" Now, father, you jest lift this drawer out, so's to make sure it aint slipped down behind. Sometimes things will." Abel Lewton lifted out the top .drawer of the eecretary. Then he and his wife peered anxiously' into ehe narrow spece be. hind it. "It aint there," said Mrs, Lawton. She turned away, and 'slipped her spectacles up over her anxious forehead. "There aint any use lookin' any farther, as I on see." Abel slid the drawer in again, adjusting it with some difficulty. Then he sat down in a chair near the stove, and atretched his feet out en the hearth. His wife stood looking at him. She was a tall, pale women, and her face was distort- ed with perplexity. "What are you goin' to doabout it, fath- er ?" said she. " You cant lose that ten dol- lars, anyhow." "I know one thing," returned Abel. I never took that money out of the house, and I put it right in the southeastecorner of that top secretary drawer." "You know- you're dreadful forgitful, father." "1 5on't know as I'm any more forgitful than other folks. I know where I put that money, and I know I aint touched it tinoe. • " You're sure you aint put, it anywhere else?" Abel shook his head with an Obstinate air. "Well, we've looked everywhere in the house that I can think of.' said Mrs. Law- ton. "We've looked in all your pockets, and I've emptied all the secretary and bureau drawers. I can't think of any other place to hunt, unless it's-" She etoeptd, aud Ole and Abel looked at each other. "1 ale got any such idea as that," said Abe), Well, I aint, either, but we don't know anything about her, and she came from a low-down family. I aint seen a thing out of the way in her since she came here, and I've got, to thinkin' a good deal of her myself,but you cant alsveys tell by appearances; and that secretary drawer was unlocked and dreadful handy." ' "1 never see a nicer appea.rin' girl,", said Abel, "and- she's took right hold and helped you ever since Aunt Ithedy went away." "1 don't know what I should have done without her," returned his wife, "and she's been to meetin' and Sunday sohool,and her clothes are fixed up 80 she looks as nice as any of, the girlie,1 cant believe it. But where's that money gone to ?" " It aleft gone without hands," said Abel, gloomily. 1 '1 Course it aint, father. I think we ought to look in her thine. " Mebbe we had.r "1 don't see no other way. You can't lose that ten dollar. I'll sent her down to the store to get some narrates, and then we'llilook." 1 Mrs. Lawton opened the door. "Johan- na 1" she called. "Yes, ma'am," came in response from somewhere in te upper part of the house. "Come down here. I want to see you about something." • " Yes, ma'am," Mrs. Lawton closed the door and waited. " I hate to do it, awfully," she said, in a trembling voice. Presently there were quick steps on the stairs, and Johanna came in and stood looke ing inquiringly at Mrs. Lawton. She Was a slight young girl, and stooped a little. "I want you to put on your coat and hat, and go down to the store and get half a pound of sal 'lettere" Said Mrs. Lewton, in a dry voice. She packed up some dishes on the kitchen table, and avoided looking at Johanna. Abel bent over the stove, with his hded on his hands. "Yet, ma'am," replied Johanna. She got her hood and shawl out of the entry, and put them on, Then she stood waiting. " What you waitiu' fer ?" asked Mrs, Lawton. "The money." Mrs, Lawton started. "You can tell Mr.\ Pierce I'll be in aud pay for it," Abel spoke up, in a gruff voice. Johanna looked at him as if she were startled. "Yes, sir," she said, and went Cut at Once. Mrs. Lawton set a dish down on the table with a thud. "Come, - father," said she. "I want to go right up, and have it over with before she comes back. It won't take her long." Abel got up reluctantly. "1 call it pretty piece of business 1" he grunted. "So do 1, It's the first time I ever sus- pected anybody in my house of stealin', an' I don't really now. I don't imagine we shall find a thing, but I'm goin' to be sure." The old man followed his wife up the un- carpeted stairs, which creaked at his every step. Mrs. Lawton opened the door of a chamber near the head of the stairs. It was a pleasant south roonewith comfortable old-fashioned furniture, "1 don't imagine we shall find a thing,' Mrs. Lawtonsaid again. She went to the bulky mahogany bureau, and epened the top drawer. Abel peered over her • shoulder. The drawer containedelome neatly folded little girlish ribbons and neck-ruffies. , "- "1 gave her some of theee things Mary had," Mrs. Lawton whispered. "1 thought they might as well do somebody some good," She turned over the ribbons tenderly. "There ain't anything here," she said, in a tearful voice. . She opened the next drawer, and turned over the contents; then the next and next. I E There aint any money here," said she, finally. 11 The poor -child keeps her drawer packed up_ reel nice," Abel went to the fire -place, and opened a little old-fashioned closet higb up in the chimney -side. • "1 wouldn't rummage that all over," said Mrs. Lawton, "There ain't any use. We sha'n't find it, and I'm glad of it. I'd rath- er lose a hundred dollars than find it here." Suddenly Abel turned. "Look here, mother !" he said, in a solemn voice. He held out a bank note toward her. " Father 1 It,aint " Yes, 'tis." "Where'd you find it ?" "In the eouthwest corner of the, top shelf -under the towel." "Oh, dear me 1" gasped Mrs. Lawton. She took the'note from.her husband's hand and examined it; then she looked up at the top shelf of the closet. There, on a neatly - folded towel, lay a girl's hat, trimmedwith blue velvet and a Wee feather, "Teere's her best hat," said Niro. Law- ton, 11 that I had Miss Store fix up for• her, a4id she's kept it jeet as nice there. Aunt lRhody had that towel there, and it was all away out �f the' dust.

Abel was oingheavily and quickly down. " Fathe !" Mrs. Lewton called after him. He did no reply, and she followed.

She called after hine at all the doors, but got no re- sponse. 1 , " Just lilte,a man, leavill' everything that takes a little spunk to a woman 1 said she. She turned to the table, and was knead- ing somabread when Johanna entered. She did not turn her head. Johanna came to the table land laid 1 down the package of saleratus ; Ibut Mrs. Lawton did not act as if she knew the girl hed come in. _ Johanna itook off bee heed and shawl, and hung there up in the entry. Her heart beat loudly; she felt frightened without know- ing why. , When she eame back she stood warming her cold, thin little hands at the etovel 04i4 pelting timid glances at Mrs. Lawton's back. I Suddenly Mrs. Lawton turned. "Johan- na," said she, in a solemn, strained voice, "I've got something, to say to you, and I may as well say it 'an' have it over with.

"1 didn't, I didn't! 0 Mis' Lawton, I didn't 1" Johanna was an excitable girl. She wrung her }ands and trembled violently. Mrs. Lawton, too, began to weep.

Mrie Lawton sobbed outright, and they went down stairs. In the middle of the night, Mies. Lawton crept to the foot of the stairs. She had heard Johanna's voice, and weakened. Johanna seemed to be praying. "0 Lord," she was saying, " don't let me tell 'em that I did it -don't let me tell 1" Mrs, Lewton went back to bed bewil- dered. In the worming she got breakfast all ready before she went up to Johanna's room. When she opened the door, the girl sat ,on the bed looking at her. She had not un- dressed all night. Her girlish face looked lee years older. "L didn't 1" said she. " I didn't take it, Mis' Lawton 1" There was a certain piteous defiance in her manner, Mrs. Lawton lookedseverer than she had ever done, "Well," said she, "you ootne down Oahe and eat your breakfast, an' I'll get father te h arness. Johanna obeyed. She went' down stairs and ate the breakfast that Mrs. Lawton bade her eat. She did not ory any more. There waa a miserable resolution in her face. • After breakfast Abel went out to harness the horse and Mrs. Lawton packed up Jo- hanna's little possessions. She hesitated over Mary's little ribbons and ruffles, but finally she put then into the old valise. Johanna waited down in the kitchen. She uuderstood that Mrs. Lawton would not trust her to pack the valise, for fear she should put in some stolen property. Abel had put the horse in the light wag- on, and tied him to the post at the gate. Then he had gone to the store; he had re- solved that he would not carry Johanna back to the almshouse. Mrs. Lawton had to go herself. She shoved the valice in at the back of the weg- oo, and at beside Johanna on the seat and drove. There was a motherly-oseverity about her broad sholder8 • in the cashmere shawl. She was becoming hardened by Jo- hanna's defiance. The almshouse was half a mile distant. Neither spoke a wurd all the way. When they reached the place Mrs; Lawton left Jo - henna in the wagon a few minutes while ehe spoke to the overseer's wife. Then ehe told her to get out, gave her the valise, and bade her good-bye. . „ Her voice trembled, and tears stood in her eyes. "1! ever you make up your mind to own up how wicked you've been, you must let me know, Johanna," said she; father an' I have always meant well by you." Mrs. Lawton drove off, and Johanna tug- ged her valise miserably into the almshouse. Mrs. Brown, the overseer's wife, stood in .the doorway. "Well, I must say, you aint showed much sense," said she. "1 should have • thought you'd known whioh side your bread was buttered,better'n to have stole that mon- ey,'" "I didn't 1" • "Now, Johanna, there &int no need of • you're talkin' that kind of talk. You know you stole it, an' you'd ought to go to jail. Now you go an put on that old dress you left here, and clean:the potatoes for dinner. You'll find out if you've come beak here, that you've got to work." Mre. 13rown was herself overworked and irascible. Johanna, putting herself into her poor old discarded dress, knew well enough what was before her. Her past seemed stretching beyond her into the future. - She was fifteen now, and the almshouse -had been her home, with the exception of 'the last six -Months at the Lawson's, ever since she was ten. She had come there after her mother's death. Johanna was so delicate that none of the farmers' wives wanted her merely for the sake of the work she could do, now that the Lawton's, who had taken her because they away. werelonelywithout Mary, had turned her There were about twenty paupers beside herself, most of them old people, some of them idiotic with age and want. Nobody was glad to see her save one old womareand she did not believe her innocent,but pleaded with her daily to confess and return. "You're a dreadful silly gal,if you don't," said she. The overseer was surly, and much rough- er with her than his wife, Both of them kept her constantly at work. She grew thin, and stooped more. The.old woman told her she would go into a decline if she staid there, She found: the , life harder than ever before. • She had been in the ialmshouse three weeks, when Abel Leivtbe came and begged her again to confess. "I'll take you right home with me," intid he; "mother's got supper all ready." But Johanna would not confess. The overseer's wife was very hard upon her after Abel had gone. "You don't work enough to earn your salt," said she, " an' I don't want a thief in the house, for my part. I've got things I think a good deal nf, as well as the Lawtons." It was four weeks after that, when Mrs: Lawton came with Abel. Johanna, washing dishes at the kitchen-sink,heard their voices out in the yard, talking to the overseer, Then Mrs. Lawton came in hastily. Though not a 'demonstrative woman, she caught Jo- hanna, and hugged and kissed her. "Oh, you poor child !" she panted. "You poor child' ! Go an' get your things on, an' pack your bag, an' come right home with me.'.' She turned to Mrs. Brown, who, with two or three old paupers, was listening open-mouthed. "Johanna didn't take that money," she went on. "Aunt Bluely, she come yesterday. Abner drove her over from Stoughton; an' first thing she did was to go straight to that chimney cupboard in Johanna's chamber, after a ten -dollar bill she'd hid away there in the corner of the top shelf under -the towel. And she made an awful to-do when she found out 'twee gone. "Father an' I never, _thought of Aunt Rhody's havin' ten dollars anyhow; but John give it to her three years ago, she said, an' she'd kep it, an' never let on she had it. She didn't want to take it to Abner's, be - cowls they'd had burglare,sta she hid it there. She didn't know 't I was pin' to have any- body else in that chamber. " Well, father an' me see then Johanna hadn't stole that ten dollars,but we couldn't tell any more where his that he'd saved up for the grain -bill had gone ; an' we puzzled over that all last night. But this moroine father he thought he'd go down to the store an' pay that bill, • • "He'd used that ten dollars he took from the cupboard for something elee after all, an' -there he'd paid it, an clean forgot it! He's dreadful forgitful, but I never knew him to do anything quite so bad as this be- fore. Than he come home, an' told of it, an' cried, he felt so bad, an' he paid that ten dollars back to Aunt Rhody. "Johanna, you'd better go and get ready poor child, for the horse don't like to steed very well, this cold weather." When Johanna was seated between Mr, and Mrs. Lawton, and riding sway from the almshouse, she cried, she was so happy. "Don't ory, poor child, its all over now," said Mrs. Lewton. But, her own voice shook. "I'm goin' to make over a pretty red dress, that I've got laid by, for you," "You sha'n't go away again, as long as there's a roof, over our own heads," said Abel, huskily. "Don't you worry, Johan- na. You were a real good girl not to tell a lie, an' say you -took that money, when you didn't.'' "It's jest what Mary would have done," said Mrs. Lawton. "1 never see such a truthful girl as she was. I don't believe you could have made her tell a lie. Johanna behaved jest the way Mary would," ININFIEsm.momminmaws Ni IS THE 0 POPULAR SUOTITUTE Fa LARD.

The famous boarding -school of Miss Cath- erine Beecher -sister of Harriet Beecher Stowe, who was her assistant principal - 110 exception. Miss Beecher was in ad- vance of her time in her belief in the im- portance of proper physical oars for girls; bet her ideas as to the kind of care which Was proper did not always meet the views of her pupil's. Moreover, while she was plan- ning new experiments in diet-, the cantrol of tlie table was sometimes left entirely to the housekeeper, whose administration was quite too economioal. A daughter of The Companion's founder, Nathaniel Willis, used to relate to her children many escapades of the hungry, un- derfed girls in search of feed. Once they employed a less violent method to improve their diet. The teachers used to sit together at one end of the long table at meal -times, and the girls observed that they were accorded an unfair advantage in hav- ing food set before them of better quality, though the same in kind as that of the pupils. The narrator of the story determined to set the matter right, and slipping into the dining -room just before the bell rang, she. Changed the dishes of butter at the two ends of the table. ,When the school aesembled for dinner, all eyes were turned stealthily upon Miss Beech- er; who presently helped herself to butter, 'Spread a bit of bread, and tasted it, She paused; tasted again; sniffed dubiously at the offending morsel; nibbled at its edge sniffed once more, and hid it down beside' her plate. Turning to the housekeeper, She re- marked : ," This butter is not the same as usuel, Mrs. A -There is something the matter with it." The daring pupil's opportunity had come. 'While her comrades held their breath in ex- pectation of coming wrath, she deliberately changed back the dishes, explaining quietly as she did so : " Oh no, Miss Beecher, it is just as usual ; only there has been a change in the dishes. We have yours and you have ours." After that the girls had nothing to com- plain of in regard to butter, and indeed there was a general improvement, for Miss Beecher had not been aware Of the unfair discrimination, and did not permit it to continue. But she really did not appreciate the hearty appetites of growing girls, and be- lieved, like many others at that time, in light food and in lese than moderate eating. It was the period of slim waists' ssiff stays, and an admiration for women ofthe delicate and ethereal type; when it was thought (sperm for a girl to eat heartily, or attach much importance to food. 13ut at length ten of the hungriest and brightest scholars found a way to convince their excellent principal of her mistake in believing that the most digestible of graham rolls and hygienic dishes could properly nourish girls who were not allowed suffici- ent meat, and were discouraged from pass- ing their plates a second time for anything. They simply invited her to a dinner fur- nished by a caterer, from whom had been ordered a delieioas meal, and taught her by experience what pahtable food was, how harmless is could be, and how much they, and she, could eat of it. The lesson thus gracefully given by the ingenious ten was successful, and all the girls of Miss Beecher's-school dined the bet- ter' for it thereafter. • No Protection From Heat. Look again when July comes, and the sun is pouring down, and the laborer, .tripped alreiost to the skin, is delving or working, and dripping with perspiration. Watch him as he goes in front of that saloon; you will see him go in and take exactly the same beverage that he took last January to keep off the cold. You meet him at the door and ask him why he spends his money for such a purpose. From his very aspect you judge that his family are poor, endear° perhaps, needing the necessities of life. Ile will re- ply: "Oh ! I cannot steed this heat with- out something to protect me from it "-ex- actly reversing the case. It warmed him in january, and now it keeps him cool -the same delusion! "It protects him from the heat." The sun's rays permeate him as freely with the alcohol in his blood as it would without it, but he does not realize it; ond hence hundreds and hundreds year sfter year persist in this practice till ',per- haps sunstroke arrests them and sudden death follows. Leave the brain clear and free from the anesthetic effect of alcohol, and rthey well know when to get on the shady aide. I mention these points limply as iliustrations. Step by step the progress of scienoe has nullified every theory on which the physician administers alcohol. A Curious Fee. In an interview which took place before his death, and which is publ:shed in the Strand Magazine, Sir Morel' Mackenzie tells how be onoe received a curious fee. •An old man came to me," he said, " I examin- ed his throat, and at once saw it was in a terribly bad state, I asked him why he had not come to see me sooner. His reply amused me very much. You see, sir,' he said, '1 hadn't got a guinea. I always thought a physician wouldn't see anybody without a spade guinea, and at last I've got one. Here it is, and I thank you very much. Notice To Creditors. IN THE MATTER -OF HAISIAN HAPPLE, AN INSOLVENT DEBTOR. Notice le hereby given the!
