"Well, Elsie," he said, taking her in his arms and caressing her, "what about Aunt Julia ? Do not sob so, dear ; you will make yourself sick." "Ihe nre! said tlsie, keeping n-r sobs somewhat more under cont'd. "You know I was very much wor ried when I heard of it for I eould not tell by tbe papers whether Aunt Julia's house was in tbe burnt dis trict or not." For the ereat Chicago fire was not a week old, and the whole coun try watched for news.. " ell, dear," said alter Kinaiy. It is as bad as it can be, Walu-r.

But un fortunately, she was persuaded to draw out her tiny fortune and invest it in two lots adjoining ber house. Now everything is swept away." "She took care of you when you were a child "For seventeen years, Walter, de nying herself to feed and clothe me." Walter . did not speak ngain for many minutes, holding Elsie close in his arms. At last he said, very gravely: r "If I were a rich man, Elsie. I would not stop to think in a case like this, but say at once 'Bring vour aunt here.' " Cot you know, little wife, my i salary, though 'sufficient for all bur wants, wflh a margin for pleasure and saving a nest egg. is yet not large. If I invite your aunt here the difference of expense must fall heavily upon you because I can not give you many pleasures you enjoy if I have one more to support, ('nnocrta and iewelrr. little rifts and pleasures, -will be beyond onr meftns then. But if you will be happier knowing your aunt has a home, 1 will go myself to Chicago and bring her here." . "Oh, Walter, how kind, hw gen- erousyou are ! I will never be able to thank you "Then I am to go. All right I will get a leave of absence to-morrow. In the meantime i will teiegrapn your aunt to meet me at the depot if she has sent anv address."

"Think. Ekie, I have not been in a bed for twelve nights P ' But, ai&s. she was not soon to leave it The haven, of rest once gained,Auiit Julia lay for many long weeks daDgerously ill with rheumat ic fever brought on by exposure, while the tortured brain, in wildest delirium, raved of scenes that chilled Eh-ie with horror. . .. All through thesfr-wVary weeks El sie was nurse, while Walter supplied every delicacy, that could be found to tempt the invalid, patiently en dured the discomforts of a house haunted by sickness, and proved himself Jennie declafed, "the near est to an angel of any man ever she seed." Winter was nearly oyer before Aunt Julia was able to leave her bed crippled for life. The rheumatism had so twisted the joints of her hands, legs and feet, that they were useless, and most of the time intense ly painful. She fretted over the prospect of teiDg a burden upon I Walter and Eieie, with all the des-! pair of a irju J woman who had al- ways maintained her own indepen dence, and tearfully begged to be sent to some charitable asylum, where she would be only a public i-xnense. Elsie told Walter of this ! wish, and he went to Aunt Julias room. Taking the crippled helpless bands io his own, holding them very ten derly, he said : "Aunt Julia, Elsie has told me how hard these little hands worked for her for seventeen long years. I love Elsie so dearly that to grieve her is my greatest sorrow. Do you think I could bear to see her pain if ber second mother was sick and alone, nursed by hired hands while we are able and' willing to give her love and care? Uo not speak again ot leaving us. l nave not seen El sie's face so sad as it is to-night since you came to us." "But Walter, think. I may live for years." "I sincerely hope you wilL" "And I can never have any use of my hands and feet more than I have now. I can scarcely feed myself or hobble across the room." uThe more reason you should Lave loving care. Why," and Wal ter laughed, while his honest brown I eyes proved his sincerity, "do you j think all the love here is Elsie's ? I i want my share too, auntie, for I love I you as well as mv wife. I ask you to stay, because I want you here. 1 have not heard Elsie sigh over long lonely days since you came." It took manr more Joying argu ments, but at last Aunt Julia yield ed. It was but truth that Walter spoke when he said she had won his love as well as Elsie's. She was very patient under excruciating suf fering, and very grateful for all the loving care lavished upon her. When the pain subsided and she could talk, she was charming com pany, well read and full of pleasant memories and bright observations. While she felt herself a burden. Walter and Elsie regarded her as a j blessing.

It was while she was herself conscious that i the end of suffering was approaching that she received a letter from ber that he had received an offer of tbenty thousand dollars for the lot of land she owned in that city. She had looked upon her own beggary as so absolutely certain that at first she could scarcely cred it the news ; but Walter, in whose hands she placed the business, soon proved the offer no dream by accept ing the terms and informing Aunt Julia the money by in the bank in ber name. "Now, you can ride ia your car riage when you are well," Elsie said, smiling but tearful. "I am so glad, Auntie. Vnn -;n h... -,.k; v " bviucuiiuk .M J - "Bat no old sge, Elsie," was the' glad reply.

Tears of true love fell upon the wasted face, placid in death's sleep. Every kind word was cherished when the lips that had spoken it were mute, and Aunt Julia had two true mourners at her funeral while many of the friends of years gone by came to pay the last tribute of respect to her memory. It did not surprise Elsie when she learned that Aunt Julia had left her the fortune that came too late to gladden her own life. But she told Walter when the will was read to her: "I am glad we never thought of the land, Walter, in the years that Aunt Julia was with us. It would have made me hesitate often to show her all the love ih my heart if 1 had ever thought she would have money to leave me." "She knew, darling, it was all love yet I am glad my Elsie has some re- ward tor the patient tendVrcnrethat alleviated the suffering of the poor invalid who rests at last And Elsie, r.es'Jing close in " Wal ter's arms, said softly : "If I could love you more, Walter, than I did when I married you. I should do so when I think of your kindness and generosity to Aunt Julia." "It was odd," Walter said, "that the money that Aunt Julia invested in Chicago should be actually doub led, for I have seen her weep often when 6he spoke of her 'unfortunate investment' of her friend's legacy." Waste of Bullets in War. Our readers may have seen or heard the statement that it takes a soldier's weight in lead to kill him in battle, and they may have consnler- lt to be merely a rhetorical hy- fact that comparatively few out of the whole number of shots in war take effect It seems, however, that the assertion, which originated with the famous Marshal Saxe, was prov ed by Cassendi, after careful math ematical calculation, to be no exag geration, and, with ail the improve ments that have been made in mus kets and the art of using them effec tively, it is still not far from the truth. At the battle of Solferino a comparison of the number of shots fired on tbe Austrian side with the number of killed and wounded on the part of the enemy, shows that seven hundred bullets were expend ed for each man wounded, and 4,200 for each one killed. Now, as the average weight of the ball used was thirty grams, it must have required at least 120 kilograms, or about 277 pounds of lead to kill a man. In the Franco-Pruasian war the great slaughter caused by the needlegun amony the French shows how much superior that firearm was to the Austrian carbine: but about 1,300 shots were fired then, to accomplish the destruction of a single soldier. It is found in practice that a great majority of the wasted bullets go over the heads of the enemy; hence resort is sometimes had to to the ex pedient of pressing down, by means of a staff, the muskets of a platoon about to fire, a sergeant being de tailed for the service. When the shots are aimed at an isolated sol dier, tbe chances against him are, of course, greater; but even then the waste of lead is sometimes enor mous, in the f ranco-rrussian war, according to an officer who witnees- ed the performance, a rrench com pany of chasseurs fired for a quarter . of an hour at a large German mounted sentry posted on a hillock about three hundred yards off.

What a man cannot get with po liteness is out of reach of everything but a club. Reason without faith is at least, but a blind giant. There is a great deal of impudence but no bravery in infidelity. if there is a man more base than others on God's footstool, it is the one who will weaken you over a bot tle of wine, and then take the rd- vantage of you. henever I hear a man muttering audibly to himself, I conclude that he is either drunk or a fool, possibly a little of both. A man's conscience is after all the only really God-like thing there is in him. There is a great many things that money cannot buy, but there i3 more that it can. The best man on earth to-dav is the one who works fur a living, and does a square job for the money.
