straightened painfully, and got to his:
feet. He held the bundle in his thin
fingers, and glanced at his witnesses,
with a keen and curious eye. They
met his gaze, expectant, eager, draw: |
ing dry, hot breaths. Involuntarily, '
they extended their hands. Father
Daugherty looked at them, and a lit-
tle twinkle of amusement showed in|
the eyes that were wontedly so mild
“Would you?" he said.
The two aldermen hastily raised.
their hands, and together, in strange |
unison, wiped their brows. The room |
had suddenly grown hot for them, and |
their brows were wet, though Father
Daugherty was cool and composed, as |
he ever was. Yet they remembered; |
they could not so easily give up; it
was theirs by every right. They could
have cursed Jimmy just then for his
excessive caution. It was McQuirk’s |
quick mind that thought first.
“Maybe there's writing,” he said.
Father Daugherty looked long and
thoroughly, running his thin hand
deep into pigeon-holes and back into
the partitions, until the sleeves of his
shabby coat were pushed far up his
lean wrist.
“Not a scrap,” he said.
“Then, maybe—" But McQuirk drew
Bretzenger away, and they went into
the darkness that lay thick as dust
in the back of the long room. Meaa.
while, Father D-ugherty searched the
safe through and through. He found
nothing more. The strong-box had
had but one purpose, and it had served
it well. Then slowly, painfully, with
the clumsy, unaccustomed fingers that
had had small chance to count money,
be turned the packages over, counting
them carefully, wetting his trembling
fingers now and then. The man who
had drilled the safe stood looking om,
with eyes that widened more and
more.
" “How much is there, Father?” he
said, at length. He extended a grimy
forefinger hesitatingly, as if to touch
the package the priest balanced on his
thousand!” the man ex-
claimed. And then he added, in awe:
“Dollars! Doesn't look like that much,
does it?”
“No,” Father answered.

ther Daugherty went to the flat to see |
Annie, bearing the bundle, the original |
bundle, the bundle that had bought
the new gas franchise. Something of
the dramatic quality in the situation
had got into the old priest's heart
He knew that Annie would appreciate
it all so much better if she could see
the fortune, and feel it, and he would
let her do so for an instant before he
put it away in the safety deposit
vaults to await opportunity for its in:
vestment.
She looked at it long and long, ly:
ing there in the lap of her black gown.
She could not grasp the amount,
though the old priest, leaning forward,
with the enthusiasm of a boy shining
once more, after so many years, in
his hollow eyes, said over and over:
“Look at it, my child! Feel it!
It's fifty thousand dollars! And it's
all yours!”
She patted it, tenderly and affec
tionately, with a soft and reminiscent
caress, so that the priest knew that
it was not for anything that package
of money might hold for her in a
material way, then or afterward, buf
rather for what it gave back for a
moment to her desolated heart. And
the priest was glad of that, and there
after silent. He had had doubts. He
would feel better when the money had
passed out of his hands, and he
sometimes questioned whether if
would ever do good in any one's
hands. But he had a sense of humor,
too, a grim sense ‘in this instance,
when he thought of certain political
‘and financial circles, even if he did
dust his thin hands carefully with his
spotless handkerchief when he laid
the money down.
leave me all this! Oh, Jimmy, my
poor Jimmy!”

of Socrates. Whe does not recognize
at first glance the almost comic face
with its turn-up nose and utter ab
seace of the slightest ciaim to good
looks? We cannot help smiling at it
and yet when we think of the man,
the ugliness of his face becomes pa-
thetic. He worshiped beauty, his life
was devoted to teaching how life could
be made harmonious in every way and
such a nose must, in spite of his philo-
sophy, have been a constant trial to
him. His prayer was: “Grant me to
be beautiful in the inner man and all
I have of outward things to be at
peace with those within. May I count
the wise man only rich; and may my
store of gold be such as none but the
good can bear.”
He counted material wealth without
wealth of spirit a mockery and to have
outward beauty without inward beauty
was to be an imposter. All the same,
to have one’s inward beauty so denied
by one's face must have been very an-
noying and our smile at Socrates may
well be mixed with a little sympathy.
Have Analyzed Gases.
By the use of a new German instru-
ment, which takes the index of refrac
tion of mixed gases, Haber and Lowe
are able to find the amount of carbon
dioxide and methane contained in
mine gases, The method is also use
ful in many other cases, such as for
gas or
anhydride in the gases coming from
pyrites roasting, as well as percent:
ages of ozone in the air. They are
also able to check the purity of hydro

lieved that it was far more healthful |
to wear his head shaven, except at
the top of his head, and let it grow in |
long mass to be braided. One be- |
a
| lief was that wearing the hair in this
manner increased the circulation of
blood in the brain and therefore made
the Chinaman healthier and keener.

queue could be braided about the
head, giving the protection of a thick
warm cap. And in extremely hot
weather the queue was again braided |
about the top of the head, this time to |
protect the wearer from sunstroke.
The long queue is also used as a
sort of neck-cloth, to wrap about the
culiar uses attributed to it is in sud-
den illness or injury, especially in the
old days of warfare when swords were
the general weapons. Then it was |
used as a turnijuet to bind about the
injury and prevent too great a loss
of blood.
It was for these reasons as well as
for any reasons of sentiment or relig-
fon that the Chinamen hesitated 80 |
long before agreeing to sacrifice their | =
queues, but it is evident that the cus-
tom of wearing queues was not what
might be termed a “foolish habit,” as |
it was really made to serve a number |
of uses. |

Fable of a Dog That Misunderstood.
Once there was a motley little yel-
low dog that was picked up in the
street by a kind man. The man, feel- |
ing sorry for him and being atrald |
no one else would be good to such
a homely cur, kept him and bought
him a handsome collar and treated
him so well that the dog soon began
to strut and grew very proud and
vain.
“Surely,” he said to the house cat,
“I must be a very fine dog to be so
much admired and petted,” and with
that he began to bark at the solemn
old Persian cat, which ignored him
entirely.
“She is rather a well trained old
thing,” thought the dog. “She knows
enough not to talk back to her bet.
ters.”
Then he ran out in the street and
barked at a beautiful horse that was
passing the house, but neither the
driver nor the horse paid any atten-
tion to him.
“Ah,” said the dog, “I must be a
very fine dog, indeed—they, too, real
ize they must not reprove their su- |
periors.”
Moral: To the conceited all signs
are compliments.
