She pondered for a moment or two
over thia confassion of ignorance.
"You clout see into know much, Jack,"
she remarked; not in a, toue of ceueure,
but by way a recording a simple fact.

Ile stopped suddenly; he had been
speaking more to himself than to lier.
"Poor Jack," came a soft unarnitr like
sweet music.
Neville lokedo up.
"Oh., I don't deserve any pity, Syl," and
he laughed. "I only get ray deserts; many

"Than 1,"--seid Sylvia,
"Eh? Oh, ah, yes, I'm not much on
grammar. That's one of the reasons I'm
here,"
"Then it's a lucky thing for ine you are
not," she said, naively.
Neville laughed.
"That's one way of looking at it," he
said. "Now sing something else, Syl."
She sang to him, again. This time an
old French ballad..
' Neville leaned against the sides of the
pit and listened with ell his ears, He
was passionately fond of musk.
"Hallo!" he said. "What' ts that?

"'ou don't remember your mother,
Sall" asked Neville, as It °mined to
lom that he might learn something of
her people. He would have to find them
some day and restore her.
She shook her head.
"No; she died soon after I was born.
Papa seldom spoke of her; it always
made him sad and unhappy. And yet I
know that they were so happy --once,
for he told me that they lived in a very
beautiful house in the country, and that
the sun always shone; he meant that
they, were always happy."
"Yes; he couldn't have meant that the
sun really always s'hone-that is, if it
eves in England,' said Neville, concisely-.
"Yes; it was in England. Then trouble
came."
She shook her head thoughtfully.
"I don't know. Papa lost all his
money. It was not his fault. He had
an enemy—"
Neville stared at her solemn. face.
"A what?"
"An enemy," she repeated. "A man
who hated him, and wanted to ruin him.
I think he must have ruined him. Then
mamma died. I think she died of grief."
She paused, and Neville turne& his
head away. lf there had been any tears'
in her eyes theyhad gone when he
looked round again.
"Well?" he said.
He had tot learnea much that was of
any use to him yet.
"Then papa left England, and we tra-
veled about. We lived in France. and
papa taught a school. That's as far
bath as I can remember clearly, and we
were very happy, we two. -We used to
take long walks along the river bank,
and papa would tell me the name of
every flower and teach me things. Then
one day he came home very sad and
tired looking, and said that we must
leave. His enemy had been to the school
ancl told lies about him, and the people
had. belieYed the enemy because he was
rich and powerful, and papa was poor
and unknown."
Neville's blue eyes expanded.
"Why, it's just like ti, novel, Syl!" he
said, gravely.
She nodded.
"Is it? Then we took to wandering
again, and sometimes papa got work
teaching or -in a bank or -an office, but
sooner or" later the enemy would come,
and we had to leave."
"Ile was a nice kind of man; the
enemy, as you call him. What was his
name, Syl?" •
She ehook her head. •
"I don't know. Papa. never told me."
"Pm sorry for that," said Neville,
grittily.
"Why, Jack ?" .
"Because I should make it niy business
when I got out of this hole to find that
individual and try and squire accounts."
"What could you do, Jack?" she asked,
dubiously.
"Well, 1 coulde give him the Roundest

"Yes," she said, softly. "But I thank

eagerly.

According to the newest theorlee,
round shoulders are not to be cured by
exercise alone, For they are caused not
merely from a eareave wxy of, holding
the back, but indicate a weak conutoon
of the entire ystem, and so it dia.:041
diet calculated to supply the Missing
streugth forms an important part of the
traighaeming process.
A treatment to effect 8 cure for this
trouble should inolude an. invieerating
tonic, suck as quinine and iron, and the
roost simple and,regulea Way of living.
Only easily 'digested and nourishing food
should be eaten, aud sound steep neces-
sary for perfect ;vat must be secured,
Being out of doors all that is poseible
is part of the euro, the theory being that
fresh air tones aud strengthens the en-
tire body. Walking is the best of all
exercise to take at such time, making
every effort to hold the shoulder bath,
expand the chest and breathe deeply,
says the New York Evening Telegram.
Once thest expansion is gained, round
shoulders aro banished, for the spine
takes on its proper line and tbe shoulder
blades go back into place. Bicycle rid-
ing is good to straibgten the back, al-
ways providing that one does not go in

ily, sitting erect. Horseback riding is
the perfection of exercise to remedy
such trouble.

Rifle and Smooth Bore.
The main difference between a rifle
and a smooth -bore gun is that the inner
surface of the rifle barrel has one or
more spiral grooves cut into it. The ob-
ject of this is to permit a portion of the
material of the bullet or projectile to
sink into the grooves. As the projectile
is forced out of the barrel these projec-
tions into the grooves tend to remain
there, thus giving rise to a spinning hie -
Hon. In fact, it is not only going for-
ward, but is rotating rapidly as it goes. -
The axis will tend -in accordance with
the gyroscopic principle- to maintain,
without change, its direction. But that
is really saying that the projectile will
tend to remain in its true course. So
this is why a rifled gun sheets straighter
than a smooth bore. -From J. F. Spring-
er's "The Gyroscope," in March St. Nich-
olas,

Tourist and the High-priced Candles.
A tourist was shown to a room in a
hotel in Brussels, where he found twenty
candles stuck in a chandelier. As it was
dark the attendant lighter' them all;
but the guest had been in Continental
hotels before and made him put thein
out immediately,
This was of no avail, however. In his
bill next day he found them charged,
"Twenty candles, 10 francs."
The tourist thereupon went back to
the room and took out all the candles,
wrapped each one in -paper and put them
into his pocket.
When he was about to leave the house
he found the servants drawn up in two
lines in the hall, ten- men servants on
one side, ten maid servants on the other,
all sinning and ready for the expected
tip. Then he drew out his package and
distributed the candles, one to each.
"Allow me, monsieur," he said, with a
bow, "permit me, mademoiselle. They are
very superior candles, I assure you; I
paid half a franc apiece for them," and
he left them all staring at the candles
in their hands like so many altar boys.

What Have You Done?
(By General Booth)
Let me ask you a question: "What
have youedone with your life? What
works have yen done? Have you done
mighty works -works that the angels
knew you could not have done if the
Spirit of God had not been upon you?
Are you known amOng:your brethren and
haybur neighborhood as having done any-
thing worth talking about? Have you
slain any Philistines? Have you made'
any havoc among the enemies of the
Lord ?"
I might ask you whether you have
gained any mighty victories over the in-
ward foes, the Philistines of your own
soul? What have you done with them t
They are there if they have not been
skin, crucified, put to death; even if
they have only been crippled and maimed
they are still there. What have you done
with those Philistines? aHave you allow --
ed them to walk about like Goliath and
defy all time armies of the Lord? Or
have you slain them? Have you done
any mighty works in your own heart?
There aseaaaaaliatines there, and I will
name but Mie or two.
There is that indolent, loafing, selfish
nature that leans always towards taking
care of yourself and looking after your
own comfort and pleasure, in your eat-
inge, drinkings, dressings and workings.
Whet about that Philistine? Have you
done with it? Or have you indulged it?
No wonder it is strong. Fed' it? No
wonder it is fat. Have you let it have
its own way? No wonder it defiee you
and defies all you can bear to bring upon
it, and defies the God of Israel Himself.
I- have had some difficulty with this
Philistite myself. My poor bcaly has
always been crying out for mercy, and ,
crow& outside all my days have been
saying, "Don't kill yourself; it is your
dutv to take care of yourself." They be.
gat to tell me fifty years ago that I
should kill myself. What have you done
with that Philistine?
There is it tumid -hearted spirit that
struts about m some eouls-a hasty,
ambitious temper. There is else a
grudge -bearing spirit.. What have you
done with that? Then there is the
worldly disposition that at every tuen
leads you to look over the walls and
outside on the fashions and pleasures of
'Mammon and the pleasent things of this
life. What bave you done with that?
Have you erueifiedeit? Have you put
it down? Have yata destroyed it? Have
you kept it under?
-There is that cursed habit of unbelief,
which is one of the chief enemies of
God and the friend of all the other
Philistinee. Where, T nth yen,are your
mighty worke among. the Philietines of
your own soul? What have yon &me
