commonplace the touch falls on the
electric button, the coiled wire is
sprung, and an ordinary career rises
unexpectedly TO heroism, or falls as
unexpectedly by temptation. 1t is the
habit of years which has prepared the
one crisis or the other.
Francois Beaupre-Le Francois of
Nicques-sober, labOrious, had in him
a certain pig-headedness. and also a
vein of the gambler which had swollen
with use: yet because it had so far
brought him only good luck the
neighbors called this good judgment.
He was a dealer in working oxen; he
bought and raised and sold them, and
only his wife knew what chances he
often took in buying young beeves.
IL was a simple solid form of specula-
ton, yet il was that. 1t had given
him the custom of taking chances
and of confidence in his luck" all
OF which is perhaps no bad thing. yet
It prepared a bad thing for Francois
Beaupre Up TO this time he had
been fortunate TO a miracle and his
bargains were so lucky that he stood
highest among his neighbors for keen
ness and for caution. His house was
the largest, his table the most gener-
Gus his wife the best dressed OF the
village; he planned 10 give his chill

opportunities. Francois should go 10
the college at Delesmontes. No other
man in this place was so comfortable,
and because of his genial and simple
soul he was not envied. lie Francois
was a popular person, and il was a
pride TO the village that his name and
his prosperity were known about the
countryside.
On "A day in September he left
Nicques early in the morning To drive
70 the market in DelesmOntes a
league distant. two pairs OF oxen
which he had bought as calves for al
most nothing from poor stock out of
a farm leagues away. He had fed and
trained and cared for them till now
they were we'll set-up and powerful
and smooth working-ready TO sell
for a good price. Francois kissed his
wife and the baby. and called good-by

to the children playing in the garden,
and left the little place SO full of
hopeful life, with contentment IN his
heart. He planned as he swung
along the road whistling. what he
would do with the money which he
would bring back-eight hundred
francs, he believed 4 would be Not
a clearer head or lighter heart passed
that day along the Roman road to
Delesmontes At the market he found
that there were few oxen To be dis
posed Of. none which compared to
his, and his ideas of value went up
he would get nine hundred francs for
them, which delayed the sale. Eight
hundred he might have had easily,
but the other was a large price, even
for the best. However, Francois was
cheerful and obstinate and confident.
and such qualities accomplish things
he got his price.
But it came to be, by the time his
bargain was closed, three o'clock in
the afternoon, and he had had no
dinner. With the cattle off his hands
and the money in his pocket he felt a
sense of leisure and of wealth. Hun
CRY as a wolf he felt also, and he
turned into the inn OF Delesmontes,
where the sign of a huge bear. cut
out of tin and painted black, swung
before the door.
1t was pleasant inside in the great
clean hall of the inn, twenty feet wide
by forty long. Bars of yellow after
noon sunlight patterned the white
scrubbed floor; at the tables Of black
oak a number Of men sat on benches,
bottles and glasses before them, and
pulled at their pipes, and the clouds
of smoke rose TO the dark wood cell

ing; against the whitewaShed walls
hung engravings of battles framed in
red cherrywoOd. Doors and windows
were open. and through them one saw

room: he was a man who inspired

no one happier or more satisfied with

B. NJ. and P. Union Endorses
Disability Pension Plan

The local organization OF the Brick
layers. MasOns and Plasterers' union
has endorsed the plan Of the national
organization providing old age and
disability pensions for its members.
The plan was suggested at the last
convention OF the union and fOrmu-
lated by a committee appointed at
that convention. It has been submit
ted 10 all the subordinate unions and
the votes Of the members were re-
quired 10 be returned 10 national
headquarters at Indianapolis before
oct. 81. 1t was submitted 10 the
South Bend union last week.
Should the plan be adopted the
first pensions will be paid Aug. Is,
1914. Applications for pensions will
be received July 1, 1914. The plan
provides an assessment Of % cents per
month on each member of the union
10 maintain a fund out OF which the
pensions shall be paid.
Any member who has reached the
age Of 60 years and who has been in
continuous good standing for a period
% 20 years will be eligible TO a pen
sion providing he finds il impossible
10 secure sustaining employment. Any
member WhO has been a member Of
the union continuously for 10 years
and who is incapacitated for work by
reason Of permanent injury or ill
health not contributed to or brought
about by his own improper conduct,
will be eligible TO disability pension.
The pension in each case will be So
a week TO be paid in sums OF $40
every four weeks, or 13 times a year.
The recipient Of a pension will be re-
quired to pay into the pension fund
the sum Of 10 cents monthly.
Any beneficiary who is an inmate Of
a paid institution may have his pen
sion applied TO his support but any
beneficiary who becomes an inmate Of
an institution supported by the nation
state county or municipality is de-
barred from a pension according TO
the terms of the plan.
The pension may be continued to
the widow Of a beneficiary If she is

The assessment Of % cents per
month is based upon figures obtained
by the national organization during
the summer giving an approximate
idea OF the number Of members who
would be entitled TO old age benefits
under the plan as submitted The
organization has a total membership
of $4,000 and the pension fund will
total $240,0OO.O0 each year
The plan is modelled after the old
age and disability pension plan which

mands made upon IL.

POLICE REFUSE To
RIDE STREET CARS
Thirty Members of Indianapo-
lis Department Say They
viii Use Guns and Clubs But
They Prefer Walking.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 5.-The
abrupt refusal Of 80 members of the
police force to ride with strike break
ers caused the fourth day of the
street car strike to pass without car
service here The police turned I'm
their badges which were returned
with orders TO remain on patrol duty.
1T was announced that charges would
be preferred against all after the
strike had been settled.
In spite of the presence on the
street OF an unusually large number
of men, due To the election holiday,
little riOting was reported. The strik-
ers and strike sympathizers gathered
at large meeting on the court house
grounds and cheered several min
listers who addressed them, cOunseling
them to avoid violence. Resolutions
denouncing violence were passed by
the strikers.
The refusal OF the police to act
came when a car was manned by
trike-breakers for a trial trip. The
first three squads of ten policemen
refused TO get on the cars and the
reserve squads protested so vigorously
that il was decided To give up the trip.
The policemen said they would
