did not mean to be dishonest, yet it might
have resulted so. Many things might have
interviewed to prevent the return of the
money. oh, think how narrowly you have
escaped. Will this sorrow of mine call you
back from the fearful path into which you
have strayed? II so, am content. Give

Dora! sister darling! Yes, yes, hope
and pray for me. With Gods blessing,
will not give your loving, devoted heart an
additional pang. l vow here on my
Bonded knees, before heaven, to be once
more worthy Of your love. And 1 will
seek Gods forgiveness. You will not
suffer long. feel | know mercy will be
shown us. That cruel girls power must
give way"
All was over The severest trial OF all
was past. Dora had seen Harry Noble for
the last time, she believed. After receiv-
lug her note, giving him back his plighted
faith, Harry sought her presence, and
would not 90 until he had seen her, and
from her lips he had heard the words, ~
wish to be free"
He could obtain no explanations. But
from various hints, looks and insinuations
from Julia Garnet, Harry's mind was filled
with the idea that Dora had been trifling
with him until she found more accept
able sutton. And, indeed, the one had
been pointed out. Harry knew that one
had shown a decided preference for Dora;
and so, believing her false, he strove to drive
her from his heart.
Months passed by. The money was
returned to Julia Garnet. and Willie was
confronting his sister for her sacrifice.
Rumor whispered that Harry Noble and
Miss Garnet were engaged, any of the graft
tication it gave Harry's father who had
yielded to the wiles OF the scheming girl,
and grown very fond of her. Still time
rolled on, and Dora wondered why the
marriage did not take place. She had
never seen Harry since the day she sent
him from her. She had studiously avoided
him, and strove hard to forget him; or
when she thought of him, it must be only
as the future husband of another. By con-
tinual act of charity, mercy and kindness
she won partial forgetfulness Of her sorrows
Those who suffered came to her for COM

After Many Years

Twenty years ago T. NJ. Allen, Cali
houn county (Ala.) farmer. went west
to seek his fortune, leaving his wife
and several children at home. Finally
he drifted to San Francisco where he
reported he was doing well. After
two years his letters home ceased. and
his wife wrote to the San Francisco
authorities making inquiries about
him. They reported that he had been
attacked and killed by a band of
toughs. The wife mourned him as
dead until her death several years ago.
Three of the children still survive,
Mrs DIR. j. T. Acton and Mrs. NJ. L.
Garrett, of Admission, and W. FL. Allen,
who lives in Florida. Recently letter
came addressed to their mother 1t told
hat their father was alive; that he
had been assaulted twenty years ago
and had received injuries about the
head that deprived him of his reason;
that he has been since then an UNI
known inmate of hospital there. re-
Numbering nothing of his past life;
that he had recently regained his rea.
son almost entirely and had requested
the letter written. The letter fur
thermore stated that several acres Of
land which had been purchased by
Allen a few DAYS before his misfor-
