S E N A T O R Ingaiis, last Thuraday, m a d e a moat eloquent speech against t h e Butler bill for the deportation of A m e n c a n Negroes to Africa. He said

the Negroes had increased 60 per cent t inco the war, t h a t in all probability they would number 15,000,000 by t h e close of the c e n t u r r . There waa no poe sibility of amnlgaroat ion, it was undo-sirable, bu t he thought tha t there was a chance fo r civilization. They are t h e victims of all k inds of barbari ty nnd f raud, bu t there ia one remedy that h a s never been tried, and tha t ia jus t ice .

I * t t h e whites in t h e aouth open u p their booka for registration and al low one fa i r vote and ono honest count, n n d see if mat ters will no tad jue t themse lv tw.

If t hey (the Negroes), a re found to be incompetent to exerciae tho rights of suffrage, then no more will bo said a n d the aouth could depend on him t o fu r the r any feasible plan to benefit

matters , but as long as the major i ty were practically disfranchised he would tight fo r them th rough all. Sena tor Ingalla str ikes the key note and his m a n -ly stand c o m m a n d s the admirat ion of f nends and foes alike. Wi th a few m o r e such as he in tbe Senate , there would he nomething done to put mat ters on a solid basis down there .

THE democrata of Ohio, in elect ing rainbow chaser Brice, of New York, as t h t i r Senator , to aucceeo standard oil Paine, have done themselves proud in more ways than one. In the drat place, the only qualification he possesses is a n unl imi ted puree, the str ings of wh ich are a lways < ut . H e ia not a resident of the «Ute f rom which ho is elected. Of

I t was assumed thn t as but two Senatora were to be chosen f rom each State, they would lie men of signal dist inction fo r public ability, ex-perience and intelligence. Such a m a n , for instance, is Senator Sherman, of

Ohio. H e is essentially a public m a n . He has proved his admirable capacity in high executive, m well as legislative

olllce. H e is unquest ionably one of t h e most eminent of public men now in active life and an honor to tho stale of which he is a Senator . His State, h o w -ever, has jus t given h im a singular c o l -league.

CHAPTER VL There nre few to tteoped in wrong-doing

as to be comfortably stupe fled. Rote has never quite forgotten for one abort half hour her deserted child andhuaband. Uncle Aaron'* beseeching word* bava come book to ber ears »/ain and again, and she feels a sir .nice, rogrettui pity whenever sbs Ihlnkt of him

Fifteen years have passed sway *lnoe *hs has seen him, and on bus psnlcolsr dsy as she Is walking through the town of Ron-doul ba Is in her miud. She Is with her theatrical company, and whether It is owing to the fact that tbo is so uear to the mannt-aln* or nol, tho hat been thinking of Uncle Aaron all tho mdrniug. Suddenly a hand 1* laid upon her shoulder, and a voice says huskily: "Beam this Rose I"

"Yet - w h y , it 's you I" sho exclaims, gas-log al Uncle Aaron in surprlae. l i e stands there In the sunlight, his beard and hair very white, his gray oyet ilsthlug with ex-dtement, bit t rea ih coming fa tL " A h -how do you do!" the s s y s ; "are yoo w e l l f

"Yet , tbsnkea," Hammers U n d e Asrea. "1 was j u t l thinking of yoa," goes oa

Rote, coolly, looking verv beautiful, will) thegUntof the tun upon her yellow hair; "do you of ten come into town I 1 thought you ntldom l i f t the mountains."

" I comed down on Matthew's butinets. He ' t my other ton, ysr know—hss • farts. 1 livs with him aence mother diod. H o w -do yo know-how is Jacob?" sstd tbe old n a n , esgorly. '

"Jacob? I do not know, Ihavenolseon him," slowly, "since I last saw yoo."

Tho calmnett of this (Utemoat rather thaket the good old man for a moment; theo, his eyot floihing more than ever, hs sn twer t : "Bo long as ths l I Why, wes Alice It nigh on to eighteen years old.'*

"Yes," oasented Roao, calmly, "tho mutt be. I t she liko met Is sho pretty, do you knowl"

'•Woman I womsn I" broke In Uncle Asron, "havn yo no h<iari s t all? And you have not seen her in all these year* I Toll me, b t t e y o never wanted to teo h o r s n d y e r buabaiid—my boyi Vav« r wauled lo tot them all thit l imet"

"Nol vory much," the antwers, tmlllng slowly; "but I bars wanted to tee you, though. Yoa dun't beliovo thsl l I t ' t t ru* a l l lha i sn ie . You have alwsy* been In my thought*. I have fell so torry that wbst I did hur l you, boo ute you wore to good," throwing out her bsnds with a pretty gest. are.

"Oood I" ejaculated U n d o Asroo, la tmajement ; ••whstdoye mean?"

"I moan," ssid Rote, turning around 1m-pultlvoly and f sdng him, " tha i vou are mure of a saint tbso sny ous I know, and my memory of your talk tn mo 1* lUo tbat of • church, and thsl If 1 had hod you for my fa ther 1 might hsvs been s good woman. There, that's whst I mesn."

More smsted than ever U n d e Aaron flood looking s tber , bis b e a n twolilng with smotiou,

'Yes," went on Rote, "snd If 1 wsre with

yo# every day now, I would b e t good wo-msa. I t ' s t rue," t h s nodded; "yoa are bet-te r thsn all tbo priests lo mo."

"1 don't seo why," he said. "Yoa don'tl No, I suppose not," she ex-

olaimcd, laughing sway K tear ; "but it's a fact all tho imtno. 1 know tbat If I had to die this very minute, I shouldn't bo half to alrald to ro if you would stand by me aad hold my hand I"

Buddenly over Uncle Aaron's face csaie • tlrauKo llRht, and the blood rutbed hotly up s^aintt bit white hair. "Ross, il hsve thought of tometbmg, Will ys r do It for me, child! Will yo do i l l "

"Not to go back to Jacob—" "But if I iro with ye," said U n d s Aaron,

rapidly "Yo tuid, if yo was not msklng •port of me, thai if I were by ys every dsy yo could be a good woman. Hotel Roset oome back to Jicnb, and I'll come with yo I Come back lo my boy. Como, I'll oome with yo. Think ot the years thsl ho has loved ye snd been loft alone. Think of ys r child—will yercome, RotsI"

For s moment the seemed lo wnver, then thsklng ber bead the t tk l , rather wesrilyt "No, It would be of no ute. I couldn't now. It i t too late. He can not want—1 should not l u i t h i m - b e could not forgive, and betide* - O b , 1 couldn'tl l l it Imposaiblo."

There nro times when the yearning of an intonto love bus tbo force of a wbirlwind. Such wat Undo Aaron's great toui now. Ho taw tbo future Joy both of hit boy and of thlt fair woman before bim hanging in the balance, aad ho fel l that ho mut t sa re her. Hit eyes burned, bis fsos wss flushed, ho walked erect like a king, aad lino a kini; he commanded:

"Como, 1 want to lallc with yo." Looking up at him in wonder, for acrott

his face tbood a quivenng llxbt of t irango tweetness, Roao ttoppod, hoiitated a mo-ment and then turned and walked by hit t l d a 'Ho strode along down ono of tho tide streets and out totbeedgoof tbetownuntil they came to a dumpof trees nesr a t t resm.

"Let ' s s i t down here," ho taid. Both wore siieat for s moment. Rote norvoutly punching boks in the soft green mow with the end of ber lace paraaoi, while Un-d o Aaron, laying hi* hat upon the ground, ran hi* flogtr* exdwdly through hi* long white hair

" l l 'a a queer world, child, and I don't pretend to undersUnd I t ; but there i* one thing that I do know, nnd 1 want j s to know i t The only happiness for ourseivss is whst we givo to others. When 1 was younger I didn't know this, snd many • time I cried out at t h i n n sad hsted folks. 1 was always hungry for what I never got, all my life, Ull late years, aad I used to feel as if noooe'a heart wot quite to empty as mlns, snd no one's ilfo quite to—tpoilsd. Bat, chi ld,"-hero his voice grow deeper— "I hsve fouad oat ths l all hearts are hun-gry, all Uvea lacks som "what, and no one'a daysarequi teos they would like them. And to I ssy, what am I m o o than other folks Ibsl 1 should hsvo things right to my mind I And so 1 isy to ye, what a re ye that ye should spoil two other lives ths l yer fsncy be suited I"

Rote glanced up a t him, ahlvered a little, aad he went oo aervoualy punching holea in the soft green mois. "See tha t coif down there trying lo poke its nose through into that otber flddl He don't *ee why that fenco it there—he can ' t tee why.

Rote fluthid a illlla but an twsred: "No, I have often been very lonely."

"My poor child," said Uncle Asron, sym-palbetlcully, hit big hand teeking hers, and pslting ll gently. "Oo on, tell mo of IL"

" 1 - 1 don't know whst to tell," stammered Rose. " I am praised snd flattered snd ad-mired, and at flrtl it waa delightful, b u l l suppose I've either got used to it or tome-t h i n g - b u t now it don't seem to please me as it used to do "

"Yes," assented Unde Aaron, "ys sre toe good s woman to be happy away from yer hu tbmd ."

" I don't think lha t ' i i t ," said Rots, rals. ing her eyet s t isst snd looking s t him; "1 think the reason thsl I am not happy is be-cause 1 want tometbing new."

"No," said Uncis Asron, sbsking bis head, "you doa'l. I t 's a dull thing to tay, child, but you nan t tomotbingold. Old a* those bill* yonder, and a* *trongi Obi that I wat a tcoilard, aud had the word* In my bead foryo. 'Ye want to give more of yerseif away and than ye'il f e d rich. Home things grow by being used. Ys want to u te the heart lhat ' i la ye—"

"Stool" cried Rose, t trangeiy *tlrred. "There'* no heart in m a I 'm not like you. I've lived in tbe dtie*. I'm old and hard. You Judge inebyyourtelf. Youarewrong," rising quickly to berfoet snd walking a few t u pa away,

"Child," said U n d e Aaron, following he* and placing iwo band* upon ber shaulden "give, and ye will be bietted i"

Her beaullful eyes flatbed beckanddea oomiirebension of his thought, and sbs fel t for the moment uplifted—intplred—willing to do what he wished, but in another moment the reaction came, and she whis-pered faintly: "I wou ld -bu l lhave nothing to g i v e "

Then Uncle Aaron smiiod such a tweet amilo of atrong faith In her that she fell *s If an arm of i t reagth had tuddeoiy been put about ber. That tmile aald mors than words oould of sure hope and loving confl. denoe, "Ye will t ry l" he aald.

"Yes ," very tlowiy and very hambly, "bu t I sm sfraid. And besides, I am so Ured, so very tired 11 want aome one—aomo o n e - " bursting out suddenly into great sobs, "some one like you to oonfort m a "

The light of love upon U n d e Asron's fsoe deeponed. "There, there, ohiidl I'll nevsr leave ye again; yo shall bavs me lo comfort y a Ah me I" sighing with deep joy , -bow baupy I b e i "

Rote raised ber bead up from the grow, whereon *be had thrown herself in her abandonment, and looked a t him. "Buppyl" sbecrtod.

"Yes," he sntwered, smiling down at ber, " for I know that ye aad my boy will be bsppy once mors."

"Bulperhsps—" began Rose, with U w bUng llpa

• Come," tuid Unde Agrpa, picking a s his bat and holding oat bla hand. "Comer* They wslked along band In hand for aome dittanco, and through Rote's mind thfl word*, "Our Father which a r t In Heaves. Our Father which art In Heaven," kept re-pealing thomteive* ovor continually. For a fewdaxed momenta t h e foil **1/11 was He who had her by tbe hand. Then glano-log up and seeing Undo Aaron'* great, bul very humao form, a trembling realiiation of n h a l sho had agreed to do came over her. "I 'm afraid," she whispered.

U o d e Aaron gratped her band still tighter und answeredt "Yuseod not be, cnild. Jacob ha* loved ye all ibis time."

Very humbly the beautiful bead dropped again and a penitence tha t was complete filled her toul.

They flnaliy camo into the lowo, snd Rose ssid. gently: "Will you onme to the Mansion House snd wslt for mo l"

' No," said Undo Aaron; "I have to do something for Mattbew, yo koow. I'll 'tend to that flrtt, and aend bim word that I sm going to New York to se* Jacob. Ha'd bo • wonJerin,' ys see, If I didn't oome back."

This small but practical detail again made Rote reallxe what a change wat com-ing to hur life, and ths trembled again, " I forvot every thing but my owa miserable self," the said, humbly, "1 will see my msa* ager snd reugn my position, get my thing* together, sad whenever you sre ready come to tho hotel snd you will flnd m a "

"Very well," aald Uncle Asroa " I will oome by noon for ye, child."

He wont bit way and the went hers. About twelve r.'dock he called for ber, snd tbey took the small boat acrott the nve r to Rhinebeck, woere the steamer awaited them. Here Unde Aaron sent a telsgram to Jacob: "Rose and 1 areooming to yoa; meet ut In the city."

Tbo tall down the Hudtoa river was so-eompiithed in the uaasl time, and flnaliy tbe New York wharf was resohed- Rose snd Uncle Asron made part of the crowd t h a t Usned over the railing nearest tbe dock.

A LONDON STORY.

Milly wna the poor l i t t lo toul ' t name; no onn had over culled h e r anything cite - o n l y Milly.

She mado her scanty living by em-broidery, residing in a forlorn looking, da rk and narrow room that was yot fo r tuna t e enough to boast ono amaii win-dow on tho atrect. Ay , t h a t window waa Milly's glory; the joy a n d delight of her exUtencc, The s t reet was a dingy Lon-don one; hardly a thoroughfare , and therefore not noisy, bu t gay, and oven delectably worldly, in t h e child's oyea For t h e was not much more than a child aa ye t ; though worn in face and serious looking, sho was young lu years, scarce 17 tu re ly a t moit , while in character she was very childiiih still, London bred, t h e was shrewd a n d quick in many tilings, keenly alive to tbe noceaaity of dally work, thoroughly expec tan t of the money loving w a y s of her oinployrrs and as tu te with regard to life generally; nevertheless, a f u n d of f reshness and in-nocence in Milly's ao^il waa wont often t o burs t for th liko a sweet , pure spring of water coming f rom depths unknown, ready lo gladden a n d aoloce t h e arid hear t s of he r neighbors.

She waa friendly t o thoso neighbors, who, t ome of them, befr iended her . But t h e hod always been much alone. Sho waa almost like a prisoner, th is little lorno and feeble bodied seamstress, or r a the r embrolderess, w h o spent he r nn-cared fo r youth bending over a f r a m e of needlework, car ry ing ou t the ideas and designt of others—only occasionally, as a ra re luxury , allowed t o work her own wiB nnd her own fancies into Ihethreada of silk and pieces of l inen or t a t in " l e f t over , "

If a boy's will bo tho wind 's will, what shall bo said of a girl 's? Is it light, ephemeral , like the sea foam? Or strong-er , like bindweed in gardens? Or firm, and brave, and shining, like tho marblo t h a t makes tlio coping stone of palaces? I know not.

Milly cared little f o r t h e vehicles that sometimes wont rumbl ing down her s treet , no r for tho sad looking, poorly dressed pedeslrinns w h o were tho only frequenteraof that neighborhood, nor for the loud voiced vender* of cheap goods iu b a r r o w a It was t h e corner of gray sky—occasionally a pallid blue—which t h e liked, and wiiich (by squeezing well in be twix t a heavy table and the window ti l l a n d craning her neck painfully) si u could aee ami great ly en joy , in contrast to t h e dingy a tmosphere of her lodging But w h a t she loved best of all to gaze on f r o m her window was the shop -ppo-t i te—a shop ao glorious, ao lovely, ao comfor t ing and ye t h e a r t st irr ing tha t the child could never be mtia ted with looking and wondering a t ii,

A flower ahop il was. Wha t a ro flow-era m a d e of and how do they come? aak the Londoners. How a r e they gathered and brought together in their infinite beauty of tone and color, in their brill-iancy and freshness, in the i r tenderneaa and sweetness? Flowers in pots, flowers in bunches, flowers in sprays, mraggling groups of flowers, n n d stray aingle blooms—ail these filled and docked the window panes of t h e shop opposite; all these gladdened the eager beat ing hear t of tho little U m e embroiderens. I t mat-tered not, when her eyes were delighted wi th t h U dream of f a i r y color, thnt ahe was lame; nor did tho remember her many sorrows when , with hot t rem-bling hands , iho threaded her needle and plied her loveliest silks, glancing np now and then to gain f rom beyond the nar row street a new draught f r o m her source of intpirat iun. Fast flow be r flngera, fast g rew tho flowers beneath her touch; like, ye t not liko, | h e originaU; pret ty, perchance, yet dUappointingly different to expectation, t hough t t h e little art ist , w h o realized (wi thout knowledge of tbo w h y or wherefore) t h U fai lure of a great intention.

Fo r she wanted to copy nature . Nay, w h o tha t ha t once teen na tu re can be readi ly content wi th a counterfei t?

Every now and then , a t tparae inter-vals of l ime when t h e wot thoroui.lily disheartened and disgusted with IK r o w s hand iwork . Hilly would fetch her old ha t and cape out of t h e cupboard—her cupboard where she kep t everything, f r o m a piece of dry bread to a n empty blacking bottle o n d a n old Bible—and drees herself Uboriously and c rawl over to the opposite side of the street and s t and there , her face pressed against the panes of t h e flower shop window till t h e could t t a n d upr igh t no more. If t h e wea ther wot cold her t lender fo rm thiv-ered under the th readbare black cape, her faoe grow moro p ind ied and blue t han before, but she held her ulace brave-ly, a tudy ing the f o r m , t h e " m a k e " of tbe flowers till alio knew t h e m so well tha t t h e could shut her eyea and reproduce them on tha t wonder fu l canvas which we all poatetH aa a f r e e g i f t to paint our beaut i ful visions upon—ths clear whi te page of our own minds.

There was ono th ing t h a t troubled her, tho flowora died ao quickly. Milly had ne i ther time nor t t r e n g t h topoy frequent visits to the flower stoni, and conie-quent ly nover migh t she hope to see her favorites quite d o s e a second tirno. She studied them, she loved them, t h e strained her eyes to see them, Oood. But a few daya later they were gon» f rom their aocui tomed plaora, and others , new comer*—new, graoeful, fairy things—were displayed where the old f r iends had slowly drooped or had bei-n hastily removed. Tltsl was the way of the world, doubtle**, bu t there are some people who never get uaed to the ways of the world. Milly was haply ons of theM.

Sho had ons f r iend—though I should ra the r aay one acquaintance, for ho waa scarcely more—and tha t was t h s little crossing sweeper, the poor boy J i m ,

Their misfortunes were a bond Iwtween them, perl iapt; they were both crippled, though slightly, f rom infancy. Hu was humpbacked : she was lamo. H e was awif l of foot and of eye and oould pilot her dexteroualy over the muddy way, mJm f r o m horses' fee l or splash of wheels; she, Uie girl , was stronger of band, br ighter of face and of ~ courage. She had more than once token t h e besom f rom J im ' s hand and swept a n ay the mud fo r pedestrians blithely and cheerily, ao tha t ahe earned more coppers f o r him In ten minutes than he knew bow to gain In a n eary morning's work . Ills hands were so weak and delicate; hers, used to acUvily, wsre poaltlrely muscu-lar by eontrast .

There was one drawback—ha never aeemed to comprehrnd about tha flow-ers. H e would stand on one leg hy the bril l iant sliop window storing plteously, t ak ing off bis ragged cap ai d puttu.,* it on again with a gesture of perplexity, acraiching hia head aometimea fo r greater duubl .

" Y o u aee, J i m , " Milly whl tpered to h im one d a y , " I love them ao—the flow-e n , They are ao beaut i ful , ao very, very beaut i fu l . I t qu i te g i v n ma a pain, an odd feeling here iu my throat , only (o look a t t h e m . "

" T h e n I wouldn' t have no th ln ' to do wi th ' em," returned the boy decialvely. " I f Uiey hur t you what'a the good/*

" T h a n k you, J i m , dear; oh , thank you. T h a t makea it jus t the s a m e aa if you d id . "

" W h y , how can t h a t b e r a tked the boy, leaning on bla broom and s ta r ing a t ber ha rde r than ever,

"Of course ll does. Don't you s t a r a tked Milly, to whom deflnitiona aeemed almost t h e grealeat difficulties of Ufa.

The re a r e soma people who h a v e so lit-t le to say t h a t they spend Uieir daya in t ry ing to make the scanty subatanoe more; meanwhi le the thoughts of o t h e n surge tempeatuout ly against the i r f e t t e r ing speech, and these people m u s t al-ways appear ignorant and dulL

One day—il waa a bright May morn-ing—Milly had come to an end of all her commissioned work. Nor had she any Ideaa f o r the • u ture ; ahe waa t i red, over-done perchance—ah# had been working both early and late this last week . The colors of t h e many potoled flowerain tha thop opposite teemed to flash more br ight ly than usual; the t un was strong and hot ; the three cornered piece of tky overhead was poalUvely blue. From ita cage on a nail outside a neighbor 's win-dow camo the sweet song of a captive th rush . Some effervescence of apring-Unie roae and bubbled in tho girl 'a young ve lua She could nut stay wi th in her dark a n d tqualid room; tho roao lo her feet In impatience.

A moment later ahe had reached tho street. Sho stood outside the door of the houae, gazing inquiringly f rom aide to aide. No, J im waa not there; he w u nowhere In aight. Well , ho wou ld aoon return, doubtleaa. There were few ve-hicles t o be aeen; ahe migh t croaa safely. Now the deed was done; J i m abould preaenUy hear of her prowess.

A n d surely the reward was wor th the effort . The flower ahop had never aeem-ed ao beauUful. Bunches of Iliac, labur-n u m and l iawthom were blooming on ono t ide : on the other aldo wero posi-tively atacked pink, red and whi te peo-nics, pan si ci and tho anemones a n d blue bells of the woods, while marsh mallows and cowslips shone more golden than the sunshine.

Milly knew no names or propert ies cf flowers; in her eyes there wero no com-mon ones, and thn hothouso geruniums and cinerarias were only by color more glorious t han the penny bunchea of wall flowera and field dalsl<-a and s t raggl ing forgst-mo-nota tha t wero specially pro-vided for weary Londoners.

To her ll was all a beaut i ful d ream; there was Just a hard , impassable wall between her and auch luxuries , like the glaas against which ahe flattened her pale, l i t t le pinched f e a t u m . S h e could aeo through the glaaa, cer tainly, but ahe oould not go nearer; no, nor y e t touch or smell. Sho oould only t lgl i , and the t lgh (complaint like) made mailers worse, for it dimmed the clearneaa of the d a a a fo r a moment.

T w o ladles came out of t h e ahop; one paaaed on; the other , seeing tha girl , pa uaed. The hands of both ladiea were filled wi th bunchea of flowers; poadbiy Milly'a eyea were more hungr i ly watch-ing t han aha knew.

You poor little g i r lP t a i d t h e lady w h o stood In the doorway. She held o a t a bunch of aomethlog b r i g h t

Would yoa Ilka lhaaa flowers? Yea, y o a may lake t h a a . "

She mil ledi aha, went on he r way , Milly bad aaid nothing! no t a w o n of t hanks , even. She only graaped Ibe t iny noaegay aa though it were m a d e of gold. She stared vacanUy a t the ladiea till they were ou t of t ight . Then t h a laughed to fUy to herself. W h a t would J i m tay? W h e r e waa J im? W h y waa b e ttill ab-tent? Site mus t certainly come out aga in in the af ternoon, if on ly to teU h im t h e del ightful news. I t was tha flnt t ime that a n y real live flowers had been given t o her, had actually beloogtJ to herself. Why, they were qui te t o f t , l ike velvet, not g r imy and gr i t ty l ike mea t things, and wi th a perfume—yea, t h a t mual bo the meaning of t ha word perfume—someUiing quite, qu i te bewil-dering.

The road WM f ree of car ta and caba now, aarely. This WM the m o m e n t i -one rush forward—ob, the c r a m p in her stiff lagl Forwsrd l No, b sck , in haslet A noise of horses' hoofs, with 1,000 volcea ringing in her ears, and, in t h e midst of al l , a vision of J im 's face, whi t e and set M It had never been before—then the ea r th rising up to meet her vioA-nlly, aa something lsrge and dark loomed before he r eyes, and seemed lo s t r ike her down.

" S h e Is coming to, poor l i t t le Ibing,' These were the flnt words tha t Milly

beajrd. " W h e r e am I T aheMked fa in t ly . B e r own voice tuunded fa r the r off

t han the oUier voice. She w u iu |iain all over , a pain tliat would have been fierce had i l not boon so atunniugly dull , a n d , above all. so universal. Even her lil l la finger ached, ahe Uioughl, and tha t thought made her lialf Inclined to laugh. She could nut tee, ahe knew not whys ahe could not move, bul t h a t w u no wonder , for ahe w u t o UgbUy strapped a n d bound up. On a bed, too. "Where? where?" thu repeated, g u p i n g .

" I n the hoapltol. doar chi ld," answered the nur te . "No, do not ta lk . We a r e going to take great care of yoq ."

Milly t ighed and shut he r eyea f o r w h a t seemed to her bul a few mlnutea. W h e n tbe wat oonaclous aga in ahe u w (hat aomething lay between he r fingera— it w u her own precious bunch of flowera. H o w quickly l l had willed, though. 8 h a tried to l i f t ber hand, bul could uvt. 81in WM a/ra id abe had done wrong even t o t ry . But no one w u heediug her.

"She was ao lame, poor dear , she could not run . And tbe gres t d rey horse knoekeil her down and t h e wheel ii.n aver her."

" H o w terrible!" "The little humpback boy did bis best

to savu her, but ho ran up tuo lata—it w u a plucky th ine , suybow,"

"Hu seems very fond of hsr—it will break his hear t if she dies,"

" H u s h l lef t he should hear yoa . " Milly had heard il all, l l scarcely af-

fected her, nevertheless; scarcely seemed to concern her , in fac t .

W u Uiis maimed , motionless th ing on | the hospital bed h e n e l f , Milly, t ha clever j little needlewoman? W u ll she who had dwelt opposite the florist's window? She opened her eyes yet wider; i t seemed a Utile l ighter now, W u thta t b e baa. pllal? She had of ten wondered what a hospital might be like. There wen , peo-ple here who aighed and icronard around her; alio had not noticed tlieui before. It tln-d her to watch them now; had they all lieeu run over in the street? abe marveled. Wha t u d , aad fooaal What a room full of paiul

Nor tu s t r a n g e n , s t range fooea, s t range voices. Ah, whara was littlo J im? And had ho really coma to her In ber danger?

Tim tears began to trickle slowly down the child 's pale cheeks.

" W h a t Is It, dear?" asked Ihe nurse. " J i m , " said Milly, with quivering llpa

"Oh, my little J i m - m y o * ti •Utile J l m F " H o ahull como to you—preaenUy—

yes, very aoon, I will give the order now."

The nurso murmured aomething to an-other nurse.

"Of course; there la no t ime to loae," w u t h e answer .

But Milly heard not th la The nurse returned. "Shal l 1 read to y o u r a h e u k e d . " A r e

lei It be about flowers." "About flowen, dear?" "Yes—about flowen," retained the

child, dreamingly . " A r e there flowen in heaven?"

"Surely . And we know tha t it is God's garden. Ho g a m e n them there—even tho poorest child flowen of this ea r th . "

Then there w u a cry. " O h , Hil ly, Millyl Obi you will not

die! Oh, promise m e that y o u l l not die!" It w u J i m — J i m wlio had pressed close

to the bed, who w u sobbing u if his hear t must b u n t . He stretched oa t his littlo wan hands. The doctor held him back and sought to quiet h im. Tho weary occupanta of other beds raised themselves u p and tried to aea t h e two children.

Milly moved u much u abe w u able. A gray shadow had passed over he r face, making it almost un recogn lnb le , and sha rp anguish diirtorted ber f e a t u n a . Was thia death? Sho knew not—she had no Ume to th ink . Only fo r him—only for J i m , Uie poor, homeless, f r i end lews little crossing sweeper, ha wbo b a d risked bla own life fo r her—Milly's very temples throbbed with tumultuous thoughts .

" O h , Milly, speak!" cried the boy in agony, " W h y couldn' t I die f o r y o o T

" I am glad ," murmured Milly'a Upa tremulously,

" B u l I 'm not . Oh, It's cruel of yoo to be glad • h f t i I 'm so sorry! Oh, I bate, bate, bats myself , that I couldn ' t save you. If I had only been s t ronger ."

" H u a h , hush ," n i d tbe doctor and the n u n e ,

" H a s h P seemed to aay a n Invisible preaence.

The young girl 's head had fallen back upon the pillow; the pain w u paaaing out of her faoe. She turned ye t more toward he r liitle friend.

" O h , J i m ! " ahe gasped, " d e a r J im, and then more faintly atill: " T h e flowen —Iho flowen—think, J i m , In heaven tbe flowers—never—die!"

They let the litlle, ragged boy fling himself upon her now. Nothing oould hur t her now, any mora than il o uW cure her, or bring her back to thought , and speech, and love. Nor could any-thing alter or m a r the tender radianoa of Uie dead girl 's face.—LAdy Lindsay

best advanced. This is-thc principle on which we have ever sought to conduct our business, seeking first of all to conform strictly to the maximum of

Fair Dealing - Best Goods • Lowest Prices.

W e now take pleasure in announcing a further step in the same direction. We belie , t in large sales and are satis-fied with small profits. W e want ihe confidence and good will of our patrons. It is to establish these facts in your mind more strongly, and at the sain- time to express to you our hearty appreciation of past f;i\ o r . and patronage that we have adopted a plan by which we arc enabled to place in the home of every one of our customers, absolutely F R E E O F COST, the great

National Cyclopedia. Latest and Best Cyclopeiia of Practical Information, in 3 Large Vols,

Our plan of distri'.iution u simply this: Until further notice we will issue to every person who desires it, a card, bearing figures to covcr al! purchases from 5 cents up. As cash purchases are ma.le at our store the card will be punch-ed, and when purchases to the amount slated on the card, FIFTKEN DOLLA.RS. have been made, the person to whom the card was issued will be entitled to receive from us one volume of this grand ' yclopedia. The second and third volumes will be given on succeeding purchases of a sim-ilar amount, so that when three cards have been used onr pa-tron will possess this grand work compleie, which constitutes the best Household Library in existence.

We have the reputation of selling goods as cheap and in many cases cheaper than any ont. else, but our prices will not be raised on account of this grand gift distribution.
