CARKSON'S PERIL)

colic ind

~~ By WALTER RRFUC

(Conelned) |

Presently Clarkson was aroused by a tap at the tent pole.

“May I come in?’ asked a voice, and without waiting for a reply a tall man, carrying @ sieve in one hand and a roll of newspapers in the other, entered.

“Not well?” he inquired, glancing at the bed,

“Yes, I'm well enough,” Thomas an- swered wearily.

“Oh! Taking a holiday because it's Christinas eve, I suppose. I've knocked off work, too, till the day after tomor- row. I've come to ask you to come along with us tomorrow if you've nothing bet- ter to de.”

“Where are you going”

“My wife and I are going for a bit of a picnic, to give the youngsters a treat, you know, and we want you to come along. Icannot promise you anything very grand,” he added, with a laugh | “but it will be better than moping here | aloneall day. Will you come?”

“I don’t think so. Thank you, Mr. Rock. [I'm fond of moping, you know, and I should only spoil the children's pleasure if I took my gloomy face among them.”

‘*That’sall nonsense. The youngsters will be disappointed if you don't come. They think there is no one like you.”

But Clarkson still persisted in his re- fusal.

“Well, if you won't, you won't, I sup- pose. I won't press you to comeagainst your will,” said Rock, and he left the tent looking rather vexed. He returned in a few minutes and threw a roll of newspapers on the bed.

“MAY I COME IN?” “They are a week old,” Rock said, “but perhaps you would like to look at

Thomas thanked him. But when he was gone he tnrew himself down in the old attitude of silent despair.

Christmas day broke fair, bright, gen- ial, lovely—-the very ideal of South Afri- can weather. The sky was a stainless blue; the river glistened like burnished gold; the air was balmy and fragrant. Clarkson spent the morning wandering up and down the river bank. He gazed upon all the beauty of earth and sky callonsly. It did not seem to be for him. A dark sky enda wild storm would have better suited his mood.

In the afternoon he returned to his tent, wishing that Christmas was over that he might get back to work. Labor was all that he cared for now, for phys- ical weariness brought with it some measure of mental rest. Listlessly he took up one of the newspapers Rock had left with him. What mattered i= tohim how the rest of humanity were moving, what men were buying and selling, who was growing rich and who had become poor? He was about to fling the paper down again when something caught his eye—something that instantly banished the weariness and indifference and bronght the hot blood rushing to hia cheek. It was a Johannesburg journal, and he read:

“Truth is,after all, stranger than fic- tion, and murder will out. The truth of these well known adages has just been proved in a remnarkable manner. Few people will have forgotten the excite- ment into which Johannesburg was thrown about 18 months ago by the mur- der of Mr. Diblin, a wealthy and much respected merchant of this town. A young man named Clarkson was accused of the crime and after trial sentenced to death, The sentence was afterward com- muted to penal servitude for life. It wil] be remembered that Clarkson escaped from prison and that all efforts to trace him were unavailing. It seems, however, that the young fellow was innocent of the crime for which he nearly paid the awful penalty.

“A man named Dick Carter, who was injured in the dynamite explosion at the Gladstone mine yesterday and who is now dead, confessed to the murder. It appears that for some time there had been an ill will between Mr. Dibtin and Carter, and on the day of the murder it terminated in a bitter and terrible quar- rel. Later in the evening as Carter was returning home he met Mr. Diblin, who was very angry that, as he thought, Carter should be dogging him. Carter was insolent, and Mr. Diblin threatened to give him in charge, whereupon Car- ter, who wae not sober, pulled out his revolver, which he had bonght from 4 native a few weeks before, and shot Mr. Diblin. Carter did not at first think that Mr. Diblin was dead, but imagined that he had merely fainted.

‘Being hard up, he tock from the pock- ets of the prostrate man all the money he carried—a large sam—amounting in notes and gold to several thousand pounds. He alsotook a watchand chain. Carter had scarcely accomplished this when a man turned the corner of the street and came toward him. Carter shrank back in the shadow of a building and waited for the man to pass. Instead

| would make ‘“*Rex” or king.

of this, however, the man lay down on a stoop a few yards away. Carter wait- | ed some time, but as the man did not move he cagae to the conclusion that he must beasleep. Then Carter slipped out | of the shadow, an@ going up to Mr. Dib- lin discovered that he was dead. Sobered by the horrible discovery and fear of the consequences, he threw the revolver from him. Then he took Mr. Diblin’s watch and a few of the notes aad placed them in the pockets of the sleeping man. It was a devilish act.

“Carter did not know till afterward who it was that he had so cruelly in-

; Jured. He tried, he said, to make what

reparation he could by helping Clarkson to escape from

m prison, providing him

with money and a disguise and helping him ont of the country. Johannesburg is as much excited about the confession as it was about the crime, and every one is now asking, ‘Where is Thomas Clark- son” But that isa question no one seems able to answer. He has vanished as completely as if the earth had swallowed him up. If he is still in the land of the living, the newspapers will soon reach his eye, and he will learn that he need no longer skulk about in hiding, but that he is free toreturn to Johannesburg whenever he wishes.”

So that was why Dick Carter, a stran- ger, had helped him to escape and done so much for him. Why had he never suspected the reason before? He read the newspaper account over and over again that bright Christmas afternoon. Each time, it seemed, it brought hima greater, deeper joy. The iron was lifted from his soul, the deadening weight frow his breaking heart.—Philadelphia Times

on the Cross of Jesus. Pilate

The “Title” The tablet or ‘‘titulus” which

| set up over the cross of our Saviour after

the crucifixion is said to have been found in Jerusalem by Helen, the mother of Constantine the Great, and by her con-

| veyed to Rome, where it was long pre

served in the Church of the Holy Cross. After many years of wars, plagues, famine and general devastation this all important relic was lost sight of, but was again brought te view when the above named church was undergoing re- pairs in the year 1492, being found hid- den away ina chest in the vaulted root of the building. A wood cut of this “title” in the possession of the editor shows it to correspond with the state- ment of St. John in every particular. Conformably to ancient custom the characters are to be read from right to left. The Hebrew portion is inscribed

| first, then the Greek and last the Latin. | | The Hebrew letters are the smallest and

the Latin the most distinct. The word

| *Nazarenus’—‘‘the Nazarene”—is sur-

prisingly plain. The R and E are also distinct, and these, with an X added One thing usually overlooked in reading the words, “Jesus of Nazareth, king of the Jews.” is that it was Pilate’s scoffing implication that the “King of Kings” had suffered death for treason against Roman sover eigns.—St. Louis Republic.

Just why people should risk their lives to this dread disease and go to great expense afterwards to check it, it is hard to conceive. It is much easier prevented than cured, Throat troubles and severe colds are its usual forerunners.

Julius Caesar ii the year 45 B.C There were = 3oi,

360 and 365 days in the Greek year a! different times, Uu- der Numa the Ro- man year had 355 days, and there was so much variance between the civil and the astronomical year that the au- celebrated in th

tumn feasts were spring, and those of harvest in mild winter. Every second year ‘4n ©xtra

month, called Mereedonius, was added This month had no certain length, but was arranged by the pontiffs, as the; saw fit, which naturally gave rise t corruptions and fraud, interfering with the duration of office and the collec- tion of debts, In order to restore tne seasons to their proper months it was necessary for Caesar’to make the yea! in which he inaugurated the change contain 445 days. On the hypothesis hat the astroncmical year consisted of 365 1-2 days, he had each fourth year contain 366 days and the others 865. The extra day was added to the 24th of February, which was ¢a led Sexto-calendas, being the sixth before the calendo, or Ist of Marc, celebrated in honor of the expulsion of the kings. The additional day was placed next t this feast and known as Bis-sexte- calendas

But this year of Caesar was too tong by 11 minutes and 13.95 seconds, 9: about three days in 40) yea’s, s» that by A.D., 1582, the error amounted t ten days. To correct this miscalculation, Pope Gregory XIill. ordered that Oct 5, 1582, should be known a3 Oct. 1), 1582, and to prevent a recurrence 0! the error it was arrange] that thre intercalary days should be Omitted ij four centuries—that is, one in each cen-
