"I'll see what I can do, Irene." The subject we's dropped then, but en the following Saturday she stared when he put some money on the mantelpiece in the usual place. "Half -a -sovereign extra? You don't mean to say, Dick, that they actually have given you a rise? Well, it's not before you deserved it, anyhow. Are you sure I ce•n , have all this every week?"

"I'm afraid you aren't extra well, Dick. Just rest quietly then." She began to turn over the pages of a newspaper. "Ab, hare's an advertisement of Granclison's.

He had hardly moved when she returned from her walk with little Margery, • but during the evening he became quite cheerful again. On the Monday morning he began to dress quite half an hour before his usual time, and when ,his wife expressed astonishment, he stam- mered that he had forgotten to tell her before. "You mean they've asked you to get to the office earlier ? Oh, there's a rush of work, I suppose! How long will you have to do this, Dick V' "For quite awhile, I expect," "Not that you'll be paid anything extra! That's a shame 1 Well, 1'11 hurry up wit breakfast." • For same few months the small family progressed quite comfort- ably. With her extra, housekeeping money Mrs, Dolby found that many worries and anxieties disappeared; she had not to look .after every. penny so carefully as before. Her husband's health, however, had been gradually failing, and one morning he could.' not go to town. He tried to start off .as usual, but almost collapsed in the ,hall. Ap- prehensively she helped him back to bed again:. ",Send a wire to the firm, Irene. Don't forget!" "`No, dear. And Pll fetch a doc- tor, too." "We don't want him," her hus- band remonstrated, raising him- self on his elbow. "Quite unnec- essary!. nnecessary1 Doctors' bills get as long as your arm in next to no time. Besides, I'll be all right again to- morrow." But the . following morning found him slightly weaker. Disregarding his protests, she went off hurriedly.

That night Mrs. Dolby ,slept • light- ly, and a slight noise aroused he at once. It was her husband speak- ing. Yes,: Dick? What is it? What, do you want?" - He did not answer,; and sshe sa that he was asleep ; yet in a moms or two his voice droned en: "Season -ticket would have co three pounds five.

After one gasp, Mrs. Dolby hard- ly breathed. She pressed a. hand to her side. There was a dull pain at her heart as she began to realize the truth. He spoke in a louder tone sud- denly. "Yes, Irene; I've "ordered those suits. I've ordered them." Then he whispered again.. "Sorry to. have to tell:her a lie -told her a lot lately! She's never guessed, thank goodness, Had to get that extra money somehow ! . Yes, for housekeeping you wanted it, dear. I know.

In :his recently published book entitled "People Who Have Been Punished' in Germany," Dr. Ring- elnburg, governor of the famous Moabit prison in Berlin, has rather startled the entire world by his rev- elations. ' Ile says Germany is full of criminals, and that it enjoys the distinction of being by far the most law-riddencountry in the world-- that orld-that "if the .average of the •new laws imposed upon the people of. Germany in the last few years is maintained it may soon be that Walking across a thoroughfare will be one of the punishable offences under the penal code." Already, lie says, every Sixth man and every twenty-fifth woman in the German Empire has been punished for some violation of the laws. His Statis- tics are given in the hope that these revelations concerning the number of German "criminals" may contri bute to the reduction of the great n ember of punishments for trivial transgressions of petty, irritating laws. Dr.. Finkelnburg shows the number of "criminals" in Germany at the present time to be 3,869,000, of whom 3,060,000 are males and 809,000 females.

Cooke's Church New Preacuer. It is hard to say whether Rev. John McNeil, the new minister • of Cooke e Church, who was brought from Liverpool to bike the charge, is living up to his advance notices or not. In this corres- pondence some time ago it was stated that what,. down town 'Toronto needed in a re- ligious way was a great preacher, who would do what Moody or Spurgeon did is their respective spheres. Those tyho ex- peoted a Moody or -a Spurgeon in Mr. McNeil are possibly doomed to disap- pointment. Per all that, Mr. McNeil will probably have a successful ministry in good old Cooke's, which for half a century has been a beacon light . of Christianity in down town Toronto. Ire is a common- sense Soot (the first minister of Cooke's who has not been Irish), who promisee to preach the Gospel and avoid sensation- alism or frills in any attempt to gain popularity, Fie has a keen sense of lin• mor, which breaks into his sermons and illuminates them like splashes of free' gold in the flinty quartz. But if lie lacks the qualities. of a supreme preacher it is be- cause he has not as yet displayedthose qualities of fervor and of imagination which grip the hearts of his hearers, Meanwhilehe is getting acquainted with life and conditions in Toronto as fast as he can. Frequently he may be seen on the busy .down -town streets sauntering along .alone, apparently getting his bear- ingsas to streets and buildings and study ing human We as he can read it on the faces of the crowd. Ms own rugged frame and strong face are sufficient to arrest attention.

Except in the inner circle, how- ever, little has been learned of his per- sonality. So far he has declined to be interviewed by any newspaper represen- tative. When is a Show Indecent' , The virtual Scotch verdict of "No guilty, but don't do it again," rendere by the jury in the prosecution of F. W Stair, who controls a burlesque theatre on a charge of 'permitting an indecen performance last winter, gives little satis faction to the moral reformers. 'The per formanee under attack was the one whit Rev. R. B.
