"There Is certainly a considerable ad dition to tbe dignity of the man who kelps support the government lie feels a degree of responsibility that a renter or roomsr never understands, a4d my Idea Is that cvofy man In tbe ouutry ought to become a taxpayer as soon as be can. And the mere fact thut he docs help support the govern ment and bears' his share of the ex pense makes him a better citizen. jllaMtual criminals are rarely taxpay ers.

Without msk- nt h.Trstlf unduly promlnt'nt, or in any way f rnclilnn on the young hniseknepi'r's privilege, slic jet conirived, with quiet lac-t, to Ilrliten Alison's burden and pro cure lior Ihe rrtit ahe u much npd"d. Alison r-sumpd li-r walk with Hoger. whil! Aunt l)ianu atnusod Misuie or reixi o Mr. Merle. iMiring tiin (lay AliHon was too nmrCi fnrngei to enjuy much of Aunt Piaim's rompnny, but Miws Carrlng ton inrtisted that ahe sliould resume lier alntlng levS,,nfi as noon as Misnln whs fcble Id be with lif?r fathnr; and she alno fontrived lliat she and Alison should hav on of thMr old rffresliinj talks ns eften s possible. Notiiinc rstd Alison so snmih as Intercourss with Miss Carrinir- ton's stronjr, rigorous mind. Aunt Diana qui.-kly found her war Into Missit's wayward little heart, and ah soon turned her influence to good account. One afternoon, when Alinon had been spending aome hours at Maplewood, she found on her return that Missie had gone bsek Into hfr old room. All Alison's books and pictures had been moved; Aunt Dianas lovinj hands had evidently been rmployed in her service no one elss would have arranged the bowl of dark rhrysanrhnmams on the little round table, hnd the pretty, fresh cretonne on the couch and easy chair spoke of tin saws tate. Alison's voice trembled as she thanked 11 ism'e. 'Yon ouL'ht not n have done it. Mabel. dear; it is very good of you, but I woold. rather have waited until you were reaJlr will." "I always tnnnt to do It." returned Mimie, solemnly. "I thought about It every night, and then I made tin my mind to speak to Aunt Diana, and sht said she would help me. Have you seen tlin beautiful illumination site has Mint ed for you?" Yes, Alison hud seen it. "Ho not weary in well-doinz" that vtaf- the text tbst Miss Carrimrton bad chosen "for in duo season w shall reap, If we taint not." Well, was not Alison reaping a rli;h harvest? Would she evor repent that she had come back t her own people for loving service and minis try, when ahe had won Missie's affection. and found her way to her father's heart? That he loved and trusted her, that she was growing daily dearer to him, Alison, with all her humility, could not doubt; but Missie was still his petted darling be very suffering she had caused him brought thnia nearer together. It was a lovely (right, Miss Carrlntton thought, to se Missis sitting for hours atiently beside her father's ceuch read ing or talking to hi in. Hut for her aunt's vlsllant care her health would have been permanently injured by ber devotion to him; before she left she made Missl faithfully promise to take her daily walk and to resume her singing. "Tou must leave soniothing for Allie to do," she said, with a smile; "I can not sanction monopoly. We must watch against sellisliness, dear child, even in our best actions : we must not be over exacting In our affection love sometimes compels one to efface one's self for love's sake." ' Anna was a constant visitor to The Holms during Miss Carriagton's stay; they hud taken a great fancy to each other. Anna told Alison privately that she thought Miss Carrington was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen. 'I don't know about her features," Alison had answered ; "I don't think peo- plu consider her handsome, but It is s dear face, and that Is all I care about." "I am never tired of lookinc at hor." returned Anna, with girlish enthusiasm; one sees the thoughts coming before she speaks ; her eyes talk to one, even when she Is silent. There is something har monious, too, In her voice, and even in her walk; she never jars on onej I am sure there are no discord In her nature. Alison repeated this speech ; she tuougut it so preriuy woraea. ana so true, lint Miss Carrington shook her head over it and let it pass; she knew much better how the chords of her being had once been jangled roughly out of tune. "No discords in her natur 1" when every note had been dnmb and tuneless until the Divine Hand had brought the jarred chords Into harmony. "When Cods will is ear will, then we shall know peace, she said to herself; "I have learned that now. But she spot a very kindly of Anna, and praised Alison's discernment in the choice of a friend. "Shs Is a simple, Uvabls little soul," she sold once; "It is quit a treat in this decided ago to meet with a girl who distrusts her own judgment, and be lieves other people's experiences before her own." "Anna is rally very clover, Aunt tl." "I am sure of that, my dear; and she shows her cleverness by not advertising her best wares, lu talking to ber one Is not dropping over buckets Into empty wells there Is good sense and a clear knowledge of facts at the bottom. I.lv lug in an uncongenial atmosphere has make her shy and awkward; she Is like a poor Utile plant brought too suddenly Into th light ; In another year or so ah will b lexs paMid end depressed; all will hav learned to believ in herself a lit thv" "I nin afraid you think her plain," ob served Alison, anxiously ; for hrr artistic ta.s itaA her lay rather an undue liu portauct oa Sairy ; "bet really, whu she talks and brightens ap ah Is quite pretty." "She has a lovely lo k sometimes. Tou sr wrong, Allie, I do not think her plain. M Utile's apple blosmm face makes ber a little colot'les, but there Is a dull rate white rose bloom about ber that not without beauty. I like her face, my dear." "Io yon know, Aunt I1" hesitating a little, at though ah foared how her words mlgbt ba received, for Mis Car r1 tutor, bad a horror of gossip "I atn half afraid that ther is s new trouhl in store for poor A una." "You mean Eva's mvrrlag. I thirk that wil b a good thing for hr ttiar is no real sympathy between tb sisters. "No, I meant something quit different. I hav been at Maplewood a great deal this week, sod Dr. r or bee la always there I am afraid, from what I ae, that Ann will soon hare a step-father, and, Annt D'.' in a voic of strong disgust "Dr. Forl-t la such aa ugly, disagreeabl maa, I most say 1 do wonder at Mr. Uardr wick." l loo.

" Ther are no fools lik old fools,' Allie, and thr Is certainly no acconat- in? for tsstes. Now, In my opinion, en h..liand is enough for any woman; but do not pretend to regulat the world. on't trouble your little head about it bave r. notion that, step-father or no tep-fntlirr, Anna will have her shave of io,l s sunshine." And Miss Carrington :nlled a queer little smile that mystified Alison, but she said ne nnre. There were some things of which Miss arrini'ton never spok te youig people. Si.e often raid; "A girl's mind ought to s as clear as crystal and hold no re- ret a crystal reflects everything. I wlch elder people would remember that." And nothing displeased her more than the careless talk of some mothers. "They uen't seem to care what they put into a fill's mind," site would say. Indignantly, ai d then they wonder that It la chocked up with rubbish." CIIAITICIt XXI. Mis Carrington took a great deal of notice of Itoger, and sought every oppor tunity to bo with him; she had a grvat rocptct for his charectcr, whica, ah said, was a most uncommon one. 'Itoger differs from th young men of hi generation," she said one to Alison; he care little for other people s opin ions, unless he knows them to b In the right mere criticism dor not In 8ueu.es him In the leant." She took a great interest In his work, and made herself acquainted with tbe details ef the business. Itoger wondered little at the quiet pertinacity with which he questioned him; she even followed hiin to tbe mill, and sat in the timber ard watching the men at work. After a few conversations with Roger she spoke very seriously to her bmther-In-law; she told him Roger was very ounit for such a responsibility. Its is a good lad, and would wear himself out In your service, Ainslie, and thnt without word oj complajnt, but he looks too old. aa careworn for bis age; you must remember he is only two-and-twenty yet he must have hia play time, like other lads." "Iiut bow am I to help him, Diana?' rsked Mr. Merle, fretfully. "It la not ;ny fault that I am lying hero like a .og. Th boy must work, or what would be- ome of us all?" 'Mr denr Ainslie, yon misunderstand me," she replied, gently. "Of course Roger must work, but surely he needs help for so large a business. Have yon put no one In your last manager's place?" No. not yet," he returned, evidently struck by her practical good sense. "Rog er never proposed it, and I was too in dolent to think about It; but there Is Murdoch, a Scotchman he has been with ns a long time, and he Is an honest fel low. I dare say h would be glad of a rise in bis salary ; he has a large yeung family. I will ask Roger what he thinks of putting Murdoch in the manager's place. I think he would watcn over onr Interests." "I wish yon would do so." she returned earnestly; "Roger la rather too bard worked for his age. ne tells me he 'ms no time for cricket or tennis, or for mut ing in winter. I I have set my heart, Ainslie. on his bringing Alison for a long visit to Moss-side in the spring. You will be better by that time, and if you have a manager Roper will be able to en joy a holiday ; he tells me he has not left Chesterton for two years. "I am afraid 1 hiftt 'been very remiss and neglected his Interests," returned Mr. Merle, rather sadly. "You shall have your wlsii, Diana ; I will manage to spore Roger for a month." 'Come, now, that is generous or you," she replied, brightly; "I shall ewe you a good tnrn for that Supposing I promise to come and spend my Chriitmas and New Year with you; shall you car to hav me?" "Try me," was his only reply. But he said it with one of bis rare smiles, and Miss Carriugton felt she would b wel come. The prospect of having Aunt Diana for Christinas, and still more the promise of a long visit to Moss-s Je in the spring. want far to reconcile Alison to li-j part ing when th day came for Mlsa Carring ton to leave them, but when the last hour arrived AUsor.'s heart failed her a little. "Yon must not I00& so pale over it AUIs," Miss Carrington said to her anx iously ; "yon know it I had the power I would willingly take yon back with me. "Yes, hnt I could not leave papa lying there. There can be no question now about my duty; It is a comfort to know that" "Ye, dearest, your place must be here a little longer; they could not spare you to me yet Do you know, I sometimes doubt whether the old days will ever come baok." "Oh, Annt Dl! Do you mean I shall never be able to live with you again?" asked Aliaou, in an alarmed voice. Miss Carrington looked at her In a strangely moved way. "I do not think yon will live at The Ilolnuf always; Missie will replace you by and by. I am quite sure we shall be together, even if It be not in the old way. Don't look so perplexed, Allie, darling la this life, with its manifold changes and chances, things are seldom quite th satoo.,, "You and I will never be different J am convinced of that," exclaimed Alison, not in the least understanding the drift of Aunt Diana's strange speech. "Oh, Aunt Dl, hew delicious the spring will be! To think that we shall be rowing on the r'ver again to Long Island, te hunt for forget-ma-nots, and that we shall bear the cuckoo In Aspy Woods, and I shall be sitting in the studio watching you painting, and Itoger will be with us." "That's right ; look forward, Allie darl ing; It Is your birthright. The young must always look on to a happy future. Now say good bye to me, for 1 hear the enrriuge coming round. Christ maa will soou be here, and, heaven willing, we shall meat agaiu." And pressing ber tenderly iu her arms, Aunt Diana turned nwtty. ClIAl'TKIt XXII. Miss Carriugton, indeed, scnt her Christmas and the opening duys of tbe new year at Th Holms, to Ihe mutual enjoyment of hcm-lf and Alir.nu; but it waa not until the end of June that Alison and Roger paid their promise. 1 visit to Moss-side not until the sweet fresh days of spring had patted Into the glory of summer. Miss Carrington li.il written again and sgslo, pleading the comimct she bad siade with Mr. Merle; but neither of tha young people had found themselves tl'H. . "When we come it mast be with a quiet conscience, and uot with a burden of unfilled duties, dear Aunt Dl," wrote Alison at last. "Missie can do without me, but Roger can not leave at prrsrot lbr la such a preaaure of business at tb mill ; and if you do not mind, ( would rather wait for him." Mi Carriugton' reply was curt sad t tb tlnt: "Wait for Roger, by all I sa Got young aougk U tear deferring an unexpected pleasure, of plj enough to dread that 'by and by' ma mean never. There la danger In harrying cn thlugs too much ; w need not crowd our lives. I wjll have neither of you until you can put your cares In your pockets, snd take the full meaning ef these sweet, sunshiny days." Aunt Diana's unselfishness and patience were rewarded when at last the dired letter from Alison arrived. Its ,brkht sentences Bounded to her lik a rippU oi soft laughter from youthful lip- "We are coming, coming, coming !" Oould any repetition be sweeter than that? It was one of the loveliest evening ia June when Alison and Roger arrived at (he Riverston station, and ptood for a moment looking round them In a pleased uncertainty whether any familiar fa would greet them. Miss Carrington had hinted that sb preferred receiving her guests in her own porch fihe hated th tt.stlo ami noirte of a 'railway station. But still Alison's dark eye would Scan the platform und the sunny station room, half In delightful recognition and half in girl ish ctirlosify. "Allie, who Is that handsome fellow j.irt getting down from the dog cart?" aked Itoger. "What a neat little turn out I I I ke a chestnut mare. Halloo I do von know him'.'" as Alison smiled and boned. "It is Greville Moore," he said, hur riedly, and a bright look of pleasnre Croat ed her face at the sight of her old friend, which was certainly reflected in the yonng man's countenance as be cam forward and greeted them. "You are punctual to a minute," h said, joyously, "rather befor your t'nie, for 1 hav only just driven np. Mia Carrirg'on told me I might oring th dig carl, and your luggage m'ght go up by tho omnibus. How are you, Ufa All son? You do not seem at all fagged by your long journey. I expected t find a pair of dusty, jaded travelers." "Alison is as fresh as a lark,'' return ed Roger; "she has been chirping like a whole nest ful all the way np. It is a good tnnoy years sine w met, Moor. 1 should hardly have Identified you the Erst minute but for my sister's recognition." "I believe I should not hav known jou," replied (Jreviile, with a qnick, Bern tinizing glance. "You don't look first rate-does be, Miss Alison? He lias an overworked appearance. We mntrt giva luru plenty of tenniB and boating, and make him look younger." "All work and no play makes .Tack a dull boy," laughed Roger "Two of throe weeks of Idleness and fresh air will make a different fellow of me. I meuta to for gU that there are such things as sawmills iu existence." "Come, thst Is sensible," returned Gr viile, heartily. "Miss Alison, will you take the front scat? Merle, the groom is going to look after the luggage, so yon need not trouble your bead about it." And. springing lightly to his place, h touched the tusre, and in a moment they were driving rapidly down the shady road. (To be continued.) A FROilTTEB CIIEJSTMA3. Day on Which Ballets Were More Namrrons Than Good Wlshoa. In 18C7 Trlnldud was able to gnthej a crowd of 1,000 pt-ople for a circus or similar entertainment On Christmas day that year tho population of tha surrouudlny; country was mostly m town. A stage driver named Blue, who was also an nthlote nnd gambler, felt well nnd wnntod to box or wrestle with any ono present. A match was arrang ed for a cash stake. Soon Blue aad a Btout Mexican were wrestling on tha main street. Tha Mexican was disposed to bo rough. Blue threw bis antagonist on the ground, breaking a leg. An uproar resulted In which Blue shot and killed a ninn, then took refuge la a Jacal. Angry Mexican people tore the roof off to get at Blue. By kicking In a fire place, Blue passed into an adjoining room. Tho mob proceeded to deruollrib. that room also, but increasing violence lUfrturlx'd the proceeding, and mean while shooting hud become prevalent i'hilo B.

Riley waa sur prised at so much shooting notwith standing the day was a holiday, and was further surprised that so many bullets caine near him. Tbe men spurred their horses and galloped to the hotel. They were quickly taken Inside und then learned particulars. Joa Dlmmock was coming into town on tha north Bide of the river, lie reached Felipe Bnca'a resident and from tbra saw the fray going on.

Women True to Themelr, Mr. John M. Coulter, head of .the department of botnny of the Chicago University, who with his wife nnd chil dren was on the Ill-fated Rjiublle, says that the heroic conduct of tbe women was something that can never be forgotten. When the order came to put on life preservers the women put them on as coolly ns If they were Bhlrt waists. There was no fainting, no panic nnd they even joked iininng themselves to conceal nny fear they might havo as they adjusted the un usual preservers. They conducted themselves, he says, In a nianner to make one forever proud of American womanhood. It gave one an under standing of tho nobility of womnn's nature, he declared, that does not pre sent Itself often In un ordinary life time. Handaome Attrrnuon Costume. Chiffon broadcloth, lu a delightful shade of brown, was used for a cos tume suitable for Informal luncheons, matinee, etc., and from which our sketch wns nuide.

Pat The --KM ln, Meal. Oue mother of growing sous learned almost too late the folly of so catering to au individual peculiarity. The bu band and father liked neither soupa, dessert, tish nor salad, and the family aieala consisted of a dreary round of meat, coffee and a vegetable. Then tba mother found tbat ber boys, dlssatta- t:-i-V!y ISO Wipt fled with sueh plain fare, were seeking a more varied menu In restaurants and gay hotels, with none too desirable com plin Ions. It pays every housekeeper, If only to spare herself family grumbling, to put more thought than she does into order ing tho meals.
