EOL pal "a S1S Auu ONE1 D0h GlA
James Pierce in what should have
been his manly prime, and the
necessity for fleeing from his
tyranny and cruelty was over.
The verdict of tha physician
who was hastily summoned gave
them little hope Of even q partial
recovery; but ever conscious Of
having come so near to dtscrtion
of the helpless sufferer IN tie
time Of his greatest need, lis
wife and daughter devoted them-
selves untiringly Il, lis care, and
by force Of aiil aud skillfuI nnps-
ing. brought ll,at t. pass which
it had not seemed possible, ut
first, TO do.
There came q time. however,
when james Pierce sat up in an
easy chair aud began to evince a
little interest In life. LIE could
make known t0ei.her his wife or
daughter bis wife or daughter
his wants aud wishes. but no
further conversation was possi-
~
ble. IAll the hardness was gone
ouBof his face, and his gray eyes,
that for many years had been so
crafty and cruel in their express
sion, were soft and sad.
Looking in wonder upon the
change, Ruth and her mother
waited upon him lovingly and
patiently, feeling very thankful
indeed that they had not been
permitted To do that which had
once seemed to them to be the
only thing which could bring
them freedom from misery.
They had both found peace
and happiness in treasnring and
caring for the helpless husband
and father. whose nature seemed
entirely changed, and who, with
his speaking eyes and by all
means in his: power, expressed
his gratitude for their constant
labor in his behalf.
Ruth, of course, resigned her
position and cancelled all other
engagements in order to devote
herself TO her parents; and Mrs.
Pierce, placing the farm into the
hands of capable neighbor,
drew upon the ample means
which her husband had accumu-
lated to make his last days as
comfortable and easy as posi-
BILE, and also make the home as
bright and comfortable for her
self and Ruth as it could be
under the circumstances.
And SO time passed, till one
day James Pierce, his speaking
eyes full of perfect though late
love and appreciation of his wife
and daughter, yielded up the
remnant of his earthly life, and
went away from them, leaving
a void which they found it hard
to fill.
For his last days had truly
been better than his first, and
his gentle dependence upon
them had restored all natural
affection and made him nnspeak-
ably dear.
! cannot feel certain, said Ruth
one day during their time of
early mourning. that was wrong
in laying that hard plan against
him. for he was killing you,
Mother, BY inches; but I know
that I cannot be too thankful
that it was not permitted TO be
carried ont.

mother replied. He held us to
our duty in spite of ourselves.

Very elaborate new handbags for use
on short automobiling trips are now being
imported from Paris. These, Of course, are
not meant for touring. when a regular
travelling bag is used, but for afternoon or
morning trips when a stop is to be made
at restaurants for luncheon or dinner or a
little trip is to be made to a country inn
for tea. These bags are fitted with pow
der case and puff, simple manicure instru-
ments, comb hat brush. scent bottle, candy
box and pin case. Often they have also
clothes brushes of larger size, but very fire.
quently only one small brush is carried
such as is needed for the hat. Any inn,
however humble, may be relied upon for
clothes brush. OF course a mirror is the
most important feature of the outfit
These cases are made to fold up in the
