"Mr. Kerr says he knosfs you. You are an engraver. You wor ed on queer notes in Adrian. Thinks ie1y you've got some about you now." " Mr. Kerr is a liar !" said Mark, promptly.

It will b quiet, and you will be welcome." Mark accepted the invitation so sim- ply and kindly offered, and in a few minutes later he waS rumbling along in the farrner'e wagon, listening to an ac- count of the Regulators' roceedings from the first. "Why was McNiitt hung ?" queried - Mark, somewhere in the last ile of the narrative. Farmer Rumsey shook his opposed it, as I did that sear ead. "1 hing busi- ness this evening.

And I'm afraid it wil take an- other victim to sati fy their rage. A man was arrested y aterday or whose life I wouldn't give a farthing, the way things look now." "Of what is he accused ?" sked Fen- ton ; and Mr. Rumsey laid t e case be- fore him. "Three years ago our coun er's office was entered by t burelars and -robbed of seven dollars.

I'm afraid, however, he will not get off easily, for old ma Clarke has in that carefully worde description photographed him exec "That," said Mark, "is very likel the merest accident."

Mark seated himself in a %Sid -arme swinging rocker, tend yielded hi whol being to a sense of rest and omfort. _Lifting his eyes to a well-filled ookcas beside the chimney, he laughed a littl laugh of joy, he hardly knew a what.

Just try it ! You're tired to appreciate a luxurious divan, and. that's simply luxurious." Mark stretched himself obedie tly on the lounge, and attested to its perfec• tion by another low laugh of plea ure. Rumsey lit his pipe and unfold d his newspaper, but he did not read much. He wasiond of talking, and s this handsome young man evidently onsid- ered his talk interesting, he kept at it pretty steadily till. nine o'clock. Mark wanted to ask where Hannah w s that evening. Perhaps her father wo Id tell without being asked; and he did She was teaching school three from home. It wasn't necessary, was the reguler thing for a sma to do around there. It was he term—she was only nineteen. S -ally spent Sunday at home, but j therbridge over the long mars flooded, and the wagon could sent for her. After Fenton retired to his ro m he threw open the window—for t was mild as April—and sat looking •ut on the rugged, snowless winter, now all silver and dark bronze in the moonlight. Some one was whistling musically in the distance. A girl came up the road, picking her steps with a c reless, swinging pit. Could those clea notes proceed from her ? They surel did, for they came nearer, and stoppe• with her at the gate. A door was ope ed. be- low, and some one said: "Why, Hannah ! What has b ought you home at this hour ?" The gi I was plying the scraper with her stou little boots. "I looked for the wagon till dark. Then I heard about the bridge, and knew it wouldn't come, so I thought I'd walk home. Fancy my staying over Sunday at Scroggs's !" Then she was gathered in, an the door was shut. At breakfast next morning the time was principal( de- voted to lecturing Hanneh upon h r im- prudence in corning hothe alone after dark, with the country in its the ex- cited condition. ".1" did not think of any danger, 'said Hannah. "There are no bla klegs around now—that is, running 1 ose— and the Regulators are our neighbors. You are one yourself, father. Perhaps I ought not to have done it. I must cultivate being afraid at proper times; I never seem to think of it." Mark looked with interest at this fear- less girl, in whom the shrewd, loquac- ious farmer teok such hearty pride. In a community where the value of pure types was not recognized, and whe e the nearest approach to the contou and coloring of a wax doll was regard d as the highest beauty, Hannah R insey was pronounced. a homely girl. Sh had never been called pretty in her life. Her dark skin, large ripe mouth, and rough -looking black hair found fe ad- mirers ; but Fenton thought her eau- tiful. • miles but it t girl first ie usu- st now was ot be Sunday afternoon he eat in the north room with a book, which he seemed to be reading, while in reality he attended, at first listlessly, then with a sense of amusement, to the conversation between the elder Rumseys and their daughter. oth Hannah and her father were abun- antly endowed with humor, and their. alk was never dull. When the fat mer's fter-dinner pipe was finished, hei lay own for a nap on the lounge. With annah's bright face confronting 'him, ark found it impossible to be in rose nd silent. When the farmer eke, and his wife came in, there had been two hours of desultory yet agre able chat between these two young pe ple, who barely knew each other's name The next morning Hannah went back. to her school, and the next Friday even- ing she came home jubilant, for the tiresome, twelve -weeks' term was out, and she was free. -"Don't be noisy, dear," said Mrs. Ramsey. "Mr. Fenton's head is .very bad ta:day." Mr. Fenton's head ?" repeated the girl, vaguely. Then she remembered the book agent. "Yes; he is Inere yet. Your father took such a liking to him from the first. Leet Monday we advised hint to canvass thisneighborhood, and return to our house every night. But he hasn't seemed well, and this morning we kept him from going out at all." ., • The -week „following, Mark did no cauvaseing. A great physical languor was- upoo . him. His. face Was deathly pale, with dark shadows about the eyes. Mrs. Ramsey nursed and dosed him faithfully. One day he said to Han - nth: "1 oirght to get away, but your IpEniple seem to think Pin not able. Perhaps they are right. I've thought maybe I should die ono of these days— I'm .so desperately nervous, you see— and I've a fancy it would be rather .Snitable my doing it from this point. I have juat abbut money enough to bury me decently in a new country." " What nonsense !" said Hannah. ." The winter has been too mild to freeze out the malaria, and being a stranger, your system has absorbed a lot of it. But it would take a lot more, I assure you, to make dying possible in your case." The next afternoon he said to Han- nah, as they sat alone in the north room • "1 wish you or your good parents you'd kindly manifest a little curiosity about me. I can hardly bear to be to yea only—the book agent. . Hannah went to the windew to take up a stitch she had dropped in her knitting; when she resumed her Seat she said, . . "Let us make believe I have asked you who and what 'you are, and that you are willing to truly tell me." "Which will be no make believe at all," -said Mark, his blue -eyes softening to deep violet under their brown lashes. ." I was born in Vertnont. My mother died when I, her only child, was an in - fent ;my father died eight -years ago. He was a. minister, but was not dependent upon his clerical stipends. He lived in his Own house, and enjoyed a comfort- able property of his own. He had no brother's or sisters; he had, however. a step -brother. My grandfather married as his second Wife it widow with one son —Grant Bently by dente, He was about my father's age, hut being oppo- sites in disposition they grew up WWI - Out seeing !nisch of each other, and took to different ways of life, my father to the ministryi, 13ently to the slate and marble trade i I never saw the mat till the year my Ifather fell dangerous1 ill, when he suddenly appeared in the c -tar- acter of the sympathetic relative 1 was a boy of sixteen then, spending my surrimer vacation at home. We, our house -keeper and myself, with the help of a hired nurse, were perfectly able to give my father every care he required, but.Bently established hinseelf at the house, and proceeded to devote himself to the invalid with a brother's tireless devotion. From my first meeting with him I felt a strong dislike to the man. Once, when alone with my father, I expressed something of this. 1" You must get over that, my boy,' he said, with . a smile. ' Seusitive natures like - ourselves feel a natural repuguance to physical .deformity. I think this fact may account for your aversion to Mr. Bently. You must mak-e an effort to overcome it. He is a singiilarly worthy and unselfish man.' The deformity to which he alluded was p. cleft or hare lip, the unsightliness of ihich had been aggravated by a clumsy swurgical operation. "Bently remained at the house till y father died, late in the autumn. He ucceeded in gaiuing his entire confi- dence, and obtained unlimited control over his affairs. Iu the end I was foully wronged. When I graduated from col- lege et Middlebury, I was informed by Bentley, whom my father had before his death' made .sole trustee of his estate, Worth twenty thousand dollars, that the .lest cent of my patrimony had been ex- pended upon me, and that I must at once 'turn my wite and acquirements to ac- count for a living.' I ascertained that ate matters stood no legal redress was possible ; then, with what bitterness you may suppose, proceeded no follow my guardian's advice. The history of the last three years of my life may be Bummed up in the word discouragement. I event to the city and advertised ; there rfound I was not a unique character. Young men with classical educations eild no money or friends were rathet cdmmon. I tried teaching in the countrY on starvation vages. Then I worked for a market•gardener. I had frequent attacks of illness just when it was par- ticularly inconvenient and unlucky. Ap last I thought of the West. Of course to reach it I must adopt some foken of tramp life. I chose the book -1 agency form, and here I am." 1 Hannah suddenly dropped her knit- ting in her lap, and sat looking straight b fore her, with lips , compressed and bl ck brows bent in thought. She was fu 1 of little abrupt turns and changes of expression, in all of which Mark found he very agreeable to look upon. Turn- ing to him at length, she said, • ;` It hi very strange, but the man who will probably be hanged next Saturday foisrobbing the county treasury has gilen his name as Grant Bentley, and heihas a hare lip." In that season of hot excitement there were not wanting those who had the will and courage to oppose rash measures and counsel moderation; but their vo 1 ce was lost amid the general clamor. In the throng that filled the streets of Sudmore from day to day wero men whose early efforts in this hard new country had been sorely crinpled by the blacklegs. Their horses had been stolen, 1 their ahops and stores ransacked, and if in any case they had testified at the tri la of such as had been arrested, their ho see, barns, and hay -ricks were after- ward regularly burned. They had the whip -hand now, and they were sore and savage. The supposed safe robber was brought before various committees for examina- tio . To aH he gave the same aeconnt of nm.elf.'

One of the easiest *and commenist ways of frit- tering away money is in the purchase of soap. • Itis a big mistake to imagine that because an armful of Soap can be bought for 25c that the invest- ment is a good one: It is money wasted, because - cheap Soaps are rank in quality, ruinous to the hands and clothes, and last no length of time. How vastly different with "Sunlight Soap " though 25c.buys less in bulk, yet the value is there. It ooe,s further, saves labor, fuel, washing powder,the cohes and skin: can be used for every purpose in the . ]ioi4se,ancl will do whatno otherSoap can do.
