THE SPIRIT of
CHANGE
Tho calm stars looking on men see all
Asplro to power or wealth or fame;
And each ono comes nt tho Spirit's call,
Through paths of pcaco or by roads of flame.
Tho great town's treadmill servants dream
So dear God lightens their want and gloom
Of joys that beckon by sunlit stream,
In whispering fields and orchard bloom.
The young man hears, In forest or farm,
Tho Spirit's challenge and hotly frowns;
Then wood and meadow have lost their charm
Mo pits his powers against tho town's.
To men grown wenry of age-old wrongs,
In king-ridden lands past far-down seas,
Tho Spirit speaks in fiery songs
That smlto and Bhatter unjust decrees.
West,' west nnd always westward pour
Tho lean horses sired In alien hives
An endloss surge through Freedom's door:
They sow tho desert, and lo, It thrives!
A strong raco heaping their riches high,
Lords of a continent, land nnd tide,
Leap into regiments, hearing tho cry
Of Progress fighting on earth's far side.
So hatreds perish; so peoples mergo;
So Truth has ever a newer birth;
While strong men moved by tho Spirit's urge
Spread Lovo's Republic over tho earth.

The Choice of Gephetua.
BY KATE M. CLEARY.
(Copyright, 1901, by Dally Story Tub. Co.)
"Shall you marry him, Leslie?"
"It's manners to wait to bo asked,"
returned Leslie.
"Hasn't ho nsked you?" persisted
Will Cable.
"That would bo telling," iLesllo
Marsh roplled.
Then sho laughed up at tho young
giant leaning over tho high back of a
colonial chair and regarding hor with
a look at onco quizzical and puzzled.
Ho was Just as gentle, as retiring, as
fihy as ever. And yet tho world had
grent things to say of his wisdom, his
Indomltablo pluck in tho face of dis
tressing obstacles, the lofty scientific
vnluo of his researches and discover
ies. Ho had been Interviewed and
luuded. Tho critics were unanimous
in his pralso. And hero ho was, back
in tho beloved, book-lined old room
whero they had quarreled as children
Just tho samo delightful fellow of
Ave years before.
"I suppose you know wo'ro awfully
proud of you, Will," sho said. She
had boon watching him dreamily, try
ing to fancy that powerful, cropped,
dark head adorned with tho Boft waves
of tho lad who used to bo bo careful
of hlB personal appearance when ho
was homo from collego on his vaca
tions. "I koop telling people what
great friends wo woro when wo were
young. I don't say a word about the
torture you mado me suffer when you
kidnaped my doll."
"You may not happen to remember
either, your rovengo for that injury!"
"Oh, I do!" sho cried, and laughed
out. "Indeed I do! You were taking

Cnrrlago wheols had stopped before
thedoor. They could hear the servant
crossing tho hall. "Mr. Reginald Ray

Mr. Raymon, bland and placid,
round-faced, round-eyed, hat In hand
and monocle In eye, mado his appear

Marsh ready? Ho had been assured
tho first act was unusually strong.

sure! Ho had heard of Mr. Cablo.
Quite pleased to meot him! Was this
Miss Marsh's cloak? Would she por-

mlt him? Good evening, Mr. Cablo!
Then Miss Marsh had taken up her
bouquet, had gathered around her tho
folds of her opera wrap of old-roso
panne velvet, had sent a sweet, swift,
mocking look at Cablo standing desert
ed and was gone.
B,ut, although she heartily enjoyed
the gay comedy to which they went,
oho had no faintest idea of the comedy
In which sho played a wholly uncon
scious part. How could she dream that
Reginald Raymon had finally decided
to bestow upon her tho inestimable
honor of his favor?
Ho was making no rash decision.
Ho repeatedly strengthened his heart
by this reassurance whllo they drove
to tho theatre, while ho sat by her side
at tho play was her viB-a-vls at sup
per. Her family was ono of not only
social but Intellectual pre-eminence.
Her father had been twlco senator from
his state. Her brother had held a high
diplomatic post abroad. Their friends
were of the most exclusive. Their ac
qualntances were those of tho cultured
the nrtlstlc world. To be sure, the
Marshes had no money to spare. But
what was money to him? And when It
camo to grace; and wit, and distinc
tion, and beauty, and above all, that
exquisite, Indefinable possession we call
breeding there was not a girl In tho
stato who might be mentioned In the
same breath with her no, by Georgo!
not one! And ho would marry her
ho would! He'd toll her bo this very
night.
He turned to study her again and
with pulses that quickened as he look
ed. Faultless of form, graceful as only
a beautiful woman nnd n tigress can
be with features perfect as those cut
on tho silver coins of Syracuse, sho
was worth tho incense of men's hom
ageworthy tho qulto as precious glory
of woman's Jealousy! There was Just
a glimpse of creamy Mesh through tho
meshes of Mechlin at arms rvnd bosom
Tho eyes that looked out from under
long, whtto lids had tho laughing lovo
llncss of a child's. One fancied tho
full scarlet lips could bo as scornful as
they were sensitive ns passlonato as
they wero sweet. And thoso who know
Lcsllo Mnrsh know tho warmth hor
proud heart held, the brilliance her
brnln harbored, tho gentleness which
wns ns much a part of her dlvlno
power ns her beauty Itself! Yes, ho
was making a perfectly proper choice.
Would sho bo overwhelmed to bo se
lected as tho brldo of n millionaire?
To havo n palace at Nowport, n town
house In Loudon 7 There was a charm
ing old mansion on a blue Scottish
moor ho would buy for hor If sho fan
cied a sojourn in tho land of tho
heathor. As for Jewels ho smllod
again there. All women loved Jewels.
How many men could offer to tho
chosen companion of his Hfo Buch raro
goms as ho?
But, whllo ho found himself, tho en
vied of all men, sailing besldo her
down tho Adriatic ho had almost
fixed on tho Adriatic for their wod
dlng trip ho usod his language as tho
sapient Frenchman divined to con
coal his thoughts.
"That Mr. Cablo seems a flno sort
of a fellow. No end of talk about
him at tho clubs. Ho Is the Hon of
tho hour, they say."
"Oh, wo qulto claim Mr. Cablo at our
houso! His evory honor Is a personal
triumph for us."
"So good of you to say so!" Raymon
was nothing if not complacent. "Ho
ought to bo very much flattered!"
A queer llttlo look flashed at him
from under the curling dark lashos.
"It is wo who aro flattered, Mr. Ray
mon!"
His laugh was lcnloncy Itself.
"Tho extent of your charity Is only
being revealed to mo! I wonder If I
may If I micht plead for mercy for
myself!"
They wero driving slowly homeward
through tho silence, tho crlBpncss, tho
blueness of a perfect February night
'You! What could tho gods glvo you
that you havo not7"
Ho was conscious of tho tremor that
went through tho slight frame. A
senso of his supremacy shook him. Ho
had been right then! All his golden
anticipations wero to bo realized. Not
that ho had doubted for a moment
that any girl In her right mind would
refuse him Reginald Raymon! His
arm slipped confidently around hor
waist.
"Tho gods could glvo mo nothing
unless you woro theire to glvo!"
"Ah!" sho said softly. Sho moved a
llttlo until sho was free from his arm.
"You you aro qulto suro "
That was Just whero Raymon'B bad
quarter of an hour began.
"Suro indeed, yes! I have not spok
en hastily. I havo given tho matter
a weighty ono as you will admit duo
consideration." Ho adjusted his
monocle. Ho wished the coachman
would drlvo moro slowly. "I recollect
of what I owe to my family, to my
position, to If I lnuy Bay so to my
self!" "Yes," sighed a tender voice, "Oh
yes!"
"And I have mado up my mind that
you aro tho only wonlan I shall marry
you!"
Ho could feel again tho tremor of
the slender shape near. Ho put out
a fat llttlo hand. His touch was not
tentative by any means. It was de
termined. Thcro was no falso mod
esty about Raymon. In tho gloom of
tho cnrrlago ho almost forgot tho
charm, tho beauty, tho power of tho
girl. All these wero engulfed in his
own superb condescension a con
descenlon of which sho was awaro!
Her choking volco when sho spoko
proved that.
"And I have decided It Is you you
whom I havo chosen for my wlfo!"
"You havo " How overwhelmed
sho wns! "not spoken rashly?"
"My mind," ho declared heroically,
Is Irrevocably mado up!"
"You aro auro you will not re-
grot"
He cut short tho faltering voice.
"Your timidity is uncalled for, dear, I
novor change my mind. When shall
K bo? confound that coachman!"
The carriage door swung back. Ray
mon walked with Miss Marsh up the
steps.
"Don't come In!" sho ontreated
sweetly. "I havo an engagement. And
I'm very sorry you know and very
grateful for tho honor of course, but
I couldn't caro for you that way.
Thank you over so much! Tako care!
A front has fallen! Tho stops aro qulto
slippery. I'vo had a most enjoyable
oYcnlng. Oood-nlght good-night! "
Then, her cheeks scarlet, her lips
apart, and breathing hard sho was In
tho library was facing a man who
had risen from his low chair in tho
light of tho dying flro.
"Well?" ho questioned hoarsely. Ho
camo slowly towards her. "Well? Ho
proposed tonight. I knew ho would.
Get It over, for God's sake! When Is
It to bo? When aro you to give your
self your sweot self to any man's
arms?"
Sho went straight towards him. Hor
color had suddenly gone. She wns
white as tho roses sho carried. And
her cheeks wero wet nnd shining in

"Whonovcr you will tako me!" sho
said.

of thing, but thoro nro fow, lf.nny, of

MAKING CHARITY MARMALADE.
A. Very Bacceufal lluilnrm That I Car
ried On by Women.
Tho roduced gentlewoman who sells
Jollies and Jams for her own benefit Is
a familiar flguro in tho commercial
world. Tho big and llttlo grocers tako
her wares and tho "Invalid delicacy"
establishments chnrgo fancy prices for
them. Tho gcntlowoman who makes
marmalado for charity Is a different
person, but her success has been bo
encouraging financially that women at
their wits' end to know what to do for
church fairs and vlllago libraries nnd
othor worthy objects may tako n leaf
from tho rcclpo book of this phllan
throplc business worann. Eight year
ngo Miss Watson, a young woman In
terested in church work in a country
town, suggested to a few of her follow
workers .that they make Bomo mnrmn
lado for sale, giving tho proceeds to
tho parochial charities of tho vlllago,
says tho Now York Commorclnl Ad
vortlsor. Tho Idea mot with favor and
tho good church women started to
work in a buslness-llko, practical man'
nor. They know how to mako mnrmn
lado. They wero buslness-llko nnd prac
tlcal and they had oxccutlvo ability.
That year 117 pounds of marmalado
wero sold, and after all expenses wero
paid thoro remained $6.75 profit. Tho
following year botli sale and profit
nearly doubled. Tho accounts for 1900
show a salo upward of 18,000 pounds.
Tho benefits of tho manufacture woro
quickly oxtended to other charltlos, a
largo number of which now rocolvo
contributions from tho funds thus
raised, which aro dovoted entirely to
charltablo purposes. Tho work Is car
rled on upon strictly business linos.
Several cottages hnvo bcon rented ns a
"factory," and tho village girls find
work in this new Industry. Tho mar
malado Is daintily put up, with orna
mental labels, and Is, of course, as
good as its ralson d'otro, or It would
never havo sold so well and for so long
a time.
Vienna'! Club of the Divorced.
Vienna has a now society which
should rouso soma American cities to
noble emulation. No woman not di
vorced is ollglblo to membership, but
thoro Is nothing frivolous about tho or
ganlzatlon. It Is to bo called tho Hu
manity club, and Its bndgo Is a silver
ring, engraved with that word, and
worn on tho wedding ring linger. Tho
appropriateness of tho name seems a
triflo occult; but, presumably, a dlvorc
ed woman has moro troubles of hor
own, In Austria, than hero and needs
moral support. Tho idea of a band of
divorced women meeting wookly "for
mutual entertainment and support"
will probably strlko tho avorngo Am
erlcan citizen as distinctly humorous;
but It Is a serious matter In Vienna
and tbo club proposes building for
Itself a permanent homo. Now York

Sewed Up for the Wlnlor.
This Is a truo story, and It was told
to tho roportor by a prominent worker
In ono of tho east bUIo settlements. Tho
othor day a woman living In Rlvlngton
streot brought her llttlo boy to tho set
tlement houso and expressed a dcslro
to havo him enter tho kindergarten
Tho child had a bright faco, but It
was woofully dirty, nnd ono of tho set
tlement rules is that all pupils must
present at least a clean oxterlor. So
the teacher looked at tho llttlo boy and
said; "Why, certainly ho can como to
tho kindergarten, but wo want all th
children to bo clean. Glvo him a good
bath tonight nnd send him to us in tho
morning." "Bath," gasped tho mother.
"How can I batho him? I'vo sowed

No Arabian vIsHiary ever fancied
so remarkablo n birthplace for mil

stead, wrltca Douglass Storoy, tho
English correspondent. Nestling Into
tha Monongnhcla, on tho flat ground
by tho river, by dny they nro marked
by a cloud of smoke, at night by n
dozen pillars of fire. No man ap
proaching the hamlet of sheds can scu
thoro only tho crude outlines of n steel
factory. It Is tho laboratory of an al
chemist whero grent hills of broken
earth and hu go heaps of scrap Iron nro
transmuted Into gold nnd old-ago pen
sions, into freo libraries and art gal
leries. Everywhere thoro Is tho sonso
of great, mysterious power laboring to
equip tho most generous of modern
millionaires. Human agency seems
inadequate to effect tho marvels of tho
mills, to mnnlpulato tho bubbling ma
terials, to lnterfero with tho flcrco fur
naces nnd fiery forces of tho fnctorles.
To touch an electric button that re
leases a forco of 15,000 tons is easier
nnd moro miraculous In Its results
thnn tho rubbing of any Arabian
lamp. Yet everything hero Is con
trolled by tiny lovers and buttons n
woman or a child might manngo. Op-
poslto to a roaring furnaco a llttlo
train of Iron trucks Is Btnndlng. To It
comes noiselessly, mysteriously, a
great engine that reaches forth a
brawny Iron arm, grips up ono of tho
trucks, nnd thrusts It Into tho furnace.
Backward nnd forwnrd over tho glow
ing conls tho big Iron carries the truck
until It finds tho hottest corner. Then,
turning tho truck, empties Its load of
pig Iron, shavings, limestone or coke,
shakes It and carries It gently to tho
waiting string of wagons. Thcro Is no
fuss of men, no anxious couplings nnd
uncoupllngs. Then cnglno hns done
all Its work unaided, save for a slnglo
man, who sits within, fingering n little
sheaf of lovors. Somo timo later ono
returns to tho furnaco nnd, gazing
with bltto spectacles through tho peep
holo, sees tho poppling, sputtering
devil's porridge within. In time tho
door will bo oponcd nnd tho boiling
motnl bo run oft Into groat caldrons
hungrily -waiting In tho pit boncath.
In a Blnglo ono of theso open henrth
sheds nro 12 furnaces, each with Its
100 tonB of metal. Under ono'a foot,
on moving plntforms, pass slabs of
fizzing, scorching steel. When tho

opportunities for sensntlonal villainy,
such as novor yet has appeared bo

on a brldgo naked of fencing nnd tin
dcrnenth rnttles a block of red-hot
metal that would grill a man In a
twinkling. It Is on Its way to tho
rollers, and thcro Is a pressure which
would grind him to powder. Every
whoro nro furnaces nnd caldrons of In
cinerating metal, awful hydraulic
presses and silent, remorseless engines.
For tho man of molodrnmtlc Imnglnn

Tho hot steel gushed out, a violent

nnd on tho surfaco tho frothy cream

Whon tho vessel wns full tho clawB of,
a great electric crano woro fixed In Its

our heads, 50 tons of swolllng stool, I
mnrvoled at tho silent power of this
blrthplaco of wealth. If a stay should

hastily away from tho sinister vicinity
of tho swinging caldron. Sovon thou
