“Well, my boy, I’ll try and tell you
all about it from the beginning.
Help yours'If to a cigar first aud
pass the box to me. I knew you
would want to hear the particulars
mil I—I have been trying to put
iff tlie evil moment. I’in getting
an old man now, Harry, and all
this shook me a good deal at the
time.”
“Come here, Tot, and sit on my
knee, 'there, that’s better. Seem
odd, Harry, don’t it, to see aa old
bachelor like me nursing a tiDy bit
of a girl like Tot? Four years old
to-day, aru’t you, Tot? How lime
flies!
“You see, my dear lad, you ought
to have told her before you went
away. She never guessed that you
thought ot her in that way. It might
have saved her—who knows?
‘•It must be nine years since your
Uncle Will died and left Violet ii
my care. She was only fifteen then.
Don’t you think Tut is very mod
likelier? The same large brown
eyes amt long lashes, the same lov
ing little ways.
"eihe came to me one morning
some months after you had left for
China, with u letter in her Jiand.
“ ‘Look here, uncle,” said she
kneeling beside me, and holding
the note where I could read; “its a
note from tile Golds, an 1 they in
vite me to go aud stay with them at
Veittor. .May I accept?”
‘•‘Do you want to go,” Violet?’1
asked.
“ ‘Of course I do,’ she said, laugh
ing. ‘Wo are so quiet here at home,
and this would he such a delightful
change. Please let me go, uncle, I
will write you long letters, and tell
you all about everything.’
“I didn’t want to part with her

years sh ? had been with me then
had hi uio my life quite a different
milter; hut it seemed selfish to
keep tn° bright, merry girl always
shut up with a crusty old man. I
gave her leave to go, and then,
when after a fortnight she wrote,
begging to be allowed to stay long
er, as her friends wished, I had
not the heart to refuse. She was
there five weeks and then she came
home.
“The very day alter her return

drel whom in those few weeks she
had learned to regard as a hero,

she h 11 a little fortune of her own I

tol l me that he wanted my permis

“He was a good-looking young
fellow, and had a fra"k, open man

and determined to prevent the mat

a strong and apparently unreasona

enquiries, hoping to find out some
thing that would justify me in for
bidding him.the house, hut entirely
in vain. But I studied him; observ

at last I was convinced that I knew
him through and through, and that
he was no tit husband for my little
Violet.
“Bv.thistime.it had become £
kind of tacit- engagement, and I
knew I should seem almost brutal
for interfering, hut I couldn’t bear
the idea rtf giving Violet into his
care. I vowed to myself that noth
ing on earth would induce me to do
so, aud I told him to discontinue his
visits.
“The result of that was that he
came to a definite understanding
with Violet and she promised to
marry him,with or without my con-

“ ‘It is not like you to be so unjust,

and she slipped from her chair and
kneeled here on the rug at my feet,
‘pray—pray be yonr old self agaio.
You were never angry with me be
fore, and it seems so strange and
unnatural to see you turn your head
away without a s nile. Do you love
me only if I have no voice, no will
of my own ?’
“ ‘Listen to me, child,” I said,
looking her in the face; I have striv
en to be a father to you since I
brought you here; I have loved you,
heaven only knows how dearly! In
return I only ask you to let me pre
vent your making a complete
wreck of your life. I want to save
you from a sad fate, and you think
me a tyrant.’
“She took ray hand in both hers
and pressed her face on it, then
looked up with a smile.
“ ‘1 wish Harry were here,’ she
said. ‘He always took my side.’
“1 ought not to have told you
that, my dear boy, hut it was so
fre*h in my mind, as it struck tnei
forcibly at the time, knowing as T
hd that you !<>v< d her. Forgiv
me my want of tact.
“She was not given to shedding
tears like some women, or she
would have cried then. Her cheeks
were hot and burning as they
touched my hand, while her eyes
were feverishly bright. She used
every argument she could find to
induce me to consent to her engage
ment, and as I remained silent, she
Irew nearer and gazed uo sorrow-
ully and eagerly in my face.
“‘You relent, uncle?’ she whis
pered, 'it an agitated way. ‘You
will let me be happy?’
“‘In that way, nevar.’ I told her,
sadly and sternly, and I tried to
draw nway my fingers, but she
clung to them tightly, while her lips
quivered.
“ ‘Don't say that, uncle!’ she cried
hoarsely. ‘Dear uncle, oh, what can
r say—what can I say to move
you ?’
“You think I was very hard, Har
ry, I see, but I thought it best.
“‘Hush, child,’I said. ‘Nothing
will influence me. I am resolved.’
And so am I,’ she said sorrow
fully, dropping my hand and ris
ing to her feet. ‘I should always
have wished to please you; but now
that you are harsh anil unjust and
will not listen to reason what can I
do?”
“She waited for me to speak; but
I had no words at hand. I was too
hurt and angry. She went toward
the door, then came back a >.d stood
behind me, resting her hands lightly
on my shoulders.
« ‘Try and forgive me, uncle.
I love him so—I love his faults that
make you despise him and his vir
tues that you do not know. Won’t
you kiss me, uncle?”
I was half inclined to take her
in my arms and tell her she should
do what she would; but I did not.
After a few minutes of dead silence
I heard her catch her breath in a
half-sob and then the door closed
upon her and I was alone.
‘The next day she did not conn-
down before I w*ent to the city, and
when I came home she was gone.
I have forgivejt iier now, Harry;
but it was a cruel blow. After all
ray love and care I uni not think
that she could have left me like
that!
Why, Trot, you look quite fright
ened! I’m not cross, my pet.”
Yes, yes, my boy, I’m going on;
but you are so impatient. Well some
time after—a year or two years
perhaps, I cant remember exactly
—I was coming home at dusk—in
the Strand, I think it was, I met a
woman in a shabby black dress,
with a child on her arm; our eyes
met, and then somehow or other
we were the centre of a crowd, and
I was raising Violet’s head from the
hard pavement. She had fainted
on seeing me, and I had just con
trived to save her aud the little one
Iroin a severe fall.
“I brought her home in a cab, and
my houskeeper helped her into bed.
Harrv, she was next door to starva
tion when that accidental meeting
gave her back to me—for only three
days. I was too late to save her.
“‘You have forgiven me?’ she
asked that evening, as T sat by her
bed.”
“‘I forgave you, my child, long
since; but not him who brought
vou to this.Where Is he now ?”
“‘Dead’ said" the poor girl in a
faint whisper. ‘Don’t speak ill of
him, I can’t bear It.’
“I asked her why she had not let
me know she was in distress—why
she had not come home.
“ ‘I was ashamed to come, she
said ‘I knew you would not turn
from me; but I was too much as
hamed.’
“The next day bot one the doc-
tor told me what to expect. I prom
ised the poor child that Tot should
take her place with me. I held
the little one fr.T k “r to kiss and
bad it token away; aud then—
“Tot, my darlin&jup up stairs to
nurse for awhile; HI «*ll yon dostm
again by-and-by.
“These incessant fogs have a very
had effect on my throat. I can’t
talk for a length of time without
getting just like I did jus’, now, so
that I can’t croak out a word.
“There isn’t much more to tell,
fortunately, for I ant getting as
hoarse as a raven. I was out, with
Tot at my side, one day last au
tumn, when I came upon some one
I had thought gone to join the ma
jority. He was walking with a
pretty, stylish-looking girl, chatting
and laughing, but when he saw me
his smile died upon his lips and the
blood flew to his face. His gaze
dwelt for an instant on the child
whose hand I held. He knew those
brown eyes and long lashes and he
saw the black frock.
“There, that is all. Harry, I read
your thoughts. You must not!
Leave him to heaven. Promise me,
boy—for her sake—for the child’s
sake. You promise? Your hand

lad.”

Most ofourGovertiiiientyards have
implements far behind the age. The
committee found that the present
armament in forts and arsenals
numbers 2,094 pieces of all calibres.
They require thirty-three kinds of
ammunition. They are totally in
adequate to the defense of our most
important harbors. . They may
be used for the protection of har
bors admitting only vessels of light
armor and draught, and evon there
they should be usually supple
mented by the modern breech load
ing steel rifle, with its more rapid
and efficient fire.
With regard to ship-huiiditig the
eommittee says:
The evidence submitted shows
that iron and steel ships of war can
be builtin the United States. Build
ers of extensive and successful ex
perience stand ready to contract
to build ae fast as the Government
is likely to order. It must be un

armor and shafting, which cannot

The best localities for the gun
factories are the Washington Navy-
Yard and the Waverliet Arsenal.
The former has already a plant
that has been employed in the fin
ishing work upon twenty-one mod
ern steel guns of calibres ranging
from 5 to 10^ inches, most of which
are finistied. The site is naturally
secure from an attack by a foreign
fleet.

the horrors of the past few weeks.
A letter to the Springfield Republi
can gives these details:
In all the towns along the Atchi

the school houses and all public
buildings are crammed to the' ut

been unable to roach the towns.
The people of the towns are all
charitably disposed toward the suf

relieve them,but the great necessity
has been for fuel, And that we can
not get on account of the snow
blockade on the railroad. The fall
of the snow has been the heaviest
ever known in this country, in some
places four feet on the level. The
railroad company has done nobly
as far as lay in its [>ower. As sooo
as it couid get the road open anoth

again, yet it has worked with an
untiring zeal, and the people along
the road had been given railroad
coal as long as it lasted.
As to the stock interest of Wes

wind it out. Ten days age more
than one-half the stock were frozen
