FOR HISJi UE SINNBD.
Philip Grayson was u young man in
good business, and, until lie made one
serious mistake, had bade fair to be ul
timately successful.
yiis first false stop was being taken
captive by the bright 'eyes of Helen
Clay, his next one was marrying her;
lor lie,on had been reared in a magnif
icent home, aiul, during her infancy,
childhood and girlhood, not a want had
boon left ungratified. Consequently,
after her mnv.lngo ho was selfish with
out. knowing it.
Had Philip been scusiblo enough to
tell Helen the extent of his income be
fore becoming her partner in the pic
turesque and attractive wedding pro
cession which one day drew a goodly
portion of the elite to witness and ad
mire as it swept, up the broad aisle of
the church, their union might have re
sulted differently; for even the giddiest
butterlly of fashion sometimes develops
most wonderful womanliness and good
sense when a chance is given her.
15ut Philip's pride sealed his lips so
effectually that, up to the dale of our
story, Helen had remained in complete
ignorance of his circumstances.
'Hie young couple had just arisen from
the dinner table, when Helen said, as
she held a lighted taper towards her
husband so that he could light liis
cigar:
‘ Oh, Phil, 1 saw just the loveliest
wrap in Arnui i’s! Every bit. of tho lace
on it. is real! It will look lovely with
my brocade dress with Jot trimmings.
1 told the salesman to send it with tho
bill, as 1 hud no money with mo.”
“How much is it, HoJeuP”
“Only lifioun pounds.”
Philip opened His pocket-book, and
assumed a look of surprise. Then,
forcing a sinild, ho turned to his wife
and said:
“My pocket book is in the same state
ns yours, Helen. I forgot to replenish
it when 1 left the store.”
“i do\’t suppose it will make, any
great difference, Philip. The wrap
will bo sent as directed, of course. But
no one is ever worried about our little
bills. It is only poor people that tho
tradesmen hesitate about trusting. By
tho bye, did 1 tell you that madam’s
bill came in yesterday?”
“No, I don’t remember your speak
ing ol ii. Bui 1 iuu.il hurry away,”
Ditid riiiiii), consulting his watch, “for
1 have a business cn^agemonj,.”
“Naughty Philip! not to save even
one evening for your wife!” and Helen
put up he: check for I'hi.ip’a expected
kiss.
But he took her pretty face between
1 1 is liapds, and turned it so that ho
could look straight Into her eves for an
instant, before ho bent and kissed her
on the linn.
“Ilcien, will you always love me?”
he aske ! in a voice that trembled in
apftc of .all his endeavors to make it
steady.
“Of course f will. But. what makes
you r-sk me such a strati/re questionP n
“Just to satisfy my craving heart.
Are you sure that no mutter what the
future bring to u's that you will
still have coniidence in me? You know
strange things ns—are said about peo
ple sometimes.”
“You dear boy, nothing could keep
me from thinking you the host and
manliest of any living man in the wide
world.”
“Thank you, Helen. Now lot me
imagine it is our courting time again,
and let me tell you that I love you now
and shall ever love you with the whole
; strength of my heart. No matter what
1 may happen, remember that your hus
| hand’s fault floes not lie iu indifference
I to his wife. Good by, darling.”
With a bewildered look upon her
fair face, Helen remained for a while
| in motionless si’upriso after Philip had
| gone.
Then shaking off the unusual feeling
1 created by his manner, she went to the
! harp and ran her while lingers over the
strings.
Bat the prelude cr.m.l to an end, and
she relapsed into a re very without tak
ing up the words of the song which
should havo followed.
For the first time in her life a vague
feeling of unrest and disquiet had tak
en possession of her soul.
Ii was late when Philip returned,and
lie then went to the library, and spent
some time writing.
Bui he was evidently ill-pleased at
his efforts in the epistolary line, for he
tore up sheet after sheet and east it in
to the flames, at last contenting him
self with putting an enclosure into an
envelope ami directing it to Helen.
Then, leaving it whore her eyes
would rest upon it when shs entered
the room, he ieft the house without the
slightest expectation of ever agaiii set
ting his foot within it.
For Philip had committed a crime,
and would hereafter have Vo keep in
hiding lest he should lie punished.
He had forged the name of the silent
partner in his lirnl—his mother’s
brother—an eccentric bachelor of great
wealth—and had taken the check bear
ing the well known name to a money
lender, who, having perfect confidence
in Phiiip’s integrity, and believing the
story told him of having accidentally
overdrawn his account, cashed it for
him—at a usurious rate it is true—but
unhesitatingly.
I Jt was this money which Helen found
jin the envelope addressed to her in
! Philip’s liau i writing, lie had not kept
j a penny for himself.
I I was for her that ho had sinned,
j when, finding every avenue of guppegs
I closed, he at lngt made up his mind to
become a wanderer and an outcast up
l on the face of the earth,
Ho must have been half-crazed
’ at the time, r lie would have foreseen
I that in the exposure which must follow
1 Helen Would discovor how he had ob
tallied the money, and in learning ot
his sin learn also to scorn the sinner.
But when the arch-enemy of souls sets
out to catch a weak mortal in his toils,
ho does not hesitate to blind and con
fuse his reasoning faculties as well as
his conscience.
So Philip dreamed not that his pro
vision for his wife would prove futile—
rendered so by her own delicate sense
of honor.
It would be too harrowing to depict
the exhausting grief which reduced
Helen to a pale, shadow of herself after
her husband's apparently causeless de
sertion of her.
The first time in which her rallying
powor returned to her was when a vis
itor was ushered into the drawiug-room
to see her, and she—recognizing the
name—crept down wearily to learn his
business.
Until the present moment she had re
mained in ignorance of Ihiilip’s, cir
cumstances. The large sum of money
ho hud left her precluded the idea of
poverty, even had it presented itself to
her, ami so she was powerless to divine
anv motive for Philip’s desertion.
Mr. Crawford, Philip’s uncle, rose us
she came in. and said gruffly:
“Hope I see you well, ma’am. I’ve
como to say a few words to you whioli
I hope you’ll take in a sensible way—
though a woman with a grain of com
mon sense in her head is out of the
question.
“Eve got a paper hero signed with a
very good imitation of my name, but,
nevertheless, it isn’t mine. It is that
of my scapegrace nephew, who, not
content with leaving you to shirk for
yourself, has also made off’ with my
money. 1 want your help to bring him
to his just punishment.”
Helen’s pallor had given place to a
color rivaling tho red npou the reddest
roso.
“He has not left mo unprovided for,
Mr. Crawford! it is unjust to say so.
He took care to see that l should have
plenty. But what J want is Philip him
self! What matters money without
him to share it with me!”
“liow much did my neplipw leave
with you?”
Helen named the amount.
“That’s just the sum my nephew
robbed me of, ma’am. So it was all
left with you?”
“Robbed you ofP” exclaimed Helen
with n gasp. “RobbedP”
“Yes, ma’am, ‘robbed.’ Didn’t I
say he had signed my mime to this doc
ument?” and the old man held tlio
cheek out so that Helen could she it.
“Oh, my poor Philip! did L- need
moneyP Why, 1 always thought ho
had plenty and to spare.”
“No doubt, ma’am. Rich men’s
daughters can’t be expected to know
much about the difficulties of getting
money. I suppose they think it lies in
the street waiting for someone to come
along end pick it up.”
But Helen was too much absorbed in
her discovery to hoed the satire in the
old man’s speech. She went on ex
citedly:
“If he had told mo that ho hadn’t
plenty of money, do you think I would
have bought this and bought that, and
run bills short, sir,” with a
sudden dignity that contrasted pathet
ically with the distress pictured on her
agitated face. “I am to blame if Philip
fins done this. Punish mo—not him.
What money I have left I will at once
return to you, and I will ask my father
for a cheek for what 1 havo used in my
ignorance of —of Philip’s circum
stances.”
And without giving Mr. Crawford
time to answer her, Helen glided from
the room to return again with the
money.
“Don’t think, sir, that I had any
heart to spend anything since Philip
wont, except to pay the household bills
and the servants. Here is what there
is left.”
Mr. Crawford hemmed and hawed to
( do away with an obtrusive huskßiess
which would interfere with his vocal
organs. Tncn ho said:
“Poor Phil, it is a pity he wasn’t man
enough to make a clean breast of it to
you, for*—excuse the comparison, but it
is a good one—you are a trump. Rich
man h daughter or not, you are not
spoiled. To tell the truth, I came here
to-day as much to see what stuff was
in you as to accuse Phil.
“i am salisiied—fully satisfied with
you, but lam ashamed of myself. 1
ought to have helped Phil, for lie’s my
namesake. But 1 was so all-fired mad
at the hoy for his fiuo-gentleman ways,
that I thought to turn the cold ‘shoul
der to him, and let him suffer for them.
I have boon an old fool, and I consider
myself responsible for the boy’s going
to the bad. But we’ll put our heads
together and try to make it all right.
No one but ourselves has any knowl
edge of that piece (and I’m bound to
say it’s the only one) of Phil’s rascality.
Here goes.”
As Mr. Crawford said this, ho drew
forth a match from his pocket aud
lighod it to set tiro iri turn to the check.
Then he turned to Helen.
“From this time forth, consider mo
your uncle and your obedient servant
Now sit down anil write an advertiso
to Phil. S.iy this:
“ I*. G.—-Undo I*. C. knows all and
forgives all. Conic home. 11. G.”
Helen obeyed. To say tho truth, she
was so much relieved to find that mon
ey troubles had boon the cause of Phil
ip’s strange action that she for the mo
ment almost forgot that lie might fail
to see the advertisement Mr. Crawford
thus dictated to her. Ho Iter heart felt
quite light ns she pencilod off several
copies to give him for insertion iu tho
various papers.
Aud if “nope deferred” has power
to make the heart sick, Helen had
plenty of opportunity to tost it.
Months passed before a trace of Phil
ip was found.
The message came to Mr. Crawford
that a stranger, who had heeu found in
the street in a demented condition,
some months previous, had been brought
to a “Homo” which had been instituted
for such pitiable cases; that his senses
had at last returned, and that he wish
ed to have an interview with him.
The letter ended by saying that the
bodily health of the patient continued
discouraging, and that he probably had
not long to live.
Without communicating the contents
of this letter to Helen, Mr. Crawford at
once set out for the distant city from
which it had been sent.
Ho found that it was indeed his
nephew, but so changed that ho hardly
could havo believed it to havo been
Philip if ho had iu£t him on the street,
Rut >lr, Crawford’s hearty forgive*
ness, and tlio nows that Helen’s affec
tion had caused her to ooudono tlio siu
into which his love for h<*.r had led him,
acted like a lifo*giving elixir upon the
now penitent man, and again ho fell
that the future hold in it a chance of
happiness for him.
tie returned with his uncle, and he
and Helen commenced life anew under
very ditlerent auspices to tiiose which
had characterized tlieir start in married
life.
To-day he is one of our most honored
and respected men, and no young man
to whom he gives this advice, “Never
conceal any truth from your wife,” is
aware of the bitter way in which he
himself learned the lessbu which ho
thus endeavors to teach.
How to Treat. Typhoid Fever.
The treatment of typhoid fever was
discussed at a meeting of the New York
County Medical Association, in tho
hall of the College of Physicians and
Surgeons recently. A paper upon the
subject was read by Dr. George L. Pea
body, who invited criticism and discus
sion from all members of tho associa
tion. The disastrous results of admit
ting to the hospitals patients well along
with the disease was shown to he caused
chiefly by ignorance of tho previous
condition of the cases and the disre
gard paid to ago and general physical
condition. Iu the matter of food ho
advised the physieiaus to give tho ty
phoid fever patient solid food as soon as
possible. A physician in Kentucky
has given solid food from tho beginning
of the sickness and had met with success.
Concerning the reduction of tempera
turo by cold-water sponging, cases
were citod to show that, with careless
sponging once an hour, a patient’s
temperature might remain as high ns
104 degrees. Unless sponging could bo
effectively attended to”, the most satis
factorily way of keeping a patient cool
was tho cold water bath. A free use of al
cohol was advised, although in recent
years the tendency had been to neglect
it altogether. During tho war tho mor
tality among fevor patients in tho
while regiments had been 49 per ceut.
and in tho colored regiments 6G per
cent
Dr. Detmold, by a series of dia
grams and practical illustrations, gave
a simple remedy for weak nnklos,
knock knees, bowed logs, raised shoul
ders and curved spines. Hisnemcdy is:
“Apply a little common sense to the
sole of the boot.” When the inner
ankle-bone protrudes and causes a
weak ankle, remove the weight from
the protruding part. To do this the
sole on the inner sido of the boot must
bo raised a little. By this means the
inner ankle bone would be thrown into
its proper place and made strong. To
cure knock knees raise the inner sides
of the soles of both boots, and to
strengthen bowed legs raise the boot
soles on the outer edges. In case the
left shoulder is higher than the right,
add a thickness of solo leather to the
bottom of the right boot, thus length
ening the leg. Curvature in the spine
in children and young pegpta may bo
cured tho same way.— New York
Times.

“Inmakin’ nppHcashnn fur a charter
it was understood dat do White Swans
would start off wid threo judges, two
elders, Bix colonels, two trustees, to'
purfessors, an’ two co’u doctors. Idis-
Kibored dat outer de sixteen charter
members dar’ was only one tingle pus
son wid a title. He claimed to be a
purfessor, an’ ho am now in jail on
charge of stealin’. Our constitusbim
says dat no foe shall be charged for in
itiating members. Dis brunch lodge
took iu sixty-fonr members at a fee of
$2 per head, an’ do money was used to
play policy an’ buy lottery tickets.
Under pretenso ob bein’ a chartered so
ciety, organized fur do good ob man
kind in ginpraJ, it huaped up a debt of
S9O in three months; it s'.olo twenty
two hams; it got away wid 600 chick

live cents a day wanted a $22 bonnet
or death.
“When I arrove at Green Bay au’
called upon do President of do White
Swans ho almos’ convinced mo dat all
derogatory reports had bin sturted by
jealous-minded white pussons. I hap
pened, however, to fall in wid a buten
or who had lost six horns an’ had sot a
trap in liis smoke-house to cotch strag
glers. I sot up wid him till midnight,
at whicli hour we went out an’ found
de President of do branch lodge in de
trap, wid de Secretary and Treasurer
disappearin’ in do distance.
“Geni’len, we has rushed too fast,
in de fuchcr, when a branch axes dis
club fur a charter, nuffiu’ of de sort
mui’ be granted -until arter a moas’
rigid inwestigashun has bin made.
We mus’ not ue satisfied wid weekly
reports, but soruo member of dis club
mus’ bo sent out on a scout. Our pause
has received a blow iu Green Ray from
which it ruav bo y’ars in recoverin’,
an’ it am all our own fault. Ret us
