At the same time I do not Relieve in
slow driving, writes T. De Witt Talmage in the July Ladies' Home Journal.
There, is no more virtue in driving
slow thaa in driving fast, any more
than a freighti train, going ten miles an
hour is better than an express train going fifty. There is a delusion abroad
iu the world that a thing must be necessarily good and Christian if it is slow
and dull and plodding. There are very^j
good people who seem to imagine it is
hunibly pious to drive a spavined,galled,
glandered, spring-halted, blind, staggered jade. There is not so much virtue in a Rosinante as there is in a
Bucephalus. At the pace some people
drive, Elijah, with his horses of fire,
would have taken three weeks to get
into heaven. We want swifter horses,
and swifter men,and swifter enterprises,
and the church of God needs to get off
its jog trot. Quick tempests, quick
lightnings, quick streams, why not
quick horses? In time of war the ct\v-
ulry service does the most execution;
and as the battles of the world are probably not all past, our Christian patriotism demands that we be interested in
equinal velocity. We might as well
have poorer guns in our arsenals, and
clumsier ships in our navy-yards, than
other nations, as to have under our
cavalry saddles, and befors our artillery, slower horses,

The average boy is very apt to risk
his life and health In many ways in
summer, When unrestrained, he takes
a great many more ohanees than he
would otherwise do. The chief danger
to life and health of boys who spend
the summer in the country is from overexertion in sports, and by indulging in
toomuoh swimming. The exhilaration
of country life makes them feel that
they can do more than their strength
admits of. This is equally true of city
boys who get a day or two off from their,
work. The best way to do is to take
exercise moderately. If a boy is not
used to long walks, he should begin his
summer outing with an easy jog$along
some pleasant road for only a mile or
two. By inoreasmg the distance gradually each day,it willuot be long before
he can do ten or fifteen miles, or twenty
for that matter, without digcomfort,and
in reality making a positive gain to his
health, This rule applies equally well
to horseback and bicycle riding, rowing, and other work boys may be unaccustomed to.
One of the chief and health ful amusements of a summer outing is bathing,-
hut theve. i§ no part of the visit where
the danger Is so great as in going in
swimming too often, aud at times when
the water is too cold. Not a summer
passes that thousands of hoys are not
permanently injured hy going in swimming ut times wlvon they should not do
so. The waves on tho seashore, the
running streams, and the fresh water
lakes are very enticing on holidays.

away! The motion was like a stalled

into the stove oven when the kitchen
doorway was darkened by the entrance
of John Hardy, her husband.
"Is supper ready?" he asked.
No word of greeting further; no
word of praise for the pretty, flushed
face—nothing but careless glance at
the pan of crisp, brown muffins she
was carrying to a side table.
Without glancing np she answered,
"In a few moments, John."

The burning of Chicago will ever
furnish food for thought. It marked a
new era in the history of the city.
Within twenty years Chicago has
sprung from ashes, ruin and desolation
into the grandest city, architecturally,
in the world, and reigns, ^flay, more
truly than §YeV? "The Queen of tie
Nor^h. an.fl the West." The figures, iu
the opinion of the writer, that best e: -
press tho magnitude of this greatest of
all disasters are these:
No. of acres, burned per hour, 125!
No. of buildings destroyed per hour,
1000!
No. of people rendered homeless per
hour, 6000!
Property destroyed at the rate of a
million dollars every five minutes, all
night aud all day!
To one viewing this mighty scene
from a point of vantage, it must have
been at once the most grand and awful
speptagle man over looked npon. Fortunately this great historic event has
been fittingly placed upon canvas,
where all may see and better understand the scope of this disaster. Prom
all accounts, the artists have been very
successful in their work, having from
the inspiration of the hour grandly conceived and s,pen.(Udly worked out the
whole sgene, and by the aid of newly
devisedmeohanicaland electrical effects
they have given a wonderful sense of
reality to the whole that is at once a
surprise aud delight to every visitor.
The Cyclorama of theChigago Fire will
remain in the city on Michigan Ave,,
near Madison St., as a permanent ut-
tractiou,and it is something every man,
woman and child should/see.
The pretty woman, unused, to flattery br deference, gazed steadily at
him.
"Why should I? I think it more
Christian-like to breakfast at this hour
than at daylight. If God hadintended
people to begm the day before sunrise
He would have made the sunrise earlier."
A simple remark a child might have
made but her evident innocence disarmed him. She was no woman to be
beguiled by pretty speeches, and his
plan to be entertaining to this guileless creature came to naught—for the
time. She waited quietly on him each
morning, speaking no word unless
pressed.
"She is not a fool but she seems to
have no soul," was his mental calculation.

The summer waned.
Why did Lucille's step lag and why
had her pink face lost its bloom? He*
was to go away! Yes, it had come to
this—that this man with the red-brown
hair "and the beautiful voice, brown
eyes, suave manners and polished address—this man had wakened the marble Galatea into life!
He was no artist but he had the soul
of one. He was only a-young, city
broker out for a summer holiday, but
he had looked deeply into the soul of

in, sat down, and silently proceeded
to eat, helping himself, not noticing
the face opposite.
"Another cup of coffee."
She gave it to him.saying anxiously,
"Does everything suit you?"
"Yes. Oh, yes," he answered carelessly. Still no word of praise. Her
face became downcast. What a fool
she was to expect praise for anything
she did she wearily told herself as she
set the dining-room in order. Her
husband was at the door again: "Lucille, have a bed ready when'I come
back; I'm going to the depot for our
new hoarder^1
"New boarder! Oh, John, to-night?"
"Yes," and his shadow disappeared
from the doorway.
And this was her first intelligence of
the fact that John had taken a Doarder
for the summer. Oh, why had he not
told her sooner? But this was John's
way in all things—not to make a confidant of her—and with leaden feet she
went up to the "spare-room" to array
the bed in sheets, etc. Otherwise it
was always in order. After fresh water had been brought and fresh towels
laid out she gave a last weary glance
around, then descended to the kitchen
again. Of course the stranger would
want supper.
"I am so tired of it all," she sighed.
And yet why was she weary and tired?
She was the healthy young wife of a
prosperous young farmer. Either
Lucille Evans should not have married
a farmer or else she should have been
educated with the idea of being a
farmer's wife. She was a village girl,
having had all the exaggerated ideas
of such girls of the sweets of farm life.
John Hardy had thought her extremely pretty and had thought she would
become an excellent manager and capital housekeeper—under his tuition.
If he was satisfied she had become the
two latter in a spiritless, plodding
way, unlike what the blithesome Lucille had been two years ago.
Before she had rekindled theiire the
spring wagon was heard to stop. As
she hastily blew the pine into a blaze
her husband's voice sounded:
"Lucille, Mr. Bellairs must have
supper."
"Indeed, no." And Lucille got
slowly up from her knees and turned
about. Never had she heard sueh a
singularly sweet voice. Mr. Bellairs
had taken in the situation at a glance.
The wife was the servant here. He
would rather go to bed hungry than
addjto her toil.
"My wife,'' .John had the grace to
say.
Mr. Bellairs bowed, aild Lucille
looked at him dreamily. Ah! here
was a knight!
"I want nothing so much as a bed.
I dined at 7 and wish for nothing more
till breakfast."
"The room is quite ready," she said
in a low, gentle voice. John took up
a lamp and Mr. Bellairs bowed "goodnight,"
He glanced hastily about his 'room.
Everything was exquisitely neat and
fragrant, bnt he mentally resolved
that his own strong feet and hands
should pump water and do all that was
necessary for his own comfort. Then
he gazed curiously at John. "An ox,"
he inwardly decided. But in this he
was wrong. John was like the majority of eastern farmers. Shrewd, sensible, well-read in newspapers, progressive on the farm, but totally misunderstanding a woman's life and a woman's work.
"I always try to conform to the rules
of the house where I board. Do you
breakfast at an unearthly hour?" he
laughed.
John answered seriously:   "Oh, no,
we breakfast just at day."
Mr. Bellairs receded.
"I had thought S o'clock early."
"It may be for you but not for us.
However, my wife will see that you
have your breakfast at any hour you
wish."
"I could not thinlc ," he was beginning, but John was closing the door
on his retreating form.
It was 8 o'clock the next morning
when Mr. Bellairs opened the dining-
room door where Lucille sat .shelling
Eeas. She glanced up quietly and he
owed gravely.
"I am truly sorry I am so late," he
murmured, guiltily feeling that he was
not sorry a bit..
"Oh, ray husband told me you would
not want breakfast till 8. fl you will
kindly sit down I will wait on you."
"But tell me, do you not really think
I am a savage?"

was harsh, cold", indifferent and unap
preciative and the wife stultified by a
monotonous* round of soul-narrowing
household duties.
The day of the parting came. He
held her hands close. "Good-by, Mrs.
Hardy.   I'll be back next summer."
She hung her head like a shy schoolgirl; but it was not shyness, it was the
sickness of despair that bent her neck,
but she spoke no word. Careless man
of the world that he was, her dejection
moved him.
"If ever I can serve you—if ever you
need aid, appeal to me."
She wrenched her hands free.
"It is hardly probable that Lucille*]
Hardy will need your aid.   Go—and
good-by."
"Proud to the last and yet I could
have sworn she had grown to like me."
Ah! thank God  for   that woman's
pride that enables her to hide so much
and to set the world at defiance!
Lucille crept up to her room and lay
on the lounge for hours, but she uttered
no sigh and madenomoan.only looked
out the window with wide-open, tearless eyes.
"Surely he did not read my secret—
surely he did not go away'believing
that I love him. And yet, "i do, olj, I
do, and God knows how I am to live
all my days without seeing him."
Her husband never dreamed- of tha
sleepless nights of tearless agony she
spent by his  side while he slept the
sleep of  the just.   For months   she
went   about pale   and  thin, but her
hours of thinking were developing her.
She was beginning to be less afraid of
her husband.   One day she said:
"John, I must have hooks to read."
"Why?" he asked laconically.
"Because I wish them," she answered
firmly.
"Do you have time to read?" he asked
severely.
"I shall make time."
He  was astounded,* but the books
were procured.
"I must read and study that I may
become a companion for him," she
thought. But the summer came and
went and Mr. Bellairs came not.
At the end of two years she said:
"John, I shall get a piano."
He was astonished again. "Lucille,
you are becoming extravagant. You
know very well I am not a rich man."
"I realize that quite well, nevertheless. I have helped you to accumulate what riches yon possess and am
just as much entitled to a piano for
my amusement as you are to costly
machinery that will lessen your labor."
Was this logician the gentle, sul>-
missive and uncomplaining wife of two
years ago?
But the piano came and Lucille renewed her music, learned in her girlhood.
The fourth summer John told her
Mr. Bellairs wished to return, for he
had, unconsciously to himself, begun
to consult his wife in all things.
"In that case I must have a servaut.
I do not care to become a dining-room
maid for city gentlemen."
So Mr. Bellairs, jaded and wearied,
came to this peacefulhome once more.
"Perhaps I shall find nepenthe here,"
he told himself, remembering with
satisfaction the ill-concealed grief of
Lucille at their partingfour years ago.
But the winsome-faced girl had vanished and in her place was a stately
woman as well dressed as any in his
own circle and as quietly refined.
When he came down to breakfast a
chubby country girl waited on him
and at" night his hostess entertained
him witli good music and charming
■ conversation. "I've half a mind to
fall In love with her now," he said, aa
he went to bed.
"Thank God, the scales have fallen
from my eyes," she said, "for I know
that I shall never meet that god-like
man who is my ideal, and I shall in
time even become contented with that
which I have. It is so sad to ,know
that all our love, all our despair\all
our sufferiug must end thus. TSat
happiness is a chimera and content
only found in ministering to others. |I
can be content now to be John's cook.
But she laid her fair face on he;
dimpled arms and looked sadly im
the sad violet eyes that peered at her
from the glass before her.
