the best features of her mothers
family, with a few OF her own thrown
in, and they were all Of the kind@that
no amount of work and hardship
could destroy.
However. Hctty had overlooked the
condescension and gone to Mrs. Sher-
mans with a heart full of gratitude
Just as she had gone nee before on n
tenderly remembered occasion. She
had expected to find Mrs. Sherman
alone with her servants, but at an
unexpected m her son came
walking in. Hetty had never seen
Jack sherman, though she had heard
something about him from his moth
CIR. He had been about the world Il
good deal, and just lately he had set
up a real estate business Of his own
IN the TOWN. Every night he dined
with his mother, and occasionally
spent the evening with her and Het-
ty. He was nice to Hetty in a. re-
mote, s~emi-cousinly way. bringing her
flowers and honbons. and taking her
out for spins in his smart new car.
But these attentions were no more
than he would have offered To the
Oldest and homeliest woman Who
CHANGED to be his mothers guest;
Jack Sherman was courteous. aud
kind heartedness was a habit with
him. Hetty had not in the least mis-
construed his manner toward her. He
was the first real man she had ever
k%nown-the first man who had
strength enough of mind. and body
and character to appeal to her. For
little Hetty chung to her girlish ideals

had made up her mind never to mar

and motions. to an English looking

"Frightful, but then it makes all

After breakfast she went into the
library to read. She took up q book
and sat down in the hope Of becoming
absorbed. but the print fluttered hope
lessly before her eye she could only
see: This is my last day-my last
day. Ii 1 ever see him again he will

Even the red ribbon in her hair
could not lift her heart. She felt her

One of the curious DEVELOPMENTS q

One of the curious developments Ut
modern science is the use to which
a%eroplanes We're put a few days ago.
In naval maneuvcrs a British subma-
rine was sunk and failed t rcappear,
and for days efforts had been made
in vain to find the missing boat with
her crew. Among the craft engaged
in the search were flying machines
which formed part of tho equipment.
The submarine and the aeroplane arc
both recent devices for travel. and
the calling of one into service to
search for the other makes a some
what curious connection. The sub
marine, as related in tho news dis
patches, was found. though it is not
stated that the air craft were the sue
cessful scarchcrs.

THE sANcTITY or LABOR.

Of all wastes, the greatest waste
that you can commit is the waste
OF labor. If you went down in the
morning into your dairy. and found
that your youngest Child had got
down before you: and that he and
the cat were at play together, and
that he had poured out all the
cream on the floor for the cat to
lap up, you would scold the child,
and be sorry the milk was wasted
But If, instead Of wooden bowls
with milk in them, there are
golden bowls with human life in
them. and instead of the cat to
play with-the devil to play with |;
and youethe player; and instead of
leaving that golden bowl to be
broken by God at the fountain,
you break it in the dust yourself,
and pour the human blood out on
the ground for the field to lick up
that is no waste!
what! you perhaps think to.
waste the labor of men is not to
Kill them +" Is it not? | should
like to know how you could kill
them more utterly-kill them with
second death? 1t is the slightest
way of killing to stop a man s
breath. Nay, the hunger, and the
cold, and the little whistling bull
lets-our love-messengers between
nation and natlon-have brought
pleasant messages from US to many
a man before now; orders Of sweet
release, and leave at last to 60
where he will be most welcome and
most happy At the worst you but
shorten his life, you do not corrupt
his life. But If you put him to
base labor, if you bind his
thoughts, if you blind his eyes, if
you blunt his hopes. if you steal
his joys, if you stunt his body, and
blast his soul. and at last leave him
not SO much as to reap his degrada-
tion, but gather that for yourself.
and dismiss him to the grave, when
you have done with him, having,
so far as in you lay, made the
walls of that grave everlasting,
this you think is no waste and no
sin n!-Ruskin.
