sobfully grand.
Strange enough, she did not con-

HATRED. or late they had referred
less and less often to the cream-tinted
envelopes, talking more about settle
ment work in place of it. 1t was very
pleasant to discuss the hardships and
distasteful features OF living in slums
while walking with a dear brother In
the moonlight on balmy summer eve
nings. 1t was very pleasant to tuck
this dainty blood-relative protectingly
under an arm and take her radiant in
her beauty, to receptions and dinners
and theaters.
They were very, very proud, indeed.

before Hal was to go away, change
came over Sister Alice. She grew
distracted, and sometimes when the
square envelopes came she seemed 10
hesitate about opening them. Some
times she put them away for full
half day before she read them, and
her answers to them were always de-
layed and always most painstakingly
and laboriously written.
The result Of this, at the other end

Il am so proud, so proud OF my
brother" she murmured.
After that they were no longer Mr..
Gilman and Miss Elanchard; they
were Hatred and Alice, and they were
more together than ever, IL possible.
They were an ideal couple for mere
brother and sister. They found SO
much to talk about that they scarcely
needed other companionship and even
when they were with gay parties they
could always be found by themselves

self-abnegation as evidenced in set

parents who frowned upon provi-
dentially ordained attachments
Meanwhile, there was peace on Oak
street Grandfather Gilman became
almost reconciled to Halls stiffness,
and the Blanchards began to rest
somewhat easier about the cream
tinted envelopes. One evening at din
ner, however, Mr. Blanchard ventured
to banter his daughter about Hal

reproved him, how blind you are;

From her corsage peeped the corner
of the latest fat, cream-tinted letter,

IRENE disfavor,

No one is anxious about young man

where does he eat his lunch at noon?
Where does he 90 when he leaves his
boarding house at night? What does
he do after supper? Where does he
spend his Sundays and holidays? The
way he uses his spare moments reveals
his character. The great majority of
youths who go to the bad are ruined
after supper. Most of them who climb
upward to honor and fame devote their
evenings to study or work or the So

HOME CIRCLE COLUMN.
HIS MOHTER

The oldest emblem of deathless af-
fiction is the natural love Of a woman
for her child. Maternal love remains,
indeed, fixed, conventional type, as If
the tender eminence belonged to every
mother.
To illustrate the child's hold upon
the mother no ordinary instance would
be new; but an incident in the last
hours of condemned criminal furnish
es one OF the crucial cases, says the
Boston Transcript.
Two days before his execution a tele-
gram was brought to him in his cell.
He snatched it and tore it open with an
oath. In an instant IA change came
over his sullen face. He threw up his
hands with cry and sob. The chap
lain took the telegram and read these
words; "Iour mother is loving yet"
The message had come two thousand
miles. The mother in her distant
home had not heard of her runaway
boy for three years. The young prodi-
gal had not changed his name; and one
day in a briet newspaper mention, she
read of nina murderer condemned
to die. 1t was too late TO save him.
All her bleeding heart could send him
in his ignominy and ruin was that fond
sentence.
An anecdote of wretched looking
tramp, arrested for vagrancy the other
day in Brooklyn, tells us, on the other
hand, something of the hold a mother
has upon her child When the man
was searched by the officers, a soiled
photograph of young woman was
found in his clothing. Beggars eX-
plantations usually find more credu-
lous audience outside Of the police sta
tion but the officers heard the tramp's
story and believed it. He declared
that the photograph was a picture of
his mother.
"She's an old woman now he SAID,
''if she's alive. I've carried that pic
ture for many year. ! didn't follow
the road she marked out for the
more shame for me, but her face has
been with me in every state of the
Union. wouldn't part with it for any
thing in the world. Keep it for me and
let me have it when &C"
Mother love is holy thing. Pitiful,
and more than pitiful, is the baseness
that will drag it in the mire. But it
outlives even this indignity.
