TOM KELLER AND IIIS
DAUGHTER NANCY.
Continued from Iasi week.
Dr. Stone learned that John Gil*
moie had mot with financial reverses
two years before, and had soon af
terwatds died in extreme poverty.
From that time forward his widow
had supported herself and child by
her own labor. Her health had fail
ed recently, and she fell on the street
that morning from exhaustion
massed by disease and hunger. She
was provided with cyery necessary
comfort ? and nursed with tender care
A few fays .Intel she was restored
to her former condition, and in tho
absence of mental worry, and under
the skillful treatment of Dr. Stone
and a generous diet, it sea med to a
casual observer that she might fully

reco ver. Dr. Stone was too skillful,
as a physician, to be long deluded
by hopes of bar full restoration -to
heal:h. He soon saw that sorrow,
privation, and labor beyond her
strength, had undermined her
constitution, broken her health, and
that a few months at furthest
would cpse" life’s weary, feverish
fretful dream.
He had conquered his passion for
her, the keen pain and bitter an¬
guish was gone. lie remembered
her aa-iwa remember a beautiful vis¬
ion ora pleasant dream. When his
past life'unrolled before him in pan“
oramic view Rose Taylor had al

Such were the state of his feeling
and life prospects, when ha unex^
pectedly met his old swe etheart in
poverty aud on the brink.of the
grave. Her wretchedness and friend*
less condition aroused his keenest
sympathies, aud revived the old ten¬
der passion that he thought he had
put down forever.- The tore, light
that kindled in her eyea at his com¬
ing, told him more plainly than
speech, that time had not diminished
.her affections, and that while what
she accepted as duty had bound her
to another, her heart had been true
to its first lore.

He had ouvn thought to

himself umqu.il to the task, and
finally gave it up. Reaching this
conclusion he reasoned, why should
shebe undeceived and why should
not her few remaining days be made
bright and happy. As the summer
waned and auturn took on the beau¬
tiful gold tints, it was apparent to
the watchful eyes of Dr. Stone fliat
the end was drawing nigh, and lie
felt it to be his imperative duty to
speak to her of her precarious con¬
dition, hut this painful task was
spared him.
As he joined her one evening
where she was resting in an easy
chair on the porch, she motioned
him to a seat near her, and. inform'
ed him that she knew her .lire ^was
ebbing away t and had known from
the first that she hbuld not:recover.
She had been rejoiced to meef mui

T1IE AmT-l'OYEKT F SOCIETY
The Meaner Passions of Man to
Which George and Mc
Glyuu Appeal.
There is something eery mclau
choly in the enterprise which Dr.
Mcflllyua and Mr. Henry George set
on foot at Chicksi ing Hall on Sunday
evening. Ever since society has been
organized on an industrial basis it has
been fairly well understood that the
conditions of prosperity in the world
were industry and frugality. Those
grew rich above their neighbors who
worked harder and denied themselves
more sternly than their neighbors.
The average condition has been that
of living from hand to mouth, as the
saying is, simply because the average
man has refused to do more work
than would suply Ins immediate needs
and lus been incapable of the' self
denial requt red to make provision
for th e future. Those who have
fallen below the average and have
become burdens upon the workers
of the community have done so be
cause they have been incapable of
even the average of industry and
self-denial. Whether they are disa¬
bled in mind or body from doing
their share of the world’s work, or
wilfully shirk if, the result is the
same.'
Of course there are exceptions. Akl
there ire men who are poor by un¬
merited calamity, so there are men.
who grow rich by fraud. But the
truth that prosperity comes from
hard’Yvork and self-denial and that;
poverty is the result of laziness and
self-indulgen ce is none the less pat 1 ;
ent to every man and woman in the
LulfeA States. It w *
experience teaches them daily, and
ii is a most wholesome and tisefu}
Ajsspn. It is the real explanation
and the only explanation of “Progress
and .Poverty,” and it is recognized
to he so by everybody who docs not
delude himself or is not deluded
Others.*.'"'
• Nevertheless, it is an explanation
Very distasteful to those who are dis¬
contented with their lot and whojind
it bitter to aclmff that their fortunes
correspond to their deserts. As these
pprions comprise almost all mankind
a man Who offers another explaaaq
ties by which prosperity is made ir->
Relevant to merit, not as the excep¬
tion, bht as the lule, -is sure of an
eager hearing, even from those whose
own experience emphatically contra¬
dicts his teachings. XI© appeals, in
jthe Hist place, to that envy which is
one of the meanest of human sent!

■
‘ish it have generally the grace to feel
ashamed, They are more than rea¬
id y to be persuaded that they ought
not to be ashamed of it, and that
their envy of the prosperous is not a
malicious dislike of intelligence and
industry greater than their own, bnt
a noble indignation against trickery
and fraud.,: if-they are told that

[by Mi. Ifonry George /.os made no
impression. They declare that his
diagnosis of society is incorrect and
his remedy preposterous^ that the
possession of even great riches by
one man is neither on the face of it
nor in fact an injury to another who
does not possess them, and that in.
cqualiliesof fortune is not “wrong”
in any sense in which inequality of
intellect is not Wrong, or a deluge or

Uneducated persons who are also
envious peisons are apt to be much
more deeply affected by the teachings
of Mr, George, whether promulgated
by himselt or by Dr, McGlynn,
They do not care about, the processes
by which the conclusion is reached
but tne condussion is deeply
gratifying to them. As' if is inter¬
preted by' them, this conclusion _i?
that they bought” tb'bo ricln r, and
that they are to become rich by ac¬
quiring weal ^h,itoW-iff possos^q - of

better adapted to, gratify envy than
this proposition, and nothing, there¬
