to save them. Our duty does mot end
with looking after our own"
well, we'll, have it your own way"
said Mr. Raynor. II, too, feel sorry
forlthe poor little wait; but hope you
will not rue it,
Next morning Mrs. fRaynor went to
the Hunters to ask for Ruth. tWhat
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, ye ken take her" said Mrs.
Hunter, nodding to Mrs. Raynor, 'san'
if she don't like it over there among
your young uns she can come back any
day." This was said in the most indie
pendent and airy fas ion, as though
there was every possibility that Ruth
might not like life in the Raynor FAM
lily at all 4 tsaaa# E.a =aH4i i}F7s y.s
Mrs. Raynor smiled as she thanked
Mrs. Hunter, and then she took, Ruth
home with her.
The child was overjoyed. 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 very sweet and lovely Ruth she
had grown to be. Her comfort and ioy,
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-
bic, ignorant woman had long been
jealous Of Ruth's affection for Mrs.
Raynor, and she now declared that Ruth
must come home 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 as 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
the rosy-cheeked children sickened and
died, and Mr.. Raynor soon followed
them. Mrs. Raynor found herself alone
and penniless, for her husband affairs
were in bad way, and his property
had been seized by his creditors. ,...
She struggled for time, but sickness
eventually overpowered her, and, as she
was destitute, she was taken to the
| almshouse.
Here, on New Years morning she lay,
helpless and sick at heart. She put her
thin hand over her eyes to hide. the
tears of humiliation which trickled
slowly over her cheeks. Silently she
asked herself how she had sinnal that

bear," she groaned, as the full force OF
her humiliation came upon her.
Somebody began to sing in the next
room. 1t was poor old Nancy, one of
the county's feeble-minded children.
In uavering voice she sung: 49,
BREAD upon the waters cast
~ Shall be gathered at the last"
The words blazed before the brain OF
Mrs. Raynor and she repeated them
doubtingly: ~ 81.
IL BREAD upon the waters cast
~ Shall be gathered at the last"
All. but it was not true-the promise
Ill these words was not true, it was not
true. Had she not cast her bread upon
the waters in deeds of kindness, again
and again? Yet here she was, forsaken.
The tears gushed forth anew-tears of
such misery as many an eye which has
known sorrow is still stranger to. i
The door opened softly. Somebody
entered, but Mrs. Raynor did not re-
move her hand from her eyes.
Mother" said an eager voice,
Mother Raynor."
Who could call her mother? Surely,
every voice that had right to address
her by that name was hushed in death.
The next instant pair of arms were
abouJsshe and young lips were kissing
her faded ones. mother, my true
mother, it is I, Ruth Hunter. Speak to
me-"
After the first shock of joy was over,
Mrs. Raynor asked Ruth how she
learned of her misfortune. It was
easily explained. Mention of the fact
that the county had taken charge of
Mrs. Raynor was made in one of the
newspape rs. A copy Of the paper con-
tanning this paragraph was wrapped
around an express package and sent
to the town in Missouri where Ruth
lived, and BY accident fell into her
hands. After reading it she started at
once to find her former benefactress,

precincts of the village. These young
savages were no respecters of persons.
They whooped and shouted under the
very windows of Judge Jones, whose
name usually Inspired fear in the breast
OF large or small Hillporters. Nor did
they stand in awe of ministers of the
Gospel or show any regard for a church.
In truth, they did not know the uses OF
church, beyond the fact lat it was a
lot OF fun to throw stones at it while
people were within on Sunday morn
ings And as for preacher, wasn't he
a creature whose long-tailed coat af.
forded glorious opportunities for deco
ration which made laughter for the dec.
orators? These were the base uses to
which the Hunter children put sacred
beings and buildings.

able of the townfolk began to pity the
forlorn condition of the young savages,
particularly when it became known
that their father was a shiftless soul.
who loafed three days for every one he
worked, and that their mother had lost
whatever spirit or energy she had once
possessed and was now merely enduring
existence until it ended. And as for
poverty, Hillporters had never really
known what it was until the Hunters
enlightened them.
I'd. one OF the few persons who felt sorry
to see the little Hunters grow up 50
neglected was Mrs. Raynor, whose
pretty home was not far from their
dreary dwelling. She made the &C.
quaintance of all of them, but had
taken particular fancy to six-year-old
Ruth, pretty child, with much sweet
ness and gentleness in her face and
voice. Indeed, to look at Ruth one
could not realize that she had been
born to neglect, poverty and all the I'M
happy results these two evils breed
So. Mrs. Raynor helped the poor little
untaught soul to many an innocent
pleasure and some su bstan tial comforts.
One raw autumn day she met Ruth on
the street in tears. "a 5"~1} 81 - - &

he asserts that the maxim that all men

not true when Jefferson wrote 1t. II

fact the whole Alliance movement seems
to be the greatest craze since the DAYS

of the kind of material of which dane

other than creature of Tillman, does
not appear: But is is, at least probable,
that Hampton feels as the lion did upon

HARRISBURG, Nov. 4.-The gubernatorial
and other contests are in full blast
throughout the state today. The Republic
an candidate for governor is George w.
Delamater. Louis A. Watres is the nom
inee for lieutenant governor and Thomas
j. Stewart for secretary OF internal affairs.
Their opponents on the Democratic ticket
are Robert f. Pattison for governor,
Chauncey Il. Black for lieutenant gov
ernor and William H. Barclay for secre-
tary Of Internal affairs. a labor ticket,
with Thomas =. Rynder for governor, is
being run. The Prohibitionists nave nom
mated John ID. Gill for governor. In 1882
Pattison was elected governor through a
split among the Republicans. The state
is naturally Republican by about 10000
majority, but the present canvass has been
one of the hottest ever waged, and the
Democrats and Independent Republicans
seem to be confident of being able to de-
feat Mr. Delamater. The entire body of
the lower house Of the legislature and
twenty-five senators are to be elected. The
new legislature will choose successor to
Senator Cameron. The Republicans also
claim to be assured of victory.
