He stared out of the window at the flying landscape, his thoughts busy with the astonishinig events of the past few hours. "Daniel Maitland!" he repeatetl to himself. But even his new-found name was as nothing to him compared with thoughts of his "Mother." He dared to call her that in his heart, with a passionate adoration which forced hot a dream â€" one of those rosy dreams of unimagined happiness, from which Poorhouse Danny has so often awak- ened in his narrow bed under Van Auken's counter. He stepped down from the train at last, carrying the suitcase, and Mrs. Brett stirred the sleeping fire I comfortably aware of the astonished to a livelier blaze. "Wouldn't you like a cup of tea?" she inquired hospitably. But Miss Biddle was already as in- tent as a terrier upon the subject of the unknown young man who bore her mother's brother's name as was ever terrier intent upon a rat. "There ain't a Maitland living I don't know all alx)Ut," she declared. "How did he happen to come here, Mary?" Mrs. Brett stated truthfully that the young man had spent the day with her. And that she expected he would return the day fallowing. Then she fled to the kitchen and laughed eelf-consciously into the roller-towel behind the door. She was a truthful Woman but there appeared to be o.;- eaaions when even truth itself must fae conoealcd from prying eyea.

"Hello, Dan!" the operator hailed him. "Where have you been?" Dan, conscious of his new-found diignity, answered the question briefly: "Out of town." "So it seems," drawled the opera- tor. "Well, they've been looking for you. Guess you'd better dust right along. Maybe you haven't heard the news about " But Dan had not waited for further information or advice; the telegraph operator whistled slightly as he gazed after his rapidly retreating figure. "That ain't Van Auken's Dan, is it?" inquiired the station master, pausing beside the window. "I didn't get a good squint at Tiim." "Looke<l like him to me," replied the operator, turning back to his instrument. Daniel Maitland striving to lift his perturbed spirit to the unfamiliar Presenceâ€" her Friend, henceforth to be his â€" determined to go straight to the store and "have it out" with Van Auken. Ho glanced at the silver watch Mrs. Brett had given him at parting. It had belonged, she saiid, to her eon, his first watch and still a good time keeper. Van Auken would be preparing to go home to supper and there would be few customers about. He must think what to say â€" how to inform his one-time "master" that he would remain his bond-slave no longer. He resolved to confess his theft first. It was possible Van Auken had not misse<l the '.noney. As he walked rapidly toward his <lest:n<ition he becjime conscious of faces he knew, of glances cold or curious. Of his own altered appear- ance lie had thought little; it was a part of the marvelous change which had begun to transform his whole life. Kven the familiar streets, in their wonted .sordidness, looked strange to him. He might have been absent for years, instead of hours. Thus, his thoughts keeping pace with his purposeful feet, he came at length in sight of the shabby, unpaint- ed Iniilding, bearing across its front the sign; Van Aul^en's General Store: Provisions, Flour and Feed. He looked to see its proprietor lounging according to habit in the entrance which was seldom clo.sed by day. summer or winter. To his sur- prise the door was fa*t shut. Then he noticed that the barrels and boxes which stood at the door filled with miscellaneous provisions, which it had l>een his duty to house at closing time, had dpsapneared. i^oinetlilng wliich slined listles»ly in the wind hung from the worn latch.

"Hello, Dan; that you?" He turned quickly: the weak, shambling figure of the old man who! now addresse<l him had been a fam- iliar presence about Van Auken's cessfully with little ailments and mis- store, hovering over the red-bellie<l, haps unless she sets up a family medi- air-tight stove in winter, cooling him-' cine chest, which need not be either self with his tattered straw hat in' elaborate, expensive, nor a thing of summer, while he munched dried beauty.

"I s'pose you heard the news, Dan, an' that's why you come back?" of- fered the old man. "Sudden, wa'n't it?" He waved his hand toward the limp streamers. "Who â€" who is edad?" stammered Dan. "Notâ€" not ?" "Yep," confirmed the old man, with senile enjoyment of the other's shock- ed face. "Van Auken's gone.

He'd jes' found out you'd lit out, an' he thought mebbe you'd helped your- self " The old man interrupted himself with a fit of coughing. "Tell me," urged Dan, in a curious, muffled voice: "he was looking, you say, to see what I had â€" stolen?" "Jes' so!" cro\ve<l the old man, in a high quavering voice. "Van Auken was a close man!

Either will serve her purpose ad- mirably, but if it contains poison, she would be well advised to place it on the topmost shelf, as far as possible out of the reach of the children. One of the commonest troubles of child life, perhaps, is the cuts and bruises which they get in falling on hands, knees, legs and faces. The injured parts should be at once bathed in warm water to which a few drops only of carbolic acid has been added. The correct proportion is one in forty. If the skin is not broken, then arnica may be applied; if it is broken, boraciic ointment, compounded of one ounce of vaseline and one drachm of boric acid, is excellent for healing and cleansing wounds. In the case of burns £he great thing is to exclude the air, and flour, starch, be used with good effect.

The bite of a dog or the «ting of an adder is rendered innocuous by the immediate application of lunar caustic, which should be well rubbed into the wound for about ten seconds.
