the lowest kind. This horror swal
lowed up all the rest. 1t so dwelt with
him and maddened him that at last he
rushed to his desk and wrote the fol-
lowing brief and hasty letter to Bell:
NO. Gore terrace. Denmark Hill.
DEAR MISS MAYNARD; Your mother knows
me to be inn ,cent of the infamous charge for
which Mr.. Maynard has dismissed me. I ask
her only to assure you Of my innocence.
Faithfully yours, HARRY LYNN
Within five feverish minutes he had
written, addressed and posted this note
in the pillar across the way. Many
hours must yet pass before he could
even hope for a reply, and these he
spent mostly pacing the little room
backward and forward, wondering how
his letter would be received and how
answered. When at last the answer
did come it was as different as possible
from any that he had imagined. 1t
was from Mrs. Maynard and ran thus:
DEAR Mr.. LYNN: 1t was only after Bell had
shown me your letter that learned from my
husband that you were dismissed. He did not
wish to speak OF it. he said. for your fathers
sake. OF course, know you 20 be innocent
and SO does Bell, but we both wish your pride
had allowed you to explain to Mr.. Maynard
how you came by that ten-pound note. Bell
and mean to call to see you the first thing in
the morning. when am sure you will give us
the explanation your pride prevented you Civ
ing my husband. Bell joins me in kindest re-
CARDS Ever yours. most sincerely,
MARGARET MAYNARD
He was up and breakfasted early.
and then paced the room for days, as it
seemed to him, before the expected cab
drew up at last at the door. He hur-
ried down to let them in and to usher
them upstairs himself. On opening the
door he stood confronted with Mr..
Maynard!
Harry" he said, and it was the first
time he had ever called him by his
Christian name, IL came to apollo
gize to you.'
Harry took and shook the offered
hand as in a dream.
AFTER Mrs. Maynard had written to
you it occurred to her that the ten
pound note was the one she had given
You. She had sent the maid out to get
a note instead of ten sovereigns to put
in the envelope, and the maid, when
she returned. handed her the note she
had just stolen from my desk. Upon
being taxed with the theft and threat
ened with a search of her boxes. she
confessed and gave up the three other
notes. 1t was noble of you not to in
form on my poor wife. he added, put
ting his hand on Harry's shoulder.
''She and Bell insisted that l should
bring you back with me, they were so
sure you would forgive me-"
What speech from the saturnine
Mr.. Maynard! But Harry found when
he had become one of the family that
his curt and cutting tongue belied a
kind and generous heart. = London

ing back as from blow.
Tut" retorted the old gentleman,
with scathjng scorn. Don't make a
further fool of yourself and me. Is this
your writing, sir?" pointing to the in
dorsement of a ten-pound note which
lay before him on the desk.
Yes Harry stammered. for the note
was the one he had received in an en-
velope from Mrs. Maynard
Then where did You get that notc?''

closed fist.

You lie. sir: you lie, you lie!" re-
iterated the old gentleman, really be-
side himself with fury. II had written
down the numbers of that note and of
the three other five-pound notes which
have disappeared with it. There it is;
there it isr' thrusting out the sheet Of
note paper with the numbers noted on
it toward Harry.
You'll be sorry for this, SIR" Harry
cried, white and trembling.
Sorry. This is too much!'' cried the
old gentleman, starting furiously from
his chair and making for the bell.
Just, however, as he reached it he
paused for moment and said then,
more calmly, turning to face Harry:
$50! Go! And thank God you are your
fathers son.
Harry, having stared blankly at him,
muttered: You thank God that you
are her father
Then. without another word, he
quilted the room and the house.

lieving him to be a common thief of

REV. |. W. HILL.
Pastor Methodist Church, Accord,
N. ", says cancerOus diseases
can be cured.

ACCORD, N. Y.-Under the old
school method it was believed that
any disease of cancerous growth
could never be cured. The surgeons
knife was resorted to, but the old
trouble was sure to break out again.
Since the discovery of DR.. Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy, all this has
been changed-the action of Favorite
Remedy upon the system leaves no
trace of poison in the blood, the seeds
of disease are expelled and lost health
restored. A notable case of the eff
cacy of DIR. David Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy is that of the Rev. l. w. Hill
of this town. Some years ago he was
suffering with a cancer of long stand
ing, on his lip, and finally concluded
to have it removed. In speaking of
his case Pastor Hill said: about
three weeks previous to having the
operation performed, purchased DIR.
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy and con-
tinued taking it for some time after
the cancer was removed. Ten long
years have passed since then and no
trace of the ugly thing has returned.

Tho First Hairdresser.

The first appearance In modern Europe
of tho male hnirdresser was not until the
eighteenth century, when Legros Frederic
and Leonard made their calling as famous
as Vattel or Soyer did theirs. Legros, in
deed, began life as a cook and opened an
academy for hairdressers, in which he
based his teaching upon the proportion of
the head and the style of the face till in
1865 he published his great work on
"L'Art de la Coiffure des Danes Fran.
caises," which specified as many ways OF
dressing the hair as the artist Of the other
line discovered for the cooking Of eggs.
The 300 fashions Of the wife of Marcus
Aurelius were cutdone, and before the end
of the century the triumph of vaccination
was celebrated by the coiffure l'inocula-
tion, composed of a serpent, club, ris-
ing sun and an olive cree, and frigate in
full sail was set forth in the coiffure la
Belle Poule. The au pare Anglais made
of tho hair foundation for figured land
scapes, adorned with meadows, trees and
sheep.

The Exposition Chimes.

The chime to be erected at the Cotton
States and International exposition con-
sists of 13 bells, varying in well graded
degree of succession, from the largest d,
8, 400 pounds, to the smallest + sharp, 900
pounds, the aggregate total weight to be
about IA, O60 pounds, exclusive of the oak
frame and other hangings. The tones Of
the 1S bells respectively are:
d, e, sharp; 6, G sharp; A, B, G, @
sharp; d, d sharp; E, f sharp.
This is very wide range and affords
facilities for playing thousands Of different
tunes, from the simplest lullaby to heavy
sacred tunes. Not all the bells are used in
every tune. In some only six bells are
used, while in others eight, and in few
as many as ten are used, and only those
are used which make the necessary scale
Of notes or tones which are required for
the tune to be played. Under favorable
atmospheric conditions the chimes may be
heard distinctly and the tune recognized
four miles away. The ordinary range is
about two miles. though at times 1t is, Of
course, moro limited even than this, ow-
ing to heavy fogs or high winds.

Peter the Great of Russia had the
typical face of Russian peasant. A
short, thick nose, with large nostrils,
heavy brows, full, sensual lips, wide
mouth and high cheek bones were among
his most prominent features. His head
was almost round and showed by its
width at the ears that combativeness of

Church Ordinances.

you, "can't man be saved without going
to church," reply, there are men, ! sup

means by which we are to be brought to
God and If truth affects us when we are
alone it affects us more nightly when we
are in the assembly, the feelings of others
emphasizing our own feelings. The great
law of sympathy comes into play, and a
truth that would take hold only with the
grasp of sick man beats nightly against
the soul with thousand heart throbs.
When you come into the religious circle

one purpose--to find the way to Christ.

In looking at the snow white sails Of the
Defender, that now lies off the coast, like a
tired bird resting for a long flight, one sees
only the snowy sheets, the smooth taut ropes
and the polished hull rising like the bronze
breast of an arctic bird, but underneath
all this there is trim active human life
going on which animates the life above, and,
like the heart Of soldier, makes the boat
the true warrior that it is.
The interior OF the Defender seems large
for the boat, because it is so well planned
that not an inch Of space is lost to the
crews use, and in the cabin not foot is
given up TO senseless furniture that trips the
yachtsman without making him any more
comfortable.
There are only three compartments in the
living part of the boat. There is the sailors
