It does. and you needn't say a word.
Nothing is sacred to him; he has no
respect for God and cares nothing for
man except to the extent that he can
use him.
The Major strove to wink at Tom,
but there was a hitch in his eye. "My
dear, you don't understand the old
fellow" said he. "And therefore you
misjudge him. l know that he is
weak. but I also know that he is
strong, and he is quite as necessary to
me as I am to him. He rests me, and
rest is az essential as work. Some
times the perfect gentleman is a bore;
sometimes the perfect lady is tire
some. In man there is a sort of inno-
cent evil, q liking for the half depraved
and an occasional feeding Of this ap-
petite heightens his respect for the
truly virtuous." e.
Il don't believe 1t, john
"Of course you don't. You are the
truly v%irtuous, and" he spread him
self back with a loud 'haw," and sat
there shaking under her cool gaze.
There, Margaret" he said, wiping
his eyes, don't take it to heart. I am
doing the best l can and that Is all
the excuse I have to offer. I'm getting
old; do you realize that? The things
that used to amuse me are fiat now,
and I can't afford to kill an amuse-
ment when n does happen to come
along. Don't you worry about Gid.
Why, Margaret, he has stood by me
when other men turned their backs.
The river was dangerous during my
day, and the pop of a pistol was as
natural as the bark Of q dog. But old
Gid was there by me-"
"Oh, / don't doubt that he has some
good qualities" she admitted. "But
why doesn't he mend his ways?"
ooh. he hasn't time for that, Mar
garet. He's too busy with other mat
tiers. There. now, We won't talk about
him. But I promise you, my dear, that
he shall not unduly influence me.
don't exactly know what l mean by
that, either. l mean that you need
hove no fear Of my permitting him to
weaken my respect for the church.
Yes, I think that's about what l mean
But the fact is he has never tried to
do that. But what's the use of this
talk. l can sum up the whole situa,
ton by reminding you that I am the
master. There, now. don't sigh-don't
look so worried"

let us drop him. So you saw Mayo,
eh?" he added, turning to Tom.
"Yes, sir, and l understand that he
is coming back down here to prove TO
the negroes that we are cheating them
outof their earnings"
The Major tossed a cigar to Tom,
lighted one, and had begun to talk
with a rhetorical and sententious bal
ancing of periods-which, to his mind,
full of oratory of Prentiss, was the es-
sence of impressiveness-when a neg
TO woman entered the room. And
hereupon he changed the subject.
When bedtime came the old gentle
man stood on a rug in front of a large
fireplace, meditatively winding his
watch. His wife sat on a straight
back chair, glancing over the harmless
advertisements in a religious newspa-
per. In the parlor they had spent an
agreeable evening, with music and

ant subject, but there was something
finer than an illusion, and it had pass
ed from husband to wife and back
again - alook at each other and a
glance toward Louise. But they had
laughed at the girls imitation of a

The Major hung his watch on a nail

came the p~ling-plang of the boys

ried you'll find that your wife will
look with GOODNESS or contempt upon
your most intimate friend. It's the alb.

Thomas" said his mother, "you
will find nothing Of the sort; but I'll
tell you what you may expect from the
right sort of a wife-contempt for a
coarse, low-bred fellow. should you in
sist upon holding him as your closest
companion"
Mother" Louise spoke up, 81 think
you are too severe. MI. Bats is hem
med in with faults, but he has many
good points. And I can understand
why he is necessary to father. l am
fond of him, and l am almost ready to
declare that at times he is almost ne
cessary to me. No, l won't make it as
strong as that. but l must say that at
times 1t is a keen pleasure to jower

asked, "Jower with him? Where did
you get that word?"

The Republics Red Heart.

One man says that the heart Of the
nation is at the great capitol building
at Washington, another that it is in
Wall street, another that it lies in the
Mississippi valley, with its marvellous
agriculture; another that its pulsations
can be most clearly discerned on the
board Of trade in Chicago, another that
It is found in u great educational in
stitutions. Each opinion is in a way
Justified perhaps; but, gracefully con-
ceding the merit of each claim, we still
think that this most vital organ may
be best observed in a night ride from
Connellsville to Pittsburg, where is dis
closed a Dantean panorama the like of
which can be seen nowhere else on
earth. What the stoking rooms are to
the ocean greyhound-the place where
all the power and force are generated
to carry forward the magnificent ship
to her destination, alike Indifferent to
wind or wave-is the weird and Titan
ic vision disclosed by the iron and coal
industries of Pittsburg and vicinity to
the country's splendid progress. The
miles of coke ovens aglow in the mid
night, fires which, like the altar flame
Of heather sacrifice. never go out; blast
furnaces by the score belching forth
their lurid flames heavenward, the
blue and green %sulphurous fires illumi-
mating the landscape in a most I'M
earthly manner; the great rolling mills
where human demons seize and
straighten the white hot rails, for
twenty miles a roar, a din and glazing
inferno where coal and coke and ore
and electricity work night and day
celebrating the power and facilities for
all the progress of the republic-here
Is great red heart of the nation.
Muffle these coke ovens, shut down
these blast furnaces, close their rolling
mills, let a normal darkness once more
brood over Pittsburg, and it will sig
nalize the death of America.

The Right and the Wrong Way.

There is a rare secret connected with
the making of work-common. every
day hard work-a pleasure instead of a
burden. So much Of the work of life
is done in the wrong way, in the hard
est way, and so becomes of necessity
a burden. Indifference to or lack Of
the knowledge of the right and best
way to do things is largely what fills
he earth with walls over the tyranny
of labor. To illustrate, a man UNDER
takes to NOW grass with a dull scythe;
he tries to pillow his field with a plow
which will not scour; he tries to work
too many acres; he milks his cows in
a filthy yard or barn; he neglects to
oil up and runs with hot boxes the
year round. There is no sort OF sense
in doing these things this way. II is
the wrong the burdensome, way, and
no nan living can take any pleasure In
his work so done. This is the reason
why some people can accomplish SO
much more and do so much better
work than others. They have fouRa'
out the difference betwee nthe right
and the wrong of doing work.

the Clubhouse. With the dusk of Sat
urday evening new negroes came.
In the city they had idled the summer
away, gambling, and had now come
with nimble fingers to pick cotton dur

throw dice at night. Gaunt, long-leg-

awkwardly capered on a sand-bar.

the landscape a pail of thin, pale
smoke; but, like the end of the rain

It was a time to work, but also to

CHAPTER V-(Continued.)

"Please don't say that. I don't want
to hurt him. l would rather make him
mad than to hurt him. Oh, l don't
know what ails me, l am so restless
and unhappy. I have read every way
to cure myself, but can't have head
and read until I haven't any sense, and
now I don't know what to do. But
don't you tell me what not to do;
don't say anything, but be your own
sweet SELF"
She took up a brush from the dress
er, touched her mothers hair, and
said: LET me, please" She loosened
the thick coil. Beautiful" she said.
Don't you know how l used to tease
you to let me comb it, a long time
ago? But it wasn't as pretty then as
it is now"
Through her fingers the white hair
streamed ,glinting in the light now
sobered by the falling of dusk.
The Majors step was heard at the
door. "Come in, father. See, l am at
my cid employment" And in their
faces and in the hair streaming
through his daughters fingers the old
smiling at them. Out in the yard the
fox-hounds began to yelp, and a gal
Looping horse stopped with a loud, jolt
ing "gluck'' at the gate. Then came
authoritative commands, and then a
jar as if some one had leaped upon
the porch. There was brisk walking,
the opening and slamming of doors,
and then at Louise's door a voice de-
manded: what are you all doing
here in the dark? Amt supper ready?
I'm as hungry as she bear"
The Majors son Tom had arrived.
And just at that moment, and before
any one replied to him, the supper
bell began to ring. Takes me to
bring things about, Ell? You people
might have waited here hungry for an
hour. What are you doing here, any
way? Lou brushing MANS hair and

you wouldn't be so rough. There,
daughter, that will do. Just coil it.
That's it; thank you. Major, I do
wish you wouldn't laugh at the
brusqueness of your son; you encour-
age him."
Tom took his mother by the should
ers and turned her face toward the
door. He was a clean-looking, blond
tsh, fellow, younger than his sister
an athlete, a boxer, with far more
restlessness of muscle than absorp-
ton of mind. He had failed at Har-
ward, where his great-grandfather had
distinguished himself The had, with
the influence of a Congressman, Sc

there had fallen under the rapid fire of
a battery Of mathematics, and had
come home scouting at the humiliation
which he had put upon his parents.
and was now ready to submit himself
TO any other test that might present
itseif-was ready to borrow, to lend,
or to fight. He picked negro tunes on
q banjo. and had been heard hoarsely
to sing a love song under a cypress
tree. He had now just returned from
the capital of the state, where he had
spent two days watching the flank
movements of a military drill.
