Back to sitter, sterner ways;
Back to baked beans and to sermons,
Back to side-combs an to stays.
Back to where there amt no driftin'
Down the tropic nights or days
Where there amt no brown girl

To a band that languid plays.
Some day when taps is sounded
For this Yankee soldier here,
Well, I'd like to feel the brown girl

For the maps may call it Philippines
An the Eagle call it prize"
But this here Yankee fighter
Well, he knows it's Paradise.

 But the girl, remembering that agon- ized cry which had awakened her, faint and far away as it sounded, pushed past the servant and ran into the middle of the shop. The lamp, held high by Deborah over her head, cast a bright circle of light on the floor, and in the middle of this Sylvia saw her father breathing heavily. His hands were bound behind his back in pain full way, his feet were tightly fastened and his head seemed to be attached to the floor. At least when the body (as it seemed from it's stillness) suddenly writhed, it rolled to one side, but the head remained almost motionless. The two women hung back, clutching each others hands. and were almost too hor- rified to move at the sight. Look, lookr' cried Sylvia. gasping. The mouthr' Deborah looked and gave a moan. Aaron's mouth was rigidly closed under a glittering jewel.
 Deborah bent down, still moaning. so great did the horror of the thing para lyze her speech, and saw the lights flash back from many diamonds. She saw bluIsh gleams and then a red sparkle like the ray of the setting sun. It was the opal serpent brooch, and Aaron's lips were fastened together with the stout pin. On his mouth and across his agonized face in which the one eye gleamed with terrific meaning the jeweled serpent seemed to writhe 'Oh. poor soulr' cried Deborah, fall ing on her knees with the lamp still held above her head. Sylvia see''--
 The girl gasped again and impulsive- ly knelt also. trying with nerveless fingers to unfasten the cruel pin which sealed the mans lips. He still lived. for they heard him breathing and saw the gleaming eye, but even as they looked the face grew black. the eye opened and closed convulsively. Deb orah set down the lamp and tried to raise the head. She could not lift it from the floor. Then the bound feet swung in the air and fell again with q dull thud The eye remained wide open. staring in a glassy manner. the breathing had stopped. and the bOdy was motiOnleSs.

 "'Cause you don't take interest you should take in her marriage. which Is made in heaven if ever marriage was. " Norman raised his head like a war horse at the sound of a trumpet call. -who talks of marriagey- he asked sharply.

From what I learned of Paurs people he seemed to be all that was good and generous and high minded and loving. Deborah sent Bart one holiday to Wargrove ill Essex, where Paul's parents live, and Bart found that Paul had left home because he wanted to be an author. Paul is very popular in Wargrove, and every one speaks well of him. So Deb orah thought we might be engaged, and"-
 And have you word to say against It. sir?' demanded Deborah, bristling.
 No" said Aaron, after pause, but you should have told me-
 We should" admitted Sylvia quick ly. but Paul and I feared lest you should say No"
 My child" said the old man save ly, "so long as you wed kind and good man have nothing to say. Syl- via, I have worked hard these many years and have made much money, which, by will, I have left to you. When I die, you will be rich. He is pOor.'

 ''Oh, father" cried Sylvia, putting her arms round Norman's neck, "how good you are. I do love him so.'
 T hope the love will continue" said her father cynically and removing the girls arms, to the secret indignation of Deborah. Il shall call on Mir. Beecot tomorrow and speak to him myself about the matter. If we come to an ar engagement, for I have condition to make before I give my entire consent, ! shall allow you q certain sum to live on. Then shall go to America, and when 1 die you will inherit all my money--when die" he added, casting the usual look over his shoulders. But l won't die for many q long day. he said, with q determined air. At least I hope not"
 Aaron looked undecided, then spoke lmpulsively, walking toward the door as he did so. Let Mir Beecot give me that opal serpent" he said, and he shall have Sylvia and enough to i've on."
