perfect happiness that had been hers only
few weeks agol And how did she only
succeed in fully understanding that she
had then been really happy and had not
known it. The angel Of bliss had tar
ried with her for nights and days. and
she, too. culpably unaware!
Her brain pictures came and went in
one unvarying triangle Of great troubles.
Her fathers dreadful mental disease,
with all the divergent and dependent
misery of this more than living death,
blighting and destroying their happy lit.
Ito home ut one terrible blow. Her
strong and growing passion for a man
whom she had never seen face to face,
and whom she only knew through the
partial word pictures of his friend and
assistant; together with the attitude Of
that friend and assistant toward her.
And finally, as the smallest angle Of
this triangle of constantly pressing griefs
the loss Of her property upon which
she had built her hopes of future sue
cesses to be achieved in the great city
that was so fast spreading down and
across the prairies, that its subtle at.
traction mad iQng as? reached the wooded
bills of the Wabash country, and was
drawing to itself all Of the ambition, the
daring, the discomfort, the spirit Of ad.
venture of these wide valleys and shaded
hills, and wood-hedged prairies.
Cutting into the second angle of this
triangle, and even into both the others
was perplexing mixture of regret and
indignation conferred upon Mr.. Mason
Regret that she had been left, so far as
he knew or could know, in the attitude
of having treated him with inexcusable
rudeness and lack of feeling.
What did he think of her; what could
he think Of her in the light of that last
evening when he had appeared for brief
time endowed with god-like attributes
that enabled him to defy the very demon
of the hurricane?
What magnificent man must his prin
cipal be, indeed, to have developed such
heroic qualities In this underling-th(
man who labored with him for a stipu-
lated price, as he had confessed to her!
How had he slipped away like a thief
under cover of the night with all the
gossips of Sandtown wagging their heads
and smiling the knowing smile of absolute
faith in the certain villainy of the fee
ing man! Why had he not taken time
to come to her openly and without fear,
as he had done often and often before?
And could 1t be true as more than in
timated by Conrad Redden, that he was
now In the neighborhood for the base
and heartless purpose of purchasing all
the heavily mortgaged property of the
Sandtown people for one-tenth of its real
value, just at the time when a series Of
unfortunate speculations had crushed the
Sandtown Farmers Bank, and thus put
IT. out of the power of the people to Dor
row money with which to save their
homes?

ing a good appearance through the
season-when you don't hang it right.
It's a sort of passe look that makes
you think you were misled in the quail
ity of the goods-and you paid the
price for something first-rate.
Not every woman has long gown
trunk or a gown box in which to put
her garments loosely placed and so
no creases ensue. The average woman
hangs her skirts and waists on a hook
in a cioset-and spoils their appear
ance in short order.
To obviate this, get some coathang-
ers, just ordinary coathangers. Slip
the curved bar into the top of your
skirt and hang the long wire hook on
the hook in the closet. Hang your
waist the same way-the bar will hold
the back and front straight out.
Do this and you will be surprised by
the quite new look of your skirts and
waists for a long while. They will
wear better, too-so it pays all around
to spend a very little money for coat
hangers and then to use them.-Ex-
change.

rhe secret of Good discipline.

One great secret Of good discipline
by principles, not laws. Where posi-
BILE keep your hands off. Better too
great freedom than too little.
Give little loophole. When the
daughter goes to spend the afternoon
with a friend don't mention the pre-
else minute for her return. Say rath-
err: BE at home in time to meet papa
with hands and face washed and hair
brushed.'' Then should the little girl
be a few minutes late it is not disobe-
dience and punishment need not dark
en- an afternoon.
Better not' will secure disobedi-
ence without punishment when must
not and shall not often fail, partic-
ularly when they are attached to a
threat Unless elf-government is
taught parental discipline is imperfect.
1t is valuable to give the children the
feeling that they are necessary to
mamma and papa as helpers, compan-
ions. confdants.
The greatest inducement to be order
ly and put things in their places is
that il saves mamma steps. If the
mothers head aches let her rest it
against the little girls shoulder and
see how quickly responsive is the love
and sympathy Of that wee heart. At
ter that she will tiptoe around and
whisper in her play lest the pain grows
worse

Mrs. Naomi d. Wells, aged 20, for
seven years has kept light burning
at right in the window of her humble
cottage on Seward street in the hope
that her son, Frank D. Wells, who
disappeared seven years ago, may re-
turn to her.
She is in destitute circumstances
and every effort has been made to in
duce her to so to the old ladies' home,
but despite her extreme poverty she
.stubbornly refuses to leave the little
home to which she expects her lost
boy to return.
|. In 1897 the son, then 20 years old,
with two compapions, set out for a
journey down the Missouri river in a
bouseboat. His mother gave him $500
before he left Soon after he went
away the mother received word that
he had been killed in st. Joseph.
She went to st. Joseph, had the body
exhumed, declared 1t was not that Of
her son, and returned home and ever
since has kept lighted lamp in the
window OF her cottage. The son was
an only child and a graduate of the
University of Nebraska. Omaha Bee.

The Girl from School.

The daughter who comes home from
boarding school is often a disappoint-
ment to her mother. Is it not so? She
is inclined to be critical and make re-
marks about the furniture, the table,
even your gowns, which hurt bitterly,
even though she is your daughter. She
seems disconnected with the old life.
And you are at a loss as to what is to
be done. But do not take the situation
too seriously. And, above all things,
do not harass her with showing her
what you consider her 'plain duty"
She loves you just as much, but she is
young, and has been away.
Although she seems very self-as-
sured, very confident of herself and
her abilities, she has only not gone
far enough to realize how little she
knows. She must be led by affection,
and led with tact and gentleness. If
she wants to make changes in the
home life, so far as they are possible,
permit her to do so. 1t will give her
occupation, and possibly the new ideas
she brings out will mean something to
you, too.

Mrs. Mckinley To-day.

Mrs. Mckinley has aged since that
terrible blow; her hair is little whittier,
her gray eyes not so bright. Her ex-
preston is sad, and when she speaks
there is a slight culver Of the lips
that indicates some Ling of the great
grief ever present with her. She goes
to drive nearly every day, and every
where and by every one is greeted
with tender and sympathetic cordial
ity. Her general health is improving.
and she is now able to take an interest
in all the household matters connect
ed with her Unconstitutional Maya
zine.

Leather Covered Furniture.

Leather covered furniture should be
frequently sponged with warm water
softened with borax and rubbed per-
fectly dry with an old soft cloth; then
rub in few drops of glycerin, after
which polish well with chamois.
When leather acquires a shabby, dull
look it may be freshened by applying
the white Of an egg, slightly beaten
with bit of flannel, says the Ladies'
World.

Come to my arms. my darling,
Come, for the nightfall is near;
Come, and thy mother shall send thee
To dreamland with never fear.
Come, and thy mother shall sing thee
A lullaby softly and low
Sing thee to rest and to dreamland
Ere darker the day doth grow.
And as thou sleepest, my dear one,
Visions will come to her eyes
Visions of thee, strong in manhood,
Noble and gentle and wise.
Her heart will glow at the picture,
Thrilling with Joy and with pride,
Yet the tears sadly fall as she presses
Thee close, little one, to her side.
And she knows that always at twilight
Wherever, wherever thou art,
The same little lullaby, darling,
She'll sing to thee down in her heart

The Rich Are Slow Payers.

1t is notorious, writes Cleveland
Moffett in Success, that the rich are
often scandalously slow in paying
their bills. l recall one instance where
the wife of a multi-millionaire (she
was afterward divorced), took no no.
tice, month after month, of a bill
amounting to over $4,000 for her
daughters wedding rousseau, and this
bill was not paid for more than a
year after the ceremony, and only
then because a resourceful collector
''held up the multi-miilionaire himself
in the street one day, and finally got
his check.
I have been told of several rich
women in the smart set, two of them
very rich, who are wont to haggle over
prices in the shops as if they were in
genteel poverty. One of these ladies,
whose snowy Newport fetes are wide
ly proclaimed, tried, on certain occa-
sion, to beat down" an estimate for
candle shades, favors, ETC., that she
wanted in hurry for dinner dance,
and, having failed in her effort, she
finally exclaimed: "Why, you oughtn't
to charge me cent for these things
Think Of the advertising you can get
out Of it! If you treat me right I'll
see that your place IS mentioned by
all the reporters!'
And another, whose husband is one
Of the richest men in the world, actu-
ally wept before a New York dress
maker in her pleadings for a reduc-
ton of $15 on the price Of certain
garment that she simply had to have
but couldn't afford, she declared. out
Of the small allowance made her by
her husband

CHAPTER yIII.-(Continued.)
Billy Biler looked very much relieved
at something. Probably at the prospect
Of trouble. Or perhaps that there was
40 public charge that any of Squire
Wickly's money had gone into his pocket.
At the same moment Lizzy Wickly was
laying:
Il don't mind it, father. And you
mustn't. We can't make 1t any better
by worrying so over it. And so far as
the land is concerned"-but she could
not go on without a sort Of spasm OF
the throat that strangied her for ten sec
ords-"why, 1t isn't such a beautiful
tract as al that Next time I'll buy a
quarter section in the second bottom
prairie. That will be q sensible pur-
chase, won't it?''
Mr. Wickly looked at her with his
brcws knitted into the sort Of lowering
frown that had until to-day been IN
known upon his kindly face.

strange flushing of the whole face that
had made DR.. May shake his head, when

That's the plot that you are capable of
concocting and carrying forward! You
and that scoundrel, Mason. He put you
up to it! That's what you were In the
woods that day for!'
He came toward her with his hands
clenched and his lips drawn In a sort
of horrible smile that changed and vi
brated between the appearance of CHASTITY
mirth and fierce anger. She had never
dreamt of such mood in him. For he
had been the best and kindest Of faith
ers-never very helpful at bread-win-
ming, TO be sure. But so uniformly good
and kind, and sensible! And now in this
awful mood he surely meant to do her
harm:
At that instant Mrs. Wickly coming
In, fortunately announced in her ordinary
cheerful manner that dinner was ready,
and 80 on in John; don't keep me wait

As if instinctively, or by force of long
habit, John Wickly turned slowly away,
and with the menacing look fading into
q sullen and brooding frown, he went
slowly out of the room and into the
kitchen, where they heard him moving a
chair as he always did in sitting down
to dinner.

A Good Cleanser.

A mixture of equal parts of naph-
tina, alcohol and chloroform is an ex-
cellent cleansing agent. Being very
volatile the bottle must be closely
corked.
Worsted stuffs of all grades may be
washed in gasoline without fear of
fading or shrinking.
If you can do this out Of doors it is
best to take all your apparatus into
the open air, with no fire or artificial
light near. If, as is more probable,
you must work in the house, shut
yourself into the bathroom and set the
window open wide. Lay the breadths
several at time-in a wash basin,
cover with gasoline, put a close lid on
tbs. bowl or boiler and leave for half
an hour. Lift then, wetting your
harfls as little as may be, and shake
and souse alternately for two or three
minutes. Do not rub. Hang in the
air to drip and dry and the work is
done.
