There was another pause and another open

During the passage Of the procession the
streets of the city other than those immedi-

CHAPTER XIV.
A DISPUTED CLAIM.

SA@<AANhs
During the last three months of the year
Lakewood House did not belle its reputation
for calm regularity of its domestic concerns
and immunity from the many petty ills and
annoyances which affiict less methodically
conducted establishments. So far as could
be seen all promised well for a quiet, placid
and uneventful winter. Horace and Her
bert employed themselves as was their wont.
They were men who could spread out little
occupation over a large slice Of time, SO
never found the hours hang YEARLY. Beatrice
seemed fairly happy with her bright-haired
boy, The little fellow was now beginning to
prattle merrily, and his manner towards the
Talberts was more audacious and familiar
than ever. Altogether it looked as if moth
ing would occur to disturb the even tenor OF
life at Hazlewood House, until the budding
hedges once more brought round the usual
spring cleaning.
But. all undreamt Of by the brothers,
storms were brewing which were to shake
their house to the foundations.
Christmas came. Now Christmas Day was
a day on which the Talberts made great
sacrifices for the good of their fellow-crea-
lures. Sylvanus Mordle, who believed that
those in poverty were as much entitled to
creature comforts as to spiritual consola-
lions, always sent the hat round at Christ
mas, and collected a special fund for the
purpose of giving all his poor people a hearty
dinner. At this dinner the Talberts were his
henchmen No one who knew their fastidi-
GUS tastes could have seen them carving huge
Joints of sanguinary-looking beef or serving
outsticky segments of plum pudding without
feeling sure that, at heart, they were thor
oughly good fellows. Herbert did once
plaintively ask Mordle IL the meat need be
quite so red. The curate chuckled. "If it
wasn't red, they'd say twas American, and
leave it," he answered, 1t is to- be feared
that experience had taught Mordle that
charity is often looked upon as right to be
demanded, not bounty for which to be
thankful

Mrs Miller bent down and kissed his hand.
She murmured few words which he could

And we were friends without demur.
Shut out from all the sound and stir.

of u Member.
The ball that was to have been given at
Franzheim's Hall last night for the benefit
OF Wheeling Lodge B. 20. Elks was in
definitely postponed short time before
the hour announced for the dancing to
commence. The reason for the postpone
ment was the serious and ii is feared fatal
illness OF Mr.. Sam A. Miller, one Of tho
prominent members OF the. order. Yes.
tertlay afternoon he rallied and it was the
desire Of his parents that the hop take
place as arranged for, but later in the day
Mr.. Sliller's disease took moro alarming
turn aud it was generally believed by the
members OF the Order and the other gen.
t!emen who intended TO be present at the
ball that the only proper thing to dowould
be to postpone the ball. AS many were
notified before hand as it was possible to
reach and members OF the committee re-
maincd ut The hall until 10 o'clock to ex.
plain the situation to those who had not
received word. The news OF N[r. Miller's
serious illness was heard with profound
sorrow by all and the unanimous express
sion was, that the committee had acted
right in stopping proceedings.
