RUE: TO HIS RACE CHAPTER XXVII. And since "'tis only made to be good," the young Earl of Wellrose was noble in the best and highest seise of the word, for Ito was good -and not only goo, but wise and brave. So thought poor Benjamin Hurst, as he gazed 'upon ale unknown broth- er andl generous benefactor, with a heart too full of gratttede for words. "This , is the third day ot this month. The regiment is expected to sail on the first of the next mantle You will have four weeks for prepar- ation-aellPle time; and if I can give you any assistance in any ellaine am very heartily at your service," said Lord Wellrose very cerdially, "MY lord," faltered Benny, in a voice Choked with, emotion, and With eyes full of tears, "I cannot express the thanks that fill my heart to breaking. Oh, ray good lord, I am not worthy of your goodness, and if you knew all my past life you would not think ine fit to fill the honor- able position your generosity would obtain for me! I do wish to enter the army, but I am only it to be a cora- mon soldier, and scarcely fit. for that; for what honest soldier would consort if he knew it, with a returned eon- vict? Not one. Ah, no! ala no! mY woeful past,. can never be blotted out," said Benny, burying his lace In his hands and groaning deeply. e The young earl laid his hand affec- tionately on the outeasths shoulder and said: "Your past life of bitter wrong and. unmerited shame can and shall be blotted out, You are but a youth still. You shall begin life anew from this day, You are true, honest, courageous and very intelligent. You have edu- cated yourself under difficulties that might well have discouraged the firm- est heart. In the midst of undeserved degradation you have prepared your- self for an honorable career ,and you shall have it,""nald the earl with much emotion. "Oh, my lord, my lord, you over- whelm me with your goodness! But still I must tell you that you do eot know all of my past life. If you did you woula never think me a Benny's voice -broke down. "My boy, I tlo know all your past life, and I pronounce you blameless in it all; and I have nothing but sym- pathy and compassion, and friendly forgetfulness, to bestow upon it," said the earl, kindly. "Oh, Lord Welirose, there is some- thing behind that you do not know, and that you must be tan before you get this ensign's commission for me, and throw ,me into the company of gentlemen," said Benny. "Well, well, my dear boy, if there be any circumstance connected with your past life with which you think I am not acquainted, and which you wish to tell me, speak now, under- standing, however, that it will make no difference in my views and pur- poses toward you." "Ab'Lord Wellrose, you think you know the worst, but you do not. You know, indeed, that I was brought up among thieves and beggars, and taught to do their deeds." "You were not to be blamed, but very much to be pitied for that enis- fortune." "You know* that I was tried for burglary and -convicted, and sent to the penal colonies, where I passed fourteen, years in the company of felous." "I know that you were most eruelly and unjustly convicted, and that you passed your time there blemelesely, doing your appointed work, and using every opPortunity for self-iniprove- ment, and Alma you educated yourself in the face of the most appalling ob- etacles. Yes, I know all that. What more as I to be told as 'the worst?'" "My lord, you know that I was the companion of thieves, that I \yes a convict; but you. do not know that before all that I was—" Benny'S voice broke down, so that he , aould scarcely go on. "I was -the child of sin and shame, nameless and aban- doned from my birth." The earl took the outcast's hand and held it affectionately, while he gravely replied: "I know the whole story -as •far as anyone knows it -as far, even, as you know it yourself. The sin and the shame were not yours -not Yeurs," he repeated. "No, not mine," sighed Benny, "but yet the penalty and the punishment must fall on me, in common honor, whether you can properly purchase a commission for me that will put mo in the. company of gentlemen -whether these gentlemen, if they knew my art- tecedents, would not demand my ex- pulsion from among them?". "My dear Benjamin, if...they should know your antecedents without know- ing your true character -if they should know your penal sufferings without knowing your perfect guiltlessness -no doubt their judgment Would be harsh and their actions severe. But since they cannot know the whole, they shall not know a part. Half truth ie always so deceptive! They shall know nothing of your past, Benjamin. It Is, in fact, none of their businesee" "Ah, Lord Wellrose, my very name -my name, which has flgured so much its the police reports connected with this murder -my name would betray. Me!" said :Benny, despondinglY. "I have beeri thinking or that, and have been providing or it," said the earl. Benjamin looleed up inquiringly, • "The name you bear, that of Benja- Min Hurst, is not your own." "NO," said the pe,br outcast, sadly, "1 have not even a legal:right to the itame I bear, since I ani nett the son of Magdalene Hurst; nor have I even a Christian right to lt, Sillets I have never been baptized." "Then give it up.

This was the first occasion upon which ne had eeen her since her brother's death and deathbed confession,and his own con- sequent release from prlion. Suzy received 'him in a plainly -fur- nished little sitting -room, She had never occepied the gay and beautiful rose parlors since the deathof her brother. She was dressed in deep mourning, and it moy have been that the intense blackness of her dress rnade her face appear even paler than It was, for it seemed Marino white now,. She advanced to meet her visitor very kindly , saying softly: "Oh, Benny, I am. sie rejoiced tbat you are free, and fully vindicated!

But you are 'vindicated and re- jeased. Oh, I rejoice, and thank God that you are, my brother! my dearest brother!" she said, taking both his hands and pressing them to her heart. "Dear Suzy, it is very sweet to hear you say this -very sweet and •coin - forting. But, little slaw, 1 cannot fully rejoice in ray freedom, since it has come at such a Cost to you," said the young man, with emotion, as he took the seat she offered him.

"Unfit to be his wife, Suzy!" echoed the young man, who, in his own blind aud passionate love, believed her fit to be a king's wife. "Yes;" she said calmly, "for he is the Earl of Wellrose, and he will he the Duke of Cheviot.

(Philadelphia Record) The statement that "tbo Turkish for- ces are in practically undisturbed occu- pation of more than 20,000 aquare miles of Egypt," sounds rather ominous for the Britieh until it is remembered that these 30,000 square miles are absolute de- sert, of practically no value to either Invader or defender. So far as produc- tivity is concerned, the peninsula of Sinai, the land thus occupied, is on a par with the Desert of Sahara. When Napoleon invaded Egypt he marched out of it in a direction just the reverse of .that which the Turks are now taking. In view of recent Turkish performances in war there may well be doubts whether the Sultan's soldiers will be able to re- peat the great spectacular success of the I'Veneh conqueror. +1 • PILES CURED AT HOME BY NEW ABSORPTION METHOD If you !Wier from bleeding, itching, blind or protruding piles, send me your address, and 1 wlJI tell you how to oure yourself at home by the new absorption treatment; and will also send 90MS of this home treatment free fer trial, with referenees from your own locality if requested.
