CHAPTER VIII.
THE MANUSCRIPT IS OPENED,
THE DESERTED WIFE,

When Mr., Bosworth called |
again he informed me that q new |
light had been shed on the pris
oner's case, and he as q lawyer
was very hopeful.
"Did he keep his promise and
tell you every circumstance un-
feservedly?" ! asked,
nEverything save his family
name; he persists in retaining
bis present one out of respect to
the dead, he says, and ] cannot
convince him that ! must know
his reason for assuming another,
in order to clear away all
doubts
"Would it answer for me to
see him again?"
"There is no objection if you
adhere to the rules: in fact |
wish you would, for his obstina-
cy gave way before your skill
and tact in once instance, and it
may do SO again."
Every well; ! will call early in
the week, when ! have promised
to carry some books to one of the
prisoners"

Bosworth, still gazing in the fire,

My aunt disturbed him all too
soon,
"Mr. Bosworth,'' she said,
"Annie Sorr did speak, not with
her lips it is true, but with her
pen. She wrote day after day
and told me it was for myself
and her father. She put it care
fully away, telling me it would
be rewritten some time in better

stronger, but the end came swift

stSweet Charity"

IN the Artists Exhibition of 1898 at
the New York Academy of Design,
there was exhibited an oil painting by
j. L. G. Ferris, entitled Sweet Charity
Its richness of coloring commanded
instant attention, while the lesson it
taught was so impressive that one nat
urally returned to it for a second view.
Its subject is young lady of colonial
times who is on an errand to one of the
poorer families of the town. She has
a sensible, charming face. which ex-
presses with remarkable fidelity the
sentiment of her errand. There is not
a home that this charming picture will
not ornament. 1t must be seen to be
appreciated.
Sweet Charity was purchased by
the Publishers of the YOUTHS CONPAN-
JON and has been reproduced in colors
in large size 1419 x21.

gree that the press cannot too often
urge rural people to greater care and

People making use of Paris grecn,
ETC., who live many miles from drug
store, however. should keep the
material for making the antidote on
hand. According to the ''Dispensatory
OF tho United States OF America" the
following can be recommended:
Mix 1000 grains of the solution of
tersuiphate of iron with twice its
weight of water, and keep the mixture
in a well stopped bottle. rub $50 grains
of magnesia with water to a smooth
and thin mixture. put this in a bottle
capable of holding thirty-two fluid
ounces (about one quar), and fill it up
with water. When the preparation is
wanted for use. mix the two fluids by
adding the magnesia mixture grad
ually to the iron solution, and shake
them together until homogeneous
mass results''
Farmers remote from villages or
cities will do no more than use ordi-
nary precaution. if they have the two
mixtures put up by their apothecary.
and keep them on hand for use in an
emergency. The mixture OF the two.
prepared as directed above, is a safe
antidote for Paris green. London pur-
