Because it filled a loug-felt want, because its work has Leen so far-rencliing, and its success so unqualified, those interestwd aro anx? ious to bring it to perfection fia far as possible. To lade a weakness is not to help it. Everyone knows bow easy it is to fiatue smooth-sounding reports which will represent tho work of the society as flourishing in every detail, and which ignore the points ot f iltur.. The first step toward improvement is to look our faults fairly in the face. On this point, however, a word of caution is necessary, literature people who are ..rv skillful in detecting Haws in themaelves, their fellow-Christians, the church, and even organization which is trying to do God'a work in the world, but somehow no j-ood comes of their acuteness. We should look for faults in our society tis a physician looks for symptoms of disease, ?to see what is wrung, in order to np]'ly a remedy. In addition to correcting as farja. possible mistakei in onr society work, we should Le on the lookout for fre.h idms, now methods, plant which have ptOTcd helpful elsewhere. Tho papers published in thfl interests of our orgau zation are usually mines of valuable suggestions, and I have never yet found ti local society indifferent or ineffective if the majority of its members wore systematic n n lora of ona of these peri? odicals. Suppose your literature committee for example, bu dom no work of im? portance tot a jear. It will not pay to gloss ovir its fflilnre by a few indefinite statements, and it will bc of even less sdvsntage to relapse into discourage? ment, and conclude tint there is no ate in oying.

THE PUBLIC HOUSE. "A fine public ho se," said Blanco .h n, tbe umor st. ?Yet*," tie le.Juolu gat tho bulld? og ? w. re approach, ng, "t ut a strange position?a*.ay from the highroad, and surrounded by villas." "A very strange position. We will rest in the public house, and I will tell you how it came to bo built in such a very strange position." I Bmiled and followed him into the saloon bar. We sat at ono of the tables and wore silent for a time, he thinking and I watching him. "The etory begins," he said present? ly, "wi'.L a burglary committed by a cerlam Bill Jones ons night long ago. "Bill was a young member of his profession. Hitherto ho had not at? tempted anything very big, but contin? ued success in small things had made him bold. On this night ho broke into the country house of a well known ac? tress, in tbo hope of carrying ofl her jewels. "He bucceeded in getting the jewels and was leaving with them when he found that the slight noise he had mado had attracted attention. A servant girl met Lim at a turn of the stairway and began to shriek. He rushed by her and to tho window through which he had entered. As he passed through it again he heard doora being opened and knew that the house was fully aroused." "I understand,1' I said. "Bill es? caped The actress employed a detec? tive. The detective built this public house in an out of tbe way place, bop? ing that Bill, as an out of the way young man, would call in one day for a drink. Curiously enough, Bill did." Blanco Watson frowned. "This ia an intellectual story," he said. "It does not depen j on coinci? dences. "I will continue. Bill avoided ths first pursuit by a long run across coun? try, and then walked toward his home, not daring to use the railway. He kept to the byroads aa much asposaible, and nt the close of the next day had reached the neighborhood of London. '?A spado lying inside a field gate suggested to him tho advisability of hiding the jewels until ho had arranged lor their sale, Alter making |ure tbat he was not obsctved he entered the field and picked up the spade. A tree of peculiar growth stood just beyond him. In tho manner of fiction, he counted 20 steps due north from the tree and then dug a deep hole, placed thfl jewels in it and then filled it up again. "He arrived home safely that night, but xvas arrested in the morning. The servant girl had gi7en on accurate de? scription of him to the police, and they bad recognized it. "In dui course he was tried. The evidenco against him was very strong. Thc servant girl swore that he was the man she met on tho stairs. Some of tbe villagers swore that they had eoen him near tho house previous to the burglary. He was found guilty aud sentenced to seven years' penal servi? tude. "Bill behaved very well inprison and at the end of five years was released on a ticket of leave. Ho decided to wait until Ihe ticket had expired and then to get the jewels and leave the country. But a day or two after his release ho walked out to look at the field. "There was no field. During the five years he had been in prison the estate of which tho field was part had been built upon. Ho .wandered about the booie _ in despair. But as he turn? ed a c, lier he saw something which sugget 4ed hope. Behind some railings was a tree of curious growth. "It was the tree 20 steps due north of which he had buried the jewels. He recognized it immediately and ran to? ward it. Again he was is despair. A ?ard or two north of the tree was a chapel, and the jewels were under the chapel. He leaned against the railings, covering his face with his han dp. "It happened presently that the head deacon of the chapel, a kindly old man, came down the road. He saw Bill standing lite one in trouble and stop? ped and asked what was tho matter and whether he could help him. - "For a few mom.nts Bill did not know what to reply, bat tuen he spoke well. He slid that once he had been a burglar, but that he had learned in prison that burglary is wrong; that now he was trying io live an honest life, but that ns ho had no friends it was not easr. "Tbe old man was touched. Ha had found Bill leaning againat the chapel railinga, and Bill had said that he had no irionds. Was it not his duty as head deacon of the chapel to be a friend of Bill? Clearly it was. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take Laxative Brorao Quinine Tablets. All druggists refund the money If lt fails to sure 20c.

They had supper snd talkod together. The doa con found Bdl intelligent and fairly well educ, ted and offered him employ? ment. Ho was a builder in the neigh? borhood, he fxpla'nod, and had a vacancy in the works. Bill gratefully accepted the off.r and began hw new career on the following alonday. "Montha passed. BUI had changed wonderfully. He had forgotten his old habits and learned new ones. The deacon was delighted. Not only was Bill the be?t of his workmen, but he was the most regular attendant at the chapel. "Bill longed for the jewels, and be wcikedhard because he knew tnat money would help him to get them. Se attended the chapel because while lhere he was near the jewels, the seat he had taken being j.ist 20 steps due lorth from the tree. At first he had meditated digging down through the loor one night; but the chances of letection wero great and he bad given ip th? idea. n "Years passed. The deacon had be _ome an invalid, and Bili practically nanageJ his buainess. He was an mportaut man at tho chapel, too, and ?as often intrusted with a collection lox. Ono day the deacon died. Soon if ter ward it was known that having no tear relatives he bad left his proyerty o his friend William Jones.'' 'I see," I exclaimed. "Bill"? Blanco Watson shook his head. "Bill was Bill no longer," he s .id. 'He had become a man of wealth. Lt the next election of deacons he was ino of the successful candidates: In he future we must refor to him as Mr. (ones and not as Bill "Mr. Jones was a most energetic leacon. He introduced new members, md he persuade d old ones to attend nore regularly. H ?tarted a young nen's literary a ciety and a series of kirn-day enti rUinments. He made be chapel the most popular in tho dis? tict, and then, at a New Year's buaU tess meeting, he itruck boldly for the ewo's. ^?'The chapel was too small, he said n the course of an eloquent speech, _hey must erect another on a larger ite. Tbere was but one such lite in he neighborhood* They must secure k before others did. He himself would mdertake the building operations, barging only what they cost him. Ie would also purchase the old chapel. ] Che net expenditure need not ba very i freat. "The proposal was well received.and ? committee, with Mr. Jones aa chair uau, waa appointed to consider the de ails. Their report was very tavoraV'e, md at another business meeting itf/v aa locided to carry out the proposal. "The necessary funds were subscrib id ? or guaranteed. Contracts were nade with Mr* Jones. In the spring if that year the build ng operations vere commenced, and by tbe autumn hey weie finished. The congregation ?emoved to the new chapel. Mr. ronos purchased the old one at a high price and entered into possession. "And then;" 1 said, 'I suppose he ?ct the jewels?" Blanco Watson laughed. "No," he said; "he did not. He sr oke up the floor himself, counted the it cps due north from the tree and dug, rut hs did not find the jewel?. He counted the steps again and dug The = Cruel Knife!
