tiny cold hand.
As the doctor turned away, Su
san grasped the child’s arm and
hissed in her ee':
T suppose yon think I am going
to t ake you to that doctor's, don’t
you*
■Why, yes; you said so,' Elsie
stud, a faint m -vv'ng rising in
her heart,
‘Yes, of course yon do. And I
should k’kc to tuow what yon
th’ak I am going to do it your
sight is restored, io have you again
a useless bmden. A r : ce thing
for me, truly. I w"' /tike core to
keep clear of that interfei’ng
man.’
Aud sue kept her word; not once
did she go in the direction where
she had met Dr. Lester.
One day, when Su&rn had been
bprsher to htr than usual the poor
child, sinnr'ing with pa nat the
blows sbe had ri "eived cud tilled
wit' l sudden rebe"ioo, managed,
wife her captor was ta" : ug with
fremK to steel silently from her
side, and m a fewmrnu' was
a'one 'n the streets.
T wish I could find that gentle
man,’she thought, as she groped
along, guidmg herxeß by the
walls. ‘I am su'-e he would help
me.
And it "eemed as 'f her wish
wr ito be granted; as she paused
for a moment at a crossing, a Hud
h«ud was laid on her shoulder,
and a well-know a voice exclaim
ed.
‘What! Is it possible? I : tt*e
Esie;
'Fes, sir; and I am so glad l
have found yon ’ Elsie cried in
delight.
‘So am I. But how is it you
are here alone? Where is your
mother.’
‘I do not know. I ran away
from her,’ Elsie scict ; u a timid
whisper.
‘Ah Andhow was it she did
not briug you to me?’
‘She would not bring me,’ EL
sie faltered.
A stem look settled on the doc
tor’s kind face, and without furtlr
er questioning lie led her away to
his own home.
‘See, Jessie,’ he said to his wife ;
a sweet-faced lady, ‘tic’s is the l: t'
tie girl I spoke to you about- I
have found her, a«d alone in the
streets.’
‘Poor child!’ Mrs- Lester said
pityingly. ‘We must do what we
can for her,’
‘Yes. Ah, Tiny,’ he added, as
a little feirshaired, blue eyed child
came bout ding towards them,
‘set I have brought you a sister
*o loye.’
And Elsie felt a pair of soft
runs prest id closely round her
neck, lender bps kissed her brow,
and a sweet eli' ! d : Kh voice wl 's
pt-red:
‘1 am g’id you have come. I
wi ' love you very much. Pupa
told me about you Icm so sor
ry can’t see.’
Flsle -toon lega’ac 1 her sight,
and saw on o more he golden
snu ght wi ch had been 1 dden
from her so ioDg.
But even then she did nok leave
her kind friends; by Tiny’s espe-.
ci"’ w sh she cont-nued with them,
nor was Mrs. Lester averse to
keeping Dio pretty gentle child
with her.
‘She reminds mo so much of
Bertie,’ she said one day <o her
husband ‘The same large blaek
eyes and sweet t-.pression-’
‘J»ssie, I have noticed the l’ke
nes myse’f. Poor Bert, I often
wonder what beepme of the’’tile
child stolen from him.’
. They were to see Sr .pi W’tlsou
agan, for one day r mgr'sing El
sie ; u the street she followed
them and prom'sed for a good res
wir'd io reveal 1 lie secret of the
child’s parentage.
‘1 stole her for the clothbS she
wore, and a gold cha'i round her
tbre *t- It w«3 tk orgh the effects
of a fever that fine lost her sight.’
‘And do you know who »vpre
her parrents?’ Dr. Last°r -’oquir
ed, ergerly.
‘No but I kept the photographs
that were in the locke’, in case I
should wont them one day; There
they are,’ ond and fiuson handed
the doctor a smn’l piece of paper
in which were enclosed two tiny
photographs, one a man, the otb -r
a lady.
‘ll iew it,’ he murmured, ‘She
is Beit’s little girl. How strange
that after a'l these years I should
find her!'
Anti so Elsie, blind no longer,
was made happy by the knowl
edge that Susan was not ter
mother, that she wa& the daugnter
of her L'nd friend’s only brother*
now dead. So the last cloud slip«

all that she does.

_ Virginia, boih parties stand
pledged to pass a county local op
tion luw, under which so wide,
spread a work has been done in
the Bouih. It lookß now as if the
next five year** will suppress the
legalized, iu New Orleans, and a
few large cities.
In Canada, this movement to
suppress tint strong drink traffic
is equally widespread and success
ful. Fully one-half of the Domin
ion is now freed from the curse.
I places where we would least
look for prohibition, it baa come
with the vote. When the people
of Dakota voted recently upon the
adoption of the constitution, the
vote was iu fayor of complete pro
hibition. L is uot yet a state,
but there is in this vote a healthy
moral tone.
TOUCHING THE TEXAN
He was fresh from the wilds of
the Southern cuntiy, where every
man has a record of dead I know
him when he was a Major; now he
is a miner, wi/h Ins bulle/s in his
tang/ed hair and ox inet craters
all over h : m, A place in his left
ear would be useful to hold a pen
if hiß hand had no t accustomed
itself to a revolver. The pen maj
be mightier than ihe swor 1, but it
it isn’t a patch op the revolver.
He was, I am afraid, not at bis
best when I saw him. His syn
tax was wi'd and his prosody all
a-rye.
‘Yes,’ he said, ‘it is a nice life;
a real nice, pie isant agreeable life.
They are ali Texans there, and if
there is any place where there are
indisputable gentlemen it is in tbe
mountains Texans carry their
hands mosi of ihe time. They
carry other people’s lives in tneir
belts or their boots, or down their
neck. I would like you come
dowD there.’
‘Thank you very much.’
‘Yas; I’d like to introduce to you
an old gentleman there, as genial
an old man as you ever met.’
‘ls he a Texan?’
‘Yea, but he’s so kindly-natured
a fellow. I am sure you’d like
ami. I made his first acquaint
aut e under very pecu'iar c’rcuma
stances. He had just arrived. He
came up to me hnd stid: ‘Your
name's——,l hear.’ ’
‘ies, sir, that s my name.’
‘They tell me you’re awfr'
good.’
iYou don’t teH me!’ sa ; d I.
:Yes, they tell me you’re awful
trood, I think I’JI just take a shot
at you myself.’
And ihe old geutleinan in a g«-
r ; al way. stepped back a litt e pnd
tired. I wasn’t scared. I wa'ked
up to him and I handed him mv
Gatling.
‘Here,’ said I, ‘you iry this. That
gun ot yours can't hit anything.’
It broke him all up, and he’s
been odo of my best friends ever
siuce. Oome down and meet him.

WASHINGTON AIDS.
Wrsb'ngton was a good judge
of men and horses. He never
tiained for the saddle a colt which
should have been sent to the plow
and he never, unless over-ruled
put a man into a place he could
uot fill. Tbe generhls he selected
rarely faded to do their work,while
those men whorne Congress forced
him seldome justified t he selection.
He showed ids usual good
jugeraent in selecting his two aids,
Alexander Hamilton, of New York,
and Richird K- Meade, of Viiginia
The Virgibian was a fearless horse
man, but the New Yorker was a
vigorous writer and strong think
er;
‘Hamilton, ’ said Colonel Meade-
Mid tne head work of Washington’s
ri taff, and I did the riding.’
At the close of the war Washing
ton, while tak-og leave of his aids,
said to Hamilton : ‘You must go
to the bar which you can reach in
six months. Turning to Colons
Meade he said: ‘Friend, Dick'
you must go lo your plantatiyu .
von will make a good farmer and
an honest foreman of the grand
jury.’
‘Both predictions were fulfilled.
Hamilton became a leader of the
New Fork bar, and Meade built
with his own hands, a log.house
of two rooms on his plantation in
the valley of Virginia where he be
oame a famous farmer. Several
years later Meade visited Mount
Vernon, and Washington rode to
meet him. They met on the op
posite sides of a pair of drawbars,
and both dismounted.
‘Friend Dick,’ said Washington
‘as your host, it is my privilege to
take down the bars.’
‘Well, general,’ retorted Meade,
<[ will be your aid still.'
