OUTLAWED:
By J. L.
T j T HH day nrior the
I .Tnreil Coombs
funeral of.
IiIh live
I oi'itlianecl children were sit-
" tins around the kitchen
Mine, try I UK, its Miirlhii, the oldest,
said, to "loot; the situation In the
lace."
Martha was sixteen yearn old: Ann,
I lu next oldest, wiih fourteen; then
there were three Utlc hoys Jerry,
Loander n nd Horace.
Tlielr mother Imd been dead three
years, ntul their father had been an
Invalid for two yours. He bud nt
one time boon a fairly prosperous man,
but not within the memory of bis chil
dren, and be bad never said much
about his "better days."
The people In the town where the
CoonibseH lived wondered vuguoly
"what In the woild those ehlhlreu
would do now," and Martha bad lain
awake nights trylug to solve the same
problem. Her mind was made up to
one tiling they woulii all "stick to
gether." The house of four rooms, In which
they lived, was their own, and Martha
bad exactly twenty-five dollars In the
world.
The day after Mr, Coombs' funeral
was raw and dull. One of Hie neigh
bors bad made Martha promise to
come to her bouse for dluuer, and
bring all or the other children with
her.
"Everybody lias been so kind," said
Martha to her ulster and brothers.
Mlic bad In her lap some papers that
she bad taken from the tin box lu
which her father bad kept them for
years. Most of them were yellow
with age, and some of them fell apart
at the creases when they were un
folded. Koine had seals, and were
clearly legal papers; others seemed
In be old notes and bills, and there
were n good many business letters.
Ah Mr. Combs bud told Martha that
none of tins papers were of any value,
and had advised her to burn them,
hhe now removed it lid of the kitchen
Move and began to drop them, one by
one, on the coals. She bad burned
must of them, when she picked up u
folded paper, on the back of which
was written lu her father's hand:
"This man I trusted above all others,
and my loss of coutldeuce in him
grieves me more than the loss or the
mouey be should have paid me. Hut
on what I know to be my death-bed.
I forgive Justin yc all the loss and
sorrow ho has caused me."
"Iither could never bold a grudge
against any one," said Martha to her
self, ns she unfolded the paper. She
spread the document out on her knee.
II was a promissory note for live tjiou
Mind dollars, signed by Justin I), (lye.
II had no ludorsor, and Mr. Coombs
bad written In red Ink across the face
or It this single word, "Outlawed."
Martha looked nt the date of the
note. It was thirty years old.
"I wonder who this Justin D. (!yo
was, and I wonder what 'outlawed'
means," said Martha. "I'm going to
ask Mr. Mnrstou about it when we go
over there to dinner, and I am going
to keep this nolo, because, wlien I
think of It, t don't believe there Is
another Hue of poor father's hand-
.writing In the bouse."
Mr. Murstoti told Martha Hint the
word "outlawed" written on thu note,
mean that the money due could not
be collected by law, and that a mitu
was worthed after a certain number
of years.
"If your fr.thcr has written 'out
lawed' on the note, It Is of no vnlm',"
concluded Mr. Mtirtitoii.
"Hut ii promise to pay ought lo be
good at nny time," said Martha.
"ll ought to be. but unfortunately It
Isn't good In the written law. The
moral lnw Is another matter," said
.Mr, Mnrstou,
When Martha went back home she
took thu note from Hie drawer In
which hIiq bud placid it. and read
It again. A'.fow minutes later shu
busied herself with some kitchen
duties. Her pantry shelves needed
dean papers on theui. Martha re
, moved tho things from the shelves,
and tool; several paperH from a bundle
Mrs. Murston had given her. Hhe was
cutting n btrlp from a nowspaper,
when her oyo fell on this paragraph:
"Mr. Justin l. (Sye. who has within
the past live years realized a fortune
of fully a million dollars from bis In
vestments In Western mines and real
estate, proposes to erect :i magnificent
liouso on (laynor Hill."

"It's the town where father lived
before be and mother were married.
I "mn sun Unit Justin D.Yyo and the
mini who signed his name to that note
are the same. And he Is worth :.
million dollars!"
She took her scissors, and cut out
the Hues she had read TI.cn she gol
an old atlas and looked up the city
of Loulshoroiigh.
"It must be a long distance f "inn
lure," she said, with a sigh. "If It
were only nearer, I do believe I'd go
and remind Mr. (!ye of his 'promise
lo pay' and ask him If be thought It
had beeii 'outlawed' In the shjlit of
Cod."
All day she pondered over what she
had read. Toward evening she had
(o go down to one of the village stores.
She was pasting the railroad station,
when nit Idea suggested Itself to ber.
"I'll go lu and usk the agent If he
can tell nib bow far It Is to Louis-
borough, and how much It would cost
to go there."
Tho Information she received was
discouraging. It would cost at least
tweuty-llve dollars.
"And that l.i every dollar we have
lu the world," said Martha. "111 have
to give It up,"
Hut the more she thought about' It
the less willing she fedt to give ll
up. On the morning of the third day
she said to her sister:
"Ann. do you think that you and the
little boys could get along without me
for two or three days and nights If I
got Jane Lewis, the seamstress, to
come In and stay nights wtth you';"
"I'd rattier have Iter than any one
c1m but where are you going, Mar
tha 7"
"I'm going to a place called Louis
borough on it matter of business," said
Martha, with a sense of Importance.
She would have liked to keep her
going a secret, but this was Impossible
lu u little town like Osborne. Hy the
Huns she wan ready to start, the entire
village knew where she was going and
wllh what purpose. The general
opinion was that Ii was "a fool's
crraud," but Martha was not to be
moved.
It took her n day and a nigh! to go
lo Louisborougb. She' bad never been
In Mich a large city, and the hurry
and bustle confused her. Some lu Os
borne had told her to ask a policeman
bow to Hud Mr. (lye's house, and when
sue saw a bluo-coutou ottlcer at one
end of the station platform, she went
up to him iiutl said:
"Can you tell me where Mr. Justin
1). (.'ye HvesV"
"He lives three or four miles from
here, miss, but his place of business
Isn't more than live minutes' walk."
"I don't think that I want to go to
his house. I want to m'o him on ou
business."
"Then you'd better go to his olllee.
(lo right up thN street until you come
to IC street. Half a hliK-k down that
you'll come to a big marble front
building. Take the elevator nud the
elevator boy will show you Just where
It Is."
Martha's tlinld. forlorn appearance
appealed to this big guardian of the
law. and ihoved lilin to be thus ex
plicit. It wan well for Martha ihat she
did not hear him say, as he moved
away
"What can she want wllh old Gyo?
If she's on a begging errand, she'd
better save her breath."
Martha easily found the marble
building, and her heart began to lint tor
u little when she saw a shining brass
plate at the side of the doors with tho
name .itislln I). Ciye ou It In black
letters-. Below the plate sho read,
"Booms til i.ud lid." '
She did not talc the elevator, but
climbed the nimble stairway, and at
the head of the llrst Might she found
rooms Jl and 'M, with (lye's mime ou
both doors.
An utmost Irresistible Impulse lo'llee
from the place and take the tlrst train
for Osbor.ie seized Martha, The very
utmosphero of the place chilled and
depressed her. Its marble splendor
made her realize her shabby appear
ance. Her dusty, worn old shoes
looked out of place ou the uiarble
floor. The cheapness of her black
skirt, her worn Jacket and faded straw
hat Impressed Itself upju her. Her
ungloved hand trembled as she laid It
ou the shlnlui; brass door knob.
In the room 'she entered half n
dozen clerks were at their desks and
:,Sf"i3AySL !i t ' .ifi" ..
I hero were oilier clerks tu a room be

mid asked her whom she wanted to

"He's busy," was the reply. :
"I could wait," said Martini
"Have you a card lo send lni"
"No," replied Mnrtha, with n blush.
"You'll have to send in your name

"My name Is Martha Coombs."
The boy motioned toward three or
four ohnlivf near the door.
"You can sll down mid wait, mid
I'll take lu your name when Mr. Uye's

dt ring which time she regained her
self-pnssesslon. Oilier poivons who
came In nud asked ,o see .Mr. t'ye were

In the row of chairs near the door.
At the end of mi hour and n half
the boy omue r.p to Marllia and said:
"Mr. (lye says you can come in."

S. c ijtoinl quietly by his desk mid
vntclicd him as he read ll.
"There Is Koi.ieihlng written cu the

he bad read thu note and let It fall,
ho took it up and rc,:id her father's
word: oil thu I aek of the ifote. Ills
hand trembled nud his eyes were
rowii(at when the note again fell to
his desk.
Marllia fancied that he looked a
Utile pale, mid she saw him bile bis
lip under bis gray mustache. He put
one band over bis eyes. His other
arm fell heavily nt bis side. There
was silence lu the room for fully a
minute; then, with his band still be
fore Ids eyes, ha asked, In a hr.sky
voice:
"Where did you get this':"
"J found It among some (hi papers
of my father's, sir."
"Are you .lured Coombs' daughter?"
"Yes.' sir."
"And he Is living yet?"
"No, sir. He died tlve days ago, and
I brought the note to you because lu
died so poor that I bnve not a dollar
for the support of my sister nud my
three- little brothers, mid 1 want to
keep tbeni together If 1 can. 1 read
lu a paper about how prosperous you
were, sir, mid although the note Is
outlawed,' I felt that you might feel
willing to pay something ou It."
He look bis build from his eyes and
offered It to her.'
"You did right to bring ll to me."
he said. "Sit down ou this clinic and
tell me nbout yourself tun' your father.
He was n good man."
"He was, Indeed," said Martha, with
tears In ber eyes.
There were tears, too, in the eyes of
the man as she told him of her father's
disappointment, mid of the poverty In
which he had left bis children.
"They told me In Osborne," she said
lu conclusion, "that It would be use
less for ine to come here with an
outlawed note, but I did not think so."
"You were wiser than they," he said
gravely, but wllh n smile, "for I shall
pay every dollar of the note, with In
terest In full, mid even this will not
atone for my lack or duty in not
llndlng your father and paying the
note years ago. I shall see to Ii that
bis children shall luck nothing Hint
they need hereafter."
There was grout excitement lu Os
borne when Martha returned with the
news that she mid her brothers and
sister were to go to Louisborougb to
live lu a home of their own.
"There are splendid schools there.

It contains olor "00 pieces of wood,
all of them cut from boards with a
small foot-power scroll-saw, mid af

The clock represents a cathedral,
from the dome of which n bell peals

the building the columns mid statuary
of a cathedral are reproduced lu wood.
The -clock Is Ii fly-one Inches high
and twenty-one Inches wide at the

The llgures on the dial wore cut from

they may be justly proud. It repre

Unrolil In tlie Poultry ISiirlnc;.
Harold had long wanted some hon.
Ou his birthday mamma gave him two
hens,
"If I could." said Harold. "I should
like to buy eggs unil make nests mid
have these bens raise chickens. If
they would know how. Do you think
they would know how, inamniaV" he
asked, anxiously.
"Yon," said mi
mamma, "mid that Is
the very reason 1 gave them to you.
I thought you would like to go Into
the poultry business."
Harold was as pleased as he could
be. He fixed nests and gave his hens
thirteen eggs apiece.
The hens sat three weeks. Harold
tended tliom a great deal. He would
go out to, look at thi;m the Inst thing
at night before he went to bed, and
the tlrst thing In the morning when ho
go! up, and he fed them and watered
thoni every little while. When the
time wun up he looked to see them
come on' with largo broods, but they
only hatched one chicken apiece.
Harold felt bad, of course, but he
tried to make iho best of ir.
"How glad I am they hatched two'."
lie said.
The heim were very proud. Harold
said he didn't wonder, thu chickens
were so pretty. They were liwth yel
low mid looked exactly alike. Harold
said he thought they had very pleas
ant dispositions. Ho su Id he would
rather have two sweet-tempered chick
ens than twenty-six that were dls'u
grcouble. Ilitt otie day something happened.
Harold came Into the house with his
eyes full of tears.
"Maniina." he cried, "the meat
wugon'tt horse has kicked oiiu of my
chickens and killed it accidentally!"
Mamma hurried out. It was Just 'tis
Harold had said.
After that both hens claimed the
cithkeu that was left nud clucked and
scratched for It In tho daytime, and
took turns hoveling It .it night, or so
Harold thought. Ho helped them take
euro of It, too. and altogether they
gave It n very good bringing up.
"It's lucky wo didn't .have twenty
six chickens," said Harold one day, as
he looked at his treasure. "Wo'vo had
