EANWHILE what
of Margie Harri
son ? Through the
dull , stormy day
she had been
whirled along like
the "wind. The train
was an express , and
made few stop
pages. Margie took
H little note of , any-
H p % thing which oc-
B\ \ \ curred. She sat In her hard seat like
BV . , one in a trance , and paid no heed to the
B v lapse of time , until the piteous whining
B * r of Leo warned her that night was near ,
B f and the poor dog was hungry. At the
W t I first stopping-place she purchased some
E % bread and meat for him. but nothing for
\ herself. She could not have swallowed
/ / a mouthful.
B It Still the untiring train dashed on.
Boston was peached at last She got
Iff f\ \ out and stood , confused and bewil-
Mfi ? dered , gazing around her. It was
n
Hflii night and the place was strange to her.

-
11 Jyiv. his own business , and the lamps gave
Fair out a dismal Uglit , dimmed as they
mil were by the hanging clouds of mist and
flm fog. Alone in a great city ! For the
P W first time in her life she felt the signifi-
if jab cance of the words Bhe had so often
mjf "heard. She had never traveled half a
BBdozen miles before , by herself , and she
wm\ \ ielt almost as helpless as a little child ,
flrj "Cvrlage , ma'aml" said a hackman ,
B ' touching ber arm.
"Yea , " she said , mechanically , anc
put her .hand in her pocket for hei
porte-monnaie , with a vague idea thai
she must ray him before she started.
She uttered a low cry of dismay ! Hei
pocket-book was missing ! Sh <
searched more thoroughly , but it was
not to be found. Her pocket had beer
picked. She turned a piteous face tc
the hackman.
"My money Is lost .sir ! " she said , "bul
if you will take me to a place of shelter
I will remunerate you some way. "
"Sorry to be obliged to refuse
ma'am , " said the man , civilly enough
"but I'm a poor man with a family , and
can't afford to keep my horses for noth
ing. "
"What Is It , driver ? " queried a rough
voice ; and in a mom'ent a crowd had
gathered around poor , shrinking Mar
gie , and growling , indignant Leo.
"The woman's lost her purse "
"Oh. ho ! the old story eh ? Beauty
in distress. Should think they'd get
tired of playing that game ! " said th
coarse voice , which belonged to a
lounger and hanger-on at the depot.
"Looks rather suspicious , ma'am , for
ye to be traveling on the train alone , "
began the hackman ; but ho was inter
rupted by the lounger.
"That's the way they all travel. Well ,
thank the Lord , I hain't so gallant as
to git taken in by every decent face I
see ! "
"Thank heaven , I am not so lost to all
sense of decency as to insult a lady ! "
said a clear , stern voice ; and a tall , dis
tinguished-looking man swept through
the crowd , and reached Margie's side.
"Indeed , I am not mistaken ! " he said ,
looking at her with amazement "Miss
Harrison ! "
She saw , as he lifted his hat , the
frank , handsome face of Louis Castrani.
All her troubles were over this man
was a pillar of strength to her weak
ness. She caught his arm eagerly , and
"
Leo barked , with joy , recognizing a
friend.
"I am so glad to see you , Mr. Cas-
trrinjr , 1 • • . -
His countenance lighted instantly.
He pressed the hand on his arm.
"Thank you , my friend. What serv
ice can I render you ? Where do you
wish to go ? Let me act for you. "
"Oh , thank you if you only will ! I
was going further , but the train I
wished to take had been gone some
hours , and I must stay here to-night.
And on my way , somewhere , my money
has been stolen. "
"Give yourself no more uneasiness.
J am only too happy to be of any use
to .you. "
'the crowd dispersed , and Castrani
called" a .carriage , and put Margie and
Leo insider
"Have youany choice of hotels ? "
"None. I am entirely unacquainted
here. You know best. ' 1
"To the House , " he said to the
driver ; and thither they were taken.
A warm room and a tempting supper
were provided , but Margie could not
eat. She only swallowed a little toast ,
and drank a cup of tea. Castrani came
to her parlor just after she had finished ,
but he did not sit down. He had too
much delicacy to intrude himself upon
her when accident had thrown them to
gether.
"I was called here on very urgent
business , " he said , "and shall be obliged
to attend to it to-night , hut I shall re
turn soon , and will see you in the morn
ing. Meanwhile , feel perfectly at
home. I have engaged a chamber-maid
to attend to you , and do not be afraid to
make your wants known. Good-night ,
now , and pleasant dreams. "
She was so weary , that she slept
some , with Leo hugged tightly to her
breast ; for she felt a sense of security
in having this faithful friend near her.
Breakfast was served in her room , and
"by and by Castrani came up. He spoke
to her cheerfully , though he could not
fail to notice that some terrible blow
had fallen upon her since last he had
seen her , gay and brilliant , at a party
in New York. But he forebore to ques
tion her. Margie appreciated his deli
cacy , and something impelled her to
confide to him what she had not en
trusted to the discretion of any other
person. She owed him this confidence ,
for his disinterested kindness.
"M : . Castrani , " she said , , quietly
enough , outwardly , "circumstances of
which I cannot speak , have made it
necessary for me to leave New York.
I do not desire that the place of my
destination shall he known to any one.
But to show you how much I appreciate
your kindness , and how entirely I trust
you , I will Inform you that I am going
to Lightfleld , in New Hampshire , to
stop an indefinite length of time with
my old nurse. Mrs. Day. * *
Castrani was visibly affected by this
proof of her confidence.
• "From me. no one shall ever know
the place of your refuge , " he said , earn
estly. "Your train leaves at ten. It
Is now nine. If you would only permit
meLtnV-n you safely to the end of your
jOUi. .J. t
She flushed. He read a quite reproach
in her eye.
"Pardon me. I know it may aeem
like officiousness , but I would try and
not be disagreeable to you. I would
not even speak to you , if you desired it
should be so. But I could travel in
the same car with you , and be there to
protect you. if you should need me. "
"I thank you greatly. But I had
rather you went no farther. I shall
meet with no difficulty , I think. I shall
reach Nurse Day's by sunset"
"As you will. I will not press the
2 * * _
matter. Your pleasure shall be mine. "
A little later he assisted her from
the carriage that had taken her to the
depot Her baggage was checked he
handed her the check , and her ticket ,
and then pressed into her hand a roll
of bank-notes. She put them back
quietly , but he declined taking them.
"I do not give it to you I lend it to
you. You can repay me at your con
venience. "
"On those conditions , I thank you ,
also. "
She put out her hand. He took it.
resisted the Inclination to press his lips
to it , and held it lightly in his.
"If you will give me permission to
call upon you should I be in Lightfleld
during your stay there I shall be more
than happy ! " $ .
She was about to refuse , but the mute
pleading of his eyes deterred her. He
had been kind to her , and it could do
her no harm. Probably , he would
never come to Lightfleld , so she gave
him the permission he asked for.
The day passed without incident , and
nightfall found Margie within ten miles
of her destination. She was driven
along a rough country road , to a square
farm-house looming up white through
the dark and a moment later , she was
lying , pale and exhausted , in the arms
of Nurse Day.
"My. blessed child ! " cried the old
lady ; "my precious little Margie ! My
old eyes will almost grow young again ,
after having been cheered by the sight
of ye ! " And she kissed Margie again
and again , while Leo expressed his de
light in true canine style by barking
vociferously , and leaping over the
chairs and tables.
CHAPTER XVIII.
. URSE DAY was
' pleasantly situated.
Her husband was a
1 grave , staid man ,
who was very kind
to Margie , always.
The farm was a
rambling affair
extending over , and
embracing in its
ample limits , hill
kuu uttie , lueauitw
and woodland , and a portion of a bright ,
swift river , on whose banks it was Mar
gie's delight to sit through the purple
sunsets , and watch the play of light
and shade on the bare , rocky cliff opposite
'
site .
Nature proved a true friend to the
sore heart of the girl. The breezes , sc
fresh and sweet , and clear , soothed
Margie inexpressibly. The sunshine
was a message of healing ; the songs of
the birds carried her back to her happy
childhood. Wandering through the
leafy aisles of the forest , she seemed
brought nearer to God and his mercy.
Only once had Nurse Day questioned
her of the past , and then Margie had
said :
"I have done with the past forever ,
Nurse Day. I wish it never recalled to
me. I have met with a great sorrow-
one of which I cannot speak I came
here to forget it. Never ask me any
thing about it. I would confide it tc
you , if I could , but my word is given to
another to keep silent. I acted foi
what I thought best Heaven knows
if I erred , I did not err willingly. "
"Give It all into God's hands , " said
Nurse Day , reverently. "He knows
just what is best for us. "
The days went on slowly , but they
brought something of peace to Margie
Harrison. The violence of her dis
tress passed away , and now there waE
only a dull pain at her heart a pain
that must always have its abode there.
She held no communication with any
person in New York , save her aunt , and
her business agent , Mr. Farley , and her
letters to them were posted in a distant
town , in a neighboring state , where
Nurse Day had .friends and so Margie'E
place of refuge was still a secret.

A FAMOUS SOPRANO.
Two Continents Fay Tribute to Ellen
Beach. * Yaw , the Great Singer.
In this closing of the nineteenth cen
tury there has dawned a star in the
vocal firmanent which eclipses , in bird
like sweetness and phenomenal range
all the voices of the past , says the New
York World. History will write the
name and fame of Ellen Beach Yaw a *
the greatest soprano singer the world
has ever known greater than Patti
greater than Nilsson greater than
Lind. The American people will find
much satisfaction in the thought thai
Miss Yaw is an American girl : she was
born in New York state and the great
er portion of her early life was spent
in California.
Miss Yaw is a tall , stately girl , whose
wealth of blonde hair frames a face
that is beautiful and expressive. Hei
bearing and manner indicate self-pos
session and are the embodiment of al ]
that is graceful and refined. The beau
ty and phenomenal range of her voice
became apparent some years ago , while
under the tuition of Mme. Bjorksten ol
New York , and under whose guidance
Miss Yaw went to Paris and studied
with the famous Delia Sedle and Bax.
It was not until two years ago that hex
wonderful voice began to attract pub
lic attention and in this brief period
she has sung herself into a popularity
that has taken others a lifetime to ac
complish. Compared with other voices
of world-wide fame , the scale stands
thus.
thus.Miss
Miss Yaw sings without the slightest
perceptible effort , from E below the bar
to E in the altissimo a range of twen
ty-eight tones. Her famous note the
E above high E is five notes higher than
Patti ever attained and the highest
note , ever voiced from a human throat
Her singing and her methods cannot be
likened to those of Patti or Nilsson
there is a distinctiveness and an indi
viduality that has been created by and
belongs exclusively to Yaw , who is now
engaging the attention of the whole
music-loving world.

Trying Ordeals for Presidents.
It writing of the "Pardoning Power'
( invested in the President ) Hon. Ben
jamin Harrison says in June Ladies
Home Journal : "The papers in these
murder cases are usually volumnious
a full record or an abstract of the evi
dence making part. If the trial seem :
to have been fairly conducted , and nc
new exculpatory evidence is produced ,
and the sentence does not seem tc
have been unduly severe , the presi
dent refuses to interfere. He cannot
weigh the evidence as well as the judire
and jury. They saw and heard the
witnesses , and he has only a writing
before him. It happens sometimes
that the wife or mother of the con
demned man comes in person to pleac
for mercy , and I know of no more try
ing ordeal than to hear their tearfu " .
and sobbing utterances , and to fee ]
that a public duty requires that thej
be denied their prayer. "

A Reminder.
Down the postoffice steps the Rev.
Dr. Fyfthly carefully picked his way ,
then his feet suddenly shot out , and he
went down right in the midst of a
group of stock brokers.
"Ah , good morning , doctor , " laughed
the stock brokers , recognizing' the min
ister , "you remind us of the wicked
man , whose foot slippeth. * '
"Nay , " retorted the good minister ,
"but rather do I seem like the man
who went down to Jericho. "
"How is that ? " chorused the brokers.
"Because he also fell among the
thieves , " murmured the doctor , as he
got up and moved decoriously away.

Don't Drift Into the Critical Habit.
"Do not drift into the critical habit , "
writes Ruth Ashmore in discussing
"The Critical Girl , " in June Ladies'
Home Journal. "Have an opinion , and
a sensible one , above ever3'thing , but
when you come to judge people remem
ber that you see very little of what
they really are , unless you winter and
summer with them. Find the kindly ,
lovable nature of the man who knows
little of books. Look for the beautiful
self-sacrifice made daily by some wo
man who knows nothing about pic
tures , and teach yourself day in and
day out to look for the best in every
thing. It is the every-day joys and
sorrow , my dear girl , that go to make
up life. It is not the one great sorrow
row , nor theoue intense joy , it is the
accumulation of the little ones that
constitute living , so do not be critical
of the little faults , and do be quick to
find the little virtues and to praise
them. So much that is good in people
dies for want of encouragement. As I
said before , have an opinion , and a
well-thought-out one , and above every
thing that comes into your life , but do
not have too many opinions about
people. Their hearts are not open
books , and as you must be judged
* them the kindest
3ourself some day , give
est judgment now. "

Not the Whisky.
The coroner's jury in the case of Bill
Wilcox , who dropped dead Thursday
evening after taking a drink at the
Last Chance saloon , decided that it
was not the whisky which brought
about the sad end. Bill had been
drinking the same brand for fourteen
years , and although the vitriol in it
would eat up a hairpin in ten minutes
the coating of his stomach was sup
posed to be proof against any action
of any sort of acid. He probably had
some heart trouble. We thinic it must
be so , because he asked for a drink to
be "chalked down , " and to his great
amazement it was handed out The
surprise must have brought about a
fatal shock to the nervous system. The
