"The house is sold," cried Minnie
Morrison, excitedly, bursting in, like a
thunderbolt of woe, upon hsr pale, fair
mother's anxious musing. - "That hate
ful old Mr. Grimf orm bid against us
nol ody e!e would have beefl cruel
and the house is his."
Mrs. Morrison never answered a
word. This sudden blow, striking at,
and utterly destroying a cherished hope,
was too much for her. . She pazed for a
nisment into her daughter' flushed, in
dignant face, and theu dropped her
head uuen two tremulous wh't' Viands,
with' a low cry of misery.
In an instant Minnie was on her
knees before her, suothmg, expostulat
ing, caressing and comforting, all in a
breath.
"After all, a bouse is but a house,
mamma darling; it isn't as if we had
lost each other, you and I; and theugh
you are o much attached to this one,
and it would have been very pleasant
indeed to have it for our owa, we will
get just as fond of another home in
time, you know. I'lease don't fret tor
it, for my snUe."
The mother looked up sorrowfully.
She drew the fiirl'3 fair head close to
her breast and kissed her sweet lips
tenderlj'.
"It is for yeur sake that I grie-ye, my
dearest; I should care but little it only
my own interests were at stake. But
we are known in this place and can
make a living. The few hundreds
which your poor father left, and which
I have kept for you, would have been
well invested in the purchase f this
house, which would then have been ourg
beyond all risk. And this is such an
out-of-the-way place, and no neighbor
would have bid against us; it is the
most cruel disappointment that this
rich man to whom our peer house can
be nothing should have taken it out ot
our hands. I .vender I wonder did he
know?"
The last words were spoken as if to
herself, but Minnie answered them ln-

Some months ago the people of Pen
dleton were said to be opposed to the
Indians' agreeing to the terms of the
Slater bill. It is now rumored that this
apposition has been withdrawn with the
'inderstanding that the Indians select
their laud3 ic severalty from the eastern
part of the reservation, leaving the land
near I'cadictou tor white settlement.
It is when evil doing is mn,ue some
what respectable by custom that it is
most insidious in its encroaches upon
good morality, and is the most difficult
to combat. A great advance is always
made when wrongdoing is made disrep
utable, when the powerful police of
public opinion drives it out of sioht. It
is cause for congratulation when it is
ohlitred to scree: itself from publicity,
to skulk in back room?, and sneak in at
side doors and rear alleys, when it is
made to feel that it is disreputable.
Some people pretend to hold a hypo
crite in holy honor. They pretend
further that they have more respect for
the man who is bad "open and above
hoard" than for a hypocrite. Perhaps
they toryet that a man is responsible
tor his appearance and his inilueuce up
on others as well as for his overt acts.
The man who does wrong and is so
shamed of it as to try and hide it from
ihr- public faze, is not as bad a man for
sociuy as the one who does the same
wrong and spealy glories in his shame.

Some people are sill

" ti, he did know, the old hard
heart. Harry Miller" she blushed
charmingly as she spoke the same
"Harry Miller is his clerk and made so
bold as to tell him all about it. And
he said Mrs. Morrison could continue
his tenant if she chose, though he
should raise the rent. Ugh! how I hate
him!"
I Ins was what 1 teared, slie said.
"God knows how hard it is to pay the
rent even now; any increase of our ex
penses must needs encroach on eur little
capital, or break down my health by
additional toil. Oh, if he knew how
bitterly I am punished, would he not
spare';"
And she arose and went sadly from
tneroom.
Minnie did not follow her. She was
pondering in mute bewilderment her
mother's words:
"Oh, if he knew how bitterly I am
punished, would he not spare?"
"Punished for what? Why should
he know? Why should he spare? There's
some mystery here something that
mamma keeps even from me. She said
that in her distress aud then went away
for fear I should notice it and question
her. 15ut I won't; I'll find it out with
out that, and see if I can't help her.
Let me see. Who can I question! Mr.
Griniform himself, lie must kuow what
the mystery is; I'll ask him."
With Minnie to resolve was to do.
Without giving her mother a hint of
her daring intention, she Dut on her
ejough to imag-1 butuiet an(l slirmed ouietlv "out of doors
t visit the obnoxious Mr. Grimform.
She had never yet seea this gentle
man, who had indeed but lately come
Minnie blushed crimson. Harry
spoke up bravely, '
Miss Minnie and I are engaged, sir."
Ah, indeed! The task I have set you
thouU be a labor of love, then. Set
about it at once. Do vou love hin; trur
ly, Minnie?" he questioned, when Harry
had left the room. .
"Indeed I do," she answered honestly.
"And if some older, wealthier lover
tempted you with gold, do you think
you could be true to love?"
"Love is far better than gold, I think,'
she answered simply. J. . -
"So thought not your mother when
:he was betrothed to me," he muttered
bitterly as he turned away. Then
aloud: "Well, child, I wish you all
tke happiness that a constant love de
serves. ATo such as it too often receives,
little Minnie. I have been constant to
one love all my lite, and the wages of
my fidelity have been loneliness and
paia. Ah, here comes Harry. Give
this paper to your mother from me, and
say to her, 'the past is past!'"
"The past is past, indeed," said Mrs.
Morrison, a few hours later as she stood
in her lover's presence again for the first
time in twenty years. "But sutler the
present to explain it, Horace, suffer tho
future to atone. My father was oa the
verge of ruin, could L deny him when
he appealed to me? You were poor,
absent; bankruptcy, disgrace, perhaps
a prison, threatened the father I so
loved. Yet I wrote to you explaining
my cruel pasition, aud imploring you
to forgive the falsehood to which I was
compelled " '
"I never received one line," he cried,
approaching her far the first time and
taking her trembling hands. "Kot
ene!"
"I know that well," she sighed, "al
though I never learnt it till long alter
ward. . I waited vainly for your reply,
and concluded, with a broken heart,
that you refused rae even your for
giveness. It was not until my father
died two years ago that I knew he
had suppressed my letter."
She put her hand upon his lips as she
spoke.saying softly :
"Pardon him."
He caught that still beautiful hand
and kissed it again and again.
"Oh, how I have mourned for yen,
my lost love, my false love, as I be
lieved. How I have cursed your infi
delity. But I never wished you harm
or did you wrong, dear; my love was
so did I, and before midnight we were
both solid, with all the other doctors
and lawyers in town hanging around
with nothing to do.
'Along about 2 o'clock in the morn
ing we both got to our room and re.
ported progress. lie had dressed the
man's wounds and was to call a jam in
the morning, and I had seen the prison
er, had a long interview with him and
his friends, planned out a very brilliant
line of defense, and ' spent three bit
treating the deputy sheriffs.' The Doc
reported that the wounded, man seemed
to have money , wd i reported that the
prnron'er'anA his crovviT hud agreed that
if I got him clear I waa to hare $250.
We went to bed confident that we had
made a good beginning The next
morning the Doc was up some time be
fore me, because he was a little anxious
about his patient, and, as he was leav
ing the room, he said:
"I'll be back after a little. Wait
half an hour or so, and I will ga to
breakfast with you."
"I got up after a while, and, as he
had not returned, I sat down and began
mapping out on paper the case of my
client. 1 had just got well into the
business when I looked up, and there
stood the Doe.
"The man's gone!" he gasped, look
ing vacantly around.
"Gone where?" says I.
"Don't kow," he said. "Some of
the boys say he's dead and buried, and
ethers say he's gone to Dead wood. I
couldn't find any trace of him or the
gang. 1 saw your client, though.
"Where 'bouts?" says I.
"Down hetfc, hanging to an awning.'1
"Jerusalem!" says I, aud I grabbed
my hat and walked down the street.
Sure enough, there was my man hang
ing dead to an awning. I felt of his
pulse and of his pockets, but didn't get
auytbiag. Kyerybedy had disappeared
from the town for the time being, and I
went back to our rooms. We talked
the matter over long and earnestly, and
after we had looked at the thing in all
its bearings we cane to the conclusion
that young men had no chance in that
town, and left."

He shook his head.
"Not enough not near enough.

She was looking into his eyes, but
she drew back suddenly, a blush and a
smile together swept over her face.
"What price?" &he said.
"Yourself," he answered eagerly, aud
caught her to his breast.
She lay there happily.
"But I will not pay your price," she
whispered presently. "I will take the

Notwithstanding the great number of
public and private schools and the at
tention that is supposed to be paid to
all c iiicational subjects, it is a matter of
astonishaient that we have so tew good
readers. Even anions those whose bus
iness necessitates much reading aloud,
clergymen and lawyers for instance,
good readers are very rare. To read
well the pronunciation mast be perfect,
the enunciation clear and the articula
tion distinct. The two latter are apt to
be neglected until it is too late to reme-
orated Biisiness i dy the defect without great difficulty.
That reading which clearly conveys to
the listener the meaning of the author,
that has no peculiarities to divert the
attention from the subject matter, must
be pronounced good. Such plain read
ing precludes much of what may be
termed "style" which is io frequently
affected, to the detriment cf conveying
the sons intended. Reading should
be as natural as possible. In view of
tiou ef his outward as well as internal
hideousness, that when her lever as
sured her that his employer was rather
handsome than otherwise, she consid
ered the statement a mero satirical re
mark.
"Of course he's as ugly as hateful,"
she aisured herself.
So, when she canie into his presence
at last, she was rather taken by sur
prise. Iron-gray hair and a steru ex
pression made him, perhaps, somewhat
formidable, but iu the still handsome
features and commanding figure there
was nothing that fulfilled the
of his name.
She was a little embarrassed, when
he civilly inquired her business, as to
how she should besrin, but determined
very quickly to explain te him the plain
facts of the case, which she accordingly
did, ending with the question:
Did you ever know my mother? And,
if so, how has she ever wronged you,
that you should hate her so?"

A Lawyer and Doctor as Partners.
An old lawyer and a youag doctor,
the former with a very red nose and
the latter with only a suspicion of a
moustache, had been hunting-together
for about two years through eastern
miniug town3, and had been unable to
fir-J a place where the chances of sue
cess seemed good. The lawyer called
the younn man Doc. and Doc called
the old man Judge. Among their ex
periences they relate the following:
"The first towu we struck," the Judge
j said, "was Lead City, up in the Black
Hills, aud as there were only three er
four lawyers aad doctors there we
thought we had hit it right the first
