couple Of years afterwards did Mrs
Morrison remember that in his youth
Mr.. Morrison had run away from home
while boy to serve in the civil war
under an assumed name. Then the
probability as to the course which
would naturally be pursued by the
man who had performed such service
for his country and who had a consti-
tutional objection to work suggested
itself to her. A series of judicious in
quiries at the Old Soldiers home in
Washington revealed that this gallant
defender of his country was reaping
his reward for such service by being
supplied with new blue uniform
every time the old one got beyond
mending and spending his days sleep
ing and consuming the regulation
supply of tobacco. After that either
she or Frank sent him an occasional
banknote from another city, which, it
is presumed, he spent for more to-
bacco. And so endeth Mr.. Morrison.
And through all Mrs. Morrison had
never lost the one trait which always
appeals strongest to the masculine
sensibilities. Be the woman ever SO
plain, or more beautiful than a god
dess, without that characteristic she
does not appeal to man. 1t is her
woman'S desire to love and be loved
and have some one to cling to. Yet
in her heart of hearts Mrs. Morrison
lacked that one thing, some one to
love her. And when Mr.. Smith, whose
suit had once before proved so I'M
prosperous, again crossed her path
and again laid his heart at her feet
she had said yes with good grace, as
though two men had not already
married her to be taken care of, and
so she came into her ordinary name
her house in it's row of other houses
just like it, and the ordinary lot of be-
ing loved.
The sun no longer was reaching in
doors after her. The shadow had
crept out until the descent of the steps
was shaded. Mrs. Smith had finished
Smelling her peas and had been for
some moments sitting with her hands
folded idly in her lap. She started as
the back gate clicked and Mr.. Smith
came across the grass plot and up the
steps. His wife rose and tumbled the
peas into a kettle of water boiling on
the gas stove and then went out to
meet him and be kissed Chicago

ThP COlOnpHS History

The ColoneTs History.
A shadow had fallen between the
father and son.
After that failure of the garden
party, settled gloom was to be seen
on Lancelot's face Col. Vanbrugh pre-
tended to treat the matter lightly and
made one or two jests on the defec-
tion of his expected guests; but they
were received by his son in so cold and
rigid a silence that he did not at
tempt to continue them. Lancelot
thought him callous and fancied that
he took no notice of the persistent
silence in which he himself was
plunged; but Col. Vanbrugh was in
reality keenly observant and somewhat
distressed. 1t was at the close of a
dinner, during which Lance had
scarcely spoken or eaten, that the
father broke through his usual reserve

WHAT DESTROYS OUR STREETS.

Without doubt the heavy carting and
draying of modern times have much to
do with the perishableness of modern
pavements. The hardest rock itself
cannot long withstand the continuous
grind Of heavy loads supported upon
narrow tires. To this foolish and de-
structive fashion of building carts and
drays designed for the transportation
of great weights the bulk of failure
in roodern pavements is due. 1t must
be remembered that these celebrated
roads of antiquity were never sub
jected to similar tests, and that the
smaller the surface called upon to
sustain great weight the less naturally
will be the resisti"e power offered, and
the greater will be the pressure upon
the point of contact. If any one will
take the trouble to ascertain the weight
of an average load whose like is hauled
by hundreds through all our chief
cities daily, measure the width of the
tire and then figure the pressure per
square inch to which a pavement is
exposed, based upon the fraction of
circle which touches a straight line,
lie will have a better idea of what
road-builders of the present day have
to contend with. This width Of cart
wheels and tires should be regulated
by law with view to municipal econ
omy, and each commonwealth should
endeavor by legislation to enforce
honesty in the laying of foundations
for every foot of pavement used

her grandson came ushering into the
yard a second visitor. The little one
had heard the doorbell ringing, while
the other three were to much inter
ested in the foregoing conversation to
notice this noise, and had gone to ad-
nit the visitor. When the stranger
appeared before her Mrs. Morrison
gave a gasp OF recognition and sank

was Mr.. Morrison.
This peculiar family reunion was
always too confused in the memory OF
those present for any one to recall
just what did take place. Frank rec

him that, having heard where his son
was, and lIIled with an not unnatural
curiosity to see what sort of an off

hunted Frank up. After Mr.. Colder

beckon, and Mr.. Morrison departed.
Only after he was really gone did it
occur to any one to wonder where he
had come from and whittier he was
bound.
1t was too late then, and kilograms
east and west, north and south failed
to reveal any trace of this prodigal
father. Frank reproached himself

need, but it was useless. Not until a

him conspicuous among the Democrat

In this campaign the existence of
