hours were growing bis that the girl could

was late.
Neither grandmother nor granddaughter

jiothing to do that day, for Edith had
made up her mind to do nothing about a

"I have tnk -n the liberty of coming up

Her
wors and smile and manner were so
friendly and unassuming that grandmoth

the most unpleasant thoughts about l.)ora.
What ought he to do in the matter? Had
he not neted badly to her in not writing
the next morning after the scene in thf
drawing-room? the very ni?ht?
He was wrestlir? and groaning in spir
it when the servant brought a letter to
iiis door. lie rei-ognized her writing :i
ouce, and tore the envelope open hastily.
He read the letter slowly and with de
caying spirit. When he had finished he
folded it up deliberately and put it back
into the envelope. Kis face was pale,
his lips were apart, his eyes dull, expres
sionless. "Be it so." he said at length. "She Is
'rigVt," he added bitterly. "She is always
right. She would always be right, and I
when I differed from her always wrong.
That is not the position a husband should
occupy in a wife's esteem."
He went out with no definite object ex
cept to be free of interruption. His mind
ran on Iora. Now he thought of her
with anger, now with affection, now with
sorrow, lie had no fhousrht of trying to
undo h"r reodve. He acquiesced in it.

lie passed In review the pleasant hours
they bad spent together. He took a
melancholy delignt in conjuring up the
things they had said, the places they had
gone to, the balls, and theaters, anr. gal
leries and meetings they had been t i with
sue another. He thought of the list walk
they took, the walk which led to the pres
ent breach between them. It was in this
neighborhood somewhere. Ah, he remem
bered. He would go and see the place

tireman with a hose was pi;iy i:i on the

"An unlucky place," thought Hannury.
and at that momeut tlu re was a cry of
iismay from the crowd. ii::iibury lirc.v

Williams appeared, and between Will
iams and Ilan'oury the dwarf was led into
the private bar iu which h.s learning and
ccult knowledge had brought hiui dis
tinction and respect.
A chair was fetched and I.elh was
et 'ipon it wilh his baek to the window,
so fnat his eyes might not look upon the
grave of his labor.
"All gone! All pine! Nothing left!
Nothing left! The work of seven yei.rs.
day and nhjht! 1 : y and night! l;iy
and niKht! (ione, all gone!"
"Hut, Mr. Leigh," said the pr.'.e f i.-ed
Williams, iu a low and very kindly voice,
"it might have been ever so much worse."
"Worse! How eouid it be worse? T.ier:
In nothing saved."
"Why, thank heaven, Mr. Leigh, you
are saved. It was said in some of the pa
pers and we believed it that you were
burned in the tire."
"Ami what if I was?"
"Well, your friends are very glad, any
way. Didn't you hear how the peopi-1

you were a ghost, and didn't you hear
how they cheered when they saw it was

"I .shall be very glad to have your com

moved at the loss and grief of the little
clocktnaker.
And leaning on the arm of John Han

CHAPTER XXTV.
When the two men gained the open air
no cab was in sight.
"If you will rest awhile here," said Ilan
bnrv. "I'll fetch a cab. I cannot see one
p or down the street"
"No." said Leigh, a s
hudder passing
through his frame. "Let us walk, if you
do not mind. I could not bear to stay
near this place any longer. Is it not
strange that you should have wanted a
: cab in this spot torty-eight hours ago,
! and I should want it here now?"
j "It is strange," said Ilanbury, "but the
j world is very small, nnd our absolute
j wants in it are very closely circumscrib
ed." The manner of Leigh had changed
; in a marked manner. His steps had be
j come slow and more dragged, his breath
i ing more labored, and he had lost all
1 swagger and bounce, and self-assertive-!
ncss.
"Sir," said Leigh, "this slow pace beCts
a funeral. This is my funeral."
"Oh, you. mustn't say so. I am sure
your clock must have been a terrible loss,
but not irreparable."
j "I shall begin no other clock. Thf
sands in my own hour-glass are running
low ulrendv. When a man of tnr ni:ik
endures a great shock and a great disap
poiutment he does not eudure much more.

tiemy, and l am nt only to tie your triend.
You will not spurn nie?" He paused in
their walk and looked up anxiously into
li anbury's face.
"Assuredly cot. I will do anything I
can for you."
"You wi'.I be astonished to hear that 1
was tf.tlrrcttd towardu you from the mo
nient 1 saw yon the attraction of re
pulsion, no doubt. 1 have had so long
a l'fe of loneliness and repression, I warn
a few hours of companionship and frie
sieaking before I die."
"Anything you may tell me to reliev
rour mind, I shall treat as a secret of mv
own."
"1 know. 1 wish I were as sure of any
thing else as I am of you. 1 lied to you
very considerably. I lied because I hnt
imagination; because I Sad vanity; be
cause people are such id.ots."
"What I said about Miracle Gold tas
mostly a lie also."
"I knew that."
"All right. Most of What I told yon
about Miracle Gold was a lie. All I told
you about making it was a life . I was
about to enter into a league with thieves
to take stolen gold, and pretend to make
it. I was going to do this for the sake
of the fame, not the profit.
"A very dangerous kind of alchemy,
"Anywjy I have told you what my
scheme was. I told Mrs. Ashton that
my clock was independent of my hands
for winding up. You heard Williams,
the publican, say they saw me wind up
my clock lasl night Well, I was not near
tny clock last night."
"I'.ut he said he saw you."
"He did. N.ov you can understand how
necessary it was for me to lie."
"I candidly confess I cannot."
"Well, when I conceived the notion of
making Miracle Gold I knew I ran a
great risk. I thought it might become nec
esfcan tc erove alrinaUvea at all ejeuts.
The proposition or an alibi is an affirma
tive, tbe deduction a negative. I told you
my clock was my friend. Well, I made
! help me in this. I gave out in the pub
lic house that my clock had now become
so complicated that I bad arranged to
connect all the movements. The clock
was to be wound up by a lever fixed near
the window, at which I sat when at work,
the only window in the room. NiglK after
night 1 worked at this lever for half an
hour, turning round exactly nt a quarter
past twelve to nod nt the people. Mean
while, I was busy constructing a life-sized
figure the body of a man every way as
like me as possible. I have skill, a good
deal of skill, in modeling. It was made to
be moved by tbe lever, not to move it. I
easily timed the head so as to turn at a
quarter-past. I inserted iu the neek of
the figure like myself a movement which
would make the head nod before turning
away to go on with the winding. You
now see my idea?"
"Not quite clearly. But I suspect it."
"Suppose I had to meet one of my cli
ents about the gold, 1 should make an
appointment with him at a quarter past
twelve elsewhere. My clock, at twelve
o'clock, slowly raised the figure from the
rloor to the place in which I sat in my
chair, turned up the gas, which had been
dimmed to the last glimmer that would
live, and then released the weight in the
chimney and set the figure moving as if
working the lever, instead o.? the lever
working it. Thus you see 1 should have
a dozen to swear they saw me in my room,
if nnything went wrong iu my interviews
with my clients, or if from any other cause
it became necessary for me to prove 1
was in my workshop between twelve and
half-past twelve at night."
"Very ingenious indeed."
"There is not much more to tell. Ow
ing to a reason I need not mention, I
made up my mind ou Thursday morning
to go on with the production of Miracle
1ioi-l. 1 resolved against my better judg
ment, mil) gave tlie word for the first lot
of the cold to be delivered at my place at
midnight exactly. You know how my
afternoon was spent. AYhile at Mrs.
Ashtou's my better judgment and my
worse one had a scutlie, and I made up
my mind to decide upon nothing that
night, and certainly to commit myself to
nothing tiiat night. What you would call
the higher influence was at work." .
"1 'alias-Athena V"
"Yes, if you think that a good name.
Any way, I made up my mind to do noth
ing definite in the interest of Miracle Gold
that night. 1 set my dummy figure that
figure was burned up; not 1. 1 am goiug
fast. I there no cab? I can hardly
breathe. Have you seen Miss Ashton
since?"
"1 have."
"Since yesterday af.ernoon?"
"No."
They were standing at a doorstep.
Leigh had leaned his side against the
urea railings for support. His breathing
was terrible, and every now and then
he gasped, and clutched his hands to
gether. "if yon come to see me to-morrow, per
haps you may not come alone?"
1 l&tibury Unshed. He did not want to
make his confession just now.
"Perhaps I may not," he said. "Good
by now."

winter; in summer their place on the
table should be supplied with some of
the varieties of cream or fruit
Water, with sufficient sugar to make
it sweet, .is a common beverage in
France, and there considered very
wholesome and refreshing. Ladies
generally take it before bed time for
their complexion.
For the healthy m-ijority the old
custom of early rest and early w tking
is certain to prove in future, as returns
of longevity nd common experience
alike show that it has proved in the
past, moat conducive to healthy and
active life.
Rooms devoted to sleeping purposes
should above all things be light, cheer
ful and thoroughly ventilated. No
room should be slept in in winter that
has not had a fire in it at least three
times a week, and it is all tbe more
wholesome if it havjne every day.

Sunject: "A Practical Religion.
Tbxt: ''Faith without works is dead."
James if., 2D.
The Ro nan Catholic! Church baa beei
charged with putting too much stress upon
vood works and not enouirb upon faith. 1
charge Protestantism witn putting not
enough stress upon good works is connected
with salvation. Good works will never sav
a man, but if a man have not xood works h
has no real faith and no genuine religion
There are I hose who depend upon the faoi
that they are all right inside while toeir con
duct is wrong outside. Their religion foi
the most part is made up of talk vigorouf
talk, tlueci t ta'k, boastful talk, perpetual
talk. Ti ey will entertain you by the houi
in telling you how good they are. Thej
come up to such a higher life that they hav
no patience, with or.tlnarv Christians inth
plain discharge of their duty. As near as
can tell, this ocean craft is mostly sail and
vary little tunniv-ra. Foretopmast staysail,
tor-top nitst stuibling sail, main topsail, mil
zn topsail everything from fllng jib tc
m zz-Mi spanker, but making no useful voy
age. N jw, the world has got tired of this
an I it wants a re.igion that will work intc
all the cirou instances of lite. We do not wan!
a uht religion, but the old religion applied
in ail possible directions.
luD ler is a river with steep and rocky
hanks, and it roars like a young Niagara as
it roll on nvnr its rough oh1. It does noth
i s but talk about itself all the way from Us
source in the mountain to tbe place wnere it
euipties into the sea. The banks are so steep
that thu cattle cannot come down to drink.
It does not run ont fertilizing rill iuto the
adjoining Del '. It has not one gristmill or
fa. t TV on either side. It sulks in wet
weaiber with chilling fogs. No on cares
wueu that river is born anion? the rocks.nnd
no one cares when it dies Iuto the sea. But
yonder is nnother river, and It mouses its
oanlfs with the warm tides, aud it rocks witb
llor.il lullaby the water lilies asleep on Hi
bosom. It invito herds of cattle and flock?
of shep and coveys of birds to come thers
nil I drink. It has three gristmills on one
side and six cotton factor! js on the other. It
is th wealth of 200 miles of luxuriant farms.
The. hir.is of heaven chanted when it was
born in the mountains, and the ocean ship
piug will press in from the sea to hail it as it
comes down from th Atlantic Coo.it. The
ne river is a man who lives for himself.
Ths other river is a man who lives foi
Oihers.
Do you know how the site of the ancien.
city of Jerusalem was chosen? There were
two brothers who had adjoining farms. Tbe
one biot her had a large family, the otbei
ha I no family. Tim brother with a large
family said: 'There Is my brother with no
family. He must be lonely, and I will try
to cheer him up. and I will take some of the
sheaves from my field in the night time and
set them over on his farm and say nothing
about it." The other brother said: "My
brother has a large family ana it is very
difficult for him to support thnm, and I will
help him aong, and I will take some ol
the s'leaves from my farm in the night time
nn 1 set tbom over on his farm and say noth
ing about it.1' So the work of transference
went on night after ni.-ht and night after
night, but every morning things seemed to
be just as they were, for, though sheaves
ha 1 b ren subtracted from each farm,
sheaves had also bfmn added, and the broth
ers wer perplexed and could not under
stand. But one night the brothers hap
pened to meet while making this generous
transference, and the spot where they met
wan so sacra 1 that it was chosen as the site
nfthoetiv f,f Jerusa era. It that tradition
;c.cali. prry j-iir.fui'uded, 3 will nve-he-
es st.iu.i r. s a-OTjmiui allegory, anting
forth tnn ij -a that wbetaver kindly and
generous ..nil loving acr Is performed that la
tbe spot lit for some temple of oommeav
oratiou. 1 have offin spoken to yon about faith,
but this moi 1 speak to you about works,
or "faith without works is dead." I think
you will agree with me in the statement that
the great want In this world is morn praotl
eal religion. We want practical religion to
go into all merchandise. It will supervise
the labeling of goods. It will not allow a
man to Kay that a thing was made in one
fact or v when it was made in another. It
will not ailowthe merchant to say that watch
was manufactured in Geneva when it was
ito du fact u red in Massachusetts. It will not
ndow the merchant to say that wine eame
from Madeira when it came from Ca'lfornia.
Practical religion will walk along by the
store shelves and tear off all the tags that
make misrepresentation. It will not allow
the merchant lo say that is pure eoffee when
dandelion root and chieory and other ingred
ients go into it It will not allow hiru to say
that is pure sugar when there are in it sand
anil ground glass.
When practical religion gets its full swing
In the w rid, it wid go down the street and
it will come to that shoe store and rip off the
fictitious soles of uiay a One looking pair of
slioss and show that it is pasteboard sand
wiche 1 between tbe sound leather. Aod this
practical religion will go right Into a gro
cery store and it will pull out tbe plugs of all
the adulterated sirups, and it will dump into
the ash barrel in front of the store tho cassia
bark lhat is sold forcinnamon atidthe brick
dust that is sold for cayenne pepper, and it
will shako out tb Prussian blue from the tea
leaves, an I It will sift irora tbe flour plasier
of parts and bone dust and soapstone. and it
will by ehemical aualysis separate the one
quart of water from the few honat drops of
cow's milk, and It will throw out tne live
animalcules from the brown sugar.
There tas been'so mucu a tulteration of
articles of food that it is an amazement to
me that th'-r" is a healthy man or woman lc
America. H"aven only knows wuat they
put into the spices nnd iuto the sugars and
uto the butter and into tbe apothoearv drug.
But chemical analysis and the microscope
have made won lerful revelations. Theboard
of health in Massachusetts analyzed a great
amount of what was called pure coffee and
loun l it notoue particle of ooffee. Iu Eng-
and there is a law that forbids the putting
of alum in bread. Tbe publio authorities
examined lifty-oce packages of bread and
found them all guilty. The honest physi
oian, writing a prescription, does not know
bm that it may bring death instead of health
to hi- patient, because there may be one of
i lie drugs weakened by a che .per art cle,
and another drug may be in full force, and
so the prescription may have just the oppo
site effect intended. Oil of wormwood war
ranted pure from Boston was found to have
iony-oue per cent, of rosin and alcohol and
chloroform. Scammony is one of the most
valuable medical drugs. It is very rare,
ery precious. It is tbe sap of the gum of a
ree or a bush in Syria. Ihe root of tbe tree
is exposed, an incision is made into the root,
aod then shells are placed at this incision to
catch the sap or tn gum as it exudes. It is
very precious, this scammony. But the
peasant mixes it with a cheaper material;
. hen it is t:iken to Aleppo, and the merchant
i here mixes it with a cheaper material; thon
it comes on to the wholesale druggist iu Lon
don or New York, and be mixes it with a
cheaper material: then it comes to the retail
druggist, and he mixes it with a cbeapet
material, and by tne time the poor sick man
gels it Into kis bottle it la ashes and chalk
and sand, and some of what has been called
pure scaim.iony after analysis has been
lound to be l o scammony at all.
Now, practi -al religion will yet rectify all
this. It will co to those hypocritical pro
fessors or religion who got a "corner in
corn and wheat in Chicago and New York,
sending pi ices up and up until they were
beyond the reach ot the poor, keeping these
breanstuns in tneir own nanus, or control
ling them until tne prices going np and up
ami up, tnev were, alter awnile, reaav to
sell, and they fold out, making themselves
millionaires in one or two years, trying to
fix the matter up wilh the Lord by building
a church or a university or a bospttal. lelud-
iD't themselves with theldei that the Lord
would be so pleased with tbs gift He would
forget thi niriudie. Now, as such a man
may not have auy liturgy in which to say
bis prayers, I will compose for him one
wh'ch he practically is making "Oh, Lord,
we, ny getting a 'corner in Drea stuns,
swindled the people of tbe United States oul
of 4 10,0:. 0.000 and made suffering all up and
down tbe laud, and we won d like to com
promise this matter With Theel Thou know
est it was a scaly job, but then It was smart.
aiiv, here we compromise it. Take one pel
cent, or the profits, an t with that one pel
cent, you can build an asylum for these pool
m serab'.e rag muffins of the street, and 1
will take a yacht and go to Europe, forevei
and ever. Amen."
A'i, my fr en .s, if a mm hath gotten bli
' state wrong u'ly and he build a Hue ol
hospita's aud universities Jrom here to
Alaska, lie cannot atone for it. After awhile
ih-s r.an who has been getting a "corner"1 in
wheat dies, and then satan gets a 'corner"
in him. He goes into a great, long Back
Frl 'ay. There is a "break" in the market.
According to Wall street parlance, he wiped

But this practical--religion will not only

Tnis practical religion will also come to
the newspaper men, and it w II help then Id
he gr.'henng of the nes, and it will help
them in setting forth the oest interests of so
cio y, and it will keep them from putting

Yes, this religion, this practical religion,
will come aud put its. hand on what is oilled
good society, elevated society, successful so
ciety, so that people will have their expendi
tures wdh'.u their income, and they w II ex
change the nypooritical "not at home" far

Yea. there is great opportunity for mis
sionary work iu what are called tne puc
esiul classes of society. In some of the
cities is Is no rare thing now to see afasblon-
!! woman intoxicated in the street, or the
rail ear, or the restaurant. The number of
Huh .adies who dhn " too much is increas-
nr. Perhaps you may find her at the recep-
tu n in moscexaliel company, but she has
made too many visits to the winroom, and
now her eye is glassy, an 1 aftor awhile her

nothing, aud then she offers sickening

We want this practical religion not only to
I ike hold of wuat are called the lawerc nsse9,
l-nl to take h- - i- - M-op
classes. Tbe trouble is that people have an
i lea they can do al! their re icion on Sun
day with hymn-"ook and prayer book nnd
liturgy, and some of them sit in church roll
lug uu their eyes as though they were rea ly
for translation, when their Sabbath is
bounded ou all sides by an inconsistent life,
:ind while you are expecting to come out
from unler their arms the wings of an ange1
there come out from their forehead the born!
of a beast.
There has got to be a new departure in re
ligion. I do not say a new religion. Oh,
do, but tbe oi l religion brought to new ap
pliances. In our time we have bad the
daguerreotype aud the ambrotvpe and tlie
photograph, but It is tho same old sun, and
these aits are only new appliances of the old
sunlight. So this glorious gospel is just
what we want to photograph the image ot
God on one soul and daguerreotype it on an
other scut. Not a new gospel, but tne old
gospel put o new work. In our time we
1 ave bad thi telegraphic Invention, and the
telephonic in-en i n, and the electric light
inveui ion, but they are all children of old
iwtric'ty, an element that the philosopher
:oive a Ion wiil:e known much ab-iut. So
. his e eclriu gospel neeos to fl ish its light on
1 he ey.s an I enrs and sou's of men and to
'eco-ne a telephonic medium to make the

Hemispheres. Not a new go3p )t, bnt the old
gosoel doing a new work.

lieving that they do not. If she even
does not want to be gracious and at
tentive to her fellow-kind, because of
any moral beauty she may see In It, let

does not "pay" In the short run. Other
girls, just as popular, are self-absorbed,
cold, egotistical. Indifferent to others
to tbe point of brutlshness, she may

for the long run. There the thoughtful
disposition tells Invariably. It Is not
guah that makes the genuinely papular
woman. It Is not beauty, nor money,
nor brains alone, nor even a good heart
ind a sunny, good-tempered disposition;
not as measured by tbe long span.
