Yesterday Mary got another
threatening letter from him and II
frightened her almost to the verge
OF nervous prostration. Dick then
decided that his mother should be
told. He took the letters out To her
last evening and she had case OF
Mysteries. Dick told her that she
must not send Jack any more mon
ey. for he might take II into his
drink-sodden head TO come over
here and kill Mary.
Il would not blame him II he
did" said Mother Waverly.
That was enough for Dick. He
simply told her that unless she was
a little sensible about Jack he
would go into court and swear that
she was not capable Of spending
her income and have some one ap-
pointed her guardian.

The old Farm House.

There's a charm for me still
In the old grey house,
SO silent, forlorn and gray,
Where ringing shouts long years ago
Rang out in my romp and play.
Now the old farm house
In grim silence stands,
No trace of past Joy is seen;
But within my heart the echoes ring
And its memory still is green.
For the merry old days,
The gay boyhood day,
When | frolicked and sang in my play;
When the oaken walls IN the attic
rang
With laughter wild and gay.
Bot now the old house
Ia green with mould:
The windows are dusty and grey;
But the memories linger within my
heart.
And never shall fade away
