And, so saving, the woman hurried awey.
* * * * # *
Meanwhile as Isidora w;is walking in tin
garden, the schoolmaster of Volothol madd
bis appearance there, and announced that
he had come to speak to tho vicar. The
man looked out of humor, and was biting
his linger-nails woefully.
“What is your business with my uncle?”
she asked.
"I w ish to talk to him’about the new chap
lain, Miss Isidora,” the schoolmaster an
swered, crossly.
“lias he been interfering in any way with
the school affairs?”
“Yes, miss; ho wants to manage it as no
other school was ever before managed, here
or elsewhere, I should say."
M "Is it possible? Pray, tell me all about
it. ”
“Well, to begin with: when first ho en
tered tho school-room, I paid him the com
pliment of making some of the children
repeat their catechism; when, judge of my
surprise, I heard him asking them if they
understood tho meaning of all they had re
hearsed! He took the brats one by one,
and, so to speak, bad it all out with them.
Think of that miss! Village boys being
hsked if tl v lnderstood!"
“Oh, abs t-* quite absurd! That was
something becoming of a priest to do!” she
rancorously cried. “But what more?”
“Well, for a short time nothing happened,
Until two boys, no higher than a table, who
are always quarreling, were going to fight,
jl took down my rod, intending to give
them a regular thrashing; when, would you
believe it, the chaplain took the birch out
of my hand, and bade the two little
wretches stand before him, one on his right
hand, and the other on his left, and said to
hie, * Children must be taught with love,
Dot with fear!’ Could I stand that, miss?
And, finally, he made the lads shake hands
with one another.”
Miss Isidora lifted up her eyes.
“Why, we shall have a rebellion in Vol
othol!" she said. “I will tell the vicar all
this the moment he returns home.”
“Thank you, miss. You have great
power; I hope that yon will kindly exert
(t for the benefit of us all. Depend on it,
the new chaplain is a most dangerous man
who will strive to bring confusion and
trouble upon us all.”
CHAPTER IV.
The vicar did not return until supper
time. lie and the young priest came in
evening meal, and, after it was over, took
out her embroidery, and commenced work
ing. She was looking as pleasant as a
sunny morning; the sweetness of the young
man’s temper touched her, and, for a time,
Rhe felt reluctant to broach the subject of
which she was so full.
Presently she mentioned the school, and
spoke of Albert’s visit there, and of what
he 6aid and did on that occasion.
Albert tried to change the conversation,
but, strive as he would, back it went to the
school
“You know nothing about children,” she
ran on, “and, of course, do not kuow how
to treat them. lam sute it is best to be se
vere with them.”
At that, Albert leaned toward her, and
placed his finger on one of tho flowers she
had embroidered. “This flower is misplaced
—it ought to have commenced there. ”
The lady laughed outright. “Oh, indeed!
should it? Y’ou understand nothing at aH
about it, and don’t know what you are
saying. ”
“Oh, what does that signify?” retorted
he, pointedly. “People often give opinions
on subjects of which they know’ nothing!”
Miss Isidora drew in her lips, and her
eyes flashed angrily. Then she sprung up
in haste, overturned her chair, and rushed
out of the apartment, banging the door
after her with such violence that tho w hole
house seemed to shake again.
“My young friend, what are you about?”
inquired the vicar. “I shall be ill if you
disturb the quiet of my house.”
“I was wrong,” returned Albert. “I dare
say she was only joking.”
“Joking! Oh. dear, no! you must not
suppose that. My niece is accustomed to
have her own way. Oh, you will get used
to it; one gets used to many things in this
world. ”
Albert did not reply, and the vicar po
litely changed the subject, and began to
talk of other matters.
On the following morning, Albert tried
to make his peace with Miss Isidora, who
listened to him with cold politeness. He
felt that he bad unwittingly made her his
enemy, and ho was very sorry for it, and
ever afterward avoided entering into any
sort of a discussion with her.
* * * * *
It was .winter now. Albert worked ns
siduonsly, and early and late; and from one
end of Volothol to the other, people s
months wore filled with praise of him.
There was not n resident in tho valley, or
for miles around it, that did not respect
and love Albert their priest. With the
youu g and the old, both, he was equally a
favorite; and tho doors of all llew wide at
his approach. He did not go about with a
long visage and a doleful voice; he taught
the holy word with cheerful utterance, and
all grew hopeful as they listened to him.
Miss Isidora's brow still continued to
wear a cloud in his presence; and the more
popular tho new chaplain became in the
village, the more she appeared to dislike
him. , **,
Albort’s health had not returned with its
fwrraer strength, and ns tho winter was au
extremely severe one, his cough was some
times very violent. The doctor advised
him to bo careful of himself, and recom
mended him to have a fire in his bed
chamber: but ho paid very h;tlo attention
to that advioo, feeling that lie could not
humble himself to ask for the comforts he
required at the hands of Miss Isidora. He
suffered much, and he suffered silently.
Fran/.i and Albert, although dwelling be
neath the same roof, seldom encountered
one another. When they did chance to
meet, he would give her a kind word which
she ever received with a mute but grateful
i0 At length came Christmas Evo. Albert
was in his own room, and the hour for the
midnight service was drawing near lie

ftgaimit him. I bin clicumfltance informed
him that there wm noma ono in the house.
IL* Who' keil, and, presently, tho portal uan
ODcloHed, ami Albert and Franzi stood face
to face. Both, for a moment, remained
Voiceless. The lamp which she was hold
ing aloft showed to him her blight, nut
brown hair and her trusting eyes.
“You here!” spoke Albert “I thought
you wore gone to chapel long ago.”
“And so 1 was,” she answered, limply.
But tho sick cow is suffering ho that I
came homo to give her a warm driuk. But
1 mean to go back again presently.”
4 You are not looking ho well as formerly, ”
he observed, regarding her closely, “You
are much thinner, I think.”
Bhe did not reply, bufrdropped hor bend.
“But, now, come, and light my lamp,” ho
continued, with a shiver. “How frightfully
cold Ido fool! 1 tremble as if 1 had the
aguo. 1 fear I have taken another cold,”
he added, us he vent up stairs, Franzi fol
lowing him.
As he entered his room, a chilly gust met
him.
The girl lit the lamp, and put tho green
shade over it. Then she ’paused, us if
awaiting further orders from him,
“You look unhappy, Franzi,” ho re
marked. “Wherefore?”
he hesitated a few seconds before she
replied.
“You forget, reverend sir, that I am a
foundling without a living creature to cure
for me,” she said with a profound sigh.
"Without any one to care for you,
Franzi!” he repeated, somewhat reproach
fully. “That is not tiuo. Have you not
me? lam your brother, Franzi; and I have
promised my father that I will treat you
ever as a sister, aud endeavor to find out
your unnatural parents, if they ho still
alive. Have you anything that would as
sist me in my design?”
“Nothing, reverend sir, but a ring, which
I have never shown to any ono. But to-day
being a holy festival, I put it on.”
“Show it me.”
She removed it from her finger, and pre
sented it to him.
“I see nothing hero but some half worn
out letters,’’ he said, after examining it
close to the lamp. “I will look at it again by
day'ight, if you will trust me with it then."
“Willingly—willingly, reverend sir!" she
eag- rly returned.
“Thunks!” (returning the ring). Now we
are friends, Franzi,” he said, taking her
hand, and drawing her toward him, until
he felt her warm breath wafting over hie
cheek. But here awoke the good spirit
which lived in his heart, and he at once
dropped the hand he held, and drew back.
“And 1 love you, Franzi. as I would a sis
ter,” he added, unsteadily.
He uttered not a word more. He felt
with pain that he did not “love her as a
sister. ”
“Shall I light you a fire, sir?” she asked,
seeing him shudder.
“Do so, my little sister.”
She then hastened away to fetch some
wood for the stove.
“Had Franzi understood bis thoughts?”
he asked himself. “Oh, heaven forbid!”
Presently he heard the girl Hurrying up
the stairs, and at the same moment the
angry voice of the vicar’s niece smote his
ear. Albert opened the door, and stood on
the landing beforo the mistress and hei
hapless dependant.
“ What is all this, you shameless, wicked
creature?” Miss Isidora cried. “I am come
home to witness nra!*'xjlwt*;* L ”a* n *
my fault I felt ill, ami my room being too
cold to Bit in, Franzi offered to light me a
fire in it.”
“Why was the girl not at chapel 0 ” the
lady demanded, casting a suspicious glance
at poor Franzi. “Does it look proper foi
her to remain secretly at home, think you?"
she added, her anger rising at every word
she spoke.
“Not a syllable against my sister, or "
“Sister!” interrupted Miss Isidora, scorn
fully. “Have matters gone so far as that?
I will not allow her to remain a minute
longer in the house!”
Here the speaker made a step toward her
victim, and Franzi uttered a scream. Bui
Albert caught Isidora’s arm ere it fell upon
the girl, and drew her, struggling, away. In
that strugyle she slid from him and fell
heavily to the floor, where she lay with the
blood flowing from a wound in her temple.
Albert stood like one who had suddenly
lost his wits. At his feet knelt poor Franzi,
weeping and wringing her hands.
At this juncture the vicar appeared, and
behind him could be seen the red head oi
the village schoolmaster.
“Young man,” said the former, severely,
“do you know what you have done? Blood
has been spilt by you! I suspend you.
You are unworthy of your holy calling! To
morrow’ you leave the vicarage. I have
done with you, and shall only remember
you in my prayers. ”

Hanking Methods in St. Louis.
They are doing business on the same
old plan in St. .Louis to-day that was in
vogue there when the French squatted
down on tho levee. A Chicago lady, who
was there recently, relates the following:
“I went into one of the banks and
told the gentleman at the window that I
w anted to buy a draft. Ho asked me ii
I had any oue to identify me. Thinking
ho had misunderstood me I laid down m v
money*and said: ‘I presume that if
sufficient 'identification.’ He said it
wasn’t. I then repeated that I wished
to buy a draft, not get one cashed. He
said ho understood me quite, and begged
leave to assure me that I .must be iden
tified before I could get wliat I wanted.
I asked him if that wasn’t something un
usual. He said it was ono of the early
customs of banking in Ht. Louis, and
they had to keep it up. St. Louis people
were accustomed to it, and it wouldn 1
do to try and put up any new tricks on
thorn. . „ . .
This reminded my informant of some
thing that had also occurred in bt. Louis.
An old and very wealthy man of the
town, whose constant companion was
white and black dog, liad been in the
habit of coming to tho Sub-Treasury al
certain periods f< >r the purpose of get
ting coupons of his bonds cashed. Out
day lie presented himself for that pur
pore and the cashier refused to give him
tho money. The old man demanded tc
know why.
“I don’t know you,” said tho cashier.
“But I have been hero before and
never was denied," the man answered.
The cashier looked at him a moment
and then said: “Whore is your black
and white dpg that always comes with
von, if von are the same man ;
The old man’s eyes tilled with tears as
ho told the cashier that dog was dead.
“Well,” replied the cashier, “lam sor
ry to hoar that, but you'll have to bring
something here t. identify you now. 1
don't know you without tho dog.

from his mouth early in the morning,
and it was late in the afternoon before it
couli} lie stopped. lie weakened his
condition by extensively dosing liimsell
with calomel, previous to being taken
sick. The epidemic has developed some
of the worst frauds in the way of nurses
that ever went into a sick room. They
came from other places professing to be
experienced nurses, and expecting to get
good pay, and when sent to a patient
showed their utter want of knowledge in
the business of which they claimed to be
professionals. A party of twenty nurses
were sent back to their homes in various
cities, their services being no longer re
quired. Some of them have been in
Jacksonville but a few days and have not
been assigned to any duty. A cold wave
has made the outlook at Decatur, Ala.,
more encouraging. Four cases haves
been reported during the last twenty

Several patients have been dis
