A Noble Woman.

A noble woman does not descend to
sarcasm, hints. innuendoes nor any
speeches Of covered poison.
She unconsciously tries to render
herself agreeable to whomsoever she is
with.
She is polite to her own children.
She never makes a weapon of her
power to be disagreeable in order to
gain her own way.
She is low voiced.
She never dresses conspicuously.
, She never reads the letters Of other
people. nor repeats what she has heard
of other peoples affairs
She Is true to her convictions, firm
in her self-respect, faithful and un-
changing in her love, gentle in her
manner. unobtrusive in her relations
to others. and the more intimate one
becomes with her the more one esteems
her.
In word. the false aristocrats are
they among whom familiarity breeds
contempt; the nearer you come to them
and the more closely you know them
the more highly you hold them.-Dr
Frank Crane in Woman's World for
April.

The romantic story of a hidden will
is arousing keen interest in the neigh

shire. England. Search for the mis-
sing document is being made by a
woman from Gunnersbury. London.
She believes that II she succeeds in
her quest. she will become entitled to
a valuable estate. The search was
prompted originally by statements
made by a medium at spiritualistic
seance. The will is supposed to be
concealed in a wall sunk in a shed
which has been bricked up for many
years 1t formed a cellar to an old
house. The London searcher's ances-

housekeeper, was known to possess
great wealth. No will could be found

CHAPTER XIV.
Echoes From the City.

Saliie kingsbury, unused to psyche
logical analysis. could not have ex-
planned why Mr.. Hand was SO OBJ
iectiolable to her. He was no relative
of the family. she had discovered that:
and, accustomed as she was to the old
fashioned gentility OF a thrifty New
England town. instinct told her that
he could not possibly be one of its
varied products. He might have come
from anywhere; he talked SO little that
he was suspicious on that ground
alone; and when he did speak. there
was no accent at all that Sallie could
lay hold of. Useful as he was lust
now In taking care Of that poor young
man upstairs, he nevertheless in
spired in that breast a most unholy
irritation. Her attitude was that of a
housemaid pursuing the cat with the
broom.
Mr.. Hand was not greatly troubled
by Sallie's tendency to sweep him out
of the way. but whenever he took any
notice of her he was more than a
match for her. On the afternoon fol.

ness. She prayed for the stranger
within her gates. for the sick man over
yonder. and implored Gods blessing on
the work of her hands; and praise
should be to the Lord. Amen.
And now. Angle" she said prac-
tfcally. as she rose to her feet. ad-
dressing the girl who instantly ap
peared from around the doorway, "go
and tell Little Simon to drive up to
the horse block. Agatha, you go home
end rest, and I'll get hitched up and
be over there almost as soon as you
are. Angie will help me get the ice
bag and all the other things. in case
you might not have them handy. Come.
Agatha!"
But they paused yet a moment,
stopping as II by a common instinct to
look at the white cross. Susan Stod-
dard gazed down on 1t with a grief in
her eyes that was the more heart
breaking because 1t was inarticulate.
Agatha remembered the doctors
words. and understood something of
the friction that could exist between
this evangelistic sister and the finer.
more intellectual brother.
I've never been inside the old red
house since he died." said Mrs. Stod-
dard.

chanted Susan Stoddard Hercules

Agatha laid her arm about the older
womau's shoulder, and thus was led
out to Little Simon's buggy. Susan
helped her in. and Agatha leaned
back. with closed eyes. Indifferent to
the beauty of early afternoon on a
cool summers day. Little Simon let
her ride in quiet, but landed her in the
dust on the opposite side of the road
from the lilac bushes.

er's voice. as he came out to meet her.

and outraged pride as much as of
modcsty-surged up over Agatha's
face. She was silent a moment. and
in that moment learned what It was
to control anger.
Il have not been living with this
man, in any sense of the term, Mrs.
Stoddard. l will say this once for all
to you. though l never would. in any
other conceivable situation. reply to
such an Implication. You have no
right to say or think such things"
'Wickedness must be rebuked OF the
Lord" intoned Mrs. Stoddard.
Are you his mouthpiece?" said Aga
tina scornfully. But she was rebuked
Her eyes rested on Agatha's face with
pleading and patience. as If she were
a world mother. agonizing for the sal
.yation Of her children.
1T is his command to pluck the
brand from the burning" said Susan
Stoddard. "Ungodly example is a sin.
and earthly love often a snare for
youthful feet"
7 AS Agatha listened to Mrs. Stod-
In her which, from the first moment OF
the interview, had recoiled from this
fanatical but intensely spiritual wom-
an. found it's way. as it were into the
light. Such was the power OF her sin
cerity, that, in spite of the extraor-
binary character of the interview, Aga
tha's heart throbbed with new COM
prehension which was almost love. She
stepped closer to Susan Stoddard, her
tail figure overtopping the others
sturdy one, and took one of her strong
work-hardened hands.
Mrs. Stoddard, this man has never
spoken a word of love to me. But II
| ever marry, 1t will be a man like
him-a plain, high-hearted gentleman.
There. You have a woman's secret.
And now come with me, and help us
to save life You cannot, you must
not, refuse me now"
The subtle changes OF the mind are
hard to trace and are often obscure
even to the eye of science; but every
day those changes make or mar our
joy. Susan Stoddard looked for long
minute up into the vivid face bending
over hers, while her spirit. even as
Agatha's had done. pierced the hedge
which separated them. and compre-
hended something of the goodness in
the others soul. Finally she laid her
other hand over Agatha's, enclosing
it in strong clasp. Then, with a
certain pathetic pride in her submis-
sion. she said:
Il have been wrong, Agatha; l will
come" Agatha's grateful eyes dwelt
on hers, but the strain OF the inter
view was beginning to count She
sank down in the chair that Mrs. Stod-
dard Lad offered at the beginning OF
their meeting, and covered her eyes
with one hand. The elder woman kept
the other
I'VE will not go to our task alone,
she said, I'VE win ask Gods help. The
prayer of faith shall heal the sick .
Then falling to her knees by Agatha's
side. with rapt. lifted face and closed
eyes, she made her confession and her
petition to the Lord. Her ringing voice
intoned the phrases OF the Bible as II
they had been music and bore the bur.
den OF her deepest soul. She said she
had been sinful in imputing un.
righteousness TO others, and that she
had been blinded by her own wilful
