'Now, in the firmt place," said Lord Kil

"did she, when ahe seat for you thia morn

A rinathwaite said he would do his best,
and Je thouglit there was no need for
Ixrd tiluouau to worry hi a-!' over the
natural aaprtces of a lady accustomed i
the lnsinut gratification of hT wishes.
Hut he retneuibered the flashes of fierce,
feverish longing in her eyes, and thought

few days before her marriage. There if
roly otie passage I need trouble yoi with;
I have read it again and again."
. There waa little necessity for this ex
planation; the Ustr itself betrayed the
fact. Worn In the ULXa so that it scarce
ly held together, the old letter, wnich Lord
KiUhwiun took from a case in hi b.reast
iKM.ket, ehowed ewideut signs of the olu
feer of times he ha tajien it out to pore
over its meaning. The particular passage
-. which he poinid out to the o&cjor ran
thus:
There are two Injunctions which, be

s.isesa I feel lu the knowledge that my
dear child and everything else I care for
an this wrld, will be in the charge of a

' -That is the passage," said Lord Kil
dotuin, when Armathwaite had got aa far
a this. "1 read it quite simply when I
6rst received It. But since then the fre
quent recurrence of her fits of feverish
melancholy has made me wonder whether
there was not a deeper meaning ia her
father's words -uhether, in fact, the del
Icacy te which he referred waa not really
st disease, which might carry off my wife
sit any moment If she were exposed to the
atrain ef undue excitement. Now, doesn't
it strike you In that light?"
U la certainly a possible Interpreta
tion to put upon it. On the other hand,
yoa must make allowance for the exag
cerated sentiment of a father with an
only child; especially aa you see from th
other flnuse, his far-fetched fear that a
little indiscriminate charity would breed
pauperism, to what wild Ueaa his morbid
sensibility could lead him."
"Yes, yes, that ia true; that notion is
far-fetched, of course. es. After aj

"And now let me venture upon a word
for yourself, Iord Kildonan. Jet her lady

"A different man! Ah, it'a too late

It was a long but a pleassnt walk back
to Hrazksonie. Armathwaite went by

he had conceived a devotion as strong as
it wns chivalrous; and regarding blmeelf
as iir jte-aupointed champion, be held a
tixed nu.i ucrs.ULioiis conviction tbet the
service of whlcfe Uf. f'eeie naa spoaen
ui ii ti rendered ber ty hJmself. In
the meantime the feeling she iuspired in
him was so r.vrential that he refrained
fm faking the higher rxad by which he
would hare passed close to her bUe, and
scarcely d&r4 to glance Jhai way when
he reached the point where the higher and
the lower roads met, vVfaifo he reached
liranksome he had to pass the station on
bis way to Dr. Peele's; but no sooner had
he JU.ne so than he retraced bis steps, and
eoiiig' insight through to the platform,
found himself fcpe to face with Alma
Vnititfopt. lf.e raised Lif hat, but showed
no surprhae, an 4 neither dU she.
"Art ypa fuhg Hfty 7'' he asied, la a
low voice, all thought of a4res8iug her
with -jommonplaces dif appearing as h
noted the utter sadness of her expression
"' she answered. "It Is Uncle Ilugb
who Is going, iff husband has sent him
away."
She onld only Just breathe out the last
words, her voice failing her entirely, and
her under lip pitifully quivering. Arma
thwaite flamed Into wrath, and splutter
ed out indignant interjections half aloild.
She lucked up at him and laughed a little.
"We knew 7u would be sorry, too."
she said, holding 6ni her hand to him.
"Uncle Hugh pretends he doesn't care,
and ire sU right, auJ Ned and I shall get
,n better v. !i"n he's away. But we
sha'n't. He's just c.-jne up to say good
by to Willie- J'm rather yelous of Millie
witn him, you Know."
And t-he looked mournfully away iu
At that moment the. elder Mr. Crosmont
came out from the ticket office; be was
ostentatiously cheerful, and resoIvfeAy
l.-u t on making the best of this new turn
of affairs. He made Alma sit down to
rest, while he-carried off the young doctor
for talk. . Uncle luigh was overjoyed
to lcara that Armathwaite tnought of re
maining la the neighborhood, and began
eagerly to explain to him the position of
affalra.
"The fact Is, Ned made op his mind to
;lve me notice to quit a long time back,"
he said. "But I saw bis little game, and
was so lamb-like, for the little one's sake.
that he didn't know where to have me til!
last !cht. when he came home in a vll
lainims tet;per, and pitched into the poor
child for being extravagant. Now you've
seen a good way into the Ins and outs of
things up at Ned's, and I want 70U to be
a friend, as far as you can, to the little
jue while I'm away, so Jt doesn't matter
if I tell you a little more, I don t want
to say a word against my nephew; he's as
good a lad at heart as ever lived, hut be
hasn't been quite at bis best of late, and
he's taken to being so very close-fisted
that it's aii th.e little one can do to man
age with what he gives her. She's never
had a new dress since she was married;
though, luckily. Dr. Peele gave her such
a handsome trousseau that it doesn t mat
ter. But though you can manage like
that to dress on nothing you can't keep a
household going on nothing, and that Is
what Ned seems to be trying to train her
to do. I've pone wnat little I could, I
needn't tell you; tut I'm not a rich man.
and the trifling driblets I've been able
to pay have not been much good. And
new it will be awfully hard for the child
to fight tie debts and the duns alone."
"And what doea he do with his money V
Surely he must get a decent salary from

more confidential work to do than a man
in bis position usually baa."
"Well, be says his lordship bas the de

"But it's enough to lire upon, surely?
It cngbt to be. Look here, there's no

"Why don't you speak to him?"
"I did try last night, and be flew lnt
a rage, and said hia wife's aversion and
Lady Klldonan'a cold coquetries drov

"Lady Klldonan'a coquetries! II said
that. Old he?"
"Yes. I told him she ought te ke astsass

When the train had -crawled out of the)
station, Armathwaite spoke to Alma, wbe

Will yoe come to Dr. Peele's aad as

CHAPTER XI. tf-
Frank Armathwaite anent the first tea
daya after bis arrival at Branksome in
making the acquaintance of the various
ti.m of the old doctor, wno waa pnpmar,
aud had made himself a great reputation
by his able treatment of that important
class of patients who can afford to nurse
every trilling ailment until imagination
and idleness work it into a serious ma!ady.

which increased when it became known
that he had already been consulted by
the great people st The Craga. I''rom
thut moment his success was m hia own
bands.
For ten days he saw nothing either of
the Kijdupans or of the Crosmouts, ex
cept for a fleeting glimpse he caught one
evening, wben he was opt fate on his
rouuJs, of the sleigl and its occupants.
It was g bard winter7nnd the frost still
held; and though on bright daya the sun
melted a little of the upper suow on the
more open parts, the great mass of It atill
spread over the hills and choked the val
lys, the ice on the lake grew thicker and
UiliikiV, and at night the hard roads rang
under the tre4 of man or beast. Towards
the end of hia second Wvk ? Branksome,
a little Dote from Lady Kildohaa waa re
ceived, Inviting him to a skating party to
be held on the lake on the following af
ternoon from two till five. There waa a
postscript of course: "Mrs. Crosmont has
tt3 Invited, f .trust to the mutual at
traction to fcrljjg you loth.?
Qu the foliowlpg day heavy sky and
a keen, biKpg wind eeeinpJ t) threaten
the doom of the proposed skating party.
Armathwaite, who waa out early In the
morning, hardly knew whether be moat
wished for or dreaded it. The anxiety h
felt to meet Aima pZQsraont again, to note
the progress of what .was t-f f",r tDf
strangest apt most interesting case, from
a professional point ftf ffpPr that be hud
yet nt?t with, and to arrest the miifd dis
ease which seemed to te hovering over
her, was counterbalanced by a fear which
thia sensible, practical young maq began
to feel, lest the Interest of the case and
the weirdly fascinating personality of th
patient should end by absorbing hia mind
so comnltrtalr as to render insoid and in
supportable the prosaic details of his life
and the rest of the people among wftom
that life was passed.
At S quarter past one, having gobbled
down a cruelly pasty dinner, Pr. Arma
thwaite, Mrs. Peele and Millie were all in
the pony carriage, driving towards th
meeting place, which was the Mereslde
end of the lake, on the opposite shore,
close underneath the hill on which 'iue
Crags stood. The wind had gone down;
the aky was still heavy and threatening,
and a feathery flake or two fell softly In
a weak and wavering way as an earnest
of what might be expected befcre many
hours WPfS over. A small marquee had
been erected pa f ha" shore 0 the lake,
close by (he boat house and landing stage
betopgipg to The Crags; under this shel

FRAYNE'S FATAL SHOT.
American Parallel la the Hecemt
hootinw en th. Genus ftsr.
The conviction of a. German expert
marksman in a Berlin court of the
crime of "pandering to the public lust
for excitement" was the result of an
accident almost Identical lu every de
tail with a tragedy that occurred some
years ago in this country. About six
weeks ago in a Berlin music ball a
marksman attempted to shoot an apple
from the bead of a young girl. He had
frequently accomplished the feat be
fore with success. Bui through some.
Inaccuracy q alio, the (mllef, instead of,
passing through the apple, struck the
womnq In the head and killed Jier li
Htautly, He waa aentepced for this tq
ix months' Imprisonment, There was
no charge of negllgpnte or criminal l"
tent. Bo the charge that he had nt'
tempted to "pander to the public lust
for excitement" was Invented to fit hh
case. . "
The Fjctjm. pf the American traged;
was Annie Von Viebreq, and fhe wan
who shot her was Frank I, Prayne,
who, when lie retired from the stago,
had made a fortune through bis expert

feat was successfully continued fur
three yenrs. It was done every plght
aud frequently twice at the many matl

which Frayne appeared.
Toward thff end of November. JSS?
the company reached a theater fn 'Cin

placed on the girl's head and Frayne
took aim and fired. As they heard tho
crack of the rifle, the spectators saw
Miss yon Bchren fall to the stage with
. fppt Of Wood o her fqrehpad. The
actor turned anl. seeing what tmd w
eurred, ran to the spot where the girl
lay and fell fainting by her side. The
piirtniV rrippprt mmedately, and the
malinger appeared ltore the "curtain,
to announce that the play would lie
brought to an end Immediately. (Some
pf the audience had supposed' tftat the
scene waa a part of the play. But it
was soon whispered pliout that the girl
had beep killed. The holiday crowd In
tho streeta heard the reiort, and beforo
long several thousand people had gath
ered In front of the building, although
nobody knew certainly of the tragedy
jnslde.
The girl diet within a few mlnutet
after the bullet struck her over the left
eye. Fraypp, who was frantic with pgr
citement, was locked up. The apple
was four Inches abovo ber bead on a
hat, nnd the -Bet-mental use of a defect
ive cartridge wits rhe cause of her
death. Frayne protested that there
was no danger lu the backward shot, ns
It had repeatedly been done without
serious results. The coroner's Jury re
leased ulni and be declared that lie
would never shoot again. But after a
brief retirement, he returned, t'pthq
stage and acted in his drama, for nine
yeara longer, although he never re
peated the backward shot with a wom
an, and lndoed abandoned the play in
which the accident occurred.
It is said of the German that ho was
about to marry the girl he killed, and
the same story was told of Frayne and
Miss Von Behren. He died about sis
years ago, and the shock he received
when ho killed the girl Is said to have
impaired bhj health seriously-
The shot that killed Miss Von Behren
seems to have had a fatal effect on
plays of this class. Twenty years ago
they were highly popular, and they
continued so down to a Tery recent
date. But they have almost wholly dis

The Fraternal Orders.
The recently published statistics of
the fraternal and benevolent associa
tions of the United States present souio
facts that may be surprising to per
sons who have never looked Into the
subject. The total membership of these
orders Is 7.350.000, of whch number
about 1,000,000 are Free Masons, more
than 800,000 Odd Fellows and about
600,000 Knights of Pythias, The rest
are scattered throughout many organ
izations, the best known of which are
the Ancient Order of Foresters and the
Ancient Order of United Workmen
The size of this fraternity army ran be
better appreciated when It ts consid
ered that at the last presidential elec
tion the total vote cant In the United
States was about 14,000.000, scarcely
double the size of the fraternity me'-n-bersblp.
Tho development of these fraternal
and benevolent organizations has been
largest In recent years because, of the
extension of what la known as the ?'sys
tern of sick benefits." Members have
been guaranteed a certain means of
support In case of sickness and a pro
portionate return In tho way of life In
surance for the pioney paid In when
they die, and these features have serv
ed to Dooulnrlze the various orucrs t.

DANES IN AMERICA,

The State of Iowa has one Danish
settlement of 5,000 people, says a writ

hired themselves out q APepteaB farm

It has been an Interesting study to
watch the steady rise of these young
men, some of them In time buyius thelt
employers' farms. In Jackson Town

of about two miles, can be found five
farms of 200 or more acres each, be
longing to Danes who. twenty years,
ago, vefeVoiialilcred ypry poor, in the
settlement are a number of Danish
farms of over ooo acres each. When we
consider that these men came here un
able to speak our tongue, unfamiliar
.with American customs and laws, un
used fo the proluc.ts of.t'ankee Inven

Naval Mishaps,
We have a good navy, and we do not
appreciate It. As a matter of fact, ciw
ualtles to our new ariuorclads nud
cruisers have not been particularly fre
quent wben their size and their numlie,
are considered. In this country every
trivial mischance is c.tught up and ex
ploited by the sensational newspapers,
but nothing is said of similar accidents
q foreign navies. Barring the destruc
tion f Admiral Jiniberlyrs fleet by the
Kamoan hurries ue In 1889, which no
skill or foresttfbt could have prevented,
our naval service for many years has
been remnrkablT frvo from really seri
ous disasters.
There Is nothing In otr records to
compare with the capsizing of the Brit
ish frigate Captnln with half a thou
sand men in 1870, or the f.nnl collision
of the British ironclads Vatigutrd and
Iron Duke in 87.Y or tint bf the ;r

sinking of the British flagship Victoria,

cers and 830 sailors, by collision with
the Campcrdown on June 22, 1803, In
tho Mediterranean, or the wreck of tha
Spanish cruiser Rein.i Kegente, on
March 10. 1895, with 420 officers anc
seamen.
The list of minor ncoldents to foreign
paval vessels iu the past few years
would be too long to enumerate. But
the standing of the British Ironclads
Howe and Anson, the flagship A111

more grave affairs than any such acci

bombardment of commercial suooess will
never stop thlsqunrrel between capital and
labor.
Neither will the contest be settled by
cynical aud unsympathetic treatment of
the laboring classes. There are those who
speak of them as though they were, only
cattle or draft horses. Their nerves are
nothing, their domestic comfort is nothing,
their happiness is nothing. Ttjey have UQ

Well, if this controversy between capital

they do, it Is time for us to look somewhere
else for relief, and it points from my text.

shoulder of toll and says, with a voice that
will grandly and gloriously settle this and
settle everything, "Whatsoever ye would

to them" that is, the lady of the house

ed If I were down stairs and rc were my
work to wash and 000k and sweep and it
were the duty of the maid In the kitchen to

itehen must say: "If my employor seems
to he more prosperous than I, that is no
fault of hers. I shall not treat her as an
enemy. I will have the same industry and
fidelity down stairs as I would expect from
mv subordinates It I happened to both

The owner ot an iron mill, having taken
a dose of my text before leaving home in
the morning, will go into his foundry, and,
passing into what la called the puddling
riom, he will sou a man there stripped to
the waist and beaweAted and exhausted
with the labor and the toil, and he will say
to him: "Why. It seems to bo very hot in

After awhtle crash goes the money mar

articles manufacture.' Vv thut iron mill,
and the owner does, 11 huow what to do.
He says: "rihaU ) stop the mill, or shall I
run it n halt time, or shall I cut down the
men'u wagea?" He walks , n0or of his
eouuttng room a'J day, hitrdlv Liiowiug
rr... to do. Toward ever..i ue culls all
the laborers together. They stand all
around, soiue vlth' arms akimbo, some with
folded uriiis, wondering what the boss is
going to do now. The manufacturer says:
"Men, times are very hard. I don't make
$20 where I used a make 1(K. Somehow,
there is no demand now for what we ninnu
facturu, or but very little demamL You
see, I am nt vast expense, audi hnveonllnd
you togcthor this afternoon to see what
you would advise. I don't want to shut
up the mill because that would force you
out of work, nnd you have always been very
faithful, and I like you, and you seem to
like me, and the bairns must be looked
after, and your wife will after awhile want
a new dress. I don't know what to do."
There is a dead halt for a, minute or two.
nnd then one of the. workmen steps nut
from the 'ranks, of his fellows nnd says:
"Boss, you have leen very good to us, and
when you proSiere,i we prosere(l, and now
you are in n tight place and I am sorry, and
we have got to sympathize with you. f,
Jon't know how the others feel, but I pro

joinra les nnd t,-uys: "Boys, what do you

will say aye."
"Aye. aye, aye!" shout 200 voices.
But the mill owner, getting iu same new

an hour liefore the procession gels to the

workmen art at the grave; waiting for the
arrival of the funeral pugeiiut. The minis

quent euloglum before they started from

are said that day by the working classes
standing around the tomb.
That night iu all the cabins of the work

the widowhood and the orphanage m the
inaiihioii lire re'neuhred. No glaring pop
ulations look aver the Irou fence of the
cemetery, but, hovering over the scene, the
bcuK.ltxtloii of God aud man is a lining for
the fulililment of the Chrstlike Injunction,
"Whatsoever ye wou.li! that men should do
to you, do yc.u, even so to them."
"I'.h,"- says some man here, "that Is all
t'toptan, that ts apocryphal, that la Impos
sible." No. I cut out of a paper this: "One
of the plcnstuiteat Incidents recorded In a
long time la reported from SliefTteld, Kug
land. The wages of the men lu the Iron
works at Sheffield are regulated by a board
nt arbitration, by whose decision both mas
ters and men are bound. For some time
past tho irou and steel trade has been ex
tremely unprolltable, and the employers
?amiot, without much loss, pny the wages
fixed by the board, which neither employ
ers noretnploycd havethe power ta change.
To avoid this difficulty the workmen In one
of the largest steel works iu Sheffield hit
upon a device as rare as it was generous.
They olTere.l to work for their employers
one week without anv pay whatever."
But you go with me, ami I will show you
-not so far off as Sheffield, Engiaud fac
tories, banking houses, storehouses and
costly enterprises where this Christlike in
junction of my text Is fully kept, and you
could no more get the employer to practice
hu Injustice upou his men. or the meu to
conspire against the employer, than you
could get your right hand and your left
hand, your right eye aud your left eye,
your right ear aud your left ear. Into
physiological antagonism. Now where is
thisto U-gin? In our homes. In our stores,
ou our farms not waiting for other people
to do their duty. Is there a divergence
now letween the parlor and the kitchen?
Then there is something wrong either In
the parlor or the kitchen, srhaps tn both.
Are the clerks iu your store irate against
the linn? Then there is something wrong
either behind the counter or In the private
office, or perhaps in tmth.
The great want ot the world to-day is the
fiilillliiieut of this Christlike injunction,
that whlc.i he promulgated in His sermon
Olivctic. All the political economists un
derthe arehivnult of the heavens in con
vention for lono years cannot settle this
controversy lietweeu mouopoly and hard
work, between capital and labor. During
the Itevoliitionary War there was a heavy
piece of tiintier to be lifted, perhaps for
some fortress, and the corpu;al was over
seeing the work, nud he was giving com
mands to sime soldiers as they lifted:
"Heave away, there! Yo heave!" Well, the
timber was too heavy; they could not get
it up. There was a gcntleu.au riding by
on a horse, nnd he stopped and said to
this corporal: "Why don't you help them
lift? That timber is too heavy for them to
lift." "No,"' he said, "I won't. I am a
corporal." The gentleman got off hi
horse and came up to the place. "Now,"
lie sai.l to the soldiers, "nil together- yo
aeavel" and the timber went to Its place.
"Now," snld the gentleman to tho corporal,
"when vou have a piece of timber too
heavy for the men to lift, and you want
heli. von send to your commander-in-
chief.' It was Washington. Now, that is
about all the gospel I know the gosiiel of
giving somebody a lift, a lift out of dark
ness, a lift out of earth Into heaven. That
Is all the gospel I know-the gospel of
helping somebody else to H'.
"Oh," says some wiseacre, "talk as yon
will, the law of demand an 1 supply will
regulate these things until the end of
time." No, they will not, unless God dies
and the IciMerie of the judgment day are
spiked, and I'luto and Pr.werplne, king
and queen oT the Infernal regions, take full
possession of this world. Do you know who
supply and demand are? They have gone
Into partnership, and they propose to
swindle this earth and aro swindling it.
You are drowning. Supply and demand
stand on the shore, one on one side, the
other on the other aisle oJ the lifeboat, and
they cry out to you, "Vow, you pav us
what we ask yon for get tl ng you to shore
or go to the bottom!" If you can Iwirrow
49000 you can keep from failing in busi
ness. Supply and demand say, "Now, you.
pay us exorbitant usury or you go Into
bankruptcy." This robber firm of supply
and demnnd say to you: 'The crops aro
short. We bought up all the wheat and It
is in our bin. Now, you pay our price or
starve." That is your magnificent law of
supply and demand.
Supply and demand own the largest mill
on earth, and all the rivers roll over their
wheel, and Into their hopper thev put all
the men, women and children they can
shovel out of the centuries, and the blood
and the Ixines redden the valley while the
mill grinds. That diabolic law of supply
aud demand will yet have to stand ailde.
and Instend thereof will come the law of
love, the law of co-operation, the law of
kindness, tho law of sympathy, tho law of
Christ. 'Have you no 1. tea of the coining of
such a time? Then you do not believe tho
Bible. All the Bible Is full of promises on
this sul.j.wt, and as the ages roll on the
time will come when men of fortune will be
giving larger sums ta humanitarian and
evangelistic purposes, and there will be
more James I.enxcs nnd Peter Coopers
and William E. Dodges and George l'ea
bodya. A that time comes there will be
mofo. parks, more picture galleries, more
gnrdons thrown open for the holiday people
and the working classes.
The great patriot of France, Victor Hugo,
died. The 10,000 In his will given to. the.
poor or the ulty was only a hint of the work
he did for all Nations and for all limes. 1
wonder not that they allowed eleven day
to pass lietween his death un.l his burial,
his tw)dy meantime kept under triumphal
arch, for the world 0011M hardly afford to
let go this man who for more than eight
decades had by hts unparalleled genius
hlcssed It. His name shall tie a terror to ail
despots and an ennouragement to the strug
gling. He made the world's burden lighter
and Its darkness less dense and its chol:k
less galling and its thorns of Iniquity in
