lives!'
Then, not waiting for his answer, she
quickly said:
Cullen, within this last month I've
beeh-wait little while"
And she broke into sobbing. After
recovering, she, sadly smiling, contin-
ued:
"Bless the good God for tears Now

been SO entirely unhappy that have
not only wished but prayed to be taken
out of this life sooner than have been
expecting. I don't know whether or
not you were very greatly surprised at
the contents of your fathers will, but
l must believe SO; because he seemed
to have got fully reconciled to you and
Hannah both, and / suspected was
more fond of you than of your brother.

sistent with the different relations we.
bear to Mr.. Amerson. Can we not,
Cullen?"
Certainly, sister. You may speak
with what freedom you feel to be pru-
dent, and what you say will have my
full respect and proper consideration.
So shall speak with you; and the first
I'd like to say is this: trust you bring
no message from brother, at least not
one in which is proposal to me of any
sort"

he had been thinking about making

HE did; but, my dear sister, doubt

me, dear, for all salxes."
"Then will. Father, when entire

that he had been kept from max

that he and I could settle the estate

"But, sister, Arthur Dabney, who is

CHAPTER VII.

One morning, about a month after
wards, Mrs. Wiley Amerson went in
her carriage to the upper place. On
the way thither she drove to Cullen's
gate, and, after calling out Hannah,
said that, if it was entirely convenient
TO the family, she would return in an
hour or two, dine, and spend portion
of the afternoon with them.
Certainly, Sister Julia. III be de-
lighted to have you; SO will Cullen,
am sure. How are you?"
Not at all well, Hannah, thank yvu;
but thought drive out here wouldn't
do any harm, and then / wanted to see
you and Cullen and have some talk
with you, him particularly"
Cullen was sent for in good time to
meet the visitor.
"Oh, Cullenl sister looks wretchedly.
We vast treat her just as if nothing
had happened-you especially"
''Why, of course, Hannah. Sister
doubtless knows that couldn't pos
sibly have anything against her, who

you don't mean, do you, Cullen,
that If she was to tell you that she had
persuaded brother to offer some sort
of a settlement that would-that
wouldn't seem to be too far out of the
way, that-that at least you wouldn't
consider it?''
I've told you, Hannah, and now
tell you again, that I'll take nothing
from brother as a gift, and nothing
under that win. l will take from
fathers estate, besides what he

virtually gave me in his lifetime,
nothing less than the half of it, and
wouldn't take that except for feeling
entirely convinced that father in
tended l should have it."
Poor Sister Julia! know her feel
ings will be sorely hurt"
''Oh, Hannah! dolet me be trusted to
treat sister Alright. declare you pain
me by what you show of your thoughts
and wishes in this thing"
Cullen, you know well enough that
don't wish for anything more than
what would be right. You have family,
and-but, as you don't like me to,
will not mention the subject again,
hard as it is to endure in silence such
state of things"
"Oh, well, my little girl, we will
have n o hard feelings with each other
about it. hope, and indeed I rather
believe, that it will be adjusted some
how, and that in way not expected
by anybody. I've put the case in Ar
thurs hands, and whatever is possible
he will do. AS for sister, she is too
just and sensible to take offense or feel
hurt by anything / feel as if owed to
myself to do or not
The meal passed pleasantly, despite
the feebleness of the guest. Her words
and manners, as always, were the nat
ural outcome of woma nhood that had
had good opportunities for its culture.
The shade upon her face, hardly deep
er than what long had been habitual,
indicated neither embarrassment nor
regret for any special cause. She did
not try to conceal her admiration for
the perfect health and excellent beauty
of Hannah.
'Oh, Hannah more than once she
said, you do look SO well! No wonder
you and brother think so much of each
other. As for Pearce, he is just per-
feet"
II thank you, sister," said Cullen,
''for all three of us. I think myself
that Hannah is hard to beat, and,
since the boy has come, we don't see
very well what we could do without
him"
II hope he'll become more and more
a comfort to you, brother"
After dinner she said:
Hannah, dear, / want to have some
little special conversation with you
both together and separately. Perhaps
I'd as well have it first with brother
if you and he please"
Certainly, Sis Julia. I've got some
things to look after in the yard and
garden, and will leave you and Cullen
for awhile. Don't hurry. You and 1
can have our chat at any time. wish
you could spend the night with us. We
would do our best to make you COM
Portable"
"Oh, dear, no, child l can't do that.
Well call you after awhile"
AS Hannah, leading the child, was
going out, Julia said:

have in each other, and what another

CHAPTER TX

One morning Cullen SAID.
Hannah, it's been near three weeks
since Sister Julia was here, and you
haven't been in to see her yet. Don't
you think it's time?"
He had got to suspect-and this was
true-that she was waiting for him to
suggest the visit.
"I've been thinking of it, Cullen" I"
she answered; "but somehow I've kept
putting it off III go in day or two,
If you think ! oughtn't to delay
longer"

Do You Remember Him?

The Rev. j. H. Borgess., pastor of
the Congregational church at Cresco,
has suddenly cut his connection, or
had it cut, with the church and left
town. 1t seems there are certain
reasons not yet made public why he
was bounced or resigned. He had
borrowed considerable money of his
friends and could or would not pay.
Some years ago he came here and
preached sample sermon or two and
was engaged as a pastor for the Con-
gregational church. He was q slick
talker and induced the society to adj
vance him $500 on his first years sal
airy. He then left and agreed to re-
turn on a certain day to begin his
passionate. But he failed to return or
return the money and gave no reason
for SO doing. DR.. Mixer went to Wis
consin to see him but he stood him
off. Then Capt. Powers went after
him and if he had not got the money
he would have brought back the gen.
tleman. The Capt. preferred the
moneg to body and he got it. Bog
gees or Bogus, as DR.. Mixer said his
name should be spelled, was an elo-
quent man and took where ever he
went. He will probably not continue
in the ministry all his life as the peo-
pie will learn that other qualifications
than mouth and fine address are
requisite for a successful minister.
