FOR WORDS TOO DEEP.
Written for the RECOKD.
There is a joy for words too deep,
That human hearts may feel.
If they in touch with nature keep,
Alive to her appeal.
To feel the pulsing of her heart,
In which warm love abounds,
Will thrills of ecstacy impart,
That often us astounds.
To contemplate the sunny smiles
That brighten nature's face,
The very thought of gloom beguiles
And gladdens every place.
To live in loving sympathy
With nature's every mood,
Is to enjoy felicity
And feel true gratitude.

PETERKIN, Mrs. Cay ley-Rivers's
portly butler, felt strong disap-proval
of the instructions he re-ceived.
"I expect Mr. Braithwaite,"
his mistress told him ; " I 'm not at
home to any one else."
'That's the man Susan says she's
sweet on," he mused, "and he is a
clerk of no importance in the War
Office. He's master here, for that's
what, Susan says it's coming to.
Pretty state of things !"
His particular grievance was that
having served in families with titles
hitherto he felt it a come-down to be
butler to a mere commoner, yet surely
Mrs. Cayley-Rivers would not always
remain a commoner. She was young
and handsome, rich, and free to marry
whom she pleased, and during the
year she had reigned in the house in
Cromwell Road had suitors in abund-ance
and more than one opportunity
of entering the peerage. But her maid,
Susan, was observant. She prophe-sied
that when the widow changed her
name it would merely be to alter Cay-ley-
Rivers to Braithwaite.
The visitor looked nervous when
admitted, and even a cordial greeting
from his pretty hostess did not seem
to set him at his ease, indeed, he, ad-mitted
as much. "I regard you to day
more in the light of a judge than a
friend, and I realize how prisoners in
the dock must feel,'' he said as he sat
down.
"But I told you in my note how
much I had enjoyed reading i t ; my
verdict is—simply that I'm wildly
jealous of you. Oh, if I could write
like you ! It's been the dream of my
life to be a dramatist. There's no
man I envy more than Tohn Oliver
Hobbes."
"You really t h i n k it good?" he cried
eagerly.
"Honor bright, as we used to say in
our childhood, didn't we? I really
think the play splendid. It's great,
and I 'm proud to be the friend of the
author. I knew you had it in you to
do something thoroughly good, and I
prophesy that soon every one will be
lauding you as the new Shakespeare."
"But I 'm such a hopeless outsider,"
saidShand. "I don't think it's any
good submitting it to a London man-ager.
For one thing, i t ' s too literary ;
there are only three theatres that it's
suitable for, and I don't know the
managers of any of them.''
" I t ' s just the play for t h e Crescent,
and the leading part would just suit
Roy Kellet,'' said Mrs. Cayley-Rivers,
naming a young and popular actor-manager,
who had not long started a
theatre of his own.
"Yes, he is the most likely man, but
the last modern play he produced
was not a success, and that was by
Kenny Hardy. Is it likely he'd seri-ously
consider one by an obscure man
when the risk of a failure is more than
doubled?"
"He will if I ask him,''
"You know him?"
"Very well. Haven't you met him
here?"
Shanddid not remember having done
so, but begged the lady if she really
asked the young actor-manager to read
it to say it was written by a friend,
not giving his name.
"Why are you so shy of acknowledg-ing
your work?" asked Mrs. Cayley-
Rivers with a smile.
" I confess I 'm shy of fathering it
at present, but if ever it is accepted
I shall be proud to own it. You are
the only living person who knows I
wrote it.''
"Am I ? " She took up the type-script
and turned the pages to the
end. " 'The Dramatic and Literary
Typing Agency' knows Mr. Shand
Briathwaite wrote i t ."
Shand shook his head. "I left the
manuscript at the office and called for
it, and I gave the name of Brown."
" I expect the housemaid at your
lodgings knows all about it. Servants
always know more of us than we
t h i n k ."
" I 'm sure she does not. I keep my
papers methodically under lock and
key and always carry the keys about
with me. And t h a t ' s the only copy in
existence. I accidentally set fire to
the manuscript with my pipe, reduced
it to ashes, and nearly set fire to the
room as well last week."

^ ¿ " A n y person sending us five new
cash subscribers iOi one year will be
entitled to the BBOOBD for one year, for
his trouble.
" I will take great care of it and im
press on Mr. Kellet to do likewise
You will trust me ?''
"You know I do," he answered sim
pty, and before the "frank worship in
his eyes Mrs. Cayley-Rivers averted
hers and said hastily :
"The weak points in your play, I
think, are the women ; they are not
nearly so well drawn as the men, and
the title is too long. I don't like it
The title was "The Inconsistency of
Lord Talbot."
" I happen to be a man and can na-turally
draw men better than women.
But the title—what alteration do you
suggest ?''
"Why not shorten it—why not 'Lord
Talbot'?"
For some time longer they discussed
the play, and Shand went away feeling
happier t h a n he had ever done in his
life. It was not so much Mrs. Cayley-
River's praise of his play as her atti-tude
toward himself that stirred his
blood and whispered wild hopes to his
brain that man himself and not the
play really interested her. Hitherto
he had set down her frank friendship
and encouragement of his visits as the
whim of an indifferent woman who
would one day drop him as easily as
she now patronized him. He knew
she had suitors of position far exceed-ing
his own, and was too diffident to
t h i n k he stood a chance of winning
her.
But her praise of the play changed
his attitude. Suppose she were right,
suppose Roy Kellet accepted it and it
proved a big financial success, he
would step into reputation and riches
immediately and could ask her to mar-ry
him without gossip whispering (in
the event of her saying "Yes") that
she was making a shockingly bad
match. Then, changing from extreme
optimism to extreme pessimism, he
told himself he was a fool, t h e play
was not read yet, far less accepted,
by Roy Kellet, and the odds were a
thousand to one against his doing so.
He was a fantastic dreamer, an ob-scure
clerk without prospects or pa-trons
to aid him, and an obscure clerk
he would ever remain.
Ten days elapsed, during which he
alternated between hope and despond-ency,
and then, not hearing from Mrs.
Caylay-Rivers, he called again at
Cromwell Road, but the lady on this
occasion was not alone, and not till
he was taking leave did he hear any
news. "Roy Kellet has i t ; I put it in-to
bis hands myself and he promised
to read it at once," she whispered
confidentially; and adding, "Good-by,"
turned away, giving him no op-portunity
of questioning her further.
He was sitting alone one evening
the following week when an office ac-quaintance
dropped in to see him on
his way to a bachelor gathering of a
man named Guthrie, known to both ot
them. Guthrie had a large circle of
acquaintances, chiefly artists and act-ors,
and his rooms and whiskey were
always open to them.
'Come on with me to Guthrie's,"
said the caller, "you unsociable old
hermit."
"I went once ; it was rowdy and the
atmosphere too redolent of shag."
"You'll see Roy Kellet if you come
to-night; he promised to look in."
Shand could not resist the opportun-ity
of seeing the man who held his
fate in his hands, and so about 11 he
made one of the dozen or so callers
who were filling Guthrie's sitting
room with smoke and noise. A piano
was going and a variety of subjects
were being discussed, the lamentable
lack of artistic taste in this country
being unhesitatingly expressed.
"And the British drama," said one
speaker at length, " i t ' s retrograding.
Pinero and Jones have written their
best work, and what are the young
dramatists doing? Writing musical
plays or imitations of Ibsen no man-ager
will look at or publisher even
p r i n t ."
"Bosh ! my dear fellow," a new
voice broke in ; " t h e British drama is
not moribund. I say so, and I'll prove
it within three months."
" K e l l e t ! " ejaculated Guthrie, jump-ing
up to greet t h e great actor. "De-lighted
to see you, but what news
have you of t h e British drama ? Have
you discovered a new Shakespeare or
even a new Pinero ?"
"Seriously, I t h i n k I have," replied
the actor, t a k i n g the chair offered him
and nodding to those of his acquaint-ance
in the room.
Shand's heart leapt to his mouth,
and getting in the rear of Kellet's
chair he affected to be studying a print
on the wall. Surely the actor's words
meant he had read 'Lord 'Talbot" and
was enchanced with it. He held his
breath, waiting for t h e speaker to con-tinue.
"Yes; I've just read a new play,"
Kellet went on ; "a modern comedy,
clean, witty, dramatic, original. It'll
take the town by storm, by Gad, it
will? and the title is 'Lord Talbot."
"And the author?" asked some one.
" I t ' s a woman—and a pretty woman
to boot. I dare say some of you know
her—Mrs. Cayley-Rivers."
"What! She wrote it ?" cried Guth-rie.
"Herself and no other ; so i t ' s not a
new Shakespeare but a new Sappho
I've discovered."
No one marked Shand Braithwaite
stumble out. He reeled like a drunk
un man down the stairs, but once in
the open the cool air revived him ;
yet he looked so strangely pale that a
passing policeman glanced curiously
at him.
'' Gambling—cleaned out and broke,''
was the inward diagnosis of Robert.
Nor was it very far wrong. Shand
felt he had lost all that made life
worth living—he was bereft of his
play, the child of his imagination, the
toil of years, robbed—cruelly robbed
of it by the woman he loved. And he
had trusted her so implicitly. The
theft was absolutely safe. Easy was
it to guess her explanation of his
knowledge of it and of his having tak-en
it to the typing office. She had
commissioned him to do so, and on
this connection with it he had built
up his extravagant pretensions. Such
would be her reply were he to accuse
her.
He reached home and tried to face
the situation. All night he sat in his
chair struggling with his emotions,
and with the coming of dawn reached
a measure of calm and fell asleep.
Morning found him physically tired
and too heartsick to immediatly face
his fellows. So he' stayed at home,
and early in the afternoon was roused
from his apathy by a telegram which
proved to be from Mrs. Cayley-Rivers.
'Come and see me," it ran.
"She wants to come to an under-standing
with me," he mused. "She
will offer me the fees ; it's only the
fame she seeks. Does she expect to
bribe me to silence ?"
The decision he had come to was
simply to hold his tongue, not even to
write and reproach her. But he could
not deny himself the interview offer-ed,
and the habitual phlegm of the
Englishman stood him in such good
stead that when he stood before the
lady his face betrayed nothing of
what he had undergone ; he only look-ed
graver than usual.
" I haye news for you," she began.
" I can anticipate it. I heard Mr.
Kellet last night expatiating on the
merits of 'Lord Talbot.' I congratu-late
you."
His manner seemed to puzzle the
lady. She glanced shrewdly at him.
I think you may," she answered
shortly.
"On a double triumph," he went on
"first, in getting Roy Kellet to read
the play, secondly, in getting him to
believe you wrote i t ."
"Mr. Braithwaite!"
"Oh, don't be alarmed. I shall
make no effort to dispute your claim.
For one thing, I should not be be-lieved.
So you are quite safe."
Do you think I want to rob you of
the play ?" she cried, strangely agitat-ed.
"But you have. You told him you
wrote it. I heard h im .say so !"
"You suspected me of t h a t ! Oh,
how could you ?"
Shand looked his bewilderment.
"You great stupid!" she cried
wrathfully. "Listen. When I told
Mr. Kellet I had a play, written by a
friend, I wanted him to read, he re-fused
point blank. He said he was
weary of reading plays by unknown
people. So on the inspiration of the
moment, knowing there was no au-thor's
name to it, I said I wrote it.
This interested him in it, as he ad-mired
me, so he read it and was de-lighted
with it. He wrote yesterday
to say so, and I replied, telling him
the truth, and here is his answer. He
grumbles at my woman's trick, as he
calls it, but will produce the play im-mediately
and says it's bound to suc-ceed."
"Forgive me," muttered Shand. "I
heard h im say it was your play. What
was I to t h i n k ? You had said you en-vied
me 'Lord Talbot,' and as circum-stances
befel it was so easy—''
He broke off. Her face told h im so
plainly how hurt she was at having
been misunderstood that his lame
apologies were futile.
" I l o v e y o u , " he said, hoarsely. "You
must have seen that, and I was begin-ning
to hope you cared for me a little,
utterly obscure as I am ; and then I
found, as it seemed, that your encour-agement
of me was simply to rob me
of my play. I have suffered tortures,
so if I've hurt you, you are amply
avenged."
" I should like," said Mrs. Cayley-
Rivers slowly, "to tell you to go away
and never let me see you again." She
paused, and added, with an unmistak-able
blush, "But that would be cutting
off my nose to sp* ite* m*y face !"
" I don't deny it's a good place," ac-knowledged
Peterkin six months later,
"but I 'm going, Mrs. Shand Braith-waite.
Can you look out for another
butler?" '
" I wouldn't," said Susan. "Look
what a success 'Lord Talbot' is. Seats
booked three months ahead and every
one saying Mr. Braithwaite is the com-ing
man. You mark me, Mr. Peterkin,
they'll make him a baronet or at least
a knight, and she'll be my lady yet."
So Peterkin stayed.

If the Truth is Sought.
If the truth is honestly and earnestly
sought, there is always something to be
gained by a discussion of subjects per-taining
to the welfare of mankind
That fact alone justifies the assembling
of such bodies as the Evangelical Alli-ance
and others of like character and
purpose, with a view of considering im-portant
moral and religious subjects. If
the truth is sought, good is sure to re-sult
from such gathering, but there can
be no good result unless that condition
is met. That condition, however, is
not met when learned men, or those
who desire to be honored as such, meet
to promulgate their own pet theories on
various subjects. The world is little
the better for t h e pet theories of men.
What the world needs most and has
a right to demand, is the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but t h e truth.
The t r u th has the power to uplift man-kind,
and those who would help their
fellow-men must familiarize themselves
with the truth; and when we say truth
we mean the real article, such as not al-ways
has been labeled as such by tra-dition
and superstition. Let the truth
be sought, then discussion will be pro-fitable,
not only to those participating
therein but even to all t h e world.

Italian literature.
Some one or other has taken up the
thorough study of the literature of the
prominent language of the world and
made them accessible to the American
public, but there has been one exeption.
No one, thoroughly acquainted with
Italian literature, has ever taken up the
rich products of the intellectual minds
of this interesting people, till Miss Flor-ence
Trail, of Frederick, Md., set her-self
to the work, some seven or more
years ago. She has at last accomplished
the task in a way that will be a delight
to the entire literary public of the
United States. " The History of Italian
Literature," just published by her, will
become a work most welcome to teach-ers
as a handbook and textbook alike.
Miss Trail has written in a way that
both her sympathy and discrimination
are refreshing and inspiring to the
reader.

Many a man who insists that there is

If love and lovers are so interesting,
why does a novelist invariably have to
depend upon his other characters for all
the bright talk and sanity generally ?
The earnestness with which some
people advise next door neighbors to
send their children out of town for their
health leads one to wonder whose
health.
Persons who have enough sense to go

resent the ease and success with which
many who have not this useful sense
get along.

Farmer Jacob Stufflet, near Steins-ville,
was saved from being gored to
death under the tusks of two furious
hogs by his bulldog rushing into the
pen. He had just slaughtered the third
hog, and the other two grew desperate.
Enraged because he had been com-mitted
to the city lockup at York,
Frank Kelley, aged 62 years, attempted
to burn down the place by setting fire
to the wainscoting above his cell. He
would in all probability have been suf-focated
had not Officer Mowery arrived
with another prisoner. The cell was
black with smoke, and Kelly was yell-ing
for all he was worth.

Are you growing more attractive as yoa

"Given a healthy body," says Dr. E. V.
Pierce, the special-
Roman's dis-eases,
of Buffalo,
jf , N. Y., "and a
Ar** m healthy mind, and
1 everyone can. culti-vate
and enjoy hap-piness."
We must eat
properly and di-gest
well to be
beautiful. It is a
fact that any form
of dyspepsia may
in a few days trans-form
a clear, white
skin into a mass of
pimples and black
spots. A beautiful
woman has the
beauty of her stom-ach.
Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical
Discovery main-tains
a person's nutrition by enabling one
to eat, retain, digest and assimilate the
proper nutritious food. It overcomes the
gastric irritability and symptoms of indi-gestion,
and thus the person is saved from
those symptoms of fever, night-sweats,
headache, etc., which are so common. A
tonic made up largely of alcohol will
shrink the corpuscles of the blood and
make them weaker for resistance.
«This is to certify that I have used Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, think it's
the grandest medicine in the world," writes Mrs.
V. M. Voung, of Weir, W. Va. «1 had dyspepsia
In its worst form. I decided to try your med-icine.''
I used five bottles, and now I am doing
my own housework. A number of my friends
also are using Dr. Pierce's medicine and they
recommend it highly. May God bless you m
your grand work."
Dr. Pierce believes that a tonic made with
alcohol will shrink the red blood corpuscles
and make the system weak for resistance;
that is why he avoided the use of any alco-hol
or narcotics in his "Medical Discovery,"
which contains the pure extract from roots
and herbs without a particle of alcohol.
Accept no substitute for "Golden Medical
Discovery." There is nothing "just as
good" for dyspepsia or debility.
Biliousness is cured by the use of Dr.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
