 At this moment, Nan, who knew by heart all the little tricks of friendship and affection, left Margaret. and took her stand by Neighbor Tomlin side It was an endorsement that the other could not withstand. She followed Nan, and said very firmly and earnestly, Tt shall be as my mother wishes
 He went upstairs very slowly. as if lost in thought He went to the room and stood leaning against the framework Of the door. Pulaski is here," said Miss Fanny, who had been waiting to announce his return.
 You remember, Pulaski" the invalid began, that once when you were ill, you would not permit me to see you. I was so ignorant that I was angry; yes, and bitter; my vanity was wounded. And 1 was ignorant and bitter for many years.

It Is my last wish that you should be her guardian and protec- tor. Is she in the room? Can she hear what l am about to say?'
 No, Margaret" replied Pulaski Tom lin. in a voice that was tremulous and husky. 'She Is downstairs; l have just seen her."
 Well. she has no father. according to my way of thinking" Margaret Bridai oiI went on. Her father is a deserter from the Confederate army She doesn know that; I tried to tell her, but my heart failed me. Neither does she know that | nave been divorced from him.

 'I shall try to carry out your wishes Margaret" said Pulaski Tomlin; "I sha lo as you desire. She shall be to me . most sacred charge.'
 At signal from Pulaski Tomlin, Juds Odom cleared his throat, and read tn

The stvle became her well. The snort curis gave her an air of jauntiness. which was in perfect keeping with her dlsposi- lion. and they made very pretty frame for her rosy, smlling face Socially she was the most popular person In town' with both young and old. Indeed. the community would have been very dull one but for Mss Fanny; in return for vshicn tue young people conferred the dis tdnction of kinsnIp by calling her Aunt Fanny. She had remained single because her youngest brother, Pulaski, was un- married and needed some one to take care of him, so she said. But she had another brother, Silas Tomlin, who was twice a widower, and who seemed to need some one to take care of him. for he presented q very mean and miserable appearance.
 Miss Fanny plunged at once Into the business that had brought her out so early. What do you tnlnk, Lucy. Mar xaret Gather and her daughter have re- turned. They are at the Gather place, and Miss Polly has just told me that

Something must be done at once, and that's certain. l don't know what NarKarets feelings are with respect to me; you know we never were bosom friends. Yet I never really disliked her, and now after all that has happened, 1 couldn't bear to think thatrshe was suf- 6srang for anything. Likely enough she would be embarrassed if 1 called and or- fsred assistance What is to be done?'
 "Wouldn't 1t be best for some one to caIl-some one who was her friend?' The cool, level voice of Gabriels grand mother seemed to clear the atmosphere. ''Whatever is to be done should be done aympathe medically. If 1 couId see Polly, there would be no difficulty"

Looking Up Family Trees. Washington Post.

Now. and for some time past. naar,v one half of the number of readers in inc Congressional Library reading room come there to read town historieS. eeneaIogies and all that class of works which during the past two years have appeared in such number and which deal with his- toric towns. families. etc., of the different groups of States of the Union. Such sub jects have become immensely popular of late years. and people who ten years ago probably did not know the names of their great-grandparents. and possibly cared loss. are today boring over old directo- ries. genealogies. town histories and the like. in efforts to scratch up a distin- Euished ancestry. The Sons and Daugh- ters of the American Revolution and kindred organizations have been largely responsible for this. and many of those who. evening after evening. may be seen rummaging through ltersture of this character. are either contemplating join- ing one or the other of the organizations, and are thus seeking a Revolutionary an- cestor upon whom to base their applica- ton or else they are members of the so- cieties looking up the record of those who are seeking membership.

said Mrs. Absalom. Johnny" was Mrs. Darlington, who, in turn, called Mrs. Ao- salon "Nonny,' which was Mans pet name for the woman who had raised her.
 Mrs. Absalom called Mrs. Darlington, but she was not to be found at the mo- ment. T reckon you'll have to go to the door, Gabe," said Mrs. Absalom, as the knocker sounded. ''Sence freedom, we ain't got as many niggers lazyin' around an doin' nothin' as we used to have"
 "Is MT. Goodlett in| asked Silas Tom lin, when Gabriel opened the door.
 T think hes in Malvern" Gabriel an- swered, as politely as he could.
 NO, no, no!" exclaimed Silas Tomlin, with terrible frown; you don't know thing about it, not thing In the world. He got back right after dinner .'
 Well, ef he did, said Mrs. Absalom, coming forward, The didn't come here. :"
 How are you, Mrs. Absalom?-how are you?" said Silas, with a tremendous eff fort at politeness. "I hope you are well. You say your husband is not in? Well, I'm sorry; I wanted to see him on bus iness."
 "Ab don't owe you anything, I hope" remarked Mrs. Absalom.
 Not a thing-not a thing in the world. But why do you ask? Many people have sllc lu6i that III lOIlIlS III ulOllCyt they think that I go about loaning 1t to Tom. Dick and Harry. But 1t is not so. have no money"
 He wiped his thin fps with his lean foretinger, and stood hesitating, where upon Mrs. Absalom remarkel: Tt sha mt cost you a cent eff you'll come in. Ab'n be here purity soon. Show MT. Tomlin in the parlor, Gabriel, an I'll see about Abs dinner"
 Silas Tomlin went in the parlor and sat down, while Gabriel stood hestating lot knowing what to do or say. He was mbarrassed, and Silas Tomlin saw 1t. Oh, take a seat he said, with a show impatience. What are you oong for 'ourself, Tolliver? You're a big boy now md you ought to be making good money The way I look at it, the man who Is ioing nothing Is throwing money away; ves sir, throwing It away. What does dam Smith say?"
 Gabriel never found out what Adam 'mith said for at that moment, Mir )odlett called out from the dining room Si Tomln in there, Gabriel? We'll fetch m out here whar I live at."
 If Silas Tom'in objected to this ar
 ngement he gave no sign he followed abriel without a word. MT. Goodlett laced his plate on the table where the ishes were washed, and began to at ack his dinner most vigorously Silas ntered at once on the business that orought him to Doringtons'.
 "Goodlett, who were the ladies you 'rought from Malvern today?" His face yas very serious.

woman of the highest principles, hold tempt, 1t is possible that she would have tempt, 1t is possible that she would have owned to a mild regret that Mss Polly Gather was too deaf to hear what SiIas Tomlin's troubles were. This was natural, too, for. on account of the persistent ru- mors that had followed Silas home from Mississippi, there was always something of mystery in regard to his first mat rimonial venture. There was none about his second. A year or two after he re- turned home he married Susan Pritchard, whose father was a prosperous farmer. Susan bore Silas a son and died. She was pious woman, and with her last breath named the child Paul, on account of the conjunction of the names of Paul and Sias in the New Testament. Paul grew up to be one of the most popular young men in the community.

CHAPTER VI. Silas Tomlin Goes a Calling,

The window of the dining-room at Dor ,ington's commanded a7view of the stree for d considerable distance toward town and 1t was at this window that Mrs Absalom had her favorite seat. She ooked out from this window one day while she was talking to Gabriel Toli- 'er, whose visits to Dorringtons had come to be concident with Mans ab- sence, and suddenly exclaimed:
 Well. my gracious! Elf wonder ain't old Picayune Pauper! I wonder what we nave done out this way that old Picayune should be sneakin around here? As I'm l livin' human, he's comn' here!'
 Now. Silas Tomlin was NeighbOr Tom ms elder brother. but the two men were IS different in character and disposition IS a warfn bright day is different from a bitter black night. Silas was a miserly noney-lender and note-shaver, and al. ways appeared to be in the clutches oi diversity. To parsimony he added the sting of a peevish and an irritable tenn per.
