But I resolutely kiss her and leave her weeping. 1 feel ill at ease and often look back as long as the house Is vis ible. But It Is quite dark yet in the early morning and I soon lose sight of It. I pluck up my pirit3 thinking of the acquisition of the coveted eighty acres. Now I am passing it. It is a forlorn place all weeds aad under brush. How beautiful in own well cared for farm is, in contrast with this junele. I bare scarcely tet foot on It since my father's death. I have asked Gerald to do something toward developing it, But he has been too deeply in debt and in liquor. I have often offered to help him; hut be has savagely declined such oer&. Tlw laud has been a source of trouble between us and Its dark and forbidding aspect s not brightened by these recollec tions. I hurry by. I soon come to the crossing. The day s already breaking. I take to the rail way track, as It will save me nerrly half a mile of walk to the station. The deep cfcls or elevated banks indicate the undulations of the country aad the road turns right and left. Knowing the times of the trains, I Lave no fear of their approaching me unawares. By and by, I have the feeling that someone is following me- I loak back along the track, yet dim in thti morn ing light, but no one is in siht. There are so many turns in the road that I cannot see the track more than a hun dred yards from where I uosr am. Al though I am brave, the cz i il of li'..rt that comes to rae is appalling. Alone, the world asleep, I begin to fear. Walk- ng swiftly on, my boots clicking on the ties. I am soon lor In half re morseful, half uetermined thoughts and, only when I hear latorcd breath ing, do I turn quick iy around and see a man within twenty yards of me with upraised hand in which :;. :t c lub. He is running toward me. Fright takes? possession of my linijs tni I cannot escape. Helpless 1 await him. His club is descending and ah; br- rth all liquor-laden 13 on my fa'-e 2nd his ?vil bloodshot eyes are those of a devil and ! bis face Is that of Gerald ?.nd I hear his words, "How I hfUe yen!" and soe a flutter of white up the track and know no more. It is nighb I rem?mbir and know nothing. At my right is a thicket of currant bushes; there is a tree; here is a clump of grass. Farther off. is a house and there are lights in some of the lower windows. Still farther off. I see the low line ot sky ju: beginning to turn gray. I lie here, dazed, wait ing for the morning. How I came here I do not know. It v. ill soon be day and I will go to the hous- and ask mv way. But I know that house! That is my no does it not belong to me? Who am I? A horribh? strangling draws my hand to my throat and I fiad It covered with hair. What is this? I never wear a beard. Have I been asleep? Is this some Iiip Van Winkle illusion? And my clothes they are so old and worn. They are some of my old no, someone gave them to me. Who? Steve Warren, my brother, and I am I I am Gerald, the Drunkard! I am now thoroughly aroused bv this realization and the agony of it. I sit up and, a3 by instinct, my hand goes to the inner pocket of my vest and closes around a bottle. Although it is so dark I can hardly see. yet the liquor that the bottle contains is beau tiful to my eyes. But that convulsive clutching is at my tnroat again. My .aws are set; my cheeXK are aflame; my eyes are half closed. I pour the contents down my buraiag throat. With music ringing in my ears: with glorious forms hovering round me; wiui teaven lust at hand I forest that I am Gerald, the Drunkard. See! The door is op.?nins oa the veranda and the lamp throws a bright glare oa the gravel walk and the liiac bushes near by. A man. ray brother. Steve Warren, steps out and there stands his wife, Nellie, holding the lamp wita one hand and with the other on his arm. They are tail ing I can not near their words. He kisses her; I shudder with a spasm of jealousy and hatred; she is weep'n;?. Then he walks down the path, and until the gate at the road is closed, the light streams out into the nrgu and she stands there. hr face sad, but il lumined .gazing after her husband. Then the door closes and I aru here crouching, listening. Presei tlv it opens again and she ieers o;:l. 33 though oping to see him returning. Then. half mad with what I have seen and with the fiery linuid in me. I Rnrfn? forward anI am by ber side She is terribly frightened and screr.ms so fbriily that I fear he will hear her and return. "What is the matter? Has he left you? What are you rying for'" These and a dozen like incoherent questions I pour Into her ears. Then, hurriedly. the tells me where Stephen is going and I understand ail his plan. The man I hate is going to f tcal my land. 1 will kill him. I run down the walk and wrench off a picket from the fence. I see a hundred lands pointing from every turn in the road and they all point in the direction of my brother. As I run by my farm. I hear a role crying "Kill him!" I am soon on the railroad track and I se him ahead of me, walking swirtly with head do-n. But I am swifter and I almost laugh at his helplessness. I am close to him now and he looks around. He is rooted to the spot. My club will cruah him like a shell. Idy speed, as I bear down upon him. ts irresistible. W ith a cry of wild delisht at the suc cess of my chase and with demoniacal strength, I bring the heavy picket down oa his head with ail my might atd he sinks to the ground and I spurn him where he lies. There is a wom an coming toward us running along the track atd I drop my weapon and, vaulting the fence at oie side of thq track, run like the wind. A thousand writhing shapes and torments are with rae tow and they whisper "He is dead! Ha. ha. ha! You have killed him!" and I run until I can ren no longer. From sickness, from death, from hell. I slowly regain my former self. How I shudder at the thought of wak ing up as Gerald. God spares my life and reason and. this afternoon, I am lying In my room, weak and woefully bandages. The whole terrible dream Is still in my mind. I am aroused bv ft step n?ar the bed. I cannot eee and ' begin to tremble. Bat I can hear, tnd never did a wife's voice Found eter than dors Nellie's. She is all tenderness; she kisses my forehead, am.' my face and neck turu hot under the saress. ij T i the band3S9 fmin my eyes. Her voice breaks as she tells ms in a whisper, "There is no bandage over your eyes." "Then I am blind," is my agonized cry. I hear her softly weeping. After a time, I ask her to read to me. She reads some local news and, among other things, I hear this: "Mr. Gerald Warren, younger ion of the late Stephen L. Warren, sr., former owner of Tanglewood, died at St. Luke's in Wolverton, where he was removed last Saturday. He never re gained consciousness and died in con vulsions. "He was nearly twenty-five years of age and, but for his fatal addiction to the liquor habit, would, with his ac complishments and abilities have made a mark in the world." She reads on, and another paragraph is noticeable: "Stephen L. Warren, jr., proprietor of the Tanglewood farm, is reported out of danger. All efforts to appre hend his unknown assailant have so far been unsuccessful." The eighty acres adjoining Tangle wood are still covered with rank growths of weeds and brush. I have not the heart to attempt its improve ment although it is now my own; nor have I the ability. For I am still blind and always shall be. I try to be patient under my burden; sometimes I think it greater than I can bear. Like Cain of old, I cry out, "Am I my brother's keeper?" Perhaps on my sightless eyes, God has placed ha mark of murderer. A Social Utilitarian J. Has a? Pence. The strains of the Zenda Waltzes floated through the hall. Mabel Gray apparently paid little attention to what was going on, but not a thing escaped her observation. A timorous young man stepped hesitatingly to her side and stammered out a request that he be allowed the "pleasure oi the dance." His voice trembled as though he were dismayed at his own boldness, but a cheerful smile and silent acquiescence to his request made his face radiant. She noticed this and smiled again. She had also noticed the other man across the room. She saw his impulsive move ment in her direction and the frown that flitted for a moment across his face. Then she smiied again. The r.miie produced another frown and the frown another smile. George Powell was an excellent dancer and during the waltz lost much of his embarrassment. .He had seen the smiles and was happy. But he had not seen the frowns. He thought only of the months that had passed since" he had seen Mabel and remem bered that at their last meeting she had, or, at least, it seemed to him that ?he had, shown a decided indifference to his coming and going. But now well, she had deigned to notice that he was on earth and in that he rejoiced. He could scarcely believe it, but while he was lost in the thought the sweet voice of his partner added another con firmation. "It has been a long time since we have seen much of you and this seems like old times. Where have you been keeping yourself?" "Oh, nowhere. That is, I have not been away. I've been working hard, that's all." "It's so like you to separate j-ourself from your friends ana let your busi ness monopolize you. You will be an old man betore you reacn middle age. But you always were serious and never did care tor the frivolities of life. Still I suppose you have reaped the reward of diligence and devotion to duty?" He was silent some moments and then witn more than a touch of signi ficance in his voice he replied: "Not until this evening.'' She understood perfectly and with consummate tact, changed the subject. He was not diplomat enough to return to it and another partner claimed her for tne next dance, but the sun had shone after a long, long eclipse and he scarcely thought it worth while to be jealous of the man who, for the time, had taken her away from him. His jaze fo'iowed her graceful evolutions about the hall until, by merest acci dent, he noticed the Other Man still standing aloof and still doing his best to conceal an occasional frown. Even this did not disturb him a great, deal. He had known the Other Man for a lor.g time and had never liked him. Now, to see him annoyed was full re compense for his brief separation from the shrine of his divinity and he be ;;an to enjoy the game of smiles and frowns. Soon after the dance he was again at her side and she was as gracious as before. He had been out of the social whirl so long that its doings and say ings were news to him while she was, or at least had the grace to pretend to be, very much interested in his busi ness. In fact it was a cozy little chat they hael before they were again inter rupted and it was accompanied by oc casional frowns from across the hall. But there are annoyances in every joy. George's long absence from such scenes made him something of a novel ty and others claimed his attention. Besides his actions had already occa sioned remark. Not a few . kindly friends twitted him about his repre hensible attempt at monopolization and one or two seriously advised him to be generous and "give someone else a chance." Thus, though he hated to do so, he spent an hour "in circulation," reviving old acquaintances and joking, flirting and dancing as though the suc cess or failure of the evening depended upon the. number of persons he met and conversed with. After this penance duty he felt that he had a right to return to Mabel, but when he looked about for her she was not to be found. A number of friends noticed this and whispered. It was late and thinking that she had gone the evening had no more interest for him. He wandered aimlessly about tor a while, grumpy and disappointed, aad finally determined to go home. As he passed out he heard familiar voices in front of him. He started and stepped nearer to investigate. Yes, it was she and she was with the Other Man. Furthermore it was evident from their manner that neitlier objected to being with the other. They did not know of his approach. :'I was afraid to declare myself," said the Other Man, supremely ignorant cf Ih fact that every word was over beard, "but that stick, Powell, made me so desperately jealous I would have risked anything." "Don't call the poor boy names," re plied Mabel. f'I confess it WRS eot bis - - v r ,r YT i 1 ' ' i 1 t'nele Dob's Hnilatone Story. ' "An old countryman I used to know -when I was living In south Georgia," remarked a college professor apropos of sudden changes in the weather, "was in at least one respect a very re markable character. To a casual lis tener he appeared to be a fluent and unconscionable liar, yet when you came to scrutinize any of his statements closely it was impossible to .catch him in the slightest deviation from the truth." "One day In early spring we had an unusually eerere fall of hall, and next morning while driving down the road with a friend we happened to encoun ter the old fellow at his gate. 'Well, Uncle Bob,' I said, that was a pretty bad hailstorm we had yesterday.' I should say it was,' be replied. Yon just oughter seed some of the " stones that come down in my back yard.' 'How big were they?' I asked. 'Bout as big as small watermelons,' said he. 'Well, we've caught him in a whopper at last,' chuckled my friend as we drove on. 'No, we haven't,' I groaned. 'As usual the old rascal has secured all the advantage of a fine, large lie and at the same time has adhered rigid ly to the truth. Look at that vine. "An early watermelon vine was fes tooning the bottom rail of a fence by the roadside, and here and there it waa studded with minute green spheres about the size of gooseberries. My friend made no comment. I never tried to catch Uncle Bob again." New Or leans Times-Democrat. An Arab's Parlor. A woman traveler in Egypt Is amaz ed at the dearth of the natives' house hold goods, says a correspondent of the Chicago News. There is little furniture because the Arab needs little. His life is spent out of doors, and he can sleep in any handy gutter as peaceably and happily as a child, while most of his meals are eaten in the open air. In one exceptionally luxurious house, that of a charwoman, the traveler found a parlor. It was regarded as a sort of shrine by Fatima. She had made it a fttich, devoting to its embel lishment all the money she could spare and sacrificing to it even her children's wants. The visitor was shown through a broken down doorway into a squalid passage, where two rooms at either end revealed perspectives of greater squalor beyond. Children teemed from every entrance. Arrived at the holy of holies, the door had to be unlocked. It was a brand new Birmingham lock. Distant Manchester had supplied a carpet blaz ing with roses and small creton cur tains of brilliancy to match. Such things are In Cairo called "fellah" (vul gar), as none but f ellahin are found to be purchasers of them, but poor Fa tiuaa's horrors are not yet quite cata logued. From some common shop in the Muski she had captured two or three glass vaseil,' "and in them the last touch of triumph were artificial flow ers. Chinese Superstition, When General Grant waa visiting China, Chester Ilolcombe, for many years secretary of the American lega tion at Peking, secured for him a privi lege never before that time accorded to a foreigner, the privilege of admission Into the sacred precincts of the Temple of Heaven In Peking. Now, it is contrary to the settled be lief of the Chinese to admit a member of the female sex, old or young, even to the temple ground, under any circum stances. It is said that should a Chi nese guard venture even to carry a baby girl in his arms within the forbid den lines he would probably be punish ed with death. Not knowing of these restrictions, a nuniber of ladies In Gen eral Grant's party venturetl to follow him when he visited the sacred edifice. Realizing the seriousness of this ac tion, Mr. Ilolcombe afterward apolo gized to the emperor's representative for the conduct of his countrywomen and was Informed that the intrusion would be overlooked, but must be kept as secret as possible, for should the populace learn of it an antiforeign out break would be likely to follow. They would not forgive such a pollution of their most sacred building. Leslie's Weekly. To Clean and Polish n Piano. In cleaning and polishing a piano go over the woodwork with a cloth wet with paraffin oil. being generous with the oil where the woodwork is very much soiled. Let this remain two or three hours. This is to soften the dirt. Then wash with soap and water and a soft cloth, being careful not to let any water touch the works inside the piano. Use a good white or a white castile soap. Wipe dry with a soft cloth and polish with soft, old linen or chamois leather. Ladies' Home Journab All Ills Fault. "Women beat the world." "What's the matter now?"
