Two Glasses Of People.

Probably the recording angel never
quite loses patience with a man who
is kind to animals. One may swear,
steal, lie, cheat, get drunk or run over
strangers in ones motor car; one may
be shiftless, grabbed, naughty, narrow
minded, thlck-skulled and insubOrdin-
ate, and yet have q spark of nobility
which expresses itself in kindness to
horses and to stray cats erd dogs. A
man who isn't needlesslS cruel can
get along even IL he lacks some Of
the pretentious virtues.
The reason that kindness to animals
is sure test of persons character
is that animals are generally helpless,
as compared with human beings, and
don't do anything to arouse jealousy.
Men who are naturally kind may take
merciless advantages with the happi-
ness OF others who stand in their way.
But men who are naturally kind don't
kick stray dogs.
In fact, there are just two classes
OF people in the world, one with imag-
ination enough to know how a dog
feels when IL shrinks along beside you,
and ways its forlorn tail and hopes
against hope that II has found friend
at last, and one which hasn't that
faculty.-San Francisco Bulletin.

ship unload ner cargo OF ammunition.
Egeioff stormed and swore and bribed,
but all TO no avail The ammunition
might not be landed.
Billy Gard managed to get ashore
and find his way to the American con-
sulate. From there he was able to
make his report to the home Office and
receive instructions that he was to
remain with the ammunition cargo.
The special agent found his task
comparatively easy here, and merely
had to wait for events TO take their
normal course. His chief interest was
G. Egeloff, who had remained a mys-
terry to him despite a semifriendship
that had slowly grown up between
them. He had attempted in vain to
lead the Russian into a discussion of
his future plans in Mexico, and had
grown to suspect that the gentleman
had no such plans. At Odessa the
big man seemed impatient of delay
and, Gard thought, rather reckless of
the disposition of his charge.
The representative of the United
States had been contemplating the
value of the guns bought at Valentines
and the figure Of $4,000 which the
Lily Maid had caught from the lips OF
the interpreter. He knew that the
purchases at Hartford had not exceed
ed 100000. He drew the conclusion
that this strange representative of the
Indian head NJ n Latin A merican ma
ton would probably give less than
value for the 100000 that had been
placed In his hands for the purchase
OF American munitions OF war.
The special agent was still attached
to the City OF Naples as clerk when.
after ten days OF futile attempts at
landing her cargo, she again turned
her nose to the sea. She was two
days out when he became assured of
a fact which he had suspected. The
Russian was not aboard. The ship
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1916-10-05

picked her course through the Medi-
terranean. out again past Gibraltar,
but. instead OF striking out toward
Mexico as Gard had suspected she
would. she steered to the north and
eventually came to anchor in the port
of Hamburg on a windy morning in
March.
At Hamburg there was assurance OF
ability to discharge cargo. No sooner
had the ship tied up than its long-re-
strained personnel of officers and crew
availed themselves of the freedom CT
shore leave. AS the afternoon wore
on, the vessel was deserted with the
exception of the Italian second mate
and a few members of the crew. Gard
stuck to his desk in the purser's cab
in. 1t was from this point of vantage
that he became aware of an alterca-
tion on deck. An American voice was
saying in English:
MIR. Egeloff; want to see Mr.. Eye
loft"
The second mate protested his ina
bility to speak English, whereupon a
second voice repeated the request in
Spanish, with no better result. Then
of sudden a great light seemed to
break on the second mate.
"Ahl ST, senior. II you will be so
good as to step this way"
Whereupon he led the strangers to
the cabin, where he knew Gard to be
at work, and, remembering that the
supposed clerk spoke many languages,
he turned the visitors over to him.
"Mr. Egeloff?" asked the American,
evidently misinterpreting the action Of
the mate.
The special agent was taken entirely
by surprise. The possibilities OF such
a situation had never presented then,.
selves to him.
what IL am7' he asked cautiously.
IL am Mckay" said the American.
"You have credentials, suppose"
said Gard.
YES" answered that individual. Il
am authorized to provide for the re-
shipment of the cargo

der way. the vessel would not be
stopped to put him ashore.
This was the reason why an I'M
equal fight ensued in which three sail
ormen sought to drag az unwilling
youngster in a plaid suit from the
hold to the deck that he might be put
on the ship. But the first of the at
lacking force proved himself unfa-
miliar with the strategy of lead with
the left to make an opening for a
swing with the right. and so this lat
ter blow caught him on the chin and
he went down and out. The second
sailor was a squarehead and rushed
his antagonist. The stowaway ducked
and the force of the Swede increased
the severity of a mighty jab with the
right in the pit OF the stomach, which
happened at the time to be unusually
full, and the attacker crumbled with
an agony in his inwards. The stow
away grappled with the third man
and showed an additional knowledge
OF the science of the rough and tum-
BILE. He twisted one OF that individ-
uars hands behind him and pushed it
up, using the favorite jiu jitsu trick
that American policemen have Dor
rowed from the Japanese. In this
way he had his man at his mercy.
shades OF Carlos" came a roar
from the doorway in most Indifferent
Spanish. Where did you learn it
all?"
The stowaway looked up and saw
the huge form OF the bearded Russian
who represented the government Of
Mexico standing there.
I'm the United States" he answered
in Spanish. "Ah, they are wonderful
those Americansl"
1t should be remembered that Billy
Gard had lived abroad when a boy
with his father who was in the con-
sular service. He had learned the
languages Of the Mediterranean al
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1916-10-05

most before he spoke English and was
therefore much at home among its
people. And because of this he had
been able to become an Italian stow
away in half an hour at a second
hand store in Brooklyn.
But why all this fighting?" asked
the Russian.
Il would go back to Italy, bon Italy"
said the stowaway. These pigs of
sailormen know not how homesick l
am. They would put me ashore. 1
not go. You see the result"
"Well, you will not be put ashore
now" said the Russian. Il happen
to be interested in this cargo, and :
want no delay. You may come on
deck with me-
1t happened in this way that Billy
Gard went to sea with a large cargo of
Mexican ammunition, little believing
that it would ever cross to Europe.
Since he was aboard and might not
be otherwise disposed of, the Italian
captain set him to work as a clerk,
and got much good service out of him
on the ships books before land was
again sighted. 1t happened in this
way, also, that he was given an OPP
portunity to study and cultivate G. Eg-
eloff, but little came of 1t because of
the all-sufficiency of that gentleman
within himself
Gard was greatly surprised when
the city of Naples maintained her
course straight across the Atlantic.
Even more surprised was he when she
passed in at Gibraltar, ignored the
ports OF Spain. sailed past the towns
OF her nativity in Italy and on to the
east. Not until the Dardanelles and
the Bosporus we're passed was he
convinced that she was bound for the
port for which she had cleared. But
after six weeks at sea she reached
Odessa, on the Black sea, and there
put into port.
But at Odessa the unexpected hap
pened. The authorities, being by tenn
permanent suspicious and eyer-vigilant
of anarchistic plots. refused to let the
