CHAPTER II.

It was something like coming home,
after all, albeit to house almost void
of furniture and peopled only with
remembrances Of loved forms long since
gone. At any rate, 1t was the only home
could really call my own.
There were two rooms, the spare
bedroom and the parlor adjoining, on
the first floor, which still retained the
furniture. Everything about these
rooms, though faded and somewhat
worn, was in good order, and l COM
plimented Mrs. Snyder on the care she
had taken.
Sarah had thrown up the windows,
and the soft evening air came into the
rooms.
Although the place had not been
allowed to go to ruin, there was about
it that indescribable quality which 1.
attached to long-deserted houses. We
all felt it more or less. Sarah and Mrs.
Snyder spoke in whispers; Jake stepped
about on tiptoe, rs though fearful that
the heavy tread of his cowhide boots
would bring back the spirits Of the
departed; while to myself there was a
pathos about the old house which had
nOC knOwu Ill 1undDlttbhJ 1OE bO AOA8
It seemed like some human being de.
serted by its own flesh and blood.
While I was passing from bureau
to wardrobe, from center-table to man
tel-piece, taking mental notes OF all the
old-fashioned china and bric-a-brac
which adorned those places still, and
which in my young days had been for.
bidden my boyish fingers, Sarah and
Mrs Snyder made up the bed, taking the
bedding from a huge cedar chest which
stood on one side of the room.
Sprigs of spruce and hemlock had
been placed in the chest from time to
time, and when the cover was lifted
the pungent odor filled the room.
All through the preparations no
ticed that Sarah and Mrs. Snyder were
engaged in earnest conversation.
The old widow was especially vehe.
ment, and Sarah would frequently
shake her head and give forth exclam-
atoms indicative either OF wonder or OF
disapprobation. My old nurse also fa-
vored me with many glances which
seemed to have much of solicitude in
them.
When everything had been done to
make me comfortable for the night,
Sarah turned to me, and spoke low,
with a touch Of fear in her tones.
"Come, Mel, you go bacl home with

"NERVE WASTE"

One OF the most helpful books on nerve
weakness ever issued is that entitled
"Nerve Waste" by DR.. Sawyer of San
Francisco, now in its fifth thousand.
This work OF an experienced and reput-
able physician is in agreeable contrast
to the vast sum OF false teaching which
prevails on this interesting subject. 1t
abounds in carefully considered and
practical advice, and has the two great
merits OF wisdom and sincerity.
1t is indorsed both by the religious
and secular press. The Chicago Ad-
vance says: "A perusal of the book and
the application of it's principles will put
health. hope and heart into thousands
Of lives that are now suffering through
nervous impairment"
The book is s1.0O, by mail. postpaid.
One Of the most interesting chapters
chapter Xxx, on Nervines and Nerve
Tonics-has been printed separately as
q sample chapter, and will be sent to any
address for stamp by the publishers, The

The two women exchanged glances,
and seemed to be reluctant to proceed.
Finally Sarah spoke in awe-stricken
tones, first looking around with a
frightened expression.

"Humphl Idon't see anything funny

CHAPTER l (Continued)

1 felt there was one true, loyal soul
in the world whom could depend on,
and, in the natural desire for sympathy
and consolation, recounted to her all
my troubles, including the circum-
stances connected with the bank rob
berry and the suspicion under which I
had groaned in spirit for year now.
"It seems as though were fatsd to
carry that load to the grave" I re-
marked, despondingly.
Zach, no, indeed you Won't. Don'd
you feel pad aboud 1t, Mel. You see 1t
come right. Let dem come TO me-"
Sarah continued, waxing indignant.
"Iet dem come to me. I dell dem II a
grandson of Abram Nelson In . thisf.
And dey find out some day."
Her assurances comforted and en-
couraged me very much. For knew
my life had been honorable and square,
at least in all business relations, and
her absolute trust in me, after all the
cruel insinuations and the cold looks
of suspicion, was balm to my wounded
spirit.
There was another, the brightest, fair
est and best of women, who also felt
confidence in my integrity, or at least
had done SO; one whose affection
had gained. But had not heard from
her since Immediately after the rob
berry, and whether her trust and love
still remained mistaken I could not
say. 1 had no reason to doubt her; but
then time works wonderful changes
in woman's opinions, often.
After supper Jake drove me over to
Nelsonville Sarah accompanied us, OF
course. She would have been intensely
pleased to have me stay at her own
house, but was longing for the rest
and peace which the old homestead
seemed to promise, and SO could not
be persuaded to change my plans.
At the corner of two roads, near the
house, dwelt an old widow, who hao
taken care of my place.
The large farm had been rented out
in parcels to neighboring farmers, but
the house had remained vacant evel
since my grandfather's death.
We stopped at the widows home fol
the key, and the old lady came alon(
with us.
Soon I stood upon the porch ant
eazed around upon the scenes which
had stamped themselves SO strongly
upon my boyhood's mind that even now
after all these years. they seemed won
derfully familiar. 1 missed the white
headed old gentleman, whose figure haf
been the most beautiful of all to my
boyish mind. With sigh turned tS
the door. placed the key in the lock
turned the bolt, and entered, followed
reverentially by Sarah and her husband
and Mrs. Snyder, the old widow.
