Strong and Steady
By HORATIO ALGER, JR.
CUAPTEK II. (Continued.)
At live o'clock on the afternoon of the
day after Mr. Conrad's death, Mr. Drum
niond entered the house, which was on
the opposite side ot the street from the
store. This was the supper hour, and
tupper was ready upon the table.
A single glance was sufficient to show
thai Mr. Drnniniond was not a man to
indulge in luxurious living. There was a
plate of white bread, cut in thin slices,
n small plate of butter, half a pie, and
a plate of cake. A small pitcher of milk,
a bowl of coarse brown sugar, and a pot
ot the cheapest kind of tea completed the
preparations for the evening meal. Cer
tainly there was nothing extrnvagant
ntiout these preparations; but Mr. Drum
tnond thought otherwise. His attention
was at once drawn to the cake, and in
Mnntly a frown gathered ujon his face.
"Are you going to have company to
night, Mrs. Drummond Y" he nsked.
"Not that I know of," answered his
ife, in some surprise.
"Thou why is it that you have put both
(lie and cuke on the table?"
"The cake is a cheap kind."
"No cake is cheap, Mrs. Drummond. I
tnke it you used eggs, butter and sugar
in making it. You are probably not
aware that nil these articles are very dear
a- present. Until they get lower we need
not have cake, except when company is
present. Take away the cake, if you
please. You can save it for Sunday even
mg." "I am afraid it will be dried up by that
lime."
"If it is dry, you can steam it. I have
continually to check you in your extrava
gant tastes. Cake and pie, indeed ! If
you had your way, you would double my
household expenses."
Mrs. Drummond rose from the table,
and meekly removed the offending cake.
Just then the third and only other mem
ber of the family entered.
This was Joshua Drummond, the only
son, now eighteen years of age. though he
looked scarcely more thnn sixteen. He in
herited his father's meanness, but not his
fmgality. Ho was more self-indulgent,
and, though he grudged spending money
for others, was perfectly ready to spend
as much as he could get hold of for himself.
CHAPTER III.
Over Joshua, Mr. Drummond had less
control than over his wife. The latter
gave way meekly to his unreasonable re
quisitions ; but Joshua did not hesitate to
l make opposition, being as selfish and self
willed as his father, for whom he enter
tained neither respect nor affection.
In silence he helped himself to bread
and butter, and In due time accepted a
piece of pie, which Mrs. Drummond made
larger at the expense of her own share.
Finally Mr. Drummond remarked:
"I've had a telegram to-day from Wil
foughby." "From Willoughby?" repeated his wife.
"Isn't that where your cousin, William
Conrad, lives?"
"He doesn't live there any longer. He's
dead. The funeral is to, be day after to
morrow." "Shall you go?"
"Yes. It will cost me considerable; as
much as five dollars or more; but he was
my cousin, and it is my duty to go." said
Mr. Drummond, with the air of u man
who was making a great sacrifice.
"He was rich, wasn't be?" asked
Joshua, becoming Interested.
"Probably worth a hundred thousand
dollars," said his father, complacently.
"I should think he might have left me
something," said Joshua.
"He never saw you, Joshua," said his
mother.
"Joshua stands a better chance of get
ting a legacy from one who doesn't know
him than from one who does," said Mr.
'Jrummond, with grim pleasantry.
"He leaves children, doesn't he?"
"One child a boy. Let me see, he must
be fifteen by this time. It's likely I will
b appointed his guardian. I'm the near
est relative."
"Will he come here, then?" asked
Joshua.
"Very probably."
"Then I hope you'll live better, or he
won't stand it."
"When I require any advice from yon,
Joshua, I will apply for it," said his
father. '
Joshua inwardly hoped that bis father
would be appointed guardian, for he hop
ed that in this event it would make a dif
ference in the family living; and, besides
if his cousin were rich, he meant to whee
dle himself into his confidence, in the hope
of future advantage.
Jacob put off going to Willoughby till
the morning train on the day of the fu
neral. The next day, therefore, he start
ed, taking with him in his valise a lunch
of bread and meat tied up In a piece of
brown paper. Shortly after his arrival,
he called at the house of mourning.
"I am Jacob Drummond of Stapleton,
die cousin of the deceased," he explniued
to Nancy, who opened the door to admit
him. "Is my young relative, Mr. Con
rad's son, at home?"
"Yes, sir," said Nancy, taking an in
ventory of his features, and deciding that
he was a very disagreeable looking man,
Mr. Drummond was ushered into the
parlor, where he had a little chance to
look around him before Walter appeared.
Mr. Drummond rose at his entrance.
"I suppose you don't know me," he
enid; "but I was your father's nearest
living relation."
"Mr. Drummond, I believe."
"Yes, Jacob Drummond of Stapleton.
You have probably heard your father
speak of me?"
"Yes, sir," said Walter
"I camo us soon us I could after get
ting iu, lcgram, 1 left my business to
take care of iivl. I wanted to offer you
-my sympathy on your sad loss."
Mr. Drummond's words were kind,
though the reference to his sacrlfico iu
leaving his business might have been as
well left out. Still Walter could not feel
as grateful as ho wanted to do. Somehow
ke didn't fancy Mr. Drummond.
"You are very kind." uo said.
"I mean to be. You know I'm your
nearest relation now. I truly feel for von
In your desolate condition, and though It
may not be the right time to say It, I
must tell you I hope, when the funeral is
over, you will accompany me home and
share our humble hospitality. Mrs. Drum
mond joins me in the invitation."
"1 have not had time to think of future
nrrungcincnts," said Walter ; "but 1 thank
you for your invitation.'
"My son Joshua, too," said Mr. Drum
mond, "is longing to make your acquaint
nnce. He is older than you, but not much
larger. Joshua is eighteen, but he will
make a very pleasant companion for you
Let me hope that you will accept my in'
vitntion."
"Thank you, Mr. Drummond; I will
consult my friends about it."
"I wonder how much 1 could venture
to nsk for board," thought Mr. Drum
mond. "If I nm his guardian I can fix
that to suit myself. A hundred thousand
dollars would make me a rich man. That
is, I could m ake money from it without
injuring the boy."
Mr. Drummond asked a few more ques
tions about Mr. Conrad's sickness and
death. Walter answered them, but did
not hink it necessary to speak of his
losses by the mining company. Mr. Drum
mond was a stranger, and not a man to
inspire confidence. So Walter told as lit
tle as he could. At length the visitor,
having exhausted inquiries, rose.
"I shall be here to-morrow," he said.
"I shall return to Stapleton after the
ceremony. I hope you will make up your
mind to go back with me."
"I could not be ready so soon," an
swered Walter, doubtfully.
"I can .wait till next day."
"That will not be necessary, Mr. Drum
mond. I shall have no difficulty in mak
ing the journey alone, if I conclude to ac
cept your kind invitation."
Mr. Drummond shook our hero's hand
sympathetically, and at length withdrew.
As he went down the avenue, he took a
backward glance at the handsome man
sion in which his cousin had lived.
"That boy owns all that property," he
said, half enviously, "and never worked
a day for it. I've had to work for all
my money. But it was foolish to spend
so much money on a house. A third the
sum would have built a comfortable house,
and the rest might have been put at in
terest. If it turns out that I am the
boy's guardian, I think I shall sell it.
That'll be the best course."
CHAPTER IV.
The funeral was over. Mr. Drummond,
as indeed his relationship permitted, was
one- of the principal mourners. Consider
ing that he had not seen Mr. Conrad for
five years preceding his death, nor during
that time communicated with him in nny
way, he appeared to be very much over
come by grief. He kept his eyes covered
with a large white handkerchief, and his
movements indicated suppressed agitation.
II"? felt that this was a tribute due to a
cousin who had left over one hundred
thousand dollars. When they had return
ed from the grave he managed to have a
word with Walter.
"Have you decided to accept my offer,
and make your home beneath my humble
roof?" he asked.
"There has been no time to consult with
my friends here, Mr. Drummond. I will
let you know next week. I thank you at
any rate for your kindness."
"Do come, Walter," said his cousin,
twisting his mean features into an affec
tionate smile. "With yon beneath my
humble roof, I shall want nothing to com
plete my happiness."
Jacob Drummond went back to Staple
tou ignorant of the state of Mr. Conrad's
affairs and regarding Walter as a boy of
great wealth.
When the will was opened it was found
to bear date two years back, before Mr.
Conrad had plunged into the speculation
which had proved so disastrous to him.
He bequeathed all the property which he
did possess to Walter, with the exception
of five hundred dollars, which were left
as a legacy to his faithful housekeeper,
Nancy Forbes. At the time the will was
made, its provisions made Walter heir to
a large fortune. Now It was quite uncer
tain how things would turn out. Clement
Shaw, the village lawyer, an honest and
upright man, was made executor, being an
old and tried friend of the deceased.
With his Walter had a long and confi
dential conversation, Imparting to him
what he knew of his father's mining spec
ulation and its disastrous result, with its
probable effect In accelerating his death.
"I knew something of this before, Wal
ter," said Mr. Show. "Your father spoke
to me of being largely interested in the
Great Metropolitan Mining Company;
but of the company Itself and the extent
to which be was involved 1 knew noth
ing." "I think my father must have been
very seriously "involved," said Walter. "It
may, perhaps, swallow up the whole prop
erty." "Let us hope not. Indeed, I can hardly
believe that your father would have ven
tured in so deep as that.'
"He hod every confidence In the com
pany; he thought he was going to double
his money. If only a part of his propel ty
was threatened, I don't think it would
have had such an effect upon him."
"I will thoroughly examine Into the af
fair," said Mr. Shaw. "Meanwhile, Wal
ter, hope for the best! It can hardly be
that the whole property is lost. Do not
be too anxious."
"Do not fear for me on that account,"
said Walter. "I always looked forward
to being rich, It is true, but for ull that I
can bear poverty. If the worst comes,
and I am penniless, I am strong, and can
work. I can get along us well as thou
sands of other boys, who have to support
themselves."
Walter did not speak boastfully by any
means, but In a calm, confident way, that
argued a consciousness of power.
"Yes," said the lawyer, rcgaruing mm
attentively, "I think you are right there.
You are just the boy who can make his
own way; but I hope you will no be
obliged to do bo."
"1 am young ana strong, nancy im
spent her best years In my father's ser
vice, and sh Is no longer young. It is
right that she should have some provision.
Resides, my father meant her to have It,
and I want to carry out his wishes."
"Thts is all very generous, Walter; hut
I nm afraid It is inconsiderate. It would
not he your lather's wish to provide even
for Nancy, however faithful she may have
bten, at the expense of his son."
"It is right," said Walter. "Resides,
Mr. Shaw, ,1 find that Nancy had laid up
six hundred dollars, which she hud depos
ited in my father's hands. That also must
be paid, If there Is enough to pay it ; if
not, I will take it upon myself to pay
whenever I nm able."
"You're nn excellent boy, Walter," said
MrShnw. "I always had a good opinion
of you, and I find It Is more than deserv
ed. I honor yon for the resolution you
have expressed, though I cannot quite
agree with you alwut the five hundred dol
lars. As to the debt, that must be paid,
If there is money enough to pay it. Rut
wo can leave the further discussion of this
question foi the present. Now let us
consider what Is to become of you in the
meantime. You were at the Essex Classi
cal Institute, I believe?"
"Yes, sir."
"You would like to go back again,
suppose."
"No, Mr. Shaw. It is an expensive
school, and while it is uncertain how my
father's affairs will come out, 1 should
not feel justified In going there."
"Perhaps you are right. Of course,
you cannot stny here, and keep house by
yourself. I would Invite you to my own
house, but my wife is nn invalid, and I
have to consider her in the matter."
''Thank you, Mr. Shaw; but 1 think
perhaps I had better accept the offer of
Mr. Drummond of Stapleton. He invites
me to make my home ot his house, and for
the present, perhaps, that will be the best
arrangement."
Nancy was much troubled at the,
thought of parting from Walter, whom
shf hnd known from his infancy; but a
situation was immediately offered her in
the village, and Walter promised to tnke
her as his housekeeper whenever he had a
home of his own, and this comforted her,
although it was likely to be a long time
until then, since our hero was at present
but fifteen.'
He wrote a brief letter to Stapleton ai
fellows :
"Mr. Drummond :
"Dear Sir I will accept the invitation
you were kind enough to extend to me, for
the present, nt least, and will come to
Stapleton about the middle of next week.
You nre the only relation of my father
that I know of, nnd I think it would ba
his wish that I should go to you. If it
should be Inconvenient for you to receive
me at that time, please write me at once.
Yours respectfully,
"WALTER CONRAD."
In return, Walter received a letter
couched in the most cordial terms, in
which Mr. Drummond signed himself,
"Your affectionate cousin." He was de
lighted, he said, to think that he was
about to receive, under his humble roof,
the son of his revered and lamented
cousin. He himself met Wnltcr at the
depot.
"I am delighted to welcome you to Sta
pleton, my young friend," he said, shak
ing his hand cordially. "In the affliction
which has come upon you, let me hope
tliat you will find a haven of rest beneath
my humble roof."
Walter made suitable acknowledgments,
and proceeded to walk beside Mr. Drum
mond to the house which he termed hum
ble. It did not deserve that name, being a
substantial two-story bouse, rather ugly,
architecturally, but comfortable enough in
appearance.
"That is my humble dwelling," said Mt.
Drummond. pointing it out. "It is not
equal to the splendid mansion in which
you have been accustomed to live, but my
worldly circumstances differ widely from
those of your late lamented parent. That
is my son, Joshua, who is looking out of
the front window. I hope you may become
good friends, considering how nearly you
art- related."

Agriculture Is annually becoming
more of a business proposition nnd the
standard of labor advanced on the
irm. The farm lnborer must under
stand modern agricultural machinery
nnd how to operate It to obtain employ
ment. Machinery Is too expensive to
be trusted with Inexperienced opera
tors, and the man who can skillfully
handle modern farm Implements Is In
demand on the farm at a wage scale
that will compare favorably with the
employes In Industrial enterprises.
Farmers are now practical business
men and the majority of them keep
books on farm operations nnd know the
nmount of their profit nnd loss annual
