For aomo time he only taw George at a dUtnu, but waa told by one of tht rlerka that ho wat juat graduated at Yale, and waa now a junior partner in bit unclo't etnblinh . uient. "We all likt him very much," aald the clerk, "ho la ao pleaaant and kind, though a little proud, 1 gucaa." This waa all that Hilly knew of him un til ha bad been in Mr. Belden'a employ meut nearly three weeks; then, at lit waa ont day poring orer a volume of Horace which he bad brought with him, George, who chuueed to pans by, looked over lilt thoitlder, exclaiming, "Why, ltcnder, can you rend LntiuT Iteally, this in a nov elty. Are you fond of books?" "Yea, very," aald Hilly, "though I have but a few of my own." "Fortunately, then, I can accommodate yon," returned George, "for I have a tol erably good library, to which you can at any time have acceaa. Suppose you come round to my uncle's to-night. Never mind about -thanking, me," he added, at he aaw Hilly about to speak; "I hate to Imi thanked, ao to-night, at eight o'clock, I ahull expect you." Accordingly, that evening Billy started for Mr. Helden't. George, who wished to save him from any embarrassment, an awered bla ring himself, and immediately conducted hliu to his room, where for an hour or to they discussed their favorite books and authors. At last, George, as tonished at Hllly's general knowledge of men and things, exclaimed, "Why, Ben der, I do believe you are almost as good a scholar as I, who have been through college. Pray, how does it happen?" In a few words Billy explained that he had been In the habit of workiug sum mers and going to school at Wilbraham winters; and tuqni as It was nenrly ten, he hastily gathered up the books which George bad kindly loaned him and took bis leave. As he was, descending the broad stairway he met a young girl fash ionably dressed, who atarcd at him in some surprise. In the upper hall she en countered George, and asked him who the stranger was. "Ills name Is Bender and he came from Chicopec," answered George. "Bender from Chlcopoe!" repented Idn. "Why, I wonder if it Isn't the Billy Ben der about whom Jenny Lincoln has gone almost mad." "I think not," returned her cousin, "for Mrs. Lincoln would hardly suffer her daughter to mention a poor boy's name, much less to go mad about him." "Bat," answered Ida, "he worked on Mr. Lincoln's farm when Jenny was a little girl; and now that she Is older she talks of him nearly all the time, add Host says it would not surprise her If she should some day run off with him." "Possibly It Is the same," returned George. "Anyway, he Is very fine look ing, and a flue fellow, too, besides being an excellent scholar." Tne next day, when Billy chanced to be alone, George approached him, and after making some casual remarks about the books bo had borrowed, etc., lie said, "Did you ever see Jenny Lincoln In Chic opee?" "Oh, yes," answered Billy, brightening tip, for Jenny had alwi ys been, and still was, a great favorite with him; "Oh, ye I know Jenny ve well. I worked for her father soma years ago, and bo ra me greatly Interested In bur." "Indeed? Then you must know Hen ry Lincoln?" "Yea, I know him." aald Billy; whllt George continued:' "And think but llttlt of Liui, . of course f . Ou tbl subject Billy waa non-committal, lit had no cause for liking Henry, but would not aay so to a comparative stranger. George was about moving away when, observing a little, old-faahloued book lying upon ont of the boxes, he took it up and, turning to the fly-leaf, read tho name of "Frank Howard." "Frank Howard! Frank Howard!" ht repeated; "whert havo I heard that name? Who ia he, Bender?" "Ht waa a llttlt Fnglisb boy I once loved very much; but he is dead now,"ao awered Billy; and George, with a sud denly awakened curlotdty, said: "Tell ma about him and hit family, will you?" Without dreaming that George had ever seen them, Billy told tho story of Frank's sicklies and death of the noble conduct of hia llttlt aUter, who, when there was no other alternative, went cheerfully to tht poorhotme, winning by her gentle ways the love of those unused to love, and taming the wild wood of a maniac until she waa harulless as a child. A he proceeded with bit atory George beenmt each moment niort and more in terested, and when at last thert waa a pause, be asked, "And Is Mary lu tht poorhoiist now?" "I have not mentioned ber name, and pray how cama you to know it?" aald Billy lu some surprise. In a few words George related the par tlculara of hi acquaintance with tht Howards and then again asked where both Mary and Klla were. Billy replied that for a few years back Mary had lived with a Mr. Mason, while Kits, at the time of her uiother'a death, had been adopted by Mra. Camp boll. "But," tald he. "I never thiuk of Klla lu connection with Mary, they are so unlike; Ella la proud and vain and silly, and treats ber sister with the utmost rudeness, though Mary i far more agree able and Intelligent, and as I think tho best looking." "She must have changed very much," answered George, "for If I remember rightly she wss not remarkable for per sonal beauty." He was going to say more, when some one slapped him rudely on tho shoulder, calling out. "How are you, old feller, and what la there in Boston to interest such a scapegrace as I am?" Ixioklug up, Billy saw before him Hen ry Lincoln, exquisitely dressed, but bear ing in bis appearance evident marks of dissipation. "Why, Henry," exclaimed George, "bow came you here? I supposed you were drawing lampblack caricatures of some one of the tutor iu old Yale. What's the matter? What have you been doing?" "Why, you see," answered Henry, drawing his cigar from his mouth, "one of the sophs got his arm broken In a row, and as 1 am so tender-hearted, and couldn't bear to hear him groan, tho fac ulty kindly advised me to leave, and scut ou before me a recommendation to the old man. But I fixed 'em. I told 'em he was In Boston, whereas he's In Chlcopoe, so I just took the letter from the otttce myself. It read beautifully. Do you understand?" All tbl time Henry had apparently taken no notice of Billy, whom George now introduced, saylug ht believed they were old acquaintances. With the cool est effrontery Henry took from his pocket a qiflzsing glass, and, applying it to his eye, said, "I've absolutely studied until I'm near-sighted. How long have the old folks been in Chlcopoe?" "Severul weeks, I think," answered George; and then, either because he want ed to hear what Henry would say, or because of a reawakened Interest In Mary howard, ho continued, "By the way, Henry, when you came ao unceremoni ously upon us, we were speaking of a young girl In Chicopee whom you have perhaps ferreted out ere this, as Beu der says she is fine looking." Henry stroked his whiskers, which had recelxed far more cultivation than his brains, stuck bis hat on one side and answered, "Why, yes, I suppose that in my way I was something of a b'hoy with tho fair sex," but really I do not now think of more than one handsome girl in Chlcopeo, and that is Ella Campbell, but she is young yet, not as old as Jenny altogether too small fry for Henry Lin coln, Esq. But who Is the girl?" Billy frowned, for be held Mary's name ns too sacred to be breathed by a young man of Henry Lincoln's character, while George replied: "Her name is Mary Howard." "What, the pauper?" asked Henry, looking significantly at Billy, who replied: "The same, sir." "Whew-wl" whistled Heury, prolong ing the diphthong to an unusual length. "Why, she's got two teeth at least a foot long, and her face looks as though she had just been in the vinegar barrel and didn't liko the taste of it." "But, wjthout joking, though, how doet she look?" asked George; while Billy made a movement as if he would help the insolent puppy to find his level. "Well, now, old boy," returned Henry, "I'll tell you honestly that the last time I saw her I was surprised to Uud how much she was Improved. She has swal lowed those abominable teeth, or dono something with them, and is really quite decent looking." So saying ho took his leave, just then there was a call for Mr. Morcliiud, who also departed, leaving Billy alone. "It Is very strange that she never told me she knew him," thought he; and then tak ing from his pocket a neatly folded letter, he again read it through. But there waa nothing In it about George, except the simple words, "I am glad you have found afrlcnd In Mr. Moreland. I am sure I should like him, just because he is kind to you." "Tea, she's forgotten hltn," sold Bill, and that belief gave lilm secret satisfac tion. II bad known Mary long, and Hit Interest ho had felt in ber when a homely, neglected child, bad not In tht least decreased as tht lapse of tlmt grad ually ripened her Into a fine, Intelligent looking girl Jit was to ber a brother still, but tht to blin was dearer far than a sister; and though in hi letter ht al ways addressed her a such, la bis heart ht claimed her a something nearer, and yet ht bad never breathed in her ear a word of lovt or hinted that It was for her stkt Its toiled both early and latt, hoard lug up his earning with almost a miter's csrt that sht might bt educated. Itegularly each week she wrott to bltn, and it was tht receipt of these letter and the thought of ber that kept hia heart so bravt and cheerful, as, alona and unappreciated, except by Georgt, ht worked ou, dreaming of a bright fuiurt when tht ont great object of his lift should bt realised. (I'o bo continued.) CAREOF THE EYES. Much Trouble and BnlrtHiig May Kaallr i t Avoiilt t. Nowhere la the comparison between an ounce of prevention and a pound of cure more applicable than In the care of the vyvt; for the ueglect of seeming ly trivial affections, perfectly curable lu tbelr beginnings, may lead la an In credibly abort time to permanent Im pairment of vision, or even to total blindness. The core of the eyes should begin with the moment of birth. The new baby's eye should be the first part to receive atteutlon. They should be wiped carefully with a piece of ab sorbent cotton wet with a warm solu tion of boric ncld, of a strength , of about sixty grains lu four ounces of distilled water. After the lids have beeu thus carefully washed on the out side they should be. gently separated and some of the solution dropped Into the eyes. In washing the eyes one should be careful never to dip agalu In the solu tion a piece of cottou which has once been used; a fresh piece must be taken end! time the eyes arc wiped. The baby's eyes must be protected from the light; Its crib should be pluced where the eye are not exposed to the full light from a window, iiud the car riage should have n shade raised only about a foot nlnive the baby's head. Children often suffer from Inflamma tion of the (slues of the lids, which are red and scaly, and the lashes fall out and break off. This may betoken a general scrofulous condition, or It may dcHMid upon some defect lu the Sight which causes eye-stralu. or It may be only n Uk-uI trouble. If It Is only a local trouble, a few applications of boric acid ointment at bedtfuie will gener ally effect a cure. Conjunctivitis, or InflHiuiiintlon of the membrane covering the globe of the eye, may be due to a cold, to the action of bright sunlight or reflection from water or from snow, or to eye-strain from some visual imierfectlon. Usu ally the borle acid solution will give relief here, even when the trouble can not be iH'rmnnently cured until proper glasses are worn. Another painful consequence of eye stralu is n succession of sties. When a child suffers frequently from sties, from sore lids, or from conjunctivitis, the sight should be tested. Much harm Is often done to the eyes, ns well as to the general health, by too long application to books, either school or story-books. Three hours of looking at print by daylight and one hour In the evening, should not be ex ceeded by any child under 14, for that Is as much as his eyes, even If their vision Is perfectly normal, will stand without Injury. Youth's Companion. The Pickles Test. There had been an epidemic of mumps lu Denver, and every afternoon brought to the health department a number of children seeking permission to return to school. Sometimes no doc tor wns present, and they had to wait So, says the Republican, Dr. Carlln de vised a menus by which his secretary, Miss Currlgnn, might test the appli cants. "Pickles are the thing." said Dr. Car lln. "If a person with the slightest trace of Intlnmmntlou iu the thyroid glands takes a bite of anything sharply sour, (he face Is Instantly contorted. In extreme cases the palu Is extreme." So a bottle of mixed pickles was add ed to the pharmacopoeia of the office. Now, when there Is no doctor In the office, Miss Currlgnn Hues up the appli cants for certificates and goes dow;n the line with the bottle of pickles. If the child takes the pickle and smiles ns a healthy child should, he may go back to school again; but If he scowls In pnln he is condemned to stay at home. Decidedly the Reverse. Uncle Wellington de Bergh. a retired English merchant, who occasionally came to visit his relatives In this coun try, was au enthusiastic bicyclist, not withstanding his age, which wns over seventy. Ills other passions wa a fondness for Walker's Dictionary, which, he maintained, wns superior to all others, of whatever date, and he seemed to know It by heart. "Your uncle," said a caller one day, "appears to be a walking cyclopedia." "On; the contrary," responded one of Uncle Wellington's American nieces, "he's a cycling Wnlkerpedia.'.' . Her Supposition. "Did you sny you took a stall at the theater while you were In London?" asked Miss Cayenne. "Yes." answered the young man who wss airing his forelgnlsms. "I suppose," she proceeded pensively, "that It must have been one of those recent productions thnt the cj'ltlcs con detuned for their horseplay." Wash ington Star.

Klondike Gold Pturinj Intt Dawte at the Rat f 140,000 Per Day. Dawson, May 21, via Seattle, June 8. The spring clean up is in full wing in all parts of the Klondike camp. Millions of dollars' worth of the precious dust has been washed from the mountain-like dumps of pay dirt that were taken out by the army of toiling miners through the long, weary winter month. Within a month 13,000,000 or 14,000,000 more will have been taken out and the washing of the winter dumps will be finished. The spring clearvnp of the camp is estimated at f 15,000,000, and the summer output at $10,000,000. The dust is coming into Dawson at the rate of $30,000 to $40,000 a day. After two or three weeks the roada will be drier and it will flow in at a heavier rate. The two banks at Daw son are busier than they have been fc months buying or receiving the dust for storage. The bjg trading companies are receiving a great deal of dust in payment for goods advanced to miners during the winter. The camp is in a flourishing condition, and everywhere good feeling prevails. The first shipments of dust of any consequence to tie outside will per haps not start for a week or two, or until the river is at a more steady stage and the boats run more regu larly. However, there will be a rush of people out by the first boats, and all will carry more or less of the precious product. The work of washing up is in pro gress on all the creeks, and all are seeding in dust. Some of the more remote creeks are not sending much yet. because of the muddy condition of the roads or trails. Some of the trails are almost impassable for even the pack animals. What gold is sent from Gold Run, Hunker, Domin ion, Sulphur, Eureka, Quartz, Last Chance, Gold Bottom and others of tb outside creeks comes by horse back.

' CUBANS MAY REPENT. Administration Hopeful That It Will Accept Ammendment. "Washington, June 10. -The cabi net was in session over two hours today discussing the Cuban and Philippine situations A communi cation has been received from Gover nor General Wood in regard to the prospect for the unconditional accept ance of the Piatt amendment, but its contents are not made public. It can be stated, however, that there is a hopeful feeling in administrative circles that after the first soreness wears off the convention will see the wisdom of accepting the terms of the amendment. The answer to Gen eral Wood to be sent and the language of the communication was" under consideration today. Meanwhile the status in Cuba is to be maintained. No action looking to the calling of another convention is contemplated if the present convention should de cline to accede to our terms. The program looking to the estab lishment of civil government. in the Philippines is being formulated in the shape of an order which is to be promulgated shortly. It is said that there is no definite conclusion as to whether the powers of the civil ad ministration willlie exercised under the general war powers of the presi dent or the power vested in him by the Spooner amendment. That, how ever, is considered a matter of detail. The main point is that the civil ad mnistration, which will be confined largely to the municipalities, will be vested in the head of the Taft com mission and such other officials as may lie designated, and that they will exercise their functions subject to the direct authority of the secre tary of war, to whom all reports will be made. Civil administration un der, military supervision, such as is contemplated, is said not to be anom alous, and the civil government in New Mexico and che Southern states during the early stages of the recon struction period re pointed to as be ing substantially anaiogus to what is proposed in the Philippines.
