Oakes weekly Republican. (Oakes, Dickey County, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1883-1898, 1889-12-27


"My wife" said MI. Harrison. "is
painfully. almost morbidly, anxious to
do everything she can for poor children,
especially for orphans. And about
Christmas time she seems especially
nervous about it. There is a story about
it, of course, but it is too long and too
painful to tell now." This to Mr.. Van
Meter, whose earnestness in his chosen
work made him rejoice in every new
found friend, and whose enthusiasm was
contagious.
Before long the story was known.
Mrs. Harrison's father was a wealthy
manufacturer, whose two daughters
were the children of different mothers,
and developed as they grew to woman
hood strikingly different characteristics.
The elder one, Sarah, was the daughter
of his first wife, who had deserted him
and her infant child to run away with
one of his clerks. He knew little of her
story after her flight, but i'll the course
of Il year and a half he learned that she
had been forsaken by her lover and had
plunged into such a terrible course of
dissipation that death had been merci-
fully speedy in overtaking her. A year
later he married the second time.
Again daughter was born to him,
and as Tie two children grew up they
we're treated, as nearly as possible, ex-
actly alike. Everything that money
could buy. or affection dictate. was ut
their command, and every influence of
refinement and education was exerted to
fit them for a high place in society. but
whether it was some taint in the blood,
or a morbid Lroouing over Il mothers
sin and shame. something led the elder
daughter TO turn away from good and
seek evil from her early youth. The
father sought i'll every way possible to
avert the misery which he foresaw for
himself and for her, but it was of no
avail. A wayward youth was followed
by utter rccklessness as the unhappy
girl became woman. She still made
her fathers house her home, and would
spend a large portion of her time there;
but there were prolonged absences which
the family strove in every way to con-
ceal, and into which they dared not

however. much OF the time. She let him
sleep in her room. and when she had
food she gave him some. When she was
drinking heavily she did not bother
about eating, and George had learned, as
young as he was, to keep away from her,
and get his food for himself. How or
when l,r got it. only Gods ravens could
have told. Such cases nre not as common
i'll New York as they were twenty five or
thirty years ago. but they are found now
and again. even in these days. Who Aunt
Sally was, or why she took any interest
whatever in him. he knew nothing about.
She was Il fact. and her interest, faint
though it was, was Il fact. and he had
not come to the age of reasoning about
facts. lie only recognized them.

in the little room as visitors. They had

There was a story back of it, but this
story was not told till afterward. Their
name was not Harrison, so l may call
them that,
