FROSTBURG, Md, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1894.

''Didn't know it was loaded ~ said
the man with something like a smile
on his cruel face.
May did not move.
Nov, go right straight and get the
money He raised his clenched
hand, as if to strike her, but desisted,
and again told her, with brutal words,
to get him the money.
"O," cried the little W w'n,n's heart
as she went slowly up tn stair>-''this
is all Willie AMI have? Must | give
it to this bad man -
His gruff voice decided the cruel
question for her. There were no other
loaded firearms in the house. She
could do nothing.
Going to little table, q took out
the parcel she had PLACED there so
carefully and handed it to the man
who had followed her upstairs. He
returned down the stepI-rather the
ladder, and going to the light, ev dent
ly with the intention of examining the
package, when he caught the sound
of wheels which May had thankfully
heard some moments before.
Hastily slipping the parcel in his
coat, with muttered oath he turned
his head to May, who was trembling
now. Taking off his battered old hat,
he said
"You are a brave, true woman.'
Then springlng into the cart, he and
his companion rapidly disappeared in
the darkness.
But Nay had caught Il CLEAN Of the
rutfian's eye as he applauded her
courage and faith which made her
think he had not always been what he
was.
But the wheels have stopped and
she hears her husbands c!,eery voice
crying to her and another voice-a
voice which she has not heard for
very, very long and-Ihe feels giddy
and faint, makes one effo to answer
the gladstone cali and falls on the floor
in swoOu.
She slowly opens her eyes AS she
does she sees Il tall, graceful maid at
! her side, and hears voice-that same
old voice crying
May, o, darling May" "and is folded
in close, long embrace.
When she tells her story, which she
does with difficulty, as Katie sits on
one side and Will on the other, and
they will persist in kissing and prais-
ing her so much
When she has done she says
"And o, darling. to think our money,
with which we We're to have built a
home, is gone-all gone ~
And for the first time for long weeks
May weeps unrestrainedly.
"Why, little woman, didn't you
know took it out of that parcel and
put it in bank this evening ?"
Katie Durtment's visit was one of
great mutual pleasure, and when at
length she returned home new JOY
had gladdenel the cabin. May does
not stay wholly alone anymore. A
baby boy now divides the time between
her hopes. fears, duties and delights.

1.-The Golden Rule"

1t is not really known when this
title was first applied to that fam liar
passage in tho Bible found in Mat
thew VIII, -, viz: "WhalSocver We
would that men should do TO You. do
We even so to them" There IS no mcn-
tion made of the expression in the
writings of the early fathers that
would show Il use of it in their day.
There are some, though, who con-
found it with the golden maxim" of
Confucius. But this is evidently Il
mistake. for the Chinese sage, While
dealing with somewhat the same idea.
brcathes into his maxim the spirit of
Selfishness. thus making it mere hu-
man phi losophy. For instance. here
is his passage: what you would not
wish done to yourself. that do not to
others" 1t is generally agreed that
the Golden Rule is an expression
of comparatively modern date.
