"You aill come liotn.with us, El
sie of course 1"
EUie Conard, gentle, timid, just
seventeen, who hod come within one
hour from her mother's grave, sie'e bj
sido wilh her father's, made fifteen
years before, did not speak for a mo
ment. For tbe invitation given, as a mat
tei "of course," came from her broth-er-in
lnw, her mother's staunch friend
and adviser for many years, almost a
second father to her own shy self from
childhood. When he spoke as if there,
was no question about his decision, it
was not easy for his timid little sistet
in law to dispute his assertion.
Was he not Maggie's husband, nnd
was not Maggie herself ten years old
er than EUio, and Robert Wayne sev
en years older than his wife, actually
double Elsie's own age? Had not these
two controlled Elsie from her baby
hood fur more than the gentle mother
lying in her newly-made grave ? Could
she assert her independence to thetn
wutching her with grave eyes, full of
wonder at her hesitation ?
Thcu between her own soft blue
eyes and the faces of Robert and Mag
gie, Elsie saw a pale, dying face, sad,
imploring eyes, piteous, quivering lips,
and again she seemed to hear the faint,
pleading voice say :
"Oh, Elsie, care for poor Tom when
I am gone 1"
Poor Tom, pitiful only in his moth
er's eyes, a reprobate to all others,
weak more than wicked, drinking to
excees, industrious only in (its and
darts, the black sheep of the family.
"Robert," Elsie said, the tears start-
uig at, me sonoti nt tier own voice,
"you are very kind to wish it, but 1
will 8l8y here."-
"Stay here 1 Nonsense ?" cried Mag
gie. "How can yon stay here?"
"Mother left me the'iousc, and next,
year I shall have the five thousand
dollars father left me."
"Well ?"
Chill aud hard the monosyllable fell
from Robert Wayue's lips.
"And," said Elsie, desperately, "if
I leave here who will care for Tom ?
y I .i . i rn
inen ine siorm uroKe. lorn was a
disgrace to them all. Tom was twenty-four,
and able to take caro of him
self. rai had sneaked away from
the cemetery, and was probably drunk
somewhere. lorn, indeed I
But anger nerved Elsie. Had Rob
ert an J Maggie tried coaxing, or even
argument, he would have touud it
hard work to resist them, but she felt
she did not deserve reproach, und so
bruced her heart to resolution, and
stood firm.
It ended in Robert and Maggie
leaving the house in anger, leaving
bitter, stinging words, aud in Elsie s
lying upon the sofa sobbing her very
heart away, for more than two hours.
"And Tom will stay on and on,
spending Elsie's small fortune as ha
spent your mother's," Robert said,
fiercely, "disgracing us all."
"I'm sure I can't help it," Maggie
sobbed. "I did hope he would go away
when the house was closed till Elsie
married or came of age."
And Elsie, sobbing faintly, exhaust
ed, was lifted in two strong arms, and
a voice that had comforted her many
a time and oft, said :
"Dearie, don't cry any more. She's
out o' trouble, and, God be praised,
we cau think of her a saint in Heav
en instead of a sufferer on earth."
Elsie nestled close in the old ser
vant's lyms.
"Jane," she whispered, "it was not
for mamma I wus crying, but for
Tom."
"And indeed somebody may well
cry for him, for I'm thinking he'll go
down bill faster than ever now he 11
have neither mother uor home."
"But, Jane, he will have his home."
"Eh, dearie !"
"And his sister, if he cau't have his
mother. I'm going to stay here to
take care of Tom."
"Heaven save us ! What will Mr.
Robert say ?"
"He has said I am a fool, a conceit
ed idiot," Elsie answered, her eyes
flashing now through her tears, "but
I'm going to stay. Tom is fond of
me.
Tom wai fond of her. All that
miserable afternoon, ashamed, wretch
ed, far more grief-strieken than any
would have credited, Tom was wau
dering in a grove skirting one end of
Heron's Hill, the villago where his
name was n standing reproach. He
knew nobody would believe in his sor
row, and his remorse cut deep as he
realized how much his .own wayward
career hail helped to break down his
mother's health.
Never deliberately wicked, honc?t
aud truthful, he, was too fond of good
company, too indolent, too easily in
fluenced by the temptation of the mo
ment, to resist a love of drink and its
train of evils. But he did not drink

t3 drown this misery of self-reproach
and loneliness. To drink, ho must
face acquaintances, go through the vil
lage streets to the "ale saloon." where
ale was certainly not tho strongest
drink handed over tho bar.
And Tom craved solitude. Lying
on his face in the rank Bummer grass,
he pictured his life to come, .sinking
lower and lower. He had not paid
too great heed lo his mother's praters
and petitions, yet he realized that
mother-love and homo influence had
saved him from the deeper degrada
tion to come. And Elsie 1 The one
tender spot in Tom s heart held Elsie
in a sacred ehrine. Her blonde beau
ty was simply augelic to Tom, and her
soft hand and tender voice had led
him from evil more than once. Well,
mother was dead ! Elsie would go tn
Maggie, "of course ;" home wus closed.
He would go take one look at the
darkened room where his lips had last
pressed his mothers, and then
Tom shuddered 1
Then loneliness temptation, des
pair! What mattered-it to any w hat
became of him now ?
So he went home, slowly, with sul
len brow ami bowed head. He did
not look about him, as he entered the
entry of the cottage, where doors, front
and back, admitted the evening air.
He did rot notice the home-look re
stored, where there had been the con
fusion of long iliness, the desolation of
death. He went into the sitting room,
where tne windows were once more
open, and there a little figure stood
waiting. Not cloaked and bonneted
for farewell, but with n white apron
over the black dres?, white collar and
cuffs, a bow of black ribbon in the
fair waving hair a bonis figure.
"I am so g'ud you have come,
Tom," was his welcome ; 'te& is all
ready."
"Tea ! Elsie 1 I I thought you had
gone to Maggie's, hours ago."
"I am not going to Msggie's."
"Not f oing to Mapsrie's ! Why,
where are you going? Who will take
care of you ?"'
The little figure came very close to
Tom's side, tho fair head rested on his
breast, the sweet, sad face was lifted
to his, and EUie said :
"Will you take care of me, Tow ?"
A great rush of new-born true man
liness choked Tom's voice. A sudden
sense of man's protecting power filled
his very soul as he looked down at the
tender,, confiding face. He did not
speak until his arms closed about El
aie tightly, his lips pressed hers quiv
eringly. Then ho said :
"God help me, Elsie, to take care of
you, if you will trust yourself to me !"
It was a piayer with a promise, and
Jane, wiping her eyes as she softly re
turned to the kitchen, after hearing
all, unseen, murmured :
"It'll be tho saving of him."
The tea table was temptingly spread,
and Tom was hungry aud weary.
There was no temptation after tea was
over to leave the wide irm chair, where,
with Elsie beside him, he talked of
their dead, very solemnly aud lovingly-
But the next day the first trial came.
Nobody was exactly willing to take
Tom Conard into employment. He
was a good workman at his trade, a
cabinet-maker's, but a ne'er do-well,
not lo be trusted as steady, apt to dis
appoint customers. All day he tried
in vain to get work, returning home
dull aud disheartened.
But EUie was not discouraged.
There were a few hundred dollars in
the bank, willad to Tom by his moth
er, despite Robert's remonstrance, and
when that was goue, her own small
fortune could be commanded. She
cheered him up by every kind, loving
word her tender heart suggested, and
then a great plan was proposed.
Elsie fairly trembled as she made if,
but she had given it hours of thought
and prayer, ana ventured:
"Suppose you take that money, Tom,
and open a furniture store of your
own. There is none at Heron's Hill,
and we have to go to N for even a
chair."
A store of his own ! Ambitin"B was
a key-uote never before touched in
Tom's heart. A store of his own I
What would Heron's Hill say to that?
Aud if be had such a weight of respon
sibility as the care of Elsie and a store
of his own, he would not have any
temptation to idleness, or worse.
Elsie, watching his face, said pres
ently: "There's that little store of Hunter'
Tom. Nobody has been tlveie for
several months, since he died, and itia
right is the middle of Main street.
And they couldn't refuse you a trial,
it you pay one quarter's rent in ad
vance ; aud it will give you quite a
holiday to po to N for goods."
Could he? Dared he?
Tom felt his figure staighten, his
heart expand. Nobody hud for years
seemed to consider him fit for any re
sponsible position. His mother's ten

"stop making a beast of himself;"
Maggie wondered how he could so for
get hi family, but little Elsie trusted
htm, asked him to take care of her,
proposed to hira to open a store.
"I'll do it, Elsie 1"
"And, alter all," the tender heart
argued, as Elsie rose from prayer be
lore retiring, "they all said ho would
only waste the money in drink, and he
cannot do worse than lose it in a
store."
But he did not lose it I Heron's
Hill was in a creat flutter when Hun
ter's store was
opened, a great sign
put over t'.e door, beamier the in
scription, "Thomas Conard, Furniture
Dealer ;" great vans came lumbering
over irora n , tull of the new
goods, and repairing was promised
upon a grand scale.
Curiosity was the first attraction for
customers, and trifles of wash-stands,
chairs, kitchen tables, and 6uch inex
pensive articles were found to be need
ed in every household. Elsie, perched
at a high desk at the back of the store,
was the cashier. Tom, important and
busy, was Balesrnau, and the two were
as nerry as babies over a new doll's
house.
It waa wonderful to see how the nsw
responsPbilitv did steady "wild Tom
Conard." "
The ale house knew him no longer;
the sneers and jokes of his old boon
companions had no effect upon him.
Elsie's trust in him, and the fact that
he was her protector, kept him in the
stra:ght path where all elsp had failed.
The new store had prospered, and
the cashier's place was filled by a
clerk Tom was quite able to pay, and
Elsie returned Ij her duty as house
keeper for Tom ; adviser for Tom ;
friend, counselor, comforter, all for
Tom.
It took timo years to convince
Robert and Maggie, und Elsie's friends
in general, that she had not made
mistake; but they were convinced at
last.
Elsie was twenty-one, prettj as ever
gentle ana loving, faithful to Tom
when one eveniog over the cosy tea
iajie a raomenious conversation oc
curred.
"Elsie," Tom said, "I met Mr. Mur
ray this afternoon, very down-hearted.
Air. Murray was the new minister at
Heron s Hill. Elsie grew rosy in i
moment, stirred her tea and said nev
cr a word.
"Jiilsie are you treating hira quite

"Yes," very faintly.
"An upright, splendid fellow ; what

"And loves you !"

asking

"Yes, dear IUen. Will you let

my heart has room for you both, but
my wife's plaoo in my new home!".
So it was settled, aud when the fair,
sweet wife lorn won would speak lov
ing words of him and her own happi
ness, Tom would say :
"I owe it all to Elsie. My sister's

A Baby With a Horse's Face.
A male child, four month's old, was
taken by its mother, Mrs. Margaret
O'Hara, to the Eastern District Hos
pital of Brooklyn, yesterday, to be on-
erated upon for malformation of the
race, which gave it somewhat the ap
pearance of a horse.' An elongation
of the nasal bones, which swelled out
toward tho chin and met tho lower
lip, which was thus depressed, gave
the appearance of two lare nostrils.
The resemblance was increased by the
stentorous breathing of the child. Dr.
Samuel J. Brady told the mother be-
fore performing the operation that it
was delicate aud dangerous: but tho
mother, still fondling the infant, hed
ged that the child might be given the
semblance of a human face if possible.
uts. Landius, Hesse, liaker. Freb e.
Griffin, Mortotigh, and other surgeons
were present. Dr. Brady had the iu-
fant put unier the influence of chlo
roform, and in about half an hour
handed the child back to its mother
with a mouth, nose and nostrils an
ugly-looking child, but still with a
child's face. The flesh was cut from
the protuberance and tho bono was
broken off to the length of an ordina
ry nose. The cuticle and flesh so cut
away were formed into the base of the
nose, holes being made for nostrils.
The large, cavernous opening then
seen was bridged across to make an
upper lip by joining the two oheeks.
Mrs. O'Hara said the cause of the de
formity was an antenatal shock, re
ceived through a neighbor who was
driving a borso. Her husband is a
laboring man, and they have four oth-
er children, from Jwo to nine years of
age. The deformed child is a hearty,
healthy infant, and, it is thought, will
survive the operation. JV'. Y. 'Tribune.
