Mr. Shollicks was very angry.
Eorne one had broken his favorite
meerschaum, and replaced it in its
case, lie questioned his wife and
the servants about it, but thoy alike
professed to be unaware that it had
happened.
Presently his only son came in.
"George," said his excited parent,
. "do you know anything about his
broken pipe?"
"Father," sobbed the lad, "I cannot
tell a lie. Forgive me, father! It
was I who did It. I cannot tell a
lie. Forgive me, father! It was I
who did it. I cannot tell a lie!
Mr. Shollicks patted the boy's
head, in intimation that the ofTcnso
was forgiven, and then rushed from
the house to melt into an agony of
tears.
But it was not the shattering of
his meerschaum that distressed him
now. He had quite forgotten it. A
worse thing had befallen him.
"Heaven help me!" he moaned. |
"Ever since my son was born it has
been my ambition, my dearest wish,
to rear him for my own profession;
and now—and now—! Oh, it Is a
cruel blow!"

A WOMAN'S HEART.
ONE DISEASE THAT BAFFLES THE
PHYSICIANS.
The Story of a Woman Who Suffered I®*
Nino Years—How She Wn* Cured.
(From (he Newark, N. J., Evening New*.)
On the summit of a pretty little knoll In
the heart of the village of Clifton, N. J.,
stands a hamisonao residence about
cluster the elements of what Is roganfeii by
the country peoplo round about as little
short of a miracle. The house is occupied !
by tho family of Mr. Geo. Archer, a former
attache of tho police department of New
York City, hut who now holds a responsible
position with tho Standard Oil Company.
Mr. Archer's family consists of his wife, n
uprightly little woman, who presents a pic
turoof perfoet health, and a son, twonty
, seven years of ago. No one would suppose
to look nt Mrs. Archer now that she was for
nearly nine years, and less than two months
ago, an invalid so dobilitated that life was
a burden. Yet such was tho ens \ according j
'lo the statements made by Mrs. Archer and I
her relatives to a reporter who visited her I
pretty home recently.
In 1833 she strainc 1 herself in running to
cnteh a boat. Then ensueJ a long spell of
I Illness, resulting from tho tax upon her
1 strength. Doctor after doctor w.is consulted
I nnd while all agreed that tho patient was
i suffering from a valvular trouble of the
i heart, none could afford her tho slightest ro-
I liof.
j "Oh, tho agony [ havo suffered," said !
Mrs. Archer, In speaking of her illness. "I j
j could not walk across tho floor; neither
could I go upstairs without stopping to let i
I the pain in my chest and left arm cease. I i
J felt an awful constriction about my arms j
i nnd chest as though I were tiod with ropes, j
Then there was u torri do noiso at my right \
I ear, like the labored breathing o.f some grout
j animal I have often turned expecting to
see some creature at my side. The only re- 1
lief I obtaine 1 was when 1 visited Florida !
and spent several months there. On my re- |
turn, however, the pain came hack with re- 1
newed fore.
I "Last July," continued Mrs. Archer, "I |
was at Spriugfb-ld, visiting, an t my ;
mother slowed tno an aecount in the j
i Springfield Examiner, telling 01 the wonder- i
| lui cures effected by ui-use of Dr. Williams'
| Pink Ptlls for Palo People. My mother
urge l mo to try tho pills, an l on November
23th last I bought a box an I began taking
' thorn, ami I have taken them ever since, ex
j cept for a short interval. The first box did
: not seem to benefit rne, but I persevered,
j encouraged by the requests of my relatives.
After beginning on tho second box, to my
I wonder, the noiso at my right ear'caused on
-111 rely. 1 kept right on and the distress that
I used to foel in my chest and arm gradually
1 disappeared. The blood has returned to my
I face, tips and ears, which were entirely do
; void of color, and I feel well and strong
again.
"My SOD, too, had been troubled with gas
tritis and I ludueed him to try tho Pink
Pills, with great benefit. 1 leel that uvery-
I body ought to know of my wonderful euro
I and I bless God that I have found some
j thing that lias given me this great reli *f."
j Mr. Archer confirmed his wile's statement
I an t said that a your ago Mrs. Archer could
1 not walk one hundred feet without sitting
I down to rest.

A KIDNAPPED LORD.
BY ISABEL MC ELITEXY.
ADDLE the horses
& f nnd scour thecoun
try at once," said
the Dttko of De- 1
vk mbm vou ' ,lfl servant
|S| finished telling him
news. The
Duke was in deep
J distress, and much
agitate d. The
Dnehcss sat iu the
rocking chair, with
I her laco handker-
I chief at her eyes.
*J J Tho servants wero
I t running in all di-
I levJ \ ructions. They had
I % w I already searched
| g f j every corner of De-
J n If von castle for lit-
I I tie St. Clair, tho |
j I t /■'& Duke's oldest sou ; j
hut he was not in
the attic, nor in the I
watch tower, nor had ho been found '
in the waters of the moat, nor yet in |
the shrubbery about the castle. No
body knew just how long ho had been
gone. Certain it was, however, that
even the twenty guinea gold piece,
which tho Duke offered to tho man
who should find hitn, still lay on tho
table unclaimed.
And now it was discovered that
Holla, tho big bull dog and insepara
ble companion of tho littlo lord, was
also nowhere to be found. Had thoy
wandered beyond tho walls and beou
lost in the immense woods that lay
stretched many miles between them
and Loudon? That was what every
body now feared. It was even worse I
than this, for tho Duko had scarcely
ceased to explain this to the boy's
mother when a servant entered the
room breathlessly. "Please, your
Honor," 110 exclaimed hastily, touch
ing his hut, "tho gypsies havo been
about here. Traces of them have been
seen on tho edge of the forest. Goef- j
frey and Thomas, tho stable boys,
found tho ashes of a fire at tho border
I of the small clearing. The knaves were
all &one, but it would seem that they
I can't havo been gone very long. I
| mistrust, your Honor, that they havo
j tho boy."
At these words tho Duchess gave a
cry of fright und horror. The gypsies
of that time wero a wild, wandering,
lawless, predatory race. Outlaws to
society, banished proscribed, they
still movod iu roving bands through
tho country, stealing poultry and
horses, telling fortunes aud not infre
quently retaliating for some bit of
malice or persecution by the abduc
tion of a child.
Unhappy was the fato of such n
child. Either it grow lip a wild and
tierce Ishmaelite, like its captors, or,
what was more common, was conveyed
secretly to tho city and sold for so
much gold to a stranger. For in those
days there was constant nood of chil
dren to sweep tlio chimneys, aud tho ;
numbers wore often recruited by kid
napping and cruelty. Tho life was
hard and short. Some fell victims to
tho harshness of their masters: whilo
others in climbing up tho chimneys,
lost their hold and fell, sometimes
breaking their bones, and sometimes
meeting an awful death iu tho flames
that wero burning in tho fireplaces
below.
It was tho thought of the wretched
ness that might befall her child
in such a life that made tho Duchess
cover her face with her hands and sob
bitterly. It was this thought too,
which made the Duke, mounted 011 a
magnificent horse, ride forth from
tho castle at tho head of his servants
to heat up tho country and find the
child if possible before it should be
too late. Hope, vengeance, deter
mination displayed themselves in his
countenance anil bearing.
The Duke's utmost efforts, however,
were of no avail. All day thoy searched
through the forest, asking among the
j charcoal burners, inquiring of tho
gamekeepers and seeking a trace, but
I they found none, and at night re-
I turned to tho castle full of despond-
I ency and tired out by their long uml
I unsuccessful hunt. The Duchess
gathered her other children more
closely about her and sat weeping
with red eyes and heavy heart. The
search was renewed tho next day and
the next. Tho ease was laid before
tho neighboring magistrates. It was
all in vain.
Tho gypsies had disappeared, nnd
all further hope of finding tho little
lord vanished completely, whilo the
twenty-guinea gold pisco lay 011 the
table covered with dust, a painful re
minder of tho lost child.
Meanwhile little St. Clair, who had
been decoyed by the gypsies out of
tho castle grounds to the edge of the
woods, was seized and hurriedly
carried away. When the boy first
I found himself out of sight of the
j castle in tho power of rough captors
he was seized with fear, not unmixed
with wonder, at their strange dress
and manners. But, like a truo little
Englishman, ho did not falter nor
cry. Ho expected soon to see the
servants and the officers come to his
rescue. Time passed, however, and
ho began to recognize that he was
helpless and alone. Only Rolla, the
faithful old bull dog, was with him,
of all the favorites and pets that he
had known. The journey was made
a-foot through the thickest and dark
est parts of the woods, and as he saw
himself dragged a prisoner through
his father's domains, faint with hun
ger and weary with the long tramp,
j the tears at last welled into his eyes,
but by a strong effort he kept them
from overflowing.
It was long past noon when they
reached the hut of the old gypsy crone
where he was to stop. She was a tall,
skinny, very black old woman. Her
long arms bare and lean, her eyes
piercing and sharp, while a gay
colored 'kerchief wound about her
head made her look like tho picture
of some old dusky Egyptian queen.
As Bill and Foxy, the two kid
nappers, drew near with their charge,
eho stood in the hut door, a sparkle
of joy in her durk eyes, but did not
utter a word until they stopped quite
close beside her.
"Well, here wo are," said Bill,
"and the young 'tin with us."
"The Duko will want to bo mak
in' some new laws against us now,
that's certain," said tlio crone, with a
malicious laugh. "Perhaps somebody
else will have as hard a time as we do.
What's sauce for tho goose is sauce
for tho gander. How did you manage
to steal him?"
"Oh, the easiest in the world," re
plied Foxy. "We just lay down in
the bushes behind tho castle wail and
when the little chap camo out to piny
and ramble about with bis dog I
squealed like a pig. The dog camo
tearing into tho bushes and tho . boy
followed him to see what was tho mat
ter. Bill then reached to ketch him
and shut him up so we wouldn't hev
all tho castle after us. That's tho way
he hurt his arm, there. As soon as
ho took hold of the boy that beastly
dog mado a spring and nipped him
with his teeth. Bill still held on to
the young 'un and I grabbed tlio dog
by tho collar and pulled him off.
Everything was done in a minute.
Bill got a pretty good pinch in tho
arm and I clapped a gag on tho boy
and tho muzzle on the dog. He's a
good 'un and we need a watchdog.
The old hag cast a glanco on liolla,
who sat besido his littlo master
placidly surveying the situation. Then
turning to Bill: "Let me 800 your
arm," she said. He drew up tho sleeve
of his jacket and showed a consider
able wound. Tho old woman muttered
something and went into the hut,from
which after a few minutes sho came
out with a poultice of herbs that she
bound about tho hurt.
While this was going on Foxy had
gone into the hut, and was cutting
slices off a haunch of roast venison
and sticking them greedily into his
mouth. St. Clair aud Holla were still
outside. When Bill's arm was dressed
they all went within and begau to oat.
Presently Foxy spoke up : "We shall
have to jog. We can't stay here. They
will be after us. It is neck or noth
ing. We will bo back in a few days
and get the young 'un."
"And what will granny do with the
littlo chap if the olliccrs como ?" asked
Bill.
The eyes of the old bchlame glittered
like steel as she answered, "Look to
ycr3elvefl,
Lead will swim in tho river,"
Corn grow ou tho rocks.
When tho knaves ot tho Duvon
C:iteh the sly gypsy lox."
"That's right, granny. You're a
cute one," said Bill. "Those that read
tho stars needn't fear men."
"It seems to me," said Foxy, hold
a long, sharp knife he had in his hand
end up on the table, "it would bo as
well to cut the young chicken's head
off and have done with it. Dead folks
don't tell tales." The old woman gave
a sort of gruut, Holla a low growl aud
St. Clair turned a littlo pale. Then
the steely shino llashe*' again in the
beldame's eyes.
"Not that. We will do more; wo
will sell him—sell him for a chimney
sweep ! The Duke's sou ! Tho Duke
of Devon's son sweeping soot out of
chimneys! His face as black as the
bottom of a kettle. He! he! he!
Boy,hold out that pretty white hand !"
She grasped the little, white, timidly
extended lingers harshly in her long
swart talons, and, opening the hand,
gazed earnestly on the
"Htunph," she muttered, and her face
clouded. "Accidents, privations,
hardships suffered—they are ovor
co.nc—humph! Joy, wealth, friends,
and vet—perhaps not —one line is not
clear."
Hho dropped the palm and said:
"You must sell him in London for a
sweep. The price of the Duke's
chicken shall boil the gypsy's pot.
The sou of the great Dnkeof Devon,
who tried to hang tho gypsies, shall
be a sweep meaner than any scullion
in England," And a smile of grati
fied revenge flitted across tho dai k face.
So it was settled, and so iu time
little Lord St. Clair was taken up to
London and sold to old Grimes, the
master of the chimney sweeps. After
tho purchase he was taken to his new
home, a great, coarse hovel in the
lowest district of the city, where there
were thirty or forty boys of nearh
his own own age, grimy, hungry ami
cowed.
When St. Clnir was brought in the}
wero taking a wretched supper in a
squalid and cheerless basement, As
he entered they began to shout and
ridicule his white face and hands, but
the moment tho stern face of the mas
ter was seen every voice was hushed
and they scarcely dared to raise theii
eyes from their food.
"Move up there," said Grimes as h<
thrust tho little lord on a bench be
tween two dirty sweeps, but it was in
vain that St. Clair attempted to eat.
Tho tears rushed to his eyes and fell
on the crust that was all his supper.
He could not help remembering the
dining hall at Devon.
Even old Holla used to have a nice
dinner, a good chunk of bread and a
piece of meat from the big roast and
a bone, all laid together in the pewter
platter ou tho floor, where he dined
almost in tho style of a gentleman.
And now even Holla, his faithful
friend was separated from him. Tho
good old dog had followed him all the
way to Loudon, but to-day ho had
been lost. When the little lord
thought of all this ho began to cry
outright.
"Cry baby," whispered a bigger
boy, who sat near him, but a cuff ou
the side of the hea l proved that the
white-handed little stranger gentle
man was expert with the use of his fist
and no coward. Ever afterward these
two wero the best of friends. So tho
days dragged along dark and wearily
enough, and St. Clair, who used to be
praised by the chaplain, because he
was so bright, and by tno coachman
because he was so strong, and by tho
ladies because he was so pretty, be
came a miserable, grimy little sweep,
who had to get up before daylight and
crawl up and down sooty chimneys all
day long.
Almost a year had passed when ono
day little St. Clair, now an accom
plished chimney sweep, set out with
Master Grimes to clean chimuoys in
tho houso of a groat Lord who hftd
just returned to town for the opening
of Parliament.
All tho chimneys had been thor
oughly cleano I except that of tho hall,
where the family sat at dinner, and
St. Clair wus hurrying up, as Grimes
had told him he should have nothing
to cot until the job was finished. Sud
denly a brick in the chimney on which
his loot rested gave way, and scrab
bling, scraping, scratching, black with
soot, and lookiug more like an imp
than anything human, little St. Clftir
found himself at the bottom of tho
chimney in a battered but not badly
damaged coudition.
"Ok!" cried the Duchess turning
her head.
"What's tho matter?" exclaimed the
Duke, and nil their knives
and forks sprang from their seats in
agitation and alarm.
"What's the dirty littlo fellow do
ing here?" said tho Duke.
"Don't be too hasty," cried tho
Duchess. "Perhaps the child may bo
hurt."
The little black sweep was already
standing on his feet in the
huge fireplace, looking around
him, astonishment in wide open
eyes. There sit his father, and
there sat his mother, and there in tho
corner was old Holla, who, alarmed at
tho occurrence, had half risen to
growl at the intruder. In an histant
the young sweep was at tho knee of tho
Duchess, who, fearful of tho contact
of tho dirty sweep, was screaming
lustily for him to keep hack.
"Take him away!" cried the Duke
to tho butler.
"Give him to me," cried old
Grime 3 at the door, and, catching him
by the shoulder, ho shook him rough
ly. "I'll teach yer how to hact before
tho haristocracy. Wot do you mean?"
and ho was about to drag tho boy
away, when Holla, barking furiously,
begau to lick tho boy's face. St. dau
by this time having overcome his
fright, found his voice and began to
shout, "Papa—Mamma! Don't you
know mc?"
"Lady Amelia," cried the Duke, "it
is Lord St. Chiir, our lost sou,"—
