their little boy were deprived OF many
of the comforts of life that the bulk
of his earnings might 90 to his credl'
tors. The house in which they lived
was a roomy old mansion on the out
skirts of the city, left to Philip by a
maiden aunt, who had passed away
since the death of his father, and
which Lucille had persuaded him not
to sell. This house, by the way, mad
originally belonged to an eccentric OLD
sea captain, jeremiah Suggs by name
who was reputed to be something OF
a miser, and who lived and died a re-
cluse.
The GROWING calamity came to
Philip Draper when the debt was all
but cleared of. It was then he was
overtaken by a wasting illness, which
kept him confined to his bed for al
most q year, and leaving him desti'
tute. The butcher and the baker
threatened to deny him further
credit. and his home was heavily
mortgaEed. The outlook was gloomy.

and, as he opened the chubby fingers,
revealed twenty-dollar gold piece ly-
ing on his upturned palm.
Money!" gasped Philip. He snatch
ed the coin and examined it critically.
where did you get this? What
does it mean?"
II found it in the attic!" explained
Bobby. There are lots more there
Como on, I'll show you where"
The next moment the father and
mother, each grasping hand of the
frightened youngster, were Fastening
up the stairs. When they reached the
attic the whole astounding truth was
laid bare to them. Bobby had been
rummaging, as usual. Finding loose
brick in the crumbling masonry Of the
big chimney, he had pulled 1t out and
made a startling discovery.
IT wanted to find out how Santa
Claus comes down the chimney" said
the boy, regretfully. II didn't mean
to do any harm"
An exclamation from his father in
terrupted him. Philip, tearing away
the bricks to enlarge the opening, had
thrust his arm into the cavity and
drawn forth two small boxes, accom-
panied by shower of yellow coins.
Among them was scrap Of paper on
which was written:
II have no heirs, no kith nor kin.

may he enjoy It, 1t consists of $780,
900 in gold and government bonds,
and twice that amount in gems.

Bobby was the hero Of the hour,
and the rejoicing that followed may
better be imagined than described.

Because you vowed you wouldn't

ed mischievously.

and unforgiving as to ignore your dear

the books with me to read something

his pocket he produced little copy
of Romeo and Juliet"

then it flashed over her what it all
meant. Brown & Co. had forgotten to
cancel her order and Billy had. re-
ceived the books. Billy had construed
her sending them into humble plea
for forgiveness.
He most probably wouldn't have
come at all if it hadn't been for that.
She stiffened visibly and all her love
was swallowed up in wave Of rebel
lious pride.

Never mind, dear; let us hold fast

trying to speak cheerfully, though
there was an ominous quaver In her
voice.
What hurts me most is the
thought that Christmas Is so close

a series of calamities befell him. Soon
after Philips marriage to pretty Lu-
ellie Girard, his father failed in ousl-
ness and died within a month there
after, leaving nothing but mass OF
debts as a legacy to his son.
Philip, who had just been taken into
partnership with his father, and whose
outlook on the future was tinged with
the color of the rose, was crushed by
this blow; but with quixotic sense
of duty he set himself the tremendous
task of paying of the debts OF the
firm, To accomplish this he had moth
ing to depend upon but the sale OF MS
pictures; yet, year in and year out
he toiled on stubbornly and uncom-
plainingly, while he and Lucille ana

FLORIDA GROWERS
IN DISPUTE, APPEAL
TO CHIEF CHEMIST
One Association Asks Him
Not To Pay Any Atten-
ton To Its Rivals.

Somewhat to the perplexity Of DR..
Wiley, Florida citrus fruit exchanges
have begun to call each other names.
and the chief of the Bureau of Chem
istry received a telegram today ask
Ing that he pay no attention to the
protest of a rival Florida association
which had warned the Department
that unripe fruit is being shipped
north.
Protesting association No. alleges
that it represents so per cent of the
Florida fruit growers and that the
rival association represents only 20
per cent. 1t is all right, says the tel
egram received today. If unripe fruit
is being shipped, for. although the
rtnd may appear green. the interior is
flt to eat
The telegram received today from
the Florida Citrus and Vegetable
Growers Association follows:
referring to the lettergram sent
you by the Florida Citrus Exchange
with reference to early Florida or
anges, this action was taken by the
Florida Citrus Exchange to promote
and advertise the exchange, which
marketed last season only 20 per cent
of the Florida citrus crop.
Producers not in the exchange and
controlling over so per cent of the crop,
were not consulted and do not approve
of that telegram. The shipment Of i'm
mature citrus fruit Is not countenanced
by the Florida citrus growers as a class
and the exchanges Telegram is calcu-
lated to create prejudice In the mind
OF the consumer and State and national
officers against the early Florida
oranges.
Early varieties of Florida oranges
mature before the rind colors. which
fact you recognize. Such varieties are
now mature and suitable for consump-
ton even though green externally.

DR.. Wiley said green fruit shipped
as such and not treated, does not fall
under the jurisdiction of the Federal
department.

Brutal mistreatment at the hands of

police of Alexandria are making a
thorough investigation of the circum-
stances surrounding the assault of
which the woman declares she was a
victim Tuesday night, after being drag
ged from her home at Franklin and
Washington streets in Alexandria. At
ter she was beaten and assaulted she
declares she was abandoned in a field
near Royal street.
Because of the reticence % the police
on the matter, the fact that the woman

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. BRIDGET OF SWEDEN.

Bridget was born of the Swedish
royal family, A. D. 1904. At ten years
of age she was most tenderly affected
by sermon on the Passion, and the
following night saw our Lord, in a
vision, covered with blood, which a
voice told her was caused by the in
sensibility of men to His love. From
this time the image of Christ cruel
fed was ever present to her soul; and,
while working with her needle, she
would shed many tears at the sight
of His still bleeding wounds. From
her childhood, st. Bridget's devotion
to the Passion made her more and
more anxious to purify her soul; she
confessed very frequently, and after
her husbands death once, at least,
each day. Profoundly conscious of
her own sinfulness, she wept for her
least faults with more bitter tears
than others shed over enormous
crimes God gave her so special a
horror of sin, that one careless word
of hers instantly produced an acrid
taste in the mouth, while the bad Ian
guage of others was as sulphur in her
nostrils In obedience to her father,
she was married to Prince Ulpho of
Sweden, and became the mother of
eight children, one of whom, Cath
crime, is honored as a Saint. After
some years she and her husband sep
arated by mutual consent. He en-
tered the Cistercian Order, and Bird
get founded the Order of st. Saviour,
in the abbey of Wastein in Sweden.
In 1874 she became a widow, and
thenceforth received a series of the
most sublime revelations, all of which
she scrupulously submitted to the
judgment of her confessor. These
resolutions were examined and ap.
proved by the Council of Basic. By
the command of our Lord Bridget
went on a pilgrimage to the Holy
Land, and amidst the very scenes OF
the Passion was further instructed in
the sacred mysteries. Whilst enjoy
ing the highest graces Bridget was
ever most humble, gentle, and charit
able, and the Bull of her canonization
declares that she would not lift he1
eyes without the leave of her confes
sor. She died A. D. 1873.

THE NAME OF MARY.

No name like the name of Mary, IL
we except the name of Jesus, has
gained such an entrance into, and
such control over our hearts, while,
at the same time it fills our souls
with the sweetest consultations, with
love towards God and strength against
our enemies, the evil spirits. The
name of Jesus, indeed, stands first,
with an unlimited control over our
whole being, but. next, Immediately
next to Him is the name of the Virgin
engraved with love into our souls
The name of Jesus" says ST. Ber-
nard, is honey in the mouth, melody
in the ear, and in the heart jubilee"
And again: Nothing more sweet is
sung, nothing more pleasing heard,
nothing more lovely is thought, than
Jesus the Son of God" And, truly,
st. Bernard must know, for his heart
lived and pulsed only for Jesus and
His glory; he was united to our Lord
by closest bonds of love- He extols, 1t
