water, Then he proceeded to do the
best thing he could have done under
tho circumstances-cry like baby and
denounce himself for fool, dashed
fool and something over. Then he swore
that he must end his worthless life with
a dangerous % caliber pistol Joe
thought il was awful He had faint
idea that the doctor would be very
angry, and he knew of nothing more
terrible than that.
He did not begin to feel sorry. how
ever, for the weeping wreck which had
now thrown itself upon the bed until
it sobbed out something about its dar
ling, darling Mabel-how her poor life
was undone forever. The picture he
drew of her weeping over her fallen
idol was appalling to Joe. 1t made him
nervous. He went over and looked down
on the crowded streets, but saw only a
maiden weeping over a grave. Slowly
an idea made its way into his brain
that he could save her if he would. She
would never know it, of course, because
that would spoil the whole thing. But
then he could not have her going about
in black and weeping over a grave.

doctor insisted and at last compromised
the matter by agreeing to send Joe for
the money after Harry had changed the
bonds at the bank. Joe drove the lovers
to the station and was a witness to their
tender parting, which appeared to him
unnecessarily long drawn out. But he
was more touched by the girls wet
eyes and quivering lips as he drove her
home He realized for the first time
what love meant to her.
Absorbed in this new idea, he forgot
to hate Harry until one morning a week
later, when he stood before that young
man like an accusing conscience in the
latters bedroom in the Astor House,
New York. He was there in conformity
with the doctors instructions to bring
back the money which he was to receive
from Harry's hands. His mission, sue
cessful thus far, had come to an inglo-
riOus end for the simple reason that
Harry had no money to hand him. 1t
was the old story. After negotiating
the bonds successfully he had fallen in
with some college chums. There had
been a supper in his room-champagne
and poker party. All that remained
was a very sick boy, his head bound
with a wet towel, standing stupidity be-
fore Joe, who sternly demanded "that
money or them bonds.
What could he dor he asked as he
brokenly confessed the whole shameful
business, for he was not sober enough

A MINOR CHARACTER.
Copyright, 1900, by the Author.I
BY FRED L. COWLES.

His name was Joseph Lycurgus Jones
At least that was what his father wrote
on the hotel register the day he walked
into the village leading 5-year-old boy
by the hand But whether it was the
boys real name or not no one ever
knew, for the father cut his own throat
that evening and left no other word.
The child was tall for his age, loose
iointed and with such an unpromising
appearance that it landed him in the
county poorhouse just six hours after
the suicide was buried in a pine box.
How long Joe lived in the poorhouse
or what he learned there beyond docility
is not material, since docility was the
only qualification DIR. Swiggett required
in an office and stable boy. 1t is not too
much to say that he grew up in the doc
tor 8 family from his ninth to his TWEEN
ty-second year, and from feet to
feet 4, but his mental and spiritual stat
ure increased not. Poorhouse training,
as a rule. wears well, and Joe remained
docile to the end. The doctor was good
hearted. He meant well by the boy, but
he took him for a boy of all work, and
it never occurred to him that nature
could have intended Joe to be anything
else To be sure, out Of Difference to
public opinion-and public opinion in a
country village is not thing 20 be
slighted-the lad was sent to school six
months each year, so that he was not
absolutely untaught. But, generally

speaking the boys position in the fam
lily was that of a faithful Watchdog
At first he was allowed to look after
the baby, and as she grew up he ac-
companied her to and from school.
When at last she came home young
lady from Nassar, he drove her about
the country in search of bits of scenery
for amateur landscapes. The doctor did
not fer moment suspect that such a
boy would be likely TO worship the girl
nor that such girl would be touched
in her tender heart by the doglike devo-
tion of even such boy. But all this
came to pass and might have become
serious to both instead of to one of them
only. AS il was, it didn't matter, for
Harry Clark, the doctors cousins son,
a student of medicine at Harvard, came
just at this time to visit the doctor and
to direct his daughters attention else
where.
After Harry had been with him two
months, working into his practice and
rejuvenating his old heart with tales OF
Harvard days so like history he had
himself helped to make, the doctor was
willing to trust the young man with
the life and happiness of his only daugh-
ter, Mabel. When they came to him
hand in hand, their eyes telling the
old, old story, the doctor declared it
was the gladdest day of his life Much
to the annoyance of Harry, he kissed
them both. In the exuberance of his
JOY he shook Joe warmly by the hand
as he entered the Office at that moment
What Joe felt or thought was not
considered by any one. Yet il was
something of a trial to Joe to witness
the happiness of the lovers. He knew
Harry was not good enough for the girl
He thought no one was 1t is not neces-
sary to tell the things Harry and Mabel
said and did in Joe's presence. But 1t
was gall and wormwood to him, and he
hated Harry furiously and insanely.
Harry had good looks and weak points.
Mabel could see only the good looks,
but Joe noted the weak points with ex-
treme satisfaction. One of them was an
overfondness for stimulants, as Joe
knew from finding empty bottles in
places where there should have been no
bottles of any kind. More than once he
felt like speaking to the doctor about it,
but refrained mainly because he knew
the doctor would not believe him.
He was near doing it, however, the
morning the doctor gave Harry some
county bonds to take to New York to
convert into cash. 1t was no great
amount, but enough to buy the modest
little house he intended to be his daugh-
ter's wedding portion. To be strictly
fair, Harry did not care to be trusted
with the money and raised various OBJ
jections to being its custodian. He said
that he was not coming back for a week
or two and had much business Of his
own that needed attention. But the

Portrait of Admiral Dewey
Will BE Painted by Artist t. w. Wood
for the Wood Art Gallery In MOnt-
peIier.

VIII BE Painted by Artist t. w. Wood
for the Wood Art Gallery in Mont-
peIier.
Vermont is TO be honored with the first
portrait of Admiral George Dewey painted
by an American artist on American soil.
In October, 1898, Thomas w. Wood, pres
ident of the National Academy of Design
in New York, asked permission to paint a
portrait of Admiral Dewey, and he has re-
Gently received from the Admiral an ac-
acknowledgement of his letter and a cheer
full expression of willingness to accede TO
the request.
Mr.. Wood will make two paintings if
time will permit-one a bust of the Ad-
miral and the other full length portrait,
showing the Admiral standing on the
bridge of the Olympia in the white duck
uniform that he wore when he gave the
order to attack Montojo's feet. To this
historical scene the artist will devote his
best efforts. The arrangements for the
posings will be made as soon as the re-
joicing over Admiral Dewey's return to
the United States has subsidized sufficiently.
1t is not Mr.. Woods intention to paint
the portrait for public display. When it
is finished it will be sent to the Wood art
gallery in Montpelier as valued addition
to the treasures of the state.
Admiral Dewey and Mr.. Wood were
both born in Montpelier, and while they
did not attend the same district school and
were not close companions as boys, the
neighborliness of the families was such
that when the reputation as a portrait
painter became established, he was COM
missioned to paint picture of DR.. Dewey,
father of the Admiral. That was in Octo-
Der, 1885, and the painting is hanging to-
day in the Office of Charles Dewey, the
Admirals brother.

Strange kidnapping Case in New York.

New York city has kidnapping mys-
terry. The little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur W. Park, who live on East 65th
street, was taken away by her nurse girl
last Sunday morning. The girl presented
herself and was hired in answer to an ad-
vertisement. She had been with the fam
lily only few days. Sunday morning she
took the child into Central Park in its car
riage. A little later it was found that she
had left the carriage with the matron of
the women's waiting house and had gone
away with the child on the pretence that
she was taking it to see the bears. Neither
nurse nor child has been heard of since with
the exception that Mrs. Park received
letter warning her to keep the matter
away from the police and the newspapers
and saying: 1--WE are driven to this be-
cause we cannot get work and one Of us
has a child dying from lack of proper food
and treatment" The strange thing is that
the parents are people without money and
of no prominence. AS yet the police and
detectives have secured no clew.
