You have been filling the child's
head with wicked thoughts" he said
How dare you do it? He has in
suited Mrs. Bretman, and you are the
cause l have half mind to send you
packing; you deserve it."

better than young man. She was a
swate lady
You were good to her and are still
good to her child" said the gentle
man, gravely; but remember, no more
of this underhand work. You must
teach the child to love his new mother
and to obey her"
obey he may" said Maggie, but
love can't be taught; and we've but
one mother in the world, however
many wives an husbands we may
have"
The man looked at her sharply, but
there was no insolence in her face:
and he left the room and returned to
his new wife. and saw no more of
Freddie for that day. Indeed, the
child did not seek him. Never before
had he been harshly used, and the
shake his father had given him had
been terrible thing to him-the very
confirmation Of Maggie's prophecy
More and more he chung to the old
nurse, and, though Mrs. Bretman tried
to make friends with both, the old
woman's grim face and cold monosyl-
tables and the Child's passionate re-
pulses were too much for her. She
abandoned the effort. And the boy
took his meals in the nursery, walked
out with the nurse and brooded in
silence, as very little children do, over
his wrongs.
1t was easy enough to forget him in
the honeymoon billing and cooling, and
the father was careful to give Maggie
all she asked for-new shoes and caps
and toys and books That was his
duty; as he often said, The never for
got his duty to Maria's child" But
what his father had to do with his
comforts or pleasures, Freddie did not
know; he laid all to the kindness of
old Maggie. Papa never kissed him, or
had him in to dessert, or took him out
to ride. The lady with the pretty hair
was his worst enemy. He grew used
to this state of things in time, and
used to kiss the picture in the attic
before retiring, and saying to that
Good night, mamma" but he was as
wretched as child could be, and no
one knew it. Even old Maggie did not
guess at the depth of loneliness within
the little breast

thing, really love children: and the

girl who was Freddie's step-mother,
though she had intended to pet her
husbands boy, had felt him the STUN
bling block to her happiness, even be-
fore she met him. She was very glad
that Maggie made him her very own,
and Stunned both carefully.
The weeks rolled by, and the months
followed them. If Maria's spirit had
ever wandered through the home
where she had once been SO happy it
must have flown weeping away-not
so much that she found another re-
posing upon her husbands bosom, for.
In pity Of human weakness and human
longing for living love, this might we'll
be forgiven by the angels-not that
her fair picture stood, with the cob
webs clinging to its frame, In the cold
garnet; but that the lonely boy, as IA
therless as he was motherless, dwelt
alone, save for the old servants faith
full love, In the very room where his
birth had been hailed with much re-
1oicing. Its the new lady does it."
said Maggie, honestly believing it, and
never guessing that she herself had
caused this unnatural arrangement
by her unwise chatter. She had
taught the boy that his step-mother
came as enemy. else he would have
greeted her with a kiss and been pct
ted until she came to leve him as her
own; else he would not have been ut
terly forgotten when one bright win
ter morning the sun arose upon a lit
tie face that its setting had not shone
upon, and Helen Bertram kissed the
unconscious lips Of her flrst-born.
And somehow, as this breath foated
over her cheek, the remembrance of
another child came to her, whose
mother slept in the cold grave-whose
sulky mouth and angry eyes when he
met her in the garden path had made
her loathe him. So might some other
woman feel toward her babe some day.
If she also slept beneath the church

But old Maggie did not come near

Dainty Nails.

The nails should extend just beyond
the ends of the fingers. 1t is danger
Gus to allow a greater length, for they
may be torn, and a less length will not
allow a shapely finish. Only the sharp
est scissors should be used in nail cut
ting. 1t is very essential to round off
the orners. When the nail surface is
very rough it may be rubbed once daily
with some finely powdered pumice
moistened with water. This will make
the nail smooth, but dull. A little
chalk will get rid of much Of the dull
ness and, after wiping, a film of olive
oil will restore the polish.

Mother Expresses Joy at
WONDERFUL CURE BY
CUTICURA REMEDIES


"My husband and FIVE children were
all afflicted with eczema. They had it
two years. We used all the home REM
edies we could hear of, without any
relief, and then went to a physician
and got medicine two different times,
and It got worse. It affected US all
over except head and hands. We saw
Cuticura Remedies advertised and con-
cluded to try them. So sent for $l00
worth, consisting of one cake of Cuticura
Soap, one box of Ointment, and one vial
of Pills, and we commenced to use them.
I do not know how to express my Joy
in finding cure, for two of my chill
dren were so bad that they have the
brown sears on their bodies where they
were sore. If it will be of any benefit
to you, you can publish my letter with
pleasure. Yours truly, Mrs. Maggie B.
