want ~
When he rose an hour later, his prayer
had been answered, and a sweet smile
played about his lips.
II will do it this very night" he said
to himself, and then he went swiftly I'D
the grass walk. He did not enter his own
room, but passed through the cloisters to
a door near the chapel wall. He opened
this door, went in, and closed it after
him.. He was then in a small passage
which led to the barred door of the
chapel cell. 1t was perfectly dark, but
the Abbot put his hand on the wall and
felt his way to the end of the passage.
my son !" he whispered.
There was no answer, but tie Abbot
heard a rustling in the straw.
My son, he said, his voice trembling.
what l read to thee this morning was
all true, except that thy father did not
die In the desert. He is alive aud is here.
l am Charles Francis Apremont. | am
thy father"
There was no reply.
The Abbot put his hands upon the
barred door, and it swung open. The
look was broken. With a cry he entered
the cell. He felt the straw under his
feet, and he heard a rat scamper out into
the passage. The cell was empty.
The Abbot went quickly out through
Inc cloisters, across the wide court yard,
where the fountain was casting Jets of
silver In the moonlight, and on do wn the
paved walk to the great gates. He found
them locked and barred AZ usual; but as
he was turning away, he saw projecting
from the shadow of the further gate post
the loot Of a ladder. Then his heart
failed him utterly, for he knew that he
had lost his son.
he went slowly to the ladder, and trip
ping on his robe, he mounted step after
step, until he could see the world sur
rounding the great wall which for more
than twenty years had bounded his hori-
zon.
he saw the white road stretching away
70 Alglers, and the long lines of euoalyp
tus trees which bordered it and cast thei
SHADOWS across it. He saw cultivated
fields and patches of woodland, and far
OF in the distance he caught the twinkle
of a light in the window of a shepherds
hut. AS he gazed at these things, 80
strange and yet so well known, the 9
surged from his heart to his mind the
memories of the world. He saw himself
at the head of his regiment. He heard
the neiahing of the horses, and he saw
the CLINT of the moonlight on the sabrss
and the buckles. He heard the bugle, /;
he saw the fierce skirmish in the desert;
he saw the mosques and the citadel of
Biskra; and then-ab, then he saw
Miriam, the dancing girl, coming to meet
him under the palm trees.
He waved his hand toward the dis tant
city, and whispered: farewell, my son
God keep thee !'-Harper's Weekly.

waist line only. The full-fronts are
gathered at the neck edges at each
side of the center-front and arranged
over the lining fronts. The closing is
effected at the center with buttons and
~buttonholes, and the fullness at the
waist is held to a position by a girdle
of blue taffeta ribbon that is inserted
at the under-arm seams and carried
forward to the center, finishing with
stylish bow and long ends. Under
arm cores give to the gown a smooth
effect owe the hips, the back being
fitted with curved side and center-back
seams. The vatican is closely gathered
at the neck, and below this point falls
in graceful fullness to the lower edge
of the skirt, all seams being sprung
below the waist to give the required
~fullness. A e rolling collar COM
pletes. the neck.
The one-seamed sleeves are but mod
erately full, and are gathered at the
top and again at the wrists, where
they are confined by a band of inser-
ton finished with a frill of embroid-
cry. The mode is adapted to cotton
or wash fabrics, or to soft wooden,
flannel, challies, etc.
To make this gown for a lady in the
medium size will require nine yards Of
forty-four-inch material.

Centuries ago, people used to fear what
they called the pestilence. "Black
D ath" was the most terrible thing in the
world to them. They feared it as people
now fear the Cholera and Yellow Fever.
And yet there is a thing that causes
more misery and more deaths than any of
these. 1t is 80 common that nine-tenths
of all the sickness in the world is traeeable
to it. 1t is merely that simple, common
thing, constipation. 1t makes people
~listless, causes dizziness. headaches, loss
of appetite, loss of sleep, foul breath
and distress after eating. The little help
needed is furnished by DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. One pill is a gentle
laxative and two a mild catEartic. Once
used, always in favor. If you are care
less enough to let an INSCRIPTIONS
druggist sell you something on which he
makes more money, it is your fault
if you do not get we'll. Be sure and get

Duty has the virtue of making us feel

We measure success by accumulation.

position straps of the same width vel
vet having mitred points. The sleeves
are decorated at the wrists with a
band of velvet and deep frill of lace,
and a fancy belt encircles the waist.
The hat accompanying is brown straw
OF sailor shape, the severity Of which
is somewhat relieved by a yelling Of
spotted chiffon.
The blouse bodice is arranged over a
glove-f1tting lining that reaches to the
waist line and closes in the center
front. The fronts of the material are
smooth-ftting n the shoulders
and bust, with the fullness at the waist
arranged in gathers and dropping over
the narrow belt in slight blouse eff

and closes invisibly on the left side,
which finishes with a full rufle of but
ter-colored lace. The back is seamless,
with a scant fullness at the waist, laid
in close overlapping plaits.
The model shows an added basque

proper. These basques, or peplums,
promise to be exceedingly proper dur
