of about twenty-five feet of garden

was introduced into the shack through

by wire, round the faucet of a hydrant
in the stable. Thus, if members of the

discovered. also, that the section of

and though it did prove necessary to
explain by shouting outside the tube
what one had said into it, still there
was general feeling that it provided
another means of secrecy and an addi-
tional safeguard against intrusion. 1t

success of the latter party, the shack
became too damp for habitation until
another day. and several members, as
they went home at dusk, might easily
have been mistaken for survivors of
some marine catastrophe.
Still, not every shack is equipped
with running water, and eXuberancc
hefitted the occasion. Everybody
agreed that the afternoon had been
one of the most successful and impor-
tant in many weeks. The Order of the
In-Or-In was doing splenddly; and yet
every brother felt, in his heart, that
there was one thing that could spoil it.
Against that fatality, all were united
To protect themselves, the shack, the

Experience Net Gained by Pursuit, but
Comes to One Who Does Kind
Deed Without Thinking of 1t.

Those who seek happiness never find
it-a truism that has been going the
rounds since philosophers began get
ting their words into print or upon
craven tablets. observes the Dayton
News But it is we'll to repeat it Oc-
casionally, to keep it ever before the
masses of humanity, that it may be-
come so much a part of our creed and
faith that the youngest among us and
the oldest may realize the full meaning
of the expression.
There is no greater uRhappiness
than that of pursuing happiness, for
happiness is never Oyertaken by those
who pursue it. Happiness comes TO
him who is not thinking of it; to him
who is doing something for others,
with never Il thought of his own hap
pinesS. No man has ever yet followed
Il course Of conduct with his own hap
pineSs in view and achieved his pur-
pose.
Service to othcrS-that is all there
is to life that savors of happiness. The
service need not be great it is given
TO few persons to be Of great service.
And those who are of great service do
not realize it-thcy do not start out
with that in view.
To be kind and courteous and con
Sideratc of the comfort of others-that
is the service which brings happiness.
The man who helps crippled OLD
woman uDOn the street car iS bappipr
for doing so. The fellow who stops to
wipe away the tear from the eyes of
Il child who bruised its hand the wOm-
an who visits sick neighbor to see If
she can be of any use; the man who
puts another in position to help him
self-these little services are quite
great in the realm of things that go to
make for happiness. And they are
possible with all of us.

Platinum Substitutes.

Since the development of "palau,"
the palladium-gold substitute for plat
mum, trials have been made with mix
lures of these two metals in varying
proportions. The alloy containing 60
to 80 per cent of gold is to be known
as "rhotanium," and has a specific
gravity of 1G to 1875, is malleable and
ductile and can be welded without fiux
or other agent 1t proves entirely
satisfactory for most chemical and
electrical purposes for which platinum
is used, though it is not suitable for
use with. hot concentrated nitric acid,
nor for electrolytic anOdes. For jew
elry it is thought to be even superior to
platinum, as ii Is harder"and stronger
and takes better finish and it has
practically the, same color, can be
worked as readily and does not tarn-
ish or corrode.

There Was Something Different and Spiritual About George

parental comment during moments of
strained patience in many homes, 50
that altogether the most remarkable
fact to be stated of George Bassett is
that he escaped the consequences as
long as he did.
Strange as it. may seem, no actual
violence was done him except upon the
incidental occasion of tar fight, into
which he was drawn by an obvious &C.
centricity on the part of destiny. Nat
urally, he was not popular with his
comrades; in all games he was pushed
aside, and disregarded, being invaria-
bly, the tail-enGer in every pastime in
which leaders "choSe Sides" his coun-
sells were sighted as worse than
weightless, and all his opinions instant
ly hooted. Still, considering the cir
cumstances fairly and thoughtfully, it
is difficult to deny that his boy com
paniOns showed creditahle moderation
in their treatment of him. That is, they
were moderate up to certain date,
and even then they did not directly at
tack him-there was nothing cold
hooded about 1t at all. The thing was
forced upon them, and, though they all
felt pleased and uplifted-while it was
happening-they did not understand
precisely why. Nothing could more
clearly prove their innocence of heart
than this very ignorance, and yet none
of the grown people who later felt
themselves concerned in the matter
was able to look at it in that light.
Now, hel was characteristic working
of those reactions which produce what
is sometimes called ''the injustice of
life," because the grown people were
responsible for the whole affair, and
We're really the guilty parties It was
from grown people that Gergie Bassett
learned that he was a boy set apart,

George BaSsett was u boy set apart
Not only that; George knew that he
was boy set apart. He would think
about it for ten or twenty minutes at Il
time, and he could not look at himself
in a mirror and remain wholly without
emotion. What that emotion was, he
would have been unable to put into
words, but it helped him to understand
that there was certain noble some
thing about him which other boys did
not possess.
Georges mother had been the first
to discover that George was boy set
apart. In fact, George did not know
1t until one day, when he happened to
overhear his mother telling his aunts
about it. True, he had always under
stood that he was the best boy in town
and he intended to be a minister when
he grew up, but he had never before
Comprehended the full extent of his
sanctity, and, from that fraught mo-
ment onward, he had an almost the
atrical sense of his set-apartness.
Penrod Schofield and Sam Williams
and the other boys Of the neighborhood
all were conscious that there was
something different and spiritual about
George, and, though this conscious
ness of theirs may have been a little OBJ
scure. it was none the less actual. That
is to say, they knew that George Bas-
sett was boy set apart, but they did
not know that they knew 1t. Georges

character became the topic of cnvi0us

I brought down from the attic quietly,
though. as he said, it wasn't any use
on earth up there" There were two
lame chairs from Penrod's attic, and
along one wall ran low and feeble
structure intended to serve as a bench
or divan. This would come in handy,
Sam said. if any of the party "had to
lay down or anything" and at a pinch
(such as a meeting of the association
it would serve to seat all the members
in row.
For, coincidentally with the develop
ment of the shack, the builders became
something more than partners. Later,
no one could remember who first sug-
gested the founding of a secret order
or society, as a measure of exclusive
ness and to keep the shack sacred to
members only, but it was an idea that
presently began to be more absorbing
and satisfactory than even the shack
itself. The outward manifestations Of
it might have been observed in the in
creased solemnity and preoccupation
of the Caucasian members and in
few ceremonial observances exposed
to the public eye. AS an instance of
these latter, Mrs. Williams, happen
ing to glance from q rearward window,
about four o'clock one afternoon, found
her attention arrested by what seemed
to be a fiag-raising before the door of
the shack. Sam and Herman and Yer
man stood in attitudes of rigid atten-
tion shoulder to shoulder, while Pen
rod Schofeld, facing them, was APP
parently delivering some sort Of ex-
hortation which he read from q scrib-
bled sheet of foolscap. Concluding
this, he lifted from the ground long
and somewhat warped clothes-prop,
from one end of which hung whitish
flag, or pennon, bearing an inscription.
