veloping In early manhood such reck-
less instinct for vice that Mr.. Brent
wood had been driven to turn him
adrift and refuse to have any thing to
do with him. But James Lawson had
cunningiy managed to keep on the
blind side Of Miss Ruth, and that good
lady had never ceased to befriend him,
srrreptitiously supplying him with
means ont of her very limited resources
I've come to wish you goodbye, Z"
the young man said, lugubriously, Civ
ing his hat, which he carried in his
hand, an extra nervous twirl
"And, why goodbye, JamesT' Miss
Ruth inquired. "Are you going to
leave Meltonburg?"
"Yes,"he replied 81 am going 10
enlist"
"Ah!'
There was keen satisfaction In the
lady's ejaculation, while she glanced at
Grace with look, which said as plain
IS words: what do you think Of that
now2"
well" she said, exultingly, that is
good news, indeed"
Mr.. lawson did not seem TO appreci-
ate the manner In which his announce
ment was received. He expected femi-
nine sympathy not congratulations.
"Yes, indeed, James," Miss Brent
wood gushed, you have now q chance
to cover yourself with glory and show
the folks what a fine young fellow you
are, after nll their mean talk about
you"
ut isn't glory I'm after" the fine
young fellow frankly acknowledged.
Its the bounty and the chance of get
ting living, let alone being away
from the eternal nagging of the folks
around here, who seem set on driving
a fellow into trouble"
Miss Ruth's face fell a little at this
disclosure; but the fact remained that
he was going to the war, and she
solaced herself with this small crumb
Of comfort.

CHAPTER l.
oHH SUNDAY.

gum, with It's sleepy agricultural VII
lagos and pleasant homesteads. Even
the hamlet Of Meltonburg-the last
place In the world where you would
have looked for excitement-was on
this holy day in unusual commotion; and
the scene Of this mental disturbance
was, Of all other places, the village
church, building whose walls had
never, since the early settlers had first
hewed It's rafters from the virgin forest
trees, resounded to any thing more stir
ring than q condemnation Of rural sin
pprs or an invocation 10 godlier life.
The pulse Of the place was throbbing
at fever speed, and the reason was that
Rev. Josiah Brentwood, the aged pas
tor, was preaching q war-sermon. II
was not that the people were lost In as
tonishment at the peaceful old mans
discoursing on such q subject, which
could hardly have seemed more odd to
them than II one Of their own sheep
had suddenly turned TO rend them, but
that the burning eloquence Of one they
had loved, but had never suspected of
the power Of oratory, should stir them
TO such enthusiasm was indeed matter
Of wonder.
The congregation Of petty merchants
and farmers, with their wives and
daughters, sat In their pews spell
bound, while with graphic simplicity he
told them the story Of the civil war,
now In the fury Of It's first passionate
outburst. His fervid description, his
unsurpassed spirit Of patriotism thrilled
them with an emotion they had never
felt before. And when he told them
that cruel as war was, there was time
when the most God-fearing Christian
must grid his loins for the fight and
leave the tender ties Of home and
kindred TO serve his fatherland, the
sacred character Of the spot was for the
moment forgotten and little storm Of
applause greeted his glowing words.
For an instant the preachers eyes
rested on the figure Of q young man;
and he was panied to see the youths
handsome face flush scarlet and his
eyes droop before his glance In an
agony Of shame.
Poor Frank Besantl He had taken
every word Of the sermon ss q areproach
TO himself; for while all the lads Of the
neighborhood had shouldered muslret
and gone TO the front, he had remained
at home-not from any fear Of the
dangers Of the battlefield, but because
the gentle woman, whose hand was now
nervously clasping his, was his widowed
mother, and he was her only child and
the idol Of her heart.
Every word Of the discourse had fall
len like drop OF molten lead In his
ears, tingling them with q sense of unde-
served shame; yet, II he could have read
the thoughts of the few who really had
him In their minds, he would have been
solaced to know that they were only
moved with great pity for the mother
they were assured was 80 soon TO be
bereft; for none, who were intimate
with him, doubted what the end would
be. ,Tft -|. |fI

The Treasury Policy and silver.

The Treasury Policy and Silver.
New York Times.
II is reported that among the argu-
.nents used In Wall street yesterday TO
persuade the public that prices are about
to advance rapidly was a statement that
Mr. Foster has discovered or invented a
new silver policy for this administration
which would set things to booming
We hope for their own sake that the
gentlemen who have staked their money
on this boom have not been influenced by
their own argument, because, In the 6rst
place, It is nos credible that Mr.. Foster
entertains the plan referred to, and In
the second place IL he should carry 1t out
1t would not have the effect that it Is said
TO be expected. The plan. in brief, Is
this: The law Of July, 1890. directs the
Secretary to buy 100000 ounces of sill
yer bullion at current market prices each
month 1t also directs that the coin
age of standard dollars under the law of
1878 shall be suspended on the 1st of
July, and that after that date the Secre
tary "shall coin, of the silver bullion
purchased under the provisions of this
act, as muehas may be necessary tolpro.
vide for the redemption of the Treasury
notes herein provided for, and any gain
or seginorage arising from such coirase
shall be accounted for and paid into the
Treasury" Now IL is said that Mr.. Eos
ter regarding this clause of the law ss
giving him unlimited discretion, intends
TO coin into standard dollars all the silver
bullion purchased, and then TO issue
silver certificates upon these dollars. If
this plan were literally carried out, the
currency would be increased each year,
by the Treasury notes given for the silver
bullion, about $50 100000. This amount
of bullion would yield about $66, 600, 900
in dollars, and If certificates were issued
for these there would be total annual
increase Of the currency Of some $780,
600, 900. We have said that 1t is incredi.
BILE that Mr. Foster has any intention to
put such a wild plan into operation The
argument for it's legality is to fmsy ia
bear a moments examination, and we
cannot think that even privately and
con6dentially the secretsrywould have the
face to suggest IL TO the Attorney Gen
erRl The authority to coin the bullion
purchased by Treasury notes is given
for specific purpose, to provide for the
redemption OF the notes, and for nothing
else Mr. Foster cannot claim that
authority by falsely stating that he
thinks the coinage of all the bullion to bt
necessary" for such redemption with
out violating the express provision Of this
law It is true that he might argue
with himself that no enc would call him
to account for this falshood, and thai
therefore 1t would be safe to act upon It
But no one has the right, and we hav,
not the wish TO attribute to the Secretary
Of the Treasury purpose SO lawless anC
so dishonorRble as that. Therefore, w
sav, 1t is incredible thss he will pursu,

A WOMAN may be forgiven everything
except that of making a guy of herself.
To be athletic or healthy, or both, is
commendable. but to forget for moment
that the chief end Of woman ia to make
herself attractive to men Is 20 forget
that she Is woman. A woman dressed
in the coarse stuifs of dull colors, and
the Ill fitting toggery OF the society
athlete is not attractive. The garments
she wears are neither appropriate nor
suggestive and they have no other effect,
certainly no other aim, than that
OF making the wearer guy.

some piquant women wear in colors suit
