Mr. James Tran Driscoll, whom you always thought was your cruelest enemy, came here to say that he would be glad to advance you money to start up busi- ness again and to relieve the difficulties of the present.

It shall be a gift om loan, whichever you like, she added, as she saw Jessy Carr draw back, her face growing very white, “Yes," returned Jessy Carr, with pmotion. gust then the sound of prancing horses and clanking chains were heard outside; they had stopped before the door. Jessy Carr was too dazed with the shock through which she had just passed to pay any heed to the names. "Come," said Tekla. Trembling like a leaf, and with her thoughts in a whirl, Jessy followed her passively. “Come right in, poor child," she said, "and make yourselt at home, and remain as long as you like, if it be for days or weeks or months. We shall be glad to have you here; our home is so lonely since We lost our own fair young daagh- ter." "It's the behutiful, proud young lady and her father who were here this forp- 'en to see you, Jessy? said Tekla.

"I see you have seen Tim, and know will about the unfortunate fire," she said, pointing to the marked paper Jessy still iheld clutched in her hand; "but don't; worry about it dear," she added, impul- sively, throwing her arms about Jessy. "Tim and I have saved most of the nega- tives and finished pictures, and all of the cameras-every one of them.

Some one had called him out into the corridor, and another had enter» d, standing motionless on the threshold, listening like one fairly spell-bound, rooted to the spot at the sight of Ger- trade Hamilton and the impassioned, sobbing words that fell from her lips. Suddenly, as if impelled by some subtle instinct, Miss Hamilton turned slightly, and beheld James Van Driscoll, the dis- trict attorney, standing before her. "I am sorry to disgrace. my sister, poor Gertie. She, was always the best friend I had on earth. I can not say as much for you, father," he. added, bitterly, turning and facing the pallid-faced, heart-broken old gentleman who was attempting to comfort his heart-broken daughter.

He knew by the awful stillness that she had tinjshed; he saw the paper flutter to her feet. By a mighty effort/he raised his sorrowful eyes and looked at her. Ere she could reply, they heard a great commotion on the street below. News- boys were screaming "Extra! extra!" at the top of their voices. “Extra! All about the great insurance robbery! Startling capture of the criminal. A well-known millionaire’s son and a so- ciety man! Andrew Carr's innocence proved at last! Extra! Extra!" He would have put her gently back when he saw the surging mass of people below, and saw that they were pursuing some man who looked more like a hunt- ed animal than a human being. One glance at his face and he saw that it was Gertrude's brother, even before old Mr. Hamilton had walled out so sharply that it was his son Richard, his only boy. He looked around-Jessy Carr had sil- ently stepped into an adjoining 1'00m- and. he was alone with the woman he had loved. For a moment the beautiful head drooped, and a flush suffused her face. Quickly she turned page after page, reading in unbroken silence the story of his yte, which was surely the saddest of any man on earth-read the true story of his parentage, his ancestors, and who and what the woman was to him who had taken trom her the diamond pendant -and as she read, her face grew whiter and her hands trembled more pitifully. "Gertrude," murmured James Van Driscoll, brokenly, "have you nothing to say to me-mot a word?" "God have mercy! It is my son Rich- ard-any only son! Where is Gertrude? I must take her away quieklyl" James Van Driscoll and Gertrude both reached the open window at one and the same moment. "Oh, tell me,” she cried, springing to Van Driscoll's side and clutching his arm wildly, 'is it my brother whom they are accusing of this awful crime?” " Forgive me, but I could not help but hear all you said, Gertrude." By main force. James Vain Driscoll drew Gertrude, who was half fainting with terror, back from the. open window, and gave her in charge of Jessy Carr, who came hurriedly into the room at that moment with one, of the extras in her hand. The great, black, glaring head- lines and the picture, whiph occupied full half of the page, told Van Drisaol] the awful truth nt a single glance with- out taking the paper in his hand. Gets trudc saw it, too, and her perception was 0-3 quick as his own. The fiying man saw the open door-way, and darted into it and up the stairs, with the mob at his hee'ls, the officers in the lead, and soon found himself, panting and breathless, in the room where Van Driscoll and Gertrude were, and beside them Jessy Carr. A terrible laugh broke from his lips as he beheld them, A cry of bonstcrnation fell from her lips. Before she could utter a word, James Van Driscoll said:-- - And over the din Gertrude Hamilton heard her father's voice crying out in mortal pain _ - "The game is up, omstel's," he said. "I have gone the length of my rope, and new I feel the halter tightening about my throat! But you shall never take me to a prison cell!” _ "It is better to admit the truth than to --to--sufter a whole life-tinm from a mistaken sense ct pride and duty, James," she murmured, timidly advanc- ing toward him with flattering, extend- ed hand. "I am not worthy to breathe the same air with you, Gertrude, nor to touch your hand,” he said, brokenly. "I did not dream that I should have met you here to-day, or I would have kept out of your way. r-r had written a letter which I intended mailing you to night. I have it in my breast-pocket; will you take it and read it now, silently, to yourself, in my presence? If, after you have tinished, It, you will say, 'Good-bye; Heaven comfort you; you have my pity and my sympathy,' I will carry the memory of those words with me until I die. lu you hare nothing to say, not even one kind word, I will turn from your dear pres- ence and go out into the darkness of my future as bravely as I ean." How could he find words to answer her? He only clasped her hands in mute sorrow too pitiful tor words. In an instant of time, ere they could prevent his purpose, he had plunged his hand into his breast-pocket, drew forth It vial, and swallowed halt its contents at a single draught. Ihose who gazed were too horrified to utter a word of expostulation. The cry on Gertrude's lips died away in a low gasp; even her poor old father, whom some one had led into the room a Ittly- ment before, did not cry out, but. they heard him mutter-- To her great surprise and mortific,a- tion, he did not accept the hand she. PS- tended. His head fell on his breast, and his arms hung listiessly by his side. “In a- few moments all will be over with me," said Richard Hamilton. "and I suppose I may as well make what fog will give to the world as ‘my confession here and now. My time is short. Donit interrupt me, any one of you; wait until I have finished. . He handed her the letter, crossed over to the mantel, and stood there with his head still bowed low on his breast, watching her in wonder as she broke the seal, his heart in his eyes. He saw her gasp as her quick glance traversed the closely written lines of the tlrst page, He saw her face blanch ond her eyes distend with horror, and he Wished that God in His mercy would strike him dead then and there. "Better death by his own hand than a prison cell." .M...) vv "W 5..., "It was a difference of religion which parted us,” she went on, with a great, deep, troubled sigh. “How strange it seems that the worshiping of the one God in different ways should part two hearts that were born to love each other.

I would be willing to do so.

Thutstiatr, 51113721; The name of James Van Driscoll be- came a power in the land. He became famous as a statesman; he gave great sums of money to the poor and needy, and founded great shops to give employ- ment to reformed convicts who wished to lead honest lives and find work. " There are worse and graver faults." murmurs Jessy, with tearful eyes. "r shall teach her that love must never blind her eyes to duty and, Justice. I shall tell her the story of my eventful life and of my great temptation at my dying father's bedside, repeating to her the lines _ V " 'When lovely maiden stoops to folly, A few weeks later the fashionable world was startled with the marriage notice of Stuart Aldrich, the banker's son, with fair, sweet Jessy Carr. Gertrude and Jessy became life-long friends. Gertrude and hey father, Jessy and her husband, were the only four who ever knew the sad story of James Van Driseoll's life. The world never knew it, they guarded his secret so faithfully. Every one admired his beautiful wife, proud and haughty no longer, but a sweet-faced mimisterivg angel among the sufferng and the lowly-a meek and gentle lady, whom the wealthy revereuoed and the poor idolized, Whose earthly heaven was her husband's love and the beautiful, soul-satisfying assurance that he loved her. No children blessed their union, and Tran Driscoll would often say to his wife:--- "Perhaps it is better so.

Some few months after she married James Van Driscoll, the district attorney. Neither minister nor priest joined them together ; the ceremony was performed by the mayor at the mansion house of the bride, Mr. Hamilton giving his daughter away. "To my darling only son,---) know the end is coming, and by the time this meets your eyes I shall be free. My one command to You-ar, my last prayer is, not to come and claim me. I can sleep as calmly in a pauper's grave as in a marble tomb; and secondly, never to be- tray your identity, for your secret will die with me. Keep your wealth and the position which the Lord intended you to do good with, as you value my earnest wish, When you think of your mother, do not remember her weaknesses or her sins, but only her great love for you, her only son. If you ever come to the spot where they bury me, kneel upon the mound of earth, and whisper, 'Mother, I forgive all,' and though they bury me fathoms deep, I shall hear the voice of my boy-my only boy; a few raindrops will fall from the heavens above, and you will know that they are my happy tears, that I hear and understand. Good- bye, my noble boy, good-bye." Van Driscoll bowed his head and wept; like a child as he read the printed words, his 1nother's last message to the son who, by her own command, dared not claim her; and Gertrude 1uingled her tears; with his and comforted him. 'Wes," he answered, fervently. “You love will be paradise on earth to me. We will be sure to get to heaven, up matter what road we travel.” James Van Driscoll drove home with Gertrude and her father, and they took wgeping Jessy Carr with them, loving her deeply for the hapless love she had borne Richard. The same extra. which had contained the picture of Gertrude's unfortunate brother contained also an item of great interest to James Van Driscoll. It was but a short. paragraph, noting the death of Ann Roundtree on the Island, and giving in full the contents of a short note which was found pinned on her breast, with a note begging the keeper to see that it was printed. in all the New York papers. It ran as follows P---- it What am I that I should hold myself better than you?" she answered, with quivering lip-VU, the sister of a selfvcon- fessed criminal?

But they might have spared his weeping sister and poor old father this cruel sight, for as they raised him from the chair, they might have noticed, by the awful pallor on his face, that the contents of the vial had done its work but too well. Richard Hamilton had passed away, his soul was before a Higher Tribunal than that of man, to have Judgment passed upon it. trude?" he whispered, smxidhsly. "In the excitement of the moment you have forgotten that. ,, I “I am willing to give up all réligion for your sake, James," she said, slowly. "Would you care to do that for me?" "But my sin found me out whom, after learning from my intimate friend, the president of the insurance company, that they had a safe tun of money which they were to pay out the nextday, I conceived and executed the daring robbery which the world has just discovered to-day through the photographic, invention of old Andrew Carr.

"The crowd made way for Mr. Hamil., ton's coach as it drew up quickly before the door. "Oh, if I might help and comfort you in some way!” murmured James Van Driscoll, sadly, as he bent over weeping Gertrude. For answer she turned and placed her hand in his. "You should never have permitted me to lose, my self-respect and manhood sufficiently to live upon an allowance furnished by you to keep me from carn- ing my own livelihood, and after you had given me a liberal allowance for years, you should not; have shut down upon me so suddenly, leaving me with- out a cent, harassed by debts and debtors until I turned to crime as the only open door I could see leading out of it. "This is not the only crime laid at my door. I shot a man who hounded me for a gambling debt one night, and bribed my fathev's spy, who was following me, mud saw it, to leave the country'. Last, nd by no means least I won the love of pretty Jessy Carr, standing over there, under the fie,titious name of Frederick Lancaster, and then, when I had tired of her, broke her heart in throwing her over, instead of marrying her and settl. ing down to a peaceful life of it.

The following from the Pete, borough Review shows how they treat incorrig- ible boys in that community '. “There has grown up in this town a class of boys who appear to defy parental con- trol and who seem to think the law cannot reach them. They play trusnt and commit petty thefts and all man- ner of annoying offences. They have no money to pay fines and the parents offer enough from their bad behavior without paying fines Imprisonment is avoided by the magistrate as rather a means of destruction than correction and so the authorities have purchased a rawhide which is now hanging on the wall of the police court with a blue ribbon on it. Parents hereafter will administer this little instrument to offending urchins to the proper parts oi the bodies under supervision of the authorities. The court has determined that the lives of the citizens shall not be made intolerable by the bad behav- ior of the boys. Boys who play truant from school, who break windows in empty houses, who steal and commit other offences will be introduced to this little rawhide with the blue rib- bon,' It has been estimated that the heat from the sun would tsutEeienuy warm md illuminate 2,000,000,000 globes the size of our earth and if there was some practical way of converting this heat into power, it would carry burdens and do all the work that lightning has been doing since in has been harnessed.

Inwrenee was received here yesterday, to the effect that some thirty or forty families of Indians belonging to the Moisie Seven Islands and Mingan had died in the woods lamb winter for want of prov- isions. A good deal of sickness from Its grippe is also reported. Anaemia, which literally means bloodlessness, is prevalent to an alarm- ing extent among young girls and young women of the present day, and is a fruitful source of "decline" and consumption. The symptoms of this trouble are many, but among the most noticeable are pallor of the face, lips and gums, shortness of breath on slight exertion,, dizziness, severe head aches, weakness of the vital torgans, palpita- tion of the heart, and dropsical swell- ing of the limbs. The more of these symptoms shown, the greater the ne- cessity for prompt treatment. Among those who have suffered from anaemia and found a cure is Miss Emily Webb, a young lady residing near Wolverton, Ont, Miss Webb says ', -hty illness first came on when I was about sixteen years of age. My complexion was a pale, waxy color; I was troubled with general weakness, dizz'nrss and pal- pitation of the heart. I was placed under medical treatment, but the medicine prescribed by the doctor did not appear to do me the slightest good, As time went by I was slowly but surely growing worse. I was unable to do any work about the house, and my limbs would tremble to such an ex- tent at the slightest exertion that I could scarcely stand upon my feet. Then my stomach became so weak that I vomited almost everything I ate , I grew despondent and feared I would not recover. While in this condition a friend urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills until I had taken in all twelve boxes, and I 'oan truthfully assert that I am healthier and stronger than I ever was before. I owe this to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I would urge all girls who suffer as I did to give them a fair trial. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done more to make strong, healthy, rosy- cheeked, bright-eyed girls than any other medicine ever discovered, and mothers should insist upon their daugh- tere taking an oceasional course of this medicine. Sold only in boxes, the Wrapper around which bears the full name, "Dr, Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." Offered in any other form the pills are substitutes intended to deceive. An interesting investigation has been made recently in one of our cities as to the reasons why children of equal- ly good capacity should rank so uneven- ly in their studies in the schools. Pains were taken to learn from one class of httrhve puplls enough about their habits out of the school to enable judgments to be made. The investi- gation showed that thirteen boys were permitted to be on the streets at night as late as half past nine o'eloek. Not one of them ranked as high as thirtieth in the class. Another grade class of fifty five was tried in the same manner, eight boys were habitually on the street in the evenings. Not one of them ranked as fortieth in the class. Another class of bhirty-five investigated showed that; six were allowed the free. dom of the streets at night, and every one of them had spent two or three years passing the fourth and fifth grades. One boy of fifteen years of age had spent nine years in getting four and a half years schooling. Lr. vestigation also showed that in these classes examined, eighty-five per cent. of the girls remain at home and read books and about one-third only of the boys ever read at tul.-Yoath's Com- panion.
