Alas for Guy! he could not believe he

not how, but I cannot do this wrong to
Lucy. Away from me you will love her
again. You must Head this, Guy, then
say If you lan desert her."
She placed Lucy's letter in his band,
and Guy read It with a heart which nclied
and casting the letter aside he pleaded
again, this time with the energy ot de
spair, for he read his fate in Maddy's
face, and when her lips a second time
confirmed her first reply, while she ap
pealed to his sense of honor, of Justice, of
rieht and told him he could and must for
get her, he knew there was no hope, and.
man tbongh he was, bowed his bead upon
Maddy's bands and wept stormily. mighty,
choking sobs, which shook his frame, and
seemed to break up the very fountains
of hi life. Then to Maddy there came
a terrible temptation. Was it right for
two who loved as they did to live their
Uvea apart? right In her to force on Guy
the fulfillment of vows he could not lit
erally keep? Aa mental struggles are al
waya the more severe, ao Maddy's took all
her atrength away, and for many mln
ntea she lay so white and still that Guy
roused himself to care for her, thinking
of nothing except to make her better.
It was a long time ere that interview
ended, but when it did there was oa Mad
dy's face a peaceful expression which
only the sense of having done right at the
cost of a fearful sacrifice Could give, while
Guy's bore traces of a great and crush
ing sorrow as he went out from Maddy's
presence and felt that to him she was lost
forever. He had promised her he would
do right; had snld he would marry Lucy,
being to her what a husband should be
bad listened while she talked of another
world where they neither marry nor are
given in marriage, and where It would
not be sinful for them to love each other,
and aa she talked her face had shone like
the face of an angel.
For many days after that Guy kept his
room, saying ne was sick, ana reiusing
to anyone save Jessie and Mrs. Noah,
th9 latter of whom guessed In part what
... . -V ' , , -
bad happened, and imputing to him far
more credit than he deserved, petted and
pitied and cared for him until he grew
weary of it and said to her savagely :
"You needn't think me so good, for I am
not I wanted Maddy Clyde, and told ber
0, but she refused me and made me prom
ise to marry Lucy; so I'm going to do
that very thing going to England in a
few weeks, or as soon aa Maddy Is bet
ter, and before the sun of this year sets
I shall be a married man."
After this all Mrs. Noah's sympathy
was In favor of Maddy, the good lady
making more than one pilgrimage to
Bonedale, where she expended all her ar
guments trying to make Maddy revoke
Bar decision! but Maddy was firm In
what she deemed right, and as her health
began alowly to improve, and there was
no longer an excuse for Guy to tarry, he
gave out in the neighborhood that he was
at last to be married, and started for
England the latter part of October, as
unhappy and unwilling a bridegroom, it
may be, as ever went after a bride.
CHAPTER XXI.
Maddy never knew how she lived
through those bright, autumnal days,
when the gorgeous beauty of decaying
nature seemed so cruelly to mock her an
rulsh. At last there came to her three
letters, one from Lucy, one from the doc
tor, and one from Guy himself. Lucy's
he opened first reading of the sweet
' lrl'i great happiness In seeing her darl
Itk boy aarain, of her sorrow to find him

Lis extreme kindness to her, hla careful
study at her wants, and evident anxiety
to please her in every respect. On this
Xscy dwelt until Maddy'a heart aeemed
to leap up and almost turn over In Its
Casing, ao fiercely It throbbed and ached
with anguish.
The doctor's next waa opened, and
Maddy read with blinding tears that

pang of disappointment, or a aenae of
Wrong done to her, aha could not tell
which. Dr. Dolbrook waa to be married
the earns day with Lucy, and to Lucy's
alster, Margaret
"Maggis, I call her," he wrote, Hbe
suss that name Is so tnnch like my first
love, Maddy, who thought I was too old
to be ber husband, and ao made me very
Wretched for a time, until I met and knew
Margaret Atheratone. I have told her

that I think you did quite right. Detter
that one should suiter than two, and
Loot's la a nature which will forget far
ooner than yours or Guy's. I pity you
all."
This almost killed Maddy ; she did not
love the doctor, but the knowledge that
be waa to marry another added to her
miser, while what he said of her decis
Ion was the climax of the whole. IUd
ber sacrifice been for nothing? Would it
bavs been better if she Imd not sent
Guy away? It was anguish unieakuhlo
to believe so, and the shadowy woods
never echoed to so bitter a cry of pnin at
that with which she laid her head 011 the
ground, end for a brief moment wUhcl
that she might die.
There was Guy's letter yet to rend, and

bosom, started for the cottage, meeting on
the way with Flora, who waa seeking for
her in great alarm. Uncle Joseph had
had a fit, she said, and fallen unoa the
floor, cutting his forehee.d badly against
the sharp point of the stove. Hurrying
on, Maddy found that what Flora bad
aald was true, and sent immediately for
the .physician, who came at once, but
shook his head doubtfully as he examined
his patient. There were all the symp
toms of fever, he said, bidding Maddy
prepare for the worst Nothing In the
form of trouble could particularly affect
Maddy now, and perhaps it was wisely
ordered tint L'ncle Joseph's Illness should
take ber thoughts from herself. From the
very first be refused to take his medicines
from anyone save her or Jessie, who,
with her mother's permission, stayed alto
gether at tho cottage, and who, as Ouy's
lstcr, was a great comfort to Maddy.
As the fever Increased, and Uncle Jo
seph grew more and more delirious, his
cries for Sarah were hcArt-rending, mak
ing Jessie weep bitterly as she wild to
Maddy :
"If I knew where this Sarah was I d
go miles on foot to find her and bring
her to him."
Something like this Jessie said to ber
mother when she went for a day to Aik-
eniide, asking her in conclusion If she
thought Sarah would go.
Perhaps, and Agnes brushed abstract
edly her long, flowing hair, winding it
around her Jeweled fingers, and then let
ting the soft curls fall across ber snowy
arms.
"fVbere do you suppose she Is?" was
Jessie's next question ; but if Agnes knew
she did not answer, except by reminding
her little daughter that it was past her
bedtime.
Tbe next morning Agnes' eyes were
very red, as if she had been wakeful the
entire night, while her white face fully
warranted the headache she professed to
have.
"Jessie." she said, as they sat together
at fhelr breakfast, "I am going to Hone-
dale to-day, going to see Maddy, and shall
leave you here."
Agnes waa not the same woman whom
we first knew. All hope of the doctor had
long alnce been given np, and aa Jessie
grew older the mother nature was strong
er within her, subduing ber selfishness,
and making ber far more'gentle and con
siderate for others than she had been be
fore. To Maddy she was exceedingly
kind, and never more so in manner than
now, when they sat together talking in
the humble kitchen at the cottage.
"You look tired and sick," she said.
'Your cares have been too much for one
not yet strong. I will sit by him till he
wakes, and you go to bed."
Tery gladly Maddy accepted the offered
relief, and utterly worn out with her con
stant vigils, she was soon sleeping sound
ly in her own room, while Flora, in the
little shed, or back room of the house,
was busy with her Ironing. Thus there
was none to follow Acnes as she went
slowly into the sick room where Uncle
Joseph lay, his thin face upturned to the
light and hla lips occasionally moving as
he muttered in his sleep. There was a
strange contrast between that wasted im
becile and vhat proud, queenly woman,
but she could remember a time wken In
ber childish estimation be was the embodi
ment of every manly beauty, and the
knowledge that be loved her, his sister's
little hired girl, filled her with pride and
vanity. A great change had come to them
both since those days, and Agnes, watch
ing him and smothering back the pain
which arose to ber lips at sight of him,
felt that for the fearful change in him
she was answerable. Intellectual, talent
ed, admired and sought by all he bad
been once ; he was a mere wreck now, and
Agnes' breath came In short, quick gs.spn,

said, pityingly: "Poor Joseph."
The touch awoke him, and starting np
he stared wildly at her, while some mem
ory of tbe past seemed to be struggling
through the misty clouds, obscuring bis
mental vision.
"Who are you, lady? Who, with eee
and hair like hers?"
I'm tbe 'madam' from Alkenside,"
Agues aald, quite loudly, as Flora passed
the door. Then when she waa cone ahe
added, softly: "I'm Sarah Sarah Agnea
Morris."
It seemed for a moment to burst upon
him In its full reality, and to her dying
day Agnes would never forget tbe look
upon bis face, the smile of perfect hapui
ness breaking through the rain of tears.
the love, the tenderness mingled with dis
trust which that look betokened aa he
continued gaaing at her, but said to her
not a word. Again her hand rested on bis
forehead, and taking It now in bis be held
It to the light laughing Insanely at its
soft whiteness; then touching the costly
diamonds which Bashed upon him the
rainbow hues, he said : "Where's that lit-
tls ring I bought for you?"
She bad anticipated this, and took from
her pocket a plaln gold ring, kept until
that day where no one could find It, and
holding It up to blm, said : t'Here It Is.
Do you remember it?
"Yes, yes, and his lips began to quiver
with a grieved, Injured expression. "He

they stiid that I was mad, when I wai

I, darling?"
His arm was around her neck, and ha
drew her down until his lips touched bets.
And Agues suffered It. She could no
return the kiss, but she did not turn away
treni him, aud she let biia caress her hair,
iiiid wind it round his liners, whispering
'luis is like Sarah's you're Sarah, are
you not ;
"Ves, I am Sarah," sho would answer,
while the smile so painful to sec would
ngaiu break over his face as he told how
much he had uilsscd ber, and asked it bin
hid not come to stay till he died.
Iheres something wrong," he said
a uic.jo,iy ucaa, and seem. as It evme
b'Miy else wanted to die as 'if Maddy
died ever since the Lord Governor went
away. lo you kuow Governor Guy?"
"I am his stepmother," Agues replied,
whereupon l'ncle Joseph laughed so long
and (uiid that Maddy awoke, and, alarm
ed by tbe noise, came down to see what
a as the matter.
Ague did,' not hear ber, and aa she
rtached . the doorway, she started at ' tba
strangs position of the parties-Uacle
Joseph suU wo-ttbinjj the curia wMob
raoped over blm, and Agnes saying to
blmt "You beard his name waa Reming
ton, did you not James Remington?"
Like a sndden revelation It came upon
Maddy, and she turned to leave, when
Agne, lifting ber head, called her to come
In. She did so, and standing at tbe oppo
site side of the bed, she said, question
lngly: "You are Sarah Morris?"
For a moment the eyelids quivered, then
the neck arched proudly, as If It were a
thing of which she was not ashamed, and
Agnes answered : "Yes, I was Sarah Ag
nes Morris; once for three months your
grandmother's hired girl, and afterward
dopted by a lady who gave me what edu
cation I possens, together with that taste
for high life which prompted me to jilt
your Lncle Joseph when a rlcner man
than he offered himself to me."
That was all she said all that Maddy
ever knew of her history, aa It was rever
referred to again except that evealng,
hen Agnes said to her, pleadingly :
Neither Guy nor Jessie nor anyone need
now what I have told you."
"They shall not," was Maddy's reply;
nd from that moment the past, so far as
Agnes waa concerned, was a sealed page
to both. With this bond of confidence
between them, Agnes felt herself strange
ly drawn toward Maddy, while, if It were
possible, something of her olden love was
renewed for the helpless man who clung
to her now instead of Maddy, refusing to
let her go; neither bad Agnes any dispo-
itlon to leave him. She should stay to
the last, so she said; and she did, taking
Maddy's place, and by her faithfulness
nd care winning go I dun laurels In the
pinion of the neighbors, who marveled at
first to see so gay a lady at Uncle Joseph's
bedside, attributing it all to her friend
ship for Maddy, just as they attributed
his calling her Sarah to a crazy freak.
She did resemble Sarah Morris a very lit
tle, they said ; and in Maddy's presence
they sometimes wondered where Sarah
was, repeating strange things which they
had heard of her ; but Maddy kept the
secret from everyone, so that even Jessie
never suspected why her mother stayed
day after day at the cottage, watching
nd waiting until the last day of Joseph's.
life. . .'Cit '.:rZ
She was alone with him then, so that
Maddy never knew what passed between
them. She bad left them together for an
hour, while she did some errands ; and
when she returned Agnea met her at the
door, and with a blanched cheek, whis
pered : "He is dead ; he died in my arms,
blessing yon and me ; do you hear, bless-
ng me I Surely my sin is now forgiven?"
CHAPTER XXII.
There was a fresh grave made In tbe
churchyard and another chair vacant at
the cottage, when Maddy was at last
lone. Unfettered by care and anxiety
for sick ones, her aching heart was free
to go oat after the loved ones over the
sea, go to the elm-shaded mansion ahe bad
heard described so often, and where now
two brides were busy with their prepara
tions for tbe bridal hurrying on so fast
Since the letter read in the smoky Octo
ber woods, Maddy had not heard from
Guy directly, though Lucy had written
ince, a few brief lines, telling how hajpy
she was, how strong she was growing, and
how much like himself Guy was becom-
ng. Guy had left no orders for any
changes to be made at Aikenside ; but
Agnes, who was largely imbued with
a love of bustle and repair, had Insisted
that at lust the suiie of rooms Intended
for the bride should be thoroughly reno
vated with new paper and paint, carpets
and furniture. This plan Mrs. Noah op
posed, for she guessed bow little Guy
would care for the change; but Agnes waa
resolved, and she had great faith in
Maddy's taste, she, insisted that she
should go to Alkenside and pass her
udgement upon the improvements. It
would do her good, she said little dream-
ng bow much it cost Maddy to comply
with her wishes, or how fearfully tbe
poor, crushed heart ached, as Maddy went
through the handsome rooms fitted np for
Guy's young bride : but Mrs. Noah guess
ed it all, pitying so much the white-faced
girl, whose deep mourning robes told the
loss of dear ones by death, but gave no
token of that great loss, tenfold worse
than death.

of the State, who Is a writer of prose
and verse, also says the old "darky's"
tendency to overestimate everything
that comes out of Tennessee always re
minds him of the little Inn In Cupar
Flfe, Scotland, called the "Battlo of
Waterloo," where the slffn, which Is
supposed to represent the battle, shows

It must not be supposed that Uncle

Governor declares.
Not long ago the old man went to
see one of the great horses of the day
race against time. He spent a blissful
day at tbe track and In tbe paddock,
and the next morning appeared at the
ex-Governor's office to talk It over.

HEADACHES.
Pointers About Principal Pavln That
Prods Many Persons.
Leaving out the severe headaches
thnt iii-company the onset of certain
acute Infectious fevers, such as ty
phold or smallpox, let us consider the
first group, composed of the common
est of all headaches, like those follow
lug disturbances of the stomach, liver
iiiul digestive tract in general. Here
the coated tongue, pallid complexion
and the history of gastric symptoms
nnd sluggish actiou of the eliminating
functions of the body make diagnosis
easy. The pain In this group is near
ly always lu the front of the head,
mid is equally felt on both sides.
The ordinary household headache
remedies mid pills, which aid at a
g-.-neral stimulation of sluggish organs,
urc suited for this group, and will us
ually be ull thut is required to effect
a cure.
'1 he second common group, which
naturally will' not respond to remedies
stimulating the digestive and eliminat
ing appitriitus of the system, Is made
up or the headaches that accompany
anemia.
Arciula may be due to many causes,
and the deficiency may be in the quan
tity or quality of the blood colls, but
In all cusea of this disease headaches
ore a very ordinary symptom, and
they are quite impossible to cure until
the disease itself Is conquered. In
this group the pain is generally on top
or at the back of the bead, and the
only relief from tbe pain Is found by
lying down.
This la quite what one might axpact
whan It la understood that ta caoaa
of tbt pain la a deficient supply of
blood to the brain. It Is quite useless
to attack such headaches with drugs
directed at the alimentary canal, or
with bralu or nerve sedatives. The
cause Is the Ill-conditioned blood, and
tho patient should at once be exam
ined by a physician, who will pre
scribe medicine directed at improving
the condition of tho blood.
A third group which corresponds
somewhat with the last mentioned Is
met with In young people of neuras
thenic or hysterical habit. The cause
of these headaches Is probably the
same as In group two, for highly ner
vous, neurotic Individuals 1 -e almost
universally anemic as well. The
treatment here would be the same; &
long course of some blood tonic con
taining combinations of iron, arsenic
or strychnine, according to the find
ings of the physician after a miscro-
seop Ideal examination of the blood.
The fourth group Is composed of the
toxic headaches. Many thousands of
people suffer continually from head
ache, and lay tbe blame on some ob
scure, non-dlagnosable cause, when, In
reality, they are simply poisoning
themselves dally by taking some sub
stance which In different cases may le
coffee, tea, tobacco, alcohol or other
articles In themselves ordinarily tak
en ns food and drink, but in these par
ticular cases rank poison.
Hence, if no other likely cause for
continuous attacks of headache can
be found It is well carefully to exam
ine the diet It is well to cut off at
once all four articles of diet mention
ed above. Then, if freedom from head
aches is the result, the one to blame
can easily bo discovered If they be
taken back into the diet one after an
other in turn. -.. ..
The paroxysmal headaches compose
the fifth group. These are usually
causel By growths within the brain or
pressing upon the brain, nere the
giddiness, continuous nausea and per
haps paralysis will suggest the seri
ousness of the case, which, ,should e
at once put under a physician's care.
The dlstrlbuflon"ofthe pain, here, is
of no guidance, as it naturally de
pends on the "position of growth.
The headaches that make up the
sixth group are those of the mlgrane
type- Nothing, perhaps, causes more
complete prostration or more frightful
suffering than such a headache. For
the sufferer is- not, usually worn down
by Illness to such an . extent that his
perceptions of pnin are dulled; on tho
other hand, he is usually suddenly
stricken down when in ordinary good
health. The cause of this type of
headache has been studied most care
fully by scientists of all nations of
late years, and the conclusion has
been reached that almost Invariably
such headaches are associated with
eye strain, and that when the ten
dency to eye strain is removed the
headuches will no longer occur. ,
DANCES OF THE "KANSAS.
Jacklea of Battleship Allowed
the
PrlTlleae of Good Conduct.
With dancing on the battleships ns
the attraction Sunday, upward of 40,
000 persons, young and old, visited
League Island navy yard. It was the
largest Sunday crowd In the navy yard
for many years, says the Philadelphia
North American.
Ministers of the city protested sev
eral weeks ago against football play
ing by the sailors In League Island
navy yard, a letter being sent to Sec
retary of trie Navy Victor II. Metcaif.
There was little football playing there
Sunday, being merely a little practice
playing, and the dance was the fea
ture of the day.
So great wns the Jam on the battle
ship Kansas, where the main dance of
the afternoon was held, that at times
it was impossible to ascend the gang
plank and get within sight of the
dancing floor, on the port side of the
main deck.
The novelty of a Sunday dance on a
battleship In Philadelphia was such
that It seemed beyond belief to the
young women friends of the Jackles.
Dancing on Sunday Is conditional
upon the good behavior of the men of
the slilp during tbe week, as well as
upon the conduct of visitors to the
dance floor.
Until "two bells" sounded the dan
cing was kept up. Then, suddenly,
the music stopped nnd the dancers
hurried from the deck floor, the visit
ors scampering down the gangplank
with a hasty good-bye to the sailor
boys.
"Will yon come again next Sun
day?" the boys in bine shouted to their
friends.
"Sure and certainly," was the cor
dial reply.
Onlr Marked It Out.
A lovelorn youth had quarreled with
his ladylove, and with bitter, angry
words they parted, and he decided that
life was no longer worth living. Ab
ruptly' turning Into a barber's he sat
in a vacant chair and calmly requested
the barber to cut his throat Tbo bar
ber acquiesced and, tucking the cloth
round his neck, fixed the head rest so
that the customer's chin was well ele
vated. Then, drawing a stout pin from
the corner of his waistcoat and hold
ing It firmly between his finger and
thumb, he drew the pin quickly across
the neck of the man. Immediately,
with a scream worthy of a red Iudian,
the desimlrlng one leaped from the
chair, shouting:
"Surely, surely you have not done
it?"
"Oh, no. sir!" said the barber. "Sit
down again, sir. I've only marked it
out !" Pearson's Weekly.

la One lllork of Mfir York Are 4,000
' Factory Worker.
There is congestion of Industries and
factories, ns well ns congestion of pop
ulation In New York, soys the Sun.
The committee on congestion of popu
lation has been making Interesting
study from the records of the depart
ment of labor of the state of the loca
tion of factories and the number of
factories and workers to tbe acre In
the assembly districts of Manhattan.
The significant fact was brought out
that 12 per cent of the fuctics nnd
11.7 per cent of tho workers are pack
ed into 1.3 per cent of the area of
Mauhatt.in in the sixth assembly dis
trict, with Its ISO acres, bounded by
Kast 4th street, 3d avenue. St. Mark's
place, 2d avenue, 2d street. 1st avenue,
Houston, Eldridge. Stanton, Chrystle,
Mlviston streets. Bowery, Canal street
and Broadway.
This assembly dislrlct Immediately
adjoins the Sib and p;th assembly dis
tricts, which are the most densely, pop
ulated of any lu Manhattan, with over
019 jH'oplp to the acre.
Mniilinttiiti 1ms lO.r.iiO fnctorL; and
Ml.SoO workers In these factories, wltb
an acreage of 14.038. The Bronx has
r42 factories only and 18,143 workers
sprinkled through its area of 20,017
acres, less than on; worker to the
acre, ns ngainst twenty-four to the
acre in Manhattan.
The department of labor gives the
following nunilier of factories and em
ployes In the other boroughs of Great
er New York : Brooklyn, 4.S00 facto
ries, with J21.S22 employes; Queens,
422 factories, with 2H.1S0 employes;
Richmond, 173 factories, with 7,084
employes. ,--.sr.
It IS when one makes a dividing lino
between upper and -lower Manhattan
nt 14th street that the true significance
of the crowdliig""of factories in. lower
Mnnhattnn Is evidenced, for In this
area, roughly cut off nt 14th street,
323.000 workers are located In about
2,700 ncres.
As the acme of density is the block
bounded by West Houston, Prince and
Crosby streets and Broadway, with 97 '
per cent of its site covered with build
ings, a density of 1,210 workers to the
acre, and with a total of 4,000 people
working in the block during 1900, the
year for which all the data are taken.
large proportion of the buildings In
this block are twelve stories high.
Another fact of significance Is that
In this hook the assessed value of
nd, according to the report of the de
partment of taxes and assessment, was
$1,123,848. or $23.CS a square foot.
Does It pay to manufacture where
land costs this rate? Who pays the
additional rent on the laud, and could
factories easily remove to other bor
oughs? These are some of the ques
tions which the committee suggests as
a result of Its studies.
OPERATED BY ELECTRICITY.
Fender Can Be Inntoullr Dropped
to Ground to Pick lp Victim.
In an electrically operated street car
fender, rwently designed, n Colorado
man comes very close to providing one
which will actually serve the purpose
for whloh It Is Intended. It Is uni
versally known that the majority of
he fenders now used are a farce and
FENDEB DROPS CLOSE TO THf GROUND.
utterly useless when put to the test
This can be accounted for by reason
of the common custom of supporting
the fender too high above the ground
so that It will be sure to clear all ob
structions. In emergencies, when the
fender Is needed to prevent injury to
a person accidentally caught on the
track. It proves valueless, rolling over
the unfortunate instead of picking blm
up. The fender shown here Is normal
ly supported about a foot above the
ground. When the motorman sees a
person on the track and Is unable to
stop the car in time to avoid an acci
dent he releases a convenient handle
on the dashboard and tiie fender drops
to within an inch or two of the ground.
It Is thus In a position to pick up the
victim Instead of passing over him.
Electricity is employed to operate tha
movement of the fender.
Hnndoiu Knowledge.
To substitute acquired common
sense, knowledge and rctleetlon for tha
cruder and tardier processes of learn
lug by hard personal experiences and
mistakes, is, of course, the object of
all education. In "From Sail to Steam"
dipt. A. T. Malum says that a student
reciting, and confronted suddenly wltb
some question or step in u demonstra
tion, which lie has failed to master, or
upon which he bus not reflected, is apt
to feel that the practical thing to do is
not to admit ignorance; to trust to luck
and answer at random.
