f 44m GUARDIAN i rI 8111 p? Well I \ m\ no n © w \ Wvi' thing for me," YgjflM added John 'ill 1 H e placed the rr letter on the table. A pack- I® ot lay there al " v so. After a moment he took this up and broke the sealing wax. A package of yellow letters fell into his hand; closely united was also a velvet miniature case and an old fashioned English locket. He turned the open face of the lock et to the light. It revealed a curious face—an aqui line nose, an artist's eye, the mouth of a ravening animal, half concealed by a beard of silk. John Steele looked at it long and earnestly. "Poor Bert! Ile'll do better now that he is out of the body," he said. lie had always been the friend of his old schoolmate, discerning the deli cate soul enthralled by the law of a depraved physical nature inherited from a line of debauched men. "Fortunately, the child is a girl," murmured Steele thoughtfully, taking up the case of purple velvet. It opened softly. The face of an angel smiled upon him. It was the portrait of Bert Vane's daughter, taken iu her seventh year. Her father's brow and eyes in fairy tracery, the 4 dead mother's sweet mouth, the curls of beauty and the smile of innocence. "We called our child Violet, John," said the letter. "You see she is a deli cate thing to be left unsheltered. God forgive me my life—for if I did not tell j'ou, you would know that folly has shortened my days. But 1 was never fit to be a father. "Will you take my little girl into your keeping? She is a good child, for the blood that flows in her veins seems to be that of her mother s family, with a little of the best of mine—enough to endear her to you, for you always loved me, believed in ine, John, when I did not believe in myself. When we meet again— "My daughter has a fortune. I trust you with her and it, as I would trust no other man on earth. John—noble John Steele! my weak hand trembles —my dying # dyingsight fails me—" That letter was Bert Vane's final act, written in the last hour of his life. The child was at sehool in Nsw England, and, after mature thought, John Steele decided that slje had bet ter stay there for the present. He was about to embark for a trip to Europe, and had no person with whom to leave her if he had her brought to Lake home. But he wrote to the matron of the school, inclosing a kind note for the child, settled the business trans actions of the matter and then took passage on board the Europia, with his young brother Herbert, destined for a musical education. He was absent two years. Leaving his stepbrother' in Ger many, he returned to Lakehome. For months he was much engrossed by business; then he found a spare op portunity to visit the Westerly acad emy. The matron received him with dig nity. But he had not much time to spend on ceremony. "I should like to see the little girl," he said, "and I should like to talk with her alone"—looking at his watch. Madam stared and withdrew. A few moments and the door swung open again. A girl of seventeen, with clustering curls and the trailing robes of womanhood swept softly toward him. He looked into the oval face, chaste os a flower, and saw the lineaments of the child's portrait. "But—" he stammered. "You thought I was a little girl, Mr. Steele? No; papa thought mo only • a child when be died, but I was fif teen." "1 have wanted to see you so much, Mr. Steele," she said. "That note, so kindly worded to the comprehension of a little child, made me love you." "1 am so old and ugly, she does not think that I have a heart," lie thought, the blood receding again, and leaving an aching void. "I am her guardian— that is all. I must not forget." It was decided that she was to go to liakehome. The inmates of the acad emy parted from her as if they loved her. But it did not need the beaming looks of teachers or the clinging em braces of the pupils to show John what n treasure she was. lie was lost in a kind of maze for days. She stole quietly as a sunbeam into her place at Lakehome. She brought flowers into the house, she opened the grand piano, she sang to its music the sweetest words. Finding that she had been taught to ride, John gave her the little brown pony, Barley, who had hitherto consumed his useless f clays in idleness, and every night as he drove out from the city, Barley and his mistress came to meet the buggy. So fair the sweet face under the plumed cap, its frank eyes nearly drove wild her guardian. If ho but told the truth, he knew that he should acknowledge himself her slave. The summer went by. Winter came. "Will you stay here, Violet, or shall t- we go into the city for the season?" "Which would you like?" "I have no choice but to satisfy you." "Then we will stay here —it is home. And we will have company and keep the holidays—make time fly, in short. llow I love this old mansion! Do you know it, guardy?" He did uot look at her, though she twined her little hands over his nrrus. He did not say that of late it had been a paradise. Uc responded lnd;f ferently—turn© I away with a white lip and a choking' in his throat. The weeks tlew by—Christmas catita. Tlio house was full of company—smil ing matrons, gay girls, indulgent papas, favorite sons and brothers. It was a happy time. Alas! alas! that earthly happiness is so short. It was Cliristia&s eve, and in the midst of the merriest game John Steele had just kissed Violet under the mis tletoe, when the door swung open, ad mitting a new arrival—a young man of onc-and-tweuty, handsome, healthy, debonair. "Brother Johnl" *'Herbert!" It was the young musician from Ger many Fresh and ardent, he was one of them immediately In the confu sion .John did not see that, from the first, he admired Violet , lie had come and seen, and he con quered. John observed, with a sharp surprise, the change iu Violet She was another being to his young broth er from what she had been to him. lie was incredulous. It could not—must not be. Then he forced himself to reason calmly What right had he to rebel? They were both young and happy. It was fitting. "Only she is all the world to me, and another air face will please Her bert as well!" his tortured spirit cried. "But 'tis a dangerous thing to play witli souls." He dreaded to interfere—ho dared not confess. "Fool! I should only frighten and wound lier. my kittle dove! What am I in her eyes! A dull, plodding gray beard! Why should 1 scare her in her happy dream?" Then a gleam of hope would force its way into the darkness: "lint she has been happy with me until that boy came. Might she not he willing, if she knew—ah! if she knew but half my love? Oh! 1 cannot, cannot lose her!" And yet, to all observant eyes, he was the grave, reserved, quiet John Steele—courteous with his equals, kind to his inferiors. He was, as ever, the thoughtful host, the indulgent, the steady friend. The hidden war with himself went on ffr weeks. At last he made his de cision. "When Herbert asks her hand of me I shall know whether or not she truly loves me. If all her heart is not his 1 will hope—l will offer my love to her. If she confesses to loving him I will be silent forever." The holidays went by, the house grew quiet—Herbert sought an inter view with his elder brother. John listened quietly. "I have expected this, Herbert. I will talk with Violet." "But you can give me your con sent." "1 can sav nothing now." With a look of surprise Herbert withdrew—went down the wide oak stair, crossed the terraces, whistling. John rang the study hell. "Pompey, ask Mis# Vane to come to me." He turned faint at the sound of her ligntstep on the velvet of the hall, yet fought off the weakness success _ 0 1 =#saAjl lff§ I'fl , •WHAT IS ALL THIS HERBERT TF.LLS ME?" fully before she came in The pain re mained, but she saw no sign of it. She wore a dress of blue, her bronze curls clung about her shy face, her pet freyhouna Caliph followed close at iier side. He motioned her gently to a neat. For a moment he did not speak—he felt tired with suffering. Her dog which he had given her ifroSsed t'.ie room, and, laying his slcn !er hea l upon his knee, looked up wistfully into his face. "What is all this that Herbert 'ells me, Violet?" with a forced binilc, •i steady voice. "lie has told you?" with a swift blush. "Told me what. Violet? Come closer, little one, and let me look into your face. Whh. could he tell me?" "That we love each other." She was on her knees beside his chair, her blushing, bright feutures hidden on his shoulder. She could not see his lr.ee. His face?—no, oh! no! "My child, have you quite given your heart to Uiis young brother of mine so soon! It is but a little while that you have known liitn." "Utterly! A little while but it seems a long while that we have been together. 1 have been—l am so happy with him, gnurdy!" "But you have been happy with me ~have you not?" "Ah! that is different." A little silence. He quietly and for ever put away all hope. "Yes, vi ry different, my Violet Kiss me, little one—only once. There thank you, dear. Go now and say td Herbert that I give you to him, and t< the life you have chosen, as his wife.' She slipped away, like a .beam ol light. But Caliph, for the first time in his life, when permitted, did not follow her. lie pressed closer to John's and uttered a pitiful whine. Gaining no attention, he joined the silence of The stately room, easing his troubled heart by the em ployment of lapping up with his slen der tonguo the tears that fell on the folded hands of the master of Lake home. - Pica bant Hours, THE WOMEN WERE GAME. jleans Adopted !>y T\vr Sinters to Stop a Levy on w Steer. Two miles east of Coosa is a moun tain called Judy's mountain, at the foot of which live Betsy and Judith Lewis, generally called Bet and J tide, for short. The Rome (Oa.) Tribune says that a merchant has a small fi. fa. against Bet, and told a bailiff to levy on Bull, a large white-faced steer, which had cost. Bet about $l5O, buying him in a bailiff's sale, besides the orig inal purchase money. The bailiff declared he wouldn't go unless the merchant went along to point out the property. Then Joe Lewis, a man about town, but not reluted to Bet, joncluded to go along and see the fun. The three rode up to the Lewis house and called for Bull. Bet said he was fo/f| Km/} ~7 I mF / fj ; j yj. (MmWtlllll SHE SEIZED THE HOUSE BY THE BRIDLE down in the field, but no living inun could rope him. The party rode down through the .field with Bet and Jude following them, heaping anathemas upon the head of the merchant and swearing he stole the shingles from them that were on his house. When the bailiff and Lewis had passed through a gap in the cross fence Bet squared herself in the gap and Swore us long us skies and waves wero blue Itae pesky merchant should not pass through. The merchant, who was on a very large horse, rode back about fifty yards and charged the gap, thinking Bet would step out of the way, but not a bit did Bettie. She seized the horse by the bridle and set him down on his haunches like a setter dog. The bailiff then held Bet till the merchant passed through, she being too smart to resist an officer. When they came up with Ball the bailit? threw the line over his horns and Bet jerked it off, which was re peated several times. Finally Bet threw her arms around the steer's liorns and blocked the game. When the bailiff told the merchant to hold Bet, she made at him for a fight. He caught her by each arm, and by a superhuman effort held her off at arm's length, while she squirmed and swore she would cut his heart out. At this juncture Bet's dog, conclud ing it was a free-for-all fight, grabbed the steer by the tail, whereupon Bull kicked loose from everything unci started off on a dead run. WIDOW AND WILDCAT It Chased Iter Into the House anil 8h Squeezed It to Heath. Widow Wilson, of Weeler's Farms, Conn., who lives on the Burnt Pluins road, was running home on foot from the village at 8:80 o'clock last Tuesday evening when, as she turned from the Burnt Plains road into the narrow cut tle lane that leads to her house, she heard her dog growl. The animal rushed to her skirts and assumed a bel ligerent position, and as it did so she heard a snarl from the stone wall on the right and knew it was a wildcat. The widow only caught a dim glimpse of some object crouching on the wall, and then she ran with all the speed her sixty-five years allowed. She heard the creature snapping and spitting THE WIDOW CLOSED THE DOOR ON ITS BODY. close at her heels all the way, but it never caught Tip with her until she reached her door. Before she could enter something struck her shoulder and half knocked her over the sill u The plucky pup, Tim, came to the res cue and sailed into her big adversary. This for a moment drew off the brute's attention, and the widow lost no time in slipping past and closing the door. Then she remembered her poor dog. She couldn't let him die without an ef fort to save him. Opening the door (ibout a foot, she called Tim, and the poor cur made a dash fof* it. Hard at his heels came the cat. As it tore through the opening the widow closed the heavy door on its body. It fought and writhed and clawed and struggled, uttering such blood-curdling screams that ""Lias" Piatt heard the row at his house, almost a mile away. The widow held on like grim death, and be fore Mr. Piatt arrived breathless on the scene she had squeezed the life out of the "varmint." The cat weighed forty-nine pounds, and evidently, from the scars it bore on its head and back, was an ugly old specimen.

This captivating young MISS MART VICTORIA LKITER. * heiress has spent most of her life in travel and study abroad and will be entirely competent to follow his lord ship in any mental (lights he muy feel disposed to indulge. In the way of money, too, the Chi cago girl will probably not be found wanting, and if the blushing bride is to be endowed at the altar with enough titles to fill a book and more ancestors than pounds sterling, yet the father-in-law, whose fortune was made in trade, is not the man to accept a good thing without paying for it. The rent roll of a large number of build ings >ll Chicago will come in quite handy in paying the ordinary hills of the hereditary legislator and his Amer ican wife and will not be unwelcome when it conies to renovating the an cestral manors and cutting the park grass. Mr. Leiter is a multi-million aire. The early profits of the dry goods business discreetly invested in real estate have sent the number of millions up to a figure which is largely speculative. JOHN STUART BLACKIE. ll® Wuh One of the Few Great Scholars o' the I're.tent General ion. John Stuart Blackie, who died re cently at Edinburg, Scotland, was born in Glasgow in July, 1800. His father was a banker of Aberdeen, ami young Blackie received his education at that place and Edinburg. Ho was an ardent student in his youth of German, Ital ian and classical philology. In 1834 he translated metrically Goethe's "Faust." He studied law and was admitted to practice in Scotland in the year of his translation of "Faust." Seven years later Prof. Blackie was appointed to the cliair of Latin literature in Mari schal college, Aberdeen, lie remained at this post for nearly twelve years. As a lecturer he was recognized as a man of rare ability. His translations and reviews were widely read and udmircd. By his efforts Prof. Blackie succeeded in raising $(>0,000 for the endowment of a chair of the Celtic language in the university of Edinburg. For many years he was the professor of Greek at Edinburg, resigning the position in 1882. After his resignation he pub lished many translations and reviews and lectured at the universities in be half of the modern Greeks. Prof. Blackio's articles in the Scottish Re view and the Nineteenth Century Mag azine have been widely read. Two years ago Prof, ami Mrs. Blackie celebrated their golden wedding. Mrs. JOHN STUART DLACKIR. Blackie was the daughter of James Wyld, of Gilston. Until shortly before his death Prof. Blackie was a familiar figure on the streets of Edinburg. His hair was white, but his form was erect and his ; hearing vigorous, and there was but I little to show that he had lived through the greater part of a century. j i Mortgages in This Country. There are 12,090,152 families living in ; the United States, of which 4,707,179 1 1 occupy farms and 7,922,973 occupy homes in town. Of the total, 47.8 per cent, own their farms and homes and 52.2 per cent, pay rent. Of the farms or homes, 72.03 per cent, are entirely ; ' free from incumbrance and only 27.97 per cent, are mortgaged at all. And the mortguges represent but 37.5 per ; cent, of the value of the property, the ' average value of the incumbered farms or homes being $3,352 and the average amount of the mortgage $1,257. Mort gages are generally looked upon as evi- i dence of failing fortunes. On the con-I trary, it is estimated by some they rep resent enterprise and development. ; Farms generally ure mortgaged for the i implements that work them. Metal* of the Sun.
