noise, it's kind of hard to hear any,

doors shut. Besides, he's got to keep

"Then go on in there. Hurryl"
The obedient Verman marched into
the closet and sat down among the
shoes and slippers, where he presented
an interesting effect of contrast. He
was still subject to hilarity-though
endeavoring TO suppress it by means
of a patent-leather slipper-when
Penrod closed the door.
"Therel" said Penrod, leading the
way from the room. II guess now

Sam said nothing, and they came
out to the open air, and reached their
retreat in the Williams yard again,
without his having acknowledged PEN

"Why would it," Sam asked. "Why

"just for the main and simple rea-

Sam could bear 1t no longer.

Italy Home of PerqoIa.

The idea of the pergola was Dor.
rowed from Italy, and many of the
best planned pergolas follow an Ital.
ian model. They may be solidly built
with brick or stone pillars, either
square or round, or sometimes with
these alternating; in this case the
flooring is generally Of brick or ran.
dom jointed stone work. These solid
pillars form a good foundation for
rambler roses of all kinds, or festOOns
of clematis, honeysuckle and wistaria.
Very generally, however, the pergOla
is of lighter construction, and, in this
case, larch poles are often used. Care
should be taken to choose strong poles
and to see that the prevailing slope
of the cross bars is up rather than
down, as otherwise they sag in the
center in an unsightly way. These
pergolas are not such enduring posses
sion as the more solid ones, but the
cost is much smaller, and they soon
become beautiful, since most rambler
roses are so free-growing as to hide
the framework in u short time. Much
depends upon the type of house and
garden, the simpler pergolas being bet
ter suited to the cottage, while Tagged
walks, with piers Of brick or stone
seem more in keeping with the larger
and more stately dwellings.

Chinese Tablet on Broadway.

A bronze tablet with queer letters
inscribed on it is displayed in a ON
spicuous place on the iron fence of
st. Paul's chapel, at Broadway and
Fulton street. 1t is about six feet
from the ground and about ten feet
north of Fulton street.
Thousands of persons daily pass the
corner. Those who have seen the
tablet stopped and stared at it. The
only letters d%iscernible to them were
% Vesey street, which were on the
bottom of the tablet. The explanation
of its presence is that st. Paul's chapel
maintains a Sunday school for Chinese
at 20 Vesey street.
The selection of that particular place
for the tablet was due to the fact that
many Cinnamon on their way to Jer-
sey City on Sunday pass the Broad
way side of the church and turn at
Fulton street to the Hudson tubes.

"You Get in There, verman."

and sprang upon Penrod, catching him
round the waist. simultaneously with
this impact, the wooden swords spun
through the air, and were presently
trOdden underfoot as the two boys
wrestled to and fro.
Penrod was not altogether surprised
by the onset of his friend. He had
been ware of Sans increasing irrita-
ton (though neither boy could have
clearly stated its cause), and that very
irritation produced a corresponding
emotion in the bosom of the i~rritator.
Mentally, Penrod was quite ready for
the confiict-nay, he welcomed it
though, for the first few moments,
Sam had the physical advantage.
However, it is proper that a neat
distinction be drawn here. This was
n conflict, but neither technically nor
in the intention of the contestants was
1t a fight. Penrod and Sam we're both
in a state of high evaporation, and
there was great bitterness; but no
blows fell and no tears. They
strained, they wrenched, they twisted,
and they painted, and muttered: "Oh,
no, you don'tw "oh, 1 guess 1 do ~
"Oh, you will, will your" You'll see
what you get in about u minute /" 81
guess you'll learn some sense this
time |"
Streaks and blotches began to ap-
pear upon the two faces, where color
had been heightened by the ardent APP
pllcation of a cloth sleeve or shoulder,
while ankles and insteps were scraped
and toes were trampled. Turf and
strawberries suffered, also, as the strug-
gle went on, until finally the wrestlers
pitched headlong into a young lilac
bush, and came to earth together,

the leader ascertained, by a recon
naissance as far rs the corner that
the hostile forces were still looking for
them in another direction. He re-
turned in a stealthy but important
manner to his %disgruntled follower
and the hilarious captive.
"Well," said Sam impatiently, 81

here all day, I guessl You got any
thing you want to do, why'n't you go
on and do it?"
Periods brow was already comfort
ed to present the appearance of de-
tached and lofty concentration his
trionic failure, since it did not deceive
he audience. He raised a hushing
hand.
"Shp he murmured. II got to

"Bugs!" said the impolite Mr.. VIII

Verman bent double, %squealing and

forced to sit upon the ground, so ex-

"Oh, 1 guess you won't laugh quite
so much about a minute from now, ole

"You get up from there and do like

"Well, why'n't you tell him why he
won't laugh SO much, then?' Sam de-
manded, as verman rose. "Why'n't
you do something and quit talkin' so
much about it?"
Penrod haughtily led the way into
the yard.
you follow me-" he said, land I
guess you'll learn a little sense |"
Then, abandoning his hauteur for
an air of mystery equally irritating to
Sam, he stole up the steps of the
porch, and after a moments manipu-
lation of the knob of the big front
door, contrived to operate the fasten-
lngs, and pushed the door open.
"Come on" he whispered, beckon-
ing. And the three boys mounted the
stairs to the floor above In silence
save for a belated giggle on the part
of Verman, which was restrained upon

a terrible gesture from Penrod. Yer
man buried his mouth as deeply as
possible In n ragged sleeve, and con-
fined his demonstrations to a heaving
of the stomach and diaphragm.
Penrod led the way into the dainty
DON of his nineteen-year-old sister,
Margaret, and closed the door.
"There," he said, in n low and
husky voice, 81 expect you'll see what
I'm goin' to do now"

Sam. 'If we stay here very long your
motherll come and send us down

"Wait, can't your" Penrod walled,
in a whisper. "My goodnessl !" And
going to an inner door, he threw 1t
open, disclosing a clothes-closet hung
with pretty garments of many kinds,
while upon its floor were two rows of
shoes and slippers of great variety
and charm.
A significant thing is to be re.
marked concerning the door of this
somewhat intimate treasury; there
was no knob or latch upon the inner
side, so that, when the door was
closed, 1t could be opened only from
the outside.

Poetry by the Foot,

The following letter a received
by the principal Of a continuation
school Somewhere in Canada" from
an indignant mother who felt that her
boy had been overworked:
MY son writes me hal he has to
study too hard. He says that you
give him 80 hexameters of Latin a
day. 1 looked up hexameters and
found that 1t is a poetic verse of six
feet. Now that means 300 feet or 100
yards of poetry that my son has to
translate each day. / think about half
a hexameter, that is, 36 inches, is
enough for a boy of his age to trans
late.

Doctrines Of NIetzsche.

The two doctrines most often asso'
ciated with Nietzsche's name, though
they are not essential to his ethics
r those of the superman and the
eternal recurrence. The first is the
end and justification of human strug-
gle, and in the earlier books is repre-
sented AS a mythical product of the
individual will, while later it is de-
scribed as a higher species with the
relationship to man that man has 10
the ape. The eternal recurrence Is
the theory, by no means new, mat
present events but form a part OF an
infinite cycle and thus will be emu
lessly repeated in every detail. HIS
theories have been much discussed
and have exercised an unlocked tol
influence, especially among men ~,
terested primarily in art or in socioI
reform; and many consider them lHe
logical outcome and application OF oar
winism.

Now Penrod was on top, now Sam !;
they rolled. they squirmed, they suf-
fered. And this contest endured. 1t
went on and on, and it was impossible
to imagine its coming to a definite
termination. 1t went on so long that,
to both the participants, 1t seemed to
be a permanent thing, a condition

must always exist perpetually.

and charged down upon them with
loud cries of triumph.
"Pris'ner! Pris'nerl Bonded pris'-

touched Penrod and Sam, each in turn,

they paid no attention and that they
were at his mercy, he recalled the

stages of the game, both of them had
been unnecessarily vigorous in touch

Therefore, the opportunity being ex-
c%ellent, he raised his weapon again,

used the fiat of the saber.
