B1RN4NeHAM HERALD SUNDAY. DECEMBER 2e 1895

You see the low wages in Europe com pei the mother to aid the father in mak- ing the livelihood. To avoid much mis- fortune and evil these homes have been established, which will certainly aid in the development of good morals. Sev- eral visits paid to these places made deep impression upon me. There the chill dren are surrounded by good influences, good, honest women taking care of them. The sting of receiving charity, which probably would cause many a mother to shrink from carrying her child there, is removed, as each child pays 25 cents, about 5 cents a day, receiving for that dinner and supper.
 I could go on all day telling you of in- teresting institutions seen, but I am afraid I have taxed your patience al- ready and imposed upon your good na- ture. i=a
 The infantine schools are somewhat like our kindergarten, modified and supplemented by Pestallozzi ideas on primary education. They are an adapta- tion of the two systems to the needs of the community. A two days visit at one of these schools was most interest ing and delightful I wish I could take time to tell you all about it.
 Another fine institution that we find all over Switzerland and in some parts of France and Germany are the chreches, or cradles, places where babies from three months and upward are received and taken care of during the day when the mothers are out at work.

CHAPTER XIV.

The sensation caused by the arrest
OF Mr.. Lacy, the paragon of paymas-
ters' clerks, as he had been described
in one of his letters Of recommended
ton, ended not with the going down OF
the sun that day, nor many thereafter.
Graves himself sat in state bordering
on collapse for a few hours after the
occurrence.
'sWhy, that gentleman was recon-
mended by half the senate, and almost
insisted on by my bondsmen," said he,
with tears in his eyes 'sWhat will
they say to me? Why, Rand, he ac-
tua11y had to be named as my clerk
before l could be confirmed at all"
To which the imperturbable inspector
general responded: Eyes. no doubt.
You see, Graves, they had to get him
out OF Washington; he knew too much;"
and when Graves besought him to say
why he suspected the paragon, Rand
serenely answered he didn't; he had
suspected him a month ago, perhaps,
but now he knew; so should erybOdy
else just as soon as the case could be
brought to trial. But meantime other
entertainment was provided for the
cavalry. Even while Lacy was fran
tically sending kilograms and letters to
officials of high degree all over the
east, demanding investigation, vindi-
cation, etc, there came an order for
the immediate detachment of three OF
Tintop's companies to take the field far
to the northwest. D troop went as a
matter Of course. This time Schramm
did not have to ask ''to go along NIT
dem fellers." 1t was their veteran cap
tain who was left behind.
Just as Perry Thornton had told his
father, the men OF the troop, thankful
for, yet declining, the proffered sub
scription of the officers, had ordered
from the east as handsome an outfit of
belt, helmet, spurs, shoulder and saber-
knots as money could buy, Connie
alone of the household being in the
secret. Her father never again had
asked to see Thornton's letter, and she,
who once had been SO insistent, ceased
all mention of it or of it's writer. The
glow of delight with which the cE&ld
had received and read that jolly, warm
hearted, yet utterly unsentimental
note had opened the fathers eyes no
more than it had her own. Constance
Morgan stepped from girlhood to
womanhood in the day and hour which
taught her how, little by little, there
had been kindled in her heart tiny
flame of tenderness that burned as in
cense at the altar-an offering at the
shrine wherein the boy sat installed,
the hero of a girls imaginative and
impulsive nature. With what burn
ing cheeks did she own it to her
self! With what womanly shame
did she realize that she had betrayed
it ere she herself fairly knew of it's ex-
istence! She!-an, army girl, a sol
dier's daughter, with Lot and Billy to
| look after, with dear old daddy to
nurse and comfort-she, Constance
Morgan, daring to indulge in idle day
| dreaming over a boy in his first uni
form! 1t was simply shameful. She

could have scratched the eyes out of
any woman who saw her porting over
that letter, had there been any there
to see. She ragged within herself to
think that for that moment she had
been blind and deaf to her fathers
presence and lost in reading Thorn
tons laughing words. No one on earth
ever knew what pangs of maiden1y
wrath and shame Little Mother en-
dured for several days, but whenever
after that initial exhibition Morgan
looked for further symptom of senti-
mental regard for the absent Heuten-
ant he failed entirely, and wished that
he might write himself an ass for ever
having believed it.
The presentation came off at the as
sembly-room one lovely evening in
July, Sergt. LETTERS being spokesman
for the troop and utterly routing Nor
gan, who knew not how to formulate
reply to words so rich with soldierly
trust and affection. Close behind the
speaker stood Corporal Schramm, his
glistening eyes fixed on Comics beau
tiful, blushing face, with its swimming
eyes, for LETTERS voice was tremulouS
when he went on to say how for ten
ong years the old hands had soldiered
under Morgan and never once could re-
call a harsh or an unjust word. never
once day when his voice or heart or
hand had failed them when they looked
to him for leadership or aid. The old
fellow was worn and i'll and heavily
laden, and this unlooked-for tribute
from his men completely floored him
ssWhS, men," he stammered, "I-al-
ways stood by you as matter Of

stocks, wheat, wine and women all
combined against him. He had to COW
er the money distracted to pay his
losses and put up more margins. He
owed still more, and his creditors, gam
blers like himself, said: PAY or we
peach" There was just one way to
''raise the wind" without reaping the
whirlwind; the paymaster must be
robbed on the very next trip; and the
plan was to have the train ''held up"
until the sudden move of the cavalry
suggested an easier way. Out went
two of his sportsmen friends with let
tiers of introduction to the hunter her
NIT in the Tomahawk range. Down
they went with him as their guide and
companion and scout. Cavalry over
coats and SLOUGH hats and equipments,
such as were worn in the field in those
days, were to be had almost anywhere.
Armed with their bogus dispatch they
rode to Minden, lodging Sergt. Do
lan's escort from Bear fork to Alkah.
Leaving their horses with the boy at
the bridge, the three men received the
paymaster and Lacy at the station to
which he had been lured, and the rest
was easy until it came to get
ting away with the money. The
hermit forbade their returning by
way of his hut, as they would be
trailed thither and he and his boy in
stant1y suspected

his first trip west, and out in Missouri
he began to get quite flip. He had a

and the.

the blue overcoat, and there
In all the glossy sheen of the new,
snug-ftting blouse, with the triple
bars of his sergeant's chevron's, the
athletic frame of their soldier guest
stood revealed. and they made him sit,
and Connie poured his tea and hustled
in and out OF the kitchen, and Schramm
sat with his old captain and talked by
the hour of the troop, and how well
JeHers held his own now as first ser
geant, and what fine soldier Treacy
was, and yet-he did not say how or
why, but fast as their term Of service
expired the old hands tool. their dis
charge, and then 'ttook ON in some
other troop. And all the time he
talked, whatsoever she fitted in or
out or by, the blue eyes would follow
and were full OF light and reverence
and watchfu1 care. Tt was as he
walked slowly away. two hours later,
eagerly promising to come again, that
those same blue eyes were clouded with
deep anxiety -Morgan was failing SO
fast
The trial, he told them, was to begin
forthwith; but it never did. In some
of Lacy's appealing letters to former
employers in official station in Wash
ington reference was made to the malig-
nant hatred of Col. Rand as the inspira-
ton of all their proofiess and damna-
BILE accusations, and these getting to
the war department and so coming to
Rand for remark, the placid colonel
finally waxed indignant. 1t was bad
enough, said he, that Lacy should be
an expert thief and blackleg, but that
to cover his own tracks and those of
his pals he should seek the ruin of in
nocent men was rather too much of a
good thing. Then the general came
back from the field about this time;
Rand made his report, and on went a
four-page letter to Washington reciting
briefly the evidence now in their pos
session as affecting Lacy. This was
shown to the ex-clerks friends at
court, and two letters from the east,
after being opened and examined by
the sheriff, were handed in to Lacy's
cell the day after Schramm's arrival.
That night the prisoner asked for more
paper and permission to write till late,
and when morning came the neatly
folded document proved to be the final
statements of the clerk who had cashed
so many papers of that name within
the past year-but would cash no more.
What was left of Lacy lay stiffening
on the narrow cot. The night-watch
had not even heard him groan.
A fellow of much inventive genius
was Lacy, and of uncommon useful
ness until luck turned. Cards, mining

1.-THE long day closes.''
The thrushes sing in every tree:
The shadows long and longer grow;
Broad sunbeams lie athwart the lea:
The oxen low;
Round roof and tower the swallows slide,
And slowly slowly sinks the sun.
At curfew-tide,
When day Is done.
Sweet Sleep. the night-time's fairest child,
Ger all the world her pinions spreads;
Each flower, beneath her influence mild.
Fresh fragrance sheds;
The owls, on silent wings and wide,
Steal from the woodlands. one by one,
At eurfew-tide,
When day Is done.
No more the changing rookery rings
With voice of many a noisy bird;
The startled wood-dove's gathering wings
No more are heard;
With sounds like whispers family sighed,
Soft breezes through the tree-tcps run,
At curfew-tide,
When day is done.
So may 1t be when life is spent,
When ne'er another sun can rise.
Nor light one other JOY present
To dying eyes;
Then softly may the spirit glide
To realms of rest, disturbed by none.

When day is done.

Distribution of supplies.

The distribution of supplies of seed
wheat, clothing, food, etc, is progress
ing in western counties, and the dis
tributing agencies are overwhelmed
with applications from all classes
Some of these, it is reported, come from
people with $40. 900 worth of property
On the other hand, many of the appeals
are really pitiful, as the settlers drive
10 to Is miles in an old wagon and get
two bushels of potatoes, a bushel of
wheat, and a little pork or beef.
