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.

A farmer looking man entered a
^oal .dealer’s office yesterday with a
jrackngo under his arm, and after
looking about to assure himself that
the pair were alone lie removed the
wrapper and displayed a lump of an¬
thracite coal weighing about a pound.
• “Well?” queried the dealer.
, “Y live out here on the Lake Shore
.load.”
j “Yes.”
“Found this on my land.”
“Yes.”
“It’s coal, isn’t it?”
“For sure.”
“Hard coal?”
“Yes.”" * ~
“If such pieces as this out-crop on
the land my farm ought to be worth
something, eh?”
“Fifty debars an acre, perhaps.”
“But there’s a coal mine.”
“Coal mine be hanged! 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.
