the prospcrt of the fray. The necessity
for softie outlet to the pent-up excite
ment of the day wan laid ujioii her very
strongly.
"Father, have you heard from Sib
ley?" hhv asked, abruptly.
"D n Kibleyl"
"An yon please about that; but have
you heard from him? Dido tell me you
had a letter this morning."
"D-n Dido:"
"So objection In the world to that,
either, if it will contribute to your
peaee of mind."
Sihc caiun forward with the air of a
Van Arnb. rg entering the- eae of some
particularly untruhtworthy animal.
Circumstances must deride whether ca
jolery or the lash (litfiiratively in this
com;) must le wm'A.
Tho shuffling slippnd feet came to a
halt Just as their wearer reached an
Immense upholstered chair, into which
lie dropped with a bili of physical ex
haustion. Ida had taken up position in the low
cushioned window scut, where, clasp
Jng her liands about her knees, she tat
f-lowly swinging one little dasty boot
backward and forward, while she
looked at her father as steadfastly as
she had looked at her mastiff Stepniak
in the woods half an hour atfo.
'Your boot is dusty, disgustingly
dusty," said her father, peevishly,
totally ignoring her twice-repeated
(mostion.
"I!oth of them are. It has not rained
for two weeks, you know."
"And your attitude is excessively un
ladylike. Ida."
"So is overseeiDg."
She was calmly surveying the offend
ing boot as it swung into and out of
bight.
"You have not urisvvercd rny ques
tion, father. Have you heard from
fcibley?"
"Why should I hear from Sibley?" ho
Miarl-I, showing a set of pcrfuet teeth,
very much as au angry dog might have
fchown his.
"Why? ltecause there are only two
male Fairbanks left. liccause it is not
right that one of them should shut
himself up senselessly in a luxurious
hermitage, and the other flee to the
uttermost limits of the earth, leaving a
girl to struggle wiih this Tiovrid planta
tion. It is not right, father, and if you
have heard from Sibley I want his ad
lrcss. I want to write to him."
"What would you say to him?"
"I would tell him to come bacTt homo
and take his rightful place as the master
of Olenburnie."
"I am not dead yet, girl."
"You are to all intents and pur
poses." It was a daringly uttered taunt. His
eyes glittered dangerously.
Ilis hands idle hands, softer, whiter
and smoother than Ida's busy ones
gripped the arms of his chair until
white gristly spots appeared on every
Itnuckle.
"Look at me, girl!"
"Well, sir, I aia looking." She was,
unflinchingly.
"What do you see?"
"A very handsome man, in a perfect
state of health. Not an old man. Ilis
hair Is scarcely gray at all. And hia
yes are positively luminous, especially
Just now that he is in a fury. I see a
.man who, with every faculty unim-i
paired, and, presumably, in his right
mind, is yet content to live within the
narrow circuit of four rooms, has hia
food brought to him as if he were a
cripple or an octogenarian, and has ab
rogated his rights and duties in life a
completely as a dead man could."
She took no no, a of his Increasing
frenzy. Ilia voice, choked with pas--
"Ye. !"
Without reading it?"
"You know that."
"IJut it was a lore letter."
'From a coward."
"Why do you call him tlmt? 1
im','iue I hate the Ixrimers worse than
you possibly could do. but it would
nver o :-ur to me to call aay one of
them cowardly."
"It does i'ur to inc. I do not hate
Dennis Loriiuer at h ast. I did not
nevertheless, I call hi;n a coward."
"Why?"
Hhu lung out her hands, with a
gesture of impatience.
"Hah". What a detestable morning
this has been! Are you not ready for
your game of chess, father?"
"No. Let me hear wlat is going on
on the place."
She drew a book from her pocket and
spread it open before him. Her face
wore its most sullen expression.
"Why do you not mount your horse
and ride over the place yourself, father,
if you care to know anything about it?"
He made an impatient gesture. "Shall
I have to repeat for j'our instruction
rny solemnly-registered vow, registered
over your mother's coffin, girl?"
"Spare me! I know it by heart. Im
becility!" She muttered the last word
between her teeth.
"Moreover, the time has gone by for
me to cope with the changed conditions
of labor. There is nothing but defeat
and humiliation left for the gentlemen
of the old regime. Let the freed slaves
work out their own salvation, on the
rental system. It is not necessary for
me to come in personal contact with
them. I sliould never draw a comfort
able brea'Uil I was compelled to be a
daily eye-witness of the ruin that has
overtaken Olenburnie. With you it is
different. You have no recollection of
its ante-bellum glories."
"Yes, with me it is different," said
Ida, bitterly; then she forced his wan
dering attention in the direction of the
foreman's weekly report, as set forth in
the book she had placed in his hand.
"Yes, yes. Doubtless it is all perfect
ly correct. What a splendid business
man is thrown away in you, my daugh
ter! Have we not had enough? The
account is somewhat prolix."
He concealed a yawn behind his large
white silk pocket handkerchief, which
exhaled a perfume more delicate than
,that of-any of Ida's marketable flowers.
She was relentless. lie should hear
her out.
"I have net given you yet the num
ber of sacks of seeds stored for the
next planting. And Ralston says the
gin ought to be insured. I think he is
right"
"By all means Insure it, then." He
was leaning back in his large chair, ca
ressing his handsome side whiskers with
the hand that was ornamented with his
largest solitaire.
"By the way, Ida, what is the condi
tion of our cellar?"
! "There is some sherry, claret and Ca
tawba downstairs."
' She did not tell him that the flowers
from her garden had been transmuted
into wine for his cellar.
"Send claret up with my dinner, will
you?"
It was a note of dismissal. He hand
ed her back the book in which she had
jcompelled him to keep tally while she
;read from her own. Perhaps, during
the reading of it, it dawned upon him
that Ida liad "rather a rough time of it
,lfora handsome young woman." He gra
'ciously bestowed upon her an indulgent
smile: "Not very lucid, but as clear, I
suppose, as one could expect from a
woman and an uneducated foreman.
'Pray, my daughter, give more explicit
.directions about my mutton. It was
simply a mess yesterday."
' Ida took the book away from him and
much like hi father U (wve-i in any
thing that required fctable resolve and
drudging instance, lioih men were
fitted exclusively to ad irn the luxurious
circle of society. Both iii'-n were su
perb physically, but defective morally.
Tby dahed perpetually. There wu no
one but a girl child U adjust matters be
tween them. The result wasdUaatrooa,
but natural. Sibley, fcore, tired, angry,
taunted his father years ago. a Ida
had taunted him that day, and had
thrown the whole mi.-rable bits!n"s
up. and had gone away with a cruel in
difference ft Ida's fate. Thy had
never heard a word from him since.
The burden he had selfishly east off
Ida had patiently lifted and carried, so
far, with commendable fortitude. If
bhe sometimes staggered under it small
wonder. On this particular occasion
she left her father's presence more than
ever convicted of the folly of having
made any appeal to him.
"I might as well turn for help to that
pretty child who held out her hands and
begged a flower of me. He makes me
think of a great gorgeous butterfly, sit
ting with lazily-folded wings, not caring
how the world goes."
Dido was sitting on the front steps
knitting in the sunshine and crooning a
song which Ida remembered often hear
ing her eron in the nursery days be
fore "mother and the babydiul." She
went over and sat down by the old
woman, clasping her hands about her
knees in her favorite attitude. Dido
smiled her pleasure at having her so
close.
"Ma'tn Dido, how long have you been
at Olenburnie?" she asked, suddenly.
"Been at Olenburnie? As long as
there's been any Olenburnie to be at.
Your Grandpa Fairbanks brought me
here with the swamp folks when he
clear this place up."
"Then of course you know all the
Fairbanks secrets?"
"Jus' listen to Miss Ida!"
Dido looked very wise, as she closed
her withered lips tightly after that
scornful utterance.
"And you know why my father and
the Lorimers hate each other?"
Dido's knitting-needles fairly flew.
She was looking straight before her,
and out towards the distant front gate.
A trailing dust-cloud was visible be
yond it, in the road.
"I reckon that mus' be Cato kickin'
up that dus'," she remarked, inconse
quently. "Of course yon know. Dido, and I
mean to know too. It is my right. I
am no child, to be kept in the dark any
longer. Does Glenburnie hate White
Cliffs, or does White Cliff3 hate Olen
burnie? Which place began it, Ma'm
Dido?"
"I'm a piece of Olenburnie," said the
old retainer, proudly, "and I don't hate
nothing under the binning canopy. Our
Heavenly Father made Olenburnie folks
and White Cliffs folks out er the same
sort of dirt, I take it, honey. What for
are you troubling your pretty head
about it, my child?"
Ida laughed shortly, She was quite
sure Dido would never satisfy her curi
osity. To whom else could she turn?
"I want to know about that old quar
rel. Sibley knows."
"All the men folks on both sidea
knows."
"Did Dennis Lorimer know, when he
asked me to marry him?"
Dido moved restlessly. She was be
ing cornered. Suddenly she lifted one
withered hand and shielded her eyes
with it.
"I said that must be Cato! That sure
ly is Cato's mule, but what's that on old
Cube's back?"
Ida looked too. There, coming towards
the house, was Cato, walking contented
ly by old Rube's head, the empty flower
basket swung over one arm, while his
horny right hand was planted firmly
among Ninette's white ruffles and em
broideries, by way of steadying her in
the capacious saddle. Cato sent an ex
planation a few steps in advance of him:
"They was sauntering 'long the road
side, as I came 'long back, and she
asked me to ride her some. I told her I
was hurrying back to Glenburnie, and
then her ma told me to let her come,
and she would send the nuss after her.
So here we is."
He planted the child squarely on her
feet between Ida and Ma'm Didor Ni
nette smiled impartially on them all.
"Norrie said I might go to see the
flower lady, and I have come," she said,
composedly shaking out her short tum
bled skirts.
Dido looked away from the bright
baby face to Ida's. "My child," she
said, solemnly, "maybe the good God ia
bent on healing up that old sore. If He
ain't, how came It He fashioned such a
link as that between Glenburnie and
White Cliffs?"
"Link?"
"Link. By the look of her, she be
longs here to us. She's a Fairbanks
from the crown of her purty head to
the soles of her blessed feet. But she
Vlongs over yonder too. It do seem as
if he meant to say you twain must be
made one."
"Dido, you are gone daft," Ida said,
tartly; but for the child that belonged
to the Lorimers she had only smiles.

j maiiV point Ij show the utter absurdity
i of the present ware. The text chosen
I was from M.it:hew nv, 2-. "And I was

It is a j it fable sight a strong man
etrickeii wi h fear! The husky breath,
the tottering knees and weak cry place
man, t:.o king, in a sorry plight before
the animals that must look on with a
smile. Fear i- an ignoble paxsion.
It never lilts up. It always degrades.
To Bee a v'-ole community, a whole na
tion, quu'iw with pusillanimous fear in
the hour of i::-.tioual pro perity is a sight
as much more ignoble as the nation is
greater than the man.
But the ignominy of a panic i the
smaller part of its disgrace. It is trie
hour in which the brute asserts itself.
Man at once returns to tho original her 1
principle. II Incomes an animal pure
and simple.
A fcrt.it theater building was packed
ono night wit'i people. A fool raised the
cry of fire. It was a falno alarm. There
was no tire. There was no danger of
fire. There was not even the smell of
fire about the building.
But a panic ensued. That is to say,
rational men and women suddenly went
mad with animal fear. Strong men
knocked weak women down and tram
pled them to death. Shrieks, groans
and curses, like the growl and snarl and
howl of a cage of enraged apes, rent the
air. Great broad shouldered brutes
leaied upon the heads and shoulders of
the surging mob and crawled and
fought their way to the pavement. One
wretch drew his knife and cut hia way
through the struggling mass of men,
women and children. Hell reigned su
preme. Panic hiid reduced all to tho level of
the brute, and with his stiperior intel
ligence man outdid the brute, for to his
clawn he added the use of steel.
A sorry siiecracle for humanity! And
yet this is precisely the case in our panic
in the business world. That scene in
the theater is just as sane, just as hu
mane, as the scene in tlie world's ex
change in the hour of a money panic.
A hundred such theater panics are as
nothing in their results as compared with
one week of commercial ruin. Let a
Christian nation understand it!
A panio is a relajase to barbarism. It
is vtore. It is a relajise to the lowest ele
ments of barbaric life.
COWARDICE.
First It is the yielding to cowardice.
Man was.created king.
Man is savage in proportion to the do
minion of fear over him.
The savage fears everything and ev
erybody. His condition is one of pure
agnosticism.
He does not know. He does not know
anything. Hence he fears everything.
Some people are proud of agnosticism.

withdraw it from the community, yots

race. Your money is worth nothing
without tho life of the community back

stroy' the power of your money. Let
me sav again no man has the right tc
do what lie pleases with what he may
possess. He only has the right to dc
what he ought to do.
THE MEANEST IXBTDELITY.
Third It is reign of doubt.
A savage world is a world of doubt.
As civilization advances, doubt re
treats. Faith in man is the imperial stamp up
on the coin of civilized society.
Doubt effaces the image of faith.
We descend from trade to barter. Onc
more we are savayes.
The tailor and the barber is all wt
have left between us and the naked
animalism of the children of the forest.
To donbt God is mean enough.
To doubt man is to add crime to infi
delity. We may be lost in speculatione
about God and the mysteries of the uni
verse. To some minds doubt of God
may have here a plausible excuse. But
for man to doubt his brother is to de
scend at one step to the primitive savage,
and that without excuse. Why should
I lose faith in my fellow man?
The longer we study that question the
more absurd becomes a condition of
panic. A few men prove false to their
word, but they are the exception to the
rule.

"I wonder if you have forgotten, Ida,
jthat I drove your brother Sibley out of
his house?"
"No, sir, I have not-forgotten it"
: "And do you know what for?"
"For daring to tell the truth, as I
jhave just done."
i "For less far less," He was bran
dishing his meerschaum pipe menac

dropped taunts for serious protest.
"X our own? lour burdens? I sup
pose you mean Dennis Lorimer?"
"That is one of the burdens I have
laid down."
Her face had suddenly grown as white
as the wall behind her, but her soft
musical voice remained perfectly
steady.
"You have! By heaven, that looks
like it!"
He sent a heavy envelope flyingr
through the space between them. Ida
looked at it amazedly. It was addressed

There was a smell of burnt paper afloat
in the air. She came back to her seat

stood in no fear of - its Immediate inflic

What manner of man was this hat
she w.w called upon to honor and to
obey?" It was not the first time that
she had asked that question in intense
bitterness of souL The answer seemed
farther off than ever to-day.
She had purposely tried to goad him
Into a sense of shame for his indolent
attitude and his unmanly shifting of
the responsibilities that were his upon
her weak shoulders. She had deliber
ately and purposely been insolent to
him. To what purpose? They had
gone all around the drearily familiar
circle and drifted back to his mutton
and his wine! There was no holding
him to any serious purpose. The only
evidence of tenacity that Ames Fair
banks had ever given to the world was
in his observance of a vow which Ida
well called "that old war-time imbecil
ity," and in his hatred of the Lorimers.
Ida knew the origin of what he grandilo
quently called his "sacred vow." He
had come home on furlough during the
civil war, summoned to his wife's death
bed, and had found his home occupied
by the enemy, who had confined his
family to the upper story. Running
unwittingly into this trap, he was him
self relegated to the floor which he had
since converted into a hermitage, and
was there made a paroled prisoner.
There, in his wrath, he registered a
ow; he would never descend the steps
that led to the polluted first floor of his
home, until carried out of it in his
coffin.
Cynical peoplesaid that Ames Fair
banks, pleasure-lbving, sybaritish, sel
fish and Indolent, found it easier t4j
keep this vow than to wrestle with the)
new order of things. Hence his rigid
observance of it.
The close of the war found him with
a diminished family Sibley, his oldest

Andrew Jackson it was who said,
"if congress has the right under the

take note. The simple trouble with ev

a case of " don't know." What is the

It is the hour of the coward.
No coward can inherit the kingdom

The children of Israel went over to spy
out the promised land. They brought
back marvelous reports of its beauty.
They said it flowed with milk and honey.
They described its luscious fruits and
bore back on their shoulders marvelous
specimens from its vineyards. But the
spies declared that the land was inhabit
ed by giants! They were fond of grapes
and milk and honey, but if there was go
ing to be a fight they preferred onions
and garlic plain. And they cried for on
ions. They said they were grasshoppers
compared to the men who owned these
magnificent vineyards. And they were.
Thev were afraid. They were stricken
with a panic. And the only use God
could find of them was to use their bones
to fertilize the soil of the wilderness
while he raised up a new generation of
men who knew not fear.
Banks boast of their strength they
boast of their high use to the communi
ty and yet in this hour of a riotous need
they have been the first to sneak under
cover. With pusillanimous whine of self
preservation, they have been among the
first to crawl into their vaults and tell
their patrons and creators to look out
for themselves.
A FARMER AND HIS CORN.
On the eastern shore of Virginia there
stands today one of the few beautiful old
homesteads of the past. Its fences are
in repair. Its beautiful lawn, shaded
by magnificent trees, is in perfect order.
It bears still the name given by its
founder. Its broad acres remain intact
in the hands of the same family today
that held it in the past century. The
neighbors are prouu ol its name and
beauty, and they love to tell the story of
it4 founder. They say he was a man of
noted character in his day. On a cer
tain year there was a great famine in the
whole country. Corn sold at $3 and $4
a bushel and was difficult to get at that '
price. The great barns of this farm '
groaned beneath the burden of an unusu
ally large crop from the previous year.
What did the owner of these great
barns and broad acres do in this crisis of
the people? Did he put his men to work,
dig vaults, hide his grain and then stand
- . . . .
at the gate with a sad smile and sweat
by heaven a?id earth that he didn't hav
a nubbin? No! He placed lis men at
the doors of his barns with this instruc
tion: "if a rich man comes to buy my
corn with money, do not sell him a
grain, no matter what price he may of
fer. When a poor man comes who ha
no money, let him have as much as ht
needs at last year's price and take hif
promise to pay!"
Merchants offered him fabulous price
for his store that they might speculats
in the necessities of their fellows. Ht
would not sell them a peck. He sold tc
the poor for their promise to pay, and
his children's children are not done reap
ing the golden harvest. As the" old in
habitant passes the gate that leads t
the great clump of trees that mark this
garden spot of humanity, it is no won
der that he tells you the story , with moisi
eyes and adds with evident satisfaction,
'It's still the handsomest place in th
county." Such places will' always Ix
garden spots. Such men have alwayi
been and ever will be the salt of th
earth. It would rot without them.
LIVERS WHITE AS MILK.
Second It ia the quintessence of self
ishness. The more elemental the sav
agery of life, the narrower the circle ol
tcgrity.
The world is not run on a cash basis.
It never was. It never can be. The
world is run on faith. It is the basis
fundamental of civilized society. Why
doubt when there is not one betrayal of
trust to a million obligations fulfilled?
Why should we doubt our friends and
neighbors? Our lives are bound up in
theirs. Would it be worth while to live
ourselves if in seeking to save self we
should destroy them and carry the stain
of their blood with us and upon us? Are
we not all brethren? Is it desirable to
live apart if we could? If all men are
false, are not we of the same material?
To doubt all men is to confess one's
self a vilkiiri.
Why should we as a nation lose faith?
Of what are we afraid?
Can we doabt God? Has he not shown
us that we are a chosen people? Has he
not loved us and blessed and guided us
through the years to be the richest and
mightiest nation of the earth? In every
trial he has led us to victory. He watch
ed over the ships that sailed unknown
seas and gave this continent to human
ity. He planted the love of freedom
in the hearts of our ancestors and
gave us a nation with liberty as its cor
nerstone. Iu our struggle with the moth
er count? y for freedom did he not pro
tract flie war over long years and array
the civilized world against England un
til we won? Has he not led us through
long crises of internal strife and civil
war on and up to greater and better
things? Is not the hand of God manifest
in the building of the nation in its
growth and development and in its re
flex influences upon the fate of the op
pressed millions of other climes? Can
an American citizen donbt the God ol
our fathers with the divine miracles oi
our history before him?
BULWARKS OF THE NATIN.
The bulwarks of a nation are not gold
and silver, but manhood and woman
hood. Have we not the sterling men and
women whose hands and heads and
hearts make true greatness? Have they
ever failed the nation? Are they not aa
many heroes and heroines today among
62,000,000 of our iieople as ever before!

A woman in Washington sold an old
coat some time ago which she supposed
her huban l would not need and was
hoiriliod to find a few days afterward
that he had stored $700 in bills in its
lining. Fire and water have destroyed
vast sums of money hoarded.
Burglars have taken advantage of the
insane panic and are breaking open
houses and reaping a golden harvest.
They followed a fanner from his bank
to his home the other day and succeeded
easily in relieving him of the money
that caused him t-o many fears. It is
said that the records of tho redemption
division of our treasury department,
of the Bank of England and of France
kIiow that the losses suffered by indi
viduals through their lack of faith in
banks exceeds bv an enormous sum the
losses suffered by bank failures.
A FEW WEEKS HENCE.
Let the banks cease to hoard! Let the
people cease to hoard!
It is unreasonable, it is absurd, it is
insane, and it is a crime against society.
Within a short time money will be a
drug upon the market, and the nation
will go forward by leaps and bounds.
The present crisis has only served to
show the tremendous resources of our
nation. In the hour of your sorest need,
when it was supposed your credit was
ruined, you drew about $25,000,000 in
gold from Europe. Iu no way could you
demonstrate more clearly your tremen
dous financial power.
This nation, with its industries pros
trated, is still master of the finances of
the world because you have the brawn,
the brains and the bread. The earning
powtrof our people is something well
niich incalculable. It is the best of all
fields fr the investment of capital.
r.vorv Town d ! ad of fc.urooe owns
property lii America. He wants to be
safe. Your country offers to labor its
best opiwrtunities. You had as well try
to pm?h back the stars in their courses as
to impede for any length of time the
progress of America. A panic among us
is an ignominious insanity. As for me,
I believe!
I believe in my country. I believe in
my neighbor. I believe in God.
I would climb to the topmost rigging
of the ship today and shout below to
every panic stricken group on deck:
God's in his heaven;
All's well on earth.

Aluuiiiiiiiiu Railway Tickets.
The latest use for aluminium is for
street car tickets, and it must be admit
ted that the metal is singulnrly adapted
for the purpose. A street railway has
just made its l'.rst issue of these light
and ornamental tokens, which are about
the size of a sil rr quarter dollar. One
is round, for ordinary fare; the other
octagonal, for children. The adults'
ticket is sold by the railroad company to
the public at the rate of six for 25 cents
and the child's ticket at the rate of 10
for 25 cents.
The company does not allow its em
ployees, either conductors or motormen,
to sell the tickets to the public, but dis
poses of them in $10 lots to the several
storekeepers, who handle them exclu
sively. This method of distributing the
tickets overegmes to a certain extent the

This is a very stylish sleeve and is well
adapted to all materials. The sleeve joins
only on one side, and all the fullness comes
on the upper part. The lining to this if
lining is used is cut just like the outside
and should be of light texture.
1 The sleeves should be cut so that the line
marked straight is so with the thread. If
the goods of which the sleeves are made is
narrow, the seam must be made on the
cross, as the diagonal line must be on the
true bias. When cut and basted carefully,
the plaits should be laid in as marked and
firmly fastened and the two places marked
