Middleville, Mich., Oct . ,4—The

Grand Rapids Baptist nssociutiiin has

adjourned af te r Wing in annual ses-

sion two days. Rev. B. P. Hewitt ot

Grand Rapids was elected president

for the ensuing year. Good uliowiu^s

as to the progress of the church work

in all its branches were made by (lie

off icers in t h e i r r e p o r t s .

The American Baptist Publication

society offered the association $400,

provided the same amount should be

raised by the association for the pur-

pose of putting a colporteur into the

field to make a house to house can-

vass and work among the Sunday

schools. An effort will be made to

raise the necessary 1400. I t will re

quire the contribution of an average

of twelve cents b y each Sunday

school scholar in the district. I t was

voted to hold the next annual meet-

ing of the association in Lowell on

October, 1, and 2 ,1896.

GOT LOST.

J . M. Zimmerman was inspecting

| some timber in a patch of woods near

{ Alto the other day, and report says

tha t he had considerable difficulty in

finding his way ont afterwards, com-

pleting the same circle ^everal times

and arriving at the same starting

point Humor says that Geo. Cop-

pens was hunting recently in the same

wt»od6 and did not succeed in getting

ont until long after dark. And the

fun of rt was that George had traversed

that same piece of woods hundreds of

times when a boy.

GAME AT GRAND RAPIDS.

" J i m m y " Callopy and "Bobby"

Wheelock played ball yesterday. So

did seven other Grand Rapids players.

Oucanmiully a man from Low II played

also. The ball playing was little more

thau Sunday recreation for all con-

cerned. The ex-Gold Bugs were in

the g a v e just for fun and they had it.

They actually won the game without

trying. The Lowell "boys" played

well for amateurs, b a t they, of course,

did not expect to win from Gold Bug

unifunpa, even if only three of them

ware filled . with BU re enough

Bugs. No one knew who the umpi

u-as, so' he was not bothered by either

the audience or the players.

Wheeloek led off by taking two

cushions on four wide ones and a wild

pitch. Purv is drove the sphere away

down the lot for two more, scoring

"Bobby." Few ladies were present,

so Callopy struck out. Fear went to

first on four failures, and Katz headed

off the hall for two more basefi, scoring

Purvis and Fear. Dixon hi t for

three baps, letting in Katz , Brady fan-

ned. The Lowells "goob-egged," only

one man reaching first in tha t ining

on Carson's fumble. I n the minds of

the audience the game was decided at

this time and their efforta du r ing the

ImlKiice-of the game were devoted to

having " f u n " with Wheelock and

Callopy. Wheelock made one single,

Hew out to right field onoe and

reached first on balls three

imcs. Callopy struck out three times

fouled out once, and went to tim on

balls once.

The features of the game wore the

eccentric pitching of the Lowell artist,

the excellent work of Blume, their

r ight fielder, a cleverly executed

double plav in the second inning from

Dixmi t o Wheelock to Purvis , and

Dixon's home run in the third. An-

sorge, of the Michigan Agrioiiltural

college covered second base for the

visitotv and made two clean twu-hasi-

hits. The score:

8 AC UBS. John Carev, is one of Loweli's en-

j terprising farmers, and he is now

reaping a reward for his indusiry ami

forethought. The LKDUKU man met

the genial farmer on the street, Tue<-

day, when a cold wind was blowing

from ibe north-west, and Mr. Carey

remarked that he must go home and

"get at them peaches" as he still had

sixty bushels of Smocks on the trees,

"and," he remarked in a well Haps*

fii^d tone, ^I have already picked uver

1,700 bushels this season from my

8 acre orchard."

This strikes us as a pret ty good

thing. If anyone knows of a better,

please pass it around on a silver plate

and let Mr. Carey examine i t

DEADLY IMPRISONMENT.

F rank W. Clark, well known ia

Ionia county for his firm belief in

free silver, had quite an experience at

Lake Odessa Wednesday morning,

which came near costing him his life.

He was in the new vault of the Lake

Odessa Savings bank, whick is now

being finished, figuring on how much

silver it would contain, when some

one pushed the vault door shut, mak-

ing him a prisoner. I t was some

time before the door could be opened

but after hard work Clark was liber-

ated. The prisoner was as limp as a

a rag and speechless and an hour lon-

ger would have found him a corpse.

I t is rumored that he is now a gold

bug.—[Grand Rapids Democrat .

GETTING BETTER.

A letter f rom Wil l M. Chapman,

dated at Denver , October 7, says that

Miss Gladys and " A n d y " Johnson

are b j t h improving in health. To

quote: " A n d y is a little stronger

than when he arrived, and he has a

better color. Taking everything into

consideration, I think it is safe to say

that things are looking favorable fo r

him. Gladys is improving all the

time. She eats and sleeps well and

has a good color. Last Fr iday she

and Andy went to t h e doctor and

-given some medicine and

ladys was told she needed nothing."

OB ITU ART.

Miss Matie E . Head worth, was

born in Bowne, and came to Lowell

with her parente in 1885.

Af ter attending the State Normal,

she took a position in the village

schools here, which she ably aud cred-

itably filled for several years. In

1893, she went to Harvey , a suburb

of Chicago, where she has since been

teaching. A t the close of last school

year she came home, and though fee!*

ing poorly, intended to return to her

school in September. As she became

no lietter, she went to Mt. Clemens,

for treatment, and afterward, to St .

Mary's hospital, Grand Rapids.

While there, she seemed to be getting

better, but was taken worse very sud-

denly on Fr iday morning of h u t

week, and died alm. st before assist-

ance could reach her. At a pott

mortem examination the doctors pro-

nounced the disease cancer of the

stomach. Her remains were brought

to Lowell and funeral services were

held at the house on Monday morn-

ing, Rev. A P . Moors offi •iating, and

the remains were interred in the

Bowne cemelery. A large number of

friends were present at the services,

many of them being her old pupils in

school whom she had instructed from

one departmant to another aud who

were very dear to her.

She leaves u moiher, f o u r b r o t h e r

AFFSKY was a born pen ius. des-tined in time to soar to the cNzzy heights of a pro-fessional c h a i r . So. at least, said his professors at tho University of S t . Petersburg. We students like-wise held him In

awe, and hedged him around with rev-erential ostracism.

That same Kaffsky used to squander his days and nights orer mathematics and chemistry and half a dozen kindred sciences, as If life were to last for eter-nity. We did not believe in a man having so many irons In the fire, and we limited our own efforts to the ac-complishment of one single task—the regeneration of mankind—as a prelim-inary step to tbe remodeling of Hussian society.

We had weighed Kaffsky in the polit-ical balance—the only one in vogue at Russian universities ten years ago— and had found him sadly wanting.

He was a member of none of lb-! three churches—outside of which there is no salvation—that of the sworn conspirators, who edited a forbidden Journal. Land and Liberty, batched plots against tbe slate and some-times helped to carry them out; that of unsworn conspirators, from whom the former were usually re-cruited: and the bulk of students who sympathized with everything aad everybody wbo embarrassed tbe gov-ernment

And to crown all. we bad Just heard of his impending marriage. "A nice time to be thinking of marrying and feathering his n e s t r we remarked to each other. "Just when the pillars of the social edifice are giving way, and we are doing our host to poll them

Summer vacations were at hand. The last of the examinations would take place In ten days, and then we wonld dlpperse over the length and breadth of tha empire, many of us never to return again.

Suddenly we were stunned and stupefied by a bolt from the blue In the shape of a rumor that Kaffsky had been arrested.

Ho and Alexleff had gone to the theater the night before. They had walked homo together and made an appointment for the morrow at the university; but a t about 2 a. m. Kaffsky had been spirited away, and was now in the secret wing of the Lithuanian fortress.

A written request was presented by some of the professors, who were be-side themselves with Indlgns'.lon, that Kaffsky should be released on bail. Just to finish his examination and take his degree, for they knew very well It was all a misunderstanding.

But to our utmost astonishment their request was refused, and Kaffsky was removed from the Lithuanian fort-ress only to be Immured In the more terrible fortress of Peter and Paul.

The excitement caused by the arrest was assuming dangerous proportions. Nobody had cared a rap for Kaffsky a week before, and he was already a most popular hero now.

Perhaps It was hatred for the heart-less informer—wbo nad already been arrested, no doubt, to save him from being lynched—and sympathy for Anna Pavlona. whose womanly feelings had got the better of her philosophy. She bad completely broken down.

Sbe had been taken to her bed. had refused all food, had forwarded petition after petition to the minister of the In-terior. and when it became clear that she might Just as well be sowing salt on the seashore, her mind gave way. The doctors sent her moiher and her-self in post haste to the Crimea.

In October a few of us met in St. Petersburg once more—but only a few.

you with a most interesting puatscrlpt'* illII!AM II. KINGSBURY His statement was based on official

documents and this Is tbe gist of I t "When the terrorist movement was

at Us height Hit leaders were inrlelhlo and ubiquitous. We suspected that they were In the university, but that was only a guess. Once or twice Kaffsky appeared to he In the movement, but we had no proof, and could gel none. It then occurred to General 0 . of the secret department to employ a spy who had never played the part of a detective before."

"1 know. You mean the scoundrelly Informer, Boorman." I broke In.

"Boorman! Boorman! Was he? 0, of course he was. Yes. No. Boorman was not tho detective. Boorman. I see. was nearly as dangerous as Kaffsky; he was Kaffsky's right-hand man, and he got the same punishment."

This announcement took my breath away, but it only deepened the mystery.

"Two thousand three hundred rubles was what It all C O P ; , and dirt cheap, too." he w»>nt on.

"You mean the detective's reward?" I asked.

"Yes, that, of course, was over and above her regular salary, which was fifty rubles a month. I t was the only clever stroke of business she ever did."

"She!" I repeated. "Was It a woman, then?"

"O, yes; didn't I tell you?—and a woman with the making of a saint In her, too. Ha. ha, ha! She Is now a god-fearing sectarian—a pietist of some kind."

"Well, 1 remarked, "she would need a good long course of penance, were It only to atone for the fate of poor Anna Pavlona, whose life she snuffed out."

"Ha, ha, ha!" he laughed, till the big tears rolled down his furrowed cheeks. "Why, hang It. man. Anna Pavlona was herself the detective. But that was the only clever thing she ever did. She soon after left the service, found salva-tion, as they term it, in some obscure sect, and Is a pious bigot now."

When the name of the future bride was mentioned those among us who knew her were staggered a blL Anna Pavlona Smirnora was not a Venus. Bat if she had mnch lees beauty than her photograph-which is a common failing of women—she had a good deal more wit, which is not by any mean^ so common.

Formerly her democratic views had got her into hot water with the anthor-itles. and It was not without consider-able difficulty that she had obtained her present position as teacher in a girls ' gymnasy, which enabled her to live in modest competency with her widowed mother.

Tbe police, we knew, had twice or thrice made elaborate inquiries about him, had noted his comings in and go-ings oat, and had set a watch upon ais actions.

The police had made a tremendous haul among the sindents the day the nnlveni ty closed session, and many were now in their distant native vil-lages expelled from the university; others in prison, others again on the road to Siberia.

Kaffsky, we learned, was among the latter—condemned to tbe mines as a dangerous conspirator, in spite of th« intercession of the professors; Anna Pavlona was dead, according to others: but it came to pretty mnch the same thing in the end.

SENATOR KINGSBURY.

bis estimable wife, three sons and three daughters. One son, the oldest of the children, is dead. One of his sons Is now studying la*- m Olney. and another is filling a position in the Western Union Telegraph Company's office in Olney.

Mr. Kingsbury Is an earnest and ac-tive member of the Presbyterian church, and always makes it his duty to "practice what he pr<aches." He has been a republican all his life. and.

bile be is not a politician, he is in sympathy with the common people and does his duty as he thinks best for the

bole people. Mr. Kingsbury accepted the nomination for state senator after several leaolng rrpublican politicians of the district bad refused, they think-ing It wouid be a hopeless race in a democratic district, and one that had always sent a democrat to the senate. NevertheleRS. Mr. Kingsbury accepted the nomination in good faith and made a thorough canvass of the four coun-ties comprising the district—Crawford. Jasper. I-awrence and Richland—and was elected by TS2 majority, while tbe rest of the ticket was elected by the democrats by 775 majority.

Senator Kingsbury is a firm believer in the conslitutionaliiy of bis "flag law," and thinks as the years pass hy the majority of the people will take sides with him and defend "old glory" as she floats over every school-house and public building in tbe state of Hlinois.

Your blood Is what nourishes your body.

New blood Is made every minute. It goes to the lungs, gels fresh air, aud then passes through the body. In puss-lug, it depo^iis new flesh, fat, bouea, etc., and takes up worn out matter.

Thiii woru out matter gues to tbe kid-neys. The kidneys filler it out uf the blood and throw it out of the body.

That is, when they are well, they do. When your kidneys are well, they

act, as perfect fillers, to keep your blood pure. Wheu they are sick, ihey act imperfectly. Tbey leave the bad matter in. Sometimes they take out the good.

There is nothing more poisonous than bad blood.

A proof of this Is rheumatism. It Is simply a blood-poisoning caused by («ie bad matter left In the blood by aick kidneys.

Brlgbt's disease Is the kidneys work-ing the other way—taking the good food out of the blood.

Both kinds of kidney slckncss are dangerous.

Both can he cured by Dr. Hobb's Sparagus Kidney Pills.

One of tbe most wonderful facts of onr body Is this natural filter inside us. Our kidneys are very Important organs. We don't take enough care of them. We are sick oftener than there is any need for. It Is simply because we take no heed to our kidneys.

Sick kidneys show their effects in many different diseases.

Rheumatism and Brigbl's disease are very common. Anaemia. Neural-gia, Pain in the Back, Dizziness, Blad-der Troubles. Gravel, Diabetes, Sleep-lessness, Nervousntss.

These are only a few symptoms, or so-called "diseases." Back of them all are tbe sick kidneys.

Once the filters can be made to work, all these symptoms will disappear.

Dr. Hobb's Sparagus Kidney P U I A are made principally from tbe roots ot the asparagus plant, whicb has a spe-cial curative action on the kidneys. I t gives them new life and strength. I t helps them to do their work as it ought to be done. It cures their sickness. I t cleans and renews the filter.

When the kidneys are well you will feel a great difference at once. Vour complexion will clear, and your whole body will gei. renewed life and fresh-ness.

This Is the effect of Dr. Hobb's Spar-agus Kidney Fills on the sick kidneys, of the re-vitalized kidneys on the Im-pure blood.

With a course of Dr. Hobb's Spara-gus Kidney Pills you will get new life. They will cure you when other medi-cines. which do not reach the real seat of disease, cannot help yon.

Dr. Hobb's Sparagus Kidney Pills are for sale by all druggists, price 50c. per box. or will b«, sent prepaid to any ad-dress on receipt of price

everything to lose and no th ing to

I s it not ut ter folly, b o u n d i n g nl

most upon lunacy, for a boy with no

na tura l craving for tobae'do or s t rong

d r ink to deliberately force upon his

pu re and vigorous constitution nau-

seating substances tha t Will surely

work him evil and tha t can b y no

possible chance do him Shy good?

Boys, the fu tu re may look bright

to you and you think yoti have only

to command a n d the world ^Vill fall

a t your feet. You have planned out

br i l l ian t fu tures in which wealth and

position are promineil t factors. The

chances a r e against you. F o r onf

such success there are ninny fai lures

Nevertheless, vou may attain your

I rghes t ambit ion; bu t one thing is ab-

solutely cer ta in: no bad habi t will

aid you to accomplish such aims

Form the tobacco or liquor habi t s and

you are handicapped in life's race

from start to finish. W h a t sensibl

boy wishes to begin his bat t le will

the world under such forbidding

circumstances? None of the LED

G E K ' S readers, we hope.

N o w . boys, you all have some good

old friends who use tobacco or liquor

in some form, for not all such are bad

by any means. T h e y are s imply un

for tunate ; and in every other respect

may be good t rue and noble men. G(

to such a friend and ask him if i t will

he to your advan tage to form ei ther of

the habits under discussion. Having

done that,, remember tha t you are

young yet , ami t ha t there are still

several th ings fo r you to learn.

T a k e it for granted that this good old

friend who for fifty years has been n

slave to a habit , knows more about il

than you. That ' s reasonable is it not?

Then , d e a r boys, why not learn wis-

dom from n i s experience? W h y need

yon make the same mistake t ha t H K

has made, and at last, at the eiid of

life's journey , look back upon your

pa thway and th ink vainly and re-

morsefully, of what M I G H T have been,

had you profited by tbe hard earned

experience of others?

alent to saying, tha t he had a rifjht to

The Romantlo Story of a Dress Makor 'n R i s e in Life,

6 Y MR S . F . M . HOWARD.

[CopyrtyMe'l, /«».] J(3,had groat b'lalik eyes and heftvy eye-

broWa, and michl have passed for a piruto if his anillo had not bowl so thoroughly kindly, lighting up lyS whole face aud bring-ing out two good-natured dim pics; ho hud an .odd habit of running his flnger* np through his hair when he was In any way perplexed or annoyed, leaving his r.illier stubby block locks sticking up atraiRht liko porcupine quills.

"Indeed, Dr. Conroy," said Isabel, "I shall bo only too willing to see that your liirffjtlons aro carried out, for really her mjfllMin is really rep.-iiheiisibio."

"v t t n I appoint you guardian to see that ladSmeycd," giving Vhinuto directions for

'riwre was n sound Of hammering and a wyBWious going on in the room adjoining Uiifibmo room for a d;iy or two, and then h J H and Mr. Falconer assisted L.<itJe up h ^ t a l r s and ushered her into it, wilh thu

information that it Wiis hers. Isabel had followed her idea of hor

friend's character In its furnishings. While "and blue were tho prcuomiimi.ing tint s, anil purity Itself w.is person ifieil; adeop-cush-loned lounge, a large invalid's wheel chair, bright, cheerful pictures, books, and overy-whero delicate white laces and uZuro rib-bons wherever they could be used.

In an airy alcovo a dainty bed was made np, and curtained off with lace, and nt its head, In easy reach of hor hand, a little j cabinet in which her medicines and lotions ' were kept.

"Now, my dear little Invalid," said Isabel, | "let me see how you look in your chair."

"Oh, Isaboll" wuls all surprised Lottie j could say, as she sank down into tbe soft oushlons of her chair.

"You soo wo were selfish In doing this," I said Isabel, speaking rapidly sd that Lottie 1 could have no opportunity for formal thanks, nnd indeed there was no need, for tho eloquont face to'.d all that tho lips would bave spoken, "for we wished you to spend your evenings with us in our room, and wo can wheel you back and forth when you are not able to walk, you see." . "I t is Nt lovely," said Lottie, fookiug at Mr. Falconer with grateful eyes. " I won-

t .der," she added, reileutlvely, "if It ti moro * blessed to give than to receive!"

. " I t i s very pleasant to give, I assure you," he replied, answering her look with a smilo. "Idon' t ImaKine that innn who hid his talent in a napkin to have been a very happy man, 'do you. Miss Ford I"

Mr. Falconer had roueived Isabel's com-munication in regard to her birth with pleaseu surprise, and had heartily approved of all sho hud dono for Mrs. Uarmun; bo had never been what is tonned a benevolent man, yot it was not from a lack of heart, and when Isabel showed a disposition to bo ^unselfish and helpful to others be fell in lino heartily and cheerfully. , The first Mrs. Falconer had been a ijlilot little woman who did not allow her rh:ht hand to know what her left hand did, and having a fortune of hor own, sho dispensed her charities silently, and Mr. Falconer hud no opportunity of entering into theimbut Isabel, who had never been accustomed to the lavish use of money^could not use his purse for tho benefit of others, howeter freely offered, without his knowledge and co-operaiion, and so wilh her his benevo-lent instincts wore brought out and culti-vated to their mutual profit and plcasuro.

Mrs. Colonel De Lonj? nnd Mrs. Dwight 'continued to be Isabel's most Intlmato friends, though sho had now many cullers and passing acquaintances, and these ladion took up Lottie and made a (treat deal of tho patient little girl, bringing her fruits, fiow-ers and books lavishly.

" I do wish," said Mrs. Dwlght one day 'as she sat on the lounge in Lottie's room, "that 1 knew of some 0110 whoui I could get .to crochet mo one of those delicate shawls 'Which are being worn so much. '

" Let mo do it, Mrs. Dwlght," said Lottie, 'eagerly. "Time hangs heavy on my hands, and I would be so glad to have something with which to busy myself."

"The very thing," answered Mrs. Dwlght; .."and 1 can assure you, Jlias Ford, that if •yon c a n do such work you will find plenty Of It, for we unfortunate ladies, who are martyrs to society, have very Uttle timo for tancywork."

"Lottie will be only too hap^y, I am sure," said Isabel, "for sho Is such an alarmingly

•Induitrlous person that she is positively miserable unless her hands are busy." She well knew this opportunity of .earning

• would do much toward making Lottie con-tented and cheerful. It was a happy sug-gestion, and tho ladles kept her busy from that time, nnd Lottlo waa perfectly happy as hor nimble fingers wrought dainty, beau-tiful things with tho ivory hook and soft wools, and better still, her plaintively lean pocket-book began to grow plump and round with tho results of her labor.

"If I can only buy moiher a nice black dress for Chrlslmas, aud father tho largo print Bible ho has needed BO long, I shall be so happy," said Lottie.

• _ Tho fever sore was slowly yielding to Dr. [Conroy's skillful treatment and Lottie could walk much moro easily than at first

" I do bellovo that Dr. Conroy is beginning .to take a moro than prufessionul interest in 'Lottie," said Isabel one day, 'As she and Mr.

^TTell,! havi^"" he answered', gayly. "I t B^ems tbe most natural thing in life that yon should bo here by my side, and as if I had known you always. Bytbo way, we have cards to k brilliant recejftion at Mrs. Belmond's next Week; I suppose it Is to be onoof the social evenu of the season."

"Shall wo gol'* " I think so," Ifc replied; "the cream of

thn hify will bo there, and some whom I should like to have you meet. 1 should not llko tb have my wife eclipsed In the lino of dress," he added, after a pause.

"Which remark indicates another visit to Mme. Morand, I suppose," she said, quickly. "Whatan advantage you gentle-men have over ua ladies. When you con-template a festivity you are not obliged to rack your brains for a nttw design in broadcloth."

"Th6n you do not consider the posses-sion ot fine clothing tho chief aim m life."

" I d o not," she answered emphatically. "To bd sure thero is a certain pleasure in selecting beautiful m itcriais nnd having them Vnade up artistically and well, but in the abstract, how foolish It seems to have a dozen dresses, where two or three would answer every purpose."

" Looking at things in tho abstract, my dear, there aro a great many queer things In life—the unequal distribution of wealth, for instance. While you aro sighing over tho necessity of getting up a new costume which you do not need, your poor neighbor may bo shedding real tears of distress over the lack of means to get tho one dress which slie does need pitifully, nnd so tho world goes. In the abstract, tho 'all things in common' rule, practised In New Testament times. Is tho true one, but in actual expen-enoe, in our tlmo of hurry nnd greed. It would produce a worse muddle than wo have now."

"Tho requirements of fashion aro another abstract nuisance," said Isabel, laughing, "hseems such utter nonsense that I must put enough rich material to trim my poor neighbor's dress lavishly into a bungling, unnecessary train, which serves no pur-pose whatever except to get in the way and trip upawkward gentlemen."

"There Is one fashionable folly which I hope my wife will never give up to,' he said, gravely. " I notice with pleasure that you bave not as yet appeared in public witb bared neck and arms."

She blushed rosily. "Pray dd not think, Mr. Falconer, thai I could bo so lost to all sense of delicacy as to appear1 in a pro-miscuous crowd of people dressed In such a manner. I assure you I blush for my sex when I seo such exhibitions, and I believe it Is nt the bottom faf a great deal of the laxness and Immordlity to bo found in our fashionable life."

"I do not doubt it," ho replied, heartily. " I believe many a scandal in high life may be traced to this unwomanly folly for Its origin, and it ought never to be seen out-side of tho slums or variety theaters; shamelessness is to be expected there."

"I am glad you agree with me," said Isabel, "and I wish you wouid carry your good taste a little farther, and tell me what to purchase for this occasion."

"Blnco you speak of it, I noticed a pieeo of velvet brocade in a delicate shade of l-tvender gray, at Ilongs, which I t hought at tho t ine wouid make up beautifully."'

A lltilo kindergarten outflt had been pro-cured for Gracle. and these were pfneed in Louie's room, nnd many happy hoars were s pen tt here by tho young leach •rand hei* li -tie punil, who never wearied of tho pretty contrivances by which sho was learuiug the rudimonts of moro advanced Btudy.

Lottie had become much attached to the little girl, and her affection was fully re-ciprocated bv the uffectionato child, who de-lighted In waiting upon hor and takingtho steps Wli|ch still caused Loilio such pain anil weariness.

They wore engaged with the simplo les-sons when Isabel returned from h r ride, and Gracie was bending over her little desk enguged In a problem In addition wrought by means of pegs stuck in tlie holes of a gaily painted board.

"What a studious pair we are," said IsabL-l, coming in with ruddy cheeks from tho broclDff October uir.

"Mamma, there has been a man iu our room while you were feone," said Gracie, looking up from her Work gleefully; tho home room wns spoken of as oar room be-cause each felt an ownership In it.

"A man/" replied Isabel, In some sur-prise; "what an uu heard-of proceeding."

"You had belter investigate the matter," said Lottie, demurely, and Isabel, in obe-dience to the hint, rose aud went in at once.

Mr. Falconer was there before her, ami banging upon the wall In the best light tho room afforded was a picture, tiio exact coun-terpart of tho ouochoson for Ka'ph and Lilly, and tho first offering which had been made to the home shrino since it had been establiBhod.

"Pardon me fur approaching personal topics, Mrs. Falconer," ho said, as he led her to ft quiet corner of the muslo room) where they could converse freely. " I sought this introduction, because the locket you wear has made me iefy curious to know moro faf you. It is tho exact counterpart of one Worn by a dear friend of miao, and I am anxious to know how it came in your possession."

"Major Carrington," sho said, her heart boating lumultuously, " I have worn tho locket In the hone that It might lend to the discovery of my fami.y,"' and she unclasped the trinket from her neck und laid It in

his hand; he opened it, starting as tbe familiar faces within met his eye.

"Who are you?" he cried. In agitation, "and how came you by this?"'

" I tons Isabel Carrington," looking up at him with eyes moist with her emotion, "and tho pictures aro of my father and mother; and you. Major Carrington I"

"If what you say is true I am your uncle, my dear," he replied, more composedly and looking searehingly In hor face; " you aro very liko your father, ray brother."

"Oh, tell mo of my father I" she cried, earnestly, a sweet hopo springing up In her heart at tho words. "IS ho living!"

"Yes, ho Is living," he replied, slowly and doubt fully.

"And I shall see him I" She clasped her hands In grateful emotion. "Oh, I am so happy 1"

"Yes, you will see him; but, my dear child, why do you not. inquire why you have been left all these years, unclaimed und ap-parently uncared fori"

"I have but recently come to tho knowl-edge of who iny family were," sho replied, simply, "and I hnvo laid our separation to tbe fortunes of war."

"Yes, too true; the sad, sad fortunes of war," with a tone of r gretful sorrow. "When my brother came South and joined tho army I only saw him once for a few

He mentioned tho name of tho village, but. in tho exclte-luentof meeting him, it slipped my mind en-tirely, und I could never recall It or the name of tho woman with whom you were left.

"A licrco battle occurred soon after, and your fi-.ther was terribly wounded, was taken off tho field among the dead, in fact, but afterward revived nnd wis sent to the hospital, and after a wonderfully critical operation in trepanning, ho recovered slow-ly, but his memory of past events was utterly gone, imd ho has no memory save Of tho Immediate present."

'•Then ho will not know mo." she cried, in a pained voice. "Oh, this is sad, so slid 1 1 had hoped nnd dreamed that I might yet know a father's love," nnd sho covered her face wilh her hands..

'•Let us hope for tho best, my dour niece," he said, kindly and encouragingly; "who knows buo yours may bo tho hand which will lift tho vail frum tho past, und bring back his memory I"

"God grant that It may," sho said, fervent-ly. " I will bo tu him ull that a loving daughter can be."

"I am sure of it; nnd how toll mo of your-self; of course, Nurse Chloo is uot living. Clio was old when she wont North, and the cllmato is not favorable to tho Southern born."

"Sho died soon after my mother," replied Isabel. "Mrs. Harmon, with whom my faiher loft me and whom I always supposed to be my aunt until latoly, told mo that she pined und mourned for my mother aud the family nut il her death."

"AllI poor soul; she was a faithful creature; but why did this Mrs. Harmon conceal the facts of your birth from youl" asked Major Carrington, a little jealously.

^Because sho loved me," replied Isabel. qulcklyi ' and as sho became very poor she foared that I woujd be bnhappy and dlscon-

The incldcnt'soon bccaino known through the rooms, as Major ("arrington left his new-found friends and mingled with the crov-d again, cud Isabel was met by tbe sincere congratulations of such of her friends as know hor story, und if there had bd n any lingerifg doubts nsto hor position in society, they were removed now, us Major Curring-ton's nunc was a passport into any s iclety, nnd being publicly announced as his niece removed tho last straw iu the way of hor social success.

"You will spend tho remainder of your tune in the city nt our home, will you noil" said Isabel, ns sho bade her uncle good night. "I havo so many inquiries to make."

"I Ic ve to-morrow ni^ht," l:o replied, cordially, "and 1 wilt g adly spend a part of tho day with you. I, too, wish to know more of you and yours."

"Oh, Lottie!" cried Isabel, engerlv, »« she wentlnto her friend's room in tho morn-ing, " I havo found them;"

"Found whom!" said Lottlo, whoso Ideas did not ut once climb np to the stupendous reality.

"Why, I met my undo last evening at Mrs. Belmond's, dearie. Isn't thatgrandl'.' and sho went on to give a detailed account of hor meeting with M ijor Carrington.

" I t i s indeed delightful," replied Lottie, gladly, embracing Isabel In her joyful sym-pathy, "and to find that your father is alive, too."

"His condition is the one drop of sadness in my cup of joy," said Isabel, sighing; "but at any rate, it will be a delight to m.a-Ister to his declining years, lor of course I shall bopo to have him spend a portion, at least, of his time with me."

"And you will-go there, of bourse?" "Yes, l a m very linpaiieatto seo my fam-

Sigmund Leavlck, of Denver, for-merly of Springfield. Ohio, was a sur-prised man last week when he learned that a scrubwoman In Springfield, known only as "Irish Mary," whom nobody supposed to be worth a dollar, had died and left him $75,000. I t seemed that seventeen years ago Mr. L.

The free silver cause has found ex-pression through the medium of the drama. The man who has had tho cour-age to put his arguments upon the stage is Mr. Fitzgerald Murphy, who has hitherto written along conventional lines. His piny is called "The Silver Lining."

The play was first produced at the Chicago opera house some weeks ago, and created something of a sensation, the theater being packed to the doors the last three nights of the engage-ment, when it had become known that a most daring play had been brought out.

Mr. Murphy acknowledges "Coin's Fi-nancial School" as the basis of his play, and on tho opening night Mr. Harvey, the author of that remarkable work, wns called upon, ns he sat in the box. to say something about the relation of the play to his theories, and he de-clared that tho drama represented the spirit of "Coin" "most magnificently." and believed that its influence upon the silver cause would be great.

Mr. Murphy Is a young Irishman who made play writing an avocation, when his vocation was the newspaper profes-sion. He was for a time on the staff of the New York World. He is a nervous, energetic young man. an enthuBiafitic silverlte, and believes that, although his play treats of current politics. It will nevertheless be a great success. When asked how he became Interested in the silver question as a basis for a play, Mr. Murphy replied:

"Through instinct, I suppose. I no-ticed that those who uphold the single gold standard are mostly bankers, beneflclarles of the big trusts, stock-holders of the big insurance companies, bondholders and mortgage sharks—all money lenders, non-producers, who live on the money created by the wealth producer, the laborer. I had nothing in common with them. The men who fa-vor free silver are mostly of my own stripe—men who work for a living. 1 never earned a dollar for which I did not give an equivalent The laborers' struggles and aspirations are my own. As a dramatist I consider the heart-aches of humanity my best material. The producers favor free silver, and 1 am Instinctively with them.

"But my aggressive Interest is a rr-fcult not only of my Instinctive prefer-ence, but of a scientific investigation of the subject. A year ago 1 owned a weekly newspaper out In Los Angeles. When the seigniorage bill had passed both branches of congress, thanks to that grand son of Missouri, 'Dick' Bland, and was vetoed by that arch gold monometallist Grover Cleveland, I studied the money question so as to be able to Intelligently discuss the ques-tion editorially. I read John Stuart Mill, David Ricardo, General Francis A. Walker's 'Money' and the magnifi-cent speeches of Senators John P. Jones and W. M. Stewart and Representative W. J. Bryan, the last named being a prototype of my hero."

"Did you read Secretary Carlisle's si'ver speech?"

"Yes," said Mr. Murphy, "and he Is

modltlcs.' The first picture rcpresenlB a pronpemuH looking, sleek capitalist, and the other a poor, poverty-strickcn farmer, sadly looking at a notlcc of shorlff's sale on his fence. Those two little pictures suggested the foundation for an American social play, showing the conflict between the money lender and the money producer. 1 believe tbe stage should be ns powerful a factor In the education of the public as the pul-pit, the newspaper or general litera-ture. In my play I treat tho silver question simply as a moral proposition —a question of Justice in our commer-cial relations. The money question can be easily reduced to a few simple truths. If you limit the supply of money It becomes dear. Increases Us purchasing power over wealth-produc-ing labor and commodities. Measured by tho accepted standard-gold—prices fall, and when they fall money in-creases In value, can buy more, and tlie owners of money enrich themselves cor-respondingly. When the producer Is exchanging his property for that money he must give up more, for Just as money appreciates in value, prices decrease in an adverse ratio. The material of which money Is made is no more a standard of value than Is the material of which a clock is made a standard of time. The money lenders of the world have cornered the gold, and havo slicceeded In having a law enacted to prevent our using silver as fundament-al money of redemption whereby we can break that corner. The single gold standard Js slowly and Insidiously un-dermining our American independence. The gold standard newspapers of Chi-cago have ridiculed my play and abused me; but ridicule and abuse aro not ar-guments. I expect no quarter from gold standard newspapers, and I give no quarter. In 'The Silver Lining' I show how certain of the gold papers

Old I'aptlen Unite In K I U I M M .

The republican nnd democratic com-mittees In Seward county, Kan., have united in a call for a Joint convention. They declare this stop to be necessary in order to defeat the populists. I t is reported that the same combination of the two wings of the plutocratic party will take place In other parts of Kan-sas. This Is the natural course of events. Whenever and wherever the populist party gets strong enough to carry a state then and there the old parties will unite to defeat them, for this reason: There is absolutely no difference of principle or policy be-tween the two old parties. They are both run and controlled In the inter-ests of the bankers and monopolists. As long as the plutocrats can keep the people divided, half and half in the old parties, they will not care much which one of the two wings of their political party Is elected. But the moment a party like the populist, which differs radically in principle and policy from the other two, and Is In the Interest of the people, as against the monopo-lists. arises, then If the money power cannot beat them with the two wings of Us party separately It will combine them Just as it did against the Knights of Labor ticket with Henry George a t its head in New York in 1886, and Just as it has done in scores of other cities against the Knights of Labor when they develop strength enough to carry an election. This is a good object lesson for the voters In those states where the two old parties are i ill separated. The democratic workingman who is now fighting the democrats must see from this thai It is only a question of time when his masters will force him into the same camp of the party he Is now fighting. Workingmen, shake off your slavery to the old party bosses and march out Into political liberty.

A Half-Civlllzed Country. Col. I. W. Avery, who has lately made

a tour of South American countries, talks very interestingly of his observa-tions of the monetary system of the powers visited by him. In Uruguay, according to Col. Avery, where silver under ten dollars Is the Issue, a coun-try that does not coin a dollar in gold, he was surprised and humiliated by having his United States gold discount-ed four cents on the dollar. The same holds good with English gold.

There is food for thought in this. Uru-guay, a small South American power. Just says that her money shall pass current, and it goes. Yet Uruguay has no gold. Her paper Issue Is considered so much better than gold that she dis-counts the metal without regard whether It bears the stamp of the United States, England or France, four cents on the dollar.

This is a nut for the "sound money" theorists who want a dollar that will be a dollar all over the world, to crack. Gold was not worth a dollar In Uru-guayan paper money in Uruguay. Why this outrage?

Why can't the United States, the richest power on earth, make its own standard of value? We can. if we w?ll. The only way to do a thing Is to do I t

ITH mottled horses at full speed, for he was celebrated for fast driving, Jehu, the warrior and king, returns from battle. But seeing Jehonadab, an acquaintance, by the wayside, he shouts, "W h o a ! whoa!" to the lath-

ered span. Then leaning over to Jeho-nadab, Jehu salutes him In the words of the text—words not more appropriate for that hour and that place, thaa A', this hour and place: "Is thine heart right?"

I should like to hear of your physical health. Well myself, I like to have everybody else well; and so might ask, is your eyesight right, your hearing right, your nerves right, your lungs r i g h t your entire body right? But I am busy to-day taking diagnosis of the more important spiritual conditions. I should like to hear of your financial wel-fare. I want everybody to have plenty of money, ample apparel, large store-house, and comfortable reslder«ce; and I might ask. Is your business right, your Income right, your worldly surround-ings right? But what aro these financial questions compared with the Inquiry as to whether you have been able to pay your debts to God: as to whether you aro insured for eternity; as to whether you are ruining yourself by the long-credit system of the soul? I have known men to have no moro than one loaf of bread at a time, and, yet to own a government bond of heaven worth more than tho whole material universe.

The question I ask you to-day is not in regard to your habits. I make no Inquiry about your integrity, or your chaatlty, or your sobriety. I do not mean to stand on the outside of the gate and ring the bell; but coming up the steps, I open the door and come to the private apartment of the soul; and with the earnestness of a man that must give an account for this day's work, I cry o u t O man, O woman. Im-mortal, Is thlrie heart right?

I will not insult you by an argument to prove that we are by nature all wrong. If there be a factory explosion and the smokestack be upset and the wheels be broken In two, and the en-gine unjolnted, and the ponderous bars be twisted, and a man should look in and ray that nothing waa the matter, you would pronounce him a fool. Well, It needs no acumen to discover that our natnre Is all atwlst and askow and unjolnted. The thing doesn't work r igh t The biggest trouble we have In the world is with our aouls. Men some-times say that, though their lives may not be Just r i g h t their heart is all r i g h t Impossible. A farmer never puts the poorest apples on top of his barrel; nor does the merchant place the mean-est goods in his ahow window. The best part of us Is our outward life. I do not stop to discuss whether we all fell In Adam, for we have been our own Adam, and have all eaten of the forbidden f r u i t and have been turned out of the paradise of holiness and peace; and though the flaming sword that stood a t the gate to keep us out has changed position and comes behind to drive us In, we will not go.

The Bible account of us Is not ex-aggerated when It says that we are poor and wretched and miserable and blind and naked. Poor: the wretch that stands shivering on our doorstep on a cold day is not so much in need of bread as we are of spiritual help. Blind; why, the man whose eyes perished In the powder b las t and who for these ten years has gone feeling his way from street to street, is not In such utter darkness as we. Naked: why, there Is, not one rag of holiness left to hide the shame of our sin. Sick: why, the lep-rosy has eaten into the head and the heart and the hands and the feet; and the marasmus ot an everlasting wasting away has aleady seized on some of us.

But the meanest thing for a man to do is to discourse about an evil without pointing a way to have it remedied. I speak of the thirst of your hot tongue, only that I may show you the living stream that drops crystalline and spark-ling from the Rock ot Ages, and pours a river ot gladness a t your tee t I t I show you the rents In your coa t it is oniy because tbe door ot God's ward-robe now swings open, and here is a robe, white with tbe fleece of the Lamb of God, and of a cut and make that an angel would not be affcamed to wear. If I snatch from you the black, mouldy bread that you are munching, it is only to give you the bread made out of the finest wheat that grows on the celestial hills, and baked In the fires ot the Cross; and one crumb ot which would be enough to make all heaven a banquet Hear I t one and all, aod tell it to your friends when you go home, that the Lord Jesus Christ can make the heart r i g h t

First we need a repenting h e a r t If for the last ten, twenty, or forty years of life, we have been going on in tbe wrong way. It is time that we turned around and started in the opposlta di-rection. It we offend our friends we are glad to apologize. God is our best friend, and yet how many of us have never apologized tor the wrongs we have(done him!

There Is nothing that we so mnch need tb get rid of as stn. I t is a horri-ble black monster. I t polluted Bden. I t klfled Chris t It has btested the world. Men keep dogs in kennels, and rabbits In a warren, and cattle in a pen. What a man that would be who wonld

Turn out tho beasts and let Christ como In! A heathen came to an early Christian, who had the reputation of curing diseases. Tho Christian said. "You must have all your Idols de-stroyed." The heathen gave to the Christian the key to his house, that he might go In and destroy the Idols. Ho battered to pieces all he saw. but still the man did not get well. The Chris-tian said to him. "There must be some Idol in your house not yet destroyed." The heathen confessed that thero was one Idol of beaten gold that he could not bear to give up. After awhile, when that was destroyed. In answer to the prayer ot the Christian, tho sick man got well.

Many a man has awakened In hla • W - to find his sluij all about

him. They clambered up on the right side of the bed, and on thri left side, and over the head-board, and over the foot-board, and horribly devoured the soul. Repent! the voice celestial cries,

Nor longor dare delay; The wretch that scorns the mandate

dies. And meets a fiery day. Again, we need a believing heart. A

good many years ago a weary one went up one of the hills of Asia Minor, and with two logs on his back cried out to all the world, offering to carry their sins and sorrows. Thoy pursued him. They slapped him In the face. They mocked blm. When he groaned they groaned. They shook their fiats at him. They spat on him. They hound-ed him as though he were a wild beast. His heallUL' of the sick, his slght-glv-Ing to the blind, his mercy to the out-cas t silenced not the revenge of the world. His prayers and benedictions were lost In that whirlwind of execra-tion: "Away with him! Away with him!"

Ah! It was not merely the two pieces ot wood that he carried; It was the transgressions of the race, the anguish ot the ages, the wrath of God, the sor-rows of hell, the stupendous interests ot an unending eternity. No wonder his back ben t No wonder the blood started from every pore. No wonder that he crouched under a torture that made the sun faint, and the everlasting hills tremble, and the dead rush up In their wlnliug-sheets as he cried: "If It be possible, let this cup pass from me." But the cup did not pass. None to comfort

There he hangs! What has that hand done that It should be thus crushed In the palm? It has been heal-ing the lame and wiping away tears. What has that foot been doing that It ahould be so lacerated? It has been going about doing good. Of what has the victim been guilty? Guilty of sav ing a world. Tell me. ye heavens and earth, was there ever such another criminal? Was there ever such a crime? On that bill ot carnage, that sunless day. amid those howling riot-ers, may not your sins and mine have perished? I believe i t Oh. the ran-som has been paid. Those arms of Je-sus were stretched out so wide, that when he brought them together again they might embrace the world. Oh. that I might, out ot the blossoms ot the spring, or the flaming foliage of the autumn, make one wreath tor my Lord! Oh, that all the triumphal arches of the world could be swung in one gateway, where the King of Glory might come In! Oh, that all the harps and trum-pets and . organs ot earthly music might, in one anthem, speak his praise!

But what were earthly flowers to him who walketh amid the snow ot the white lilies ot heaven? What were arches ot early masonary to him who hath about his throne a rainbow spun out of everlasting sunshine? What were all earthly music to him when the hundred and forty and four thousand on one side, and cherubim and sera-phim and archangels stand on the other side, and all the space between Is filled with the doxologlcs of eternal Jubilee— the hosanna ot a redeemed earth, the hallelujah ot unfallen angels, song af-ter song rising about the throne ot God and ot the Lamb? In that pure, high place, let him hear us. Stop! harps of heaven, that our poor cry may bo heard. Oh, my Lord Jesus! it will not hurt thee tor one hour to step out from the shin-ing throng. They will make It all up when thou goest back again. Come hither. O blessed One. tha t we may kiss thy f ee t Our hearts, too long with-held, we now surrender Into thy keep-ing. When thou goest back tell it to all tbe immortals that the lost are found, and let the Father 's house r ing with the music and the dance.

They have some old wine in heaven, not used except in rare festivities. In this world, those who are accustomed to use wine on great occasions bring out the beverage and say. "This wine is thirty y e a n old." or "forty years old." But tho wine ot heaven Is more than eighteen centuries old. It was pre-pared at the time when Christ trod the wine press alone. When such grievous sinners as we come back, me-thlnks the chamberlain ot heaven cries out to the servants. "This Is unusual Joy! Bring op from the vaults of heav-en that old wine. Fill all the tankards. Let all the whl twobed guests drink to the Immortal health of those new-born sons and daughters of the Lord Al-mighty." "There Is Joy In heaven among the angels of God over one sin-ner that repenteth;" and God grant that that one may be you!

Again, to have a r ight heart It must be a forgiving hea r t An old writer says, "To return good for evil is God-like; good for good is man-like; evil for good devil-like." Which of these na-tures have we? Christ will havo noth-ing to do with us as lo t* as we keep

m y old grudge. We have all been cheated and lied about There are peo-ple who dislike us so much that if wo should come down to puveily and die grace, they would say, "Good for hlmf Didn't I toll you so?" They do not un-derstand Us. Unsanctllled human na-ture says, "Walt till you got a good crack at him. and when at last you find him In a tight place, give It to him. Flay him alive. No quarter. Leave not a rag of reputation. Jump on h im with both feet. Pay him In his own coin—sarcasm for sarcasm, scorn for scorn, abuse for abuse." But. my friends, that it not the right kind of heart. No man ever did so mean a thing toward us wo have done toward God. And If we cannot forglvo others, how can we expect God to forgive UB? Thousands of men havo been kept out of heaven by an unforgiving hea r t

Here Is some one who says, " I will for -give that man the wrong he did m o about that house and lot; I will forgive that man who overreached ma In a bargain; I will forgive that man who-sold mo a shoddy overcoat; I forgive them—all but one. That man I cannot forgive. The villain—I can hardly keep my hands off him. If my golnp to heaven depends on my forgiving him, then I will stay out." Wrong feel-ing. If a man He to me once, I am not called to trust him again. If a man be-tray me once, I am not called to put confidence In him again; «»•» T would have no rest If 1 could not offer a sin-cere prayer for the temporal and ever-lasting welfare of all men. whatever meanness and outrage they have in-flicted upon me. If you want to get your heart right, strike a match and burn up all your old grudges, and blow the ashes away." "If you forgive not men tholr trespasses, neither will your heavenly Father forgive you your tres-passes."

An old Christian black woman was going along the streets of New York with a basket of apples that she had for sale. A rough sailor ran against her and upset tbe basket, and stood back expecting to hear her scold fright-fully. but she stooped down and picked up tho apples, and said. "God forgive you. my son. as I do." The sailor saw the meanness of what he bad dono, and felt In his pocket for his money, and Insisted that she should take It all. Though she was black, he called her mother, and said. "Forgive me, mother, I will never do anything so mean again." Ah! thero is a power In a for-giving spirit to overcome all hardness. There is no way of conquering men liko that of bestowing upon them your par-don, whether they will accept It or n o t

Is thy heart right? What question can compare with this in importance? It is a business question. Do you not realize that you will soon have to go out of that store, that you will soon have to resign that partnership, that soon among all tho millions of dollars worth of goods that are sold, you will not have the handling of a yard of cloth, or a pound of sugar, or a penny worth of anything; that soon, it a con-flagration should start at Central Park and sweep everything to the Battery, It would not disturb you; that soon, it every cashier should abscond, and every Insurance company Hhould fall. It would not affect you? What aro the questions that stop this side the grave, compared with the questions tha t reach beyond It? Are you making losses that are to be everlasting? Are you making purchases for eternity? Are you Jobbing for time when you might be wholesaling for eternity? What question of the store Is so broad a t the base, and so altltudlnous, and so overwhelming as the question, "Is thy heart r ight?"

Or Is It a domestic question? Is It something about father, or mother, or companion, or son, or daughter, that you think Is comparable with this ques-tion In Importance? Do you not realize that by universal and Inexorable law all these relations will be broken up? Your father will be gone, your mother will be gone, your companion will be gone, your child will be gone, you will be gone, and then this supernal question will begin to harvest Us chief gains, or deplore Us worst losses, roll up Into Us mightiest magni-tude, or sweep Its vast circles. What difference now does it make to Napo-leon III. whether he triumphed or sur-rendered at Sedan? whether he lived a t the Tuilerles or at Chlslehurst. wheth-er he was emperor or exile? They laid him out in his coffin In the dress of a field marshal. Did that give him any better chance for the next world than It he had been laid out in a plain shroud? And soon to us what will be the difference, whether In this world we rode or walked, were bowed to or maltreated, were applauded or hissed at, were welcomed In or kicked out, while laying hold ot every moment ot the great future, and burning in all th* splendor or grief..and overarching and undergoing all time and all eternity, i i the plain, simple, practical, thrilling, agonizing, overwhelming question, "Is thy heart r ight?" Havo you within you a repentant heart, an expectant heart? It not. I must write upon your soul what George Whltefleld wrote up-on the window pane with his diamond ring. He tarried In ao elegant house over night, but found that there was no God recognized in that house. Be-fore he left his room In the morning, with his r ing he wrote upon the win-dow pane, "One thing thou lackest" After the guest was gone, the house-wife came and looked at the window, and saw the Inscription, and called her husband and her children; and God. through that ministry of the window-glass. brought them all to Jesus. Though you may to-day be surrounded by comforts and luxuries, and feel that you have need of nothing, if you are not the children of Got', with the signet ring of Christ 's love, let me Inscribe up-on your souls.

CHAPTER III - fCoimxosn) . "Ton will not have failed to observe,"

tie began, "that our past attempts— aiow five In number—have all practi-cally owed their failure to one nnd the flame cause. We have not hitherto recognized which Is the stronger and which the weaker of tbe two barriers tha t confine tbe object of our devotion. Because there are but two cruisers guarding the seaboard of S t Helena, while a continuous cordon of armed flentlnels is posted around Longwood House, another a t the confines of the domain, and yet a third along the coast, we have made the mistake ot suppos-ing that our chief difficulties would meet us on land. But experience has •hown that by relying on tbe corruption of servants and the stupidity of Ben» tries the path to the shore can always be made smooth. The really Insur-mountable obstacle has hitherto been the vigilance of the English men-of-war. They are. as you know, warned of the approach of a vessel by signal from tho lookout on the peak, which has a prospect of over twenty leagues. Cruising, one to windward, one to lee-ward, tbey allow no ship to enter the roads without being searched; no one to land without permission from the admiral; and even af ter dark their Ruardboats, pulling round the Island all nlRht. prevent any communication with the shore.

"A prisoner, then, who has gained the landing-stage, is none tbe less a prisoner still, for he can by no possi-bility succeed In passing over the half-league of water which separates him from the vessel waiting to bear him away to freedom."

M. Carnac sighed again. "It 's quite true." said Mr. Holmes; "I found that out myself."

"Say rather that you sent others to risk their necks In finding it out for you." growled tho count

The colonel hastened to divert their attention from each other. "Fortu-nately." he continued, "an inspiration came to me."

Camilla glanced quickly up In aston-ishment; and he went on rapidly, as if to retrieve a false step. "An Inspira-tion from a source not unknown to you. Madame de Montaut. who has spoken with so much eloquence to-night, was in fact the first to suggest that It might be possible to pass under that which we could not pass over."

The three visitors stared and were dumb. Camilla looked anxiously a t their faces to gather their probable opinion.

"Yes." said the colonel, "a submarine boat is what Is needed: and if the Idea was another's. I m ty a t least claim that the execution of It has been mine."

"Execution?" asked Holmes, with transparent Jealousy. "What do you mean? The thing's Impracticable!"

"Ob! It Is a poor machine." said the colonel, with great deference, "and not in any way one sucr as you. Mr. Holmes, would havo been able to de-sign: but I think it will serve its pur-pose. and that Is enough."

M. Carnac shook his head. "I hope it may," he said, despondently.

"This," said the colonel, unfolding a drawing and holding It up. "is a sketch of the boat. It Is eight feet wide, seven deep, and sixty-five long, and is made in a number of separate parts, each capable of being concealed in a hogs-head cask. The whole can be put to-gether in two hourB."

"Good I" cried the count, with a side glance a t Holmes. "Most ingenious! And how do you propose to use it?"

"Only as an auxiliary, of course," re-plied M, de Montaut,. "for its effective range le very limited. I t is sunk by admitting water into tanks a t the two ends, and •raised by pumping It out agart . "The propelling power consists of two broad paddles worked from In-side by hand, and moving much like the fins ot a flab. The shape of the boat, as you see. is not unlike that of an ordinary canal barge, with water-tight ends, and with the central apace covered in by an oblong erection, hav-ing panes of glass in the front and sides for purposes of steering, and at the top a hatch or trap-door for ingress and egress."

"II will be very laborious to work," said the count.

"Precisely," said the colonel; "and I propose therefore to use it only as f a r as it is absolutely necessary. My Idea is this: A merchant-vessel will arrive off Jamestown, S t Helena, on a day already appointed, and will obtain per-mission to anchor In the roads, but of course outside the circle patrolled by the guard-boats. As soon aa it ia dark the submarine boat will be fitted to-gether and launched under the charge of a skilled and resolute seaman. He will make the passage to and from the shore under water, and when once he bas brought the Emperor on board our vessel, tbe submarine boat may be sunk and abandoned, and we can make sail to r Europe without a moment's delay."

M. Carnac,was an old man. aod con-etituUonaltr timid; the novelty of the Idea was alone sufficient to startle htm.

Mr. Holmes waa the Emperor's ac-credited agent in England, and could r o t brook that another should take the lead In so Important a matter.

The co mt was the boldest and most •nergetlc of the three, and the one most attracted by the scheme; but he knew little or nothing of the sea, and waa, besides, already under suspicion on ac-count of a previous abortive a t tempt 2n th* event of another failure he world undoubtedly suffer tbe extreme penalty at the handa of hla enemiea.

The colonel, wbo knew them all, had

BY HENRY Ht-moLT

no dlfficu? y In rending their intentions —or at any rate their inclinations— upon their faces; but he waa not with-out hope of gaining from them what mraaure of support was absolutely necessary to bis plan.

"I am both flattered nnd strength-ened." he said, addressing them all. "by your klrfTl approval; the more so as our share In originating this scheme is but small compared with the assistance which I hope to recclve from you. who will thus earn the larger part of the glory and rewards which attend success.

"Prom Mr. Holmes, to whose bonor and Judgment have been committed the vast funds of the Imperial house, I shall hope to receive a grant of a sum of money to defray the expense of the expedition, which, however large, will be Inconsiderable when weighed against the magnitude of the result.

"M. le Comte, who has been endowed by nature with the strength and cour-age of a hero, will, I trust, think those qualities worthily employed in the serv-ice of one who appreciates them so high-ly. I look to him to work the submarine boat, which will be famous in history, and in which he will receive the first greeting from the Emperor In freedom.

"From you monsieur." he continued, turning to M. Carnac. who was await-ing hla turn In visible trepidation, "I shall ask a less dangerous but not less difficult service. Our pretended mer-chant-vessel must bo commanded by a captain of first-rate ability In seaman-ship. and of tact and resource sufficient to enable him to satisfy the Inquisi-tions of the British officer wbo will board the ship In the usual course on her arrival. You alone of us have still free access to France: you will, I am sure, find us such an officer among the neglected marine of the empire."

He had hoped to lessen the risk of refusal by asking them, in this way, for a simultaneous assent to his re-quests. but an embarrassing silence followed his appeal.

Camilla flushed angrily, and he hast-ened to anticipate her.

"Well. Mr. Holmes." he said, "may I rely on you. then, for my llttl» million?"

"No. you may not." returned Holmes, rudely. "It 's out of the question."

M. de Montaut persevered with patient suavity. "I understand." he Bald, "you have many calls upon you; we can perhaps supply a part from other sources. How much, then, is tbe most you can give us?"

"Nothing, for the present." was tbe reply; "possibly next year I may bave some small sum to spare."

"Next year!" cried Camilla, rising to her feet, and looking superbly down upon the little agent. "Before next year you will have lost your place; the Emperor leaves St. Helena on the 5th of May!" And she turned her back upon him.

The colonel looked at the other two. He saw that the count was wavering, and to give him time he turned to M. Carnac next.

"My dear friend," said the latter, "you have altogether mistaken my posltfon. I dare not return to Prance upon such an errand. I know none of the fmperlai marine, and your scheme, however ingenious, appears to my mind too unreasonably audacious for me to recommend any one to embark upon it."

"I am of the same opinion as M. Car-nac," added tbe count, hesitating no longer. "I would dare anything In reason, but this is a forlorn hope."

"Then, gentlemen," broke in Camilla, with a commanding gesture of dis-missal. "we have but to thank you for your attendance this evening, and to absolve you for the future. As for this paltry million." she added, turning to her brother-in-law, "I will see to t h a t You shall find our captain, and the ac-tive service we will take upon our-selves, if all the world turn craven!"

So saying she crossed tbe room and went out with a sweep of fine disdain.

The colonel, who recognized more clearly that his enterprise and all con-cerned In It were a t the mercy of those to whom be had committed his secret, remained behind to soothe the trampled feelings of the three discomfited gentle-men.

CHAPTER IV.

H E N D I C K awoke next morn-ing- the febrifuge bad done its work and he waa himself again. Uttle the worse for a pair of stiff shoulders and a few cuts «pon the head.

The surgeon — a wiry. sharp-eyed little man. of half

his stalwart patient's weight—rallied him upon his sensitiveness to pain In a tone of irony which brought the blood hotly back into his cheeks, and gave them onoe more the bronzed glow of health. Dick would havo given much to be able to explain the true cause of his agitated condition On the previous afternoon, but even bis business at the Admiralty, and Its result, seemrd a futile reason to offer for such weakneiii; especially to an inquisitor whose eyes were already twinkling with a sus-pioion of the truth behind.

So he turned the conversation by ask-ing whether be might go to bis rooms to-day.

"Oh yes, I dare say you might." was the reply; "but why hurry? You're comfortable here, aren't you?"

"H'm—m. pretty well." said Dick, with transparent affectation.

"Well, well," said tbe old man. "poor Madame do Montaut did her best, you know. But you may go." be continued, making for the door with a humorous pretense of bodily fear; "you may go to-day. but don't get overheated. a*id don't be out after sunset Good-by!" And he fled chuckling. »

Dick was left laughing and sweating to himflelf. "Con'ound it I why a m / l so

simple Every ensua* stranger can Ball round and round me. and stare into my galley windows!" But ho was only: half displeased. This littlo bout had warmed him nftor all. and ho felt thoj sanguine current of hope and active; thought running through hla brain Uke, a mill-race in the spring sun-light. He; had escaped tho dreaded good fortunei that had threatened him with imme-diate banishment, and he hod begun to llnd Ills bargain wilh Camilla even more profitable than he could have ventured to expect when bo made It.

It was not until close upon 3 o'clock that Camilla returned. However, when she did come, she came alone, and that was a consolation worth waiting for. She Joined Dick in the morning-room downstairs, and settled herself by the fire with perfect ease of manner. He felt that his confidence might forsake him if he waited, and af ter he had re-plied to her inquiries he took a plunge at once.

"Are you really Irish, and not French a t all?" he asked.

"Irish by birth," she replied; "French by breeding and adoption. Oh, It Is no secret," she went on, with a Bmlle, as Dick hesitated to press the Inquiry: "and I would gladly tell you all about It If I thought It could Interest you; but your sympathies He. as I told you. In another direction altogether."

"Everything Interests me that con-cerns you!" burst out Dick. "I am longing to hear more."

"It Is true that the more I tell you, the more completely you will acknowl-edge me to be In the right," she replied, "and that consideration would tempt a woman to even greater Imprudences than this."

She laughed and looked him frankly In the face. He felt that this was not an opportunity for sentiment, and caught gratefully at the camaraderie she offered him Instead.

"Good!" he said, smiling back a t her; "then I will abandon my sympathies and own you to be right; and It shall b® simply a story that you tell me. if you will." [

"Yes; but 1 shall claim one from you In return. And now listen. I was born," she began, "in the year 1796. in the county of Tipperary. My mother died when I was but a few weeks old. My father, Anthony Donoghue of Castle Carrol, was wrongfully suspected of being concerned In Wolfe Tone's con-spiracy. and when the rebellion broke out in '97 the Orangemen were upon him llko tigers. He took me—a child of less than a year—upon the saddle In front of him and rode for his life.

"He succeeded, after many narrow es-capes. In reaching Bantry Bay. where a number of patriots under Fitzgerald and O'Connor were met to receive Gen. Hoche and the French troops which he was bringing over at their Invitation. My father, who had previously held aloof, waa now tempted to Join them for the sake of revenge.

"He sent me over to Prance In charge of a deserter's wife, to whom he was al-so obliged to entrust the realized part of bis fortune and the Jewels which you have sometimes seen me wearing. She proved worthy of his confidence, and when he came to Paris after the final collapse of the rebellion he found both his daughter and hla diamonds safe in the house of Gen. Bonaparte himself, to whose protection I had been com-mended by a letter from Hoche.

" 'Ah!' said Napoleon, when my fath-er went to thank blm. 'here comes Meta-bus in search of his little Camilla.' I t appears that there Is a story In Virgil of a warrior pursued by bis enemies, and encumbered by tbe burden of an in-fant daughter named Camilla. Stopped In bis flight by a rapid stream, he binds the child to his spear, and with a prayer to Diana hurls her across, and himself swims the flood, to find her safe and sound upon the farther side. In grati-tude he vows her to the lifelong ser-vice of the goddess who has answered his prayer. It was to this adventure, then—which our own so much resembled —that Napoleon was referring.

"My father, who had all the wit of bis race, took up the allusion at once. •Prom this moment.' he said, 'she shall be called Camilla, and I dedicate her ti the great protector who has saved ua."

"Napoleon was pleased with the read-iness of the reply, and took him Into high 4\vor. He afterward gave him a high command In the Irish brigade, and heaped him with rewards. He remem-bered me. too, and after my father's death he married me to M. de Montaut, a gentleman of an ancient and wealthy house, and entirely devoted to the •m-perpr. In whose service he met an honor-able death Ui 1814. I was but 18 then, and I bave been an exile ever since, for neither my brotber-ln-law nor I have stooped to make our peace with the Bourbons.

BRAVE GIRLS.

Two Indancee That Left th« Qneatloa In Donbt.

The is an odd saying that one never knows a woman's true character till he sees her In a moment of danger—and seldom then, might well be added. A couple of young ladles were on top of the Mills building yesterday, says San Pranclsco Pos t One walked boldly to the very edge of the roof and gazed steadily Into the street below without tbe thrill of a nerve or the quiver ot a muscle. "Brave girl, t h a t " observed the signal officer. "Stout-hearted and fearless. She'll make some man a good wife. Huh! Look a t that other one." he exclaimed in disgust, as tbe stout-hearted girl's companion shrank back and cried hysterically;

"Oh. hold me! I want to Jump off!" "What a little fool!" said the signal

officer. "A baby to be petted. Wants to Jump off! You couldn't pull her off there with an ox team."

They wore Just starting down tbe nar-. row stairway when someone shouted:

"There's a mouse!" Tbe brave girl wbo bad stood nn-

ftinching at Mie edge of a high roof let out a wild scream and rolled to the bot-tom of the stairs, while her companion laughed till sbe was almost hysterical. , "Girls are all fools." declared tha cyn-

ical signal officer.

THE ENGLISH OF THE ENGLISH.

PecallnHiipa That Htrurk a Kecent Arnrrlran VIMlor.

Ono of tho first eermona tho specta-tor heard on landing In England was pruached ia Westmliifflnr Abbey. Tho InipresHiveness of tho Abbey sorvlco is. by the way, somewhat marred by the manner in which the crowd "crowds" the monuments, the women sitting on tho pedestals and the men hanging their hats on the arms or any other projoc-tions In sight. Tho preacher that even-ing was tho Very R«v. Dean of Ely. He gavo an excellent sermon on certain problems of modern thought, but all the way through bo pronounced evolu-tion' "e"-volutlon. The next evening tho spectator was the guest of a well-known London Journalist, a graduate of Cambridge, who also used the word evolution, pronouncing It also "e"-volu-tion. So odd a pronunciation might be set down, in tlie case of a Church of England clergyman, as one of those pul-pit peculiarities or affectations—at least so they sound—which those unaccus-tomed to them cannot escape noticing. This theory can hardly be stretched to apply to a layman, and a newspaper man at that, and so tlie spectator asked hiti host If "e"-volution was the ordi-nary English pronunciation. The latter replied that he had never heard any other. The spectator thought he had discovered a new Americanism. Con-sulting various dictionaries on bis re-turn, the spectator changed his mind. Not one of them gave "e"-volution as even a possible or alternate pronuncia-tion, not the Century, nor the Standard, nor even Stormonth. Indeed, the last authority went so far the other way as to give ev-olve aa the proper pronun-ciation of evolve. The spectator waa thus driven to the conclusion that the English are more Independent of dic-tionaries than the Americans are not constantly "looking up words" as wo are here.and accept the ordinary usage of the people with whom they associatee as authoritative, which would be a typi-cal British way of settling almost any question. An amusing bit of ar t slang came to the spectator's attention—waa. In fact, thrust upon him—at this year's exhibit of the Royal Academy. Tho one comment (whether of admiration or surprise) was the invariable phrase. "How very extr'ord'n'ry!" This was applied indiscriminately to any and every picture, from a bit of reaiistio flesh painting—usually, in Paris and London alike, the back of some reclin-ing woman with the reddish hair, which must 1)0 the latest fad with the realists —to one of Sargent's portraits, or a wonderful setting of many figures, such aa Alma-Tadema's "Spring." It was extraordinary how tiresome the con-stant repetition of that phrase became after a single day a t the Academy. But it was at the Royal Mews, the stables of Buckingham Palace, that the spec-tator had Impressed upon him how much Importance attaches to a proper discrimination in the use of English. The groom In attendance was a most Impressive person, so very Impressive from his cockade to his boota as to sat-isfy completely one's ideal of stateli-ness in even an humbler royal flunkey. And he '-lived up" to his iivery. His manner was dignity itself. Referring to the parade at Hyde Park the day be-fore. at which the spectator had been preoent, he asked the groom whether any royalties had been "out riding" there that afternoon. "Oh. no, sir." re-plied that functionary, with freezing sarcasm; "their Royal Highnesses and the ladies and gentlemen of the court 'ride' in the morning. They 'drive' in the afternoon." There may have been previous occasions in the spectator's ex-perience when he waa equally crushed by the sense of having used the wrong word In the presence of a critical au-thority; but he failed to recall them then, and he has failed to recall them since.

Among tho moulders at the works of the Michigan foundry company can be found Mr. Amos Muynard; he has lived in Battle Creek for over ten years, is honored and respected by all who know him; such is the man who makes this statement, he Bays: " I have had kidney trouble for years, and it has made my life miserable.
