Then she laughed and told how
Flip, the dog, had caught at her
stick with his teeth, frolicking
about when she tried to hit him,
and how he stole Aunt Patsy's
carpet rags and ran off to chew
them up. "Well," said Matron
Mary, "you won't let me give
him away. Everybody wants
him. In fact, l could sell him
any day for ten dollars-he is of
good blood.' No, the old ladies
scold Flip, but they like his will

then Aunt Amy came in to "wa-

Mother Steele was not quite as
placid as usual. Years ago she
had a son killed on the railroad,
and every like accident brings
back her sorrow. Even as we
talked the bell of st. Paul's was
tolling the knell Of Jimmy Kane,
who was killed at Cumberland
Gap, and the funeral train was
slowly passing the window where
sat the old blind, bereaved moth
er. Matron Mary, too, was sad
and worn, from watching beside
Mamie, her daughter, who is i'll
with maIarial fever.
1t was but step through the
next room where sat two more
inmates, Mother Cronleigh still
nursing her lame foot, on through
the kitchen where more of them
were busy, and on out to the
sunny back pavement where Dick
corn was shelled out to him. At
first he daintily hoped over it
as much as to say 81 want green
corn or none at ALL But smil-
ing Aunt Amy chewed up
grain or two, and then shaking
his red comb he pecked at it with
more interest. Flip looked on
with mischieVous eyes, but did
not dare approach. Biddy was
very busy Matching out her brood,
but they do say that she refuses
to goeon her nest unless Dick is
near. Little Massie Denny took
the old ladies some oranges.
Their Christmas donations were
most liberal. DR.. Edgar has
since given wine for the sick and
vinegar to supply the whole es-
tablishment. Go to see them,
friends, and take something
dainty from your own tables.
Many old persons like fruit and

A MODERN MYSTERY.

The death of PHILIP l.. MoEN, of the
Washburn & Moen Manufacturing COM
pany, of barbed wire fence fame, recalls
one Of the most remarkable social mys-
teries of recent times. Mr.. MoEN for
twenty years past was mlld-mannered,
gentle, courteous man, prominent for
his great wealth and well known in
Worcester. Mass, where he lived as a
respectable, unassuming citizen of do
nestle habits and free from reprOach.
In 1885 4 creature named doc" VIII
SON. of the lowest type of humanity in
reputation and personal appearance,
began in the United States court the
first two actions against Mr.. MoEN to
recover 100000 which he claimed was
due him on contract. 1t appeared from
the evidence in this case that for good
many years prior to this date Mr.. MoEN
had been in the habit Of paying WILSON
large sums of money from time to time,
and that the aggregate of all the pay
ments so made reached the astonishing
sum of several hundred thousand dol
lars. WILSON had no business, was a
man entirely without education or posi-
ton, and was notorious in every com
munity III which he was known at all

of Mr.. MoEN's standing should have
given him such sums of money was
mystery which excited the keenest in
terest and inquiry. WILSON himself
claimed that the 100000 for which he
sued was earned by his services in
compromising some suits which certain
women had threatened to bring against
Mr.. MoEN for seduction and breach
of promise of marriage. On the first
tlial over this matter the jury disagreed,
and in the second WILSON was beaten,
and thereupon skunk back into the
vulgar obscurity from which he had for
a little while emerged. Mr.. MOEN
never offered any public explanation of
this remarkable complication. He sim
ply said that it was none of the public's
business why he had given money to
anybody, and that he could do what he
pleased with his own. The general i'm
preston, however, was that he did not
give because he wanted to, but because
he had to. But his death leaves I'M

him in this fashion for so long a time.
