Love's Second Degree
-
By D. H.
(Copyright, 1931. by
This is a bit of plain history, and
the reader whose mental appetite
craves adventures flavored with the es
sence of heroism and self-sacrifice will
rave himself disappointment by pass
ing it by. It is, it may be said, the
plainest of plain history.
John Delwin, the hero, is a man
who sells, groceries. Formerly he was
an ordinary boy of numerous freckles,
ther. a delivery clerk in the village
store of which he was later part owner.
His life, so far as his acquaintances!
cm judge, has been a psalm from the
leginning.
When he married Emma Minkler he
wore the customary black, and the
bride was attired in the customary
white, and congratulations upon the
happy event were many and sincere,
just as the village newspaper said. So
far as i3 known no hearts were broken
or even bruised in the case. John
had no rivals. Nor had Emma. He
wanted a good sensible wife. . She
wanted a good sensible husband. They
were married. Everybody was satis
fied. Theirs was the most commonplace
of courtings. He escorted her home
from church one nieht. and they
stood for a time at the front gate
while the little god of love performed
his duty. They did not realize the
solemnity of the occasion, otherwise
Le would have talked less fluently of
batter and eggs, and she would have
subdued her references to the starch
ing and ironing of shirts.
It was fate.
John said to himself that there was
a girl who was practical, a girl well
calculated to comfort a man who
worked for his daily bread. Emma
said to herself (mark the coincidence)
that here was a man who was prac
tical, a man who wasted his brain tis
sue with no trivial subjects of thought.
And from that moment the compact
between them was virtually sealed.
A year passed before he asked her
to share his fortunes. Scarcely an
rnstant passed before he received his
answer. He kissed her then, and they
were very happy.
"John," said she. as they parted that
night, "engaged couples are different
from unengaged ones. Come and see
me often, John, for I shall be lone
some without you. Come Monday.
Tuesday and the ether days."
"I'll do !t." said John, trying to re
member a couplet he had laboriously
committed to memory; "I"l 1TI do
t.,f
"Do." said she.
"O, I will," said he.
Thus it came about that whenever
business was a bit slack in the store
John girded up bis apron, which bore
a saleratus brand upon its bib, and
went forth to call briefly upon Emma.
A.nd he never failed to find her busy
with household work, her round white
arms bared to the elbows, her fingers
nftea bedecked with dabs of dough,
ber face flushed by the heat or the
kitchen fire. And he said to himself
fervently, in much the same spirit that
characterizes the stock burst of grati
de in the more thrilling of love
tales. "What a prize I've won! What
girl she is! O my!" And he walked
upon air in hi3 leaden deliberate way
straight to the wedding day.
Emma was not beautiful. She was
net witty. She possessed not those
qualities which throughout the pages
jI a questionable literature have made
woman at once the despair and joy
nf the masculine heart. John under
stood this and gloried in it. He him
self had not been a success at holding
:ip one end cf even a five minutes'
r-onversation with the more dashing of
.'he girls who attended the church so
ials. He rather feared these girls.
He was never able to quite free hini
uelf from the suspicion that they were
making fun of him. He pitied the
brilliant youug chaps whom they mar
ried. And it was so also with Emma. The
brilliant young chaps adjective used
in the purely complimentary sense
voted her dead dull without a dissent
ng voice. They said she was a cheese,
whatever that may be in the human
,'orm. She was utterly without power
.o set the strings of the gilded male

cer sensible solid way. declaring that
;he hoped the Iord would have mercy
-What a prize I've won!
jn the poor creatures that married
;hem with the emphasis strongly on
.e l ronoun.
So she was married to John, and
John as married to her, and. as has
oeen statew, everybody was satisfied.
Another year passed, during which
John builded a square dwelling with
no ronsense about it, and set a row of
hard n.aples along the front walk, and
purchased a cow. Then he bought a
simple wicker perambulator and
opened a ledger account with the lead
ing doctor.
Life for the blissful couple was on in
real earnest, and life in real earnest
is a pretty serious matter.
I; was then that the covering of the
ideals began to loosen in places and
fall off. By the end of one more year
the process wa3 complete. John
growled at the cost of living. Emma
neglected her back hair. He discov
ered with a shock that the cooking

was badly dene and that the house was
badly kept. He uttered a hoarse note
of complaiDt, and was momentarily
paralyzed by the sight of Emma shed
ding great soaking tears. He had
thought her superior to such petty
weakness.
Matters did not improve during the
nest year. They unimproved. John's
business affairs went wrong. It was
the year cf panic, and collections were
dilheult to make. Instinct prevented
him from groaning in the market
place, hence he brought his groans
home and discharged them in an av
alanche at his wife.
Then John failed. He came heme
one night, and sat for a long time be
neath a cobweb in a corner of the
sitting room, staring with wide unsee
ing eyes at the picture of Garfield upon
the wall, saying nothing, heedless of
the food upon the table.
Emms sat In the kitchen, rocking

ceaselessly, the:r child csleep in her
arms. She knew what had happened.
A glance at John had told her all she
cared to be told.
So tiie minutes became hours, and
the fire died out, and a chill came into
the air. The clock struck nine.. John
spoke.
"Em," said he, "it's all over."
"I knew it," she returned,
are you going to do about it?"
"I den't know." he replied,

cried. "You say that? I reckon, mad

should think you'd be ashamed of
yourself this minute sitting there on
that iioor that hain't been swept for
a week! Did ycu think I wouldn't find
you out.' O. ymi deceiver you!"
He arose to Lis feet, excitedly pacing
from one room to the other; then
paused, an expression of surprise and
tjewildorment in his eyes, for Emma
was smiling at him through tears.
"John," bhe demanded, quietly, "who
told you that?"
"I overheard your pa telling Squire
Wigliam," he said, "and they seemed
to think 'twas the best joke ever was.
But it hurt me fearful and roiled me
up. You've no idea how it roiled me
up. Em!"
"Yes, I have, John." said she.
"Mercy! Do you think I'm blind and

any trouble till baby came, and then
I didn't have time nor st -ength to do
it, and you couldn't afford to hire help,
and you wouldn't tell me why, and
and O. John!"
She placed the child In its cradle,
and with deliberate impulsiveness
threw her arms about John's neck.
His arm slowly wound itself about
her waist.
"We're just as foolish as as the
fools. John," she sobbed.
"Fooler," declared he. decidedly. "I
hain't given you a fair shake, Em. I'm
going to be different."
They were silent for an interval
an Interval of close, wordless com
munion such as in the popular love
tales precedes the marital state, but
never accompanies it. Emma broke
the silence at last with a whisper.
"John, I'm awful sorry about tbe
store."
"Don't you worry about that." said
John. "I'm no worse off than lots cf
others. It don't fret me a mite not

Then he turned tip the lamp and re
kindled the fire and drew the curtains,
and they sat down comfortably with
beaming faces to tea and muffins just
as the clock struck ten.
i a me keeper Tip S350.
The position of head gamekeeper to
an English country gentleman who
habitually has shooting parties is a
most valuable one. for even the most
humble of the invited guests is ex
pected to leave a very substantial tip
with the outdoor servant in question.
In all cases where the visit extends to
a week or more, the head gamekeeper
expects, and generally receives, a tip
of from i'3 to 50, and it is very
doubtful whether any sum lees than a
sovereign would be acknowledged with

JERUSALEM'S P.'-'IMa.
The Remain or t Mediaeval Church
Discovered.
The Greek Catholic monks, who art
in possession of the chief portion ol
the church of the Holy Sepulcher, are
now going to build a bazaar opposite
it, where pilgrims may purchase sou
venirs of their visit to Jerusalem. Dur
ing the process cf clearing the site
the foundations of an old medieval
church, forty meters long and thirty
wide, with three apses, were discov
ered. A number of fine capitals, frag
ments of basalt pillars and bas-relieTs.
with symbolic animals, were found, all
these remains having, doubtless, be
longed to the choir of the church. Last
year a valuable silver shrine, contain
ing a piece of the holy cross and relics
of the Apostles Peter and Paul ac
cording, at least, to the inscriptions
on them was discovered at the same
place. The patriarch of Jerusalem, it
is said, is keeping other discoveries se
cret, owing to his dislike of the Ro
man Catholic church. Those men
tioned above are all the more impor
tant as it can be ascertained to what
church they belonged. According to
the statement of a medieval traveler,
the hospice and the monastery, which
the citizens of Am-ilfi founded about
the year 640, as a refuge for Western
pilgrims, was situated due south of the
Holy Sepulcher, about a stone's throw
away. The first church was built in
honor of St. Mary de Latins, and the
fecend. the ruins of which have now
been found, in honor cf St. John the
Baptist. The French monk Bernard,
who lived there in 870. highly praised
the hospitality and the large library of
the hospice. A Mohammedan histo
rian says it was destroyed by the
Ktalif Hakem and rebuilt shortly aft
erward; while, according to another
account, it prospered down to the time
of King Baldwin of Jerusalem, from
1100 to 111S. when the two communi
ties of St. Mary and St. John adopted
the latter as their joint protector. This
was the origin of the Knights of St.
John. The remains now discovered,
therefore, are the ruins of the cradle
of this order. It is most unfortunate
that the preservation of these very in
teresting remains seems impossible,
owing to the ill feeling which exists
between the Greek and Roman Cath
olics in Jerusalem. London Standard.
LINCOLN AND 'SWEAT-BOX.
Charaet eristic t-weeping; Order by the
Great War President.
On one of Mr. Lincoln's excursions
to Fortress Monroe, on the steamei
Hartford, in 16C3. his attention was di
rected to a narrow door, bound with
iron, the use of which he was anxious
to learn. Taking off his hat, for he
was several inches over six feet in
height. be entered the enclosure
which he found to be little more than
three feet in length or wicfth. He gave
orders that at a signal from himseli
the door should be immediately
opened. It was then closed and the
Fteam turned on. He had been inside
hardly three minutes before the signal
was given. President Lincoln had ex
perienced enough of what was then re
garded as r,crr:--:ary . ju&Bhjx.ent fs-r
American seamen. There was very lit
tle ventilation, and the short exposure
to the bet and humid air had almost
suffocated him. Turning to Secretary
Welles of the navy department, the
President ordered that no such en
closure as the sweat-box should ever
after be allowed on any vessel flying
the American flag. It was not an hour
after this order had been given before
every sailor on every ship in Hampton
Roads had heard of it. The effect was
most remarkable on the older sailors
many of whom had themselves expe
rienced the punishment of the sweat
box. Some of them wept from joy.
But the good results of this act oi
President Lincoln were not confined tu
the American navy. Great Britain.
France. Germany and other European
countries heard that the sweat-box had
been abolished in America as inhu
man. One and all of these nations in
turn fell into line, and to-day the
sweat-box is not to be found on any
vessel flying the flag of a civilized na
tion throughout the world.
Nanticul Heir Apparent.
British service papers have noted
that the Prince of Wales is the first
heir apparent to the British crown to
hold an actual commission in the
navy, the senior service on their side
of the water. Hitherto the heir appar
ent has been put into the army, and
any naval rank he may have held has
been purely honorary. The same rule
was followed in the case of the sons of
the present king; Prince Edward was
made a soldier, and died while major
in a hussar regiment: Prince George
was made a sailor, and has command
ed his own ship on a" regular cruise.
Now, by the death of hi3 elder brother,
he becomes Prince of Wales, the first
of the line to be a sailor. Hitherto he
has been promoted rapidly, but with a
decent period of service in each rank,
until he now holds the commission of
a captain. Hereafter his promotion
will be honorary, as it will no longer
be advisable for the heir to the crown
to go to sea in command of a fleet or
to take the risks of a naval officer.

WEARING THE SWORD
EMBLEM OF AUTHORITY SANCTION
ED Br THE AGES.
Military Pomp and Glory Would
Amount to Little Without That Adorn
ment Called the Silent Teacher of
Patriotism.
For centuries, in armie3, the sword
has been the emblem of authority. It
is a sign that the man wearing it is an
officer and is on duty. The figures on
his straps or his collar may show the
grade of Lis office, but the sword shows
without his telling it that he is on duty
and represents authority. Having the
sanction of hundreds of years as the
emblem of authority, what substitute
could be adopted to show that an offi
cer is on duty? The patrolman has a
club, which shows that he is on duty
would such a badge be less cumber
some than the sord for a military
officer?
There is reason to believe that foi
years to come the emblems of visible
authority like the sword will be need
ed. Every year legislatures are devis
ing schemes to keep up a well-disci
plined militia, but who of those having
experience wouid think of discipline
and soldierly conduct without the
sword-bearing officer? Even the en
listed man who refers to his officer's
sword as a "toad-stabber" will appeal
to be no soldier upon examination
Who would accept a commission oi
who would go to the expense of pur
chasing a resplendent suit of military
clothing and equipment if the sword
should be abolished? In such an eveni
that marvel of gold late and cocket!
hat, known as the governor's Etaff
might be mistaken for an over-dres-sec
battalion of privates if their loiiu
were not begirt with the authorizing
sword.
From the earliest period of which
there is record the sword has been the
synonym of authority and power. It
was "a flaming sword which turned
every way" that kept man from steal
ing back to the useless life of the Gar
den of Eden; it was the cry of "the
sword of the Lord and of Gideon"
which made the army of 300 victorious.
The man wearing the sword has been
the leader in the struggle for free
dom. The sword is everywhere associated
with robust patriotism. It is "the sword
of Bunker Hill" that, in the song of
that name, rouses the spirit of patriot
ism. Si.bstitHte fcr the sword any other
emblem of authority, the billy, for in
stance, and what would become of the
soul-stirring song. In thousands of
hemes, north and south, can be found,
hanging in some conspicuous place, a
rusty old sword. It is the mute witness
of a four years' struggle over a prin
ciple. Grandfathers tell grandchildren
where that rusty old sword has been,
and what the wearer saw, and of the
deeds of which he was a part. It will
lerr.ain for eiierntions to come the
silent teacher of patriotism.
INDIAN PRMRIE DOS HUNTS.
These Little Anlms'.s Deemel a Ualnty
Iish by the Navajo.
Denver. Dec. IS. The Navajo Indian,
while he cannot be prevailed upon to
eat a rabbit, is greedily fond of fat
prairie dogs. Large communities of
these small animals abound on the
western piains. and the Navajo has re
sorted to many ingenious methods for
trapping his coveted dainty. One of
them is by the aid of a bit of mirror
placed at the entrance of a burrow.
When the animal ventures from his
bedroom, deep under ground, he sees
a familiar image mocking him at the
I front door and he hurries out to con-
front the impudent intruder, when he
: is pinned to the ground with an arrow.
But the most effective method is what
the Indians call the rain hunt. As soon
as the steady downpour of summer
rains begins every Navajo who can
walk repairs to the prairie dog village
with hoes, sharp sticks, or any digging
Implement. With these th?y hollow
out trenches that will lead the storm
water into as many burrows as possi
ble. Soon a little stream is pouring
down each small home and the inmate,
much disturbed, pops out to see what
the matter can be. Many of the ani
mals remain under ground until they
are drowned and their bodies float to
the surface.
After such a hunt, in which many
pounds of prairie dogs are generally
secured, there is a feast for many days
in the Navajo huts.
That Was the rtfTereiie-.
"Yes. that is where he made a mis
take." said McLean, referring to the
latest act of stupidity on the part of
McFarlane. " I don't call such an ac
tion as that a mistake," replied old
Cormack dictatorial!)-; "I call it a
blunder. "Well, it s all the same
thing," returned McLean. "Na, you're
wrong there," was Cormack's reply;
"there's a gooi of difference be
tween a blundK1.- 3iJ a mistake." "I
should like to know what it is, an
swered McLean skeptically. "Well
suppose you went to call on sonv
friend, put an old umbrella into the
stand, and took away a new one when
you left, that would be a mistake; but
suppose you put down a new one and
brought away an old one, that would
be a blunder, d'ye see?" McLean ad
mitted that there was a difference after
all. From Tit-Bits.
Royalty Eipert with a Rifle.
Quite a number of royal ladies are
adepts with the rifle. One of these is
Portugal's plucky queen, who recently
received the German melEl for saving
life. Her majesty is a keen sports
woman, and can handle her gun with a
precision which is positively deadly.
Queen Helena of Italy is another clev
er shot. She spends most of her time
in her pretty little hunting lodge in
the island of Monte Cristo, and is as
clever with the resvolver as with the
rifle. The Duchess Carl-Theodore of
Bavaria and ber sister, the Archduch
ess Carl-Ludwig, the Grand Duchess
of Luxembourg, and the Grand Diu ii
esB of Kesse are others who can h-..Il
their own with the gun. Our own
queen and her daughters prefer the
rod to the gun and may be regarded as
expert fisherwomen.
