EDITORIAL.

Ii is the trivial matters in life that
oftentimes result in great importance.
Wars, failures, deaths, and divorces are
largely preceded by incidents of what
NAV at the time be considered of
petty note, but which, eventually, cul-
inmate in the drastic. Of course, the
sum-total of these same trifling
troubles is commonly accepted to be
the true harbinger of the final effect
and the infinitesimal, but highly i'm
portant details are ignored or at least
deported to positions of little or no
rank in the subsequent analyses.
The phrase, zone little thing leads to
another is applicable in these cases.
Most wars can be directly traced to
some insignificant instance which
serves, at an opportune moment, to in
troduce the tragic crisis, which is gen.
orally attributed, until later years, to
more prominent appearing, but actual
ly less contributory causes.
A disillusioning failure Of an individ-
ual to succeed in whatever he may
undertake is often facilitated by one
comparatively trivial shortening
which looms largely above his other
projections in the critical eyes Of his
Judges. Because he has overlooked and
neglected a single, small detail, he has
lost everything. materially.
A man dies. Mr.. Jones says the cause
Of that mans demise was exposure; but
his apt physician can report that the
true factor responsible was diminu-
tive detail in the dead mans past
which the deceased individual failed tc
acknowledge.

! a faint gleam.
| The sound was repeated-oYni-
nous to one engaged in his occu-
patton, and feeling came to him
that he was not alone In the
chapel. His nerves were Injured by
many such adventures, and he had
no superstitious dread; but the
question OF discovery was another
matter and a more tangible dam
ger. He cast a rapid glance
round, and his quick eye noted
space in the apse behind the beau
tifully worked silk altar curtain.
Here he concealed himself, peer
ing round the corner into the dim
chapel. Suddenly he became rigid,
and stared at the floor in front Of
the altar steps. where thin band
of light had appeared. It grew
wider in jerks, and square Of
light showed as though a fagstone
were being pushed up until it stood
on end.
Reid gripped himself tightly
for below the chapel was the
crypt, and why should any living
thing come that way? Someone
else beside himself had business in
the chapel that night.
The light suddenly went out
without warning, and for a mo-
ment the darkness baf1ed him; but
he seemed to make out dim fig
ure emerging from below, and he
heard dull metallic boom as
though a heavy weight had been
dropped. He waited. peering into
the darkness, but could see MOTH
ing-yet his strained nerves sensed
that there was another in the
chapel with him, perhaps even now
stealing upon him.
Reid never carried any weapon
en- his expeditions, trusting to his
skill and agility How long he
waited ne never knew the strain
was getting so great that he had
almost made up his mind to make
a dash for it, when a faint sound,
the pad. pad of shutting feet,
broke the stiffness. Softly. in slow
progress, the steps came nearer
along the passage outside and
presently through the palpitating
darkness a glimmer of light
showed in the doorway of the
chapel. There was a pause; some
one was fumbling with the door
and then a food Of light. dazzling
in contrast to the darkness,
showed in the entrance.
Sir Henry Severinge stood there,
clothed only in paiamas, and hold
ing a silver candlestick in ms
hand. The man behind the altar
drew himself back and shuddered
at some nameless sense of horror.
Sir Henry came slowly up the
aisle, holding his candle steadily,
and moving in short. shutting
steps in his bedroom slippers. keiG
longed to shout-to warn him, but
MS tongue refused it's Office. He
could neither move nor speak. but
with Mortified eyes watched the
slow progress of the baronet as he
might have watched man going
to the gallows in a nightmare.
