W0MAN5 v to o--S CHAPTER XXI V. BACBBb'S COttrKSSIOX. Brian at first was content, to lie still and watch Margaret, but as he grew stronger he would ask her to sing or talk to him, and then would she tell him again and again ot the bitter regret and remorse which had flUed those three long miserable weeks. "How cruel I was," he whispered. "I did not know what I was saying. I could never reproaoh you. V u have done more for me than I can ever speak of. Always my true, loyal wife. Always making sacrifices for me. It was such a dear, tender heart that I longed tor just a tender spot in it " "A very proud heart," she corrected gently. "Only sometimes. And had it been a thousand times more proud I should forget it all in the Joy of possessing It at You bave possessed it all the time," she confessed, burying her face from his glanee. "It has been yours since we were together at 8'conset, Brian. I did not realise it myself, but now I know, and am glad of the suffering that taught me." "Ah, darling, that I have been bo blind. When you married me I thought " "Yes, Brian, so did I think. My sense of Justice felt outraged by uncle Stephen's will, and I persuaded myself that I was marrying you to make amends for that, and all the while my love for you was pleading so much more eloquently than my love of Justice. I have kept it back so long I wish you to know all the truth now." His eyes filled with an inexpressible Joy, as be lovingly stroked her bowed head. "Bachel has made her confession at last," he said, softly, "and Jacob would willingly live over Mb sufferings again for the pleasure of hearing suoh sweet words. He is very happy now, for he feels that this is his true wedding day, and his life lies before him." August was nearly gone, and he was only able to sit in his chair and allow her to wait upon him. They were together so one morning when a messenger arrived from The Cedars with a note for Margaret. She read it hastily, and, with a radiant face and the words "I am so glad," handed ft to Brian. "Good news," he said, taking it from her hand and reading the words aloud: "Another Bertie came somewhat unexpectedly with the sun this morning. Alice hopes you will pay your Immediate respects to his lordship. "Behtie, Sr." "Bertie is evidently in the fifth Haven of delight," commented Brian. "Carry my congratulations, Margaret. I suppose you are going," Margaret, or course, ieu in 'ove wren the tiny bit of humanity, and fully agreed with Alice that Cuthbert Barton Junior was a very fine-looking young nutn. She even fancied she discovered ikeness to Bertie, though not a par ticularly striking one, as she told Brian afterward. September came in very cool and the invigorating air seemed to infuse new lil e into Brian's veins. You will not be able to impose upon me much longer," he said to Margaret, one morning, i ll be strong enouga to rebel against your tyranny soon." "As soon as you like, Brian," she answered, looking up from the roses she bid placed on the table beside him. "I tl.ink I've played nurse long enough. Ii you do not get well very soon you will grow so fat and lazy that I'll never b able to get you ottt of that chair. " He looked up into the face, whioh bud never seemed more sweet and lov-1 able, and catching her hand held it a prisoner within his own. "Never mind," he said, "watt until I am out of this for good. Then I mean tc take my dear little nurse in hand and make her fat and lazy, too. I want to see some roses in her white cheeks." "I don't think you will ever be able to coax them there, Brian. It is not Iheir element, but the nurse feels that she dusires some petting and coddling; she i hits given you so muob. What can she I do for you now' JKead7" -no, my aear; iaiK. i am a great trial, am I not?" Oh, yes, a dreadful trial, she re turned with a half smile. . "But," she added softly, "I aosld aaver do without my trial." He caught her hand as she uttered the last words and drew her unresistingly to his knee. Then came a sharp and unexpected interruption, in Bertie's voice: Hello, there! I don't want to dis turb such interesting proceedings, but I would like to know how soon the public may be admitted. Such civilities-" Kou are extremely impudent, cried Margaret, starting to her feet with a brilliant blush. If you do not learn better manners I shall drop your acquaintance." "Please don't, ma'am. I need your pro tection sadly. My respected father has Just sent me from his presence with a parting injunction to visit a certain gentleman who is credited with warm quarters. I prefered coming here. And, by the way, Brian, I've been commissioned to inform you that you have been Indulging your laziness long enough, and, therefore, you arc expected to pay your respects at The Cedars to-night " 'Tell Margaret to come and bring her husband along,' were the words of my venerable father. So, Margaret, please do as you are bid." "I wish you could bo more dignified, Bertie. For a husband and a father you are sadly wanting in that quality." For answer, Bertie laughed. "How are you, old fellow?" he asked, taking Brian's hand. "Able to assert your authority?" "Not quite. I've just been warning Margaret that the t me is not far distant when I shall assume the reins of government." . "She looks quite miserable over the prospect," returned Bertie, with bis eyes on Margaret's laughing face, "I saw Wilson when I was In the city a day or two ago. He inquire ! very particularly about you, and Margaret also. 1 told him you were doing finely, and that Margaret was as unmanageable as ever." "1 shall be revenged for that, sir. Was Dr. Wilson well?" "I can't say he looked very well," answered Bertie, with some hesitation. "He works too hard, I think. He is certainly very pale and thin." "Why not write and invite him here for awhile?" said Brian, turning to Margaret. "This air would infuse new life In his veins." "He needs it certainly, " observed Bertie. "He has not seemed quite natural for some time. I'm afraid he is losing his old happy spirits." "We will ask him to come," said Margaret, quickly, "though I fear he cannot give us any of his valuable time. When I think of what he has done for you, Brian, I do feel so grateful to him, and I should like nothing so well as to find him suoh a true, good wife as he (reserve." "Margaret turned match-maker, "She b comes more inmused Bertie, terestlag nnd wtU tell V, i nal evvry day. I m .as himself la readl-

nees, and meantime, my deer, I hope you will search diligently for the particular woman destined to become his blessing aad torment at the same time. Now t must be off. I suddenly remember that Alice sent me for some mixture for that young hopeful of our?, and if I don't hurry, he may bawl his head off. " "You outrageously unfeeling man. It :t had known you were on liny such errand, you shouldn't have staid here a second. That poor littlo innocent may be actually suffering for his medicine," "No more than you, my dear," laughed Bertie. "It Is simply the Burton teiiiper asserting itself. Even fa; her recognizes it, and while ho accepts retributive justio i in a meok and lowiy spirit, it sometimes gives way to a m ill ejaou'ation, such a 'thunder' when Bertie grows particularly demonstrative. However, I'll get the decoction an i say good-by to you uutll to-night. ' A day or so litter, Margaret sent to Dr. Wilson a warm snd pressing invitation to spend at least, a few days at Elmwood. Wilson lornd the letter awaiting him when he r. ached his roo us nfier a long clay's work, an t, though his face brightened at the sight of it, be did not aeijept tho tempting pleasure offered, and his regrets, not himself, found their wty to Elmwood. The letter found a plaon in a corner of hit. desk, and It was still there when time had whitened his hair and his eyes wf re dim from something more than sweet old memories. CHAWEH XXV. AFTER TWO YEAH. Two years have passed, and brought th-Mr inevitable changes. The seasons have come and gone. Tho flowers have bloomed and died and bloomed agn n, and once more Elmwood is crowned in tile full beauty of tho month of roses. It is late in the afternoon, and for some time Margaret has been waiting Brian's coming. Her eyes are fixed alternately upon the long drive and upon the little face sleeping peacefully in her arms. Maternity, that perfect completion of woman's nature, has given her a new grace and dignity, and lelt upon her lite the impress of a happiness that even the shadow of old sorrows cannot lessen. Indeed, the sorrows are never remembered, exoept in a philosophical sort of way, and in the realization ot all that she hoped and expected she feels that they have brought an ample reward. Brian has fully redeemed his pledge, and, with a life full of higher and nobler purpose, Is walking faithfully in his father's footsteps, and winning the same honor and respect. He oomcs home with a light heart thin evening, and seeing Margaret, leaps from his carriage to take her in his arms and kiss the two faces with warm and tender love. "Are you very tired?" she asks, looking into his eyes. So, so. It has been warm in tho village, but here it is quite delightful. Poor Mrs. EIUb is down asain for good, I fear, this time, and Brown has an uttaek of influenza. He is tuore frightened than hurt. I think, and more iroublesomo than either. He fancies I am not giving him sufficient medicine, and insists on taking a double dose. His wilo has quite a time with him. "What have you boon doing with yourself, Margaret? Not trying any ot yesterday's experiments, I hope. Give, me Marguerite; she Is growing quite heavy. You must not try to carry her any more, dear. 1 will taKe her to -Miliy and we will walk to that hill to see the sun set. It is really superb." When the baby had been given into the care of Its nurse, Margaret linked her arm in Brian's, and they walked toward the place he had pointed out. "I have a pioeo of news which will please you, I know. Wilson has at last made up his mind to come to us for a week. We may expect him about tho 2ist, he says." "I am so glad," Margaret answered, with genuine feeling. "Wo must mnko it such a delightful week that he will want to repeat it. It is icaWy quito curious, I think. But, do you know, I never had such a strong desire to sco aay one married as I have to seo him? I know it would make suoh a happy difference in his life." "I suppose you think that the only happy state for man?" "1 hope you do," she replied, meeting his laughing glance. "It shou.d be, and, as a rule, I think it is; the exceptions are individual eases. To my mind a poor, lonely old bachelor trying to persuade himself that he is fortunate in having escaped tnc evil of matrimony is a most doleful and pitiable spectacle. Ah. how glorious!" The last words were uttered as thoy reached the summit of tho hill and the full splendor ot the sunset burst upon them. They stood for a few seconds in silence, watching the globe of fire sinking in a sea ot gold. Then Mnrgaret stole more closely to his Bide with tho words: "It seems to hold the peace of benediction, Brian." "A benediction," he repeated, slipping his arm about her waist and holding her to h's heart. "Ah, may we always feel the peace of such a benediction, darling. May we always stand together as we are standing now, through better and through worso; ever firm in each other's trust; ever strong in civ h other's love. And when our t uns shall set, may our skies be as aim and us tranquil as this glorious one before m. "Oh, tranqu.l sunset of ilm soul, When all the 'ur of eartli la past; ' When storms no longer round us roll, And heaven Is near at last ; We know, thouijli fall and faint wo any, Oalu sunset ends thn longest day." the BSD. Hootch Thrift. An event which caused much stir in the little community was the introduction of gas. Previously oil of a coarse kind, or cannel coal placed on the front of the grate, had been used for lighting purposes. Candles were expensive and their liRlit feeble, and so to a great extent th Squair was in a state of darkness, for necessity or thrift reduced the ust; of artificial light to the minimum. An old woman of frugal habits, who had means and appliances superior to her neighbors, and who rejoiced in tlie possession of a servant, used to say to that domestic, as the shades of evening began to descend: "Noo, Nannie, ye may pit the lamp on the table, an' if onybody o' consequence ca's ye can licht it." The Scotsman: atentor. In the Grecian army it was usual to have three men in each battalion to communicate the commands of the officers to the men. Of these, one carried a staDdard and another a trumpet. But in the confusion and din of battle, when neither signal could be seen nor trumpet beard, the third man (wbo for this purpose was the strongest in the army) communicated the commands by word of mouth. Homer relates of one of these men, Stentor by name, th.it he shouted as loud as fifty other uicn. Hence a man with a powerful voice is said to possess tho voice of Stentor, or a stentorian voice.

8HOHT WORK WITH Bid LOOS.

Circular Saws That Do Not Need Sharpening, and Move Like Lightning, New York Sun. The largest oiroular saw that has been sent out of this city recently was exactly six feet in diameter. Jt was ordered by a match company, and went to Michigan. Fifty-two teeth projected from its rim. It is now revolving at the rate of 672 revolutions a minute, and is capable of making a ten-iuoh to twelveinch cut with each revolution. It can saw off a forty-loot plank, therefore, in an infinitesimal portion of a minute, though as a matter of fact the frame on which logs are fed to a saw is adjusted to move at about the speed at which a man oan walk. At that rate, there is nothing but a whir and a shriek to announce the journey of a log's length. This is not a solid saw or it would have more than 100 teeth. It is one of the new patterns, in which the teeth are soparato from the plate, and oan bo inserted aud removed at pleasure. The teeth in the sort of saw of which this monster is a specimen are littlo curved bits of steel, pointed like chisels at the cutting end. They fit into round sockets cnt out of the edges of the sawplates, and their little chisel blades project slightly beyond the circle of the plate. There are various inventions in movable teeth for circular saws, aud in nearly all of them the circle plays an important part. It looks purely ornamental, but in reality it prevents the steel from splitting with the grain. Solid saws continne to be made in great numbers, but the inventors of the movable teeth, different partterns of which are made by all saw manufacturers, aro deriving fortunes, because new teeth can be replaced for a few cents und in a few minutes, and the body of the saw remains the size it was mado, whereas solid saws have to be newly filled and set and sharpened every time they dull, a process that consumes time and requires the services of a sawder whose skill commands good wages. Every cutting reduces the size of tho saw. A seventy-two inch saw is a big one, even in Michigan, where the sixtysix inoh saw is in common use. There these fivo-and-ono-half-foot saws are run at a speed of from 500 to 700 revolutions in Norway pine logs, and they cut as deep with each revolution as the monster above described. Tho little-chisel-bit teeth will chew out pine during a whole working day, and on entire set of dtdl ones can be replaced next day in five minutes for 8 cents a tooth. Some of the sawdust from one of these great sawa was sent from Michigan to the establishment of a great saw-maker in this city. It was esteemed as a curiosity. It was not dust at all, but a mass of little pellets of wood, three-eights of an inch in thickness. The lumbermen prefer to waste lumber in this way provided they get speed out of their tools. Th eso hngesaws aro used singly in sawing a rough log into planks. Afterwards the planks are reduced to desired widths by edger saws, which are smaller implements revolving together at the proper distances one from the other. A saw-mnker must know whether or not his enstomor wants to run his purchase at a high rate of speed before the saw is made. Saw-makers, in developing a disk of steel iuto a taw, hammer it so as to leave either a hard or a soft center. A saw that has a soft center will wabble in the middle if a person takes hold of it by the edge and hhnkes it. If it has a hard center, one part will not shake more than another. A saw with a hard center, if driven at a high rate of spcel, will not cnt straight Its edge will wabble. Hut if it has a soft center, and is sent around at a rate of 700 or 800 revolutions a minute, the centrifugal force straining at the center stiffens the saw and keeps the edge steady. To tho average mind it would 8eem that there has been tho same straining after ornamental effect in the vertical saws, so odd are tho shapes of the teeth. But here, again, the study has been solely to produce strength and cutting power. Home of the vertical e.vws have dull teeth alternating with the sharp ones. The dull ones do not reach out quite so far as the cnt tors. Their purpose is to clear the sawdust from before the cutters. Gardens and Patience. Nothing teaches patience like a garden. All have to wait for the fruits of the earth You may go round and watch the opening bud from to-day; but it takes its own time, and you cannot urge it on faster. If forced, it is only torn to pieces. All the best results of a garden, like those ot life, aro slowly but regularly progressive. Each year docs a work that nothing but a vear can do. "Learn to labor and to wait" is ono of the best lessons of a garden. All that is good takes time, aud comes only by growth. A Tremendous Rumpus In the system is produced by adisoidoxlr liver.

Hev. E. 8. Cook, a Methodist minister, t. oultured and eahoiwly man. Since earliest childhood he has been devoted to tho Sunday Bohool. In boyhood he Joined the church, and be gan teaching in the Sunday Sehool at tho DAVID O.

The fire of 18ii wits the beginning of his mission and Sunday-Bchool work on the North Side. 11 is field was one ot tho roughest and poorest of the burnt district.

With an attendant of 350 to 430, ho suRtalued the school for five tear 3 without the aid of church or society. resides this, he jiiis since organized and superintended North Avenue MisHion, Lake View Mission, Lake View Union Sunday-echools in Chicago, and the Sunday-8 h'jol connected with Graco Church in Elgin, 111., besides several smaller schools. His Bret publications were issued for bis own Sunday-schools alone. Nalghloring Sunday-schools, appreciating tho value of thesa helps, been mo his 1 rat subscribers. Soon Mr. Cook discovered that his were not the only schools that roeded more and better literature than they could afford to buy at the prices then existing, and resolved to make it his life -York to pluce in tho hands of the 8 unday-sehool children of the land an at imdnnco of the very best literature at thB lowest possible prices. He was met at the very outset with almost insurmountable obstacles and lively opposition; but the obstaoles and opposition onlv furnished zest, for be is a man of purpose, and it has been well said of him, "h:s indomlt blo energy demands insurmountable obstacles. " That hispuriose wagood and wise is proved by tho way he has been suppoited. It Is seventeen years slnoe he issued his first publication, and there is now scarcely a village or hamlet In the land where they ars not known and used. Ho employs regularly six associate editors and some sixty writers, representing some of the ablest Sunday tchool talent in the land, Among thoss who know him personally he is always recognized as a man of strong Christian character, a practical worker in the church, Sunday school and temperance cause, and a warm friend of missions, both home and foreign.
