AT me rop 01 a nwp nm two
young men sat on a stono wall
by tlio roadside, resting.
It vu lute od a Sunday afternoon In
OcIoImt. Streteblug owny on every
tide, wlib here and there the roof of
farm houses visible, ere tlio bright
color of rllM-uluif foliage. Four in lies
sway toward tbe west was tlio huzy
outline of the city.
There bad been silence for some time
between tbe two companions. At
length Howard Crane spoke. He wan
an athletic fellow, wltb a healthy color
lu bis alert, smootb-ehnveu face.
"I ii)m)ko this Is our lnt walk to
gether for this year," bo said. "I shall
be lonesome enough without you nil
winter. I wish you had uot sot to go
south.
"And I wish you could go south with
Die," said John Brnnt. smiling. lie whs
tall and spare, wltb a palo, sensitive
face. "Rut of course the law can't get
on without you."
Crane laughed. "I don't Just see how
M can leave now. I'd like to be with
you, only I'd hate to waste so much
time, and I was never particularly fond
of loafing around doing nothing."
"I know I'm lazy," said Brant, good
humoredly. "but whore's tho line In my
doing anything? It would only be tak
ing tbe bread out of some poor fellow's
mouth."
As tho sun went down they left the
wall and set out at a brisk pace toward
the city.
"Of course," said Crane, after
panne. "I don' want you to stay here

you any troublo before. A winter lu
he South will fix you nil right, but It's
Roliig to be lonceomo for me. You
know you are the only one I am at all
clnimniy with." He sighed deeply.
"You aro not going to bo so lonely as
you think," said Brant, wku a quiet
tuille.
"What do you mean?"
Urant hesitated, and then said, a lit
tle apologetically: "I know you'll think
J o silly old woman to believe It, but
' bad a dream about you a little while
go, and I can't get It out of my bead,
" was so real."
"Well, what was It?" prompted
Crane, as his friend paused.
"That you would be married In less
wan a year."
"There'a nothing I'm lesa likely to
ao." said Crane, laughing.
"Hut I feel sure you will," aald Brant,
ftruestly. "The dream was so vivid,
more like a vision. I saw you, and
nere you lived, and you were very
nappy,"
"It's utterly absurd." said Crane.
Such a thing hasn't entered my head."
They became silent, as they neared
we pty opi, wtn Dg own
U'OiighU. At Crane's door thev naxted.
"If I'm married when mil mine hack.
yu must come and aeo us," ho said.
''Shtly. -But I sha'n't be. I haven't
ny faith In dreams."
"Ves, you will," said Brant, positive
ly, and I'll be sure and Tlslt you.
Oood-by."
Blowiy and dejectedly Brant walked
Jong the brightly lighted streets to

a 018 ball, he went to bis room. and.

bupplly married to Crane,
lie was tempted even now,' at the
eleventh hour, to go to Mildred and oak
her to lie his wife. But the spell of the
drenm was upon him still, and ho felt
that he could not betray bis friend.
Even If he could, what renson had he
to think that Mildred returned bis
love? Aud supposing she did. It would
be a wrong to her, for ho told himself,
with self-di-precntlon, that Crane
would make her tho better husband.
No. he would carry out his plan to
the bitter end. The dream was so real
to him that he did not for a moment
doubt Its coming true. He smiled a
little grimly as he thought how every
one believed htm to hnve one foot In
the grave, and how his naturally palo
face had helped to deceive them.
Mildred would not expect to hear
from blin, thinking him not able to
write. Then Crane would begin to
show her little attentions, and
But here he broke off his reflections,
and found himself f-ellng glnd that be
would be away aud would not have to
see tbe affair going on. When ho came
back he would be able to meet her with
no outward show of emotion.
All winter Brant wandered from
place to place. Crane wroto twice, at
the first, but he was a poor eorreniKnd

unanswered.
At home the winter's snows melted,
the days grew louger, spring came, and
In May Brant returned.
As he walked along the street from
the station be heard his name spoken,
and a moment later Crane was shaking
his hnnd, and saying words of welcome
"I'm In a hurry now," said Crane,
"but come around to the olllce later,

Oood Clerks Are Not Always Good
Managers,
Some men make excellent clerks,
They are honest, reliable and Indus
Irlous, hut are lacking lu executive
ability and the qualities necessary for
Iho management of details. They are
til right If they have some one to plan
the campaign. They can then carry It
tut, but they aro entirely at sea when
compelled to depend upon their own
resources.
Laziness causes many a man to miss
that success which be might obtain
were he alert. Muny men stnrt well
and make some progress, but as they
loo things going along smoothly they
think they can now "take It easy,"
ind so leave the management of their
stores to Irresponsible clerks wlillo
they go on a hunting or a fishing trip,
r spend many hours Ion ling around
hotels when they should bo behind
their own counters.

A man to succeed in these days of
keenest competition must work hard,
tie must have a constant oversight up
on tho minutest detnlls of the busi
ness, and though ho may not perform
every task himself, he should know
that It has been done properly by bis

It appears that some of the memlx-rs

people prefer to bo burled with their

by one of the objecting members sug

Climate of Irelund.
Iceland Is not by any mentis so for
ilddlug a country as Its mime Implies;
It Is no more a land of Ice than Gru-n-laud
Is a land of verdure. It Is uot
nearly so cold as many places In the
('lilted Slates, not to mention tho
Canadian Dominion. The 11 fly and
sixty degrees below zero registered ev
ery wlu'er In the Northwest Territory
and Asslnllioln, and even the thirty
five and forty below experienced In
Montana and Northern Dakota, are
unheard of In Iceland. Neither Is the
other extreme of rrent heat felt, such
as these very regit us lu North 'Ameri
ca eudure. No Icelander knows
what a temperature of a hundred In
the shade Is. There are no sudden
fluctuations or great changes; the cli
mate Is remarkably equable. A varla
tlon of thirty degrees In a month Is
probably not on record In the Island.
This equableness Is due, of course, to
the same cause that produces a similar
effect In tbe HrltlsU Isles the gulf
stream. This grent ocean current
washes the southern and western
shores of Iceland, Insuring a mild win
ter and a balmy summer. There aro
glaciers, but they form no Iceliergs.
The sea around the Island Is never
frozen, nor Indeed Is any float Ing Ice
seen, save on rare occasions off the
uorthern coast Now and then, lu
summer, prolonged storma will carry
floating Ice across from the Greenland
coast and drive It upon the northern
shore of Iceland, together wltji cold
fog aud rain, lu this way polar beurs
are also sometimes landed on the Isl
and. Ou the other hand, the winters
are so mild that thunderstorms often
occur. In fact, most of the thuuder
storms In Iceland are In tbe winter
mouths.

describing the Froccsslou of Silence,
Mr. IIoiiniiI rays:
But there Is one mu died figure that
bears the heaviest cross, and walks
painfully with unshod and shackled
feet over the liueveu stones, who, ow
ing lo the strange and peculiar pen
ance he performs, cannot hope to en
Joy the anonymity of his brother peni
tents. The self Imposed ieniiiice of
the father In Seville would seem,
eveu as the weight of their sins, to lie
visited upon their children uuto the
last generation of their seed. At least,
It Is true thnt the staggering youth be
fore us Is the twentieth of bis name
and line who tins done vicarious pen
ance for the sins of his forefather, a
celebrity of the sixteenth century, who
looked "on benuty charming" with 4ho
eyes of Don Juan Tenodlo. He was
finally captured, the legend relates, by
a Barbery corsair, and carried a pris
oner to Ornn, where, mnnacled anil
chained, he spent many a long and
weury day wishing that he were dead.
But while he pined hopelessly In prison
be made a solemn vow that, should he
ever regain bis liberty, we would walk
barefooted, and humbly bearing his
cross, behind the Christ of the Great
1'ower In every madnigadu, or morn
ing procession; and, furthi. he rowed
that he would make the annual accom
plishment of this vow a charge upon
bis estate for all time, by providing
that should any oue of his male de
scendants fall In Its performance, his
portion of tho estate should go to en
rich the foundation of a convent.
Thcro hnve been uo defaulters
among the old gallant's heirs; and
though the present bearer of the proud
name 's a perfumed and scented polio,
dude of Seville society, he too did not
shrink from tbo sacrifice necessary to
keeping the money In the family. And
I regret to say that, as he came meekly
along lu this strange guise, his appear
iiieo excited much amusement among
tho other polios, whoso Inheritance
had come to them without so unpleas
ant a condition; and at tho sight of his
bruised and bleeding feet much money
was wagered on the question of wheth

"I was called upon In 1878 to defend
a man who was charged wltb tbe most
