FOURTH EPISODE.
Tho blow dazed his senses and he
leaped backward as if from a living
enemy who had struck him, and struck
the back of his head against anoDer tree.
After that he cowered for a while on the
ground, whimpering and blind blind as a
mole.
Then he began to scream for help.
After an hour his screams grew hoarse
and faint and presently his vocal chords
relaxed and hto could no longer make a
sound.
Bo It was to be death, was it? Death
In the damned forest, when he was still In
the prim of life? Death because a little
boy loved a little girl and always stood
up for her! Well. It had to be' and he
tried, to resign himself to it and be cairn.
Suddenly he heard a sound that gave
him fresh terrors many sounds, ' the
sounds of many soft-padded feet coverg
ing upon him from three sides over the
dead leaves. Closer and closer they Came,
very slowly, and Stilllter howled back
and he leaped to his feet and ran.
Thorns tore hit clothe from his body,
the flesh from, his bones, and the merci
less trunks of trees dealt htm blow after
blow, but still he ran to escape from the
thlrut that had howled. '
AU at once the ground became firm and
even under his flying feet; he no longer
encountered trees or buhes.v He had
escaped from the forest and from the
think tlg-it howled. There wss still hope
for him. He might still live to be the
greatest man that had ever lived In the
world. And then the next step that he
took his foot never touched the ground
at all: It lust went down and down and
head over heels he followed and fell
through apace.
He woke so frightened that he was half
dead In reality. And It took him some
time to pull himself together.
Well, the party landed and took up the
long trail to Four Corners.
About leaving Tommy without colthes,
Stilllter had no compunctions. The young
man might suffer. He would undoubtedly
catch a frightful cold, but he wouldn't
actually die. "He'll awlm across," Stll
liter thought, "and would naked until
he reaches the outskirts of Four
Corners. Then he ll hide in a bush and
cal plteously for help. I wish I could be
there to aee. The scene should have In It
.the true essence of comedy."
SUlUter had no beliefs that could not
be gratified in a scientific way, but he
could not - altogether explain away the
miraculous coincidence ot Tommy being
the very first person that Celestla
should meet.
"Why pick out to meet her when she
comes back, from all the millions who
might be the first to meet her, the one
person who was unhappy when she was
taken away. Well, they won't do any
more meeting, if I can help it. It really
looks aa If forces, of which we under
stand little or nothing, were at work to
bring these two together and spoil my
plans."
"Why," said Celestla. "do you make
me go with your
"It's my . duty," said Stilllter; "yeu
can't live In the woods, at the mercy of
the first young man that comes along."
"He was going to take roe to New
York."
"Well, so am 1; by the next train. But

I wouldn't expect a sane person to dress

"I am Celestla." she fald. "I come from
Heaven to make the world happier.
She spoke these words in a clear, rather
loud voice, so that the two guides turned
to look at her. and the younger of them
having looked, sheepishly pulled off bis
hat. and during the rat of the march
held it la his hand, lie didn't quite be
lieve that she came from Heaven. He
didn't quite believe that she didn't. He
proposed to take no r bancs. At least
abe was the moat beautiful creature he
had ever seen, or ever hoped to see.
HtlUlter passed over the question ef
Oeltia's origin; he appeared to accept

"If you like." she said ; and then for .
long time she talked reform and poll-
tics to him, exactly lis he had taught
her to talk them. .with the same eager,
simple faith and serene conviction. He
pretended to be Immensely Interested in
her eohemes. But he doubted their
practicality. And he tested her with
numerous questions, to which during the
long years of her training he had taught
her the answers. Toward the end ot
their conversation he made less and less
opposition to her theories. He began to
accept and to agree with them. And In
three-quarters of an hour ehe had per
formed the miracle of converting him

to his own bollefs.
If he was amused, he was also excited
and exhilarated. "She plays her part
to perfection," he thought.
"Well." he said at last, "I believe you
aro right. Whether you can put your
schemes In execution Is another matter.
Talk to the guides; tell them what you
intend to do. See if you can convince
them."
Ho while the party rested at a spring,
Celestla talked smoothly and earnestly
to the guides. The younger never took
his eyes off her face; but the elder,
after a while, looked only at the ground,
and occasionally nodded. As for the old
Indian, he, too, listened, and It seemed
as If some feeling akin to remorse was
gnawing at hie leathery heart, lor he
was seen to oast sidelong gtaaoeg at the
bundle he had made of Tommys clothes,
and later when the party had resumed
Its way. It seemed an If the bundle had
become too heavy for him, for when he
thought no one was looking he cast It
from him Into a thloket. This was an
act of conscience. He had stolen. That
couldn't be helped, but at least he wouid
not profit by it However. I regret to
say, a few days later the old man re
turned for the clothes and sold them.

It works to human disadvantage that
each one of ua. Instead of being a com
plete thing, Is scarcely more than a frac
tion, and not Infrequently an absurdly
small one.
It was . one of
the conceits of the
Oreek philosopher
iTIato that each
man waa originally
a complete and fin
ished product, but
that subsequently
he was silt longi
tudinally Into
halves, and that
since that time
each half has been
going about In
search of Its lost
companion.
Plato's view of
the case waa rather
a generous one, for
It would appear that when Mm slit was
made If ever It waa made we were cut
Into sections considerably smaller than
halves, and that It would require, at the
least, half a dosen of us to eompose one
complete human.
But, all jesting aside, there Is some
thing to this theory of Plato's as there
Is to all his conceits, absurd aa they
may sometimes appear at the first
glance. For, however, the fact may be
explained, we are certainly, each of us,
far from summing up Into a complete
man. When we have reckoned In all our
personal assets what we lack la almost
more conspicuous than that In which we
abound.
This situation proves disastrous In a
number of ways. This wtlcle concerns
Itself only with one, this namoly. that
the point of view which we occupy In re
gard to any question of moment is nar
rowed to a degree proportionate to our
fractional condition. If we wore per
sonally filled out so aa to have many
sides as have the truths and the prrfe
lems to which our faculties of mind and
conscience have to apply themselves, then
we should be able to eee every side and
arrive at comprehensive and safe con
elusions. If I am called upon to state the color
of a sphere, each of whose four quad
rants has a separate color of Its own,
I shea describe the sphere as carrying
the color of one quadrant that happens
to lie In the plane of my vision. If that
quadrant is blue, then I shall say that
the sphere Is blue, although that would
be only per cent true and 7S per cent
false. That Is a single illustration ot
the (act that our Judgments are accord
ing to our particular angle of vision. In
such caee our Judgment te true to our
selves, but it Is not true to the truth.
My neighbor, situated Uu degrees front
me, and seeing' only the red aids, calls
me color blind for saying that the sphere
Is blue; and I reolpronate by calling him
maliciously prejudiced for saying that
It Is red, and so the world-battle goes
on. We are both right so far aa It' la
possible for two men to be right, each
of whom la only a vulgar fraction, and
both wrong the balance of the way.
That la the secret ef the large propor
tion of dlaputea that prevail regarding
questions of sericua import. In general
they are not to be attributed to con
scious dishonesty, but to the narrowness
ef men's mental and moral h orison due
to personal oontrantedness, either Intel
lectual or ethical. The world Is aa wide
or as narrow as la the open window or
the knot-hole through which one surveys
the world.
These limitations, of which we are all
of us to a greater or lesa degree tho vic
tim, will. If rightly considered, restrain
us from Impatience at what naturally
seem to ua the bigotry, infatuation and
one-etdedneea of other people. They are
undoubtedly one-sided, and so are we
unless we are ourselves a vast Improve
ment over the Immense majority.
If We have v mmmn Iwa Am 9 hun).
J try to talk to each other and get mutually
iout of patience because the other does
jtiot understand, we have a lively picture
of the situation when two people, not
' deaf In their hearing, but In their mental
understanding, undertake to argue with
each other. If they were talking about
the same thing they might get alung well
enough together, but they are not; each
la discussing something of his own. One
is arguing about blue and the other
about red, ao that the longer the argu
ment continues the farther they are
apart. The blue man grows Increasingly
confident that th. sphere Is blue, and
the red man that It la red, ani while
they may part without coming to fisti
cuffs, they will each carry away from
the disputation the aaaured conviction
that the other Is a htgot, even if not an
ass.
That Is all that arguing usually amounts
to, and Involves ordinarily a great waste
of time, breath and good nature, without
any compensating discovery of truth.
There Is a great profit, however, In dls
cuaelng if the argument Is properly con
ducted and If each of the two dlaput
ants hn for his purpose not to hsmmer
his own Idea Into the mind of the other,
but to discover what is already artuallv
In the mind of the other. If the man with
the blue idea wilt be accommodating
enough to step around to where the red
man stands, and then If the red man
will exchange courtesies with his blue
brother, the result will be that each will
make hlmaelf wleer instead of making
himself more foolish.
The solution of the difficulty Ilea In
securing an Increase of Intellectual
hospitality, by which I mean a readi
ness to entertain views It at are foreign
to our own system of belief. Entertain
ing them doee not necessarily mean
adopting them. Receiving a stranger to
cur table docs not mean making him a
I ermanent member of cur household, but
it goes aa far aa to entrr Into amicable
relations with him and thereby coming
sufficiently Into eympathctio relations to
be able to understand what sort of s
creature he Is. He may. on acquaint
ance, be found to be an Interesting and
valuable adjunct to our circle of ac
quaintance and frlentlohip; If so It. will
be a gain to us to have welcomed him
Instead of thrusting him out of doors.
All of which might lx comprehensively
stated by saying that we must get out
of the bigoted habit nf aupposlng that
we know all that there Is to be known.
Your Chief Asset Character
By JOHN LA LANGS
When UOOO.OW people set their wits to
work to decide which of two men they
will choose for a position, they are worth
while paying attention to. Moat of us
want to get on In the worM, and we
cannot do It without the approval of
other people. What Is the best way to
get It? What do they vote for?
"Look at that fellow over there," said
an old acquaintance to me the other
day as we were ws Iking down a street.
He Indicated a man passing along on the
ether side of the road, and uttered a
grunt of disgust. "That beggar la a
mystery to me. What there la about
him I can't make out, but he gets on In
the most unaccountable fashion. He's
the fellow who got the post at Snod
grass that I was after. Rompa Into
things somehow In a queer way."
tome people have the knaok of "romp
ing" Into other persons' approval In a
much greater degree than others.- My
companion had his own Ideaa as to how
It was done. They were not complimen
tary to "the fellow over there."
"My dear Trd Beaconafleld," a lady
remarked to him of another lady who
had attained a popularity she did not
at ail approve ef, "men are Idiots. I
would not be spiteful for the world, but
If the creature's hair had been black
Instead of auburn I rail It carroty my
selfshe would not be admired a bit,
believe me."
"Most people seek to grow In clever
ness," said Prof. John Stuart Dtackle,
"but very few seek to grow In charac
ter. They are content to leave that to
ohance, and the consequence Is they
don't develop as they should. Success
comes to ability and character togother.'
"People have got bralna on the brain.'"
declared Spurgeon. "If you say that J on
don't like a person, someone Is sure to
remark. 'Oh, but he la ao clever.' Juat a
If that were a reason In Itself for liking
a person. Cleverness la not everything.
fk.metlrr.es It la the very thing that fills
one with distrust of a person he or she
may be only made dangerous by It.
Make the moat of your bralna. but don't
think they are the only thing worth cul
tivating." James Fayn, the novelist, remarked of
one woman who used to say the most
brilliant things In conversation that If
she had only devoted half the time she
stent In thinking of them to considering
whether the brilliant things would be tn
r-Kd taste and not arouse 111 feeling, she
would have been ten times more popular.
As It la, she waa not voted a delightful
person by any meams.
While a food number of my
eoqualntancee are desperately In earnest
In lunrnlnr different things that . they
Imagine will secure them ucoeee, they
are at the same thne not giving a
thought to tbe cultivation of the quali
ties necessary to gain them the oppor
tunities of. exercising their abilities.
I heard Max O'Rell orrce tell the atery
of a young lady who acquired three lan
guages while doing her hair. Then she
trotted her three language around, and
found, to her urprlse. that no one
seemed particularly anxious to engage
her. They really could not stand the
look of her head. She discovered the
cause of her failure at last, when one
very Irritable old gentleman ahe called
on told her that he would prefer one
language to three If a brush and comb
were thrown In with the one.' She had
sacrificed habits of tldlnesa to the at
tractions of Irregular verba
