I come acrosa a hero tbe other day. lie looked much tbe same u every day mankind. Ho did not know be waa a hero, nor did I until he bad left tho party in which I met him. Domtwtio heroism, that of the pri vacy of borne, with no Victoria Croat or congrtwional medal dangling be fore it as a pombility, is, after all, perhaps the nobleet of all heroiam. Iiere was a great, strong, healthy aud wealthy man, fond of outdoor a porta, of travel, of the activity of a busy commercial career one wno in his youth waa a man' man rather than a woman a. Fifteen years ago he married, and in a few years there came three children into the hotise- hold. It hud been a happy family. He has been a kindly husband aa hua bunds go, and she a pleasant and dutiful wife. Out of the night oame paralysis to her new life to him. Hiin-0 that time bis career has been entirely altered. His buaineas was quickly arranged so he could be fre quently alwt-nt from his office. He vu father, mother, nurse, teacher. companion and plajnnate compressed in one domestic providence. Never had woman more devoted attendant uor more faithful and intelligent nurse. All the little questions of house keeping and of the care and training of children, of their clothing, their pleasures and their pains, fell to him, and in his hands they have been managed with a wisdom and care absolutely wonderful This has been, remember, something of 10 years' standing, and it has grown instead of lemming. Outside of his compara tively casual attention to business his horizon is confined to the walls of his home. To make the wife for get her burden of affliction and be a ' happy woman through it all has been his hnppinefis, and with such a spirit he could not fail. They travel alwut considerably, this family, and all the details are taken care of by him. No hired nurses or governesses are permitted to usurp any of his duties, although there is one of each there at band aa his representative in times of en forced alwence. So skillfully is all this done, so modestly is it carried out. Hint even the chief beneficiary doe not realize what is occurring and that is his reward. "They do not build Westminster abbeys nowa days," said a friend of mine once, and I thought of his remark when I heard the story of this man, for the supply of heroes at this time is far below the demand.
