The question cf religion came up the thcr day in the Busy Men's Lunch club, and Old Parmesan, who Is senior warden of St. Pecunla's church and then-fore constitutes himself a de fender of the faith, remurked, "Y, may say what you like, gentlemen, but a religious man is more apt to help those who need It than an infidel." "I am a tirni lieliever in Christiani ty," remarked F.ilson, who has made million or so in the Swamp during the Last few years, "but I take exception to that statement. When It comes to helping a fellow who is down. It's about an even toss between a Chris tian aud an InfldeL You doubt It?" he continued as he saw old Parmesan shake his head. "Well, to prove what 1 say I will pive you an episode in my owu life. I came to New York In 1S73 with no capital but a country made snit of clothes and a common school education. I was a lank looking young fellow, with 'hayseed' written ail over me; but. like many another raw coun try lad. I was irresistibly attracted to the city, where I soon expected to strike the combination that would lead to fortune and fame. But liefore long L:y main thought was to keep from starving. I could pet no work, and no body would listen to me when I asked for it. I tried to keep up my courage, but in my heart 1 would have given anvthing to be bark on the old farm a pain. "Well, one day I grew especially des perate. The papers were full of the triumphant sucuss of 'Billy, the Con verted Bum.' wi:o was holding revivals all over the country. And 1 asked my self why I. a clean, decent young fel low, who hr.d never Ik-cu a "bum." should be allowed to starve, while Billy was living on the fat of the laud. At first the wild thought came Into my head to start out myself on career of cr I mean of revivalism un der the name of "Charley, the Con verted Boy Fiend." and rake in the shekels like 'Billy But somehow I felt I couldn't pet down as low t;s that. A brilliant thought struck me. how ever. I would state the whole thing in nu advertisement, more to relieve my feelings than with any l:oie of getting an answer. So I scraped enough money topethet to insert the following in one of the 1'njK'rs: 'If I were a drunken "bum Just taken out cf the gutter, scores of kind religious people would stretch out a baud to help me. But as I am only a decent and self respiting youn man. with no vices or bad habits. I am without work and starving iu this preat. cruel city. And I added my initials and address. "The next day I called to see If there might possibly be an answer aud got two. The first one I opened read as follows: I was touched by your strange advertisement, as I myself was once in the same xsitiou.

Ask to see me ierso:ially. as I am sorry to s.ty my partner is an in fidel, cud. though a pool man. he might net le disftosed tj look at your I case so kindlv. "My bean jumped with Joy on read inp lli is kind letter, aud for a little while 1 forgot the other one. But I socti opened it and read as follows: '1 was de'-ply stirred by the undertone of despair in your advertisement, as I was once as friendless as you are.

And if you will call aud see me I will prove to you that there Is an unbeliever who Is both able and will ing to pive you a start in life if yon are worthy. Ask to see me ersoually, as my partner is a Christian, and. though a pood man. In- might uot be disjioscd to look on your case kindly. "Wonderful coincidence, wasn't It? But the most wonderful part of the story is yet to be told. These two men were partners. Bach one cf them was trying to do a good deed without the knowledge of the other. -Tia end of the story? WelL that was interesting and remarkable too. After trying In vain to decide to which of these two gentlemen I should make myself known 1 determined to see tneni together and read the two letters to them. I did so. and you ought to have seen the took of blank surprise that came over tlie faces of both men as they learned that, though differing co widely in creed, they were at one in acknowledging the religion of humani ty. They were silent for a few mo ments, and then the Christian, with tears la Lis eyes, grasped the hand ot his partner and s.-id: "Brother. I have wionped yon. for I have learned that, without knowing it you are not far from the kingdom cf heaven." It Is I who have wronged yon. ex claimed his partner, "in assuming that you would not obey the teaching of your Master to feed the hungry and clothe the naked.

They had made tev eral rushes and when observed were at close quarters, striking each othei IKiwcrful side blows like cavalrymen. This was unsatisfactory, and finally they separated and darted at each oth er like arrows, the water hissing as their sharp dorsal Cns cut through it. They evidently struck head ou. one missing, while the sword of the other struck Just below the eye and plowed a deep furrow in the fish, pi.vly dis abling It, so that It turned and attempt ed to escape.
