That evening Mrs Raynor said to her
husband: George, want to bring little
Ruth Hunter here, put some decent
clothes on her and send her to school
this winter with our children. My heart
aches for the poor neglected little
thing.
Mr.. Raynor arched his eyebrows re.
provingly you'll be sure to rue phi
lanthropy of that kind my dear. It's a
risky thing to bring barbarian like
her among civilized beings You don't
know how she might injure our own
children"
"Ill look closely after all OF them,"
said Mrs. Raynor. "Why, the poor lit
tie thing has had no chance to be any
thing but barbarian. believe there's
plenty of good in her if some one would
take tho trouble to develop it. Besides,
1 believe we all commit sin when we
see children growing up like savages
before our eyes and never lift finger
to save them. Our duty does not end
with looking aftor our own"
"Well, we'll, have it your own way"
said Mr.. Raynor. ~, too, feel sorry
for the poor little waif; but hope you
will not rue it,"
Next morning Mrs Raynor went to
the Hunters to ask for Ruth. "What
do you say, daddy?" asked the apathet-
ic Mrs. Hunter, as she sat in hideous
rags with dirty baby on her lap, after
she had heard Mrs. Raynor's request.
DO as ye like about it." said the
fond father. Young uns are most too
thick around here"
well, We ken take her." said Mrs.
Hunter, nodding to Mrs. Raynor, IAN
if she don't like it over there among
your young uns she can come back any
day." This was said in the most inde-
pendent and airy fashion, as thoHgh
there was every possibility that Ruth
might not like life in tho Raynor fam
lily at all
Mrs. Raynor smiled as she thanked
Mrs. Hunter, and then she took Ruth
home with her.
The child was overioyed. Nice clothes
and kindness soon developed her self
respect, and she loved her benefactress
as only young savage can love. She
was bright and quick, and learned with
surprising rapidity. The winter went
by and she still remained at the Ray
nors. The summer and another winter,
and year after year slipped away and
she was still there.
At last Ruth was twelve years old,
and a very sweet and lovely Ruth she
had grown to be. Her comfort and joy,
however, were soon TO end. One day
her mother came over to the Raynors
and told Ruth that they, the Hunters,
were about to move ''out West" and she
must go with them. Tears and en-
treaties were of no avail. The misera-
BILE, ignorant woman had long been
jealous of Ruth's affection for Mrs.
Raynor, and she now declared that Ruth
must come homo and share the fortunes
of the family. So the poor child went
away with her unlovely family into a
life that was hateful to her. For time
she wrote frequently to Mrs. Raynor,
but rs the years went by letters came
less frequently, and at last after the
Raynors removed to another town, they
ceased to hear from Ruth altogether.
Time moved on and brought sad
changes to the Raynors. One by one

One raw autumn day she met Ruth on
the street in tears.

the kind lady.
"l-l-I want to go to school and h-have

sobbed Ruth, shivering in her thin and

Senator FRYE Undoubtedly he was

Senator Gray (DeL) read extracts
from the letter 10 show that Senator
Frye's interpre citation was not the nat
uraI or correct one. In reply Senator
FRYE said that Mr.. Blaine had
criticised the bill in simply one
rcgard-the provision making sugar
free. In his judgment Mr.
Blaine had simply criticised it
because the free-sugar provision was
not accompanied with a provision that
would open up the markets Of the South
American countries TO the products OF
American farms.
Senator Gibson (La) denied the
statement that Mr.. Blaine's letter re-
ferred 70 sugar alone, and asserted that
it referred also TO hides and wool and
ores. The Secretary of State stood COM
mitted (Senator Gibson said) to the
broad policy of reciprocity with the
