Treated the Hospitals. The London Hospital bus distributed antomntie collecting boxes, with n hand Indicating the collection made, and the statement that a donation of one penny keeps the hosI it::l for oue second. In the bar of an East Bind public house, one of the o London Hospital collectiug boxes attracted the attention of u crowd of sailors who had just been paid off With great delight they started putting pennies in the slot. An elderly mru, who looked like a bo'sun, wr*. one of the crowd, and he watched the proceedings with drunken solemnity. Having obtained five* shillings In coppers, he approached the collecting box. "Boys,” said he, “don't be too speedy. Take if. easy. Change yer money an’ crowd her up to i'10. If she'll hold it. .See, Us like this. There's 240 pennies in a quid. At a penny a second that keeps the show goin' for four minutes. Now. mates.’ continued the old man, ''forty minutes Is lime enough for & square feed, an' weil make our forty minutes the dinner time for the houpiialB, to-morrow, so as to get full vally. I’ve been In hospitals, an’ I knows the ways on ’em. We’ll treat the horspital to to-morrows'* dinner.” And they did.

L'*w- for Niiidcr’s Silk. Several small articles of w'earing apparel have been made of silk woven from spiders' webs, nnd they were found fo be more durable, lighter In weight, and mwe pleasing to the touch than a nicies made of the ordlnary kind Ot silk. Spiders' silk is ' not likely to become popular, however. because spider* cannot be cultivated profitably owing to tkeir enormous Hppetites. The spider ought not. to be regarded as an enemy *o mankind, for h doc* a great service as a destroyer of Insects. The speed with which it can gobble up a house fly Is amazing. It ba» been calculated that a man. eating at the same rate as a spider, would require "a whole fat ox for breakfast, an ox nnd li»e sheep for dinner, for supper two bullocks, eight sheep and four hogs, and, just before retiring, nearly four barrels of fresh fish." It Is. how ever, a wasteful feeder, and often only Bucks tne Juices of its victim, dlseaidlng the more solid parts.

SrrUH* HcsMan Proverbs. Here arc- some proverbs commonly on the lips of the people of Russia: When the thunder ceases the peasant forgets to cross himself. A man needs only not,to be a I cripple or a hunchback to be sccounted a handsome fellow by the women. • - Even an ohl man cun win * woman’s love and keep It If he Isn't jealous. When the devil cannot arrive In ■.line, be sends a woman on before him. Praise your wife, not three days after the wedding, but three yer.r« after It—if you can. Poverty !» noi a sin, but It is the cause of man). At home a man ia Judged by bis dress; abroad by his wit. Fellow-travellers and fellow-gam-blers soon know esch other well. A He loid cleverly may he truer than the truth told foolishly. Misfortune come* b) the hund , 'eilweight and goes by the ounce Flffect of !*•» an Color*. l>ew 1h a great respecter of colors.

ODDOCtCOODODCOOODOOOOOi Had Bronaon been the ordinary t>|x. of matt lire incident would neter have happened. But Hionaon uaa r.ot ordinary In any *eime of the word. Ill* greatest hobby wa* «*Ui philanthropies. At the jewel counter of one of the department atore* Bronaot'. heard * g.ri's voice lamenting the fact Incidentally that she could not have the dainty pendum at which *h* whs i,w*lQg longingly. "They are my bli t batones,” r.be told the clerk. "»ud I need the luck they w-otild bring me. No,” *he *ltook her head and handed back I bo velvet case ‘T would bavo to go without hint he# for three years in order to pay for it.” Bronson was uncomfortably *uf. ceptlble to the timbre of a voice. Had thi# girl* voice asked bira for a limousine with satin upholstering he would have, given It to her on the moment of asking There waa a wletful appeal in the rich lone*. ‘T will bm e .'tin send me those cuff links when the engraving Is finished," she waa saying to the clerk A moment later she had given hei name and adrtrtrs and turned from the oour.ter. Bronson did not look after her. He was not Interested in her as a woman. He; knew not that her well wore suit bad come fron one of the lesser stores and that her batierod music roll held all that was dear !o her. Bronson only knew he was going to purchase the pendant and send it to her. His ear had been acutely sensitive to the girl's name and ad-

dress.

“Show mo that opt/1 and diamond pendant?" he asked of another clerk who had not serv nd Avis Brayton— for such was the girl’s name. He looked carefully at the dainty pendant. It was a charming mingling of small appals, diamonds and pearls, though not of costly extrav-

agance.

"Send this to Miss Avis Brayton,•* he told the clerk and gave her the address. He scribbled a line on a blank card, paid her bill and went his way rejoicing that he was able to satisfy a small craving of a human being less fortnnate than himself In material means. While delight glowed in the eyes of Avis when she got the package, che would have returned it. had she known or been able to learn from whom It came, sho put the warm, life-reflecting stones about her neck. “Ah!'' she said. “1 already fpel they are bringing me luck.”

• •

It was two years late.r Mist Bronson entered the. Van Wilde’s spacious drawing room. The affair was a dlnasr-muBicab*. otherwise Bronson might not have been there: his fondness for the good music Mrs. Van Wilde usually offered bod been the bait. He was more or less attracted to a girl to whom he had not been presented. She was extraordinarily beautiful, and evidently one o? the song birds. She was even then making her way to the side of the grand piano. Bronson sighed. Surely a girl so lovely could not be possessed of very great musical ability. That wonld be such an abundance of gifts seldom given to one being. The girl had not sung a singlo phrn*e before Bronson's heart guvo an uncomfortable bound. The voice was rich and rarely wistful. Ho could not remember haring heat'd any voice, the timbre of which so deeply moved him. He sat hack and absorbed each lovely note. . Litter he met the wonderful girl, and realized he bad lost his heart to her. Mrs. WlMe asked him to lead her Into dinner. At the dinner table It was Jimmy Rodg;^ who made thlstartling suggestion. “1 want yon to dlnabnse our minds as to oue mattei-. Miss Brayton,*' he said with a laugh. “All famous people are supposed at one time to have gone about bare-footed and all that sort * thing, ’fell u* the true story of your Ilf* ” * general laugh fol-

lowed.

Avis Brayton smiled, and while sfie said It j a long story, and a true one she would go no further back than to admit that she was Ytyy poor once, whan some one anonymously sent her the necklace then around her neck. “I have never known who sent it.” sho said, “but It bronght me luck from the hour I got It, and I would not part with It even were the donor to ask for it.” Bbe stopped now for laughter had rippled about tbo table. Accusing fingers were pointing at Bronson. “There couldn’t be two eccentric philanthropic specimens — Bronson here is the guilty party or I'm a Dutchman'' laughed Jimmy Rogers. ‘‘He is notorious, .Miss Brayton.” Avis Brayton tornod squarely toward the uncomfortable man at her side A dull( red bed sprung Into hi*

clteeka.

“Your eccentricity In this •ase, Mr Bronson, has given roe all my success," she said softly in that me')low voice ihai bad a wistful timbre. “t have a f“< ling that one dny—1 can iirwsrd you." Bronson gai.ed «t ber until a soft color crept Into her cheeks, then he removed his gisnee and gave ba*l! /hr boater that was being geaxerousiy buritd toward him.

^COOCCCCCOOGOOOOCOCXXXXX) £ The Vow That ^ ^ W ent W'rong § OODOODODDODDOODODOODODODCO “Five dollars, air. it In an *x cellent weapon which will bring dow :. a loan at a distance of fifty yards.” Mr. Varln fingered the revolver gingerly and Hied to appet/r calm, ihojufli his wife's artloUK had filbt! him with such despair (ha< bis <>ul> thought sag death. - lie iKid married ber because she was beautiful, although she did no! poses* a penny, and he bad taken ber to a comfortable home, where she noon felt bored to death, because she bad nothin*, to do but look

pretty.

After a while she grew tired of her unAileresiing, carelcei« hiicbacit, and eloped with a hamtuomc young man of leisure, who filled her cars with all the pretty words the had longed to hear from ihe lip* of her husband, who felt too secure of her lo pay compliments to her, though he loved ber a* much as It was pos sible for him to love any one. Mr. Varin paid for the revolver, hailed a cab and drove home, with the intention of ending bis life in the rooms where every little thin^. reminded him of her. Standing in front of the big ralr ror in their bedroom, he pressed the cold muzzle of the revolver against bin temple and skivered, lie saw the whole scene that was to follow — the discovery of his body by the police, the arrival of the doctor, the street outside the house filled with a curious crowd. Then he thought of his wife, to whom the news of his death would perhaps come as a relief, and resolved to live for revenge. His one aim would now be to catch the guilty couple and kill them both before giving himself up to the police. He saw himself the .hero of a setisar tional trial ending with acquittai. This prospect being far more alluring than suicide, ho went to bed to dream of the dreadful pun' hment lue would inflict upon the two who had wrecked his happiness. The next day—a cold. gray, cheer less morning in December—he got up, aa usual, and sat down to eat his breakfast alone, before he went to his office. Many long, monotonous days followed this, but gradually he grew used to the loneliness and no longer understood his first excitement; but to his colleagues he still posed as the stern unforgiving husband who lived only In order to get revenge. Furiously dipping his pen In tho Ink, he said, time and time again. In a voice that trembled with indignation, ’’.Some day I will catch the two, and then 1 will kill them, If I have to give up my own life to the gallows

for it.”

Tlie others fried to calm him, but he refused to listen to them: "Never, never will I forgive or forget 1 think too much of my honor for

that!”

After a while the others grew tired of bis eruptions and did not appear to notice them at all; and, as for Varin himself, the whole afftilr ‘bad long ago ceased to interest him. When ho was alone he surprised himself feeling happy at the though* of being a free man once more, and one night in July he slipped the still loaded revolver into his pocket, walked down to the river and sauntered along the drive. It was a real summer day, light and hot. as such days are in New York. Women passed by, dressed in the lightest of gossamer gowns with low neck and short sleeves looking like Bowers Just breaking out of the buds. Mr. Varin looked at them, threw his revolver Into the river, and invited a charming young girl to

dance.

#***»*«**« THE FRIENDLY PATH

By WALTER I. ROBINSON. 4jTTK OFTEN stood beside bis gale. An honest faced old man.” The unknown author of these lines introduce* a cha/seter known to everyone and generally loved. In every > unaimmiiy there imiy be found the aged man, with the hitppy, smiling face. The world lias out showered a great amount of wealth upon him. He has gene through trouble and sickness, lie leans upon lit* worn cane before ihe humble dwelling and he smiles and chain in his quaint fashion whenever one pusses the gate. Many who are more fortunate than lie feel more cheerful when they receive his greeting. They understand that be has come to the evening of his Iffe without piling up riches and without winning wide honor. They tire buttling unoeaslngly to win both. They cannot find Hie cause for the peaceful look on the old nuin’s face. They cannot Imagine anyone hrirg happy In his declining year»i without accomplishing much that they aim to gain. If one asked this familiar character to explain the cause for Ills apparent content. He probably could not comply with the request. The reason Is so simple that even he does not recognize it. He has acquired what n-itlier money nor honor can buy He bns lived an honest life nnd btoks the world squarely in the face. Countless i»ersons are his trustful friends. Lacking imich that others possess, he nevertheless has a clear conscience nnd iiis mind is at rest. The smiles he receives from the populace arc the blessings which his own open-hearted friendliness hat brought him to tiring sunshir.t into his few remaining: days or years. The world needs to catch the spirit of liis kindly old soul. One is poor indeed, regardless of his accumulation of gold or ins poverty, if he approaches’ the • •no of the path without sincere friends. (Copyright.)
