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."
' He leaned buck Into the darkness for
a moment; then he rose and pushed
away his chair.

"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.

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,

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.

BANKRUPTCY
of the physical being is the result of draw
ing incessantly upon the reserve capital of
nerve force. 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. They have written a book of 16S
pages, treating of these maladies and setting
forth a rational means of hotne-lreatmeni
for tlieir cure. It is sent securely sealed, in
