As it through the meadows sweeping, In the woodlands mildly weeping, With its music ever beating To an airy, fairy time; Hear its loud aqd steady chiming, Purest language gayly rhyming, Turning, swaying, love%ongs playing, To the angels’ sweetest chime. Listen to its notes of splendor, Listen, hear its music teuder, While it flows amid the cresses, Kissing them with sweet caresses, While their forms it gayly dresses In rich dew-gems fair and tine; To the sea its waters bounding, Richest notes of music sounding, Ever living, always giving Us its melodies divine. Listen to its prattle, prattle, Listen to its merry rattle, Sweeping on and on forever, With the raptures of endeavor.

X. Kellogg Newspaper Co. j CHAPTER Vl.— Continued. Mrs. Stuart was silent. Her husband was violent, and the shrewd woman always allows her husband to quiet down before she attempts to manage him. A person would be a fool to try to handle a red-hot iron, and it would be equally as foolish to try to handle a red-hot man. Mr. Stuart cooled rapidly; perhaps more rapidly than he otherwise would have done if he had had a plan of Ins own. He knew in his sober moments that his wife was shrewder than him self, and he depended upon her shrewd ness to extricate them from this dif ficulty. “What is your plan for managing this?” he finally asked. —• •• ,* ' a : (a. “ WHAT IS YOUR PLAN?” Mrs. Stuart was silent; her needles clicked and she bowed her head over her knitting. “Mainly, are you speechless?” he asked, exhibiting his vexation. “No, 1 can speak yet,” she answered, still knitting away. “What is your plan for managing this affair ?” “Oh, if you are going to manage it yourself, it’s no use to make any sug gestions,” said Mrs. Stuart. “Now don’t he foolish, Mandy; what’s your plan ? ” “I’ve got none of my own. I think the plan suggested by Mrs. Arnold would be about the best.” “What is it ?” “Oh, if you intend to have your own way in the matter go ahead ; it’s no use for any one else to interfere.” Mr. Stuart was silent a few moments. He stretched his feet out Indore him, thrust his hands in his pockets, while his brow was like a lowering thunder cloud. Mrs. Stuart, at last tired of tantaliz ing her husband, said: “Mrs. Arnold is a very good woman, and not only a good, but a shrewd woman. She, be ing a disinterested party in the matter, is capable of giving advice in it lietter than we who have a son’s welfare at stake.” “If I don’t know what her plan is I don’t care about hearing it talked about,” said Mr. Stuart. “She said the best plan would In? to send Warren away; send him to Chi cago on business that would keep him there for several weeks, and while he is gone ‘ship the girl.’ ” Mr. Stuart at once saw the wisdom of this valuable lady's plan. It could be done without arousing the suspicion of either. It might be done even in kindness to both, for now that his evil passion had passed away he felt that the poor girl would not lie much to blame if she married well. Helen, he admitted, had some excellent qualities, and had she been wealthy instead of poor, he could have accepted her as a daughter-in-law. He resolved to wait a day or two, and in the meantime form some excuse for sending his son away. The next day Helen secmial as obedient and humble as ever. She never assumed any other part than that of a servant, yet her eyes could flash with spirit. When Mr. Stuart came suddenly into the kitchen and saw Warren talking to her, us she kneaded the dough, her sleeves rolled above her dimpled elliows, he knew that he must act soon. Helen blushed and looked affrighted at his entrance, while Warren was not a little confused. He said nothing, lint kept a close observance of both. The next day he noticed Warren again talking in an under tone to the girl. Her manner was ever defferential, but she seemed annoyed wil It his at tentions. “Something must he done,” said the farmer. Then he remembered a small farm he hud purchased a few years before in Cook County, 111. He wouUt send his son to liis real-estate agent in the city of Chicago to procure au abstract to the land. Mr. Stuart wrote to his agent tolling him to not hurry about the abstract and detain his sou at least a month in the city. “Why, father! why is it necessary for me to go then*, if you only want au Abstract?" asked the astonished War* ren. when told that he was to take the train the next day for Chicago. “I will send you a power-of-attorney to sell the place.” “1 did not know you wanted to sell the Cook County land.” “Yes. I do,” said the father, lower ing his brow in spite of himself. He knew he was asking twice the value of the land, and that there was but very little prospect of its ever being sold at his figures. Warren, who had noticed his father's lowering glances from day to day, and tin* coolness with which he treated Helen, suspected the real object of the Chicago trip. He was too good a son to disobey his father, but he determined to see Helen before lie left and have the future settled. “Helen,” said he, as he came to where she was sewing, her brother at her side, on the old porch, “I am going away to-morrow.” She looked up at him and, in spite of herself, her great eyes filled with tears. *•1 am going to Chicago to be gone some time. Now, before 1 go, I want to know whether you love me, and are willing to accept me for better or for worse?” “Oh, Mr. Stuart, don’t,” sobbed Helen, while her little brother fixed his great eyes on her. “Don’t talk to me that way. It must he wicked for me to listen to you ; think who I am.” “ I know who you are, Helen, and I love you. Answer me one question : Were our fortunes equal would you accept me?” “1 would—but there is a barrier between us, Mr. Stuart; you must not talk to me that wav,” and she sprang to her feet and ran into tin* house. The next morning, as Warren was getting in the wagon, he noticed Helen milking the cows. He let his valise drop into the wagon, and ran into the cow lot. “Helen,” said lie, in a whisper, “I know why I am sent away, and so do you; but I will come back and make you my wife, if I live.” He clasped her a moment in his arms, pressed a kiss on her ruby lips and was gone. Mr. Stuart, who had watched his son from tin* window, said, as the wagon containing Warren rattled away to the Newton railway station: “That’s the last they will ever sec of each other.” chapter vrr. HF.r.F.N IS “SHIPPED.” All unpleasant duty, when there is a shadow of doubt as to its being a duty, is a most disagreeable task to per form. While Mr. Stuart and his good wife fully believed it to be their duty to follow the suggestions of Mrs. Arnold and “ship tin* hired girl,” there was a twinge of conscience in the thought. Somehow Mrs. Stuart saw so many loveable qualities in Helen that the more she thought of her the more site regretted parting with her. Mrs. Arnold and her ambitious daugh ter, llallie, noticed with some alarm that two or three days had elapsed since Warren’s departure and that the “hired girl had not been shipped.” They began to devise some plan to stimulate the good people to action. Airs. Ar nold was a good General, not only to plan, but also to execute. Dressed out in her Sunday suit and gold spectacles, holding her head high, and skirts above her shoe-tops, she started out to call upon her neighbors. Wherever she went there was a series of stories just slightly touched with scandal and con taining a great deal of mystery in the b;u*k ground to draw inferences from, pointing to poor Helen and the farm er’s absent son. The stereotyped innu endo of “they say,” was used with ex traordinary freedom, as though that earnest, high-looking woman, who worked so faithfully for the good of her neighbors, had a special claim on “they say.” These stories gained as they were repeated, until the farmer was in formed that his son actually designed eloping with Helen on his return from Chicago, and leaving the little cripple for Mr. Stuart to maintain or send to the poor-house. Boor Helen, the innocent cause of all these rumors, was working diligently as a house servant, and almost wholly ignorant of the malicious slanders designed to defame her character. She was considerably depressed in spirits since Warren's sudden declaration of love and his departure for Chicago. “O. why did he say beloved me?” she asked herself. “It will only add to my misfortune; it only increases my humiliation,” and she wrung her hands, while the tears trickled down her cheeks. “Sister Helen,” said little Amos, who sat in a low chair near her, looking in her sad face, “why do you cry ?” “Never mind me, little brother— never mind me. 1 will tell you a pleas ant story when I get my work done.” There was no one in tin* kitchen save herself and her little brother. “I dreamed last night a party dream, sister, oh, so party,” said Amos. “What was it. little brother?” “I dreamed I saw a thousand angels a (lyin’ through the air.” “That was a delightful dream, little brother.” “Oh, it was so nice,” cried the little fellow, clapping his hands at the glo rious remembrances the dream revived. “I hope we will see the angels when we die.” “And there was such nice music, oh, sister! I never heard the like. Great big harps and organs seemed to be playin' all over the sky. Is Heaven that nice?” “Yes, brother, and much nicer than you cguld imagine.” “An’, oh, sister, my hack was straigiit, an’ I could w alk an' run like other Imivs: an’ I could tly, ’cause 1 seemed to have wings.” “You was an angel, little brother,” said Helen, working to crowd down the sail emotions which arose in her heart. *• 1 want to lie an angel, agin, sister,’’ said the little cripple. “Oh, I get so tired sitting here all day, an’ 1 can't w alk ’round much, only wiz my crutches, an’ if I was an angel an’ could fly it would be so nice.” “You will lie an angel some day, lit tle brother, because you are good.” “But it’s so long to wait, an’ I jist git tired sittin’ here an’ waitin’ an’ waitin’,” said the child, whose poor little crippled body prevented his enjoying much of childhood's happi ness. “You must learn to Im* patient, brother,” said his sister, her face red with the exercise of handling pots and kettles. “1 am, sister Helen ; I can be patient, j ’cos you are with me, but oh, if J should )m‘ left w ithout you ; if God should take you home iu Heaven as He did mamma and papa, then w hat would become of me ? ” Helen did not risk an answer for a few moments; then told him that lie must not talk so; God took care of Ilis little children. “But you take care of mo,” said Amos. “It is God, little brother, that "tups me the strength and desire to work for you. It is God that sent us to these good people, where I am able to make a living for both of us.” “But where is Mr. Warren, who used to play with me, and talk to you, sister?" asked the boy. “He lias gone to Chicago.” “Where is that?” “A great way off.” “Will he ever come hack?” “O yes, 1 hope he will,” Helen spoke unconsciously the true desire of her heart. Since the depart ire of Warren her burden seemed doubly great, and the scowl upon the face of Mr. Stuart grew darker every day. She came to fear him, and little Amos, who used to prattle fearlessly to the farmer, was now awed into silence by his dark pres ence. Helen had just finished sweep ing the house and was congratulating herself on a few moments’ rest this warm afternoon, when the door opened and Mrs. Stuart entered the kitchen. She had some money in her hand, and there was a look of unusual gravity on her face. “Here, Helen, is three dollars,” said she. placing the money in tin* girl's hand. “There is not quite that much coming to y ou, but take it, you will need it.” Helen turned her face, white now, but beautiful still, to Mrs. Stuart, and asked by an appealing glance : “What do you mean ?” Mrs. Stuart evidently understood her unasked question, and said : “We tio not want a hired girl any longer, Helen.” “Then you do not want my services further?” Helen gasped, in dismay. “No, you had better hunt you another place. 1 think you'd better go to New ton and take the train for St. Louis.” “ But you have given me more money than was coming to me. You only owe me two dollars and fifty cents.” “I know it, Helen; but it will help you along some to get another place. It will pay' your fare on the train,” “Helen took a half-dollar piece and placed it on the table by the side of Mrs. Stuart, saying: “Mrs. Stuart, 1 can only take what justly belongs to me; I want no more, and, with God’s help, my little brother and 1 will succeed some way in driving the ‘wolf from the door.’ ” “But, sister, we ain't got no door, and 1 must stay out among the wolves,” interrupted little Amos, in a manner so pathetic that the tears arose in Mrs. Stuart’s eyes, and it was otdy by the greatest effort and strong re membrance of duty that she was re strained from following her natural impulse to clasp the dear girl in her arms and tell her she should stay. Helen was busy gathering up the few articles of clothing belonging to herself and brother, and putting them in an old carpet bag. “You are not going away at once, are you?” asked Mrs. Stuart, in aston ishment. “Yes, ma'am,” said Helen, striving to repress her tears, for she felt this discharge was on Warren’s account. “Do not go till morning, child, a rain is coming up.” “No, Mrs. Stuart, avo will go on as far as we can to-night and be that far, on our load in the morning.” “I'll have you sent in the wagon.” “No. thank you, the teams are busy.” Little Amos put on his little jacket and hat, and then, with his crutches under his little arms, stood ready to ac company' his sister. It Avas sloav progress, indeed, they AA'ould make, and Mrs. Stuart kncAV it Avon Id be hard for Helen to “lind a place” for herself and the crippled brother. That good lady Avatehod the hired girl as she and tin* boy passed out of the gate into the lane, and then went into her bod-room to cry for having done her duty in obeying Mrs. Arnold and “shipped that girl.” Little Amos hopped along on Ids crutches Avithout any complaint, for lie had learned to bear misfortunes Avith out a lruumur. Great dark clouds were rising in the Avestern sky, and there Avas every indication of one of those thunder-storms common to the summer season. Helen did not go in the direction of Newton. Why should she, Avho kncAV nothing of cities and towns, seek a home there, exposed to their vices ? The country had been her home and she would seek none other. She turned eastAvard, Avitli her little brother feebly hopping along at her side. She turned down the lane. As they Avere passing the pasture gate it opened, and Rose Stuart, her cheeks Avet Avitli tears, sprang out and threw her arms about iii'Nt. * * THEY STARTED DOWN THE ItOAD. “Oh! Helen, dear, good girl, do not think I am to blame for this,” she sobbed. “I do not blame you, Rose,” said Helen, her own tears falling fast. “Forgive father and mother, they have been talked to bv the vilest slan derers.” “I can forgive all as I hope to be for given,” turning her large blue eyes toAvard Heaven, as if she sought Divine approval. “Now site just looks like the angels 1 dreamed about,” said little Amos, who occupied his time, alternately, in watching the almost angelic expression on his sister’s face and those threaten ing clouds from which thunder occa sionally growled. “Oh, Helen, avc are going to have a storm,” said Rose, “Avon’t you come back and stay until it is over?” “No! no! Rose, thank you, aa'c must go on, avc Avill reach some shelter X hope before the rain begins to fall.” “But oh, I Avish you would let me help you. Here is five dollars my father gave me to buy anew summer hat; Avill you not take it?” “Oh, no! no! Rose, I could not,” said Helen, drawing herself away, “1 daro not accept charity Avhile 1 am strong and able to earn a livelihood for myself and brother. Farewell, Rose, avc Avill always remember you in love.” [to be continued.] Dr. Thayer, of NeAvcastle, Pa., says there are 28,000 divorces granted an nually in this country.
