A Happy Consummation. Brought
About by It3 Cupturo.
It was no ordinary .salmon; not one
of us can speak of it even now but with
bated breath and a tendency to retell
th .-. story. Several of otir friends think
it lime to e;o the moment that ginud
Jish thrusts its no.se into the conversa
tion. Lord Duller even departed in a
huff yesterday afternoon because we
jurr.si-ted in a final ;o.s.ipupnn the sub

f.ilher romance or sport, without which i
jiicongruous ingreiiieiiLs our saimou
can not be dished up for conversational
purposes; or perhaps as I pause th"
others accept the hypothesis with many
voiced acclamations -he was in love
with Kthel him-elf! She who ought to
know best denies this, but her good
nature in sheltering rejected lovers
from r.dicule is proverbial in the fam-

to decide us in having afternoon tea

that he and Kthel would be together
..and that something would occur to pre
vent his threatened departure tomor
row morning. It this afternoon turns
out blank, we givo up hope, for Dick is
lue in India in October, and will not
get another chance with Ethel.
This morning Captain Croft killed
two sewin, anil Kthel was the only one
of us civil enough to congratulate him.

I wish some of you tcouhl be a shade
less sisterly," I heard him mutter the
vother night when Kthel said with a
-guileless smile: "We all look upon you
-ouitc as a brother, you know, Dick,"
Captain Croft and Kthel. whom we re
ceived with dignified stiffness, throw
out strong hints upon the subjeet of
tea. bnt we request them not to be
greedy, which is uncivil, and declare
that the kettlo is not boiling, which is

d ning-idoin. and through the half-open
door" 1 caught the quick tones of a
I woman's oiee. saying:
Where.- Tom? His bed was not
touched la.-t night. here can he be?"
J It was Mr-. A.'-voice. To it replied
t'te -lower, more careless words of the
i nii-bai)d.
"Do not be anxiou-, dear; Tom's all
right: lie ha- likely gone home with
one of hi- iriends. He will turn up
pr ntlv."
U e sat down to breakfast, but the
whole atmosphere was d .-quieted. I
could not ce the listening ear and the
glancing eve of that stately mother as
each step sounded near, or a form
pas-eil the window. Hut no 'loin came.
Hivakfait had jtHt ended when t"c
-ervant brought in a no.e and handed
it to Mr. A. He quickly oj ened it,
turned a- quickly pale, and then, with a
hurried, anxious look at his wife, left
the room followed by the frightened
mother.
A half hour later I learned it all.
Tom had been arre-ted the night before
and taken to the lock-up. ami the note
was fiom the kindly keeper, who wished
to -pare the respected fam ly the dis
grace of a public trial. I shall never
forget the face of that mother. Pride,
shame and love chased each other over'
it in vaning light ami shade, but love
conquer, d and lighted it up with a sad.
pitying, merciful glow. It was settled
that -he -hotild go to the lock-up and
that I .-hosdd a company her.
We alighted at the forbidding door,
we entered the -till more forbidding
ta age-way, and were condin te 1 to
1'oni- cell. Wnh a cry of unutterable
love and mingled bitterness the mother
Hung her arms about the neck of the
boy whom .-he had nurtured so deli
cately, and wept hot tear-of shame and
pity.
"Oh Tom. my son. my son. how
could you disgrace me -o?" she uttered
between her -obs. The an-wer came,
slowly, bitterly, nltno-t defiantly, cut
ting into the conscience of that mother
with the .-harp, rcmor-ele-s edge of
retribution.,
"Mother, oh my mother, why did you
teach me to drink? Hut for the wine
on your own table, eur-e it ! I should
never have b en here It crept into
my blood, fastened upon myw.Il and
chained me fa-t. What I did h'-t night
I know not. I wa mad drunk. Oh.
if von had kept it from in" ear ago."
That mother's face is before me now.
Pale as de;'th. agonized beyond po i
b fity of de- ription. everv line of re
proach for the wayward boy turned into
i deepenmg furrow of self-reproach.
She -poke but once "Forg.ve me. my
boy I oe it all now. and may (od for
give me."
Tom wa; taken home. The di-grace
was not suffered to Uvome an open
one. That night a lengthy and -olemn
conference took place letween the
proud mother ami the wealthy father.
And the next da no vestige of strong
drink wa- to le found in the princely
home. The evil sprit was i.n-t out.
