the idea of having to keep silent about
anything, for it was very hard for me to
do. l could never be upon my guard,
though my wish be ever SO sincere. How
was to keep from telling all about my
wonderful legacy! My truant tongue
would certainly betray me some day. In
my meditative mood l began to wish that
knew how the Mas0ns and Odd Fellows
learned to keep their secrets. 1t was no
use for me to care so much after all, for
was not forbidden to tell it. There was no
penalty to follow, such as old Blue Beard
imposed upon his hapless wives-I was
only to be discreet! So deep was my
reyerie that it was startling sound to me
when the breakfast bell rang. l had
barely time to lock away my jewels be-

| soft green grass was in front, and through
! it ran a clear, natural brook, tumbling
now and then over rocks singing as it
went onward. Pretty white stone
| bridges spanned the brook on the right
and on the left. Nearer the house were
some native forest trees, in which the
birds hoped and sang as blithely as if
they were monarchs of birdland. A flight
of white stone steps led to higher plat
of ground where the sweetest of flowers
were planted. A road of gravel, border
ed with rich grass, wound around another
way, and soon brought us to the man
sion that stood upon q gentle elevation
fair and still and white like bride at the
altar.
Father went around with his buggy,
and Mr.. Williams assisted me in dis.
mounting, and then walked with me
slowly along the pathway. Fountains
PLAYED about us, and their lullaby made
me silent always. MIR. Williams asked
me how it was that we had not lived
here. With an undisciplined sigh 1 re-
piled:
"Father is welded to our own home.
Mother used to talk of moving here. He
might have come with ner."
He did not speak just then, but looked
at me earnestly for a moment, saying:
'.No mothers"
His nature was intensely sympathetic,
and people almost unconsciously gave
him their condolences. l blushed after
wards in recalling how much l told him,
in that little walk, of my orphange, about
Harry, and how hated vineyards. We
were on the threshold before l knew it,
and he ushered me in himself. Aunt
Miriam furnished the house most elegant
ly, and only a few Of the border-rooms
had ever been rented. Tne ample means
she had left for the purpose of keeping
the place in perfect repair and order had
been most judiciOusly used by father, so
that the large parl0rs were still fresh and
beautiful. Father thought best to lease
the whole house to the newcomers, so, for
the first time, Strassmere had home
look. Many new and beautiful paintings
a formed the walls, and rare ornaments
were here and there added to those that
were familiar to my eye. A pure, artistic
Taste had ordered the arrangement of the
rooms, so that my love of the beautiful

MT. Wl1iIam NYe on Mr.. William II
Vanderbilt.
l learn with much sadness that Mr..
William II. Vanderbilt's once princelv
fortune has shrieveled down to $3.50. O0O.-
600. This piece of information comes to
me like a clap OF thunder out of a clear
SKY. Once petted, fondled and caressed.
William ii. Vanderbilt, shorn of his
wealth, resting upon no foundation but
his sterling integrity, must struggle along
with the rest of us. In conclusion. l do
not know what to say, unless it be to ap-
peal to the newspaper men of the coun-
try in Mr.. Vanderbilt's behalf. While he
was wealthy he was proud and arrogant.
He said: "Let the newspapers be blank
ETY. BANKED to blank" or words to that
effect, but we do not care for that. Let
us forget all that and remember that his
sad fate may some day be our own. In
our affiuence let us not lose sight of the
fact that Van is suffering. Let us procure
place for him on some good paper. His
grammar and spelling are a little bit
rickety, but he could began as janitor and
gradually work his way up. Parties hav-
ing clothing or funds which they feel like
giving may forward the same to me at
Hudson, Wis, postpaid, and if the
clothes do not fit Van they may possibly
fit me,

A summer evening,
A low square room,
One-half moon-lighted
And half in gloom.
From out the stiffness
A girls voice floats,
And charms my soul
with its sad sweet notes.
Inc music draws near me.
With witchery sweet,
To lay my heart
At the singers feet.

And, while / wait,

Ofthe garden-gate.
A shadow darkens
The moonlit square
A touch falls soft
On the girls bright hair.

A startled cry
And they are happy!
