Joel tries to persuuilo .Mary Ann and when she refuses, he tukes to koIiik on Htrees. 'ne niKht he stays away front the t'ove,' and Mary Ann Koes over to his house and lakes pure or his little children. On his return the next clay, he explains that he hnsl not been on u spree, hot thut he has been kept away by jury service. He tells her that he Is Ruin to Rive up (IrlnkliiK. She Is much ufl'eclca. The day alter this he dresses tip in his best Clothes unit Koes over to nee her. 1 TAKT J I. Irt a few minutes Mary Ann came out, lirlnphiK two chairs with Iter. She would not Invite lilin into her house, but he would Kit there with hint In tplte of ull thut Mult DiKby mlRhl put Into circulation ubout her. Mutt's )iuuse, on the left,' was dark. Joel was happy over the thutiKht that he had irone lo bed, and that she could not liuve heurd him oen the gale and list-end the HtepH. Hut Mury Ann knew thut If Matt was ullve she was Klttlns ut the open window, 3D yards from the liorch, HtialnliiK her eyes and ears to nee and heur all she could. However, Slaty Ann soon forgot Matt IMpby. There was somethlnff tense and manly in lloltitclaw's face that absorbed her. He waited until site had sealed herself before he sat down, then he placed hi chair near to hers. I've come to the conclusion some thing's Kot to he done, and that itilck, Mary Ann," he Iiokuii. nervously strok ing hi" beard. "This way Of KoltiK rm don't seem to nie to lie Hull!. I nln't Rood enough for such a ptvlty Rlrl ns you are that could pit the best husband In the country, hut I'd he a better, more steady man if 1 hud you. 1 believe that If Sarah could look down 1 from where she Is. she'd want you to bo a comfort -to tne and a mother to her children. When she made nie make that promise site was jnst peevish and jculoUK. because Matt 1'iKby had said so much' to her about me a-courtliiK of you. M've always thought If she'd Just u-heeii in her rlKht mind at her" death, she'd a-rcleased nie." Mary Ann started. She spread out her skirt curefully and then smoothed her apron over It. She Klauced at him ; fihyly, und then looked cautiously through the darkness at Matt IMitby's window before venturing upon a reply. "Why. Joel," she said, suddenly, "I never did hear all about It, because 1 I didn't want to seem interested, but somehow 1 pot the Idea that that she asked It on her deathbed." ' "No such thing!" he answered quick ly. "It. was fully three months 'fore she died, when she was starting off for a visit to Aiint Molly Peevy, over In Fannin' county. On the way home she had a stroke of paralysis, and did not know a thing till she died two days later." , Mary Ann moved uneasily, and her Vhuir creaked. She felt that she was lending him on to talk of such things, und Khe w.ahted to change the subject. "Little Joe tells me that Mrs. IVevy Is coming to see you tomorrow." "Thai's what she wrote the other day. She'll get here about eleven o'clock In the morning." "She'll be hungry." replied Mary Ann, "and she won't be in no tlx to set right In and cook dinner for you ami the chil dren. If you'll let tne, I'll have you all come over and eat with us. I reckon nobody won't talk about It with Mrs. IVevy on hand." ."Thut'll be just thP thing!" he cried. "It'll be a right sore of a welcome. Aunt Molly always did think a lot of you folks." The conversation paused. She saw from his face that he was coming back to the subject uppermost In his mind, nnd she would have stopped him If she could have resisted the temptation to hear what he had to say. It seemed so much like the time when he used to come to see her in' the years before. There, In the semi-darkness, he did not seem to have changed greatly. True, his hair was slightly gray, but his eyes and his Voice were the .same nnd he. still loved her. "I'll tell you wiut. Mary Ann," he Went on, tenderly. "I've made up my mind that I just can't do another year without you. 1 am uble to keep straight and decent when I've got something to live for. You know 1 did all tight when Sarah was alive, although me and her wasn't at all suited nor never wus. Now;, If 1 am willing to set aside that unreasonable promise, surely you .ought not to object. It wouldn't be you Va-tlolng of It." She caught her breath and shrank from him as he leaned toward her. "Don't talk that way, Joel," she pleaded. , "I'll do anything on earth to help you. I'd willingly work my fingers to the hone; but 1 'can't sing against a dead woman. Hesldes, we'd both be churched for It, and we couldn't live In the community. The Lord knows I'd .'rather be your wire. I'd die the next mlnufe. It.seems to me. to be able to call myself that. If It was right. In the sight of (bid. Hut it would he a sin. and there nln't no good or happiness in sin."

Johnson and Bicliellon "There Is two sides to It." he said, desperately. "You say it will be a sin against a dead womau. What about it being u sin against a living man? You can save nie from the dogs If you wunt to. If you don't marry nie, the Lord only knows what will happen. I've Just got so much mortal strength and no more, I can stand out against tempta tion when life is worth living, but that's all. I am as weak us u rug tonight." She covered her face with her hands. Her breast rose convulsively. A low sob escaped her, am) then a little nioan She got mi suddenly, nnd without a word shambled into the cundle-llt room behind him. She extinguished the cun dle. Her footsteps ceased nnd the room became so still that he could hear the dock on the mantel ticking. He leaned against the wall, hardly daring to draw his breath. Something told him she was on her knees beside her bi d. and he folded his arms and bowed his head. He tried to resolve to be a better ami stronger man; but he could think of nothing ex cept her bowed llglire and her sobs. Ten minutes passed, then he heard her coming. She advanced to him front the darkness and laid her band on his arm. Her hair, which hud always added such a charm to her fuec, hud become un fastened, and made her look so much younger. She held u handkerchief hailed in her hand. "tin away, Joel, and let this be your lust visit, after tomorrow at dinner," she said. "I have decided. It has been like dying a hundred deaths, but 1 can't be the cause of your breaking that promise. I admire you for making It to her, weak and sickly as she was, but 1 couldn't no longer If you broke it. A promise is a promise under Heaven: there ain't no It's und ands about It; It Is Just so. If you'll let me, I'll take the children and bring them up. I'll never marry, and they would be a comfort. A num by hisself cun'l do Justice to chil dren." He turned away. "Keep 'em," he said, huskily. "As soon us my crop Is In, I'll sell out and go west. 1 don't think we ought to be so nigh each other." He passed through the gate and en tered his house. Site stood motionless on the porch. She heard his heavy boots ringing hollowly on the bare floor, and watched the light In his win dow till it went mil. Then she went to bed. ThP next day about noon the hack brought Mrs. Molly I'cevy and her little hair-trunk and cat pet-bus to his door. Joel ami his children were standing at the gate, and a moment later Mary Ann and her sister came out and shook hands with the visitor and Invited them all In lo dinner. A tempting meal was spread In the kitchen of the two sisters, and Mrs. i'cevy could not hide her satisfaction at the sight of it. "I'm ns hungry as a bear," she said as she took her scat at the table. "I hain't tasted a bite since before day, except a piece of cold liver and some .buttered bread, and nothing makes me as hungry us a jolting vehicle." All were seated and had turned up their plates, when Matt Dlghy appeared at the door. "May I come in?" she asked with a smile. "I Just couldn't wait to come ami tell Mrs. Peevy howdy. Howdy you do, Mrs. Peevy? I'm glad to see you looking so hearty." Mrs. Peevy extended her fat hand nnd smiled and nodded, but did not rise. Site was trying to remember where she had met Matt, nnd If she was a relative of Mary Ann or Mrs. llatson. Matt sidled along the wall and sat down on a dosed chest In the chimney- She Canglit Her llrenth unJ Shrank from lliin. corner, and tried to look pa If she did not see the dinner-table. Mrs. liutson had never been accused of inhospltal Ity, even to peoplp as unwelcome as Matt Dlghy, so she said: "Shake thut cat off that chair. Matt, and pull It up and ent n bite." Matt obeyed, muttering something about having put on some potatoes to boil, but that they would keT-p for sup per. ' "I had llteriy forgot that Joel had such good neighbors,", sn id Mrs. I'cevy, with her mouth full of turkey; "I'd think h'm and the children would just live over there." Mary Ann, who sat opposite Joel and the children, blushed scarlet, and busied herself In hclning Matt's plate to vegetables. Matt Dlghy laughed softly nnd signillcantly, and Mrs. I'cevy went on, ns she reached to Hie center of the table nnd broke n piece off the lurge corn pone: "I hain't got a bit of patience with you, Joel, nohow. I 'lowed you would have hud the common sense to get you another wife before this, especial ly as Sarah wanted you to.". . "It was just the other day," replied" Joel, his eyes Irresistibly drawn to Mary Ann's faf-e. "She made me prom ise never to mArry again." Mrs. TVevy laid her knife and fork down. She rested her hands on the edge of the table, nnd stared at him over her glasses, "I know she did nncp," she said, won derlngly. "Hut that was before she come to my house. Over there, during our big meeting, me nnd her had a long talk. She confessed she had been nar row and spiteful, because she had heard about you and Mary Ann's doings before you married. A powerful change come over her. She sr.w she was going to die, and she wanted to prepare for It. Why, she told the the chief thing she wanted to hurry hdme for was to re lease you from that promise, and make her Tieuce with some fc.lks she had russed with. Why. Joel, didn't Sarah mention It when she cot Ijome?" He whs pale, and the hand encircling his goblet of milk wn trnnibllng. "She had a stroke of paralysis on the way over," he replied. ")nd she didn't know a thins from then on 'till lu-r death." "My I.orl! And all this tlmo you've been a-thlnking . Why, what a pity! Well, that needn't he no'hlndrance any longer. Site actually wanted you to marry. 1 can testify to that: and It's your duty, if if you have found uny body." Mary Ann rose abruptly to pick up the siMHJti little Joe hud ilropl-d. She did not resume lu-r seat, but went into the shting-room. There was a silence. .No one was eating except the children. Matt Uigby was smiling, half sardon ically, half fearfully, and watchliiK Jo el's face. H-? got tin and awkwardly pushed Ids chair under the table. Tin going in there U speak to her." he said, and lie went. Into the other room and closed the din.r. Mrs. Wcvy "Your Tomin' Is a Godsend to I s Dotli." shrugged her shoulders, and with a very serious face helped herself bounte ously to the apple dumpling and the sweetened milk. The meal was finished when Joel came back, a manly sheep Ishness on his face. "You Just come In the nick of time, Aunt Molly," he said. "I'll never get over being obliged to you. 1' in going to run over and feed my stock. 1 reckon I'd better not be around for awhile. Mary Ann Is mightily tensed, but she's w illing. Your cumin' Is a godsend to us both." As he went out at the buck door. Matt Dlghy rose and started to go to the sitting-room, but Mrs. llatson detained her. "I wouldn't bother her Just now If I was you. Matt." she said, peremptori ly, und Matt sanU back Into her chair. The end. .smrsTRiAi.. Wheat hns advanced 10 rents per bushel In the Puget Sound country. Anthracite coal Is lower in Chicago, and Is very cheap In Huston. The Knglneetlng and Mining Journal expects the presidents of the coal com panies to do something Important on Thursday and thinks coal will be ad vanced In price in February. Andrew Morrison, roadmaster of the Wvoming division of the Lehigh Val ley railroad for thirteen years, and a prominent citizen of White Haven, has tendered his resignation, to take effect Feb. 1, and has accepted the posi tion of civil engineer for Dllworth. Por ter & o.. the lurgest and most ex tensive manufacturers of railroad sup plies, at Pittsburg. It is understood by the Hazleton Sen tinel that the Lehifjh Valley will In augurate the three-fourths system Feb. 1. They are likely to be followed by other Inrge companies. The Coxes nre now rushed so hard that they had to put an extra crew and engine on the Amboy division last week, and their mines nre still grinding out coal at an unrestricted rate. The same is the case at Mllnesvllle and Lp.ttimer. The Le high nnd Wilkes-BuiTe company has ulready Introduced restriction. The latest and most fashionable scheme to enable stesm roads to com pete with the trolleys Is a couch cap able of seating seventy-live people, with a steam motor In a cap at one eml of the conveyance. The motor Is worked by a moderately high pressure derived from an upright tubular boiler and one mun can run the car and do all the firing. The car Is capable of running thirty miles an hour and as only a conductor and engineer are re quired, P will cost only half as much In running expenses as an ordinary ac commodation train. These cars ran he run frequently through thickly settled communities. According to the figures presented nt the meeting of the anthracite presi dents lust week, 1S!)S broke all records for the production of hnrd coal. The Heading railroad had as usual, a de cided lend, producing the full percent age claimed at Its proper quota by its otliciuls. Following are the figures for the various companies, IMC.. .

Have you ever heard the true story of how "ICvangellne" came to be writ ten? Mr. Hawthorne went one duy to dine with Longfellow, bringing with him his friend II. V. Conolly. whi had been a rector in n South Hoston church. At dinner Conolly said that he had been trying to interest Hawthorne, but vain ly, In a story that he desired written. This story hud been told him by a parishioner, a Mrs. I inlibtirtnn. A young Acadian maiden, who, at the dispersion of her people by the English troops had been separated from her be trothed lover, sought htm for years in her exile, and at last found him in a hospital, where he lay dying. Mr. Longfellow was touched by the story, especially by the constancy of the hero ine, and said to his friend: "!f you really do not want this incident for n tale, let me have It for a poem," unil Hawthorne consented. Out of this grew "Kvnngeline," whose heroine was first called Ciabrlelle. 1IH1TAIM AM) OLR M ANY.

The wear, tear and strain of modern life arc concentrated upon the nerv ous system. The voting men of otr day be come sufferers front nervous debility or ex haustion, nervous prostration or weakness. This may be the result of too much mental worry and excitement, or the result of bad practices and excesses, or pernicious habits, contracted in youth, throitRli ignorance. They feel irritable, weak and ucivous with such distressing Kvmjitoms as backache, dizziness, shooting'paius in head or cheat, sometimes indigestion. The middle-aged men, as well, sufler from exhaustion, loss of manly power, low spirits, impaired memory, nnd many derangements of mind and body. The ill-used brain is morbidly wide awake when the overworked business uian attempts to find rest in bed. The physicians and specialists of the In valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute devote their best energies lo reclaiming and restor ing such unfurttumtes to health and happi ness.
