A lrialllii faver had effect. el what the fuu.lwl alluietita of yearg nan taiieu to do, and Hilly Itunder waa uow an orphan and alone in the wide world, tie knew that be had hi own fortune to make, and after adding bla tnolhor'a affair ami finding there waa tiolhiug left for him. he had come to the elty, ami on till morning went forth alone to look for employment, with no other rwoiiinii'oila'loii than the frank, uoneat eireaaion of hi hnndwtme face. "It waa fuollab In mo to attempt It," thought he, aa be aioppcil In front of I large wboleanle eatutillahmeut. Ilia eye caught the aigrt nn which waa k-ltered "K. J, Hidden ft Co," The name Bound ed familiar, and aomctlilng whiapered to hlin to enter. He did ao, and meeting in the doorway a lull, elegant looking young man, lie aaked for Mr. Seldcu. "My nude," returned the gentleman, wlin waa none other than Ueorge More land, "ha not yet come down, bnt per linpa I ran anawer your porpoae juat aa well, llo you wlab to purctiaae goodaf' Hilly, thlnklug that everyone nmat know hla poverty, fancied there waa aoincthlng aatirical in the queallon, but be waa mfataken; the manner waa nat ural to the apenker, who, aa Billy made no dlrn't reply, again aaked: "What would you like, air?" "Koniethlug to do; for 1 bare neither money nor home," waa Billy'a prompt an awer, "Will you glre me yoor namet" aaked George. Hilly compiled, and when he apoke of hi native town George repeated It after him, aaying: "I bare mine aequnintaueea who apend the fitmmer In Chicopee; but yon probably have never known them." Immediately Hilly thought of the Un eolna, and now knew why the name of Keldea aeenied ao familiar. Ita had heard Jenny apeak of Ida. and felt certain that It. J. Htdilen waa ber father. I'or a moment George regardeil blm In tently, and then aaid: "We aeldoui em ploy atranger wlthont a recommenda tion; atlll, I do not believe you need any. My uncle 1 wanting a young man, but the work may hardly auit yon," he added, naming the dtitlea be would be expected to perform, which certainly were rather menial. Htlll, a the wage were liberal, Hilly for waut of a better, accepted the aituatlon, and waa Immediately introduc ed to bla bualneaa. for om time he only aaw George at a dUtanee, but waa told by one of the elerka that he waa Jttat graduated at Vale, and waa now l junior partner In hi uncle' eatabllah uient. "We all like him very milch," aald the clerk, "be 1 ao pleaaant and kind, though a little proud. I gueaa," Thin waa all that Hilly knew of hlin nn til ha had been in Mr. Belden'a employ ment nearly three weeka; then, a he waa on day poring over a volume of Horace which he bad brought with blui, Ueorge, who chanced to pa by, looked over hla ahoulder, exclaiming. "Why, Bender, can you read LatinT Heally, thl la a nov elty. Are you fond of book?" "I'oa, very," aald Billy, "though I have but a few of my own." "fortunately, then, I can accommodate yon," returned George, "for I have a tol erably good library, to which you can at any time have acce. Suppoae yon come round to my nncle'a to-night Never mind about thanking me," be added, aa he aaw Billy about to teak; "I bate to be thanked, ao to-night, at eight o'clock, I ahall expect you." Accordingly, that evening Billy utarted for Mr. Boiden'a. George, who wished to tava blm from any embarraaainent, an awered hi ring hlniaelf, and immediately conducted blm to hla room, where for an bonr or ao they dlacnaaed tnetr lavonte book and author. At Inat, George, aa tonlahed at Bllly'a general knowledge of men and thing, exclaimed, "Why, Ben der, I do believe you are almoat aa food a acholar a t.'wbo have been through college. Pray, how doe It happen T In a few word Billy explained that he had been In the habit of working aum mera and going to achool at Wllbraham winter; and then, aa It waa nearly ten, be haatily gathered up the book which George had kindly loaned him and took hi leave. A he wa dcacending the brond atalrway he met a young girl fash ionably dreaaed, who atared at him In ...n, aurnrlae. In the upper hall abe en countered George, and aaked blm who the tranger wa. "Ill nnme I Bender and be cam from Chlcopee," answered ueorge, . "Bender from Uhleopeei repeniea ioa. Wl... I wonder If It Isn't the Billy Ben- dor about whom Jenny Lincoln haa gone almoat mad. ' " . "I think not," returned her coualn, "for Mrs. Lincoln would hardly utfer her daughter to mention a poor hoy's name, much lea to go mad about him." But," answered lilii, lie women on Mr. I.lncolu a farm when jenny wa a little glil; and now that she la older she talk of blm nearly all the time, and Koae any It would not aurprlse her If he ihoiild somo day run off with him.' F'oaibly It 1 the same," reuirneu George. "Anyway, ne la very nun iuuk lng, and a fine fellow, too, beside being an excellent acholar." Tae next day, when Billy chanced to be alntio. George approached him, and after making ome casual remark about the book he had borrowed, etc., he m Id, Did you ever ee Jenny uncoiu iu w P"Oh. yea," answered Billy, brightening up, for Jenny had alwi ys been, and etill wm a great favorite with him; ''Oh. re I know Jenny e well. I worked for her father some year ago, and be came greatly interested In her." "Indeed? Then you mut know Hen ry Lincoln V "Yea, I know blm," said Billy; while George continued! "And think but little of blm, of course?" On thl subject Billy wa noii-commlt-tal. He bad no cause for liking Henry, but would not say so to a comparative atranger. Ueorge wa about moving away when, obaerviug a little, old-fashioned book lying upon one or the boxes, he took It np and, turning to the fly-leaf, read the name of "frank Howard." "frank Howard! frank Howard!" he repeated; "where have I beard that name? Who is he, Bender?" "He wa a little Knglish boy I one loved very much; but he Is dead now," an swered Billy; and George, witb a sud denly awakened curiosity, said: "Tell me about blm and bis family, will yon?" Without dreaming tbat George had ever seen them, Billy told the story of f rank's sickness and death of the noble conduct of hi little (later, who, when there was no other alternative, went cheerfully to the poorhouae, winning by her gentle way the lor of those unused to love, and taming the wild mood of a maniac until ahe wa harmless as a child. As be proceeded witb hi story George became each moment more and more in terested, and wben at last there was a panne, he aaked, "And I Mary in the poorbouse now?"., "I have not mentioned ber name, and pray bow cam you to know it?" said Billy In some surprise. In a few words Ueorge related the par ticulars of bla acquaintance witb tbe Howard and then again asked where both Mary and Klla were. Billy replied that for a few year back Mary had lived with a Mrs. Maaon, while 1011a, at the time of her mother's death, bad been adopted by Mra. Camp bell. "But," aaid be, "I never think of Ella In connection with Mary, they are ao nnlike; Ella I proud and vain and silly, and treat her lister with the utmost rudeness, though Mary 1 far more agree able and Intelligent, and a I think the beat looking." "She must have changed very much," anawered Ueorge, "for if I remember rightly ahe wa not remarkable for per sonal beauty." He wa going to say more, when aome one alapped biin rudely on the ahouider, calling out, "How are you. old feller, and what' la there in Boston to interest such a scapegrace a I am?" Looking op, Billy aw before him Hen ry Lincolu, exquisitely dressed, but bear ing In hi appearance evident mark of dissipation. "Why, Henry," exclaimed George, "how cam you here? 1 supposed you were drawing lampblack caricature of some one of the tutor in old Yale. What' the matter? What have you been doing?" "Why, you aee," anwerd Henry, drawing hi cigar from his mouth, "one of tbe sophs got bis arm broken in a row, and as 1 am so tender-hearted, and couldn't bear to hear bitn groan, the fac ulty kindly advised me to leave, and aeot on before me a recommendation to tbe old man. But I fixed 'em. I told 'em be was In Boston, whereas be' iu Chlcopee, so I juat took the letter from tbe office myself. It read beautifully. Do you understand?" All this tlm Henry bad apparently taken no notice of Billy, whom George now Introduced, aaying he believed they were old acquaintances. With the cool est effrontery Henry took from hla pocket a quisling glass, and, applying It to his eye, aaid, "I've absolutely studied until I'm near-sighted. How long have the old folka been In Chlcopee?" "Several weeks, I think," answered George; and then, either becsuac be want ed to bear what Henry would say, or because of a reawakened Intereat in Mary Howard, he continued, "By the way, Henry, when you came so unceremoni ously upon us, w were speaking of a young girl In Chlcopee whom you have perhapa ferreted out ere thle, a Ben der snys he is fine lookiug." Henry stroked bis whiskers, which had receixed far more cultivation than bis brains, stuck bis bat on one side and answered, "Why, yea, I aiippose that In my way I was something of a b'hoy with the fulr sex, but really I do not now think of more than one handsome girl in Chlcopee, and that is Ella Campbell, but she la young yet, not ss old as Jenny altogether too small fry for Henry Lin coln, Ksq. But who Is the girl?" Billy frowned, for he held Mary's name aa too sacred to be breathed by a young man of Henry Lincoln's character, while Ueorge replied: "Her name Is Mary Howard." "What, the pauper?" asked Henry, looking significantly at Billy, who replied: "The same, sir." "Whew-wl" whistled Henry, prolong ing the dlphthonf to an unusual length. "Why, she's got two teeth at least a foot long, and her face looks aa though she had just been in the vinegar barrel and didn't like the taste of It," "But, without Joking, though, how does ahe look?" asked George; whilo Billy made a movement aa If he would help the Insolent puppy to find bis level. "Well, now, old boy," returned Henry, "I'll tell you honestly tbat the last time I saw her I waa surprised to find how much she wa Improved. She has swal lowed those abominable teeth, or done something witb them, and Is really quite decent looking." So saying be took his leave. Just then there was a call for Mr. Moreland, who also departed, leaving Billy alone. "It Is very strange that she never told roe she knew him," thought he; and then tak ing from his pocket a neatly folded letter, he again read it through. Bui there was nothing in it about Ueorge, except the simple words, "I am glad you have found a friend In Mr. Moreland. I am sura I should Ilk him, just because he 1 kind to you." 8T. HELENS, OEEGOK, FIIIPAY, "Tea, she's forgotten blm," said Billy, and tbat belief gave hlin secret satisfac tion. He bad known Mary long, and tbe Interest he bad felt in ber when a homely, neglected child, bad not (n the least decreased aa th lapse of tlm grad ually ripened her into a fine, intelligent looking girl. He was to her a brother still, but she to blm was dearer far than a sister; and though io bis letters b al ways addressed her as such. In his heart he claimed her as something nearer, and yet be had never breathed In ber ear a word of love or hinted that It waa for her sake be tolled both early and late, board ing up bis earnings witb almost a miser' care that she might be educated, Kegularly each week she wrote to him, and it was the receipt of these letters and tbe thoughts of her that kept hi heart ao brave and cheerful, as, alone and unappreciated, except by George, be worked on, dreaming of a bright future when the on great object of hi lit should be realised. 4 (To be continued.) CARE QP THE EYES. Mack) Trouble aaid Baffariaai May Euily l?e Avoliiot. Nowhere la the comparison between ao ounce of prevention and s pound of care mora applicable than In tbe care of the eyes; for tbe neglect of seeming ly trivial affection, perfectly curable la tbelr beginnings, may lead la aa In credibly abort time to permanent Im pairment of vlslou. or even to total blindness. Tbe car of the eyes should begin with tbe moment of blrtb. Th new baby's eyes should be tbe first part to receive attention. They should be wiped carefully with a piece of ab sorbent cotton wet with a warm eola tion or boric acid, of strength of about sixty grains Iu four ounces of distilled water. After tbe lids have been tbua carefully washed ou tbe out side tbey abould be gently aeparated and some of tbe solution dropped Into the eyes. In washing tbe eyea one abould be careful never to dip again in tbe aolu ttoo a piece of cotton wblcb baa once been used; fresh piece must be taken each time tbe eyes are wiped. Tbe baby's eyea must be protected from the light; Ita crib abould be placed where the eyes are not exposed to tbe full light from a window, and tbe car riage should have a abade raised only about a foot above the baby's bead. Children often suffer from Inflamma tion of tbe edges of the lids, which are red and scaly, and tbe lushes fall out aud break off.'. Tbla may betoken general scrofulous condition, or It may depend upon some defect In tbe eight wblcb cat) aee eye-strain, or It may be only a local trouble. If it Is only a local trouble, few applications of boric acid ointment at bedtime will gener ally effect a cure. Conjunctivitis, or inflammation of the membrane covering tbe globe of the eye, may be due to a cold, to tbe action of bright sunlight or reflection from water or from anow, or to eye-strain from aome visual Imperfection. Van ally tbe boric acid solution will give relief here, even wben the trouble can not be permanently cured until proper glasses are worn. Another painful consequence of eye strain la a succession of sties. Wbea a child suffers frequently from sties, from sore lids, or from conjunctivitis, the alRbt should be tested. Much harm la often done to the eyes, aa well aa to tbe general health, by too long application to books, eltber school or story-books. Three hours of looking at print by daylight and one hour In the evening, should not be ex ceeded by any child under 14. for that la as mncb aa bis eyes, even If tbelr vision la perfectly normal, will stand without Injury. Youth's Companion. The Pickles Teat. There bad been an epidemic of niumM In Denver, and every afternoon brought to tbe health department a number of children seeking permission to return to acbool. Sometimes no doc tor wns present and they had to wait 8m aaya the Republican, Dr. Carlln de vised means by which his eeeretary. Miss Currlgan. might test the appli cants. "Pickles are the thing," said Dr. Car Iiu. "If a person with tbe slightest trace of Inflammation In the thyroid glands takes a bite of anything sharply sour, the face la Instantly contorted. In extreme cases the pain la extreme." So a bottle of mixed pickles was add ed to tbe pharmacopoeia of tbe offlce. . Now, when there la no doctor In tbe office. Miss Currlgan lines up the appli cants for certlflcatea and goes down tbe line witb the bottle of pickles.

The Indepen dence had another short sail in the bay this afternoon, and the breeze being only moderate the yacht sprud more canvas than has yet been hoist ed. The sea was smooth, and again she proved her wonderful reaching qual i ties, besides showing considerable ability in windward work. Not only did she hold very well up to the breeze, keeping within an average of three points, but she footed quite fast and tacked in the neighorhood of 20 seconds. The trial was confined to less than two hours of actual sailing, most of the time being spent on the wind or reaching, and as yet the yacht has not been sent dead to leeward, it being thought well tQwait. for the spinnaker and club topsail.
