The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1893-08-30

In Mrs. Maynard's drawing-room o
soft glow from the sea-coal fire in the
CRATE was filing the early twilight with
sparkling ruddy tints. Seated in a
low easy chair just within the glow,
during the leisure hour before dinner,
Mrs. Maynard was musing bitterly,
with no interruption save the tinlsling
melodies that Miss Hilary's idle fingers
were sweeping from the glistening
white keys of the piano-forte. Butsoon
the player rose from the instrument,
and, coming toward the fireplace, she
stood revealed in the fitful red light,
slender, queenly figure in her softly
clinging black gown. n te
Mrs. Maynard quickly reused herself
from her reverie on Miss Hilary's ap-
proach and addressed her with q slight
nervous tremor in the voice thatgshe
vainly strove to keep in It's usual sweet,
low, even tone:
my dear Miss Hilary, If you will
permit me, / should like TO speak to you
about Mr.. North. Is it quite true that
he Is an old friend OF yours? You
know, my dear child, you are In GER
tain sense under my social guardian
ship, and feel responsible for your
for anything affecting your happiness" I"
The proud girlish face changed color
slightly during this address, and the
red lips were firmly compressed for an
instant as If to control sudden culver
Of pain; but the eyes remained dreamily
fixed upon the glowing fire and there
was no indication of emotion in the
low voice that presently answered:
"Pray, do not include Mr.. North
among any Of the possibilities affecting
my happiness, Mrs. Maynard. His ex-
istence even is a matter of indifference
| to me-"
Mrs Maynard was too thoroughly a
woman not to understand the exagger-
alton in this statement. She immedi-
ately decided that she would be justi-
fed in renewing the attack upon the
same line.
81 wish, for his sake, that could say
as much for him." she said, slowly, af'
fecting to be absorbed in her idle twirl'
ing of the dainty hand-screen that she
held before her eyes, but in reality
watching anxiously the play of express
sion in Miss Hilary's changeful face

But he betrayed to-day, when of his
guard for moment, degree of inter-
est in you which, under all the circum-
stances of your recent meeting here,
seemed to me very singular, to say the
least; and when commented upon this
fact he attempted to explain 1t by say
ing that you were old friends. 1t
seems strange, does 1t not, that he
should have resorted to declaration
that is so easily proven TO be mistaken9'
Miss Hilary was now pale as ashes,
and in the soft shining of her eyes, as
they were still fixed upon the Goals,
there was a suggestion of repressed
tears. But she spoke in a firm, calm
manner, after little silence, and with
scarcely perceptible unsteadiness in
her voice.
at is quite true, Mrs. Maynard. that
we were once friends-and more than
friends. II had dreamed that it would
result in my meeting Mr.. North, !
should never have come to you at all.
No, mean If could have foreseen that
our meeting would be what it was, for
confess that had expected something
very different II Fate should once more
throw us togetherl But 1t Is far better
TO have all illusions swept away than to
waste ones time in useless dreaming; is
1t not, ma chere?"
"My dear Myra!' 1t was the sweetest
and most delicate sympathy that was
mingled with the surprise in this low
breathed exclamation.
"oh, l am forcing a disagreeable con-
fldence upon you'll" cried Miss Hilary
with sudden little laugh Of self-dis-
dain. 81 forgot how uninteresting such
things are to third person. Pray for
give me, Mrs. Maynard"
mot forcing, my dear Miss Hilary
protested Mrs. Maynard, reaching NJ
quickly and clasping the fair hand that
hung listlsssly at Myra's side. "Did
not invite your confidence? But in
deed, / have no wish to intrude upor
any experience that is sorrowful or sa
cred; do not misunderstood the feeling
that prompted me to introduce this sub
ject." ~ tI.
Withdrawing her hand quietly after
moment, Miss Hilary drew a low hnssocl
forward into the glowing freight anc
seated herself near the chair in whicl
Mrs. Maynard was reclining. For |
moment she remained silent, with he
gaze once more dreamily intent upoi
! the fire, where a fairy castle, glowinl
from the very heart of the white Goals
reared its fantastic towers; then she be
gan slowly, in voice in which littl
effort was betrayed:
"It seems strange for me to speak 8
freely OF this affair, and yet. after all
there are sufficient reasons why
should conflde the story TO you. Sine
we have been thrown together unde
your roof and especially since MI
North has chosen suddenly to depar
from the cold formality Of q perfec

here two weeks ago, and assume the al
titudeof an old friend<4to which priv

children Of the cnucn.n..

In the Caucasus mountains there are
many wild, uncivilized tribes of peo-
pie whose terribly rough ways would
make the heart OF a civilized mother
stand still with fear II her child were TO
be treated as the epeople of the Caucasus
treat their children every day. The
first thing that a Caucasus baby is
given for plaything is dagger. This
is presented TO him as soon as he can
walk. For an hour or two each day
his mother spends her time teaching
him how to use the weapon, so that he
will some day become an expert. lie is
taught TO stab water 30 that 1t makes
no splash, and is made to hurl his dag
ger at mark again and again, until hC
cannot miss his aim. And all this Il
done during the time that other boy
are spinning tops and studying spell
ing book. When the Caucasian boy
grows up he knows just one thing
how to use dagger-while civilized
boys know--well, some Of them know
O great deal.
