WWW?: KS.V E Bitty and f/ie Burg tar The. action of this story really be- ■ gins in a tramway car--a Streatham car, outward bound along- the Embankment. Embankment. On a double seat outside sat; Mr. -Harkness, manager of the Brclad Street Branch of "the London City and Chatham Bank, and Mr, Deacon, of Deacon & Co., wholesale jewellers, who made a point of journeying journeying home together. "Well," said Mr. Harkness eagerly, "have you got it?" " ; "In my j>ocket," was the. reply,. "Let's hate a Took." - "Not here." "Why not? It's as safe as'houses. I'll keep my eye on it." <- Mr. Deacon cautiously drew from his pocket a black morocco case. Still more cautiously he opened it, and ze- vealed a diamond necklace. "Don't take it out of its case," he warned. "You can look at it properly when you get home." "Looks all right," ^said Mr. Harkness, Harkness, contentedly. "And it is all right, too. Exactly the same in every detail as the one" you 1 showed me in Regent Street at two hundred pounds." "And the price?" "To you it's a hundred and thirty Of course,-I'm not making any profit out of you, old man. I hope the wife will like it." "I'm sure she will. My I • Won't she get a surprise! She'll get at me for being extravagant, I know. But. hang it all, I've had a good year, anc she deserves something out of the way ! It'll be a fine souvenir of our boy's tenth birthday." "You can always realize on gooc stones," assured Mr. Deacon. 'You can get a hundred and fifty for that anywhere. Will you take it now? Well, put it in yoUr inside pocket and button up your coat." _ Mr. Harkness obeyed; By this time the tramcar was rolling and swaying on its way along Westminster Westminster Bridge Road. Behind Mr. Deacon and Mr. Harkness Harkness sat Mr. Joseph Beeson. It had been Mr. Joseph Beeson's intention to alight at a point in the Westminster Bridge Road, but he chankéd his mind, and bought a ticket to the terminus. Eventually, when Mr. Deacon and Mr. Harkness left the car, he followed their example. Unlike the other two men, Mr. Beeson Beeson was neither silk-hatted not well- groomed. He wore a large tweed cap, that tended to hide the features of his massive, unshaven face. An unobservant eye might have taken him for a professional pugilist who had fallen on evil times. Ho was, as a matter of fact, a burglar. His professional instincts were aroused by the sight of the diamond necklace, and by what he had heard regarding its value. When Mr. Deacon Deacon parted from Mr. Harkness at the corner of Acacia Avenue, he followed the latter. At No. 12, Acacia Avenue, Mr. Harkness stopped, opened the gate, marchèd up the drive, let himself into his desirable residence, and disappeared. disappeared. Mr. Beeson made a careful mental note of the number of the house, and then strolled on. And Mr. Joseph Beeson, under the parlor sofa, congratulated himself on having got into the x house before the locking-up process began. < "I'll* just open these 'ere French windows, so's I can get out," he said to himself, "and then I'll make a start." III. Billy Harkness rolled over on his other side and grunted. He was engaged engaged in an involved and somewhat bewildering encounter against cora- binèd forces of Red Indians and Germans. Germans. He had a pistol in each hand, and was inflicting fearful loss on the enemy. He grunted again, and in his endeavor endeavor to free his -feet from the stirrups stirrups kicked the bedclothes off him. This action caused the Red Indians, highwaymen and Germans to fade from his mental vision. He awoke. The next instant tie remembered that it was his birthday, and that more likely than not his presents were already already lying on the foot of his bed. He was about to make investigations investigations when a sharp but muffled squeak met his ears. A voice sounded, "Blast!" Very quietly Billy sat up in bed and reached for ' the electric-light switch. The light sprang up. Fumbling at the foot of. Billy's- bed was Mr. Joseph Beeson. For the moment moment Mr. Beeson was very much alarmed. The sight of a very small boy sitting up in bed blinking at him was reassuring. "You keep quiet!" muttered Mr. Beeson, threateningly, still holding in his hand the fluffy rabbit which had betrayed him. "What are you?" demanded Billy. "Look, 'ere, my lad," whispered Mr. Beeson, hoarsely. "I'm a burglar, that's wot I am. So you keep your mouth shut, or I'll shut it for you!" He raised a threatening fist. Billy's eyes open wide. "A real burglar?" he asked, in an awed whisper. "Yus; a real burglar." "Where's your mask ? Haven't you got one?" "Shut up, Ï tell" yer!" "I don't believe you're a real burglar," burglar," persisted Billy. "Real burglars have masks. I know, because " "Shut it!" chep, in which he locked him up. Then he rang for* the police. Y- Billy refused to return to bed until he. had: seen the departure of Mr. Beeson. , To allay his excitement he vpas taken to his parents' room. They bent over him as he lay, very quiet. /Then he opened his eyes. "Father!" he said, drowsily. "Yes, my boy?" . "Are you sure he was a real burglar?" burglar?" "Quite sure, sonny." Billy sighed deeply, and snuggled., among the, bedclothes. There was silence, silence, broken only by his regular breathing. His farther and mother were watching him proudly. His lips moved. ' "He was a real one," he murmured. --London Answers. : CANADIANS FOREVER. Air "The Maple Leaf.' / With tuneful lips your voices raise And happy be awhile; Still gladsome as the voice of praise .

In the hall of No. 12 Acacia Avenue Mr. Harkness found his wife awaiting him. In spite of the fact--or, perhaps, perhaps, because of it--that they had been married twelve years these two were more in love with each other than ever. In his "wife's company Mr. Harkness ceased to be a bank manager, manager, and became quite human. "Where's.Billy ?" he cried, after kissing her. "In bed and asleep. You mustn't go to him!" was the command. "He's so excited about hTs birthday to-morrow. Do you know, I believe he's seen that bicycle you've bought him!" "Shouldn't be at all surprised," said Mr. Harkness. "If there's one thing it seems impossible to hide it's a bicycle. bicycle. However, we'll pull his leg .with that squeaking rabbit. He fancies fancies he is far too big now for squeaking squeaking rabbits." "So he is, Jack! He's ten. And a Boy Scout!'"' "That means he's about twenty, really," laughed Billy's father proud- he had collided, and rushed Jy, as they entered the dining-room. as Mr. Harkness spent a quiet evening with his wife, and then, together, they set out Billy's birthday gifts. The bicycle bicycle was carefully carried unstairs and placed outside Billy's' bed-room door. On the foot of his bed were just an orange and a squeaking rabbit. That was by way of being Mr. Hark- ness's little joke. "You don't think he'll be disappointed disappointed when he finds only these ? " asked Mrs. Harkness,. a trifle anxiously. . "Of course not. Billy's got a sense of humor," was the reply. "He'll be in our room as soon as he wakes, wanting to know what we mean by it. Now, you run off to bed, old lady, and I'll come up presently." She kissed him, and obeyed; "Z As Mr. Harkness sat alone over his last pipe thinking pleasant thoughts, he drew from his pocket 'the leather case, and furtively looked at the necklace. necklace. It was a very handsome necklace--one necklace--one of the handsomest he had ever seen. Not every woman could show it off to advantage, but his wife could, bless her! Then, knocking out his pipe, • he went round the house, seeing that windows and doors were secured,'and at last climbed the stairs. Mr. Beeson, avoiding further argument, argument, crept to the door. "Did you come here to burgle that rabbit ? " asked Billy. "My father will be very angry if you do. I heard him telling mother about it. That rabbit is a joke of father's." Mr. Beeson hurriedly laid the rab- )it on the bed. It emitted another pathetic squeak. I'm too old for rabbits," said Billy. "Aren't you? 7 ' Mr. Beeson did not reply. The object object on which he was concentrating all iis attention was his escape. He cursed the ill-luck that had led him to he wrong room. He had had to screw up his courage to the sticking- ; joint to tackle so dangerous a Job, and now it had failed, and all because a small boy refused to be frightened into keeping quiet. In fact, the small boy looked quite capable of alarming the house. If he made*the attempt Mr. Beeson had a quick way of silencing him. But Mr. Beeson did not want to take extreme measures unless they were absolutely necessary. He hesitated at the door, and then crept back to the bedside. 'If you cry out or make any noise for ten minutes, I'll come back and kill you dead!" he hissed. "How?" Billy wanted to know. "I don't want any more of your back talk," whispered Mr. Beeson more savagely. "I'm going now. Don't forget wot I tells yer." He crept from the room. Billy hesitated hesitated for a second only, then, very quietly, stole from the bed. His heart was beating very fast. He was tremendously. tremendously. afraid. It took him all his time to remember that he was a Boy Scout, and that, he had a job on hand that would make him the envy of the whole company. A sudden crash .and a muttered execration execration caused his heart to leap into his mouth. The next moment he had rushed on to the landing. _ "That's-, my bicycle!" he cried, appealingly. appealingly. "Don't burgle my bicycle." Mr. Beeson extricated himself with* all speed from the bicycle into which boldly down the stairs. He had, reached the second flight, when a sudden blow ' on the small of his back sent him plunging forward. A hoarse gasp escapes him, and that was all. He lay, winded and struggling struggling for breath, at the foot of the stairs. Lights appeared* all around him. A man's voice shouted : " "What on earth's the matter ?" Mr. Harkness stood tin the landing, pyjama-rclad, gating in consternation at Billy, who brandishing his scout's staff, and beside himself with excitement, excitement, flew towards him. "It's a burglàr, father!" he cried shrilly. "He had your joke rabbit, and he was going to take my bicycle. •Quick, father! See if he's a real burglar!" burglar!" Mr. Harkness made 'investigations. As the wind returned to Mr. Beeson, a gurgling sound broke from his throat. • "It's all right, mister. I won't make, no fus?," . he panted. "That b,oy o' your'n, 'e 'it me in the back " - "I couldn't help it father," protested protested Billy; "it was the only place I could hit him."

OCEAN LINER HESPERIAN HAS BEEN SUNK 12 Passengers Were Drowned, Another Died of Exposure Exposure and 13 of Hesperian's Crew Perished. A despatch from Queenstown says: The Allan Line steamship Hesperian, torpedoed ^150 miles off Queenstown Saturday evening, sank at 6.45 o'clock Sunday morning after Capt. Main and a volunteer cpew of 25 had made a brave fight to "bring the crippled ship into port. Two mine sweepers and two Admiralty tugs towed the vessel. During the night the Hesperian settled settled gradually by the head. Daylight showed the decks awash and the liner about to take the final. plunge. The captain and crew were taken off by rescue boats, and landed later in Queenstown by the steamer Empress. Empress. Six second cabin passengers, six third cabin passengers and thirteen of the crew of the Hesperian were unaccounted for according to the revised revised official figures. This brings the death list; "including 'Miss Ellen Car- bonnery, of St. John's, Newfoundland, who died from exposure after arriving arriving here, up to 26. Miss Carbonnery was 70. years of age, and was a wealthy owner of a ladies' empeorium in St. John's. She was returning from her semi-annual trip to London with Fall fashions. She had some reputation reputation as a writer and poetess. The body will be sent home for interment. The names of the,missing second cabin passengers follow: Miss Bannister, Bannister, Mrs. Fisher, Joseph Fowler, Mrs. Hannah Fowler, Maria Jenkins and Miss Murray. The captain of the stricken liner declined to comment on the disaster for publication; hence the tifficial statement must come from the Ad^ miralty, although the captain is quoted quoted as having told an Allan Line ' official official to-day that the Hesperian was torpedoed. Most of the survivors, passengers and crew, will leave Queenstown tomorrow tomorrow by special train and boat for Liverpool. _ Captain Main and the officers who remained aboard the steamer while efforts were being made to tow the liner to port were able to save some of their effects before the _ ship plunged to the bottom, *78 miles south-west of Fastnet, not far from the scene of the attack, taking with her 3,545 bags of mail, much of it originating in neutral countries. There were also 559 receptacles containing parcel post matter for Canada. The flooding of the forward compartment, compartment, which causèd the Hesperian Hesperian to sink so much by the head as to throw the propellers out of the water made the task of towing the liner to Queenstowh impossible in the rough sea.

The righteousness on which the Bible is forever insisting and which it is forever pressing on the attention of men as being both their supreme duty and glory is all inclusive. It is not a single virtue. It embraces all the virtues. The righteous man is truthful, honest, pure minded, temperate, temperate, just, generous, kind, merciful. A man may be honest and yet not temperate; fie may tell the truth and yet be lacking in generosity. But a man cannot be a righteous man and be lacking in any of the specific virtues. virtues. Truthfulness alone, or generosity generosity by itself, or temperance alone is not enough to exalt a nation or a man. Only righteousness can do that. Not a Righteous Man. Again, this righteousness which the Bible commends so highly and insists on so vigorously is not a negative or passive thing. It is active, aggressive, enthusiastic, impassioned, absorbing. If a man's so-called righteousness does not compel him to hate and resist resist iniquity, to put his heel on the head of every hissing falsehood he is cognizant of, to overcome and thwart evil, to expose and punish injustice and cruelty, to take sides against oppression oppression and wrong, that man is fooling fooling himself. He may be amiable, peace loving, polite, but he is not a righteous man. He may feel sorry when he sees a big bully abuse a weak and defenceless man, but if he does not run to the help of the poor victim victim his righteousness is a sham. He against innocence, but if his feeling of indignation does not take form in active defence of the innocent his so- called righteousness is the sheerest hypocrisy. Oh, but we are told by very high human authority that a man or a nation nation ought to be too proud to fight. If by that we are to understand that a man or a nation ought to be too proud to pick a quarrel, well and good. Righteousness first and then peace. That is the moral order of heaven and Must be the Order of Earth. God would not be God without that and man would not be man without it. God would be lacking in dignity and in moral majesty without , it and man would be mere paste without it. * God's throne is established on the righteousness that opposes wrong, defends defends the weak, relieves the oppressed, oppressed, delivers the slave, pulls down the power of the tyrant, and is the only true basis of national prosperity and power. Oh, what irredeemable fools we are as a people and -how slow and sodden of heart are we to think that vast wealth will exalt our nation, that abundance of corn on the tops of our mountains and of cotton in our valleys will make us great! And what a heritage of woe we are storing up for future Americans because in the day when tremendous issues are at stake and priceless interests are trembling in the balance our lust for gain will not permit us to drop in even a pennyweight pennyweight that might tip the scales in favor of that righteousness which alone can exalt our nation and save may have some feeling of indignation | the peoples of the world.
