He turned toward the beach for a
solitary stroll. Perhaps his thoughts
were not the most cheerful. The plea-.
ant mouth under the dark mustache
was not smiling so agreeably now, and
the frank blue eyes, usually merry, '
were darkened till they seemed almost
black, "ion are a fool, Julian King,"
he said to himself, candidly.
And he had thought the same thing
last year, also.
As time passed Julian King was one
day presented to Misa Dane. He had
not sought an introduction had rather
tried to avoid it, and while ther met
occasionally there was a peculiar chilli
ness about the manner of each, an in-
tuitive recognition of aversion, though breezes, the dreamy music, the beauty

in any manner unbecoming a gentle- ing thought.
man.
The hotel was ringing with the gossip
of Miss Helen Dane's beauty, hei
sweetness, her grace and gowns. Money
in plenty was the accompaniment oi
this Western beanty. An aunt from
Boston, intellectual and also wealthy,
chaperoned her lovely niece. Julian
King heard the gossip whispered by
the breezes. A favorite at the hotel,
his yacht, his horses and his good
nature were usually to bo depended
on. The girls all liked him and the
match-making mammas were extremely
affable. Bnt while his amiability wu
unvaried, his susceptibility seemed
non-existent. Beyond a genial friend
liners his manner flatly declines to be
coaxed.
There was one day in each week
which he spent in town on plea oi
business. Nothing would induce him
to forego this, nor to put off his affairs
till next day. Thursdays were Julian
King's town days.
One of the last yachting parties o!
the season was got up by Mrs. Burton,
King's especial friend, who called her
self his chaperoue. It was to be par
ticularly pleasant and was as well
planned as usual. But, alas ! on the
Wednesday appointed a storm came
np in the morning and prevented the
party. Great was the discomfiture oi
the would-be sailors.
"Xever mind," said King; go to
morrow. "It will surely be clear."
"And you will be here?" asked Mrs.
Burton.
"So," he said. "But that need not

Kemain he would not, though they she, Mr. King?"

A child across the aisle was swing

noticed it. A face rising from the
mists of yellow gauze, a sweet, proud
face, was framed upon the background
jf the woman in black. When the
train reached the station he pulled
himself up with a ierk.'
"Shallow?" he had been thinking.
"And frivolous?"
The throng at the station, and ths

through as quickly as possible, put
other thoughts and visions speedily

This was the important business which
called him to the city each week, and
nothing ever came before it, or was
permitted to interfere with the
pleasure of hie West Wharf guests.
The happiness of the yachting party
from the hotel was surely not equal to
the happiness of Julian King's party.
There was one mother who was
worrying over her son. He was ill in
the hospital.
"An' such a good b'y, orr," she
jaid. "He's always bin good to bis

was a morning of happiness to the
poor child. He forgot his pain listen

King brought him beautiful fruit, and
told him about the trip they would
take on the water when Patsy became
well again.
"An' that'll be'trrettv soon. I anem."
said Patsy, wistfully watching his visi-.
tor's face. j
When King returned to Patsy in the
afternoon someone was at the bedside,
a figure in black. King did not wish
t to intrude, so he stood beside a window,
and presently the lady rose and passed
to the other end of the dormitory.
King came directly to Patsy.
"1'ou seen her. didn't ye?" asked ,
Patsy, his eyes shining. "That's Mist '

roses at her waist, she was a far sweetei
vision than the Helen Dane In her ele-

"An ain't she pretty, Mr. King?"

agrees with a sick child.
Patsy did not grow stronger. It
was one autumn day when Julian King
went up to see him. He was alone,
and lay with closed eyes, looking very
weak, indeed. King put down the
phrysanthemums he had brought, a
great pink and crimson blot on the
white coverlid.
Patsy opened his eye) and smiled
faintly. "Thank ye, Mr. King," b

How Td Taylor, a, Member ot the Gal.
lut 18U jr. T-, I., FlnjOly
Found What Re Has Sought
Since the War Close.
(JVowi the AMobulo, Ohio, Beacon.")
Mr. Fred Taylor was born and brought up
near Zlmlra, N. T., and from there enlisted
in the 189th regiment, N. T., V. L, witi
whioh he went through the war and saw
muoh hard servioe. Owing to exposure and
hardships during- the serrloe, Mr Taylor con
tracted ohronlo diarrhoea, from which he has
suffered now over thirty years, with abso
lutely no help from physicians. By nature
he was a wonderfully vigorous man. Had
be not been, his rtls.-a4 and the experiments
of the doctors had killed him long ago.
Laudanum was the only thing which afford-
d him relief. He had terrible headaches,
his nerves were shattered, he oould not sleep
an hour a day on an average, and he was re
lueed to a skeleton. A year ago he and his
wife sought relief In a change ot climate and
removed to Gentva, Ohio: bnt the change in
health came not. Finally, on the recom
mendation of F. J. Hoffner, tne leading drag-

was persuaded to try a box.
"As a drowning
man grasps a straw, so I took the pills." sbts
Mr. Taylor, but with no more hope of
rescue. But after thirty years of suffering
and fniitlfws search for relief 1 at last foun-1
it In Ir. Williams' Pink Pills. The day after I
took the first pills I commenced to feel better,
and when I had taken the first box I was iu
fact a new man." That was two months agi.
Mr. Taylor has since taken more of the pilli
and his progress is steady, -and he has the
utmost confidence In them. He has regained
full control of his nerrea and sleeps ns well
as in his yonth. Color is coming back to his
parched veins and he Is gaining flesh and
strength rapidly. He is now able to do con
siderable outdoor work.
As he eonoluded narrating his sufferings

add her testimony in favor of Pink PlH.i.
To the pills alone is due the credit of rais

Mr. and Mrs. Taylor cannot find words to ex

Voltaire and Polichinelle.
The first use of the word "niarlon
ttc" In France (In the sense of a popu
lar Bhow) occurs In a book of stories by
O. Boiv-tiPt, T.ii!ch nppe:ircil Iu loS-l,
but neither l'olichinelle nor Dame Gl
gogne seem to have established them
selves upon the boards of the puppet
stage before 1640, though living repre
sentatives of both charaoters had loni;
been popular. Pulclnclla, transformed
Into ToIIchlnelle, becomes a typical lit
tle Frenchman of the Gascon type,
boastful. Jovial and vivacious.
The repertory of puppet plays per
formed at the fairs seems to have been
of a highly ambitious character, such
pieces as "Le Eavlssement dTIelene,"
"L'Enlevement de Proserpine," and
even a parody of Mol lore's "Medecln
Malgre Lul being favorites with tho
public. Such writers aa Favart, riron,
and Lesage did not disdain to devote
their talents to the service of the mar
ionette theater, which gradually be
came a permanent feature of the boule
vards. The puppets were also welcome
guests In both aristocratic and literary
circles. Even at Clrey we find them
performing before M. Voltaire and tb4
Intellectual Mme. du Chatelet
Mme. do Graffigny, while staying at
Clrey In 1738, writes to a friend that
she has Just been present at a perform
ance of "IEnfant rrodigne" by a
troupe of marionettes, which has mads
ber die of laughter. Voltaire had sol
emnly declared that he was Jealous of
the little actors, and thar their pleco
was very good. The lady is charmed to
find that a great philosopher like Vol.
talre can appreciate such trifles, and
observes that he Is a good fellow as
veil as a saae. The Cornhill AfarBxina.
Is tbs Pope a Statesman?
JThe Pope most certa Dly la B
statesman, and take9 very bigh rank
among the statesmen of the day.
The difference between a statesman
and a politician Is defined eplgram
matlcally, and therefore not abso
lutely correct, to be this: That a
statesman has a policy, a politician
has a scheme. Assuming this, foi
lack of a better, we find that Mr.
Gladstone has a policy, Lord Sails
bury has not; the Pope has a policy,
the Emperor of Germany has one, the
Emperor of Russia has. It Is not
success that makes a statesman, for
Calhoun was one, though he waa not
sucoaaful; and Gladstone only recently
has attained success. It Is not pos
sible to sar who the two principal
statesmen of the day are. Probably
Mr. Gladstone may stand for one of
them; who the other Is must remain
t tn open question. ,

advice of One Who Learned HU Lea
son Well.
"To" begin with," said Chauncey X
Do pew when asked the other day tc
talk about success, "here's a Btory. A
minister came to my office the othei
day and said that he had an engage
ment to lecture up the State, but had
no money to pay car fare to his desti
nation. He said he could not eves
afford to pay a clergyman's half rate,
and be- asked me to give him a past
In order that he might not disappoint
bis audience and lose his small fee
Before I gave It to htm, I asked whal
the subject of his lecture was, and h
said proudly, 'I am to talk, sir, on IIow
to Make Money.'
"Now that lecture represents the
theorists who generally enlighten th
world upon the essentials of a careei
or the elements of success. No ou
has so many theorlos about the carq
of children as an old maid. Practical
men who have achieved success rarelj
talk about it for the reason that, at
there Is no royal road to learning, st
there Is no royal road to success.
"There are twenty-five lawyers In
New York whose professional Income It
from $100,000 to $300,000 a year. Ther
are at least 100 other lawyers, equally
well equipped and with as much abil
ity as the highly paid men, who find
It very difficult to earn enough to sup
port their families in the most modest
and unassuming way. This Illustra
tion from the legal profession extends
to all walks of business and profession
al life. It demonstrates that equip
ment and training for ths work and
ability to perform It are not the only
requisites of success. Lock has mucb
to do with It and yet the majority of
successful men have reached phenom
enal positions In spite of luck. Shak
speare wisely said, 'There Is a tide In
the affairs of men, which, taken at the
flood, leads on to fortune.' It Is only
the gifted few who divine the tide and
Its course.
"No man Is successful and continues
so unless he has the basis of hard
common sense and added to that must
be a superior natural Intelligence, vig
orous bealtn, a strong constitution,
good habits, and Indomitable Industry.
And then, the man who wishes to be
successful must make up his mind to
work hard. True, some of the hardest
working men are not successful; but
they lack the other qualities; and
ninny failures In life of really hard
working, conscientious men are due
to tho want of foresight, which Is,
especially In a business career, an In
estimable factor.
"I regard a man who. In the hot com
petitions of our period, can support
his family comfortably, can purchase
and own a home and leave a little com
petence which will keep the helpless
ones from the necessities of charity,
ns a successful man. Of such there
are. happily, multitudes."
"You have spoken in a general way
about the qualities for phenomenal
success. Can you particularize the
reasons of its attainment by those who
do attain It?"
Mr. Depew said: "Their secret In
their beglnnln.es was a willingness to
do anything, whether they were paid
for It or not As the volunteer fireman
will sacrifice his life for the machine,
so they were willing to do everybody's
work; to perform every species of ser
vice; to sacrifice Bleep, rest and vaca
tions for the benefit of the firm or the
corporation In which they were em
ployed. In the course of time they
became Indispensable, and then they
were made the partners, the masters
and the controllers of the business.
At this point their dangers and dis
comforts begin.
"With the fitness for responsibility
which has been demonstrated comes
great compensation, because this abil
ity is so rare. I have seen an incom
petent man, with a salary of $10,000
a year, wreck a company. I have seen
a competent man, who could not be
had except under a guarantee of $50,-
000 a year and a promise of some
hundreds of thousands of dollars be
sides, should he succeed, restore that
company to phenomenal prosperity.
That Is why those great compensa
tions are possible. The needy situa
tions where thousands, tens of thou
sands, hundreds of thousands of dol
lars are In peril. In Investments which
can be raised from bankruptcy to In
solvency, are rery largely in excess of
the number of men who are competent
for the Job, and such men command
their own prices, and are cheap at any
price.
"But our successful man who has
reached the top finds himself at ouce
Isolated. In spite of himself be Is an
Ishmaellte. Ills hand is not against
every man's; but every man's hand la
against him. His faults are exagger
ated; his weaknesses become crimes;
his mistakes are magnified; his sub
ordinates are too often Jealous; his
rivals are venomous, and his standing
with his directors and stockholders
Is upon the slippery Ice of success.
There Is little friendship, or fidelity,
or cordiality beyond such as springs
from self-interest, to support him. Ills
chief and most reliable assistants are
sense, hard work, and few fast friends
in his board of directors, and all his
staff. His future, because he can not
do everything that must be done, no
matter how hard he works, Is depend
ent largely upon those whom he selects
as his subordinates, and on his reli
ance upon himself. This situation,
even with all Its rewards, would be
Intolerable, except that among the peo
ple whom he selects and who ultimate
ly will divide his kingdom, are some
pien who are devoted to him with a
loyalty and admiration and a readi
ness to sacrifice themselves, such as
characterize the marshals of Napoleon.
"I am afraid that all these illustra
tions and reflections do not reveal,
after all, the secret of how to succeed.
But It cannot be revealed In any other
way than by suggestion and example.
Every man must know his own Hralta- j
uona, ana nave nia own aspirations.
If those limitations are wide, and
those aspirations limitless, and If he
will give to his ascent of the ladder his
undivided attention, and know neither
weakness nor despair, the aspirant Is
sure to get on. Whether be reaches
the top, however, depends upon wheth
er God has supplemented talent, con
stitution and Industry with sense."
