W 1 U naulro. the llowcr of
the Keiths," sulci Mrs.
Wynford, the house
keeper to the fair,
girlish bride of the
owner of Kelthlclgh
abbey, Dorsetshire, pausing beloro the
full-lctiKth portrait of a young man of
apparently some llvo or six and twenty
yeais of nge. "Ahl how oft have I
heard my mother tell the talc of his
courting itlss Thurlow of the Hall, and
how her father, a proud, haughty man,
looked down on him because" hero
the old woman stopped, but Muriel
Keith, who, In spite of her elated po
sition as wife of the most Influential
man In the neighborhood, had not yet
outgrown her lovo of a story, said
quickly:
'Oh, tell It to me, good Mrs. Wyn
ford, please!" and taking a seat where
she could have a full view of the ma
tured face, with Its wavy brown hair,
deep blue eyes and beautiful features,
she waited Impatiently for the story.
"Well, ma'am," resumed the house
keeper, "you see, Jllss Thurlow was a
Great belle and had so muny rich nnd
noted men after her, and, Master Wal
ter was only a third son, with two
healthy brothers, so It Is hcarce to be
wondered at that her father refused
with scorn when the poor young curate
of St. Anselm's made bold to ask him
for the hand of his only daughter In
marriage. In vain Miss Marlon went
and plendcd nnd said that she rould
never love another; the old man was
Inexorable, swore loudly, and sent Miss
Marlon to her loom, while as to Mas
ter Walter, he drove him from the
house, telling him never to dare enter
It again. And then went back to .his
pipe and Spectator In cool disregard
ow the two young hcaits he had so
well nigh broken.
"Mv mother wns a young woman at
that time and she lived to rsach her
more than three score years and ten,
but she often said that she could never
forget the face of the curate ns he
walked Into the library on the evening
after he had been at the Hull; all the
glad light seemed to have faded from
his usually Wight blue eyes and ho
moved and spoke ns one In a drtmm.
"About eight months after that there
was a wedding In Hanover Square and
the bride was the beautiful daughter
of Sir Spencer Thurlow of the Hail.
Hut, in spite of the grandeur of the
nuptials bright flowers, sweet music,
etc , to say nothing of the magnlflcent
rent roll of the bridegroom It was well
known that her heart was not In It. 'A
match forced by her father to sav her
from forming an alliance with some
poor country curate with no exoecta
ti is. iwis uhispeiod by the great peo
ple that thronged to the marriage
feast. 'What a lucky escape!'
And Master Walter, you ask now
he boii' It?
Ahl as few men would or could; ho

K.w hid not done quite so well after
all and abut Mr. Leonard, her hus
bind, treated his young wife shame
fully, and there was a lumor that ho
had lost largely In speculation, and
soon after a report that ho had died,
leaving absolutely nothing. So much
for a forced marriage!
"Sir Fpeneer started to find his
daughter and fetch her home as soon
as he heard of tile death of his son-in-law.
Hut traveling was slow In those
days, and when he leached the humble
little cottage wher she had spent the
last months of her mairied life ho
found the heavy woodui shutters fast
barred and a look of utter desolation
about the whole place. To all hla
queries the only answer was that after
the gentleman died the lady and her
maid had gone off suddenly, but whero
nobody semed to know. The old man
employed detectHes, spent money, etc.,
but all to no avail; and nt length,
dlshenrtened, ho returned home, an 1

Master Guy, who was at that time this
squirt, went for a cruise In his yacht
on the Mediterranean, accompanied by

than 30 years' ago, bui never to this
day has word been heard of the civw
01 ewel. So after months of anxious
waiting the curate of Si. Ar.selm'3
took his place as yqutre of Kelthlclgh
Abbey.

whispered to Hes, the great blood
hound, and ran quickly to the door.
The ground was covered with snow,
and In the moonlight ho saw very
plainly two figures, the one a. rough
looking man, the other a thinly clad
boy of some 8 or 10 years, carrying a
violin. At Hex's deep growls the nun
took to his heels and flpd, but tho
child, too exhausted to move, sank
down a helpless mass on the snow.
The squlro lifted him up and carried
him tlnderly Into the warm, cheerful
study. It was many a Jong dny slnco
a child had been In itho old abbey, and,
It caused great excitement, even
though this was only' an unknown
strolling violin player; servants hur
ried here and there, with hot blank
ets, mulled wlncetc. Truly there was
something almost pathetic In tho small
pale face, with Its black eyelashes and
curly dark hair. Those who stood by
never forgot how tho tears came Into
the squire's eyes when he saw tho
deep welts that cruelty and hard usages
had made on the tender flesh of tho
boy. One Uttlo arm was mnrked with
the letter 'C,' which made all wonder
and old Thomas, the butler, whispered
to Margaret, the coon: 'Mark my
words, there's some mystery about tho
lad; he doesn't look a bit like an Ital
ian fiddler.'
"His name was Carlo; he did not
know how old he was; Marco had never
told him that.
"The master, the man for whom he
played the violin, and by whom he was
beaten In return.
"Not his father?
"Oh, no, he would not remember his
father at all.
"Whero was his mother?
"He didn't know; sometimes when
he was asleep he dreamed that a sweet
face smiled upon him nnd a soft hand
tenderly smoothed back the curls from
his brow, but whether It was his
mother, or the picture of one of the
saints (that he had seen one day when,
unknown to Marco, he had made his
way Into a chlcsa at Rome) come to
life, he was never quite suie."
"Would he like to live with the
squire nnd be his little boy?"
"In answer the child leaned his dark
head against the man's shoulder, and
from that Instant there was a firm, un
dying affection established between
Walter Keith, master of Kelthlclgh Ab
ney, and Carlo, the waif.
"Six years after and Master Carlo
was as bonnio a lad ns you'd find of h's
age in the UnltedTvingdom. Ills lovo
for the squire had grown with hla
growth nnd strengthened with his
strength, and Mr. Keith often used to
wonder how he had ever gotten along
without him.
"In tho year that I became house
keeper the squire caught a heavy cold,
which settled on his lungs nnd for a
long time threatened to end fatally, so,
as soon as he was able to stand It the
doctor ordered complete rest and
change of scene. So, accompanied by
tho lad, he started for Italy.
"One day, while at Rome, after leav
ing the Vatican, he was stopped In tho
street by a neatly dressed woman, who
In face nnd manner of speech was de
cidedly Spanish. 'My mistress Is dying,
my pulr bonnie leddy, nn' wad ye nil
come and say a wee bit prayer after
she gaes?' she asked, with tears In her
eyes.
"Mr. Keith turned on tho spot, never
Inquiring what the disease (which
proved to be the fatal Roman fever)
wns, and hurried along by the woman's
.side.
"Had her mistress been 111 long?
"Not in this great danger, but she
had been ailing about nine years, ever
since little Carlo, her only bairn, was
accidentally drowned.
"Was she a widow?
"Ye, her husband died about three
months before the child was born,
leaving her without a penny. She was
by birth an Englishwoman, nnd has
written again nnd again to her father,
a rich baronet, for help, but hns never
received any answer.
"Did they ever find the body of tho
boy?
"No, but they had positive proof of
his death. 'For,' said the wo'iinn, 'mho
morning while I was fixing my leddy's
hair the wee bit laddy was playing In
the gaiden. and after, when I went to
fetch him In, I couldna find the bairn,
but what I did ilnd wns his tiny tap
floating upon the Tiber. On that day
my pulr mistress' heart broke, and she
has never ')een the same woman since.
Here wo nre at th" house now! Will
ye come In I don't much think she
will understand ye she's too far gonj
for that, but I ween sh'd be fnln to
ken that one of her nln klik was with
her at her last hour.'
"With thesu words she led him up
a winding stairway into a small,
meanly furnished room, closely fol
lowed, though unpercclved, by tho boy
Cailo. On tho bed the form of a wo
man was lying, her face, which, in
spite of Its pallor, still had some claim
to beauty, was scarcely less white
thnn the pillow Itself.
" "Ah" she said in a voice so weak
nnd low ns to bo hardly heard. 'I
have had such a sweet dream, Janet,

ening Days,
I dreamed that I was back In Ens
land, dear old England, once more;
It was vesper time on u Sunday af
ternoon, and I heard this of old the
hymn that we loved so well, ho and I,
'Abide With Me." and lie was by my
fide, and little Cyril, bright and beau
tiful, raised his sweet, clear voice at
the last verse, nnd then I awakened.
Hut, Janet, listen well to what I say.
Something tells me that my boy wa3
not drowned, ns we s' long supposed.
I have thought not for some time
past, nnd now, I feel sure of It. You'll
knew him, Janet,' here her voice rose
full nnd clear, 'by the letter "C" In
Old English on his left arm.' Hero aha
paused, but Walter Keith gave a deep
cry, and sank on his knees by the bed
side, while Carlo, with wondering eyes,
crept softly up and knelt beside him.
" 'Ping, my boy; sing the last verso
of that hymn ct which she has jusc
spoken,' said the squire In an agi
tated tone. And then lose the voice
of tho lad In its clear treble:
" 'Hold Thou Thy cross before my clos-
!ng eyes;
Shlno thruoBh tho gloom and point mo to
tho sklos.
Heaven's morning breaks and earth's
vain shadows flee.
In life, In death, Lord, abide with me.'
" 'Cyril,- little Cyril,' the dying wo
man murmured In a tone of such con
tent, but so very faint, and the damp
ness was fast coming o'er her brow.
So the squire quickly began the Com
mendatory Prayer.' but scarcely had
lie done so when for tho first time since
they entered the room she opened her
eyes, and soon after with n smile of
Ineffable love, exclaimed: 'Walter, O
my beloved!' In a voice that rang clear
and strong, and then died away In tho
deep, deep silence of death. For a
long time the squire knelt by tho body
of the only woman he had ever loved,
with the small brown hand of her son
held tightly In his. You have heard
the rest, my lady, how he caught the
fever, and h'ow on one lovely autumn
day the body of tho good squire was
brought back to Kelthlelgh, accompa
nied by tho heart-broken little Sir Cy.

save: 'Walter Keith, Priest. Eighteen
hundred and thirty-seven, Requleseat

had taken the tired soul to Its rest
knew just how well tho burden and
heat of the day had been borne."
Here Mrs. Wynford finished her
story, but Muriel, who had been In
tently listening, asked, quickly: "And
what became of tho boy?"
"O, Leonard, dear, Mrs. Wynford has
been telling me such a story of " here
she pointed tn the portrait, "nnd how
kind he was to n poor little waif, who
afterward turned out to be the son of
the woman whom he had wished to
marry; you have heard tho tale before
now, Leonard, but can you tell me
aught of the boy, Sir Cyril V"
"Why, yes; Muriel, my darling, tho

things that he did wns to buy the old
Abbey and to add the name of Keith
to his own family name. Hut If you
wish for proof of the truth ot her

HYGIENE OF BARBER SHOPS.
Precautions Necessary to Prevent the
Spread of Disease.
From the Medical Journul.
It has been abundantly established
that disease Is not rarely transmitted
thrpugh tho mediation of the barber
shop, and tho Issuance by the Pennsyl
vania state board of health of a leaf
let of "Hygienic Hints for Harbors and
Hairdressers" (Circular No. 02) Is
therefore a step In tho right direction.
The board recommends that no person
suffering from any disease of the skin,
scalp or hair should act as a barber,
nor should any one suffering from
pulmonnry tuberculosis or any disease
commonly known as contagious servo
In this capacity. When diphtheria,
scarlet fever, smallpox, measles, or
other contaclous diseases occur In the

The place of business should be kept

Pei sons suffering from any dlseaso of

should be caiefully disinfected.
Customers should be encouraged to
own their own Instruments (razors,
soap, brushes, etc.), nnd in the ense
of those suffering from diseases of thv
skin, scalp, or hair, this should be
compulsoty. For operations on a dead
body, the barber should have Instru
ments used only for this purpose,
Razors and clippers may be disinfect
