SHELDON, AuOnr of "M 1U Sup," "27m CnmJttUm uf FMUp nij." "Juukwnt Eirt," CUw Oopyrlghv WOO, by Advanos Pobliihlng Co.) Tuca. Wei Tbur. MvMt.MvOvff ICOWTUtCID. j tie seemed to come to niroseit auu tared around Into the fire as If wou derlng where he was, and tie did not ee tbe tear that rolled down his wife's cheek and fell upon her two hands clasped Id ber lap. She arose and weut ever to the piano, which stood In the hadow, and. sitting down with her back to her husband, she played frag ments of music nervously. Mr. Hardy lay down on the lounge again. After while Mrs. Hardy wheeled about on the piano stool and said: "Robert, don't you think you had better go over and see Mr. Burns about the men who were hurt?" "Why. what con I do about It? The company's doctor will see to them. I hould only be In the way. Did Burns ay they were badly hurt?" "One of them had bis eyes put out nd another will have to lose- both feet I think he said his name was Keovllle." "What! pot Ward Scovlller "I think Burns said that was the name." Mr. Hardy roue from the lounge, then lay down again. "Oh, well, 1 can go there the first thing In the morning. 1 can't do anything now," he muttered. But there came to his memory a pic ture of oue day wheu 'lie was walking through the machine shops and a heavy piece of casting had broken from the end of a large bolstlug derrick and would have fallen upon lilm and proba bly killed him If this man Scovtlle. at the time a workman In the machine de partment, had not pulled him to one side at the danger of his own life. As It was, In saving the life of the mana ger Hcovllle was struck on the shoulder uud rendered useless for work for four weeks. Mr. Hardy had raised his wages and advanced htm to a responsi ble position In the citstlng room. Mr. Hardy wus not a man without generos ity and humane feeling, but as he lay on the lounge that evening and thought , of the cold snow outside and the 1Ih tance to the shop tenements be readily excused himself from going out to see the man who bad oiiee saved his life and who now lay maimed for life. If any one thinks It Impossible that one man calling himself a Christian could be thus Indifferent to anotner, then he floes not kuow the power thnt selfish ness can exercise over the ucttous of men. Mr. Hardy had one supreme law which he obeyed, and that law was elf. Again Mrs. Hardy, who rarely ven tured to oppose her husband's wishes, turned to the piano and struck n few chords aimlessly. Then tihe wheeled shout and said abruptly: "Hobert. the eook gave warning to night that she must go home at once." Mr. Hardy had begun to doze a little, but at this sudden statement be sat up aud exclaimed: "Well, you are the lienror of bad news tonight. Mary. What's the mat ter with everybody? 1 suppose the cool; wants more pay." Mrs. Hardy replied iiuletly: "Her sis ter Is dying. And do you know 1 be lieve I have never given the nirl credit for much feeling, She always seemed to mo to lack there, though she Is cer tainly the most faithful and elllclent servant we ever had lu the house. She came lu Just after Mr. Hums left audi broke down, crying bitterly. It seems her sister Is married to one of the fall road men here lu town and lias been ailing with coiisunition for some months She Is wry poor, and a large "One of them hul his tyt put out." family hoi kept her struggling for mere existence. The cook waa almost beside herself with grief as aha told ths story aud said she must lears us and car for her sister, who could out II vs mors than a week at ths longest I pitied ths poor girl.

CONSEftUEEICEa Frl. v If the cook Hiiner ih luuri'ieU to a run rond man. he Is probably getting good wages and can support her all right." "What If that railroad man were in jured and made a cripple for life?" In quired Mrs. Hardy quietly. "Then tbe Insurance companies or tbe societies .can help them out I don't see how we con make every case that comes along our care. There would lc no end of It If we once be gan." "As nearly as I could find out" con tinued Mrs. Hardy, without replying to her husband's, remarks, "cook's sister Is married to one of the men who were hurt this afternoon. She talks so bro kenly In our language that 1 could not make out exactly how It Is, aud she wus much excited. Suppose it ws Sco vllle, couldn't you do something fos tliem then. Robert?" "1 might" replied Mr. Hardy briefly. "Hut 1 cuu tell you 1 have more calls for my money now than I can meet. Take the church expeu&s. for example. Why, we are called upon to give to some cause or other every week, be sides our regular pledges for current expenses. It's a constant drain. I shall have to cut down on my pledge. We cau't be giving to everything all the time and have anything ourselves." Mr. Hardy spoke with a touch of in dignation, and his wife glanced around the almost palatial room and smiled. Then her face grew a little stern and almost forbidding as she remembered that only Inst week her husband had spent $100 for a new electrical appa ratus to experiment with In his labora tory. Aud now he was talking hard times and grudging the small sums he gave to religious objects In connection with his el i inch and thinking he could not afford to help the family of a man who had once saved his life! Again she turned to the piano and played awhile, but she could not be tested by the music as sometimes she had been When she finally rose aud walked over by the table near the end of the lounge. Mr. Hardy was asleep and she sat down by the table, gazing Into the open lire drearily, a look of sorrow and unrest on the face still beautiful, but worn by years of disap pointment ami the loss of that respect and admiration he once held for the man who had vowed at the altar to make her happy. She had not lost her l ive for him wholly, but she was fast loslnc the best part of It. the love which has Its dally source In nn Inborn respect. When respect Is gone, love Is not hum in following after. She sat thus for half an hour and was at last aroused by the two girls. I'lara and Hess, coming In. They were '.inmhlim and talking together and had vhlenily parted with some one at the door Mrs. Hardy went out Into the hallway. "Hush, girls, your father Is asleep! Von know how he feels to be awakened suddenly by noise. But he hns been altltm up for you." "Then I l'iicss we'll go up stairs without bidding him good night," said fin I'll abruptly. "I don't want to lie lectured about going over to the fax tons' " "No; 1 want to see you both and have a little talk with you. Come in here." Mrs. Hardy drew the two girls Into the I i on t room aud pulled the curtains to-ti-Mier over the arch opeuing Into the loom w here Mr. Hardy lay. "Now tell I me. girls, w hy did your father forbid your tolng1 over to the Caxtoits'? I did .:oi know until tonight. Has it some i tiling to d w ith .lames'.'" I Neither of the girls said anything for j l minute. Then liess, who was the ! (oiiiiger of the two and famous for startling the family with very sensa tional remarks, replied. "James and Clara are engaged, and they are going ;o be married tomorrow." Mrs. Hardy looked at Clara, ond the girl grew very red In the face, and then, to the sitrprlse of her mother nnd Ileus, she burst out Into a' violent tit of ' lying. Mrs. Hardy gathered her into her arms as In the olden times wheu he was ft little child and soothed her tilo quietness. "Tell me all aluiut it, dear. I did not know you cared for James in thnt way." "But I do." sobbed Clara. "And fa ther guessed something and forbade us going there any more. But I didn't think he would mind It If Bess and 1 weut Just this oue night 1 couldn't help It anyway. Mother. Isn't It right for people to love each other?" "'Tlsn't proper to tulk about such things on Sunday," said Bess solemnly. "Clara!" said Mrs.. Hardy. "Why. you're only a child yet! Is It true that Jstnes Is Why. he Is only a boyT "He Is 21. aud 1 am 18, and he's earn ing 140 a month In ths offics and Is one of ths best stenographers In ths state. We'ra talked It over, and 1 wish we could be married tomorrow, so!" Clara burst out with It all at onoa, while Bess remarked quietly: "Yes, they're real sensible, and I think James Is nice, bnt when I marry I want mors than $40 a month for cs n dy aloas. And, then, hs Isn't parties laxly baadsotns." i I u S&t. Sup ! "He is. too." cried Clara. "And ne's good and brave and splendid, and I'd rather have him than a thousand such men as Lancey Cummlnga, Mother. I don't want money. It hasn't made you happy." "Hush, dear!" Mrs. Hardy felt as If a blow bad smitten her In the face. She was silent then. 1 ' Clara put ber arms around her moth er and whispered: "Forgive me, moth er! I didn't mean to hurt you. But 1 am so unhappy." Unhappy! And yet the girl was Just beginning to blossom out toward tbe face of God under the Influence of that most divine and tender and true feel ing that ever comes to a girl who knows a true, brave man loves ber with all his sonL And some people would bare us leave this subject to tbe flippant novelist Instead of treating It as Christ did when he said. "For this cause" that Is. for love "shall a man leave his father and mother and cleave unto bis wife." , Mrs. Hardy was on the point of say ing something when the sound of pe culiar steps on the stairs was beard, and shortly after Alice pushed tbe cur tains aside and came In. Alice was the oldest girl In the family. She was a cripple, tbe result of an accident when a child, and she carried a crutch, using It with much skill and even grace. The minute she entered the room she saw somothlng was happen ing, but she simply said: "Mother, Isn't it a little strange fa ther sleeps so soundly? I went up to him and spoke to him Just now, think ing be was Just lying there, and be didn't answer, and then I saw be was asleep. But J never knew him to sleep so Sunday njbt. He usually reads up In the study." "Perhaps he Is sick. 1 will go and see." Mrs. Hardy rose and went Into tbe other room, and Just then the younger boy. Will, came down stairs. He said something to his mother as he passed through the room and then came In where the girls were, carrying one of bis books in his hand. "Say. Alice, translate this passage for me, will you? Confound the old Ro mans anyway! What do I care about the way they fought their old battles and built their old one horse bridges! What makes me angry Is the way Casar has of telling a thing. Why can't he drive right straight ahead in stead of beating about the bush so'i If I couldn't get up a better language than those old duffers used to write their books In I'd lie down and die. I "Say, Bess, I wmt some money again." cau't find the old verb to thnt sentence anyway. Maybe It's around on the oth er page somewhere, or maybe Ciesar left It out Just on purpose to plague us boys."
