In a. sudden access of passion he
lifted his hand and struck the child
a sharp blow on the face.
Sue caught the boy in, her arras,
and turned with flashing eyes upon
her father.
"How dare you?" she panted. "I
don't know what all this means; but
you have no right to hurt the child."
"No right!" he cried, in a voice
thick with passion. "The boy is my
own son, and the child of a. mother
ho has blighted my life."
"Ile can't help what his mother
has done. You aught to be asham-
ed to punish a chiid for a woman's
sin."
If a Iamb had turned and bit him
Matthew Grainger could hardly have
been more astonished. Ile looked at
Sue as if she had suddenly gone
Mad. She carried the child up to
her own bed, and watched him until
he fell asleep, with a passion of
tenderness in her heart which it was
certain that his pretty, feather -
headed mother had never felt for the
boy.
Binks pined in liis new home like a
transplanted flower. Sue thought
that he was fretting for his mother,
and stole up to his bedside one
night to comfort him. She Smooth-
ed leis eurls with her work -worn
hands, and whispered loving words
into his ears.
The child turned upon his pillow
and looked at her with strange, un -
childlike look in his beautiful eyes.
"I am not crying, about mamma,"
he said, with a touch of scorn in his
yo ice.
"No? What is wrong, then, darl-
ing?" - -
"I an prying because father broke
my violie and because I Shall never

''But what difference would a
Violin make? You could not play

"Me not play!" flashed the boy: "I

"I will get you a violin if you

"Good!" cried the stranger. "And
so the English fool makes a grocer

his throat. Jove! It is a siht as
big as putting a skylark in a pie."
'Save me, signor," cried the boy,
-with all the fervency of prayer.
"Take me away from this hateful
place and teach me to sing."
"Dines, my dear," cried Sue. "you
cannot go with this man. roather
would jill you if he knew that you
had ever spoken to him."
Dinka shook her off impatiently.
"What does it matter about fa-
ther?" he said. Signor Macron°

The man scribbled down anaddress
and handed it to the boy.
'-'Come sea me there," he said; "we
talk things over."
Ile turned away, and Minks, with-
out a word to Sue, rushed upstairs.
Ten minutes later the little bell
clanged again. Sue hastened to the
door, and saw the boy flying down
the street.
Through the long bours of the
night Sue sat by the dead fire, and
it was only when the grey light of
the new day came stealing in that
She crept away to her oWn. roots..
The little corner drawer stood open,
encl the money, the savings of so
many painful years, was gone.
Sur broke into wild weeping, for
she knew now, without a shadow of
doubt, that I3inks, her boy, her idol,
had gone from her, never to return.
* * * * * *
Two years had passed away, and
Matthew Grainger had been laid in
his grave a week before. Sue was
sitting over her solitary tea when
the door opened softly and a gentle-
man stepped in.
She started up with a great cry of
gladness. Xt was Binks, her boy
come back to her once More.
She clung about his neck, sobbing
and laeghing for joy.'
"I suppose you are a, great singer
now, dear?" she said, looking up at
hiin with fond eyes.
"Pretty well," he said. "But I
want a year in Paris before I can
take my place at the top of the
tree."
"Are you going to Paris, Binks?"
"I am, if I can get the money.
How did the old man leave things,
Sue?"
Sue shook her head sadly.
"He left everything to me, Bink.
Ile would do it In spite of everything
that I could say."
"What a jolly shame, when I was
his only son!"
"But it need not make any differ-
ence, Binks," she said, earnestly.
"It is all yours, just the same as if
father had left it to you."
His face lighted up instantly. He
stooped and kissed her.
"You always were a brick, Sue,"
he said. "It is a Indy little busi-
ness and ought to fetch a decent

"You mean to sell it?" she

TO CLEAN DItESS SNIRTS.
The average black skirt of woolen
material comes in for renovation of-
tener than any other, and nothing
repays the tirao spent upon it better.
When it begins to look gray or rus-
ty, It may be brightened by rubbing
on the right side with equal pities of
alcohol and wriem water, a.nd iron-
ing on the wrong side while still
damp. Black alpaca can be made
to look like now by sponging in
strong coffee and pressing on the
wrong side with a hot iron. Nearly
all kinds of woolen goods will wash
well, and an old skirt may be re-
newed without buying anything real-
ly new for it.
If the old skirt linings are good
they may be washed, starched and
used again. The canvas facing may
be made quite stiff by going over it
with a brush dipped in a strong so-
lution of white glue and water, then
iron it and the facing will be as good
as new.
Soap bark is excellent for washing
black goods, and delicate colors may
be washed in the suds without fear
of fading. Put 10 cents worth of
soap bark to soak over night in
three guarts of warm. water. The
nextmorningstrain through thin
muslin into a tub ,balf full of warm,
soft water anii wash the goods by
pressing and squeezing between the
hands; never rub on the washboard
or wring by hand. Wash through
two such waters 1! the goods is
much soiled; then rinse thoroughly,
hang on. the lino until alnaost dry,
and press on, the wrong side. The
goods av111 not have a fresh new ap-
pearance unless it has been very
carefully ironed.
Washing with tho soap bark suds
may be all that is necessary to make
: goods look fresh and new, biet If the
material -is good, and it has become
rusty or faded, it is well worth re -
coloring. Any kind of black goods
can be recolored a jet black by dip-
ping the skirt or the pieces, after
the eleirt has been ripped apart, in
black diamond dye . for wool, and
light cloth will take any of the rich
dark shades. By changing the color,

"11,,thert X was a young man," said
a commercial traveler, "I was ratit-
or fond of displaying my smartness
when visiting country districts. The
The people there, however, proved
more than a match for me on one
occasion.
"While resting on a summer's day
at a country inn I entered into con-
versation with some farmers and
proceeded to parade my smartneas
as a townsman.
"After a time a.n old. 1arm,er pro-
posed, as a little diversion, that
eaeh person present should have a
suacer of sugar placed in front of
him, and the mao whose saucer first ‘,
attracted a. fly should pay for re-
freshments for all the rest.
"I entered heartily :nto the joke,
but was a little chagrined when the
first fly alighted in my saucer. How-
ever, I paid up and looked pleasant,
and when the refresb,ments were fin-
ished sat down for another turn,
confident that this tirao the fly
would claim a rustic. victim.

two fle.s paid a visit to my saucer,
quite ign.oring those of my com-
panions. Amid a chorus of snorts
and guffaws I again paid, and then,
a little surprised, not to say ireysti-
fied, I departed.
"It was not until seine time, af-
terwards that I became aware of the
joke which had been practiced upon
me. Those wily old farmers were
in league with the landlord, who had
seen to it that, while my saucer held
powdered sugar, theirs contained
salt."
