A DOCTOR'S MISSION "GtMiov," CHAPTER XXII. (Continued.) My peerless darling, would I need not tear you. But a very few weeks will reunite us, never again to be parted. Aa oon aa I return I shall wiot my wue. Bhall 1 hare her?" "Yes; Earle, my Earle, will you aurely be back by October fifth?" "Yen; positively. This la but the laat of August; I shall have plenty of time to reach here then. But what la to nap pen on that date?" "It will be my twenty-first birthday, nd then, aa I told you once, a package I hold is to be opened, and 1 shall learn my true name, and receive a small sum, enough for my support. Had you forgot ten this? Will the uncertainty of my re lationships cause any change In your feelings? My dear aunt assured ma there was nothing to ba ashamed of In my lam lly record." Ethel asked this Question with sud den timidity of foiling, a dread she could scarcely arcount for. This dread, now . ever, was Instantly dispersed by bis an wer. "Chang In my feelings? Nothing but any death can change my lore tor youl l nly hope the news you will lean on that date will Increase your happiness. What ever tt may be, it shall not delay our union one hour, I promise you that; will you promise me the same?" "I will," she murmured, "since ours will bs marriage founded on the purest love, no worldly expectations or disap pointments shall sever us." Happy In their reciprocated love, they fondly embraced and parted. Little they thought as they each passed from sight what Important changes would take place tn the fortunes of at least one of them before they met again. CHAPTER XXIII. After Dr. Elfenstein had left the cas tle he lesped Into his gig with light tap and lighter heart, and, touching his bone with a whip, started off at a rapid pace for a village about fifteen moles distant On the way he passed the post offlee, and running In asked for bis tetters and papers. Among the letters wa one from New York, and the black envelope filled him with dismay, as he felt sura it was the forerunner of sorrowful news. Opening it with a trembling hand, he found his worst fears fullilled. It contained tbe dreadful newa of his mother's death, just two weeks before. Poor Elfenstein I the shock was to him terrible one. lie hsd loved his mother tenderly, and was anticipating the great est pleasure In soon seeing her again, and perhaps inducing her to accompany blin back to his English home. Now all was vain. Controlling his feelings aa best he could, the mourning son resumed bis seat and drove onward, resolved, although dated By the suddenness of thU blow, to . attend to his duties to the living, even though his own heart bled. Wa will not follow him upon that ride, which proved sucowinful a physician of well-known capability being aocured to attend to his patients during hla absence nor will wa paint the incidents of his voyage, which proved to be short and propitious, but will present him next to our readnrs when Just entering Mr. Kup pelye'a house at Youkera. Ilia appear ance waa expected, aa he had telegraph . ed of his arrival In New York, and Intention of leaving for his residence on th early train. A bright smile greeted him, and the firm pressure of hla hand told that he waa truly welcome. The sick man cer tainly had gained some strength since he had left, for now he ant beslile a win dow. In a large easy chair, and It was vident that he could carry on a conver sation without the presence and aid of Mr. Gray, hla lawyer. After a few polite and friendly re marks, Dr. Elfenstein drew a chair close to his side, and laying a finger upon his pulse, smilingly said, aa ha did so: "1 am going to ae now, my dear sir, how much newa you can bear to be told. Do you feel strong enough to bear a good Urge amount? Grasping his hand In one of hla thin ones, the poor man aiuwered, eagerly: "Yea, Indeed I do! If you hata news that I yearn to hear, it will ba better than all the medicines I have swallowed in t lifetime. Doctor, tell me at once, baa the mystery been solved? Is my In nocence established?" "Perfectly established. Your brother was not murdered, only terribly abused. Ha has been found, and died a natural death In my own house." Clasping his hands together, while large tear rolled over his pallid cheeks. the Innocent brother raised his eyes to heaven, and murmured, reverently: "For tills. Thy great mercy, I thank Thaa, O God!" A long pause ensued, Elfenstein pur posely refraining from laying more, until bis first agitation had passed away. Then, aa discreetly as possible, pausing every once In awhile to note the effect on hla feebl form, and to watch hla varying pulse, ha alowly told him th whole story, leaving th reading of th affecting Jour nal until another day, "Oh, my brother, my poor, dear broth- art how terrible must hsva been his feel ings all those years of solitude and de spair! Doctor, thus you see my own troubles have been but a speck upon the ocean compared with his." "Most true; and now, dear air, you must also ba a wars that, slue both brother are dead, you have become pos sessor of title and estate. Allow me to be th first to congratulate Sir Fltxroy Glendennlng." The old man received th kind pres sure of his hand and tender worda with deep emotion, then suddenly exclaimed; "Aud to you I owe this speedy discov ery and this great Joy." Bowing his head upon bis clasped bands, he remained thus silent and thoughtful for several minutes. At length b broke the spell with tnes strange words; "Since Ood In his great goodness has thus established my innocence, I am no longer afraid to own, and claim my son, and he need never be ashamed to call me father!" "Have you, Indeed, a eon, my dear friend? This, then, will be to him also a Joy. I did not understand that you bad been married." "I had been secretly married, and my wife, Clara Mowbrey, who waa the or phan daughter of the late Presbyterian minister In a small village, came with me to America, unknown to any one, for she bad no near relatives. She embarked, I aa, wilt ma, bringing our Uttle boy, BY EMILY THORNTON Author of "Roy Russell's Rclb," "Thi Fashiokablb Mothf.i," Etc. aged two years. A fever broke out on the ship, during our long passage, and my dsrllng wife died, Just two days be fore we arrived' In port. It waa after she hsd been lain away to rest in Green wood, that my sickness came upon me, caused by great grief and trouble, and Mr. Elferaiteln come to my relief. It was to him I solemnly gave my only child, my little Earle. I then assumed the name of Kappelye, not even bis wife knowing of the change." "Sir, what can you mean? Did I hear aright?" exclaimed Elfenstein, starting forward, pule with surprise, aa this sin gular assertion fell upon his ears. "You did! My dear son, yon did! You are my own child and heir, Earle Elfen stein Glendennlng, and to you will fall at my death my title and my estates. Come to my arms, my dear boy, for It is twenty-five years since I have held you there!" Clasped then In a close, fond embrace, father and son shed tears together tears of thankfulness and Joy. Thus, while Earle Glendennlng still mourned for the only moSber he had ever known, his mother by adoption, the wound, so suddenly Inflicted, waa par tially healed by the gift of a fond fath er, over whose feeble health and de clining daya he now had a perfect and, tender right to watch and guard. By th time they reached Glenden nlng 1 tall Sir Fitzroy waa able to walk around with a cane, and really seemed to have taken a new leas upon health and life. With Joy Earle marked thla change, and when he aaw hpw Intensely happy he waa thus to be restored to his own home and rightful place, and how proud to boast an honorable name and right eous life, he thanked heaven and prayed that lie might be spared long to its en joyment, for I) In lengthened duys he knew would add to his own pleasure, aa It waa ao sweet to own a father's love, a father's blessing. But In hla heart hi felt that no bop of permanmit change for the better could be possible, as his maladies were In numerable; therefore, he redoubled his watch f ulna over his beloved form, standing ready to aid by skill and id- vice, aa far as Providence would per mit, tq check the great weakness he felt sure would ensue as soon aa a reac tion, after all thla excitement, should take place. I need not describe the Intense delight of the lovers when they were again unit ed, or the surprise Ethel felt on being told that Earle had found a father since lis left her, and a new, but rightful, name and Inheritance. This news he had not written, preferring to tell it in per son. Sir Fl tf.ro y was delighted with his fu ture daughter-in-law, for Earle could not rest until he had taken Ethel to the ball, In order to make them acquainted. His feeble health made this visit per fectly proper, and certainly gave great pleasure to th old gentleman. From that time he, as well as Earle, looked for ward to the wedding day, which was finally decided to take place by the twen tieth of October, with profound pleas ure. A few days after their arrival at the hall, Kir FlUroy told his sun that he felt sufficiently recruited from his fatigue, to visit the ruins, and see the room so long the prison of his unfortunate broth er, and, leaning on Earle'a arm, be pro ceeded to the mournful place. It waa well a skilled physician attend ed him on this sad visit, as he was great ly overcome by all he saw, that so vivid ly told of the cruel sufferings one lie had loved had endured for twenty-five long years. The tears he shed over each symbol of that long captivity were almost unnerv ing, and Enrle led him away from the spot, resolving that all these harrowing remembrance should, If possible, be re moved from the place. If not In his fath er's lifetime, at least as soon as he hud passed away. But to his great surprise, after he had rested and become calm, Sir Fltxroy said voluntarily; "I never, never wish to go there again! I have seen It all once, let that sulllee. Now I wish the old ruined part with the concealed room torn down as soon as It can be done." Earle waited for no further orders. but that very dny engaged workmen to at one demolish all evidences of that sin-dyed spot, and soon an elegant gal lery, for pictures and statuary, stood where had been hitherto but neglect and decay. CHAPTER XXIV. The time for opening the package left In Ethel's rharge by Mrs. N'evergail was now fast approaching. It being the first of October, and consequently she began to feel exceilingly anxious in regard to the unknown parent, who Was to lire- sent himself upon the fifth. U hat sort of a person should she find In him, and would lie be satisfied with her attainments and appearance? These questions were continually presenting themselves to the mind of the poor girl. On th morning of th second, a letter wa placed In her hand by one of the servants, and aa "private" waa written on the outside, she at once repaired to her own room In order to rend it whil alone. The contents, to her surprise, ran aa follows: "Very strsnge will It seem, my daugh ter, to roeiv this, your first letter from an entirely unknown parent. Not from any lack of pateruul feling have I denied myself th pleasure of seeing my only child, until she reaches her twenty-first birthday, but from a train of circum stance which mad this course the wis est. I, however, am now counting the daya when I shall at last clasp her In my arms, and give to her a father's kisses snd lihw-iing. I presume yon have in your possession a package to be open ed on that eventful day. 1 have seen Mr, lingers, and he has told me of the death of your foster mother, and that you are residing at I astle t aim. My child, I shall leave Liverpool on the morning train, reaching the castle nt noon. I n til my appearanve on the scene, I prefer that you do not open the package. To gether we will break the aeal. I'ntil then 1 will only aign myself your affec tionate FATHER." Noon of th long expected day at length arrived, and her grace, th Duchess of Westmoreland, who conde scended to feel considerable interest In the young governess of her granddaugh ter, together with Lady Claire, were seat ed In the drawing room, striving to calm the unusual agitation of anxious and ex cited Ethel, who restlessly paced up and down th elegant aprtsut, or Bitted from window to window, in order U watch th drive), to catch th first gltmps of ber coming sir. At length ber weary watch was re warded by seeing a hansom daah np to tb entrance, and an elegant looking gen tleman descend. On moment passed, then th door opened, and th stranger entered. Tall, and exquisitely proportioned, with an air at once distiugu and easy; hand some features and large, dark eye; hair and full beard a rich brown. In which blended a few gray threads. Thla wa th picture of tbe one who paused a mo ment near th threshold to survey th lit tle group of ladies. Then, as Ethel ad vanced a few atepa to meet him, be ex claimed: "My darling daughter, I am rejoiced to se yon!" at th same time folding ber to bis bosom In a Joyful embrace. (To be continued.) GEE6E CATCH FISH FOR HIM. Canny Way ta Which a Scotchman Gets III Dinner. "An old Scotchman and neighbor of mine," says an enthusiastic angler from Rockland county, "baa a method of taking; fresh water flab which, to my way of t Bin king, excels all others for the ease .repose and success with which It Is conducted. The fisherman living on the border of Rockland Lake desires, we will say, a mess of pike, perch or pickerel, with which the waters are amply stocked. Well, he simply goes out to his barn-yard and selects a big goose or a half dozen geese as th case may be, and tics a baited line about five feet long to their feet. "On reaching the edjie of the lake with a basket containing one or more geese the fisherman turns the birds In the water. The geese swim out and the old Scotchman lights his pipe and sits down. In a few minutes a Amu sees the bait and seizes It, giving the goose a good pull. The bird starts for the shore at full speed, frightened half to death, dragging the fish upon the bank where It Is unhooked." Taking Life Too Seriously. Taking life too seriously Is raid to be an especially American falling. This may be true; but, Judging from appear ances, It would seem to be world-wide, for, go where you may, you will find the proportion f serious, not to cay anxious, faces ten to one as compared with the, merry or happy ones. If "the outer Is always the form and stindow of the Inner" and If "the pres ent Is the fullness of the pant and the herald of the future" (and how can we doubt It?), bow many sad histories can be read In the faces of those we meet every day! Tbe pity of It Is, too, that the sadness Is a self-woven gar ment, even as Is the Joy with which It might be replaced. Ituskiu says; "Girls should be sunbeams not only to members of their own circle, but to everybody with whom they come In contact. Every room they enter should be brighter for their presence." Why shouldn't all of be sunbeams, boys as well as girls, all along the way from twenty-five years and under to eighty five years and over? Love Letter Romance. Half a century ago a young English man, while traveling, met a beautiful girl and promptly fell In love with her. A few day later be returned home. and his first act was to write her a love letter. In It he told her that he could not be happy without her, and that If she regarded bis proposal favorably he would expect a reply by the uext mall. To this letter he received no answer, and so disappointed was he that from that time until his death, which oc curred recently, he shut hlmsolf up In tils home and lived like a hermit. Most of Ills time was spent In reading, and the day after his funeral the heirs be gun to search the books In his llbrnry, for they thought It quite possible (h it the eccentric old man might have hid den some bnnk notes In them. They found none, but In a tattered old pamphlet they found another kind of note, the love letter which was wilt ten fifty years ago, and which the writ er had forgotten to mall. The Origin of Pyrography. About a century ago an artist named Cianch was t-tuuillng one day In front of a fire In Ills home at Axmlnstor. Over the fireplace was an oaken man telpiece, and It occurred to Crunch that this expanse of wood might be Improved by a little ornamentation, lie picked up the poker, heated It red hot ntid began to sketch In a bold design. The result pleased him so much that he elaborated his work aud began to attempt other fire pictures on panels of wood. These met with a ready sale, and Crani-h si on gave all his time to bis new nrt. This was the beginning of what Is now known as py rography. The poker artist of to-day uses ninny different shaped tools and has a special furnace In which they are kept heated. The art has been elaborated greatly. The knots, curls and fibers of the wood nre often worked Into the design and delicate tinting produced by scorching th pun.l. Jewel on an Itlot. The Jewels of an Indian ldr must be worth sten'.lug If many of those re markably hideous linages possess such valuable bead ornament as one made for the Idol Pnrthasathy, In the Trlpll caue temple at Madras. The ornamtnt Is worth some fifty thousand rupees, aud Is mnile of sovereign gold, studded with diamonds, emeralds and ruble, the largest emerald being valued at one thousand rupees and the biggest ruby nnd diamond at three hundred rupees apiece. , Papa' nirasins; and a Cheek.

The moat disconsolate fellow tha: walks the beach Is th hermit crab wbose shell baa become too snug for comfort, saya Country Ufa In Amer ica. If it were bis own, aa tbe clam's Is, It would grow with tils growth and always be a perfect fit; but to the her mit there comes often a "moving day," when a new house must be sought. Discouraging work It is, too. Most of the doors at which be knocks are slam med in his face. A tweak from a pin- cer larger than his own will often sat isfy him that the shell be consider "distinctly possible," and hopefully venture to explore, is already occu pied by a near but coldly unsympa thetic relative. Finding no empty shell of suitable size, the hermit may be driven to ask a brother hermit to vacate In bis favor. The proposition Is spurned indignantly and a fight ensues. The battle is to the stronger. Often tbe attacking party has considerable trouble in cleaning out the shell, having to pick his ad versary out In bits. A periwinkle or a whelk may be attacked in a like manner by a hermit who Is hard press ed and has taken a fancy to that par ticular shell. If the householder be feeble, tbe conquest I easy. If lusty, he holds the fort At Inst tbe search Is over. Tbe shed Is cleaned and ready. 'Yes, this will do. But. how my back does ache! 1 mustn't delay a minute! Is anybody looking? Here goes, then; and may I never have to move again!" In the twinkling of an eye, tbe cau dal hooks let go their bold deep in the spiral of the old shell, and have safely anchored the weak and flaccid body to the inner convolutions of the new one. It is all over; an ampty shell lle-i on tbe sand, and a larger one Is near It with a steeply looking hermit crab in it Poke him and he leans lan guidly out over his pearly balcony, as if to say, "if this deadly monotony is not broken soon, I shall die!" But, behind this "society mask," the cramped muscles are stretching out nnd adjusting themselves In absolute contentment to the roomy spaces of fered them. OUR WATER SUPPLY. Aqueducts of Old Home Furpaoeed by Thos of New York. The aqueducts of old Rome were nine In number, extended 249 miles and furnished the city at a period when its population was largest with 230,000,000 gallons of water a day, equivalent to 100 gallons for each in habitant That was the standard of water serv ice under conditions uot easy to dupli cate in any large modern city and never rivaled during many centuries in any European city. New York to day, remote from high mountains and obliged to go a long distance for Us source of water supply, has a system not equaled anywhere. The average dally consumption of water in New York is 400,000,000 gal lons, which is greater thnn any city of ancient or modern time has ever at tained, and which is thus divided: Manhattan and The Bronx, 275,000,- 000 gallons; Brooklyn, 100,000,000 Queens, 20,000,000, and Richmond, 5, 000,000. There are 050 miles of water mains In Manhattan and The Bronx, and the maximum dally supply of water for Manhattan and The Brox Is 880,000,- 000 gallons nearly enough to supply the whole five boroughs. The Brook lyn water mains are 700 miles In length and there are over 7,000 water hydrants In Brooklyn, tbe number In Manhattan nnd The Bronx being 13,000 20.000 In all, The maximum dally supply of the Brooklyn water system Is 300,000,000 gallons. There are 223 miles of water mains In Queens and 140 miles of mains In Richmond, the v.ater supply of these two boroughs) being furnished tn part by wells. Over $150,000,000 has already been expended for the construction and de velopment of New York's water sup ply, aud Uie constant Increase of the demand for water makes it probable that other expenditures In large amounts will lie necessary each yenr for many years to come. New York Sun. AN ATTACK AT SEA. How Expedition of Small Moots Goe About Capturing Hostile Ship. Imagine a hostile ship lying at an chor tn an apparently secure position on a dark and cloudy night. There Is Just enough breeze and sea to make sounds on the water Indistinct. Around a low headland half n mile away from the anchored vessel steal four or live boats, pulled with muffled oars and filled with armed men. They approach nalselessly. , rrhap they are not discovered ana thus reach the sides of the ship. Tbe next instant the armed men were pouring over her bulwarks and a des perate fight takes place on her decks. Perhaps they are discovered before they reach the vessel's side, Tbe alarm Is given. The men In the bouts hear It, and lash their oars through the water In a determined effort to reach the ship before the rapid the guns can open upon them. Flashes of lire Illumine the night. Tbe search lights semi out shafts of blinding white. The sharp peals of the six throe pounders, the rapid bourse bark ing of llnti-liklss revolving minion, the vicious sputter of (intllng. break upon the frightened air. "(Jive way with a will!" shout the olhYeis of ti e boats, as the men lend to the oars and the light guns In the bows burl tfi.-lr defiant answers back at the wall-sided ship. As the boats sweep up to the vessel's side, gongs citing and rattles sound, culling away the riflemen to re pel boarders from the boats. If the boats' crews can board the ship and clap down her hatches before the crew gets on dock, theirs Is the victory; but if ber secondary battery Is manned and her rltlemen stationed before the boats are alongside, then good-by to the bout expedition; for there Is noth ing more pltless than Catlings And re volvlng cannon.
