But, Lord, I come to i'hee,
Oh, strengthen me, I pray;

Prepare the ground for me,

Then, hear me, Lord, 1 pray,

A LOST HSC
Edgar Arnton had made a highly impor
tant discovery, and one that troubled him.
He w&ft'a Surgeon, and one given to exam
ining hearts. For a full hour, in the gather
ing summer twilight of the Park avenue, he
had applied ft is sternest faculties To the Vest
ing, in another sense, oT his own. The de
cision to which, very unwillingly, he catne
was that his dim suspicions of the past three
months Wcho well-founded. 110 was in love.
The thrill which had gone through him as
he clasped Kate Gerrovv’s hand on leaving
her uncle’s gates that very evening pointed '
in that dWec'tfotV. Yl.'i teipahhioh of soul
and the exhilaration of mind wbicli he con
tinually experienced in her presence, the
longing that often seized him in his moments
of professional disgtist and Weariness to
feast his eyes, if only for an instant, on
Kate’s bonny face, all drove homo the un
welcome conviction.
In the course of hi'a filial Vulrh. along the
broad path between the whispering poplars
Edgar formed a resolution. Entering Brix
by he encountered the very friend he had I
desired to consult.
Mr. Trent MS a solicitor, many years the
young medical man’s senior, and his only
confidant in all ibe country-side.
“If you are disengaged for fen minutes or
so, Mr. Trent,” said Edgar, “I should like
to have a talk with yttu about Mr. Gerrow’s
niece.”
“I am perfectly at your service. You are
smitten by a great ttpprfe'citltioh of Miss Ger
row’f charms. I have seen it coming a long
time.”
Edgar smiled a little sardonically in the
dimness.
“It’s a lawyer’s business to be far-sight
ed,” he said. “I have foiitid it out now—
the fact of which yuti speak —and I am
afraid only just in time.”
A harshness was in his tone which sur
prised the listener.
“I do not understand,” said Mr. Trent.
“Why. I mean that, had the disease gone
further, I might have proved unable to over
come it, ns I mean to do now.”
“Yoll IlfitohiSh me Hidffe iind Wore. Miss
Gerrow is beautiful, of good birth, and well
educated. She is an heiress into the bstrt
gain; and, if she cares for you, arid yoiir un
cle conpents, what possible obstacle can in
tervene?” ,
“tou have said,” retiirtled Edgar, mood
ily, “she is an heiress.”
The lawyer hit his lips to keep ftdW & lolld
explosion of misplaced merriment.
“The very thing that, whether she were
prettv or plain, would make her ’jiiitb iiti tit
traction to most suitors.”
“1 aih awiift! df It. Bat lam not like the
majority. lam poor, my prospects are bar
ren enough; all the world would say I was
forthne-hunting— marrying for money if it
came to a marriage. She might learn to
thi nklfe too, and that I could not bear. I
lidvb secfi\>leiJty of this already—in my own
family.”
The concentrated pathos of the last sen
tence; abd rn^vol notary sigh which cofi
ciudeil it, solicitor. Ilis medi
tated words of haltering remonstrance were
ildt tittered.
“What shall you do, then?” he asked.
“Shun the danger, fight the temptation,
work harder. I cannot run away as in oth
er circumstances 1 might be tempted to do;
tfay living'fies in Brixby. But you can help
me considerably in the struggle, if you will.”
“II How?”
“When you see rhe running any risk of a
tete-a-tete with Ylisa Gerrow and you can.
posdfhly interfere, do so.”
“And make you hate me for it. I will
not promise.”
“I shall not hate you—l shall be Vcrj
grateful. T must meet lieT frequently, at
the houses of mutual friends. You will oft
en be able to make me your debtor in the
way I say.”
’ TheYoVte the pair had taken brought
them at this point within the coruo'n of hab
itations again.
With a few more wo'rds ol less special in
terest they parted for the night. As Ed
g*tr*& tall, athletic figure disappeared
amongst the mingling shadows of treo and
cottage, the lawjer turned and gazed for a
moment.
“Foor fellow! there has been misery in
his lot in earlier years, I know,” he mutter*
ed to himself; “and he is by no means sbfb
6f UiS oWn power to withstand in this mat
ter, 'ot h'e would not appeal to any friend.”
CHAPTER 11.
It was even sr, Edgar Arntob mistrusted
himself despite the apparent firmness of his
resolution. As fate would have it, a week
later he was thrown into Kate Harrow's
company eyen more constantly and more in
titnately thftP before. Mr. Gerrow was tak
en suddenly ill. Edgar had to attend him
and to labor hard to ward off an attack ot
probably fatal apoplexy.
They were a lonely couple, the wealthy,
eccentric owner of Brixby Lodge and the
fair young girl whe was reputed his heiress.
Kate was an only child, and an orphan.
Neither she nor her uncle had any kinsfolk
in the neighborhood. Cousins, Kate believ
ed she had somewhere in the north; but
there had been tin estrangement in the fam
ily, ail'd these site l’Ad ticVcl- ee'f.'n.
“Is it anything dangerous, Mr. Arnton?
My uncle will recover, will he net?” Kate
asked, rs, after a careful examination of his
patient, Edgar stood for a moment or two in
the wide, old fashioned hull.
“I sin'cerely tVus't fiVv, Miss Gerrow,” he
replied; “of course, I dare not disguise from
you thftt theVe is risk —grave risk that is in
separable from such cases; but I see not the
least reasons for despair. I’rajr do not wor
ry yourself unnecessarily.”
“My uncle is the only relative I have liv
ing in the whole west of England,” she said.
li You will n’dT ednbeal his real condition
from me at any time, I beg, Mr. Arnton,”
she subjoined.
“No, Miss GcrroM', I will be quite frank,
although it is a medical privilege to be dis
creet, you know. But you will need a train
ed nurse; the work will be too delicate for
ordinary servants, and too wearying by far
for you. May 1 Bend yoli one frohi the Ilol
stead Infirmary?”
“If you think that that will be the best
course to take. But I shall ceitainly wait
upon uncle principally ihyself.”
And so Kato did. And day by day in his
visits Edgar Arnton met her, and fell more
deeply in love. Not that he abandoned in
any degree his deteruinfltiph to refrain from
becoming Kate’s suitor. That resolve was
firm as ever. lie simply elected to drift
with the tide.
The patient gradliHUy recovered, nnd bore
grateful testimony to Edgar’s professional
skill.
The mend was not for long, though; a
message in the clfeiid of night some few weeks
after took Edgar hurriedly away to Brixby
Lodge, to find that another seizure had prov
ed _ ftitnl.
Kate’s grief was intense. Edgar must
have appeared cold and distant in the dark
days before hfer Uncle’s funeral, for he now
felt hittiself compelled to keep down his
sympathy with an iron hand and to breathe
condolence in the molt conventional of phra
sbs. But for so doing he feit ihorally sure
that his vow of personal silence would ha J /e
been irretrievably broken.
But in tiie course of time an odd rumor
reached him. The old man’s had been
read, and Kate was not an heiress after all.
With a chaos of conflicting emotions within
his breast, Edgar called on Mr. Trent and
learned the truth.
“The document is dated ten years back,
before Miss Gerrow came to live With her
Uncle,” skid the solicitor; “there is no doubt
as to its genuineness. Every one thoiight
he had made a later one—l did thyself— but
hone can he found beside this. I suppose
he put the business off, as so many people
do, until it was too late. The property all
goes to a wealthy Lancashire manufacturer.”
“How does Kate—Miss Gerrow —take its”
“As quietly as you ufay guess. Some
| girls would have been almost kflfed b'y file j
disappointment, but not she. Yob had bet
ter go up and see her; she is not an heiress
trow. Indeed, she’ll have barely sufficient
to live upon, unless this cousin dfces some
thing for her.”
Edgar took the advice and went hp to tlio
desolnte great houee the same afternoon.
. Some commonplaces passed, and then that
old, old story burst forth which somehow al
ways seems to me far too sacred to he writ
ten in detail. Edgar made a full confession,
had not in vain.
“The snddest experiences of mjj youth."
he said, “came th'r6 > Sfgh a hiarringe for mfli
ey, luqfl through misplaced confidence. Very
early I vowed that that mistake should in
no shape ever bo mine; that nobody should
ever throw fortune-hunting of that kind in
my teeth. A'hd yet”—with tv smile of in
finite content—“l am not certain, Kate, af
ter all, whether love wo'tild not have beaten
me in the end.”
“1 hope so,” the maiden answered, shyly.
CHAPTER 111.
, There was a sale at Brixby Lodge and in
due course one of tho Lancashire mnnufac
i turer’s sons, who had recently married, came
down anl was installed as his father’s rep
resentative.
Edgar Arnton had arranged that Kate
Gerrow should reside in London with his.
sisters, until such an inVcrVal find passed as
etiquette prescribed. At the sale he was a
large purchaser, aud, poor as, by compari
son, he had once styled himself, the house
he furnished was one of the best in the vil
lage- ,
Wedding nnd boWoy'niooh w'ere both over.
Edgar had just come in from his day’s round
of visits, and wns standing with his wife at
the window gazing Cut kt the fast-falling l
snow-flakes.
Suddenly there was a crash behind that
caUeed both to look round. A Persian kit-'
ten, gamboling mischievously on the top of
an escritoire, had knocked down tho plaster
figure of ah antique'c'uphearer. The fragile
article of vertu was broken into a dozen j
. fragments, amidst which a tiny silver key
revealed itself.
“That is where the key of uncle’s Japa
nese cabinet went to, then,” said Kate; “the
hand and arm of the image must liayc been
hollow, and the kev, once put into the cup,
slipped through into the Interior.”
"Odd, certainly,” answered Edgar; “let
us try if it is the one.”
He went out, nnd from tho neit room
fetched a small, inlaid ‘cabinet of exquisite
workmanship. The key fitted at once.
“I was suie it would. I knew it again at
first sight,” said the lady. “If is fortunate
we waited and did not trouble to force the
box open; that would, inevitably have spoil
ed it. I don’t suppose there is anything in
the casket, thon&h.”
“Oh, but there is!” ejaculated Edgar, as
at that instant he poised up the delicate lid
• and caught sight of a tight liUle roll of pa
r per,
fcatc watched in silent surprise; Edgar
slowly undid the b'lhillo, a shrewd 6uspic
t ion of what he had found flashing upon him,
t and making big ordifiuly filth, white fingers
hot and bunglifig.
j “It is your uncle’s real iVill, hie last and
> legal will, I should say, r'dther,” said Edgar,
i with a gasp, “found just where lie taight
i have been expected to have placed it, and
i where searchers teight equally have expect
t ed to miss it. Quite a wonder I bought the
cabinet!”
> And then he read slowly, till the full mo
-1 ment ol tlie discovery had been realized by
both brains, how laud, and houses, and mon
, ey snugly invested in consols, had all been
3 devised, without reservation or qualification,
r to Mr. Gerrow’s beloved niece, Kate, “the
. companion Bf his old age, and tlie faithful
guardian of his interests.”
t Husband aud wife gave each other a long,
. earnbst look, which ended in a mutual smile
i and a caress.
3 “Despite all precautions you have married
. an lieircss, then, Edgar,” said Kate, merrily!
- “the .pity of it is it’s quite too late in the
I day to disown bet now.”
3 4 ‘As if I cotild possibly wish to!”
Mr. Trent laughed likewise.
r “All’s well that ends well,” he said,
i lie was speedily put in possession of the
recovered document; acquainted Mr. Mud
! bury with the circumstances and conyiuctd
1 the manufacturer how futile it would be to
bbntcst his cousin’s claim. Iu a very brief
, space the Lancashire geritlemau returned in
r disgust to his own district. BtiXby Lodge
t became the residence of the Arntons and
t their children.
t Both husband aud wife tfeffsure the once
8 lost key above its weight in gold. But for
e its opportune disappearance two loving souls
I might have remained apart. To it
B<iys she owes her liusli.inci, <itm hy it Lilg.ir

f (in the spirit), and won a wife with a loi
c tutle.
Gambling Against a Greeny.
‘‘Boys, it isn’t always safe to gamble on
the greenness of country chaps,” remarked
’h'flfupnmrf in the smoking car. “Only last
week I was in a little town down in Missou
ri, and the bar-room of the hotel was full of
the gawks of the town. I worked several
smart little snaps for drinks that would not
have caught a single sucker in the city, and
had begun to think myself in luck. After
a while I heard a couplo qf fellows disputing
about something and I asked them what the
row was about.
“ ‘Jim here,’ says one, ‘declares he kin
go out and pace off a quarter of a mile an'
co ore in two feet of the actual measurement.,
lie’s a braggin’, and kin never do it, stran
ger. I’ye just bet him $5 he can’t; willyou
hold the stiilfcs?” •
“I’d a good deal rather put up $25 against
him,” says I; ‘‘there’s no man living can
pace off bo correctly as that.”
“1 go you the $25,” says the fellow thoy
called Jim, promptly pulling out his money,
and of course I couldn’t back out. So the
SSO was staked with the landlord, and we
went out to see him pace. Wo hup ted
around and found a twelve foot polo, and Jim
went into the middle of the street in front of
the hotel nnd nsked me Which \Vby ho should
go. I’fbld film I didn’t care, and after wo
had marked the spot ho started off pacing
very deliberately uud with much caution',
We followed him up with the pole, measur
ing after him. Pretty soon he stopped,
stood still and waited for us, calling out that
that was Lis quarter mile limit.
In a few minutes we had measured-up to
him, and what do you suppose tho distance
was? 'thirteen hundred and twenty feet to
an ineh—exactly a quarter of a,mile. IhacL
lost as clear ns a whistle, and I thought it
was the most wonderful feat I had ever wit
nessed. Before leaving town, however, I
discovered how the thing was done. Jim was
able to pace that quarter of a mile to an
inch because he had carefully measured i't
off with the same pule wo had used, and
marked the two ends in away known only
to himself. More than that, lie had measur
ed trom a certain spot in front of the hotej
in three directions, and was thus prepared
to go any V.-ivy his victim might select. The
(cllow r who bet the five dollars with him was
a roper-in, and I wasn’t the first men thev
had made a sucker of by a long shot.”—Chi

believe, the last words lie ever wrote.
The words you allude to were written by
Mr. Hill after he had lost the power of

corn will die and then rise again into beauty
and life, why may not I die,find rise again
into infinite life and beauty? Ilow is the
last a greater mystery than tbe first? And
by as much as 1 exceed the gruin of corn id

ldxcitcmeiit in Texas.
Great excitement has been caused In the
vicinity of Paris, Tex., by the remarkable
recovery of Mr. J. E. Corley, who was so
helpless he could not turn in bed, or raise
his head ; everybody said he was dying of
Consumption. A trial bottle of Dr. King’s
New Discovery was sent him. Finding re
