rel was in progress. And oh. IL was 80 horri-
bic to see the drunkenness Of Frank. He
scarcely bore any resemblance TO his former
self, and yet the likeness after all. was I'M
mistakable. His face had q bloated look: his
eyes rolled wildly; he tripped and stumbled.
Ajola felt IL her heart would broak. She
wanted to cry out, but dared not. Then again
1t seemed to her that she had the courage, but
not the power.
Frank raised his knotted fist and shook it in
Rothsays face. Rothsay covered and had The
mien Of one about to strike. Frank stood de-
FAINT. and the words that his wife heard ring
out from his lips wore packed with insult. The
next instant he appeared in the bright-lit door
way. followed by the man whom he had just 50
holly addressed.
Rothsay caught Frank by the shoulder.
Adela gasped she saw the two men front
each other. And then great horror took hold
OF her. for she perceived that her husbands
assailant bore pistol. Frank was reeling; he
envisaged Rothsay. and his hands were
clenched. His condition was pitiable; he could
hardly stand. He shook of the hand Of Roth
say, however, and glared fierce challenge. IL
was evident that bis opponent had also been
drinking.
"Oh, my Godr' thought Adela twill poor
Frank be mad enough to face that pistol?"

one day when he hoard of a famous physician
who had wrought wonderful cures Of nervous
diseases he eagerly sought what hclpful
change science might effect
The physician at first seemed doubtful OF his
own curative powers. But later he consented
to attempt n course of treatment which proved
drastic and yet was crowned, after three good
years, with perfect success.
In this was Franks bitter punishment turned
out to be a moro lenient one than he had
dreamed Of believing il. His boy ia now n
strong, healthy and clear-minded lad, whose
parents never gaze upon him except with
either conscious or instructive gratitude. And
yet Adela's thankfulness has always been
keener than Franks. This may scarcely be
wondered at A mothers love il always the
harder, as it is always the holier.

YOUNG ARISTOCRATS DISGRACED.
Scions of Nobility Scored by the Dean
Of an Oxford College.

From the Churchman
There is excitement and deep indignation in
the ranks OF the British aristocracy The dean
Of Christ Church College, Oxford, has in
simulated that it is going down to the lowest
abyss Of degradation and carrying with it the
honor and greatness OF England. This severe
disciplinarian, annoyed by the frequent cases
of intoxication and lewdness reported to him,
''called up" some recently arrived Eton col
legians. all of whom are sons OF lords, baronets,
ambassadors and representatives OF wealth
generally. Said he: students of Christ
Church, wish could also say young gentle
men-the time has come to call you to very
serious account. 1t pains me TO receive re-
ports that you SO behave yourselves within the
precincts of this seat of learning-whence have
arisen some of EngIand's greatest and noblest
men-asl to be called a nuisance and disturbers
OF the common peace. Your brawls aud in
discretions scandalize the residents, whose
wives and daughters fear you rs they would
savage animals of the lower order.
"You consider that because you are tho sons
OF nobility you are entitled to extravagant lib.
erty, to be distended to vulgar license. You
are laborng under tho delusion from which
you may have a very rude awakening This
college is not intended for well-born ounces
such as you.
.You are not content with manly recreation
such as your forefathers delighted to enjoy
the pleasures Of the field, Of the river. of home.
You court fercer and disreputable pleasures
drinking to excess in public places, to show
your quality, it is said; gambling in gilded par
lors. to show how wealthy you are; following
after women whose presence by the side Of
your mothers and sisters you would resent as
contagious contact. Yet you do not hesitate to
place yourselves on a level with them and lay
foundation for degradation which must follow
you through life.
''What husbands and fathers of the future,
It il such as yon who have dsmoralized tutors
and guardians who have toadied to wealth and
position for personal benefit. You should be
examples to the poor and struggling. You are,
repeat, only o disgrace"

During the early days of May, however, q
little cloud OF annoyance revealed itself. At
hrst it was n very small cloud indeed, though
gradually il assumed much larger proportions.
Directly next door to the Amorys dwelt an
elderly man named Rothsay, who had the re-
pute Of being extremely wealthy. although
this rumor, like all others which concern
eccentric personages. may have been partially
baseless. Mr.. Rothsay had several servants
