THREE FAMOUS WOMEN.

Ano"n to the World as Models Of Great
Virtue.
In stately picture gallery of an old
mansion in Norfolk, England, there
hangs among the fair English faces of
the mothers of the race the portrait
OF dark young girl, with black hair
and sad, yet defiant eyes. On the
frame are engraved the words:
"Motoake, daughter of the mighty
Prince Powhatani, Emperour of Vir-
gln1a: converted Christian, and mar
ried to the Worshipful Thomas Rolf.
Aged twenty-ome, 1867
This was the heroine Pocahontas
Tradition states that she bore herself
we'll as an English matron and the
mother of English children.
At Burghley castle, the seat of the
Cecils, in Somerset, hangs portrait of
a red-cheeked, innocent girl of sixteen,
which is marked as ''The Peasant Coun-
TESS" She was Sarah Higgins, the
daughter of a laborer, whom the earl
saw and loved for her goodness and
simplicity. He married her, and his
torians assert that with her children
came new and robust virtues into the
family line.
The house of Hapsburg, the Oldest
rejgning family in Europe, preserves
the portrait of a. peasant woman who
was the wife of one of the first counts,
goo years ago. To her, it is said, they
owe the valor and strength of body
and mind which won them their throne.
1t is singular fact that the peculiar
features of this peasant ancestress are
still seen in her descendants.
The Virtues of these three women,
being set ON pedestal of rank, have
been known to the "r*orld for genera
tions. Yet it is Wholesome and cheer
ing to remember how many millions OF
nameless women as good and true and
helpful as they, sleep in unknown
graves, while the work which they did
lives. God has their record, whether
they died princesses or peasants.
There is homely old proverb which
is worth remembering: whether you
cut your swathe ON the upland o.. low
land does not matter. It is hoy you
cut it that counts when wages are
paid. Companion.

every time they caught sight of him,
and soaring the poor old man so that
he left the country and never did come
| back till this spring. And now, as 1
say, he's afraid of everybody, except
father, and he lives all alone in a cave
down there in the Pocket, farming that
little patch of land for living"
"And what became of the heavy Vi

"That's what makes it so bad. When
he was sure that Mr.. Kilgrow had left
the country he told it around that he
had bought the farm in the valley; and
when the new town company came
along, he sold it to them, took the
| money and went away"
Thorndyke's studies in the law had
| necessarily been the reverse of prac-
teal, but as he sat up and reflectively
nursed his knees he was surprised at
the readiness with which the lawyers
point of view suggested itself.
"How large was this farm in the
valley?" he inquired, after few mo-
ments of thoughtful silence. ~~~+' -.

not because she was afraid to trust
Thorndyke.s but rather for the reason
that the daughter Of James Duncan
could not well help inheriting some
thing of his cautious habit. At length
she said: Perhaps you could think
of some way to help him; Tlltell you

about it at home till after I've told

They retreated few steps from the
brow of the cliff and Elsie sat down upon
a log, while Philip stretched himself
upon the grass at her feet. :@s5ai
1.-The trouble commenced long time
ago, when the mountaineers used to
make whisky and sell it to the valley
people," she began. 'They knew it
was against the law, but don't think
they cared much about that, and, amy
way, they kept on till one time the
revenue officers raided the mountain.
At that time John Kilgrow was living
on little farm over yonder where you
see the old orchard, and for years he
had been in the habit of making few
gallons of apple brandy from the apples
that he couldn't sell. I'm sure he never
thought he was doing wrong; and
fauter says he never sold any of the
brandy, though he used to give it away,
sometimes, to his neighbors. Besides
the place up here, he owned q farm in
the big valley, and that was rented out
to man by the name of Gates.

name; he used to encourage the noun
taineers to make whisky, and then he
would help them sell it in the valley.
He was owing Mr.. Kilgrow two or
three years. back rent at the time of
the raid, and to get out of paying he
told the deputy constable-or what
ever you call him-that Mr.. Kilgrow
made brandy, offering to show him the
house and the still.''

pardon-1 didn't mean to be proiane.

"Cates did what he said he would.
but he was sharp enough to see that
Mr.. Kilgrow might get clear if he was
taken, or that he himself might be ar
rested as witness; so he went to Mr..
Kilgrow first and pretended to warn
him as friend. Did you ever hear of
SUCH a mean thing?"
'Never. hope it didn't succeed"
Eyes, it did; it all turned out just as
Gates had planned. The revenue men
surrounded the house, but Mr.. Kilgrow
got out of back window and ran. They
chased him clear away over to the other
side of the mountain, shooting at him

When it comes along some drowsy summer

then take trip at home.

"Wait minute and I'll help you,'
said Philip, bursting his way through a
tangle of briers toward Elsie, who stood
at the foot of a miniature cliff, the last
in the series guarding the summit.
For answer she sprang lightly to q
projecting ledge, balanced herself and
~darted up the face of the rock without
appearing to touch it.. There was q
great rhododendron at the top, and her
laughing face was framed against the
background of glowing color as she
called down to him:
I'm waiting; shan't I give you a
hand?''
Philip said no, climbing laboriously
after her. Half way up he slipped and
slid back to the bottom; when he tried
again she threw herself down upon the
fiat top of the rock, grasped his wrists
just as he. was losing his hold for the
second time and pulled him to firm
footing beside her. It was nothing but
a bit of spontaneous helpfulness, but
none the less the incident served to re-
open the question which Philip had just
dismissed. He sat down at her feet to
recover his breath while she gathered a
handful of the rhododendrons.

When one begins to argue with his
conscience it is a foreordained conclu-
sion that conscience will get the worst
of it. Lest Philip should be set down as
a poor figure Of a man, prone to do weak
things as are the sparks to fly upward,
let it be said that he did only what
seemed at the time to be good and
right Love, or what passes for love, is
not always accountable to logic or to
common sense; it may, perhaps, be the
adopted child of the intellect, but it is
begotten and nurtured by the senses
fropinquity, contact, daily association,
the fairness of one object and the near
ness of another, all these influences
were, il. Thorndyke's case, opposed to
what was unconsciously becoming day
by day more of an abstraction-his
Realty to Helen. And, besides, when
one firmly believes he has made his
salaam to the king of terrors, the con-
viction may so distort the mental and
moral vision as 20 make one practically
color blind.
Half an hour after Elsie and Philip
had disappeared in the forest, Protheroe
rode up to the gate with a packet of
letters for Thorndyke. When he
learned that the invalid and Elsie were
on the mountain together, he seemed
quite as anxious to get away from the
farmhouse as he had just been to reach
1t. On the way back to town he had
another impatient argument with him.

:sophical resignation. for which he paid
rather dearly in the coin of disappointed
hopes.

A sturdy small boy and pale-faced
mother came into the hairdresser's shop
in Fourteenth street one afternoon last
week The boy wore an immense white
collar and a mammoth necktie. His
face was framed in soft golden curls.

said the mother with a catch of her
breath. Hes going 70 school and his
father"
Yes m" answered the attendant, ut
terly unmoved. The boy grinned.
The mother gave a gasp as the first
curl fell. Then she sat Very STILL her
lips compressed, and blnked fast while
the golden haired cherub was trans
formed into a bullet-headed small boy.

down from the chair. I'm glad them

No" said the mother, and then
something seemed to choke her; you
aren't a baby now"
She carried the curls away with her
in little paper box. and she blinked
her eyes rapidly as she went down the
street. The boy was trying to whistle
He wasn't a baby any more.
