Tom layon his bed, WhiCh WitS pushed up •to the open, screened win- dow. " Ho turned hes dull heavy eyes 1IP to his sister. "Good-bye/' he said, in a spiritless way. • Her faee softened with pity. With sudden determination she dreW from her pocket a 'small coin, and going °vet' to lain.' laid it in his hand. ''Por the box!" she whispered. A quick light darted over his face. It was :Worth having no breakfast but Tom's left -over toast crusts, jest for the happiness of seeing „that one short expression of loy mid hope. Debby loCked the door' and 'hid the key in the corner of the window back of the blind. If any o? the neighbors should happen to come to see Tom, he could tell them where' to find ,it. As she passed out of the yard, she looked back at the tiny rear • telle- Inent she had reit. Tom's new wire screen looked very' well indeed. And it was ed much clearer to look out through than the former mosquito netting She felt quite sure she had not been extravagant to buy it. It was a warm, pleasant autumn morning, 'and' When she had reached, unlocked and entered Miss Lewis's little dressmaking shop, she opened i.,he front window, first thing. Then ohe sat down before it and began potting the braid on Mrs. Stickney's new skirt. The ,owner was to come for her suit at 10 o'clock. As Deb- by stitched, she glanced' out occa- sionally, at a passing footstep or ve- hicle in the street, Suddenly a ,car- riage drew up at the door and stop- ped. A Stylish appearing yomeg wo- man jumped out, carrying a bundle, and the driver stayed in the carriage and waited. "It isn't Mrs. Stiek- imy," reflected Debby; relieved. Sem Ushered in the young woman. 'Miss Lewis is not at home, she said. 'She' was called home two days ago by- her mother's sickness.'' "Oh," exclaimed the visitor, "I am so disappointed!" .She set her bundle down on the big work table, which contained several partly finish- ed articles, and looked gravely and helplessly at Debby. "Are you her aesistant?'' she asked. Debby's ,face flushed. "I can hard- ly say that,''' she said modestly. `'I used to do Miss- Lewis's housework, by the day. She saw I was interest- ed in her work, and kindly helped me. 1 hape' begun to sew for her all the time now, but I am' only an aPe • prentice yet, and do praetically no - tiling without her help.'' • The visitor still watched Debby in deep thought, and her eyes took in every detail of Debby's figure and dress not rudelv, but with a stud- ious, professional air. "Miss Lewis" she said, "would never have taken P01115 with you unless you had been worth her trouble. She is a real artist, and could have a large estab- lishment, but S'he prefers few custom- ers and a. smiell place-. I suppose you made the dress you have one" • she suddenly added. 1 Debby shrank Imelc with a mildly protesting air. "I justmade this cheap work dreas to Suit my own self," she said, .apologetically. ":1: believe you could suit me, too," said the 'visitor, now gently beseech- ing. "You are a true pupil,, of Miss Lewis. Will you make Mine?" "I could not; indeed, I could not!" "Would you, if I took every risk? The other dressmakers I know o5 would'hot please me -for this dress; and if you do. not;, I shall be no worse off for your doing it. Please-. please try it!" She rapidly unrolled the beautiful dress pattern of tan, - colored silk, with exquisite lace and insertion for the yoke folded in tis- sue paper. Debby's face grew pale litt the imagination of herself cutting nto the costly fabric. ane Helen Eastman," went on thepleading, anxious voices. "and I 'am to sing at the Union church a.t the dedication services. I am to stand beside the choir, who Sing the thorus parts :with' me,: --but outside the railing, in full view.

Besides,'' she hesitated, thensadded blushingly, '''some friends tire coming--" Suddenly she put hein hands on :Debby's shoulders. "Please --please try," she said, pleadingly. Tom, watching for his sister out of his new screen that night, saw' her coining into the yard with a large bundle in ter arms and a 'troubled expression on her face. The brother had taken a great, interest in De,b- by's work, the details of which she •alwe,ys explained to him. So lie listened with almost breathless in- terest. while she. told Min' all about her intercourse with Helen Eastman and,, her own inability to refuse her kquest. . '1 ought to have been 'firm ," said Debby, 'despairingly, '`and.not undee- taken it. lint it's too late to honor- ably refuse now. Yet it scenes to me aa -if I could never dare to cut into that dress! I almost,wish. you had not so' nicely ,fixed over that old seWiene machine that Miss Lewis gave me.

"Debby," he said, emphatically, "it would be a great thing, if you could make that drese," After supper the kitchen table was moved up close to the -bed the light placed on it, 033(1 for a while the in- valid forgot his twisted, useless legs as, with bated breath he watched his Sister cut into the ten silk.

SattirdUY eVdning, Helen sent 11 messenger for the dress. When Debby gave him the bendle, he handed her an eavelope, and was going away innnediately. ''Please wait a min- ute," she said, as she tore open the envelope,. It simply contained mon- ey, more than Miss Lewis was accus- tomed to receive for making a dress. "Wai 1 for the elonage," she added. Eastmau said,'' replied the deChiOdly ha' C0U1'te00S1,17, "that she sent the proper amount, and 1 was to receive nothing back." Then he went away, carefully hand- ling the daintily done -up bundle. Debby pinned the bills tog*ether with a memo explaining them, and put tlifem into Miss ,Lewis's InenCy drawer When morning , came Tom seemed uneasy. "I should thinks" he finally exclaimed "'that you might go to the church and see if she wears it!" ‘,'"Let us take it for granted that she does not, Tom," said Debby, ".1: don't want to take thiegs for granted!'' said Tom, with spirit, want to find out for sure! She prepared herself, with a sink- ing heart to go to the church. The work dress and worn jacket were carefully brushed, the ribbon on the brown felt hat smoothed out, and Debby, at the ringing or the' belL went out into the beautiful autumn morning. The church was filled with the fra- grance of flowers, but Debby did not raise her eyes to look at them. The organ sounded, a triumphant preludd. The simple yet eloquent prayer fol- lowed. Debby had not yet glanced tip, and now she put her hands over her eyes. It was not tilt Helen sang her first solo tInet she had sufficient control over herself to look up for the first time quite prepared for the realization of her worst fears. She looked immediately down again, her eyes filled' with tears of glad, sweet relief. IIer vision was blurred to all things visible. But that perhaps made more vivid the in- ward vision of Tom's triomphant,glad expression, when she would have told him that Helen wore ,the new dress. The audience seemed to listen breath- lessly to the grand old hymn, sung to them in a voice of unusual feeling. Debby felt a shy, glad consciousness that she had helped the singer's mis- sion, as the flowers and attractive church did the preacher's. As she was gliding across the cone - mon homeward, she felt a touch on her arm, and looked up, startled. Helen was looking down on her with a happy smile; by her side stood a pleasant -faced young man. ,'`Char- ley," said Helen, this is the young lady who made, all alone, this new Mess e-ou think so tasteful and pret- ty." Debby shrank back, embarrassed, feeling that IIelen had thoughtlesely forced the young limn to notice her, when he might rather hot. But no- thing could be more cordial and hap- py than the brotherrershand-clasp and pleasant smile. When Debby had left them. it suddenly occurred to her that this young man was the' "some friends" Helen had spoken about, and she smiled. AS she entered the yard, Tom, eagerly watching., sawier arm full of chrysanthemums. She, nodded a smiling assent to his mute question and brought the flowers in and laid them on his bed. "Did you mean," Ile said, "that she wore the dress?" "Yes, she wore it." • He drew a long breath of satisfaction. ''When I passed by Miss Lewis's," she went on, "I saw that she had re- turned. She sent the flowers to you and gave me my- pay envelope. Her mother is better." She put the flow- ers in the pitcher on his window sill, then 'prepared dinner, which on -Sun- day they ate together in Toni's room. Debby told Tom about the' church and flowers, the sermon and music, and about meeting Helen. The flow- ers on the window sill gave out a look of encouragement. When the simple meal was ended, Debby opened her pay enveliape. A certain sum had been laid out, in agination, for Tom's box., -a iittie more than could be well spared; but .she wished to make the amount cis large as possible on account of Tom's help about the dress. Suddenly, 'a low exclamation escaped her lips.' Tem looked up at her, and was alarmed at her frightened expression. She was reading- a short note from Miss Lewis. "What is it?" he asked. "Don't she want you to work, for her any more? Well, never mind,'' consoling- ly. "We'll get along, The money inthe box will last quite a while, till you get another place." She seemed unable to speak, and passed the note to him. Ile read these words: "pear Debby. I return herewith the money for Miss East- man's dress. You evidently made it at nights ae, your. own home. Be- sides, I am very sure Miss Eastman meant the money for you alone. Wishing you a happy day, I am your sincere friend; Jane Lewis, Debby had by this time got out the yet pinned -together roll of bills. She went , quietly over to the bed and folded 11 (10101117 in Tom's hands_ "You don't need the box any more," .she. aid gently, Itere is more than enough •for the wheeled chair." • Tom turned his head quietly to- ward the wall, and did not speak. Debby 10010011 surprised and hurt that he did not show nny pleasure. Suddenly. \ as she continued 1.0 glance wonderingly at him, she saw more distinctly his face. Then she turned quickly away pretending she' heel not noticed. COSTLY S'1'0 OK:LNG S Soine of the Prices paid by rich pcolple for articles of clothieg in Paris are remerkable.

Facts About the Famous Norwe- gian Town, e Bergen, the second, largest city of ,Norway, was partly destroyed by fire recently, lt being one of the ohlest and Most interesting towns of North Europe, the calamity that has de- . stroyec1 some millions of dollars worth of property will be widely re- . grated. The fact that Bet•gen is one of the wettest towns in the world did not save it from the great dietester.

It is a relic, in that far northern' country, of the Middle Ages. ,Practically all the per- sons, aleout, 2,000 in number, who are tainted with the virus of leprosy, live in the neighborhOdd of, Bergen. When their forefathers were attacked with the disease, _Bergen was the on- ly centre. of population .o11 the west coast and the disease has been cone fined ever since to th'e region immed- iately around it, The evil apparent- ly originated from an almost exclu- sive diet of fish. Under modern methods of treating leprosy the num- ber of victims is gradually decreas- ing. Bergen, from the oldest times,. has P0011 the chief place 111 north Europe for - TETE FIST -TING TRADE. 'rho time was when the great catch of cod and herring along the coast north of Bergen was all brought to that town to be cured. It has large- ly lost this business since the devel- opment of a considerable nuniber Of iniportOnt towns further north Where most of the fish caught among the Lofoten Islands and other coast dis- tricts are noW cured; but the larger, part of the catch is brought to Der- , . gen to be gent to thui e vario s m - porting countries. In March next about 40,000 onen and '7,000 boats will, as usual, be at work on the Lo-, foten fishing grounds alone. ' Four - fifth e of all the fish that -Noiway catches is sent to the larere fish-eate ing countrieseof Europe and the lar- ger 'met of the trade is centered in Bergen. ' So it is a very busy come mercial town though it has behind it nee hinterland of Mdustrial impor- tance, for the mountains that hem it in are almost uninhabited. Nearly all the Norwegian steam- ships that come to New York are owned in Berger,, for no other' port of the country has so large a tonne • . . age of sea -going vessels. it weD- kilo \lei that N o may, hailing many ships and not very much commerce, sends a great many vessels to other countries to helpcarry their Com- modities and thus the shipping of Bergen is represented, in many foreign ports .• To illustrate the antiquity of the' town it may be mentioned that be- fore Columbus 'discovered America, Bergen's skippers long had the ex- clusive -right to visit the coasts of Greenland. That was When very few European countries knew that such a land existed. It is natural that such a town should have a consider- able number of buildings that are in- teresting for their great age.

A Bishofi's Scherrie for Putting an End to Polygamy. The missionaries in South Africa recently held a convention in Natal. femong the queetion that -claimed their attention was that of poly- nalnY ahlong natives. TheY discussed the practicability of nialcing a crusade against this custom. Many of them declared that the practice was con- demned not only by moral but also by business considerations. The Bis- hop of :eleshonaland asserted that the country might find in polygamy the real reason for the very incon- Venient dearth of labor in the mines. The native father looks uponhis daughter 'merely as so much. merchan- dise'. IR: will cheerfully pert with •her if he can get what he considers to be her value in cattle. The girl is sold to lier future husband for from' five to fifty head of cattle, ac- cording to her beauty as that qual- ity is estimated among the natives. An exceedingly fat girl is very beau- tiful indeed, and brings the highest piece in the matrimonial market. The father of a family who raises a large number of daughters ,is cer- tain to become rich. The more wives Pc has the more daughters are in prospect, thus it, is highly desirable to have quite a number of wives. The young man who agrees to sell his labor Jew a stipulated time in the gold or diamond mines has only one thought, and that is to get 50.1120 money with which lie may purchase Crittle and exchange them for a wife. When he has secured • this desirable object he Will do' no more work for the white man till he wants. more wivee, In the course of time he will have daughters to sell and then ho will do no more work at all. :His wives will do all the field work, his datighters will bring in more cattle ainrhie herds Will grOW 16 by na- tural inceease.

The Local Paper Publishes a Col- • umn About His Case -- Worst Form. of Rheumatism -- Dodd's Kidney Pills Have Proven a Blessing to Him. Sundridge, Ont., Oct. 7 (Special). --The Echo of this place has pub- lished a signed statement which can- not fail to interest all who undere stand the full meaning of the word Rheumatism from personal experi- ence. A representative of that paper interviewed Mr. William 13oeg, a well-known farnaer of Strong Town- ship, who was cured of Rheumatism by Todd's Kidney Pills this spring, and he gave out the following state- ment for publication : " For four years 1 suffered excru- dating torture, during which tilne was scarcely ea11 hour free from pain. The trouble commenced in my back where it often remained sta- tionary for months, and so intense Was the pain that I could not lie down or take rest, but had to sit night and day in a chair. The pain would then remove to other parts of my body, ,and when in my knees, disabled me from walking., confining me constantly to my room. " I was tr.ated by several doc- tors and also tried many medicines, Without receiving any benefit. Al- most in despair / feared I would never again experience the pleasure of being free from pain. " Early in this spring isay atten- tion was called to seine remarkable cures of Rheumatism effected by Dodd's Kidney Pills. I procured a box, and soon found thby were doing me good, so I kept on, until now I can say 1 arn a new man, entirely free from pain and have continued so ever since, being able to attend to my daily' duties on the farm ancl feel strong and able to work. I verily believe this great change was eflected by Dodd's Kidney Pills and I think it ray duty to make this statement public for the benefit of all afflicted as I was." SUBSCRIPTIONS IN INDIA.
