The last thing Jennings remembered was seeing Sykes at the door, a pistol in his band. The last thing he heard was the discharge of the weapon. When he opened his eyes, to find himself in his bed at home, and his Jennings' first “They got him?” he demanded feebly. A tall man rose from the other side of the bed. Jennings, to his amaze- ment, discovered that it was Rothway, the president. “Yes, we got the scoundrel, thanks to you, Jennings,” he sald. “We're going to put you in his place.” “In prison?” gasped Jennings with sioking heart. “No, no, my boy,” said Rothway, beaming. “In his office, of course.

John Dunbar broke the routine of a quar- ter of a century. He went to the city. While there he attended the theater. If Mary had known of that fearful sin she would probably have divorced him! John had never seen a play before. It was chance or destiny, surely provi- dence, that he was fated to witness | a wonderful home drama that ran only for that night. Perhaps the in- experienced John was the only one who saw the real merits of the piece and took its rare lesson to heart. It was homely, simple, pure and clean. Its main character was a modern Heraclites who laughed his way into the play, all the way through it and faded out of it leaving a smile on the faces and in the hearts of those of his audience who were attentive and sympathetic. | At all events that play made such an impression upon John Dunbar, that when he got home he called together out in the woods all the family except “mother.” “I've got an idea, or rather a play I saw has given me an idea,” he said. “I want to tell you all what it is, and then as the true and loving children you are I want you help me in a plot + to—to—well, to reform mother.” “As if mother with her suspicious | ways wont scent out the deepest ! scheme you could devise, father!” submitted the eldest boy, Ronald. “She can’t—no trouble if she does. The plan is a harmless one. Home has grown to be a gloomy solemn prison. Let's unite and make it just the reverse.” “How, father?” year-old Blanche. “Smile. If mother is cross, don't get grompy. If she’s out of sorts, | don’t cater to it. Just smile-smile- | smile. I want you all to help me | make of the rather uncomfortable old | homestead a house of smiles, see?— | Bood name, eh: ‘The House of | Smiles!’ " There was a certain fairly mischiev- ous spirit of delight injected into the situation. When Mrs. Dunbar that evening began her usual “I'm dead worn out with this ceaseless house- | work!"” her husband beamed upon her expansively, with the comforting ob- servation. “That's because you in- inquired sixteen- else in the town!" If shrewd Mrs. Dunbar suspected the obvious change in the genial mood of the family, she was disarmed, help- less to resist it. She might have met sulkiness, disobedience, deflance, but | a smile, ever present and inoffensive and innocent, puzzled and silenced her. It seemed to indicate that her perverse autocratic system, now ac- cepted pleasantly as a willing cross, was losing its power to disturb, Mary | began to realize that there was such | a thing as a woman having too much of her own way. Then, although she never relaxed that grim temper of hers outwardly and never admitted it, she took a se- cret silent delight in basking in the loveliness and inspiring cheer of the hours spent around the evening lamp, | where the family circle was encom- | passed in cheery laughter, bright re- partee and—smiles! | You'll be the | | sist on doing it better than anybody | that shook the supposed domestic in- fallibility of the self-willed mistress of the household. “The house has been burglarized!” was the direful announcement of John one night when they returned from a church sociable. Yes, and four hundred dollars in cach missing from a secret hiding place where Mary had insisted on keeping it, instead of placing it in the bank! It was all her fault and she looked pretty glum. But no one blamed her. John only touched her affectionately on the cheek and said: “Thankful I wore my watch! If the thieves had taken that with your pic- ture in it, I'd have mourned, I tell you!” And Mrs. Dunbar actually flushed and murmured: “You foolish man!” and then her hard nature softened still more as the jovial family kept on smiling, despite the loss of the looking at Campion with courage born, around their faces, curl up and peace- | ; money. “‘Oh, sir,” she said, ‘I thought it was During August, the first month of the waste paper and I threw it in the ; War, the percentage of those out of wastepaper basket.’ . “‘No,’ I said, ‘it wasn't waste paper. .

At 12 o'clock John Jennings laid ‘ down his pen, got down from his high . stool, and went quietly toward the of- . fice of Mr. Campion, the new manager. He knocked timidly at the door. i “Come in!" shouted Campion. “Oh, ) it's you, Jennings?” | “Yes, sir,” stammered Jennings, of desperation. “Mr. Campion, I want work was doubled. Similar statistics in regard to pauperism point to a re- | turn to normal conditions. In the first week of the war, applications for rellef under the poor law increased to 17 per cent. The payment of separa- tion allowance to soldiers’ families and the boom in manufacturing war supplies have since co-operated to re- duce distress until there are now few- er paupers shown in the statistical records than in any year, excepting | 1913, l | | Somnolent Egyptians, Egyptians can lie down and go to sleep anywhere.

Again her fault! but John only smiled, saying pleasantly: “Suppose you'd been in the house! 1 tell you, we're lucky people. You deserve a new house with more con- veniences in it, and you're going to have it!” And the day this splendid new edi- fice was completed, and the smiling faces of the whole family beamed on mother as she came up the steps, her lip quivered. “John, I'm—Pm going to behave myself!” she whispered meekly. And the corners of her lips wern' no longer drawn down, but parted in a way that uplifted all the hearts that were there. And then a new woman became the queen of the new home, that hence- forth was indeed a veritable “house of smiles!” (Copyright, 1913, by W. G. Chapman.) NO DANG—ER OF BURIAL ALIVE Fearful Fate May Be Classed as an Impossibility in This Day of Scientific Knowledge. There i3 a widespread belief among educated persons that burial while still alive is, though not probable, at least possible. As evidence of this be- lief one has but to notice how many pereons leave instructions in their wills for the taking of special precau- tions to guard against this most dread- ful of catastrophies. « ‘When embalming takes place, of course, there is no possibility of being buried alive; yet being killed by em- balming fluid, instead of being allowed to revive and spend many more years on earth, is not the fate one would se- lect. Although there is but one infallible sign of death, namely, putrefaction, yet there are many other eigns, no one of which is incontrovertible, yet that when taken together, even in the absence of putrefuction, make the di- agnosis absolutely sure. At a recent meeting of the Brighton and Sussex Medico-Chirurgical society Dr. L. A. Parry discussed the various conditions that might be mistaken for death and pointed out, that whep- the e crops available, cattle, sheep and hogs can have green food the year round.

And no doubt you'll fall into another position very soon—one more suited to you. | That'll be all, Jennings.” Utterly crushed, Jennings crept back to his stool. His mind whirled, chaos seemed to have opened beneath his feet. To lose his position, after 20 | years’ service, at forty-three! What | could he do? It was the most terrible | thing that had ever happened to him. He said nothing to his wife. Mary ‘and he never discussed office affairs. The days flew by. Jennings had barely a week at the office where he had spent the better part of his work- ing years. And as he sat on his stool thoughts came into his mind that he had never known bi fore. The safe in Campfon’s office was an old one. tained never less than five or six thou- sand dollars, which came in during the afternoon, after banking hours. It would be the simplest matter to slip the key of Campion’s office from its hook in the night watchman's little office, open the safe with the old com- bination, and retire with his booty. The idea became an obsession and he the last Saturday of the month. Everything favored his plan. Cam- pion had gone away into the country. At six o'clock Jennings went out among the other bookkeepers and clerks, but, as soon as the last had de- parted, he turned and made his way back, secreting himself in a corner of the stenographers’ room, where half- blind old Sykes would never see him. toward the watchman's office. The key to Campion’s room hung by the door. Old Sykes would sit, dreaming of the past, behind a half-partition of wood, for hours at a time. In his stockinged feet Jennings crept up, ab- stracted the key and fled. He put on his boots again and crept cautiously toward Campion’s office. He thought he heard a slight noise with- in, and hesitated, but it was not re- peated, and, cautiously turning the key in the door, Jennings entered. A man in a black mask was kneeling in front of the safe, counting a pile of bills. At the sight Jennings' scheme of theft was all forgotten. He remem- bered only his long service with the firm, his watch-dog trust and obedi- ence. And this burglar was about to victimize them. With a shout Jennings leaped at the fellow, who, taken off his guard, staggered back under the other man's impetus. Then, seeing that Jennings was unarmed, he sprang at him in turn, wielding a formidable iron Jimmy, with which he must have pried open the window that gave on the in- terior yard. Jeaniags evaded the blow and caught the fellow's arm. They wrestled | to and fro, Jennings calling for help loudly. His strength was outclassed by that of the other, for 20 years of office work does not make for mus- cularity. He knew that once he lost hie hold on the burglar's arm the Jimmy would descend. The burglar fought in silence, but in desperation, too. Jennings heard the quick tramp of old Sykes’ feet outside. He put forth all his strength to throw the other to the floor. .
