on a level with the eggs it was fast

Being so near the pipes, the heat

properly cared for and they became
very lousy. They had been Matched
with hens, but were placed In small

where not spear of grass could grow.
In spite of the fact that there was no
lack OF grass on the place, and also
plenty OF shade, not bit of either was
provided for the chicks.
They would probably all have died
sooner or later, anyway, but as stated

HIS feet gave way, he was conscious
Of a heavy fall, and then lost sensi-
bility.
he must nave soon aroused, but in a
dazed condition. 1t was at new spot
to which he had wandered, that he
came to himself. His arm hung help

about the basket, he was seated on a
street curb and village watchman
was shaking him.

ter individual. You'll freeze to death

weakly. II was bound for the Ward

coined with concerned faces by the
family ten minutes later.

So John Lane settled down into the
fair groove In which circumstances had
placed him. Muriel. his solicitous
nurse. fitting about him with her
sweet womanly ways, and deeper and

TWO LOYAL LOVERS

1t was festal eve everywhere. The
ground was covered with snow and the
thick flakes still falling. A biting wind
blew John Lane before it, but his
heart was warm and he smiled as he
buneted the tempest, bearing a goodly
stored market basket.
Still bachelor at 2S, John Lane was
pursuing a brief journey that had a
rare tinge Of romance to it. He had
come to Brookville, a near suburban
town, upon the invitation of some old
friends the, Ward family. John had

of "spinsters."

wise thing" mused John, as he strobe
along. It's opening up the lost past

to put enough aside to offer Muriel the
home she should have. All. mel" he
sighed resignedly, "the little savings
| put by are small, indeed. Now they
nave asked me to spend a holiday
with them. l shall see Muriel. Her
sunny face will make life the sweeter
but when l go back to my humdrum
work again the regret will be the
keener.'
John had brought genuine holiday
Offering with him-a noble turkey. a
parcel OF toothsome fruit, several
boxes of bonbons, some toys for the
children. 1t cheered his sterling soul
to be thus generous, even amid his
necessities. He knew the old Ward
home at Brookville, but they had
moved, and he was trying to locate
them from their written directions.

John started towards a little isolated
house where he observed a light in its
rear rooms. He rested his heavy bas-
ket on the stoop and knocked at the
door several times. No one respond
ed, and leaving the basket where he
mad placed 1t, John started around the
house to pursue his inquiries at the
kitchen door.

he passed near a frozen water spout.

HEARS GUARD BABY

Fifeld, Wis. Special to the Philadelphia
 Record.
 Kept alive for two days by association with two bear cubs, Baby Ball, the 2 year-old son of a settler north of here, was found late last night asleep in the underbrush and. though starving, was not suffering from exposure. The search CTS found the sign of bears near where the child was found and old woodsmen declare that the babe was kept alive by sleeping with the cubs and their mother.
 All that the child can say is Big dog gie play; baby hungry"
 The child wandered away Saturday night Sunday the entire county joined in a general search for the little one. The days work was fruitless and Monday the search was resumed, and the search CTS found their first trace of the young ster when a scrap of his torn jeans rom pers was found clinging to a raspberry bush miles from his home. The place was all trampled with bear prints and the childs father became frantic, thinking the youngster had been killed by an angry she bear.
 Instead, when at g o'clock at night the hunters stirred the bears in the brush they found the baby alone and un- harmed. The crashing of the underbrush indicated that the bear and cubs left just before the searchers arrived. The north ern Wisconsin nights are cold and the child would have frozen had not he been mothered by the old bear.

 He occupied the pulpit at the 10:S0 o'clock mass. and while he did not preach g. regular sermon, he talked interestingly of his church work in Texas and spoke with emphasis of his high regard for the members of the parish with which he was temporarily connected here HeHreferred to himself as a cosmopolitan priest, as he had to speak r different languages to meet the requirements of his little parish in the diocese of San Antonio He said that Bishop Shaw, formerly secretary of the diocese of Mobile, but now at the Lead of the dioces of San Antonio, had built 100 churches during the few years of his episcopal administration.

GREAT TRIALS OF HISTORY
TRIAL OF THE DUKE OF ORLEANS

men rullifed the law relating to the exile of princes
 The duke addressed the court, in his own behalf. He said: q came to France to serve as a common soldier have nothing to do with politics, which only concerns my father, whose obedient son and faithful servant I am. I knew that by entering France rendered myself liable to the law, but that knowledge did not stop me. love my country and wish to serve her. I am guilty of no crime
 In spite of these expressions of loyalty they fell upon the deaf ears of his judges, and he was found guilty of violating the law, and was sentenced to two years Imprisonment. The demonstration that followed the sentence was so violent that 25 arrests were necessary. Upon being tak en back to his cell the duke drew back the curtain which covered the window and saluted the crowd.
 The Count of Paris, who arrived at Porto Rico on the day that sentence was pronounced, then first learned of the ar- rest of his son. He immediately sent cable dispatch to M. Baucher, an Orean-
 
 saying; My heart is with my dear pris- oLer."
 orleans continued in jail until June 8, 1s9O,N nearly four months. when he was pardoned by President Carnot and exiled. On the same night he was conducted to the Swiss frontier by the Duke de Luynes, arriving in Brussels on the 9th, where he was met at the railway station by one of the royal carriages and conveyed to the palace. w..ere he took breakfast with King Leopold. The following day he arr rived at Dover, England, where he was met by his father and a large number of friends. and where he was given a most cordial reception.
 Since his banishment the Duke of Or leans has lived at various points in Eu- rope. In England, in Belgium and sn Spain. Less and less is France inclined again to take up monarchy, and more and more is the duke giving up the idea of ever becoming the sovereign of that country, but instead has been devoting his lifs to explorations. and to writing on this subject.

Will Be One of the Show Places

The landscape architect is already at work on the campus of Birming- ham college on Owenton hill, and as soon as the extensive improvements recently planned are completed this esteemed seat of learning will be one of the city's great show places.
 The buildings now in use are as large and comfortable as those of the average college in the south; but a large sum of money subscribed early in the year for extensions is avail able for undermining the old build ings and erecting new ones. The col lege fund will before a great while reach the five hundred thousand dol lar mark. Half of this sum will be set aside as an endowment, and the other half will be used for building and beautifying.
 The. campus comprises nearly sev- enty acres. 1t commands one of the finest views in this district of en- chanting scenery, and when the land scape artist works out his design Bir- mingham college will be wondrous lure for all lovers of art and nature.
 The college is Methodist institu- tion, and it's money-raising campaign was conducted by Methodists; but not few liberal contributions were made by citizens who are not of the Meth odist denomination.
 The people of this community, re- gardless of creed, will always feel an interest in Birmingham college; and when the time comes for another can vass there will be aid again from the general public.

The Associated Charities

The Rev. Middleton s. Barnwell, rector of the Church of the Advent, in the course of his sermon yesterday morning saw fit to criticize The Age Herald for what he termed it's attack on the Associated Charities of Bir- mingham. MT. Barnwell's remarks are given in full in another column of The Age Herald.
 The Age Herald has made no attack on the Associated Charities. The Age-Herald has no fight with the Associated Charities.
 The mission of a newspaper is to print facts. This The Age-Herald has done. That such facts should present conditions so deplorable that they are construed by those inter- ested as an attack is attributable not to The Age-Herald, but to the Asso- ciated Charities.

COBUSTIBLE CITIES
From the Newark News.

From the Newark News.
 We have cities to burn We build them of materials that catch fire readily and burn rapidly. Not only that, we cut the materials into comparatively small pieces, which. when blazing, may be carried long distances from the original fire, and thus start general confiagration.
 The city of Salem, the latest to suffer from fire, owes it's greatest measure of destruction to burning shingles, which spread the flames as far as the heat and the wind could carry them. A move- ment is on foot to prevent the use of wooden shingles on all new houses built in the towns and cities of Massachusetts, but it Is doubtful if this will be generally carried into effect.
 In European cities the losses by fire are about one-tenth what they are in the American cities: mainly because shingle roofs and infiammable materials are not allowed in the construction of either municipal buildings or ordinary dwell- ings. We are a century behind the old countries in building cities that do not invite big fires.
