DAN CUPID'S PENANCE,
Sao Cnpld once, in penitential mood
As Lent drew near. Impelled by Coa
science's pricks,
Resolved to try hU turn at being good,
And Issued cards "At home from 4
till 0."
Ilia guests came flocking at hi royal call,
And dimpled cupidx, dressed 'In smiles
and wings,
Served tea ambrosial nectar to them all
With heart-shaped sandwiches and
more good things.
When all were served Dan Cupid took the
floor,
"My friends, before you leave me to go
borne
Some trite advice I'm going to give once
more,
And each a gift,, for use In time to
come.
There'? many a one of you I'll give no
name
Who owes to me a husband or a wife;
Some, being happy, bless utc; some for
all are not the same
Blame mc for their uuhappy married
life.
"My conscience vexed me sore for those
whom Fate.
Fcrbaps through mc has treated most
unkind;
But here's a remedy, e'en though It seems
too late,
A sovereign cure and panacea you'll
find.
"You know love should lie blind," he
archly said, and passed
A 'kerchief, neatly folded, to each
gnest;
"When matrimonial seas are rough, with
tcary clouds o'ercast,
Bind this on both fault-finding eyes;
j then, being sightless
tct love do tb rest."
Puck.
paHE had nerved herself to meet
2)jber father; She glanced la the
'"'mirror ami saw how pale she
"was. Her father would be pale, too,
but how different bis pallor from her
own his a pallor like uoue other lti the
vorld.
A shiver passed over her. Did she
love her father? Her anger went out
to him, not her love; her love was for
Jack, and he could never be anything
w ner. Last fright she had written to
Jack and told lilm the truth, and the
truth would separate them forever. She
was the daughter of a thief!
What useleswueas It had been for her
mother to move huudreds of miles from
the old home; It had been done for the
tusband, not for the daughter. For the
daughter there had been a half year's
residence In this new place, and a
learning to love a man whom she bad
last night declined to marry. Her fa
ther had wrought this uuhapplness as
he had wrought so much more.
What grief Imd not her father
wrought! The day he went to prison
for the defalcation in the bank where
He bad been cashier and her mother's
father manager, had not her" mother's
father fallen dead? The world had
aid the old banker could not stand the
disgrace. And what more? Had not
her mother's mother, always an Invalid,
been stricken by her husband's death,
and never beeu told of her son-in-law's
crime? There lmU'lec'u a mass of de
ception, the poor, feeble woman being
ted to believe that her daughter's bus
pand, whom she loved as a son, bad
sone away on business, and letters writ
ten In his prison cell bud been read to
ter, and they told her of great pros
perity In the West, with a cheerfulness
th.at was appalling. Yes. the girl al
most hated her father as she thought
over the events of the past four years.
And yet, would she huve hated him
save for Jack?
She pressed her hands fiercely to her
eyes.
Suddenly she started; there was a
step on the stairs, her mother was
bringing her father up to her. How
.should she meet him? Had It not been
loving and true wife till God should
part us In death. We always spoko of
you, mother nnd I."
"Your mother," his dry lips sold,
"where Is she?"
His wife caught bis hand.
"Dear," she said, "can you bear a
little more?"
He looked at her.
"Annie," she said, sternly, "get mc
those letters."
The girl went nnd took from the book
case a packet, which she brought lo her
mother.
"My letters to your mother," the
man's lips seemed to say, "nnd un
opened." His wife fondled his hand.
"It was only a few months ago," sho
said. "I could not tell you the truth,
any more than I could tell her. The
truth would have made you unhappler,
and I wished to tell you myself. She
loved you as she loved mc. One morn
ing one of your letters came, and until
I could rend It her she asked me to
let her hold It. An hour later we found
her with the letter held up to her heart,
and she was very white nnd quiet
There had been no struggle whatever
no pain. We laid her beside father,
whom she had never ceased grieving
for, and who had given her every com
fort In life, even when, I am sure, he
could hardly afford the extravagances
ordered by her physicians. It Is nil
over, and happily over, for both of
them, dear, nnd you .were always kind
and good to them."
A low, long sigh broke from the man.
Then silence fell; the sound of the tram
lells In the street came distinctly to
them, and the ticking of the clock on
the mantel was strangely loud.
There was a movement on the part of
Annie; she rose and came and kneeled
beside her father's chair.
"Father," she said, "you must forgive
me. I am not very happy. I do not
mean to be hard, but I can't go back
from my reasoning. You have not only
mother, but you have me also; I will do
what I can, I am sure you know that,
and-af ter a while you will not miss any
thing In me."
"Go back to your seat," commanded
her mother. "Do you know that you
are In the presence of a broken heart?
Doesn't your father accuse himself of
more than you accuse him of? Who
are you, with your paltry love troubles,
to come to him In a time like thlsi"
"Hush, Mary!" said her .husband,
"hush!"
The silence fell again.
Annie sat alone; she was apart from
everything; there was no love for her
any more. Heratbcr had expiated his
sin In the eyes' of the world; In her
heart the sin that had been bis still
lived. For there was Jack, and she had
given him up because of her father's
guilt. There was a narrowing of the
radius; no matter for Jack. If her fa
ther were only an Innocent man! Love
surely created a desire for purity, for,
since she had learned to love Jack, her
father's sin had grown and grown upon
her, and before that the sin had been
tempered by her pitying love and her
prayers for heaven's forgiveness.
The daughter of a thief! Ob, why
bad she met Jack? Why had she al
lowed herself to care for him? Why
had she let herself feel glad when she
knew that he loved her? Why had she

"Annie!" said her father's voice. It
was .1 firm voice now, no quaver of
doubt in It, nnd It forced her like a
command she dared not disobey.
She rose from her seat mid faced Mm.
Despite the physical changes In him,
she saw before- her his old self strong,
not unbruve, not disloyal, not a crimi
nal. "You have given up your lover," ho
went on, rapidly. "You have given him
up because of me. Pay attention to me.
I will tell you whnt I had hoped never
to tell a living soul on earth. And I
must speak before your mother conies
back, for she must never know. Hut
you must kuow, nnd the man who hud
nsked you to be his wife and whom you
refused on account of uie. I will go to

that I have wrecked no life, that I have,
not wrecked my daughter's happiness.
Do you hear me? I have not Interfered
with your right to be happy with the
man you love. I have lieen adjudged a
criminal; I have served a criminal's
sentence. Hut I am an luuocent man,"
and he turned nnd poluted to the pic
ture of his wife's father, "that man
knew It. 1 sacrlllced, not your mother,
not you, but my own standing lu so
ciety nnd the minds of men for the sake
of my wife's father nud his Invalid
wife."
She gasped, she understood him. and
I she trembled from head to foot.
"I would uover have told you." he
went on, "ouly that you gave up' your
life's happiness because of my disgrace.
Your forfeited love for me would never I
have brought this confession, for what
I did was done to save an old man and
an old woman who had been as a moth
er to me. If nature could not muke
your love surmount my shame, that
love Is of little account. Your mother's
father's sin made me n prisoner; It wns
he who took the tnouey, nnd 1 the
blame. I have proofs of nil this, and
I am glad I never destroyed them, for
I must sJiow those proofs to the daugh

of no account."
"Father!"
There was a quality lu her cry that
told him more than many words; she
sprang to bis arms, her heart held close
ly to his he was Innocent; he was In
nocent; and though her life's greater
love might be over and done, the man
wJ- had asked her to marry Mm bad
not loved the daughter of a thief!
There was some one In the room,
though neither of them heeded till the
girl's name was spoken by the new
comer. "Jack!" she cried out, and clung the
closer to her father; "Jack!"
"You did not hear me knock." said he.
"I came to tell you that I refuse to obey
your note; you love uie as I love you.

Her father's head was raised, and he
looked deeply Into the young man's
eyes.
"Well, well," said the hustling voice
of the wife, coming into the library.
