by sterling advice, with love and gen

her future were made in her early
childhood, but Robert Yates had been
wise enough to keep this from his
headstrong daughter, while he had
guarded against complications.
Of late her father had changed, and
Lothia was uneasy about it. It was
now two weeks since a bulky letter
arrived for him, which she delivered

curious as to its contents, wnen ner

I To-day another letter arrived bear
: Ing the same postmark. Lothia had
j sent this one in, fearing a repetition
j of the former scene. Shortly she was
i summoned into her father's presence,
to be addressed with sternness, and,
! she thought, with cruelty,
j "I.othia, you are grown to woman
f hood, and it is time that you were
j settled in life. In your infancy I
I made an arrangement for your future;

Sllment of that plan. To-mcrrow a

sire you to treat with the greatest re
spect, as I esteem him highly, and
he is to be your husband in the near
future."
Lothia's great, blue eyes voiced her
astonishment, then slowly filled with
tears, but after a moment's pause her
father continued: "His name Is S. E.
Aaron 'Yool bridge."
"Is he young, papa?" asked the girl
with tremulous lips.
"Well, no; not extremely young;
forty, or thereabouts."
"O papa, how could you!" she
sobbed.
The man moved uneasily about the
room. At last he stopped before her.
"There is no use of becoming hy
sterical," he said. "You must do my
bidding."
"But why, papa?"
"Because it is best because be
lause I command you."
The fire of indignation flashed from
her eyes. "Well, then I won't; that's
3at," she cried, rushing from the room
to leave her father filled with sad
wonderment.
Catching her sailor hat by the brim
she jammed it upon her head with
iricious earnestness, not stopping, as
svas her wont, to brush back her rebel
lious rings of copper colored hair, for
the breeze made sad havoc with them
if left loose. She would go where no
one would find her, and think it out.

vines and briars. She closed her eyes,

The man stepped respectfully aside,
with a look of amused perplexity on
his face. "Was this a wilful deed?"
ue asked.
"No, 't wasn't; I slipped, and you
might have stayed away so I could
have been hurt; I hate the sight of

tears filled her eyes.

The man seemed suddenly confused,
but finally stammered out, "Silas."
"Now sit here and tell me your
trouble, if 3-ou will."
"Well," she began, "you see papa
is just as good as gold, but some
thing has got holi of him lately, and
he wants me to marry an old man
with the horridest name. Say, haven't
you another name?"
The man reddened as he replied:
"Yes; Aaron."
A silvery peal of laughter floated up
the mountain side. "Why, isn't that
funny; that's the old man's name, too.
Aaron Woolbridge .forty; just think of
it. If I had been hurt maybe papa
would have felt so sorry tha; when
the old man comes to-morrow he
would send him away."
"Does forty seem to you so very
old?" queried the gentleman.
"O dear, yes! papa is sixty; I am
twenty, and papa has been old ever
since I can remember him. I wish. I
had been hurt just a little so I could
mako a fuss, but I haven't a scratch."
"Now, Miss Yates "
"Say, Lothia, it seems as if I had
known you always."
"Very well, Lothia. I am a medical
man, Dr. Aaron; you are generally
bruised. I will bandage your head,
your ankle and your arm, and will
convey you to a farm house nearby,
where I will arrange for you to re
main until sufficiently recovered to be
removed. Of course, the length of
time rests with yourself. In the mean
time you can communicate with this
old man and tell him your feelings;
perhaps, he may release you."
"That's capital," she cried, clapping
her hands.
Robert Yates was informed and
came to see his daughter daily, but
never mentioned her would-be suitor.
Hor letter, filled with bitter scorn and
loathing for an old man of forty, bear
ing such a horrid name, was duly
written and given to one of the farm
hands to post.
Time flew on the wings of the wind

"Must this ruse continue, or shall
we end it now?" he asked, gravely.
"I hardly think Mr. Woolbridge will
trouble you."
The doctor's pocket was bulging
with the mail he had just received.

HEROISM OF A WOMAN.
Proof Trias She is Capable cf Rising
to Sublime Heights.
Life constantly turns up facts which
are beyond all fiction. A few days
ago a case of destitution enlisted the
attention of the police. The husband
had stolen in order that his wife and
child might have food. Sympathy was
quickly enlisted, and work was offered
to the man.
But the police discovered a little too
much. The man, who had first seemed
to be a hero, was a bigamist and a
thief with a record. His claim that he
could find no employment was false.
He is now behind prison bars.
Still there was heroism in the inci
dent. The second wife., whom he had
deceived, was an honest and honorable
woman. She refused -to appease her
hunger from the profits of crime, how
ever desperate the circumstances
were. Her principles stood out in the
face of the severest temptation and
she still believed in her husband.
Heroism is line, but it seems a bit
finer when it is shown in an humble
instance and when the one who shows
it is a woman who trusts. Baltimore

The Rev. Henry Van Dyke is a very
good man, but he does love his little
joke, which makes him none the less
valuable as an agent for the better
ment of mankind. One day he went
to the shoemaker's with a pair of
Ehoes which had gona. clean out at
the bottom, and just benind him came
a friend who also was inclined to lev
ity at timer
"Ah," smiled the friend. "I Fiippose
you have come to the phoe-maker to
have your feet shod with righteous
ness?"
"Well, no," responded the doctor,
gravely handing the friend one of his
shoes for inspection. "I have always
believed in the immortality of the
sole, but it looks as though I might
be mistaken, doesn't it?"
"For Further' Particulars."
