MARK HkSCALL'S C0NCENIAL
SPIRIT.
(COnfiuuedD

That was the beginning of it. AZ
ter that, no more peace, no more
love for those two. Mark Hascall's
life went by jumps, and he had ia
ken a long and desperate down.
ward leap. Their life thenceforth
was a series of chickering's and bitter
%quarrels. These two souls that
could not exist apart, you know.
At the end of a year, Bell went
home, to her fathers, an iIl-tem-
pered, disappointed woman, to hang
like a stone on the shoulders of the
father who, but one little year be-
fore, had rubbed his hand and
fondly whispered to himself that he
was rid of the burden of one of his
children at any rate. Then Mark
drank himself beastly drunk to
drown his troubles, and followed
her to take her home again. She
refused to go, and there, in the
presence of her mother and sister,
he raised his hand and struck her
in his drunken rage.
Even then her cold presence of
mind did not leave her. She push
ed him across the threshold and out
of doors with her own hands, and
made as if she would have spurned
him with her foot.
Il shall make application for a
divorce to-day" she said to him in
her calmest voice.
1t sobered him instantly.
"Do you really mean that ?" he
asked.
so help me God. 1 do! L will
never live with you another day.
For your future 1 have neither faith,
hope nor charity. Go!
She pointed with her hand to the
street, and he went away without a
word. In due course oftime, a year
and a half after the congenial souls
had been pronounced one, because
they were unable to exist away from
each other,
A DIVORCE WAS GRANTED
to Mrs. Hascall, and the custody of
their infant son given to her, she
being in every way fitted to real
him properly, the Court said. The
most common occurrence in the
world, you know-happens every
day.
Mark made no remonstrance to
any part of it. He did not drink
so much as before, but seemed
sunken into a sullen, leaden apathy.
On the day the divorce was grant.
ed, he came to the house and asked
to see his little boy. Even Bell
could not find 1t in her heart to de-
ny him, especially as her former
husband was perfectly sober. She
carried the child down stairs herself.
"You are free now" said Mark.

thusiasm. "The old dreams and
the old ambitions g to shine be-
fore me again. | take off your ring
and return it to you, and with that
/ put off the old life forever. Thank
God, / anu free! 1 am going to put
the past out of my life so entirely
that l shall not even remember it
l have no memories; l have hopes
once more I have hopes. l am
free, free! A hope is better than a
memory. All, ! have wings
"And the little child ?" said Mark
softly.
Her cheeks flushed holly. She
clasped the baby closer. 81 shall
take him with me wherever I CO."
she answered. ~ shall devote my
life to him, and try to make him
wiser and better than his father !
she hesitated a little, and then
added gently-''or his mother"
Now that it had really come, and
she was all free from the drunken
husband, the coarse mother-in-law.
and he horrible old life, with its
shameful chickering's, was it odd
that she suddenly felt a strange

THE COMING STRUGGLE,

The voters OF our nation,
As ne'er was known before,
Are rising from Paci6c's strand
To Atlantic's rocky shore,
Why is tn S mighty changer
What Can the meaning be7
The rising of the masses
From northern lake to southern'sea.
The spirit Of old seventy-six
From out our heroes grares
Forbids a nation drenched in patriots blood,
Should sink to that of slaves;
The motto which our coins once bore,
Though obsolete long since,
Remain as ever true not one cent for tribute,
But millions for defense.
Party ties and party laws
Are but as ropes of sand.
The ,ishts of man 10 be a man
Should govern Freedoms land.
Then shall our Flag more proudly float
Ger land as well as sea,
And nations yet unborn shall gladly greet
The emblem Of the free.
In trade we'll try to deal,
As man should deal with man,
And while we seek to live ourselves,
Well sell as cheap as anybody can,
And If q hat you need,
Or friend you chance to meet,
Remember Bunce, the Halter,
