The Atlantic Monthly for September
will' contain two important articles
bearing on the political campaign—one
on “The Election of the President” by
the historian John B. McMaster, and
the other a very striking paper on “The
Problem of the West” by Professor
Frederick J. Turner, of Wisconsin. He
traces the apparent Eastern and West
ern sectionalism and maintains that
the true American is the man of the
Middle West. The economic reasons
for a divergence of opinion, on the cur
f rency question for instance, are so
i clearly indicated that the article is par
I ticularly illuminating as a study of
opinion as shown in the present cam

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef
forts—gentle efforts—pleasantefforts—
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millionsof families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs 09 which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genaine^rti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one

physicians, but if in need of a laxative,

CHAPTER IV.—(Continued.)
•’Tom,” said Mr. Vertiiirf, lb athick,
broken voice. “I’m not going to he a
hypocrite, least of all with you. I have
not looked Into AtACbfa(t jplnise f baa
a young man. not lobe It.. Had
you brought me a Shakespeare, I should
have hailed It more gladly than a chest
of gold; but a Bible—keep It, Toot,.I do
not want a Bible.”
Tom had dropped his hold of the
chest ta , jClfusp* , the . little book,
closely t/hil bMhft* jkm ^es klowed;
his hotfeh *face * kttfdled *fhto en
thusiasm.
“What, sir, with all your learning
and knowledge you don’t understand
thb value of a Bible? Why I, that have
such a hard time a-spelling out the
words, knew its worth long ago. How
are we going to live here all alone on
this heathenish island? How are we
going to bring up two immortal souls
without a Bible? How are we going
to die and ship for a cruise that has no
return voyage? Oh, sir, I don’t be
lieve my own ears—how could you have
' lived hll these years without a Bible?”
A gloomy stare was his only answer.
"Poor sour,: poor soul!” continued
Tom, in a soothing, chiding voice, such
as he would have used to a wayward
child. No wonder you’ve been so sor
rowful and bqpighted. ’Pears to me
I see the Lord’s hand in this. He don’t
mean to lose so useful a servant as you
oughter be. He’s put you here'wbere,
your fine false books sha’n’t hurt, and
has left you only one to read. Mere it
is; take it—oh, sir, take it, fob Ipoor
Tom’s sake—for your boy’s rake.’'*^i r>'
Here Tom’s voice failed, and fairly
sobbing, he thrust the book into the
unwilling hand and darted into the
woods.
Mr. Vernon’s face was fairly ghastly
beneath his struggling emotions. Bid
ding the children help Tom unload the
raft, he turned and strode, not in Tom’s
direction, but toward the hills, into
whose verdurous depths his tall form
Bpeedily disappeared. They did not
see him again that day. Late in the
evening, when perturbed and anxious,
Tom was Just setting out to find him,
he made his appearance. The intense
brightness of tropic starlight showed
Tom' his face. It was like a sea over
which a storm had passed or a green
valley where a hurricane had swept.
There were traces of great struggles, of
mighty forces battling fiercely, scat
tered wrecks, uprooted growths of
many years’ mistakes and sin,. the
blackened mark of the lightning^
scathing, the exhaustion and weakness
of Intense excitement—but his eye
shone clear and bright, like the sun
that has dispersed the clouds; the air
was purified, the tempest over.
“Tom,” said he, holding out his hand,
"my brother, my best friend, your hand
has smitten the hard rock, and the
waters have gushed forth. Here is
your Bible. I will, read it every night,
and you Bhail teach us three children
its divine meaning, its holy encourage
ments, its beneficent forgiveness.”
Even as he spoke he staggered and
caught at a tree for support.
, “You .are weak and overcome,,, sir,”
skid Tom, anxiously. “YOU hare fasted
all day, I fear. Let me help you to the
house and give you a little of the
brandy.”
“Fasting and humiliation are for
■uch as me," answered he, “ but I be
lieve through your blessed influence the
light is breaking. Yes, let us go In.
Tonight, Tom, for the first time these
many years, I have prayed with my
whole heart and'strength and soul."
Nothing more was said, although;
Tom laid awake half the night listen
ing in sorrowful sympathy to the resj;*
less tossings, the stifled sighs andguah
ing tears that came from the baiahoQi
eouch behind him. Toward morning
he fell asleep, and when he awoke,
there, at the head of the other bed sat
Mr. Vernon,, his pale face no longer
cynical and’ gloomy, but irradiated with
peaceful joy, as he bent, utterly ab
sorbed, over the sacred volume.
"All right,” said Tom, Joyfully, as he
Slipped away noiselessly to find the
children busily following Mr.- Vernon’s
bint, and preparing a breakfast for
their slumbering friend.
■“We’ll have a little change shortly Jf*
said he, devouring, to their infinite
satisfaction, with much... relish, . thje
nicely-peeled bananas. ’ “I saw some
fine fish and lots o’ wild ducks yester
day; and, alongside of Walter’s pig, 1
calculate we’ll be ready for foul
'Weather. Plenty of work will keep us
. all busy and happy too, thank the
,Lord.”
Which communication was reiterated
when Mr. Vernon came out from their
log retreat and joined them on the
greed.
“Ah, sir,” said Tom, "I feel more
reconciled to this the more I think on’t.
Jest this beautiful spot is right for a
body to spend his last days in. We’ll
not be hankering after worldly goods
end forget to look to the Jiarbor we’re
MtifljUg' to,’'* ’ i? sbou'dn’t mind seeing'
old England again and my good sister
Honor. You see, sir, she and I was all
there was, and so we kinder sot more
by- on* another than common folks.
I’ll warrant the poor soul has cried her
eyes red many a night for wanting to
see me, and ’twill be a dreadful stroke
thing; ’taint so long, anyhow, this ’ere
life of ours. Besides, Honor's a mighty
smart woman: Bhe’U take care of tier
self and other folks too.] I wish jshe’d
a-had all the wages the ship owed me,
but, lawful heart, who kjiows—perhaps
the good'‘Lori's rewarded her jwlth
flreit thlrtg* bk this timg. I hope (he’ll
get a kind, good husband to makh my
place good. I ain’t giving to wtorry,
anyhow—I’ll be happy here where the
Lord’s put me.” i i
“You’ve always done eg. I suspcc|, my
brave-hearted Tom, and ja. useful lesson
diavoyfcujtgnflht me; angl here ndw is
tny hand to Jofh you nowin the bargain
—to do the best and bd the best we
can.” |. h , '
“Not most like for the sake o’ tliem,”
ventured Tom, nodding' toward.| the
children, "but for that?’—lifting] his
eyes reverently upward. | |
“Ay, for that,” answered Mr. Vernon,
grasping the outstretched hand. ; And
so the compact was sealed. |' • ■
Two months saw a great change In
our island. A newly-paved walk led
up from the water to tue] green; a com
fortable, commodious, If ’not luxurious,
dwelling peeped romantically from the
embowering ' vines whose luxuriance
bidthe roughnesqof the tog foundation.
Carefully tended flowers had be:n trans
planted to its little pldt, and within
the house was tastefully arranged the
pretty, ingenious bamboo furniture up
on which Tom was never tveary of des
canting, declaring that no one but Mr.
Vernon could have produced anything
’|p good to use and pretty jto look at.
I '’Everything that was saved from the
■•hip was used to deck the pretty parlor,
which was sometime to; be given up
entirely to Eleanor’s use; and there
was a shelf filled with the treasures
Tom had concealed until his quick per
ception was satisfied that they would
not be able to injure the preciousness
of Mr. Vernoh’s Bible—a Shakespeare,
a dictionary, an old history, and
“Faulkner’s Shipwreck,” besides a
quaint old-fashioned novel and ah al
manac that Tom declared to be Worth
all the rest.
Outside, just far enough to suit Mr.
Vernon’s fastidious taste—which Tom
respected, though he could not under
stand it—was the former’s especial
pride and delight, where he whiled away
in placid satisfaction maqy an idle half
hour—the pig-pen, whose unruly in*
habitant had been secured by strata
gem of war that had delighted Walter
hugely. Beyond that was set a targe
coop with some half a ; dozen wild
ducks, and in a pen built over a small
pqpl foun^if jjb the sun three or four
fat turtles.
Here was. Tom’s field of congenial
labor, although in no wise did he ne
glect any other branch o£ the business,
as Walter facetiously termed it. In
deed most industriously and tenderly
had he watched the few hills which he
had planted with the corn found mat
tered round the ship's hold—a forlorn
and hopeless task, as hie was finally
obliged to confess, for in that latitude
of prodigal javishness the hope and
comfort of sterile regions refused to
grow. r
Another useful task had the worthy
sailor performed; he had nailed the flag
caved from the sinking wreck—field
reversed as a signal of distress—upon
the top of the tallest tree on the hill
behind them, saying as he did so: ,
“There! If only one of our British
frigates get sight o’ the old flag calling
for hejp, I’ll be bound' they'll tack and
comfe many a knot out o’ the way to see
what’s wanted."
(
CHAPTER V,
EN years have
passed since the
"Petrel” lay a
broken wreck,
dashing to and fro,
on the coral reef of
the little island.
Still the patched
and yet tattered
flag floats off from
the cocoa tree on
the hill, and still
the little log dwelling, now enlarged,
and a perfect bower of glossy vine and
gorgeous blossom, stands beneath the *
grove of palm.and cocoanut. At the
door of the “Retreat”—a name Mr. Ver
flon hid given* it at first—sat that gen
tleman himself. Time had added sad
furrows to his forehead and scattered *
silver threads plentifully in his dark
hair, but the face itself was most essen
tially changed. Could that benlgh,
tranquil countenance belong to the cyn
ical misanthrope who railed at the fate
that saved him from a watery grave?
Ah, the well-worn book clasped in his
thin fingers betrays the secret of the
change. Tom’s Bible has become a
valued and abiding friend; the tempest
tossed spirit la moored safely to the ,
Rock of Ages, has found the peace that ,
the world cannot give and cannot take
away. Mr. Vernon’s eye was raised
quietly from the book as a merry whis
tle and measured tread broke the still
ness, while Tom—our same rough, (
bright-faced Tom—came trudging :
down the hill with a pole hung with
bread-fruit on his back.
“You are home early, Tom. Where
•re the children*”———^ y
"I didn’t have to go so fat. as I ex
pected. Walter has got a nicq string
of fleh, too—reg’lar beauties. I didn’t
_ _ but
reckon
Oh, the children, they stopped at the
rock Walter calls Nelly’s Throne, and
MI com* Along I me—well, no matter,
but I can’t help laughing to think
we’re calling them children. I begin
to think they're getting along to be
young folks mighty fast.”
Mr. Vernon started up and Bald hur
riedly, while a shade crossed bis fore
head: ' <
"I will go and meet them.”
“What’s the matter now, I wonder?”
soliloquized Tom, removing the odd af
fair, half hat, half turban, to wipe his
moist forehead. “I’m sure there's nb
need o' meddling with honest lofe
maklng; it’s lawful for a magistrate:to
marry a couple, and since we haln't a
parson, why won’t Mr. Vernon do jest
as well?” ’ v
Meanwhile Mr. Vernon had takeq a
path which led him up a Clift which;
jutted over the water. He paused a
moment in involuntary admiration of
the scene before him.
The huge white rock of coral forma
tion rose out of the embowering green
like a throne indeed, and. all around
It, catching here at a tiny stalk, there
at . a down-reaching branch, festooned
vines, whose brilllant-hued flowers
seemed like garlands flung at the feet
of royalty. Overhead canopied the
feathered spray of the inimitably
graceful palm tree, and below, far be
low, foamed the surf, dashing Its frothy
columns against the coral piers that sup-'
ported the rock, and above all spread
out the intense blue of a tropic sky*,
arching down afar off to meet the line
of distant pea. Yet it was not upon in
animate nature that Mr. Vernon's mild
gmjr eye dwelt so fondly, but
on the graceful living tableau
—the crowning charm upon the
coral rock—for there, sitting lightly
As a bird upon its perch, was a
slender, willowy form, not round
enough for childhood and too aerlai
for womanhood. A thin robe of thin
muslin, gathered by a girdle at the
lira let t dnnrn unnm tbn nnnir U ( il 1 *> >*
with an Illusive veil such rose-tinted,
naked feet—slipped clear from the
awkward sandal—as Aphrodite hersell
might have envied. The round white
arm, resting carelessly on the rock,
supported a head whose youthful gi ace
and loveliness no naiad's mirror evet
rivaled. The sunny ripples of curli
overflowed with their ring of bronzed
gold the vine that garlanded her head;
the clear eyes shone with a deeper blue
than the starry blossoms knotted In her
breast; the sweet lips mocked saucily
with their vivid carnation the pale rose
of the cheek. And this was little Elite!
The transformation was as marvelous
as that which changes the hard, dull
coll of green into the wonderful betuty
of the newly-opened rose.
No wonder there was a look of al
most idolatrous affection In the dark
eyes of the handsome youth who re
clined carelessly at her feet. A sigh
escaped Mr. Vernon aB with newly
opened eyes he read aright the lan
guage of his son’s face. For ten years
had these children been his pupils;
from his hand they had received the
Invigorating draughts of knowledge; In
his steps bad they followed to the out
skirts of the- immortal fountain of
Science; for them had he delineated
the beautiful Bights his artist’s aoul
drank in so eagerly; and, more than all,
tremblingly, solemnly had he knelt
with them before the Throne of Grace.
All hjs acquired gifts and natural gen
ius had been everted to the utmost to
itone to them for the deprivations of
their lot, and he, their- guide, their
teacher, their closest friend, had been
blind to their inner lives, and had
needed the voice of sharp-eyed Tom to
point it out to him.
, He strode a step forward, and then
paused again, for Eleanor was speak
ing. :
