"Oh, If you are afraid" sneered tho

the drummer never forgot.

the lines. Then he reached for the
whip in the whip socket, and, leaning
over the dashboard, he dashed first one
broncho and then the other.
Are you afraid, sir?" he demanded,
turning upon the drummer; but before
the terrified drummer could reply he
threw both lines out of the buggy, and
the runaway horses, with the lines
dragging, tore around the curves at a
pace at which "our Mr.. Simpson" nev-

Both men were thrown out and the
buggy splintered. The old gentleman,
the first to arise from the wreck, stood
over the PROSTATE drummer as he re-
turned to consciousness, and again de-
manded:

The smart young man learned ult-
mately that his passenger was Major

Later In the day she seemed little
better; It was the rallying Of the spirit
before departure. She knew it was de-
ceitful strength, but 1t put hope into the
heart of Mr.. Baumgartep.
"Ryle, If he should live, you will al
ways be kind to him7"
Edith Kind to himl Oh, my wife,

irrepressible emotion, you must not go,

She waited until he was calmer: she
was far more collected than he.
"You will love him." she reiterated,
family; you will always protect him
against the worlds unkindness?"
"Ay; that swear to you," he ardently
replied. And Edith Baumgarten breathed
q sigh of relief, and quietly lay back upon
her pillow.
Her voice, hardly to be heard at all,
was growing fainter and fainter. Her
husband thought it must be the faintness
attendant on death; but for q short time
she seemed to sleep.
He sat on his arm beneath her neck,
his other hand held one Of her hands. All
was still; SO still that the ticking of
Edith's watch, lying on the dressing ia
bic, was audible. About ten minutes had
thus passed when a slight cry from the
infant In the next room, followed by the
soothing hush of the nurse, fell upon Mr..
Baumgarten's ear.
"Ryle! Rylew

sleep should have been disturbed.

In disjointed syllables. "Oh, Ryle, know

tressed.
'1The air is-oh, so sweet-and the light
at the far end so bright and lovely-and
the fiowers-look at the flowers they are
the flowers of Heaven! and-and-oh,
look look"
The tone, growing inaudible, had taken
q glad sound of ecstasy; and with the
last word, the spirit passed away.
After the funeral of Mrs. Baumgarten
the parish aocked to Whitton Cottage to
condole with their rector, and to see the
baby. He received them with quiet cour-
tesy, but the most sanguine sympathizers
could not detect any encouragement for
a renewal of the visit. All that could
make life pleasant to Mr.. Baumgarten
was as yet buried in the grave of Edith.
Gradually he began to take notice Of
she child; at first he had avoided him.
The old servant, Dinah, who had lived
with the Danes for years, took charge Of
him. Mr.. Baumgarten would sometimes
have him on his knee now, and soon loved
him with an imprisoned fondness. He
had nothing else to love.
Thus the months glided on to winter !;
the rector fulfilling all his duties az of
yore. but leading a very lonely life.

1t was the plan pursued. It was the
only pleasant plan, as Lord Avon had
put it, that could be pursued. For Lady
Grace held to her own will, and opposi-
ton would only have created scandal.

when the icicles shone in the sun and the
blue sky was cloudless, the open carriage
of Lady Avon drew up at the rectory
gate. After the marriage of Mr.. Baum
garten Lady Avon had occasionally at
tended Little Wilton church as hereto
fore, but Lady Grace never. She had al
ways excuses ready, and her mother
who had never fathomed, or even suspect
ed the true cause Of Grace's caprice as
to the living-put faith in them. The
countess declined to alight, and Mr..
Baumgarten went out to the gate.
Would it be troubling you very much,
Mr.. Baumgarten, to come to Avon House
occasionally and pass an hour with me?"
began she, as they shook hands.
Certainly not, If you wish it," he re-
piled. IF I can render you any service
shall be very happy to come"
Lady Avon lowered her voice and bent
toward him. II am not happy in my
mind, Mr.. Baumgarten; not easy. The
present world Is passing away from me,
and I know little of the one am enter
Ing. I don't like the rector of Great
Whitton he does not suit me; but with
you feel at home. I shall be obliged
to you to come up once or twice a week
and pass a quiet hour with me-"
II will do so. But l hope you find
nothing more than usual the matter with
your health"
'Time will prove" replied Lady Avon.

HE gets on famously: he is brave
little fellow" returned Mr.. Baumgarten,
his eyes Frightening. "Would you like
to see him? l will have him brought
out"
II should like to see him, yes; but l
will come in"
He helped her from the low carriage,
and gave her his arm up the path, and
the most comfortable chair by the parlor
fire. The child was brought in by Dinah
"a pretty babe in a white frock and
black ribbons, the latter worn in memory
Of his mother.
Lady Avon took him on her knee.
HE will resemble you" she said, scan
ming his face; 'he has your eyes exactly

that there was no idlers there. Col.

general manager, was as usual, not
telling any pipe dreams about the flu

there was an undercurrent that kept
the entire force at work. Hundreds
of letters are being received by the

promptly answered. The Friends
