BY THE GENTLE cYNIc

Many a man has reached the heights
by putting up a blum.
Few things are as hard to beat as
your way through life.
The fact that talk is cheap is what
makes 1t SO expensive in the end.
The Prince OF Darkness doesn't al.
way wait for the sun to go down.
A half-hearted kick 10 worse than
none. Throw your whole sole into it.
The circumstances that alter cases
are generally financial circumstances.
One good turn makes a man expect
that you are going to do him another.
The things that come t. those who
wait are generally pretty well worn
out.
It is extremely doubtful If the mar
who leads a double life has twice as
much fun.
Possibly the reason all the world
loves a lover is because the world
likes to be amused.
The fact that we are all born
equal probably accounts for our in
ability to forgive the success Of our
friends.
The reason some people W. put
their best foot forward is because
they reserve 1t exclusively for kicking
purposes.

THAT BOY OF YOURS OR GIRL

Don't fail TO provide for the life
of that boy CT girl Of yours. Remem-

alcc for the l1tll,ss G years to al
Low tlem T'casu.es that you didn't
have yourself.
There are some parents 80 mean
that they are determined, If possible,
to make their children have a harder
time than they had when they were
growing up. This is certainly fool
ish and while there is a great amount
of nonsense about the idleness Of the
youth Of to-day, II is certain that the
children are not altogether to blame
for their .ack of Theft.
After you have driven a child to all
the chores in the neighborhood for
ten or twelve years you needn't won
der why he won't get up and sing
joyously about his happy home. You
can't make a home happy to a child
by examining it full of work. Give
them some sport, some real good
games to play, and when later in life
they turn to the things worth while
you will find them taking up theil
work in the same way that they en-
tered the games of childhood.

SCIENTISTS KNOW THAT

Dark clothes are the warmest be-

Dusty shoes are always the hottest
because polished shoes throw of the
heat.
A negro has black eyes because that
color defends them from the strong
sunlight.
Water rolls Off cabbage leaves be-
cause they are covered with a very
fine dust.
1t is in the lungs that our blood be-
comes red. Before it gets there 1t is

The bubbles in a teacup follow the

as a magnet attracts steel.
A kettle "sings' because the air In
the water escapes by fits and starts,
and so makes the Singing" noise.
Plants grow quicker on bright noon
light nights because such nights pro-
duce dew, which is very good for
plants.
Animals are covered with fur, hair
and feathers because those substances
prevent the heat of the body from es-

 The old man. his hands grasping himself together. He directed one look at Marvel-reproachfu pleading, a lost look. His were the eyes of a man who saw a stranger enter his presence and bring a stately fabric into the midst of sudden devastation and ruin.
 "Where-where is my nephew?" his lips framed, rather than uttered. How came he to find the notes-?"
 It was an admission, and I noted Marvers lips settle grimly-a point scored, a start made
 If you had the notes in this house." he ventured audaciously, what of the plates from which they were print ed?"
 You know all! Then it is-ruin." broke in a despairipg cry from the old mans lips.
 Quick, call someone!" directed Marvel, as Buckingham fell to one side. A spasm convulsed his frame and he lay rigid and speechless. My friend had lifted him to an easier posi- tion, while I hastened to the hall and advised the servant there of his mas ter's condition.
 We waited until after a physician had been called. He shook his head seriously while they placed the mil lionaire on a couch. Then he went to work on him. His attitude be- came more reassuring as the patient recovered consciousness and looked about him in bewildered way. Then as his eye fell on Marvel the old fright or fear, terror or apprehension, or whatever it was, came back into his face.
 Take" he urged, "a blank signed check. Fill in for any amount, only save-save my family from shame"
 And the plates?" gently but firm ly persisted Marvel, waving back the proffered check.
 "Come-come-" the tortured tones grew more feeble. when I-I send for you"
 We saw that he was going into an other sinking spell. Marvel hastily summoned the physician. and we passed down the hall and out of the house.

A servant answered a question put by Marvel, and ushered him into a card, and we both arose as a man aged, austere, dignified, came into the apartment with an easy, old-fashioned sense of courtesy that charmed me He had Marvefs card in his hand, and l fancied the name it bore had aroused him into curiosity or interest as to the personality it represented. Marvel weighed his man in the scales of mature judgment, and went to the heart of his subject forthwith

 "Of the-government?"
 Very slowly, as though difficult of utterance, Mr. Buckingham pro- nounced that last word I thought he quivered, was sure his natural ruddy color lessened.

 The city center streets were com paratiVely deserted, as the business crowds had gone homewards some time since. Marvel carried the dog to the barred front of the bank, set the little animal on the pavement and returned to the machine
 Just follow that dog" he ordered to the chauffeur. and fixed his eye closely upon the object of his interest.
 The fox terrier crowded through the barred gate protecting the en- trance to the bank, ran up to the great bronze doors and lifted it's head and howled. Then it sniffed around in circle, came out to the pavement, threw it's nose up in the air in several directions and trotted down the street on a bee line.
 There could be no doubt that the clever animal knew the way home, for it proved never at fault, never hesitated. and buckled down sturdily as if knowing it had long jaunt ahead This proved true. It made only square turns at corners, and gradually left the business center for the better residence portion of the city.
 Keep close directed Marvel to the chauffeur as the animal reached a broad boulevard and increased it's pace. Follow" he ordered addition ally, as the dog suddenly diverged from it's course and turned down a broad alley. Then, as our forerunner reached an iron fence inclosing a gar den and crowded through between two pickets, Marvel spoke one quick, imperative word: "Stopi" leaped out of the machine and ran up to the fence

I asked the woman you saw if the dog belonged there"
 And she said yes?"
 With the addendum that it's owner was the nephew of her master, and she wondered why he did not come home with the animal, as he usually did"
 It was no task to locate the front of the lot where the dog had run to cover. It was an imposing stone structure We halted in front of it, and my friend read aloud the name engraven on the broad old-style sil- yer plate on one of the ornamental front doors:

 Then Resilius Marvel looked at me, and my eyes meeting hfs expressive glance, full of wonder, reflected some what manifest surprise. if not a positive shock in his own.
