""I harm bo luipe for my aeLf," aaid Miriam ;
"but if yoai are only from under tae maledk

"Don't, don't!' pleaded the sick man,
iaibly diatreaaed, and he turned avray bla
head ao that the eyes renting; on Mm might
Dot detect the (fathfimg' tears. tj . .
Tue jthynioian came in aad noticed the
Chang. Much better, much bttterr he

pared to aay why or for srhat reaaon this
happy rhan ge haa takea place; but I could
ahrewdly Kueaa," and tba little old man
CTlADoed meaningly about the room, and
then at Miriam, who waa iaoking out of the
window.
"Yen," nodded Allan, with a happy smile,
ahe has come and wrought the traua
formation. The tonic of h r preaence and
kindneaa of her care hare belpetl you, doc
tor, to effect this marrelous chun(re.n
Certainly, certainly," fussed the little
old phyaician. aprea1ing out and couuuni;
the powders he had been dealing. 1 have
no doubt now but that you are on the mend,
finery, alr.'flnely. Hcrvr have a little care,
air, aliitia care," etnphaatsed the precise
-doctor, with his hand on the door, "or you
may have a relapse. Don't get too ambi
tious, sir; remember you have been very
111, very ill, sir." - -
The little nervous physician nodded in

"her becoming coiffure.
"When I' am- able ta be about, cousin,

-Moat likely, for awhile, a; least.' .......
"And then!"
Allan, 1 have lavbr td ask of you ; will
you grant itl" '-
'Certaiuly, If -possible I will be glad to,

now that he might do Something to reward
and piyaad enj wiio had loue ao much. lor

'But h yet you know nothing of my plans.
Yi'U have askfd tne 'where -then,' ur words
meaning the same. If I should, tell yoti'that

ca. wUat wtju'.d you say I"
'To live there;' make the "WTestern conti
nent your hume, Miriam i" askt.-d Ailan, all
the eagernea dying out cf his fa-e Ik
eiouded by gravest upprt-hension. Was he
so soon to loKe her, hia regal cousin I
. "To resije there,"' answervd she, an odd
little ru4iiuv j iiig over her euunteuancc.-
"t ):4 I ah 'Uid say. pleate Coa t go; what
eartli'.y ffd cuu tin to be ia that, Miriam t'
I'wnnt to-ferK-t-r,1 she nnamrt-ii, nd--ly.
I have a friend over there, at least a

W-tier." -
"Then I would have missed finding you
and died!' He turned his head away
once more to hide his tears.
"I am find i dad not go," ahe replied. ,
- "Andyoa wail be f.ad a second time If
you give up yonr piau now," be Tentured.
Ohl not when, you get well and strong,
and do not need me." -
.' ''There never will be a day again that I
will not wed yeu. Ob I Miriam 1" Then aa
if .hocked at h.a untimely confession, he
buried hia face In the pillow a and lay
fute aiUL Miriam weut back to the
window, without gainaaying ttua outburst
of tier cousiu'a. Por, lonely, aick man, she
thought, he hardly knows what he ia say
ing. I will not chide him. When he wUl
have fuy recovered thta thought will
have paased. No; abe wiU not nay any thing
now to hurt him. Doubtleaa her kindness
had almost turned his brain, in his weak
sta:e, and aa he convalesced he would for
get. The atteudant came and thinking the
sick man asleep, weut quietly out again.
'Iheai.ence was growing irksome. Miriam
looked at bcr watch and then glanced
f urtively toward the couch. AUau Perclval
had not stirred.
"Allan," she said, so ftfy; "it is Urn for
another powder, I believe. Jack would
have .given it to yau. but be though you
we re asleep. tjaaU I give ii to you i"
Iier cousiri took his face from among the
pillows and; looked up.- "Yea, if you
please." 'r " -
Hia face waa very pale; all the vivacity
of hopefufoonvaleacence had lied, aud even
his lips, were white and iremoling with
emotion.
Miriam thought best not to notice it, and
gave him a powder In a little wine glass of
Maderia. It will strengthen him, she
thought. Then she drew her chair near
him and aat down.
"Allan," she kegan, "what I wish you to
do for ma is this. When lam gone please
forget that you know of my whereabouts
should any Inquiry come to your ears from
Healherleigb. Will you do this!"
"Yea," he answered; "they shall never
know through me if you desire to have
yonr voyage remain a secret."
"I wish it, moat assuredly ;" and then she
told him of her visit to the Hall when she
was waved off by Sir Rupert in his fury,
dwelling tragically on the sorrowful recital.
"Now you know uhy I wish to be buried, as
it were, from aight and sound of Heather-,
leigh." T
"I know," he answered. -I will promise
any thing you desire ; you will forgive and
forget my speech of au hour ago if il grates
on your heart, cousin. I I I am too lonely
and desolate, and well, you will furgive?"
II reached out aa eager hand and Miriata
took in a warm, friendly clasp the out
atretched palm.
"Don't grieve, she aaid. generously,
"i ou have aaiU nothing wrong, Allan. But
wait until yon are well and atrong and per
haps you will forget It, too."
AUriam aaw a puzzled, far-away look steel
into those splendid eyea; then a quiverof
the pale hp, and se knew be waa battling
with disappointed desires. She hesitated
for a moment, then passU her liand rareas
ii'g'y over the noble brow, and up anion e
the dark, clustering hair. He waa her
cousin, all the relative she had, and well,
she would. So bending over tne pitiful,
wan face on the pillow, she pressed her
lip to hia brow.
"There ia nothing to forgive. All" n ; you
and I are the ri.-mest, best cf frimdr." Then
she went to her own apartment, and the
auenuant came and aat out the day by Allan.
i-cij Atian i-ereival waa ab.e to ait up
and wuik about the apartment Miriam an-n.un-ed
her intention ot Ruing borne.
"Though I haven t any," she adde.l, titter! v.
Hhe waa thinking of two grava, side bv

churca-yard.

"When you are better still, cousin, come
and v is . t me, won't you f"
Mhiain put out her hand in a cordial,
couioiy manner.
With a queaUonlng look he hesitated. "I
Shall luis i ytrj niUcb," he aiioiuvrt-d.
"And I shall feel badly if you do not
come. I want you," aha aaid, with a posi
tive, imperious air.
"Then I wiU come and gladly.
Good-bye until I welcome you at the
Rest," ahe aaid, cheerfully, almost gayly.
"Good-bye, I a hall remember, good-bye !"
and the hansom rolled away.
Allan went back lathe gloomy, old silence,
and aat down with bla head resting on the
table.- He waa auU weakaad the parting
had unnerved him. though he fancied he
had borne up bravely considering how well
he loved this gloriously saintly cousin. The
touch of her lipe on hia brow that day
when she had kissed him forgiveness
thrilled him to his very soul's center. But
she waa a genuine Pereival. and if ahe
could not reeurn his love, why, sooner or
later, she would cast him off without a
single regret, aud "e would go to the bad !
Oh I this Uus suspense but the room

went arouna him wita auzy velocity and
-ale knew no more.
He was too weak to calmly count up the
odds against him in this first deep, true love
of iiis life, and had fainted dead away in
consequence.
CHAPTER XIX.
, We left the inmates of Heatherleich Hal',
terrified over the prostrate form of tue wua
ter. But he was not dead, aa Peggy sup
posed; only dazed and atunued. After re
lighting the tapers they carried Sir Kupert
te his apartments, where he revived fr--ently,
Marcia declaring in an aside to the
coachman that "he had the lives of a cat .r
he would have been dead aud buried lonK
ago, as became him.
Th. y stared with him until the thunder
storm had spent its fury and swayed away
in the disiaiice with low, a alien rour. By
that time Kir Rupert had gaiuc-d hia uauai
quiet demeanor and was sinking into slum
bcr.
It was now nearly morning, and the warn
ing of chanticleer uotilied tlictu cf daybreak.
And. as 1'eirg.v aaid, -ahe niver vas know.n'
ov the toime whin the ruasiher didn't kj e
awnke an tearin around like possessed
until there was no toime left for any one ov
them to achlape Veptin' himself."
But there anortly came a time when the
master d.d not even "tear 'round." In tLe
"stilly sweet weather another step toward the
long, l.mg hoina was indicated. In those
days Sir Kupert did nothing but lie on the
couch and atare aimlessly at the frescoed
cening.
Ihese daya were days cf comparative
peaoe at the nail and the servants were
left to their own sweet will pretty much.
Sometimes the clergyman of Fairlight
Church, aa old friend of the master's, came
in by request and read to h m foe h-.tes;
sometitnea The scrvanta kept Sir Rupert
company, and whlied away the hours in hia
rocns to please his cbddiah fancies.
One afternoon after the rector had taken
his departure, an unusual aileuce pervaurd
the Hall, as If the house hung waverina; lu
the balance of some terrible destiny.
Sir Rupert broke the gloomy spell by
sending a summona for Ancil Ciarkson,
who waa busy in the garden. And when
that broad-shouldered sou of Erin aiaue his
appearance, hat in hand, he waa eli-ctrieu
by seeing his master walking about his
apartmei-la. See!' aaid he, "I am mud.
better thia afternoon, Ani-fl, therefore 1
mual go down -.Lairs, and I want you lo as
sist me in descending."
So the willing servant, ready to gratify
his master's strange wish, almost carriid
him down the long Bights of stairs and
through the central hall until the front en
trauce was reached. ..
The wish to be down stairs was not ao
atrange to Ancil as for the idea to get into
Sir Rupert' a head that he waa abie to en
dure it, .
Nevertbelees, he was down at last, and
placing him in his long-unused rolling chair,
which had kept lonely vigil behind the door
for months, Ancil wheeled him out on the
ateps, and, reclining peacefully, Sir Rupert
watched with a half-smile "the waning
light of another summer's day.
lae lovely English creepers nodded in
the bright, soft air of miu-aununer, and
drooped in sweet profusion from the weather-stained
colonnade; and the birds twit
tered sleepy songs in the shadowy fastness
es of the hoary elms, but Sir Rupert seemed
not to see. He heeded nothing of the peace
ful present, nor even noticed the patient
Ancil, who, leauing agaiust a column,
'watched bis master's countenance and
waited further orders.
No; Sir Rupert saw none of these; he
was looking beyond, to the open apace,
where Miriam stood once with outstretched
arms; toward this spot he only cared to
gaze. And he had aaid "go;" had forbade
her coming across the threshold; the
threshold now so desolate 1
Some way the golden shafts of flickering
sunlight falling slanting through the dark
crowns of the elms seemed to him to-day
like golden baby curls, and the dark, hover
ing shadows nearer still put him bo much
in mind of Miriam's dress. The somber
crape fell down Into folds like that when
she bade him "good-bye." That last, last
good-bye.
He clutched the arms of hia chair in a be
wildered way, and murmured, faintly : "It
has been so long, ao very long alnoa abe
has been here; don't you know it has,
Ancil!"
Upon being answered ia the affirmative,
he paused a moment and then aaid: "I do
not understand it at all; will ahe not come
soon now, Ancil!" but the servant did not
answer. The cruel words of his master on
that memorable day Hashed through Lis
retentive memory, and be held his peace.
Alibis Sir Rupert grew nervous and dis
appointed. Signifying his desire to go in,
Ancil wheeled him back into the hall,
"Might I go into the gallery to aee Mir
iam!" asked the master, as Ancil pre
pared to assist him upstairs. The question
came in a faJu-ring tone, as if coupled, with
the fear of being denied, and Ancul carried
his muster thither without a word. Steady
ing his trembling limbson the threshold. Sir
llupert manatred U walk, unassisted, across
tho room. Long and sadly he lingered be
fore the portrait of his daughter without a
word. Then he waa ready to go upstairs
again.
Ancil waa thinking, all the way up the
long flight of steps, if he dared speak to his
waster concerning Miriam. What woul
the penalty be should he mention her in
the connection he desired!
"Maathur, said he, as he arranged the
pillows comfortably on the couch and as
sisted Sir Kupert to he down; "Masinur,
wud ther be ony harrum ; an' moight we
not aind for the young misthress I An she
wud cootn to yez, Oi'm quite shure."
All exhausted and white. Sir Rupert
shrank down among the pillows, and
answered only by an Impatient gesture.
Then he turned wearily over to t well
Ml
and fell to weeping convulsively.
Ancil, frightened beyond expression at
what he had done, turned away quietly,
and with stealthy step slipped out of the
room. He blamed himself and scolded
himself audibly all the way down-stairs for
mentioning Miriam's return to her frail
old father.
All that sight and the next day Sir
Rupert lay stupidly quiet, with no word
nor thought for any one. In fact, he had
been so unusually quiet that the servants
had assembled in the library to discuss this
strange turn in affairs. '
It waa evening now, and they watched
the shadows gather in the corners with a
TOGETHER IX TIME SAXK DOOBWAT THET LIST
ZXZTD. vague, uncertain dread. Surely some
thing was shout to happen beneath the
frowning gablea of Heatherleigh to-night.
And from a superstitious fear they
launched off quite naturally into super
stitious lore, with all the zest of a true
Hibernian. . ' .
Hour after hour was thus whiled away
until, incredible as it may seem, the little
group had entirely forgotten their master.
Suddenly Peggy, who had been vividly
pcrtrayic g the fatal warnings and blood
curdling feats of an ancestral banshee,
started up in genuine alarm- "Why!" ahe
exclaimed, "an' we've been a sittin' hear a
tollin' ov the ghostliest things, an have
forgotten the master. Aa it's full "mid
night an' he must he schlapin, forhs hasn't
been afthur wantin one ov lis; an the
lamps in the Laythunish dark hall haven't
ooeu loighted aythur. Woe be the day!"
With this energetic prelude she stepped
cautiously out in the hall for the purpose of
lighting the neglected lamps. Groping
her way to the nearest lamp she was about
to liht it when a iuiTut luovemoit on the
-t airs arrested her attention; a slow, shuf
llinir movement came to her ear, rather iu
deliiute, but she was sure some one elso
was In the Lall besides herself. The motion
continued, though seemmg-Iy mufRi-d.
She was about ready to scream from
sheer desperation when something like
a half-groan and half-sigh smote on her
iicute ear. In an aeony of fear she flew
Hack to the library, and with very wi'd.
frightened eyes and white face she rushed
.uto the midst of the gossiping servants
As she did so she gave vent to a half
suppressed scream. They ail sprang to
their feet in alarm, asked in a breath;
Y hat is it, Ciarkson !"
"An' siiure as I'm a born chiller, " she
exclaimed, a light breaking ia on her fright
ened mind, "that shure the mast hur'sc-fxi ru
in' down the stairway all alone iu the dark
ness ot the night.
They all looked incredulous and seemed
about to accuse the housekeeper of ir.san
iiy, when her husband ami forward and
placing his hand on the door-haii die, said,
oalf derisively:
Hiatl ye, Peggy; an' he cudca cootn
doon the atheps auone na more than bt
Pathrlck cud sin !"
He opened the door slowly, and they all
came to listen for any unusual sound in
the hail. Breathlessly huddled together in
the dark door-way they listened.
And Pegiry waa right in her affirmation.
She had neither gone insane nor heard a
spirit tram fang about, for Sir Kupert was
coming djwn the dark staircase unaided
and aiouu. Step by step, painfully, slowly,
wearily, but surely coming.
"Blissid Yargin !' groaned Ancil, stagger
ing back against the door. "An' it's roight
ye are, me lass, the mast hur is coomin
down the sthairs." Then in a suppressed
undertone he terrified them by saying: "An
phwat ef he shud miss his footing, or make
the laste misstbep)'
And inalead ol going to their master to
assist his uncertain steps, or lighting the
lamps in the dark hall, they stood shudder
ing involuntarily. Stricken with a par
alyzing fright, not one of them thought of
going to their master's assistance, or even
essaying to move. They stood rooted to the
lloor like so many useless statues, listening
to Sir Rupert's slow and painful descent,
and waiting for something they could not
define.
Down, down, the dragging, muffled steps
came, with long intervals for rest; and
sometimes a labored breauung, sometimes
a sigh.
But suddenly there was a frantic clutch
ing of the polished balustrade, a reeling to
and fro, a smothered groan, then an un
earthly, hopeless cry for assistance, and the
master of Lreatherleigh fell down the few
remaining steps and lay struggling in a
violent convulsion on the floor of the hall.
His fall seemed to unlock the benumbed
senses of the household, and affrighted and
bewildered they rushed to and fro, some to
Sir Rupert's assistance, and some for
lights.
James brought the lamp from the library
hurriedly, while Peggy made vain endeavors
to find the hall burners. He shrank back
in abject terror from the writhing form cf
his master, and held the lamp high over his
head with a wail no oue could ever forget.
But Ancil and John, who had in these last
days of the Hall become faithful and most
willing nurses, lifted Sir Kupert from the
flocr and bore him Into the great drawing
room at the left, laying him down gently on
the deep, luxurious sofa by the great double
windows.
Then John ran for the physician, while
Peirgy and her husband did all in their pow
er to restore the dying man to conscious
ness, interlarding their work with ail the
extravagant and useless Irish expletives
known. But their efforts were not success
ful. Sir Rupert never gained conscious
ness, and expired in their arms before Dr.
Whiteiake arrived.
When they all gathered about the wasted,
rigid form of their master at the Instance
of the physician, who solemnly pronounced
him really dead, the revulsion of feeling
was puzzling, if not Btranje, to witness.
From the excited, worried experiences of
the night the reader doubtless imagines a
scene of bewailing and inconsolable grief;
but this was not the case. Their lives had
been one of eternal vigilance, one of con
stant worry for years, and when they
finally realized that the master of Heather
leigh was really gone, and this everlasting
fret was ended, they stood gazing calmly
down on the still form and whlspermg
quietly to one another: "It is well; it la
well.
Dr. Whiteiake expected some one of the
great Irish hearts to cry out and bewail the
fate of Sir Rupert, but every face was de
corously calm as a summer sunset, and he
was disappointed.
CHAWts XX.
Uewa of SirRupert Percival's death spread
far and near. And former friends and fre
quenters of the Hall whom ho bad kept at
a distance by his gruff, unsociable manners
of late years came quietly la and, standing
by the ailver-fruiged and richly mounted
tan, gazed down on tic proui yld Xac,
which seemed to wear, even In death, a look j
of forbiddance. .
But where was the daughter! Neighbors
Stood la two's and three's grouped about
consulting on the matter. Futile efforts
were made to C nd her. Word was sent here
and there. Her beautiful home miles away
was visited by a courier dispatched with the
sad news of death; but strangers were-'
there who either knew nothing of her'
whereabouts or Intended to keep them a so- .
rret. Gossip had it that Miriam Pereival
Fairfax had drifted to London. If so, wno
could find her, did she desire to remain hid
den, in time for the burial of Sir Kupert!
So the matter reluctantly dropped and fur
ther preparations for the burial went on.
On the night following his death, as the
body Of the dead master lay in state in the
Ion?, dreary drawing-room,' and the
watchers patrolled the gloomy old hall, a '
spirit of evil or of something fully as disa-
greeablo seemed to go shuddering- torotigh
the air. . : j: .- -.. . ,. .? .. -;
The servants did not retire, they could
not. rest with tne corpse ol tneir oia master ,
under the same roof with them. So they .
sat crouching here and there, solemn-vis-,aged
au9 sloepy, either individually alone
or in littlo clusters.
'' It was midnight and all was silent as the
dead Sir Rupert, when the handle of the
great bait 1 door turned " noiselessly, the
door was pushed open softly and a stately
figure, a lady in deep mourning and heavily
vailed, glided in . Without taking the least -notice
of the watchers itttng middle-way
of the hall, and heedless of Peggy and
Ancil occupying the lowest step of the
stairs, she moved quietly aud without hesi
tation toward the drawing-room door. This
abe opened and disappeared within, the
door closing quickly after her.
The watchers st ared at each other and -:
fled into another part of the house like
hunted deer. ' :
"Oh I" they said to the terrified servants
in the Uiniug-hall, "it must be Lady Per
eival come back to look after her husband." .
Peg?y clutched her husband's arm in
mule dismay, and both watched the sylph-i-llke
movement of the mysterious person in"
black with dumb amazement, and neither
had the power to speak or stir, so great was
their consternation. : ..--:! . i-iir)''.'
Oue by one the servants, having heard
the account of the terror-stricken watchers, i
came fi-ing into the central hall in their
stockings and cloth shoes quietly and with
white, questioning faces. The watchers
followed alar off, determined to find tho
coast clear this time or vamose for good.
"What was it i" asked James, coming,

on the stairway, who had neither moved nor
spoken since the watchers fled.
"By all the howly saints, bowld yer ques
tions to ycrselT," whispered Ariil, ".Not
wan av us knows."
Presently a low moan of deepest anguish
. came from the drawing-room, followed by a
deep, sobbing sound.
"Oh I howly Mary! an' it is Miriam," and
Peggy Ciarkson started quickly to her feet
aud took a step toward the door.
But the silent, mysterious figure Is black
anticipated her movements and came swift
ly out in the hall and gilded out through the
great doorway, disappearing in the dark
ness instantly.
At this strange visitant's manner each one
present was so astonished and helplessly
thunderstruck that for fully Ave minutes'
not a soul stirred nor uttered a word. After
the shock to their nerves had worn off
enough to admit of speech, James said : "I
know that '.it was Miriam," in such a posi
tive tone that his words carried conviction
to their hearts.
Then the commotion among the servants
was simply indescribable ana startling m
the utmost sej.se. They rushed hither and
thither with lights, catlinjr jjio beloved mis
tress in pleading tones to come back, And
grew almtwt frantic in their vain endeav
ors to find Miriam. Not a trace of heroould
be found. '
After their long and fruitless search to
. find their beloved mistress or unravel the
mystery of the midnight visitor, they gave
it up, lamenting their failure iu heart-breakingcxi-Umntious
of genuine sorrow.
The dead master was wholly forgotten by
the excited household for the time, such
was their love for tho daughter, whom thoy
were positive had walked like a spirit into
their midst with face mysteriously vailed,
and had disappeared in some unaccountable
manner. "
Why did she come; and if she did, why
come ia that manner! Why not come and
stay now that there were none to dispute
her presence!
These questions were asked a thousand
times, but not one was found wise enough
to answer. ;
Doubtless it was really Miriam, who,
hearing of her father's death, had come to
take a last look aud farewell. He who in
lif3 she dared not approach and from whose
heart the strange decree had weaned her,
. even in her babyhood.
What her thoughts mnsthave been wo can
only conjecture; coming back to thschild
hood haunts and Slipping in like a thief in
the midnight watches beneath the old roof
treo from which 6he had been banished;
coming back to shed btVVer tears; er naps,
on tho rittid form ft hinvwbo had forbidden
her to coll hitn father; aad then vaiusuong
away into tae midnight dariuiess, liko a
thing of evil, was some. Lin g ouiy thoso who
possessed a wealth of daribg could da She
must have had nerve And complete control
of her wiil-iiower, also a passionate lrre for
the dead, to undertake this strange method
of visiting hira thus.
After a complete search of the whole
country-aide, and no trace of the absent
one could be obtained, the more supersti
tious set that luiduiht visitor down as a
first-class spirit. Some weuit so far as to
presume that Miriam might have died and
that her spirit came to takealastlook at Sir
Kupert, and mayhap feel a throb of tri
umph over his demise.
But Pegpy Ciarkson, superstitious as she
was by nature and education, hooted the
idea as simply preposterous, declaring that
it "was the young misthress, in puirflish
and b.ud, for," said she with a great show of
contempt for the theory advanced, "who
iver heirn tell o spirits mournin' out loud
over corpses!" ' ......
lie this as it may, Miriam could not be
found, and Sir Kupert was borne to the
tomb of his ancestors in Oaklawn, with
neither kith nor kin to follow him. The old
gray-haired clergyman pronounced with
much feeling: ''Behold his house was left
unto him desolate, and the day of his death
was certainly better than the day of his
birth. Peace to his ashes!"
la due time the will of Sir Rupert was
unearthed and made known. Heatherleigh
t Hail was bequest tied "to Miriam Pereival
Fairfax and her heirs forever." In a codi-t-
tutlacted he pronounced au earnes; wish.
that Miriam Pereival Fairfax must be found
and reinstated at the Hall. But where was
she! In smoky London, gone to America,
gone somewhere else; this place, that place
and the other, gossip had it, but it was but
gossip, and the stately daughter never
came.
The servants were remembered hand
somely in the will of the cmffold master,
' and each after having received his or her
portion went their ways. All left the gloom
and silence ot Heatherleigh excepting the
Clarksons. They remained under its deso-
' la ted roof in accordance with, the wish of
Sir Kupert, as set rortn in a clause ot the
last will and testament made known. He
. desired them to wait and welcome. Miriam
on her return. Ah ! when would that be!
And Ciarkson, having finished the story
of Sir Rupert's life and death, looked at
me with great, questioning eyes, from
. which the tears of sad, -earnest waiting
' triekled down. . t '
"Ah, me Leddyl. Oi'se about dhrappin
' into me gcave waltin' for the childer, an'
Ofnie afeard she'll niver coom."
An inspiration seized me. "Peggy, if I
give away a secret to you, will you grant
me any thing 1 ask!"
She looked at me for full Ave minutes in
speechless amazement, doubting my sanity,
for all I know, for she murmured: "Lordl
' an has the terrible story ov the master
turned yer head!" -
"No, Peggy, but I have a secret which I
wfll sell to you ; something worth knowing ;
tiwugh it won't ' do much good after all,
with the exception of knowing it, of
. course."
I said this at a venture, not knowing
whether Ciarkson would bite at the bait I
threw her or not. She sat looking at me
. doubtively, and I knew I had another attack
( to make if I carried tho wsrks.
, "Peggy," said I, .lowering my voice and
' looking about the room as if fearing other
. ears; "Peggy, would you grant Miriim
- any thing she could ask cf you ; would you
give her any thine from the Hall the mieht
: send to you for if you knew where ahe
was!"
"Indade Ol would, ma'am," she replied,
quickly, her old face . lighting up with a
fond, expectant yearning which gave mo
pain.
"Well." said I, "in the first place I know
where Miriam is." . . . .- .
I could get no further then, for tho old
housekeeper jumped from her wicker chair
and throwing her arms around my neck
sr4,Ld convulsively. After her first storm
. of overjoyed excitement was over she
whiskered to me in low, broken accents :
"An, where Is the dear childer, p'.are,
ma'am; before the holy saints, me Leddy,
Oi'll kape the Kaycret tiU nic doyiug day,""
'Living with mc, Peppy."
"Living wilh you, me Leddy"'' Clnrkson
had sprung to her feet and stood gazing at
me iu sheer astouiih.mei.t . "With you!
The Vargin bo praise ! ! With you;"
All this time the broad rufiies of her cap
nodded and danced in amostpirturewuc
fashion, and her bi blue eyes shone like
gems, so great was her pleasure and sur
prise. "Whin is she coomin' back to pair old
Peggy!" pleaded she, drawing her chair
clone to mine and sinking into its depths,
nearly jxhuusted with tne momentous and
glorious news of Mj-iam.
"Pep-gy," Paid I, "Miri im has no idea I
wUl tej where she is; thut is, here in En
gland, aud I have solemnly promised not to
give her location. Now, doyou know wheie
I reside!"
"No, ma'am, Oi don't- Its in Amerikv. I
I shud say, but Ameriky's forninst my guess
j in an Oi don't imagin' where the darlint is

"That is right, Peggy." I said. "To every
one inquiring about Miriam Fairfax you do
not know a syllable. Be perfectly dumb.
I fo Miriam expressly desires you and me to
) be." - . . ,
j "Oi understand, me Leddy; Oi under-,
i stand. An' whin is she a coomin' back to .

main chance.

ALBANIAN JUSTICE
A Murderer l"Moiu-d by the Father ol
Ilia Victim.
Recourse o personal justice seems
VPry undesirable to rm-n of a law- abid
ing land, and probably few of us have
ever thought of it as capable of foster
ing the softer emotions of human nature
as well as of satisfying the instinctive
craving of blood for blood.'' A year
a;ra, at a fight of trained ganders ia Al
bania, the owner of a vanquished bird,
in a fit of temporary irritation, raised
' his gun and shot dead the owner of tho
other bird. '
The spectators were so astounded
that they made no effort to, arrest the
murderer, and he betook himself to the
mountains, where he was pursued for
.hours by tho murdered man's friends
who had roused themselves at last.
Finally, seeing that there- was no hope
for him, the fugitive ran down into the
house of his victim, where tho bereft
mother sat lamenting.
"I am in your house,"' said the mur
derer. "Give me bessa" the oath of
protection "for they are going to kill
me." .
The old mother gave him her oath,
and when his pursuers reached the
door she went forward and waved her
handkerchief, in sign that they should
depart.
All day tho guilty man remained in
safety in the house bo bad made deso
late, Imt at night the old woman took
him by the hand and led him out upon
.the mountain.
; "Now my oath Is fulfilled. she said,
when they had reached a safe distance
from the town, "you mubt look out fur
yourself."
Then followed tho pursuit of ven
geance, the family of the victim occupy
ing themselves unceasingly ' .with"
thoughts of retribution, while the
friends of .the murderer as earnestly set
tbejns.l yes to obtaining his pardon.
Tills stato of things continued for two
month". Then tho family of the mur
derer, wmj. n, children and all, betook

his In-ad vailed in a lin n cloth, and Lii
gun muzzle downward, suspended from

, A'ardon! 'pardon!" cri?d they,, with
no yoke, and this petition continued
until noon. '
Then the father or the victim ad
vanced, and tho murderer knelt, ready
to receive sentence of lift? or death. The

SCHOOL SAVINGS BANKS.
Tb Suceas Attending th Adoption of

The following extracts are - taken
from a paper by J. IL Thiry, recently
read befora the American Social
Science Association; .
"A monograph on School Savings
Banks In America will be read for the
iir6t time before tho Universal Con
gress of Provident Institutions, now
in session in Paris, and it is expected
that from the transactions of that Con
gress, its influence will be felt through
out the educational world.
"There are sixty schools In seven
different States that have the system
in operation. About $-8.000 have
been collected from nearly 9,700 pupils
through the aid of 850 devoted teach

in one school of Long Island City, N.

pected that during the next school
term tho school banks will so extend
as to reach at least fifty more schools

The system has received the sanc
tion of our National Bureau of Educa

and of the Superintendent of the New

"A bill has been introduced into the

"The School Savings Banks, having

"la introducing School Savings

tho system has had, like any now idea,
much to contend with. Tho persons
who so constantly express themselves
a.int the plan, for some reason or

possible danger of avarice to the

slow, indeed, to sec the mischief dono
to many of our children by squander
ing aU ' the ir pocket pennies for
cigarettes, candy, ehev.-inj-gum and
the like. It is yet to be shown that
self-restraint, prudence, foresight, as

synonymous with selfishness, avarice

CONVERTED TO BUDDHISM.
Ceremonies of Reeelvlng an American
Into the Uodlrsa Church.
Recent Ceylon papers contain accounts
of a remarkable ceremony which took
place recently in Colomlio. This was
the reception of a gentleman from
America, who lately arrived in Ceylon,
into tho Buddhist creed.
Tho proceedings took place under tho
direction of the Buddhist high priest, as
sisted by eleven yellow-rohd monks.
The convert knelt before the assembled
priests and intimated his desire to lie ad
mitted a member of the Buddhist Church.
The high priest then catechised him
and the assembled monks satisfied them
selves that he was fitted to be a follower
of Buddha. The gentleman, whose name
was Powell, then begged of the high
priest ''to give hira the Pan-sil,'1" which
tho latter did, tho candidate repeating
it aftr hira with the palms of the hands
brought together uplifted. Having ex
plained to the convert the responsible
duties of a Buddhist tho Inch prit stpave
him his blessing. A meeting was after
ward held in which Mr. Powell' ex
plained his reasons for having embraoed
Buddhism, and described tho mental
process which he had gone through be
fore he arrived at tho conviction of its
truth. "
It appears that nearly forty j-ers ago,
when ho was a child. hr came across a
book in his father's library, in which was
a picture. It was the figure of Buddha
seated in the conventional nttitudo on a
lotus.' Impressed by tho expression of
peace and love on tho face, lr. Powell
got into the habit of going nearly every
evening to a room to sit in a vsitiou as
nearly like it us he possibly could. "On
asking ho or what picture it ua." Mr.
Powell fcaid: "I was told that it was the
picture of a heatln-n god, but its iiieuiory
clung to me, and when I heard its name
I never forgot it, but learned lan-r what
tho symbol was and its meaning. '
Ik'ing, aa bo said, naturally of a relig
ious turn of mind, and being intended
by his father to he. a clergyman, Mr.
Powell was well educated in the Chris
tian dH-trino. "Hut I recognized and
felt that there must ! some law that I
could work out myself, aud that if 1 con
trolled my thoughts my lifo manifested
an obedience to that power; but it was
long lefore I rt-cognized that this was
the 'law of right thought." At one time
he apjH-ars to have sought a refuge in
agnosticism, but soon after he aban
doned this mental attitude, and a pe
rusal of "The Light of Asia" aroused in
him tho desire to take refuge in tho law
