That Angel of Mercy-By Maria D. Carpenter.
Copyrighted. by Literary Press

The case of Helen Powell turning
her poor old widowed father over to
the care OF his housekeeper. Miss Will
lard, 4 woman of thirty-fve, puzzled
the social world of Deerfield. The wife
and mother died when Helen was six
teen years old. and Miss Willard nat
urally assumed, or, rather. continued to
administer, the household affairs. In
deed, she had been during Mrs. Pow
ellis illness Indispensable. A few
months after her mothers death Helen
went to boarding school and remained
there for three years except during va
cations, when she visited some one of
her schoolmates.
Miss Willards entrance to the Pow
ell household occurred when Mrs. Pow
ell was taken i'll. Some one was need
ed, and Miss Willard, who was a social
acquaintance of the Powells, volun-
teered. Her offer was considered by
her friends 10 be one of self abnega-
ton, for she needed no compensation

Taft.s Reciprocity Triumph.

President Taft wins his reciprocity
fight thanks TO the widespread favor
it received from the press of the coun-

against it while % republicans voted

The agreement had its inception
in the high price OF food. IL lowers

cles are untouched but the bill is an

suit in tearing down the high tarlT
wall that separates the Dominion from
the United States even as il inevIta-
bly, must break down the entire Pro
lection policy. This country Will rev-
er adopt free trade but the reciprocity
agreement with Canada surely points
to freer trade with the world.
The democrats took a broad and
patriotic attitude Tempting bats
were placed before them but they re-
fused to nibble. The insurgents and
some of the standpatters offered to put
many articles on the free list but as
any amendment might endanger the
measure the democrats steadily voted
against them. The republican defec-
ton was large and the agreement was
ratified only because the democrats
gave it a practically unanimous vote
President Taft is entitled to much
credit for his determination to submit

World lays the state of feeling in Cuba

The course OF Secretary Knox siuce

been such as to keep our Latin-Amer-
lean neighbors appreheRsive. His high
tone OF authority in the Nicaragua
business was unnecessary and created
a harmful impression. ANY other OF

and would accept noEe. Therefore, al
though she was called the housekeep-
er, she stood on an equal social footing
with Mr.. Powell and his daughter, who
were under an obligation to her from
the time she entered the house.
Helen, Powell was a childlike girl,
very amiable, by no means aggressive
and easily upset by a misunderstood
ing with any one. Those who knew
her best assigned this as the cause Of
her remaining away from her desolate
father, thus throwing his care upon
Miss Willard. On this account they
excused her, but the outer world did
not excuse her. She was looked upon
as a very unnatural child of a suffer
ing parent.
Miss Willard refrained from any
comment upon Helen's actions, but
when pressed for an explanation would
say: Helen is perfectly excusable.
Her absence is no fault Of her or her
father. Devoted to the memory of his
wife, he broods constantly over her
loss. How can such a household be
place for a young girl just budding
into womanhoodT'
Helen was fond Of society, and this
was excellent proof of Miss Willard's 5
explanation. II tended to separate the

It was found that Mr.. Powell had left

had left a fortune close on to a million.

The truth was that from the reading
