Jlnrjorie Wallace represented to mo all
that was noble, generous, self-sacrificing in
womanhood. My gratitudo to her begun
when I was ten years old, nnd alio came to
the cottage tvliero my mother had bcraped
out scanty food for herself mid for mo lnngo
than my memory recalls. Sho lifted mo from
that mother's dead, cold form, when I was
sobbing out my chililMi agony, and coverili;
my tlnn, chilled limbs in her own velvet
clonic, carried me in garments ns soft and
fine as her own ; she shared every luxury of
her bjilendid homo with mo; hhogavomo
teachers lor all studies suited to my age,
As I grew to womanhood sho introduced mo
to society ns her adopted sister. Rest of all,
she loved me.
cmio was itveiiiy-iivo ttiieu sue tool; mo
home, and for eight years I can recall only
happines. 1 had no whim ungratilied, no
rea-tonablo wish crossed or denied. If I had
been indeed tho sister sho called mo sho
coulu not have lavished upon mo more, ten
der care and affection.
When I was eighteen I had a lover who
won my whole heart. I gave him love, un
consciously, and when his words showed me
what my own hensations meant I shrunk
back nhrigliled. With tho intuition of
deep, grateful affection, I knew that
Marjorie hud wrapped up her life in mine.
Sho blood utterly nlono in tho world. Her
paitl companion and housekeeper was a ma
tron of middle age, wkoso whole soul win
absorbed in preserves, pickles ami crochet
work. In her loiioliucss sho had taken mo
into her great, nohlo heart, and when I left
her I knew I should leave, her desolate.
So I shrunk back from llio avowal that
was such an ccstacy of delight.'such a hitler
self-reproach. 1 thought I had coiumcrod
nil (races of emotion in my face us I went
from tho garden where tto had walked my
lover and myself lo Marjorio's sitting
room. Rut she looked into my fueo, willi
her soft beautiful eyes i-hailowed by n troub
led inquiry.
"Jlavo you ipiarreled with Stephen ?" she
a.skctl.
"No I hnvo not quarreled we that is
I do not think ho will come again."
For tho first time sho frowned sternly.
"Is it possible that you nre that baso triflor,
a eoipiette," sho said, in a voice full of in
dlgiiation, "that you 'have led Stephen to
believe that you loved him only from vanity,
and have njected his honest, trim lovo?"
In my deep palu that sho could so mis
judge mo I nobbed out the truth that I lovctl
Stephen, hut that it seemed to mo a baso in
gratitude to desert her.
"Child I child !" she said, eonly, gather
ing mo in her arms. "Heaven forbid your
life, should bo sacrificed to me I Did you
ever Hear among our friends of my lovo
story?"
"Never I" I Haid earnestly. "Rut I knew
thero was a great grief in your llfo at some
time. I could ceo it in your eyes, even in
your smile. It is tender and sweet, but
never Joyous."
"When I was your age," sho said, greatly
stroking my hand as sho spoko, "I was
as light hearted us a bird, My orphanhood
was an event so long past that I have no re
collection of my parents j but my unclo was
father and dear companion tome. Ho was
a wealthy man, and gavo mo every mlvaii'
tago that wealth can bestow. And when
Arnold llalcombo"
I started at (lint name, but Murjorlo did
not notice, continuing her story i "wooed
mo for his wife, Undo Charlen mado no ob
jection, though my lover was u poor man,
ypi w fillip flf It
compared lo mv uncle. Wn worn vn tmn. '
py lu those days, very happy I Arnold was a
true, noblo man, one to whom love Wh?
sacred word, a woman's heart n sacred trust.
Wo had been betrothed nearly six mouths
when Undo Charles decided to accept an
invitation to spend a week with some city
friends (o glvo mo an opportunity to do
shopping, for In tho spring I was to bo
Arnold Halcombe's wife. Wo started off
gnyly, nnd spent a most delightful week In
London. Uncle Charles was a resident thero
during several years beforo ho retired from
business, and could tako mo (o visit all
points of interest. Wo mado largo purchases
for my bridal outfit, and returned homo.
"Alas I wo returned, mourning heavily,
where wo had left so gayly. Upon our trip
from the city Undo Charles, lu some way,
mado a false step upon the plntform from a
railway carriage, ami fell, injuring himself
so severely Hint Immediate, amputation of
both loss became necessary. It was In mv
power then to repay tho devotion und caro
that had been lavished upon me, and I
faithfully endeavored lo nllevlnio my dear
if. .1 1
until: n suueriiigs in every way in
power.
r. . ,i i ... .
my
ii was men, near, mat my Heart was
torn as yours is to-day. The basest ingrati
tude seemed to me involved in my marriage,
necessitated n divided duty, even if my
iitisuatHl would consent to livo here. That,
Ion, I hesitaled to ask for, as you know tho
Hlo Here will better suit a retired, elderly
man or woman, than a young, ambitious as
pirant for tho world's honors and profits. So
l mado my choice. "
"Rut your cholcovas to remain with your
uncle.
"Yes, dear, I remained hero. Arnold
llalcombo, tho noblest man I ever knew, did
not make my duty harder by anger nt his
dismissal. vcry sadly ho admitted tho ne
cessity of tho ca,e, and left me. Even then
ho would have corresponded with me, have
liciu Himself bound, but that I would not
permit. My unclo's life was not in danger
and I would not let Arnold waste tho best
years of his manhood without wifo or home.
So we bado each other farewell, and a few
mouths later I heard that my lover had join
ed a party of men going to Australia."
Ami Have you never heard of him
sinco V
'Never I My uncle lived six venrs.
When I was moit desolate, after his death, I
itiuiiii you."
"Marjorie," I whispered, "did Arnold Hal
combo ever marry?"
"I never knew, dear."
"Rut you do you still love him?"
"Yes, dear, I shall love him while I live!"
She told me no more of her heart historv
then, but talked of Stephen, of our lovo, of
tier entire sympathy in our future. I think
sue must have written to him, for in the
evening ho como again, and wo were be
trnthed.
I knew that Stephen must return to his
business in a few days, but he promised to
return in a month's time.
"Stephen," I said, "tell mo again about
your cousin's offer."
"Why, do you want to co to Australia ?"
he cried in ania.oment.
"No, but I want to know something about
your cousin."
"there is but little to tell. When I was a
mero boy ho went to Australia, a poor man.
Ho invested a vcry small capital in sheep,
hiring his farm. Ry degrees he increased
his stock, bought the farm, nndbecamoan
enoimoinly wealthy man. About six months
ago ho came to London, intending to re
main here. Rut ho wishes still to retain
some ol Ins Australian possessions, and is
looking for an agent, tn whom ho offers far
greater advantages than thosu ho enjoyed
hinncll. when ho first proposed to mo tn
go, I thfiiight as I Hunk now, that I preferred
to pursue the business I have here, and grow
rich slowly, than to exilo myself perhaps fot
years. Hut had you persisted in what you
said this morning, I think to-morrow I
should liavo accepted my cousin's olfer."
"Is your cousin married ?"
"No. indeed I And yet ho is as freo from
bachelor ccceutncities ns I am. Ho had
somo disappointment in his youth, and it
never soured or imbittcred him. He is a
splendid fellow, ono of tho handsomest men
I over saw, and ns noble as he is fiiic-look-in
Rut why are you interested about him ?"
I will toll you when you come again. In
the meantime, will you us0 your influence to
persuade him to come wilh you?"
"Hero?"
i es, here. Rrmg him with vou. Make
any oxcumi you like, only bring him I"
"Rut I do not understand," began Steph
cu.
'Never mind, I have promised to tell you
tiien."
"I will bring him, if bo will come."
I was sure ho would como ! It was hard
m carry a .secret hidden from Marjorie's
loving oyes lor an entiro msuith ; hut furtii
tiately, tvowero mioii cngros-cd in wedding
preparations for .Marjorie, leniembciing
her own broken Iovc-dream, had consented
and won my consent to Stephen's wish to bo
married in .limitary.
So wo spout tho late October and early
ovemher days iff stitching busily upon the
linery that every bride wishes to tako to her
new home,
HM .1... ..
ii ncii ihu nay came, all my nervous
anxiety about our preparations was attri
buted to my deslro to have Stopheii pleased;
but, strange as it may beem.I was not think
ing of Stephen. He was to como on tho
train duo at half-past eleven, nnd the, car
riago was sent to tho station to meet him.
I win drcsetl early, and fussed about
Marjorio till oven her quiet gentleness was
roused lo opposition.
"Why, child, it is absurd," sho said, as I
dragged my favorite, of all her dresses from
tho wardrobe. "I shall look like a gooso in
that in tho morning,"
"Rut 'wo will havo no clianco to dress
again," I urged, "and this Is so becoming."
i iiau puileu nor hair down, und wag
twining tho magnificent raven lengths Into
tho most bocomlng collHire my skill could
campats. In thu glossy braids I twisted u
half wreath of lino leaves with tho scarlet
blossoms I had taken from thu conservatory.
Tho dress Marjorie would not wear, but sho
chose a heavy black silk, with trimmings of
thfead lace.aud Ict mo put a scarlet bow up
ou tho iliiolaco at tho throat, und coral ear
rings in tim small tvhllo cars.
"I look like a lUmingo I" sho protested.
"You look liko a queen " I persisted.
'I'l... f.l.l. -1.1. !l, . ...
'" "i nun siik trailing upon llio
ground milted well her tall, noble flgure.and
her face mas Alwuys the most beautiful ono I
uverBaw.
It required soma dlnlomictr tn nurnn.t
observation when I led our visitors Into tho
House, but I invented an errand that sent
Marjorio lo my room just as tho carrlngo
drove up.
Stephen was accompanied by his cousin,
and my first look into his handsome face
convinced. mo that memory was busy nt
finding himself in Mnrjoric's house. I gavo
scant greeting to Stephen beforo I drew
Arnold llalcombo Into tho library. I scarce
ly know lu what words I told him of my
debt to Marjorie, of her confidence to me,
nnd my plan, of which I was careful to as
sure him sho was totally Ignorant. Rut his
answers sent my dying feet to seek my bene
factress, 1 found her in my room, vainly searching
for tho ornament I had fast in my pocket,
but my face caused her to paitso in tho
task.
"What good news docs Stephen bring.that
makes my little, gir H0 radiant?" sho
nsked,
I put my arms about her, antl holding her
fast, I said, almost sobbing In my eager
ness :
"Marjorie, sinco the day you lifted mo
from poverty and suffering to utter happi
ness, I hnvo never ceased to pray that nt
sometiino I might bo permitted to bring
somo brightness to you."
"Dear child, every hour you aro witli mo
answers your.praycrs," she said, lovingly.
"Dut I iiovor hoped," I said, "thnt I could
bring you such glad tidings as I havo
now."
"To me I" she cried, her sweet face grow
ing pule.
"Of Arnold llalcombe," I said softly j "of
his true, unchanging lovo for you ; of his
faithful devotion to the ono deep affection
of his life ; of Marjorio, .Marjorie, of his
presence hero to-duy to tell you this hiin
self 1"
"Here? Arnold here?"
"In the library, waiting for you," I
answered, suddenly releasing her, plunging
down stairs,rushitigin upon patient Stephen
in tho drawing room, ami executing a jutis
teul for his benefit that certainly would havo
admitted me to any lunatic asylum in the
country. Then I pulled him down, and, in
whispers, told him nbout it, laughing and
crying, till ho declared I would wind up
with a fit of hsytcrics.
Rut I didn't. I was as proper and prettily
behaved as possible when Marjorie came in,
leaning upon Arnold llalcsmbe's arm, with
every lurking shadow chased from her face
by thu gentle happiness there.whilo lie, erect
and proud, looking as a man does who gains
the supreme desire of his heart after years of
waiting
If ever true, fervent thanksgiving ascend
ed from a greatful happy heart, I am sure it
roso from .Marjorie's on that November day
when Arnold came to her.
Wo had a double wedding in January and
Stephen carried me to his London home ;
but we make frequent holidays to the lovely
homo where Marjorio gives us cordial wel
come, and where, I am sure, she has tho des
olation I dreaded to leave all swept away in
tho happiness of her husband's presence and
devoted love.
The Wiiiiilering .lew.
One of the most remarkable fictions over
accepted by the people, is that of tho Wan
dering Jew. Its basis rests upon a falso in
terpretation uf tho words of Scripture:
"Thero are some of them standing hero who
shall not taste death until they sco tho Son
of .Man coming in his Kingdom." It was
tho belief of many that this prophecy was
literally fulfilled in the per.,on of a Jew
who was wandering over the earth, and was
tn continiio to wander till the end nf time.
Tho first mention of the mystical personage
is found in tho chronicle of Matthew Paris,
who states that in 122S an Archbishop of
Greater Armenia having visited tho Abbey
of St. Albans ivhilu on a pilgrimage to tho
shrinei of Kngland, was asked'whether ho
had ever heard or seen of a certain Joseph,
who was present when our Lord suffered,
who spoko to him and was still alive, wan
dering upon the faco of tho earth. A knight
in his retinuo answering, said that his lord
well knew tho man, that he had eaten at the
Archbishop's table, and was often seen and
conversed with by him. The Archbishop
went on to relate that as the. lews were drag
ging our Lord to be crucified, C.Uarpbilm,
one of tho porters in tho service of Pilate,
struck him, saying in mockery ,"Oo quicker ;
why do you loiter?'' Ami Christ, looking
back on him with a stern countenance, said,
"I am going, and you will wait until I re
turn." As our Lord had said, Catarphilin
is still waiting His return, llo was, nt the
timo of our Lord's death, thirty years of
age, ami when he comes to the age of ono
hundred ho returns to tho same ago ho was
when Christ suffered. After tho ascension
of our Lord, Citarphllus was baptized by
Aminius nnd was named Joseph, llo dwelt
in Armenia and other Rastern countries
passing lils time with tho prelates of the
Uhureh, a man of holy conversation, of few
wolds ami circumspect behavinr.neverspeak
ing except to Ulshops and religious, and re
lating tho events which took place when
our Lord died, and in tho lives of tho Apos
tles. The next mention of tho Wandering Jew
wo find in 1.105 in Roheiuia, whero a poor
weaver named Kokot, in great perplexity to
find a treasure hidden by his grandfather
somo sixty years befoie, was shown by tho
Jew where to find it, ho having been present
when it was hidden. About tho sanio time,
mention is mado of tho mysterious person
ago in the Kast, but tho most chciiinstantial
account of him is that given by Dr. Paul
Vou Kueii, afterwards Rishop of Schleswig,
who says that in 1517 "hu observed a tall
man with his hair hanging over his shoul
ders, standing barefoot during tho sermon,
over against llio pulpit, listening with tim
deepott attention to tho discourse, and when
ever tho iiamo of Jesus was mentioned, bow
ing himself profoundly und humbly, sighing
and heating his breast. Ho had no other
clothing lu tho bitter cold of tho winter, ox
ccpl a pair of hoso which were in tatters
about his feet, and a coat with ngirdlo which
reached to his feet, and his general appear-
anco was that ofa man of fifty years." Tho
doctor was struck by tho man's appearance,
urn! inquired about him, Ho found that ho
was unknown to any one. People hud seen
him In all parts of Kuropo, but knew him
not. On questioning him, tho doctor learned
that ho was a Jew by birth, by namo Alias
uerus, by tradu a shoemaker ; that ho had
been present at tho crucifixion, and had lived
over sinco, travcllug through tho world. Ho
rolutod all the details of tho crucifixion, and
gavo accounts ol llio changes in thu uovern-

COf.l'JIIlIA DKMOOIIAT, VOL. XI.!, NO. 23
monLs of tho Kastcrunnd other countries for
many centuries. Ho stated that ho had
worked to havo Christ put to death, nnd
when tho sentence was pronounced ho ran
homo to call Ids family to look nt Him ns ho
was carried to execution. Tired with tho
weight of tho cross, Christ tried to rest for a
while near tho door of Ahasuerus, but was
driven by him away und bid to hasten His
steps. Christ, looking nt him said, "I shall
stand and rest, but thou shall go till tho last
day." When theso words were tittored, Ah
asuerus, who had his child in his arm?, put
it 'down, nnd iinahlo to remain where ho
was, followed Christ and saw him suffer and
die. When this had taken place, ho could
not return to Jerusalem, but was impelled
to go forth into strange lands, ono after an
other. Twenty yean afterwards, tho Wandering
Jew was reported to have been seen lu Spain.
In KVJO he is said to havo been seen in
Vienna; in 1C01 nt Lubeek, and shortly
afterwards at Revel in Livonia, and Cracow
in Poland. Ho was seen in Moscow, and in
1G0.1 ho was again at hubeck. Tho next
year ho arrived in Paris, though tho chroni
clers stato that thoy did not sco him.
It is very probablo that impostors, seeing
how easily tho story was swallowed, frequen
tly appeared in places and claimed to bo tho
Wandering Jew. About tho beginning of
tho last century, a man calling himself such
appeared in Kngland, nnd though educated
people laughed at his pretentions, yet the
vulgar trusted and believed in him. Tho
last appearance of a pcrfon claiming to be
tho Wandering Jew was in 1771 at Rrussels.

lir.PUTATlO.V.
A villain with a heart more callous than
that of Thomassen. and a record 11 0 ll'K4
atrocious, has just been uncovered nt Ada,
llardin county, Ohio, in tho person of Isaac
R. Charles, lato city treasurer of Ada, and
who lias, up to short period, borno an excel
lent reputation, and has been regarded as a
consistent member of the Methodist church,
but who is now proved, within tho past four
years, to havo murdered his own father and
mother, mado away with his wife and child
to marryhlsservantgirl.il committed bortlon,
forgery and robery, and winding up, a few
days ago, by feeding arsenic to thirteen
members of his brothers' families, four of
whom havo died, and some of tho others aro
likely to.
This murderous record begau four years
ago, tho lather and mother being the first
victims. Isaac had got hopelessly in debt,
and to get out, had forged his father's namo
to several notes, which coming due, began
to trouble him. The father provided for
one, but while talking with Isaac about tho
others ono day, in the barn, was killed
Isaac said by a kick from a horse. A few
nights beforo h"o had been unsuccessfully
shot at through the window, to the great
mystery of everybody, for it was fiipposcd
that ho had not an enemy in tho world. A
few days after the old lady suddenly died
from grier, Isaac said, and his brothers and
tho community believed him. Rut u moro
startling episode was yet in store for this ter
ribly fated family.
Is lac had in his household n young girl,
some seventeen years old, and of a sudden
sho was sent away to Columbus, for what
reason did not appear, but it is now said in
order that an abortion might be performed.
During her absenco Isaac's wife antl child
were Mitldenly taken ill, and after a vcry
brief sickness, they went down into the grave
to join tho aged cottplo who had so shortly
beforo departed life so suddenly. Within
six months of his wife's death Isaac married
his servant girl. Still tho community was
not aroused.
In tho meantime, Isaac had obtained from
tho probate court the appointment of himself
as the administrator of his father's estate,
and ( proceeded to settle up his affairs. In
the course of a year it became apparent thnt
Isaac was "administering" tho estate to his
own advantage. Nono of the taxes -were
paid, and it was ascertained that he had been
pledging the assets of the estate for his per
sonal debts. Six months ago, on petition of
his brother, Isaac was removed from tho of
fice and Mr. Isaac Thompson of Ada ap
pointed administrator. Last week a meeting
was arranged of the brothers to bettlc mat
ters. Isaac camo the day before, and tvhllo bis
brother's wife was mixing bread preparatory
to the largo company of tho morrow, man
aged to slip in the dough arsenic enough to
kill forty persons ; then suddenly "recollect
ing" a business engagement which "would
keep him a couple of days," left the house.
The other brothers met next day witli their
families, ato of tho bread, and soon thirteen
wero violently sick, four of them dying the
sauio day. Isauu was arrested on Sunday
night, and Is kept under strong guard to pre
vent lynching, the evidence against him be
ing overwhelming.

How to Treat Sunstroke.
As tho season of sunstroke Is at hand tho
following facts concerning this visitation aro
worth heeding, coming ns they do from so
high an authority as the Sanitary commlltco
of llio New York Uonrd of Health :
Sunstroko is caused by excessive heat, nnd
especially if tho weather Is "muggy." It Is
more apt lo occur on tho second, third, or
fourth day ofa heated term than on the first.
Loss of sleep, worry, excitement, close sleep
ing rooms, debility, nnd abuse nf stimulants
predispose. It is much moro apt to attack
those working in tho sun, nnd especially be
tween the hours of 11 o'clock In tho morning
nnd 4 o'clock In the afternoon, On hot days
wear thin clothing. Havo as cool sleeping
rooms as possible. Avoid loss of sleep and
all unnecessary fatigue. If working in-doors
and where thero is artificial hcatseo thnt tho
room is well ventilated. If working in tho
sun wear a white lint (not black as it absorbs
heat) and put inside of it on the head a wet
cloth or iilargogrecn leaf; frequently lift tho

RUILD1NO AS.S9CIATION9. Olio of tlin
most important legal opinions that has boen
delivered for somo timo is that nt .Tmlim
Wylio of the Supremo Court in the District
of Columbia. The point at issue was: Yates
a member of a buildim; association hud
mado sundry defaults in the pnvmont of his
monthly dues, which amounted tn SlOa
month until he owed the sum of ?2G0 in
duo'. For these defaults fines amounting to
$1S1 had been imposed ou Yates, and his
property was then advertised for sale. Tho
judgo in deciding the ease .iid "ho could
seo nothing in tho nature of theso building
associations to take the fines levied by them
out of the operation of the settled doctrines
of equity: that when fines were merelv col.
lateral to thu performance of somo princi
pal tiling, equity would relieve ugainst them
when tho performance could yet bo mado
with out injury to any party concerned.
Hut in tho case of theso associations tho
fines were collateral to tho navment of ihn
monthly dues by members, and wero inteil-
acu to insuio prompt payment. If then
a member who had made defiiult came hi
and offered to pay his dues witli interest,
the Court must relievo him from the fines,
unless tho associations could show actual
damage beyond said interest, resulting from
said default, mid even then relief would bo
granted upon compensation for actual in
jury.
