"Something to do; for 1 bare neither

Hilly compiled, and w hen ho apoko of
hit on th'e town (ieorgo repented It after
blin. (tying: "I have aomt aequaliitnnrca
who upend tht auuiniitr In Cbieopee; but
you prolmlily hart never known them."
Immediately Hilly thought of the Lin
coln , and now knew why the nnmo of
Hidden teemed to familiar. lit bad heard
Jenny anak of Ida, and felt certahVtbat
It. J. Hidden waa her father.
For a moment (ieorgo regarded hi in In
tently, and then aald: "Wt leldom em
ploy atrangera without a roamitiituda
tlon; ttltl, I do not believe you inn'd any.
My unelu U wanting n young man, but
the work may hardly ault you," ho added,
naming the duties lie would be expected
to perform, which certainly were rather
menial. Htill, at tho wage were lilienil,
Hilly for want of a better, accepted tho
altuatlon, and waa Immediately Introduc
ed to hit bunlneta. 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.

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

CLEAN-UP IN FULL SWING.
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

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.
Sentence Commuted.
Denver, June 10. The state board

Telescope Mirror Broken.
Pittsburg, June 8. A great 36
inch mirror belonging to a Newtonian
reflecting telescope at Lick observa

long projected exposition of the Lick
observatory into the southern hemi
sphere will have ' to be postponed
Professor Brashear will make a new
glass for the Lick scientists, but the

Seattle, June 11. The annual voy-'
age of a government ship to Siberia
after reindeer, according to Dr. Shel
den Jackson, who left for the north
on the transport Warren today, has
been abandoned for the season.
Leutenant Berthoff, who crossed Rus
sia and Siberia last year to gather a
herd of deer, will be left to get along '
as best he can nntil a year from the
coming July. Dr. Jackson thinks
Berthoff may starve to death or perish

off. He is likely to be left all
alone, and to his own personal efforts
for subsistence throughout next win
ter, as there are few natives where he
will be. It will be impossible to at
tempt to rescue him until after next
June, as the ice will permit no ap
proach to the coast.
