it is also easy to build. The design

(TO BE C~ONTINUED.)
EXCELLENT TRAIT IS CAUTION
Better to Be Sure Before You Move
Than to Have Occasion for
Vain Regrets.

Caution is the parent of safety. 1t Is
better to use caution in time than re-
grets too late. 1t Is better to give the
mind some exercise In consideration
before beginning a new thing, remarks
the Milwaukee Journal. 1t Is wise to
make friends slowly. Some people like
to boast of being 80 impulsiye," and
think that this should be an acceptable
excuse for many failings. Impulse is
often a good thing, but 1t needs a long
course of careful training before it
can be safely INDUCED. First impress
sions are often deceiving. One may
not at first be attractive In appear
ance, but IN further acquaintance,
prove to be admirable in character.
Those who are impulsive In making
professions of friendship are not en-
tirely to be depended on to be perma-
nent or reliable. In giving way to a
strong liking or aversion one often
does injustice. Acquaintance Is quite
us likely to show admirable as unlik-
able qualities. Often an aversion has
been changed to a deep and true
friendship. And, on the other hand,
some who appear admirable on first
meeting, prove otherwise. Do not
judge hastily on the impulse of a mo-
ment. Acts lone on the impulse of
the moment may cause repentance for
many Il ear.

The Source of "You ALL"

were citations from the Old and New
Testaments and from Shakespeare,
wherein the expression you all" and
similar expressions were used, quoted
in justification thereof. Allow me to
add a classical authority. no less than
Cicero, who repeatedly used the *
preston 'vos omnes"-"yOu ALL" Just

now do, that the nearer the source the
purer the issue therefrom.-Letter to

Street. Some of the heaviness of his
spirit always left him ut sight of the
little house. Its kindly atmosphere
seemed to reach out and envelop.
Within was order and quiet, the fresh
ness of his ~turned-down bed, the tidi-
ness of his ordered garments.
Life, that had seemed SO simple. had
grown very complicated for Sidney.
There was her mother TO break the
news to, and Joe. Harriet would ap-
prove, she felt but these others! To
assure Anna that she must manage
alone for three years, In order to be
happy and comfortable afterward-
that was hard enough. But to tell
Joe that she was planning n future
without him, to destroy the light in his
blue %eyes-that hurt.
After all, she told X. first. One Fri
day evening, coming home late as
usual, he found her on the doorstep,
and Joe gone. She moved over hOspi-
tably. The o had waxed and waned.
and the Street was dark. The cOlOred
man who drove Doctor Ed In the old
buggy on his daily rounds had brought
out the hose and sprinkled the street.
Within this one of freshness, of wet
asphalt and dripping cutters, Sidney
sat, cold and silent.

CHAPTER ~.

X. lie Moyne had wakened early that
first morning in his new quarters. Be-
cause he was young and very strong,
he Weakened to II certain lightneSS OF
spirit. But he grew depressed as he
prepared for the Office. He told him
self s%avagely, as he put on his shabby
clothing, that, having sought for peace
and now found it, he was IN ass for
resenting it. The trouble was, of
course, that he came of a fighting
stock-sOldiers and explorers, even Il
gentleman adventurer or two, had been
his fOrefathers. He lOathed peace with
a deadly lOathing.
Having given up everything else, X.
LIE Moyne had also given up the love
of woman. That, of course, Is figura-
tive. He had been too busy for wOm-
en-, and now he was too idle. A small
part of his brain added figures in the
office of a gas company daily, for the
sum of two dollars and fifty cents per
eight-hour working day. But the real
X. lie Moyne, that had dreamed dreams,
had nothing to do with the figures, but
sat somewhere in his head and Knocked
him rs he worked ut his task.
He breakfaStcd at Mrs. McKee's.
The food was rather good, certainly
plentiful; and even his squeamish
morning appetite could find no fault
with the self-respecting tidiness of the
place. Some of the "mealcrs'-the
Streets name for them-ventured on
various small familiarities of speech
with Title. X. lie Moyne himself was
s~crupulously polite but reserved. He
was determined not to let the Street
encrOach on his w~retchedness. Because
he had come to live there was no real
son why it should adopt him. But he
was very polite. When the deaf-and-
dumb book agent wrote something on a
pencil pad and pushed 1t toward him,
he replied in kind.
I'VE are very glad to welcome you to
the Mckee family" was what vas
written on the pad.
Every happy, indeed, to be with YOU"
wrote back lie MOyne-and realized
with a sort Of shock that he meant it.
The kindly greeting had touched him.
The greeting and the breakfast cheered
him also, he had evidently made some
Roadway with Tillie.
Don't you want a toothpick?" she
asked, as he went out.
In KS previous walk of life there
had been no toothpicks; or, if there
were any, they were kept, along with
