I Collaborate with Betty
By Campbell B Cas ad
After an absence of four weeks I
was again at Bettys side For a mo-
ment I stood In her cosy little sitting
room admiring her
By Jove Betty I at length cried
I have an idea
How extraordinary
I was thinking that we might col-
laborate I hesitated
Good gracious on what
Oh a lot of things I replied but
first and foremost on a play A regu-
lar romantic drama What do you
sayOh
Oh Im game When shall we be-
gin
At once I eagerly replied
Very well Run Into the library
and get a pencil and paper
And now for tho scenario I cried
emerging triumphant with the re-
quired writing materials
Whats tho first act to be she
demanded
Let me see Oh yes the scene is
at the seashore say Atlantic City
Betty looked suspiciously at me
How very peculiar she mur-
mured
Peculiar Why
Nothing only that Is where wo
first met But go on
v The heroine of our play I began
as if reading from a written descrip
tion is a beautiful young girl with
hair of spun gold eyes of azure blue
teeth of pearly whiteness and a form
soStop
Stop Slop Betty commanded
Where on earth do you suppose you
can find anyone of this description to
play the part she continued Why
theres not a woman allvo beautiful
enough to fill the requirements of
your heroine
My dear Betty I replied bestow
ing my languishing look my heroine
is not an imaginative one She is an
actual portraiture of a living breath-
ing mortal
She must be a peach quoth Betty
I should like to see her she con-
cluded
Would you Well perhaps I can
show her to you I replied meaningly
How jolly she innocently cried
When
At once If you care to see her
Of course I do
Then kindly step this way I an
nounced in formal tones as I took her
arm and gravely led her before a large
plateglass mirror at ono end of tho
room There I stopped and ceremon-
iously cried
Madam behold the divinity of our
playMr
Mr Wlnton you are a silly goose
sho assured mo but in spite of her as
sumed indifference I noticed that her
cheeks flushed while sho bestowed a
look on me that caused the wildest
sort of palpitation of my rather sus
ceptible heart She was irresistible
and I leaned forward to clasp her in
my arms but she discerned ray pur-
pose and eluded me Bounding into
the other room sho laughingly called
to me
Come come Harry we must
write our play before we enact it And
now for the hero What manner of
man is he to be
Its up to you I replied to select
him since you are the heroine
Well suppose we say that he is
a very daik impetuous young person
about 22 with great serious blown
eyes and a cute little mustache in the
Incubator stage of Its existence in
fact Master Harry slnco you have
been so generous In bestowing my
particular sljle of beauty on the
heroine it Is only fair to invest the
hero with all your manly attributes
Sho dodged behind a large library
chair just in time to escape the play-
ful onrush I made for her
Well lets see the hero meets her-
on tho beach Instantly he experi-
ences a strange thrill I explain
gazing rapturously into her eyes
Can It be love he feels tingling at his
heartstrings Now what about the
heroine
Yes what about her
Well joure a woman and eun
analyze her feelings better than I I
slyly replied hoping that the girl
might inadvertently betray her senti-
ments toward me
Very well sho agreed glviug me-
a defiant look At first she pays no
attention to him but when he becomes
too persistent sho wonder who tho
cheeky young masher is
Oh I say Betty thai not fair I
vehemently protested
But this is only a play sho aichly
replies giving mo a covert glance
Bless me so it is l reply but
to continue he gains an introduction
through a mutual friend and every-
thing seems smooth sailing But alas
ho finds out on bettfi u nuulutaiire
that sho is a heartless coquette
Sir This lime it is Betty alio is
vexed
In the play I calmly continue
Oh
Tho climax of the act comes when
she leaves for New York in an auto-
mobile accompanied by the heros
rivalNow
Now Harry I protest he was cot
tho heros rival tho adorable protests
with spirit
But this is In tho play I again
assure her
Well I dont like it even In the
playAll
All right Ill let you try your hand
on the cext act I concede
Where does it take placp she
asks In the auto that has broken down
half nay to New York
Really Harry on second thought
I believe that you had better write
this act You have such a vivid ini t
agination you know j
Do Vou think so I ask Well
then hows this As the machine jss
hopelessly out of order to avoid af
scandal he suggests that they hunt up
a minister and get married
Which suggestion she emphatically
declines to agree to Betty breaks in
Why I query with assumed inno-
cence The reason is made known in thq
last act she replies with irritating
evasiveness but to continue While
they are plunged in despair a lifesaj
ing countryman seated in a rickets
farm wagon makes his appearance
and take3 them in tow In this man
tier they reach the city and the ac
closes
Rather weak dont you think
ask in disappointment
Oh I dont know The last act if
the strong one
The action takes place in the
heroines homo and the setting is iden-
tical with these rooms Tho hero
after a months absence has called
on her for the first time He is very
moody and as the conversation is far
from animated suggests that they
write a play
At this moment the doorbell rings
and the maid enters She announces
Mr and Mrs tnllip Annstrong
At this announcement I Jtart in sur-
prise hen angrily cry
What that chap calllig on you
And ho married too Tie nerve of
himWhy
Why yes he was erai married
when we took our automojile ride to-
gether Betty laughs Uat was one
reason that we couldnt inarry after
the accident J
One reason Then rhat pray
was the other
Ho was already my brotherin
law A
Gee whiz what a champ I am I
humbly acknowledge Jj
I think so too the wfeellng girl
tells me H
Can you over forglvea sillynllly
like mo
f
If you coax bard enotgh maybe
Betty relents
Then suppose you let me Into this
family affair I suggest
What do you mean
Suppose you give me the right to
call him brotherinlaw as well as
yourself
Do > ou think that you deserve It
she ask
Well thatstho way dl good plays
should end I explain
Then for tho sake a our play I
consent and Mr and Ms Armstrong
entering at this moment surprise two
very redfaced youngsteis fondly em-
bracing

Some years ago when Attorney Gen-
eral Moody was district attorney in
Essex county an arson case was tried
in which the late Hon H W Moulton
was one of the counsel for the defense
Among the witnesses for the prose-
cution was a boy who ifstifled that a
little after nine oclock a short time
previous to the discovery of tlio Hie
lie saw tho defendant not far from tho
building in which it started Heing
asked on crossexamination hov ho
was so sure of the time he replied
that he looked at a clod as he came
out of a store and saw that it was nine
oclock
Then he was asked if it was cus-
tomary for boys of his age to look at
clocks to see at what time they left
any store they happened to Isit
He answered My father told me
to be home before nine oclock and I
thought I would see how late it waj
Then said Mr Moiilton ve aic
to believe that jou aie no nearer tell-
ing the truth now than you were then
to minding your father
I am under oath to tell the truth

Tho scholars in this school were
frequently required to commit to mem-

poetry and this rustoin as may vpll
be imagined was looked upon with uti
mitieated contempt by the practical
minded John
On ono occasion our friend had beca
assigned the beautiful line beginning
as follows
How do I loe thee ket nv Lomit the

That Henry Hopper of 47 West
Ono Hundred and Thirtyseventh
street is an intrepid chauffeur was tho
verdict returned recently by an ad
airing jury of policemen says the
New York Times
Hopper was piloting a twoton auto-
mobile hansom down Broadway at
Thirtyeighth street On the west
side of the street ten Italians under an
Irish foreman were busy in a hole
eight feet deep and 15 feet square en-
larging a sewer pipe top Just as Hop
pers machine neared the excavation
the steering gear broke and the auto
made for the hole The Italians saw
It coming and scrambled for dear life
While they were struggling to get
out the automobile with Hopper still
la the seat crashed into a fence of
twoinch plank set upon barrels sur
rouailng the excavation The ma
chine snapped the fence and than ran
Into a second cne of equal thickness
The second fence stopped tie machine
Jast as It leaned over the holb half
ffsy In and half oay out tofreri
over the palefaced Italians who were
huddled speechless in a corner
As the machine leaned over tho hole
Hopper looked down and laughed
Come out o that he commanded
and uolp me get out o this The
ho lighted a cigarette and crossed ts
legs nonchalantly A crowd of 300
persons was soon on the scene
Twenty men tried to pull the auto
back to the street but they couldnt
budge it Then somebody got a ropa
and hitched one end to the machine
and another to a trolley car standing
near by The car backed away but
still the machine wouldnt leaie the
excavanon
Then they connected two cars and
by their combined fcrfe the hansom
was restored tothe javement
Hopper didnt want o leave his seai
while aE this was going on bat the
police nude him get down After it
was all over he jnijped to the box
again put on thepower and scooted

Lord thy God with all thy heart Mark
TIME Tuesday April A D 30
PLACE The temple court In Jeru-
salem
Thoughts on the Lesson
The commandment which Jesus
cites to the scribe is peculiar to re-
vealed religion That is only to say
in other Words that it presupposes
redemption We could not imagine
such a precept in the religion ot
Greece or of Rome and of course we
do not find it Who can love in any
conceivable sense of the word Zeus
or Poseidon Here or Athene Neither
the place they hold in the universe
nor their characters and relations to
each other nor their attitude to men
inspire any such emotion It Is often
said that love cannot bo commanded
but that has only a limited truth
Granted certain relations between per-
sons and love is demanded by tho
very nature of the case it it is awant
ing its absence is tho graves of
moral faults and brings innumerable
others in its train till it comes lit-
erally nothing can bo right James
Denney D D
Why is this tho first and greatest
commandment
1 It is greatest in its nature being
the highest and noblest act of the
soul
2 It is the sum of tho first table of
the Law
3 It has tho greatest value being
tho fountain and source of all virtue
of all love to our neighbor because it
is the consecreatlon of self to tho
Father of all good and all men Her-
bert Spencer says By no political al-
chemy can you get golden conduct out
of leaden Instincts
4 It is tho act the outgoing of the
whole nature of man It is ailinclus
Ive
5 It is the most difficult of all
things Love Is not a mere sentiment
a general good feeling towaid God
when all things go right with us but
it is a devotion to God and His cause
when that devotion makes us mar-
tyrs that enables us to trust Him in
the darkest night and say with Job
Tho Lord gave and the Lord hath
taken away blessed be the name ot
tho Lord and Though He slay mo
yet will I wait for Him
Reasons for Loving God Supremely
1 He is supremely good He is the
sum of all good Ho that loves God
loves all that is good and hates all
that is evil 2 He is not only good
but lovable His goodness is attrac-
tive it is worthy ot love 3 All we
have and are wo owe to him and the
only way In which we can make any
return is to love him and obey him in
love That is all that is ours to give
to withhold It is unutterably mean
4 Tho best thing in man is love
and God wants tho best 5 Such
love not only honors God but elevates
man Lovo is the most ennobling act
of tho soul and tho nobler and higher
tho object and the more intense the
lore so much the more is tho one who
thus loves ennobled purified enlarged
exalted in nature 6 In Him are
found all that ought to move tho high-
est affections of men
Suggestions 1 Love is tho greatest
thing in the world For an unfolding
ot this great fact see 1 Cor 13 and
read Prof Drummonds booklet The
Greatest Thing in the World
2 Love is the fulfilling or the second
table of the Law Compare The Spec-
trum of Love in Drummond illus-
trating tho description of love in 1
Cor 13 and his Programme of Chris-
tianity which is stated in Christs
own words Luke 118 tho fulfill-
ment of the Piophet Isaiahs words
Isa 611 the soul of the Old Testa-
ment and exemplified in Christs mes-
sage to John tho Baptist Matt 11
3
J By loving our neighbor we can
test and express our love to God This
is more effective than even prayers
and songs of praise though these help
to inspire and cultivate loo to God
So St John says If a man say l
love God and hateth his bi other he
is a liar for he that loteth not his
brother whom he hath seen how can
he lovo God whom he hath not scon
1 John 420
4 Love to God and lovo to man
transform earth into heaven
Compare the conditions given in tho
twentyfifth chapter of Matthew
where the good deeds enjoined are not
substitutes for faith and p er and
love and honesty but they are tho
proofs of a right heart from which all
virtues grow
Not the Amount of tho Gift but tho
Spirit ot Sacrifice Ruskin in his
Seven Lamps ot Architecture The
Lamp of Sacrifice in spcakliu of the
expense lavished on the tabernacle
says that tbo eocnant of God with
his people was marked and its ac-
ceptance signified by somo external
sigu of their love and obedience and
surrender of thcnischcs to His will
The Measure of the Gift
The measure of a gift lies not In
tho largeness of the gift but in tho
largeness of the loo and sacrifice it
expresses not tho size of tho gift but
the cost to the giver not tho number
of the sheaves or of tho measures of
fruit but the lovo and gratitude and
faith that fills them And In that
great day when we present our fruits
at tho judgment seat bomo largo
sheaves will grow larger by that meas-
ure and some will shrink into a hand
lul of halfgrown stalks and pebbles
from barren fields will glow into gein
and gold

Butchers Best Weight Guessers
Butchers arc the worlds best
weight guessers The butchers dif-
ficult trade gives him a skill in weight
guessing that is almost incredible
It is a commonplace thing in a meat
shop to sue a butcher seize hold on
a huge round of beet and slash off
with a great knife four pounds just
or two and a half pounds jnst or sis
pounds just according to the order
The buyer of meat wants to get
tho weight ho asked for no more and
no less and he wants this weight In
one piece not in one big pleco and
two or three little ones
To satisfy the buyer the butcher
has been compelled to acquire ex-
traordinary skill In judging just how
much a certain portion of a round of
meat weighs and in cutting off that
portion smoothly and accurately S

Countess Eugenia De Rilly otherwise known
as Airs George Shroter and presently the wife
of Gtorgo Shroter mining expert of Denver Col
has left Mr Shroter and is about to appeal to tho

The former countess left Mr Shroter because
ho lftused to pnd his good money to redeem
tin do Rilly estate Tho do Itllly properties and
titles are regarded as ail asset by the government
of Gieece and tho count taking the official view
of tho case had mortgaged them to the limit
ountess dc Rilly began a iuit for divorce
somo little time a u in thi city The count did
not contest and after the decree was granted the
countess ma Tt ° d Mr Shrter
Wording to tho countess Shroter is of noble
birh and could liaie a German title if he cared
to pay for it Also according to the countess
Mr Shroter rrfutPd to buy a German title or to
settle the mortgages hanging oxer the de Rilly estate in Greece
For a time Mrs Shorter bore her tribulations in silence but finally tho
refusal of her husband to buy anything in the way of a titlo angered her and
she refused to accompany him about town
She stated that he ate like a pig That his form was distinctly bad
and that he bore no resemblance to a gentleman
Mr Shroter boie this for a time aud then thero followed a scene The
beautiful countess gathered nn her dainty hklts and leaving her magnificent
apartment took up her lCbidcce c < the Hote Sexille
It is cald that she will lemain there until she has made application for

BORC UNDER NORTH RIVER COMPLETED
The first train to ran under the orth river
from Xew Yorl to Xew Jersey made Its trip the
other daj < JWy tcet from shore line to shore-
line
The two ends of the great Xorth river tun-
nel winch tho Pennsylvania road has been build-
ing nere brought together
When the two ends were connected it was
found they met In perfect alignment and the
no5t sanguine anticipations of the engineers in
charge cl the work were realized Indeed It
might be said that these anticipations were more
than realized to the ranting of the first train
tool place just one year ahead of scheduled time
i lie rapidity of the constiuction work is all
thi more remarkable because of the unforeseen
obstacles that were encountered as the work
prosnsscd The difrgeat rttk aud soil forma
tiont ihtough which tho tunnel had to be car-
ried were responsible for much unlujicedfor trouble togethe with tLe dan-
gers encountered through th tiereiag of gas pockets and ether natural hin-
drances
There still remains much detal wort to be accomplished and It will
be a long time still before the long tubes are ready for the regular traffic of
the road but the tunnel is an accomplished fact For the first time a can-
can walk dry shod from Jersey to Manhattan
Th3 work has fcsen under the narsonal direction of Charles 11 Jacobs
chief engineer It is said of hto that ha has had to do with the building of
mere tunnels than any mc now living
Soceidaa of the care they eserciced may be obtained when it Is stated
that the meetirs o the tubas proved the absolute fiawlerscess of their caP
cuUttons regarding the grade level and alignment of the tubes wiicb rsr
driven simultaneously from both eeds of the tlnsel
