He suspected him to be what he wasâ€"- a shrewd, smooth, plausible villain. Had he obeyed his first impulse he would have picked up his hat and left Frye to wash his hands with invisible soap, and laid his case before some other lawyer, but he hesitated. Frye, he knew, had the matter in his hands and might make the claim that his story was false and fight it with all the legal weapons Uncle Terry so much dreaded. In the out? he decided to put the matter in Frye’s hands and hope for the best. It is said that those who hesitate are lost, and at this critical moment Uncle Terry hesitated. be, other claimants. Litigation may follow, and so the cost is an uncertain one.

There may be, and no doubt will “And do I understand you wish to retain me as your counsel in this mat- ter 1nd lay claim to this estate, Mr. Terry '2" continued Frye. “Waal, I've told ya the facts,” re- plied Uncle Terry, “an’ i! the gal’s got money comin’ I‘d like to see her git it.

Terry,” he laid nt last. “A very well told tale indeed! Of course you have retained all the article. you any were found on the child ?" Frye stroked his nose reflectively, stooping over as he did and watching his visitor with hawk-like eyes. “That’l the curl: part." replied Uncle Terry. “She was put 12: a box nn’ tied 'tween two feather bed. nn’ cum ashore dry as a duck.” “How did this chltd live to get eehore?” uked Frye, keenly interest- an’ so she's ourn.

He seemed overjoyed, and for two hours they sat and talked it over. “When may I begin?” he said finally. “I want to go at it ritht nway." “Tomorrow morning et 0 o’clock mm." replied Albert, smiling, “and I warn you I shall keep you grinding eight tull hours six day. t week and no let up until July 1.

In my case I had the spur of necessity to urge me on, and even with that stimulus it was a dry, hard grind. With you, who have all the money you need and are likely to. it will be much worse. I respect your feelings, and I admire your determina- tion very much, and of course do not wish to discourage you. You are more than welcome to my once and law books. and I will gladly help you all I can," and then, after a moment‘s re- flection, he added, “I believe it’s a wise step, and I’ll be very glad to have you with me. You can help me out in a good many ways also that will ad- vance you even faster than steady reading.” He was surprised at the look of pleasure that came into Frank’s face. Albert looked at him a moment. while an amused smile crept over his face. I am sick of it. I want you to let m0 come into your omce and study law. Will you?” I can manage to get through the day.

Ever since I left college I’ve been an idler, and I can’t say I’m enjoying it. I arise in the marning and wonder how One evening at the club he made A)- bert a rather surprising proposition. Albert. who seldom entered into any card games and only occasionally play- ed pool or billiards. was in the reading room as usual enjoying a cigar and the evening paper when Frank drew up a chair and sat down. They were alone. and as Page laid his paper aside Frank laid: “Don’t mind me, Bert,” that uneasy man would say when. he saw that Page was busy, “and if you don’t want me to talk any time. tell me to shut up. I shan’t {col offended. The fact is I don’t know what to do with myself. If it were only summer I'd go off on the Gypsy even if I had to so alone.” After their visit to Sandgate Frank and himself naturally drifted intomnre intimate relations. and a day seldom passed that Frank did not step into 1in office for a chat. In his intimate relations with John Nason he saw enough to satisfy himself that Frye’s insinuation against that busy. man’s character was entirely false. Mr. Nason seldom spent an evening away from his home, end when he did it was to attend the theater with his family. Siam the day he had shaken his not at the closed door of Mr. Frye's law or- fice Albert had met that hawk noaod lawyer twice and received only a chill- ing how.

But Hawthorne has a wider claim upon our gratitudeâ€"namely, the fact that he has set the seal of glorious achievement in letters upon the moral laws of our nature. The greatest things done in literature have been of this sort. They alone, from Job down, are remembered and cherished in the ages. Hawthorne is our only exponent of genius in this field. and how superb- ly has he filled it! His message is that of Dante and St. Paul and all great moralistsâ€"whatever a man does to an- other he does to himself, whether it be good or evil. Men will forever dwell in this truth and will never forget mu’ses over the wonder of it and will not sufler the pull of darkness to hang over it forever. That we have in Haw- thorne an author whose work in these high fields of thought is crowned with unimpeachable honor and is sure of perpetual remembrance is a constant satisfaction as years go by. The High ltandard They Have 60¢ For American Literature. Two things are to be remembered when Hawthorne’s name is mentioned. First, the glory he reflects upon Amer- ican literature. Little has been done by us in letters or art that is quite at the highest order except the works of Hawthorne. These have the clear promise of perpetuity. The themes are of supreme and universal moment. He rises to their meaning and depicts them in commensurate form. He is not a preacher to cry aloud, but an artist who paints, yet not without a heart that throbs in pity and a fancy that Then is no The second instance occurred on the 6th of November. 1792, when the French, under Dumouriez, encountered the Austrians at Jcmmapcs, in Belgi- um. The day was going dead against the French, when Dmnouriez ran out to the front and raised the “Marseil- laise.” Forty thousand voices instantly took up the chorus. and, inspired by the magic of the battle song. the French rallied and fell so furiously upon the Austrians that the tide of battle was completely turned and vic- tory given for defeat. Two Instances Where the Tide Wu Turned by Singing Them. There are two instances on record of a battle being won by a war song. In the fifth century Germanus, bishop of Auxerre, and Lupus, bishop of Troyes, were sent into Britain to refute the doctrines of Pelagius. During their stay in this island the Picts and Scots, hearing that the Roman legion had been withdrawn, commenced hostili- ties and drove the Britons from the northern to the more southern parts of the island. Germanus, at the request of the hard pressed islanders, led them against the Plots and Scots, who had advanced as far as Mold, in Flintshire. The bishop, having been a military commander in his youth, placed his men in an advantageous position and then started one of the songs of the church. This song began at the com- mencement of the battle. and so vocif- erously did the Britons sing the re- frain, “Halleluiah,” that the hills, ech- oing with the sound, terrified their en- emies and caused them to flee in all di- rections. This was called the hallelu- iah victory. The date is fixed by all historians at A.

What was it you said to Frank the last evening of our visit at home? He has de- cided to study law in my omce and ad- mits his resolution to do so was the re- sult of a remark you made then. Know- ing what a fine vein or sarcasm you are blessed with. I am curious to know what sort of an arrow you drew from your quiver that evening. It was soon after Frank's new depar- ture in life that Alice received a letter from her brother, and among other things he wrote: Frank showed a perseverlng spirit as the weeks went by and became an ardent student. In a way, too, he was a help to Albert, for he could call on him any time to find some references or some decision bearing on a case in hand. “I think far more of you, Frank,” he said earnestly, “for this resolve, and when you get fairly into it you will be glad you took hold. I believe every one in this world is happier and healthier for having an occupation, and certain- ly you will be." When Frank came to the omce next morning, Albert set him to work and gave him all possible encouragement. no reply. and u be scanned his friend‘s face, now turned ellghtly away from him. and recalled that last evening at home and how Allce had no pereletently devoted herself to the entertainment of this young men. n revelation came to him. of it!” HAWTHORN E’S WORKS.
