I prcivd a great change la Mrs. Mark bam aftr mr miittrexa' visit, hue Uwk IrM nolle of tba children, seat fewer tutu to the nursery, ceased to Inter fere Id tb nursery arrangements, and of ten ignored mr presence if she chanced to meet ma In tbe ball or garden. Her mau oer convinced ma that she was deeply of fended by ber sister's patronage- of rur. Very probably Mr. Morton hail spoken a few forcible words in my defense. They made her understand that they trusted me implicitly, and tbal any interference in uiy department would lie displeasing to tbein. It was easy to read tt! from her averted looks. Now and then I heard a word or two about "Violet," "ridiculous infatuation," when I passed the 0eu drawing-room door. Rolf once akd ine curionsly why bis mother disliked me so. "You are not to tery wicked, are you, Kenny? Is it very wicked to be stuck tip? Mother Is so fond of nsing that word, you know." I Iried not to Iisteu to Knlf. I could af ford to be magnanimous, for I was very happy Just then. Gay's partiality for me was evident, and I soon conceived Die warmest attaebmeut for her. She seized everv ouoortunity of running tip to the nursery for a few minutes chat, and she often Joined ns on the beach, One after noon shs asked to accompany us in country ramble, llunuah had gone to Wheeler's Kami to have tea with Molly, and l.uke was to walk home with her in tbe eveuiug. I thought how they would enjoy that walk through the trn-nld and down tbe dim. scented lanes. Life would look as sweet to them as to richer lovers; youth and health and love Ix-lntr the threefold cord that cannot lightly lie broken. (Jay made the excuse that she would be useful In taking care of Joyce while I wheeled Reggie in his perambula tor; I overheard her saying this to Mrs. Markham. but her speech only elicited a scornful reply. "If Miss Kentou encourages Hauriuh lu gadding about, there Is not the slightest need for you to tuke her place, fifty; but, of course, you will please yourself." "Oh. I always please myself, Addie," returned Gay, cheerfully, "and I shall eu joy a ramble among the laues." And. Indeed, we bad a delightful after noon gathering wild llowcrs, and resting ourselves In any shady corner w here a fallen tree or style Invited us. We were gathering some (Hippies thai irrew among the corn when (iay called me. She looked a little anx:ovs. "Merle, I am really afraid there is a storm coming up, You were noticing just now bow close and sultry It felt; those cloud look ominous, and we are a mile and half from Marshlands." 1 felt conscience-stricken at her words. We bad been talking and laughing, and had not perceived how the sutishiiie had faded.

True, the' storm might not break on us for another halt boar; but we should never get the chil dren home In that time. I thought of Keggle with dismay. "What shall we do. Miss Gay?" I re tained, hurriedly. "It would be nearer to Wheeler's Farm. We might take . I I 1 1. - .1 . 1. .. II refuge there." "Walt a moment," was her answer; "we shall be drenched before we get there. The Ked Farm is not half a mile off. I think we had better Ukc the chil dren there, and then Mr. ilawlrr will end us home in his wagonette Como cornel Why do you hesitate, Merle? He Is father's old friend; and even Adelaide would find no fault with ns If we took refuge at the Ked Farm." I held my peace, for of course Miss Cherlton must know what her falher and sister would approve: but I did not like the notion at all, and I followed her some what reluctantly down the field. I would .much rather have gono to Wheeler's Farm, and put ourselves under Molly's protection. Most likely they would have placed a covered cart or wagon at our dlsnnssl anil w should all have enjoyed the fun. Gay was so simple and uncon ventional that she saw no harm at alt In going to the Red Form; but I knew what Aunt Agatha would say, aud I took all my notions of propriety from her. Bat tbe Fates were against us, for Just as we reached the stile there was Kunlre Hawtry himself, mounted as usual on brown Peter, trottiug quietly home. He checked Peter at once, and spoke lu rathe concerned voice. "Miaa Cherlton, this is very Imprudent. There will be a storm directly. Those children will never get home." He spoke to her, but I fancied he meant that reproachful look for me. No doubt I was the one to blame. "It waa very wrong," I stammered; "hut talklnir and did not notice. 1 want Mlas Cherlton to hurry to Wheeler's Farm." , "Oh. nonsense!" he said, abruptly; but it was such pleasant abruptness; "the ftml firm is a mile nearer. Give tbe lit tle girl to me. Miss Kenton, aud thou you ea walk on quickly. 1 will soon have her under shelter." There waa do disputing this sensible ad vice, and as soon as Peter waa trotting on with his double burden I followed as tnlk1v u nnaaibla with Reggie. We ware onlv lost in time, after all.

Perhaps the room held wl ineiitories for hint, aud he was glud to lose the dour upon them. Mr. Hawtry's den was a small front room, with a view of the privet heilge anil the walnut tree, riiiI wuh piaiuly furnish ed with a round table, ami well-worn leather chairs, the walls lined with ma hogany look shelves, his gun aud a pair of handsomely mounted pistols occupying the place of honor over tin mantel piece. Joyce called it an ugly room, but 1 thought If looked comfortable ami home-like, with it pleasant litter of mngaxitiesaud papers; and Guy wild at onre: "I do like this old den of your, Mr. Hawtry; it Is such a snux room. esjieciBlly in winter, when fat lier and I have come in after a long, cold ride." "You do not come as ofteu now. Miss Gay," he said, looking at her a little keen ly. She colored, as though the remnrk etn liarrassed her, and seemed In-nt on excus ing herself. "I nin Hut h a busy person, you we, and now I spend all my leisure Mine with the children. Am 1 not a devoted aunt, Merle r "You are very good (ogive ns so much of your company," 1 returned, for I saw she wanted nie to speak; but just then a fljvsti of lightning frightened Joyce away from the window, and she came to me for protection. Reggie, too, began to cry, ami 1 had some trouble lu pacifying him. (iay good-niftuTedly came to my assist ance. ".Suppose we tuke the children Into the other room and show them the shells; It woiftTl distract their attention from the storm. We will leave you to read your paper in peace, Mr. Hawtry." Hut he in sisted on going with us. The cabinet had a curious lock, kit insured us, and no one could open It hut himself. The children were delighted with the shells, and a littlo green Indian Idol per- fectlv fascinated Reggie. He kissed the grinnlug countcmiuce with Intense uffee lion, and murmured, "Pretty, pretty." My attention was attracted to a minia ture In a velvet frame. It was a por trait of a round -faced, happy-looking girl, with brown eves, rather like Mr. Ilitw- ti-v's. "That vvns my sister Agnes," he said, with asio-h. and for a moment his face Clouded over. "She died two years ago, Bftcr years of Intense suffering. That miniature was nalutcd when she was eighteen. She was a bright, healthy crea ture then. Look, that was tier coucn, where she spent her days. There is a mys tery In some lives. Miss Feuton. I uever understood why she was pernV'ted to suf fer all these years. "No, indeed," observed Gay, who heard this. "Violet and I were so fond of her: she could be so merry, in spite of her pain. I thluk some of my pleasantest hours have been spent in this room. How pleased she used to lie when 1 had anything uew to tell her or show her. I do not wonder you miss her, Mr. Hawtry; 1 have always been sorry for you." 1 thought he seemed sorry for himself for I hod never seen him look so sad. 1 wished then that Gay had not brought ns back to this room; It was evidently full of relics of the past, when womanly hands had busied themselves for the comfort of the dearly loved sou and brother. The little round table beside the couch, with its inlaid work-box and stand of favorite books, must have been Miss Ag ues', but the netting case and faded silk bag on the other ido of the tire-place, with the Hoectncles lying on the closed Bible, must have belonged to the mother, llow sorelv must he have missed theml Few meu would have cared to have pre served these little homely treasures; they would have swept them away with the dead past. Hut now and then a strong mauly churacter has this element of feml nine tenderness. 1 thluk my look must have expressed vmnatuy. for Mr. Hawtry came up to mo as I stood aloue by the Tvindow (for Gay was still showing the shells to the chil dren) and said, a little abruptly: ' It Is good of you to bs sorry for mo, but time heals all wounds, aud, in spite of pain aud loneliness, one would not call them buck lo suffer." And then his voice changed to a lower key. "I wish Agnes could have known you, Miss Kentou; how she would have sympathized with your workl All good women are fond of little children, but she doted on them, There were so many children In the church-yard n the dav she was buried."

"She spoils Dan huge ly, and so does Molly: they are both of them soft-hearted, though you would not believe it to look at them; but many a soft fruit has a rough rind," flubbed Mrs. Cornish. Reggie was asleep all the way borne. but Joyce prattled incessantly. I took them luto the house as quietly as I coulu, after bidding Mr. Hawtry good-night. I thought it best to leave (iay to explain things to Mrs. Markham. lint nil that evening, until I slept, a sentence of Mr. Hawtry's haunted me: "1 wish my sinter Allies could have known you, .Miss r entou. vv ny uiu ne wish that?

A wealthy Xew Yorker had an ex citing parley in the Hank of England when he presented a number of notes for exchange Into American money, says, hugene field in a London letter to the Chicago News. "We don't knmv you, sir," said the teller. "You mustba identified." "I shall not be identified," said the Xew Yorker. "You must cash your notes or 1 shall make trouble." The cashier came up and fri'xi to smooth things over; he spoke about the, time-honored custom, etc. "At lease," said the cashier, "we shall require you to put your name on the back of the notes." 1 shall do no such thing." vociferated (he Xew Yorker.

As long asl was acting with him lie felt the stimulus of rivalry. Not font mo ment do I pretend to think that 1 am a rival of Mr, llooth, but there are a good many jieople in all the places we visited who take an interef in my work, and Mr. ilooih knew this.

There will lie. no pressing reason for hint lo exert himself, and the consequence, will lie, as I have said, that he will not let out all that is in him." This theory is very reasonable, and it accounts for the phenomenon which so many e;istern dramatic critics have re marked.

To show the importance of the trans portation question it is only necessary to state the facts connected with the U. I. railroad as an illustration. The peo ple, through their government, ltave paid for the building and equipment of this road 12,800 acres of land and lil, 000 per mile. This total fund of the lands and money should have coveretl the entire cost of the road about twice, and tlie ieople should now lie using their own road at mere cost of running exienses and repairs. There should lie neither stocks nor bonds in existence as charges on the travel and traffic on the road. Hut, what do we see as the, actual condition of things '( The people paid for the road twice its cost, and there should lie no out standing capitaliza tion. Yet we llnd on this road a cap italization of 1050110 per mile, in the form of bonds and stocks on which in terest and dividends must lie paid by the people! Over $100,000 per mile resting as a burden on the shoulders of the people, for use of a road which they have paid for twice! Surely Issachar is a patient ass to meekly bear so great and ho unjust a burden. The Union Pacific is but an example The condition of other roads of Kansas, and in the country at large, is akin to this. In many cases, if not in most cases, the roads have been paid for by the people in lands, bonds and money direct, or in cash paid for fictitious stocks which cost the companies only the paper and printing. Vet, on the state of Kansas rests a capitalization of nine hundred and fifteen millions of dollars, (f 15,000,000) on which divi dends or interest must be paid, for the use of roads in which the companies mostly have no investments of their own in equity! And on tlie country at large, rests a burden of over nine bil lions of dollars (30,000,000) which it is admitted by railroad men pays the holders on an average of four per cent ler annum. A tribute from the people to the millionaires of three hundred and sixty millions of dollars (3110,000,- 000) per annum, for the use of their own property which, on. the average, the ieople have paid fori Talk of the national debtl Talk of the tariff! Here is a question worth the serious con sideration of every citizen j , It la, sure ly, time that this great factory of tramps mid millionaires should be investigated! Unburden the people of this capitaliz ation and hogs can lie shipped one hun dred miles at ten cents a head, and peo ple can be transported in the costliest coaches, the same distance at t cents each.
