In, presenting:the following story to the public I wish distinctly to state thet,' thopgh broadly founded on fact, •,it is a story, not a history, so any one attempting to identify characters or Incidents Will f';nd himself entirely at l8ea. It has been written in the hope thatia someway or other it may prove Of Use to Temperance Workers and their efletse. It is respectfully offered ne a enggestion especially to the var- bt)us 'Temperance Orders. I cannot help thinking that these Orders could exercise a mighty influence for good if each lodge would recognize as its mis- sive not merely the keeping of its own members straight, but the winning to the Temperance side of the mass of young people in all the surrounding country, not by any means necessarily to he members of their Order, but each one to become a pledged, trained, ac- tive Temperance worker. With such a band of trained workers as every lodge represents, this could be done with, more rapidity than most people imagine; if some such plan as Tom Sutheriand's was adopted; and other s efficient methods would readily suggest themselves if .the work wee once heart- ily undertaken. If anyffriend of the cause anywhere finds in this story a tauggestion he thinks he can make use of, he is more than welcome to do so. ANNA Ross, Br ucefield, Dec. 28th, 1892. CHAPTER I. AWAKE AND AWAY Nellie Scott, was a soldier, though you would not have thought so to look at her, and this story tells something of her first campaign. Perhaps 1 should rather call her an officer, and a cavalry officer at that, for her special • aim was to get all het followers pro- perly mounted. Nellie was a young school-teacher—at mere girl—teaching in a white ft•aume school -house, which peered through a narrow strip of bush at the changing waters of one of our great lakes: On theist of Sept., three weeks ago, her term had begun and she had not yet fired one shot. That was not because she had "forgotten,"or was "too busy,' or "didn't feel like it,"but simply be- cause she was surveying her field and laying her plans anti providing herself with ammunition. This was Friday morning: ammuni- tion had arrived the eight before in the shape of two pretty blue -covered hooks that had come in by post from the Willard Depository, Toronto. One was a copy of John B. Gough's auto- biography; the other a volume of his puhlished lectures. "Children,'•' she said that morning after the opening exercises and before dismissing to classes, "if you remind ine, I shall read to you at four o'clock out of one of these booksa story about young tiger." a she par theca up in her own c+hind the desk, where the fresh blue covers showed brighter from con- trast with the well-worn school -books. There was one buy at the foot of the second class, whose eyes throughout that dreamy September day, turned often to the bright new books up on the teacher's .shelf. Toni ,Sutherland was by far the biggest•ehild in his class —a well -grown fellow of eleven—who . almost invariably graced its foot. One look into his frank, happy face was enough to convince a physiognomist that he was no dunce. His stupidity • arose' primarily from the fact that his mind had always beer' so happily busy with its own thinkings that A B C and combinations thereof had scarcely been able to make good an entrance. While the lesson was going on, Tom's mind was as like as not' absorbed with the hovetnents of a spider in the corner, or a fly on the window. or something comical going on among the "little chaps." or the memory of the calm waters, in which he had been fishing before scholl. He • was stnpid, not from lack of ideas, but from their sup erabundance. - Besides, till Nellie Scott's coming, he had suffered front dull teaching. , This new teacher was puzzled with. him. He was evidently' interested; but the had not vet succeeded in get- ting his interest down upon his lesson - book. Often she,.was conscious that his attention was taken up with her- self, and not tvitli the lesson at all. Nellie's self and Nellie's ways were an ever -fresh subject for cogitation with Master Tont, who was taking in with hila. sun -lit blue eyes wavy a precious bit of wisdom that a mere book -worm would have missed. But he' utade small progress with his lessons. In- deed, it. was his ,inborn conviction that he "couldn't learn." Father and mo- ther, brother and sisters, teacher and school -mates -•--all had entertained the same opinion, and the fir st thought of its being all a mistake never once en- tered into his mind. it remained for the blue -covered •books up un Nellie Scott's shelf to lead the supposed dunce to a marvellous discovery—yes, to inore than one of them. Nellie was not allowed t.o forget her promise of the morning, and she read them one of Gough's. thrilling) told stories about a young tiger suddenly roused by the taste of blood to act the part of a tiger and d,t•op that of a pet. Danger, presence of mind and pistols all figured prominently in the story and kept the interest well. Nothing was said to point any mor- al. When it was done she put, the book back :again saying: "Now that will do. If you wish it I shall read you another story out of my_ hook next Friday evening." When a week had passed away, Nellie wasromptl' reminded of her promise. In Tom's mind especially, the tiger, Nellie Scott and tits blue hooks had got into a curious mixture --- something quite delightful and out of the ordinary. Ile was wide awake for more. This time it was a simple Temper- ance story, graphic and touching, too plain to need explanation. Al the enol Nellie shut the bduk and said earnestly: "Now, children, 1 rams here air teack you more than mere school les- sons. One thing I want most to teach yon is thissekeep away from drink. keep away from. treating, keep away ft'oln the. bar -zooms. Don't take 1iger•f'or your pet, nor a whiskey -jug feit4oue friend. You will find scor•ch- iilrt fire in the one ,just as surely' as you miff find teeth and plows in the Other," ItWag a short ',t'ertaperanee speed!, 'tit wi t �bc' two atoril preceding, it • 'Wa'ti t tiderstCfna:. ltltlii'ritlditilfl'tt'as 1;cA .jt"(lfrl)11'+' ince speed; At all., hut, a little speech of another sort. "Before you go to -night," she said, "I want to. tell v ou that the last dray of school before (Christmas we ore going to bold apublic examination. ,Vat afternoon these two books will be giv- en as prizes one to the scholar most regular and punctum in attendanc, the other to the one who stands longest at a general spelling match." There was a murmur of interest. Where will you find school children whose eyes do not shine at mention of arize or a spelling match? Then another of Gough's beautiful stories followed, but it failed to catch Tom's attention this time. Another set of ideas were chasing each other through that busy brain. "Can I win one of these books? I must win one of these books, I just will, but 1 can't. But I will if I can; I can try. I can't spell; that's sure! 0 dear, that othev one! I know I never can come to school every day now I'm so big. There are the potatoes to take up, and chores and chores as the fall comes on. I know 1 never can get here every day. Then it will have to be the spelling! I wonder if 1 could spell. if I tried to!" Here Tom. though the story,}smves go- ing on, softly opened his lesson -Took to try the experiment; could he spell if he tried? It never sti uck Tom as odd that he had nevets t vied that experiment be- fore, but his mind was on it now—yes, fairly down on his book now, for the first time in his life. Roam, roam—he could- remember that—that was not hard. Gnaws, g n a w s—he wondered what that g was doing there, but it was nothard'to remember that it was there. He closed the book over his hand, and under his breath, spelled the two words he had just learned. ,They were no trouble in the world. Why, the page he had been looking at lay as distinct in his • mind's eye as if it was really there and he could read .the spelling off that memory page. Picture followed and then covered, with as much ease as the first two—then enough and though. Toni was amazed at himself. The spelling, in which he had failed that very afternoon, was now as distinctly€ engraver' on his memory as the path of the great crack fir the plastered ceiling above his head. When school was dismissed he (lid not linger with the rest of the scholars, he was tun busy for that . Ile had made a discovery as aunazirtg to him as if he hail found at sap -trough full of dl miter -dollars in the sugar -bush. Ile ashed off ahead of the rest into a heavy bit of hush jutting down upon the road side, away into its quiet dint- ness, and sat clown upon at fallen tree to his nets --found Lowers again. Ile turned to to -Morrow's lesson, little, birdie. finger, quickly, gladly. where - ever, !t was marvellous, but it rias true, t hat the whole lesson was mast- ered iu the course id twenty minutes, and Tom muse with a strange exultant feeling in his sou:. "Then. I'm not 0 dunce! It's all a mistake, 1 can learn and I will 1" Tom 'had never fretted Over his stupidity. But now. when he felt the Power within }tion. there was a serious- ness in his face mingled with the joy and hope and dignity of conscious power --a seriousness that brought that. boyish • countenance into kinship with some angel face in an old painting—in keeping too with the lifted hat and the upward gaze through the over -arching tree -tops to the cloud -flecked sky above. 'l'our's joy was too big to ling- er merely on earth. It took heart - wings if not word -wings with that up- ward glance. "I'm so glad. I'm not a dunce, and I will work for that book." Next day the whole school was elec- trified by Tow's rapidly mounting to the head of his class, where head never, according to the memory of the oldest inhabitant, once planted his feet before. Nellie eyed hire curiously all day. There was a complete change in the manner of the hitherto idle boy. His spelling Was evidently his chief concern, but awakening interest was perceptible iu his other classes too. That day in school neither Toru nor his teacher ever forgot. and that even- ing out of school was to be engraveu if possible deeper still on the boy's menror•y. Bm•irnrniug over with his new hopes and ambitions, he carne home th;t afternoon. Ashe entered the door his ruotheu.looked up and said, pointing to a stoner77ug standing • on the window- sill. "Tom, your father wants you to go to the, village and get that. filled. If you run right away you can get back before tea." How the light went out of Tom's face! Prompt, unquestioning obedi- ence was the law of that house. There W0'4 nothing to he done but to take tip the jug and do as he was bid. He. needs must go. But something whis- pered that he was now false to Nellie Scott. and her whole teaching, untrue to the new hopes and powers that b , found their way into his heart thr her, utterly unworthy to become pos- sessor of one ..f these magical blue books. He knew the way, and he knew the house, and the door, and the bar and the bar -keeper, for it was not the first• time he had been sent on this errand. but it was "worse than pulling teeth" to go there and ask to have that jug filled. It was only dire necessity push- ed him on to do it, and when he came nut it was with the conviction that he had done something wrong, something mean. He had sighed no pledge, had uttered no promise, but iu his heart of hearts he had ranged himself on Nellie Scott's side, on .1. B. Gough's side: and he came out of that bar room a con- victed recreant, to his newly adopted Temperance principles, and they at the white heat of enthusiasm. The sweat came out, in beads over his prow with the conflict going 011 inside. The jap, jap of the liquor in the jag, as he trugded sullenly homeward, was hateful to hint. After his ear once caught it he could not stop hearing it. All the drunken scenes he had ever witnessed—and he had seen several— acted themselves out, again before him, and sebrned to glory in their conuec- tion with that jap, jap inside his jug. A sudden resolve brought Tom to a halt. "I won't, take you home, f will not! so there!" The cork was out of the jug in a moment, the vessel to rned deliberate- ly slant -wise mouth downwards; and our hero with grim satisfaction watch- ed the liquor as it, came by bolts through -tho neck. He' drained it., shook it, so that the last drop was gone. KO. fey-, of thtiy ctlirk�•Wlatlt Moya gone. sia T ; CIL 1°TO.& STEW. ERA 1. Mr I I L 1 INA.0 i(1 PraL BABY.

He'll thunder down old time as Len. battle. Tea was over, and only his mother was in the room. Ile went straight up to the table, planted the empty jug there with 'decision considerably more than neeeal- sae , and said. "Mother, I got the jug filled, but I poured all'the whiskey on the road." The mother's bright fair sheik actu- ally paled. "Tom, what do you say?" she almost gasped, "Mother, I won't bring a drop of whiskey into this house again. No, I never will." Now had a volcano burst up in her flower -garden before her eyes Mrs Sutker lapd could not have been more amazed. Tom turned quickly away and left the house, mother and son both eutiroly forgetting that he had no tea. Mrs Sutherland was unspeakably perpplexed. and unfeignedly afraid. "Whits had come over Torn? What would father say?" No mention was made of the matter during the short evening which pre- ceded nine o'clock. Tour tried to study. but could not think about it; there was a burden at his heart. At viae family worship was conduct- ed in reverent Scotch fashion, and the room was soon cleared, but just as the last foot was disappearing at the top of the ladder leading up into the loft Mr Sutherland's voice called:. •Town, 1 want you." - It had been hard on Tom, that even- ing spent under an over -hanging sen- tence, all the more certainly -serious from the dignity of its with -holding, and now his heart beat and his breath came and went quick as he backed down the ladder and faced about to confront his father. h' en0eth Sutherland's eyes said: "Coarse„right here, Tour," and the culp- rit came. His eye was steady, but his cheek had lost its color. If he had been sure he had done right after all he would have felt better, but all evening his Mind had been in a whirl. It seemed ars if there were two results, and they were pulling against each other. Toro's eyes fell as he neared his father. Kenneth looked at him curiously,sad- ly, not angrily, a second or t wo, and then he saidl: "What did you do with whisks Tour 1" nth "1 pourer lit. on the road, sir." Kenneth's long arms • reached out. lie took fold of Tont just above the elbows, drew hint slightly to him, and then said: "l1 was not the right thing to do, when i had sent you fur it, but I would rather you'd pour it there than that you took to pouting it down your throat. I'll never ask you to bring nae whiskey again, or if I ever do, 1 give you leave now to say no.' Poor foot. If he had been ordered to bring the raw -hide, he would have dune it, with a first step and steady nerves. This was too quick a transi- tion fur the over -str'ai'ned young heart. I am afraid he will from this time for- feit the respect of eleven tenths of sty, buy readers, but I cannot help that. For the first time in his life, ion' per- haps for the last time, he put his two amts round his father's neck. laid his face up close to the rough beard and cried like a little child. • TO BE CONTINCELL CATARRH IN THE HEAD Is undoubtedly a disease of the blood, and as such only a reliable blood purifier can effect a perfect cure.
