"No. The Instructions wero carried out Ills wound In the nrni Is trifling. But tho coward was not ao generous when It camo to tho llfo of bis Inno cent, harmless dog. Ho killed the poor thing.

I'onelopo could not resist tho tempta tion to Invent a story befitting the mo ment. Assuming a look of concern, she turned to her brother and said: "He Is coming to aee you about It to morrow, nnd ho la coming armed to the teeth, attended by ft largo party of friends. Mr. Shaw says bo will have aallsfactlon for the death of that dog If ho has to shoot everybody on the place." "Good Lord!" cried tho duko.

The entire party now was listening to the principal speakers. "Nonsense!" exclaimed Lady Evelyn. "Ho won't como. It's all bluster. Don't let It frighten you, Cecil. I know tho manner of man." "I wish you could hnvo seen blm this morning," murmured Penelope, thoroughly enjoying tho unexpected altuatlou. Ilor conscience was not troubled by tho prevarication.

While the "Ohs!" wero still struggling from their lips Ilodder, the butler, came Into the room, doing bis best to retain his composure under what seemed to be trying circum stances. "What Is It, Ilodder?" demanded her ladyship. "Tho cook, your ladyship. She's fall en downstairs nnd broken her leg," an nounced Ilodder. lie did not betray it, but he must hnvo been tremendously surprised by the sigh of relief that went up on all aides. Lord Bazelhurst went so far as to laugh. "Ha, ba! Is that all?" "Oh, dear, I'm so glad!" cried Miss Folsom Impulsively. "I was frightened half to death. It might have been Mr."- "Don't bo silly, Rose," said Lady Ba lelhurst. "Where U she. Ilodder?" "In tho laundry, your ladyship. There are two fractures." "By Jove, two legs Instead of one, then.

Jim Mow . a. Ja mm The August Surrey. Fifty-seven varieties of millionaires nnd multl-inllllonalres, not to mention the many near-mllllonalres, have so pauperized' Greenwich, Conn., the sec ond richest town in America, that the citizens became very loath to pay good monoy for what they might get by a little Judicious begging. In Tho Rich Town nnd The Poor Schools, May Ayres In The Survey for August tells how dependence on chance and Indis criminate charity has resulted in con ditions which, when skillfully brought home to the taxpayers through an ex hibit, shamed them for the first time Into serious consideration of their neglected schools. Twenty-nine school rooms, for Instance, have less air space per pupil than the minimum al lowed In any state which has specific legislation on this subject. Tho waterfront of any great port Is Its raw frontier. On It the casual la borer makes his last Btand, and every man Is taken at bis worth. It lo thlB sharp and often intensified competi tion, combined with the fact that nn turo locks up hundreds of ports nearly half the year, that accounts for much of the suffering among seamen. George McPherson Hunter, in Destitution Among Seamen, proves thnt his expe rience with tho American Seamen's Friend Society has made hlin an un derstanding end sympathetic friend o( ".lack." Camp Hole, a Social Experiment, by Harry Blake Taplln, describes a sum mer camp run on novel lines, where the boys are kept In the country long enough to gain a real knowledge of the fundamental Importance of agri culture. Graham, Taylor, In City and Church Renpproachlng Each Other, tells how the church, which was at first so closely identified with the town that unbelievers wero called pa gans or countrymen, drifted away from its close touch with the city. He also points out how It is recementlng Its ties to city life. Two more articles by Robert A. Woods and Charles G. Glrellus tell of the strikes of Boston's street railway employes and of Balti more's stevedores.
