lever set the saw fanning again.

write to Joe that yon refuse. It does
seem a pity to leave him in his trouble.
lie's not a bad boy, but dear knows
where this will drive him. Good after
noon, John."
At home be sat down upon the porch
again to think it out. He knew well the
character of this father and son. Hince
Joe had been old enough to assert him
self there had been antagonism between
them. The father was arbitrary in his
ideas of right, the son obstinate and in
clined to waywardneea.
Jored's relation to the family was al
most that of a son. He was to have
married Sallie, the daughter, five years
before, but she had been taken ill three
weeks before the appointed day, and died
ten days later. Her last request to Jared
had been to watch over Joe as an older
brother,, and to help to keep him from
evil ways.
"Father is growing old," she had said,
"and if ever you have a chance to bring
him and Joe to a good understanding do
your bet. 1 know you will do your
best, Jared even to sacrifice yourself a
little, for my sake."
The final estrangement came when Joe
declared that he intended to leave home.
He had Invented arnachincfor compress
ing sawdust into ornaments, and was
wild over his prospects of wealth.
Through the mother's influence, nlded
by Jared, who hpcd that gratitude
would touch the boy's heart, the farm
was mortgaged.
"Here are a thousand dollars," the
father had said on the morning Joe went
away. "You want to leave us, so go!
This is all tlio help you can expect from
mo. If you lose it, you must shift for
yourself. If you succeed, I shall look for
you to pay it back. I wish yon success,
bnt I don't expect it."
No sympathy was in the words or
tone, and Joe went away, feeling that
there was no love for him in his father's
heart.
Jared knew that Joe had been lacking
in his duty to his parents. He had writ
ten enthusiastically of his prosperity,
but had not offered to payback a dollar;
so tbere was at least a little reason for
the father's refusal to help.
Hut something muxt be done. This
trouble and his father's refusal would be
likely to drive Joe into recklessness and
ruin. As he sat upon his little porch, he
almost fancied he heard Sallie telling
blra that here was the opportunity she
had hoped for.
Itul he (ltd not know what to do, lie
hw little knowledge of buslnea. Ills
early life had Wn spent in farm kuil,
and ubmiiiently a lucky rise tn land
value had brought him resource Mini
rient for ft quiet, humble life.
He saw that help from tlie fatlier
would owtaliily touch tlie boy' heart
now; but without it h Mt that ft hard

however, wa strong upon him, and h
decided to go to Philadelphia next morn

"Ye, ye -certainly. Sit down, Here,

Jo wa handsome, ftnd In stature, at

plain little Jarwd Harpwick.
"I sea that I've come at wrong time,
Joe." ha said, pleasautly. "Just when
you're exiwcting compwiy."
"Ye, yon did but don't worry about
that, Jarwl,"
' Joe, my boy, what kind of company

"It wnsu t good company," said doe,

ter than I ever did. I was never good
son at home, and I've been won away."
Hi voice had sunk from harsh nee to
softer tones, and as Jared, looking hi
sympathy, let him go on, ha proceeded
in words that showed that now wa the
time to touch bis heart,
"I have thought, Jared, that if fatlier
would help me a little, now when 1 don't
deserve It, 1 could feel better toward
him, and wa could be a fatlier and

"and I"
A loud, eorlldent knock interrupted,
Joe opened the door and stepped into the
hall. Jared h-srd him explain that he
"could not have the game," Thera were
angry expostulations in unslwady voioe.

Jartxl talked long Into the night, Joe
telling the circumstances of his failure.
"I've coma to try to help you," said
Jared, "and tomorrow I'll call opoo your
creditor and see what arrangement can
be made."
"I would go with yon," said Joe, "but
we had a quarrel the other day, and 1
miess I used pretty hard language, II
say hell not see me again, and t push'
tng me uow harder than before,"
"I'll go alone, then, Joe."
"If you luccved. Jared, I promise you
111 try to lie better to rather, to compen
sate him for this!"
A shade passed over Harpwick' fat,
and he did not reply,
Next morning he went to see the man
nfocturer, and Jo met him anxiously
on his return.
"I've arranged for the payment of
yonr debt," said Jarwl, quietly, "and
the manufacturer agree to furnish you
fifty machines, on time, to start again
with. You are on your feet once more,"
"Uod bless father!" cried Joe. "I'll
write him a letter thanking him for his
soodnees."
"No, Joe," said Jared, knitting his
eyebrow a little, "I wouldn't If 1 were
you. Let me report it to him."
"Very well, Jared; but I'll go borne In
two week for a visit, and I hope we cau
meet then as father aud son should
meet."
Jared went home, and next day he
again trudged out to the sawmill Uray
was rolling log into place.
"John," Jared began, "Jo is on his
feet again."
"He didn't deserve it, Jared," he re
plied glumly, picking ft cluster of lichen
from the log.
"And he is coming home to see yoo in
two weeks."
He saw the old man crush down his
pleasure and his effort In making the in
credulous response, "We'll see him when
he comes."
He showed no curiosity to know how
the matter had been adjusted, and Jared
left him.
The two week brought the evening of
Joe's arrival. Jared met him at the lit
tle station and walked with bim toward
home. They heard the rasping of the
saw from a distance, and as they went
nearer Joe's eagernesa to clasp his fa
ther' band and enter npon a closer re
lation Impelled him to start ahead.
Jared quickly caught him by the
arm and said: "Joe, I wonldti't say
anything to him about the money, A
word might ruin my hopes. J ust act as
if thore had been no trouble."
The father sat upon a log, and they
came quite near before he heard them.
He hastily arose. Joe sprang forward,
extended his hand and said:
"Father, I've come back to be a son
to yon."
It had lieen two years since they met,
and Jared, anxiously watching Uray
now, saw the old hardness come to his
fuce. Hut as the father looked npon his
boy ho saw a manlier look than he had
seen before, aud a look of regret and
hope as well.
The hardness was driven from Gray's
face, and clasping his son's hand in his
he said, with tears starting, "Joe, Joe,
you're welcome home, and I'm your
father!"
(Iruy turned quickly and stopped the
saw. Then, hurrying to the end of the
mill, hecalled loudly, "Mother! mother!"
His wife soon appeared, hurrying as If
she feared an accident had taken place.
Joe was biding behind Jared, but the
old father caught him by the arm and
asked joyfully:
"Mother, who is this?'
"Joe!" she cried; "my son!"
"And mine, mother; and all forgiven
and forgotten."
They walked toward their little home,
but Jared said goodby very strangely, the
three thought, and turned away.
Ho stopped after taking a few steps
and called Joe to him:
"I wouldn't say unything until tomor'
row, my 1xy," he said in low tones. "It
might spoil it all. It's glorious that this

He turned away, and the three, watch

this measure will be urged with the
force and earnestness and eloquence that
spring from belief iu a just cause. If It
fails, the battle will be only adjourned
to another w-wslon. The knight crranis
of the cause of woman's rights know no
such word a defeat. Little by little the
strong walls of prejudice aud custom
and Inherited Injustice have yielded, and
the position of women, legally and in al
most every other way, is vastly different
from what It was when th agitator be

We have often heard that shaving the
face with a razor was a bad thing) that
it injured the nerves and caused weak
eyes; that it removed the natural cover
ing front the throat and neck, and that
altogether it was thoroughly physiologi
cal, A writer in The Medical Classics
lias been looking into this matter a little
more closely. 13y the aid of A micro
scope applied to a closely shaven face he
discovered that the skin resemble it
piece of raw beef, The razor removes
not only the hair, but also1 a portion of
the cuticle. The blood vessel thus ex
posed are not visible to the naked eye,
but under the mlcroscotw each little
quivering mouth holdB a drop of blood,
The nerve lips uro also unoovered And
the pores are left unprotected, making
the skin tender and unhealthy, and the
person is liable to have colds, hoarseness
and sore throat,

Hhells, as we jsipularly call them, are
grouped by naturalist under the bead
of mollusH, and in the scale of life they
represent the sixth great branch of the
animal kingdom, following the worms,
though some naturalists classify them
differoutly. The branch is divided into
classes. First we have the shells with
two valves, as the oyster, which U a
Lainellibranch. a long wonl referring to
the folds In the animal.
Some of these have siphons and some
have not. Then we come to the single
thellod mollusks, or gnsteropods, so
called because they are belly footed.
Then tbere are the shell-less forms, the
air breathing mollusks, as snails, and
finally the squids, or cephalopoda, or
head footed, all of which have their jie
culiarities, and are well worth special
study if the reader is interested in shells.
The oysters are the lowest forms of the
group, the humblest yet the most valu
