At last Frank, pulling th old bio
Jacket from nnder hit head and passing
It to Mary, uil: "Take It to Bill Bender
he offered m a shilling for it, and
shilling will buy milk for Allie and crack

"No, Franky," answered Mary, "yoa
would bare no pillow; besides, I've got
aometning more valuable, which i can
' aell. I'rt kept It long, but it must go to
keep us from starving and she held to
view the (olden locket which Ueorge
Morels ml had thrown around her neck.
"You ahan't aell that." aaid Frank.
"Ton miist keep ft to remember George;
and then, too. yon may want it mora noma

Mary finally yielded tha point, - and
gathering up the crumpled jacket atarted
In quest of Billy Bender. Ha waa a
kind-hearted boy, two years alder than
Frank, whom he had often befriended
and shielded from the jeera of their com
panion. Ha did not want the jacket, tor
It waa a riat deal too small; and It waa
only In reply to a proposal from Frank
that be should buy it that he bad casual
ly offered him shilling. But now, when
ha aaw the garment, and learned why it
waa sent, ha immediately drew from his
old leather wallet a quarter, all tha
money he had In tha world, and giving
It to Mary, bade her keep it, a aha would
ead It all.
Half an hour after a cooling orange
waa held to Frank's parched lips, and
Mary aaid, "Drink, brother; I've got two
more, beside some milk and bread." but
tha ear aha addressed waa deaf and the
eya dim with tha fast-falling shadow of
death. ".Mother! mother!" cried tha lit
tie girl. "Franky won't drink, and hia
forehead ia all sweat.
Mrs. Howard had been much worse
that day, but agony made her atrong.
Springing to bis aide, she wiped from
his brow the cold moisture which had
so alarmed her daughter, chafed hia
handa and feet, and bathed hi head, un
til h seemed better and fell asleep.
Fast the shades of night came on, and
when all was dark In the sick room Mary
sobbed out, "We hare no candle, moth
er, and If 1 go for one, and ha should
die "
The sound of her voice aroused Frank,
and feeling for his sister's hand, ha said,
"Don't go, Mary; don't leav ma the
moon ia shining bright, and I guess I can
find my way to God Just as well
Nine ten eleven and then through
the dingy windowa the silvery moonlight
fell, aa if Indeed to light the way of the
early lost to heaven. Mary had drawn
her mother's lounge to the aide of the
trundle bed, and in a state of almost per
fect exhaustion Mrs. Howard lay gasp
ing for breath, while Mary, aa it con
scious of the dread reality about to oc
cur, knelt by her side. Once Mrs. How
ard laid her hands on Mary's bead, and
prayed that she might be preserved and
kept from harm by the God of the or
phan, and that the sin of disobedience
resting on her own head might not be
visited upon her child.
After a time a troubled sleep came up
on her and she slept until roused by s
low sob. liaising herself up, she looked
anxiously toward her children. The
moonbeams fell upon the white, placid
face of Frank, who seemed calmly sleep
lug, while ovesr htm Mary bent, pushing
back from his forehead the thick clus
tering curls, snd striving bard to smoth
er her sobs, so that they might not dis
turb her" mother.
"Does h sleep?" asked Mrs. Howard,
and Mary, covering with her hands the
face of him who slept, answered:
Turn sway, mother don't look at
him. Franky is dead. He died with his
arms around my neck, and told me not
to wake you." .
Mrs. Howard was in the last stages of
consumption, and now she lay back, half
fainting upon her pillow. Toward day
tight a violent coughing fit ensued, and
she knew that she was dying. Beckoning
Mary to her side, she whispered, "1 am
leaving you alone in the wide world. Be
kind to Ella and our dear little Allie,
and go with her where she goes. May
God keep and bless you my precious chil
dren and reward you as you deserve, my
darling "
The sentence was unfinished, and in
unspeakable awe the orphan girl knelt
between her mother and brother shud
dering In the presence of death, and
then weeping to think that she waa alone.
CHAPTER III.
Just on the corner of Chicope Com
mon, and nnder the shadow of the century-old
elms which skirt the borders of
the grass plat called by tha villagers the
"Mall," stands the small red cottage of
Widow Bender, who in her way was
quite a curiosity. All th "ills which flesh
is heir to" Widow Bender, if she could
ascertain the symptoms, was sure to have
In the most aggravated form.
On tha morning following the events
narrated in tha last chapter Billy, whose
dreams had been disturbed by thoughts
of Frank, arose early, determined to call
at Mrs. Howard's and aee if they were
. In want of anything. But bis mother,
who had heard rumors of the scarlet fe
ver, waa up before him, and on descend
ing to the kitchen Billy found her sitting
before a blazing fire her feet In hot wat
er and her head thrown bark in a manner
plainly showing that something new had
taken bold of her in good earnest.
"Oh, William," said she, "I've lived
through a tight, but my time has come at
last. Such a pain in my head and stom
ach. I do believe I've got the scarlet
fever, and yon must run for the doctor,
quick."
"Scarlet fever!" repeated Billy; "why,
you've had it once, and you can't hare It
again, can you?"
"Oh, I don't know I never waa like
anybody- else and can hare anything a
: dozen times. Now be spry and fetch the
doctor; but before you go hand me my
muff box and put the canister top heapiu'
full Of tea Into th tespot."
Billy obeyed, and then, knowing that
the green tea would remove his mother's
ailment he hurried away toward Mrs.
Howard's. The sun was just rising.
Within the cottage there was no sound or
token of life, and, thinking its Inmates
were asleep, Billy paused several min
utes upon the threshold, fearing that he
should disturb their slumbers. At last,
with a Vague presentiment that all was
not right, he raised the latch and enter
ed, but Instantly started back In aston
ishment at the scene before him. On the
thundlc bed lay Frank, cold and dead,
arJ near him, in the same long, dream
. less sleep, was his mother, while between
them, with one arm thrown lovingly
across her brother's neck, and her cheek
pressed against his, lay Many ber eye

Ing, she atlll ahed. On th other aid of
Frank, and nestled to closely to him that
her warm breath lifted the brown curia
from hia brow, waa Ella. But there wer
no tear stains oa her face, tor ah did not
yet know how bereaved ah waa. -
For a monient Billy atood Irresolute,
and then, aa Mary moved uneasily ia her
slumbers, he advanced a step or two to
ward her. Tha noise aroused her, and
Instantly remembering and comprehend
ing th whole, she threw herself with a
bitter cry into Billy' extended anus, a
it he alone were all the protector she now
had in th wide, wide world. Ere long
Klla, too, awoke, atd the noisy outburst
which followed the knowledge of her loss
made Mary atill the agony of her own
heart in order to soothe th mors violent
grief of her excitable sister. Billy's
tears war flowing, too, but at length
rising up, h aaid to Mary, "Something
must be done. The villagers must know
of it, and I ahall have to leave yen aloa
while I tell them,"
In half aa hour from that time th
cottage was nearly filled with people,
some of whom came out of Idl curiosity.
But there were others who went there
for the sake of comforting th orphans
snd attending to the dead, and by noon
th bodiea were decently arranged tor
burial
"There will be no trouble," said one. 'In
finding a place for Ella, ah is so bright
and handsome; but aa for Mary, 'I am
afraid she'll have to go to the poorhonse."
"Were t in a condition to take either,'
replied Mrs. Johnson. "I should prefer
Mary, for in my estimation th Is much
the best girl; but there is the baby, who
must go wherever Mary does, unless she
can be persuaded to leave her."
Before anyone could reply to thia re
mark Mary, who had overheard every
word, cam forward, and, laying her
face on Mrs. Johnson's lip. sobbed out,
"Let me go with Alice; I told mother I
would,"
Billy Bender, who sll this while had
been stsnding by the door, started for
home, never once thinking, untlf ha
reached It, that his mother more than
aix hours before, had sent him in great
bast for the phystcisn. On entering tha
house be found her, as he expected, rolled
up in bed, apparently in the last stage of
scarlet fever; but before she could re
proach him he said. "Mother, bar yon
heard the news?"
Mrs. Bender hsd a particular lor for
news, and bow forgetting "how near to
death'a door" ahe had been, she eagerly
demanded, "What newt? What baa hap
pened?" .
When Billy told ber of the sudden
deaths of Mrs. Howard and Frank, an
expression of "What? That all?" passe.)
over her fsce, and she said, "Dear me,
my snuff. Billy. Both died last night, did
they? Hain't you nothin' else to tell?"
"Yes, Mary Jndsos and Ella Campbell,
too, are dead."
Mrs. Bender, who, like many others,
courted the fsvor of the wealthy and
tried to fancy herself on intimate terms
with them, no sooner heard of Mrs.
Campbell's affliction than her own dan
gerous symptoms were forgotten, and,
springing up, she exclaimed, "Ella Camp
bell dead! Wbat'll her mother do? -1
must go to ber right away. Hand me my
double gown there in the closet, and give
me my lace cap in the lower drawer, and
mind yon bare the teakettle biled agin I
get back." .
"Before yon go anywhere, support yon
stop at Mrs. Howard's and comfort poor
Mary, who cries all the time because she
snd Alice have got to go to the poor
house." "Of course they'll go there, and they
ort to be thankful they've got so good a
place."
"I want to ask yon," said Billy, "can't
we couldn't yon take them for a . few
days, and perhaps something may turn
up?"
"William Bender," ssid the highly as
tonished lady, "what can yon mean? A
poor, sick woman like me, with one foot
in the grave, take the charge of three
pauper children! I sha'n't do it, and you
needn't think of it."
"But, mother," persisted Billy, who
could generally coax her to do as he liked,
"it's only for a few days, and they'll not
be much trouble or expenxe, for I'll work
enough harder to make it up." -
"I bare said no once, William Bender,
and when I say no, I mean no," was th
snswer.
Billy knew she would be less decided
the next time the subject was broached,
so for the present he dropped it, and tak
ing his cap he returned to Mrs How
ard's, while his mother started for Mrs.
Campbell's.
Next morning between the hours of 0
and 10 the tolling bell tent forth its sad
summons, and ere long a few of the vil
lagers were moving toward the brown
cottage, where in the same plain coffin
slept the mother and ber only boy. 1 Near
them aat Ella, occasionally looking with
childish curiosity at the strangers around
her, or leaning forward to peep at th
tip of the new morocco shoes which Mrs.
Johnson bad kindly given her; then, when
her eyee fell upon the coffin, she would
burst into such sn agony of weeping that
many of tha villagers also wept in sym
pathy, and aa they stroked her soft hair,
thought, "how much more she loved, her
mother than did Mary," who, without a
tear upon her cheek, sat there Immova
ble, gazing fixedly upon the marble face
of her mother. Alice was not present,
for Billy had not only succeeded in win
ning his mother's consent to take the chil
dren for a few days, but he hsd also
coaxed her to say that Alice might com
oefore the funeral, on condition that he
would remain at bom and tak car of
her. .
CHAPTER IV.
Scarcely three hours bad passed sine
the dark, moist earth was heaped upon
the humble grave of the widow and her
son, when again, over the village of Chic
opee, floated the notes of the tolling bell,
and immediately crowds of people, with
seemingly eager haste, hurried toward
the Campbell mansion, which was soon
nearly filled. ,
On a marbl table In the same room lay
the handsome coffin, and in it slept young
Ella. Gracefully ber small waxen hands
were folded one over tba other, while
white, half-opened rosebuds wer wreath
ed among the curls of her hair. "She Is
too beautiful to die, and the only child,
too," thought more than one at they look
ed first at the sleeping clay and (hen at ,
the atrlcken mother, who, draped In deep
est black, sobbed convulsively. And yet
she was not one-half so desolat as was
th orphan Mary,, who In Mrs. Bender's
kitchen sat weeping over ber sister Alice,
and striving to form words af prayer
which should reach th Gsd f th tatae
"My mother, h! my mother," ah cried,
a ah stretched her hands toward th
clear bin sky, now that mother' horn.
"Way dtdnt I die, too?"
There was a step apon the grata, and
looking no, Mary saw standing near her
Mrs. Campbell's English girl, Hannah.
She had always evinced a liking for Mrs.
Howard's family, and bow after finishing
her dishes, and trying ia vain to speak
a word of consolation to Dor mistress,
who refused to b comforted, ah had
stolen away to Mrs. Bender's, ostensibly
to see all th orphans, but la iaM'J a
see Ella, who had always been her favor
ite. Tha sight of Msry's grief touched Han
ash' heart and sitting down by th lit
tle girl ah tried to comfort her. Mary
felt that her words and manner wer
prompted by real sympathy, and -after a
time ah grew calm, and listened whU
Hannah told her that "aa soon aa her
mistress got so anybody could go near
her, sb meant to ask her to tak Ell
Howard to fill th place of her own
daughter." '
"They look aa much alike aa tw
beans." aaid she, "and s'poslu Ella How
ard ain't exactly her own Bean and blood,
ahe would grow into liking her, 1 know."
. That night after her return home Han
nah lingered for a long time about th
parlor door, glancing wistfully toward
her mistress, who reclined upon the sofa
with her face entirety hidden by her
cambric handkerchief.
"It's most too soon. I guess," thought
Hannah. "I'll wait till to a-orrow."
Accordingly next morning, when, is ah
had expected, she was told to carry her
mistress' tnat and coffee to ber room.
ah lingered for awhile, and seemed sot
desirous of apeeking that Mr. Campbell:
asked what she wanted. j
"Why, yon see. ma'stu. I was going to j
ssy a word about about that youngest!
Howard girl. She'a got to go to the poor
house and it's a pity, she's so handsome,
Why couldn't ah come her and live?
1'U tak car of her, and 'twouldn't bi
nigh so lonesome."
At this allusion to her bereavement
Mrs. Campbell burst into tears, and mo
tioned Hanuah from the room.
"I'll keep at her tilt I fetch it about."
thought Hannah. But further persuasion
from her waa rendered unnecessary, for
Mrs. Uncoln called that afternoon, and
after assuring her friend that ahe nevet
before saw one who was so terribly af
flicted, casually mentioned the Howard
and th eitreni poverty to which they
were reduced.
Here Mrs. Campb. ll commenced weep
ing, and as Mrs. Lincoln soon took her
leave ah waa left alone for several
hours. At the end of that time, impelled
by something nh could not resist, sht
rang the bell and ordered Hannah to go
to Mrs. Bender's and bring Ella to ber
room, aa ah wished to se how she ap
peared. (To b continued.)

NEW USfc FOR ELECTRICITY.
Oninea PIk Are Fattened by th Em

This is the age of electricity, so that
one la not surprised to bear that an
electric diet has been discovered.
Naturally, you would conclude that
it is designed to aid Invalids of weak
digestion, but It is something of a shock
to learn that the latest scientific dis
covery has no nobler object than the
fattening of pigsl f
Certainly, there is an element of
novelty In the notion of eating electrici
ty fattened pork. Besides, from pigs
we may yet rise to higher things.
Anyway, Dr. 'W. J. Herdman hat
found out that the galvanic current pro
motes the growth of tissue that Is to
say, the increase of flesh, It had pre
viously been ascertained that plants de
velop more rapidly under the electric
stimulus and there was no obvious rea
son why animals should not be equally
responsive to It. Hence the Idea of
Dr. Herdman, which promises well,
though Its application cannot as yet be
said to have passed beyond the expert
mental stage, '
The doctor began his experiment!
with guinea pigs, half a dozen of which
he put In each of two cages, taking care
tbat they should all be of exactly the
tame age, so at to make the conditions
of the trial at free from flaw at pos
sible. Around one of the cages he
strung several wlret, through which
a current of electricity was passing
night and daf while nothing of the
kind was done with the other. Mean
while, for a ttated period, the anlmali
In both cages were fed with a precisely
equal quantity of provender of the tame
kind, ao that there should b no ail
vantage In thla reaped on either side.
Aa a result, It waa found that the
guinea pig that lived tu aa electric
environment gained In weight during
a measured ttuit 10 per rent uor than
those In th nonelectric cage.
Dr. Herdwaa I confident that ordi
nary pigs. If subjected to almllar treat-
utout, would exhibit like result. 1U
propose to build suitably wired pens
aud to furnish the growing twine wlib

The people or England are much In

that prohibition does not prohibit aud
that regulation Is much better. As reg

supply only the purest drinks. The
