It will not be your fault, and I shall not suffer long. ” Mary said nothing, but squeezed the slim, white hand in her brown and horny one, and then only waiting to lift the mercifully sleeping children they resumed their flight But before they had reached the farther extremity of the cornfield Mrs. Clare had thrice stumbled, and Mary stopped of her own accord, warned by the long drawn, gasping breath that her companion's strength had well nigh come to an end. A uew idea seized her, and taking off her cloak she succeeded in strapping the infants onto her back, then making Mrs. Clare take her arm led her on, cheering the sinking woman every now and then with an encourag ing whisper. It was down hill now, but every step was a stumble, every breath a prayer, and they had gained such a little dis tance. Suddenly Mrs. Clare reeled, and the hold on Mary’s arm gave way. The red spots on her cheeks had died out, and a mortal pallor was there instead. “Mary, ” she said, every breath com ing with a moan, "leave me now, I command you. You’ve done your best, God bless you. Go, take your child and give me mine. It could not live long without me, and I can go no farther— not one step. ” And looking in her face Mary Kir- wan saw it was true. What was to be done? For a moment she stood still and mute; then a scarlet color rushed into her cheeks, and she fell on her knees. “O Lord Christ, I see a way, but it’s hard, hard. Help me to do it, for there's no other at all. ” It was a moment’s prayer, and no sooner uttered than she rose, undid the children from her back, handed Mrs. Clare her own, and tenderly wrapping up the other in her cloak darted away with it among the cornstalks without a word. When she came back, her arms were empty, and her face was white as death. “Mary!” cried the English mother, “where is it? What have you done with it—your child?” "I’ve put it down, ” her lips quiver ing as she raised the other. “Maybe they’ll not be afther soein him (for it’s in a hole he is among the com) widout he cries, an he’ll not do that, the darliu, when I’ve nursed him but the now an wrapped him up warm to slape. ” “But, Mary—my God! What do you mean?” “Mane! Shore, that I can’t cany you an the ohildher, too, ” said Mary sim ply, “an it’s thrue ye can’t walk any further. Ooh,don’t be talkin, but hould yer own tight while I lift ye. Shure, it’s not the featherweight ye are. Don’t be talkiu, I say,” cheoking with an al most fierce authority the resistance which Mrs. Clare would fain have of fered as she was lifted from the ground- ‘ ‘But iv yer never axed the mother o’ God to pray for ye an yours, as ye’re a mother yersel’, ax her now for me. ” And on she strode as she spoke, walk ing far more swiftly now under her burden than when she had to accommo date her steps to the fragile creature be hind her, though now and then a sob broke from her bosom, rending the heart of the prostrate woman she carried. Yet it was not the weight whioh distressed her. It was the mother’s heart in her, fighting and breaking for that sturdy, brown skinned in fant, whom every step put farther and farther away from her, and «till she hurried on more swiftly for the agony CHURCHES B aptist —Services Sunday 11 a. m. and 7:30p. ni ; Sunday school!):50a m.; the young people’s society 0:15 p m Prayer meeting Thursday 7:30 p. m.

When she recovered, she was in her husband’s arms, and his grateful tears ; were ou her face. Little did that young officer, who had heard of the attack on Futterhibad and the wholesale mas sacre, expect to see his wife alive and : safe. The Sixth had indeed met and de- . feated the party of which they were in j search with more ease than they had j expected and were in consequence re- ; turning rather earlier when met en j route by the body of mutineers dis patched for that purpose, who, by first harassing and then leading them in pursuit, had, without the loss of more than two or three men, contrived to de lay them two good hours on their way. • • • » • • But what of Mary? No one can tell what ehe endured in her return search for her child. It was then in the last week of May, and tho heat at 8 o’clock was so intense that it seemed to frizzle the brains in her un covered head. She had lost a shoe, and her feet were cut and swollen. Her head felt swollen, too, and her eyes dim and distended. It was the effect of the too hearty drink iu the hot sun and of the xvant of food, which was besides making her sick and giddy, and as the sun grew hotter and hotter a species of delirium seemed to seize her. She saw before her a crowd of sepoys with in flamed eyes and dark, ferocious faces and in the midst of them her baby held by one of the miscreants In the act of dashing its brains out upon the ground. She shrieked aloud in her agony, darted wildly forward, stumbled, fell headlong to the ground, staggered to her feet again, and, lo! the sepoys were gone, and instead her child was wailing, wailing, somewhere in front of her. Yes, ehe saw it now distinctly, wrapped in the cloak as ehe had left it among the cornstalks, and near it, crouching for the spring, a huge Bengal tiger. Again she screamed and sprang forward, throwing out her arms wildly to scare the animal, and again the hor rible vision vanished, only to be renew ed a thousand times iu a thousand dif ferent forms. Once she met a gentle looking Parsee face to face, who stopped her and gave her some “chuppatties” (coarse meal cakes) and a drink of sour mill: and warned her earnestly against returning to the town, signifying, by gesture as well as words, the fate which had befall en her friq^ds there. She ate and drank ravenously of what he gave, but only shook her head at his advice and hasten ed on. The Parsee went his way, shak ing his head. Evidently the poor wom an had been driven mad by the slaugh ter of those belonging to her, and he should only embarrass and compromise himself by trying to detain her. And then at last, all at once, the weight rolled off her brain and the red mist from before her eyes. She was ou her knees in the maize field, and in front of her was the very hole where ehe had laid her infant with the rusty plaid cloak crumpled on the edge of it But the child? For a moment an awful despair seized her, and a cry broke from her lips, eo ehrill und unearthly that it Beared away a couple of vultures who were hovering low over something a yard or two die- taut A little coofng, gurgling note of pleasure answered, and turning she saw a round, rosy face among the cornstalks and a pair of fat hands and naked dim pled feet trying, by stretching and crawl ing, to get at the mother who had left it When Captain Clare, accompanied by four of his men, entered the same field in search of his wife’s preserver, they found Mary quietly seated on the ground, nursing her baby, and the rlng- from Susi. And she did. As the eastern sky flush ed into a delicate ro6e color, tinting earth and cloud with an ineffable opa line glory, her sore and weary feet stumbled heavily into the thicket of which she had been in search, and drop ped upon the damp earth within, with a cry of thankfulness, half inaudible from fatigue. They were safa And Mrs. Clare, rising to her knees, took the brown hands, to which ehe owed h<,r life, in her little fingers, cov ering them with her tears and kisses as again and again she poured thanks and blessings on her preserver. Mary check ed her. “Whis! Notaword above yer breath! Shure, it’s scarce a hundred yards we are from the road, an I'm hearin some thing passin the now. ” Men’s voices were indeed audible, laughing and talking loudly along tho road. Thero might have been half a dozen by tho noise, but whether they were deserters or only coolies on their way to labor the women could not tell as they cowered in the inmost recesses of their sanctuary, not even ventuiing for the next half hour to creep out to drink at a little muddy pool among the reeds, though their lips and throats were eo parched and swollen by this time that during the period of waiting they had hardly been able even to whisper a word to one another. Mrs. Clare, with great discretion, drank sparingly and would fain have coaxed Mary to do the same, but the lat ter plunged her hot face deep into the water, swallowing it in gulps and only replying when she had slaked her thirst to the full. “Lave me alone. It’s got to last me till I get back. ” “Back I Where?” Mrs. Clare asked, but was abashed by the reply. “Shure, an is it lava me child for good I’d be doln?” Gertrude burst into tears. Her long fainting fit had confused her, and she now reproached herself bitterly. “Ah, how could I let you! And you whom I’ve often looked down ou! Why didn’t you leave me Instead?” “Ye’re a woman yersel’,” said Mary gently. “An could ye be afther lavin a feller woman noiv to the maroy o’ thim black divils? As to the boy, acush- la," her plain features working unre strainedly with the sorrow she tried not to express in words, “wasn’t it betther to lave him awhile, an he slaping like an <mgel iu me ould cloak, that’s for ahil the world the color o’ the groun? Shure, I tuk him to the font meself afore iver we left Calcutta, as is more than iver ye’ve been afther doin for yours, I’ll be bound, the purty wee craythur So I’d the olane right to say to our blessed Lord, ‘It’s ye he belongs to now, so take care of him till I’m coinin back, for it’s meself is takin care of a poor unbelavin sowl for ye, ’ I said, an where would that be ef I didn’t?” “But Mary, Mary dear, ” cried Mrs. Clare, weeping more freely for the girl’s simplicity and confidence, “don’t go now. It will be only throwing away your own life, and if they have discov ered him—oh, please God, they have not!—it will be too late, too late to save. Don’t, Mary! The Sixth will be here a few hours hence, and then we will go back together under good guard and search for him, and he shall never want for anything again if I can help it, or you either. Only stay!” But Mary shook her rough head dog gedly. “I could thrust him above to help me when I was thryin to help him, ’ ’ Bhe said, “but ef 'twas earin for meself I was—an shure anyhow is it I could sit here an me purty, bright eyed boy, Jim’s one bairn, tugging at me heart strings a’ the while?” And yet it was with a stern, beauti ful patience that she delayed another 10 minutes to feed Mrs. Clare’s tiny in fant, which had wakened, crying with a hunger which was no longer warded off by rapid movement, and which its poor young mother had no power to relieve. Then, her work of charity completed, the private’s wife gave the babe back to its mother, and cautioning the latter to keep well within shelter till she saw relief at hand and undaunted by the giowing heat of the sun, her terrible fatigue and bleeding feet, untroubled even by the almost oertain prospect of discovery, she sallied forth on the return search for her child. Left alone, the hours passed wearily with the officer's wife. She was worn out with fatigue and agitation. She was faint with hunger, and do what she would her child wailed and fretted. The hours wore on. The sun rose higher and higher till the low entrance to the ruin glowed like a yellow mouth of a furnace. The ohild, tired with cry ing, fell asleep again, and she herself was resting in a sort of half slumber of exhaustion when a noiae from without startled her into a sitting position, her heart sick with terror. There was a tramp of hones’ feet and the regular tramp of many men coming up the road. Was it the Sixth, or was it the party of mutineers which had separated from their fellows? If it were the former, and she re mained in her hiding place, they might pass ou and leave tier to perish of hun ger and weakness. If the latter, and she were to show herself, God only could foresee her fate in its full horror. And the tramp, tramp, came nearer and nearer. She could hear the murmur of ’ Is it kilt he iff” she asked hoarsely. ing cheer which greeted the sight might have shown her how her heroism was appreciated by those brave, rugged hearts. She hardly heeded it but just stood up, dropping her courtesy to the officer, and then looked round at the others. “An where’s my Jim at all?” There was no immediate answer. The men did not seem to hear, and Captain Clare began thanking her in an agitated way for all that ehe had done, and urg ing her to hasten with him to the car riage at the foot of the hill, where Mrs. Clare was waiting for her, which was to take them both under a strong guard j to Susi and thence as soon as possible to ! Calcutta. Mary courtesied again. “Thank ye, sir. It’s very good ye are , to me, but I’m not wantin to lave me voices and catch now and then the gleam of arms among the trees which hid the ruin. The suspense became intolerable. Laying her child gently in a dark cor ner, she crawled to the entrance and looked cut. A body of troops were j passing, had almost passed. She could see the scarlet uniforms of the Sixth and the Scotch caps and gray jackets of Captain Donaldson’s men. She could almost bear the words of the soldiers as at quick march and in double file they passed along, their sternly venge ful faces telling of the hard work they had been doing, the work they were about to do, and yet, when she tried to husband, though it’s not 'on the strength’ I am. Shure, I’ll go down to him the now, since he’s no mind to come up to me. Maybe, though, he’s not got lave to fall out o’ the ranks for that.” The last words were said piteously, her eager, excited blue eyes lifted to the officer’s kindly faea Very gently he took her arm. “Come to the carriage first, Mary, anyway. Mrs. Clare wants to—to speak to you. My good girl, my brave girl, you’re not going to give way now!” "Is it kilt he is?” she asked hoarsely, and then, before any reply oould be given eave the mute answer of the eyes, the child fell from her arms, she reeled 1 suddenly and dropped, a senseless, crum- ' pled heap, at the commander’s feet When Mary recovered from the shock occasioned by her husband’s death, she accompanied Mrs. Clare to England ■ and was ever after her constant com- j panion. The two boys became fast friends, and when young Kyle—Mary's boy—grew to man’s estate Mrs. Clare had him established in a small business, for, as she said, “she could never do enough for the son of the woman who had so generously saved her life.”— Catholic Home Almanac. liis Unlucky Day. i j ; I I I j ■ : i i i I | [ “I tell you what it is," said a man. “I am firmly convinced that every man has his particular day for good and bad luck.

Therefore I make Monday an off day and do nothing but potter around the house. Even in these little affairs everything goes wrong.

' 1 i I The Mohammedans speak of the de struction of Sodom and Gomorrah as “the falling of the redhot name stones. ” They say that when Lot had made a dead failure of his attempt to convert the So domites God sont Gabriel and two oth er angels to destroy them. Gabriel was directed to creep under the foundations of the wickod cities, and then, by sud denly straightening his form, lift the cities high iu the air and let them fall to the earth in ruins. After this great overthrow, so the Koran says, “God showered down upon them hot, burning stones, baked in furnaces of hell. On each stone the name of some guilty one was written, and on him it fell. In a like manner all who were out of the cities at the time of the overthrow were destroyed. ” One Sodomite, who chanced to be iu the temple at Mecca at the time his city, was overtaken with the dread ful semihistorical cutastrophe, resolved to remain in the sacred edifice (the Mo hammedans claim that the temple at Mecca was built by Abraham, and that no harm can possibly befall it or any one within its holy inclosures) until the crimes which ho had committed should be forgotten. He remained there 40 years, piously praying and keeping fast days, but no sooner did he leave its holy shelter than he was struck down and killed by one of the burning “name stones. ”—St Louis Republic. The Use of Woods. Furnltnre manufacturers are now us- ; Ing mahogany more than ever, especial ly in ohairs, and it is used also in house trim. Perhaps the most popular wood ef the moment for interior uses, house trim and furniture is American bireh, the use of which is increasing largely. It comes from Canada and from New York, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. It costs about one-third the price of ma hogany. Good mahogany sells at 18 : to 80 cents a square foot. American biroh has been growing in favor for five I years, to some extent on acoount of the increasing scarcity and higher prices of cherry, another popular wood, which many would now prefer but for its cost. I Cherry now sells at about two-thirds the price of mahogany. Oak is used for house trim, both quartered and plain, and other popular woods are cypress, sycamore, maple, ash, elm and hazel wood. Black walnut, so generally used 20 years ago, is still used somewhat.— I New York Sun. A Role That 1» Not a Rose. The common tuberose is an excellent illustration of a popular misnomer. The , plant is not a rose at all and has no con- | nectlon with the rose family. Its name i is a corruption. The French garden- I era always call it tubereuse, or tuber j plant, and the latter part of the name was corrupted by ignorant persons into j tuberose. The similarity of sound no doubt led to the change of name and consequent mistake, similar instances having often occurred. — Philadelphia Press. Ills Diagnosis.

A Study In Peaches» ; | i J ! M. Radel, who was chief librarian of the institute, had a taste so exacting that it was seldom satisfied with the grapes, nectarines and peaches brought to his judicial palate by the gardeners anxious to supply the king's table. Ono day while he was in his official study examining an ancient manuscript, the door opened, and through it an out- stretched hand held a basket containing four superb peaches. It was a scorching day, and the librarian’s appetite rose at the spectacle. “Enter, enter!” he ejacu lated. The gardener obeyed. M. Radel, with out speaking, seated himself in an easy chair, crossed his legs, folded his hands and waited with a face expressing curi osity, doubt and hope. Cutting one of the peaches iu four parts with a silver knife, the gardener fixed one-quarter on the point and said in a tone of entreaty as he put the morsel between the epi- cure’s lips, “Taste tho water. ” M. Radel closed his eyes and was si- lent for two or three minutes, during which time the gardener regarded him with anxiety. “Good, very good, my friend!” said he at last, opening his eves. Placing the second quarter between the epicure’s teetli, the gardener said, with more firmness, “Taste the flesh!” The judge moved his mouth and re- marked with stronger accents of ap- proval, “Ah, very good, my friend, very good!” “Taste the aroma!” said the garden- er, more confidently, as he inserted the third quarter. “Good—very good, my friend, very good!” The remaining quarter was placed on the end of the epicure’s tongue, and the gardener exclaimed in a tone of tri- uniph, “Taste tho whole!” "My friend,” exclaimed the delight ed epicure, holding out both hands, “it is perfect! It is superb! You have con quered every difficulty. 1 give you tho homage of my admiration. From to- morrow your peaches shall be served ou the table of the king!”—Youth’s Coni- panion. The Broken Agreement. Three jolly “commercials” were sit ting in a restaurant at Szegedin, and after recounting their exploits they in quired of one another what line of busi ness each represented, when one of them deolared, to the astonishment of the oth er two, that he dealt in human noses and was prepared to purchase the pro boscis of the traveler sitting next to him —a monster iu its way—tho article te be delivered after death, but payment would bo effected at once. “How much will you give for it?” in quired the owner of the nose. “I will look in my price list,” he re plied the traveler. After measuring the other’s nose and making his calculations lie said it was worth 100 florins, but each of the con tracting parties bound himself to pay for 10 bottles of champagne if he broke the agreement. The seller consented, on condition that he was to be left in un disturbed possession of his nasal organ during his lifetime. “Very good. You shall have your money tomorrow. ” Our traveler then called the waiter and whispered something in his ear. The latter returned in a few minutes with a redhot poker, which the traveler took in his hand and gravely advanced toward the seller of the nose. “Wh-a-at are you going to do?” “I always brand every nose I buy with the name of my firm, so that I may know it again on delivery, and I am going to do so now. ” At this the company broke into loud laughter, and the seller had to pay for the champagne.—London Tit-Bits. ! j ! • | ! for Infants and Children. i j i | | HIRTY ye»r»’obs»rv»4ion ofCa»toria with th« pafcwmago of T millions of peroon», permit »» to »peak of ft withont f—»!■<.
