TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.

The Great Creator in His wisdom created
many men of many minds and temperaments
knowing that if the sons of men alike in
wishes and desires would lead unending strife.
He created well, for is the noblest work
of God. But in way there crept into the
world a creature God did not create thing self
made, be it male female, that is hated, despised
and abhorred thing self-created, self-pited and
abnormally sef-loved.
This self-created creature is the chronic
crouch that walks here and there in every town
and community sarching for happiness-that he
may destroy it. Flowers and children, because
they represent beauty and love, he detests. He
reads as he runs all men are liars and all women
but creatures of evil.
In summer he reviles the bright sunshine and
hates the green hills. In winter he reviles the
cleansing snow and the purifying frost. The
bitterness of gall and NORWOOD is within his
heart
Children flee from him and his wife can be
classed among the martyrs. Men shun him and
the world hates him. From early age he walks
the earth spreading unhappiness and unbelief-a
maker of evil and dscord.
Let us throw the x-ray of self-examination
into our own hearts and search out the little mi
crobe that has tendency to multiply and pro-
duce, in time, the hated Crouch There is too
much love and sunshine in this old world of ours
to spoil it with the canker of selhshness.

Dear Robinson.
! have your letter i'll re the
Fiddle belonging TO young
Struble and am sending same
to him.
Ii you do as good a job OF
filling in on his violin as you
did ON the O'Brien fiddle
here, | think he will be more
than pleased.
He may write you and tell
you who butchered it before.
Ii you have a real good one
OF your own write him If you
care to make some kind of
d deal with him. or write to
me and ] will forward the
letter to him.
He is a nice young fellow
and very much crazy III the
head over a fiddle, something
like most fiddle cranks I
guess, and after using my
fiddle while you are putting
ginger into his old one, he
will likely want a genuine
Robinson and he can make
one talk in meeting some too.
| knew that the ten dollars
was none too much to cover
the repairs on his old one,
after looking it over and re-
ceiying his letter. lie you
need any more, all you got
to do is to tell me about it,
aud you get the money.
Your dear old fingers are to
valuable to any man who
loves a violin to want them
working for any small pay.
I only hope that you can
keep on making good fiddles
for the next hundred years
or SO. Any man who can
make such a fiddle as you do,
should do nothing else and
never touch a piece of repair
work. Advise me.

THE BABE OF BETHLEHEM.
BY Thomas O'Hagan.

The Christ Child in the manager lay
The inns were full that night;
And DER Judea'S distant plains
There streamed a wondrous light;
The shepherd mid his White-feeced
flock
Gazed wistfully from afar,
And voices strange, angelic, sweet,
Smote hearth and hill and star.
The Christ Child in the manager lay
A Royal Throne OF grace.
And Mary, Lily Maid of God,
Found glory in His face;
For u King was born in Bethlehem
In Bethlehem Of Judea,
Whose sceptrd power of love and
grace
Should reach from sea to sea.
From I'm the Heart of the Meadow. "

CHAPTER Xxx.
A Sisters Story.

II she hesitated outside the room to
summon the courage to face the man
who would demand SO much of her,
there was nothing in her manner now
to indicate that such had been the
case. She approached him without a
symptom Of ~ervousness or irresolu-
ton. Her dark eyes met his without
wavering and there was purpose In
them.
She devoted a single glance Of sur
prise to the uncurtained window on en-
tering the door and an instant later
s%crutini2ed the floor with unmistakable
interest as II expecting to find some
thing there to account for his motive
in admitting the glare of light-some-
thing to confound and accuse her. But
there was no fear OF apprehensiveness
In the look. She was not afraid.
Brood remained standing, a little be-
yond the broad ray of light, expecting
her to advance into its full, revealing
glare. She stopped, however, in the
shadow opposite. 1t was he who moved
forward into the light, and there was a
deep searching look in his eyes. In an
instant 1t was gone; he had satisfied
himself. The curious experience of the
morning had been a phantasm, an IL
fusion, a mockery. There was moth
ing in this woman's %smoldering eyes

hands in some active employment and

to her trim, erect figure a suggestion

Her arms hung straight down at her
sides. Imply 1t would have seemed at

utterances of the mystic. The two
men, master and man, looked into each
others eyes and spoke no more, yet
something passed between them.

away. Near the door he stopped stock

The door opened and closed swiftly
and he was gone BROOD allowed his
dull, wondering gaze to sink to his
feet. He was standing on the spot
where Frederic had fallen. There was
no blood there now. The rug had been
removed and before his own eyes, the
swift-moving Hindu had washed the
floor and table and put the room In or

He looked at her fxedly for a mo-

back of his mind. He was vaguely

He sat down opposite her, and rest
ed his arms on the table. The lines
about his mouth we're rigid, uncompro-

in his eyes.
She leaned forward in her chair, the
better to watch the changing express

her story. Her hands were clenched
tightly under the tables edge.
