he is always one of
them.
Mr., Vaughan is not engaged in &C
tive business this summer, but he
comes to Boston every day, rain or
shine, to talk with his "boys," as he
calls them. Some of these have neve
before known a real friend. He Is
highly educated, and counts among his
friends many college presidents and
professors.
He was born in Middleboro, nearly
seventy-fve years ago, and traces his
lineage back to Peregrine White of
May1ower fame.

But even Watkins the wise did not know
