TEE KNOT OF BLUE RIBBON.
BY DOROAS,
UnsPht Feel all right, do;you 2' Well,

abuts ayes peering over his gleans at Net•
tie Janos, who, evading both question and
assertion, asked, " What do you thins of
them this morning 2"
"Henry and the girls are doing fairly
well, but Charlie is not improving. Give
me another glass of water and a spoon."
He watched her with anxiety as she left the
room. " It's safe to say she will be in bed
to -morrow ,• ought to be there now," was
his mental eminent.
Nettie returned with the water, counted
the drops of dark fluid as they fell from the
vial; then, mechanically stirring the mix.
tore, asked, "How shall I give it r
"You will take It every hour ; don't
you miss one. You have had a chill some
time this morning and your throat is sore
• now. YOU must not neglect yourself, for
if the head nurse gives out the hospital is li-
ableto collapse: Tell your father he must stay
and keep up the fire and help take Dare of
the children ; you certainly can't do it alone.
I'll' look in again during the day."
So saying, the doctor buttoned his coat,
took his hat from the table and, looking in-
tone depths as if seeking the solation of a
difficult problem, left the house. Once out-
side he gave a quick glance at the surround-
ings and muttered between set lips : "A
pretty place for sink folks ; if they don't all
die 'twill be a wonder. Such men as Jo
ought to be flogged every time they get
drunk and, if they won't provide for their
families, repeat the dose until the desired
results are obtained," was the conclusion
in a professional tone, taken on with the old
formula, and the doctor looked very severe.
But if he had been the one to administer the
flogging he had just prescribe$, it would
have been poorly done ; for Doctor Clark
had such a great, tender heart he could not
hurt a fly.
It was no wonder bis indignation was
called forth at sight of the misery he had
left. The house was indeed a sorry -looking
plaoe, marked with ruin and decay from
chimney to foundation. Great cracks
showed around windows and doors, through
which the searching wind entered to make
the inmates shiver. Old hats and pieces of
carpet were stuffed in here and thereto take
the place of missing window -panes. The
very gate partook of the general dejection.
Having hitched along on one hinge for some
time, bravely trying to fulfill its duties, it
had given up the contest and now lay upon
the ground. On one corner of the dingy,
weather-beaten house a great white card was
tanked, bearing the one word •" DIphtheria."
It was with that dread disease the five child-
ren were stricken down. The mother, in the
last stages of consumption, was now too
weak to leave her bed. So it was a very
helpless family the dootor left behind him,
which had caused the recommendation of en-
ergetic measures to teach the father his duty;
for to We e'il habits could be traced the de-
solation and distress of all connected with
him. -
Jonas Jones, or " fighting Jo," as he was
called for miles around, was the moat note

done inebriate in tows; very quarrelsome
when drank and, as he was scarcely ever
sober, he was more often fighting than do.
ing anything else. His family had endured
for years all kinds, of abuse at bis hands,
with the one exception of little Charlie, six
years old. Upon him Jo lavished all the
love and tenderness left in his hardened
nature. To see the fair, sweet child neat -
ling close to the dreadful man whom all
feared, was a strange eight. . But to Char-
lie he was papa, that was enough ; for, like
little Lord Fanntleroy, he. felt that " one
must love a relation," Although he realized
with a clearness far beyond his years what
the great sin was which held his father in
its mighty grasp, yet, in his devotion and
loyalty to the sinner, no one but the mother
knew how sorely burdened was the little
soul:: At her -knee the smelt voice, pathetic
in its earnestness, asked Jesus to "make
my papa good."
Often when the others were being treated.
to a -fusillade of stovewood and chairs, the
little fellow, cowering in some corner, white
and'trembling with fright, would rush out
and, clinging to the cruel hand, prevent fur-
ther outrage. The ory, ."0 papa, papa,"
had power to quell the whisky demon. Jo
would drop whatever missile he had and,
taking the, sobbing child in his arms, say,
"There, there, don't you be scared ; your
old father won't hurt you."
. "Nettie," gall a feeble voice
from the adjoining bedroom as the door
closed on the retreating form the dootor.
"yes, mother, when I have given a dose to
each of my patients," was the reply. The
click of the spoon against the glass was
heard, canoe, twice, three times; then a pause,
and the listening mother knew Nettie had
reached Charlie'a bed, She heard her ask in
a low, tender voice, "How it my dear boy
now ? Is he very tired lying hero so long 2"
"I'm a little better now."
"Will you take tome medicine 7'
"Don't give me very much, ib tastes so,"
Then Dame the fourth chola Nebbie smooth-
ed bbe pillow, rearranged the bedclothes,
l'arushed back the clustering golden curls
from the fevered face, and, making a vain
attempt to banish all traoee of 'anxiety, en-
tered the mother's room,
" Now mother, what is it 2"
Mrs. Sones looked keenly at her daughter,
and replied. "" It is as 1 feared, my child ;
you aro eiok. You certainly ,can't go on,
giving yourself no root. You have a burn-
ing fever now."

"It's too late to expect anything from
father, except just what we have had ever
since I can remember. Sometimes I think
the only way out of it ie for everyone of ne
to die, and 1 almost wish we could," said
Nettie, desperately,
"Don't forget, dear, that the Lord never
permits more sorrow than he giveeetrengthto
bear," responded Mrs. Jones, soothingly.
"Flerbaps the time has-oome, and out of our
distress shell arise the very thing needed to

" 0 mother," Dried Nettie, "don't expect
it; 'twill only bring disappointment, and
you have borne enough already. Nothing

of the children, but, overcome, by faintness
she fell back into her chair, gasping out

"Dear child, we will still trust him who

down to Mrs. Jones. She is very weak and
hasn't much appetite ; perhaps she may
like it."
" Oh mother 1 what if that dreadful man
should be there? I had nearly as soon
meet a wild animal."
" There is no cause for alarm. I only
wish there was more probability of his be-
ing at home, and less of his being at some
saloon," said Mrs. Hartly.
"I don't think Nettie feels very frie ndly
toward me ; she never will speak when I
meet her, nor let me. I'm sure I don't know
why," said Helen in perplexity.
" It is no lack ot friendliness on her part,
but rather a painful sensitiveness, which
causes her to feel a great distance between
herself and those who have no such burden
of sorrow and disgrace to bear. You and
your friends should try to make this seeming
distance disappear. You can, if yon will,
take the same interest in her that you do in
your own especial mates, and treat her with
like cordiality. But it must be natural and
sincere, not requiring an effort, and you will
very soon win her confidence : then yon can
do much to cheer them through trials of
which you know nothing." •
" I should be glad to if I knew how to be-
gin ;; seems to me it will have to be rather
forced at first," said Helen dubiously.
"Never fear, if your heart is in the work,
the way willbe easily found. Your life has
been bright and balmy, dear ; you mush do
what you can to bring joy into other lives.
Now, if you are ready, carry these things to
Mrs. Jones and see if there isn't something
you can do for her comfort while you stay.''

A Subject for the Lash.
TORONTO, May 31,—Some fiend in human
form lured a respectable girl, who gave her
name as Jennie Brown, to a hotel in the city
the other day, and after making her drink
until she became intoxicated, drove her in a
cab to the Model Lodging.house where he
secured a roem. Police Constable McRae
was going through the "Model" and found
the girl. He took her in charge as a vagrant,
and she was looked up in No. 1 Polioe stat-
ion for the night, where she sat sobbing and
crying her eyes out over her misfortune.
The police have discovered her true name,
and ehe will be sent home this morning.

Like gem in the darkness, outshining,
Where all else is bleakness and blight,—

'Mid setting where sordidness reigns,

Gleam oub in the Iove it contains.
Her heart was trite, and so tender !
She understood Jesus so well!
And He was her loving defender
When censure's sore oyniosyma fell.
The best of her gifts and her treasure

For none could be over the measure
Her love would bestow on her Lord.
She `knew not the balm she was bearing
To Him, 'mid the darkness and gloom,—
Nor how, what she did, was preparing

No unloving, selfish designer
May grudge what her spirit:impelf.;
The words of her Master entwine her
Forever with love's inimortelles.
No gift to His vision may blind it,
Or force Him its graoe to approve ;

And gauges the worth by the love.

It is announced that the French Ministry
will bring forward a bill to save the Panama
canal. The agitation of the measure will be
very sure to raise serious diplomatic ques-
tions. The French Government has no trea-

up the work. The Colombian authorities
have so declared, and Mr. Blaine's attitude
is pretty well understood. Still if France
concludes that there is valuable salvage in
the wreck which can only be saved by
governmental intervention on her part,

has been invested in the enterprise thrown
