Then she went to her daughter
Claypole's apartments, and talked with
her about her children and her health.
When they parted 1t was very late;
the palace was dark and still and Mrs.
Cromwell, with careful economies in
her mind and a candle in her hand,
went softly along the lonely, gloomy
corridors. Her little grandson had a
Slight fever; she vas not satisfied
with her daughters health, and the
care of the great household she ruled
was a burden she never wholly laid
down. In this vast, melancholy pile
of chambers, she thought Of her sim
pie home in St. Ives with longing and
affection. Royal %splendors had given
her nothing she cared for, and they
had taken from her the constant help
and companionship that in humber
circumstances her good, great hus-
band had given her.
She paused a moment before the
door of his room. She wondered if he
was asleep. If SO, she would on no
account awaken him, for in these days
he slept far too little. She opened the
door softly and saw him sitting mo-
! tionless by the fire, his eyes closed,
his massive form upright and perfect
ly at rest.

ought to be in bed and asleep"
His great darkliGg soul flashed into
his face a look of tenderest love.

I could sleep. l do indeed. | need it.
God knows | need it, but my heart
wakes, and | do fear it will wake this
night-if SO, there is no sleep for me.
You see. dearest, how God mingles u
cup. When | was Mr.. Cromwell, |
could sleep from night till morning.
When l was Gen. Cromwell, my labors
gave me rest. Now that | am Lord
Protector Of three Kingdoms, sleep,
alas! is gone far from me-. In my
mind | run t and fro through all the
land. l have a thousand plans and
anXieties. Elizabeth, my dearest; great
place is not worth looking after. 1t

CHAPTER xiV.-(continued.)

Il haven't a doubt of it," said Doc
tor Verify. We'll, Robert, did they
have nothing to say to you?'" he asked,
turning to Admiral Blake.
They asked me to treat my men
well. and I said, I'll treat them like
myself. III give them plenty of meat
and drink and plenty of fighting and
prize money and SO to their good
will we passed all through the city,
and, as l live, twas the ~pleasantest
progress any mortal men could de-
sire"
Then Doctor Verify began to talk
Of the American Colonies, and their
wonderful growth. And as Cromwell
listened his face grew luminous; he
seemed to look through his eyeballs,
rather than with them, and when Mil
ton ceased there was silence until he
spoke.
Il see," he said, "a great people. a
vast empire, from the loins Of all ma
tions it shall spring. And there shall
be no king there. But the desire Of
all hearts shall be toward is, and it
Shall We d Covert LOT the oppressed anu
bread and wine and meat for those
ready to perish" Then signing. he
seemed to realize the near and the
present, and he added. "Twas but
yesterday l wrote to that good man,
the Rev. John Cotton of Boston. |
have told him that l am truly ready to
serve him and the rest of the breth-
rem and the churches with him"
With these words he rose from the
table, and Mr.. Milton, the Ladies Mary
and Frances Cromwell and Jane Swat
ham went into the great hall, where
there was an exceedingly fine organ.
In a short time Mr.. Milton began to
play and to sing, but the girls walked
up and down talking to Jane of their
admirers, and their new gowns, and of
love letters that had been sen them
in baskets of flowers.
When the music ceased, the even
ing was far spent, and Cromwell said
as he drew Frances and Jane within
his arms, Bring me the Bible, Mary.

DOG BROUGHT A BASKET.
Story Is True, But No Affidavits Go
With II.

Story Is True, But No Affidavits Go
With 1t.
DR.. Murray of Carrollton tells the
following remarkable story to the Re-
publican-Record of C~arrollton, Kas.,
about his dog. He insists the story
is true, but wisely refrains from
throwing in an affidavit with it:
"A short while ago some boys from
Mr.. M%urray's neighborhood went to
the mineral springs, and the dog fol.
lowed them. Near the spring the dog
discovered three little dead pigs ly.
ing in a ditch, and he brought them
up to the level ground and laid them
out in a row. He tried several ways
to get hold of all three pigs, SO that he
could carry them home, but failed in
each effort. He left them lying on the
bank and was gone quite a while, and
when he came back he had a bucket
in his mouth. Depositing the bucket
on the ground, he picked the pigs up
one at a time, dropped them into the
bucket, picked the bucket up and
trotted home with an air of triumph.
Several of the neighbors say they saw
the dog passing with a bucket in his
mouth, but admit they did not know
what it contained"

Little Hope in That Quarter.

Assistant Secretary of the Interior
Ryan. at n time a sheriff in his M
tive state, relates how he was at one
time ordered to arrest an Indian who
had been selling whisky to his red
friends on the reservation. After the
sheriff had captured Poor 10" he
CAV him a sound lecture on the de.
pravity of his conduct. The Indian
listened stolidly to the reprimand, and
finally asked:
mo way Ingun git outer this?"
mo one can help you now but God"
was the reply.
Sadly the prisoner shook his head.
Then he murmured: GOD heep like
Uncle Sam Injun never see Him!"-

SOLVER, dear Oliver"

Mr.. Milton has been giving us Eng
lish song. now we will have the loftier
music of King David"
And w shall get no grander music,
sir" said Doctor Owen, than is to be
found in the Bible. Sublimity is He
brew by birth. We must go to the
Holy Book for words beyond u
words. Is there q man living who
could have written that glorious
hymn.
lord, Thou hast been our dwell
ing place in all generations;
Before the mountains were
brought forth, or ever Thou hadst
formed the earth and the world; even
from everlasting to everlasting Thou
art God'?"
Cromwell did not answer; he was
turning the leaves of the dear, homely
looking volume which his daughter
had laid before him. She hung affec-
tfonately over his shoulder, and when
he had found what he wanted, he look
ed up at her and she smiled and nod
ded her appreciation. Then he said:
Truly, l think no mortal pen but
st. Johns could have written these
lines: and l give not st. John the
honor for the Holy One must have
put them into his heart. and the
hand OF his angel guided his
pen!." And he began to read, and the
words fell like q splendid vision, and
a great awe filled the room as they
dropped from Cromwell's lips.
And when he ceased there was a
silence that could be felt, q silence
almost painful, ere DR.. Owens silvery
voice penetrated 1t with the words of
the Benediction. Then the Protector
and Mrs. Cromwell kissed the girls
and the clergymen blessed them. and
they went to their rooms as from the
very presence OF God.
But Mrs. Cromwell fingered a long
time. She could not rest until she had
seen the silver and crystal and fine
damask put away in safety; and she
thought It no shame to look-as her
Lord did-after the fragments Of the
dinner.
II will not have them wasted" she
said to the steward, NOR given to

Elizabeth hath . list of poor families.

What troubles you in particular,
Oliver?"
"One of the things that troubled my
Great Master, when he wept and pray
ed and tainted in Gethsemane. He
knew that those whom he loved and
who ought to strengthen and comfort
him, would soon forsake and flee from
him. | think Of the men who have
trusted me to lead them in every bat
tie; who never found me wantingx the
lei with whom | have taken counsel,
with whom | have prayed; tie men
who were to me as Jonathan tc David,
and when | think of them r1y heart is
like to burst in twain. They are be-
ginning to forsake me, and their Geld
looks and formal words hurt me like
a sword thrust; they do, Elizabeth,
they do indeed"
IF you had made yourself King, as
you might have done, as you ought to
have done, you would have lad less
opposition. John Verify said SO to me.
He said E%nglishmen were used to a
king, but they did not know what to
make of a protector"
king! King! am king IN very
truth, call me what they like. And
for that matter, why should | not be
king? Doctor Owen tells me he word
king comes from Konig anc means
the man that can, l am tn At man.
Everything in Europe comes from
some battlefield, that was their first
title to k%in8ship. How many battles
have l fought and won? newer lost
a single field-how could I, .he Lord
of Hosts being with me? AS Z hero of
battle, there is no man to stand be-
fore me. Why should I not ns king
I'VE the three countries l have con-
quered? John Verify is righ,. Eng
lishmen think a protector il 4 ruler
for emergency. They feel temporary
and uncertain with a protector. A
kingship is a settled Office"
Take the crown, Oliver. Why not?"
:" have no orders to take it. MY
angel told me when l was a boy. that l
should become the greatest mai in
England, but he said not that | should
be king. And I know also from One
who never lied to me. that this nation
will yearn after its old monarchy. I
am here to do q work, to SOW seeds
that will take generations to ripen.

SALT RHEUM ON HANDS.
Suffered Agony and Had to Wear
6andaqes All the Tine-Another
Cure by Cuticura.

Another cure by Cuticura is told Of
by Mrs. Caroline Cable, of Waupaca,
Wis, In the following grateful let.

Then taking his wife's hand tender
ly between his own, he said with in

ing can say l sought this place-not
a man or woman living on English
ground. | a say in the presence OF
God, l would have been glad to have
lived with thee under my woodside
all the days of my life, and to have
kept my sheep and plo&ed my land
rather than bear the burden of this
government"
DO you think the Puritan govern
ment will die with you, Oliver?"
Il think It will, but the Puritan
principles will never die. The kings
OF the earth banded together cannot
destroy them. They will spring up
and flourish like the grass that tar
rieth not for handspring where none
has sowed or planted them-spring in
the wilderness and in the city, until
they possess the whole earth. This I
know, and an sure of. After all, Eliza
beth, there is nothing got by this
worlds love, and nothing lost by it's
hate. This is the root of the matter;
my position as Protector is either Of
God, or OF man. II | did not firmly be-
lieve it was of God, | would have run
away from it many years ago. If it
be of God, he will bear me up while
| an in it. If it be of man it will
shake and tumble. What are all our
histories but God manifesting that
he has shaken and trampled upon
everything he has not planted?"
My dearest you are now in a good
mind. Lie down and sleep in his care,
for he does care for you" And she
put her arms around his neck and
kissed him, and he answered:
Thou art my comfort, and l thank
God for thee. When he laid out my
life's work he thought of thee to
sweeten it,"
She left him then, hoping that he
would shelter his WEAKNESS in dark
ness and in sleep. But he did not. The
words he had spoken, though so full
of hope and courage, wanted that au-
Identification from beyond, without
which they were as tinkling brass to
Oliver. He locked his chamber door,
retired his soul from all visibles. and
stood solemnly before God, waiting to
hear what he would say to him. And
in a m all the trouble of outward
things grew at peace with that within,
for he stood motionless on that daz-
Zling line where mortal and immortal
verge-that line where all is lost in
love for God, and the beggar Self for
gets to ask for anything. The austere
sweetness of sacrifice filled his SOU.
Tue divine Hymn of Remuneration was
on his lips.
DO as thou wilt with me-" he cried,
but, oh, that | knew where to find
thee! Oh, hat l might come into
thy presence"
Then there was suddenly granted to
his longing that open vision, open
only to the spirit, that wondrous evi.
dence that very near about us lies
the realm of spiritual mysteries, and
the strong man bowed and wept great
tears of joy and sorrow. And after
that Peace-peaca u~nspeakable and
full OF gladness, and he slept like a
sinless child while his angel came in a
dream and comforted him. For SO
God giveth I . his beloved while they
sleep.
