The Spanish have a proverb, "Any oul may be saved but the usurer's. George Desmond sat at his desk long after office hours. Desmond was doing some figuring. The more he figured the worse things looked. He was laughing, actually laughing, but there were not more than two cart loads of mirth In the sound of his laughter. "Old Twenty Percent has got me," he aid half out loud. "The Interest Is a mountain now, whereas at the start the principal was only a mole hill." George Desmond picked up a letter from his desk. It was the old message of "pay up," but there was something In the tone of the letter that was dif ferent from that In most letters which tbe 20-percent-month men write to their creditors who don't come to time promptly. All letters of this class are savage enough, but there was a sort of a leering brutality In the letter which Desmond was now perusing for the tenth time that marked it with an in dividuality even among money lenders' letters. "Harding's got me fast enough," said Desmond, "and I can't see the way out of hip grip. I haven't come to that yet," he mused, with a onions sort of look In his eyes as he looked toward his employer's big safe, "but the good Lord knows it may come oon enough, for I am like water." John Harding, "financier," was In his LatSalle street office. It was the same bour that George Desmond was sitting at bis desk only two blocks distant. If the Spaniard who made the proverb r.bout the usurer's soul could have seen John Harding he would have pointed to him and Eaid, "If you doubt my saying, look Into that man's face." Ice from the pole is not colder than was the look In the money lender's countenance. That afternoon as he sat In his offlco there was something about his mouth that would have made one want to move away from the man, and that quickly. John Harding was talk ing to himself. "I've got Desmond queered," he said, "I hated him as a toy and I bate him worse now, down though he Is." John Harding had a wire and a child, bo roth y was a little one of 10. Hard ing loved ber better than he did his money, which Is saying much. She was the one creature who had succeed ed In finding that somewhere in h.'s cold-blooded being there 'lay a heart. That heart had never known to beat ympathetJcally or lovingly for any other human being than Dorothy, John Harding's child. Harding simply tol erated his wife. He never exactly knew how he came to marry her. He never was cruel as stch men understand cruelty, but thrre was a certain Ignor ing of the wife's existence which cut deeper than the lash. Dorothy loved her father, thovsh she sldn't understand blra. Bne thought In an indefinite, childish way that she had a place In a heart which no one ever before had found. When her fath er wag alone with Dorothy he showed his love for her In certain outward ways for which be would have felt ashamed had others known. John Harding started home. When Within ihreo blocks of bis residence he left the electric car and started down the tree shaded street. It was along this street that every night Dorothy came to meet him, running to him when she caught the first sight of his face. Harding sometimes caught him self wondering what Dorothy would think did she know the nature of his interest upon interest and 20 percent a month method of doing business. The thought made the man wince. Harding as he left the car heard the sound of tambourine and a drum. It was music from a marching contingent of a Salvation army band coming from over beyond somewhere to the salva tion of souls on the street. Harding heard the beat, teat of the drum and the jingle of the tambourine with a sneer. Just then he caught alght of Oorothy running toward him a block away and well beyond the first etrect eorner. - Then It came. Harding hardly knew at the time Just what bapp oed. A peir or horses, frightened by the Salvation ists' music, htd dasliod round the street corner. Little Dorothy, coming with flying feet, was struck. At the same Instant a Kg-jerseyed rellow bad thrown himself in front or the mad dened horses. He was too late to save the child completely, but bs grasped her and roned with her to one aide in time to save her from the crushing wheels of the attached wagon. Tbe BalvaUon army was hurt, and. hurt badly. The child had a deep cut on tter bead from tbe plunging foot of one of the horses. Dorothy Harding was taken home. A Salvation army sister followed. With fcer wont the father In a daze. Tbe child was placed on a bed, and as her head touched tbe pillow she opened her eye for a moment, looked straight Into the eyes of the BalvaUon lassie and smiled. Then she sank back un conscious. Dorothy's smile settled matters with John Harding. He saw that the child was looking straight Into the face of tie blue bonneted girl when the fleeting smile passed over ber faro. The lassie as installed as nurse. For weeks the child lay unconscious. Whether, when she came back Into physical life again, If she ever did, there wouM be any corresponding mental life, tbe physicians would not say. John Harding's house was Cull of religion. The nurse was praying and softly singing songs that sounded like the tunes that the street boys whistle. John Harding knew, though, that what' ever the tune might be no street song ever had words like those which came from the lassie's lips. At times unre buked he allowed the rest of the Sal vation contlng?mt to sing and pray In his parlor. They did It so softly. Hard ing never went to his office. Hehaunted Dorothy's room day and night. He learned one day by overhearing two of the Salvationists talking that men sometimes of high position p'.it on the army's uniform for work when thoy had left the cares of office behind for the day. John Harding learned many strange things In those few weks. "Will you pray with us?" said the Sal vationists to him time and again. "No," Harding would say, almost savagely. "Pray for Dorothy. Pray till you save her, I tell you." The Salvation lassie nurse would smile a little sadly and then would sink on her knees at the bedside of the child. Day In and day out she had prayed that with restored conscious news might come restored reason. The father knew of these repeated petitions. He never was out of sound and sight of Dorothy's room. One af ternoon he stood at the foot of the bed looking Into his child's face. The western sun was lighting the room. The lassie was on her knees praying. "Give her health and reason. O Lord." John Harding looked on his child's face. The nurse kept up her prayed. Dorothy opened her eyes, looked full into her father's face and smiled In recognition. George Desmond sat at his desk. "Harding hasn't bothered me for six weeks," he said to himself, "but to morrow Is the day, and I am afraid It has come to that," and his eyes looked on the big safe In the corner. "He has taken my life and now it la either steal or clean out." It was late In the evening and Des mond still had no thought of going home. He heard a noise behind him. The door opened. Some one entered, but his form was in the shadow. Des mond saw that It was a man but little else. The stranger passed round the glass partition and put a paper on Des mond's desk. Desmond looked at it. It was a signed receipt for all tils In debtedness to John Harding, and with the paper were the canceled notes. Desmond gasped. There was a joy surging through him. He thought It a dream. He looked for the first time full on the stranger. He saw a face familiar, yet unfamiliar. The stranger said not a word, but turned and left the office, and as he passed by the light which came from the lamp without the window George Desmond saw that his visitor wore the uniform of the Salvation army.

A crowd of Interested spectators stood before the lion cages In the Zoo logical gardens as the keepers went from cage to cage tossing In huge chunks of raw meat. The old lion was served with several pounds of luclous looking steak. "I tell you there Is nothing mean about the feed you give the brutes," remarked a man to the keeper. "What does tenderloin steak like that cost you when you buy It in quantity?" "It costs us mighty little," was the answer, promptly given. "That steak ain't bad to look at, but It's horse fleh, and we never give them any oth er kind. Our horses cost us milch less than any ono would suppose, and a great many of them are given to us. The most we ever pay for a horse is about $10, anj we have bouBht horses as low as 15 cents each. If a driver has an old horse ho can no longer work It is better for him to give It to the Zoo for little or nothing than to have It to keep or to die on his hands, so that ho has tine expenso of burial. Sometimes tbe Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals ends us some, although not very of ton, but we put them to death pain lessly In all cases. "It orten happens that wealthy peo ple will have a horsi that has serteJ them faithfully for y ars, which they send to us rather thin cell to rone one who may poBslbly abuse tho ani mal. There was a raso or this kind just a little while ago. A rich ramliy at Ardmore decided to go abroad for several years and ra'Jaer than soli their hcrse they gave it to the Zoo. I was tent out to Ardmore to bring the animal hero. I went out by train, and to show you what a good liorte be was, I can say that In less than an hour and a half from the time I left lie Garden I was hore again, on the horse's back, having ridden him In. A nicer riding boast I never want to sit on, and wasn't so old, either. It certainly seemed a pity to knock a horse like that on the head Juit to feed tho lions, but, after all, I reckon it's better for the borne to ro out of is life easy and quick than to run the risk of being solrto tome one who will starve and abuse him."

J. W. Chadwick. WOMEN WEAVE BEAD CHAINS. Have Small Looms In Their Houaee With Which to Do the Work. An entirely new amusement for women, and one which promises to have a great run, Is the weaving of bead chains. There are small Apache beadwork looms which come for the purpose, and In one day a woman can make as pretty a bead belt or chain as may be desired. Chains have beeu a fad for some time. They began to be populai with the vogue or the lorgnette chain usually, as It first appeared, a trinket of considerable value, one or the precious metals set with jewels. Gun metal, which is costly enough not to become common, though It is imitated, followed, and is still well liked; teak wood beads came more recently, and with these a great variety of glass bead chains which, having pretty color combinations and bright shades, have been much worn. Jet chains, too, have been popular, and there are recent designs in gun metal and copper with rhlnestones that are beautiful. With all of these, and the growing popularity within the last few years of everything relating to the American Indians, long, narrow woven chains or the Indian beadwork have been well liked, as well as belts and watch robs and broad pieces or beadwork used for veBtlngs for gowns. Small looms, simple, but more con venient tban the primitive loom or the or the Indian woman have now been Introduced, and every woman can do her own weaving. There is a fascina tion In this work, for any combination or color can be obtained; the chains and belts are delightful to wear with summer gowns. They can be made with but little trouble and less ex pense, and a girl can have belts and chains to match every ribbon. A weaving outfit costs $2, and In cludes tbe small loom, a spocl of lin en thread and package of needles, a set of 12 different designs, five bunch es of beads of different colors, mate rial enough to make a couple of belts 2G inches long and an Inch wide. Di rections come with the outfit, and a few minutes' Instruction is all tht la necessary, for the work Is simple. Two spools on a framework with a clamp between and a plug at one end form the little loom. The threads are cut the proper length, tied together, and held In place by the clamp, then brought over the spools, plugged In plwfe at the ether end, held snugly with each thread In a groove, and tbe warp is ready for weaving in the beads. There are really wonderful colors to be gound In the beads. There are 40 odd different shades, soft tones ot rose shading up to deep rich reds, greens of many hues, blue beads, brown, gold, black and white beads, and the crystal, all small, round beads, but carylng slightly in size, so that ono may make a coarser or finer piece of work at will. In getting extra supplies a regular bunch of beads will cost 25 cents, and there ar enough beads In it to make a chain or a belt. A spool of linen thread for tbe warp wll cost 15 cents, and a paper or twenty-five weaving needles the same price. Different widths can be made on the loom, and a girl can make a chain three beads wide ore -day and a belt three Inches wide tbe next. New York Times. Shooting Over Dogs. If, as we are so often told, It were true that shooting over dogs Is dying out, it would be strange that the in stitutions for the trial of pointers and setters upon game not only grow in number, but are patronized by more people, who enter more dogs' thaa formerly. The fact is, that dogs have never gone out In any noteworthy de gree In tbo Highlands and islands of Scotland. In many districts It Is Im possible to shoot grouse without their assistance Country Life. HIS LIGHTNING SONG.

There are many peculiar occupa tions followed by tho e engaged In gaining a livelihood In and arotiud New York. A look Into the junk shops along tho river front will give one a little Idea or tbe thousand and one things that have, round their way thith er after being discarded by their own ers. Among tlie many unknown ways by which a subsistence Is gained Is one followed by two men who may be teen almott any day rowing about In the North r'.ver. While one keeps the fxuall boat in position the other, with grappling hook and poles, drags the bottom or the stream for whatever of value may be pulled from the depths. Pieces cr rope or machinery and a va riety of stuff, good or bad, are grist to them. Several yeais t-so they came aoros s a water-tlsrbt box, containing valuable papers and Jewelry, which bad been lott overboard In a collision between two &t earners. At times the men pull up other things than those they seek. Not Uilreiueutly have they brought to tbe surface the bodies of drewned pernors, who have either committed suicide or net their deaths through accident. Pittsburg Dis patch.

A great many years ago the people Of Egypt, who had many Idols, wor shipped the cat among others. They thought she was like the moon, be cause she was more active at night, and because her eye3 changed like the tuoon, which Is eomi-tlmes full and at other times only a light crescent, or, as we say, a half moon. Did you ever notice pussy's eyes change i So they made an Idol with a cat's head and named It Pasht! The same name they gave to the moon, for the word means the face of the moon. The word has been changed to "Pas" and "Pus," and has come at last to be "Puss," the name most of us give to tbe cat Puss and pussy cat are pet names for kitty anywhere now. Whoever thinks or the name as given to her thousand) or years ago and people then bowed down and prayed to her. Washington Star. The Cricket and the Lien. One day tbe lion was out walking In the wood. As he was stepping near an old rotten log, he beard a tiny voice say: "Oh, please, don't step there! That's my house, end with one step more you will destroy it." The Hon looked down and saw a lit tle cricket sitting on the log. He roared: "And Is It you, weak little creature, that dare tell me where to step? Don't you know that I am king of the beasts?" "You may be king of the beasts, but I am king of my house; and I don't want you to break It down, king or no king." The Hon was amazed at such dar ing. "Don't you know, you weakling, that I could smash you and your house and all your relatives with one blow or my paw?" "I may be weak, but I have a cousin no bigger than I who can master you In a fight." "Oh, ho! Oh. ho!" laughed the Hon. 'Well, little boaster, you have that cousin here tomorrow, and If he dtJes lot master me I'll crush you and your bouse and your cousin altoethor." The next day the lion came back to the same spot and roared, "Now, boaster, bring on your valiant cous in!" Pretty soon he heard a buzzing near his ear. Then he felt a stinging. "Oh! oh!" be cried. "Get out of my ear!" But the cricket's cousin, the mos quito, kept on stinging and stinging. With every sting the lion roared loud er and scratched his ear and jumped around; But the mosquito kept on stinging and stinging. The cricket sat on the log, and looked on. At last he said. "Mr. Lion, are you satisfied to have my house alone?" "Yes, any thing, anything," roared the lion, "If you will only get your couBin out of ny ear!" So the cricket called the nosquito off and then the Hon went a ray, and never bothered them any D ore. Good Housekeeping. The Art of Stilte. Tbe best stilts are made to fasten to the legs, so that the hands and arms are left free. Any boy with a few tools can mako a good pair of stilts In half an hour. Two plain straight strips or wood, strong enough to bear bis weight will make the standards; they should be long enough to reach to the top or tbe Bhoulders when mounted, For a beginner tbe fori' piece should not be more tban 14 Inches from the ground a small boy might do well to put them lower still, for one finds It necessary to step off and on a good many times in learning to stilt The lootplece is nailed or screwed to the standard, from which It pro jects at rllit angles on the Inner side, just far enough to give a comforta ble rest to tbe foot. It should be sup jects at right angles on the Inner side, In mounting stilts of this kind, rest the ends on the ground, grasp the handles so- as to bring them behind tbe shoulders, set the left foot In place and spring up, bringing the right foot Into lta rest while In the air. Hold the standards close to the shoulders all the time with the bands against the hips. It Is necessary to move forward at once after mounting, because It Is'easi er to walk than to stand still. Smooth, bard ground Is the thing for these early exercises. After a boy can go freely and1 far and fast with these stilts be may be graduated Into the use of stilts that are strapped firmly to the logs, leav ing hands and arms free. With these the foot piece can be put three and (our feet from the ground. To carry a long light pole will be a great convenience; It Is a help In fording streams and on rough ground' and for, resting. The French peasant In Germany are the most celebrated stilt walkers In the worlds Stilts are as common as shoes In the marshy country there, and many a peasant mounts his stilts from the roof of his house In the morning and does not take them off till he goes to bed at night New York Press, Birthday of Miss Hartley. Miss Hartley sat by ner sunny win dow, her lap full of pretty girlish notes. Her dim eyes were full of tears, as she looked wistfully out on the old-fashioned garden, which had marked so many springtimes for her. It might be the lost spring she would ever see It again. She was growing feeble, and was no longer able to teach, as she had done for so many years. There was nothing to live upon If her hands and brains were Idle, so the house had been sold the day before. She was quite alone In the world, without kith or kin; but the dear, quaint old lady was beloved by gener ations of pupils, whom she had taught In the little town. The piles of notes In her lap were birthday greetings, a day ahead of time, to be sure. Her girls had In vited themselves to luncheon, and a day was scarcely a long enough no tice. In spite of the pleasure their coming would give her, Miss Martley could not help some anxious specula tions as to ways and means to pro vide for 12 hearty, happy, hungry girls, whose delight had always been "a spread' at Miss Hartley's." She could not longer afford "spread")," but she would do the best sho could, trusting to the girls' offer ings to eke out her scanty supply. Meantime, the girls were In quite a flutter of excitement, and their mam mas, who had also been "girls" once, were almost as excited. By hair-past twelve on Miss Hart ley's birthday, a flock or bright-raced sweetly dressed little maidens pre sented themselvese at the well known front door, to be welcomed by an eager, smiling hostess, who looked quainter than ever in her gray silk gown and berlbboned cap. Tbe girls' offerings proved substantial Indeed, so that when they Bat down to lunch eon it was at a groaning table, and laughter and talk flowed merrily, while the dear old lady forgot her worries, and joined In tbe run. "Now tell us all about the house," said Alice Dent, who, being the oldest or the dozen, was naturally the spokes man. "There's nothing much to tell, my dear," said Miss Hartley, with a lit tle quiver in her voice, "It was sold yesterday." "Sold!" they echoed Incredulously. "Yes, the business was concluded yesterday, and the sum paid ror It will make me comfortable for the rest of my lire. I ought to be very hap py, but but It's hard to get used to a new place at my age. I'm C5 today." "A health to G5!" cried Alice, rais ing her gloss of water. Every girl enthusiastically followed ber exam ple, and the old lady's eyes filled with tears. "And now," said Alice, "I'm going to make a speech." "Hear, hear!" cried the others, and they settled themselves to listen. "Once there was a dear, sweet lady, whom everybody loved," here Alice bowed to Miss Hartley, "brie had spent long years In teaching, and at the close of every school year, there had been a great time, for diplomas and medals and prizes of books, were awarded for excellence In standing. All the graduates, of course, received diplomas, and though tbey drifted away, married and bad daughters of their own they kept tbelr diplomas carefully, for they loved their dear school teacher, and remembered ber gentle Influence and sent their daugh ters to her in after" years. But one day a queer thing happened; the ta bles were turned for the teacher de cided to graduate; so at the time she appointed there was a grand luncheon and her 12 pupils who were Invited or rather who invited themselves, de cided to present her with a diploma. Elsie bring it In." Elsie, who was the youngest, and, therefore the messenger, ran out, re turning In a few moments with a long, Interesting looking box. Alice took off tho cover and there lay the diplo marolled as all diplomas are, and tied with a huge white bow, with 12 lond ends one for each girl. At a signal from Alice they all arose, and each taking ber end, car ried It In state to Miss Hartley, and placed It In her hands. "You are to open It," said Alice. "There may ,be some mistakes; you know we never made out a diploma before. Miss Hartley smiled and obeyed, drawing off the complicated bow with old maid precision. But as ber eyes fell upon the con tents of the paper ahe gave a cry which was as girlish as any of her pupils, and stretched out her hands. "Oh, my girls!" she cried. "What have I done to deserve this?" They could not answer, because of such a queer feeling In their throats; they could only cling to ber as one by one she held them close for the "diploma" was the deed to the dear old home, and tbe names of every pa pll she had ever taught were signed to the gift Pittsburg Dispatch.
