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

with the fiery linuid in me. I Rnrfn?

terribly frightened and screr.ms so
fbriily that I fear he will hear her and

"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

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

"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

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

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
