the fashion to belittle Napoleon III.

defamatory legends by which they
have been crowded
Princess Bibesco, who was Miss
Elizabeth Asquith, Is almost as IA
miliar with French literature as she
is with English literature. II is for
this reason that she has been asked
to write an introduction to the Eng

coming book. 1t is the memoirs Of
the Comtesse de Brigode, who was
Princess de Chimay, distinguished
figure in the fashionable and political
life Of her generation.
A brother author on meeting NJ
Pierre Lott for the first time asked
him if he had read a certain book OF
Bourgeois. NO" he replied, but

never read anything, not even Cha

called my master" But" exclaimed
the other man, surely you've read
Montaigne, Moliere, La Fontaine?"

with all of the years of his youth
spent in baseball he was a derelict

and conducting a billiard parlor he
made an effort to capitalize the
glamor of his name and of course
it failed. In vaudeville he did bet

ample evidence of the fact that a

work or play in groups; to be with
other children initiating or joining
in their activities, gives incentive
to Sunday school work.
The Sunday school carries on a
regular and systematic course of
bible study, adapted to the ages of
children, and presenting the most
suitable bible material in an at
tractive form.
A visit to a live modern Sunday
school in the average church would
be means OF enlightenment and
surprise to many. Hand work,
simple songs and rhythm for little
children; and home work class
competition, and even dramatics
and pageantry for the older ones,
have been the means of making BIZ
BILE study delightful, attractive. and
absolutely indispensable to our chill
dren.
There are ways in which we par
ents can and ought to cooperate
with the Sunday school. Our chill
dren can learn to be punctual and
regular. We should show our in
terest in their progress and exper-
fences. How proud they would be
if father or mother would also go
to SUNDAY school, perhaps to the

GO ON WITH THE STORY.

A slight gasp travelled over the
lips of Medaine, still by the window.
Ba'tiste, his features old and lined,
reached out with one big hand and
patted the man on the shoulder
Then for long time, there was
silence.
''Eet is the lie, eh?"
"Ba'tiste," Houston turned ap-
pealingly to him, "as l live, that S
all 1 know. 1 never saw Langdon
after he took that mallet from me.
Only one shred of evidence was
presented in my behalf 1t was by
a woman who had worked for about
six months for my father-Miss
Jierdon. She testified to having
passed in a taxicab just at the end
of our quarrel, and that Langdon
had the mallet."
Miss .Jierdon is the same one
who is out here?"
Yes"
"She testified in your behalf?"
Yes. And Miss Robinette, if
you'll only talk to her-if you'll
only ask her about it, she'll tell you
the story exactly as I've told it. She
trusted me; she was the only
bright spot in. all the blackness. I

Would you guarantee the truth

A Man and His Reputation.

When Adrian C.-But he despised
that appellation-"Pop" Arson
passed on to seat on the players
bench in the Elysian Fields, he
took with him a wealth of admira-
ton and respect that long will live
in American memory. Pop" An
son dead taught a lesson in man
hood to his countrymen generally
but to the sporting world sin par
ticular The newspapers of the
nation have not been slow in point
ing this out in their editorial col
umns.
After all 'it is not for his bat
ting average that he is remem-
bered," points out the Milwaukee
Journal. He played during the
formative years of baseball and his
principle of Play the Game; Play
Hard; Play Squared" helped tc
make it the great American sport
Who shall say what the country
owes to Pop Arson? If our boys in
their sports play the game, hard
and square, that is the way they
are likely to play the game OF
life" The debt that baseball owes
to this dead man is emphasized by
the New York Herald, which re-
calls that his colorful personality
and his skill did much toward
making baseball what it has be-
come" And then, there were
great men before Ty Cobb and Babe
Ruth, the New York Times suggests
in that "at least there was Arson
He was good at many sports. He
had a voice in his impassioned mo-
ments like one hundred bulls OF
Bashan. He was good deal of a
character, decent citizen, as Mr.
Roosevelt would say, and in the
chronicles of baseball one of the
great epic figures"
In his career Arson, in the opiu-
ion of the Pittsburgh Leader, "typi-
fed the soul, the spirit, the incar-
nation of the game he did so much
to populariZe 1t was more than
Anson's marvellous athletic ability,
his disconcerting menace to an OPP
posing pitcher as a batsman, his
generalship on the playing field,
that made his figure bulk so pom
derously-it was the many manly
qualities developed through con-
slant exercise to an extraordinary
degree.
Only One Arson.
The game has had a host of other
great players but-there was only
one Arson. AS a man and citizen
his life and character was as adj
mirable as in that of great ath-
lete and leader of athletes" In ex-
employing in his life the advant-
ages of clean living he also, as the
Boston Post recalls, was a friend
of the beginner who showed prom
Use, and was the loyal comrade OF
the men of his own age. His man
hood average was the finest thing
about him. BY the old boys he
will be missed and long held in

No little child should be with
odt religious training, for it is as
essential to the balance and beau
tiful growth OF his character as the
proper food IS to his body. This
training can be given in the home
and in the Sunday school, Both
are excellent means, and should
supplement- each other, for it Is
whea these two institutions work
together that the child receives the
highest benefit
Because of the ease with which
the child learns, and the capacity
TO retain even unto old age what
was learned in childhood, religious
training should begin early. DO
not say, "0h, when my boy is old
enough TO decide for himself l will
let him choose his church" You do
not leave his manners until then,
SO why his morals? High ideals
ana good moral code are more
easily formed in his plastic years
The child is naturally an imitator
and hero worshipper. The stirring
stories Of bible heroes and the ap-
pilcaton of the truths of the great
old bible stories go far toward
helping him formulate the rules
which are to govern his own &C
uons now and in later life.
The parents in the home are the
ones whose high privilege it is to
oegin their children's religious
training. 1t is pity that SO many,
through thoughtlessness or neglect
or false sense of unfitness, neglect
ms sweet duty. The Sunday
school next should take up and
help to broaden and develop the
ehlld's religious experience.
There are several ways in which
me Sunday school does its work
httle better than the same work
can be done at home. In the hrst

Fate had seen fit to mold the ii

Fate had seen fit to mold the life
of
BARRY HOUSTON into tragic
molds. Tried for the murder of
his cousin,
TOM LANGDON, and acquitted be-
cause of favorable testimony of
AGNES JIERDON, Houston's father
dies without regaining faith in
his son. He leaves Barry timber
holdings in Tabernacle only on
condition that a high output be
maintained.
Mysterious accidents in the mill
have prevented this and Houston,
arriving from Boston, finds that he
has been betrayed by his mill
superintendent,
FRED THAYER. Houston dis
charges Thayer. First the mill
is burned down and then Houston
is deprived, by a forged lease, of
the rights to his timber lands.
With the aid of
BA'TISTE RENAUD, an eccentric
French-Canadian, whose life has
been saddened by the double
tragedy of his sons death in
France and the unsolved murder
of his wife, Houston continues
the fight. During his stay in
Tabernacle, Houston has been al
tracted by
MEDAINE ROBINETTE, owner of
neighboring timber lands. He
tells her that Thayer's statement
that he was accused of murder is
true
