. Under Sealed Orders.
The distinction of being tho greatest
living muster of powerful F'nglish, has
long since been conceded to Rudyard
K'pling. In literary creations which
combine boldness of conception with
faithfulness of detail, he lias no peer.
His story of intrigue, love, hatred and
revenge, which is so forcibly portrayed
in tho dramatization, "Under Scaled
Orders" is one of tho strongest delimit
tions of human character that has ever
been presented in the histrionic arena.
The story is grand and powerful ; the
dramatization is better than the story.
All tho passions both gisjd and evil,
which actuate humanity, are portroved
with striking reality and vividness of do
tnil. There is n kaleidoscopic panorma
of lifo scenes which, though thrilling in
the extreme, are recognized as being in
mi wise U'vond the pale of probability.
This play is in unusually gissl hands.
The company presenting it has been
chosen with a view to individual litm .-s
fur the various parts and em h player
bundles his lines in a masterful manner.
The e is a rich vein of good w holesome
comedy throughout the piece which af
fords a pleusunt reaction from the more
thrilling scenes of tho play.
There will be no disappointment felt
by any one who sees "I'nder Sealed
Orders" next Wednesday evening, Feb.
Pith at Otiera house.

HIS NEIGHBOR
They tell m to 'lov my neighbor"
he's a sweet as swett kin be!
But what I'm a-wanttn" to know ta this:
Why don't my neighbor love me?
I send her the sweetest How era though
they're not so sweet as her:
But never In summer hours does she send
me a "Thank you, sir!"
They tell me to "love my neighbor,' an
I love her ritfht along;
But what does she care for the grief I
bear, and what for my sweetest
song?
I dunno what songs or flowers my neigh
bor does prefer.
For never In summer hours does she send
me a "Thank you, sir!"
Tell me to "love my neighbor?" I've
loved her until I seem.
In the lonely way o' the world to-day,
like one that walks In a dream!
But what's the comfort thai It brings to
me? My heart an' my pulses stir;
But never In summer hours does she
send me a "Thank you, sir!"

The Death of a Coward
THe Hoy leant wearily nffiifust the
bulwark rails, watching the
lights as they came up one by one on the
coast. The plunging of the ship still
made his head reel, and he was weak
from want of food lie seemed
altogether apart form- the stir uud
life of that 3iK) emigrants on
board created. His whole soul filled
with a dumb and impotent pro
test against his fate, and the life
before him. Old C'npt. Malcolm
had shown little wUclom when lie sent
his only son to sea to have some pluck
knocked into him.
In the father's defense it way be snid
that he was utterly unable to realize
the timidity audi sensitiveness of the
1kv. AH his ancestor had' been rough
seamen who had faced storm and dan
ger on every teu, and courage and nerve
were hereditury qualities. And now
the last of the Malcolms seemed more
of a girl than any of his five aihters.
All the exhortut ions to manliness, all
the covert reproaches that came from
his father, were bo many darts that
rankled and festered in his kouI. but
failed to compel hi nature to be other
tli a u it was. The boy was made for
peace, for the quiet and uneventful
life that nn ollice in his native town
could have offered umUr his mother's
watchful care. Instead, he was here,
an apprentice on the steamship 1'ride
of Asia, a big cargo boat just olf the
clips on the Tvne, and carrying emi
grants to the ("ape.
The ship's doctor came out of the sa
loon in the poop to go his evening
round bvtow. With him whs his wife,
a slight, girlish figure, wrap! in a
heavy clonk, She turned at the ladder
which led to the lower deck, and was
about to go back, when her eves fell
on the liny. She hnd noticed him once
or twice before, and his white face and
lonely air routed the womanly sym
(uitl y in her. She touched him lightly
on the shoulder and said': "You are
leaving home, like me.'
The hoy started, A flight color hpning
to Ins diet I. am! tears to Ink eyes,
lie smiled faint iy. showing a g.ip w here
two teeth hinl been knocked out by a
smaller boy in the only liyht he had
ewr had at school.
"Yes, nia'ain," he replied.
"You must feel lonely," she Raid ;
"but 3ni will soon be hack, and then
ewryitne will think so much of you.'
Her to'uv had romcthing caressing
and intitiiig about it; and o hi.-runtl-dem'e,

He tuld how impossible it wa& tti cmiie
up to his father's Mandard, how he felt
he was a born coward, and that he
would alwRvs be one, shrinking in
itincthely from the danger and excite
ment ihat bolder natures took pleas
ure in.
She listened sympathetically. Her
hand had patted him once or twice, and
encouraged him to go on. When he
ended, she said: "Yon must not be too
hard on yourself. It is not alwaysthose
who fear the least that are bravest in
the end. When the time comes, I u in
sure jioii will doyimrduty."
The b..y heard her listlessly. He
had little heart to respond to any ap
peal to bin manliness. There seemed
no time when be would not shrink
from hardship or danger. He nliiiunt
felt as if bis confidence had been mis
phicid, ami that rdie hud undt-rhtor,d

aa a gliont in the fog.
The l'ride of Asia had met her
death wound. At once till was noise
and confusion. The emigrants came
pouring up on deck, M'rciuuilig and
shouting with terror. Some of the
sailors rushed to clear the boats, but
a sharp order from the captain
stopped them.
In a few seconds the captain had
decided on his course. The remain.
Ing boats would not carry a hundred
and fifty people. There were more
than twice that number on hoard
un the other hand, the land wu
about three miles off, and a sandy
and protected beach 'meant safety.
Hut could it be done with that hole
in her side? He would try. He
changed her course, rang "Kull speed
ahead," and shouted to the mate: "Go
down and shut the for'ard bulkheads,
Mr. Jones."
The mate ran forward, and with
the help of the carpenter tore off
part of the hatch covering anil sprang
to the ladder. As he climbed down
young Malcolm peered aimlessly over
the hatch.
"Bring down a lantern," cried the
mate, and Malcolm, galvanized into
activity by fear, seized a lantern from
the alleyways and clamtiered down
Into the hold.
The mate ran toward the Iron door
in the bulkhead, which had been left
open, and pushed it to.
"The light hero quick!"
And the boy brought it.
"lllnst them! oh, blast them!"
roared the mate. "They've put the
bolts on the wrong aide. In five min
utcs we'll nil be In kingdom come."
He stumbled fur the ladder, wild
with terror. Yes, every one would
he drowned, and he, too, with the
cruel, cold wntcr sucking him down.
He dropped the lantern and begun to
pull himself up the ladder.
Suddenly he stopped. An Idea had
been born in hia brain; a hideous, un
thinkable thought the door could be
closed from the other side. Ha hung
limply on the ladder, and in his mind
raged a tornado of conflict.
(Hi, to be out of thia awful ship,
safe once again at home! Hut the
mute had said that all were lost.
That meant him, too. And If only
that door were shut, all could be
saved. Great beads of sweat broke
out on his forehead. He groaned and
writhed about like one on the rack
Then he begnn to descend slowly. He
stopped nua in on the last rung. He
clung to the ladder as a drowning
man to a rope, lie could never let
go. Why was he not going up the
ladder? There were boats left. He
had si en thnt. Hu could fight for a
place, mid be saved. He was so young;
not old, lllo- the mate and captain.
They must ijivc him a place.
All tit once he loosened his hold and
ran Mindly for the door, flu the way
he tripped mid fell heavily on his
linnils anil face, cutting and bruising
them. He lay half stunned for n
minute, moaning from the pain, then
ra'seil himself and crawled the rest
of the way. He passed through the
di-or. nnd wilh feverish haste hot
the great i;-on bolts. The boy was
alone in his tomb. He leaned against
the bulkhead, sick, siek to death.
Why had he done this? He did not
know. They would be saved now, but
he - ()! God, no more light or life for
him! His poor dry lips moved con
vulsively, anil his hands beat aimless
ly 'ti the i fiiii wall. He would go

would die in the open -with others
around him. It would be good to die
thus, ill this In II of darkness and
di si. lateness, lie iinshot one holt and
f ii n i lit. 1 1 for the other. Then, with a
low iiioan, he east himself from it,
driving his teeth into his lips in his
agony.
It was not to be. He was too grent
a coward to live. He could only die.
lie would pray. Itut he could think
of nothing nothing hut th I'his
night when I lie down to sleep" he
hail learned at his mother's knee.
To sleep oh, lie would sleep Inngl
There was to be no waking this time.
Long shuddering fits shook his
frame as he felt the Icy fingers of
death rising inch by Inch. He
n Teamed uud raved, dashing his head
against the Iron, that death might
come quickly. He plunged beneath
the water, only to come up again,
fighting madly for life. Then there
was a long drawn sob, and then si
lence. The captain stood on the bridge, n
figure of stony despair. The land
could never lie renched with water
pouring like a torrent Into the for
wnrd hold. Hu cursed his negligence
In overlooking such a frightful
blunder. It was going to cost 200
lives, nnd he must not be among the
sand. The l'ride of Asia was get
ting low in the water, but he could
not understand why she wns not sink
ing more by the how. She was vibrat
ing from the engines, pushed to their
hitrhest pressure, for the firemen
stuck gallantly to their iHists. Five
minutes went, and ten, and then,
with n sodden shock, she took ground,
and all were safe.
.Vest morning, young Malcolm was
missing, mid the sorrowful news was
sent to his father. It was thought
he had fallen overboard when the
ship grounded, and he could not
sw iin,
A week afterward, the divers en
tered the forward hold, and found, to
their astonishment, that the bulk
head door, which they had expected
to find open, was closed.
They foro-d It open, and against it
was flouting the liody of a boy. v

ation, Miss Anna Fiester was elected as
secretary. Some of the teachers whose
names appeared on the program being

dered :
The first was an address on "Institute
Work" by our worthy superintendent.
This address was excellent, brimrlmr
out the all Important facts Dortalnina to
tho work of teachers in a clear and con
cise manner. If all of our teachers
would have tho interest and seul in their
work that is shown by oursun't in all his
work I am suro there would be greater
successes gained in educational lines.
Heading was the next subicct present
ed, which was discussed fully by Miss
Blanche Fetterly. Her methods lor the

proved by all members of the Institute.

cellent manner by Miss Lucy George,
the reading of these methods was bil
lowed by a general discussion, all agree
ing that the methods outlined were well
worthy ol great attention.
Tho institute was next favored with
an address by Mr. Shocinuke on the
subject ol "School Library," in which
was shown the many benefits derived
from good literature, especially In con
nection -with our schools. This subject
was ably handled by Mr. Hhoomake.
