THE PRESENCE OF Ml t ] OF JOI1X BLUM
TtVlfttnoriTfte /Jw.
The tulxs that stuc otit of the wall nt
the right of the "jly editor's desk
emitted a long , hlgh iceyod , wnlllng note
of distress. At least it was distress to
'the mnn who hoard' 'R. Every day ho
threatened to havo''l6Ynothlng ' done by
way of having that eifnUklng tube fixed ,
so it wouldn't glvoforth [ ; such bloodcurdling -
curdling wails , ami oypry day ho forgot
it , and so , every day Xjjr , sovcn or eight
year , ever so many times a day , the city
editor's < Bpino was traversed by cold
chills ] resultant from the shock of hearIng -
Ing the unholy cries of that spcakin ?
tube. Ono can't , one really can't ' got
used to some things.
Moreover , every time that screech
came It was the city editor's custom to
say "damn ! " briefly and pointedly , so
that It came to pass that when the volco
of the speaking tube was hoard every re
porter who was loafing In tlio city room
would shttrco his list'\vith ' avlmilctlvo
gesture nnd say "damn ! " under his
breath. Then they would grin at each
other as if something ; iew had happened
to tickle : them. It Is funny how the "old
marT ' " Idiosyncrasies amuse "tho boys. "
The "old man" answered the call at
the tube and then remarked , in a blunt ,
forcible : waj ho hadwhich always made
the .young man whoso name was spoken
nrop everything else and como to his
door in double quick tlmo :
(4 "
"Hornlckl"
"Ycsslrl" and Mr. Hornick , who was
a big , tall , good-natured , bland young
man , rose from his lounging position ,
took his pipe out of his mouth aim flow
to answer the summons.
"If Blunt comes In this afternoon , "
said the "old man , " -"toll him to go up
to Mr. Burnoy's olllcp at once. Mr. Bur-
noy wants to see him. "
"Ycssir , " and Mr. Ilornick returned
to the contemplation of smoke rings nnd
air castles.

The "Blunt" referred to was a certain
John : Blunt , who had attained moro or
loss ! celebrity as a producer of sketches ,
verso , "special stun" " and syndicate letters -
tori , nnd was employed on the Continent
as a i special writer for the Sunday edi
tloi and for certain emergencies. Ho
didn't do much work at tlic oilico , but
used to stroll into the city room almost
every day , throw his lengthy frame into
a chair , his foot on a desk , and swap
yarns with "tho boys , " who looked upon
him variously ( according to tito length
of time they Had done regular newspaper
work ) as a lazy , bright chap , who
might make a good reporter if ho
dropped his indolent ways and "hustled , "
or as an especially .fortunate follow who
had some roputatlon 'signod his stuff"
aud didn't have toilp , assignment nnd
hark to the call of thp'city editor or the
man at the desk. .
Blunt loafed In nbo ut 4 o'clock , which
was his usual hour for'appearing at the
olllce. ! Blunt had a.Vay of using the
time which was. peculiarly his own. Ho
would rise at noon , 9at } his breakfast at
tin time sensible persons take their
luncheon and "respectable" persons have
dinner , and then would drop in at his
club , whcro ho woiild while away the
ho of the aftornoqffs ono of the knot
of idlers who talked iit'pach other in the
sunny corner of tlio outh room , or
would join the smaller , more animated
"gambler's gang , " and1 indulge in stupid
wi or idiotic "freeze out" for two or
th hours. 'Thoh'Iio'3would drift'in at
various , .qfllcos VvhorTiPf ho _ sold , "stuff , "
visit a'fo'w ffilnutos' iff" each" th'on go' to
the Continent oln"cb , ' , sit at the desk of
hi friend Hornick and "swap lies , " as
hereinbefore stated , with the reporters.
Aftor'this , dinner ; after dinner , nicotine ;
then an opera or a play or'an evening
with , some friend or other : .then , last of
all. somtSwboro about midnight ho could
bo found In his don working , like a Tro
jan i , and this continued until about 4
o'clock a. in. All of which was a very
sensible arrangement , barring the fact
that it gained him the unenviable rep
utation of being lazy.
As I said , however , lie loafed into the
Continent's ( city rooui about 4 o'clock ,
fresh , smiling and dobonnairo , with hood
somewhat unoriginal remark' , addressed
to Hornick :
"Hullo , Dubs. "
"Hullo , Grub street , " answered the
gentleman addressed , with his usual
good-natured smile. "Alive ? Say , the /
old man wants you. "
"Mo ? What old man ? "
"Burnoy. Wants you right off , I bo-
liovo. Probably going to ask you boto
hold his job while ho goes to Hudson's
bay or somewhere. "
"Probahly. " assented Blunt , as ho
passed Into the hall.
"Mr. ah Blunt"said
, the managing
editor ( who knew Blunt's name well
enough , but was trying to bor
something his wife had told him to Ing
homo ) , "have a chair. "
Blunt sat down. The managing odl-

tor wheeled 'round and looked at him ,

"Mr. Blunt , you understand the work
thnt has been mapped out for yoi | to at
tend lo this fall ? Well , you will need
to start In fresh on thnt. I have been
thinking It ever , nnd have decided thnt
It wouldn't do you any harm to tuko n
little rest you see , I know how much
you work , whether others do or not.
Now , every man on this paper gets n
two-weeks' vacation every year , with
salnry for that tlmo paid In ndvanco. I
want you , Mr. Blunt , to drop all the
work you have on hand everything
nnd put in what is left of July , and the
month of August , at the summer resorts.
Your salary will bo paid now for that
time , and wo shall expect from you only
such letters as you may fool like sending
us preferably , ono breezy letter from
each place to which you mny happen to
go. That's all. Como in and see mo to
morrow when you got ready to leave.
The cashier will fix you for money and
transportation. "
Blunt murmured his surprised thanks ,
and stumbled out. Hnd the millennium
arrived , unheralded ? Ho stopped out
side nnd pinched himself , to make sure
thnt ho , John Blunt , grlndor-out of
"apodal stulT , " was nwnko nud unlnllu-
oneed by liquor. Then , very sensibly ,
ho decided that his souses bnd not de
ceived him , and ho went in and told
"Dubs" of the luck thnt had come his

sively , nnd was presently soon , in com

John Blunt chose Forest lake ns the
resort which ho would first fnvor with
his presence. Forest lake was not n
"popular" summer resort. This fact
was rather In its favor than otherwise ,
although there nro persons who might
not think so. , It hnppened to bo ono of
these small , quiet places of which few of
the rosort-KOing public ever hear , but
which are delightful in their very in
significance and oxcluslvoncss. . At
Forest lake ono was quite , quite certain
not to find the Hwoot-sconted dry goods
clerk or the ubiquitous , otherwise , en
tirely offensive dude. Only n few
families had cottages at Forest lake of
those , these who had no grandfathers
had enough money to make thorn for-
glvablo and but ono hotel existed , nnd
that ono was rather undersizedperfectly ,
kept , and very particular ns to whom it
sheltered.
So , naturally , Forest lake was quiet t ,
nnd thnt.was what John Blunt wanted.
Ho had a half-'dellnod plot for what
might prove to bo the long looked for
Great American Novel ; ho wanted quiet
In which to lot the aforesaid plot develop -
volop , and conceived that Forest lake :
would be just the plnco to help him out.
Ho was perfectly right , and his plans
might have worked beautifully had It
not been for one faet. At Forest lake ,
on the very night of his arrival , ho mot
Somebody ho Know. Now , ordinarily ,
this state of affairs is inconsequential.
Ono may , almost anywhere , meet someone
ono one has met elsewhere , but ono
usually feels privileged to shun him or
her somewhat after the interchange
of ordinary courtesies. In this case ,
however , it was different. The Some
body Involved was not a person , vho
'
could' , should or would bo passed by with
ho scant attontionst which ( Allah bo
praised ! ) It is our privilege , our inalien
' able God-given right to half bestow
'upon our follow beings who live and
broatho.dndjiavo their being for some
inscrutable reason , and who must ( for
they move about ) bomot , and associated
with.
This Somebody was a young woman
as most Somebodies who nro worth
iriootlng are apt to bo. She was not an
ordinary young woman , barring the
facts thnt she hud n good appetlto , ex
cellent digestion , n vulgarly healthy
complexion and the tendency to dress
well with which so many o'f those latter
dny girls of ours are alfectod. On the
other hand , she was entirely charming
and unusual. She was very , very
pretty there wna only one opinion on
that subject , at least among tlio men of
her acquaintance but she had brains.
She had , also , a wealthy , indulgent
papa , and an inclination , coupled with
the ability , to Write clover prose and
verso.
These bo incongruities yet , withal , in
combination delightful. Moreover , she
had had serious talks with Blunt about
things literary , had asked his advice
and greatest of all was ns much an
admirer of his work as was ono John
Blunt. Something of this Blunt had
learned from her at their first meeting ' ,
which occurred at a session of a club 'P.of
literary dilettantes to which both happened -
poned to bolong. Later , ho had heard
from a mutual friend of her high opinion
of his work , and had at once decided
that Miss Dovons was a young woman of
moro than average discrimination and
with very excellent taste in literary
matters. They had continued to meet
at the fortnightly sessions of the Parch
ment club and had succeeded Ihsbecom-
ing very good friends such good >
friends , indeed , that Blunt , who had the .
lack of appreciation of soclnl amenities
common to his kind , actually called upon
the young woman three times once
oven tearing hlm&elf away from the jolliest -
liest part of a "stag" dinner to do so.
Miss Dovonb was delighted to see him.
She llkod Blunt very much and , besides ,
young men rather shunned Forest lake
ns "stupid , " so the new corner was a de
cided acquisition. Unnco , before Blunt
hud had sufficient tlmo to find where ho
was ho had boon introduced to every
body , had danced with almost every
body and , at 112 o'clock midnight , sat in n
little alcove with Miss Dovons watch
ing the throng of dancers and "non-
combntants , " aware that ho would bo
oxpootod to speak to everyone of them
next dny , and wondering how on earth
lie was going to remember all thojo
iiainos. At this hour ho was rather
dazed and Inclined to view ruefully his
shattered plans about "plotting" but ,
later in his stay at Forest lake , ho could
not remember that he had boon espe
cially grlevod ever the unexpected turn
of ovonts.
* * * * * # *
"Whow ! ain't It hot ? " wheezed
"DulM , " pathetically , If ungrammatic
ally , as ho vigorously mopped his damp
brow for the lirst tlmo 111 two minutes ,
"Wish I were out of this for just about
two weeks , right now. 'Dibs' must bo
having a genial tlmo with himself , loaf
ing around at summer resorts. See his
letter in the Sunday paper ? " ho inquired -
quired of the man at the next desk ,
"Whoso ? Blunt's ? Yes. Say , ho
must bo having a good time at Forest
lake. It was the Ilrst place ho struck ,
and ho hasn't budged yet. Thought he
was going to tuko 'em all in ? "
"Dunno , " said "Dubs , " doubtfully.
"Ho must'vo run up against some at
traction. Ilo'd boon there nearly three
weeks now , and hasn't written mo since
he ilrst arrived , so ho must bo busy. "
Blun't was having a good tlmo , and ho
was rather busy , Miss Dovons liked
boating and fishing and tennis and moon
light btrolU , in which preference Blunt
coincided to the extent that presently
Miss Deveiis1 other friends among the
few men there hod to amuse themselves
without much of the soluco of her so-
cloty ; nnd Papa Dovons was like to have
a ill , so nearly overcome was ho with
ivvvous apprehension at the way that
penniless scribbler monopolized his
daughter. In fnct , BO approhonftivo wns
ho that ho mentioned the matter to the
young woman hcrsoif ono morning. Hewn
wn * very anxious , ho nssurod her , thnt
she mnke n suitable nnd worthy alliance ;
nnd ho viewed with disfavor the atten
tions of this young mnn , who , while
worthy enough in some wnys , wns n no
body nnd penniless nt thnt. "And I
trust , " ho ndded , "thnt you will glvo
him no oncourngotnonU for I should
certainly decline , Harriet , to consent to
your your becoming engaged to him. "
Whorent Hnrrlot , who hnd boon listen
ing smilingly throughout , blushed pret
tily , nnd said , laughingly :
"Nonsense , papal The very idonl
Why , neither of us evor.drcnmcil of such
nonsonslcnl thlngsl" And then she
tripped nwny.to join the "penniless no
body , " who wns tinkering with the row
locks of her boat down at the landing ,
while Mnmiua Dovens , a gentle smllo on
her sweet face , leaned buck In her chnlr
nnd looked at the pair approvingly. It
was not so very , very long since Hnlph
Devons , millionaire , was n "ponnlluss
nobody , " yet ho had never boon loss dear
to her for all that , nor hnd tint stnto of
nlTalrs ever detracted from her happi
ness. Mnnunn Dovons hnd a young heart
and n sneaking affection for penniless ,
bright young men , John Blunt being an
object of spccinl preference. All of
which wnswoll enough , so fur ns It went ,
"
for John Blunt.
For , be It known ) the stntemont made
by Hnrriot Dovens on thnt bright
morning ImdV boon half un
advised nssortlon , half fib. That
both these young persons hnd hnd at
least some thought of the "nonsensical
things" referred to so lightly by Hnrrlot
was demonstrated thnt evening. The
Weather nnd the hour were propitious ,
the moon shone caressingly , the voices
of the night sang of romance and John
Blunt , who had boon rowing "double' '
with Miss Dovens , chose thnt occasion
to toll her something that hnd boon
koopimr him awnko o' nights , nnd sug
gested the tulvisablllty of their rowing
double through lifo , just this way ( which
mode of putting the proposition has
boon used by love-lorn young men who
propose in boats , from tlmo imuiomorinl ,
eaoh thinking it entirely original ) to
which suggestion Miss Devons was fnln
to confess she was moro than inclined to
bo favorable , although she expressed
some strong doubts us to what her father
might think on the subject ,
For nlmost eighteen hours they wcro
vorv , very happy. They lay awnko that
night , Tf course , thlnkintr of each other ,
and both were up betimes next morning ,
each to entch an early glimpse of the
other. But In the afternoon a terrible
thing occurred to mar their new-found ;
happiness. John Blunt , who wont , in
his manly , straightforward way , to in-
3torviow l npn Dovons on the subject
nearest his heart , was rebuffed , ro-
buked , scorned and soundly berated for
his presumptionand thofacoho brought
out from that interview was n very
long ono , Indeed. Harriet cried a
little on his shoulder as they stood ,
for a few minutes in a quiet corner of
the hall , then tried to look cheerful and
encourage him. But it was not much !
use , and presently John Blunt , smurting '
witlt the knowledge that in future ho
might see Harriet but seldom , oxcopt-
ing sub rosa , left the house and walked
odown to the Inko to tnink. Ho stopped
nt the Dovons boat house for a racquet
ho had loft there that morning , and sat
down in the shade to have his think out.
It was not n very pleasant think , us al-
most any young man who has boon siml-
larly situated can testify. John Blunt
was partly dazed , partly in n rage , ixnd
it was somo. time before ho could ig
himself to view the matter in a or
in any wise calm. His heart was very
bitter as ho gazed moodily put ever the :
pretty lake , dotted with white sails , nnd
ho took no note of time or surroundings ,
Ho , might have snt whore ho was until
xdark had not something occurred to
bring him back to a realization of
things.
Tlioro was a sudden burst of childish
laughter from the other side of the boat
house , a patter of baby foot , and little
3-yoar-old Bonny , the only soil of the
house of Dovens , its idol nnd pride and
greatest joy , ran by where Blunt sat and
out onto the pier , where , on tlio end of fa
loose plank which projected slightly \
ever Jho water , ho stood clapping his
hands and laughing , unmindful of the
ciiosof his distracted nurse , who was
running wildly down the path from the
house.
An idea burst into John Bluut's brain.
Ho wns an honest nnd honorable young
man. but there nro some ends , the attain
ment of which justifies oven question
able means. To think was to act.
Quick as a Hash ho leaned ever , grasped
tlio end of the plank on which Benny
stood , nnd gnvo it a wrench sidowino ,
precipitating the unfortunate child into
a dozen foot of water , Then , with a
hourso cry , he sprang forward , throw
off his cuat as ho rushed nnd leaped in
after poor little Bonny.
It was all ever in a few seconds , and
in two minutes John Blunt , carrying tlio (
dripping , Imltaonscious form of the
pride of the house of 'Duvens and bl-
lowed by the hysterical inn-bo , strode blup
the walk , down which rushed to moot
him papa , mamma nnd Harriet Dovens.
It did not detract from his satisfaction
thut they hud till soon little Bunny's fall
and the timely rescue , nor that i pa
Dovons shook his hand warmly and id ,
"God bless you , my boy ! " nnd that
Mamma Dovons kissed him tearfully . ,
and Harriet did likewise , culling him
"Dear , darling , bravo Japk , " before
thorn all. Then ho modestly disap
peared and was not seou by any of them '
again until Papa Dovens , nftor n serious , ,
interview with Harriet and her mother ,
which left thorn both smiling happily ,
called upon him at the hotel tlmt evon-
ing.
Homoono at the lake telegraphed a
thrilling account of Benny's accident
and rescue to the papers , and "Dubj ' , "
und the other boys felt n certain pride
cut
man. They were still fooling proud of
him throe days later , anil wcro discuss
ing him , when the society editor cumo
in , al excitement , with :
"What do you suppose hits happened
"
now ?
" "Givo It up ! " was the prompt reply.
"Did Homo ono pay you $5 you never
expected to got1' added one.
"Pshaw ! No. Look hore. " euid the
society man , extracting from a inaaa i of
papers a letter from a local correspond
ent at Forest lako. "Listen:1 :
The engagement of Mr. John Blunt , ,
the well known journalist , and Miss
Duvens , daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kulph
Dovons , Is announced. Tim wedding , it
is understood , is sot for late October. n
An ejaculation of surprise and Balls- ,
faction went round the city room and
Dubs' ' face beamed as he ronmrkod , em
phatically :
"Bully for Dibs ! "
It is with un air half oinnurrasbed ,
half serene , tlmt John Blunt ( the
scamp ! ) listens to that oft-repeated lulu
of his futhor-in-law'd about the timu ) ho
rosoued little Bonny from a watery
gr.uvo ; and ho receives the old gontlo-
mun's allusions to his gallantry with a
modesty that ia truly of the blush rose
variety. John Blunt , whatever may bo
his general idea of honesty , believes
thut the truth is not always host hon
told. K. L. KETOHUM.

The second world's oonvontlon of Sun-
day School Workers' assembles lu St.
Louis tomorrow nnd will continue in session
slot three dnys. .Preceding the iiiuin
convention there were meetings of various
OU8 auxiliary bodies , Mioh ns the International -
national Conference ot Field Workers
nnd the International Sunday School
conference. The nttondnnco of dolo-
gutos , nt the latter was about 2,000.
which ! Is expected lo be largely In
creased nt the mooting tomorrow.
Some Idea of the ignllleanco of the
convention nmy bo obtained from u brlof
rcforoueo ' to previous gatherings of the
same nature. The Klohl Workers' con
vention is the first of its kind. The in
ternational convention Is the evolution
of the national convention , nnd is the
twelfth gathering of thnt body , ns well
as the < seventh o"f the international. Its
sessions nro hold once in three years ,
urn It was organized nt the sixth na
tional oonvontion in May , 1875 , nt Balti
more. The sixth international convention
tioi was hold nt Plttsburg In J800 , nnd
Hou. John O. Harris of Alabama ,
who wns then ohoson president' , will pre
side over the coming convontion. The
board of vice presidents Includes ono
from cnuh stnto In the union nnd onch of
the Canadian provinces.
Among the moro prominent workers
belonging to the intoruntionnl conven
tion nro Bishop J. II. Vincent , host
known bocnuso of hla connection with
the Clinutautiutt summer school , and U.
F. Jacobs , who is entitled to the thanks
of all Sunday school'workers for the In
ternational Lesson Leaf , and Dr. Meredith -
dith ol Brooklyn , long Identified in Sun-
dny school work. The plan for uniform
study by the world's Sunday schools was
devised by him , and ho had the aotlvo
assistnneo of Dr. Edward Egglcston and
Dr. Vincent in perfecting it. It was
adopted by the convention of J872 , which
was held in Indianapolis.
Tlio first world's Sunday school con
vention was hold in London in 188'J and
was tlio outgrowth of the international
convention , ns the latter wan of the nn-
tionnl. It was projected during the
fifth international con volition hold in
Chicago in 18S7. The details of the or-
gunizntion were given into the hands of
an nblo committee , of which Mr. B. F.
Jacobs was ono. The Sunday school
workers of the other lauds entered cor
dially into tlio work , aud the delegates
were welcomed to the world's metropo
lis on July of the year named by the
lord mayor , and the earl nnd countess of
Aberdeen and other titled and untltled
English men and women united to niako
it pleasant for them. The American
delegates numbered over U30 , and they
wont to England on board the Cuiiard
steamer Bothnia , which they chartered
for the occasion. ,
Many conillcting claims as to who
originated the Sunday school Idea.hnvo
boon put forth , nnd it is hard in the
light of the facts that have been dis
closed of Into years to decide as to whom
the credit is duo. Robert1 Uaikos , n
printer and publisher of a'snmll news
paper in Gloucester , Eng. , was undoubt
edly the first whoso work attracted gen
eral attention nnd imitation. Hu got
his idea , however , from n Mrs. Brad-
burn , who Had boon n tonchor in a Sun
day school established in 17(1 ( ! ) by Han
nah Ball. Raikod started his first school
In 1780 , and In 17Si : , U10 years ago. it had
become sufficiently successful in hlso.vo3 _
to warrant the publication of un article
concerning it in his paper , the Glouces
ter Journal , lie also wrote an article
abaut tlio school , which was published
in tjio Gentlemen's Majiu/.ino. and once
the plan and its success as conducted by
him were motto known to the churches
In general it wns extended with mar
velous rapidity.
It is n fact , however , that as early as
15(50 ( schools somewhat similar tothat nt
Mr. Rttikos wore established by the kirk
ot Scotland , and a somewhat similar
.form of school was nulhorl/.cd by the
Church of England in HiOU. Among the
earliest Sunday schools In America
were these established at Roxbury ,
Mass. , in 1074 ; Norwich , Own. , in Iti'Jl ' ! ;
Plymouth , Mass. , in 1(130 ( ; Newton , N. ,
Y. , in 108.1 ; Berks county , Pennsylvania , ,
ill 17i4 ; ; Ephrata , Pa , , in 17-10 ; Bethle
hem , Conn. , in 17-11) ) ; Philadelphia in , '
1770 , and llanovor county , Virginia ; lu'
178. ) . But thu work of these uhoob
not bolng published to the worhi , as (
was that of llaikes , their inlluunuo wa ;
only Itcal. .
Tlio teaching in RulkoH * school and'la
early Sunday schools generally was no
altogether religious. Indeed , it _ Wa <
nouessury , owing to tlio ignorauco of thir
hcholars who were Induced to attend , to
tcuch them to road buforu tlioy oauld
coini > rohond the bible's prlntutl page
Writing1 was also taught , and tlio
teachers received pecuniary contponba-
tion for their labors , the Engliwh soni
nary fund being drawn upon until J7'fc. ! )
When this wasdUuontlntiud the Sundav
school received a severe blow , and It was
then that the work was taken up by vol
unteorH from the ranks of ladies < > (
wealth and position , It does not appear
that wages were ever paid to Sunday
school teituhers In this country. Bishop
Asbury of the Methodist Kpfccopal
church. Jonathan Edwards anil George
Whitonold wore among the inun of
prominencu who early ongugcd in tlm
work . of fontoring Sunday bohool work

The Sunday sohool is now the strong
est institution auxiliary to the work of
the churches. Its cllliilunuy was vastly
increased when the Loiulon Sunday
School union was organized in 18011 , and
fresh impetus to the work was given by
the orgiini/.atlon of the New York union
a lilt'ui later. The union idea spread
rapidly to other citim , towns and coun
ties both in England and in America ,
and the Sunday school unit * so generally -
ally formed have hud a great doul to do
with the breaking down of the old lines
of dumlriutionnl ; prejudice. The social
inJltiunuo of the Sunday school today
cannot bo over estimated ,
