CHAPTER XL
LOVE'S YOUNG DREAM.
Ata glance Giulio realized what had oc
ewrred, and a thrill of indignat on and con
tempt pervaded his soul as he saw that the
man Vance, thinking only of his own
mfely, made no effort to brave the dangers
of an attempted rescue of his former com
panion in the hoat.
The quick eye of the young man scan
ned the scene comprehensively. Not un
used to athletic sports, he discerned that
be might aid the imperiled girl withom
delay, 1f he cou'd gain the central current
of the river down which the boat was
dashing,
The stream wae here and there dotted
With half-submerged rocks as it neared the
falls, and one of these the boat had evi
dently struck.
While the man called Vance had dropped
Ihe oars toavow hislove, as Giulio believed,
forhis companion, the little craft. unguided,
dad dashed against a rock and upset.
The woman had clung to the boat; the
man, more fortunate, reached the roc}x.
Thence, with suspenseful eyes and pallid
face, he watched ll;is late charge float to her
death, either unable or too cowardly to at
tempt to save her.
“Cling to the boat; T will soon reach and
tescue you,
Running along the shore, Giulio, anxious,
€xcited, shouted these words to the terri
fied viciim of the accident.
Apparently she heard him, yct his heart
beat uneasily, as he feared that she
would release her hold of the boat.
He renched a poiut ahead of the boat,
and with only a grim, fleeting glance at the
;_l:ls below, dashed courangeously into the
er,
He breasted the fierce waves determin
edly. The current was now an eddy, and
italmost swept him into das gor.
_ With intrepid calmuess he et the dane

years at college,” he said. warm'y, te
Gmho‘. “My boy, life is afl before vou,
und friendship and gratitude shall open its
most favorable benetits to you. A day or
two of restat the old maunsion to get used
o its ways, and then we must face the
cares and responsibilities of business to
gethor, which rewinds me, Mabel, that I°
must see Mr. Vance about some business
before he retires,”
The fair face fell,
“Is he on the boat?” she asked, in a con
strained tone of voice, “I thought he in
tended remaining behind?”
“Overwhelmed with grief and confusion
at getting you into trouble at the river, he
did not dare to enter into your angry pres
ence,” laughed Mr, Elliott. “Poor Vance!
he feels very b ully cut up over the affair,”
“And he wel! may, " replied Mabel, sharp-
Iy, “for I warned Lim not to venture where
& boatman’s skill and a swimm:l's courage
might show his deficiency in these accom
plishments,”
She flashed a dazzling glance of mis
chievous admiration at the bewitched Ginlio
ay she spoke.
“Giulio will take you to the cabin, dear,
when you tire of the moonlight and the
water,” said Mr, Elliott, as he left them.
“No, papa, Giulio—l mean Mr, Elliott,”
she corrected, blushing deeply, “will get my
shawl if he will, and not be cruel enough
to make me leave this beautiful scene just
yet.”
High spirits, loving emotions, beauty
heroisim, wealth, and Jaudable ambition—
all these elements were present at that hour
on the deck of the steamer, as Giulio list
eved to the happy talk of the beautiful
girl at his side. ;
The blissful hours stole away, the pass
sengers promenaded the deck or sat view
ing the lovely scene about them, until
morning’s first dawn showed the distant
¢ity so near that no thought of sleep en
tered their minds,
And hour by hour the two hearts so
strangely met felt the companionship of the
time enchain their souls in deep mutnal
interest.
A new life had opened to both. Giulio,
on the threshold of a destiny of honorable
business success, was amazoed to see how
a newly awakened love eclipsed all its for
mer allurements.

B
The Sense of Propriety,
Several years ago we were supping
after midnight at the Vaudeville coffee
house. Among those present were
Bouffe, the lessee and manager of the
Vaudeville Theatre; Briffaut, the jour
nalist; Dr. Lallemand, who was the
proprietor of the Passage Radziwill; an
old notary of the name of Dubois; Ar
mand Marrat, who was then a writer on
the staff of the 7ibune; an old Sher
iff’s officer called Mouton : and Choquart.
The latter had, as usual, grown tender
over the fate of the princes belonging
to the elder line; the Mouton, the Sher
iff's officer, whose political sympathies
inclined toward the Republic, went so
far as to say that Charles X. was an old
idiot. At this Choquart, pale with rage,
rose from his seat and said to Mouton;
““T have taken an oath to slap the face
of any man who insults my king. I
shall now, therefore, slap yours,”
The situation was exceedingly grave,
and everybody felt dreadfully uncom
fortable. Choquart suddenly stopped
short and said:
“Dear me! T owe Mouton a lonis and
cannot strike him without first reimburs
ing the money. It would be ungentle
manly in me to act otherwise. Briffaut,
lend me a louis, that T may cut Mouton’s
egrs !”
“My dear Choquart,” replied Bonffe,
““I shall only be too happy to lend you
four times the amount outside of this
place, but I cannot lend you a louis for
the purpose you mention.”
At that moment I entered the coffee
house.
““Ah! here comes Villemont,” ex
claimed Choquart, and bounding toward
me he said huwrriedly: “Lend me a
louis. Quick! T waut to box Mouton’s
ears, and delicacy requires that I should
first give back the louisthat I owe him.”
T was at a loss to make out what he
meant,
“Don’t lend it, don’t lend it!™ eried
out those who were present,
At that time of life, especially, T had
a strong reluctance to lend a louis; g 0 T
drew back.
The most amusing part of the story
is that Bouffe persuaded Mouton to be
lieve that he was no longer in safety.
A louis, you see, is no large sum,”
said Bouffe; “Choquart is bound to
have a spare one some day, and he will
carry out his threat. If I were you I
should lend him twenty louts; he'd
never be able to give back so large a
sum, and you are safe for ethe rest of
your life.”
So, after supper, Mouton offered to
lend Choquart twenty lounis, who was
dumbfounded at the proposal. He saw
the danger, but danger had special at
tractions for him. He pocketed the
gold pieces and said to Mouton as he
did so: “Never mind; we are not quits
yet. The first time I get my pension
you shall get your ears boxed all the
same,” ;
Choquart, however, was never able to
command so fabulous = sum as twenty
louis at any one time nor to wreak
righteous vengeance on the offender
whe had insulted his king.”
A Ride Down a flume,
The Chico (Cal.) Enterprise, says i=—
A, (1. Mason left the mills at 12 o’clock
the other day on o raft in the flume for
- aride to Chico. He expected to make
| the trip in three and a half hours, but
ot with several thrilling mishaps that
} delayed him until after dark and effect
' ually cured him for a raft vide to Chico,
' The ride for the first 15 miles was novel
- and grand—scenery as magnificient as
any in Serra Nevadas, But when the
' raft struck the deep canons and moun
tain gorges, with the flume stretched
along like a silvery thread from the
bottom, the ride began to take on
dangers, for the lumber that had been
~shipped in the morning was here met
with, and the real trouble commenced.
Iu one of the deep cuts the V box ra
on to a board, up-ending the raft mlg
throwing Bert high in the air, In fall
ing he grasped a small hoard nailed to
the flume and haung suspended 50 feet
from the bottom of the canon. Bert
having but one arm, found himself in a
dangerous position, and, to add to his
horror, the board he was hanging on be
gan to break. Ahout 20 feet below him
was a small platform between the joists,
gO, just as the hoard gave way, Bert
swung ont, let go his hold, and dropped.
He struck the platform, but the rebound
threw him 30 feet to the bottom of the
canon, striking on his shoulder and the
side of his face. He was stunned for a
moment, but eaught the raft. When 12
miles from Chico he was again thrown,
but this time he struck in the flume,
with a narrow escape from drowning,
As soon ag he got out Bert concluded
that he did not want any more raft
riding, and walked the remaining 12
miles to town, arriving at 7:30 ¢’clock,

The most of our accessions have been fron}

Inlaying out the plan of his missiond'fi
tour Paul sought out townsand cities whic)
had not yet been preached to, He goes to
Corinth, a city mentioned for splendor and

and the Sanhedrim were ready to leap with
both feet upon the Christian religion. He
feels he has espacial work to do, and?e means
todoit. What was the result? “The grand
estlife of usefulness that a man ever lived.
We modern Christian workers ars not apt to
im’tate Paul. We build on other people's
foundations. llf we erect a church we prefer
to have it filled with families, all of whom

We need, as churches, to stop bombarding

evangelism, spending enough on one chande- }
lier to light 500 souls to glory, and in one

In order to reach the multitude of out
siders wa must drop all technicalities out of
our religion. When we talk to people about
the hypostatic union and Fiench Encyelo
pedianism, and Erastinianism, and Com{)lu- 1
tensianisin, we arc as impolitic and lttle |
understood as if a I;’t:)ysician should talkto an
ordinary patient about the {)Bl‘ic&fifi!lm and
intercostal muscle, and scorbutic aymfmms.
Many of us come out of the theolofiica semis
naries so loaded up that we take the first ten
years to show our people how much we know,
and the next ten years get our people to |
know as much as we know, and aretohe end |
find that neither of us know anything as we i
ought to know. Here are hundreds and |
thousands of sinning, struggling and dying ,
people who neel to realize just one thing—
that Jesus Christ cams to save them, and {
will save them now. PBut we go into a pro
found and elahorate definition of what justi- I
fication is, and after all the work there ave
uot, oubsidy of the learned professions, 5,000 1
people in the United States who can tell
what justihcation is. 1 wili read you t.he‘
definition: |
* Justification is purely a forensic act, the
act of a judge sitting in t{a forum, in which |
the Hu{u‘eme Ruler and Judge, who is ac
countable to none, and who aF:ne knows the
manuer in which the ends of His universal
government can best be oblained, reckons
that which was done by the substitute in the
same mavnner as if it had been done by those
who believe in the substitute, and b on ac
count of nnythinf done by bimn, but purely
upon account of this gracious method of
recroning, grants them full remission of
th;zir sins,” . 4 L G

door : “‘ No Admittance.” Of course 1 entered.
Igot inside and found ita pin factory,and they
“were making pins, very serviceable, fine and
useful pins. So the spirit of erclusiveness
has practically written over the outside door
of many a church : “No admittance.” And
if the stranger enters he finds fimficmy
written over thesecond door: “ No Admit
tance;” and if he goes in, over all the %ew
doors seems written: “NoAdmit.tanee,”w ile
the ministar stands in the pulpit, hammering
out his little niceties of belief, pounding out
the technicalities of religion, making pins.
In the most practical, commonsense way, and
laying aside the non-cssentials and the hard
definitions of religion, go out on the God
given mission, telling the people what they
nced and when and how they can get it.
Compavitively little efforf has as yet been
made tosave that large class of persons in
our midst called skeptics, and he who goes to
work hero will not ba building upon anotner
man’s foundation, Thera is a great multi
tud> of them. They are afraid o?us and our
churches, for the reason we don't know how
to treat them. Oneof this class met Christ,
and hear with what tcalerness, and pathos,
and beauty, and success Christ dealt with
him: “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with allthy heart, and with a'l thy sou!, and
with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.
This is the first commaundmont, and the sec
ond is like to this; namely, thou shalt love
thg neighbov: as thyself, There is no
other commandment greater than this.
And the scribe said to him: “Well,
master, thou hast said the truth,
for there is one God, and to love
him with all the heart, and all
the understanding, and all the soul, and all
the strength is more than whole burnt offer
ings énd sicrifices, And when Jesus saw
that he answered discreetly, he said unto
him: “Thou art not far from the kingdom
of God.” 8o a skeptic was saved in one in
terview, But few Christian people treat the
skePtic in that way. Instead of taking hold
of bira with the gentls haud of love, wears
apt to take him with the iron pincers of ec
clesiasticism.
You would not be 8o rough on that man if
{ou kuew by what prozess he had lost his
aith in Christiauitiy. I have known men
skeptical from the fact that they grew up in
houses where religion was overdone. Sun
day was the most awful day of the week.
They had religion driven into them with a
trip hammer. The’th were surfeited with
prn{er meetings. ey were stuffed and
choked with cateshisms, They were often
told they were the worst hoys the parents
ever knew because they liked to ride down
hill better than to read’ Bunyan’s “Pilgrim’s
Progress.” Whenever father and mother
talked of religion they drew down the corners
of thelr mouth asl rollel up their eyes. If
any one thing will send a boy or ;fh-l to de
struction sooner than another that is it. If I
had had such a father and mother I fear I
should have bzen an infidel,
Others wet'e tripped up of skepticism from
being gifileVOusly wronged by some man who
profes to be a Christian, They had a
gartner in business who tufned out to be a
rst-class scoundrel, though a professed
Christian. Twenty years ago they had lost
all faith by what happened in an oil company
which was formed amid the petroleum ex
citement. The company owned no land, or
if they did, there was nosign of oil produced.
But the- President of the company was a
Presbyterian elder, and the Treasurer was an
fip!scogal vestryman, and one director was a
ethodist class leader, and the other direc
tors prominent members of Baptist and Con
gre{:tional churches. Circulars were gotten
out telling what fabulous prospects opened be
fore this companf. Dliinocent men and
women who had a little nioney to
invest, and that little their all, said: *‘l'don’t
know anything about this company, but so
many good men are at the head of it shat it
must be excellent, and taking stock in it
almost as %ood as joining the church.” So
they bougih the stock, and perhaps received
one dividend so d 8 to keefi them still, but
after a whiie they found that the company
had reorganizad and had a different presi
dent, and different treasurer, and diffcrent
directors. It was said, by way of exglana—
tion, that other engagements or ill heaith
had caused the former officers of the company,
with many regrets, to resign. And all that
the subseribers of that stock had to
show for their investment was a beauti
fully ornamented certificate. Sometimes

comes acros that cortificate, and it is

court martial trials ev&l('iy c%em‘ Is that any

residence there isa life-saving station on the
‘beach, There areall the ropes and rockets,
the boats, the machinery for getting geople
off shipwrecks. Summer before last I saw
thers &teen or twenty men who were br%a.l;-
fasting, after having just escaped with their
lives and nothing more. Up and down our
coasts are built these useful structures, and
the mariners know it, and they feel that if
they are driven into the breakers there will
be apt from shore to come a rescue. The
chuarches of (od ought to be so many life sav

are in smooth waters,but thoss who have been ‘
shipwrecked. Come, let us run out the life |

preach enough to such men; we have not
enough faith in their release. Alas, if when |
they come to hear us we are laboriously try

THE SPOOL OF THREAD.
It's Just as Good a Burglar Alarm
a 8 a Mani Could Ask for,
One day last week Dr. Wilsod had oe
casion to put $lOO, or some sum of
about that size in the safe, and a few
hour Jater chanced to discover that $lO
of it had disappesred: Dr, Wilson is a
modest man, and he was rather inclined
to believe that he had counted the
money wrongly, until on Friday once
again the pile in the safe fell away, this
time to the tune of $2O. Dr. Wilson
thought the experimental stage had
gone far enongh, and decided to pro
ceed at once to a practical operation,’
with o view to preserving the sanctity
of the safe. The closet where this solid
institution is harbored is divided from
the outer world by # deor. Dr. Wilson
got a spool of thread, tied the thread to
the door knob of the closet, and car
ried the spool with him to a back room
up stats. The closet door was closed
upon the sife;
Dr. Wilson put the spool npon achair
and sat down on the bed to await devel
opments. He also took off his shoes
and made sure that his six-shooter was
in good working order. It was still
broad daylight; the afternoon sun gilded
that little spool of thread as it lay min
ute after minunte motionless upon the
chair. Dr. Wilson had not heard a
sound in the rest of the empty house,
and it was without warning of any kind
that the spool of thread jumped off the
chair. Someb(s)dflfv had opened the eloget
doolll' and the safe was being tampered
with!
Dr. Wilson took another look at his
revolver and then slipped quietly down
the stairs. Dr. Willard’s office f;as two
doors, one opening on to the street, the
other leading into the house. The first
is always open, the latter on this oceca
sion was stealthily opened by Dr. Wil
son, He looked into the room and saw
at once that a man was calmly and in a
leisurely manner dallying with the
gacred secrets of the safe. The door of
the safe was open and the thief wonld
havehad it all his own way if Dr. Wil
gon had not been in the rear with a
grinning revolyer in his hwnd. There
wes o painful suddenness about the
guestion with which Dr. Wilson broke
the awkward period of suspense.
“Where di(}l you learn the combina
tion?” Dr. Wilson coldly asked. The
investigator of safes «Jooked around,
made a feeble attempt to speak, and
with & very white face concentrated his
gaze on the revolver, He didn’t show a
ragment of a desire to_srgue the ques
tion with bis fists or otherwise, so Dr.
Wilson went over to the telephone and
asked Central to call for a noYice officer.

Telegraph Operator Murphy Turned
from His Dire Purpose by a Story.
W. J. Murphy, who has succeeded
Benjamin Thomas as General Superind
dent of the New York, Lake Erie and
Western Railroad, was a few years ago
a telegraph operator in the employ of
the Erie Company at Port Jervis. The
late George 8. Redington, was Super
intendent of the Delaware Division,
with headquarters at Port Jervis. Ben
jamin Thomas was the train dixfiatoher
of the same division, and W, J. Murphy
was his operator. Murphy was a {loung
man, and his disposition was such that
he had an idea that it was a fortunate
thing for the company’s welfare that it
had placed him in charge of the work he
had to do. Superintendent Redington
was an old railroad man, and they make
few like him nowadays. He was bluff
and emphatic in his intercourse with his
men, but a fellow of infinite jest withal.
One day Despatcher Thomas did
something that wounded the dignity of
Operator Murphy, and the latter, re
gardless of possible consequences to the
company, made up his mind to do some
thing desperate. He would resign un-
Jess his superior apologized to him.
With this fearful determination in his
mind, he called on Superintendent Red
ington. He informege the rough and
bluff Superintendent of the indifin;ity
that had befallen him at the hands of
Despatcher Thomas, and, with an air
and tone that plainly indicated how
much he felt that the news would be a
source of ungleasant surprise and deep
regret to the Superintendent, as the rep
resentative of the company’s best inter
ests, said: :
“And unless Mr, Thomas apologizes
to me, Mr. Redington, I shall resign.”
Superintendent Redington did not
start or show nn¥ sign of agitation on
hearing this resolve of the young oper
ator, but ealmly finished writing an or
der he was preparing, Then he leaned
back in his chair, pushed his hat on the
back of his head, put his thumbs in the
arm holes of his vest, and gazed pleas
antly ov the offended operator. Finally
he said:
“Murpny, when I was a young man I
was in the service of a railroad out
West. There were some fairly eapable
railroad men overme, but I got it in m,
head that if it wasn’t for me that mi{
road would in all probability stop right
where it was, TFeeling that way, I El\t
up with a good many things rather than
make a fuss and hurt the road’s pros
peets; but one day I got mad at some
thing that didn’t suit me, and I went to
the guperintondent’s office and sent in
my resignation. It was accepted with
out any one protesting orbegging me to
stay.”
At that point Superintendent Reding
ton paused. He looked st Murphy a
minute or two with a twinkle, and then
continued: :
“Yes, sir, Murphy, I resigned, and
do vou know,” said he, bringing his
hand down on his table with a lOllg rap,
“that that—railroad is rtinning yet 2"
Murphy did not need any one to ex
plain the application of the Superin
tendent’s little story. All hisusual con
ceit and self importance fell away from
him, and he went back to his post.
That was the making of him, and to-day
holding the highest officé in the operat
ing department of the company’s ser
vice he is always ready to laugh heart
ily over the way Superintendent Red
ington received his resignation fifteen
years ago.
The Horse Jockey.
The truth of the old adage, *Give a
dog a bad name and yon might as well
hnnfilhim at once,” has never been bet
ter illustrated than in a race. Several
years ago Nick Becker, now the owner
of Glen Fisher, Hottentot, Leland, and
others, was ruled off the track at Louis
ville for the pulling of hishorse Mcßow
ling in a race over that track, and the
reputation that he then acquired has
since stuck to him *“like a bruder.”
There are even some peo&le nowadays
mean enough to say that Nick isn't as
straight as a string: but of course that's
a mistake, and his horses run in and
ount for the reason that you can't always
get the same sort of oats to feed them
with, This spring, ag Col. M. Lewis
Clark was entertaiuin%u party of turf
reporters in the cosy little club house
at Louisville, he told the following
it{ory on‘ Nickfiin oonn(f‘ction with the
eßowling affair. After explaining
how M(,B(gvlin was pulled, he said.;
“T called Nici into the stand and the
first question that I asked him was:
“‘Now, Nick, tell me the truth, how
{x.mch did you get for pulling Mcßow

“Vell, Col, Clark, you vas a goot
frent of mine. If I vin I only get tree
huntert tollar, ef I lose I get tree hun
tert und fefty. Vatcould I do? Say,
vat vould you do ¢”
“The last question was almost too
much for me,” said the Colonel, “‘and I
nearly laughed out in his face.”
After Nick had been ruled off he said
to an acquaintance: ““Mine frent dis ees

The First Circular Saw.
The Waterville, Me. Muil claims that
Capt. William Kendall, who came to
that place in 1826 and erccted a saw
mill, subsequentiy invented and put into
operation the first cireular saw for the
manufacture of lumber. The circalar
saw was in operation for sawing lumber
on our falls some years previous to 1820,
The inventors of the circular saw were
Messrs, Jacquith and Eastman, who
carried on the manufacture of lumber in
the cove, their mill occupying the site
where the pulp mill now stands. I well
remember seeing this saw in operation
orevious to 1820, outting out clap
{_mm-(ls. The logs were sawed into four
feet lengths am‘lmplaced on a machine
propelled by water power, and some
what similar to the turning lathe, where
the bark and sap wood were taken off,
They were then fastened on the clap
board machine, the log turning on its
centre and a row of clapboards cut off
by a civeular saw around the log, and
if the log was of sufficient dimensions a
second row was taken off. The log was
proyelled back and forward and turned
by machinery, givir:lg the thickness of a
clapboard by an index without the aid
of a mill man. The machine was con
sidered a great invention at the time
and attracted much attention from
strangers visiting the town,
