Chapter 3 . ‘Tev, why did we never think of the boats before?” 1 said. “One has been out an hour,” re¬ plied Tev, watching Nora with drawn brows, ’‘but I have had it in another. Why should she row in that direc¬ tion, unless she herself has taught Willie to take the very way he is forbidden to go.” And then he broke in bis bitter speech, and sense¬ lessly began to blame Nora forgoing alone. “I cannot stay in the house any longer, sir,” said the oi l butler, who met us asjpve turned again towards the house. “Has no one returned with ti¬ dings?’, questioned Tev, sharply in his fear. “No sir; though all have been back to the house except Corrigan. He has not been seen since he first start¬ ed. Miss Nora came in once, but it was only to see if any of your fish¬ ing-rods were missing.” “And were they all there?” asked Tev, his firm lips drawn and white. “One is away, sir, w»> find; the lit¬ tle one you lend Mr. Willie when you take him to fish; and” added the old man, his voice shaking as he met his master’s eager eyes, “it was there this morning.” » “Come, down to the boat-house, Tev” I said, as calmly as 1 could; clinging to him, though, in my new fear. Just as we reached the lake shore, advancing slowly on the waters, v e saw the little boat which we had watched some time before; but Nora was not rowing now; she sat in the stern, holding in her arms a little fig¬ ure wrapped in a boat rug. Corri¬ gan himself rowing. I shall never forget the agony I read on Tev’s fa' e as the boat came leisurely in. I shall never forget how hard it was to keep him still beside me on the pebbly shore. 1 shall never forget, too, the shadow of disappointment which fell over Nora’s face when she saw him. The boat drew up, and Tev had Ins arms outstretched though he did not even seem to see Nora. Very ten¬ derly *nd gently she laid her burden in them, and then, Tev, bonding his trubled face .upon the child’s cold and motionless.one, carried him in. “Go quLkly, Aunt Bona, you will be neened,” cried Nora, clasping her hot, tired hands; “I think his life is given back. Oh, how merciful God is to the little ones!” I left the girl standing there, tirea and wet: her big, eyes filled with unutterable gratitude; but through those next few hours of keen anxiety and doubt she did not come near us, while her sister moved softly ubout the room were child lay, now kissing him, now weeking over him, and tending him gently. By the early morning all our fears were over, The physician left him, prescribing only warmth and quiet; and we felt that our little one was spared to us. Several days had passed, and Willie was among us once more. There were no vigilance required now to prevent the restless little feet from wandering into danger. hardly required the constant loving care with which lie was surrounded. Reby was sitting upon the grass be- side the little carriage in which he had been wheeled out upon the ter- race. Tev was standing over them, stringing a little bow for the child. I was on my old scat near them, chatting to them all and waiting for Nora, who was going to take me to see that miserable little dwelling she had discovered on .the bog. Mrs. EUiott was napping in the house. “Nora is keeping you rather long, Aunt Bona. 1 hope you are not tired,” said Reby, gently raising her blue eyes to me. “Tev,” called Willie, pleadingly, me down to the lake.”' “No, dear,” replied Tev, with a shudder, which 1 now always re¬ marked when the child mentioned the water, “not today.” “Heby, carry me,” the child then urged. “Oh, no, Willie dear,” she an¬ swered, gently, “J cannot do so.” “Nora will,” he added* confidently, as Nora came up to us in hH walk¬ ing dress. “Nora, carry me down to the shore.” “Certainly,” she said, raising the little wasted ligurq tenderly, and holding him in her arms; “will you wait a few more minutes, auntie? and, Itchy, will you run in to mam¬ ma? She is calling you, and I knew 1 should not be a sufficient substi¬ tute.” “Nora, please to leave Willie with us,” began Tev, almost sternly, as lteby left us, and Nora prepared to descend the steps; “I wish to keep him from the water, not to lead him to it.” “But I will not fish, Tev, entreat¬ ed the child; “I won’t, indeed.” Somehow I felt greatly relieved to hear him say even those few words connected with that wretched past day. 1 wanted the subject spoken of; it had been so carefully avoided by every one since. I should myself always speak, even of sad tilings like those; bringing them out of the clouds of mystery ami secrecy, I ;hink, takes a good deal of the gloom away; but then, I dare.say, that is an old-fashioned notion. “Put him down, please, Nora,” said Tev, more gently. “You shall go with me to fish, dear, whenever you like, but not alone. i have locked up all my fishing-rods, too.” “And cannot Reby get them?”, asked Willie. “If lieby wants one, she shall have it at any tiino,” answered Tev, promptly. “But cannot she get one for me?” inquired Willie, raising himself a lit¬ tle in Nora’s arms, “like she did be¬ fore?” I shall never forget the strange, short, sudden silence which fell among us, and yet it could not have lasted half a dozen seconds. “And it was you who broke your word, Tev,” continued the child, wondcringly, “not me. lieby said you were going to fish, too, in the little bay beyond the park; and so I worn, and you never came, Tev.” “Willie,” said Trevor, his face full of a dark, stern wrath, “who told you that?” “Ivehy told .me, Tev.” “And who,” said Tev, in a voice of intense suppressed passion, “gave you the fishing rod out of my room?” “lieby. Didn’t you know, Tev?” “And where was 1? Where were we all?” continued Trevor, his strong, nervous fingers tight upon the back of the seat. “I don’t know,” answered the child, gazing at him curiously; “no¬ body was about but me and lieby, and I fished a good while, Tev.” “Nora,” said Tev, raising 1 iib stern, white face to hers, “for Heaven’s sake tell me more. Is any part of what I have heard true?” “Corrigan found Willie, as you kuow> Trevor,” said Nora, with a new gentleness in her voice as she rt>ac j } 11S p a ; n ; “Corrigan rescued him, as you know, after he fell, but could not c ]; m b the ascent from the little bay w ; tll Millie in his. arms, so lie sa j there, nursing him and shouting for help; and when I rowed around t here, of course I heard him, and took the boat in. Corrigan himself to u you ] )0W the fall must have hap- pened.” “Yes,” replied Tev, shortly; and then he turned away with a look al- most like death upon his face, and we saw him no more all that day.

Some brakeman threw that chunk of coal at your horse or cow. Dang ’em, they waste three tons for me that very way along the road every year.” The farmer man left the lump on the desk and went out without a work or a look.—Detroit, Free Press. A stranger was standing in front of a hotel in Indiana when a man strode up to him and said: “Come, now, you’ve got to apolo¬ gize or there’ll be trouble right here.” “Apologize for what? I haven’t done anything and I haven’t said a word.” “That’s not the point. You must apologize,” “What for?” “Your looks. I never saw a man that looks like von that wasn’t a liar, and you’ve got to take back your looks or there’ll be a light right here.” ‘tWell, rather than have any trouble I will apologize ror my looks.” “ You take ’em back[then, do you?” “Yes.” “All right. .Say,” he suddenly added; “you also acknowledge that you are a liar.” “Yes; I will acknowledge that, too.” “And also declare that you are a thief.” “Yes, that goes, too.” “And you affirm that you are in favor of the McKinley bill?” Tho stranger, without replying, “hauled off” and knocked the fellow down.—[Arkansaw Traveler. The Old ‘Homestead, published Savannah, Ga., will he issued here¬ after by a syndicate of advancing its interests even more successfully than its projectors were. It is a southern literary and musical publication con¬ scientiously striving to foster, and encourage southern talent and to give to the people a magazine that is essentially, one for the home tor the superiority of its literary, fashion, domestic, and musical character. Its staff of contributors is among the best in the south, and m every es¬ sential it is a magazine that the peo¬ ple of the south ought to encourage and support. The subscription price is but $1.00 a year, while many pul - hoations of less merit cost 83.50 and 84.00 per annum. Address The Old Homestead IhiTiiishing Co., Savan¬ nah, Ga.
