That definitely settled the matter, it seemed; and Mil , for the life of him, could think of nothing further to say. His underlip trembling, he turned to leave. Then his eye fell on the violin. He hesitated, picked up the instrument and examined it criti- cally. He picked up the bow and ex- amined that, too, and then looked round at Mr. $loom, who had not once glanced up from the work on his desk. Following another brief hesitation, Milo adjusted the violin and drew the bow across its • strings.

Colne just as you first attempt to fulfil his pledge. - He was afraid. He was just a- boy fifteen years old, but he was already deeply conscious of a call to the ministry. He longed to rise and do his part, but he trembled at the thought of it. The Endeavorers with whom he met had a high standard of attainment; the speeches were thoughtful, the prayers had a fine, de- votional atmosphere. H � td, think that he could 'd sa• tl'`as others. He decided that lie would try firat to take part in prayer. .He- did not believe in actually composing a prayer beforehand, but he tried carefully and consciously to prepare his mind, ,for he was sure that the inspiration that he hoped for would most surely come to a mind and heart ready to receive it. It worried hint to feel so nervous. "•Surely," he thought, "since I have prayed for strength, i should have it now; yet I feel as weak es water." The great moment drew nearer and nearer, yet he felt no fitter for the ordeal; if anything, he grew more agitated. , • "I am not strong enough for it," he said to himself, "and yet I have prayed' for strength to do my duty and fulfil my pledge. Why has not God answer- ed my prayer?" Then suddenly a thought flashed, into his mind like a ray of light and illuminated his prob- lem. "How do I know, until I try, that God has not given me strength? It is not for the time of waiting but for the action that I have asked his help. I will find out by trying." The great moment had come. He, the beginner, was on his feet, and it was as if some secret door in his soul head opened, through which poured a flood of prayer. It' was not a long prayer; it was simple, perhaps here and there it was crude; but it lead burning sincerity that everyone felt, So It was with this youth, who has Her It' Sat I'1 Of B Th T For the first time Mr. Bloom really look- up from his desk.

I mean," explained the manager, seeing Milo's perplexity, "you need money. Tell me about it." ' Light dawned upon the musician. He gestured to his rags. "You ask to know why I am so poor?" Then he gestured again, more eloquently, as one who would say: "It is a long story and a pitiful and most involved. I despair of telling it to you." How- ever, he did tell it, partly in his care- ful English, partly in his native tongue, but mostly in a mixture of both. He told how he had sought his fortune in Canada and found only pov- erty; how he had married a young woman in Montreal and come with her to Toronto; how misfortune still pur- sued him. The manager Iistened with a bored air. Perhaps he was used to hard - luck tales. Presently, with an ill - concealed yawn, he interrupted the narrative. "All right; that's enough.

As he lurched in and allowed the major part of his burden to slip to the floor, he became aware, in a detached way; of an agreeable frag- rance, in fact, of frying steak and onions. He also noted, in the same subconscious manner, that the table was laid for dinner, the lamp lit and the monkey stove glowing with warmth. But his mind was too excited with joy to let him really take in the sur- prising situation, First of all, he must divulge his glad tidings. With the wine in one hand and the eandy in the other, he embraced his wife, kiss- ing her on both pink cheeks, and told h.er all about it. He •showecl her his contract and what was left of the $25; and he untied his parcels and showed her those, laughing and talk- ing all in a breath. • "It is for you, Rowena," he declared happily, and kissed her again; "all is for you. .

Managing wives and henpieked hus- bands are not uncommon in China, in spite of the subordinate position that women are supposed to occupy in that country. A considerable part of the humor of the Chinese is concerned with households where the woman is master; one popular story, quoted by a writer in the Open Court, is as fol- lows: . A. district magistrate was sitting in his court, trying cases. When the chief clerk appeared and took his seat the magistrate saw that hik face was full of scratches; so he asked ;aim, "What have you done to your face?" "Yesterday evening," replied the man, "I was sitting under my vine trellis, enjoying the cool breeze, when all at once a gust of wind overturned the trellis, which fell upon me and scratched my face." Bttt the magistrate did not believe the story. "Evidently these are the scratches of finger nails," he >;aid.

These animals require much larger runs than generally recommend- ed and, considering the actual value of their fur, it may be possible to al- low, say, 1/20 acre per animal and still be profitable to raise them. Running Water and Shade. "The runs should be provided with obstacles and hiding places in the shape of hollow logs, stone and brush piles, scrubby or low-grorwing trees or bushes or some tall weeds. Sweet clover, for example, may be encour- aged to grow inside the enclosure. There should be also running water or a concrete trough about. 4 feet in diameter in each pen, this trough to be provided with inlet and overflow pipes. The enelePire should be board- ed' close 'lib' to about 3 feet to prevent undue excitement, and netting further up to 6 or 3 feet. "Outside the enclosure should be Planted some shade trees cut back to about 8 feet above the ground to in- duce they branches to spread out and provide a thick shady growth. Alder, birch, cedar, spruce and poplar are very good for. this. purpose. "The animals should not be made too tame and should not be feel three times a day regularly. Food should be provided either in two meals a day or a full day's ration at once; this will keep them more active and on the lookout and consequently keep them in better breeding condition. "In my opinion no harm will result in withholding food for one day and feeding thein double rations the next. In the wild state, these animals re- main several days without food and then, after a successful hunt, will fill themselves to capacity, of Liberty which greets every incom- ing ship to New York.
