day labor-at Guildhall. What the
little woman suffered in the first ten
years of her married life she alone
knows. Her beauty changed-but she
still was beautiful. Trouble and hard
work could not change everything, and
her eyes were just as flashing and her
hair as black as ever. The husband
still drank hard, but for a time she
thought she had won the victory. He
quit drinking, settled down to work,
and there were three years of compare

the mothers heart, hungering for years
for her lost boy, was satisfied.
The birth of Claire was fatal to his

The Stransest Financial Transaction
Ever Known in This Country.
A ROMANCE is BACK OF 1T ALL.
Capt. Milo Green Tilted by the Girl He Loves
Advances Money, with Her Child Secu-
rity. When She Gets in Financial Diff
culties-Claim Is Due September
n of This Year.

Peacham, VT One Of the strangest
mortgages ever recorded in this coun-
try is held by Capt Milo Green, rich
recluse farmer, living near this place.
The amount of the debt is $500, and
the security given is bright-eyed, sew
en-year-old boy.
The mortgage falls due on September
II OF this year, and if it is not paid
promptly on that day no one who
knows Of the case doubts for minute
but that it will be foreclosed, and lit
tie Claire Leseuer will pass from his
parents to Capt. Green.
That 1t may not be paid is more than
\ possibility.
To tell the story of this remarkable
transaction, and the strange romance
which is back of it, it is necessary to
30 back a number of years, and to the
town Of st. Johnsbury, where all of the
characters, with the exception of the
boy, lived 20 years ago. At that time
Capt. Green was but beginning to

$1,000 in cash for a mortgage on the
boy"
The mother wept awhile, and then
sobbed her assent. Two weeks later,
when Jaques was able to sit Up in bed,
the mortgage was given, and both hus.
band and wife signed it.
Swears He'll Foreclose.
Milo Green put the document in his
pocket and rose to go. The wife was
sobbing. AS he started towards the
door Milo turned suddenly and blazed
out at his sick rival:
Before the Almighty" he declared,
IF you don't brace up and be- man
and support this woman and child I'll
foreclose the mortgage the minute it
falls due. / did this in the hope of
making a man of you. I wish you'd
debut, if she wants you to live, I'll
give you chance. If you drink and
fail to pay that mortgage I'll take the
boy"
From that day on Jacques was sober.
AS he slowly regained his health he
sought work and found it in lumber
yard, and he and his wife settled down
to save money to raise the mortgage on
their boy. Every six months they paid
the interest, and the little fortune in
| the bank grew larger.
They do not know it yet, but every
cent of interest money that has been
paid is in bank at st. Johnsbury to
the order of one Claire Leseuer.
The struggle has been hard one,
but the couple is certain that, by extra
work and extra saving, they can al
most accumulate enough to settle the
debt by September. The father is wor-
rying over the prospect, and working
harder and harder to get money enough
to settle the debt, but, strange as 1t
may seem, the mother is not worrying

Minister Takes a Hand.
A few weeks ago the minister heard
of the strange mortgage that Capt
Green held on the little boy up at
Guildhall, and he drove over to remon.
strate with the captain about such un-
natural traffic.
What Capt. Green said to the minis.
ter is not entirely known. But it is a
strange thing that the next day, on
meeting a neighbor, Capt. Green re.
marked that the preacher was a pretty
decent sort of fellow, and the minis.

washing and ironing, doing anything to
support herself and child. But the
strain, the worry and the shame told
on her beauty.
Then the drunkard husband fell sick,
and affairs came to crisis.
Green to the Rescue.
How Milo Green ever heard Of the
plight of the girl who Tilted him no
one knows, but one morning he ap-
peared in Guildhall and inquired the
way to the home of the LeseueFs. The
mother, worn out by nights vigil at
the bedside of her sick husband and
the care of her child, answered the
knock on the door, and saw her old
sweetheart standing there. With a
word of sympathetic greeting he enter
ed and spoke with her plainly. He
urged her to leave the man who had
treated her so badly, but she refused
He pleaded that she owed it to herself
and her child, but she still refused, and
he departed.
An hour later he returned with a
woman, bearing food and wine and del.
icacies. He assumed control, sent the
mother to bed, sent the woman to care
for the sick man upstairs and then sat
down to rock the baby to sleep.
Loved the Child.
Never before in his life had Milo
Green held child in his arms. 1t
was reputed among the little boys and
girls of his neighbors that he ate chill
dren, after boiling them alive, and, in
substantiation of this charge there are
several small boys who declare he
growled at them when he caught them
in his apple trees.
Yet, with the infant in his arms, the
man appeared happy, and the child,
which had been fretful and peevish,
seemed to find something to trust in
the hard, stern face above it, and fell
asleep with it's arms clasped around
the mans neck.
Three hours later, when the mother
awoke, refreshed, the house was clean
ed, nourishing meal ready for her,
the woman had gone to employ nurse
for the sick man, and Milo Green was
sitting before the fire with the boy.

and he seemed happy. Marie said he
was almost smiling as he watched the
boy.

was a reserved, cold, silent nlan--as
forbidding and cold to most people as

Mercier all the warmth that was in
his nature was turned.
Wealth was beginning to come to

There never was any promise, so far

would marry him for his money-if not
for himself; and some thought perhaps
she would love him because he was Sc

The late Professor Laycock Of
Edinburgh university used to divide
idiots into two classes-poyerty
idiots and luxury idiots. The for

deformity and the latter by refined
and delicate confguration, small

many generations with breeding in

as aristocratic noodles. There was
less breeding in and in among the
upper classes than there used to be,
but he himself did not doubt that
