When the Minister Scored.
In a'v> contribution to the Christian
Register, Thomas R. Slicer tells this:
"Some men the other night, in con
versation with me, knowing I was a
minister-and it ls the spirit of this
time to put it up to a minister in
terms at least of gentle satire-said:
*We have been discussing conscience,'
and one of them said, I have given a
definition of conscience; it is the ver
micular apendix of the soul,' and they
laughed. And I said, 'That is a good
definition in your case; you never
know you have it until it hurts you.'
Tjpn they did not laugh."

CHAPTER XXI.
A Bar of Spap.
Late that evening Betty Mercer and
Dallas were writing verses of condo
lence to be signed by all of us and
put under the door into Jim's room
when Bella came running down the
stairs.
Dal was reading the first verse
when she came. "Listen to thia,
Bella," he said triumphantly:
There was a fat artist named Jas,
Who cruelly called his friends nus.
When, altho' shut up tight.
He broke out over night
With a rash that ls maddening, he das.
Then he caught sight of Bella's
face as she stood in the doorway.and
stopped.
"Jim is delirious!" she announced
tragically. "You shut him in there
all alone and now he's delirious. Til
never forgive any of you."
"Delirious!" everybody exclaimed.
"He was sane enough when I took
him bis chicken broth," Mr. Harbison
said. "He was almost fluent"
"He is stark, staring crazy," Bella
Insisted hysterically. "I-I locked the
door carefully when I went down to
my dinner, and when I came up
lt-it was unlocked, and Jim was
babbling on the bed, with a sheet
over his face. He-he says the house
is haunted and he wants all the men
to come up and sit in the room with
him."
"Not on your life," Max said. "I am
young, and my career has only begun.
I don't intend to be cut off in the
flower of my youth. But I'll tell you
what I'll do; I'll take him a drink. I
can tie it to a pole or something."
But Mr. Harbison did not smile. He
was thoughtful for a minute. Then:
"I don't believe be Is delirious," he
said quietly, "and I wouldn't be sur
prised if he has happened on some
thing that-will be of general Inter
est. I think I will stay with him to
night."
After that, of course, none' of the
others would confess that he was
afraid, so with the. South American
leading, they all went up-stalrs. The
women of the party sat on the lower
steps and listened, but everything was
quiet Now and then we could hear
the sound of voices, and after a while
there was a rapid slamming of doors
and the sound of some one running
down to the second floor. Then quiet
again.
In an hour or so they sent for Flan
nigan, and he went up-stairs. He
came down again soon, however, and
returned with something over his arm
that looked like a rope. It seemed to
be made of all kinds of things tied
together, trunk straps, clothesline, bed
sheets, and something that Flannigan
pointed to with rage and said he
hadn't been able to keep his clothes
on all day. He refused ?to explain fur
ther, however, and trailed the nonde
script article up the stairs. We could
only gaze after him and wonder what
It all meant.
The conclave lasted far into the
night. The feminine contingent went
to bed, but not to sleep. Some time
after midnight, Mr. Harbison and Max
went down-stairs- and I could hear
them rattling around testing win
dows and burglar alarms. But fin
ally every one settled down and the
rest of the night was quiet
Betty Mercer came into' my room
the next morning. Sunday, and said
Anne Brown wanted me. I went over
at once, and Anne was Eitting up in
bed, crying. Dal had slipped out of
the room at daylight, she said, and
hadn't come back. He had thought
she was asleep, but she wasn't, and
she knew he. was dead, for nothing
ever made Dal get up on Sunday be
fore noon.
There was.' no one moving in the
house, and I hardly knew what to do.
it was Betty who said she would go
un ard rouse Mr. Harbison and Max,
who hnd tnltcn Jim's place in the
.tudio. She starterl out bravely

stairs in a bath-robe, with one of Jim's
Indian war-clubs in his hand. And he
was sound asleep.
He looked somewhat embarrassed
when he roused and saw us standing,
aroun i. He said he was going to play
a practical joke on somebody and fell
asleep in the middle of it And Anne
said he wasn't even an intelligent liar,
and went back to bed in a temper. But
Betty came In with me, and we sat
and lr oked at each other and didn't
say much. The situation was beyond
us.
The doctor let Jim out next day,
there having been nothing the matter
with him but a stomach rash. But
Jim. was changed; he mooned around
Bella, of course, as before, but he was
abstracted at times, and all that day
Sunday-he wandered off by himself,
and one would oome across him un
expectedly in tho basement or along
some of the unused back halls.
Aunt Selina held service that morn
ing. Jim said thet he always had a
prayer-book, but that he couldn't find
anything with so many people in the
house. So Aunt Selina read some re
ligious poetry out of the newspapers,
and gave us e. valuable talk on Decep
tion vers; - Honesty, with me as the

Almost embody took a nap after
luncheon. I stayed in the den and
read Ibsen, and felt very mournful.
And fter Hedda had shot herself, I
lay c -n on the divan and cried a lit
-1e-ov-.r Hedda; she was young and
it was su~h a tragic ending-and then
i fell .islet,,
When I wakened Mr. Harbison was
standing by the table, and he held my
book in his hands. In view of the
Felt Very l\
armed neutrality between us, I ex
pected to see him bow to me curtly,
turn on his heel and leave the room.
Indeed, considering his state of mind
the night before, I should hardly have
been surprised if he had thrown Hed
da at my head. (This ls not a pun.
I detest them.) But instead, when he
heard me move he glanced over at me
and even smiled a little.
"She wasn't worth it," he said, in
dicating the book.
. "Worth what?"
"Your tears. You were crying over
it, weren't you?"
"She was very unhappy," I asserted
indifferently. "She was married and
she loved some one else."
"Do you really think she did?" he
asked. "And even so, was that a rea
son?"
"The other man cared for her; he
may not have been able to help it."
"But he knew that she was mar
ried," he said virtuously, and then he
caught my eye and he saw the analogy
instantly, for he colored hotly and put
down the book.
"Most men argue that way," I said.
"They argue by the book, and-they
do as they like."
"You are perfectly right," he said
at last. "I deserve it all. My griev
ance is at myself. Your-your beauty,
and the fact that I thought you were
unhappy, put me-beside myself. It
is not an excuse; it is a weak ex
planation. I will not forget myself
again."
He was as abject as any one could
have wished. It was my minute of
triumph, but I can not pretend that I
was happy. Evidently it had been
only a passing impulse. If he had
really cared, now that he kDew I was
free, he would have forgotten him
self again at once. Then a new ex
planation occurred to me. Suppose it
had been Bella all the time, an.l the
rca] shock had boen to find that she
had been ma:ried!
"The fault cf the situation was real
ly raine," I said magnanimously; "I
quite blaine myself. Only, you must
believe one thing. You never fur
Dished us any amusement." I looked j
ii him ride-vis?. Tho discovery that '
"elia end Jim were once* married .
. lust have baen a great shock.
"lt was a surprise,** he replied evea>
ly. His voice and his eyes were In
scrutable. He returned my glance
steadily. It was infuriating to have
gone half-way to meet him, as I had,
and then to find him intrenched in hil
self-sufficiency again. I got up.
"It Is unfortunate that our acquain
tance has begun so unfavorably," I re
marked, preparing to pass him. "Un
der other circumstances we might
have been friends."
"There is only one solace," he said.
"When we do not hare friends, we
can not lose them/'
, He opened the door to let me pass
out, and as our eyes met, all the cold
ness died out of his. He held out his
hand, but I was hurt I refused to
see it
"Kit!" he said unsteadily. "I-rm
an obstinate, pig-hearted brute. I am
sorry. Can't we be friends, after
all?"
" "When we do not have Wends wo
can not lose them,'" I replied, with
cool malice. And the next instant the
door closed behind me.
It was that night that the really
serious event of the quarantine oo>
curred.
We were gathered in the library,
and everybody was deadly dull. Aunt
Selina said, she had been reared to a
strict observance of the Sabbath, and
she refused to go to bed early. The
cards and card-tables were put away
and every one sat around and quar
reled and was generally nasty, except
Bella and Jim, who had gone into the
den just after dinner and firmly closed
the door.
I think It was just after Max pro
posed to me. Tes, he proposed to me
again that night He said that Jim's
illness had decided him; that any of
us might take sick and die, shut in
that contaminated atmosphere, and
that if he did he wanted it all settled.
And whether I took him or not he
wanted me to remember him kindly if
anything happened. I really hated to
refuse' him-he was in such deadly
earnest But it was quite unnecessary
for him to have blamed' his refusal,
as he did, on Mr. Harbison. I am
sure I had refused him plenty bf times
before I had ever heard of the maa
flournful.
Yes, it was Just after he proposed to
me that Flannigan came to the door
and called Mr. Harbison out bato th?
hall.
Mr. Harbison went out muttering
something about a storm coming up,
and seeing that the tent was secure.
Betty Mercer went with him. She had
been at his heels all evening, and
called him "Tom" on every possible
occasion.
So Betty went with him. She wore
a pale yellow dinner gown, with Just
a sophisticated touch of black here
and there, and cut modestly square
in the neck. Her shoulders are
scrawny. And after they were gone
not her shoulders; Mr. Harbison and
she-Aunt Selina announced that the
next day was Monday, that she had
only a week's supply of clothing
with her, and that no policeman who
ever swung a mace should wash her
undergarments for her.
She paused a moment but nobody
offered to do it Anne was reading
De Maupassant under cover of a
table, and the rest pretended not to
hear. After a pause, Aunt Selina got
up heavily and went upstairs, coming
down soon after with a bundle cov
ered with a green shawl, and with a
white balbriggan stocking trailing
from an opening In it She paused at
the library door, surveyed the in
mates, caught my unlucky eye and
beckoned to me with a relentless fore
finger.
"We can put then to soak tonight,"
she confided to me, "and tomorrow
they will be quite simple to do. There
is no lace to speak of"-Dal raised biri
eyebrows-"and very little flouncing."
Aunt Selina and I went to the laun
dry.
It is strange what big things de
velop from little ones. In this case it'l
was a bar of soap. And if Flannigan
had used as much soap as he should
have instead of washing up the kitch
en floor with cold dlsli water, it
would have ' developed sooner. The
two most unexpected events of the
whole quarantine occurred that night
at the same time, one on the roof ant'
one in the cellar. The cellar one, al
though curious, was not so serious ar
the other, so it comes first.

DEATH BEFORE i
YEARS IS SUICIDE
Prof. Munyon Says Ignorance
of Laws of Health Explains
Early End of Life. 1
NOTED SCIENTIST HAS
ENCOURAGING WORD
FOR DESPONDENT
MEN AND WOMEN
"Death before 100 years of age haa
been reached is nothing- more or less
than slow suicide. A man (or woman)
who dies at an earlier age is simply igno
rant of the laws ol health." f
Such was the original and rather
startling statement made by Professor
James M. Munyon, the famous Phlladel
fihia health authority, who is establish
ing health headquarters in all the large
cities of the world for the purpose of get
ting in direct touch with his thousands
of converts.
Professor Munyon is a living embodi
ment of the cheerful creed he preaches.
Virile, well poised, active and energetic,
he looks as though he would easily at
tain the century age limit which he de
clares ls the normal one. He said:
"I want the people of the world to
know my opinions on the subject of
health, which are the fruit of a life-time
devoted to healing the sick, people of
Araerlci. There isn't a building in this
city big enough to house the people in
this State alone who have found health
through my methods. Before I get
thrOv/i there won't be a building big
enough to house my cured patients in
this city alone.
"I want, most of all, to talk to the sick
people-the invalids, the discouraged
ones, the victims of nerve-wearing, body
racking diseases and ailments-for these
are the ones to whom the message of
hope which I bear will bring the great
est blessing.
"I want to talk to the rheumatics, the
sufferers from stomach trouble, the ones
afflicted with that noxious disease, ca
tarrh. I want to tell my story to the
women who have become chronic In
valids as a result of nervous troubles. I
want to talk to the men who are 'all run
down/ whose health has been broken by
overwork, improper diet, iate hours and
other causes, and who feel the creeping
clutch of serious, chronic illness.
"To these people I bring a stoi?y of
hope. I can give them a promise of bet
ter things. 1 want to astonish them by
showing the record of cures performed
through my new system of treatment
"I have taken the best of the ideas
from all schools and embodied them in
a new system of treatments individually
adapted to each particular case. I have
np cure alls,' but my present method of
attacking disease ls the very best thought
of modern science. The success which I
have had with these treatments in this
city and all over America proves its effi
cacy. Old methods must give away to
new medical science moves. I know what
my remedies are dolne for humanity
everywhere; I know what they will "do
for the people of this city. Let me prove
my statements-that's all I ask."
The continuous stream of callers and
mail that comes to Professor James M.
Munyon at his laboratories. Fifty-third
and Jefferson streets, Philadelphia. Pa.,
keeps Dr. Munyon and his enormous
corps of expert physicians busy.

.Social Distinction.
In some parts of the south the
darkies are still addicted to the old
style country dance in a big hall, with
the fiddlers, banjoists and other mu
sicians on the platform at one end.
At one such dance held not long
ago in an Alabama town, when the
fiddlers had duly resined their bows
and taken their places on the plat
form the floor manager rose.
"Git yo' partners fo' de nex' dance!"
he yelled. "All you ladies an' gennul
mens dat wears shoes an' stockin's,
take yo' places in de middle of de
room. All you ladies an' gennulmens
dat wears shoes an' no stockin's, take
you' place immejitly benin' dem. An'
yo' barefooted crowd, you jes' jig it
round in de corners."-Lippincott's
Magazine.
Easy to Arrange.
"Do you know what a fortunate lit
tle boy you are?" rather patronisingly
inquired a young lady of the laddie
whose mother ls her dearest comrade.
"Here, I invited mamma to go away
for a lovely time with me, but she
wouldn't because it wasn't a place
where we could take children, and
she thought she'd rather be at home
with you. But I don't 1)lame her," as
the wide eyes grew wistful, "for I
think I'd rather stay at home also, if
I had a nice little boy like you!"
"Why don't you get one?" queried
the child, briskly. 'TU tell Dr. John
son to bring you the next one he finds,
if you like!"
Twice Convicted.
Another lawyer's story arrives. We
are told that a man was charged with
picking a pocket the other day and
that when arraigned he pleaded
"guilty." The case went to the jury,
however, and the verdict .was "not
guilty." And the court spake as fol
lows:
"You don't leave this court without
a stain on your character. By your
own confession you are a thief. By
the verdict of the jury, you are a
liar."-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
A LADY LECTURER
Feeds Nerves and Brains Scientifically.
A lady lecturer writes from Philadel
phia concerning the use of right food
and how she is enabled to withstand
the strain and wear and tear of her
arduous occupation. She says:
"Through improper food, imperfect
ly digested, my health was complete
ly wrecked, and I attribute my recov
ery entirely to the regular use of
Grape-Nuts food. It has, I assure you,
proven an inestimable boon to me.
"Almost immediately after beginning
the use of Grape-Nuts I found a grati
fying change in my condition. The ter
rible weakness that formerly pros
trated me after a few hours of werk,
was perceptibly lessened and is now
only a memory-lt never returns.
"Ten days after beginning on Grape
Nuts I experienced a wonderful in
crease in mental vigor and physical
energy, and continued use has entire
ly freed me from the miserable in
somnia and nervousness from which
I used to suffer so much.
"I find Grape-Nuts very palatable
and would not be without the crisp,
delicious food for even a day on any
consideration. Indeed, I always carry
it with me on my lecture tours."

"WHY SHOULD I USE
CUTICURA SOAP?
"There U nothing the matter with
my skin, and I thought Cutlcura Soap
was only for skin troubles." True, lt
is for skin troubles, but its great mis
sion is to prevent skin troubles. For
more than a generation its delicate
emollient and prophylactic properties
have rendered it the standard for this
purpose, while its extreme purity and
refreshing fragrance give to it all the
advantages of the best of toilet soaps.
It ls also Invaluable in keeping the
hands soft and white, the hair live
and glossy, and the scalp free from
dandruff and Irritation.
While its first cost ls a few cents
more than that of ordinary toilet
soaps, it is prepared with such' care
and of such materials, that it wears
to a wafer, often outlasting several
cakes of other soap, and making its
use, in practice, most economical.
Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, but the truth of
these claims may be demonstrated
without cost by sending to "Cuticura,"
