Ho wes always uu *" tidy, always in a burry, never anything else; but thinly clad, even in the depth of winter, and car ried constantly-with a loud laugh and painfully forced jollity that had won him his epithet, "Howls"-a haggard, hunted expression. Jacob Howells'? reputation, even when I lirst knew him on the Street, was quite "off color." ami the color had worn o.T moro aud more as years went on. He and I never had any business transactions for two reasons, both valid-I had no spare cash to loan, and when I borrowed-which was seldom it was not on collateral of the sort re quiring the big "shave,'' out of which this mau and his kind made their sparse and precarious profits. It was growing dark on a raw clay last February that, crossing Nassau street on my woy toward thc elevated, I saw Howells in charge of an officer. Having heard that ho had been con cerned of late in several pieces of "sharp practice," the fact that he was now in custody did not seem surpris ing. I was going hy with no more at tention than may bc implied hy a brief thought of commiseration ("Poor chap, I hope he'll get out of the scrape"), when I heard him say pleadingly: "For God's sake, walt just live min utes more." His tone was so imploring, so pitiful, and it seemed so sincere ns to some hope In a little delay, that I overcame the dastardly cowardice of prudence, turned right about, and went up to him. "Is there anything I can do for you, Mr. Howells:" I asked, not, I fear, cor dially, but coldly, my manner Instinct ively modulated as to imply that pre sumption on his part would scarcely bo tolerated. "Yes," he answered eagerly, "there is. If you are willing to take a little just a little-trouble. As you see. I have got into a little scrape (he laughed grimly), and I have sent a boy for my lawyer. I'm afraid it's so late he's gone home. Now. would you mind going to my Hat (he named the street and number),, and tell my wife that I have been called away sudden ly, but will be back to-morrow-and (he handed me a five-dollar bill) give ber that." Of course I agreed to do what he wished, though bis flat was far over on the upper east side, while my home was on the west Howells clutched my hand hard, "Tban-k you; my God. but I do thank you." and wc parted. I turned back down Wall Street, and took the east side elevated nt Hanover Square. While I waited for the train lt began to snow, and by the time wc reached Fourteenth street a heavy snowstorm bad set in. At Fourteenth street there w*as a long stop, and at thc end of perhaps fifteen minutes the guard opened the door. "All out," be shouted, "this car goes no further!" I soon discovered that there was a fire on the block above. The surface line was blocked also, so I made my way across to the Second Avenue line. There were delays herc also, so that lt was quite late before I reached the street whore Howells lived. In the neantimo thc storm had gathered strength; the wind blew fiercely, and thc mingled snort' nud sleet boat full Into my face as I made my way tow ard the tall tenement to which I had been directed. I found the number at last; one of these immense, semi-gen teel apartment houses, a horror to look upon, much more to be all one could call "home." Pushing the button of the very topmost fiat, the door opened Instantly, and, covered with snow, I toiled tip the stairs. Ou thc upper landing stood a woman, who ex claimed before she recognized me: "Oh, Jake, dear Jake, I am BO re lieved-" Suddenly she stopped, seeing a stranger, mid. clasping her hands, her face, as I could see oven in thc obscur ity, turned ghastly white. "Is this Mrs. Howells?" I asked. "Yc6," slic gasped, evidently over come with apprehension, "yes; please tell me, have you word from my hus band? Has-has-anything hap pened?" As quickly as possible I relieved her anxiety by delivering my message nnd the bill. I would have gone then at once; but Mrs. Howells urged me to come in. "It was so kind of you to come, and such a dreadful night. Mr. Howells is not strong. Girls (she con tinued joyously , your father is all right; he was obliged to go out of town." I had not said this, but let it pass. The little room was a charming pic ture of modest refinement and honie likoness. Two young women, who had been sitting by a lamp, one engaged in needlework, th? other, having laid '?? down a book, rose and greeted me. ; Ladles, nil of them, thnt was evident. : as well a: was the dop affection-al most adoration-for the mau whom, till that hour, I had known ns one who could not have been classed as respect able, much less ns a gentleman, rt 1 was now, however, quite apparent ? that desperate gap between the man , of the outside world and of the home. ' and the hideous struggle he was en ; gaged In with the wolf of poverty and I to keep the little family together. ! Thc next day Howells came to my office. He looked even more disrepu table than ever after a night In jail, , but bis voice trembled as be thanked , ino. Then his tone and maimer i changed. "Well," said he, with a harsh, hol . low laugh, "I got off this time; 'tisn't j the first, and 'twou't bc the last. Y'ou i know your Aesop-the pitcher that goes often to the well is bound to get , broken some day." After this I used to clo a little more I than nod to Mr. Howells; in fact, sev i eral times I even threw a little busi I ness in his way. Once he came to mc j on a ma tier where?

It won't; (lie man I'm doing this for puts up, and this will go in; besides," he added, consciously, "I'll not take you to uuy swell place-" We lunched at a little pince-not "swell," but good in its way, and there he let out much of his heart to me. It was pitiful to hear him tell.of the miserable shifts and devices by which he gathered together the few dollars needful-pitiful to me, knowing what tlie man's home life was. "Do you think I don't know well enough what people say of me?

'Hit him; he's got on friends" that's the cry around Wall and Broad streets. What a dreadful business mine Is! I know lt; but I can't get out of lt; I can't try some other more decent God knows I would If I saw my way, but I don't. When a man's past sixty no one wants him. Besides. I know this business of shaving third and fourth class paper clear down to the ground; I know that and nothing else. Now, this piece o' business; how much do you suppose I'll net out of lt?" "Two hundred." I suggested, know- [ lng what his commissions ought to have boen. "Divide that by twenty," said How ells coolly. "What! a jackal like me get his full commissions; Not much; I'm allowed for expense carfare, this lunch and odds mid ends; but. before I got the job I had to agree to take an even ten. Oh! I'm not worrying; It's tlie best day's work I've dono In six mouths." From time to time during the follow ing summer I saw Howells, always In haste, always anxious, but his greeting was always a genial smile and a hearty "Hood day." Ho never pre sumed upon my good offices. It was late one afternoon thc following No vember that a messenger brought me a brief note from him. Ho was lahl up, he wrote, "with a bad cold, an? there was a little matter of business he wanted looked after. Tho papers inclosed were all in good shape. It was after business hours; but In his calling they stay down town late. I did what he asked willingly, col loeted the amount, and sent lt by the messenger. A week passed, and the same thing happened again. This time be wrote at considerable length. He was very lil; too 111 to be out such a harsh day. Ile had no one be could trust (the word "trust" underscored). Would I mind obliging him just once more? lt was a beseeching-almost cringing-letter. Ile might have known me better. I did the errnnd, collected $0, added ??10, and inclosed a line say ing that I was glad to be of service, and that the ton was "at his entire convenience." The next day a postal came, undated, and the handwriting tremulous, hardly legible. It said simply: "O. K. Many thanks. You'll get it later." About a Aveek after that, while I wrs sitting at my desk in the office, tho door opened hastily and Howells staggered in. My first thought was that he had boon drinking, for his manner was wild, his eyes sunken and bloodshot, and his usual pinched and haggard expression intensified tenfold. "Excuse me for one moment, Mr. -," he said, panting like a winded dog. "I'll get my breath shortly." When he had recovered himself bo began at once, talking very fast-there was a policy on his life, taken out more than ten years before. Originally for five thousand, lt would now be worth to his heirs upward of nine thousand. "The premium is due to-day; this is the very last day or the policy will lapse. It mustn't lapse; that's the long and short of lt. My family would get over nine thousand if I should die to morrow If that premium Is paid. If I should die to-morrow," be repeated, choking. "I've got fifteen of lt. Can't you help me out with the balance? For God's sake try and help me out-" I did not keep him In doubt, but opened my pocketbook and counted out the twenty that he said was needed. Howells eyed the money ns a famished man might food. As he clutched the bills, the man's joy seemed quite nn spcakabJ Ile did, however, manage to stamn int in thc intervals of a fit of painfu. .ghing what he called his "deep gr.r. e." "You'll i his back, good friend," he said hu. y at the door. "Never fear. If I 1 through-all right; If not-well," ?nd he laughed hoarsely, "all right, any way. The fact is, 1 slipped out. No one knew I'd left the ilat-or, for that matter, my bed. The doctor said if I caine out this raw day it would bc the last of Jake Howells. But if you knew, Mr. -, bow I've worked and scrimped and gone with out to saw that policy for Polly and tho girls, you'd say I was right-dead right. They call me n hoary old repro bate, but I say that was right-dead right." About dawn the next morning How ells died. The grief of the three women who loved him waa agonizing. If he had been the nsBsr. respectable citizen it could br.rrrjy 0p*e been more so. In duo tlme*ihe jn?fcfl1 was paid. Mrs. Howells sent for me, and gave me the thirty dollars.

HURDLE JUMPING. [tmenzlein In tho World's III;?!? Uurdl? Chum pion and Record-Holder. Formerly, la the days of Puffer and Stephen Chase, the hurdle race was sven a prettier event than It ls to-day, is they skimmed Hie hurdle, and though they sailed over It very prettily, there iva3 a distinct glide through the air. ind thc motion was stomped after each li urdla The ocience of hurdling now demands that tho athlete get over Hie aurdle with th:- greatest possible speed, to flip himself over without any glide In the air, and to so throw the feet and body that the very effort to clear the hurdle burls the runner on to the next hurdle. This style, while not so pretty. ls faster, and Kraenzleln must be given the credit for developing lt to Hs high est form. Kraenzleln in topping tho sticks would use his hip an a swivel, and throw the flrjjt leg over the hurdle, not trying to get distance on the farther side "t t?.e hurdle. His Idea was to gel that leg over ns quickly as possible. The other log followed after, but it was not dragged. It was brought up smart ly, so that when his liest leg hit the ground 011 the other side of tho hurdle his other leg was In the position it should be for thc next stride. This is the leg motion, but the young hurdler will find that to got the above result he must use bis body as n lever and lils arms as a means of balancing and pro pulsion. When throwing tho first leg over, the body ls doubled up 'ike n Jack kulfc, as tills not only helps to get the leg over the hurdle, but lt aids Hie speed with which the hurdler gets over. The right arm ls thrown forward if tho right leg ls first over; the left arm ls then brought up with a rush while tho other leg ls being swung ncross the hurdle, so that when the ath lete lilts the ground after clearing thc hurdle lie is In thc natural position for vunning, and can put all his effort to getting speed between thc liurdl.es. The afil?ete should remember when going nt the hurdle be should keep his chesl squarely facing lt. The body ls the lever, and if It ls not held straight when ??oing over the hurdle the athlete will not alight squarely on his feet, and he will lose form and speed between the hurdles. In this event the runner should plan to take but three strides between hurdles.-From G. W. Orton's "Training for Interscholastic At blob les" in St. Nicholas. Farthest Sonth. It appears that tho point reached in the nnt?rtic circle by Captain Scott, of the exploring steamer Discover}', which left England in 1901, was 2 degrees farther south than was at first an nounced.. In bis final sledge journey he pushed forward to latitude S2 de grees 17 minutes, when he was about 4(30 geographical miles from the South Pole. It was well known that ex plorers have come considerably nearer to the North Po!e, less than 4 degrees, or less than 240 geographical miles, remaining to be crossed In the Arctic circle. Captain Scott bas unquestion ably shown that Victoria Land stretches much farther south than had hitherto been demonstrated, but it re mains uncertain whether the laud ex tends to the South Tole. It ls said that a rich collection of marine fauna, including many new species, has been made by the scientists attached to the expedition, and we may take for grant ed that due attention has been paid to seismographic records, and to mag netic and pendulum observations. As thc explorers were revlctualled to ward the end of January by Ihe reliev ing steamer Morning, they will be en abled to live with an approach to com fort during the next six months, which are, of course, ?he winter months in the southern hemisphere, after which they cnn resume their southward jour ney, and may possibly succeed in reaching the Antartlc Pole.-Harper's Weekly. In tho Eyes of Their Scrvuntp. A great many people live to please their servants. They save and pinch In order that they may spread them selves before butler, maid and cook. And, poor fools, they do not perceive that butler, maid and cook thoroughly understand the situation. F>ut, serious ly, trained servants are marvelous critics. There ls a family In our swellest avenue who will admit that they also are qualified teachers. Good manners are acquired by chil dren in imitation of well-bred parents; they are acquired by scrub adults through social attrition. Mr. and Mrs. P., who came here from the West three years ago with barrels of mined money, very wisely leaned upon their servants for that education ii good behavior or etiquette which k.id lioon denied them in the long period of their pov erty. Tho butler they engaged was formerly in the home of an epicure ol great wealth. They paid him $7000 n year and a commission on tho menu. One maid was tempted from a Icadci of the Four Hundred, another was Im ported from Paris, whore she had at tended tho Countess Q. Fabulous wages were paid.

Among them will be found the thrushes, with tho exception of tho robin and the bluebird, which migrato by day; the nuthatches and titmice, creepers, thrashers and wrens, j warblers, tanagers, vireos, most of the sparrows and flnchca, oiloles, mead ow larks, fly catchers, with the exc?p- ; tion of the king bird, tha cuckoos and ! tho woodpecker.?. Ton will observe j that most of these birds have neither very strong nor very rapid flight, and consequently require the shelter of darkness to protect them from their enemies. Moreover, most of thom take their food in small quantities, and require some timo to male? a full meal.. If they attempted to divide up tho day between eating and migrating they would travel but slowly. So they ; journey by night, and spend tho day In feeding and resting. The day migrants, on tho other hand, aro for the most part birds strong enough to resist attack or swift enough to avoid it. They in clude the horned larks, tit-larks, robins, bluebirds, cedarbird3, swallows, crov/s, nighthawks and chlmnoy swlfts, humming birds, hawks and dovo.i. Some of those-the night hawks and chimney-swifts, for ex ample-do not require to stop for food, but feed on the wing as they travol; the rest, although they may havo to stop for refreshments now and thon, nre eo swift of wing that they can easily make up for lost timo.
