it was recently announced that Ab-
botsford, the home of Sir Walter Scott,
had been bought by Frank J. Gould. j.
Maxwell -Scott has sent out a denial of
the story, and adds that Abbotsford is
not for sale. Perhaps it is not a mat-
ter of public concern, but'there are inn,ny
Scotsmen who will be pleased to learn
that the place, which has a certain sac-
redness of the memory of the great
poet and novelist, is not to be exchanged
for "Yankee gold.'
A Chicago minister, preaching in De-
troit the other day, told his eongrega-
tioni "It is the business of the minis-
ter to shear his flock." The statement
was made following a story of a sheep
that was shorn to benefit He physical
health. Dr. Aitchison argued from this,
that 11 18 for the soul's health of the
layman to be obliged to "loosen up for
foreign missions." The minister's pur-
pose was doubtless good, but the phrase
was a little unfortunate.
The Chicago Tribune is eonductiag a
campaign for what it calls the "penny
lunch," for the hots of half-starved
children who are forced by the law to
attend the public schools, but who suf-
ler for lack of. food. It sap: "There
are many such in the Ctheago public
wheels. Teachers used to oil them
dull, stupid, slow witted. Now the
teacher e know the trouble is that they
are underfed. They are inattentive, be-
cause they are all tbe time thinking of
something to eat." If such a comlition
were complained of in it British tow,
we should be recommended to try pro-
tection as a remedy. The Chicago Trite
tine's plan is better; but wily call it a
"penny hutch" when A "cent hatch" is

"Yes," said. Bertie. "I—I suppose he'll

keeping his voice as steady as be could,
but glancing at tile slightly open door;
it waved a little, and he knew that the
girl he intended to save was listening.
"Yes, I suppose so," assented Lord

Bertie's heart seemed to stand. still.
The critics,' moment was approaching.
"Do you think that he ever behaved.
nnfairly?" he asked, slowly and. clearly,
so that every word should reach the
next room,
Joan leant forward, her eyes fixed on
the broad back of the man sitting near
her, as if she would drag a negative
from him.
Lord Pontelerc stared.
"I thought you were talking of Stuart
Villiers!" he said, with a Sneer.
"So 1 was," said Bertie, faintly.
Lord Pontelerc laughed in a leisurely,
sarcastic fashion.
"Did he ever behave fairly?" he re-
toited, blowing the smoke front hie lips.
"Yon must have a bad memory, Dews-
bury. Have you forgotten that scandal
about Lady George?"
"You—you mean that he tempted her
to fly from her home with aim?"
"Of course I do," assented Lord Pont -
clove. "Didn't Lord George meet Vil-
liers at Calais and. exchange shots?—a
ridiculous proceeding nowadays --but
Lord George was always old-fashioned."
Joan put her hand to her head and
elutebed. the edge of the door. Was this
some horrible nightmare—these two
voices speaking in this way of the man
she loved—the man she had tritsted!
'And that is not the only intrigue he
has been mixed.' up with," said Bertie,
slowly.
Lord Pontelere laughed.
"The only one! You might put it in a
basket with half a dozen others and
still find some more to keep it com-
pany. I 'tell you that Stuart Villiers
has done more harm in that way than
any man in London! Why, you know
that. I should think!"
White and trembling, Joan put her
hand to her lips to crush back the cry
that seemed choking her.
"Ah," said Bertie, after a pause; "and
yowthink—look here, Pontclere; I want
to ask your opinion. Supposing—mind,
tbis is quite a supposititious easel—I
say, supporting Stuart Villiers chanced
to meet a young girl—an innocent, pure -
hearted girl. Suppose he got this girl
to believe in him, told her, in short, that
lie meant to marry her, and—and—"
his voice broke and grew hoarse in his
excitement—"and persuaded her to
leave her home and fly with him. Hush,
not a word! Hear me out. Do you
think that he would act honorably by
her?—do you think that he would have
mercy on her innocence and -purity?—
that he would, in short, keep his word
and—marry her?" Ethel he leant back and
wiped the great drops from his fore -
bead, his eyes fixea on the opposite
door.
‘Do I think if Villiers had induced
an innocent girl to run away with him
on the pretence of marrying her, that
once having got her into his power he
would keep his promise?" lie said.
"Yes!" answered Berth:, hoarsely.s,
"My dear Bertie, if any young friend
of yours, anyone in whoin you take an
interest, has been so foolish as' to put
such trust in Stuart Villiers—good
Lord! Stuart VilliarsI—all 1 eall say is
that she isslostl lost! ruined! Past all
liope and recovery."
Joan, with her bands clenched tightly,
her heart beating wildly, rose and stag-
gered to a door, and held it swaying
backwards and .forwards. She felt as if
she were going to faint, And meant to
die rather than do so. The truth, the
awful truth, had struck home to her
heart at IAA,
With parted lips she threw up her
hands and cried silently, "Stuart!
Stuart! My life, my lovel And you
have done this!"
Then, snatching up her cloak and hat,
she put ahem on, and opening the door
that led to the landing, passed noiseless-
ly out,

Nee/. theueli Mordeunt licyse was One
the but hnoWn men in fastilorable
London, few knew anything about hie
inner life—that is, his home life.
For years past he had been the juice'
whielt has found food for Mr. Craddock.,
of Chain Court, Eenchurch street. It had.
been his duty to hunt dowu the noble
game, the rich seions of the aristrocacy,
and drive tbem into tile den of his rims-

But during tbe last Week or two some-
thing else bad sprung up to employ his
acute brain.
Ever since Elijah Cratidoek had told
lam the story of Stuart Villiers and the
lot will, his restlese *Iliad had been on
the work, the twe millions loomed. up
before Idea, and haunted him day awl
night.
He felt assured, with Crandoek., that
a will existed, and, that Lord Stuart
Villiers had no right to the vest prop-
erty, but he was still no nearer finding
the rightful owner, and the rieh booty
still evaded his grasp.
For some thee paet he had not visited
the old man,
But this Morning he resolved to pay
Chain Court a visit; it might be that the
old inert ha a something to tell hiat re-
speeting the two millions,. he might have
discovered something. It was a lovely
morning, and Royce, who enjoyed nature
--when she wore her best dress, thought
he would go round by the park.
He lit a choice cigar—one of Lord Br -
tie's by the way, and sauntered
through the gates. Mordaunt B,oyee
made his Way to the eud of the gravel
path, and was about to cross the road
into Piceiteilly, when he saw a slim,
girlish figure hurry over the crossing,
and after pausing a moment to look to
right awl left uncertainly, sink on to
one of the seats by the rails.
He was a keen and close observer, and
in an instant lie saw that the figure be-
longed to a young girl, that it was
graceful, aud that it was attired in a
costume that, though not stylish and
fashionable, was that of a lady.
This was quite enough to whet his
curiosity .and make him desirous of see-
ing her face.
He crossed over, and stopping just itt
front of her, said In hi a softest voice:
"I beg your pardon; Did you speak
to me?" •
Joanfor it was she, dropped her
hands 'from her faee, iind looked up at
hint
Mordaunt Royce was never guilty of
starting, or expressing any emotion re-
serinhing surprise, or he would have
started then. As it was he was speech -
lees for a moment, etruek dumb by the
wonderful beauty and misery of the
girlish face lifted to lib gaze.
"I thought you spoke," he saki, softly
and encouragingly.
"No," said Joan. Then her eyes wan-
dered item, his face to the trees in front
of her, and then back again.
"Where is this? What place is this?"
she asked., in a dull, leaden voice. -
"This is Hyde Park," he replied, as
softly as before; "are you 'oohing for
Anyone ?"
• "No, no," she murmured, wildly; "no
one, thanks," and she rose and went
quickly past him.
Royce stood for a moment looaing af-
ter her, aorely tempted to follow; then,
with a shrug of his shoulders, he went
to the gate and called a hansom, and
told the driver to take him to Eenchurch
street.
Old Craddock was seatea on hi s high
stool, poring over his acconnt book; bat
at sight of the gentlemanly dressed fig-
ure, climbed down and shot the bolt in
the door,
"Come at last!" he ejeuniated, "Where
on earth have you been? Elii where
have you been,
"What is the natter?" demanded
Royce, coolly, taking out a cigar and
lighting it,
"I've been expecting you for days/'
said old Craddock, eagerly. "I've some-
thing to tell you." And he told the
story of .Stuart 'Villiers' visit to the
Wold with the Oliver party, and the dis-
covery of the portrait and it8 resem-
blance to Joan.
"Is that all?" said Royce, oally. "A
matter of mere resemblance. There is
nothing in that:,
"Nothing in that!" echoed old Crad-
dock, "I tell you the slightest thing
may prove a, -clue. I tell you this girl
this Joan Ormsby, was the image of the
portrait! I never saw anything like it!
And remember she is not a daughter of
this Colonel Oliver! She is his ward; as
lie cells her Nobody knows anything
about her I Mark that!"
"There may be something in It," he
said, carelessly. "But where is ths por-
trait?"
Old Craddock shuffled to a large eefe
and unlocked it, and breught out a bidek
wooden case.
Mordaunt Royee stepped forwera to
look at the portrait with a careless, non.
&talent air, cigar in hand, then audaen-
ly lie bent over the pieture with an ex-
clamation of astonisbment.
"Well, well!" demanded old Craddoek
"What is it?"
"What is it?" reiterated Mordaunt
Royce, "Why, I saw the original on
Hyde Park this morning --an honr—hali
an hour agol"
"'Wrong for once, 'Royce, my bay!
The. girl that this is like is at Deer-
:`.alllhe, in Devonshire."
"I don't ore," commenced Royce,
When the door behind them was shaken
violently,
The old man seized the portrait, re-
stored it to the safe, and, pointing sto
an inner offine, waited until Royce had
slipped in; then he opened the doer, and
A stalwart figure strode past hate

So Mrs. Parsom, Renting trouble, at
first stared blankly at the fireplace,
then replied initially:
"Anyone to see her? Ole noI"
"Go," said Lord Villiars, his face grow-
ing Neer as it seemed each molnent—
"go awl look over the house,go end
examine tlie other room% upstairs, any-
where! ahe may have mietaken her
way. Go quickly, !nose!"
The landlatly, still more suspicious,
aed still more convinced that safety lay
in silenee and discretion, left the room,
and Lord Villiers peed up an down
with feverish impatience.
"Well?" he demended, when she re
turned,
sir, your good lady is not in the
house; I've looked everywhere—she must
have gone out, Or! She may have run
out to bay something—. -J'
"No, no, it is impossible!" cried Lord
Villiers, hoarsely, "Wiwi I came in the
door was open—the street door."
"Then she has slipped out quite un-
awares, sire" she said, with ae air Of
convictiou."
Lord Villiers put his haeil to his fore-
head, vainly trying to leap to Rome con-
clusion, some clue to the mystery.
In confused bewilderment he seized his
hat.
"If—if my wife should return while
am away," he said, "tell her that I shall
be beck directly, and that she is on no
account to leave the lieu° amnia"
"Very well, sir," said Mrs. Parsons,
and she let him go without Baying a
word of Lord Bertie.
Where could she go? To whom could
she fly? There was no onel As he
pondered, he suddenly remembered Mr.
Craddock. Joan had met him and.
knew ,that he lived in London, and that
he was a lawyer. If she were lost She
might recollect the old man, and ask to
be taken to him.
.The thought gave him fresh hope, and
he went streight to Chain Court, Fen-
caureli street.
"Hes anyone celled here for me?" he
asked, abruptly.
"Called here—for you, my lord? No,"
said Mr. Craddock, his head on one side,
like a .jackdaw's, his eyes; fixed curiously
on the stern, handsome face, "Did you
expect anyone, my lord?"
"Yes—no—I do not know," said Lord
Villiers, confusedly.
The old man stood eegarding bhn
kee`'In'imY. afraid something is the matter;
some unpleasant business upset your
lordship. You couldn't come to anyone
more anxious to assist your -my lord."
"Thanks," broke in Lord Villiers. "I
aux in greet trouble, I—I have lost a
frientle—a dear friend! She was to be
my wife."
The old man's sharp eyes grew into
mere slits as he nodded.
"My wife!" repeated Lord Villiers,
finely. "Our marriage was to be a sud-
den and secret one."
"Yes, yes," crooned Craddock. "Your
lordship had sufficient reasons, no
doubt."
"We reached London this morninaI
went out for an hour, and on. returnin. ng
fauna her gone."
"Gone back to her frienas?" suggested
the old: man, with his head on one side.
"No," said Lord Villiers, sternly, "she
would not do that; of that, at least, I
am sure, I thought so for the moment,
but now I am convinced that it is not
so."
"Good) very good, my lord! Your
lordship knows best. She must have step-
ped out to make some purchase and lost
her way."
"Yes, that is no doubt the explanation,
Indeed, it is the only one!"
"Do I know the lady?" 'asked old
Craddock.
"The young lady is Miss Joan Orms-
by," said Lord Villiers.
"Joan Ormsby!" said the old man,
dally.

Craddock clutched the desk wsia one
hand, and swung round on the stool
like a monkey about to spring from
its perch.
"What?" he almost shriekel, his lit-
tle black eyes glitering, his dizengaged
hand clawing the air.
Lord Villiers regarded him sternly,
and the old man, suddenly recovering
himself, slid off the stool, bowing and
rubbing his hands with slavish humility.
"J beg your pardon. my lord, beg your
lordship's pardon; 1. was surprised!

World's Most Beautiful Women.
The woman of Tehaunteitee is the
wooder of the land, Front Rangoon
right around to Tiflis I have never seen
her like, The Cireassian women have
more lustrous eyes, it is true, and the
Chigalese are a white more willowy of
figure, but Miss Tehuana of Thauntepec,
take her by and large, coinbinea more
paysical attractions than any other
woman that I know. When I have said
that these Tehuana women combine the
figure of an Annette Kellerman with
the face and features of a Ruth St.
Denis, and the dignity of carriage of a
Mary Garden, I have need to say but
little further in their praise.. Mesdames
Garden, Kellerman and St. Denis are,
in fact, the ones who may feel compli-
mented by the comparison.
They are olive -skinned, are the Te-
huana women, with a soft rose showing
through; their eyes are big and dark
And sparkling—just such eyes as the
Delores should have who swings in a

tures are perfect and so are their teeth,
which are kept as eleall and white as
thouga they werenntended for a toeth
powder advertisement. Of statuesque
build, but of little more than medium
stature, with great masses of blue -black
hair, exquisite hint% and small feet,
they seem made for artists' models. If
these women were to mate with Cretan
men we should bave a race of demigods

Wanted—AWite Willing to Be a
Mother.
(By Frances Giolbreearilt Ingersoll.)
A young professor, delivering an ad-
dress at a teachers' institute, took oc-
casion to remark that there were two
things in life he desired more than all
else., "One was a wife, the other a Wife
who was willing to be 0, mother,"
The young ladies were properly shock-
ed, the young men indignant, the old
maide and bachelors scandalized.
To vary an old saying—purity is in
the ear of fear.
The young professor wanted. the most
beautiful, the most precious thing on
earth.
A wife who knew Gad made them
twain that they might become one lo
love and desire;
A woman whose greatest joy was to
feel a baby cuddling up close to her
cheek; who was willing to forego the
disfiguring, dewomanizing exactions of
fashion that she might hold "her man-
rhild drinking at her breast"; whose
mother -heart was so great that her
mother -arms were never too full;
A home where patter baby feet made
its sweetest music; sons to call him
"father'" and daughters to base their
standard of manhood upon what lie
sholud strive to be.
A "little" thing, a "despieable" thing,
a "thing of ridieule"—but eomething so
great that it is the nearest to beaven
we will ever know here—a home with
wife and babies to eall his own.

The bravest battle that ever was fought
Shall I tell you where and when;
On the map of the world you'llfind It
not:
'Twas fought by the mothers of men.
But deep lit a walled -up woman's heart—
Of woman that wOuld not yield --
But bravely, silently, bore her part —
So, there is the battlefield.
N o marshaling troop, no bivouac sung,
No banner to gleam and wave!
But, Oh, these battles! they last so long—
From babyhood to the grave!
