Inc list or presents was long There
were a diamond tiara, a diamond sun
burst, the famous black pearls that
her father had acquired from bank
rupt duke at auction. The mans heart
sickened as he read. He did not think
of Dora, but OF the falseness OF the life
from which he had fled. And "a sudden
illumination came TO him.
He fell upon his knees and prayed
for enlightenment. And when he arose
he knew that choice conceded with
duty
Slowly he turned his footsteps home
ward
Upon her knees in the hut a woman
prayed likewise. Hearing a step, she
rose. She ran to her husband with
incredulous joy. Standing thus, in
each others arms. they saw the ship,
little twinkling. distant patch upon
the ocean.
Upon Jack Barrett's face was i'm
measurable content as he kissed her.

WOMAN "PEDDLESD THE TIME
Somewhat Peculiar Occupation by
Which Ensllshwoman Makes q
Really Handsome Income.

Probably no other hill in the world
has had so strangely varied his
tory or played so important a part in
the AFFAIRS OF men as that at Green
witch, in England. The granite line
across the foOtpath on its summit is
the meridian from which the longitude
on every British map and chart is
calculated. All England sets its time
by the mean solar clock. There is a
large electromagnetic clock fixed on
the outside wall Of the observatory
and divided into twenty-four hours.
There are many who believe this
clock is kept going by the sun. They
do not know that the fixed stars are
the real timekeepers from which Brit
ishers check their daily progress.
To this galyano-magnetic clock in
the wall comes every Monday wom-
an, Miss Belleville OF Maidenhead, who
makes $500 a year out Of the queer
est occupation in England. She sells
the time to London watchmakers.
Many years ago the then astronomer
royal suggested TO her father that II
he took the corrected time of certi-
ned chronometer every week he could
no doubt find numerous clients. So
Mr.. Belleville bought a watch made for
the duke of Essex and then worked up
a business with It. When he died his
widow sold the time until she reached
the age OF eighty-one. and then she
handed the business over to her daugh-
ter. When Miss Belleville visits
Greenwich at the beginning Of every
week her chonometer is corrected and
she is given an official certificate.
From that her fifty customers correct
their watches and clocks.

BECOME USED TO SUFFERING
Soldiers In tho Trenches Aoeustom
Themselves TO the Hard Condl-
lions Of Modern War.

A medical observer of the effects
produced on French soldiers by pro
longed service in the trenches notes
With apparent surprise that in a few
months they lose all fear Of the sud.
den death which constantly threatens
them, cease to thrill to the horrors
that are their daily spectacles, and
when wounded seem almost Indifferent
to pain.
No doubt these observations are
true-of the men who prove capable
OF accustoming themselves TO the
hard conditions OF modern war.
Equally credible. however. are the re-
ports coming from all the armies OF
men In considerable numbers whose
nerves will not stand the strain OF
the trenches and who are soon re
duced by them to a state OF imbecil-
ity or insanity As for the impassi-
bility OF the harder faction, IL is only
another illustration of the familiar
fact that the human mind cannot long
respond actively to stimulations that
are continuous and monotonous. One
mangled corpse is a frightful specta-
Gle when first seen, but when there
are hundreds or thousands OF them in
view, day after day, they cease TO Gre
ate any emotion.
That the soldiers become compare
lively insensible to pain only shows
that they have acquired. by living
much as savages do. a trait which
every student OF the lower races has
found in them. The red Indian could
sing while being burned at the stake,
not because he was notably courage
GUS. but because his sufferings were
much less than would be those of a
civilized victim OF the same torture.

A MANS CHOICE
BY II. M. EGBERT.

All that day Jack Barrett had sat
at his desk like a man in dream.
Each successive telephone message
had spelled increasing disaster. At
first he calculated how much he would
have left after the payment of his
debts: then he considered the settle
ment; then he knew that there would
not even be a settlement. The crash
had swept his entire fortune away
Everything was gone. He, the famous
Wall street Spectator, who had
dumped into the game with his IA
Tther's eight million dollars. and driven
his adversaries before him by sheer
pluck and daring had gone under be-
fore their combination.
He was conscious of the looks of
his employees. Poor devils. they
knew that they would have to look for
other jobs soon enough. They were
thinking only OF themselves. from his
high-priced secretary to his Office boy.
He brazened it out meeting visitors,
telling the truth. He would not run
away. He resolved to face the worst.
Nevertheless, it was with vast relief
that he left his office at five o'clock.
to go to the only person who, he
thought. still believed in him. still
kept her faith.
Dora Jameson and he had been en-
gagged three months. Her mother was
a climber" her father alternately a
bankrupt and a millionaire Some
shady speculative business enabled
him to put a bold front toward the
world. Jack Barrett had no idea that
Dora was OF his mettle.
She came into the reception room
where he awaited her. and he told
her everything And he misunder-
stood. although he saw her face
harden.
81 shall try again for our sakes,
dearest" he said.
That's all very well, but do you
think / am going TO wait till you have
made another fortune?" she pouted.
Wait. Dora?"
yes. Don't you suppose have
other chRnces?"
you mean you cared only for my
money!"
You are foolish. Jack loved you.
but I'm not going to marry a beggar.
/ must have dresses and servants and
money to spend"
Without word, Barrett turned
away. This was the end of every
