ANistill KILBURN.
BY WIIIIAM DEAN HOWELLS.
I•
After the death of Judge Kilburn his
daughter came back to Amerma. They had
been eleven winters in Rome, alwaysmean-
ing to return, but, staying on from year to
year, m people, do Who have nothing definite
to calitthem home. Towards the last glidiss
Kilburn taeitly gave up the expectation of
getting her father away, though they both,
continued to say that they were going to.
take pssmse as soon as the weather was
settled in.the spring. At the date they had
talked of for sidling he was lying in the
Protestant cemetery, and she was trying to
gather herself together, and adjust her life
to his lose. This would have been easier
with a younger person, for she had been her
father's pet so long, and then had taken
eare of his heIpleraness with a devotion
which was finally acemotherlyr that it was
like losing at one a giarent, and a child when
he died, and she reMained with the habit of
giving herself when them was mo -longer
any one to receive the. self:sacrifice. He
had married late, and in her thirty-first
year he was eighty-three ; but the disparity
of their ages, increasing toward the end
through his infirmities, had not loosened for
her the ties of custom and affection that
bound them :he had seen him grow more
and more fitfully cognizant of what they
had been to eh other since her mother's
death, while he grew the more tender and
fond with nim. ePeople who came to con-
dole with her seemed not to understand
this, or else they thought it would help her
to bear up if they treated her bereavement
as a relief from -hopelese anxiety. They
were all surprised when she told them she
still meant to go home.
"Why, my dear," said cne old lady, who
had been away from America twenty years,
"this is home ! You've lived in this apart-
ment longer now than the oldest inhabitant
has lived in niost American towns. What
are you talking aboat ? Do you mean that
you are going back to Washington ?"
e" Oh, go. We were merely staying on in
Washington from force of habit, after father
gave up practice. I think we shall go back
to the old homestead, where we've always
spent our summers, ever since I can remem
ber."
"And where is that ?" the old lady ask-
ed, with the sharpness which people be-
lieve must somehow be good for a broken
spirit.
"It's in the interior of Massachusetts—
you wouldn't know it; a place called Hat-
boro'."
"No, I certainly shouldn't," said the
lady, with superiority. "Why Hatboro',
of all the ridiculous reasons ?"
It was one of the first places where
they began to make straw hats • it was et
nickname at first, and then they adopted it.
The old name was Dorchester Farms.
Father fought the change, but it was of no
use ; the people wouldn't have it Farms
after the place began to grow ; and by that
time they had got used to Hatboro'. Be,
sides, I don't see how its any worse than
Hatfield, in England."
'Its very American."
"Oh, its Americate We have Roxboro'
too, you know, in Massachusetts."
"And you are going from Rome to Hat-
boro', Mass.," said the old lady, trying to
present the idea in the strongest light by
abbreviating the name of the State.
le` Yes," mid Miss Kilburn. " It will be
a change, but not so much of a change as
you would think: I was always very
happy there, and—it was my father's wish
to go back."
" Ah, my dear !" cried the old
"You're letting that weigh with you, I see.
Don't do it ! 11 it wasn't wise, don't you
suppose that the last thing he could wish
you to do would be to Sacrifice Yourself to a
sick whim his ?"
Many times after the preparations began,
add many times after they were ended,Miss
Kilburn faltered in doubt of her decision;
and if there had been any will stronger than
her own to oppose it, she might have revers-
ed it, and staid in Rome. All the way
home there was a :strain of misgiving in her
satisfaction it doing what she believed to
be for the best, and the first sight of her
native land gave her a shock of emotion
which was not unmixed joy. She felt for-
lorn aniong people who were coming home
with all 'sorts of high expectations, while
she only had high intentions.
These dated back a good many years; itt
fact, they dated back to the time when the.
first flush of her unthinking girlhood was
over, and she began to question herself as
to the life she was living. It was a very
-pleasant life, ostensibly. Her father had
been elected from the bench to Congress,
and had kept his title and his repute as a
lawyer through severe' terms in the House
before he settled down to the practice of
his profession in the eourts at Washington,
where he made a good deal of money. They
passed from boarding to house -keeping, in
the easy Washington way, after the imper-
manent Congreafiional years, and divided
their time between a comfortable little
place in Nevada Circle and the old home-
steed'in Hatboro'. He was fond of Wash-
ington, and robustly content with the
woild as he found it there and elsewhere.
If his daughter's compunctions came to her
through him, it must have been from some
remoter ancestry ; he was not apparently

The kindness and interest ea -pressed in
the words touched Annie Kilburn. She
had a certain beauty of feature; she was
nearsighted ; but her eyes were brown and
soft, her lips red and full; her dark hair
grew low; and played in little wisps and
rings on her temples, where her complexion
was clearest; the bold contour of her face,
with its decided chin and the rather large
solient nose, was like her father's g it was
this,probably, that gave an impression of
strength, with a wistful qualification. ° She
was at that time rather thin, and it could
have been seen that 'she would be handsomer
when her frame had rounded out in fulfil-
ment of its generous design. She opened
her lips to speak, but shut them again in an
effort at self-control before she said
",But,I really wish to do it. And this
momeut I would rather be in Hatboro' than
in Rome."
"Oh, very well," said the old lady,
gathering b.erself up as one does from throw-
ing away one's sympathy upon an unworthy
object; "11 you really wish it—"
"1 know that it must seem preposterous
and—and almost ungrateful that I should
think of going back, when I might just as
well stay. Why, I've a great many more
friends here than I have there ; I suppose I
shall be almost a stranger when I get there,
and there's no comparison in 4mpathy and
congeniality ; and yet I feel that I must so
-back. I can't tell you why. But I have a
longing; I feel that I must try to be of
some use in the world—try to do some good
—and in Hatboro' I think I shall know
how.' She put on her glasses, and looked
at the Old lady as if she might attempt an
explanation, but, as if a clearer vision
of the veteran worldling discouraged her,
she did not make the effort. • '
"Oh !' said the old lady. "If you want
to be of use, and do good—" She stopped,
as if then there were no more to be said by
a sensible person. "And shall you be going
soon ?" she asked. The - idea seemed to
suggest her own departure, and she rose
after speaking.
"Just as soon as possible," answered
Miss Kilburn. Words take on a color of
something more than their explicit meaning
from the mood in which they are spoken :
Miss Kilburn had a sense of hurrying her
visitor avViin, and the old lady had a sense
of being turned out-of-doors, that the pre-
parations for the homeward voyage might
begin instantly.

Mrs. Rebecca P. Gardner, of Grafton, York Co,
Va., writes; '1 was so sick with dyspepsia that I
could not eat anything for over four months. I
had to starve myself, as nothing would stay on my
stomach. I was so badly off I could not eat even a
cracker. I thought I was going to die. I weighed
only 8o pounds. I tried almost everything,
,and nothing did me any good, until I took two
.bottles of the 'Golden Medical Discovery.' I am

probably she derived them from her mother,
who died when she was a little girl, and of
whom she had no recollection. Till he be-
gan to break, after they went abroad, he
had his own way in everything ; but as men
grow old or infietn they fall into subjection
to their women -kind ; their rude wills yield
in the suppler insistence of the feminine
purpose-; they take the color of the femin-
ine moods and emotions '• -the cycle of life
completes itself where it began, in helpless
dependence upon the sex; and Rufus ,Kil-
burn did not escape the common lot. He
was often complaining and unlovely, as aged
and ailing men must be; perhaps he was
usually so ; but he had moments when he
recognized the beauty ot his daughter's
aspiration with a spiritualsympathy, which
showed that he must always have had an
intellectual perception of it. He expressed
with rhetorical largeness and looseness the
longing which was not very definite in her
own heart, and mingled with it a strain of
of homesickness poignantly simple and
direct for the places, the scenes, the per-
sons, the things, of his early days. As he
failed more and more, his homesickness was
for natural aspects which had wholly ceased
to exist through modern changes and im,
provements, and for people long since dead,
whom he could find only in an illusion of
that environment in some other world. In
the pathos of this situation it was easy for
his daughter to keep him ignorant of the
passionategebellion against her own ideals
in which he sometimes surprised herself.
When he died, all counter -currents were
lost in the tidal revulsion of feeling which
swept her to the fulfilment of what she
hoped was deepest and strongest in her
nature, with shame for what she hoped was
shallowest, till that moment of repulsion in
which she saw the thickly roofed. and many -
towered hills of Boston grow up out of the
western waves.
She had always regarded her soul as the
battle -field of two opposite principles, the
good and the bad, the high and the low.
God made her, she thought, and He alone;
He made everything that she was; but she
would not have said that He made the evil
in her. Yet her belief did not admit the
existence of Creative Evil ; and so she said
to herself that she herself was that evil, and
she must struggle against herself ;
she must question whatever she strongly
,wished because she strongly wished it.
It was not logical ; she did not push her
postulates to their obvious conclusions ;
there was apt to be the same kind of break
between her reasons and her conclusions.
She acted impulsively, and from a force
which she could not analyze. She indulged
reveries so vivid that they seemed to weak-
en and exhaust her for the grapple with
realities ; the recollection of them abashed
her in the presence of facts.
With all this, it must not be supposed
that she was morbidly introspective, that
her life had been ascetic. It had been ap-
parently a life of cheerful acquiescence in
worldly conditions '• it had been, in some
measure, a life 6f fashion, or at least of
society. It had not been without the inter-
ests of other girls' lives, by any means ; she
had sometimes had fancies, flirtations, but
she did not t hink she had been really in
love, and she had refused some offers of
marriage for that reason.
III.
The industry of making straw hats began
at Hatboro', as many other industries have
begun in New England, with no great local
advantages, but simply because its
founder happened to live there, and
to believe that it would pay,
There was a railroad, and labor of
the sort he wanted was cheap and abundant
in the village and the .outlying farms. In
time the work came to be done more and
more by machinery, and to be gathered into
large shops. The bnildings :increased in
size and number ; the single line of the rail -
'road was multiplied into four, . and in the
region of the tracks several large, ugly,
windowy wooden bulks grew up for shoe
shops ; a stocking factory followed; yet
this business activity did not warp the old
village from its pictuasqueness or quiet.
The railroad tracks crossed its main street;
but the shops were all on one side of them,
with the work -people's cottages and board-.
ing-houses, and on the other were the
simple, square, roomy old houses'with
their white paint and their green blinds,
varied by the modern color and carpentry
of French -roofed villas. The old houses
stood quite close to the stieet, with a strip
of narrow door -yard before them ; the new
mansions affected a certain depth of lawn,
over which their owners personally pushed
a clucking hand -mower every summer after
,
tea. he fences had been taken away from
the ne houses, -in the taste of some of the
Bostonsuburbs; they generally, remained
before the old ones, whose inmate e resented
the ragged effect that their absence gave
the street. The irregularity hit ; hitherto
been of an orderly and harmonious kind, -
such as naturally follows the growth of a
country road into it village throughtare.
The dwellings were placed nearer or farther
from the sidewalk as their builders fancied,
and the elms that met in a low arch (above
the street had an illusive symetry in the
perspective ; they were really set at uneven
intervals, and in it line that wavered ca-
pfeiously ia and out. The street itself
lo e
1/41
d and curved along, widening and
eon cting like a river, and then suddenly
lost itself over the brow of an upland Which
formed a natural boundary of the village.
Beyond this was South Hatboro', a group of
cottages built by city people who had lately
come in—idlers and iiivalidie the fernier for
the cool aumnaers, and the latter, for the
dry winter. At chance intervals in the old
village new side streets branched from the
throughfare to the right and the [ left„, and
here and there a Queen Ann cottage showed
its chimneys and gables on them. The
roadway under the:,,elms that kept it dark
and cool with 'their hoveringshade, and
swept the wagotetops with their pendulous
boughs at places,- was unpaved ; but the
sidewalks were asphalted to the last dwell-
ing - in everydirection, and they were
promptly broken out in winter It the pub-
lic snowplough.
Miss Kilburn saw them in the spring,
when their usefulness kwas least apparent,
and she did not know Whether to praise the
spirit of progress which showed itself in
them as well as in other things at Hatboro'.
She had come prepared to have misgivings,
but she had promised herself to be, just ;
she thought she could bear the old ugliness,if
not the new. Some of the new thing, how-
ever, were not so ugly ; the youlig station-
master was handsomer in his railroad uni-
form, and pleasanter to the eye than the
veteran baggage -master, incongruous in hie
stiff silk cep and his shirt alcove's and
spectacles. The station itself, one of Rich-
ardson's, massive and low, withred-tiled,
spreading veranda roofs, impre'ssed her
with its fitness, and strengthened her for
encounter with the business. architecture of
Hatboro', which was of the florid,' ambitious
New York type, prevalent with every
American town in the early stages of ita
prosperity. The buildings were of pink
brick, faced,with granite, and supported in
the first story by columns of painted iron;
flat -roofed blocks looked down over the
low wooden structures of earlier Hatboro',
and a large hotel had piashad back the old-
time tavern, and planted itself flush upon
. the sidewalk. But the stOres seemed very
good, as she glanced at them from her car-
riage;and their shop -windows were taste-
fully arranged ;. the apothecary's had an
interior of glittering neatness unsurpassed
by an Italian apothecary's ; and the peovis-
ion•man's, besides its symmetrical array of
pendent sides and quarters indoors, had
banks of fruit and vegetables without, and,
a large aquarium with a spraying fountain
in its window.
Bolton, the farmer who had always taken
care of the Kilburn place, came to meet her
at the station and drive her home. _Miss
Kilburn had bidden him drive slowly, so
Shat she could toke in all the changes, and
she noticed the new town -hall, with which
she could find rid fault; the Baptist and
Methodist churches were the same as of old;
the Unitarian church seemed to have
shrunk, as if the architecture had sympath-
ized with its dwindling body of worshippers;
just beyond it was the village green, with
She soldiers' monument, and the tall white -
painted flag -pole, and the four small braes
cannon threatening the points of the com-
pass at its base.
"Stop a moment, Mr. Bolton," said Miss
Kilburn ; and she put her head quite out of
the carriage, and stared at the figure on
the monument.
It *as strange that the first misgiving
she- could really make sure of concerning
Hatboro' should relate to this figore, which
she herself was mainly responsible for
placing there. When the money was sub-
scribed and voted for the statue, the com-
mittee wrote out to her at Rome as one
who would naturally feel an interest in get-
tihg something fit and economical for them.
She accepted the trust with zeal and pleas-
ure ; but she overruled their simple notion
of an American volunteer at rest, with his
hands folded on the muzzle of his gun, as
intolerably hackneyed and commonplace.
Her conscience, she said, would not let her
add another recruit to the regiment of stone
soldiers standing about in that posture on
She tops of pedestals all over the country, ;
andso, instead of going to an Italian statu-
tory with her fellow -townsmen's letter, and
getting him to make the figure they Want-
ed, she doubled the money and gave the
commision to a young girl from :Kansas,
who had come out to develop et Rome the
genius recognized at Topeka.. They decided
together that it would be best to have some-
thing ideal, and the sculptor promptly
imagined and rapidly executed a design for
a winged Victory, poising on the summit of
a white marble shaft, and clasping its
hands under its chin, in expression of the
grief that mingled with the popular exulta-
tion. Miss Kilburn had her doubts while
the work went on, but she silenced them
with the theory that when the figure was
in position it would be all right.
Now that she saw it in position she wish-
ed to ask Mr. Bolton what was thought of
it, but she could not- nerve herself to the
question. He remained silent, and she felt
that he was sorry for her. "Oh, may I be
very humble ; may I be helped to be very
humble !" she prayed under her breath. It
seemed as if she could not take her eyes
from the figure ; it Was such it modern, such
an American shape, so youthfully inade-
quate, so simple, so.sophisticated, so like a
young lady in society indecorously exposed
for a tableau vivant. She wondered if the
people in Hatboro' felt all this about -it ; if
they realized how its' involuntary frivolity
insulted the solemn memory of the slain.
"Drive on, please," she said, gently.
Bolton pulled the reins, and as the horses
started he pointed with his whip to a church
at the other side of the green. "That's
the new Orthodox church,' he explained.
" Oh, is it?" asked Miss Kilburn. "Its
very handsome, I'm eure."- She was not
sensible of admiring the large Romanesque
pile very much, though it was certainly not
bad, but she remembered that Bolton was a
member of the Orthodox church, and she
was grateful to him for not saying any-
thing about the soldiers' monument.
"We sold the old buildin' to the Cath-
olics, and they moved it down ont' the side
street."
Miss Kilburn caught the glimmer of a
cross where he beckoned, through the flut-
ter of the foliage.
"They had to razee the steeple tiome to
git their cross on," he added ; and then he
showed her the high school building as they
passed, and the Episcopid chapel of blame-
less church -warden's Gothic, half hidden by
its Japanese ivy, under a branching elm, on
another side street.

DEAR SIRs,—I take the liberty of writing to
you regarding my experience with Do. CHASE'S
KIDNEY -LIVER PILLS, and the wonderful cure of
dyspe,psia of x8years' standing effected by them
with three boxes. I am as well as I ever was,
and am a man of 64 years of age. I have re-
commended DIT.CHASEIS KINNEY-LIVER PILLS to
a great number of people and they all say they
are worth their weight in gold. If you desire
any further statement or certificate of my case,
I will be pleased to furnish one.
Yours truly,
- W. W. HODGES,
Holland Landing, Ont.

" Yes," she said, "that was built befor
we went abroad."
I dieremember " he said, absently... He
let the horses walk on the soft, darkly
shaded road, where the wheels made .a
pleasant grinding sound, and set himself
sidewise on his front seat, so as to talk to
Muss Kilburn more at his ease.
"1 d' know," he began, after clearing his
throat, with a conscious air, 4,f as you know
we'd got it new minister to our church."
"Io, I hadn't heard of it," said Miss
Kilburn, with her mind full of the monu-
ment still. " But I might have Leard and
forgotten it," she added. "1 was very
much taken up toward the last before I left
Rome:"
" Well, come to think," said Bolton; "1
don't know's you'd had time to heard. He ,
hain't been here a great while." -
"Is he—satisfactory ?" asked Miss Kil-
burn, feeling how far from satisfactory
the Victory ware and formulating an ex-
planatory apology to the committee in her
mind.
"Oh yes,
he's so.tisfactory enough, as far
forth as that goes. He's talented, and he's
right up with the times. Yes, he's pro-
gressive. I guess they got pretty tired. of
Mr. Rogers, even before'he died ; and they
kept the supply a goin' till—all was blue,
before they could settle on anybody. In
fact they couldn't seem to agree on anybody
till Mr. Peck come."
Miss Kilburn had got as far, in her tacit
interview with the committee, as to have
offered to replace at her own expenee the
Victory with a Volunteer, and she seemed
to be listening to Bolton with rapt atten-
tion.
" Well, its like this," continued the
farmer. "He's progressive in his idees 'n'
at the: same time he's spiritual -minded ;
and BO I guess he suits pretty well all
round. Of course you can't suit everybody.
There's always got to be a dog in the man-
ger, it don't matter where you go. But if
anybody was to ask me, I should say M;.
Peck suited, Yes, I don't know but wh 't
I should."
Miss Kilburn instaneously closed her
transaction with the committee, removed
the Victory, and had the VOlunteer unveil-
ed with appropriate ceremonies opened
with prayer by the Rev. Mr. Peck.
"Peck 9" she said. "Did you tell me
his name was Peck 9"
"Yes, ma'am; Rev. Julius W. Peck.
He's from down Penobscotport way,' in
Maine. I guess he's all right.
Miss Kilburn did not reply. Her mind
had been taken off the monument for the
moment by her dislike for the name of the
new minister, and the Victory had seized
the opportunity to get back.

Ode to:Victoria.
Written by Miss H. I. Graham, of Esmond-
ville, on the occasion of the Queen'a
Jubilee : •
Queen of a realm whose sun ne'er sets,
Proud mistress of the see,
We meet with joy to celebrate
These three-ecore yeare with thee !
So crowned with blessings manifold,
Peace and prosperity.
Let thistle, shamrock, rose entwine
Tny brow most noble Queen,
The lordly maple bring to thee
A star of living green ;
Tl t brightest jewel in thy crown,
The fairest gem I wean.
True type of highest womanhood,
Thy subjects find in thee
A tender, sympathetic heart
That listens to their pies;
For thou hest wept as others weep.
Mid pomp and pageantry.
The nations of the world admire
Thy powers and thy might ;
Dark Etheopia turas to thee
For liberty and light,
And under thy benignant sway
The scales fall from her sight.
Great sovereigns bring their offerings
From many distant zones,
Choosing thy royal family
To sit upon their thrones,
For every clime and hemisphere
The British sceptre owns.
Afar the dusky pilgrim cornea
To worship at thy shrine,
And India's countless treaeures flow
From out her secret mine ;
The forces of both land and sea
To honor thee combine.
Thy reign hath, like the diamond,
Been lustrous and bright,
As over all the earth it pours
A flood of holy lied •
For etrt and scienee flourishing
Have chased away the night.,
And, in the land of liberty,
Thy will hath well decreed'
Thit men shall meet and worship Gad
According to their need;
Dwelling in peace and unity
Though differing in creed.
Oh 1 may this anniversary
Be foretaste, -pure and sweet,
Of that glut time when thou shalt lay
Thy trophies 51 111. feet,
And, crowned with royal diadem,
In glory take thy seat.
And, as the ehades of evening fall ,
Around the glorious day,
We bless the Hand that guided thee
On thy triumphant way;
And pray God save our gracious Queen,
From henceforth and for aye.
H. Iseese GRAHAM.
