You should, therefore, get ie best and most complete education that it is possible for you > obtain.—Selected. o NOVEL SCHEME The Chicago Tribune, in an effort to conserve news print, jggests to its readers that they borrow a Tribune from their eighbor instead of buying one. This might work all right for ie Chicago Tribune, but it is not necessary for many papers to Ter any such suggestion. The style already is in vogue among ie majority of newspaper readers. Some months ago we began campaign for subscriptions in order to reach the 7,000 mark. ,t one place our solicitor found five families who made one copy f the Tribune serve them. At scores of places he found two and iree families making use of one copy of the Tribune; and, mind on, there were from three to seven people in each family, nagine, if you will, what this means to a publisher. We found next to impossible to reach the 7,000 mark with this situation infronting us, and started out to try and induce each family to rder their own paper and be independent of the other. In some ises it worked, but in many others the lady would say: “I take ie Saturday Evening 'Post, and Mrs. B. takes the Phoenix ribune, so we exchange." We finally decided that a Colored opulation of 15,000 would be necessary in order to secure 7,000 aid subscribers. We doff out hat to the Chicago Tribune, but nail not suggest anything of the kind to our readers. No paper lortage threatens us. We could produce a fifty-six page edition i eery week, if our business warranted it and the cash was forth-! miing. o DO YOU PRAY FOR EDITORS? The amount of good or evil accomplished by the press is in ileulable. There may be a half-dozen ministers on the globe r ho preach regularly to four or five thousand people; but there re comparatively few papers which do not reach this number, llowing an average of five persons in each home to which the aper goes; while in numerous cases the congregation of an iitor amounts to hundreds of thousands of persons. The minister speaks, perhaps, to two or three out of a imily; the aged and infirm, as a rule, having no part in his min itrations. The words of the editor go directly to the home, and iach every member of the family who reads. The minister’s ords are spoken hastily, and may fail to express adequately his lought; the words of an editor are likely to be more carefully jnsidered, and his thoughts more accurately expressed. A min ter’s words may be forgotten, and he himself may be unable to call them; but the words of the editor are written down, and lay be considered and re-read until they are firmly fixed in the iind. How important that the words spoken be right words /en the words of wisdom and truth! How little we know of the sermons which the apostles reached; but the epistles which they wrote have come down to s as an unfailing treasury of truth. In view' of such facts, I i»uld not Christian men and women engage in earnest supplica- j on for those on whom is laid the responsible charge of conduct ig the public press? Surely no Christian should hear with in fference the request of an editor when he says, “Brethren, pray >r us.”—Boston Christian.

She hesitated, smiled up nt him demurely; J then, breathing to herself the name of the man she loved, she rose, and, with her eyes closed tightly, held up her Ups to the man she despised. Some while later Nikolay took his departure. CHAPTER.V. It was ten days.since the reward for Fitzhugh’s capture had been of fered, and though detectives, city, amateur, and private, as well as the police, had kept hot an unremitting search, not a trace of the fugitive could they find. “Clues,” they had by scores, but they led nowhere. This tenth day fell on a Thursday In April —a cold, dark day of Incessant rain. Nikolay Invariably called upon Esther every Friday, but on this particular Thursday night happening to be in her neighborhood, he decided to take advantage of the opportunity, and drop in on her for a pot of hot tea and a word of good cheer. He was about to pass under the wooden staircase, and so to her door, when suddenly, just opposite the win dow he stopped still and stood as though hewed from stone. What he saw was this: In the cen ter of the room, her back toward him, stood Esther; arms held out, her head back, she had the unmistakable pos ture of a woman waiting only for the One Man. The next instant a very tall man, young-looking despite the short, untrimmed beard on his lean face, stepped from some point outside Niko lay’s range of vision, and took her in his arms and kissed her. His pimpry face livid with fury, yel low hair seeming to stand on end, Nikolay burst into the room. Fitzhugh sprang from his plnce and vaulted the table, bringing it between himself and the door. “Get out, Esther,” he ordered quietly, rolling up his shirtsleeves. “I’m going to slaugh ter this beast.” She made no move to go, however, but drew to one side, and with hands pressed to her cheeks, watched Cue two gladiators with mingled horror and fascination. Nikolay had the ad vantage of some forty pounds in weight, but Fitzhugh was vastly his superior in stamina, fistic skill and quickness of eye and movement. To win the fight he judged he had to do but one thing: to keep free of the other's clutches. Once the big Rus sian got those tremendous arms around him the combat would be un equal. Nikolay rushed upon his foe like an Infuriated bull, and Fitzhugh ducked Rushed Like an Infuriated Bull. and sidestepped like a lean panther, - springing in quickly to deliver two blows in rApid succession, the last of which brought blood. In the next rush, | however, a sledge hammer seemed to swing upon the point of his chin, and i he spun dizzily backward, unable Jo regain his balance, and foil heavily j against a fender. But Nikolay was | not quick enougli to follow up his ad vantage, and when next he charged, Fitzhugh had recovered, and was dancing around him as before, his lip drawn back from his gleaming teeth in a taunting smile. The blood was streaming from a dozen cuts on the Russian's face, Its crimson blots in his eyes; and ever that smiling, wliite-und-black face swam before him like a pirouetting phantom. Knowing his endurance to be his ! strongest, and the other’s weakest, point, Fitzhugh desired chiefly to wear his opponent down until such time as he could rush in and finish j him. Nikolay was fast becoming exhaust ed. Ten minutes of this mad pace was more than he could stand. His breath came shorter and shorter. At last he stopped and allowed his arms to dangle limply at his sides. For a little while, coughing and spit ting blood and catching his breath in ' wheezy gasps, he stared drunkenly. ' Then, seizing a heavy water pitcher | from beside an overturned chair, he hurled it. with a vile word. Fitzhugh j dodged the missile and leapt for his j foe. He put every atom of his vigor- | ous young strength into the blow he i tan (led under Nikolay’s jaw, and the man went down like n clubbed ox. The conqueror walked to a corner, j picked up his coat, and sluug it over his shoulder: He came hack to Esther, crouching against the wall like one awakening from some horrible dream. He smiled, hut in the neutral light the smile was ghastly.
