'What are you goat' to do with your-
self Law, Bill?" asked his sister a few
days later as he sal. silent in the little
kechen. The man took his pipe from
his. mouth and grinned cunningly.
"That's just wot 1 was deliberatin' on,
Hetty. You know yourself that I never
'ave worked by the sweat of nly brow,

horn yet. 1 was just thinkire over one
or two eons when you spoke. Likely as
net I shall only be a few days 'ere.
Villages ain't the best place for my
sort. Towns are more 'orspitable."
Hetty put down the saucepan she had
been cletteeng and came close up to
him. Her round eyes held a world of
inquiry, her full cheeks had paled.
"You don't mean to say that you're
off again. Remember your hand bas

pockets and sucking his pipe.
She sighed. Ready tears sprang lo
Iter eyes.
"You've mewed soft, Het: soft and
flabby. Why do you want to starve?"
"My savings will last many years,"
she murmured, bending over the tire.
He chuckled, amused.
"Your savings were mine! You don't

Sunbeam sighed. Even as her aunt
had entered the ronin she had been
struggling with her feelings of disap-
proval of this man who was her father.
As Dunean had surmised. the feelinge
of reverence (or him Ind received their
death blow the night befcre. Her heart
was aching with anger for her disloyal-
ly to the man, and at the same time she
felt herself envying the smallest village

soiled with honest ldbor.
"Oh, for a clean ranter' she had

t. bear with his temper, more anxious

whispering in hen ettr:

The next moment she turned, mil-
ing to her father.
"Do you want me, dear?" she asned,
meeting his angry eyes unflinchingly.
"hes,' he growled, his expression
softening nevertheless, for he leved her
as muclu as he could love any one. "I

Sunbeam nodded her head. There was
Something in his face and voice she had
neither seen noe !meal before. What
cc,uld he have to say? Was he meditate
ing some fresh burglary? A shiver. ran
through her.
"Sunbeam, you can't say I've bin a

She started. Love sprang to her face.
She took his roughened hand.
"Vet have been the best of tethers.
I thank you from the bottom of my
heart." she whispered in a low voice,
pressing her soft lips to the horny skin.
Ile glanced triumphantly at his sis-
ter, exclaiming in an exultant tone :
"Then as I've won such gratitood,
Sunbeam. you can't refuse to be a docti-

"Of course mill Have I ever been any-

"rm pin' to let you be so, more, by
asking you to do a simple thing foe
me, ethat you, a Ming no geed girl
would refuse to do for a parent wot 'as

The girl's eyes widenee, her lips grew
dry. A pang of feae shot. through her
heart. What could it be? She glanced
at her aunt. The woman sat as though
tented lo stone, a melte dread in her
eyes. The sight.was not reassuring, but
Sunbeam was plucky.
"What is it, father?" she asked, smil-
ing sweetly at him. "To hear your
voice, rind see Aunt Iletty's face, I
might imagine something terrible. But
I're Sure it cannot be that."

"You cannot! But you must. I'm your

were to be but a memory, and that all

'Take the recent ease of the Spanish
State Lottery, in which the lirst prize of
51,200,000, fell to ticket No. 82,884. This
lucky ticket was divided intc ten shares.
Seven of these were held by a Barcelona
fain for their employes, who divided
$844,900 among them. Another share
was won by it fishmonger; a ninth by a
eoffee-house keeper; aed a tenth by to
tradesman, who each received $120,1100
le exchange for the Spanish—equivalent
for a few dollars, The third prize of
5400,000 fell to a poer cheery -seller end

to purchase ticket No. 15,554; while prizes

Not long ago Fortune proved equally
complaisant lee Mrs. Sewage, a. hely of
Southend, England, W110 W011 a prize of
5200,000 in a Calcutta lottery. When
Mrs. Savage was spoken to by a friend
about the Calcutta lottery she promptly
purchased $40 worth of tickets, for
which a few days later, 'she refused an
offer of 52,500. 1. -ter husband nuide

tented give him $25,000 in the event of
her winning a substantial prize, end
with this offer the lady closed. much, as
may be imagined, to her husband's ole -
light when the good news of the $200,-
ee1 prize came.
In last year's Christmas State Lot-
tery at Madrid the chief prize of $1,000,-
000 fell to a citizen of Corinna, whilst
540,000 in smaller prizes went to a poor
and remote village in the province of
Guadalajara, where, ft was said, so
melt money had never been seen in the
village's histor,e. About the scone time
a snip's fireman, employed on the Wil-
son liner Murillo, received an intima-
tion that ho had drawn a prize of 5200,-
000 kronen (about $40,000), in an Aus-
trian lottery, the result of an investment
of 50 cents; 0. Prague signalman won
anothee prize of the seine value (540,000);
and Totem Pietermate a woman on the
verge of starvation, won the nest prize
et $100,000 in. the Bank of the 'Nobility
Lottery in St. Petersburg.
Still more fortunate was Gustav Leh-
man. a working nom of Freiburg, Swit-
zerland. who last yeae won 1,000,000M.
in Me Milan Exhibillori Lottery. In ano-
ther einem lottery the winner of 5200,-

Felix Galli; 1110 second prize of $20,000
falling to
A POOR SWISS CALLED BERTINI.
The Fates that preside over the 'Paris
Press Lettertes tire equally kind to the
poor. In a recent drawing a humble
boiler -maker named Gepier won the
$0100.000 priee; the second prize of 540,-
0110 went to a small shopkeeper in the
Dole; and the third, of 520,000, M a com-
positor. Copley, who lives at Lille, is a
bachelor of forty. He and his brother-
in-law, M. -itlessine bought Iwo tickets,
agreeing to share what either won. Cen-
ter was at work at his trade when the
news that he was the winner was
brought to him. Work was immediately
suspended, and Gepler was carried
shoulder -high around the factory amid
a stortn of cheering and singing which
almost raised the roof. It is interesting
to nolo that, within an hour of receiv-
ing the pod news; he was inundated

erne, was employed in the canteen of the
28th Dragoons. Hours before the time
of opening the bank of Ille Credit Fon-
