"THAT BLESSED OLD MAIB."
"Thero U no other woy, Clar.i. I nra
tho only rel.itio sho lias ltft, aud wo
must iuvito litr 1 ero lor tho v inter, nny
how. She nnd John htnytil with futber
nnd mother whilo I was rouming hero
and there. Now they nre nil youe,
Jlurlba'a nlone, nnd it'a no moro than
right for 1110 to look out for her awhile,
I'll writo immediately."
"Yes, Niithnn, that Is right. I ltnow.
but I can't help dreading il. I always
had a horror of old maids;'' and Mrs,
Tracy looked nervously around the plain
kitchen of tho little farm-liouno.
' You needn't bo nlraid of Mnrlba; sho
Kti't vnv old. mid I veutnra to sav none
f tho prying, disagreeable old maids wo
read of,"
In spite of his reassuring words, Mrs
Tincv dn cried Iho arrival of tier bus-
baud's maiden sister, whom bo bad not
teen Mute tbo day be lelt bis Now Kng
luuri bomo to try bis fortune iu tbo new
West.
Hut, ns Clara soon discovered, there
wns nothing to fear from tbo quiet, snri
Inced wouinu who cutne to them, whose
life had been bo full of devotion to utb
trn, and iioblo keif-sacrifice, that there
bad been uo Umo for growing hard or
bitter, because souio of li.e's bueetest
bletsings bad beeu denied her.
Tho children, llfit nnd Mablo and
baby Hay, with uucrring Instiuct of
childhood, felt the depth of her quitt
uiuduvtu, aud took bcr at onco into
their loving little hearts.
Mrs. Trncy, nlthongb wholly unob
trusive, was observant. This, together
with ibo interest she frit for ber broth
er's family led bcr, beforo she bad ueeu
many weeks an inmate of bis bouse lo
make a discovery.
Katbau, in hti desire to get on in tho
world, was missing much that would
have made lite pleasant. Iu thinking so
constantly of tho future, bo was loving
all the sweetnesi of the present. That
this was affecting the wbolo family was
ouly too apparent. It wna teen iu Clara'H
anxious, weary face, and repeated in 11
less deereo upon tho countenances of
their ohildreu.
There seemed to bo uo rest for any of
tbtni. No rclaxatiou in the btrugglo for
existeuoa. Nothing to vary their weary
monotony of cverv-duy labor, which, like
soma bugo Juggernaut, was crushing be
neath its wheels all that might have
mado life bweet and pleasant.
Martha tdirauk from interference with
tbehabils of lur brother's family; but,
looking ahead, she saw for them nothing
but sorrow aud disappiuttueut, and felt
that something must bo done to btivo
them.
Watchiug for nn opportunity to talk
alone wilb Nathan, she gladly accepted
bis invltatiou one morning, to ride with
him to towu.
They were rolling rapidly ovsr the
level prairie road, when, Martha broke
the bilence,
"It Is truly exhlllrating to ride iu this
bracing uir, over these lino roads, espec
ially with so nice a "rig" as you call it.
Tho buggy is easy and tho borsra' really
Que auluial. You must be doiug well
now, Nathan.
"I suppojo I am, Martha; bat It has

bird work and economy I guess wo cau
make it up in nuotber ytar."
Then what will como next?"
"I intend lo lave 11 nice, largo barn
I nnd souio cbnico catile; then I shall
I build n good bouse nnd prepare tn take
oomfort. There isn't n bitter farm thau
I tnlno for mites nromrd, and I must make
I the best improvements possible. Then,
some day, we'll have tho best of every
thing."
"lint ho will Bhnro It all with you?-'
"Why my family, of course!-' opeuing
hie eyes wido with astonishment.
"All except Clara, you mean," she
si.id soUumly.
"Why Martha, how you talk! It fs for
her I'm working who else, I'd like to
kuow?''
"Now, Nathan, just lake n few words
lrom your bitter, v. ho menus only kind
ness. I'vo bad experience, nnd in my
judgment, Clara hasn't enough vitality
left to take ber through another year of
bard woilc. I lmvo interests at heart,
and would tiot needlessly nronso your
fears; but lam convinced that yonr
wife is wearing nut. Sho must mt
from this constant labor.or your children
uill boon bo motherless.
"Don't, Martha, talk lu that wayl
Clara is nB well ns usual. Sho was nl
wnjH (ileuiftr and delicate, I'd gladly
have kept her in case, but she knew that
she married a poor man, aud was wil
ling to woilt up."
"Hb was a liltlo annoyed.
"I doubt not jou have been kind nnd
gocd to her, nud now that sho has helped
work tip so far, I kuow you will be
glad to give ber a vacation. You do
not realizj what it is to core for three
children and do nil tbo uotk that must
be done in a farm bouse. She might
have been blender when'1 a girl, but not
careworn. Tonight lfjon will look at
ono of bcr old picluns, yuu will be con
vinced that I am light."
Suppose I nm wl:t-t then?''
How much wonld it cost to seud ber
back to Ohio for tho wintej? I cau keep
house.''
"Simply out of tbo question. She
wouldn't go nuyhow. Marlhu,"
I thought 3 011 didn't know it; but
she is nn bouithluk us a child to bee her
father nud mother. She biisu't taid so,
she never complains, but 1111 unutterable
longing flltx lur eyes, and quick ttaib
when fho tpeaks of them. Suro ofyor.r
consent, nnd my willingness to keep
house Icr ber, she would go gladly."
And jou think it would do bcr good!''
"Undoubtedly, nnd it would bo tho
thcnp.'bt medieins you could give bsr
nud tho biiroit. Think it over a day or
so, Nitbnu.''
That evening Mirtha wns uot.sur
piised to see a startled, anxious look on
ber brother's face, ai bo closely regarded
bis wile, whenever ho thought hinuell
unobserved Husbands nro often the
blindest of all persons in ugard to their
wives, but N.ilbuu was convinced.
That uight when they were nlouo, be
suddenly exel iinii'd:
"Clara, Low would 3 ou liko to visit
jour mother this fall? '
She looked at him n moment in silence,
whilo a wave of crimson swept over ber
pale face. Then, turning away, bLo said
brokenly
"Don't fall; nbont it. N.it; I know we
can't nlfoid it, und I'd rather not sp:ak
of it."
"Hut we cau nfl'ord it. and Martha is
willing fo keep honso for me. Now, do
you want to go, dear?"
Thero wus nu unconscious toue of re
proach iu bis voice, nud a look of p.iiu
ou bis face, which tho could not under
stand. "Oh. Nathani sho sobbed, with ber
face bidden on his shonl.ler, "don't Im
agine that I lovo you any tho less, or am
tirtd of our little home; but I do want to
go. Just now there is nothinR iu Ibe
world I waut no much us lo seo my fath
er and mother."
"Well, then, you shall go, liltlo wife.
Don't cry so; I didn't know vou cared
so much; but that settles' it, jon6halI
go." .
After Mrs. Tracy and tho baby were
goue. Martha looked round tbo uiiornn.
uieutcd rooms and resolved that there
should bo something new, something
bright and pretty, lo welcome hack the
homo-keeper. Tho "front room" bad
never beeu furnished, but after consid
ering her resouicts, Mirtha thought bhe
could luuungo it, if sho could pirouado
Nathnu into buying a carpet.
"A carpel? why, MnrlLnl" he exclaim
ed, too astonished to say more.
What was Chra's old homo like?
You doj't want bcr to notice loo sharp
n contrast ou ber return," said tbo sla
ter, quietly.
-"1 may get a carpet," thoughtfully;
but so many other thiugs would hayj to
lollow."
'Nat, when father nud mother died,
we wcro going to divide thtugs, but yen
had no homo then, and while John aud
I stayed, oyer) thing remained the sime.
When I came btto, I sold or packed
everything, nud there U a big box for
you, which is on the way out here. Be
sides beddiuc aud clothing, there are
pictures, vatcs, curtains, a table-spread,
and some of mother's nice rugs. They
will help to fnruisb to furnish tho room.
1 guess you cau aOord to buy a cane
seat roclur aud two chairs, and we'll
make tbo rest." -
"I'd like to know how."
"Thero are two bottomless chairs in
tbo grauery; I will tbouha tho frames,
cushion sent and back, and with stripes
of embroidery aud heavy fringe they will
be handsome That old rocker v.hioh
is forever coming to pieces can be mend
ed and treated likewise, minus the rock

pine table, which jou euin make, stained
and varnished, nnd poverl with ILe j

"Well, it sounds praotloable. I'll

"There will be ottomans toinaka, a

mantlo to put up, and a cornloa for the
curtains, It will tako our spare time for
all winter, but how pleased Clara will
bo."
"I Intend to buve everything nico for
her some day."
"Yes, Nal; but n woman must bavo
something to live on iu tho meantime.
Thero's a lovo of tbo beautiful in overy
woman's heart, and It must be satisfied.
IT surrounded by grand scenery the
mind can fctd on that; but hero, lu this
level, monotonous country, I believe the
Lomes should be very bright nnd attrac
tive."
"There may bo some truth In that,but
I never thought of it before," replied
Nathtn.
"It is not common for n man to think
ubotit tbo homo as n woman does, for be
miuglss with the vorld.while.most of ber
hours nro spent Insido tho four walls.
Clara bad no time to fix up anything;
that baby was a sight of trouble; but if
you nud the children help, wo can do
woudem."
And they did. When Clara came
hotne four mouths later, she scarcely
knew tho place.
"Como nnd look at your wife," wills,
pered Martha, when Nathan bad finished
the ohorca and was ready lor a happy
evcuiug.
Tbeie sho was in tho protly room,
cha'ting with Ibo children. Joy nnd
Rladness shone through ber face, which
hod lost lis sharpness and pallor, and
thero was an elasticity in bcr movements
which recalled ber girlhood.
"Sho looki ten years youngcr.Martha,
nnd If I can help it she shall never work
so again. You've taught mo a lesson I'll
never forget. We'll take nil the oom
fort we can now if we never get a big
house,"
'Martha has made this so prelfy, that
wo Bhau't A-nnt nnotber," exclaimed
Clara, bearing bis last remark as they
entered the room. "I'm so thankful to
you all for this pleasant home-coming.''
"Martha deserves tho thanks, for sho
plumed it nil," said Nathan, catching
up the baby.
'Yon nro n jowel, Martha; nud to
think thnt I wai nrraid of you nud
dreaded lo have vos comt?"
' Wns that berausa you knew that I

"Vcs, that wns jnst it. I didn't know

sho said.
"Well," rnld tho tramp, "1 will carry
It in and pile it up nico if you give me
my breakfast?"
At Ibis offer the lady consented, aud
Ibe tramp went to work.
After he bad carried iu n couple of
arinfuls tho lady stepped to the door
nnd found him Bitting on tho pile with
his elbows on his knees and his face
burled in his hands.
"What is tho matter?" said she.
"Oh. ladv," mid he, looking up, "I
am so weak, for I bavo had nothing to
eat since day before yesterday," saut be
again covering bis fnco with his bauds.
This seemtd to rouio the lady's sym
pathy and she went in nnd soon returned
with an excellent breakfast. After be
had swept everything from tho board he
rose nnd said, "Thanks my lady, for this
sumptuous repast. Now let me cive
you this advice. Never let your sym
pathy get away with your discretion.
I'm off. Tn, In!" and he walked mnjesli
enlly out of the front gato.
The tramp had gone but a short di-

TRUST A SMALL (URL FOR LETTING

Tlio other day n Itocklnnd household
was raado proud nnd happy by the in
troduction cf n cabinet orgw. The
mother could play n littlo, nnd as thero
was a "popular collection of musio" in
cluded in the purchaso sho lost no lime
iu getting overy note nud slop Into
practice. The organ groaned nnd
wheezed nnd complained with tbo most
astonishing of musio, night nnd dny.day
and night, for a week. Theu ono moiu
iug there wns a knock nt tbo door, nnd
a liltlo girl from tho next house shrilly
said:
'riensj.mr'rm, mother wauls to know
if you won't lend her yo ir mtuichook?'
This was a btirprisiug request, Inas
much ns tho woman next door was
known to bo organless. After gasping
once or twice tlo amateur organistasked:
"What does she want with it!"
The child baelu't been loaded for this
question, so ehe iilralghlfoiwnrdly je
plied:
"I dou't know 'm sure, only I heard
mother tell father that if she had hold of
the book for n day or two mebbe some
body would get a rest."
Tho woman softly shut tho door in tho
littlo girl's face, nnd went and carefully
locked the cabinet organ with a brass
key.
HE CORNERED HER.
"Johnny, lake the broom nnd go out
nnd sweep the leaves off the pavement."
' 'Doggone the leaves! What makes 'em
fall so fast?"
"Tbo good Lord causes tbem to fall
each year to remind us that the end of
our season of life is ever close at baud,
and that wc, too, must soon fall."
"Well, when they oome out ngln in the
spriug, what is thnt to remind us of?
"That is to remlud U3 that if we nre
good we, liko them, wilt bud out new
nnd bright in paradise."
"Y'es, but them leaves don't bud out in
paradise; tbeyro jist ou the same old
trees on our pavement, Acoordin' to
thnt wo ought to hud ont again down
here whore we fall off at."
"nurry on out. Don't stand there
and talk so much."
"Yes, that's n good way to get out of

PRIDE IN ONE'S WIFE.
"Yes," b&idold Parmer Jones to n tray,
eler who was was slopping with him over
night, "I've gut as good n wile ns nny

"I'm uct married myself," returned
tho traieler, "but nevertheless I can np
prcciate the pride which a husband might
take iu a good wife."
"Why, stranger." went on the old
farmer carneslly. "I'vo known that wo
uinu to nit up nt i o'clock in (ho morn

for twenty mm, an' have the hull thing

"You dou't bay so," exclaimed the
stranger.

Therj never was n more concise

ot a scrofulous sore on tho w riat, until about

to cover his entire body. I assure-you he was

the blood to flow in many places whenever
I moved. My sufferings wero great, and my
life a burden. I commenced the use of tho

It regularly since that time. Sly condition
