BOstOn'S Four Hest Sayings,

most admirable thrust at Henry James.

rics of life. and | will dispense with its

the third. "Thc consciousness OF being
perfectly well dressed gives n feeling
OF inward tranquility which religion Is
powcrlcss to bcstow." These three
have long been famous. but IIigginson
matched the best OF them when he re-
marked, "IIcnry James has been called
cosmopolitan. but he isn't. since n

Mitchell felt assured of her sincerity.
but the colonel snecrcd and said:
"fou stated that she Is an actress.
did you not? She plays her part very
we'll. Quite an innocent. is she not?"
Mr.. Mitchell did not seem to notice
the cruel speech. but again addressed
Lillian.
"ics. it was all true. rs told you
the story. You remember, you asked
me who could have placed the chilo

Why do you call him that?"
You mean ought to call him Jim."
said Mr.. Mitchell, "Prcachcr Jim?"
why, no. Preacher Jim is not my
my husband. low could you think
that?"
1t was now Mr.. Mitchcrs turn 10 be
bcwildcrcd. When she had told hm7 ha,
her name was Mrs. Matthew Crauc, he
had felt satisfied that 1t was the Grim.
inal Of whom she spoke. Now 1t dawn
ed upon him that he had been under
some misapprchcnsion. but he did not
yet see wherein lie had been In error.
He fastened to lead her on now, lest
her own suspicious might be aroused
and she should thereafter refuse to
make further disclosures.
IL thought you told me so. Then
Matthew Crane is not your husbands
real name?"
'Why, no! If you know him. you
ought to know that. His name is Mat
thew Morton"
Matthew Norton" thought Mr..
Mitchell, quickly graspinG the truth.

cent, is she nOt1"
at was Matthew Mora, alias Matthew
Morton, who was the father of this
wnif. How very strange that what
had at first seemed Il totally different
affair should now prove to be connect
ed in so important n manner with the
case which Mr.. Barnes was inveStigat-
ingw
"Of course, of cOurscr' said he aloud.
ut was to you, then, that lie sent the
note yesterday morning when you left
the house in Essex street in car
riageT
That he should have this knowledge
seemed to rcassurc the girl, for she
now spoke to him more freely.
"Why, yes" said she. Matthew
wrote me that must leave the house
and go to boarding house in Tenth
street, and he told me to call myself
Mrs. Crane till l heard from him again.
That's why gave you that name"
This seemed very significant to Mr.
Mitchell. Did Matthew Mora know that
Preacher Jim's true name was Mat.
thew Crane, and did he instruct Lillian
to assume that name as n means OF
throwing detectives upon n false scent
In case they should track tho girl to
her new abode? 1t began to look as
though Mr.. Barnes estimate Of the
man was correct. But the main point
at present was to learn what part hr
had played in the removal of the child
from its mother and i'm its subsequent
abandonment. Mr.. Mitchell dismissed
all idea Of collusion on the part Of the
girl.
"Iou say your husband did not place
your baby in the graveyard. How do
you know ths|
II suppose I might as we'll tell you
the whole truth. Well, one night we
were to n ball at Apollo hall when who
should turn up but an old gent. who
| walked straight to where We were
dancing. He grabs me by the arm
and squeezed me so hard l screamed.
| Then he threw me one side, and, grab
bing Matthew, he says, 4 want yon to
| come out OF this Matthew never
| said word, but went with him. They
| went down to the saloon, and they
| had high words together, but after
| awhile Matthew came up again and
tried to make out rs If nothing was
wrong. But l wouldn't have it, SO
finally he told me the old man was his
father; that he was on to us and was
in an ugly humor. | got scared at that
| and began to cry, but Matthew told ME
there was pothlng to cry about. There
| was nothing the old man could do to
me anyway. whatever he might do to
| him. Then all of sudden Matthew
turned white like, as though he had
n sudden idea, and he says to me:
You wait for me here. Ill be back.
Then he rushed off. He was gone a
long time and only got back a3 the
ball was breaking up. and he took me
home. When we got there. baby was
gone. l was frightened. but Matthew
explained everything to me. Il got an
idea at the ball. said he. that the
gov'nur might have found out where
we were living If he had come here
and seen the baby, 1t would have been

OF the country families 81 seems to be
fact that fully two-thirds OF the family.
and sometimes all the family, work on
tho farm. IL these families are 20 be
taken as a standard. the colored people
are certainly not lazy.
President Wright thinks, however that
the material condition represented in this
school ~ far shove the average material
condition OF the colored people, yet these
facts show very conclusively that the
coiored people are making strenuous and
somewhat successful efforts TO improve
their material az well as their moral and
intellectual condition.
There was also a vote taken by secret
ballot among the students 10 ascertain
whom the students regard as having been
OF the greatest use to the race. Twenty
four colored men and one Cuban were
among those who received the highest
number Of votes although as many as
fifty were voted for.
In their voting contest the students
