sixteen years passed, leaving Min
cent a widow with a lovely daughter
Just entering society, and a foster son
OF whom she was most proud.
"A young lawyer with a fine future
before him, said elder members Of
the bar.
Mamma, l want some antioue
jewels of grandma's to wear Thursday
10 the fancy dress party. May we not
open the box that is for my eighteenth
birthday? 1t is so near at hand" said
Eva Willard.
Yes, dear, go to the cedar chest
and bring the box, and | will open it.
replied her mother.
Il will go at once. But, mamma,
do you know that l have made Charles
promise to take me to the party. 1
know Edith Prescott will be Jealous"
Eva, the sister of Charles ought
not to he a cause of jealousy"
"But she knows that Charles and I
are not really brother and sister,"
You must not use that knowledge
against Edith. She and Charles have
always been fond of each other, and.
OF course, he loves you as a sister,"
We'll, sometimes, l am glad he is
not my brother" said the girl, as with
alert step she left the room.
When Eva had gone her mother fell
to thinking how devoted her daughter
was to Charles. This had been more
noticeable since Mr.. Millard's death,
when she had accidentally learned
that the young man was not related
to her.
Millicent and her friend, Mrs. Pres
colt, cherished the idea of more close
ly uniting the families by a marriage
of the orphans. The young people had
seemed to fall in with these wishes
until the last few months, when a
diminution os the young mans atten-
tons to Edith was noticed. Mrs. Mil
lard pondered over this, and her heart
warmed toward the wishes of her own
child. Eva's happiness was hers. But
what of Charles? The boy had not
seemed quite the same of late.
Mamma, here is the box; do open
it, quick" said the daughter, entering
the room.
AS Millicent fitted a key in the lock
and raised the lid, an odor of jasmine
greeted her. She remembered it was
her mothers ~favorite perfume. With.
In were various jewels, and an old
beaded handbag.

Eva.

Il must examine it," said the girl,
eagerly.
She unwrapped the parcel. Within
the flmy lace was an envelope ad-
dressed to Millicent Willard. Eva
handed it to her mother, who exclaim-
ed.
MY mothers writing! Daughter, l
must read this alone"
Millicent reverently opened and
read the letter her mother had tried
to speak of with her last breath. When

she was appalled, by the drift OF sands
that came to her from q long buried

After dining the young people walk

them from a window the mother MUIR

He flushed, then said:

persisted Mrs. Millard.

the young man, excitedly.
Trust me to guard the happiness OF

Charles to his foster father.

Eva at whatever cost to yourself"

matters?" l%aughingly inquired the girl
as she entered.
MY children, l have a story to tell
you. There was once a girl somewhat
OUNCE than you, Eva, the only child
of well-to-do parents. Every wish had
been gratified since infancy, until that
great event, the first true love of a girls
life, came to her. The man she loved
was good and nobly deserved the love
she gave him, but it was his misfortune
to be poor. She met him while visiting
a friend. When the consent of her pa
rents was asked their wrath vas terri

of happiness followed, then one day the
husband was carried home a corpse

Democratic harmony seems to
nave a vacarr svufo' in,~papth Am
boy, the party has been SO long split
In this city. The news, therefore,
that a meeting had been held at
which all differences have been set
aside and personal ambition made
n secondary cause to party success
is somewhat startling, to say the
least, and it will doubtless be the
means of forcing some renewed act
ivity in the republican camp.
In a growing city like Perth Am
boy it is hard to keep track of the
political leaning when elections are
as close as they are in Middlesex
county. Middlesex is always claim
ed by both parties and may be fair
ly classed in the doubtful column.
Perth Amboy, until a year or two
ago, has always been known Is a
democratic city and it might be so
yet had not fractional quarrels divid-
ed the voters so that the republic
ans, by united effort, had a walk
over. The new corners, however, are
,ntinually changing things and the
~, is so close hat the men moving
10 the city from one election to
another, are enough to change the
result. There is no doubt but that
$she new corners, of late, have been
a republican leaning until it is
~ possible that the democrats,
their rumpus among them
nave lost the advantage they
U\and it will be difficult for
them to regain it, especially in these
times when the republican party has
such an illustrious leader as Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The organization of a democratic
club, nevertheless, is going to make
things interesting and no doubt the
vote to be polled by them will be
much larger than in the past few
years. II the democrats are really
united. the election this fall will
tell, to a large extent whether or
not the city is democratic or repub-
lican.

Sweden and Norway have settled
their grievances in a sensible way.
The two countries could no longer
stand together so they agreed to sep
arate. Representatives met and the
articles were drawn up and signed.
That is all there was to it. How
much more civilized it was that for
both to rush to arms grab each other
by the throat and sec how much
distress they could cause in their
respective countries. These two
Scandinavian nations have set an ex-

M ILLICENT WILLARD was reminis
lvI cent. At -uch times from the
blank that once engulfed her life came
the question: What was the truth of
that experience? Was it not best to
let the waters of life flow on without
throwing stones to ripple the smooth
surface? There must be other women
whom the shadows of a darkened fate
had covered, and who were bravely
living through a secret sorrow with
perhaps the same fear that at times
came to her of a possible tragedy fol
lowing. She must fill her life win
some work that would drive away
these feelings. AS if in answer to this
wish, her husband coming home n
day said:
My dear, what do you think Pres
colt and his wife nave done now?"
Il presume, Justin, it must be some
new charitable move"
"Well-yes-they have taken a child
to raise, got her from the orphan asy-
lum at Lyndon; Prescott says there is
a fine boy they wish we could see.
What do you say to a drive out there
tomorrow" asked the gentleman.
why, you do not mean you would
follow the example of our friends?"
replied his wife.
THAT will rest entirely with you,
Millicent; | sometimes think a child
would fill your life more completely"
Have you thought me discontinued
with my life, or you, in the three years
since our marriage, Justin?" wistfully
regarding him.
mo, my dear, and l, too, am con-
tent" answered Millard.
A few days later Mrs. Prescott said
to her friend:
Il do wish you would go to see that
boy. 1t is so satisfying to know one
is doing some good in the world. Think
what a different liufe Edith as our
daughter will have to what might have
been. | know her parentage is good;
they furnished us proof of that"
The result was that her frienus saw
and adopted the boy alluded to. Inc
only one apparently disturbed by the
adoption was Mrs. Verne, Millicent's
mother, who for the year past, since
the death of her husband, was making
her home with her daughter.
what do you know of the child?'
she asked.
I'VE know that the matron, your old
time nurse, mother, vouches for the
entire responsibility of his parents.
His father was killed by an accident,
and the mother not being strong al
the time, never recovered from the
shock"
"And if others come to you, MILL
cent?"
There will always be room for
Charles in my home and heart. mother.
His eyes draw me wonderfully. He is
like some n | have known"
"Oh, that is Imagination" replied
Mrs. Verne.
Two years later a little daughter was
laid in tie arms OF M%illicent. When
the child began to lisp Gamma Mrs.
Verne was taken mortally i'll, and in
dying tried to speak some words to
her daughter. All that could be I'M
derstood was:
'The boy-leiter-in-"
Many days did Millicent search the
old lady's leffects. wondering over her
last wordsl There was a will in when
Charles. WIS left a house and lot and
Mr. Vernels watch. This was finally

had wished to speak.
