His lordship sent for Mr. Ford, and
Mr.. Ford received instructions To write
to Paul Waldron to inform him of
Lord Carlswood's offer and of his
wife's acceptance of it. He wrote,
picturing to himself the handsome,
haggard face as he had seen it last.
MAY Heaven pardon those who de-
liberately break a human hearth" he
said as he finished the letter.
He had written very plainly, telling
Paul what Lord Carlswood had decided
to do, and that, although willing to
adopt Ismay and her son, he steadfast-
ly refused in any way to recognize his
grandchild's husband.
"Your wife has had plenty of time to
decide" he wrote, "and she declines to
leave Bralyn."

PARTY FINERY FOR LITTLE
GIRLS.

Party frocks are almost as necessary
an adjunct to the little girls wardrobe
in this progressive age as they are 70
her grown-up sister. For the real
short-frocked tots white, pearl, pink or
blue slippers and stockings are usually
favored, depending upon the color Of
the dress worn. Silks in plain or open
weave look better than Isle or cotton,
as they fit closer and are as a rule in
better coloring; and then they look
well as long as they last, whereas the
others fade. Girls who have come into
their teens may also wear white anil
light-colored shoes and stockings.
though growing girls with large feet
wear plain black French kid or patent
leather Saghes are much worn, and
may be Of ribbon or chiffron, as best
suits the gown. Some tie in a severe
bow at the back and have long ends,
while Others knot at the side and have
ends finished with knotted fringe. II
hair-ribbons are worn they match the

for the hair is the wearing of flowers

maze enormous sums of money by TAX
ing out patents, and in eight years
from the time he left Ashburnham he
was spoken of as one of the most pros
porous men of the day.
Rich now almost beyond 1.-THE dreams
OF avarice," he devoted himself to the
interests of the working classes. He
lectured, he made speeches; he soon be-
came known as popular leader of
Radical opinion. If by the use of keen,
passionate language he could have
reused all England, he would have
done so, and have led on fiery, excited
masses to the destruction of all arts
tocrats. He hated them with a vehe-
ment, burning hatred-he would have
devoted his life to their extinction.
There were times when ne wished that
a revolution like that of France might
sweep every titled man from the face
of the land.
People who listened to him wondered
at his vehement utterances-at his pas
sionate class hatred. They wondered
at the fierce, fiery eloquence with
which he dashed the vices of the rich,
their pride, their Indifference to the
feelings of those beneath them All
this was because one amongst them
had tempted his beautiful young wife
from him.
He became famous as the leader of a
certain class-as the earnest, sincere,
thoughtful advocate of the working
man as the warm supporterof his rights
and privileges.
All this time he had heard no word
of Ismay. He would never read the
chronicles of fashionable life, lest he
should see her name and it should
bring back his pain. Year after year.
as his riches accumulated, his bitter
desire for vengeance grew with them.
He was never known to laugh, never
seen to smile.
The estate and mansion of Ravens
dale were for sale, and he purchased
them. Then he smiled, and said to
himself

take legal steps to change my name.

can advocate the Radical measures

makes the weekly call at the house ~
the little librarian-a post of honor
given to trustworthy boy or girl-all
the children who are enrolled as pa
irons of the library gather and learn.
These meetings are like little parties.
at which the children for the most
part get their first glimpse of social re-
laXations. The idea is to keep them
free from anything like conventional
ity or sthCedness and to give the child
rem good time. Often all the children
are asked to make pictures illustrat-
ing the books read during the week.
OF course most of the attempts at art
are crude and funny. but here and
there the friendly visitors have been
lucky enough to find children with real
talent.
When the little library patrons are
not making pictures they are discuss
ing Robinson Crusoe," and making
the thousands of inquiries that such a
work provokes from the Juvenile mind.
Another feature of the home libra
ries is that besides books they contain
the games that are so sadly missing
from tenements. The friendly WISH
tors say much about the wholesome
effect of the games In one library was
the equipment for parchesi. The father
of young librarian, who had fallen
into the habit of spending his nights
in saloon saw the children playing
and Joined them. He became so in
terested that he broke off the saloon
connection and stayed at home with
his children, after that playing the
game and never resumed his unfortu-
nate ways.
Another recent adjunct to the home
library is the penny savings bank
conducted on the stamp system. It
allows any child to become a bank de-
positor, even II it can deposit only one
penny, and by that method habits of
frugality are taught. At the weekly
meetings the patrons of the library
produce their carefully saved pennies
and are proud of the fact that they are
financial operators on a diminutivs
scale.
Sets of photographs for fine paint
ings are passed around among the Ii
braries, and the friendly visitor is able
to give little art lectures to the child
rem and tell them something about the
originals of the pictures he shows
them.
ITO spread among the children of
the poor better appreciation of good
manners, cleanliness, self-respect and
higher ideals is the real object of the
friendly visitors" says one report,
whose nominal mission is that OF
looking after the books and the little
| librarians"
| The visitors are nearly all from the
ranks of school teachers, the cadets
at the normal school and advanced
pupils of other institutions.
The Associated Charities in Chicago
has only twenty cases of books so far.
There is a loud demand for more. The
management has arranged to give each
donated library name, after the
donor, or some person or object Sc
lected by him. Religious bodies have
been asked to hold bazars and enter
tainments with view to raising funds
to equip more libraries.

LIBRARIES FOR THE POOR.
A Successful Plan Now in Operation in
Chicago.

Chicago Is practicing very worthy
and successful method of educating
and improving the lot OF the poor.
This consists of the tiny itinerant IL
brary, a small box containing twenty
volumes, that Is placed by the bureau
of associated charities in a house in
the tenement district that from that
moment becomes a library at which
the neighbors may call for a supply of
reading matter.
District visitors go to the homes and
easily enlist the attention of the peo-
pie there when they announce that
they intend to leave little bookcase
and appoint a small member of the
family librarian for the little district.
The books are chosen especially to in
terest children, and it has been found
that numbers of them who had no
means of obtaining proper literature
flock to the libraries and eagerly Dor
row the books.
The West End Woman's Club Is
equipping twenty of the Libraries, and
other organizations are helping. One,
the Lewis Institute, provides from its
advanced pupils friendly visitors"
who call each week at the homes where
the Libraries are lodged and hold meet
ings OF its patrons. At these gather
ings the visitors obtain a good hold up
on the children, who are eager for
more books or perhaps anxious to
have some Of those they have read
further explained TO them or to hear
something about the writer's.
Charles Frederick Weller of the AS
ISOLATED Charities and leader Of the
home library movement, says that the
incidental benefits OF the work are
equal to those resulting directly from
the dissemination of good literature
among poor children. The little book
case Is an open sesame to homes that
otherwise would he G. sed with dis

CHAPTER XIII.

L
morning in August, when Paul VALID
ron rose early and went out amongst
the dew-laden flowers; he had been
thinking so intently about Ismay that
he could not sleep. 1t was a month
since she had left him, and he was
longing to look at her bright, beauti-
full face again.
"She could not be annoyed now" he
said to himself, eff wrote and asked
her to come home; she has been gone
so long"
He had almost forgotten his doubts.
Ismay had written to him very often.
telling him of her great enjoyment;
but she had never given him even the
slightest hint of the struggle in her
mind, never told him one word of Lord
Carlswood's offer.
81 will write and ask her to come
back" and as he said the words the
sun seemed to shine more brightly
the flowers to look more fair.
He sat enjoying the sunshine, the
dew, and the flowers, the little maid
took his cup of coffee out to him, and
the postman, seeing him in the garden
brought the letters to him. There was
one bearing the postmark of Lynn.
An hour afterwards, when the lit
tie maid went in search of him, she
found him lying on his face on the
ground, cold and senseless as one
dead. She tried to rouse him, and
after time he looked around him with
a dazed, bewildered air.
Have you been ill?" asked the
girl: and then she looked at him in
surprise, for as he walked to the house
he stumbled at every step.
He went to his room, and she heard
him lock the door. He was a strong
man. brave to suffer and endure, but
that letter had struck him down as a
sudden and terrible blow would have
done.
The news bewildered him: at first
he could not realize it. Slowly, clearly
the terrible truth came home to him
Ismay had forsaken him for mere
vanity, for wealth and luxury. She
had given him up and had left him
forever. When his mind had quite
grasped that truth a terrible cry
came from his lips-a crv to Heaven
for vengeance. Then, unable to bear
up, he fell with his face on the ground
When he recovered he sat for LONG
hours in that room that was never
again to be Frightened by his wife's
fair face, bearing the first pain of his
agony in silence that was heroic. Then
hot anger, fierce Indignation rose with
in him-anger so wild, so frantic, that
he was for the time like a mailman
Who had taken his darling from him
Who had tempted her and lured her
away? He stood with white lips
and cursed the destroyer of his domes-
tic happiness with terrible curses. He
cursed the proud lord who had rob-
bed him of his treasure.

great heart seemed breaking with It's

tender. so loving-my wifel"
Then he remembered that it was oil

She had left him that she might enjoy
wealth. luxury, and splendor. She
had left him. had blighted his life

love. for-money.
