THE OFFICIAL
r
ox mi: Titnx I
A tall well dressed young man j
carrying a brown roat and a brown
valise entered a first-class compart-
ment of the London train Placing
his bag and coat in the rack over the
corner seat he left the compartment
and walked along the station buffet I
The train he was traveling by to '
London was known as the Millionaire j
Special for it ran from a popular sea-1
pide resort where lived a number of
wealthy men who were In the habit J
of traveling up to town several times
each week I
While H Murchiston — for such
was the name on the bag — was In t lie
buffet the train began to fill up 1
Presently a porter Jerked his head
Into the room
‘‘Three more minutes" he remark-
ed curtly
Mr Muchiston emptied his glass
and walked along until he caught
sight of the brown roat No one had
taken his seat hut five other places
were occupied the coach being on the
corridor system He produced a cig-
arette ease and helped himself from
it Then he searched the j-ocket of
his jacket
“Match sir?” remarked the gen-
tleman next to him
“Thanks” replied Murchinston
lighting his cigarette at the proffer-
ed blazy 4
“Mine must be in my overcoat” he
added reflectively (and then reached
up to ‘be rack
He pulled down the coat stared
at it for a second and then made an
excited grab for the bag For a brief
moment be examined it and then a
hasty ejaculation burst from his lips
and at the same time the guard's
w histle sounded
Murchiston opened the door of the
compartment with a swift motion
“HI!” he cried to a porter
The man ran up to Murchiston
thrust the bag and coat into his hand
‘‘Take ’em to the cloak room" he
said The train was on the move
“Name of Murchiston" He shut the
door and leaned out the window
‘‘There’s been a mistake I’ll write"
Then he sank into the seat
“Phew!" he muttered aloud "I
ought to have sent ’em to the
‘Guard”
The other passengtrs were glanc-
ing at him curiously and presently he
gazed round with a smile
“A nice muddle” he remarked ‘T
put my coat and bag down In the lob-
by of the Grand while I went to see
the manager and I must have picked
up some one else's or he picked up
mine”
“1 should have stuck to those un-
til 1 got my own If I’d been you” re-
marked one of the other passengers
’H'm! 1 never thought of that"
Murchiston exclaimed ruefully “1
didn't seem to have time to think It
all happened in such a hurry"
"I suppose there was nothing in
your own bag to warrant any one tak-
ing it purposely?" asked another of
the passengers
Murchiston smiled “So there
was only a dress suit some linen and
a suit of pajamas" he replied
"I'll wire from London" he went
on "I'd better wire to the hotel and
the cloak room as well I should think
Its beastly awkward"
The other passengers began to
open their newspapers while Mur-
rhinston sat staring out of the win-
dow Suddenly a girl came to the
door opening out of the corridor and
stared up at both racks
The occupants of the compartment
gazed rather appreciatively for she
was exceedingly pretty though very
plainly dressed Her face wore a
puzzled expression and her eyes were
very plaintive
”1 beg your pardon" she said In a
soft cultured voice "but have any
of you gentleman seen a brown coat
and a brown bag?”
The passengers turned with one
accord and stared at Murchiston who
was gazing blankly at the girl
"Great Scott!” he gasped
‘‘Did you put them In the rack?”
be asked
"Yes over a corner seat I went
to get some papers and returned to
the compartment In which 1 thought
1 had placed my bug and coat After
the train had started I took down the
bag and found to my astonishment
that neither that nor the coat belong-
ed to me”
"W-w-what did you do with
them?” Sputtered Murchiston
“They are In the rack In the next
compartment” she repled
"They're mine for a dollar" ex-
claimed Murchiston "I'll go and ex-
amine them"
He jumped up and hurried into
the next compartment A moment or
two later he returned with the bag
and coat
"Yes they are mine” he said
‘‘But where are mine?" asked the
girl anxiously
"I am exceedingly sorry” he said
“but I concluded that 1 had brought
some one else's belonging from the
Grand Hotel and I gave them to a
porter to take and put it In the cloak
room”
"Oh" gasped the girl
She gazed plaintltively at Murchis-
ton for a moment and then collapsed

on a vacant seat and begun to cry
The men regarded her anxiously
each wondering what he could do
but they all seemed helpless
"Was there anything of value in
the bag?" asked Murchiston sudden-
ly "Was it money my dear young
lady?”
"Yes” site answered In low tones
shrinking back Into her seat
‘T have been a governess to some
children In a gentleman's house My
brother In Canada wrote over to say
that he had made a home for me and
my mother and it was arranged for
us to sail tonight My employer was
very generous and he added to my
salary to what was due to me so as
to make the sum of $30 He also
gave me a first-class ticket to London
”1 had a little money by me so 1
was able to put the whole $30 away
untouched and I packed It with $20
which I saved In my bag Now 1 have
lost the whole $50 1 haven't enough
to purchase my ticket to Liverpool
And mother has ordered a lot of
things we want which my money was
going to pay for"
"Perhaps you can advance this
young lady the $50” suggested the
man opposite Murchiston "Then
she could give you permission to ob-
tain her bag open It and extract the
$50 and mall that and the coat out
to Canada"
"By Jove! That's a grand Idea”
cried Murchiston jumping front his
feet
"No no: I couldn't think of It”
exclaimed the girl
"But I Insist” said Murchiston
adding: “It Is very likely — er — that
I shall be paying a visit to Canada in
the near future I could perhaps
bring your coat and bag to you"
He glanced nervously at the girl
his admiration obvious and she col-
ored to the roots of her hair whilst
some of the passengers winked
knowingly at each other Murchis-
ton glanced up quickly however and
glared Indignantly at them
He unlocked his bag and then
smote the leather Impatiently with
his flenched fist
‘‘By George! I forgot" he ex-
claliml He turned to the girl a somewhat
sheepish expression on his face
“I'm awfully sorry" he said "I
had a fair amount of spare monew
but yesterday evening I bought some
presents for my people and I've got
scarcely anything left until I get to
my home”
"I live In Yorkshire” he went on
“and by the time I get there youwlll
be at Liverpool
“Of course I knew I hadn’t got
$50 but I thought 1 had a fair bit he
muttered
‘I'd foigotten those confounded
presents"
"Oh piedse it doesn’t matter"
protested the girl ‘T couldn't have
taken the money from you anyhow”
The man in the corner opposite
Murchiston cleared his throat
"It seems a great pity that this
young lady and her mother should be
bo Inconvenienced owing to the mis-
fortune error" he said "If you four
gentlemen are willing to do the same
I will subscribe $10 This young
lady can sign a document empower-
ing us to abstractive $50 from her
bag and we can then send the latter
on”
‘I say” exclaimed Murchiston
“that's awfully good of you"
The man In the corner favored
him with a frigid stare aB much as
to say that he was assisting the girl
not Murchiston causing the latter to
color and to Btammer incoherently
"I will subscribe for one" said an
old gentiman taking out of his poc-
ket book and abstracting two $5 not-
es In a few minutes the $50 was
made up what time the girl had been
staring from one passenger to the
other her face crimson
"Oh no no” she cried suddenly
"I couldn't thing of taking your mon-
ey" "My dear young lady" said the
old gentiman "it is merely a loan"
"Oh I don't know what to say”
murmured the girl her pretty face
scarlet "Your kindness is too great
for ordinary thanks"
"Don't worry my dear” said the
old gentleman in kindly tones "We
quite understand how you feel”
Her hand trembled visibly as she
signed the document and then she
wrote her address In Canada
Murchiston leaned over so that he
could see what she had w ritten It I

was "Violtt Wlnton 160 Tkoii St
Winnipeg" Some of the passeng-I
ers grinned as they saw him furtive-I
lv copying it onto the margin of a
new-paper
“We’d better all tmot at the oth r '
'end" said the man in the corner ”1
i shall be going down by the 5 o’clock
train this atternoon"
I Tills was the favorite return tre!n
and there was nothing t 'irprisingly
In the fact that the other passengers
were also going down on It !
' "Then we'd hotter u‘l meet at the i
‘other end at the cloak room" the
man in the corner remarked
1 "I'll come too" cried Murchiston I
"You'll want me because the tilings
are in my name” ' i
When tile 4 o'clock train arrived
at its destination that evening the!
five subscribers made their way to the I
cloak room I
"Where's Murchiston?" asked one
"Haven't seen him" replied Hie I
man in t lie corner "Too much trou-1
I hie to come down when there's no
longer a pretty girl In the case I ex-
pect” I
They entered the cloak room and
the man in the corner made the clerk I
aware of their business
"Tlie coat and bag that were hand-
ed out of the 1 1) o’clock — name of I
Murchiston" repeated the official
"Mr Murchiston has been and got
’em fame down by the 1:45"
"He's taken them?" exciulmed the
man in the corner blinking his eyes
"Yep”
"Did he leave any message?” -
"He said if anyone came and ask-
ed for the thinks I was to give ’em
his best thanks”
That night "Miss Wlnton” faced
"Murchiston” in a room In a Dieppe
hotel
"It’s a pity we didn't make It more
Dolly” he murmured "They would
have brassed up When we’re
through with this you’d better work
the stranded English girl wheeze In
Paris like we did In Berlin”

MAX— AX INVOCATION
— By Elbert Hubbard
My heart goes out to you O man
because 1 cannot coucelve of any be-
ing greater nobler more heroic
more tenderly loving unselfish and
enduring than are you
All the love I know is man’s love
All the forgiveness I know is man’s
forgiveness All the sympathy I
know )g man’s sympathy And hence
I address myself to man — to you —
and you would I serve
The fact that you are a human be-
ing brings you near to me — It is the
bond that unites us
I understand you because you are
a part of myself
You may like me or not — it makes
no difference: If ever you need niy
help I am with you
Often we can help each other most
by leaving each other alone at oth-
er times we need the hand grasp and
the word of cheer I ant only a man
— a mere man — but In times of lone-
liness think of me as one who lover
his kind
What your condition Is In life will
not prejudice me either for or against
you What you have done or not
done will not weigh In the scale
If you have been wise and prudent
I congratulate you unless you are
unable to forget how wise and good
you are then I pity you
If you have stumbled and fallen
and been mired in the mud and you
have failed to he a friend to yourself
then you of all people need friend-
ship 1 am the friend of convicts
Insane people and fools — successful
and unsuccessful college bred and
Illiterate
You all belong to tny church 1
could not exclude you if I would
The spirit of love that flows
through me and of which I am a
part is your portion too The race
is one and we trace to a common di-
vine ancestry
I offer you no reward for being
loyal to me and surely I do not
threaten you with pain penalty and
dire ill fortune If you are Indifferent
to me
You cannot win me by praise or
adulation You cannot shut my
heart toward you even tho you re-
vile me
Only the good can reach me and
no thought of love you send me can
be lost or missent
All the kindness you feel for me
should be given to those nearest you
and It shall all be passed to your
credit for you yourself are the rec-
ord of your thoughts and no error
can occur in the count
Always and forever my friendship
shall follow you yet never Intrude
I do not ask you to incur obliga-
tions or make promises There are
no dues 1 do not demand that you
shall do this and not do that I is-
sue no commands
I cannot lighten your burdens and
perhaps I should not even if I could
for men grow stronger through bear-
ing burdens If I can I will show
you how to acquire strength to meet
all your difficulties and face the du-
ties of the day
It is not for me to take charge of
your life for surely I do well If I
look after one person — myself
If you err It is not for me to pun-
Ish you We are punished by our
sins not for them
Soon or late you will see tha t to
do right brings good and to do the
wrong brings misery but you will
abide by nature's laws and all good
things will be yours I cannot change
these laws — 1 cannot mak3 you ex-
empt from your own blunders and
mistakes
And you cannot change the eternal
laws for me even though you die for
me
But perhaps I can point you the
pathway that leads to love truth
and usefulness and this I want to do
And then by pointing you the wuy
I will And it myself

THE FEASANT GIRL
OF DOMItEMY
—By Rev Thos B Gregory
Joan of Arc began her famous
march on Orleans 4 85 years ago
On the throne of what was left of
France sat as If In mockery of his
royal office the young weakling
known as Charles the Seventh a
man without energy without even
ordinary self-respect The political
situation was pathetic Everything
north and east of the Loire was Eng-
lish and Orleans hotly beseiged by
the enemy front across the channel
seemed doomed
And Orleans was the last French
stronghold With Orleans gone all
was gone The fortunes of the coun-
try were at their very lowest ebb
The fighting men were exhausted
and France stood face to face with
national extinction
Then It was that three women had
stepped out of the shadows Into the
limelight — Mary of Anjou the queen
Agnes Sorel the courtesan and Joan
of Arc the wonderful "Maid of Or-
leans” Mary and Agnes forced the Irreso-
lute king to hold his ground at Or-
leans thereby anchoring as It were
the French cause when it was begin-
ning to drift upon the reefs of des-
truction while In the meantime Joan
started out for the rescue of the
hard-pressed city Seting out on the
25th she entered Orleans on the 29
and by the 7th of May the siege was
raised
Orleans was saved The English
Invasion that hud threatened to en-
gulf all France began Immediately
to recede and the haughtest nation
on the footstool saw Its mailed hosts
falling back before the genius and
valor of a young peasant girl
Following one another in rapid
succession came the brilliant victor-
ies of Jergeau Troyes and Fatay
culminating in the coronation at
Rhclms of the king whose kingdom
had been so gloriously saved
Burned to death in the market
place at Rouen May 30 1431 Joan
left a name that can perish only with
the extinction of the human race It-
self and here is one of most famous
names on earth More has been writ-
ten about her than of any other per-
son in history Napoleon alone ex-
cepted For nearly half a tnillenium the
world has read her story In sheer
wonderment and as for the special-
ists In psychology they will never
have done will their theories concern-
ing the pretty country girl who de-
feated the greatest captains cf her
time and by the power of her per-
sonality inspired a nation with the

energy that was to save it from des-
truction We probably will never know the
real truth about Joan's character
Was she the victim of hallucinations
or did she simply resort to the "re-
velations” as a ruse by which she
might the more effectually brace up
and encourage her down-hearted
countrymen? We do not know but
we do know this that the peasaift
girl of Domrey saved France from
being wiped off the map by the ad-
vancing tide of English ambition
