"1 believe , you, Tom. and would trust you this minute with every cent 1 have in the world. As you know, it is one of my theories that it is better to save a naturally honest man who has gone wrong, and make a good citi. zen out of him again, than to wreck him by the disgrace of his having been There is little more to tell. In the few following days I managed to scrape enough together to take me to. the foreign country where I am now beginning life over, and have prob-; ably weathered the storm as well as could reasonably be expected. But of course I will never again feel just as I used to. and I don’t believe that I will ever fall in love with another woman. In a business way I have done fairly well, having worked con- scientiously for the last three years, and being once more on the road to moderate success. I have never seen or heard from Mrs. Dace since the time I left her s‘nOpping in the store upon the day when I stepped from paradise into hell at a single stride. She is probably floating down the Nile or yachting on the Mediterranean with Richard Mackay; enjoying her- self to a greater or less extent, and I have no doubt thinking quite often of me. The thought of it still gnaws me most of the time, but of one thing Igm confident to this day. And that is that she was really very fond of me and would. as she herself said. have preferred to spend her life with me rather than anybody else, had 1 rpossessed sufficient money. There :fore she wanted me to succeed and ?encouraged me to desperate chances, Eknowing as I myself did that it was the only chance of achieving fortune quickly; she not being one of the kind that is content to wait for what they want indefinitely. Therefore she goaded me on with the determination to make me and have me, or break me and discard me without losing any time in finding out which it was to be. As she partially confessed, luxury was her price, and the means to that end meant a man of means. Had I won I have no doubt that she would have married me and that we would have been happy had the money lasted. And I also believe that she was upon the verge of consenting to our imme- diate union when my disaster came. Neither have I any doubt but that Mackay was infatuated with the wo- man, saw that I was winning her, and started out to get rid of me. He prob- l ably learned of my Speculations, and knowing that if he could wreck them it would effectively dispose of me so far as she was concerned, ruthlessly tore down the fortunes of many that I might be crushed in the crash. _And In iucceeded nedectly.

Realizing as I did all along that we never could have been happy {without considerable money, I would ot have blamed her particularly for aking the choice that she did had ot Mackay been a married man. * ven as it is, I bear her no ill will, ~, nd do not believe that she was an :immoral woman. There was a great deal of good in her, but she was self. iish and cared little for the sufferings {of others provided she gained her {own pleasures. The only fear I have of ever again committing a crime is Bruce and Clare are married, and} are happily spending the money of' dead Uncle Abner, who cut me off with a shilling. And that brings me to the reason for writing this confes- sion. Uncle Abner having passed in- to the great beyond, I no longer have' any fear that. I will be prosecuted, and I never would be able to feel that I, had made my fullest reparation un-; less I cleared Bruce. For in some way; a few things leaked out, and while his; friends have clung to him with the’ greatest loyalty, there are others who, have always looked upon him with! more or less suspicion since the night! of the robbery. And I know that the} consciusness of this is a cloud thati forever hovers upon the horizon of} their otherwise bright lives, and it is,‘ therefore, my moral duty to dispel st.i As for myself. it makes little differ-l ence if the truth is now known. a5~ none of my former acquaintancgsi know where I am and I shall never r - ! turn to my old home. | Nor do I ask forgiveness or malt: apology beyond this statement. I was not a thief by nature and am thor- oughly repentant. But I was young anh madly enraptured with the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. a (I took desperate chances to gain her. And my love for her, though passion filled, was pure. I wanted her for 1r; wife. As I stole for her. so would I have slaved for her; fought for her; died for her. Therefore I only ask that you judge me as you would be judged had you been in my place. Caught helplessly in the maelstrom of love and gaming, I went down in the vortex. in case I should happen to run across that black scoundrel Mackay. If I should see him I am afraid I might run amuck. AN ANCIENT GAME Mrs. Rogers had the barrel of rus- set apples placed in the attic because they were not quite ripe enough to eat, and she warned her three boys, whose ages range from five to eleven years, not to touch them. Then, one rainy day, when she sought the attic to get something from a trunk, she came full upon her sons, surrounded by apple-cores. At her approach two of the boys drew closer together; but the third, a little distance off, who lay on his stomach contentedly munching an apple, ap- parently paid no attention to his mother's entrance. “Jack! Henry! William!” she ex- claimed, reproachfully. “Whatever are you doing? And those apples! Didn’t I tell you not to touch them?" “Yes, mamma,” replied Jack, the eldest, “but we’re not really eating them; we’re acting the Garden of Eden. Willie and I are Adam and Eve. Henry, over there, is the ser- pent, trying to lead us to our down- fall by showing us how good the ap- ples are.” “But,” began the mother, as stern- ly as she was able, “you two must have been eating apples; Henry hasn’t done it all. I see as many as ten cores around you." “Oh, yes,” returned Willie, the youngest, “we’ve all been taking turns being the serpent.” A farmer was sawing wood, when it occurred to him that he ought to have the help of one or more of his five sons. Lifting up his voice, he called, but not a boy appeared. At dinner, of course, they all appeared. “Wheré Wei‘e you_ all about two hours ago, when I wanted and called “;‘I was in the shop settin’ the saw.” said one. for “And I was in the barn settin’ a hen ” said the second. “I was in grandma’s room, settin' the clock, ” said the third. “I was in the garret, settin’ the trap," said the fourth. “You are a remarkable set!” re- marked the farmer. “And where were you?” he asked of the youngest. “I was on the doorstep, settln’ still! ” “What’s become of old Sammy Silk? I ain't seen ’im about for quite a. long time.” “Wiat! Ain’t you ’eard? A two- ton block of stone fell on his chest and killed ’lm.” . “Ah!

Among savage tribes a bag of salt was worth more than a man. Teutons waged war for salt streams. Oldest trade roads were salt routes. Via Salaria (salt road), oldest in Italy, was made to carry salt for Romans. Roman solâ€" diers were paid an allowance for salt â€"their “salarium.” or “salary;” hence a worthless soldier “not worth his salt.” The Jews prized it highly be- cause they lived in a warm climate where food was difficult to keep. Their religion made it necessary to use it in sacrifice. It was sold in temple market. So Christ was using a familiar figure. Their mission was to cleanse and sweeten the world, to keep it from decay. If they defaulted in that they were flat. tasteless failures. indeed. Democracy of Religion. The symbol was good and common. The Creator has stored it away in abundance. It’s a democratic com- modity, surely. found on table of poor and rich. Diamonds are rare. costly. belong to aristocracy; few can afford hem. Yet salt is more precious than diamonds. If all diamonds in the world were to disappear the world would not be seriously inconvenienced. but if all the salt of the world should disappear humanity would die. for blood would thicken. fevers would burn through veins, energies would fail, hearts would lag, food would rot. the race would perish. The disciples ,were common salt people. content to ”live and labor with the masses. he- longing to the whole worldâ€"not the idle. nonproducing Four Hundred of any community. but the workers at desk and bench and forge and field. These are the world’s saviors. the salt of the earth. Notice how wide their territory. “Of the earth”â€"not Galilee 'alone. The gospel pushes out our 'frontier, expands our horizon. enâ€" ilarges our sky line. Christ was just lnow standing on a mountain top, the vaulted dome of a universal Father spread overhead. We sneer at our neighbor’s religion; we are the people. But “God so loved theâ€"world!" "Ye are the salt of theâ€"earth." The True Preservative. Christianity is to be a world savior. Salt triumphs over those enemies of life and health in food and human system that produce fermentation. de- composition, disease and death. It dis- solves into animal and vegetable fluids. melts away out of sight, quickly and silently pervades the whole tissue “Wife. what’s matter with the soup? It’s insipid. lacks taste.” “Oh, I forgot the salt.” A sprinkle does the trick. ; Christianity is the salt. It must come Einto contact, though. Won’t do any , good in barrel or bin. Religion mustn’t lbe locked up in the heart. In these days we are afraid to drink from the same cup. ride in the same car, sit at the same table. shake hands with a stranger, like high caste Brahman re- fusing to touch low caste Hindu. We must not let our piety be that kind. Jesus, the cleansome man. touched the foulsome leper! I’ve seen a white ribboned deaconess or Salvation Army lassie in dark alley at midnight where police went only by twos and armed. Only Christianity saved the old hea- then world. Classic writers tell us Greece and Rome were rotting. At every crisis of the world’s history the salt saves itâ€"Augustine. Savanarola. Luther- Wesley. When Christianity becomes a government instead of a gospel, a system instead of a salvation. a mere organization instead of “the visible body of Christ on earth." then the salt has lost its savor. The sodium chloride is washed out. Only soil re- mains. The Bible is a dictionary or finest simlles. Eagles, storks, doves: syca- mores. almonds. apples; rubies. sap- phires. pearls; animals. birds. fish. flowersâ€"all are part of wonderful imagery used to illustrate speech. Now the Nazarene holds up a crystal 01' salt before his disciplesâ€"“Ye are the salt of the earth.” That conveyed The Salt Hungry World. Have you a savor? The pear has flavor, the flower perfume. You cannot weigh or analyze either. The secret or greatness is savor, a certain subtle something that afiects others. Lincoln and Lee. two great simple unafi'ected men. were marvelous in their savor. The salt of their character sweetened and preserved those who knew them. They were the salt of their times. men of great heart. Others there were of intellect. clear as a frosty night. but just as cold in heart. They are for- gotten. The world needs saving sadly Jails and churches are built side by side. Preachers are pleading; police- men are patrolling. Both come of the same factâ€"the world needs saving. Weeds grow without care; grain. fruit and vegetables require toil and culti ration. The policeman clubs to curl) crime; the preacher pleads to correct the cause. The church has been the only agency for ages working for the redemption of man. “But if the salt has lost its savor. wherewith shall it be salted '2” Meanwhile we are making handcufis and building jails. we make treasurers give bonds and clerks us. cash registers. and the car conductu' records the nickel received.

In his young du, s the poet Coleridge had a little love :1 lair which ended in disaster, for the lady refused him. In despair he enlisted in a cavalry regi- ment which he hoped would be or- dered on foreign service. For familn reasons he drOppr-d his correct name. but from a feeling or sentiment re- tained the initials. so Samuel Taylor Coleridge became Private Silas Tomp- kins Camberbatch. The regiment did not leave the country, and it was not long before his soul wearied of bar- rack life and its utter absence or ro- mance. His military life ended in a curious fashion. One day while Cole- ridge was doing a weary sentry so two omcers strolled past. One or them made use or a Greek quotation which the other corrected. The first insisted on his correctness. while the other was just as positive he was wrong. While they disputed the sentry sud- denly presented arms and respectfully, informed them that they were both in error. He gave the exact quotation. name or the author and other circum- stances. This incident led to an inâ€" quiry, and the poet was restored to the bosom of his familyâ€"London Graphic. “Asakuse temple is dedicated to thd goddess Kwannon. a tiny image OI gold, about two and one-half inches high,” writes a traveler in Japan. “A. the entrance to the temple grounds on either side or the immense gate stand two large and fearful looking figures, guarding the sacred precincts.

Each worshiper, be- fore entering the temple, calls at a small building, and after contributing a small amount. washes his hands and rinses his month. In front of the main shrine is a large aperture in the floor, covered with latticework, into which the worshiper casts his gift. After clapping his hands to awaken or at- tract the attention of the god, he kneels, but his prayer is only brief. While there is one chief shrine there are many others under the same roof. One shrine especially attracted my at- tention; it was made of Wood, and quite disfigured and worn through the constant rubbing of hands on the spot corresponding to the afflicted portions of the sufferers' bodies.”-Chicago News. ' Tower of Hercules. Travelers may still see on the coast of the English channel at Dover the ruins of a Roman lighthouse that was built at the time or the Roman con- quest of Britain. Another ancient lighthouse. built less than a century after the tower at Dover, is still serv- ing its original purpose. It was partly rebuilt and some alterations were made in it. but in the main it is the same old structure that guided the Roman galleys as they skirted the coasts of the bay of Biscay. making their way to the Roman port of Bri- gantium. This is the modern harbor of La Coruna. and the lighthouse is the most ancient thing about it. The Romans called it the tower of Her- cules. and the modems have perpetu- ated the name. The exact date of its erection is not known. but inscrip- tions and other evidence show that it was built in the time of Trajan. be» tween 98 and 117 A.
