Paw Up Your Debts.

If you have So, or more or less. for
which you have no pressing need, go
and pay a debt with it. That is the
best use you can make of money, I'M
less you are naked or starving. Now
is the time to obey the Bible injunc-
ton, "Owe no man anything" That
is in the Bible, but from the way some
debtors spend money they don't seem
to know it or care for it. If they have
a dollar extra, it goes for pleasure
or a convenience. The duty to pay
someone they owe never occurs to
them. Nor does 1t occur to them that
every unsettled debt is drag on a
community. Everybody has to pay
interest on It.
People have to pay more for their
sugar and coffee because other people
owe the grocer and won't pay, accord
ing to the editor Of the Ohio State
Journal. It is one of the items in
the high cost of living. And then
there is a wholesome public policy in
scattering the money around. It will
help find work for some poor man and
help some other debtor pay his debt.
So pay up now.

GIVES A MON0LITH TO POPE
Evidence of Early Christianity In
China Presented to Benedict by
New York Woman.

After presenting to Pope Benedict
two-ton monolith, the gift Of Mrs.
George Leary of New York city, Rev.
Father George w. Waring, chaplain OF
the Eleventh cavalry, q. S, A., station.
ed at Governors island, has returned.
'"The monolith," he said, sis repro
duction of a monument erected at
Cian-Fu, China, in the seventh century,
by HISTORIAN heretics of the Christian
faith. The inscriptions on the big
stone, In Chinese and Assyrian, prove
conclusively that Christianity had OBJ
tanned a foothold in China at that
early period. The monolith was
brought here by DR.. Fritz Holm, and
for eight years it was exhibited at the
American Museum of Art Then it
was purchased by Mrs. Leary, in
whose behalf I took it to Rome to
present it to the pope, who had it set
up in the Vatican museum"
So well pleased was the pope with
the monoIith that he conferred upon
Father Waring the cross Pro Ecclesia
ct Pontifice and gave to him an auto
graphed photograph.

swell, this is the question: She's
getting better. She'll be going out

II don't know, Of course. There are

gave her a newspaper, and after a
while I found the paper on the floor,
and she was crying. The other pa
tients avoid her, and it was some time
before I noticed it. The next day she
told me that the man was going to
marry someone else. He wouldn't
marry me, Of course she said; but
be might have told me-"
LIE Moyne did his best, that after
noon in the little parlor, to provide
Sidney with a philosophy to carry her
through her training. He told her that
certain responsibilities were hers, but
that she could not reform the world.
Broad charity, tenderness and healing
were her province.
Help them all you can," he finished,
feeling inadequate and hopelessly di-
dactic. "Cure them; send them out
with a smile; and-leave the rest to
the Almighty"
Sidney was resigned, but not con-
tent. Newly facing the evil of the
world, she was a rampant reformer at
once. Only the arrival of Christine
and her fiance saved his philosophy
from complete rout. He had time for
a question between the ring of the
bell and Katfe's deliberate progress
from the kitchen to the front door.

It makes me quite distinguished, for q

"And-the glamour persists?" He
smiled down at her.
IA think he is very wonderful" said
Sidney valiantly.
Christine Lorenz, while not large,
seemed to fill the little room. Her
voice, which was frequent and pene-
trattng, her smile, which was wide and
showed very white teeth that were a
trifie large for beauty, her all-embrac-
Ing good nature, dominated the entire
lower floor. K, who had met her be-
fore, retired into silence and corner.
Young Howe smoked a cigarette IN
the hall.

and put her cheek against Sidney's.
"Why, you're positively thini Palmer

dolently from the corridor. There is
the look of willing martyrdom in her
face"
Howe was a good-looking man, thin,
smooth-shaven, aggressively well
dressed. This Sunday afternoon, in
a cutaway coat and high hat, with an
English malacca stick, he was just a
little out of the picture. The Street

CHAPTER TX.


The hot August days dragged on.
MerciIess sunlight beat in through the
Slated shutters Of ward windows. At
night, from the roof to which the
nurses retired after prayers for
breath Of air, lower surrounding roofs
were seen to be covered with sleepers.
Children dozed precariously on the
edge Of eternity; men and women
sprawled in the grotesque postures OF
sleep.
There was a sort Of feverish irrita-
bility in the air. Even the nurses, sto-
ically unmindful of bodily discomfort
spoke curly or not at all. Miss Dana,
in Sidney's ward, went down with a
low fever, and for day or so Sidney
and Miss Grange got along as best
they could. Sidney worked like two or
more, performed marvels of bed MAX
ing, learned to give alcohol baths for
fever with the maximum of result and
the minimum of time, even made
rounds with a members Of the staff and
came through creditably.
DR.. Ed Wilson had sent woman pa
tent into the ward, and his visits
were the breath of life to the girl.
"How're they treating you?" he
asked her, one day, abruptly.
every well.''
''Look at me squarely. You're pref
ty and you're young. Some of them
will try to take it out of you. That's hui
man nature. Has anyone tried it yet?'
Sidney looked distressed.
POSITIVELY, no. It's been hot, and
of course it's troublesome to tell me
everything. IL think they're all
very kind"
He reached out square, competent
hand, and put it over hers.
''We miss you in the Street" he
said. ''It's all sort of dead there since
you left"
He went out and down the corridor
He had known Sidney all his life.
During the lonely times when Max
was at college and in Europe he had
watched her grow from a child to a
young girl. He did not suspect for
moment that in that secret heart of
hers he sat newly enthroned, in a
glow of white light, as Max's brother;
that the mere thought that he lived
in Max's house lit was, of course, Maxs
house to her), sat at Max's breakfast
table, could see him whenever he
wished, made the touch Of his hand on
hers a benediction and a caress.
Carlotta Harrison, back from her
vacation, reported for duty and was
assigned to e ward, which was Sid
ney's. She gave Sidney curt little
nod, and proceeded to change the en-
tire routine with the thoroughness of
Central American revolutionary
president. Sidney, who had yet to
learn that with some people authority
can only assert itself by change,
found herself confused, at sea, half
resentful. She got the worst of-duty
Of the day, or none. Small humilia-
tons were hers: late meals, disagree
able duties, endless and often unnec-
essary tasks. Ignorant of the cause
of her persecution, she went steadily
on her way.
And she was gaining every day. Her
mind was forming. She was learning
to think for herself. On the whole,
the world was good, she found. And,
Of all the good things in it, the best
was service. True there were hot
days and restless nights, weary feet,
and now and then heartache. There
