poured tho contents into the tiny brass

ascertaining tho namo of this marvelous

Philip gathered up his gold, not without
counting the coins. They felt strangely
heavy in his pocket, much heavier than
tho stones' they replaced. Yet they
formed a thousandth part of tho value
of those fllptlike pebbles. What a queer
problem It was this ratio of worth bo

sovereigns.

afternoon."
THE TRANSITION.
It was I o'clock Jn the afternoon of a
fine but chilly March day when Philip
regained Holburn with 50 making a
lump In his pocket, and leaacsteln's let
ter safely lodged In his coat. Tho mere
weight of the' gold suggested an un-
'pleasant Possibility. His clothes wcro so
worn that tho frail calico might give
way and evpry golden coin rattle forth
to the pavement.
Bo with one of Mr. Abingdon's shillings
ho made his first purchase, a capacious
tobacco pouch with a snap mouth, fpr
which ha paid 0 pence. Then he ad
journed to an uerated bread shop and
ordered somo refreshments. While the
waitress was bringing his cup of tea and
piece of cako he contrived to slip all tho
sovereigns but ono into tho tobacco pouch.
Ho did this with his hand in tho pocket
Itself, and more than once there was a
pleasant clink as tho coins fell Into their
novel' receptacle.
A man sitting neur caught the sound
and looked up suspiciously. Philip, whose
senses were very much on the alert to
day, renllzed that his action wbb some
what careless. Without even glancing at
his neighbor he took out his remaining
couple of shllllngo and tho three pennies,
and affected to cpunt them with a cer
tain degree of astonishment, as If somo
were missing. The ruse was satisfactory.
Tho man gave him no further heed am
soon quitted the restaurant.
Philip tendered tho odd sovereign In
payment of his bill. Tho girl cashier
seemed to bo surprised that such a ragged
youth should own so large a sum.
"All silver, please," said Philip when
she- began to count his change.
Ho would take no moro risks If he
could avoid them. Not a single police
man in London would have failed to ar
rest him at that moment were his store
or gold revealed by uny chance. Yet

A mother who is a widow writes that
her daughter, an only child, was given
every loving csro and all posslblo op
portunities for moral Instruction, The
daughter married and became a mothor,
and the widowed parent lives under the
same- roof.
Since her marriage the daughter has
become quarrelsome and even abusive.
Tho mother says: "I havo suffered long
years In silent patience, fortitude and
grief; she has crushed ma so I have not
dared to answer her hack,, humiliated in
every sense of the word, until I felt my
womanhood was lowered to such an ex
tent that a shama crept over my con
science to allow a child to sllonro ine,
so I stormed at her at last and told her
all what she deserved.

''My motive for writing you this lotler
Is for your kindly advice. I nm so woary,

Without doubt there' Is another sldn to
this story. Without doubt tho mother
has trying and Irritating qualities which
havo helped to bring about this trouble.
But even so, thoro Is only ono opinion
to bo held of such a daughter, and only
ono thing for the mother to do, and that
Is to go away and muko her homo else
where. Perfect health and strength she says
aro hers, and let her resolvo to turn that
health and strength to practical uses
and to find employment and make a
homo for horself.
After nlm has made her arrangement
to go away, It wpuld be well to talk
quietly with tho daughter, to apologlzo
for whatever words had tyeen spokon lu
ungcr, and to part with no Ill-will. Hut
to part absolutely and llvo under u. sepa
rate roof.
Then to talk to no one of this trouble.
To ask . for no sympathy. Hut to go
about the task of making a. new start In
life at a late day and proving to the
world that there Is no such thing as uu
