Love Cures Cynicism of* a
Worldly Minded Man.
H lnokhy, my chum at college, was
one of those fellows who eut every
question to the quick. One of bis fa
vorite hair splitting points was the de
nial of spontaneous good. He granted
there are good people in the world, but
m aintained that they are good because
it is their interest to be good.
1 did not meet Hinckley for several
years after our leaving college, and
then, curiously enough, it was at a
meeting of the Salvntlou Army.
“W hy. Hinckley," 1 exclaimed, "who
ever would have thought to run across
yon In a place like this! Surely you
m ust have got rid of your cynicism."
"Not at all." Hinckley replied.
"B ut w hat brings you here?"
"W ait aw hile and I'll show you.”
Presently Captain Ida Sherwood
came upon the platform and began to
speak. It seemed to me that If I had
not seen her—had only listened to her
voice—I would have been convinced of
her love for her work. But th at heav
enly face contrasting w ith the poke
bonnet which surrounded It. her ex
pression and her accounts of her work
In reaculng the lost—it seemed to me
that an angel In woman's form had
come to earth.
“I am glad." I whispered to Hinck
ley. “th at yon have found one who is
capable of breaking down th at mis
anthropy of yours."
“She hasn't broken down w hat you
call my m isanthropy,” he replied, "but
she Is capable of breaking my heart."
W hen the m eeting broke up we went
off for a little supper together, and
Hinckley told me th at C aptain Ida
Sherwood would soon have an oppor
tunity to show her preference for her
work to him. for he Intended to pro
pose to take her to a com fortable home
and make her his wife.
“B ut suppose." I said, “she declines
to m arry you unless perm itted to fol
low the life she has chosen?”
“ She w on't do that." he replied. "She
loves me "
The next tim e I saw Hinckley he was
bitter against the Salvationists. "The
whole thing is a fraud." he said.
“There is but cine am ong them who is
not m aking all they can out of it; she
is sincere."
“C aptain Ida Sherwood?"
“Yes."
“W hy do you except her?”
“Because she loves me as I love her.
and she w on't leave her work because
she loves it better than either me or
herself.”
"H 'm ,” I replied musingly. "W ell
having found one sincere person
among them, perhaps in time yon will
find others. B ut if you love her and
wish to m arry her why don't you per
m it her to go on w ith her work after
m arriage?”
“She saya th at a m arriage between a
Salvationist and one absorbed In get
ting rich would be no m arriage a t all."
I met Hinckley on the street not long
after this, and I scarcely knew him.
He was w alking abstractedly, w ith his
eyes staring vacantly before him, and
did not see me till I tapped him on the
shoulder.
"W hy. Hinckley,” I exclaimed,
"w hat's happened?"
“Nothing."
“Nothing?” .
“Jim . I'm w earing out,” he said, his
reserve suddenly breaking down.
"Business m atters?"
“No. I’m getting rich. Everything I
touch seems to Cum to gold. It’s In the
heart."
“The Salvation lassie?”
“Yes "
“C an't you strik e a compromise?"
"A woman doesn't know w hat the
word means."
“Can’t I help you?"
He shook bis head m ournfully, broke
aw ay from m e and w ent on.
One night I passed the Salvation
Army beadrpEirters and. seeing a great
crowd entering, w ent In w ith the
throng. I 1 intoned to services much like
those I had heard In company with
Hinckley for awhile, then went out.
but. hearirg: one or tw o Salvation las
sies who passed me pronounce the
words C aptain Sherwood and thinking
Miss Sherwood m ight speak. I returned
to the hall. I had no sooner entered
than I saw there on the stage the cap
tain. and beside her in a flaming red
shirt st<>od my old friend Hinckley. I
was nibbing my eyes to make sure that
it w as he when a Salvation officer ad
vanced and announced that Recruit
H enry Hinckley and Captain Ida Sher
wood would solemnize the bonds of
m atrim ony. I waited for the service to
be over, then left os quickly as possible.
I did not care to m eet Hinckley or to
have him know that I bad witnessed
bis change
W hen I saw Hinckley again there
was a great change in him. He had be
come one of the principal commanders
in the Salvation Army and was wholly
engrossed In his work. I called on him
at his office In the headquarters build
ing and Instead of looking humiliated
he looked triu m p h an t He Insisted on
my going home with him to dinner,
w here I found his wife much occupied
by tbelr first child, who was by no
m eans neglected for the good of suffer
ing hum anity.
"There. Jim ," said Hinckley. 'Is the
wom an who broke down my system of
philosophy. By pr«n ,ag to me that them
was som ething to love beyond our-
selwes she changed me from a money [
m aker to one who delights to build up
th a t which Is far nobler than fortunes

SLANDER AND THE LAW.
M aking a C harga O ra lly and In W ritin g
A r* V a stly Different.
Much may be said which cannot be
written, observes W illiam W. Brew ton
in Case and Comment. Slander (In the
/.‘gal sense) is usually not actionable
per se. though contem pt and perhaps
ridicule be caused of (he i>ersou against
whom the words were uttered, uuless
the accusation falsely involves crime,
moral turpitude, disease, trade, busi
ness. profession or other relation of
sim ilar importance.
To orally charge one w ith wife whip
ping, forgery of a receipt, having
burned a will, having taken something
some person has missed, petty deeds of
rascality, being addicted to the use of
dregs. with having spoken disrespect
fully of another, is not to be guilty of
slander.
It was held In an English case that
to express a suspicion that one has
committed some act is not slanderous
per se. An A rkansas case lias declared
that to declare that one's reputation
for truth and veracity Ls bad and that
the speaker would not believe the per
son charged on oath Is not slanderous
In itself.
It has been held In Georgia. New
York. Louisiana and other states that
such term s as rogue, rascal or villain
are not in themselves actionable as
slander.
