Betsy would much like nephew
about the house. Your fine gentle
man looked upon sixty pounds year
as about enough to keep him in
cigars: but in that we agree to differ.
What an unfeeling letter, Arthur.
am afraid Reggie must have
offended him. said Arthur, thought
fully.
1T Is just my luck. said Mr.. DEN
stone, fretfully. @If Il have a son
with brains above the ordinary, he
goes and flies in the face of SProvi-
dence. Your mother thinks nothing
would be lost by your trying now.
II wish ] might" cried Arthur,
eagerly. but not If Reggie would
feel as If were supplanting him.
.7f No fear Of that, my good fellow
said his father, rather contemptuous-
". You hardly look Ike brothers.
Arthur felt that was true enough,
as far as Clothes went. and he was
unconscious CT HIS superior physical
advantages. It is extraordinary how
long family delusiens continue. s.s
At this moment Mrs Denstone
came in. little, pale, rather trembly
woman, with q sensitive, pink color

Zone cannot wonder at his horror of

There is a general tendency to-

grades Of yarns and the higher NUM-
bers according to well posted mill
man who was discussing the question
Years ago there was little market
FOR any but the coarse yarn, say 20 s,
but now the average Of the demand
has risen fifteen to twenty numbers,
SO that the present average may be
said to be close to number 40's. This
means that the average grade of
goods being manufactured is faer
than it was when the cotton mill in
dustry was just beginning to be a
leading industry IN the South. The
entire trend of the textile trade now
is towards the higher numbers and
the finer grades of cloth.

CHAPTER II.

Goodbye, Arthur! God bless
you!" said his mother, choking back
her tears.
The whole family had accompanied
him to the station. There they stood,
all thirteen of them, on the platform.
Arthur thought to himself that they
were an uncommonly good-looking
family, Snd he wondered how far
sixty pounds year would go to re-
place the shabby, black cashmere
gowns that Janet and Tola wore.
Reginald was so disguised at their
all having come that he walked of
to the upper end of the platform and
tried to look as If they did not belong
to him. He did not think them good
looking at all; on the contrary, he
thought the children hideous, and as
fer Tommy-the vulgarity of that
boy!
"Take care of yourself, hdy boy"
said his father.
"Give Aunt Betsy my blessing"
said Tommy; and when the train
moved off, he flung an old slipper
after it for luck.
Janet slipped away and joined
Reggie.
ooh. Reggie" she said, II wish it
had been you"
Thank you for nothing, my dear!
am thankful it isn't.
But, after all, perhaps, If Uncle
Alfred had only persevered little. he
would have seen what pity it was;
so much talent!"
"Gammon!" said Reggie, who, with
all his faults, was too much of an
Englishman to stand aattery. "Good
gracious, Janet! there is Colonel Cur
It's. and you are such guy. Do, for
goodness sake, efface yourself among
the rabble. +"
Janet drew up her naughty little
head.
"If he cares about my dress"
she said
@Dress by hanged! said Reggie
sharply. At least you should look
like lady," go
Colonel Curtis was advancing to-
ward them. Janet meant, to stand
her ground, but her brothers words
brought the tears rushing into her
eyes, and she was Obliged to retreat
quickly, and take refuge among the
children.
Colonel Curtis eyed the retreating
eleven wistfuIly, but it was more than
he could do to join them, That
would have been too formidable.
Reggie was advancing upon him with
"a cordial smile, but he was too much
disappointed to wish to talk to that
vapid youth, so he only nodded to-
him and went on, and Reggie walked
home by a roundabout route to avoid
the cavalcade.
Arthur arrived IN Liverpool about
z o'clock. He was full of interest and
curiosity about-his new home, and his
mind was too much occupied with the
hopes and fears which chased each
other therein, to have room for shy
ness, even when the moment arrived
in which he found himself being con-
dueted by a footman into the library
of his uncle.
Poor Arthur! A little pang shot
through him as the contrast struck
him forcibly between this solid, hand
some, comfortable apartment, rich
with useful and interesting books,
and the poor, old, shabby room at
home. The contrast between the two
brothers was much the same. The
shabby, gentle, peevish Squire, with
his sad face and threadbare coat, and
the smart, stout, dapper. old gentle
man with his thick black hair
brushed into a. formidable cockatoo
tuft on his head. and his Clothes sof
the best make and quality. Mr.. Al
fred Denstone was not alone: his
wife and one guest were alrsad? as
sembled for dinner.

What One Mn Is Doing to InpFo4
 Jackson, Tenn.

One Of the most progressive toNTL officials in the south is Samuel Lan
 caster, city engineer of Jackson, Tenn
 Mr. Lancaster thinks there is 10 place like Jackson and ne wants others t think so too, and he Is doing every thing in his power to make 1t one ot the prettiest towns in the country. Il Is due ill T great measure to his ef
 forts that good roads are being built iD Madison county. But road building is not all that has engrossed the big brain of Sam Lancaster, says Q writer ll2 Breeders Gazette. As manager of the waterWuvks lie saw a chance to do things. Jackson had no park, and near the waterWorks there was needed u raised roadway. Sam Lancaster made the fill, and before any one knew what he was up to he had built q fine laks on the site whence came the earth for the all. Smaller lakes near by can> then drives, bridges. boats. lilies (mai
 yelous lilies, banks of flowers, trees.
 An unsightly railway yard adjoined the waterworks. The railway was ask cd for few cars of earth. Presto. S;i.u made the yard and the park join. Grass, flowers, shrubs, beauty, order, seats, comfort. inspiration. hope, all came out of that old sink hoic. And the manager only grinned when he saw that Sam Lancaster had actually parked and fenced part of his right of way. Now travellers on that railway will pass by and say. Jack
