A '0.MAXS KltltOlt.
I-iirly one thill Ot-tolK-r day a jzirl
i-jiine quickly alomrthc farm lanes tow
ard Marl. 1. hi. There had Uvn much
lain mid little fnisi that autumn, so
that the country had not t-uiti- lost it-
summer t i tijrt of jireene, hut winds had
Mown iiieessttntly ami irivcn the foila-A
a tattered, disconnected look. Soine
thino of the same look, scared and un
easy, was rejM-iited in t lie jrirl's face.
Kvcry now and then jrlaitccd U-hind
her, as if she cxectcd to hear f.mts!ejs
or a mil. Nithinr (tune. The impu
tation in this counlry district was .scan
ty, ami she only passed a cart, driven
liy a iii-iii, ami two or three children,
truants front school, who were climli
inji the heiloes in search of the few re
niainiii'i hlacklH-rrics. As she saw them
in the distance the uneasy look in her
cye U-csiine more ninrkiil, and she
scurried l.y them ou the opposite side
of the narrow, muddy lane without a
(I'jfstioii, although she w.t sure they
could have told her what she wanted
to know.
Presently she came tiit-on an out-lyinjr
whitewashed cotta-ie, with a garden
still full of chrysanthemums and frer.i
iiiunis and smoke tlyin-; liirlitly out of
a chimney. Site paused, then closed
her rather tremulous mouth determin
edly. "No," she said, "I won't. I'll
tl nil the house soiiu'how.
At last, sccino; a man woikin- in a
field, she called to hint over the irate :
"You needn't conic no nearer, hut I
wish youM tell me where the mini.-ter
lives."
"I ain't (Milling no luvtrer," said the
man, surprist-d. "Si t that little hit.
house hy the hit; elm? AnylxMly'll
show you."
She went away in the direction he
piontcd out. As she cam.' near she
heard the cry of a child ou tiie other
side of the wall and slackened iter pa. v.
''Well, it's his place, he'sjrot lociuiie,
and I was told t i fetch him." She r.ui
the hell and asked for the minister.
"I don't know as you can stv Mr.
Wo.n1," said the irirl who apivarcd in
answer, "hut if you like to step in you
can leave a niessaire with the misfs-s.'
She liciiattl. "I'll stop here," she
said.
In a minute or two she heard a liulit
footfall, and Mi's. Wood came into the
pa-ssa-re.
"You asked for my hushand she
said kindly. "1 don't know your fat v.
I think you must lie a stranger
"We haven't U-eli lit re loiijr. We'm
over to Arlington."
"And you wish to stunk to him ?"
"He's wanted to our house," the girl
answered in a dull tone, as if she were
rejK-atinsr a lessini. "John and Tom's
lKt!i dead, an. I mother's tlyimr. Fath
er's down, too, she added.
The curate's wile turned white and
tstcpiH-d liark.
"What is it?" she said faintly.
"I'ipthecry. Kveryl-ody's that seared
of us they won't come nigh the house.
Tiie hakt-r puts the hread inside the
garden gate." She se.ike sioli.Ily, as if
already the cutting oil' from human fel
lowship had liei-ome a matter of course,
and she did not look up at the shrink
ing figure of the wife and mother, who
sI.km! staring, hut as ni answer came
addeii, "The minister's wantttl."
"Why tli.l you coin.' here? Arling
ton is not in this parish."
"There's n use going to Mr. James."
"You must try. tin hack and say
mr hib-l-aiid can't conic."
The girl glanced at her with dreary
acceptance l-efore she made a a final
attempt.
"Mother's awful hail. The tloetor
says her can't last the night."
The other stood sillily, hraeing her
self to her word.
"It'sterrihle. Mr. Wood would lie
very sorry if he knew, hut he can't
come. He's away," she added. And
taking out a purse as meager looking
as herself she dropped a few shillings
into the girl's hand. "There, go," she
said hurriedly, "and mind you don't
siieak to any one in the village."
"I ain't going to speak to no one,"
returned the girl, with a touch of in
dignation in her voits... She held the
money in her limp hand without look
ing at it or thanking the giver, her eyes
meditatively fixed ujkhi the d ir, the
handle of which the minister's wife
was graping as though fearful that she
might force an cntrantv. Ontv more
she vaguely rceated, "Her won't List
the night."
"You'd U-tter go lisck at ontv."
They heard a child at that moment
call "Mother, mother ." Tiie girl lift
ed her heavy eyes and looked full in
the wife's face.
"Yes, ITI go," she said hrietly. Turn
ing away, she went along the road hy
which she had come, ami Mrs. Wood
stood rigidly watching her, still hold
ing the handle of the tlixir. A the List
flutter of the faded lihitf print was lost
round a corner the tension failed, and
she leaned against the door with all her
limlw trembling.
"What have I done? Wiiat have I
done?" she murmured, " If John
knew, he'd never forgive inc. What
business had they to send for John
when they're none of his?"
She patisol, her sene of just-c re
fusing to take shelter behind this

thought. Arlington was a tiny hamlet,
lyini' strictly uilhiu the borders of
another parish, where th. vie.ir was
vi ry old and infirm, but the curate of
Marldoit had never shrank from re
sponding to any c ill which cai:u from
the two or three families inhabiting tiie

refused now. A she felt in her own
conscience what his eonsi-iciiiv would
sutler for the act she s( irted upriyht
and turned to run and tell him. I Jut
she had one of those strong wills which
from their very Kiwcr over their jhis
sopors, are oft 'ii tins-asp i-te l, and it
rose up now like iron. "No," she said,
"he shall n it go. His throat is weak,
and he is so careless of infection that he
would let the children play about him,
as they always (l-i. If he had known
that he was wanted, I would not have
tried to stop him. I wouldn't lay the
siu of refusal ii(o:i his shouM.-rs, but if
I take it myself (io.1 cannot lie angry
with him. I will take it I do take it."
She lifted her jjr.iv face to the gray
skies, "(iotxl Lord," she said solemn
ly, the sin is mint-." Then she n-ciicd
the door and walked determinedly into
the little room wlit-ire her husband .was
writing. ,
"Who Wits that ?" he asked.
"Only a girl," she replied, her heart
beating.
"Xo one wanting me? Well, tluit is
a mercy, for I have stuck at this ser
mon long enough."
She hail gone U hind him and now
st-ood looking over his shoulder.
"How you slave day after day !" she
exclaimitl at List, with tin iuipatieutv
which surprised him. "If there's noth
ing else, there's always a H-rmoii to lie
written, and they take so long ! Ot'n.r
nu n tlon't spend so much time over
theirs,"
"1 never was quick at this sort of
thing," he H.linitUsl readily, "and I'm
not sure I do much good by it. How
ever, it has to lie done."-
"I wish you'd go way and take a
holiday !" she exeiaini-.tl abruptly.
"Take a holiday !" he ivpi-.ittsl in
i-.iuaenieiit. ' My dear, are you mad?
1'ray, what would the vicar say, and
who would do tiie duty ?"
"Oh, I'd f ml some one. I'm (itiit
certain I could find some one, ami you
are ltKiking so tired that you are very
likely to break down unl.-s. you gi t a
change. If it were only to Doiining
ton, John," she hurri.il on, putting up
her hand to check his interruption,
"It would l-e l-ctter than nothing, and
you know that Mary has Ih-ch worse,
and it would In- the greatest comfort to
tiieui !"
"My dear Ixmisii." She pushed his
hand aside brcatldc..
'Come, say yes, say yes, just to pleitse
me! Let me g.ai.-l pack your bag,
and then you can start by the ."train.
He l-egau to laugh.
"What are you talking aU.ut ? This
i October, and we will discuss a holi
day when Augut coitpsj around and
the vicar has had hi, I can't imagine
haw such an iinn-asnnahle id.-.s got in
to your heaal ! I'ray, take it away with
you and leave me to my sermon." A
she did not reply, he looked round and
saw tear in her eyes. "My dear love,"
he said ill a changed voice, "1 shall lie
gin to think it is you who are overdone
and want the holiday. If you are real
ly speaking seriously, recollect how
much illness there Is uUtut you know
I should not like to ! al-scnt even for
one night when it might U- a sick soul
wa in sore need of help."
"Kvcryth'uig falls ou you?" Her
tone was sharp and resentful, for al.
ready she was fighting with remorse
and a great fear.
"Wei!, well," he said, smiling, "we
needn't grumble. Hard work agree
with me, and, tl.nl knows, I've more
blessing than most men. Hadn't you i
better see what those children are
after?" j
Hinner time came, and she helped j
the children methodically, although
she wa more silent than utial, ai. i if
her husband had b.-cii an observant
man he must have noted it. Hi own
thoughts, however, were Uwy with the
i.ssil,ilji.s of a village reading r.ioui
he wa starting and with setting a j
Latin exercise for his boy. He had no j
conception of the n-morsc with which
his wife hrouuht unto fivl tlutv the I
hightcst obligation of life was bat
tling. It struck him at last, however,
that she looked even paler than u.iial,
and remembering with some uneasi
ness the little scene in hi study, he
said kindly, "I am afraid, my dear,
that tiie children have tired you."
"No," she said. "No." Then iu:tt
suddenly suddenly even to herself
for it -tli.l not seem to her that the
thought had dashed into her mind until
that moment, she added, "lSut if you
won't go to I'oiiningtou I l-elicve I
shall."
"You !" he exclaimed in utter U
wildcriiiciit, for hi wife's reluct nice to
leave home had passed into a proverb
in her family.
"Yes. Why not? Annie can man
age for you and the children for a few
iLiy, or perhaps your sister wou'.d
come.".
"Mary is not really wore, is she?"
"No. 15ut she feci seeing so little of
us. If you don't mind, I think I will
go this afternoon."
As she said these won I she flung
him a frightened look, but the iti-iazi-ineiit
of her first aunouncemcnt had
swallowed up that of the second.
"Of course I tlon't mind," he said
slowly. "I dare say y.m're right. I'm
afraid I've !eeii scllih in keeping you
away from poor Miry. Won't you
take one of the children ?"
"Oh, no, no, no !' she cried, with a
(piick shudder.
John WihkI wa a man of easy adapt
ations, and by the end of dinner the
first strangeness of her protxtsnl had
worn away. She wa relievo I from
any fear of his wishing to stv her off by
his telling her that he was obliged ti
go immediately to a distant part of the
imrish and would take the cider chil
dren part of the way with him. And
when he offered to leave her liag at the
station she said she would prefer to car
ry it herself.
"How long shall you stay?"
"Oil, jk-rhapA a few days. It will de
jienil up-iii what I find when I get
there. You won't expect letters will
you, John? I'm going to have a real
holiday."

"So it seems," he said smiling.
"l!ut do just what ym like, and by all
lneali-i enjoy your holid iy. I inu-t lie
oft. tJ.KMlliVe." And he kisscil her.
She would have lik" to warned hint
against taking the children into any
house where infection might lurk, but
darc.1 not. She felt as if the very word
would I ict ray her. Scarcely know ing
what she was doing, .she moved like a
p.-r-on in a dream, pai-kcd her clothes,
took the pudding in a ba-ket, saying
she want.-d it for a sick woman, kissed
the younger children and went out of
the house. As she passed the turning
wncre tlte r.nd branched to the station
her thoughts began ag tiil t follow,
uli'p hy step, the gii'l who had walked
along the ijrceii lane that morning,
unsatisfied. She had it tpii.-k imagina
tion, and she pictured her dragging
drearily back to the death haunted
house with no N-ttcr in.-ssage of com
fort than that that the minister wa
ii'i-sent. Suppose she spoke to any one
on her way home it wa only natural
for a girl to talk and learn the truth?

neighltor. would rise and cry shame
niton her husband her husband, who
would readily have laid down hi life
for hi ti.xl and hi Jn-iple, and she
would have brought it on him. It was
this conviction which now carried her
on her way. she could not have put
her intent inn into w ords, but really
she gfasH-d at the idea of atonement
which presented itself, fancying that if
she went to tend the sick wom-tu no
one could complain, and that her nurs
ing might save the flickering life. Then
in a day or two hc would really go on
t- her sister's.
At the il'ior of the first cottage she
reached si xxl the girl who h.td come
to her that mcriiii.g. She might have
b.rn expecting the doctor or watching
him depart. Although the cottage wa
close to the road, already it s.-cm .l t i
have put on an aspect of tragic forlorn
i less.
When Mrs. Wood spoke, the girl
tili-mtl In r face without showing any
surprise. It wa the older woman who
trembled.
How is she ?"
"Weaker," said the girl lac. n-e.i'.ly.
Tiie oth.-r turned pale.
"Ha the d;ctor It-en here?''
'-Yes."
"I'm come to nurse her. I hoeyou
won't mind, Ut-mse I know a good
ileal al-out sickness, and you must have
t ki much on your hn'id. Perhaps I
can do her some go.nl. At any rate,
I'll try," she ad l.-d humbly. "You
know who I am
"Yes," said the girl, half doling
her eyes, and glancing ft her vi-it
with what might have lieen indilt'er-t-ittv
or contempt. "You can c mi.' up
il'vou'iii minded to."
She led the way, ( limbing a rickety
taireae which led tiirectiy into a low
rooir witii one sm til wind w set de.-j-lyiinderan
tivcrii.inging ragged thateii.
Tiie room felt dreadfully sta.'Iy. Oia
iru. klc bed l-cneath a gray ci;intr
pane lay the siek woman by her side,
gaunt and livid, the Ira -lurid s it lean
ing forward, his arm resting on his
kii.ses. A the carafe's wife came lu-r-votisly
in he merely glanced at In r
without s leaking. The trag.-dy of his
loss or his own ilha-ss ai-orhc.l his fac
ulties. She looked around uin the
untidy, repulsive d. -tails, and the dis
gust they caused sick. -lied her so that
siie caught at a chair, as if the h .Id
up in it would prevent her from run
ning away. Then the stronger inip i!
sive swayed her again and carried h-T
to the woman's side although she saw
it wa useless to speak to her.
'"Is there anything we should give
her?" she asked tiie husband. Ho
pointed to a bottle.
"Tin-re's .some stuff the doctor left,
but her can't swallow." His own voice
was hoarse and raucous. To her it
sounded like tiie Voice of despair. Her
heart s ink lower a she began to real
ize her helplessness.
All through the time that followed
sh- fancied the dying worn m'. eyes
with an awful look in them, w.-re fixed
on her despairingly, til where she
would in tii r i i.ii, tii -y overt i '; h.-r
and asked why she h id tiis'iou 'iv 1 lc-r
(i. si and her husband. For a time she
fought tin-in with the iron strength of
her will, but they were stronger. Oae
by one they broke down in her defens
es and left her shuddering. Yet it
was night before ,-h gave away a!t.
gether. Tiie girl had goneil own stairs
tiie man was sleeping, when she fell
iiaiii her keen by the bed side and
cried out pittMU-ly : "Oh, tlon't, tlon't
curse me anymore! II - shall come
t.i-morro'.v."
Wa it fancy that the eyes which
held hers brightened ? For a m mienl
she thought so, and yet to her own ears
to-morrow sounded like a m.x-kery.
Wild dream of Hying to fetch him
were in her brain when a speaking to
the girl In-low, a step ou the creaking
stair, made ln-r heart stand still, for
step and voice were her husband's. She
sprang to her feet and shrank back,
her thin hands nervously grasping each
other and a she wa in the shadow he
did not at first distinguish her. P.ut a
his eye realized who it was he stopped
in sheer amaze incut.
"Louisa !"
She came out trembling and grasKil
ed his arm. "Oh, John !" she soblxil.
"What brought you ? I thought you
were at Donnington."
"You'll never forgive me," she said
disregarding. "They sent for you to
come this morning, and I wa afraid to
tell you."
"Afraid ?"
"Itecause of the infection and the
children. I said you were away, and
then then I grew so miserable, think
ing what they might say of you if they
found out that it wa a lie, that I
couldn't rest. I fancied I might come
and do something to make up- by nurs
ing her, but I haven't, John, tlon't lie
too nngry ! I'll never lx-so distrustful
again."
He m i le no answer to her apjiesil,
bat put her gently on one side and step
ped forward to the sick woman, wiio
lay more quiet. When he knelt and
prayetL, there wa a new fervor, a new
tenderness in hi dry voitv. Tiie girl
had come up, the man rolled off the
lied and stood with hi eyes fixed on
h'.s wife'. ashen fae Tiie other wife
hud her ti?e baric 1 lu her hands.
Pr,-s:ntly h.r hu-baiid touched lnr oa
Hie shoulder.
"t c.i down," he said. "I will c-.ine
prex-ntly."
Never liefore had she l.-eii afraid of
him, le.it his voice so indi-d like the
voice of a judge, and she said to Ir, r If
that h- could not furtive li.-r for hav
ing kept him aw ay until it w as too Lite,
and she did not dare disoiiey. -She
stood miserably at the ox-n .loir, look
ing out into the lane and si the light
swaying of the tr.s.s against a wind
swept sky, and it s-t mcd h mr lie
fore he joined Iht there.
''She is gone," In- said quietly.
!xl forgive me!" she retarn.tl with
a shudder.
"Don't you think yoa had IvtoTgo
and see if there is anything you til tlo
f..r them?"
' till, I can't!" she cried involuntari
ly, but the next moment she had left
his side and wa climbing the stairs.
When she came down again the two
went silently out into the Line. It was
siie who sxike tir-t. "You ii.s-d not
le afraid," she said, "I shall never
forgive myself." Then as h did not
answ. r, "how did you hear?"
"They told me in the village this
morning that there was -rious ilhic-vt
at Arlington."
"Yes; but of cour-v, if I had let you
know that a messenger had come t
fetch you, you would not have waited."
'I came pretty soou."
" This evening, I know, but too Lite
for that pK r soul to say w het w as w ant
ed. Oil, it was dreadful of me! Noth
ing that you can say is too bad."
"It was not like you, but, happily, it
did liol in liter to her, for I Walked here
directly after dinner. I did not t -II
you where I was going, Us-au-you are
so oa-ily frightened tdmnt infection."
"She -.topped and held him from her
with both hands. "You have Ik-cii
lu re Ix-fore til:.y".'"
"Why did you not know .' Did they
not tell you ?" he asked in surprise
"N.-t a word! Hat, John, I thought
it was you I don't understand there
was some one she wa loiii-.rt ring to
see?"
"Ah, yes, p.x.r woman! Tin y had

the death of tile two younger 1 oysthuli
they f;:lieicil, for she ha liecn calling
t!it for him all day. l!ut there wa no
xrssibility of getting at him."
She drew a long breath of relief.
"An. I this was what yo-u m-tint
wlicn you said you had st.nee tli.-tani e
to walk?"
"And what you meant when y. u
started for lAoiiuiugtoii."'
"Yes don't talk of it. I am a-ham-cd."
She wa silent, then cried out sud
denly, "The children! I am sure you
did not eve'l change your clothes w hen

From the Ix-trolt Kii-c rres.
Coar-st-graiiutl, rough in his way
and sxvch, the men in the shop waut
e i iioiie of his .x-iety and feit pity for
hi. wife and children. He kept his
place K-cau-c brute streixuth was need
ed instead of skill. Willie other work
men sung and whistled he was silent
and morose. Children sometime l-xU-ed
into the shop, but if they caught
silit of I'.ig Sai.i they tied in terror.
A child lost and frightened and hun
gering would have run away at sight
of that xsiwling face.
The other day, just Ix-fore the noon
h mr, something went wrong with one
of the machine in the shop. There
w a a crash and a smash, and work
men ran about crying out that Tom
White had l-en killc-d. They thought
so at first, but as they washed the blood
from his fatv and put a coat under hi
head for a pillow they di-siivcrcd that
life was still there. One man rushed
aw ay for a doctor, while l!ig Sam exIy
gacd at the injured man for a moment
and then put on hi c.tat and walked
out tl.-or.
"I'hat's like him a man without
the fellings of common humanity,"
l e 111:111 whispered to each other as
they not ic.! liis going.
Ikown tiie street and through the
yards came a tot of a girl not over six
years of age w ith a dinner ba-ket in
her hand. F.very iits.u for the List six
month she had put in an appferaiicc,
tin. 1 a score of the workmen had come
to know her as Tom White's girl. That
was her father's dinner in the Inisket.
Strange that n. one renn ml.-red that
as the whistle blew she would lie at the

walk in and stv that Maugb-d and

"Well, little lot, that's pop's dinner,

bisket. "I'll hand it in to him my .-elf
a i I you may run back home. 1 wish

'Yes, sir," she replied, as she st.xxl
wit'i a fnig.-r in ht-r in nit'i and shyly
I x.k.sl up at him.
"Is the mamma home?''
"Yes, sir."
"Wi ll, you run home like a g.xxlgirl
and teil her that your pa is coming
soon. II hurt himself a little just a
little, mind you and the I kiss says
he'll give him tie- rest of the the day
to smoke his pipe at home. I hi you
understand?"
'Yes, sir."
"Just hurt hi f.xit, you know, and
miylie we'll have to help him over.
Not much of a hurt, hut we'll ci.nieovcr
with him. Tell your ma we'll s.xm le
Merc, and site isn't to I a bit worried.
Your pa is just laughing over it, I. a:
we'll c i.ii ov, r -.. itii him."
Tin- child r..n away smiling, and Itig
Sam entered the shop with the dinner
basket in his ha. id. Tmn White otx-u-e

Sam. "I was out there in timctocatch

And whin the other knew what

Way He Pro3p2reL
A certain man was hanged, thai he
died. And left two sons, honest men.
Now one of tiie sons was a black
smith. Hut the other wa a physi
cian. And after their father had lxcu taken
from home tin-sc brother made their
home in other land.
And tiie bhtiksiiiiih would have
pr.tsper.-d. I5-.it i: lf,ll that oiicasked
him how hi father in i.le end. And
tii-blacksmith looking angrily up m
him, answered, "He was hung."
For the blacksmith wa an honest
man.
Ibovlx-it, presently, when a horse
was mis-iti.;, men gathered and hang
ed the blacksmilh, saying. "This man
luUsf takeaftiT his father," but whether
he taught Up with him the tale telle tl

At the sanit tiin--, in his own city,
one inquired of the physician by what
Mean his father tiled. And the physi
cian cover. 1 hi face and wept.
H it while he Wept he considered,
., ing w it'nin Liin s lf: "If I say 'He
was hanged,' then shall I shock this
man and give hii.i pain, and it i my
oiliec to relieve pain. Nevertheless I
must tell the truth."
He said therefore, "My father tli.il
of heart failure." And again he wept,
the questioner weeping w ith him.
Then, this being told, men said,
"Doubtless, since his fat her died of heart
failure, this gixl physician and loving
son hat'i made study of kindred di-i-ass."
So they resorted unto him.
And the physician lK-canie a sp.-cial-i-t.
And he bxiked at them who came
and coughed once and sneezed twice
and demanded slni. And they gave
gladly for the poyiseiaii was an honest
man.
Care of the Feet
Faithful care of the feet ha more to
do with gtxxl look than most young
ladies are inclined to lxlieve.
They must lx- kcj-t warm and coin
for.alle by proper coverings and by
d.iilv Uithing and rubbing.
No part of the Uxlv r.-quir.- bathing
more than the ..!, of the feet.
The xres here are very active and
should be kept (.pen.
If the feet are given to excessive
x-rspiratioii a few drop of ammonia
should be atldtsl to their daily Imth of
water.
If they bum, or are very tender,
I nit he tlit-ni ill weak ahim water.
The water should always lx- warm.

Memories of Home.
"The heart has ntc moric that never
die." The rough ru!of the world can
not obliterate them. Feeble age, treiuli
lingon t!ie brink of the grave, hastheiii
when till else has tbsl and lxeti forgot
ten. They are memories of home of
early home the time of gay dreams
and sunny hours, and cloudli-ss skies,
and visions of bliss and glorious hap
piness. The traveler climbing the
Mountain of land not his ow n, w ill,
amid all hi toils and all hi change,
ever and anon, to the time when, a
youth or a schix.iy, he roamed the
fields and hill of his own native home.
Tiie mariner, ris ked by the storms of
the M-a, or resting at some foreign port,
wi'.l run through the long lapse of years
back to the hour, when with a brother
or sisU r, he frolicki-d the joyous hour
away. Neither change nor time, neith
er age nor years, neither di-tautv nor
disease, neither guilt inr passion, can
ever ett'a.v or blot from the heart these
memories of the springtime of life.

Too Much Discount on a Blue Chip.
I.cw Ixx kstadt r, the burnt-cork artist
tells a gmxl story of a reformed gambler
v. Inch is worth n-jx-ating. Two gam
bler w iio had lxtn in business for a
long time and grow u rich, tlecidtxl to
dissolve partnership, one lxt-iuse he
t!esir.d to reform and the other for the
r.-a-ou that he thought he could rind
wid -r and lietier fields in the work.
The one who desired to give up his
wicked life lx-canie known to the
Christian jk-ople, and he was installed
in the fold of the church. The old
partner went wc-t with hi par
aphernalia and tloiiris'.ieiL
At the end of the year he came back
to the old town to visit his former part
ner. It was Sunday night wlu-n he
arrived, so he went d"nvct!y to the
c'uirch and t.x.k an aisle scat in the
back part. S.xm the organ lx-gan to
plav some lively m-isic ami two nuei
walked down the aisle U-aring silver
plate. One of them was the reformed
gambler. A tin- pennies and niekle
lx-gan to dr .p into the plate the pros
pcr.xa gambler rummaged in his ptx k
i t for some change, and w iicii his old
partner passed him he dropped il blue
chip into tiie plate. The reformed man
looked tip quickly and recognized hi
partner. The blue chip in the plate
made him nervous. He didn't like to
pick it out for fear some one would
think he was taking money from the
plate, so he -lnxik the silver rts-eptaele
to work it under, but the chip lx-ing
lighter than the coin it always came
to the top. A he reached the rail with
hi back to tilt- .sillgiVgatiolI he quickly
lifted up the chip and dri.p-.x-d a silver
dollar in it stead. It was neatly done,
but the preacher had olxs-rvtsl it, and
as In- walked over to accept alms he
said softly:
"D.a.s'll. a blue chip tttlls for five."
Letter From tiie Linkinaa.
Kroai I.n. Ion Truth.
Are women, dear Lady Hetty, angel
in disguise or angel in disgrace? This
app.-ar to U' a p rp t lal prol.m. It
me then submit a f.-.r observation!
w Iiicli may a-.-i.st to s h e it.
A woman' day should Ix gin ut
night.
Women are always wishing that men
were true; men an' alway wishing
that women were new.
A woman generally make the worst
of a good htisltanil; a man generally
makes the lxt of a lead w ife.
Any Man with a heart i attracted
toward th--e wii i i!f.-r; any woman
who ha a heart i attracted toward
those who pr.t-.jx-r.
If you want to know a woman mar
ry her.
Many women can make every home
hapjiy te.it their own.
Tell a child that lie i g'xxl. a man
tluit he is great, a woman that she is
Ixaiitiful.
Vanity is woman's conscience.
Women are very gixl to eat, but
very bud to digest.
A woman i strongest when she i
weakest ; a man i weakest when he is
strongest.
A woman's !ve i lx-w ildering, till
you get it; then it i cml-arrassiiig.
Where there is a will there is a
woman.
A Thoughtful Boy.
