: Aunt Diana j The Sunshine of the Family e 4 CIIAPTKU XVII. Dr. Green wtb find given Allstm strict injunctions that sl'ie was to krci her sis. tor ns (iuift ns jwssihla, but it pcempd impossible to check tfcr storm of rxciied talk, j Mabel's only, rejlnf wns to accuse herself, nntl put ull her conduct in its blackest light. A weight of intolerable misery lay on her mind ; she felt hor own pains, were rjchly tlwcrved, but the thought that sfco hafl risked her father's life by her disobedience was more than she could bear, livery .hour she ques tioned Alison about his state. Would ho recover? Wan ho In any dancer? What did the doctor fear? Alison at last called Itoger to her aid. "What shall we do?!" she exclaimed, half crying. "Missie will not get any sleep to-night ; she is working herself into a fever, and Dr. Greenwood does not wish to give her an opiate. It breaks my heart to hear her going on about papa. I think if she could only sec him she would be more contented." "Shall 1 go to heft" he asked, hesi tating a little, for Missie had expressed no wish to see him. "Oh, yes, perhaps that will be best," she said, brightening a little. "I am so tired nnd harassed that I probably do not Bay the right thing." "I will come presently; but, Allie, I am so sorry you are so tired. Miss llard wick is downstairs, and she says she must fcee you ; she seems very much upset. Do you think you could speak to her for n moment ?"' Alison made a gesture of repugnance. It was plain that she did not wish to see Miss Ilardwick, but Roger was bent on carrying his point. ' "I have to go to my father now," he eald, quietly, "but in about a quarter of an hour I shall be ready to see Missic. I will wait for you here. Miss Hard--wick will not detain you many minutes; go, dear Allie." And Alison reluctantly obeyed him. Eva was pacing up and down the long drawing room, and came up to Alison quickly, holding out both her hands. "Oh, Alison," she mid, and the tears were running down her face unchecked, "I know you do not want to see me, but I begged so hard of Mr. Itoger to send you. Of course, you hate the sight of me. You think I urn the cause of this; but, indeed, indeed. I never knew Mr. Merle would be so angry !" ' "You tempted Mabel to deceive and dis obey her father," returned Alison, severe ly, for her heart was hard against the girl. "You knew that fie disapproved of Captain Harper, and then you encourag ed and planned this scheme. How could any father fail to be angry when his com mands are so entirely set aside?" "You must not speak against Anthony, Alison," returned Eva, in a subdued voice. 'I am engaged to him; he is onl3' my half-cousin. Mabel knew this, and she thought it would not matter coming with ns. Mamma would have told you, only I did not wish it to be made public. All this has quite spoiled my happiness. Poor, dear Mabel; i I could only see her, and help you to nurse her. But Mr. Roger ays it is quite impossible." And she wiped away some fresh tears. There was so much feeling in Evas words and manner that Alison's coldness relaxed n little. "You . must not see her," she said, gravely; "I believe papa has forbidden that for the present, but I can give her your love, and tell her that you asked after her." "Tell her I shall come every evening to inquire; tell her, too, that I shall not have a moment's peace, thinking that I am partly to blame for this. It was wron of us. Alison; I see that now. I deserve to have something to bear as well an she, jKKir darling! You and Mr. Roger must not be too hard on me. for, indeed, I am as unhappy as possible; Anna will tell you so." "I will try to forgive you," returned Alison, with a warm kiss, that evidently surprised and gratified hor. "It does not make things better to be hard and bitter against people. We need not add to our own unhappiness in that way. Now I must go, please. Give my dear love to Anna; I know she will be fretting about us." And with a quick nod Alison ran upstairs. "Well?" observed Roger, Interroga tively, as she came to his side. "I am glad you told me to go down," was her reply ; "there is good in every one, and Eva certainly appeared to advantage this evening. She is really fond of Missie, nnd she cried so about it all. She is not a bad-hearted girl." "No; and all this will do her a great deal of good. 'Evil is wrought by want of thought, as well as want of heart,' Allie. Now let us go to poor Missie." Missie flushed up very much when she saw Roger, but the next moment her face crew wan nnd pale. "Well," he said, cheerfully, taking her hot little hand, "this is a sad affair; but at least we may be thankful it is not worse. I almost think father looks n lit tle better to-night; Mrs, Meyrick thought to, too. There was certainly a slight con cussion of the brain last night, but this evening he seem more like himself.' "Oh, Roger!" and Missle'a eyes were filling In n moment, "do you really think so?" Rut the last word became a sob. "Yes, dear, and Nurse Meyrick said the (same ; he spoke more clear and articulate ly. Now," kissing her forehead, "you will be easy about him, and will try to sleep?' "There Is no sleep in my eyes," she re turned, with a little of her old excitement. "Oh, Roger, you don't know what It Is to be bruised and battered all over, and not to be able to turn without pain. If It were not for that I would go to him." "Perhaps you will bo able to go to mor row," lie returned, humoring her, for her flushed face and excited look made hi in anxious. "You will try to lie patJently nn til the morning, Mabel dear, will you not7 Alison Is so worn out, she must sleep to night, nnd, indeed, we are all overtired and Uarassef1 " fen, nnd I nm the cause," sho return ed, restlessly. "Oh, Roger, I will not nsk you to forglvo mo; Alison has, but then she !s different. Rut you, of course, yoti! can never care fOrmo again V- , "Indeed, you nrewrong, my denr$)Htlo sister," he said,'' ;ibthih.Rly V'I doCearo for you very much,"Kllhe more Jhat yon are so unhappy. When jj'oti get welt Again you sunn see now proud t sirnn be ot my two sisters, and what nice Hincs we shall have." '.'Oh, no," she returned, bursting Into tears, "I never expected any one to bo fond of tpe ngntn, I have made your life miserable, Roger; 1 hnve tormented- you just for love of tensing. If I were not so wicked I should like to die, nnd then per haps you would bo sorry for me. If any thing happens to papa, I could not live, Oh. if I could only see hint, nnd nsk him to forgive me!" "My dear, ho has forgiven you over nnd over again," returned Roger, in rather a husky voice, for he found nil this very trying: "thnt Is the best ot it. One need never be nfrnld of losing a father's love, it is not to be lost, Mabel; tho thing is against nature. If I sinned against fath er ever so, I know he must forgive me, .just because I nm his son." , " 'I will arise and go to my father,' " murmured Alison, half to. herself, but Missie heard It. "Yes, read that to me; I have been re peating fragments of tho verses all day; that is, If yod nre not too tired, Alison, with renewed thoughtfulness. "Roger will read It," returned Alison, feeling the task would h,e fiood for her brother, and- distrusting her own voice; nnd though Roger looked n little shy over it, he did not refuse. Missie lay with closed eyes anl listen ed, nnd he harassed expression passed from her face. "Thank yon; that was beautiful," she said, when he had finished. "How nicely you read, Roger I Now I will try to be good and not wake Alison. Perhaps when the light is shaded, I may drop off to sleep." Alison was in sore need of rest by this tlao; her hend nched ns well as her limbs; but she had one more duty to per form before she laid down In the little bed that had been prepared for her in Missle's room, nnd thnt was to bid her father god-night. He welcomed her with a smile. "I feel easier to-night," ho said, and' his voice was stronger. "My good nurse has made me very comfortable, and I dare sny we shall both be able to sleep n 'little. How is Pussie?' the old name escaping from his unawares. "I do not think she is any worse," she replied, cautiously; "but she still suffers a great deal, and she Is making herself so unhappy about you." "Tell her not to do that," he replied, with a little effort; "he need not tnke the blame of the accident on herself; she has enough to bear without that." "May I give her your love, papa?" "Oh, yes," he said, as though surpris ed by the question, for he knew nothing of the child's, misery. "Tell her I hope she will hnve n good night." Aud then, as he seemed weary, she left him. Missie received the message in silence, and, as the light was dim, Alison could not see her face. She fancied that just as she was dropping off to sleep there was a sound ns though some one was crying; but her senses were too drowsy to take fn the fact that it might be Missie sobbing in the darkness. Her last recol lected thought was 'about Aunt Diana. Rogpr had promised to write a few lines from the office, and she had wondered if he had done it. "How shocked Aunt Di will be." she thought, "and how sorry for us all !" The half-finished sentence was completed in her dream, for she dreamed that Grevillc was rowing them both among the water lilies, and Aunt Di was gathering roses and throwing them into her lap. "Do not cry, child, it will all come right in time," Alison heard her say; "there, is a silver lining behind every cloud, you may be sure of tha,t" And then she woke with n start. Something, she did not know what, had disturbed ber; she sat up and looked round In be wilderment. The moon was' shining full into the room, and Missle'a bed was empty. CHAPTER .XVI 1 1.. Nurse Meyrick was sleepingi on a couch In the dressing room. It had been placed so near the dor of communication that she hod a full view of her patient. He had just sunk into a' tranquil doze, nnd she had followed his .example, when a faint sound, like an ojwnlng door, roused her, and a moment .after she caught a' glimpse of a white-robed figure with long, fair hair. A young girl in a loose dress ing gown was standing by Mr. Merle's bed. Nurse Meyrlck's quick eyes discern ed that one arm was bandaged and in splints. It must be the young lady, she thought, who had been Injured In the ac cident; perhaps she was light headed. The next minute she touched her softly, "Come, my dear, come," she said coax Ingly; "you ought not to be out of your bed at this time of night : let me help you back, there's a dear young lady," for Mis sie's wide, feverish eyes alarmed her. "No, no," returned Missie, recoiling from the nurse's gentle touch. "I could not stay In bed, I could not sleep until I had seen papa. Let me stay and look nt him ; I will 'be good and not wake him." Rut the nurse shook hor head nt this. "You must not stay," she whispered, not daring to raise her voice; "your feet are bare, and you look as bad as possible. Come, my dear, let me carry you back to your room; it will scare your father to see you standing there." "No, no," returned Missie, shrinking still more; "I must stay with papa. Why does tie look so pale, and lie so still? Is ho dead? No" one told me ho was dead. Papa 1" she cried out, for she was be wildered by the dim light and her own feverish fancies. "Speak to mo only one word, just to tell me you aro alive," "Oh, hush!" exclaimed the nurse; but she was too late. Mr. Merle woke up; but in his weak condition his daughter's presence did not seem to startle him. "My dear," he paid, feebly ; "they ought not to have allowed this. You will make yourself III leaving your warm bed." "But I could not sleep," she sobbed ; "I could not rest. I thought they were hid ing tilings from me. If you had died, and I hod pever told you I was sorry, 1 should have died, too. Oh, papa, It must have klted me!" Ho smiled faintly, nnd gathered the hot little hand In his. "You, wore sorry nil tho' time, my po wore you 'not? ijVcsiHl 'nm sorry now." creeping still close?,? '."I could not risk God to forgive mo until you hnd forglvrn InewOh, papa why do ydu loJk no kindly nt 'mq when you know It Is all through piy wickedness that you arc lying hero? Of course, no one enn love mo nny more." "Not love you, Pussie I Come, come my child, fathers nre not like that. I forgive ,you freely; everything Is right, between us. Rut', my joor darling, you nre 111 nnd sutTerlng, and If you caro. fo please me let nurse enrry yo4 back la bed. "Will you let" mo kiss you first?" . His only, nJiswor was to stretch out his arms to her: hut he Wondered to see how slowly she cahio to him. How could ho guesa ench movement wns agony to tho IHtor child? How she hnd ever mnnnged to crnwl from her bed nnd across tho pas snire only she horelf know. "I hnve only ono nrm to put nround your neck," she whispered, ns ber long hnlr fell over Ids face. "Dear, dear papa, u I could only benr It nil I" And ns he felt hor tenrs upon Jus cheek ho understood how her young henrt was wrung with re morse nnd sorrow, nnd holding her n moment tried to comfort her, nnd be souclit God to bless his net. Alison wns just sitting up In affright, looking nround tho empty room, when Nurse Meyrick appeared, carrying Mis sie in hor nrms. "Oh, Mabel, where have you been? You have frightened mo sol" "Go to sleep. Alison," retuVncd Missie In n happy voice. "I hnve only been to see pnpn, nnd he hns forgiven me, nnd now I enn rest. "Sho will bo quiet now," whispered, tho nurse. "I hnve covered her up warm, and sho will rest until morning." And she was right. Though Mlsslo lay awnke, feverish nnd full of pain, she gave no more trouble, and poor Alison wns nllow- ed to sleep undisturbed until morning, For the next few days Missie wns very ill. Her agitation of mind brought on n slight feverish attack, and when this had yielded to the doctor's remedies her weak ness wns excessive. Her nerves hnd been Jarred and unstrung by the accident ; nnd the least noise, tho slamming of n door, or even a louder voice than usual, made her change color and burst Into tears. It was Impossible for her in her shattered stato nlwnys to repress irritability Again the old sharp tones and words re called Missle'a faulty temper. But there wns this Improvement she struggled bravely against her besetting sin, nnd would nsk pardon quite humbly of Alison. "I have been so cross to-day," she would say, with tears In her eyes; "I wish you would ndt be so sweet and patient with me." "I will promise to scold when you nre well enough," Alison would say, in her most cheerful manner, for she knew Mis sie must not bo encouraged to be morbid ''Just now, darling, I can only remember you are ill, and that your poor arm Is giving you trouble. I know I should be cross If I had so much to bear." Butdn spite of Alison's assumed cheer fulness "she wns growing' pale nnd thin. Her close confinement in Missle's room tried her; no one but Alison suited the sick girl's fancy no one else seemed to understand her little wnys. .Miss Leigh's gentle mournfulness irritated her; she had never cared much for Anna, nnd she had lost all desire for Eva's companion ship, nnd though her father had generous ly withdrawn bis prohibition, Eva had only once been admitted to her room. The Interview had been n little embnrrnssing. Evn had cried and begged Missie to for give her, and Missie had .been kind nnd magnanimous In her nnswer: but after the first few agitating minutes their talk hnd drifted into silence; Missie was lan guid and out of spirits, nnd Eva did not nossfss the art of soothing the bond of sympathy between them seemed broken. Both of them had yet to learn that slml larity of tastes aud. the boisterous spirits of youth, do-not lay the fqurylatlnn of a Instins friendship While Alison and Anna seemed . to cement their intimacy more every day, as the good qualities of eacli became more apparent, there were symptoms thnt Missie and Lva would drift still further opart. (To be continued.) Everybody Nolxiitjr. "You have como to sec ub nt n bad time,"' said' the Best Citizen. "Every body linH gone away for the Biinnner.

"You Hay that every body has gone nwny, nnd yet the streets seem to bo actually crowded with people." "Of course; how stupid of me!" re turned the Best Citizen.- "That Ih one of our idioms, you know, I menu ev erybody who Is anybody 1ih gone away. The workers are nil here, to bo sure." "Who Is nnybody?" persisted tho Man frpm Mars. "Well, you see that 1b another of our IdloniH," responded the Best Citi zen. "I hardly know how to explain it. It means anybody who amount to anything." "Don't the workers amount to any thing?" "Well, not lp that sense.

So it may readily he be lieved farming at that time had not been reduced to a pedagogic form, and little was done lu any of the states for years except to provide a few lec tures on bucolic subjects, for tho pur pose of hnnglng on to tho npproprla tlon. When at last President Farwoll organized a real course of Instruction, according to tho lights of tho time. It was Impossible to secure any student ti pursue It. even by dint of brlbory. which the worthy Instructors lndustrl ously tried. Book farming was scouted nnd ridi culed by every old-fashioned or "prac tical" farmer, as It is In tho "way back" districts in many states even to this day. If a boy wanted to be a law yer or a doctor, or even a parson thero was some excuso for his wasting time Jn studying books, but 'fnrmln' " wns "fnrmln"' and It wasn't to be learned In bcIiooI. Times have changed since then. Tho tenehers themselves have learned something. Many secrets hnve been unlocked regarding the chem Istry of .polls ns determining their treatment and the crops they will grow, tho scientific crossing of breeds of plants, as well as animals, tho Im provement of seeds by the selection of exemplary single heads from a plot where each straw is numbered, over a period of ten or a dozen years. One such process ns this added 12 1-2 per cent to the hard dollars In the pockets of the farmers who planted one such variety produced In the Minnesota sta tion. Spraying with mysterious col- lego connections eliminated the Insects from the orchnrds and doubled tho value of apples In the fruit market. HoicntMo Farm Intr, Husbandmen are looking more favor ably upon scientific agriculture as they come to understand that the system means farming according to the latest discoveries of the laws of plant and animal life. Farmers: used to regard scientific farming laws of agriculture as formulntod by some agricultural ed itor who had no practical knowledge of husbandry. Science means classified knowledge on nny subject, arranged for easy ref erence of the cause which produces lertnln effects. Science preserves the facts connected with overv denartnioiit if knowledge, so classified that the stu- lent can obtain nn understanding of istronomy. medicine.' chemlstrv. cool- agy, biology, entomology and Imcterlnl. Dgy. Without science the knowledge of the ages would be lost and man would tie unable to make progress. All industries aro operated for the welfare and maintenance of limn and no profession Is so allied to mankind as agriculture. It is the oldest science end tho discoveries of tho laws of ani mal and plant life systematlcnllv rlns. silled are scientific agrnculture. The Imimrtance of improved farm manage ment has Intcrostod nllko tho nntlonnl und State governments. Agricultural colleges and experiment Btntlonn aro established In all tho States to teach the science of farming. Ilusbnndmen no longer look nut upon scientific agriculture.
