Cllve met his cousin Ethel nt a party
or two In the ensuing weeks of the
season, and nt one of their meetings
t:tlul told him that hor grandmother
would not receive hi in. If was (hen
Hint Cllve thought Elhel worldly, al
though much of her attitude was due
lo the keen nnd unrelenting Lady
Kow. The colonel and James Blnnle
during all this time put their two fond
heads together, and Mrs. Mackenzie
I'liiii'ii'd hoih of them and Cllve as
it'iimvhile the Lady Clara ms not
happy with her llornea. All I he life
and spirit had been crunhed out of the
girl, consigned lo cruel usniie, lone
llneaa, and lo bitter rerolleeiiona of
the past. Jack IMslte, now Lord
lllfliunic, could sliiud Ihu itinln no
longer, and look Lofly Clara away
from her bullying but coiianlly hus
band, The elopement of Clara open
ed Kllml'i eyes to the misery of love
lesi morrluiii a, and Iba mninma of bur
new love, Hie Mnrqiila of Knrliilonh,
airenuy umtreiseo over I lie unpleas
ant notoriety of the proposed New
coma alliance, reeelved a letter from
Elhel which art her son free.
Elhel I hen turned to the lonely,
motherless children of her brother
Barnes, and found comfort In devoting
herself lo them. Cllve married his
Uosey, and hla futher determined to
become a member of parliament In
place of Hlr llnroea. One night the
colonel, returning frr.m tils election'
eerlng, mei Cllve, candle in hand. As
each saw the other'i fnco. It waa io
very and and worn and pale, that Col
onel Newcoine with quite the lender
ness of old dnya, cried "Uml bless me,
my boy, how III you look I Coma and
warm yourself, Cllvyl"
"I have wen a ghost, folher," Cllve
said, "the ghost of my youth, father,
the ghost of my hnppliii'ss, and the
best days of my life, I saw Ethel to
day." "Nsy, niy boy, you mustn't talk to
me so, You huve the dearest little
wife at home, a dear little wife and
child."
"You hail a wife; but (lint doesn't
prevent o: her other thoughts. Do
you know you never spoke twice In
your life about my mother? You didn't
care for hr."
"J I did my duty by her," Inter
posed the colonel.
"I know, but your heart was with
the other, So la mine. It's fatal, It
runs In the family, father."
Tha shares of the Bundelcund Bank
ing company In which the colonel had
made hli fortune now declined stead
ily, and at lust the crash cama, wiping
out all the colonel's money and with
It all Itusey's fortune. The Im
poverished Newcomes settled down
first at Boulogne, and then In London,
tha colonel weary, feeble, while hair
ed, Mra. Mackenzie a perfect ter
magant, Itosey pule and ailing, nnd
little Tommy, the baby, a comfort
and a care to the hard-worked Cllve.
Tho colonel, no longer able to live
under the same roof with Mrs. Mac
kenzie, found a homo with the Orey
Friars, and here I saw hiiu.
When the colonel's misfortunes were
at their worst, Ethel In reading an old
book, found a letter from the colonel's
stepmother between the covers. It
was a memorandum of a proposed be
quest to Cllve. Ethel nt once deter
mined to carry out this lutended be
quest, and so she and I hastened tu
Olive's homo; but not even good news
could soften Mrs. Mackenzie's evil
temper. That was a snd and, wretch
oil night, In which Mrs. Mackenzie
stormed until the poor dellcnle Itosey
fell Into the fever to which she owed
her death. We soon repaired lo the
Orey Friars where wo found Hint the
colonel was In hla Inst Illness, lie
talked loudly, he guvo the word of
commond, spoko Hlnduslanee us If to
his men, Then he woke words In
French rapidly, seizing a hand that
was near lilm, and crying,, "toujour,
toujour I" Ethel and Clivo and the
nurse were In tho room with him, The
old man talked on rapidly for awhile;
then again ho would sigh and be still ;
once more I heard him say, hurried
ly, "Take enre of him when I'm In
India ;" and then with a heart-rending
voice he called for the love of hi
youth "Lconore, Leonorel" The pa-1
tlcnt'a voice sank Into faint murmurs;
only a moan now and then announced
that he wna not asleep.
At the usual evening hour the chnpel
hell began to toll, and Thomas Now
come' hands outside tho bed feebly
best a time, And just a the Inst bell
struck, a peculiar Bweet snillo shone
over hi face, and he lifted np his
hoad little, and quickly said, "Ad
sum," and fell back, It was the word
wo used nt school, when names were
called ; and lo, he whose heart was as
that of a little child, bad answered to
his name, and stood In the presence of
the Master.

TEN years ago you might
have seen one or two
automobiles waiting outside
the station, when the weather
was pleasant.
Today the square is crowd
ed with them. And most of
the cars you generally see
there arejmoderate-pric tears.
Anybody who tells you that
owners of moderate-price
cars are not interested in the
quality of their tires has
never met very many of
them.
We come in contact with
the small car owner every
day and we have found that
he is just as much interested
as the big car owner.
Iff
There is one tire, at least,
that makes no distinction
between small cars and large
cars so far as quality is con
cernedthe U. S.Tire.
Every U. S. Tire is just
like every other in quality
the best its builders know
how to build.
Whatever the size of your
car, the service you get out
of U. S. Tires is the aam.
It isn't the car, but the man
who owns the car, that sets
the standard to which U. S.
tires are made.
iv ;
We feel the same way
about it That's why we
represent U. S. Tires in this
community.
