mond gave to the story a Ntrongur setn

Inei deemed the soul of honor. It wss
this devotion to her brother, the attri

to preserve whit h Dr. Lnland would
sacrifice millions and forego vengeance
on iiuymoud. Ho did not want it un

. Oive woman an ideal In which ber
affections are ceutured, and her own
reason is overthrown with it, if the
iconoclast siurceeds in toppliiig her lit

are women who turn to tads, pnetimes
of an idle hour. Thrmi fair daughters
of Eve, susceptible to the tegtmnt fruit

ment to anothor, untouched by tue deep
er pasnfons, But the wonmn with a
heart and soul spurring the exercise of

or cause she warms o can be dealt no
blow she does not feel a keenly as the
direct object of BHsault. It is this con
centration of sonti incut, creitted aud
crystallised in undivided interest, that
keeps the memory of first love safe
from everything but the grave, and that
warms the mother more to the first
born, round whom cluster the delights
and the anxieties that ushered in the
crowning glory of ber .womanhood
maternity.
Ines loved Dr. Loland. There was
a tenderness In his words and actions
towsrd her that evidenced reciprocity
of feeling. There wa mnch In com
mon between them in their taetes, out
side of the peculiarities of his profes
sional research, that brought them to
gether in conversation and exalted each
in the other a view. There wu a mu
tual love for certain pursuits, und just
men or women, sepn-ate or jointly,
beget from crithnMliisin in onowork
work agreeable and cmnninndiug united
Ileglance a regard for one another.
so did these young people draw closer
and grow more dear to each other. Bo
yond that, they had a special cause for ;
mutual esteem building' from an in
sight to each other's character an ideal
that had a vivid personality typihVd in
tho pictures each saw while looking at
tho other, , ,
I have brought you news of yonr
friend, Mins Le Clair," said Dr. Lo
land to Inez as he entered.
"Have yon!" shu exclulined delight
edly. "Oh, I'm so glad. How is she?
WusitMr. Mangan who brought It? Oh,
I wish 1 could see biml Tell me how
she is."
"You will not let ma."
"I'll bo so quiet. Go on."
"She is well. But he didn't eeo ber
when he left. Do you know thoy have
quarreled V
"Oh, noj thoy oonldn t. She thought
so much cf bim."
" You cannot account for it?"
"Noj but why did he toll yoo this?
Is bo so worried?"
"I'D answer later. Do yon know who
Isabel Le Clair is?'' ;
I fancy she is some relation to the
mothor superior of the Conveut of
Mercy, but I never inquired. "
"She is my sister." ,'
"Wbatl Your Bistort" "
"Yes. It is a long story. We were
partod whon young, and circumstances
kept one Ignorant of the other's exist
ence. Mr. Mangan will bring ua to
gether."
"And he and Isabel part?"
"I hope not. We shall see, but I
judge it will be hard to induce him to
return. I can see that be is not will
ing to tnako advances since her posi
tion is to cease to be dependent. "
I can tell ban something, I know
bow much she cares for him. Aud Just
think we shall all go home toguthorl"
Ur. Lelund said-nothing. He had,
in many little ways, tried to suggest to
her the impossibility of ber brother'
return. Mortimer bad contracted in-
aidioua Dneumonia-on'tba journey

Imperceptibly develop and give no out-

Inea attributed bis silence to the re-
trospect suggested In the strange revels
turn be had received from Maogan. In
reality ueuin not wain to concur in Mr
xiH'ctutlon aud hesitated to make
known the truth that her brother
would soon be summoned to appear be
fore the tribunal of the Moat High.
"How 1 yonr brother today?" ba
asked, turning from the aubject of tha
homeward journey, t
"He seem tome to be better, but too
nnrse shakes ber bead when I aay ao.
I hi sfrald, If the n ime doean
agree with yon, that yon are wrong,

In a few tulnuttHi Dr. Leland and
Philip Mortimer were alone, The phy
aician saw that the sick uisd's vitality
waa rapidly ebbing and that hla botura
were unmiMred. Tin breathing waa

given only to those having In them
a number of scholars.
"I liree drills were given; a tamborlne
drill by the Monmouth school, a flag
drill by the Hvthel m-hool and a dumb
bell drill. The dumb bell drill waa ex
oocdl ugly good aud well merited the
piie It received; the other prlxe went
to the taiuborlne drill, whose quaint
costume made It etlcctlve.
Nearly every school of any size was
represented In the general exercises.
e roui the Independence school there
was a recitation, "The Power of Hab

Miss Maud Patterson, "The Owl Crit

clever and well executed dialogue, "An
Electrical Kplsode,". by Misses Pearl
ootHjr. Kfllle and Hose Richardson

awarded the prizes to a Flower Cantata

Hut three schools had representatives

because inuuy schools liave not yet bail

surprised tbe Judge by having the

portion of tbe night Mr. Burnett paid
Bra Mulkey the high compliment of
saying that he had uot met with such a
case while on the bench and hoped that
all county clerks would follow the good
example set" This Is democratlo
