II her heart would break, so full 1t was of
surging, burning feeling. She sat there,
thinking, rather still and rather pale. And
after a long and. serious time she rose, not
as with sudden impulse, but deliberately.
She felt better; she threw an encouraging
look at herself In the glass, and she went
bravely downstairs.
Esther and her mother were on the piaz-
"a with Mr. Arnsworth. Molly sat down
with them; she laid an appealing hand on
Mrs. St. Clair's.
Mrs. st. Clair" she said, ct want to
go home. You've been lovely to me, and
it's been a beautiful time! But / want to
go home. l must will tell you why. DO
you know what I did this morning? Oh
Mrs. st. Clair! I saw Dan over home;
he was coming from the Barstows with a
pail of sour milk for his pig, and he had
on his old clothes-and he did look funny
and II didn't speak to him. l was
ashamed of him; L was glad you and Es-
ther didn't see him; l didn't want Mr..
Arnsworth TO know he was my brother.

dreadfully sorry it seemed as if I couldn't
stand it; you don't know! And when

that he began to climb through the win

low so she could see to the children if any
thing happened to them during the night
In the dim light James saw the old Mooka
clamberng into the window He was so
big and lubberly that he could moi move
very fast, so James got behind the door,
reading into Mammals room, and watched
him.
He was great big, white NIooka, all
soft and fat like bag of -four, and he had
long white arms. He had a large mouth
and two great teeth, one in the upper and
one in the lower jaw; and James thought

else. In the middle distance, coming up the
street, she saw her brother Dan.
Her first impulse was one of pleasure
Then, "Oh dear" she said to herself; my
goodness met If it had been Dan an his
best suit, Dan in his red sweater, Dan in
any array but that which Mollys keen
eyes took in with one look. Dan had on
his worst clothes, his faded old working
clothes and an old cap perched heedlessly
on corner of his head. Nor was that all,
nor the worst Dan carried great pail. the
contents of which Molly knew well; it
was the sour milk that the Barstows gave
him every day for his pig
Dan came on, whistling. How he did
look! almost like the stable boys at the
West View. What would Mr.. Arnsworth
think, If he knew he was her brother? Mol
~, in the pride of her exalted condition,
tingled with modification.
And then-how did it happen? Mrs ST.
Clair and Esther did not see Dan, being
intent upon Mr. Lowry's house on the op-
posite side of the street, Mr.. Arnsworth
did, though, and he smiled little. Molly
saw the smile She saw, too, the glad look
that flashed into Dams face at sight of
her; she saw him stop-and she bit her lip
and drew a breath and looked straight
ahead, over the horses ears.
And the carriage bowled along and left
Dan standing there.

reached home
That night, about midnight, James was
awakened by some one tapping at his win
dow. He sat up in bed and saw there
peering into the window an old Mooka
The Mooka said in a deep, bass voice:
Where is my little toe?"
Now, James was very much frightened
and did not know what to do. The Moo

AS James did not answer the Mooka
raised the sash and put in his head and
said again.
DO you know where my little toe
is?"
Yes" said James, I'm get it for you.
Just walt there. IN get It,"
He arose and searched for his trousers
But l must tell you of a very bad habit
that James had: When he undressed at
night. instead Of laying all his clothes
neatly together, where he could find them
in the morning, he would scatter them
everywhere. Then of mornings he would
have a very hard time finding them His
shoes and stockings and coat and tie would
be distributed all over the house.
And now therefore he could not find
his trousers He went around then he
went into the girls room and then into

MoLLYS BROTHER DAN.
A CHARMING STORY Of a SISTERS
FALSE PRIDE.
By Emma Upper.

When Mrs. ST. Clair invited Molly Drury
to spend a month with Esther and her
self at the West View Hotel, the Drury
family, which consisted Of Molly and Dan
and their mother, was agreeabIy excited.
1t came about naturally, for, though the
ST. Glars were the richest people in the
village, and the Drurys were poor, Molly
was Esther St. Glars best friend, and
when Esther's mother, not feeling strong
that summer, decided to take her young
eet daughter and go over to the West
View Hotel for a change and rest, for
Esther's sake she invited Molly Drury to
go with them.

"Of course it WON'T" said Dan. Dan

Molly, but he was less like a boy than

and so good hearted. II won't make a
biz of difference with Molly, mother" said
Dan, with deep confidence; and he went

dropped them into her lap, her cheeks

When it was over she went up to her
room. She opened the package first, II

CURED to him. He sprane forward and
caught the end of the string and wound
up the Mooka into a tight ball. AS fast
as he came through the keyhole James
wound him up. until he had him all done
up in little ball and the Mooka could
not undo himself.
Then he put the ball under his pillow
and went to sleep.
In the morning he was awakened by
hearing his papa say:
who bolted this door?'
Then his grandma pretty soon exclalm-
ed:
Who locked my door?"

how those sharp teeth would hurt when
they bit off his toe.
When the Mooka at length had squeezed
through the window. James decided that
II was time for him to run away. So he
shut and bolted the door and run around
TO the other side Of mammals bed.
But Mookas can go through any hole or
crack, no matter how small il is And
pretty soon James saw something white
ike string, coming through the keyhole
1t was the Mooka, who had changed him
self into a long strip and thus could get
through very little place AS soon as he
was through ne returned to his natural
size again and made for james.
James ran around and lodged him and
escaped into the hall, the Mooka after
him. Then he ran down stairs and through
the parlor and sitting room and dining
room, and kitchen, and every door he went
through he bolted and fastened, so the
Mooka had to change himself into a string
every time in order to get through the
keyholes, and this gave James time enough
to keep out of his clutches.
At last he had run all through the house
and locked every door. His room was be-
tween grandma's and mamma s. The last
room he went through was grandma's and
now he found himself once more in his
own bedroom. He couldn't get out Of this
because, you see, he had locked the door
leading into mammals room on the other
side. What was he TO do? There he
was, standing by his own bed. unable 90

thing He looked under his pillow and
there was a white BAH of string. He found
his trousers tangled up in the bedclothes

After breakfast he went out in the alley
and threw the little toe and the old Moo

And the garbage man carted them off.

The Cuban revolutiCnistS will, 1t
seems, have a representative in the
American Military Commission to set
tie affairs in Cuba in the person Of
Admiral Sampson. This interesting in
dividCal arriving in Washington with
the laurels of Schley's victory thick
upon him, takes Immediate issue with
Gen. Shafter in his treatment of the
Cuban army at Santiago. The Admin
istration admiral was not much ashore
in Cuba, and he modestly admits that
he saw and talked with few Cuban
soldiers; but upon the basis of his full
control of any subject which ap-
proaches him within a distance OF
twelve miles. he adjudges the Cubans
to be fine fellows and quite as worthy
to govern themselves as could be ex-
peeted.
We are quite certain that President
Mckinley did not share these SEN
timents on Monday morning, but as a
result of the arrival of the admiral al
the White House and the conversation
which must have ensued, it is possible
that his mind was changed. Admiral
Sampson has acquired the habit of
ranking his superiors SO thoroughly that
him than a commodore.
In the end we think Mr.. Mckinley
will give way entirely The Samps n
pull is as great in 1898 as it was in
Bible DAYS.

ing men would die faster than Mauser
bullets could kill them in the field. He
knew what d national disgrace the
Seneca was. He had plenty of time to
prevent a recurrence of that disgrace.
And he apparently made no effort to
do so.
Just here he made a monumental
blunder Every one of these wounded
soldiers who lives to get home will tell
his story. Those who died have friends
who will not be silent in Their indigna-
ton. The story of those hospital ships
win be spread all over the country
much more thoroughly than any news
papers can do it. The story OF the
semi-starvation and sickness that has
prevailed in the camps has not been
agreeable to fathers and mothers,
eagerly waiting for news of their boys
The fact that the regiments of the
volunteer army came from nearly ey-
cry State in the Union makes it certain
that the incompetence of the War De-
partment will be thoroughly investi-
SdteQ. 1ndt Is the lTOuDic Will q WI
unteer army, from bureaucratic point
of view. Regulars who spend their
lives in the army must suffer in ST.
lence. An army which is mustered out
after a few months service has
tongue. and it will talk. The mouldy
and insufficient food of the camps
might have passed without arousing
more .han a murmur of indignation.
But this treatment of wounded men
who fought SO CALAMITY for their coun-
try that Englishmen declared there
had been nothing like it since Bala-
klava-this crime against the nation
will arouse a thunder of denunciation
that will shake the War Department
to the foundations. We did not go to
war with the motto Remember the
Mainei" TO have our heroes killed by
neglect. In this coming court of in
quiry there will be something beside
the Maine to remember.
