WOMAN HAD TRUE CHARITY Refusal to Judge Others Harshly Proves Possession of the Highest Christian Character. There died a short time ago a woman who never occupied, or aspired to occupy, a conspicuous position In the world but who was beloved by all who knew her. The secret of her charm lay In her charity not the charity of almsgiving, although she was always penhanded to those in need but the broader charity that consists in leniency toward the frailties of others. When gossip, even gossip not unduly harsh, assailed man or woman she Invariably met it with, the one response: "Well, now, maybe if you knew all About the case you'd find the poor man (or woman) wasn't so much to blame after all." What an Insight into a Christian character that remark conveys. And what a lesson in Christian charity it teaches. It Is the Ten Commandments in a single sentence. Philosopher or theologian never uttered a more beautiful thought for mankind to ponder over. Epigram maker never directed a more perfect shaft. What a different world It would be If everyone judged the world's people that way. Youngstown Telegram. Should Be Happy on Farm.

NEW AND DEADLY WEAPON

United States the Possessor of Aerial Torpedo Which Will Add Terrors to War. Thero have been several experiments on the Hempstead Plains (L. L) aviation fields which promise to revolutionize the present method of dropping aerial bombs. The experiments have been conducted with the utmost nccreey. It was learned that a new bomb probably will be put on the market soon. The experiments have been successful and this government will havo an aerial torpedo which will be fully as Important to warfare as the wireless torpedo, recently accepted by the government. The torpedo is about six feet long and may be used either from an aeroplane or sent up and adjusted to fall at a certain place. It will have a propeller and wings which can be set. It has a radius of 100 yards of explosive force, and at that distance could kill every man within that circle. OIHcers of the First Aerial company admitted that the torpedo was invented by I K. Harlow, who Is connected with the Frankfort arsenal at Philadelphia. From what could be learned, the bomb will be so constructed that the person who operates it may stay In one camp, and if an enemy camp were two miles away, the projectile could be set to go through the air as far as that, when the engine would stop and the bomb fall to the ground, exploding just before It reached the earth. Its inventor asserts its great value Is in the fact that it explodes just before It reaches the ground, and the greater portion of its power does not sink In and be taken up by the earth, but spreads over a large territory. The torpedo also may be carried on the bottom of an aeroplane, and the aviator can release it with a lever when he Is over an enemy camp. The torpedo will then explode when near the ground. SCHOLARSHIP WINS SUCCESS Statistics Show That College Men Who Graduate With High Honors Gain Distinction Later. The list of the first ten scholars of each of the classes that were graduated from Harvard college in the sixth decade of the last century, as presented by William Kosco Thayer, is a list of men eminent in every walk of life. Indeed, it is likely that the first quarter in scholarship of any school or college class will give to the world as many distinguished men as the other three-quarters. What can wo say in this connection of the 420 living graduates of the ten Wesleyan university-classes from 1890 to 1SD9? Just this, says Harper's Magazine: Of the men in that group who were graduated with highest honors, GO per cent are now regarded as distinguished either by "Who's Who in America" or by the judgment of their classmates; of those who were elected to Phi I5eta Kappa the scholarship honor society 30 per cent; of those who won no superior honors in scholarship, only 11 per cent. Of the men now living who were graduated from Wesleyan university between 1SG0 and 1SS9, 10 per cent are listed in "Who's Who;' of those who received high honors in scholarship during this period, T0 per cent; of those who attained no distinction as scholars, only 10 per cent. Busy Times. Fall is a busy season for all of us, including our bird and animal friends. Most of the birds, having raised their families while with us, have gone for their vacations in sunny climes. The squirrels are hustling from morning till night getting in their winter stores of nuts. The beavers are fixing up their funny thatched houses, and piling in green twigs for winter use. The woodchucks are burrowing away out in the üqUIs laying out subways and underground rooms, in which they are to spend the winter, snoozing and dreaming. The mother and father rabbits are cautioning their children to watch out. It's "Safety first" with them right now, for hunters with guns and dogs are on the way. Fall certainly means something to animal folk. A Submarine for Napoleon. Whenever Napoleon was banished to St. Helena various schemes were set on foot for his rescue. One of the most remarkable originated in the inventive brain of a smuggler named Johnstone. "A submarine," says Sir Walter Scott in his "Life of Napoleon," "was to be the means of effecting this enterprise. It was thought that, by sinking the vessel during the daytime, it might escape the notice of the British cruisers, and, being raised at night. out discovery. "The vessel was actually begun In one of the building yards of the Thames, but the peculiarity of its construction having occasioned suspicion, it was seized by the government. War Hits Pearl Industry. Most of the present yield of Australian pearls is going to the United States. Four-fifths of the world's output of pearl shell comes from Australian waters, but the war has hit the romantic business hard. Pearlers are getting considerably less for their product than three or four years ago before the great conIlict began, notwithstanding the cost of operation and of freights is far higher. Most of the pearling lleet Is laid up. New York Times.

D acKuoe vi By H. M. EGBERT (Copyright. 2816. by W. G. Chapman.) Perhaps Dunn should never havo joined the Northwestern mounted police, for of all types of men who are out of their element there, the moody. Introspective, unaggressive man comes easily first. But Dunn had had a hankering after the military life when he went out to Calgary two years before. Now he was in for several years, and cursing his luck daily. What he liked best was the lonely patrols up In the Big Lake country. He had met Marie Dufour there, the daughter of an old trapper who had retired, like his fur-bearing beasts, before the march of civilization. He had seen her three times during the past two years, -and it had been Understood that when he became a corporal he was to speak to her father. But the coveted stripes would never be his so long as Sergt. Mitchell remained in the squadron. A hardfeatured, service-bitten man, Mitchell made Dunn's life wretched. He inspected his uniform with an eagle eye that discovered the smallest speck or flaw, he hauled him before his officers on trivial charges; in short, he did his best to break Dunn or force him out of the service. It was a long time before Dunn discovered that Mitchell had met Marie in the Big Lake country the year before and coveted her beauty. When Dunn, understood this he privately resolved that some day he would even "You Were in the Nick of Time." up the score between them. For the present he remained quietly in barracks, doing his duty and suffering under Mitchell's ill-treatment. The quiet life was interrupted by one of those periodical excitements that descend upon the barracks. Black Doe, in a state of drunkenness, had shot a police ollicer at Neverport, and was making for the Big Lake country. Mitchell was ordered to take two troopers and get him. It was a journey of two hundred miles, in the slushy period of spring. But the police never postpones its vengeance when it can avoid it, and never abandons it. Dunn could not imagine what it was that Impelled Mitchell to select him along with Crum. Perhaps Mitchell wished to see the man he most hated in Marie's presence, so as to be more sure of his bearings. Whatever the motive, he selected Dunn, and he gibed at him all the way. He found fault with him during the long and painful day marches, with his equipment, his care of his horse, his manner of riding. He detailed him on one-man fatigues in the daytime, and gave him all the difficult work. Dunn's rage smoldered, but the idea in the back of his mind that he would get even with Mitchell hardly assumed any tangible form. In due course they reached the store at Big Lake. Their visit was a complete surprise. Black Doe had been seen in the neighborhood, and evidently was off his guard. Mitchell ascertained that he had made no purchases, without which It would be impossible for him to continue on his way northward Into the barrens. "We'll spend the night at Johnny Dufour's," he said to Crum. as the three rode away toward the shack. Dunn's heart sank when he offsaddled. Marie was already in the doorway to greet the visitors, and her eyes wandered with wonder from Dunn's face to Mitchell's. "Take my horse to the stables!" commanded Mitchell curtly. "And, say! Take Crum's. too. And see that they're well groomed before you come in to supper." Dunn went away obediently, riding his horse and leading the two others. Now he heran to understand, he thought, the reason why Mitchell had selected him. He wanted to humiliate him in the eyes of the girl. At supper Mitchell kept up a crossfire of chaff, banter, and spitefuluess,

directed at Dunn. Dunn's acquiescence seemed to enrage him. He would have welcomed a chance either for a brawl or for punishment for Indiscipline: but Dunn only sat silently, watching Marie furtively, while the sergeant's eyes were alight with triumph. He felt that he had won, had shown Marie his superiority over Dunn. They retired to their bunks. They were to start up the trail at daybreak, on the quest for Black Doe. Dunn slept fitfully; he was thinking of Marie, and his heart was full of passionate resentment. He was the first up, and went to groom the horses. As he came back to the shack he heard Mitchell's voice and the girl'a behind the open door. Mitchell had his arm round her waist and was drawing her toward him. Crum was nowhere in sight. Then Dunn knew what he meant to do. He crept back very softly to the stable and loaded his rifle. He took it in his arms, carrying it as a mother might her first born, and approached the door again. Mitchell held the girl In his arms now, and she was struggling as he tried to kiss her. Dunn, aiming deliberately, was conscious of the open door at the back of the shack, and a clump of dwarf fir about a hundred yards distant. Then he concentrated his attention upon Mitchell. Carefully he drew a bead on him so as to avoid hitting the girl. Bang! Mitchell leaped Into the air, flung out his arms, and pitched head foremost. Dunn stepped into the shack. There was no need to look more than once at the dead face, or the blood oozing from the heart. Marie ran to Dunn, sobbing wildly. "You did right, the beast!" she cried. "Come with me," said Dunn. They raced to the stables, and in a moment he had freed the horses, saddled them, and placed her on the sergeant's. In another moment they were galloping across the barrens. At the time Dunn was conscious of wondering where old Dufour and Crum were. But a moment later they heard shouts behind them. They galloped frantically forward, anywhere, so long as they could win free. Crum was a man of resolution, and Dunn knew that he would take up the chase and never leave it. He reckoned on the fact that Crum's horse was the slowest of the three. The freshly falling snow would hide their tracks if they could win the country across the river bed, where a series of hummocks swelled into the Big Lake mountains. Far behind him Dunn heard a shout. He turned and looked back as he rode. Crum was standing at the door of the stable, waving his arms to him. A few minutes later Dunn, looking back, saw Crum mounted and in pursuit of them, a tiny figure upon a tiny horse. They rode madly for the dip toward the river. "We must be careful," said Marie, as they began the descent. "The rocks are dangerous." Even as she spoke her horse tripped on a projecting bowlder, stumbled, and flung her face downward upon the hard bed of the frozen stream. Dunn leaped from his horse and kneeled beside her. She had been stunned by the fall; she opened her eyes and looked about her half-conscious. The horse scrambled to its feet, ran up the bank, and raced back toward the stable, followed by Dunn's horse. And Dunn, kneeling at Marie's side, knew that chance had settled his particular problem. And in the distance Crum came on inexorably. Dunn shrugged his shoulders as one who has played his last card. He carried the girl up to the top of the bank and waited for Crum, who came galloping up on his blown horse. lie flung himself to his feet, panting, like his steed. "What's the matter with you, to play this crazy trick after killing him?" he shouted. Dunn smiled. "I guess you're right, Crum," he said. "Take the girl on your saddle; I'll walk. You can trust me." Crum, staring at him in apparent perplexity, lifted Marie to the saddle before him. She had fallen Into a swoon again. Then he rode slowly back toward the cabin, with Dunn walking a little distance in front of him. He turned his horse away when near the stable, and went toward the little patch of stunted trees that had struck upon Dunn's attention at the moment when he raised his rifle. Dunn saw the motionless body of a man lying hidden among them. It was Black Doe. "How did you get him, Dunn?" asked Crum, dismounting and turning the body over. "See! He had just fired. You were in the nick of time." The dead man's fingers were clutched about the trigger; the rifle had been discharged; .over his heart was a bullet wound. Dunn, unable to speak, accompanied Crum back to the shack. Mitchell lay where he hnd fallen, and old Dufour was muttering in the corner, as if he did not understand. "He got poor Mitchell a second before you fired," said Crum. "Over tho heart, too. See!" Dunn looked In horror now mixed with agitation. He saw that track of the bullet through the breast and out under the rib. The missile lay upon the floor beside the inert man. It was a battered .15, such as the Indians use. Dunn's bullet "had been a .303. And it

had been Black Doe whom he had killed, not Mitchell. M. n. Van Houten recently walked from Los Angeles to Chicago to cure his rheumatism.

As the saw was cutting through a large log It came across a spike that was Imbedded in the wood, and as the band was trivcling at immense speed when It snapped, one end of it broke off and passed through the log as If shot from a cannon.
