they were as good friends as ever Yet
Tom had never revealed the secret OF
that afternoon, in which he had resolv>
ed toVbe better man, to her, or any
other human being.
He was waiting to reveal another
secret with it, SO one fine summer even
ing, while he and Nellie were seated
beneath the branches of the old beech
tree, he, told the story that had rested
like burden on his heart. +" 1t was
here that | resolved to live q better
life," he said in conclusion, "and here
| also offer you myself, which through
your influence was saved from eternal
infamy." A tear shone in Toms eye,
and Nellie's also glistened in the pale
moonlight as she gave her heart and
hand to the man she had tried to screen
from the burning sunbeams. All! 1t
was noble deed, and met with its re-
ward, for an immortal soul was saved
1t is little deed to speak kind
word to the erring one, or perform an
act of love, but the result may be as far
reaching as eternity, and cause the
deathless soul to rejoice for ever.

Tom Narston's Secret.


Tom Marstoa was Drunk-drunk as
poisonous whlskey ever made man
Like senseless log he lay under the
shadows of huge beach tree, thai
seemed to reach out its branches in
pity over the poor wretch. co screen
him from the burning rays Of the sum-
,mer sun. For two long. hours had the
senseless man been sleeping in this state
of beastly intoxieation and yet he
showed no signs of returning con-
sciousness- Many passer by had just
cast glance of pity or disgust upon
his besotted face, and then fastened
along. It was no uncommon sight to
them, for they had often seen the same
form stretched out by the roadside
before, sleeping off the effects of Jim
Rogers whiskey. Alas for poor Tom
and his widowed mother!
The sua had passed it's nooaday
mark and was Fastening rapidly to its
western retreat, when Nellie Harris
CHANGED TO stray along by the old
beach tree, where the PROSTATE form of
Tom Marston was still lying. She at
once recognized him, and was about to
turn away in disgust from the sad sight,
when she observed that the still hot
sunbeams were shining directly upon
his face Moved with ply, she quickly
broke a few branches from the tree,
quietly approached the sleeper, and
placed them In q position to shade his
face
"Poor Tom" she said half aloud,
yonr are breaking the heart of your
mother, and going to ruin at fearful
rate You might be noble man could
you let jim Rogers and all such false
friends alone. Oh it is too bad," and
with sad sigh she stole away, not
thinking that every word had been
heard and understood by Tom.
Nellie was out of sight before Tom
made movement. Then he placed
his hand upon his aching brow, and a
low moan escaped his pallid lips.
