effect that black boy of about fifteen
years Of age, named John White, ran

"He has silver collar about his neck

In the cooking of which I'm decidedly lame
Alas, confess my shortcomings are many
All, me, that might only live without any
And If 1 find time, I'll try over that song
That Isabel lent me I've kept it so long
I'm really ashamed to return it! It's wrong
To neglect social duties-but then I've no

To spare for society, arts nor for rhyme.
But I'll catch up next week with some
of these matters,
And garnish both inside and out Of the

And as often been dashed upon fate's stony

But the storm overpast-grew courageous

As Jimmy came in "broken out" with rash,
And she heard wild yell and horrible crash
From the pantry it came-Johnny lay
midst the wreck,
And had broken his arm, instead OF his
neck!
But time healed the wounds and hope came
again,
To dwell brief space with this mother Of

But the rainbow wings paled in the strife
that came then,
For new trial rose in the buffalo bugs
That got into the carpet and nice parlor

Through bright country lanes I'm plning to

With coaches and horses; her poor aching

seemed unnaturally large; but he kept
on in his daily routine Of duty and
charity. and Alma was enthusiastic in
praising him to me.
II was late in the autumn when we
began to be uneasy about Charles
Lathrope. He had been in ST. Louis
through September, on some business
errand, and had written regularly to
Alma. In October, his letters suddenly
ceased. For weary weeks Alma
watched the mail, her face growing
daily more pallid and sad. l had not
fully realized how deeply her love had
taken hold of her heart until this time
of suspense. But l knew then that
with her to love once was to love for
life.
had not thought of any plan for re-
lief until, one morning, Godfrey Owen
sent in his card to me, and met him in
the drawing-room.
Miss Bentley is at the village" he
said to me, 'and ventured to call to
ask you once more to be kind to me
and tell me what sorrow is killing her.
Can ] help her?"
told him as frankly as he asked.
1--WE have written to the address in
st. Louis" l said, "but have no an
swer.n
"Will you give me that address," he
asked, and put it carefully in his note
book. Il will start for st. Louis to-
night, he said, "but it would be best,
perhaps, not to tell Miss Bentley until
you hear from me there"
1T would be best, l said. ''It may
only throw her into state of agitation
and suspense worse than she is now
enduring"
So he went away, my hero, my mar
tyr, giving me the last clasp was ever
to feel of his strong hand, the last
kindly look from his dark eyes, the
last tender words his lips ever uttered
for me,
One letter, only one, he wrote TO me.
He found Charles Lathrope in house
deserted by everybody but a little
negro boy, lying dangerously i'll with
smallpox. Before he entered the house
himself he wrote to me, warning NE
he should not dare to write to me from
there.
But if brothers devotion brothers care;
will save the life Of the man Alma loves, be
sure he shall have them"
So he wrote. Weary days followed
without one word of tidings. Then
came telegram from Charles La
| thrope:
"I am recovering. Mr.. Owen has taken the
smallpox. Is very ILL.,"
Later he told me that the physician
took this and some other kilograms for
him, but would not let him send let
ter.
1t was after Christmas when he came
home and to Startled.
II owe my life to a stranger" he told
me; ''and not until he was dying did he
tell me the motive that led him to St.
Louis to nurse me back to life. 1t was
the most peaceful, beautiful death 1
ever imagined, and must have been the
end of sinless, unselfsh life. Not a
doubt! Not fear! He bade me give
his love to Alma, and told me it was an
entire happiness to him that he bad
helped to save my life for her." ~
They are very happy, Alma and her
husband, living useful Christian lives,
"doing good without tiring" But l,

calmly-the great, generous heart stilled

HIS LIFE FOR ANOTHER.
Noble Sacrifice Godfrey Owen
Made for the One He Loved.

1t was when Alma Bentley was only
six years old that her father wrote to
me, asking me to come to Starfeld and
take the place of governess to his
motherless girl Amos Bentley was a
far-away cousin Of my own, and he had
heard of my recent widowhood, my
anxiety to find some employment. And
out of the goodness of his heart he
offered me a position in his own luxuri-
GUS home that gladly accepted. | was
received like a sister, and, indeed,
Alma has always called me Aunt Susie.
As she grew older, masters in music,
drawing and languages assisted me in
her education. until, at eighteen, it was
decided that she was to spend a winter
in New York with her aunt, Mrs. Win
ship, and be introduced to society.
1t was natural that a girl of eighteen
should be excited and eager over such
prospect, but Alma dreaded it with
strange fear for one SO young Had she
been a French girl of two centuries
earlier, she would, most assuredly,
have been "a nun, and often told her
so in Jest. Yet, in most serious earnest,
! knew that had never seen or heard
of girl in this bustling, busy age of
ours so pure of heart, so deeply devout,
so modest and tender as Alma Bentley.
She was very fair, rather pale than
rosy, yet not sicllly-looking, with wav-
ing hair of light brown, and large blue
eyes, slight in figure, and with look
of perfect serenity and peace,
"Allie looks like a saint, " her father
said to me. "She seems TO have none
of the brightness Of girlhood, Is she
happy?'
"Yes. | think she is happy, as far
as such plying nature can be. But
the sorrow of others, the crime, the
misery, the poverty she sees press upon
her"
"Why need she see2" he asked quick.

LONDON. Feb. ia financial dispute
between the Irish factions is likely to be
ono of the features of the coming Irish
struggle. When $4,000 was released from
the league fund a month ago, S25.g0 went
to the campaign committee and $1,000 to
the Tenants Defense league. The HcCar-
thyites say the latter sunl was too much.
and furthermore contend that instead of
being devoted to the evicted tGHants it was
used 70 meet al overdraft on the Hibernian.
7. p. Gill deciarestha. Mccarthy must have
known when he signed the release that tine
fund set apart for the tenants was heavily
oyerdrswn. acCarthyites assert. on the
contrary. that he left Bouiogne believing
the money was 70 be devoted TO eyicted
tenants only. The question arises whether
there was 2 misconceptIor at the confer
rnce, or whether O'BrIen thought he was
acting within the lines OF the agreement III

insist on the declaration that the fund was
to be Used for enants. In an interview.

How the Price is Determined,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-The acting secre-
tary of the treasury, in answer to a ssnate
resolution. says the basis on which he esti-
mates the market price OF silver is the daily
quotation of silver in London. New York
and San Francisco. The market price, the
secretary estimates from the comparison OF
these prices, and the prices at which silver
il offered for sale to the government. the
ruIe being to accept lowest offers. provided
they do not materially exceed ths highest
market price in the three named cities.
Nsttleton further states no silver bullion
has been purchased by the government out
side of the United States, but undoubtedly
large quantities of foreign silver bullion
has been delivered On purchases to the gov
eminent made from parties residing in the
United States.
