Then as she sighed over what she

Clarinda murmured, much relieved.
Then, with sudden pang and a feel,

better wrote Mrs. Uttley, but seems
immensely changed. He is dull and
depressed, and takes little interest in
anything. He has had some trouble

anxious about him.
Trouble of mind? Poor Ernest"
cried Clarinda, with a swelling heart
"He who was SO good and noble and
bright. What can it be-"
The idea of Ernest ill, Ernest in
trouble, haunted her, and for the first
time since her arrival in London she
dressed and went out, caring nothing
about her looks of the party to which

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
A NOBLE RIVAL.

We have very few anecdotes of the
great Raphael. The young, sad-faced
painter of Madonnas is associated for
the most part with his Incompatible
masterpieces, and not with sprightly
happenings over which we can laugh
or chat There is, however, one in
cident in his life of which you may
care to hear.
Before he had completed the fres-
Goes in the chapels of Santa Maria
della Pace he received five hundred
scudi. When the last of the series
was done, he informed the treasurer
that there was more money due him.
Il think you have had enough" said
the treasurer.
But haven't"
"You can't have any more
But if some good judge should say

"Then | would give it. Appoint your

Together the treasurer and the
great sculptor went to examine the
frescoes Michael Angelo took one look
at them and stood spellbound.

so much for such Indifferent paint

A COURAGEOUS BOY.

A company of neWSboys were at
ment given in the Victoria Theater,
Steubenville, Ohio, short while ago
by the local papers of that town.
After the performance proper num-
Der of friendly contests we're started
among the boys; groups of whom
were called to the stage for that pur-
pose.
One of these contests was something
in the nature of Halloween game,
with SauSageS instead of apples
dangling from string. There were
three of these sausageS attached to a
yardstick and the manager stood
swinging them in front of the boys.
Raymond Sweeney was called to the
platform for this contest, and before
he realized what it was to be he stood
before the footlights with his compan-
ions facing the audience.
When the boy saw that to win he
must eat one of the sausages, he re-
membered that it was Friday night
and promptly stepped from the line,
telling the manager that he was a
Catholic and could not conscientiously
play such q game on Friday night.
The manager apologized for his own
thoughtlessness and turning to the
audience proposed cheer in honor of
boy who had the courage and stead
tastness to stick to his religious prin-
til nd kr
TESS his faith openly. The cheer
lacked the heartiness the circumstance
warranted, but Raymond's pluck had
its reward just the same.
A Catholic gentleman who heard of
this occurrence during his stay in
Steubenville, decided to use the little
incidence as a lesson not to be easily
forgotten. This gentleman believes
that boys and men of Raymond
Sweeney's spirit are needed in the
Church of America today.
A gold watch with scapular medal
rewarded young Sweeney on Christ
mas day.
This handsome gift was hung by
the dear good st. Nick on Christmas

THERE is WORK FOR EACH OF US

There is entirely too much to be
done in this world to let any one loaf
on the job. God has treated each man
for some particular work and he must
do that work or take the consequences.
If there is anything that stands in the
way of our Supreme Commander With
the whole of our efficiency it is our
duty to remove the obstruction at any
cost. The man to be admired is he
who leaves self-loye out of it. Where
there is work to be done, self-love
must be the one negligible factor.
At the end OF life, one must have
more than pile of money as visible
monument. To accomplish what is
Gods will for US, we must never cry
halt" or sit down and dream OF the
fine things that could be done. TO
the weakling action is always pre-
mature and the actor ahead OF his
time. To the persistent man, to the
one who does things, to begin is to
continue to the end. He has no time
TO consult the yeering weather cock
He has no time to ask himself how he
likes it. He goes ahead while others
are gaping and gazing.

GOD GIVE US MEN.

God give us men. The time demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true
faith and willing hands;
Men whom the lust of office does not
kill;
Men whom the spells of office can
not buy;
Men who possess opinions and u will;
Men who have honor; men who will
not lie;
Men who can stand before a dema-
gogue
And damn his treacherous batteries
without winking;
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above
the fog
In public duty and in private think
ing!

The afternoon was waning. In the
orchard, behind the Langton'b house,
under the old apple trees it was cool
and shady, and here in long chair
reclined Ernest Langton, white and
weary, a shadow on his face, a look of
pain across his eyes. He had been
very ill, and although out of danger
did not recover his strength as quickly
as the doctors and his friends desired
and hoped he would. That afternoon
he was depressed, and when they left
him alone under the trees his eyes
had sad and mournful look as he
fixed them, with a heavy sigh, upon
the bright, beautiful sky just visible
through the waving branches of the
trees.
Il cannot believe it" he moaned "A
girl of heart and feeling could never
make such marriage-and if she did
would surely be unhappy. When the
first glamor-the novelty of wealth
passes, what will remain? To Clar-
india with her sweet and loving ma
ture-nothing.'
He looked round and suddenly
started up in his chair and, turning
from white to red, put his hand to
his forehead and uttered little cry.
Through the trees, in her plain
serge dress, her fair hair shining
golden in the sunlight, her eyes bright
with excitement blooming and radiant,
came Clarinda Uttley.

"Or-why is she here? Clarinda.

out white and shaking hand. L

The girl caught his hand and threw
herself ON her knees by his side.

Chicago, July 27.-Plans for in
vestigation by federal, state and city
official bodies to determine who
was to blame for the capstzing OF
the steamer Eastland in tthe Chica-
go River Saturday, with loss OF
hundreds of lives, were completed
last night.
A coroner's jury started today,
while federal departments, headed
by Secretary of Commerce Redfield'

states attorneys office, will pro-
coed with the gathering of evidence.
holding formal inquiry in allegiance
until the inquest has finished its
work as far as possible.
Meantime efforts were continued
TO remove victims Of the disaster
from the wrecked ship and to tabu-
late the dead to determine whether
the total death list would remain
around one thousand, as many be-
lieve, or creep up to twelve hundred
or more, as others predict.
The probability of swelling the
list above a thousand was suggested
by the announcement of detectives
that they had seized the tickets tax
en- from passengers boarding the
Eastland. They asserted that these
tickets numbered $3.50, and that
these did not account for children,
musicians and the seyenty-two mem
hers of the crew.
States Attorney Hoyne seized
correspondence which had passed
between officers of the Western
Electric Employees organization
which gave the picnic, and tho
transportation company. The states
attorney stated that this cores
pondence disclosed the fact that the
steamship company had advised
those in charge of the picnic tina
the more tickets sold, the greater
would be the rebate paid to the EN-
ployees' organization.
