CHAPTER x.
Tho Turn Of the Tide.

WIZ W etV hsSSs
From time immemorial the histor.
Of the popular hero has ever been the
same. To king and patriot. to the
favorite girl at school and the small
boy who is leader of the gang" to
politician, to preacher, to actor and
author, comes first worship then
eclipse. The great Napoleon did not
escape this common fate; and the pub
lie idol who was kissed only yesterday
for his gallant deeds Is scorned today
for having permitted the kissing. Oh.
caprice Of the human heart! Oh, cry
Of the race for the unaccustomed!
From that first anniversary Of his
entrance into the home. Abraham felt
his popularity decrease-in fact more
than decrease. He saw the weather
vane go square about, and where ne
had known for three hundred and
sixty-fve days the gentle. balmy feel
of the southwest zephyr, he found him
self standing Of sudden In cold.
bleak northeast wind. The change be-
wildered the old man, and reacted on
his disposition. As he had blossomed
in the sunshine, so now he began to
droop in the shade. Feeling that he
was suspected and criticized, he began
to grow suspicious and fault-fnding
himself. His old notion that he had
no right to take a womans place In
the institution came back to his brain,
and he would brood over 1t for hours
at time, sitting out on the porch with
his pipe and Angy.
The old wife grieved to think that
father was growing old and beginning
to show his years. She made him some
tansy tea, but neither her persuasions
nor those of the whole household could
induce him to take it. He had never
liked "doctoring" anyway, although he
had submitted to it more or less during
the past year in unconscious subservi-
ence to his desire to increase his popu.
larity; but now he fancied that where
once he had been served as king by
all these female attendants, he was
simply being "pestered" as a punish
ment for his past behavior with Blossy.
All, with its surprising ending that
had been a humiliating affair; and he
felt too that he would be long in for
giving Mrs. Darby for not having con-
fided to him her actual intentions.
Now he was afraid to be decently
courteous to one of the sisters for fear
that they might accuse him Of light
dalliance again; and he scarcely ever
addressed the new member who came
to take Blossy's little room, for he had
been cut to the quick by her look of
astonishment when she was told that
he belonged there.
In his mental fermen! the old man
began to nag at Angy. Sad though 1t
Is to confess Of hero honestly loved.
Abraham had nagged little all his
married life when things went wrong.
And Angeline. fretted and nervous,
herself worried almost sick over
fathers condition, was guilty once in
a while out of the depths Of her anxi-
ETY. of nagging back again. So do we
hurt those whom we love best as we
would and could hurt no other.

of. Abe looked everywhere yet mo-
where at all. Not a word was spoken
even when the carriage was heard
rolling down the drive; but the sound
of the wheels seemed to arouse Angy
from her stupor of amazement; ana
presently Abraham became conscious
Of q touch-a touch sympathetic, ten
der and true-a touch all-understand-
ing-the touch of Angy's hand within
his own.

II All the World Lived In Texas

If the entire population of the world
resided in Texas there would be only
an average of ten persons to the acre,
according to figures compiled by John
Adams of Fort Worth. The population
of the world is about 1,50O,OO0,QQ0. If
all the inhabitants of the world lived
in Texas the density of population
would be about equal to the density
of Fort Worth's population, which is
5,440 a square mile. There are 1885,
$50 square miles in Texas.-Dallas

heard him also? He had his peace to
make with his wife and he would
make 1t. "Angy!"
She flung the door open hastily. The
signs Of the tears had not been obliter-
ated, and her face was drawn and old.
Straightway she put her hand on his
arm and searched his face inquiringly.
What did the gals say ter yew?"
she whispered. ABE, yew made mis-

but the blinded old gentleman slipped

ingly. II didn't mean no harm. cant
help It ef all the gals git stuck on
mel"
Before Angy could make any reply,
Blossy called to the couple softly but
-insistently from the foot of the stairs;
and Angy, wrenching herself free,
hastened down the steps, for once in
her life glad to get away from Abe.
He lost no time in following. No mat
ter where Angy went, he would follow
until all was well between her and him
again.
But what was this? At the landing,
Angy halted and SO did Abe, for in the
center Of the sisters stood Blossy with
her Sunday bonnet perched on her sill
ver-gold hair and her white India
shawl over her shoulders, and beside
Blossy stood Capt. Samuel Darby with
countenance exceedingly radiant,
his hand clasped fast in that of the
aged beauty.
"Oh, hurry, Sister Angy and
Brother Abel" called Blossy. 1--WE
were waiting for you, and I've got
some news for all my friends" She
waited smilingly for them to join the
others; then with gesture which in
cluded every member Of the household,
she proceeded: THE pink tea, want
you all to know, had a double signifi-
cance, and first, of course, it was to
celebrate the anniversary of Brother
Abe's sojourn with us; but next 1t was
my farewell to the Home" Here
Blossy gurgled and gave the man at
her right SO coy a glance that Samuels
face famed red and he hung his head
lower to one side than usual like lit
tie boy that had been caught stealing
apples. Il left the tea a trife early
you must'forgive me, Brother Abe, but
heard the train-whistle." Abe stood
beside Angeline, rooted in astonish-
ment. while Blossy continued to ad.
SO many good recommendations, dear
brother, that when the time ap-
preached for his June visit, I felt that
simply could not let him miss 1t as
he did in December. Last year, on the
day you entered, he was here through
no desire Of mine. Today he is here
at my request My friends" again she
included the entire home in her glance,
well come back little later to say
good-by. Now, we're on the way to
the minister's"
The pair, Samuel tongue-tied and
bewildered by the Joy of his finally
won success, moved toward the door.
On the threshold Of the home Blossy
turned and waved farewell to the COM
panions of her widowhood, while Sam
uel bowed in a dazed fashion. his face
still red as 1t was blissful. Then
quickly the two passed out upon the
porch. No one moved to see them

WIRELESS BLEW UP SHIP
Naval Expert Suspects Germans il
Princess Irene Disaster

London, June 1.-The suggestion
has been made in the Evening Stand
ard by Fred T. Jane, the naval author
that the steamer Princess Irene ar
auxiliary in the British navy, was
blown up last week in Sheerness har-
Dor, with loss of over 300 lives.
"The sudden and complete destruc-
ton of the Princess Irene in the Med
way," MIR. Jane writes, cat no greater
distance from where the battleshlp
Bulwark also was suddenly blown to
atoms may be a curious coincidence,
Italian experiments have proved Ii
possible to explode properly attunec
charge by wireless from short dis
lance. If that charge be surreptltl-
ouSly placed in a magazine, every
thing in the magazine will go the
same way. One spontaneous explo-
sion is thinkable but two in the same
district demand too much from the
imagination"

LAST DAYS OF BECKER
Condemned Man About to Retrac;
His DenunciatiOn of Creator

Ossining, N. Y, June Charles
Becker, with less than a month and !;
half to live, is again about to be re
conciled to God, according to Father
Cashin, the Catholic prison chaplain
who says that he will soon retract
his denunciation last Thursday o!
the Creator and become penitent.
The first indication that ne woulc
change from the unbeliever he de
clared himself to be, when in par
oxysm of anger he denounced his
enemies and God for his predicameni
came when Father Cashin told hin
of Gods inscrutable way.
"Then why did God allow me t.
come to this?" asked Becker in 8
calmer tone,
This was a noticeable change. u
to that time Becker had renowned
his Maker unreservedly. He also hat
turned his back on Father Cashin ant

SERVICES AT ARLINGTON
President in His Address Makes NJ
Reference to Trouble With Ger
many.

Eulogies of Americas soldier and
sailor, dead were voiced yester-
day by President Wilson, Secretary
Bryan, Secretary Daniels and Gov.
Willis of Ohio, at impressive Me-
mortal day exercises at Arlington
National Cemetery. Large crowds
seized every opportunity to show
that the present international situa-
tion was uppermost in their minds.
President Wilson, cheered on his
arrival and departure and during his
address, carefully avoided any direct
reference to problems now facing
the United States. He was enthusiast
tically applauded when he declared
that greater days lie before this
nation than it has ever. yet seen, and
the solemn consciousness of those
who bear Office in this time is that
they must make their best endeavor
to embody in what they do and say
the best things in the United States.
