Macgregoi raised himself on his el- bow and stared at him, "By jovel" he salt:, under his breath, "here's a go. Come here, Joe Dawson, and let me see you." - The lad slouched over, very evidently ill at ease, He lifted his black eyes un- easily, and dropped them again under that merciless stare. Shuffling from one foot to the other, shifting his cap from one hot hand to the next, he waited to hear his senteuee. "You're out of place and out of pock- et, Joe," Macgregor said, coolly, sur- veying the ragged garments of the lad. "You've been sick, you say. Where? In rol on ?" "No, sir; in the town yonder.

Look 'ere, hif you please; Pse got her pieter." He drew eagerly forth, in confirma- tiou of his words, a little miniature in a black velvet case. Macgregor took it, and as be opened it, e, long, silkygcurl of yellow hair drep- peO out and twined about his fingers. It was a very pretty tress, silky and soft, but the gentleman dropped it as though it lied been a viper. "Faughl" he muttered, with an ex- pression of ill -concealed disgust; and poor Joe pickea up hie" -eherished tress, a little surprised and hurt. Mr. Macgregor looked at the picture an instant, then cloeed it sharply. It was a very, very pretty fa.ee- bright and smiling and childishly sweet- that looked up at him with great dark eyee, the very counterparts of those in the lad's face before him.

Yes, Rose Dawson -lost, plot- ting, unprincipled wretch that you are, I will deal with you as you deal with your son!" _ Joe Dawson's duties began next day, and Joe made up in good will what he la,cked in skill, They were lamentable, certainly, hie best efforts, after that master artist, Monsieur Francois; but Macgregor had his own reaso-ns for tol- erating his new valet, and putting up composedly with his blunders. He watch- ed him curiously, as he smoked and loupeed about his attic, keeping his hencliman busy there at 'fifty odd jobs. It was a strange study to see the like- ness of the elegant little lady over at Chudleigh Chile° showing in a hundred; looks and waye of the uncouth servant lad. Charley dropped in iu the course of the day. It had grown to be his daily habit now, this sauntering over for a morning call epon his Orestee. "Busy, as usual?" he remarked, loung- ing in, looking inexpressibly handsome and cool in his summer suit of spotless linen. "If I disturb the exercises, Pll eo." (Macgregor, in the deep, rose -shad- ed window -seat, was writing.) "Where - about are you? Is Lord Charlemagne Clfarlesmount on his knees to the lovely Lady Sleepshanks? Or is the Black Bandit in the act of leaping from the top of the Martell° Tower with the shrieking Aureola Pasdebasque in his arms, or has Rinaldo Rinaldi, the mag- nificent hero of the tales, 'the daz- %ling son of 'poor but honest parents,' just been consigned to the deepest ditegeon. beneath •the castle moat . by that black -hearted scoundrel, the gouty old hlarquis of Carabas?

He sprueg from, the saddle, and was about to turn in quest of some Iess pre- tentious portal, when, liftine his eyes, be beheld a vision that ;truck him dumb with splendor.

What brings you here?" Joe pulled off his cap, still open- mouthed and open-eyed. "Beg paneling, mum. I was sent with a letter for Mrs. Ingram." "I Mre. big) am. Give me the let- ter. Who sent you?" "My masteit mum, over yonder," He waved Ins cap vaguely toward the horizont handing her the unsealed note mechanically, and still gazing in that wild traece. She untwisted the paper, read it, her dhrk face flushing a deep red with anger. She looked up, as she finished, with dangelously glittering eyes, were you? Here is my answer; tell your inat'oerit soe.:le to wait for an answer, She tore the letter into a dozen frag- ments, and flung them passionately on the grass at his feet. Do you hear, stupid?

"Oh, good Lor'!" rousing suddenly up, "what does this here go mean?" • "What are you -waiting for?" Mrs. Ingram ask,ed, angrily. "I have given you your answer," "Beg your parding, mum," Joe said, - for the sea Id time, "it's along of a picter. Do book at it, mum, and you'll see for yourself." He jerked out his beloved miniature, Ind opened it with fingers trembling .eith eagerness, and handed it to the adeily;s, Ingram recoiled, with a glance eisgust. "What do you mean, fellow?

"Joe Dawson. mum!' She recoiled with seream-a scream worateee horror. Had the murdered, man risen from his unavenged grave and itood, ghastly and awful, bemfore her in the silvery twilight, her face could not have turned a more livid hue. "And you are-" "Your son," Joe said, bravely, yet trembling from head to foot. "They found me when they found feyther-he was dead and I was asleep. They brought me up in the workus, and I have been looking for you all my life." "You insolent boor! How dare you! I your mother! I will have you shut up, as a madman if you ever repeat that lying slander, Have you dared to tell anyone -to show this?" She flung the picture, with all her force, into the fish -pond near, dna wait- ed, with livid face and blazing eyes. "Yes," Joe said, sullenly; "1 have told the master.

There were twelve loaves, representing the twelve tribes of Isretel, placed fresh each week on the table. .This bread, at the end of the week, was eaten by the priests. David and his men, fleeing from Saul, were weary and hun„ory. Ahimelech, the priest of Nob, gave them five loaves of the show bread (1 Samuel 21), which they ate contrary to the letter of the law.

Regarding Sabbath privileges.. The ecribes and Phariseee had a knowledge lot! UlThee 1;1 a 's \d'e vlovittihonouttothiehetrusaebbsapthiritymoaf right, but their method of epplying its law WaS false in the extreme. Their interpretation , was contrary to their own prineipleo and actions in other things. They had been looking at sep- arate acts and did not obeerve the un- derlying prineiple. They held hard, de- finite rules, binding the conduct, in- stead of greit principles planted in the heart. Their oppositton was from sel- fishness aud blindness of heart, but hi the name of religion. They assumed to be judges of everything, and, required an account of eveeytlaing to be given to them. Jesus refuted all their errors by the scriptures. He rescued the law from false interpretation, He would not abolish a law abeolutely necessary to the beet welfare of men. The Bab. bath was made for man and Must en. dure as long as man lives on the earth. It wee ord.aitied from the first for his benefit, and it was never intended that it should operate to his detriment. Jesus was Lord of the Sabbath to own it, interpret, to preeide over, and. to ennoble it, that it might be the great- est histitution for spiritual learning and oulture and soul grovrth that the world has even known. It is the "say- ines-bank of human existence." 11. Regarding Sabbath duties. Jesue went to the synagogue where he wee sure to meet human need. No day or place was too sacred, to make known the glad tidings of his king-dora, in the revelation of God's love.• He ever exhibited divine kindness- amid hunaat opposition, With him, love was the overruling law, He observed the Sob - both in such a way as not take away WS blessing from others, but rather to in- crease its blessedness. The higher law of ,beroevolenoe suspende,c1 the tower law of rest. The principle of love op- erated in the interpretation of law, be eanse all law is for the glory of God and the good of man. Had the Phari- sees profited by the love and tender- ness of Jesus, they would have learn- ed a more excellent way than the bon- dage of ecrupulous forms under which they groaned. All his greatness seemed to them a reaeou for making their ef- forts more rigorous to suppress him. He saw not the full meaning and blessing of the cure. "They watched," but not to understand; simply to bring aceusa- tion against him. They regarded the day more than the sufferer. Their hard- ness of neart was caused by cherishing false opinions in religion. As the cure was wrought by a word, they had no ground of aecusatiou. Jesus maintained that there is a class of duties which it is man's duty to perform on the Sab- bath. jeeus offered those hard-hearted Men another opportunity, but he tlid not permit them to hinder his work. The very presence of evil was abhorrent to Jesus. Though reconeiled to the sin- ner he never ean be reconeiled to sin, His grief wke for men, God's offspring. He hated the thing whieli alienated sons from the Father. He WAS moved againa the devils corruption of God's creature. The withered hand in the sy- negogue was a type of uselessnees and feebleness, a picture of whatever de- prives man of the power to glorify God. The sehool__•of the la" could not save and heal, but left the best energies of man withered, so that he could not ren- des- to God the service due him. The him. The miraele is a picture of sublime T.

Buffalo, April 8. -As he waved a greet- ing to his mother, who stood at the door of her home in Haat AllrOra. early last evening, John Carmody, a lineman em- ployed by the Bast Aurora Eleetric Light Company, lost his balance, and his hand ohot out instinctively for fie= support. It reseeJaed a live wire of high voltage, and Oarraody was killed instantly. Half an hour previous the repair mat was directed to enemeapaity .Manager Charlee P. Person, of the eompany, to Olean street, where the street lamps were giving dim light. Before scaling the pole, however the young fellow stepped in to see Lis mother. "Sit downea minute," the mother pleaded. but firanedy was ambitionst fitisteh the job before him, axed return to his wife. The mother followed him to the door, and then. wate'aed her boy _clamber up the pole until he reaehed the crosseree. °nee firmly astride the bar, he turned. toward her. "Now, go in and don't catch oold," he shouted cheerfully. Then Carmody lifted his gloved hand in solute to the woman below. As he did. a foot slipped and he lunged toward the firdt visible elettne aupport. Carmody gripped a oable alive with, 10,000 volts of power, and instantly the current was racing .througla his body. There was no outcry; he was dead almost inotantly. From the ground the man sent to direet the work looked au wonderingly, but as he saw Carthody's body etiffen for a second and then. fall across the wiree, he realized he was watohing a tragedy. The mother stood eilently in the doorway, scareely -able te realize what had happened. When Dr. A. W. Phelpe arrived the body was still prone on the high wiree, one bare hand still wrapped about the' wire and the others seoging Oarmodyte face and scorohing his clothes. The body woe so entangled that it was neceoaary to rade° a lathier to the top of the pole and lower it by ropes. Ctermody was twenty-eight yeare old, and was in the' Unite3. States army for some title. Reeently he Was MUStereti out of the eervioe and returned to East Aurora. Ile obtained a position in a foundry, but didn't find. the work con- genial, and two weeks ago was engaged by the .eleotric company. He is survived by Liz wife. A FARM POOL S. E.
