The elevator he owned controlled a fine trade. He offered to make a gift of it to his nephew. Vane Denslow was a proud self re- lant young man, but he saw his way clearly to accept the gift. In his mind and in his uncle’'s mind and in the minds of all who knew a great deal, but could not legally prove the same, when Vane's father died his brother fn-law had managed by a quirk of the law to get hold of some valuable property by all moral right belonging to the Denslows. There was no doubt that old Trench's conscience as he got older had urged him to a grudging restitu- His uncle | chest, and pneumonia. He was often semi-delirious and subject to delu- sions, such as that the bark of trees was covered with figures and faces of men. He thought often of his chil- dren and friends and his thoughts seemed almost to conjure them up before him. For the first time he was being carried and could not raise him- self to a sitting position. The Arabs were very kind to him in his extreme weakness, but the vertical sun, blister- | ing any part of the skin exposed to it, . tried him sorely in the day marches. “In July, 1870, his feet were almost consumed with irritable, eating ulcers, pulsating with pain. These sores were obviously communicated by | mosquitoes from the blood of the wretched slaves, who were tortured | with them.

The crafty plot regarding his ward was characteristic of Dale had expresscd his sentiments boldly and let the matter rest there. He disliked leaving his home town and his flancee, devoted Leoine Bel- ton, but they talked it all over and settled the sacrifice to business in a mutually satisfactory way. Then Leoine, at Wilby, began to receive some letters that nearly broke jber heart at the first, and Dale, at cerning his fiancee that amazed him. Fortunately he ran down to Wilby for an explanation. “It {s all clear to me,” he sald to Leoine. “Some trouble maker has got the news to you of my ‘gay life’ at Meridon, and to mo of the numer the old schemer. | Meriden, in turn received news cone | | “After 1869 he suffered much from the results of the decay and loss of 'his molar teeth, so that imperfect | mastication of rough African food in- fduced severe dyspepsia and his bod- ! {ly strength weakened under a condl- . tlon of permanent malnutrition. Stan- i ley, by relieving him when he did, gave him at least two more years of | !1ife, a certain measure of happiness ! and the sweet consolation that he was not forgotten and that the magnitude | of his discoveries was appreciated.” Lesson of Experlence, “Tll bet that that bridal ecouple bave been married before.” “Why?” “They've been living in the flat | above us for two weeks now and they haven't started a quarrel about each other's relatives yet.” ND, 38PT, 1, 1913, ter Is Thelr Unwillingness to In- terfere In Other People’s Busi- ness—Each Acts for Self. London.—A remarkable trait of the; ' Burmese character is their unwilling: | ness to interfere in other people's, affairs. Whether it arises from their | | religion of self-culture or no, I cannot say, but it is in full keeping with it.| Every man’s acts and thoughts are his: | own affair, think the Burmans; each; | man is free to go his own way, to| think his own thoughts, to act his own; acts, as long as he does not too much annoy his neighbors. Each man is! | responsible for himself and for him- gelf alone, and there is no need for| | him to try and be guardian also to hls; | fellows. And so the Burman likes to, | go his own way, to be a free man!' | within certain limits; and the freedom that he demands for himself he will! | extend also to his neighbors. He has a very great and wide tolerance to-! ward all his neighbors, not thinking it necessary to disapprove of his neigh-: bors’ acts because they may not be ' the same as his own, never thinking' it necessary to interfere with his, neighbors as long as the laws are not broken. ! Our idea that what habits are dif-! ferent to our habits must be wrong.j | and being wrong require correction at our hands, is very far from his thoughts. He never desires to inter- fere with anyone. Certain as he is that his own ideas are best, he is con- | | tented with that knowledge, and is not ceaselessly desirous of proving it upon other people. | And so a foreigner may go and live | in a Burman village, may settle down | threre and live his own life and follow | his own customs in perfect freedom; may dress and eat and drink and pray and die as he likes. No one will in-! | terfere. No oune will try and correct him; no cne will be forever insisting to him that he is an outcast, either from eivilization of from religion. The ‘ people will accept him for what he is and leave the matter there. If he | likes to change his ways and conform to Burmese habits and Buddhist forms, 1 | | Typical Burmese Architecture. 80 much the better; but if not, never mind. It is. I think, a great deal owing to this habit of mind that the manners of the Burmese are usually so good, children in civilization as they are. There is among them no rude inquisi- tiveness and no desire to in any way circumscribe your freedom by either remark or act. Surely of all things that cause trouble nothing is so com- mon among us as the interference with each other's ways, as the need- less giving of advice. It seems to each of us that we are responsible not only for ourselves, but also for every one else near us; and so it we disapprove of any act we are always in & hurry to express our disapproval and to try and persuade the actor to our way of thinking. We are forever thinking of others and trying to improve them; as a nation we try to coerce weaker nations and to convert stronger ones, and as individuals we do the same. We are sure that other people cannot but be better and happier for being brought into our ways of thinking, br force even, if necessary. We call it philanthropy. Dies a la Cleopatra.
