Agues' atory was soon told. Her

for her little ones.

A little more questioning and Lilian
laaimed that some one owed Mrs. Ore-gory
for sewing, also that she hoped to
have dinner ready when Agnes came
borne.
Lilian looked out Into the driving
storm of a January forenoon. 8 be
know Mra. Gregory, and her heart
aaked for the pale young mother.
ML Snell was Quick of thought and
aotlou. Ten minutoo later Agnea was
la a warm cloak room feasting In the
dainty luach Mrs. Snell had prepared
for her daughter's midday meal. The
young teacher bad written a note and
a list of articles of food and was at tbt
door of the room across the hall.
. The ttaclver, Florence fox. listened
sympathetically to Lilian's story and
to the suggestion that ber own 12-year-
old brother be called from tbe ulxtfc
grade to deltver the note.
"Of course, Kred can go," she cried,
"and, Lilian, you say you have writ
ten to Mr. Ihivla tbe circumstances and
aakod him for good weight. I'll send
an order to Cousin Hugh for a half
cord of wood, tell htm tbe story, auf?
a&k him for good weight."
A faint crimson flush stained Illlan's
cheek, but she warmly tbaxked he)
friend and hurried back to her work.
Mark lavls woa a stout, genial-faced
man of 3. lie sat in his ohlce, bia
niorutug's work at bis book just fin
lshed. Through the open door be
could see brlk clerks stepping about In
the grocery store from which the office
opened. Titer was an odor of spices
coffee, fruit and Dsb In the air.
"Eight hundred dollars more profit
this year than last," the grocer said to
bliusclf. "Sn'iirfimv it don't do :i t" r. u
any good to pile up money when he has
no one to spend !t on."
Here his reverie was cnt ahort by
tbe eutn'i-e .if a clerk who banded
hint ib envelope, saying: "A boy Just
brought this."
Two j,aj.oi-s dropped from the en
velope as he tore It open. The first was
a lUt, Lurlud.n; a losf of bread, pota
toes, crackers, dried beef, and a few
other articles. He glanced over It and
opened die other. It was Lilian's note:
"Dear Mr. Iavls: A little girl lu my

Mr. Pavls hud been a friend of the
Paetl family for years, and It was not
tbe tlrst time that Lilian hud appealed
to him for help Li her charitable work.
Be tbtt wm not the reason that so
strange a look came Into bis bones

The wood soon came. Florence's half

cord, perutiis because she bad written
bur cousin that the needy widow was s
wi'olege of Miss Scull's.
As to Lilian's order for groceries.
Mr. Davis had added to It a sock of
Cour. a haul, coffee, tea, sugar, apples,
cookies, cheese, vanned fruits and
incuts, ur.il a big b; of candy.
Mia. Donovan vveut back to her own

Mark ha!lly built a fire, then sat down
to think how best tu explain the Uburry

Tiis bate room faded from his rUlon

A year later Marsaret became the wife,

It vcas too late then. There was
uutle.ux to do but to endure.
lie had known for some time that
Margaret wits a widow and lived in tlie
city. lie knew nothing of her poverty,
supposing that her means were ample.
To go to lu;r now with a story of love
had never occurred to him. She knew
nothing of what had parted them. He
could not tlackea the memory of the

pausing fur a final word with Mrs
Doaavan.
"Tell Mrs. Gregory the things cam
from the teacliers at No. 3."
"To be sure, Mr. Pa via," responded
the woman, who had recognised Mark,
"I'll tell her all 'bout it. And many
the blissui's of all the saints rest or
your dear bead!"
Mark hurried away, leaving a shin
ing sliver dollar In Itoyce's band.
It was only a few minutes after hit
departuru that a thinly clad woman
came tolling wearily up tbe stairs. It
was Margaret Gregory. Tbe woman
who owed ber was out of town. Tbe
aeedy mother bad applied at several
places for work, only to meet with re
fusal. Then she bad gone to a stor
nd begged for credit, but In rain.
She bad reached the end. Tliere was,
but one way open. She would ask M raj
Donavan to give her children their din
ner. When she had rested and con
quered the bitter rebellion In be? heart
she would go out again and apply to
the city for charity
- Margaret Gregory waa proud. Bb
was already faint for the want of food,
yet she turned In loathing from tht
thought of a meal obtained In that way,
It would be worse than death, but
death does not come at one's call, and
there were her babies.
A dry sob burst from ber lips. Bha
passed Mrs. Dona van's door in silence.
Bhe must have a moment to herself
before she could ask charity of one so
poor aa ber kind neighbor. Hurrying
on. she pushed open ber own door.
A bright fire was biasing in the crack
ed stove. Mrs. Donavan bad prepared
potatoes for tbe oven and cut allces
rendy for frying from the ham. Tha
open door of the wood closet Ehowed a
hags pile, while the table was beaperf
high with food.
For a moment she stood gaxing wild
ly around her. Then she dropped on
her knees, and with a shower of tear
relieved her overwrought nerves.
The next day's mall brought a lettea
from Margaret to Mr. Davis. The
writer had gone to Miss SueJl to thank
her. From tne young teacher she had
learned of Mark's connection with the
affair.
It was an earnest, grateful letter,
uiotted bvi'e and there with tear stains.
She accepted bis generosity; for her
children's sake she could not refuse
charity, fhe referred to the friendship
that had existed between their parents,
but J'.aik was gind that she was too
womanly a woman to even hint at Uia
relation they had once borne to each
other. When he linlshed reading the
letter his heart was light, for be un
derstood that Margaret knew of tbe
treachery that had blotted the sunshine
out of his life.
Mark went straight home and told
his aunt, who was also bis housekeep
er, all about It. Mrs. Evert was knit
ting before the open coal nr. Bhe was
s bright-faced old lady with Soft whit
hair and a serene face. When ba had
finished she laid dowa her work aad
at for a long time, gulag Into the
dauclng flames.
"Tbe only daughter of my old friend,
Rebecca Henson, in want of food," she
said, a note of pain In her vole. "Mark,
you and I both have plenty at money.
There is room In this hotrae, and in our
hearts, for Margaret and ber bablea. Bot

-Thank yoa, Annt Elsie. I see you un

that the years bad changed ber. Tbt

iht from her blue eyes, yet It wn

whoto affair and Insisted on talking of
their ohUdnood days. The fruit and
not he brought proved aa open aes

and they were soon on the best of

Mara wag very grateful for th
offer x work. She hesitated a llttie
over accepting Mra. E verts' kind Invi
tation, fearing lest the children provs
aa aoaoawoc. But when Mark drew
a tooehlng platan of th loneliness of
his aunt ah gladly consented to come.

"Indeed, I do," Lilian replied warm

and help with the decorations. The
whole bouse la to be In green and white,
Dillax. ferns, roses and carnatlous.
Mrs. Everts says Mr. DavJa cannot do

"And I believe It all came about from

Is obeying your request In an extrava
gant manner. Aad Lilian, is not that
pretty pearl ring and the beatific ex

The bell rang then, and the blushing
Lilian was spared the necessity of a

Why tbe Train M topped.
He was a man of some social Im
portance In bis town and well aware
of the fact. One morning ke and his
family were driven up to tbe railway
station in great baste la two conches,
while an express wagoa unloaded sev
eral trunks. Having parehased tick
et i for the party, the gentleman bus
tled out upon the platform, and. ap
proaching the station agent with the
haughtlueEg of a railroad magnate,
Laid:
"I suppose you have received orders
from the superintendent of the road
to flag the S:.'iO train fur me?"
The station agent looked at him
meekly and replied:
"No, sir; I have not received any or
ders whatever."
"Why, that's strange. The superin
tendent told me positively that tha
train would be stopped here for me."
The smile that spread over tbe
agent's face was Interpreted by the
gentleman to Indicate doubt aa to his
veracity, and he became property In
dignant. The agent still Insisted that
he lied received no orders regarding
the flawing of the train.
. "Well, the order must certainly havt
been sent out," and may have miscar
ried," said tbe gentleman. "Can you
uot Cng the train, anyhow?"
"No. sir; that Is out of the question.
I would not flag that train for Cbaun
cey Kcpew himself, unlets I bad orders
from headquarters to do so. -It would
casi me my job If I did."
A? lhat.tPf.lJieJLUT'T;V-13C-w'

an to pranX.6uhd tbe platform in a
state of great excitement, tie pleaded,
brgged and entreated tbe agent lo Cas
the train, and finally threatened to re
lort him to the superintendent, but all
in rain. As the train drew near the
station Its speed slackened and It final
ly stopped. Tbe waiting family was
dually bundled on board In a hurry,
and as the gentleman climbed on the
car steps Just aa tbe train started ke
looked back at tbe agent triumphantly
and shouted In a voice that waa audi
ble to every one on tba station plat
form: "Didn't I tell you this train was or
dered to stop here for me?"
The agent grinned and retorted In
stentorian touts:
"Why, this train baa been stopping
here every morning for tbe laat fifteen
years!"

The Crypto Carrier.
I entertain no doubt that w bar not
as yet nearly exhausted th possibili
ties of utilising machines driven by hu
man agency. The carrier tricycle Is
daily becoming a more common object
In tbe streets of London and other
large towas. and sooner or later it will
become the recognised medium for the
collection and delivery of th lighter
kinds of merchandise.
But there Is a greater future in store
for It ss a passenger conveyance, and
although I may be regarded as unduly
sanguine I believe that before many
years have passed we shall have tricy
cles playing for passenger hire In the
streets. Such a vehicle would be far
more expeditious than a cab, and
would pay well, even If tbe charges
were half or one-third of tbe present
cab fare. Motor ears will some day,
perhaps, superaed horse for cab
work, but th man you moat bar to
work the motor might Just as well
work tbe machine. Th Crypto carrier
Is gradually superseding the older and
clumsier forms for parcels conveyance,

Tbe Helpless Lord Chaaoellotv
The responsible office of "chairman'
ar president of a legislative body is
one that generally carries wtth it both
powers and privileges. There are, how
ever, excepiiona to the rule. In the
Itritisb House of Lords, says the Sun
day Magazine, it Is not the lord chan
cellor, but the whole House tha! Is ad
dressed as "My lords."
The Speaker Is the sole Judge of all
questions of order in tbe House of
Commons; In the House of Lords such
matters, when there Is a conflict of
opinion, are decided by the whole
House, aud not by the lord chancellor.
If several members of the Hons of
Commons rise simultaneously to tak
part In a debate, the Speaker decide
who shall speak first; but If two or
more peers rise together in th Hous
of Lords, the lord chancellor cannot
decide who shall first be beard. It I
the Toice of the House that determines.
Happily, etiquette Is so strong In th
gilded chamber that It rarely happen
when the House by cries expresses Its
desire to biar one of the contend tug
peers that the others do not give way.
Hut soue years ago there waa a nota
ble scene over tlie question whether a
peer wbo bad risen from tbe front Tory
bench should be heard In preference to
a peer wbo bad risen from tbe front
Liberal bench.
Neither noble lord would gtve way,
and to btin the curious situation to an
end. Earl Granville moved that thy
Liberal peer be heard. The House di
vided on the question, and decided by a
big majority iba.t the Tory peer shouM
ie heard first.
It is Uifllcult for the average man to
understand why the lord chancellor
should uot be uble to exercise authori
ty which U vested in the chairman of
every public meeting; but there Is a
subtle constitutional point Involved In
this apparently ridiculous procedure.
All peers are equal as legislators in
ilie House cf Ixrdi. No one of them
can be vested with authority over the
others. Therefore, when a point of
ordtr is Involved, It Is tbe whole
House, and not the lord chancellor,
that must decide tbe issue.

ScenB th Elephant la 1821.
BIr. W. 8. Brigss, of Uontpelier, Vt,
sends to the Youth's Companion a New
Hampshire elephant story. He was
brought up in Keene, and there. In
August, 1821, every boy waa excited
by tbe sight of placards announcing tbe
advent of "a great natural curiosity,"
nothing less than "a living female ele
phant" admittance 12& cents, children
half-price.''
The days of Barnnm had not yet
come, and so far ss Mr. Briggs knows,
this waa the first elephant that ever
set foot In the flt..nite State. Of course
every boy was bound to see it But
hew? Nlnepences did not grow on ev
ery bosh, and some scheming was nec
essary. Tbe boys "got together in con
vention," like a committee of ways and
means, and not without result
The elephant waa exhibited In the
daytime, and waa driven from town to
town In the darkness of night The
boys found out In some way tbat it
would be driven Into Keene over a cer
tain road Prison street On this road
at a point about half a mile from the
hotel, was a large common; and half a
mile farther away was a bridge over
Beaver Brook. The boys laid their
plana to see the elephant at the expense
of a wagon-load of shavings and a peck
of potatoes,
Tbese were deposited on tbe common.
Then boys were stationed at short In
tervals along the road, beginning at
the bridge. Tbe moment the elephant
arrived at the bridge the urst boy was
to shout "Bullo!" at the top of hia voice,
sad start on the run for the common.
Tbe next boy, bearing the about, was
to de like wise, and 00 on down tbt
line.
Wen, the nlgbt came, and with It tbe
elephant. But when the first boy saw
It be waa literally struck dumb wKh
astonishment An he could not about,
be waited to see the creature cross the
bridge. When ahe pat her foot on It,
however, ahe felt that It was not safe,
and refused to proceed, aad tbe men in
charge had to drive ber through the
stream.
' By thia time the sentry had recovered
bis voice, and witb a vigorous "Hullo!"
started down the road. Before the ele
phant reached tbe common the boys
were all there and the shavings were
la a blaze. By the light of the fire the
elephant caught sight of tbe pile of po
tatoes, and no persuasion could get ber
past them till tbey were devoured.
And there stood tbe boys looking on.
with tbelr money, if tbey bad any, safe
In their pockets.
Mr. Briggs declares that thia line ot
boys was the original telephone; and
that the modern Instrument date back
to thia nocturnal New Hampshire be
ginning he proves by tlie fact tbat the
word 'TO nil" la still, the telephonic
signal tbe country overt .

KIDNEY TROUBLES
Oared by Lydia E. Pinkham'l
Vegetable Compound,
Also Backache.
I cannot speak too highly of aba,
Pinkham's Medicine, for it haa done so
much for me. I have been a great suf
ferer from Kidney trouble, pains in
muscles, joints, back and shoulders;
feet would swell. I also had womb
troubles and leucorrhoea. After using
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and Blood Purifier and Liver
Pills, I felt like a new woman, lfy
kidneys are now in perfect condition,
and all my other troubles are cured.
Mrs. Maogik Potts, 321 KauffmaaSt,
Philadelphia, Pa.
Backache.
My system was entirely run down,
and I suSerad with terrible backache
in the small of my back and could
hardly stand upright. I was more
tired in the morning than on retiring
at night. I had no appetite. Since
taking Lydia E. Pikham'a Vegetable
Compound, I have rained fifteen pounds,
and I look better than I ever looked
before. I shall recommend it to all
my friends, as it certainly is a wonder
ful medicine. Mas. E. F. MoBTOH, 1043
Hopkins St., Cincinnati, Ohio.
Kidney Trouble.
Before taking- Lydia B. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, I had suffered
many years with kidney trouble. Tho
pains in my back and shouldets wore
terrible. My menstruation became Ir
regular, and I was troubled with leu
corrhoea. I was growing very weak. I
had been to many physicians but re
ceived no benefit I began the use of
Mrs. Pinkham's medicine, and the first
bottle relieved the pain in my back
and regulated the menses, . It is the
best kind of medicine that I have ever
taken, for it relieved the pain so quickly
and cured the disease. Mas. Ijl.l.iait
