tell you about him 3"
• "If it will not be too painful,
eir,". said the young fellow, moved
to sympathy by something iu his
companion's tone.
"Well, first read a part of a letter
'I received some time ago," said the
older man, taking • out a huge
pocketbook, in which there were
many papers, front which he extrac-
ted tho letter, and folded this pas-
sage down,
The young fellow took it, and
_read,_witlea.strong_sensatian __of _in-
truding upon private grief :—
Ah, -mydear fellow, I have
time ehildren and a wife whose
childlike and innocent life should
have led me to better things. Many
a care and mauy a sorrow she has
had since,she has married mo, and.
_many a time, God knows. I've
been deeply penitent to have given
her cause for grief.
"But I have the restless blood of
a drunkard in my veins, and it
carries are away to dreadful and
disgraceful sprees. I promise—I
swear off, I protest by all that's
good and holy that liquor shall
never pass 'my lips again, but all
to no purpose., A *craving—a devil
—takes possession, and after weeks,
or even months of abstention I
break but and degrade myself and
shame my children, and heap misery
on them and my wife. - •
•"Tho old year is closing as I
write 'and the now comes up before
mo like an enemy—So much do I
feel my weakness. • That God may
close my old life and open up a
now and better ouo to me is the cry
of my heart to night. For if I do
not find strength, that the past
gives me no hope of gaining, before
the leaves of next summer wither I
shall fill a drunkard's grave and
leave my wife and little ones to the
mercy of the world.
" Surely the man who wrote that
never drank again," said the young
traveller, handing 'back the page.
" I will toll you. That letter was
written by my own brother.. I had
not seen him for several years. Ile
was a lawyer, practising in a place
far from me or any of our family.
We all had thought of him as a
prosperous and happy man. His
merrier/et sot at rest some fears ex-
cited by his earlier life.—You can
understand that that letter was a
dreadful shock to mo.—His refer-
ence to the drunkard's blood in his
veins had a significance for me that
you cannot understand, for on ono
side of parentage I come of a family
that has suffered beyond telling by
the drinking, habit. Clever men in
it; witty, great-hearted fellows,
much -loved, popular, eloquent.
One was a Supreme Court Judge ;
two were among the foremost
orators of their native State. Their

" What's the use of telling me
about niy uncles, Fred 1" he would
say. "They craved liquor. I
never touch it, except for sake of a
little jollity. I can take it, or leave
it as I please."
" But I'll not weary you by de-
tails of his youthful eseapadee. As
I said, we believed hint to have
turned over a new leaf, after his
marriage in a distant State. Ile
brought his wife home to us for a'
few weeks,—a lovely golden-Itaired
creature, Well ! well 1 there's no
use telling about that.
" He had finally sworn off then,
ho said, and they Were very happy.
Aftersthat I knee( nothing more of
hire than that he reported, inoc
casional lettere, the growth of his
family and his prosperity.
"The sad letter which you have
read •eatne after a wide gap in our
correspondence. I instantly .deter-
mined to make time for a long visit
to him, and wrote him to that effect.
He responded joyfully, and in early,
summer I merle the journey.
" OW arriving at the village I was
surprised that he did not meet me.
Inquiring where Randal's office
was, the stationmaster told rue that
he would not ;probably be at his
office that day ; " he was a little
out of sorts," the man had heard. "I
would find him at home ; it wasn't
far," and the railroad man gave me
directious.
"Following them I Walked on
through a pretty little town of com-
fortable brick houses, „and shady,
sandy streets — a most peaceful
place. Reaching its outskirts as
directed, I soon faced a handsome
house, with an extensive lawn in
front, well kept, with flower beds
and many evidences of care.
I had associated my brother's con-
fession with the drunkenness seen.
in Inv own town, and conceived of
him -as being miserably poor ; hence
I was a good deal' relieved by the
appearance of prosperity about his
residence:
" Hooli 1" I said to iny.self, going
up the gravel path,-" he has exag-
gerated his vice. No doubt he has
taken, too much about Christmas
time, and was suffering from a bad
headache in consequence."
"As I approached, it struck mo
as rather straLge that no one was to
be seen about the house. I obser-,
ve,d that the garden ran far back to
a coslat__..wood or svetunp, and from.
this wood I thought I heard faint
shouts.
"I ascended the verandah stops.
Not a face appeared at the windows.
As I rang the bell, I heard a child
crying within.. With the faint
jangle that came to me, the cry
ceased. I stood expectant. The
child again began its wail, but no
ono came. I rang again and again.
With each sound of the bell the
child's voice ceased, to rise again: as
the tinkle died away. Much puz-
zled,I Went around to the rear wing.
"Tho kitchen -door stood wide
open, a bright firo wa, in the stove,
therewere dishes an, washed and
food in course of pinration, bit
no servants. Enterh looked
into three comfortable I 00111, find-
ing no person. In ti . Fourth, a
large sitting -room, a vi 1y little girl
sat in the middle of tlitloor, sur-
rounded by toys. I knew at once
that she must bo little Flora, my
brOther's youngest -his pet being
the youngest girl—a baby of some-
thing more than two years.
"I's papa's little girl," she
answered, very distinctly. " Papa 1
papa 1" and she began to cry again.
" Unwillingly though she was, I
took her id my arms aud soon mane.
ge(1to soothe hor by the ticking of
my watch. Then I carried her
through every room of the house
without finding another soul.
" Trying in vain to account for
the desertion, I returned down-
stairs and to the kitchen. As I
reached it, two small boys came in
—little Randal and Fred. I know
them front photographs.
"They started at me with alarm.
Both had been crying, I could see.
When I told them I was Unclo
Fred they came to Inc shyly.
" And where are papa and
manuna 1" I asked.
" The little fellows hung their
heads. "Papa is sick," said Ran-
dal, the older, hesitatingly.
" But where is he 1"
" Ha got up and,ran out," said
tho poor little man, raising a chubby
hand to his eyes.
" And where are mamma and all
the rest'!"
"Momma didn't know papa had
gone until he was near into the
woods," ho said, pointing to the
•• .
and Jane and Thoinas, and we ran
after them, and they tient us home
to take care of the baby. They
can't find papa, and he's lost," so
my little nephew exclaimed through
his sobs.
"Scarcely had he done speaking
when a man appeared at the edge of
the wood, and soou afterward a
group following him, Then he
etopped, turned, and shook hie. Ifet..
at thew.
" Go'way ! Lemma alone! Don't
come near are 1" and I recognized
my brother's voice.
" Those who followed seemed
either to fear or to humor him, for
they kept their distance. On he
came, tumbling over the fence into
the garden. Thou ho picked him-
self up, reeled, steadied himself,
lurched forward again, aud some-
times ruuuing, but always keeping
his feet, approached me.
"The boys, eryiug and shudder-
ing, stood clutching me till he was
two-thirds of the way up the
garden."
"Come, Freddy," said little
Randal -with a sudden recollettion,
" we mustn't see papa when he's
sick," and led the other in.
" It was the most piteous child'
voice—the must pathetic thing—
those two little lads, fond and
ashamed of their own father 1
" He came on, not noticing me
till within a few paces. He was
unshod aud only half-clad, just as
hu had run out in semi -delirium,
and had been staggering through
mud and water.
" At last he stopped, looking in
evident recognition, trying to con-
trol his swaying ; then as if uncon-
scious of any shame, came toward
Inc.
" It's you, Fred. Wheu'd you
comet 'Why didn't . you Lamm",
know, Fred 1" ,
•
igtimHis he closed like a vi Se an
ho) ; his eide
, trorigthandite•
was a very ergs, powerful nian---
eoetned to fly to his''' fingers; but
his fingers trembled as ho grasped
mine,
't I could trot speak. He looked
stupidly into my face, with half -
open, bloodshot eyes, for a few
moments ; then, ignoring Inc as
completely as if I had been always
there, reached out his' arms for
Florry.
"Come to papa—thass papa's (leer
lill girl." At his husky, affection-'
ate distressing voice 1 straiuod the
child closer, but she held out her
mina to him, and staggering for-
ward, he grasped her. •
• "Kissingr, aud fondling little
Florence, te entered the kitchen
ond cautiously ascended the stops
leading to the hall. I kept ray
hand on tie arm, and of this sup. -
port he kept wholly unconscious.
It • was plain his debauch had been
a long ono, for.his hair was neglect-
ed, his beard of a week's growth.
" My brother fell into a chair,
still . fondling his little daughter,
and looked dumbly around.. I
seemed no more to him than any
senseless object in -the room. To me,
this sodden silent man was as one I
had never ltnown, so changed„. was,
Ilia from -the blight,-alert--fallitof
which yours has reminded. me.”.
The young traveller shifted un-
easily and the tale again went �u.
" Soon I heard . voices, and loft
the•room to meet my brother's wife.
Poor Lucy 1. r was ashamed to
meet her, ashamed. to know that I
had seen ' him ; I wished tliat I
could have escaped unobserved.
Little did I know how far past the
pangs of vain efforts to conceal her
husband's vice the poor girl had
got ! '
• She came silently to me uusur-
prised--not tole) surprised by any-
thing in life. Her fair hair, that I
rememared as seeing blownabout
her flower-like face, was smooth
and lank on each side of her .fore-
head. She was very pale, and oh
how old she looked ! Her *eyes—
they gave tragecy to black eyed
women—Lcould not have believed
that such settled misery could ever
look forth from eyes of blue.
" She did not weep, she did not
speak. Holding niy hand she only
looked at me with those hopeless
eyes. .,
" Seeing us, the servant who had
entered went back and closed the
door. Thou the little boys stole
softly down, hand iu bend, avert-
ing their looks of shame from the
rjom whore their father sat, and
standing by their mother, covered
their faces in her skirts, '
" Not a word was uttered in the
group, and the hall clock ticked
and ticked its strokes of doom.
"Wo couldhoar the 'unconscious
baby crowing, and my brother's
affectionate mumbling. to it.
" Papa's 1111 girl—papa's dear 1111
girl."
" Sir, I don't think I can toll you
the rest," said the narrator, dashing
his hand across his cycs. The
young traveller sat silently with
downcast eyes.
" Well, we stood for some time,
listening. Then my brother said,
coaxingly. "Papa '11 leave lill girl
down, 'n go'n see lill girl's 'Uncle
Fred." At tho same time he rose and
wo entered.
"Let mo take the baby, Randal,"
said Lucy very gently. .
" Go away, Lucy dear 1 Mustn't

with drunken, not unkindly
gravity.

Lucy ; she'too heavy—must take
care not to hurt youreelf, Lucy."
The survival of hie itifectious
through hie degredation was, *tune -
how, more heart breaking than
violence from him.
I did not thiuk he could aet the
child down, but refusing to be (unda-
ted in the least, he stooped very
carefully though swaying a little,
and placed her again among her
playthings au the floor. For a few
moments he stood leaning, smiling
down on her -drunkenly, fumbling
his fingers without sound in attempt
bag to snap them for her amuse-
ment. The child looked up into
his face and held out her arms.
" Baby want to kiss papa," he
said in a degraded tone and stooped
lower. And then, before either of
us could reach him, he fell forward,
full leugth, his full weight crushiug
little Florry down.
She' cried out and seemed to
smother. 'rhe next instant he had
.rolled aside, and there the little
lovely child lay, bleeding et the

Tho poor mother with a shriek,
took her baby to her heart, it
sighed, sighed—and lay still. Ran-

Wont he left his room.
'11e could never look at liquor
again i" questioned the traveller.
"Sir, he swore he never would,"
cried the. older man, • " swore it, as
his letter says, by all that was good
and holy. And even between his
protests he said to me, " I can't
keep from it, Fred, I can't—Ws too
strong fbr me." Pcould not believe'
that he'judged truly of his weak-
ness, but ho knew it too well—it
was no longer for him to take it or
leavo,it alone.
Ono day when we believed him
safe at his office, he entered the
house looking, I thought, remark-
ably well. But when Lucy saw, his
face, she sprang up with a bitter
trembling cry. Ho stood, as is
listening, at the door of the room,
looking in.
" Lucy, where's little Florry 1" I
Want to take her out with me," he
.said in a perfeetty-uatural•voice.
-- Though quite steady on his legs,
•and with perfect control of his utter-
ances, he had dank himself into
absolute forgetfulness
--And from -that day out he -could
not bo restrained. He would have
liquor. • Again audAtgain he escaped
from his room in which wo tried to
confine him. His •cunning and
agility were preternatural. The
deuton that he had dared to trifle
with never left him afterward,- and,
at last, searching for him 'after au
escape iu the night, we found him
half 'naked, face down, quite dead
in a ditch.
" Oh, horrible 1 sir, most hor•
rible," said the young traveller..
" And 11,-,w I ask you. whether I
can credit any man who says of •
liquor that he " can take it or leave
it alone 1" The most helpless sot
you know ber,au with that belief. •
You hold. it.afirmly and I wish I
could have a clearer vision orwhat
your face will be an ten years."
• The young traveller took from
his pocket the flask whichhad led
to the story, and poured its A 1 con-
tents into the wash-basiu of that
Pullman car. That was nearly
eleven years ago, and when he told
me this story, or its substanco, yes-
terday, it come from thesound lips
of a prosperous man, saved from
temptation.
