Ma neither tiifBeu nor ntvVyd st sny one s entrance, but left it to Mr. Black to do the honors and make the best of a sit­ uation, difficult, if not inexplicable to all of them. Nor could it be seen that any of these men--city officials, promi- _ nent citizens and old friends, reoog- •>_, nixed' his figure or suspected his identity. Beyond a passing glance his way, they betrayed neither curiosity nor interest, being prcbably sufficient­ ly occupied in accounting for their own presence in the home of their once revered and now greatly ma- ligned compeer. Judge Ostrander, at­ tacked through his son, was about to say or do something which each and •very one of them secretly thought had better he left unsaid or undone. Yet none showed any disposition to leave the place; and when, after a short, uneasy pause during which all attempts at conversation failed, they heard a slow and weighty step ap­ proaching down the^all, the suspense was such that no one but Mr. Black noticed the quick whirl with which Oliver turned himself about, nor the took of mortal anguish 'frith which he awaited the opening of the door and his father's entrance among them. No ohe noticed, I say, until, simultaneous­ ly with the appearance of Judge Os­ trander on the threshold, a loud cry swept through the room of "Don't! don't!" and t^s man they had barely noticed, flashed by them all, and fell at the judge's feet with a smothered repetition of his appeal: "Don't, fa­ ther. don't!" - Then, each man knew why he had been summoned there, and knowing gazed earnestly at these twjo" facew. Twelve years of unappeased longing, of smothered love, rising above doubts, persisting in spite of doubts, were con­ centrated Into that one instant of mu­ tual recognition. The eye of the far ther was upon that of the son and that of the son upon that of the father and for them, ct least in this first instant «tf reunion, the years were forgotten and sin, sorrow and on-coming doom effaced from their mutual conscious­ ness. Then the tide of life flowed back into the present, and the judge, motioning to his son to rise, observed very dis­ tinctly: "Don't Is an ambiguous word, my son, and on your lips, at this juncture the voice of Algernon Etheridge, de­ manding vengeance for his untimely end. It will not be gainsaid. Not sat­ isfied with the toll we have both paid in these yearn of suffering and repres­ sion--unmindful of the hermit's life I have led and of the heart disappoint­ ments you have borne, its cry for pun­ ishment remains insistent. Gentlemen --hush! Oliver, it is for me to cry 'Don't* now--John Scoville was a guilty mar;--a murderer ano a thief-- but he did not wield the stick which killed Algernon Etheridge. Another hand raised that. No; do not look at the boy. He is innocent! Look here! look here!" And with one awful ges­ ture. he stood still--while horror rose like a wave and engulfed the room-- choking back breath and speech from every living soul there, and making a silence more awful than any sound--- or so they all felt, till his voice rose again and they heard: "You have trusted to appearances; you nust trust now to my word. I am the guilty man, not' Scoville. and not Oliver, though Oliver may have been iu the ravine that night and even handled the bludgeon I found at my feet in the recesses of Dark follow Then consternation spoke, and mut­ tered cries were heard of "Madness! I . is not we -who are needed here but a physician!" and dominating all, the ringing shout: "You cannot save me so, father, hated Etheridge and I slew him. Gen­ tlemen," he prayed in his agony, com­ ing close into their midst, "do not be misled for a moment by a father's de­ votion. His lifted head, his flashing eye, drew every look. Honor confronted them in a countenance from which all reserve had melted away. No guilt showed there; he stood among them, a heroic figure. Slowly, and with a dread which no man might measure, the glances which had just devoured his young but virile countenance passed to that of the fa­ ther. They did not leave it again. "Son?" With what tenderness he spoke, but with what a ring of desola­ tion. "I understand your effort and appreeiate it; but it is a useless one. You cannot deceive these friends of ours--men who have known my life. If you were it the ravine that night, so was I. If you handled John Sco- ville's stick, so did I,~*and after you! Let us not struggle for the execration of iqankind; let it fall where it right may mislead those whom I have called fully belongs. It can bring no sting here to hear thei/truth from us and the truth only. You have heard what hap< pened here a few days ago. How a long-guarded, long-suppressed suspi­ cion--so guarded and so suppressed that I had no intimation of its ex­ istence even, found vent at a moment / of public indignation, and I heard you. you, Oliver Ostrander, accused to my face of having in some boyish fit of rage struck down the man for whose death another has long since paid the penalty. V This you have already been told." "Yes." The word cut sharply through the silence; but the fire with which the young man rose and faced them all showed him at his best. "But surely, no person present believes it. No one can who knows you and the principles in which I have been raised. This fellow whom I beat as a boy has waited long to start this damnable re­ port. Surely he will get no hearing from unprejudiced and intelligent men." "The police have listened ta him. Mr. Andrews, who is one of the gen­ tlemen present, has heard his story and you see that he stands here silent, my son. And that is not' all. Mrs. Scoville, who h$s loved you like a mother, longs to believe in your inno­ cence, and cannot." A low cry from the hall. • - It died away unheeded.: "And Mr. Black, her husband's coun­ sel," continued the father, in the firm, low tones of one who for many long days and nights had schooled himself for the duty for this hour, "shares her feeling. He has tried not to; but he does. They have found evidences--you know them; proofs which might not have amounted to much had it not been for the one mischievous fact which has undermined public confi­ dence and given point to these attacks. k I refer to the life we have led and the $c. barriers we have ourselves raised against our mutual intercourse. These _ have undone us. To the question, 'Why these barriers?' I can find no answer but the one which ends this struggle. /*"•?;..•* Succumbing myself, 1 ask you to do so Jt-i also. Out of the past comes a voice-- ACCOUNTING FOR OLD MAIDS VaNous Reasons Why Girls of Home- burg Are Living Lives of 8ingle Blsnedness. £r V" ttjr there are one hundred thousand old maids in Massachusetts. 1 '1 het that's just about the number Sjf of Massachusetts young men who have ' gone West or somewhere, and haven't remembered the things they said at * parting as well as the gfrlB did. :c, We've got plenty of girls in Horned & burg who are getting Intimately ae-i , qualnted with the thirties--fine girls^ V ^ pretty, bright and Lceeping u *} w*th the world.

Maybe he's m^c- > • ing good somewhere, and they' waiting until he does. Maybe he l^i't keener than that to which my hreast has long been subject. Or--" and here his tones sank, in a last recogni­ tion of all he was losing forever, "if there is suffering in a once proud man flinging from him the last rag of re­ spect with which he sought to coverj the hideous nakedness of an unsuspect­ ed crime, it is lost in the joy of do­ ing justice to the son who would take advantage of circumstances to assume his father's guilt." But Oliver, with a fire which noth­ ing could damp, spoke up again: "Gentlemen, will you see my fa­ ther so degrade himself? He has dwelt so continually upon the knowledge which separated us a dozen years ago that he no longer can discriminate be­ tween the guilty and the innocent. Would he have sat In court; would he have uttered sentences; would he have kept his seat upon the bench for all these years, if he had borne with­ in his breast this secret of personal guilt? No. It is not in human nature to play such a part. I was guilty--and I fled. Let the act speak for itself. The respect due my father must not be taken from him." Confusion and counter-confusion! What were they to think! AlanBon Black, aghast at this dread dilemma, ran over in his mind all that had led j|Mm to accept Oliver's guilt as proved, and then, in immediate opposition to it, the details of that old trial and the judge's consequent life; and. voicing the helpless confusion of the others, observed with forced firmness: "We have heard much of Oliver's wanderings in the ravine on that fatal night, but nothing of yours, Judge Os­ trander. It is not enough for you to say that you were there; you must prove it." "The proof is in my succumbing to the shock of hearing Oliver's name as­ sociated with this crime. Had he been guilty--had our separation come through his crime and not through my own, I should have been prepared for such a contingency, and not over­ whelmed by it." "And were you not prepared?? "No, before God! ' boy who went away looked better to some Homeburg girl than any of those who stayed at home. There's Carrie Moore.

But Cyrus didn't carve out his future. He married it instead, and Carrie is almost sixty now, living alone and getting peculiar, like so many of our lonely old folks do.-- George s fitch in the American Maga­ zine,' ] The gesture accompanying this oath was a grand one, convincing in iU fervor, its uiajfesty and power. But facts are stubborn things, and while most of those present were still thrilling under the effect of this oath, the dry voice of District Attorney An­ drews was heard for the first time, in these Words: "Why, then, did you, on the night of Bela's death, stop on your* way across the bridge to look back upon Dark Hollow and cry in the bitterest tones which escape human lips, 'Oliver! Oli­ ver!' You were heard to speak this nangb, fudge Ostrander," , he hastily pht it, as the miserable father raised his hand in ineifctual protest. "A man was lurking in the darkness behind you, who both saw and heard you. . He may not be the most pre­ possessing of witness, hut we cannot discredit his story." "Mr. Andrews, you have no children. To the man who has, I make my last appeal. Mr. Renfrew, you know the human heart $oth *.s a father and a pastor. Do you find anything unnatural in a guilty soul bemoaning its loss rather than its sin. In the spot which recalled both to his . overburdened spirit?" , "No." "v;:.\v/*;"• V •' The wor4 oaito shaarply * Jsnd it Sounded decisive; hut the ones which followed from Mr. Andrews were no less so. "That is not enough. We want evi­ dence, actual evidence, that you are not playing the part your son ascribes to you." The judge's eyes glared, then sud­ denly and incomprehensively softened till the quick fear that his mind as well as his memory had gone astray, van­ ished in a feeling none of them could have characterized, but which gave to them all an expression of awe. "I have such evidence," announced the judge. "Come." Turning, he stepped into the hall. Oliver, with bended head and a dis­ couraged mien, quickly followed. Alanson Black and the others, cast­ ing startled and inquiring looks at each other, brought up the rear. Deb­ orah Scovilie was nowhere to be seen. At the door of his own room, the judge paused, and with his hand on the curtain, remarked with unexpected composure: "You have all -wondered, and others with you, why for the last ten years I have kept the gates of my house shut against every comer. 1 am going to Bhow you." And with no further word or look, scarcely even giving attention to Oli­ ver's anguished presence, he led them into the study and from there on to that inner door known and talked of through the t6wn as the door of mys­ tery. This he slowly opened with the key he took from his pocket; then, pausing with the knob in bis band, he said: "In the years which are past, hut two persons beside myself have crossed this threshold, and these only under my eye. Its secret was for my own breast. Judge what my remorse has been; judge the power of my own secret self-condemnation, by what you see here." And, entering, he reached up, and pulled aside the carpet he had strung up over one end of the room, disclosing amid a number of loosened boards, the barred cell of a condemned convict. "This was my bed, gentlemen, till a stranger coming into my home, made such an acknowledgement of my sin im­ possible!" self-hatred ane secret immolation can never undo the deed of an Infuriated moment., Eternity may console, bet it can never make me innocent oft the blood of my heart's brother. We had had ofir usual wordy disa­ greement over some petty subject in which he was no nearer wrong nor I any nearer right than we had been many times before; but for some rea­ son I found, it harder to pardon him. For the first time in our long ao quaintance, I let Algernon Etheridge leave me, without any attempt at con­ ciliation. , If onl|f I had halted there? If, at sight of my empty study, I had not conceived the mad notion of waylaying him at the bridge for the hand-shake I missed, I might have been a happy man now, and Oliver--But why dwell upon these might-haTe-beens! What happened was this: Disturbed in mind, and finding my­ self alone in the house, Oliver having evidently gone out while we two were disputing, I decided to follow out the impulse I have mentioned. Leaving by the rear, I went down the lane to the path which serves as a short cut to the bridge. That I did this unseen by anybody is not so strange when you consider the hour, and how the only person then living in the lane was, in all probability, in her kitchen. It would have been better for me, little as I might have recognized it at the time, had she been where she could have witnessed both my going and coming and faced me with the fact. John Scoville, in his statement, says that after giving up his search for his little girl he wandered up the ravine before taking the path back which led him through Dark Hollow. This was false, as well as the story he told of leaving his stick by the chestniit tree in the gully at foot of Ostrander lane. For I was on the spot, and I know the route by which' he reached Dark Hollow and also through whose agency the stick came to be there. Read and learn with what trtekt the devil beguiles us men.

His odd ways, his lank, possibly ungainly, fig­ ure crowned by a head of scholarly refinement, his amiability when pleased, his irascibility when crossed, formed a character attractive to me from its very contradictions; and after my wife's death and' before my son Oliver reached a companionable age, it was in my intercourse with this man I found my most solid satisfaction. Yet we often quarreled. His dog­ matism frequently ran counter to my views, and, being myself a man of qnick and violent temper, hard words sometimes passed between us, to be forgotten the next minute in a hand­ shake. or some other token of mutual esteem. These dissensions--if such they could be called--never took place except in the privacy of his study or mine.

German medical science ii world- famed and has proved a godsend to mankind. Yet the science may be said to have been founded by the quacks of former centuries, for, while quack­ ery, has always flourished in all coun­ tries, Germany was long the leader in turning out practicioners of this dubi­ ous profession. They were often men of Imagination akin to genius, and they traveled all over Europe. A ma­ jority of the celebrated quacks of England were Germans, and the'r methods of advertising their "cures" were very similar to those of the "In­ dian medicine men" who still flourish In the rural districts of America. "Having studied over Galem, Hypo- crates, Albumaser and Paracelsus, I am now become the Esculapius of the age," modestly announced one medi­ eval quack, according to an early play, "having been educated at twelve kingdoms and been counselor to the counselors of several mouarcks^ By the earnest prayers of several lords, earls, dukes and honorable person­ ages I have been at last prevailed upon to oblige the world with this no­ tice; Thai all persons, young and old, blind or lame, deaf or dumb, cur­ able -or incurable, may know where to repair for cure in all cephalalgias, paralytic paroxysms, palpitations of the pericardium, empyemas, syncopes and nasieties,. arising either from a plethory or a cachochymy, veryiginous vapors, hydrocephalus exacerbation, odontalgic or podagrical inflammations and the entire legion of tethnerous distempers. v • ' 'This is nature's palladium, health's magazine, and it works seven manner of ways, as nature requires, for it scorns to be confined to any particular mode of operation."

Since the formation in 1862 of .the famous coalition cabinet which went to pieces during the Crimean war, but served its purpose admirably for two years, there has been no such radi­ cal ,change in a British ministry aa that of recent date. That ministry was created, like the new one, with­ out tM^^rmality of a general elec­ tion, and it included, with the excep­ tion of Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli, every man of genuine ability as a leader in both the great parties. Pal- merston's war cabinet, which succeed­ ed it, in the excitement caused bv Roebuck's charges of army misman­ agement, was wholly tory. The coali­ tion, in later years, of the liberal un­ ionists with the conservatives was not of so great political significance. The so-called liberal unionists who left the party of Mr. Gladstone and the Duke of Devonshire because of their opposition to Irish home rule have never since had a separate political existence. The cabinet of the Mar­ quis of Salisbury, to which they be­ longed. survived all the political op­ position engendered by the mistakes of the Boer war.
