From the [try of the new-born infant to the sigh J��f the departing soul there is a reach- tag out, a longing after, a never satisfied desire, for something beyond,the attainment of the present moment. The soul of man -is so constituted tfiat it cannot rest satisfied in itself. Tt seeds some object which it may desire is the "sumnuim bomtm," the highest Kood, the all-satibifying .end, the final happiness. In order to .live one must Hesire. 1 There is an old saying, "As long as Hiere is life there is hope." We can tehange that and say just as truly, "As long as there is hope there is life." i Without hope, without desire, life soon fails, because life is but a boundless , bope, a great desire, ,an unfulfilled finest <- < We know that it sometimes happens that the flickering light of life in -some soul is kept alive by the power of an intense desire���that when the animal strength is all gone and science looks lor the end there comes a new power to the rescue of the soul struggling for * longer respite, and.the spark of life it kept burning until the desire has been jgratified, until the message has been given or the face of the beloved on* has been looked upon once again ere '*��� lire fainting soul falls asleep. And so " It is with the life olf the world. Without hope, without longing, without this innate and nevei failmg desire, the world would fall c asleep and all things *rouId be as at the beginning. But when Cod created the heaven aiid the earth, )R'hen in the eternities of the past there tame forth the power of life, there was wrapped up in that genesis the propelling, uplifting, expanding force of �� great desire. Never could that life remain yilent or passive; it must, con- *����cious2y or unconsciously, reach out, - Jong after, work for some end in the eternities of the future So "through Ihe ages one eternal pin pose runs." Let us understand, then, that our life is made up olf desucs���ihat we are the fcreatures of,a hope which passeth our ���,_ Understanding; that we arc tho pioduct - R aJ V1C pabl e^cns of life to reach (Sts final destiny; that wc arc the con- seivers of the energies by which future generations shall be enabled to ���reach the goal of then quest. '.Let us realize that'our happiness in this woild, that our life in the future ,-world, that our contnbution to the life of the ages to follow, all depend upon the choice and direction of our present desires. Let us giasp this fact and we ' nvill tremble ere we choose the thing ,t,:?.t 5-lall be supiemo in our thought and life. ! There have always been two ways by which man has lncd to gain for himself the 'desire of life. The first has been by collecting and surrounding himself (With things that will minister to his physical well-being. This is the prim- try and lowest conception of happiness. (We can trace it back to the earlier Btages of life, and it probably arose Jrom the instinct of self-preservation. (The other way that man has tried to satisfy this yearning for a moie perfect Me is the cultivation of the interject and the widening of the horuon of knowledge. Neither in the gratification of the physical nor in the development ef the intellectual has man found the ttnd for which he exists. I 'And now we turn, to the Great Interpreter of Life, the One who is Himself ''the Way and the Truth and tlie Life." What did He make the supieme ��nd all-imporlant think in life ? The Snswer comes without hesitation, the oing of the will of God. "Jesus saith junto them, My meat is to do the will pf ITim that sent Me, and to finish His ;iyoik." The world has never seen a life so perfectly happy, "because no tothcr life has been so entirely in accord with the divine will Jesus Christ leamc not only lo reveal, but to do the h-ill of the Falhcr.nnd because lie gave Himself in perfect obedience there mus^ have come to Him the perfect happiness. I We can realise the Desire of life. WC can attain unto perfect happiness only in so far as we give ottiselves lo Ihe doing of tlie will of God. There is no other way. Everything must be made subordinate and contributory to this one supreme aim, to do the will pf God. Everything that conflicts with the will of God as revealed through Jesus Christ must be given up without iquestion if we arc to enter into tlie fulness of life; such as the-Gospel of Christianity. The message is that happiness and heaven and the fulness of life with God are yours when you can say with the Kfaster, "My meat is to do the will of Him, that sent Me, and to finish'His' work." hearlfs delight would not have failed lilm Id the matter of lattci-wilting, ieceived nothing at all. The .explanation, though hardly solacing, was simple enough. It seemq that tho last twputy miles of the Lartop mall journey ii performed bv mule diligences and a hungiy mule had en- leavored to saUfcfy the cravings oi an M-npty -"-torn ich with the outpourings of aYine-hoaxta. .. m - *-* Cost of Pasteurizing-. Experiments conducted at the Royal Experiment Station in .Copenhagen prove that if a pasteuriser is properly constructed and properly operated it will require about 90 pounds of steam for Iteating 1,000 pounds of milk fiom 90 te 185 de;.- es F., says M. Morten- son. If we ligtuc that it takes one pound of coal to piodupe lour pounds of steam, to produce ninety pounds of steam will then require 23 pounds of coal. Figuring, cqal at $4 per ton, and ourlbutter yield 4 1-2 pounds butter to 100 pounds milk, makeb the cost of pasteurizing one pound of butter about one-tenth of a cent. This expense however, is reduced considerably by pasteurizing the cream and skimmed milic separately. The cream is reduced to such a small amount tbat the expense per pound .will be very little. For pasteurization of skimmed milk the exhaust steam can be -used ; this is also more satisfactory to the patr(on, as milk when pasteurized after skiniming is warm enough to scald the cans, and the milk keeps sweet longer.

At the Arkansas Agricultural Et- i * . ��� perlmental Station experiments have been conducted to determine the cflecls of systematic thinning of tomato ciops on jthe size cf the fruit. In cultivating the plants under tual, all 1 lateral branches below the first cluster of blossoms were pi lined off with a shaip knife The plants were tied to stakes, and the lot that were allowed to pioduce what fruit they would received no fm.thcr attention than the neccssaiy cultivation of the surrounding soil and occasional re- tying to the stakes as the plants grew. The.plants were all spiayed occasionally with boideaiix mixture, and while the leaves and stems were , wet with sprry were dnstcd^wilh pan-. crccu-mixed with font parts of flour < or roa<lN dust The thinned lot were given the oamo tieatment, except that not more than thice f .ms weic allow- d to remain on one clustei, and generally only two. The thinning was done as ioon as the young tomatoes were half or Ihrce-quauers. of an inch 111 diameter. The dead blossoms were re- mbved as soon as possible to prevent deforming. Frecjuenlly ihe young tomatoes, when not moie than onc- foiuth of an inch \\\ diameter, would shoiV an irregular nr improper shape, and this was of considciable advantage in enabling the selection of only the best fruit to remain on the vines. The thinning was done with a sharp knife * Deficient rainfall and excessive high temperature during the season affected he thinned plots less than those not thinned, since a majority of the frui: oa the former had ripened very early. Tie tomatoes grown were mostly large kinds, Mikado, Ponderosa, Stone, Favorite, Imperial. On the thinned vines the average number of fruit per vine was 9.7, the average weight of frui: per vine was 9 57 pounds and the average weight of each tomato was 15.82 pounds. On the uiithinned vines the average number of iruit per vine was 24.6, the avciagc weight of fruit per vine was 10 60 pounds, the average weight of each tomato being 686 pounds. While the wcigliL of ciop was decreased one-tenth by thinning, tlie bulk would have been about the same, as large tomatoes fill up fastci. These results are intciestmg, as showing what can be done in the way of producing large tomatoes. For commercial rcquti umcnis cnorni'nt--; fruits arc not so much tct|uncd nor so profit ible as an ev.m giadc of medium size, the b.iyer Inug influenced more bv the weight of the case 1I1117 anything c!"c. Who Are the Eattenbergs ? Of the many millio-ii of people ruled hy King Edward it ,is very doubtful whether more than line or two hundred have a clear 'idea of the size of' England's royal family, taking into account the descendants' of George UX's, thiee sonu, the Dukes of Kpntj 'Cumberland *nd Cambridge. To the jreat majority of people it is a complete puzzle. Even in Victorian time**- there 'Were numbers ol persons in this countn* absorbed to such an extent in minding pheir own business and that of their neir neighbors that, theugh instinctively h'yal to their good Queen, and well contint to be her subjects, they could ne'er remember the names of Her Majcst"'** children beyond the flist three���the lrincesa Royal, the Prince of Wales and Prince Alficd. " As for Queen Viclo'-iu's grandchildren, especially those whos'- fathers weie foreign princes, the avcilge Briton "gave it up" if asked where thc,IIessians or Christians came from, and vhether any one of them had a chance of Ihe English ciown. As regards the young Battenbergs, a disposition prevails to-diy to class all of them as belonging to Princess Beatrice, ���whom many benighted creatures imagine to be the mother of P.ineoss Alice, lately betrothed to Prince Andrew of Greece. In reality theie art two Battenberg sets���tluce sons and one daughter, the children of the latejPrince Henry and our late Queen's younjest daughter; and two sons and two daughters, the children of Prince Louis and Princess Victoria of Hesse, the latter being one of' Queen Victoria's foreign granddaughters To this second group dots Princess Alice of Battenberg belong; [and Princess Bea trice, instead of behg her mamma, i**- her great-aunt and atlnt-in-law combined The interesting young pcoplo included in tho two families are really Genna.11 Highnesses of but minor degiee; but the great affection felt for them by our lute Queen seems to eln'sg litem among "the rest of the royal family" prayed for if England's Established Chinch, and mosl people wish them well, even though ha/.j over their real minim und titles. So fai, only one| of Queen Victoria' great-gianddaughters is married ��� Prin cess Feodoia of Saxeileiningen, who be came Princess Hem'-jr XXX. of Reuss ii 1808, when she wrfs" nineteen years ol age.

He once lectured in Toionto, but with no great success. In seeking to stimulate tlie Toronto youth, he leeom- mended every young man to make it his ambition to "have a bust'in Westminster Abbey." The young gentlemen had their own notion of a "bust," and broke inito fita* of laughter, which were redoubled when Mr. Kingsley repeated with still greater emphasis���"I say a bust in Westminster Abbey." Soon after J. M. Barrie leaped into fame, the editors of three London journals for which he.had done a good deal of work determined to give a" dinner in his honor. Mr. Barrle^accepted the invitation, and in due course the three knights of the pen and scissors and theii distinguished guest ^at down together. The hosts, knowing their contributor only by his work, fully anticipated a "feasfc oi reason and a fli->w ot soul." However, tfie soup and fish were "consumed without a %vord from Mi. Barrie, or at least, i with nothing beyond noncommittal grunts. Despite frantic efforts to lure him into conversation, it was not until he rose to put on his coat that he made the first and last remark that he uttered during the evening: "Weel, this is the first' t *��� ne I've over had dinner with three editors." James Lam Allen, the Kentucky novelist, is a man of more than average size, and, what is not common to all Ken- tuckians, is always apparelled in the best form.- One evening he stopped in a small ahop just around the corner from the quarter*, into which he had moved only a few days hefore, and made a. few purchases amounting to a dollar or so When be came to pay, he discovered that he had left his purse at home. t Hr Explained to the shopkeeper, and askeel that he bo trusted for the goods unti' next morning, as he was in a hurrj and could not wait. The shopkeeper declined to let the goods go without Hit money. Mr. Allen was nettled. "Do 1 look like a man who would try to 'beat' youf" he asked with indignant dignity. "Of oo-urso you don't,' replied the 'shopkeeper, admiringly. '"If .you-, did I wouldn't have botticred with you in th�� Irat place. It isn't that kind I have to bo on the everlasting lookout for."

Russia, according to .these author!- , ties, pursuing her tiadltional policy of coming down to waim water through Asia, absorbed China north of the great wall, thank5! to a compact* agieed,.to by the late Ll Hung Chang, who in his s!m-> - pllclty imagined that the Czardom would be content to leave the Pekin dynasty In peaceful possession of the , Immenss region south of tho wall. But Li Hung tChang has -passed away and Russia is daily securing .a llimer hold on tho for* bidden side of the wonderful wall Such are the fruits of the Empress-Dowager's policy, the immense wealth of that aged royalty figuring conspicuously In the , category.

The remainder of the set, 20,435 volumes, was deposited in the Han-lin I'ujn, the Imperial Academy, which was situated just north" of the British Legation at Pokin. During the siege of the Legations In 1900 tho Chinese soldiers set this building on tire as a means of*��� forcing the foreigners to leave the British Legation, and the most valuable collection o*" Chinese literature ever made was des'ioyed, Including tho Hineyclopaedia Maxima. Several hundred volumes were afterward picked up in the ruins by forelgneis, Chinese and coolies, and are proba&Ty In the Biltlsh Legation.

But the more he examined Into the^ matter, tho deeper end more dangerous he found the.plana that had been laid for his destruction., Who defences he had imag-lned so lm-' pregnable had been undermined In a ���dozen places. Leb*. Saclcett had been ���none too cautious In some of his statements as to the nature of his engagement with the lawyer, and witnesses stood ready to come forward and unfold the plot to lid Rolff House of the protection of Call Crum and old Margaret. Moreover, tho tools the lawyer .

It's a'Lard choice, but I am not disposed to stand the chances of ending up my days in a penitentiary." ' Disgusted and disappointed as Ralph Hvas at the total collapse of the plans that had promised such brlllland fortune, he waa unable to combat hla father's fears successfully. At times Itho lawyer would show a temporary return of spirit, but it would be quickly succeeded by a new fit of depression. In fact, Anthony Saybrook was Ilka many a keen rogue, bold to plot and execute so long as success smiled on dim, but easily worried and frightened under misfortune. Convinced that-the lawyer Claude had secured to press his ���emit was skillful and determined, and bad hold of very dangerous testimony Against him, he had no heart to await' the issue, which he felt sure Clauda ���was in a mood to push to the utmost ���extremity. However, he made a show of carrying on a vigorous light; boasted on tho streets that he would win an easy victory; and apparently was prepared to Contest every inch of ground in defending his character and holding on to the property be had so strangely acquired. Finally the day arrived when the ffreat suit of Rolff vs. Saybrook wa�� to be opened. There was much publla excitement over it, and the court-roonl iwas thronged. But, when the case was called there was no response from in* 'defence. Inquiry -was made, and it was found that Ralph Saybrook was at borne; but he stated that his father had aadclled his horse and ridden from town the previous night and had not return*, ���d. He did not know where he had gone or^how soon he would return. Foi j himself, he could only say that tlu management of the estate was entirely, tn his father's hands; he knew little ot nothing of the matter; and he was not prepared to put in any'.answer, till his father's return. ' j The case was postponed; but, as days passed'by, and Anthony Saybrook did not reappear, It became evident that H�� had run away to escape the conse- i ^Quences of his orooked acts, and ca Judgment went against him by default, / Ralph Saybrook had not_been__sued jointly with his father, as suggested bj Claude's lawyers, for the reason thai the young man considered' the father the instigator and manager ot tha ���frnoie scneme or fraud, and possessel too'fine a sense of honor to allow it" to be said of him that he desired to injure anybody out of mere spirit of Jealousy. Having asserted his right to his patri mony, and secured a reversal of all tho' wronglattempted against him, he wa ' not disposed to be revengetul. His hatred vanished, and, in its place, came a dull apathy and melancholy. He had succeeded���but to what purpose? H abased himself to make another appeal to.farmer Bruyn; but only .to be rudely; rebuffed. The old man was of too ob stlnate a nature to yield easily in a' matter where he had committed himself so strongly and Claude made the mistake of showing too great eager ness, and going to him before the dis gust and disappointment 'at the failure of the/schemes he had set,such great store by had worn off. Farmer Bruyn, did not lack in a certain coarse kind of conscientiousness. He had really dis trusted and suspected Claude's character, and flattered himself that his efforts to control Rosa's future had been ��� actuated by a fatherly "regard for her' welfare. Though surprised and almos ' stunned by the absconding of Anthony Saybrook, the flight of. that-'individual, and the consequent derangement of tho plans he had cherished," he was-.too honest not to see that these events did riot the least affect the opinion he had held of Claude. To change his attitude, now was to convict himself of hasty and unreasonable judgment, and to lay himself open to the, suspicion of'being merely mercenary, - ' and the bluff, wrong-headed old fellow was not ir the least disposed to make- such admissions, and| as has been stated, re buffed Claude's approaches with even mora than his former curtness. enable 1 m to. disappointment ' , CHAPTER XXXI. ���The events detailed in the past chapters had occupied the fall months, and winter had again arrived. For awhile, Claude found occupation enough to keep himself from total despondency. Pie had much to do to straiguten his affairs, but under the advice and with the assistance of lawyer Halstead, he was enabled to meet obligations falling due by issuing -new mortgages and disposing of outlying portlcns of the estate. ( Claude went .through with all thi3 business 'wearily and mechanically. His hsalth had been restored in a measure; ]and, feeling himself once more master of Rolff House, his pride and spirit returned, subdued only by "the experiences he had passed through The career of study and travel he had marked out for himself had come to a sudden -end; he cculd not interest himself in "the business and pleasures of the little place; and his ardent spirit fretted and 'soured under the ill-for tune that seemed to baulk nig chief desire. There was but one object that now absorbed his hopes and ambition ���and that'object was sweet, patient faithful Rosa Bruyn. The young man's short experience as a student of art abroad, and ' the knowledge that he was shut out for the time from all hope of carrying out his ambitious projects, had dulled the edge of his enthusiasm for travel and study, and it was natural, at his years, that, foiled in every other outlet to his abundant energy and spirit, he should surrender himself completely to the beguiling passion ot love. He could dream only of Rosa Bruyn. He caught a furtive glimpse of her occasionally, and saw she was growing fairer, though paler than of yore, and with a meln of settled sadness that cut him to thre heart How willingly could he now resign every other thought of ambition or happiness to throw him* taelf at her feet! ' Claude could not resist once more* communicating with her. He wrot�� her a long, passionate letter, bewailing the fate that separated them, declaring his -unchanging love,"and vowing' that he would be faithful forever, and would wait while life lasted for Fortune to smile on their happiness and crown their union. He wished her to give him a like pledge, for he had plans in view that might take him from the place for years; indeed, he might never xeturn; but, whatever fate overtook, he wished to carry with him the assurance that she could be his, and only his, while life lasted. This letter he entrusted to old Carl lo deliver and bring him an answer and in the course of two or three days the old fellow handed him the follow" ing brief reply from Rosa: My Dearest Claude: It was not (Wrong for you to write to me-; nor can I think it wrong for me to reply this jonce -without my mother's knowledge xor I think' she would gi/e her consent ���most readily. My heart bleeds for^you, fond my life is very, veiy sad; but my, duty is plain. It is verj good and noble of you to be so considerate, after all the illtreatmont you'have suffered. Do not despond. Do not be unhappy. Do not do'wrong to yourself by being misanthropic. , These 'clouds will y<*t depart. We shall yet b& happy.

Believe me*, leverfondly and faithfuly, your own , |>> Rosa. ' These sweet words came like a bless' |lng and a prophecy or. hope 'to the lyoung man. But.he was resolved on Inot staying longer that, he could help ���in the little village. I e felt that the 'only thing-that could .bear the sorrow and wringing his heart was excitement and notion. His country wis in the Ihroes of a terrible war; rdisaster had fallen ���upon her arms; the call for help from .all patrlotio sons resounded through the land. Claude was naturally of a geneious nature In which the spii It of patriotism would find easy root. lie felt that his country needed his services, and 'his restless,, eager nature, If retting under disappointed, hope, was ready to face any danger or bear any privation that would tupply stimulus to his moping spirits. Ho put himself |ln communication with the military au thorities of the State, and, having the opportunity to take a; position "as or' ^erly, in which he'surmised he could render efficient service," he resolved to accept it, and give his services to hla country. - r , ��� , With this resolve ln�� .made hurried preparations to settle his business at-' fairs. He determined to install old Carl' and Margaret in the great house again; made careful arrangements for the dis- i ��� ^ ��� position of Mb property, If he should taever return; and, on^the a.pproach of the New,, Tear, was' ready to join tho army-at Its winter .headquarters, i .But he recollected* his promise to^be at the old vault on New* Year's day, and so delayed his deiarture for a few daya^ ' '' I ' ' Tha first day of the, New Tear soon arrived, and Claude proceeded to the old house to observe whether the expected sign had appeared on the door of-'the old'vault.'' He'had not'entered the old mansion ' before since his.de* parture for Europe. :l It was with 'a beating, heart, .and many recollections crowding on him, that he again traversed the old hall, and procuring a light, proceeded dowa^ to the old cellar. ��� ," I " Entering It, tie'was quickly'at , the door of the old vault Here the traces" 'of Leb. ,Sackett's abortive 'attempt to break Into It-attracted his attention"for_ a moment Then,'casting his eye icru- ���tlnizingiy over the door, ho noticed in each of the four corners a small white cfoss, plainly painted on the dark stone. It was the sign his aunt had told him, to await. At last, the time had arrived when the secret of the old vault was to be removed. . The prohibition had ended. He recalled to mind tho mysterious roll his aunt had given him, and resolved to proceed at once to learn its contents. CHAPTER XXXII. Returning-to his room at the tenant house occupied by Carl * Crum,1" Claude opened' his trunk anil took out the roll of manuscript left him by his aunt, which, in his eagerness to carefully preserve, he had kept with him in all wanderings. He then drew a clalr'up to a table standing near the w ndow, and, sitting down, placed the roll on the table before him and examined it narrowly. It ', was sealed heavily. The superscription ' read: "To my dea* nephew, Claude Rolff: To be opened only according to promise." Claude had often studied these words before, and longed for the time that would make him master of the secrets of the roll communicated to him under such, mysterious circumstances. At last he could conscientiously and properly gratify his curiosity. He bioke the seals, and spread the sheets of pa-' per out on the table before him. The paper was heavy foolscap, and a glance showed him that the writing was in the cramped, peculiar rand he knew well to be his aunt's. He at once became ��� absorbed. In the contents-of the manuscript It read as follows: My Dear Claude: At my death you will be left alone In the world���the only surviving representative of your blood and race. Both in the old world and the new, every one that could claim near kin to ycu will have passed away. To the end that you may knowi your birth and lineage (of which you have been purposely kept In partial ignorance); that strange matters, which common report has greatly exaggerated and misrepresented, may be correctly reported to you; and that my action toward you, my 'dear child, under which I have often observed you were restive, may be justified in your eyes��� i write these lines. I It Is over sixty years ago, that there was living in the picturnsque old city Of Haarlem, in our mother country of North Holland, an aged and reputable burgher, one Rolff Van Buysen, who, ���With his good wife, his handsome son named from himself, and a single daughter (the writer of these lines), lived an happily as it is given mortals to live. He had been an only son; had passed an industrious youth; had married rather late In life; and at this period was wealthy, honored with important trusts In his native city, and ���was noted for his public spirit, Us philanthrophy and his patronage of the arts and sciences. His son RolfC grew to manhood; but, being of a restive, wayward disposition, wa3 not inclined to settle down Into the practice of some useful art or profession as ' his father desired him to. On the contrary, his only wish seemed to be to spend his father's substance in extrav- aganoe and riotous living. Great was tho grief of the tender f**,nd excellent father over the waywardness of his son, and he. sought by all means to restore him to obedience and a proper life. But his efforts were of no avail. The son grew wilder and more reckless, and finally threw off all semblance of respect for'hls father's,authority and wishes.' And so'it came to pass that the good father, though of the kindest , and tenderest nature, became fully ' persuaded of 'his duty to compel the obedience and respect,to his wishes of his son, and assumed toward him 'a stern demeanor, though, in truth, his heart was wounded and bled sorely for him. But Rolff only grew more ungov- ernable, and finally became involved In a difficulty that'rendered him amenable', to the law. ' It was a reckless, boyibh' freak, committed against the property ��f a high official of the city, and'his father's influence was no longer available to save him from arrest and trial. Bitter and stern was-the'rebuke that Rolff's father administered to him; but the law officers were on his track, ,and he fledfrom his home in the night, and many weary years passed, and he was not again heard from by his aged and sorrowing parents. 'The blow, indeed, was too heavy for their declining years, and it was not long before the tender mother had gone ,to-hei- final rest and her faithful husband, with the last prop of ,his life taken away, did'not llngei long behind her. " ��� So it 'was, my, dear Claude, that I was left alone in'the world, not, knowing that I had a single relative of near kin left, for on both my'father's and mother's side all had passed away savo a few'distant and to me unknown kln- , dredj'and, though I hoped 'my brother was still , alive, It seemed idle to do BO. * �� '", - After my fathers affairs were settled I still,had left a comfortable fortune, and lived a quiet and lonely life in my native city, Indulging in few pleasures, and cherishing the one.hope that I would yet hear from my brother." At length, to my'great joy, there oame'a ���lef.er from1 him. * In it he stated "that he had settled 'in the New World; had grown rich/ and married, and was then living .In a fine-mansion; but his wlf< had died, leaving him with two small 1 children, and he had no proper person to take charge of them, or of his house, hold.. So he entreated me to come "to .him���saying" that ho-had heard"of our parents' deaths, and believed me still to be unmarried. . He said he would make me the entire_ mistress of hii ���aoumnoia and,guardian of hla children, and that I should have, oomplete -.disposal ' of all ,that he possessed. ' The tone of the'letter indicated, great grief and despondency, and niy/heart was, touched.' After careful consideration,' I deefded to go_to_my brother. Arranging aH-myaffairs,- and getting alTneed-' ful information from "further 'Lcorres-' pondence with him, I set sail for the New World. , >' In due time I arrived at my brjther'3 house. I found him living in almost princely style; but afflicted with incurable grief and melancholy. His infant daughter had died ere I arrived. His inind seemed affected at losing his wife and child; and, in parozysms of sorrow and self-abasement, he would curse himself, and cry out.that the vengeance of Heaven was visited on him for his crimes. Naught I could do would corn- fort him. He was completely changed ���broken, penitent and^despondent. H* confessed to me strange stories of evil deeds he had done���how, after coming to this country, he had(joined a privateer, and amassed wealth, but in his' warlike adventures had participated in crimes the memory of which was burned upon his conscience, and could not be forgotten. I was compelled to take complete charge of his affairs; and he freely gave me the power and right bo to do. I had brought with me my own little fortune, and, alarmed and horrified at the stories he told of the manner in which he had procured^ his wealth, I determined to use none of It, but to make my own' money available for the maintenance of the household.' Meantime, my brother grew more and more melancholy. To divert his mind, I talked to him of plans to expiate bis evil life. I urged him to use a portion of his wealth in charity and good works. The idea seemed to please him, and he soon beoame filled with plans* to travel, seek out the miseries of the unfortunate and to-relieve'them. In pursuance of this plan, he charged 'me with the oare and education of his son. placed all his property and fortune In) my hands subject only to my promlsu to supply him with such funds as he should oak from time to time; and so he quietly left his home and went I knew not where. In tho cellar of his great house, my brother had built a strong stone vault, and In this was deposited the money and .valuables he had not used In. buying or improving his property. Of this he gave me the key, telling me to use What I would. But I resolved to touch not a penny, save only to supply his demands, and moreover, to place there-( in all the profits that accrued from-mjj management of the place���paying onbl the expenses, and using my own monejl entirely for every luxury or, necessity' of my household. After a length of time, my brother returned secretly, supplied himself again with money and left This he did at various times, never staying over a single night at his home, and saying nothing of his plans or purposes. There came a period of years In Trtiloh I did not hear from him. His eon had grown to manhood, married, and you were born, my dear Claude, and named by me. My brother returned once again, and looked upon your Infant faoe. He had grown old and feeble, and told me that he had at last found peace In religion, having Joined a soeiety of brothers, in a French monastery, where his life was devoted te .works of pharlty and to. penitenee. He examined carefully into his affairs, ana ai-ranged that, in case of his death, a certain portion of his fortune should go into the hands of the brethren,of his society. Though I had been reared in the strictest Protestant faith, I could not condemn the life in which, my brother found hope and peace, and I agreed to all his wishes, ��� '"* He went away ag*aln; and years passed" on. Tour father and mother died, my dear Claude, and I was left as your only guardian. ��� ' One dark night,'at a late hour, as I ' was sitting in my room, there oame a ' knocking at' the.door of the house. Old Carl ', answered the summons, and ushered In a tall,- venerable stranger, who desired to'see. me. At the first glance, of his face, I surmised that he came to tell me the'fate of my brother. "My brother Is dead?" I said to him In an inquiring tone. "Tes," he replied, with a grave, sorrowful mien, "youB brother, and our brother, Is at rest.'j ���' (To be Continued.) Humor of the Hour.

'A very characteristic Kipling letter has ���gain been brought into print by thr death of Major Pond, the manager oi celebrities. It seems that in 1898, while Mr. Kipling was living in Vermont, the major tried to get him to make a lecture (tour of the country, offering compensa ition well proportioned to tho author's celebrity, then at its height. Mr. Kip- . finsr evidently considered the proposition /with some care, but only to rejeot it, for be wrote: �� "There is such a thing as paying one - hundred and twenty-five cents for a dollar, and, though I suppose there is money in the lecturing business, it seems to mc that the bother, the fuss, the being al everybody's beck and call, the night journeys, and so on, make it very dear. I've seen a fewrmen who've lived through thr fight, but they did not look happy.' 1 might do it as soon as I have two mort i gages on my house, a hen on the horses i afrd a bill of sale on the furniture, and /writer's cramp in both hands; but t*1 present I'm busy and contented to go or (with the regular writing business Yon forget that I have already wandered ovci Jmost of the States, and there isn't tanough money in sight to hire me to pace again some of the hotels and,some ��f the railway sysh ins that I have met [with.
