"Hold your tongue!" said Cousin

more would ye have? If you'd married

ry her, you'd better hold your tongue,
I tell ye. What's a maid but her good
naen.e? You'd. best not let John (Ater-
lyon bear ye taking away Ms daugh-
ter's character!"
She flung her eewing-thimble, reel,
and scissors violently into her baeket
after the energetie manner whfili the
god lady affeetedawhen she labored
from an accees of spleen, and dashed
out of the room with somewhat unne-
.
ceesary speed and noise. .
"What are ye keeping the child otrt
there for, with the dew falling on her?"
she demanded, harshly, from the porch -
door.
Winifred Caerlyonroused from her
long reverie withdrew her yearning
eyes from the far twilight horizon of
the Mean, lost in the depths of silvery
shrouding haze; she had been singing
the "Credie Song" again to soothe
Louis—
"Over the rolling water go,
Conte' from the drooping moon and
blow—
Blow him again, again to me,
While my pretty one sleeps—
While rny loved one sleeps!'
b—and the dark deep eyes were (listened
aud glowing with the passion of wild
fanries ana hopes and longings, gazing
out over the wide heaving expose of
ocean veiled in twilight ethadows.
-"She is covered with my thaw', mane-
ina---X will bring her in now."
The yoke was very gentle and taint
with weariness, the quiet rime very
white and patient, the drooping eyelide
languid. with "the weight of unshed
teate."
Elizabeth Caerlyon. shrewish and tate
lOving, had yet a heart whith eould be
touched, and Thonote Paseee's late ins
elnatations had at last provoked her in-
to taking her etepdaughteree part.
"I've heerd of st dog in the manger,"
she muttered, partly studibte for Mr.
Paricoete benefit--" there are people,
who'll neither fake t thing thenutelvee,
nor let a thing be for other people!

Nevertheless), she unioeked a certain
tleht, Yellow -painted enpboard in the
kitaten, took out it bottle with a dark
fragrant *ph* carefully mixed le por-
tion with hot water and sugar in a tum-
bler, and took it upetairs to the little
room where the pale evening light fell
through the dormer window on the
patchwork voverlet of the narrow toed
and the white face of the dark-haired
girl lying on the one smell hard phlovr.

said, shortly. "You're like One bed got

"Oh, thank you, thank you, mamma,"
returned Winie, struggling up in sur-
prise. g am only tired, though,"
The trembling voice 'broke down in a
sob, Which evidently bad not been the
first mince she had lain down beneath
the patchwork coverlet.
"What on earth. are ye crying for?"
asked Mrs. Caerlyon, impatiently "Be-
cause you're not off at Roeeworthy,
suppcse?"
"Oh, no, no, no!" Winifred burst out
in stormy weeping.
"You know I'll never go there again
—never, unless she came and asked me
kindly, and apologized to you and fath-
er. Madam did not treat me as she
ought. I was .sorry a good deal after
she went off so suddenly to Kent with-
out telling me—only that one short note
with my salary due. It was so un-
kindl"
"You needn't wake up all the chil-
dren," interposed Mrs. Caerlyon, Warn-
ingly. "Then, if you're not crying about
her, what are you crying for?"
"1 didn't feel very well—I don't
know," Winnie faltered, crying more
quietly, though her suppressed sobs
shook the narrow bed.
- "Because raSeoe's here?" persisted
Win Caerlyon, "You're a pretty xnaid
to cry because a man comes courting
ye," she went on, More jocularly. "I
am thinking Susanna Edwards -would
give him a different welcome."
"Then let had" Winnie cried, wildly.
"Oh, maranea, don't you know that I
cannot bear him like—like that I had
rather die any day. I shall die if you
don't send him away, and let me alone!
He does not care one pin for me; he
wants me only to make a servant of
me—and I'd rather stay here and work
for you and the children. Oh, mother,
do send him away!" she wailed, clasping
her hands tightly on her step -mother's
arm.
The overthrow of her pet project vex-
ed Mrs. Caerlyon very considerably—it
had vexed her many a, time these four
months past, since Whinifred had. been
summarily dismissed from madam's ser-
vice, although to do her justice, madam
had written rather apologetically re-
specting her sudden decision . to visit
relations in Kent, sending Captain Tre-
dennick's fetal present to its owner
along with that short, satin paper,
crested, perfumed note; but it had been
a dismissal, and a pointed and abrupt
one, after all, and hapless WInnie had
met the brunt of a storm of anger, sur-
prise, cross-questioning, taunts, and
suspicion worse than aught else—sus-
picion, even from her father, although
Sohn Caerlyon b,ad been born and bred
a gentleman, and might have shrunk
from branding his daughter's stainless
brow with the imputation of levity of
conduct (he would not admit that there
was more of irritable fatherly anxiety
than anything else in the harsh words
that insulted the poor child's maidenly
pride)—suspicion gathered from the gab-
ble of serpent -tongued gossipers and
from the cowardly innuendoes of the
base -spirited fellow who sought to hum-
ble and crueh the spirit out of the wo-
man whom he had chosen for his future
wife. But all their persecutions, threats,
insulting advances and prying surveil-
lance never for one moment 'made that
lonely, friendless, sacl-hearted girl un-
true to herself—untrue to her heart's
passionate devotion. She never once
took refuge in the usual feminine
cowardice of the assertion, "What do
I care for him? He is nothing to me-"
The steadfast truth of her noble wom-
anly nature never once leaned toward
the denial of the accusation which
rankled in the very depths of her inno-
cent virgin soul. Her lips grew white
and dry with agony, but they never ut-
tered the lie, "I do not love him," when
they flung the name of her "fine gen-
tleman lover," Tredennick of Tregarth-
en, at her, try to overwhelm her with
helpless confueion and shame.
From the tried shield of Whittle's
brftve spirit the darts fell powerless
that should have stung a fierce, impat-
ient spirit into desperation, or moulded
a feebler, more selfil one to tearful,
complaining obedienee, when elle was
openly warned that she had better give
no further occasion of offence to her
family; that, her conduct having been
faulty—or at least such that the gos-
sip could find fault 'with it, the two
not being by any means a matter one and
Indivisible—she would probably do well
to endeavor speedily to stet it as well
as herself right in the estitnation of
Susanna Edwassises and "cousin Anna
Marks" of the neighborhood, and that
it behooved her particularly to take
care that her relatives sustained no lose
in either peeuinary meters or credit on
her account. A worthy young man, in
his great maglianintityl Was willing to
marry her, and make her a respectable
matron, with a decent home of her own

"'Teens ectindatousi" Mr. Pascoe deli-

"I Intid girie don't like a mu to be
mean about money when he's paying ''ern

Caerlyon, more coneillatingly.
"Well, then, I tell 'e," Baid Mr. Pas-
coe—that worthy young man's spirit be-
ing roused to a pitch of desperation he-
tween the insult, to his unparalleled gen-
erosity, as he considered it, and the
threatened attaek on the "wages" he
loved to hoard up so economically in the

nothert to say to a maid that I have no
great opinion of. Winiford can get rib-
bons and silks where she got other
things, and I'll not have no more to Kay
to her!" •
Tide awful threat, Mr. Pascoe doubted
not, would have the eatiefactory effect
of making Ms cousin apologize, aesuring
him of her continued. oetermintion to
coerce Winifred into proper behavior, ad-
mire him for his prudence and his de-
posit in the county bank, and humbly
coax him into more generous promisee of
patropage on behalf of Sarah Matilda.
But Mr, Caerlyon's spirit was thor.
oughly roused too; elm began to con-
sider that it Was better, after all, to
liave Winifred's efficient services for
herself; and at the bottonatof her heart
was a little lurking pity for her patient
.step -daughter's trouble, and a faint lurk-
ing hope that something might wine of
it, better even than Thomae Pascoe's
generosity.
"She'll not have any more to say to
ye—so ye needn't take much credit to
yourself in that way, Thomas," said
"Cousin eLzabeth," seathiegly; "and
since that's the way ye speak -of her, I'd
be sorry she did. I've 'no doubt the
maid will find as good a. friend, and bet-
ter a sweetheart than you, whoever he'll
be."
"Ah—Tredentrftle a' Tregarthen,"
sneered Mr. Pascoe, driving his hands
nearly through his coat poekets in his
jealous rage.
"Well," , said "Cous• in "Lezabeth,".
keeping the whip hand with calm super-
iority still, "what of it, Thomas? Treden-
nick o' Tre.garthen might . look lower

ed relative with frightful iteration, as
her temper rose higher, "that Winifred
Caerlyon could not marry as good ea a

Mr. Thomas Pascoe thought of his
house with the spare bedroom and beat
parlor, with haircloth sofa of his deposit
account at the bank and hie generous
intentions regarding Sarah Afatilda, and
could scarcely believe his senses. But
"Cousin, 'Lezabeth" thoroughly looked as
if she meant what she said; and when
she went into Winifred's room before
retiring to rest, and eaw the weary look
on the thin, white, sleeping face, and the
dark wet eyelashes -z -even in her dreams

she would have spoken the "piece of her

troubled anxiety ---"the maid looke as if

THE RIGHT TO SPEAK.
(Philadelphia. Revord)
In woman's demand for the right of
suffrage the right to talk politics is
Plied. Why should women desire to vote
If not for tbe purpose of taking part
In the government and giving effective
expression to their political convictions?
Nor is there ales* reason why such partic-
ipation in public affairs should be forbids
den to women until after they bave ob-
tained the suffrage. We do not believe
that either one of the greater parties
has done or has promised to do, more
than the other for the political emancipa-
tion of womankind; and we should he
loath to have the question made a foot-
ball of partisan politics. If any suffra-
gist is of eontrary opinion, however,
it is her privilege to suit her words and
actions to her thinking. Free speeeh Is
a coronary to enatikepation.
BETTER THAN SPANKING
spanking does not cure children of bed-
wetting. There is a constitutional cause
for this trouble. Mrs. M. Summers, Box
W. 8, Windsor, Ont.,- will send free to
-any Mother her successful home treat-
tnent, with full instructions. Send no
moneY. but write her to -clay if ybur child-
ren trouble you in this way. Don't
blame the child, the chances are it can't
help it. This treatment also cures adults
aria aged people troubled with urine dif-
ficulties by day or night.

"H E R"BA LOT.
It is an almost forgotten fact that the
first Constitution of New Jersey adopted
in 1770, Provided explicitly for woman
suffrage. "All inhabitants of this Cole
ony of full age, who are worth fifty
pounds proclamation money, clear estate
in the same, and have resided within the
county in which they claim, a vote for
twelve months immediately preceding the
election, shall be entitled to vote for Re-
presentatives in Council and Assembly
and also for alt other public officers that
shall be ekited by the people of the
countryeest large."
eldi this was no string -tied grant of
ae ballot. that "all inhabitants" meant
inhabitants ant not merely all male
Inhabitants otherwise qualified, is prov-
ed by the equally forgotten fact that un-
der the foregoing constitutional warrant
the .New Jersey Leg,Islature passed an
net regulating elections and actually one..
taining these mernerable words: "Every
voter shall openly and in full view ue-
posit this or HER ballot, whIch, shall
be a Bissale written ticket containing the
names of the person for whom he or
she votes."
This election law with "his or her" and
'theses She in it lived for fourteen years.
It was then repealed in 1807.
The right then recognized lay -dormant
for sixty-two yeara until the Territory
of Wyoming, 1 1889, gave the ballot to
women. Othea states followed.
