"My peerless darling, would I need not
Mare you. But a very few weeks will
reunite us, never again to be parted. As
soon as I return I shall want my wife,
8haU I bare her?"
"Yes; Earle, my Earle, will you surely
be back by October fifth?"
"Yes; positively. This is bat the last
of August; I shall have plenty of time
to reach here then. But what is to hap-
(en on that date?"
"It will be my twenty-first birthday,
end then, as I told you once, a package
1 hold is to-be opened, and I shall learn
my true name, and receive a small sum,
enough for my support. Had you forgot
ten this? Will the uncertainty of my re
lationships cause any change in your
feelings? My dear aunt assured me there
was nothing to be ashamed of in my fam
ily record."
Ethel asked this question with a sud
den timidity of feeling, a dread she could
scarcely account for. .This dread, how
ever, was instantly dispersed by his an
swer. "Change in my feelings? Nothing but
my death can change my love for you! I
only hope the news you will learn on that
date will increase your happiness. What
ever it may be, it shall not delay 'our
union one hour, I promise you that; will'
you promise me the same ?"
"I will," she murmured, "since ours
will be a marriage founded on the purest
love, no worldly expectations or disap-'
pointments shall sever us."
Happy in their reciprocated love, they
fondly embraced and parted. Little they
thought as they each passed from sight
what important changes would take place
la the fortunes of at least one of them
before they met again.
CHAPTER XXIII.
After Dr. Elfenstein had left the cas
tle be leaped into his gig with a light
step and lighter heart, and, touching his
horse with a whip, started off at a rapid
pace for a village about fifteen moles
distant. On the way he passed the post
office, and running in asked for his letters
and papers. -
Among the letters was one from New
York, and the black envelope filled him
with dismay, as he felt sure it was the
forerunner of sorrowful news. Opening
it with a trembling hand, he found his
worst fears fulfilled. It contained the
dreadful news of his mother's death, just
two weeks before.
Poor Elfenstein! the shock was to him
t terrible one. lie had loved his mother
tenderly, and was anticipating the great
est pleasure in soon seeing her again,
And perhaps inducing her to accompany
liim back to his English home. Now all
was vain.
Controlling his feelings as best he
could, the mourning son resumed his .seat
mid drove onward, resolved, although
dazed by the suddenness of this blow, to
attend to his duties to the living, even
though his own heart bled.
We will not follow him upon that ride,
which proved successful a physician of
well-known capability being secured to
attend to his patients during his absence
nor will we paint the incidents of his
voyage, which proved to be short and
propitious, but will present him next to
our readers When just entering Mr. Rap
lelye' house at Yonkers. His appear
ance was expected, as he had telegraph
ed of his arrival in New York, and
intention of leaving for his residence on
the early train.
A bright smile greeted him, and the
firm pressure of his hand told that he
was truly welcome. The sick man cer
tainly had gained some strength since he
had left, for now he sat beside a win
dow, in a large easy chair, and it was
evident that he could carry on a conver
sation without the presence and aid of
Mr. Gray, his lawyer.
After a few polite and friendly re
marks, Dr. Elfenstein drew a chair close
to his side, and laying a finger upon his
pulse, smilingly said, as he did so:
"I am going to see uow, my dear sir,
how much news you can bear to be told.
Do you feel strong enough to bear a good
large amount?"
Grasping his hand in one of his thin
ones, the poor man answered, eagerly:
"Yes, iudeed I do! If you have news
that I yearn to hear, it will be better
than all the medicines I have swallowed
In a lifetime. Doctor, tell me at once,
has the mystery been solved? Is my in
nocence established?"
"Perfectly established. Your brother
was not murdered, only terribly abused.
He has been found, and died A natural
death in my own house."
Clasping his hands together, while
large tears rolled over his pallid cheeks,
the innocent brother raised his eyes to
boa ten, and murmured, reverently:
"For this. Thy great mercy, I thank
Thee. O God!"
A long pause ensued, Elfenstein pur
posely refraining from saying more, until
his first agitation had passed away.
Then, as discreetly as possible, pausing
every once in awhile to note the effect on
his feeble form, and to watch his varying
pulse, he slowly told him the whole story,
leaving the reading of the affecting jour
nal until another day.-
"Oh, my brother, my poor, dear broth
er! how terrible must have been his feel
ings all those years of solitude and de
spair! Doctor, thus you see my own
troubles have been but a speck upon the
ocean compared with his."
"Most true; and now, dear sir, you
rau.it also be aware that, since both
brothers are dead, you have become pos
sessor of title and estate. Allow me to
be the first to congratulate Sir Fitzroy
Glendenning.
The old man received the kind pres
sure of his hand and tender words with
dm miattoa. then suddenly exclaimed:
"And to you I owe this speedy discov
ery and this great Joy."
Bowing his head upon his clasped
hands, he remained thus silent and
tiumghtful Car saver! minutes. At length

"be "broke the spell with these strange
words:
"Since God In his great goodness bat
thus established my innocence, I am no
longer afraid to own, and claim my son,
and he need never be ashamed to call me
father!"
"Have you, indeed, a son, my dear
friend? This, then, will be to him also
a joy. I did not understand that you
had been married." -
"I had been secretly married, and my
wife, Clara Mowbrey, who was the or
phan daughter of the late Presbyterian
minister in a small village, came with me
to America, unknown to any one, for she
had no near relatives. She embarked,
I say, witti me, bringing our little boy,
aged two years. A fever broke out on
the ship, during our long passage, and
my darling wife died, just two days be
fore we arrived in port. It was after
she had been lain away to rest in Green
wood, that my sickness came upon me,
caused by great grief and trouble, and
Mr. Elfenstein came to my relief. . It
was to him I solemnly gave my only
child, my little Earle. I then assumed
the name of Rappelye, not even his wife
knowing of the change."
"Sir, what can you mean? Did I hear
aright?" exclaimed Elfenstein, starting
forward, pale with surprise, as this sin
gular assertion fell upon his ears.
"You did! My dear son, you did! You
are my .own Child and heir, Earle Elfen
stein Glendenning, and to you will fall
at my death my title and my estates.
Come to my arms, my dear boy, for it ia
twenty-five years since I have held you
there!"
Clasped then in a close, fond embrace,
father and son shed tears together tears
of thankfulness and joy.
Thus, while Earle Glendenning still
mourned for the only mother he bad ever
known, his mother by adoption, the
wound, so suddenly inflicted, was par
tially healed by the gift of a fond fath
er, over whose feeble health and de
clining days he now bad a perfect and
tender right to watch and guard.
By the. time they reached Glenden
ning Hall Sir Fitzroy was able to walk
around with a cane, and really seemed
to have taken a new lease upon health
and life.
With joy Earle marked this change,
and when he saw how intensely happy
he was thus to be restored to his own
home and rightful place, and how proud
to boast an honorable name and right
eous life, he thanked heaven and prayed
that he might be spared long to its en
joyment, for his lengthened days he
knew would add to his own pleasure, as
it was so sweet to own a father's love, a
father's blessing.
But in his heart he felt that no hope
of permanent change for the better could
be possible, as his maladies were in
numerable; therefore, he redoubled his
watchfulnss over his beloved form,
standing- ready to aid by skill and ad
vice, as far as Providence would per
mit, to check the great weakness he
felt sure would ensue as soon as a reac
tion, after all this excitement, should
take place.
I need not describe the Intense delight
of the lovers when they were again unit
ed, or the surprise Ethel felt on being
told that Earle had found a father since
he left her, and a new, but rightful,
name and inheritance. This news he had
not written, preferring to tell it in per
son. Sir Fitzroy was delighted with his fu
ture daughter-in-law, for Earle could not
rest until he bad taken Ethel to the hall,
in order to make them acquainted.
His feeble health made this visit per
fectly proper, and certainly gave great
pleasure to the old gentleman.- From that
time' he, as well as Earle, looked for
ward to the wedding day, which was
finally decided to take place by the twen
tieth of October, with profound pleas
ure. A few days after their arrival at the
hall, Sir Fitzroy told his son that he felt
sufficiently recruited from his fatigue,
to visit the ruins, and see the room so
long the prison of his unfortunate broth
er, and, leaning on Earle's arm, he pro
ceeded to the mournful place.
It was well a skilled physician attend
ed him on this sad visit, as he was great
ly overcome by all he saw, that so vivid
ly told of the cruel sufferings one he had
loved had endured for twenty-five long
years.
The tears he shed over each symbol of
that long captivity were almost unnerv
ing, and Earle led him away from the
spot, resolving that all these harrowing
remembrances should, if possible, be re
moved from the place. If not in his fath
er's lifetime, at least as soon as he had
passed away. But to his great surprise,
after he had rested and become calm.
Sir Fitzroy said voluntarily:
"I never, never wish to go there again!
I have seen it all once, let that suffice.
Now I wish the old ruined part with the
concealed room torn down as soon as it
can be done."
Earle waited for no further orders,
but that very day engaged workmen to
at once demolish all evidences of that
sin-dyed spot, and soon an elegant gal
lery, for pictures and statuary, stood
where had been hitherto but neglect and
decay.
CHAPTER XXIV.
The time for opening the package left
in Ethel's charge by Mrs. Nevergail was
now fast approaching, it being the first
of October, and consequently she began
to feel exceedingly anxious in regard to
the unknown parent, who was to pre
sent himself upon the fifth.
What sort of a person should she find
in him, and would he be satisfied with
her attainments and appearance? These
Questions were continually presenting
themselves to the mind of the poor girL
On the morniag of the second, a .letter
was placed in her hand by one of the
servants, and as "private" was written
on the ontside, she at once repaired to
her ovfc room in order to read It while
alone. The contents, to her surprise, raa
as follows:
"Very strange will it seem, my daugh
ter, to recive this, your first letter from
an entirely unknown parent. Not from
any lack of paternal feling have I denied
myself the pleasure of seeing my only
child, until she reaches her twenty-first
birthday, but from a train of circum
stances which made this course the wis
est. I, however, am now counting the
days when I shall at last clasp her in
my arms, and give to her a father's
kisses and blessing. I presume you have
in your possession a package to be open
ed on that eventful day. I have seen Mr.
Rogers, and he has told me of the death
of your foster mother, and that you are
residing at Castle Cairn. My child. I
shall leave Liverpool on the morning
train, reaching the xastle at noon. Un
til my appearance on the scene, I prefer
tnat you do -not open the package. To
gether we will break the seal. Until
then I will only sign myself your affec
tionate FATHER."
Noon of the long expected day at
length arrived, and her grace, the
Duchess of Westmoreland, who conde
scended to feel considerable interest in
the young governess of her granddaugh
ter, together with Lady Claire, were seat
ed in the drawing room, striving to calm
the unusual agitation of anxious and ex
cited Ethel, Who restlessly paced up and
down the elegant apartment, or flitted
from window to window, in order to
watch the drive, to catch the first glimpse
of her coming sire.
At length her weary watch was re
warded by seeing a hansom dash up to
the entrance, and an elegant looking gen
tleman descend. One moment passed,
then the door opened, and the stranger
entered.
Tall, and exquisitely proportioned, with
an air at once distingue and easy; hand
some features and large, dark eyes; hair
and full beard a rich brown, in which
blended a few gray threads. This was
the picture of the one who paused a mo
ment near the threshold to survey the lit
tle group of ladies. Then, as Ethel ad
vanced a few steps to meet him, he ex
claimed: "My darling daughter, I am rejoiced to
see you!" at the same time folding her
to his bosom in a joyful embrace.

GEESE-CATCH FISH FOR HIM.
Canny Way In Which a Scotchman
Gets Hia Dinner.
"An old Scotchman and neighbor of
mine," says an enthusiastic angler
from Rockland county, "has a method
of taking fresh water fish which, to
my way of thinking, excels all others
for the ease ,repose and success with
which it is conducted. The fisherman
living on the border of Rockland Lake
desires, we will say, a mess of pike,
porch or pickerel, with which the
waters are amply stocketl. Well, he
simply goes out to his barn-yard and
selects a big goose or a half dozen
geese as the case may be, and ties
a baited line about five feet long to
their feet.
"On reaching the edge of the lake
with a basket containing one or more
geese the fisherman turns the birds
in the water. The geese swim out and
the old Scotchman lights his pipe and
sits down. In a few minutes a fish
sees the bait and seizes it, giving
the goose a good pull. The bird starts
for the shore at full speed, frightened
half to death, dragging the fish upon
the bank where it is unhooked."
Taking Life Too Seriously.
Taking life too seriously is said to be
an especially American failing. This
may be true; but, judging from appear
ances, it would seem to be world-wide,
for, go where you may, you will find
the proportion of seriotts, not to say
anxious, faces ten to one as compared
with the merry or happy ones. If
"the outer is always the form and
shadow of the inner" and if "the pres-
Kent is the fullness of the past and the
herald of the future' (and how can we
doubt it?), how many sad histories
can be iad in the faces of those we
meet every day! The pity of it is, too,
that the sadness is a self-woven gar
ment, even as is the joy with which
It might be replaced. Buskin says:
"Girls should be sunbeams not only to
members of their own circle, but to
everybody with whom they come in
contact. Every room they enter should
be brighter for their presence." Why
shouldn't all of be sunbeams, boys as
well as girls, all along the way from
twenty-five years and under to eighty
five years and over?
The Origin of Pyrosraphy.
About a century ago an artist named
Cranch was standing one day in front
of a fire in his home at A'xniinster.
Over the fireplace was an oaken man
telpiece, and it occurred to Cranch
that this expanse of wood might be
improved by a little ornamentation.
He picked up the poker, heated it
red-hot and began to sketch in a bold
design. The result pleased him so
much that he elaborated his work and
began to attempt other fire pictures on
panels of wood. These met with a
ready sale, and Cranch soon gave all
his time to his new art. This was the
beginning of what is now known as py
rography. The poker artist of to-day
uses many different shaped tools and
has a special furnace in which they
are kept heated. The art has been
elaborated greatly. The knots, curls
and fibers of the wood are often
worked into the design and delicate
tinting produced by scorching the
panel.

Bow to Be a Successful Stepmother.
Few women who become tne secona
wife of a man with a family realize
the great responsibility which they are
aking upon themselves; and it is main
ly on this account that .so many step
mothers fail in their duty to fill the
place of the one whose position they
take in the household. There are great
difficulties In the way of fulfilling the
position of second wife to a man and
second mother to his children, which
require more than an ordlnaray
amount of common sense, tact and pa
tience to overcome, and any lack of
these virtues is liable to cause much
dissension in a home.
The position of a stepmother Is by
no means an enviable one. One of
the greatest tasks which she must set
herself to accomplish is to win the
love and respect of another woman's
children, and in many cases this Is an
extremely difficult matter. But, unless
she does this, a stepmother is' bound
to be unpopular in a home, and prob
ably be the cause of much unhappi
ness. It is not sufficient that a step
mother should rely upon her husband
to secure that respect from his first
wife's children which is due to her.
She must show them that she has
their best interests at heart and is
desirous of winning their love If they
will allow her to do so. There is al
ways a certain feeling of resentment
on the part of children against the one
who comes to take their mother's posi
tion. To a certain extent It Is only
natural that there should be, and it is
a stepmother's duty to try and remove
that resentment by proving how much
she wishes to become a second mother
to them in every sense of the term. .
No action can be more mean on the
part of a stepmother than to lavish
all her love and care on her own lit
tle ones while treating her stepchildren
with a cold indifference which creates
a dislike toward her and makes their
lives miserable. Children are partic
ularly sensitive regarding such a mat
ter, and stepmothers would be far
more popular If they would only try
to treat the children of their husband's
first wife as they would their own.
It Is, of course, almost impossible
for a woman to love the children of
another woman in the same way that
she would love her own. But the step
mother who values the happiness of
her home will conceal, as far as pos
sible, all difference in her feelings to
ward the children of her husband, and
endeavor to make them feel that she
is a real mother to them all.
By so doing she will also win still
greater love from her husband. Many
widowers do not marry a second time
for love, but simply for the sake of
their children, who need a woman's
care. It Is, more often than not, a
marriage of convenience, the man
choosing the woman whom he con
siders will best fill the place of mother
to his children. Ofter he is grievously
disappointed. But when he discovers
that his second wife is anxious to do
all in her power to win the love and
respect of her stepchildren, and make
their lives as happy as possible, his
respect for her turns to true and sin
cere love. New York News.
What Ia Is Beat.
I do not ask that life should be
- A bed of ease;
I am not like the child, who wants
Each toy he sees.
And yet 'tis hard, I think, sometimes
To see and know,
When life seems full of bitter things,
The way 'tis so.
'Tis hard to watch the ones we love
Grow sick and die,
To lay them in the grave and make
No moan or cry.
Yet those he loves God chasteneth,
So we are told;
And each in some way doth believe
The story old
That in this world what is is best;
Although we see
A thousand ways in which we think
Twould better be
To have what we have longed for, but
'Tis all in vain;
Each one must learn through care and
grief,
Sorrow and pain.
That God some trials sends to each
That one and all
May come to Him for sympathy;
May heed his call,
"Come all ye weary ones to me.
For here is rest"
And so we all would fain believe
What is is best.
Thus, though like others, I should like
At peace to be,
I only ask that he, in time,
Will give to me
A faith so sure, a love so great,
So strong and true,
That I may look to him for help
Tn all I do:
Content to know, at last for me
Will come sweet rest;
When life's hard lesson has been learned,
What is is. best.

How to Clean Waists.
Odd bodices of net and lace are so
much worn of late and are usually such
delicate and elaborate affairs that the
woman who intrusts them to cleaner
or maid is extravagant or reckless.
The simplest and safest way to have
them cleaned is to do it one's self,
a feat not at all difficult to accomplish
if one but knows the right way. A
woman who has done four net and lace
shirtwaists In this way declares that
they come out as fresh as ever: Pour
two quarts of boiling water over a
muslin bag, which has been previously
filled with bran.
Let the water stand until warm, and
well squeeze the bag in it before tak
ing it out. Now take half the bran
water and make a lather together with
some soap jelly. Put your bodice into
it. Knead well, but do not rub. When
perfectly washed, put it in the clean
bran water and shake until all soap
is removed. Fold in a warm, dry cloth
and put through a wringer. Take. a
moderate iron and iron until dry. The
bran acts as starch. Before folding
to put away, hang the garment on the
back of a chair, so that no trace of
moisture should remain.
New Uses for Old Stockings.
The tops of old woolen stockings
make good "every-day' mittens for
children. The child's hand may be

Knee protectors for the small boy
can also be made from the tops. They
cling close to the stocking, and can
easily be held in place with a couple
of small safety pins at the top, where
they will not show.
Leggings to protect the children's
limbs from the cold and their stock
ings from mud can be made from the
legs of old stockings.
If the feet of old stockings are put
on in place of the shoes, the children
may have a romp in the evening with
out disturbing the rest of the family.
The upper part of women's stock
ings make good sleeve protectors, aa
they require no pinning or elastic to
hold them up.

other use, make excellent cloths foi
