CHAPTER XIV.
NEW YEARS EVE.

1t had been wild ana wet On the last
day of the year when Godfrey Bysshe
set out for Knowlesworth hall; but
toward the afternoon the wind had fall
len, though the rain continued heavy
and drear. The weather, however, by
no means affected his spirits, which
were highly wrought at the prospect of
being soon with her whom he loved
with all the strength of an effection
to which maturity added force.
With the collar of his fur coat up
turned round his ears, he sat in a COM
Portable carriage whose windows, dim
with wet, shut out the sight of sodden
fields and dripping trees, of towns that
We're melancholy under the continued
doWnpour, and Of cherries stations.
While apparently reading II of the
pile of illustrated papers with which he
provided himself, in reality his thoughts
ran forward to the moment Of his meet
ing with Edith, when he might take her
hands in his. hear her words of well
come and look into her eyes.
When HIS train came into Balwash
station he started to his feet in happy
impatience, but was instantly tugged
back by a steel chain that, attached
at one end to his waist, had the other
fixed to a small japanned box that rest
ed beside him, which for the instant
he had forgotten. Putting it under his
arm he got out of the carriage, and as
men awaiting him.
The man saluted and made a motion
as If to relieve him of his burden, when

Il must soon, very soon," the cir
said eagerly.
But | hope vol will come to us fol

1T will be very pleasant if you car
manage it."
Nothing will make me happier"
perhaps Edith has not told you that
she was born on the first of January
II came as a New Years gift. Her
second name is Theodore, the gift OF
God.
She is Gods best gift to me-" Geof-
frey replied fervently.
on her return home, she and her aunt
were met at the Balwash station by
Max.
1t was the first time Edith had seen
MN since the morning he had attempt
ed his life, and this meeting, carrying
her suddenly back to that event made
her feel nervous and embarrassed. He,
however, had no such feelings, but
greeted them as confidently and with
as little aWkwardness as If nothing I'M
pleasant had happened.
The gates Of the lodge were thrown
open, while within them stood the
keeper, his wife. n children in their
best clothes, they waving holly boughs
while the parents curtesied and smiled
as Edith, putting her head out of the
window, nodded to them and answered
their homely greetings:
The carriage had no sooner reached
the great entrance than the hall door
was thrown open and half a dozen
dogs came bounding down, barking in
wild delight as they recognized their
long-absent mistress, jumping upon her
and o~yerturning each other in their
ant endeavors to claim her special
notice and receive her caress. On the
steps stood her stepfather, his hands
extended to her and behind him We're
a double row Of servants, headed by the
stately h~ousekeeper and the important
butler, each smiling and bowling, and
all anxious to express their pleasure
at her return.
She put her arms around the counts
neck and kissed him, her eyes brim-
ming with happy tears, and then spoke
to each OF the servants, who seemed
to her like old friends. They had hung
against the dark oak panels and from
the massive rafters Of the hall, whose
oak-with its polish Of centuries-and
whose armor reflected the leaping
flames of the wood fires burning on
open hearths between huge dogs of
silver.
And in her own room she found the
flowers she loved best, fresh from the
greenhouses and deliciously odorous.
They, no less than her bookshelf fav-
orites, selected for the intercourse of
quiet hours-seemed to welcome her
home, with a language eloquent OF
themselves II understood by her
alone.
At night, before going to bed, she
knelt beside 1t, to thank God for the
happiness Of which her heart was full
to overfiowing; to ask that she might
be made worthy If it, and to pray that
h n those dear to her might be
defended from all Ill. 5
AS she was still on her knees, q chord
Of music suddenly burst upon her ears,
the first chord of a quaint and ancient
Christmas carol-rich in harmony, de-
~votionally joyous, heart-stirring, up
lifting and teeming with associations.
TransfiXed and %rapturous she listened
to the village choir singing under her
windows. for the hymn seemed to her
exalted senses like a REPETITION of her
prayer and the promise Of its fulfil
ment.

Japanese Health.

Medical Record: The japanese
have taught Europeans and Amer
leans a lesson and quenched IN
some degree the confidence of the
Caucasian in his superior capacity to
do all things. Even in the matter of
diet, u lorg-cherished theory that
the energy and vitality Of the white
man is largely due to the amount of
animal food consumed, must undergo
revision.
The Japanese are allowed to be
among the very strongest people on the
earth. They are strong mentally and
physically. n yet practically they eat
no meat at all. The diet which enables
them to develop sue hardy frames
II such weil-balanced and keen
brains, consists almost wholly of rice,
teamed or boiled. while the better-to-
do add to this Spartan fare fish, eggs,
vegetables and fruit. For beverages
they use weak tea without sugar or
milk, and pure water, alcoholic stimu-
lants being but rarely INDUCED in. Wa
ter is imbibed. in chat We should con-
slider prodigieus quantities-to an Eng
ilishman, indeed, the drinking of so
much water would be regarded as mad
ness. h average japanese Individual
swallows about a gallon daily in divided
doses.
The japanese recognize the beneficial
effects of flushing the system through
Water-drinking, and they also cleanse
the exterior of their bodies to an ex-
tent unheard of in Europe or in Amer
lea.
Another-and perhaps his is the
usage on which the Japanese lay great
stres3-is that deep, habitual, forcible
inhalation of fresh air as an essential
for the acquisition of strength, and this
method is Sedulously practiced until it
becomes a part of their nature
The Japanese have proved tina a
frugal name of living is consistent
with great bodily strength-indeed, is
perhaps more so than the meat diet
of the white man. AS to the water
drinking habit, which is SO distinctive a
custom with them, it is probably an aid
to keeping the system free from blood
impurities, and might be followed with
advantage in European countries, to a
far greater extent than is at present
the case. Hydropathy and exercise
seem to be the sheet anchors of the
japanese training regimen, and, judg-
ing from results, have been eminently
satisfactory.

The old nan seated himself a NOM

But presently recovering himself he
rose and without further words TOOK

had received a severe shock.

with sudden excitement.

she answered.

Edith readily promised, inc he led
them down a flight Of narrow stone
steps from which a portal opened to the
road, where he babe them goodbye,
smiling at them as they departed.
II is a singular man." Sasari said,
as they drove away.
Il have great faith in him." Edith
said.
MY dear" her aunt commented,
faith is half the battle in a case like
yours"
IF so, the other half is Skill" she
answered.
With slow and meditative steps the
old man mounted the stone stairway
until he came to the room where his
visitors had been. Here he sat down
absorbed in thought, his eyes absently
fixed on the floor until his servant stood
before him.
Master. It is time 20 remove the cru

"The crucible!" exclaimed Zoffani,
starting to his feet and bringing him

life, which for the he had for

Far Reachina Affection.

Hal and Donald, little lads Of 5 and Z
years, would sometimes manifest their af-
lection for their parents by engaging in a
dialogue of this kind:
II love papa and mamma clear to Buff
falo."
We'll, 1 love them clear to Chicago
II love them clear to Omaha
Thus they would go by gigantic strides
until they reached San Francisco. when
one of them would cross the Pacific at a
single bound and say ~triumphantly:
We'll, l love pap and mamma clear to
Japan"
This would stump" the other boy, be-
cause both lads seemed to think that
Japan was the end of all space. One
evening. when the other boy had defeated
his brother by saying that he loved his
parents clear to JAPAN the younger
boy put on his thinking cap, and presently
he announced with a ring of triumph in
his voice:
We'll. I just don't care if you do love
papa and mamma clear to Japan. l love
them clear to hell!-June Llppincott's.
