In an able paper recently read be
fore the American Social Science As
sociation at Saratoga, on "Mental
Health and the Newspaper," Dr. F.
W. Itussell thoughtfully says :
"The expansion of the newspaper
from the little sheet of our fathers to
the huge Sunday sheet of twenty
four pages of to-day, wherein is de
picted the doings and varied inter
ests oi tne wnoie world, has been ac
companied by other changes. The
average reader ski ms ligntly over
the thousand facts massed in scried
columns. To win his attention ho
oust be aroused, excited, terrified.
(),uiet, thoughtful consideration of
any subject seems to him tame. Tin
result ot this is that from this de
sultory reading comes only superti
cial thinking. The mind staggers
under the load of mere facts, and
ceases to grow and strengthen. This
superficial practice is ruinous to men
tal culture. It dissipates mental en
ergy, and destroys the power of con
centration. Hie newspaper of the
luture will be intensive instead of
expansive, it will give the news of
the day in the compactest possible
form, and will studiously eschew all
forms of sensationalism. When the
general public realizes the deterior
ating influence of blanket-sheet
newspapers upon mental strength,
as pointed out Irom a scientific
standpoint by such authority as that
above quoted, il will not be long in
I ! . , ,. .
uringing newspaper puoiisners to a
higher plane in catering to public
wants. '
Many people subscribe to these big
sensational papers, which contain all
the scandals, crimesund disgraceful
escapades oi the day, spun out
into the minutest thread of detail
little thinking of the damaging ef
fect they produce upon the minds of
those who read them, and especially
upon the young. The paoer that

I had rather associate - with a dog

h:iM rather associate with a hog

I bolirve the elect are the "who

the "whosoever-won'ts." Like the
old darkey who said, "I do not
know how to explain it, Imt nobody,
is ever elected 'eeptiu' lie is a can
didate." All this quarrel we got up among
the denominations about the age
of church is all nonsense. Yougtt
up a Iiaptist brother and he will
run back to John the Baptist and
say they have come down in Apos
tolic succession; but we Methodists
have got the pull on him; we go
back to Adam. Did not Adam fall?
And I believe as truly that Adam
was a Method ist as I believe that I
am one; he manifested every practi
cal evidence in the world by his
church relations.
I can't have what we call enmities
or jealousies.; some of the best
friends I have in the world are
1'iesbyterians, some of the truest
men 1 kno v on earth are Presby
terians. Baptists: I will love them
as long its I live. I got my wife
out of that pond. lam brother-in-law
to every Baptist in the world,
and our relations are most pleasant.
A s far as the Episcopalian Church
goes, that was the mother of the
Methodist, and a bey that will go
back on bis mother, he won't alo
at all.
The grand old Episcopal church is
the best equipped church in the
world; it is the best equipped regi
ment of Jesus Christ in the world
but the trouble it, that it has bf en
in camp a hundred years and it has
not fired a gun.
Every time there is a split off,
that part jumps nearer where God
wan sit, that is a fact. When the old
Episcopalian church split, the
Metlu dists jumps out on a great,
broad platform; when the old
school Presbyterian church split,
the Cumberland jumped out towards
a common centre and there follow
ed a grand, work; when the old
Hard-shell Baptist church split, the
Missionaries jumped out and jump
ed towards us, but I hey i ell in the
creek.
You can take a man and immerse
him in the river of Jordan three

Salvation is not joining the church,
it is not being baptized, it is not
taking the sacrament, it is not
praying in vour family, it is not
visiting the sick, it is not helpin
the poor, it is not feeling good;
more salvation
that my coat is Sam Jones; it is the

What is salvation? It is God
Almighty setting the Ten Command
ments o music in your soul, and
setting every Christian duty to
music in your lift that would
charm the angel's ear.
I will tell you preachers right
now, you need not be jumping ana
stamping on your people so much,
they need medicine more than the

I never went much on Theology

get tangled up with the business

about it a good deal like an old

"I tell you, papa, I cannot endure his
presence in this house. It was offensive
enough to mo at home, when he came
but once or twice a day. It was still
more so dming our joumej here, when
I was forced to be in the same ear with
him; but now that you tell me he is to
live under the same roof, nit at the same
table and ride in the same carriage with
us it becomes unbearable. My hatred
of the man i.icreas.,o hourly. Why
need you compel me to associate with
him so closely, papa'."
The voice of the speaker was of that
peculiar contralto quality which in a re
fined woman denotes passion and force
of character, and in an ordinary one a
coarse order of strength.
It is a voice which always makes men
turn to listen, and which echoes longer
adown the strings of memory than the
most bird-like notes of more musical and
higher keyed voices.
The face of the speaker betokened re
finement, and this, together with her ex
treme youth and pronounced beauty,
rendered the voice more remarkable.
The elderly man to whom the words
were addressed breathed a deep sigh.
"My dear child, I beg you to be reason
able," he said gently. "You know how
ill I have been you know how alarming
my condition seemed ever after"
"Don't, papa," cried the young girl
sharply. "Do you not suppose I remem
ber as well as you the events which
killed mamma, shattered your health
and ruined my young life? Why recall
them now?
"Have we not come away to forget
them, if possible, or at least to live down
the effects? But I do not see how it
will help us to have that odious man '
under the same roof with us day and
night. Let Dr. Ren"
H r.truu, lucuiiuut. iin-i vnu ,. i-ii t
man quickly. "I tell you, child, we must
not forget the new names we have re
solved to use. Remember always that I j
am Mr. Crawford, j-ou are Mis3 Craw- j
ford, your governess is Miss Brown and
my physician is Dr. Watson. It is im
perative that we use theses names among
ourselvc3 as well as in the presence of
strangers."
The vouns snrl threw out her arms
with an expression at onco impatient
and despairing.
"I hate subterfuge and deception in
every form," sho cried, "and I have
never seen why this change of names
which was a suggestion of Dr. Watson,
as you call him is necessary. In a city
like New York or London or Paris,
where we are to pass our time of exile,
we could easily sink our identity with
out living under false names."
"The greatest city in the world is not
large enough to hide the identity ot a
disgraced name," responded the old man
Vitterly.
"Disgraced? Papa!" exclaimed the
young girl in a tone of expostulation, but
the old man waved his hand wearily.
"Enoncch," he said. "Enough of this,
my dear. The past is -past. Why dis
cuss it? The present and tho future re
main.
"I desire to regain my health and brain
power, that I may set about clearing our
name from the dark stain which has
fallen upon it. I do it more for your
sake than my own, aa at longest my stay
on earth will be brief ; but before I go 1
would lift this shadow from your young
heart.
"Dr. Watson, as you well know, is the
first of many physicians who gave me
any relief from my suffering. He was
the last one to be called by me, because,
like yourself, I had conceived a most un
reasonable prejudice against the man.
Some foolish and idle gossip concerning
his private life, which arose from pure
envy, I am now convinced, had warped
my judgment. But from the hour ha
first took hold of my case I have been a
new man. I have been like one risen
from the grave. " "
"It was he who discovered that old
associations were affecting my mind
dangerously. It was he who suggested
a journey abroad, and, as you say, under
assumed names. A disgraced name ia
like a deceased member of the body. If
you have a wounded finger you are in
constant fear of hurting it, awake or
asleep. If yon bear a stained name you
dread the effect of it on every stranger
yon meet. Dr. Watson realized what
this strain would be upon me during our
journey, and I must confess the relief I
find under my alias is marvelous. You
know how I have improved. The chill
with which I was attacked the morning
of our arrival, and which decided us to
remain here a few months before pro
ceeding farther, is only a step down on
the ladder of heA.tV since I bejran to
cl.-nur ?ip out tt the valley of dt-ath.
D; . W.t.-on is my bavior.
"I beg yon to overcome your nnrea
HumbV prejudice against him. my !e.ir
vlr IX Whatever the errors of Im youth
I Aia t-enyincod he wis more sicnad
:ii:ist than sinning. He is your poor
fdthcx'B Iw-et friend now, and as Ftich
yen mast eunsida. r him."
' But why need he liv here with us:
Way can he not take a room a few
bI"x.T&$ distant, within easy call?- per
sisd tka young girl. "It destroys the
privacy of oar homelifaj and it destroys
my peace of soul," she addeal wildly,
"to have him here."
That is the extravagant language ot
yajuth, rejoined tho old man. "Your
prejudice is unreasonable, but I will
svri f e to keep Dr. Watson from annoy
ing you with attentions which he in-t-
la oidy a courtesies ti the daughter
i,x tin 'pfettcntv
'He must remain under this roof. His
presence is as agreeable and beneficial to
me as it scorns to be unpleasant to yon.
In this matter selfishness is the greatest
unselfishness on my part, for the restora
tion of my health is tho first considera
tion for your future happiness."
The sound of a key rattling in the lock,
like a rat penawing in the wainscot, put
an end to further conversation, and the
door swung open to admit a medium
sized man in his middle thirtiep, whose
glittering, sloe black eyes rested upon
ine race oi ine yountr iaav wnne ms
words were addressed to her father.
The lips expressed kind consideration
for the invalid, while the eyes expressed
jnsolcnt and assured triumph in a fixed
purpose.
While he talked with his patient he
kept his gazo ujion the girl's face.
She sought to avoid those glittering
e3'es, but they 3eemed to fill the room
with strange light.
She t "ok a bit of sewing in her hand
and turned her back upon him, ostensi
bly to catch the receding rays of the af
ternoon tun from the northern window
but he spoko her name, anl tor some
reason unaccountable to herself she
turned toward him, drawn like the
needle to the magnet.
"Papa, I feel the need of the air.
am going out with Miss Miss Brown
for a little walk," she said, rising ab
ruptly, r
"Papn, I feci the need of the uir."
"I have ordered the carriage to be here
in fifteen minutes. Wait and ride," said
Dr. Watson.
"I prefer to walk," she answered
coldly.
"And I wish you to ride." he said
quietly.
Again her eyes were drawn to his and
she sat down obediently.
As they took their places In the car
riage Dr. Watson seated himself opposite
Miss Crawford and by the . side of her
father.
The drive histed two hours.' It was
dark when they returned, and Miss
Brown was startled to hear her young
mistress cry gut wildly as the door of
.llca room ciopeu upon tnein, -i snau
certainly, certainly go mad!" and then to
see her fall in a dead swoon upon the
floor.
After sho was restored to conscious
ness and tucked into bed with Miss
Brown to watch beside her, the old
gentleman - spoko confidentially to Dr.
Watson.
"I think you will have to avoid show
ing any attention to my daughter for a
time," ho said, "as she has conceived
some foolish prejudice against you. It
is tho whim of a mere child, and I trust
you will regard it lightly, but I am con
vinced by her manner during the drive
this afternoon, and by her swoon, that
she is considerably excited over this
matter.
"Yon have been very courteous and
kindly attentive to her, as it is your
nature to be, I am sure, toward all her
sex. But I think it would be wise to
take no further notice of her for some
time to come until sho outgrows this
whim of hers."
Dr. Watson leaned near the old gentle
man and laid one hand on his ehcrJder,
and spoke in a low. grave voice:
"My dear friend, I do not wish to
alarm you," he said. "Yes, I have been
studying your daughters mental con
dition ever since I first entered your
service. She has a most remarkably
sensitive nervous organization, and it
has been greatly shocked by events t
which I need not refer. UnlesD she re
ceives medical attention I fear for her.
"I beg you to leave her care entirely
to me. Miss Brown understands her
condition, and we have both wished to
conceal the dtoige'r from you, but since
you have 6poken it is better that yon
know the facts. Ignore any whim the
child may have; pacify her a., best you
may for the time being, and leavo the
result with me. Yon shall not regret it
The old man pressed the doctors hand
and tears came to his cye.
"Nor shall you ever regret your inter
est in me and mine," he said. "Thank
God, I have money enough to pay yon
for this sacrifice of your whole time and
skill in my sejvice while I live, and yon
shall not be forgotten waen I die. .
The eyes of the doctor glowed lib
coals of fire as he bade his patient good
night and stepped out into the halL
At the door of her mistress s room
Miss Brown stood waiting for him, fear
in her eyes. He put his finger to his lip,
"Do not be alarmed," hs whispered
"The swoon was nothing. It may occur
again. Keep cool always, and remem
ber our compact in the Wagner car,
when yon promised to aid me. You
shall be well paid for it."
And he slipped a crisp bank note into
her willing hand. She bowed her head.
"To-night, at 1 o'clock," he continued.,
"if your young mistress takes her violin
ajid plays an air from 'FanstJ do not speak
to her or disturb her. Li her follow her
own will. It may not happen, and yet

A woman who livwl twn th kdi

that if fever a m t of crank lived on rth
it was the jieople opposite.

Juat a moth later, a man who had
been sitting in Cbickeriuy hall watching
th exhibition of Irofwsior lscr Feld-
man, the hypnotnst and mind reader,
rose and walked out before the cla? of
the entertainment.
A young man sitting near the aisle
glanced up at him, tdightly annoyed at
tho disturbance caustd by hi exit.
I have seen that face before," he
thought, as the man passed on.
The exlubiticn grew in interest and
the young man turned his attention to
the htage; but the face of the jierson who
had just gone out alanced before him in
irritating suggestivenesa, just rinding
the grasp of his tantalized memory.
"Where did I nee him before? no
thought, and then, like a mirage, tho
scene reflected in thai mirror of the Wag
ner drawing room car two montlw pre-
vious flashed before the mindV eye of
Harry HenshiUl.
ne arose and dashed out of the hall.
In tho crowds of people hurrying to
and fro in every direction it waa Impos
sible to tell whither the man had gone.
He hailed a cab, hurried to his studio,
made a careful sketch of the face he had
just seen, and carried it to tliu private
detective who was renowned for his skill.
"This man I saw go out of Chicker
ing hall half an hour ago," he said.
"Find his address for me and I will pay
your price."
It was a few days over a month later
when he received a telegram in Boston,
whither he' had ; gone the day previous,
which eaid:
'Have found name ami niunber. Come
home."
"I saw the original of this sketch day
before yesterday, driving in a carriage,"
explained the detective on Henshall's ar
rival. "I followed and saw him enter
No. 3 West Thirty-eighth street. I
then followed the driver to the stables,
and learned that the carriage had been
rented some three months tx-fore by a
family named Crawford, of tho number
and street I mentioned."
When Mr. Henry Henshall presented
himself before the janitor of No. -i West
Thirty-eighth street to make inquiries
concerning a family named Crnwford,
he wa informed that they took their de
parture early that morning and left no
add"-. t
Tty levd. these fsixiiished apart-
jnenta for three mohth." the janitor ex
plained, '"and the tuna would not expire
until next week some time, but they left
today."
"Perhaps they gave their address to
some of the other occupants of the build
ing," suggested Mr. Henshall. "May I
inquire?"
Cut the inquiries elicited nothing from
the other people in the house.
Iso one had ever exchanged a word
with the family. The woman opposite
volunteered the opinion that they wero
a set of cranks, and no better than they
ought to be, in her opinion.
"A rich old man, a queer woman, a
fellow with an evil eye and a crazy girl
who played the fiddle at 2 o'clock at night
were not pleasant sort of folks to live
opposite," she said, and ehe was glad
enough they had gone, and she had no
desire to know where they were.
With these words she slamined tho
door in Mr. Henshall's eager face.
That evemng a woman whoso gar
ments bore the samo relation to p:ist ele
gance that her face bore to past beauty
called on the janitor of No. 3 West
Thirty-eighth street to make inquiries
concerning a man by the name or Dr,
Henshaw.
"No such man livin' here, miss," re
plied tho janitor, with that air of im
portance peculiar to tho freedom of one
who feels the newness and greatness of re
sponsible aluties. "The only doctor ever
bin roun' yeah in my day irs Dr. Watson,
and he's alun gone today.
"Did he go alone?" a-.xed the lady
quickly.
".So, the whole family dun gone, too
Mister Crawford, Miss Crawferd and
Miss Brown."
A steel blue light flashed from the
once beautiful eyes of the faded blonde.
"And he left no addrecs?" she asked
quietly.
"Not any, miss. Gen'iu here today
Iookin' for the same partic.4, but nobody
knows nothin' about them."
The lady turned and wal.c-.l away.
"Very well, Dr. Wat.u," she mut
tered under her breath, "I shall know
who to search for now, and if yon are
on this earth my ven-r-?anc- will yet find
you."

Hcniy IIen.hall was iu despair.
In vain he tried to banish the shadowy
ideal from his hvirS by- a greater devo
tion to Ms art. Whether he workasd at
a landscape or a marine scene the face
of the beautiful girl he had teen on the
cars wrnld appear in the fol:;ge or rise
from the waters like another Undine.
A hundred tiines hi would tarn away
from the canvas, tli'nkiiig by force of
will to dispel th? tor.iiriii;; ill ision, but
as it was the c-reatioa of his own brush
it would not vanioh.
Ono afternoon he drmael his palette
and brush's on the studio floor, and,
epriaging to his feet, called out in a
voice of agony:
"Merciful power :l Aa I rver again
to paint anything b.it ta ttfnee? Can I
never again think of ryihia, but that
face?" " .
As if in reply to Iifcj- qn.e.itiju a quick

him, and in rc."p,i:3 to liii nervous
"Come in" Tom Wogly, hLs own private

"Well, t-ir. tha-ra ain't tiothin' a yo

tirely by the face in the pictur. If yen
drcred that face right , why"
"Wha-re alid you sax? him? iitt-rmpted
Henry Ib n.'.hiill.and he pickad tip his hut
to be ready t dash out when he got the
information.
It was lat night, sir, a talkin' to a
mystenams woman, whose f.i-e was linl
by a veil. Them two was right under
Lafyot's stater, on Union pi:ire, and
the woman acted an if ha-r alandor
up and nhe didn't care who knawcdit;
and the man he tried toHootheha-r and
et her an example f street ttipetU; by
talkin' low.
"Well, I sneaked round ta tiee what I
could hear, but the man got a into my
little game, ami hurried to a cab that
waa standin' near, and as he drove off
he a?alled ajnt, '111 d you. Louise, home
hour to-morrow night;' then I tried to
talk to the veiled lady, but sha. threatened
to call the poli-v. I aixaogiza'd, and she
started off at a go-ns-you-ple-v gait
that would have won hrst mamey at a
walking mutch if (die could kas?p it up,
I shadowed her to Sa'ca.nd avenue,
near Seventeenth street, where the van
ished into an eva-ry day kind a.f lxiarding
house. That's the rport, fiir, and if you
could let-me have another fifty to hire
a side partner, for I've got to have one
or die fr the want of Bleep, why. I'll
credit you with it when the job's over,
-which Ihoiie'll be very soam."
Alter this lon; spanh Tom Vogly
coughed into his hat until the crown
threatened to burst, and Henry Henshall
handfnl him five ten dollar bills.
Tho young man was alnrnt to quet.tP.i
tho detective further when a ha-avy Ktep
was Jisard outvV. thn the door opened
without ay prt-it-imary knock, and a
hand-some old gentleman, with a troubleal
fac-, entered cnl falir
Itarrjr, my tM, I w-utM' you sitm.
at otice."
TLe aletective jammed the money into
his pocket and his hat on his head, and
vanished with a curt "Good day, gentsr
"What is the matter, father? You
look troubled," said Henry, as he placed
a chair for his uuexpectcd visitor.
Then I look jus I feel," replied Mr.
Henshall, with a groan that came from
his heart, "(hi tho top of the failure of
Hig;ins fc Lewis., our western ngents. I
this morning learned that my cashiaT
has 'ooen faithless. Ho Ileal to Canada
on Saturday, and a hurried examinntion
of his books shows that he has roblied
me of at least X,000,"
"But you are rated at a million: : nre-
ly you can weather tho storm," i aid
Henry, hoje rather than reason prompt
ing hia words.
If you were a business man. as I
wanted you to be," said Mr. Kensiiall
impatiently, "you would know that a
man's rating by an" agency is never an
evidence of the cash he can command."
Then, rising from his chair, ho laid his
hands a.n his son's shoulders, looked
eagerly into his eyes and added, "Harry,
you can save me if yon will!"
'I, father? and Ix-hmd tho aM gntle-
man Henry Hens'iall taw the Undine
face peering at him from the pictured
water on the easel.
"Yes, yon, Harry. Sit down and when
I have told you all I am sure yon will
fall in with my purj)o.se, for I have teeii
to you a good father, and I feel that you
will be to me a dutiful son.
Henry eat down, and, taking a chair
facing him, his father went on to explain
his troubles.
"I am in the power of one man," he
said, "and by a scratch of bin pen he can
ruin or save me."
"Who is that?" asked Henry.
"Edward Hartman."
"The banker?"
"Ye, Edward Hartman, Lena Hart
man's father. Harry, you and Lena
played together aa children, and Mr.
Hartman and I we were neighbors and
good friends in those days of ten laugh
ingly spoke of the marriage of yon and
Lena. From that time to this she has
loved you. She is an only child and her
! father is worth $5,000,000.
"If yon will call on her at once I may
get time to think, and if you ask her to
marry you it win save me ana your
mother from an old age of poverty, and
in the end yon will blea the dajthat
yon took my advice.
Mr. Henshall helal out Ids trembling
hands appealingly, and Henry, who sat
with his back to the picture, took them
and said impulsively:
"I would give my life gladly to save
you from troubli., father, so I will do as
you rt-quest; though it will be unjust to
Lena Hartman to offer her my hand
when I cannot give her my heart.
Rejoicing much at his son's obedience
Mr. Henshall left the studio.
Then Henry turned to the easel, and
more distinctly than it had yet appeared
he saw the beautiful, mysterious face
looking up appealingly from the water."
He contrasted this exquisite ideal with
the real Lena Hartman, the art child
that haunted him sleeping and waking,
with the large, full faced aid stupidly
good na tared banker's daughter. .
Henry Henshall's mind was certainly
in an unusual state of perturbation, but
it was placidity itself compared with the
condition of his unknown idoL
The sudden disappearance of Mr.
Crawford and hia family from No. 3
West Thirty-eighth street was at the
suggestion of Dr. Watson, whose keen
ears and sharp eyes were quick to dis
cover the hourly increasing curiosity of
their neighbors in the apartment house,
