Ten years passed by and brought with
them great changes to I'rynmar. Sir
Ralph and Lady ErSkinc slept with their
ancestors in the family vault. Lady Hat
ton was sole mistress of the Hall and of
the large fortune left by her father. She
heard once from Magdalon Hurst; and
then n silence. deep and unbroEcn as the
silence of death. hid the mother Of Lady
lIutton's ward from all who had ever
known her. The letter was a brief One.
stating that she had found her husband,
aul. in accordance with her promise,
never told him to whom she had coniidcd
her child. IIilda had been adopted. She
said, by a lady who did not wish her name
to be known; he seemed quite Indifferent
about it, and asked no questions.
Lady Hutton read correctly enough
that a broken heart was revealed in every
sad word Of that letter. Magdalcn Hurst
sent no address; she asked no questions,
and Lady Hutton never heard from her
again.
Day by day Lady Hutton grew fonder
of her adopted daughter. Iiilda was
taught to call her mamma, and in every
way she was treated as her own child.
No one knew the girls history. and
even among the servants only a small
number knew that she was Lady IIutton's
adopted daughter-most people believed
her to be the lady's WI child. She was
called Miss Hutton, of Hrynmar. and il
was generally known that she would ia
herit Lady Hutton's fortune.
No question ever came TO Hilda us to
what she would do with her life. its
calm. simple pleasures sufiiced. she never
looked beyond them; but Lady Hutton
was ambitious for her. Day by day she
watched the growth of that wondrous
loneliness, and built her hopes upon it,.
The world she had given up and ceased
to care for should smile upon her ward.
She spared no pains over her education.
and she rarely allowed her to be long out
of her presence.
AS soon as she reached her seventeenth
year Lady Hutton intended taking her 10
London. With her beauty and prospects.
lovers in plenty would surround her. and
from them Lady Hutton decided she
should choose the noblest and the best.
but not one word Of these plans did she
ever mention to Iiilda.
Her heart will be untouchcd,' thought
Lady Hutton; her fancy will be free. If
| use my influence, she will marry whom
| please, and that will be the most cli@i-
bic man who presents himself. She will
be something different from the general run
of young ladies. | shall have 10 trouble
some love affairs with her
With her talents and wealth Lady Hut
ton could do much, but She could not con
troll fate. Once, and once only, had the
girl asked any questions about her par
entS.
Mamma she said one day TO the
stately mistress of Brynmar, Il am not
your very own daughter, am l."
"Who has been talking such nonsense
to you, IIilda:" was the impatient qucs-
ton.
"Elpsie, your old housekecper,' replied
Hilda. "She says ] am your adopted
daughter, and that | have another mother
living away from here"
The Dakota chief. (Gann Valley, Buffalo County, S.D.) 18??-1913, 1895-04-25

Lady Hutton's eyes fell upon the child;
then her pale face grew whittier. and her
hands trembled.
rs that your child, Magdalen:" she
asked. rs that Stephen Hurst's daugh-
ter"
When Magdalcn replied that it was,
Lady Hutton led her to her own room.
where hung the portrait of 4 lovely little
girl, not unlike the one who gazcd upon
il.
"Scc," said she, "your child is like mine,
Magdalen; you must give her to me; look
ut the violet eyes and the golden hair"
There was, indeed, some faint rcscm-
hlance between the two fair little faces.
You want money, Magdalen,' said
Lady Hutton-'money to take you to
your husband; YOU shall have it-as much
as you like to ask me for-if you will give
me your child. Let her be mine"
At first Magdalen Hurst was deaf to all
entrcaties; she would not hear of it: then
the master-passion of her life came into
play. He whom she loved had sent for
her, and sent again. She yielded at
length. and consented that Lady Hutton
should adopt her child. 1t was n hard
struggle; how hard none knew but her
self.
1t was arranged ut last to give little
Iiilda u trial; she was to visit Lady Hut
tom; if she appeared happy and contentcd
her mother agreed to leave her there; if
not, she would forego the great wish of
her heart. But Hilda was quite content
ed; she liked her new and pretty dresses,
the grand house. and, above all, the state
ly lady who was so cold to everyone else,
md 50 kind to her; for Lady Hutton
loved the child with a love beyond all
words, and when that little golden head
rested on her heart it seemed as though
her own Maud was there again. Better,
a thousand times, the pattering of little
feet than the hushed calm of Il house
where no child lives; better the musical
prattic of a strangers voice than the UNI
broken silence; better the clasp Of those
tender little arms, the kisses Of the sweet,
childish lips, than the haunting memories
that were never still.
So for three weeks Magdalcn Hurst
lived alone in her little cottaSc. and then
consented TO part with her child. The
conditions Lady Hutton made were hard
ones, but she would not alter them. llilda
was to be rs her own daughter: never
again was Magdalen Hurst to claim her,
or call IIilda her child; never, let what
would happen.
Lady Hutton was liberal in her own
way. She did not spare gold. and Mag
dalcn Hurst left England amply provided
for, and never saw the face of her foster
sister again.

UNWiSE ~POSTPONEMENr.
~Neglccting a Duty Which Ought to BE
Done Now.

On general principles there is no
more foolish method of taking life
easy than by dcferring an obvious
duty. Especially foolish is tie per
son who postpun"S the work of cleans
Ing his blood. There are many rca-
sons why this work should be done in
the spring. This is the cleansing sea-
son. and the blood needs cleansing be-
fore all things else. That tired feel
ing IS due to Il yitiatpd condition of the
vital luid. The pimplcS and other
elnptlonS which appear are indications
that the blood has become loaded with
impurities which should be expelled at
once. In no other wa can health be
maintained. Now there is but one true
blood purifier prominently in the pub
lie eye to-day. and that is Hoods Sar-
Saparilla. BY taking Il few bottles of
this great blood cleansing medicine
the bodily health can be built up so
that when the warm weather comes
the system will be able to resist the
debiliating effects of the heated sea
son. Those who start with good health
IN the spring. given them by a thor
ouSh cleansing of the blood by Hoods
Sarsaparilla, will be likely to pass
through the summer without serious
illness, and when the autumn comes
they will find that they are supplied
with strength which they had never
known at that season before. The
work Of cleansing the blood in the
spring is II of the most important
duties or the season, because pure
blood means good health, and good
health is essential both to happiness
Il to the highest usefulness in the
world.

Live Within Your Means.

A great deal of unpleasantness and
so-called misfortune is caused by -liy-
ing so that the expenditures exceed
the income. 1t is doubtless true that
there are cases in which circumstances
render ii next TO impossible to have q
surplus above earnings but great

rainy day. could do so if they would
so determine aud act on the determi-
nation.
We believe that false pride is large
ly the cause of extravaganza or at
least of the expenditure of money that
could have been kept. Too mary peo-
pie seem to think they must keep up

way of style of living they strain

acknowledge their financially en-
barasscd condition, make an honest

get a fresh start in life.
The young man should make 1t a
point to save some Of his earnings, no
matter how small they may be. If his
salary is small his expenses must be
small. The business firm whose ex-
penditures constantly exceed its in
come is sure sooner or later to go to
the wall. This ia just as true of the
family or the individual. 1t is neces-
sary to keep very close accounts, and
if it is discovered that the balance is
on the wrong side of the ledger, there
must either be some retrenching or
some increased earnings till the bal

On the Watch.

Rutherford b. Hayes, who once en-
aced the part of the President of the
United States, was quite saving aud
thrifty man; but some things which
impressed the multitude rs signs of
meanness were really nothing but
ordinary prude nee. For example.
people used to wonder why he would
persist, while drawing salary of
$4,000 a year, in wearing silver
plated Waterbury worth possibly So.
He was aware that his practice was
known, and any establishment mani
tested amused him instead of making
him angry. In answer to look of
surprise he would say: II think that
is pretty plain watch for President
of the United States to carry, bat it is
good American make"-as if assum-
ing that this fact would counterfeit
the effect of the cheapness Of the
article. The truth was that almost
weekly a deputation of Western ln-
dams called upon him, always bring
ing presents of some kind to the
Great Father. Of course, he was ex-
pected to give something ia return
and tho object was TO find something
cheap at the same time acceptable.
Watches were novelty to the Indi-
ans, aud to present q chief with q
watch which the Great Father himself
had been carrying always impressed
him greatly. Having discovered this,
and not careiDg to distribute gold
watches or even silver ones, Mr..
Hayes hit upon the expedient of buy
ing nickel watches at $50 dollars a
dozen, and always made it convenient
10 have one with him against an
emergency.-Picayune.
