A rinathwaite said he would do his best, and Je thouglit there was no need for Ixrd tiluouau to worry hi a-!' over the natural aaprtces of a lady accustomed i the lnsinut gratification of hT wishes. Hut he retneuibered the flashes of fierce, feverish longing in her eyes, and thought f Dr. Peele and his secret. After listen ing to hia assurances. Lord Kildonan saids i "Well. I should like ( comfort myself with the belief that you" right. You will understand my tent better if J show yw a letter 1 received from her father a few days before her marriage. There if roly otie passage I need trouble yoi with; I have read it again and again." . There waa little necessity for this ex planation; the Ustr itself betrayed the fact. Worn In the ULXa so that it scarce ly held together, the old letter, wnich Lord KiUhwiun took from a case in hi b.reast iKM.ket, ehowed ewideut signs of the olu feer of times he ha tajien it out to pore over its meaning. The particular passage -. which he poinid out to the o&cjor ran thus: There are two Injunctions which, be rore you maw Aphra, I wishMrtij.-ular-'ty tSn impress upon you. The oitt'ie to Jet her live always in the country, an " rangement which will, I Ww, cause you no inconvenience, as it is direetj in ac-i cordance with your own tastes.

I earnestly enjoin you to follow" my advice in these two things, sis I believe you will do absolutely In con sideration of the entire confidence I have biaced in you. of tne importance of the trust I make ovit to you, and of the hap s.isesa I feel lu the knowledge that my dear child and everything else I care for an this wrld, will be in the charge of a nan I respe.-t and esteem aa I do you. ' -That is the passage," said Lord Kil dotuin, when Armathwaite had got aa far a this. "1 read it quite simply when I 6rst received It. But since then the fre quent recurrence of her fits of feverish melancholy has made me wonder whether there was not a deeper meaning ia her father's words -uhether, in fact, the del Icacy te which he referred waa not really st disease, which might carry off my wife sit any moment If she were exposed to the atrain ef undue excitement. Now, doesn't it strike you In that light?" U la certainly a possible Interpreta tion to put upon it. On the other hand, yoa must make allowance for the exag cerated sentiment of a father with an only child; especially aa you see from th other flnuse, his far-fetched fear that a little indiscriminate charity would breed pauperism, to what wild Ueaa his morbid sensibility could lead him." "Yes, yes, that ia true; that notion is far-fetched, of course. es. After aj nauae he raised his head. "Dr. Anna-1 thwaite. rou have given me great com-1 furt.

Jet her lady ifV'P to take you out with her on her long .drives, and give up your night work, and fou will be a different man." "A different man! Ah, it'a too late rtoo late! And my night work I can't ,give up that! The night is the worst time; .one lies awake and thinks of one's griev ances and one's follies. My studies keef jne occupied; I couldn't give tbem up."

"Yon spoke to her? Ah, I am And she seemed pleased, did she?

Now, on likes to be listened to when one baa any thing on one's mind, It was a long but a pleassnt walk back to Hrazksonie.

In the meantime the feeling she iuspired in him was so r.vrential that he refrained fm faking the higher rxad by which he would hare passed close to her bUe, and scarcely d&r4 to glance Jhai way when he reached the point where the higher and the lower roads met, vVfaifo he reached liranksome he had to pass the station on bis way to Dr. Peele's; but no sooner had he JU.ne so than he retraced bis steps, and eoiiig' insight through to the platform, found himself fcpe to face with Alma Vnititfopt. lf.e raised Lif hat, but showed no surprhae, an 4 neither dU she. "Art ypa fuhg Hfty 7'' he asied, la a low voice, all thought of a4res8iug her with -jommonplaces dif appearing as h noted the utter sadness of her expression "' she answered. "It Is Uncle Ilugb who Is going, iff husband has sent him away." She onld only Just breathe out the last words, her voice failing her entirely, and her under lip pitifully quivering. Arma thwaite flamed Into wrath, and splutter ed out indignant interjections half aloild. She lucked up at him and laughed a little. "We knew 7u would be sorry, too." she said, holding 6ni her hand to him. "Uncle Hugh pretends he doesn't care, and ire sU right, auJ Ned and I shall get ,n better v. !i"n he's away. But we sha'n't. He's just c.-jne up to say good by to Willie- J'm rather yelous of Millie witn him, you Know." And t-he looked mournfully away iu At that moment the. elder Mr. Crosmont came out from the ticket office; be was ostentatiously cheerful, and resoIvfeAy l.-u t on making the best of this new turn of affairs. He made Alma sit down to rest, while he-carried off the young doctor for talk. . Uncle luigh was overjoyed to lcara that Armathwaite tnought of re maining la the neighborhood, and began eagerly to explain to him the position of affalra. "The fact Is, Ned made op his mind to ;lve me notice to quit a long time back," he said. "But I saw bis little game, and was so lamb-like, for the little one's sake. that he didn't know where to have me til! last !cht. when he came home in a vll lainims tet;per, and pitched into the poor child for being extravagant. Now you've seen a good way into the Ins and outs of things up at Ned's, and I want 70U to be a friend, as far as you can, to the little jue while I'm away, so Jt doesn't matter if I tell you a little more, I don t want to say a word against my nephew; he's as good a lad at heart as ever lived, hut be hasn't been quite at bis best of late, and he's taken to being so very close-fisted that it's aii th.e little one can do to man age with what he gives her. She's never had a new dress since she was married; though, luckily. Dr. Peele gave her such a handsome trousseau that it doesn t mat ter. But though you can manage like that to dress on nothing you can't keep a household going on nothing, and that Is what Ned seems to be trying to train her to do. I've pone wnat little I could, I needn't tell you; tut I'm not a rich man. and the trifling driblets I've been able to pay have not been much good. And new it will be awfully hard for the child to fight tie debts and the duns alone." "And what doea he do with his money V Surely he must get a decent salary from Lord Kildonan 7 He seems to have, a loi more confidential work to do than a man in bis position usually baa." "Well, be says his lordship bas the de fect ul bis nation, and expecta blm to make a great abow on very little." "But it's enough to lire upon, surely? It cngbt to be.

When the train had -crawled out of the) station, Armathwaite spoke to Alma, wbe remalned atandlng on the platform atar- Ing hopelessly after It Will yoe come to Dr. Peele's aad as Miss Millie?" he questioned, "eh la ao much distressed at not baring seen 70a lately." The suggestion seemed to frighten her: she declined at once, and bowing to him wIU a hasty "Good morning." harried oat at the- station. CHAPTER XI. tf- Frank Armathwaite anent the first tea daya after bis arrival at Branksome in making the acquaintance of the various ti.m of the old doctor, wno waa pnpmar, aud had made himself a great reputation by his able treatment of that important class of patients who can afford to nurse every trilling ailment until imagination and idleness work it into a serious ma!ady. the young 1 orkshirema.n Tas received ev erywhere with the greatest cordiality. which increased when it became known that he had already been consulted by the great people st The Craga. I''rom thut moment his success was m hia own bands. For ten days he saw nothing either of the Kijdupans or of the Crosmouts, ex cept for a fleeting glimpse he caught one evening, wben he was opt fate on his rouuJs, of the sleigl and its occupants. It was g bard winter7nnd the frost still held; and though on bright daya the sun melted a little of the upper suow on the more open parts, the great mass of It atill spread over the hills and choked the val lys, the ice on the lake grew thicker and UiliikiV, and at night the hard roads rang under the tre4 of man or beast. Towards the end of hia second Wvk ? Branksome, a little Dote from Lady Kildohaa waa re ceived, Inviting him to a skating party to be held on the lake on the following af ternoon from two till five. There waa a postscript of course: "Mrs. Crosmont has tt3 Invited, f .trust to the mutual at traction to fcrljjg you loth.? Qu the foliowlpg day heavy sky and a keen, biKpg wind eeeinpJ t) threaten the doom of the proposed skating party. Armathwaite, who waa out early In the morning, hardly knew whether be moat wished for or dreaded it.

At S quarter past one, having gobbled down a cruelly pasty dinner, Pr. Arma thwaite, Mrs. Peele and Millie were all in the pony carriage, driving towards th meeting place, which was the Mereslde end of the lake, on the opposite shore, close underneath the hill on which 'iue Crags stood. The wind had gone down; the aky was still heavy and threatening, and a feathery flake or two fell softly In a weak and wavering way as an earnest of what might be expected befcre many hours WPfS over. A small marquee had been erected pa f ha" shore 0 the lake, close by (he boat house and landing stage betopgipg to The Crags; under this shel ter couple of bright maid servants, delighted with this tiny break In life's monotony, were making tea and coffee, and unpacking consignments of enke and sandwiches.

German expert marksman in a Berlin court of the crime of "pandering to the public lust for excitement" was the result of an accident almost Identical lu every de tail with a tragedy that occurred some years ago in this country. About six weeks ago in a Berlin music ball a marksman attempted to shoot an apple from the bead of a young girl. He had frequently accomplished the feat be fore with success. Bui through some. Inaccuracy q alio, the (mllef, instead of, passing through the apple, struck the womnq In the head and killed Jier li Htautly, He waa aentepced for this tq ix months' Imprisonment, There was no charge of negllgpnte or criminal l" tent. Bo the charge that he had nt' tempted to "pander to the public lust for excitement" was Invented to fit hh case. . " The Fjctjm. pf the American traged; was Annie Von Viebreq, and fhe wan who shot her was Frank I, Prayne, who, when lie retired from the stago, had made a fortune through bis expert ness ns a marksman. For many yenra he bad 'traveled through the United States acting in a play called f'fej Slo cum: if waa. a rpilglapd-ready peee, devised liiefiy u exnililf hs SKilj q shooting and In the management of wild animals. He carried a whole men agerie about with him, nnd this method of oj:J!;jt)n!J his talents . fiad been adopted' after 'on iinsupessuf pa recti ns an actor. His wife, fSlara putler, who used tg tsintf t hlij plays and t the part pf Mrs. Siocjim, was for a ion: time th(t vpiini pp whom his feau of siiootiug were tried, t'ne of tne best known of these was mat in which, standing with his back to her, he shot an apple from her head, and as in the 6torv of Vll)inin Tell, tills (ncijenf wai ft ci u. lnf uue 1 11 iW play.

It was done every plght aud frequently twice at the many matl noes given in the cheap theaters at which Frayne appeared. Toward thff end of November. JSS? the company reached a theater fn 'Cin cinnati known as the Coliseum'. Jt had been opruej only wo weeks irhe ''S SliH'iiui'j was acted there, pn Thanks giving pay there were more than 2,(KiQ Ihtsous if f hp f pea ter at Mf r '&a, luee, 'fhe play progressed to the scene in h licb iio appje W04 to lft shot fnm Mrs, Mncuni'a head. The apple wna placed on the girl's head and Frayne took aim and fired. As they heard tho crack of the rifle, the spectators saw Miss yon Bchren fall to the stage with . fppt Of Wood o her fqrehpad. The actor turned anl. seeing what tmd w eurred, ran to the spot where the girl lay and fell fainting by her side. The piirtniV rrippprt mmedately, and the malinger appeared ltore the "curtain, to announce that the play would lie brought to an end Immediately. (Some pf the audience had supposed' tftat the scene waa a part of the play. But it was soon whispered pliout that the girl had beep killed. The holiday crowd In tho streeta heard the reiort, and beforo long several thousand people had gath ered In front of the building, although nobody knew certainly of the tragedy jnslde. The girl diet within a few mlnutet after the bullet struck her over the left eye. Fraypp, who was frantic with pgr citement, was locked up. The apple was four Inches abovo ber bead on a hat, nnd the -Bet-mental use of a defect ive cartridge wits rhe cause of her death. Frayne protested that there was no danger lu the backward shot, ns It had repeatedly been done without serious results. The coroner's Jury re leased ulni and be declared that lie would never shoot again. But after a brief retirement, he returned, t'pthq stage and acted in his drama, for nine yeara longer, although he never re peated the backward shot with a wom an, and lndoed abandoned the play in which the accident occurred. It is said of the German that ho was about to marry the girl he killed, and the same story was told of Frayne and Miss Von Behren. He died about sis years ago, and the shock he received when ho killed the girl Is said to have impaired bhj health seriously- The shot that killed Miss Von Behren seems to have had a fatal effect on plays of this class. Twenty years ago they were highly popular, and they continued so down to a Tery recent date. But they have almost wholly dis appeared from the stage now. New York Sun. The Fraternal Orders. The recently published statistics of the fraternal and benevolent associa tions of the United States present souio facts that may be surprising to per sons who have never looked Into the subject. The total membership of these orders Is 7.350.000, of whch number about 1,000,000 are Free Masons, more than 800,000 Odd Fellows and about 600,000 Knights of Pythias, The rest are scattered throughout many organ izations, the best known of which are the Ancient Order of Foresters and the Ancient Order of United Workmen The size of this fraternity army ran be better appreciated when It ts consid ered that at the last presidential elec tion the total vote cant In the United States was about 14,000.000, scarcely double the size of the fraternity me'-n-bersblp. Tho development of these fraternal and benevolent organizations has been largest In recent years because, of the extension of what la known as the ?'sys tern of sick benefits." Members have been guaranteed a certain means of support In case of sickness and a pro portionate return In tho way of life In surance for the pioney paid In when they die, and these features have serv ed to Dooulnrlze the various orucrs t. n extraordinary decree, fn this re spect also the organizations hare been Di marked benefit, The aid which la given to members Is n no sens a charity and does not de preciate the recipient's self-respect, while at the same time tho public s re. lleved of many burdens which would otherwise be Imposed on. It. These or ders. In caring for their sick and provid ing tor U families of tfeeir dead, are .wly doing much of tho work that formerly was done by the church, only they have enlarged this work to an Im mense extent. They are wholesome factors In every community, and be sides the direct financial benefits they distribute they exert a moral Influence which cannot be overestimated.

There Is nothing In otr records to compare with the capsizing of the Brit ish frigate Captnln with half a thou sand men in 1870, or the f.nnl collision of the British ironclads Vatigutrd and Iron Duke in 87.Y or tint bf the ;r pnn 'ironclad Knlsr Wiihelm and Grosser Kurfurst tho year follow. uk, when 300 uieu perished, or he loss of (he British training slil,.s Eurydice and Atlanta In 1878 nnd ist) with tJ0 pili cers, sallora and appivmioo boys, or the sinking of the British flagship Victoria, with Admiral Tyron, twenty-two offi cers and 830 sailors, by collision with the Campcrdown on June 22, 1803, In tho Mediterranean, or the wreck of tha Spanish cruiser Rein.i Kegente, on March 10. 1895, with 420 officers anc seamen. The list of minor ncoldents to foreign paval vessels iu the past few years would be too long to enumerate. But the standing of the British Ironclads Howe and Anson, the flagship A111 phlon and the cruiser Sultan were far more grave affairs than any such acci dents which have occurred to any of our own fceivy vessels within this ik--rlod.

Futile remedies. In tho first plaen, there will come no pui-illcation to this trouble through an outcry against rich men, merely twuuse they nr- tic.ti. The're isriu meinher M a tni.l.-s uni-in ,.1, ei,rth that would not s rloh f h eoul.t be, ttometimes through a fortunate Invention or through some ni-l-dent of prosperity a mBn who hip) quthing pomes to a large, estate, ami we see him arrogant and enp-fillous and taking eo pl hy the throat. There is some thing very mean about human na ture whon it comes to tho top. Hut it is no more a sin to lie rteh than It ts a sin to Ihj poor. There are those who have gathered a great estate through fraud, nnd then there ar millionaires who have gathered their fortunes through foresight in regard to changes in the markets, and through brilliant business fneulty, and every dollar of their estate is as honest as the dollar which the pliiml,r for mending n pipe, 'pf the, uittH.u gets for building if wall. Thnro are thuse who keep jn oyerty bee.anseof their own fault. They might have ben well off, but they gave fiiiiiwivm 10. strung urniK, ortney sutokel or chewed up thetr earnings, ur they lived beyond their means, while others ou the same wages and on tha same salaries went Oil to competency. I know a man who is all the time complaining of his poverty and crying out against rich men, while he him self keeps two dogs and chews anil smokes ami is lined to the chtn with whisky and ber. Mieawber said to David jupperf1eld: "Copperlleid. mr liov. il Income t wentv shilling and slxMnse expene.es; result. misery, uui. i;oinerueii. mv nov 11 in come, expenses nineteen BhUUm,.-, and six pence; result, lutpttiaKi.

I protest airninst 1hlso,t"ry whle.h i hear against those who, through economy and self deutnl and assi duity, have eome to largo fortune. This bombardment of commercial suooess will never stop thlsqunrrel between capital and labor. Neither will the contest be settled by cynical aud unsympathetic treatment of the laboring classes. There are those who speak of them as though they were, only cattle or draft horses. Their nerves are nothing, their domestic comfort is nothing, their happiness is nothing. Ttjey have UQ tnore sympathy for tlmm than a bound has for a hare or a hawk for a hen or a tiger (or a ealf. When Jean Ynljenn, the great est hero of Victor Hugo's writings, after a life of suffering and brave enduranee, goes' Into incarceration and death, they clap tho hook shut ami say, "Good for lilml". They stamp their feet with indignation and say Just the opposite of "Save the working classes." They have all their sympathies with Hhylock, and not with Antonio and Portia. They are plutocrats, and the(r feelings are in fernnl. They are filled with irritation and irascibility on this subject. To stop this awful Imbroglio between capital and labor they wfl! lilt not so, much as the tip end c.f the little, linger. Neither will there be any pacification o( this angry controversy (hrough yi'J'vnon. 0od never blessed murder. The poorest use you can put a man to It to kill him. Mow up to-morrow all the eountry seats on the banks ot the Hudson, aud all the lino houses on Madison Hiiare, and lirooklyn Heights, and bunker Hill, and Hlttenhousn .Square, and Beacon street, and all the bricks and timber and stone will just fall back on the bare head ot American labor. The worst enemies of the working classes In the United States and Ireland are their demented coadjutors. Assassination, the assassination of Lord, Frederick Cavendish and Mr. Burke tn I'bieuix Tark, Dublin, in the attempt tq avenge the wrongs of Ireland, only turned away from that 11 filleted people, millions oj sympathizers. The attempt to blow tip the House of Commons in London hat only this effect to throw put of employment tens of thousands of innocent Irish people In England. Well, if this controversy between capital and labor cannot be settled by human wis dom, if to-day capital and labor stand with their thumbs ou each other's throat, aa they do, it Is time for us to look somewhere else for relief, and it points from my text. roseate and jubilant, and. puts one hand on the broadcloth shoulder of capital and puts the other vn the homespun covered shoulder of toll and says, with a voice that will grandly and gloriously settle this and settle everything, "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do you even so to them" that is, the lady of the house hold will say, "I must treat the maid In the kitchen just a-i I would like to be treat ed If I were down stairs and rc were my work to wash and 000k and sweep and it were the duty of the maid In the kitchen to L reside, in this parlor." The maid In the itehen must say: "If my employor seems to he more prosperous than I, that is no fault of hers. I shall not treat her as an enemy. I will have the same industry and fidelity down stairs as I would expect from mv subordinates It I happened to both wife, of a silk importer." The owner ot an iron mill, having taken a dose of my text before leaving home in the morning, will go into his foundry, and, passing into what la called the puddling riom, he will sou a man there stripped to the waist and beaweAted and exhausted with the labor and the toil, and he will say to him: "Why. It seems to bo very hot in here. You, look very much exhausted. I hear yourohlld Is. slok with scarlet fever. If you want your wages a little earlier this week, so as to pay the nurse and get the medicines, just come Into my office any time." Iu this country the torch put to the fac tories that have discharged hands for good or bad reasons, obstructions on the rail track in front of midnight express trains, because the offenders do not like the Tre!-. dnt of the company, strikes on shipbour-i the hour they were going to, sail or in the printing offices the hour the, pa,per wua to go to pnns, or In, mines t,tvv daj tho eoal wits to bo delivered, or on, house, soafTol.l lngs so the builder fails In, kee4ig hia con tract all these aro only a, hant blow on the head of American labor and cripple its arms and lame Us tt and pierce his heart.

After awhtle crash goes the money mar ket, and there is no more diuuaad for the articles manufacture.' Vv thut iron mill, and the owner does, 11 huow what to do. He says: "rihaU ) stop the mill, or shall I run it n halt time, or shall I cut down the men'u wagea?" He walks , n0or of his eouuttng room a'J day, hitrdlv Liiowiug rr... to do. Toward ever..i ue culls all the laborers together. They stand all around, soiue vlth' arms akimbo, some with folded uriiis, wondering what the boss is going to do now. The manufacturer says: "Men, times are very hard. I don't make $20 where I used a make 1(K. Somehow, there is no demand now for what we ninnu facturu, or but very little demamL You see, I am nt vast expense, audi hnveonllnd you togcthor this afternoon to see what you would advise. I don't want to shut up the mill because that would force you out of work, nnd you have always been very faithful, and I like you, and you seem to like me, and the bairns must be looked after, and your wife will after awhile want a new dress. I don't know what to do." There is a dead halt for a, minute or two. nnd then one of the. workmen steps nut from the 'ranks, of his fellows nnd says: "Boss, you have leen very good to us, and when you proSiere,i we prosere(l, and now you are in n tight place and I am sorry, and we have got to sympathize with you. f, Jon't know how the others feel, but I pro pose that we lae off twenty percent, from jur wagi'S and that when the times get ood you will remember us and raise them igain." The workman looks around to his joinra les nnd t,-uys: "Boys, what do you iny to this? All iu favor of my proposition will say aye." "Aye. aye, aye!" shout 200 voices. But the mill owner, getting iu same new machinery, exposes himself very much ami :akes cold, and it settle p.lo pneumonia aud he dies,. In Mi pfonesslon to the tomb arc all the wvirkmon, tears rolling down their checks and off upon the griiind. but an hour liefore the procession gels to the cemetery the wives and the children of those workmen art at the grave; waiting for the arrival of the funeral pugeiiut. The minis ter of religion may have delivered an elo quent euloglum before they started from the homo, hut the most impressive things are said that day by the working classes standing around the tomb. That night iu all the cabins of the work ing people where they have family prayers the widowhood and the orphanage m the inaiihioii lire re'neuhred. No glaring pop ulations look aver the Irou fence of the cemetery, but, hovering over the scene, the bcuK.ltxtloii of God aud man is a lining for the fulililment of the Chrstlike Injunction, "Whatsoever ye wou.li! that men should do to you, do yc.u, even so to them." "I'.h,"- says some man here, "that Is all t'toptan, that ts apocryphal, that la Impos sible." No. I cut out of a paper this: "One of the plcnstuiteat Incidents recorded In a long time la reported from SliefTteld, Kug land. The wages of the men lu the Iron works at Sheffield are regulated by a board nt arbitration, by whose decision both mas ters and men are bound. For some time past tho irou and steel trade has been ex tremely unprolltable, and the employers ?amiot, without much loss, pny the wages fixed by the board, which neither employ ers noretnploycd havethe power ta change. To avoid this difficulty the workmen In one of the largest steel works iu Sheffield hit upon a device as rare as it was generous. They olTere.l to work for their employers one week without anv pay whatever." But you go with me, ami I will show you -not so far off as Sheffield, Engiaud fac tories, banking houses, storehouses and costly enterprises where this Christlike in junction of my text Is fully kept, and you could no more get the employer to practice hu Injustice upou his men. or the meu to conspire against the employer, than you could get your right hand and your left hand, your right eye aud your left eye, your right ear aud your left ear. Into physiological antagonism. Now where is thisto U-gin? In our homes. In our stores, ou our farms not waiting for other people to do their duty. Is there a divergence now letween the parlor and the kitchen? Then there is something wrong either In the parlor or the kitchen, srhaps tn both. Are the clerks iu your store irate against the linn? Then there is something wrong either behind the counter or In the private office, or perhaps in tmth. The great want ot the world to-day is the fiilillliiieut of this Christlike injunction, that whlc.i he promulgated in His sermon Olivctic. All the political economists un derthe arehivnult of the heavens in con vention for lono years cannot settle this controversy lietweeu mouopoly and hard work, between capital and labor. During the Itevoliitionary War there was a heavy piece of tiintier to be lifted, perhaps for some fortress, and the corpu;al was over seeing the work, nud he was giving com mands to sime soldiers as they lifted: "Heave away, there! Yo heave!" Well, the timber was too heavy; they could not get it up. There was a gcntleu.au riding by on a horse, nnd he stopped and said to this corporal: "Why don't you help them lift? That timber is too heavy for them to lift." "No,"' he said, "I won't. I am a corporal." The gentleman got off hi horse and came up to the place. "Now," lie sai.l to the soldiers, "nil together- yo aeavel" and the timber went to Its place. "Now," snld the gentleman to tho corporal, "when vou have a piece of timber too heavy for the men to lift, and you want heli. von send to your commander-in- chief.' It was Washington. Now, that is about all the gospel I know the gosiiel of giving somebody a lift, a lift out of dark ness, a lift out of earth Into heaven. That Is all the gospel I know-the gospel of helping somebody else to H'. "Oh," says some wiseacre, "talk as yon will, the law of demand an 1 supply will regulate these things until the end of time." No, they will not, unless God dies and the IciMerie of the judgment day are spiked, and I'luto and Pr.werplne, king and queen oT the Infernal regions, take full possession of this world. Do you know who supply and demand are? They have gone Into partnership, and they propose to swindle this earth and aro swindling it. You are drowning. Supply and demand stand on the shore, one on one side, the other on the other aisle oJ the lifeboat, and they cry out to you, "Vow, you pav us what we ask yon for get tl ng you to shore or go to the bottom!" If you can Iwirrow 49000 you can keep from failing in busi ness. Supply and demand say, "Now, you. pay us exorbitant usury or you go Into bankruptcy." This robber firm of supply and demnnd say to you: 'The crops aro short. We bought up all the wheat and It is in our bin. Now, you pay our price or starve." That is your magnificent law of supply and demand. Supply and demand own the largest mill on earth, and all the rivers roll over their wheel, and Into their hopper thev put all the men, women and children they can shovel out of the centuries, and the blood and the Ixines redden the valley while the mill grinds. That diabolic law of supply aud demand will yet have to stand ailde. and Instend thereof will come the law of love, the law of co-operation, the law of kindness, tho law of sympathy, tho law of Christ. 'Have you no 1. tea of the coining of such a time? Then you do not believe tho Bible. All the Bible Is full of promises on this sul.j.wt, and as the ages roll on the time will come when men of fortune will be giving larger sums ta humanitarian and evangelistic purposes, and there will be more James I.enxcs nnd Peter Coopers and William E. Dodges and George l'ea bodya. A that time comes there will be mofo. parks, more picture galleries, more gnrdons thrown open for the holiday people and the working classes. The great patriot of France, Victor Hugo, died. The 10,000 In his will given to. the. poor or the ulty was only a hint of the work he did for all Nations and for all limes. 1 wonder not that they allowed eleven day to pass lietween his death un.l his burial, his tw)dy meantime kept under triumphal arch, for the world 0011M hardly afford to let go this man who for more than eight decades had by hts unparalleled genius hlcssed It. His name shall tie a terror to ail despots and an ennouragement to the strug gling. He made the world's burden lighter and Its darkness less dense and its chol:k less galling and its thorns of Iniquity in secure. But Victor Ttugo was not the ovortowor lug friend of mankind.
