"I am no worshiper of money, Mr.
Ren.wick. -: There aro things I would
lay down millions to gain if I had them
to command. ' After father died I had
my old mother to care for, and, thank
God, I have been able to place her in a
good home and provide for her a happy
old age. I had my young sisters to edu
cate and my brother to establish in life,
and there .were other poor relatives a
pair of aged aunts and (in old decrepit
uncle. I.cpnld not let them go to the
almshouse. It was my first duty to take
care of those dependent on me."
"Very commendable no doubt, vety
.commendable,' said the old man from
the surface of his false teeth end laying
together his chilly fiiiRer tips. . But he
had gone into his shell and did not
emerge again that day.
Judith flitted out of the room after
placing the glass of antumn leaves and
red berries in the middle of the table.
She had folded under the frayed edges
of the tablecloth and placed a napkin
over a hole too much in evidence. Mrs.
Sparkler had now brought the basket of
dinner, smoking hot, to the back door,
and swiftly Judith conveyed it to the
board. Old Ken wick took the place at
the head of the table, waving Mildmay
to a seat at his right hand. Judith sat
down behind the tray, but ate nothing.
She waited on the gnest and on her
father with pnnctilious care.
' "Boiled beef," said the old man loftily.
Sticking his knife into the tender pnlp
on the platter before him. "I told yon,
sir, it was pot luck, only pot luck to
day. In my father's time, sir, the cellar
of this house was well stocked with
wine good, sound brands of port and
Madeira bnt I was forced to give np the
use of wine front my gouty tendencies
some years ago, and I hope, sir, yon will
pardon the omission."
Mildmay saw Judith f.u-th a little as
the old gentleman proceeded to draw
the long bow, and he made haste to ac
quit himself in a suitable manner as he
raised a cracked glass to his lips con
taining nothing more potent than water
from the old Renwick well. He looked
'about without seeming to notice any
thing. At the meager table service, the
makeshifts of the frayed tablecloth, the
old caster propped on three legs, the
battered spoons, thin as shaved horn,
and the ragged napkins all told a piti
ful story to a man of quick perceptions,
bnt Judith 'sat opposite. He saw her
face framed in golden hair over Mrs.
Sparkler's tin coffeepot, and the feast
of a king wreathed with rainbows could
not have been more beautiful in his
eyes. '.;
: Renwick was cased in frigid civility
pn in a coat of mail. Secretly he re
gretted having asked Mildmay to din
cer, now that he had discovered that he
was a mere nobody," not worth wasting
his notice upon. He pressed his thiu
lips, lifted his arched eyebrows and
looked discontented and unhappy.
But a current of sympathy had estab
lished itself between Judith's blue eyes
and MUdmay'a hazel orbs. cvemed to
Mildmay like fizf crossing lines of
light with electrii vibrations. He un
derstood." all the dimcnlties and humilia
tions of her life without an explanatory
word, Egjover knew what he put into
his month at that dinner, but strangely
enough, even "while Judith tripped
around - the table changing the old
cracked plates and Renwick remained
sank is himself, a stream of merry talk
seemed to sow between them. Mild
may was to her girlish apprehension the
most unassuming and natural of men,
and she had lived so long with preten
sion aud unreality that naturalness was
cf all things delightful to her.
W hen this meal as miraculously pro
Tided as if brought by ravens or angels
was finished, Mildmav, strangely enough.
displayedsuo disposition to take himself
away. Old Renwick, as usual after din
ner, had betaken himself to his place by
the fire in his great shabby easy chair
and had Iignted his long stemmed pipe,
Judith and the stranger sat in another
part of the large room, where the low
afternoon sun came in through the win
dow and touched his blond head and
her golden one. She was sewing fast
and deftly on a piece of needlework she
had taken from the Ladies' Aid society
in the hope of earning a few shillings
for her pressing needs. Mildmay sat and
watched her for awhile, saying a word
or two now and again in a low voice.
When the old man's regular breathing
came to his ear, interrupted occasion
ally by short, brusque snores, Mildmay
leaned over toward Judith and said con
fidentially:
"I am afraid I have fallen out of favot
with your father. He seems to be less
cordial than at first. -
Judith without raising her head gave
him a reproachful little glance out of
the corner of her eye.
"Why could you not pretend to be
descended from Sir Bruce Mildmay?
Yon might have belonged to a remote
branch, bnt still distinctly of that house,
with the Pfantagenet quarterings in
your coat of anus."--
"By heavens, Miss Renwick, if I had
only known," exclaimed Milmay,
wonld have sworn on the good book that
Sir Bruce was my revered great ancestor;
that I have his rusty coat of arms, bis
shield and battleaz at this moment hnng
up in the baronial ball, and I wonld have
forged yards of parchment to prove my
claims.
' "For an inventive man." said Judith,
with a shy smile, "who had . cleared an
abandoned mine of water by improved
machinery, yon aid appear to me singu
larly wanting."
"What pan I do to win yonr forgiver
ness for my stupidity," he asked, still
gazing in her laco. '
' "I don't know," she answered, with a
suppressed sigh, "it may prove a more
serious matter to as than yon think.
f atner has old time notions deeply In
grained, and I fear he is growing some
what childish. . If he thought yon be

With business habits and has been sadly
taken in by speculators, and now if he
thought you belonged to that class he
would refuse to sell the western land,
and we do so need' the money, ; I can't
jnake him understand how poor we are.!?
The last words were given in a thrilling
whisper. ' - ''
' Mildmay ' felt that this young girl
had made a direct appeal to him for
neip in ner iron Die. ne coiorea and
looked embarrassed, and for a moment
remained silent
Judith drew back ashamed and aston
ished at herself for having betrayed so
much to a total stranger. She sat there
covered with confusion, unable to speak
or attempt an explanation, whon a
confused sound of feet was heard invad
ing the kitchen, and in a moment the
door burst open, and Mrs. Sparkler ap
peared, followed "by her husband with
Sally in his arms, and Frne holding on
to the tail of his .coat. The children
were tattered and torn, hands and faces
quite black with dirt, and hair in a wild
tangle.
CHAPTER IV.
"I have convinced father."
"We've got 'em back at lnstr cried
Mrs. Sparkler excitedlv, not caring for
the presence cf the stranger or even old
Reuwick himself, while Sparkler, who
on all occasions allowed his wife to be
spokesman, hung bark by the dooi.
They d started to seek their fortunes.
just like Tommy Sawyer in the story
book. They bad five cents atween cm,
and they went to the bakery end bought
eix cookies to provide for the journey.
Then they footed it down the railroad
track, and the wonder is they wasn t
run down by a train. Prue got over into
Beecham woods aud Sally went tagging
after. They got into a swamp, and Sally
lost one cf her shoes, and her hat flew
up in a tree. Pruc shiuncd up the tree
and got the hat, but it was all torn to
shoestrings.
"At last they worked their way out of
the woods at a place called Ford's Cor
ners, about seven miles from hero. I
guess they was pretty faint and hungry
and beat out by the time they got there,
for they stepped at Dr. Cook man's house
and asked for a drink, and if they could
lay down and rest in the barn, just as
Tommy Sawyer did on his travels. And
the doctor happened to be at home, snd
he kind of smelt a mouse, so he wormed
it out of them who thev was and where
they lived, and then he hitched up his
horse and brought 'em home."
Mrs. Sparkler had given her narrative
in a breathless way, without semicolons
or even commas, and old Renwick was
now fully awake, eying ht-r with cold
disapprobation.
"What is it all about, my good wom
an?' he said sharply when be could stem
the torrent of her speech.
'Good woman indeed, sir," cried Mrs.
Sparkler, spunking np. "It's about them
children. I wonld have Sparkler bring
Vm over to Fhow Miss Renwick what a
iness they an; lu,'-.'! to ask her if they
shouldn't be soundly- spanked."
- "Spnnk them, by jdl , means, . Mrs.
Sparkler, but don't perform the oper
ation here on my premises."
"Sparkler is that t-nder hearted he
won't let me, but I thought Miss Reu
wick would tell me what ought to be
done short of spankin or switchin, for
she's been tenchin the children these few
months past and they've learned real
well."
"My daughter teaching your children,
Mrs. Sparklcrr
"Yes, sir. tho has, and they think a
sight of her, too, if they are nanghty
sometimes; and that reminds me that
I'm owing for a fjuarter's tuition," and
she pulled a little roll of bills out of her
pocket.
Old Renwick stood up and hanghtily
waved her away. "My good woman,
my daughter cannot take money for any
instruction she may have given your
children. If she has done it at all sho
has done it ont cf kindness to a poor
neighbor. Keep your money, madam."
"We ain't poor neighbors," cried Mrs.
Sparkler, raising her voice to the point
of shrillness; "we're respectable, honest
and well to do, and we pay onr ways,
which is more than some folks do that
are dirty proud. If you knew where
your dinner come from this very day I
guess yon wouldn't talk about poor
neighbors."
Judith, with an agitated, beseeching
face, now camo forward and laid her
hand on the woman's arm. "Remem
ber," she whispered, "he is a helpless
old man." Sparkler, on the other side,
was twitching his wife's skirt and say
ing: "Come home, Marier. We ain't
wanted here," and suddenly the little
procession turned about, Mrs. Sparklet
convulsed with angry sobs, and filed out
of the house.
Mildmay caw that Judith was pale
and agitated, her eyes f nil of tears, and
he made haste to take his leave. "You
will let me come again," he whispered
as he pressed her hand at tho door. "I
shall be detained here a few days until
I have come to terms with yonr fathet
about the land."
The events of the day had not dis
turbed old Renwick. He was too close
ly wrapped in his tattered pride and sell
importance to feel their f nil force. It
was his plan to avoid scenes and explana
tions with Judith as far as possible. In
tho first place, he looked upon her as a
child, and in the second place, he had
nothing to oppose to her logic but sheet
obstinacy. When things went too fat
he was always conveniently deaf. Foi
three or four days now the old hidalgo
was terribly hard of hearing and misin
terpreted everything his daughter said.
He went as usual to the library, and nte
his potatoes and oatmeal without re
mark. But as Mildmay continued to
linger on in the town there grew up in
the old man's mind the suspicion that he
was a sharper trying to get the best of
the bargain. He conceived an exagger
ated notion of the value of these acres
of sand and scrub oak, which happened
to be near a railway station or a branch
line, and were wanted for tho company's
workshops. Though Mildmay offered
him ten times the actual value of the
land, the old man stubbornly refused to
sell and curtly dismissed the young man
from his presence.
Meantime he was as regular as clock
work in his appearance in the alcove,
where he sat day after day poring over
the histories of great and nobje families
..1 '
and making notes lit his tittle diary. "
In spite of the hopelessness of his un
dertaking, Mr. Harry. Mildmay still
lingered at the hotel, and strangely
enough soon after the old nian was well
out of the honse in the morning he ap
peared regularly at the door of the Ren
wick homestead. Tho neighbors began
to notice the phenomenon, and questions
were asked about the young man that
no one seemed able to answer.
Judith had no teaching now, nothing
but dull and unremunerative needle
work to fill the vacant hours, and her
days would have been sad and lonely
bnt for tho visits of this new friend.
They seemed to have a thonsand tilings
to say to each other, as people always
have who are bound by a secret sym
pathy. He was never tired of telling
her stories of his early life, his poor
chnnces, how much he had loved his
eccentric and unlucky father, with that
strain of genius in him. All the trials
and hardships of his boyhood were
sweetened by family affection. He
wished her to know his old mother and
his sisters and talked endlessly of them,
but strange to say, of his later experience
he had but little to relate; over these he
seemed to draw a veil and Judith did
not seek to raise it. She was deeply in
terested in all he had to tell. It was a
joy to Judith to make acquaintance with
Mildmay as a boy and to perceive that
he was still what he hud beeu then
loving, unostentatious, gennino to the
core. It never occurred to her to ask
who he was. She thought she knew him
better than others could know him, sad
why should she ask?
The Indian summer came on more
rolden and tranquil than usual, and then
the neighbors saw Jndith and the young
It ranger walking out togothor toward
ton u try places, rustliug the fallen leaves
under their feet, and returning with
bands full of the late autumn blossoms
Uid colored leaves.
It was after an excursion of this kind,
when Judith had returned home filled
Willi strange, sweet, agitating emotions,
for something very wonderful had hap
(lened that day, that Mrs. Sparkler came
running to the kitchen door with an
ipron over her head. Miss Renwick
was kindling a fire in the stove to pre
fire the evening meal and was some
what surprised to see her neighbor who
had fought very shy of the place ever
since that painful interview with the
old roau.
"Miss Renwick," she exclaimed, all
out of breath, and seeing Judith there
ou her knees by the stove, "Do you know
who your Mr. Mildmay isT'
Judith turned her head and just shook
it gently without venturing upon a word.
"Well, lean tell you," she went on,
panting. "It's all over town now. He's
the millionaire of Arizouy. Owns lots
of mines and two or three railroads.
They say he could buy up the whole of
this little town and put it in his pocket.
And to think. Miss Renwick, that you've
been keepin company with him and never
knew he was the biggest man in all his
part of the country;'
Judith blushed prettily as she rose to
her feet and faced her visitor. She said
she was Yery much obliged to Mrs.
Sparkler. It was really neighborly
and kind of her to take so much pains to
let her know atnt the young man, and
Mrs. Sparkler went homo more mystified
than ever.
It was the very next morning that old
Renwick happened to meet Mildmay in
the street not far from his house. As he
had gives Eimtyilnhiryfnsai of ths
laud nearly a week Before, tho old hi
dalgo was rather surprised to see the
young man on his path.
"Mr. Renwick," said he, looking at
him frankly with his brown eyes full of
cheery light, "I am here to ask yea for
the hand of your daughter Judith."
"Of my what?" said the old man, pre
tending deafness, and patting up his
hand in the form of an ear trumpet.
"The hand of your danghter Judith,"
repeated Mildmay.
"Xo, sir; no, sir." said the old man,
straightening. "That is too presump
tuous in a person of your birth and breed
ing. I suspected you were an adventurer,
and now I see yon have laid a deep plot
to secure my property through tho hand
of my daughter. But were it otherwise
I would never consent to her marrying
out of her sphere. You hare my an
swer, sir: good day."
Mildmay stood on the walk while the
old man walked stiffly away with head
held high. His face was crimson and
his hands were clinched in wrath. He
began to stride rapidly np and down the
pavement, mnttering under his breath;
"The proud old beggar. As if I had in
tended designs on his property," and
then he broke into a hearty laugh.
Judith must have been on the watch
for her father, for the moment he opened
the door she Sow to him weeping, clasped
her arms around his neck and cried:
"Oh, father, you cannot know the miser
able state of poverty, misery and desti
tution to which we are reduced! I have
tried not to trouble you with these things,
tried to earn a little money secretly for
our needs, but you refused to let me
rent part of the house; you refused to
let me take pupils and recsive pay for
them. You mortally offended those
good Sparklers when they offered me
my pay, and there was nothing I could
do to earn money bnt to secretly take in
sewing from the Ladies' Aid society, and
now they have no more to give me.
Come with me, father, and let me show
you to what we are reduced."
, She led bim into the kitchen and
opened one by one the cupboards, the
pantry, the safe, the flour barrel and
the bread box all empty, not an ounce
of meal or a pound of potatoes. Then
she led him to the coalbin and the place
where the wood was kept. That, too,
was empty.
"You see, father," she said sobbing,
"we must go to the almshouse or live
on the charity of the town the silent
poor fund. Which shall it be?"
The old man turned without a word,
wandered back into the living room and
fell prostrate into his chair. He seemed
dazed and lost for a time, and looked
about him with a wandering eye. When
he tried to speak his tongue was thick,
as if he had received a slight stroke
of palsy. Judith in fright knelt
down beside him and began to
chafe his cold, tremulous hands. ' She
heard him murmuring the name of
Mildmay. "That young tmiii, you
know, Judith" he made an effort to
clear his voice "offered ' me ready
money for the western land, aud I re
fused it because 1 thought him a spec
ulator but tho money would keop us
from from Btarving. Do you think,
Judith, be has left town? Do you think
he would reconsider?'"
"He wonld not tako the land now,
father, unlets you cr-iif-wil' his ink
ing me."
"And you would marry him, Judith
a mere nobody, not of .our class?" said
the old man fretfully.
"You don't know him, father what
he has dnoe for himself and others be
cause be is too modest and unpretend
ing to boast of his success. He is the
great man in his part of the country
and the richest, a millionaire, they say,
and it is be who condescends to take a
penniless girl like me. He has done it
all by his own energy and genius. It is'
cot for his money I care, father. He
showed me what he was in heart and
mind before I suspected bis wealth?"
"You love him, Judith?"
"With all my heart."
"If he hud only been of the family of I
old Sir Bruce, the right Mildmays," i
murmured Ken wick; "but perhaps he is.
after all, without knowing it," the old
man went ou, brightening, "a collateral
branch, you know, Judith. Do you think
you could call him back? Could you
wnte or telegraph
"I will try," said she. "Perhaps I may
succeed." She ran to tho door, flung it
wide open and celled "Harryr with
her clear silvery voice.
The young man must have been am
bushed in the near neighborhood, for
suddenly he appeared, darting up the
steep path toward the house. Judith's
face was radiant as he came toward her
in answer to her summons.
"Come in," cried she, beckoning with
her hand. "I have convinced father
that you are at least an indirect offshoot
of the race of old Sir Bruce Mildmay
aud twice as good and noble as any
other Mildmay that ever lived, though
he bore a hnnilr! Plantagenet quarter
ings in 'llILJc 'heon."

L.
Intelligence, such a we find
planted and permeated in all our
public schools, give an impulse to
all the elevated and nobler senti
ments of the people, showing that
merit, virtue and character are but
the Hag leading to victory in a ma
terial 6enso precisely as christian
morality is sublime, because it is
the safest guide we can follow and
the best and wisest counsellor of
our highest private inte-est.
The people are looking to the
schools more for the moral and aes
thetic culture of the people. All
the great reforms that have been
inaugurated by the women are be
ing carried to success through the
schools in the education of the
children. Music has long been con
sidered one of the simplest and
most refining pleasures given to
man. Xo home, no social gather
ing, no public entertainment, no re
ligious meeting is complete without
music of voice snd instrument; and
you cannot find an Evangelist who
will not tell you emphatically that
he believes in its power to lead the
souls of men to higher thoughts.
If this is true in religious education
it must be true in all. If music of
are necessary Jfcomitants of
church ivorshTt'fiurch education ;
if all tlttsc have an elevating influ
ence on Sunday, why are they not
Jjust as valuable for every day use J
in the school room, 011 the school I
grounds, anywhere.
We believe in music, both of in
strument and voice; we -believe in
its moral, social, intellectual, patri
otic and religious influence; we have
been teaching it for twenty years
and know of its influence on school
and community. It is a part of
our school course and a part of its
pleasures; bringing teachers and
pupils into closer and friendlier re
lations; making both happier and
better, and our joyous school songs
have been carried into every home
of our community, doing their part
towards making these homes bright
and cheerful. We like to live in a
community whose citizens believe
in music of voice, orchestra and
band. Our social relations depend
much upon the influence of the pub
lic schools. Our society in a short
time will be what the boys and girls
are today as they are accom
plished, refined and intelligent, so
will be our intercourse. We are
doing our duty, "as we see it," to
cultivate every desirable tendency
to root out the undesirables. We
are working with sixteen boys two
nights in eaeh week, keeping them
off the streeU and developing a
taste for something better than
street loafing, and at the desire of
their parents. Who can find any
fault with that? In our isolated
condition we must depend upon
home talent, for recreation and
amusement and if re do not have
the best it is not for lack of ability.
If none of our people do nothing
worse than to cultivate the musical
taste of the people, encourage them
all you ean. j
Dr. Lestie says: "Show me a
musical people and I will show you
a moral, social, intellectual, patri
otic and religious people."
The new pupils this week are
Chas. Pcnninger, Ed. Hitch. Justin
Wigle, Alva Jordan, Geo. Mitchell
and Miss Maysie Foster.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.-'
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. . When this tuba
gets Inflamed you hove a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed Deafness is the re
sult, and unless the 2nflamation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be des
troyed forevr; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is noth
ing but an inflamad condition of the
mucous sulaces.
1 We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot ba cured by Hall's
. Catarrh Cure. Send forcirculars, reef,
