The Better Way

"1 give you your cnoice," Bald the Hei
alan orhcer brusiu. "Either yoa tae
oath never to marry tne France girl or else
you hang tomorrow. Falm lis email
choice you have, but the decialon hould be
all the eauler made.-1
The American major shrugged hie shoul
ders placidly. 'There are woree thlnge
than to be hanged."
"Woree thlnga than to be hanged for a
Tee."
The other laughed harshly. "Poeelbly.
It la a matter of taste, I suppose. Not
many woree thlnga, one might hope."
' Many. For one thing, to pledge myeelf
to what you auk were woree."
"Zounds, man! You take It the wrong
way. Dead you cannot marry her. That
is true. Whether you give way now and
ave your life or play the obstinate fool
and lose It. the girl la not for you. 'TIs all
one."
Pardon me, air. I do not think 'tie all
one. To be cure I cannot marry the lady
In either case, but If I choose death I shall
till have her respect and my own."
The red-coated officer stopped In his walk
to look down on the American with a sneer
on his handsome face.
"Well, major, every man to his own taste.
For me, I prefer to believe In a world
where there are horses, wine and women,
but all men are not made alike."
"I thank God for that," returned the
other quickly with a flicker of steel In his
gray eyes.
The Dutchman flushed at the home thrust.
"I see. Tou are one of those fools who
think It better to be divorced from life
than from honor. The greater booby you!
What Is honor but a name? Will It
bring the breath of life Into your body
after they hang you In the orchard tomor
row morning? Hlmmel, no! TIs naught
but a man-made convention to be abided
by when the wind blows fair not other
wise." " 'TIs a thing a man may carry with hlra
into the next world along with a good
conscience." answered the other evenly.
Humburg paced up and down the cell
with furrowed brow. He wanted to rid
him self of his rival, but he preferred to
accomplish his end without sacrificing the
life of the American. The Heeslan captain
held In hie hands the proofs that Major
Arundel was not a spy. He knew the Vir
ginian had ventured through the British
lines only because the report had reached
him that Kate France was dying from
wounds received In runaway accident.
and that he. Flits Humburg, had it In his
power to make this clear to the command'
Inf general. The captain was. not heartless
by any means, but he was unscrupulous,
and he meant to make this stubborn colo
nial step aside In the race for the hand of
Catherine France.
"Man, y'are a fool. Tomorrow you may
walk out an exchanged prisoner Into the
warm sunshine. If for once you yield on a
point of honor, as you call It, none need
ver know."
"I shall know."
"Well, and If you do? A man must bend
to the wind when It blows against htm
verhard. There come times when it were
the worst of folly to stand hard and fast
on tho narrow line of conduct which at
other time .rules him. When life and
death are In the balance nice points of
honor must go by the board."
Arundel smiled. "Must theyt"
The Hessian turned on him a face hard
as) Iron. "They must, or you must hang,
be returned brutally.
"Which bring us back to the point from
Which we originally started. We must
agree to disagree, I fear."
Then you will die a fool."
"I believe you mentioned that before."
retorted the American quietly. "I have no
answer for It. exoept that I had rather die
a fool than live a knave. May I offer you

"As Ood pleaxes. Neither you nor I

"I can guess," retorted the other
brutally.
And with that he turned on his heel.
But even as he wheeled around, the door
swung open to let In a cloaked and hooded
Indy. In the darkness neither of the men
recognised her for the moment. She stood
In the doorway, blinking in the uncertain
light.
'Kate!" cried Arundel In glad amaie-
ment, while the Hessian let slip out a
Dutch oath between his set teeth.
She went straight toward her lover's out
stretched arms as a tired child to Its
mother. He tried to comfort her, not
with speech he dared not trust himself
to speak but in the sweet ways a lover has
at command. Presently she explained In
pathetic little broken voice:
"I made General Howe give me a pass
Into the prison. 'Twas all he would do.
He will not believe that Oh! Will, why
did you comeT"
Twas reported you were dying from
the accident I came to see you."
And 'tis you will die not I. Oh, would

The Hessian stood In the background.
watching their misery stolidly and awk
wardly. If hs felt emotion his phlegmatio
German face gave no hint of It. But he
shifted from one foot to the other, and at
the tound the girl, looking over her lover's
shoulder, recognized him. Her eyeo di
lated.
'You! You here?" she cried. Then .to
Arundel, "What Is he doing here?"
"He has come to make me an offer."
Something In the constrained manner of
the two men pucsled her. She threw back
her head and looked at her lover search
Ingly; then at the Hessian.
What offer has' Captain Humburg to
maker' she demanded.
"He proposes a way by which my life
may be saved, but to my thinking the
terms do not consist with honor," he an
swered slowly.
"Your life? How can he save your life?"
"He has possession of the papers which
would prove me not a spy the decoy mes
sage for one. When he recognised and ar
rested me this letter was found on ma
The captain has not thought It necessary
to show this to the general," Arundel ex
plained bitterly.
"Not thought it necessary?" ahe repeated.
'But I do not understand. That letter
might save you."
"So Captain Humburg feared."
She understood then and guessed
shrewdly the terms that had been offered.
Mistress Kate freed herself from the arms
of her lover and turned to the Heeslan,
but that officer had decided discretion to
be the better part of valor and slipped from
the room. It was one thing to discuss such
a matter with a condemned rebel, 'twas
quite another to front the scorn and de
spair of the woman he loved.
The girl stood lost In thought for a
minute. When at last she spoke It waa to
promise her lover that she would save him
yet. Arundel took her by tho shoulders
gently and swung her sround till the light
that filtered through the barred window
shone on her face.
"You will save me? How?" he asked.
For that she had no answer ready. He
looked Into her eyes steadily till they fell
before his searching glance.
I will not be saved at that price," he
erled. "I had rather a thousand times dls
than see you married to Humburg."
'Twas to see ms you ran Into danger.
nnau i let you die when I can save you?"
"Yes, by heaven," he told her wildly,
The cost is too great. What do you think
me? I should drag out my life in shame.
No. nol We shall not add dishonor to our
misery. Let us be true to ourselves."
She trembled in his arms like an aspen.

as Humburg does. We know that death h
not the evil most to be feared. The harder
part Is youra, not mine; but you will be
brave. Kate," he told his sweetheart sadly
but proudly. "So brave that you would have
neither of us compromise with dishonor,
Is It not so?"
"I shall try. Will. But oh! It ta so hard.
I cannot I cannot let you go."
The Jailer opened the door to let them
know her time was up. She clung despair
ingly to her lover, her body all torn with
silent sobs. Presently he gently unclased
her arms and led her almost fainting to the
aoor.
Dusk had fallen and the city lights were
already twinkling through ths growing
darkness when Mistress Kate France came
knocking at the door of the house where
Captain Frits Humburg lodged. Her people
were tones and she had none to look to
for he!p save her own mother wit. She
had slipped from home and stolen along the
crowded streets to plead with the Hessian
officer for this life that meant so much
to ner. More than one young blood In the
king's uniform had attempted familiarity
with this lithe, graceful young nlghtwalker.
whoso face, save for the shining eyes, was
hidden In her cloak, but she had hurried
past with heart beating fast and cheeks
aflame at their gallantries. They might
think what they would of her, but she
would stop at nothing to gain her end.
Ths stern-faced keeper of the lodging
house looked suspiciously at this night
visitor. She had an opinion of young
women who came visiting at the rooms of
an officer and after dark. Besides, this
particular miss had already been here twice
today seeking the captain. Therefore the
manner of ths woman was something less
than civil.
"No, he Is not In," she answered shortly,
"Can you tell me when he will be back?
asked the girl timidly.
"No."
"But I must see him tonight I must!"
Kate saw her last chance slipping from
her. If she did not see the captain soon
her lover must die. She dared not go
home, lest she be locked In for the night,
nor cou'd she go wandering through the
streets alone. She resolved to wait for
Captain Humburg, and said so.
The woman snorted at the Impudence of
the brazen hussy.
"That you will not, unless you wait out
side, miss."
"Oh, you do not understand. A life hangs
on It I am not I do- not come here to
oh, you will help me, will you not? I am
only a girl, and I have no friends to help
me."
The forlorn pathetic appeal did not soften
one line In the hard face.
"You should have thought of that be
fore you got in such a pickle."
"But he Is my lover."
"Well, and If he be. This Is a decent
house, and no place for lovers' meetings."
The girl beat her hand sgalnst the door
lln!el In Tier despair.
"No. no! Not Captain Humburg. "TIs an
American officer I lore, and the captain has
CTie papers that will save his life. Oood
woman, help me help me. for the love of
ChrisC
The woman looked at her keenly.
"The papers that will save his life how
do you mean?" she ssked.
"He Is to be hanged for a spy. but he Is
none. On some foolish bet a letter was
sent him saying that I was dying, and he
broke through ths Iloea to see sne. But
General Howe will not believe and Captain
Humburg has the proof."
The keeper of the lodging house drew her
Into the passage within the shine of the
candle. The hood fell back from the fine
white girlish face, and the woman be
lieved. "That will I for your own sweet sake,
my child. I did not know you were that
kind of a lass. Tell the whole story to
Meg Wilsey, and If she can do aught for
you she will. Don't you be afraid, my
pretty. We'll find a way to save your lad
yet."
She took the sobbing girl to her breast
and soothed her with gentle words and
caresses. Margaret Wllsey let rooms to
British officers, but her heart was with the
ragged continentals.
So It happened that when Captain Frits
Humburg let himself in with his latchkey
and walked quietly up the carpeted stair
way he found visitors In his outer room.
He saw at a glance that one was his land
lady and the other Kate France. Instinc
tively he drew back from the half open
door Into the shadow without where he
could see, himself unseen.
Mrs. Wllsey waa holding a candle above
his desk while the girl rummsged his
papers. Presently he heard Kate give a
little glad cry.
"This must be It. Yes. It Is the letter,
and here ere the other papers. Oh. let me
be gone ere he comes back."
In the darkness outside the captain
smiled bitterly, yet with a certain sar
donic humor. He knew that what the girl
had found were duplicate copies of the
papers, not worth a pinch of snuff for her
purpose. She would take them to Sir Wil
liam and would meet the greatest surprise
of her life. The captain hugged himself
wnen ne tnought of that. It was the one
thing that made the sltustlon tolerable to
him. His hungry1 eyes devoured the sweet
race and the slender figure was not for
him. The wild, impotent desire was on
him to rush In and snatch her up In hla
arms, somehow despite herself to win her
love by force; but he set his teeth and stole
silently down the stairs and out of the
house.

When Mistress Kate showed the letter
and papers to Sir William Howe that
gentleman threw back his head and laughed

"Too late; do you mean that hs has been

"Then he Is dead V
"Dead? Zounds, no! I mean you came

AN HUMBLE HEROINE'S DEED
A Woman's tsnicknesa of Thought and
Action Saved a Trainlond
f People.
A woman's quickness of thought and
promptness of action stood between two
train loads of passengers and n terrible
disaster on the New York at Harlem rail
road on Tuesday last Ths signals either
did not work or were disregarded, and, as
it was, a flying express crashed Into a
local train just ahead of It on the same
track, with possibly fatal results for one
person and serious wounds for a few
others.
Ths heroine of this event Is Mrs. Fred
erick Emmett, s woman of 80. who is
employed in a New York rubber factory
at $10 a week and makes a home In the
suburbs for husband snd two children.
These particulars are stated because the
world knows too little of the good people
In It, and Mrs. Emmett deserves vastly
more fame than half her contemporaries
whose names and portraits ' are published
widely In connection with the general
interests of the day.
She had been traveling on the local
train herself and, after alighting at a
stopping place beyond her dwelling, was
walking back over the track when she
saw the express come booming along.
Liks n flash the thought went through
her mind that the local could not yet
have got off the track ahead. The air
was thick, and smoke and steam envel
oped the approaching locomotive like a
cloud, but with her umbrella In one hand,
her lunch basket In the other, and her
voice raised to its highest pitch, she con
trived to alarm the engineer. In another
moment his prow would have plowed the
train ahead Into kindling wood and he
would probably have lost his life. By her
merciful warning he was enabled to put
on all brakes and reverse his engine, so
that although part of the rear car struck
was wrecked, most of the passengers suf
fered no worse fate than a very disagree
able shaking up.
The natural Impulse of a normal woman,
it ts said, when confronted with an awful
calamity actually Impending, Is to scream
or faint. Mrs. Emmett screamed, but not
Inanely. She screamed or shouted for a
definite purpose, and with great effect. Bo
tar from fainting waa shs that she ran back
and busied herself earing for the Injured
persons, not leaving the scene to go home
and aee her family till ths last practicable
attention had been paid them. Nay, more,
on her way bark to the wreck, appreciating
the poaslble seriousness of the ease, she
stopped at a store Just long enough to turn
In an emergency call to two physicians by
telephone.
If nature and the social organism rsn

The sale of the property of the Har
mony Society, In the Sewlckly Valley of
rennsyivanla, marks the end of another
community established by men and women
who believed that In this way they could
enjoy life better then by mingling with the
rest of the world. Such communities have
not been uncommon In this country, and a
number of them still exist; but few of them
have been carried on with any great degree
of success. All sorts of Ideas have been
mad excuses for banding men and women
together in this way, and frequently no
attention has been paid to the marrlago
law of the land. No marriage was allowed
among the Economists, and this was doubt
less one of the causes of the failure of their
scheme. The Mormons present the most
notable example of a community that can
not be counted am,ong the failures. They
have grown rich, strong and Influential in
the affairs of Utah, and though the law was
compelled to step In and put up a bar
against plural marriage among them, yet
that has not prevented a large Increase in
their number, and new converts to their
religious teachings are being made all the
time. ,
Communities like the one at Economy
are generally recruited from the ranks of
country people, generally farmers. Very
few city residents are tempted by such
schemes, or are fitted to do the work that
falls to the lot of all such colonists. They
must all become tillers of the soil, and In
most of the communities the women Join
with the men In the work In the fields.
Such a life may be a healthy one, but it
leaves little opportunity for Individual
advancement, no chance to build a home
which Is personal and . private property
The community's earnings, generally
receipts from the sales of farm products
pass Into a common fund, which Is In charge
of trustees, either self-appointed at ths
start, or elected from time to time by the
members.
It Is easy to see that frequent bicker
ings and quarrels must result from such
a system, and they generally originate
from strife over the money. That Is tha
rock upon which nearly all of them are
wreaked. There are usually In every such
band shrewd Individuals who see an
opportunity to get rich from ths work of
others and who do not fall to take ad
vantage of It. The failure of one of thesr
communities after snother simply proves
that there can be no happiness, no peace
without good, responsible government, by
which the rights of all are protected, and
under which law, order and decency arc
maintained. Baltimore American.
