They were sitting alone on Saturday
evening. Hester had got everything ready
for their departure bright and early
Monday morning. As she sat there, she
fell to wondering about viii. She had
not heard from him since she came to the
city. Somehow. he seemed to have drift.
ed out of her sphere of life. She couldn't
tell why perhaps because her sphere oil
life had changed SO. She wondered what
she should do when the money the pic.
ture had brought was gone. Out in the
country she didn't expect to find much
work to do. Winter was coming, by.
aDd-by. and she must do something to-
ward getting ready for it. The look ahead
was gloomy enough, because it was SO
full of uncertainty. If she could only
knoac what to depend on, she could tell
what to do. But the trouble was the
same with her as with all of us-she
couldn' foresee what time would bring
to pass.
Hester couldn't tell why, but she had
never been so completely discouraged as
she was that night. She laid her head
down on her hands that her mother
might not see her, and cried. There was
step on the stair. knock at the door.
She went and opened land a man stood
on the threshold.
Hester, Hesterl" cn ed CHEEKY glad
voice, "don't you know me ?" and two
strong arms were around her before she
half comprehended what was taking
place, and Will was kissing her.
"Oh, Will as it really you? she
cried. have just been thinking of
you'll" and then she laid her head down
on his shoulder and sobbed for very hap
piness.
By-and by, when they were sitting to-
gether, talking of the past and of the pres
ent, be told her how he had returned to
his old home and found that she was
gone, and none of the old neighbors
could tell him where to look for her, ex-
cept in the city Taking this uncer-
tain clue, he had come to the city and
searched from one end of it to the other
unsuccessfully. He had nearly given up
the search i'll despair, thinking that she
had gone elsewhere, when what should
he happen to see that afternoon, in pic
window, but the dear old
picture of Hester's? From the dealer he
had learned her wher eabouts-and here
be was
I'm be back pretty soon" he exclaim-
ed, suddenly, and went out. Pretty soon
he came back, bringing the picture.
well never let it go" he said, kissing
Hester. 81 shouldn't have found you if
it hadn't been for this"
And to day that picture hangs above
their mantel in their pleasant home, the
most cherished of all Hester's earthly
possessions.

A HOT TEMPERED Danbury woman who
finds considerable trouble in persuading
her husband to furnish kindings, and
is then obliged to do it herself, read in a
religious paper. Monday, of how a wife
induced wicked husband to become one
of the most affectionate and hopeful of
men by being invariably calm aud loving
with him. The story made deep
impression upon her, and when she
started the fire that noon, she put pair
of rubbers among the wood. Then she
tied handkerchief across her nose, and
went on with her work. When the
husband reached the gate, he paused,
fetched sniff that made hole in the
atmosphere, and then went around 70 the
back of the house, and fetched another
sniff that had an equally damaging effect
On the atmosphere. He stared into the
next yard and up at his own house, and
felt in his pockets and was about to go
around to the front again. when his wife
thrust her head out of the window and
said, why don't you come into the
house, you old fool? Come in and get
your dinner, and let me read an articale
to you from the Christian Secretary, you
old rip. Come in and see how nice it is
to get dinner with nothing to burn but
rubbers, you whited sepulchre. Come
in here, tell you before l lose my tenn
per and say what I oughtn't to!" At
this invitation he went in, going upon
the stoop and to the door very slowly,
but, on opening the door, disappeared
inside with marvellous suddenness. The
neighbors say he was cutting wood all
that afternoon, and thinking of the relig-
ious press.

HEREAFTER,

When dead, oh let thy record be
That thou hast all thy duty done
That those whose steps come after thee
Thy path will never wish to shun.
For who would live for self alone
Within the bigots iron door,
Or sit on misers morbid throne,
Unmindful of the worthy poorf
Then let the heart with mercy bright,
Shed beams of love on all thy race
That naught may blast the spirits sigh
When God shall meet 1t face to face.
And, even though His fathe--hand
Did take the pet lamb from thy fold,
Look up and on, beyond the strand
Behold the flaming crown of gold
Tho dark the way and deep the stream
And all the road with toll be rough,
If still we see the dawning beam
OF Heaven, for us, it is enough.
For on the pillows of the sea,
And up the mountains of our life,
We stand, o God, far nearer Thee;
Far stronger in this world ofstFife.
Then let us SOW our day of pain,
And all the burdens of our care;
That we may reap in Heaven again,
The harvest of our glory there.

of her mother,growina timer and whiter
every day, she felt that life did depend
upon it. The invalid must have generous
diet. the physician said whatever her
appetite crayed must be given her. Often
Hester contented herself with crust,
that her mother might have the luxury
she craved but the sick woman never
dreamed of the sacrifice.
Hester sat before the one window in
the Cd tenement house this hot, August
afternoon, and thought. The doctor had
told her that very day, that what her
n1other needed more than anything else
| was the pure air o. her native hills; this
city air, hot. dry. dusty. was sitting her.
She would never be any better unless
she could leave the city. But how to
get her into the country? Hester
1 thought the problem over until she was
dizzy. She was half worn out, herself,
| with overwork, and the rent was due, and
several things MUST be had right away.

where was the money to come from te
take her mother to the paradise of greer
fields and wide, blue skies?
Thinking Of the country made her looi
| up at her picture. which had been the one
bright spot in their city home. Looking
at that had rested her many times wher
her eyes and fingers ached and her heat
seemed to hold an imprisoned whirlwint
in it. Looking at the picture brough
back the remembrance of what the oil
peddler had said when he gave it to her
IF you ever want to dispose of it,yo,
can do so; at good price, in the city.
Here she was in the city, and Their
hung the picture, and if she ever felt tn
need of money, she felt it now. VIII,

the city on Monday. This arrangemer
would give them two days to get read

HINTS OF FALL STYLES.

Some early hints of the styles to be
worn in the fall are gathered from the
letters written home from Europe by
buyers for the large wholesale houses.
These report that double breasted gar
ments have by no means seen the height
of their popularity, but viii continue in
favor for the fall and winter. The Eng
hsh walking jacket, similar to the gar
ment of that name worn last year, but
more closely fitted, viii dispute favor
with mantillas as fall wraps Apretty
garment, showing compromise between
these two wraps, is already illustrated in
French magazines of fashion The front
has long square mantilla ends, the sack
is snugly fitted jacket and the sleeves
are coat-shape. This composite garment
is stylish and new, and will be made of
black cashmere or camel's hair, to be
worn with various dresses. The double
breasted front will also be retained in
polonaises and redingotes, Of which fresh
varieties are promised. The sleeveless
basque and the jockey basque are still in
vogue abroad, and will be found among
the importations for the next season.
The pulled skirt is another Partisan
suggestion for fall dresses. This is mere
ly an amply long basque and single
skirt !; but the skirt is so elaborate, that
an overskirt would be superfuous. A
long walking skirt of cambria is made
and plainly covered with silk from the
knee down. On this is sewed the sill
skirt, held in lengthwise pufis from the
waist down, gradually widening TOWARD
the bottom, and forming below hollow
box-plaiting that gives the effect of {
fornce around the skirt. The puffs arr
separated by ruches, and a bow conceal.
the end of each ruche. The BASQUE i,
deeply pointed in front and behind, ant
is quite short on the hips. 1t is trim
med by ruffie of hollow plaids. gradu
ated narrower on the sides, and quit,

Overskirts on many imported dresse
are open in front and Tapped from sid
to side just below the belt. There is
deep point on each side, and the back i
caught up by sash almost to the belt
Alpacas, which are underestimate
here, have again come into great favo
: in Europe for country, seaside and tray
cling dresses. Clear gray shades ar
most used, and are trimmed with blacl
velvet or else gros grain of the shade o
the material. Sleeveless basques of tn

REMEMBER THY MOTHER

Lead thy mother tenaerly
Down LIES steep decline;
once her arm was thy support,
Now she leans on thine.
See npor her loving face
Those deep lines of cares
Think-it was her toll for thee
Left that record there. sas
Ne'er forget her tireless watch
Kept by day and night,
Taking from her step the grace,
From her eye the light.
Cherished well her faithful heart
Which, through weary years,
Echoed with its sympathy
All thy smiles and tears.
Thank God for thy moth sr's love,
Guard the priceless boon;
For the bitter parting hour
Co-1eth all too soon.
When thy grateful tenderness
Loses power to save,
Earth will hold no dearer spot
Than thy mothers grave
