CHAPTER II. As Hnry came over the bank Nel was "ust in the act of pushing the boat off chore, having already 'cosed the chains with which it was fastened and threw ?4t upon the best. She had purposely delayed a little, hoping that Henry would come to hr aid. When she heard ' trampling of feet her fears vanished, land she began to push the boat off. Henry gave a shove at the prow and sprang on board, going at once to the jtiller for the purpose of so turning the raft as to get the best of the current. 1 Henry had aided so often that he had leCome a skilled pilot. Ever sliice "Xel" had began, to run the ferry ; Henry had aided her a.s often as he feJUld escape from the tables assigned him t home. ' "Spec: he's down to the ferry," was always the reply of the Williams family when asked where Henry was. As for ) the children of his own age, he never inquired of the Williames where Henry was, but went to the ferry, and It was there they went to make their inquiries. "Oh! Henry's got to chop wood today;" "Henry's got ta hunt the hogs that have strayel off;" "Henry's Rt to hoe corn;" "Hrnry's got tu weed the garden;" etc. All these reasons, among others, Nel had often been heard to give In answer to the inquiries for Henry. This phows that a pretty good understanding existed between the two, and It is said that Henry reported to her the duties assigned to him by his parents. The intimacy between Henry and Xel Jiad existed so long that nobody knew when it commenced or it existed any more than brother and sister; even, the children thought It was one of the natural things of life. Nels first remembrance of the ferry, which was the first memory cf anything, was playing with children around It. and Henry's memory went rio father back. When Nel first began to manage the ferry Henry was by her side to encourage her, and when the boat made its first voyage Henry stood on its prow. That was years ago. Henry had always been her playmate, and her assist -nt In managing the ferry. Not because there were no other children that could essist her in running the ferry, for there was not a boy or grid that had reached the- age of twelve but what had some time tried his hand at the tiller. But none of them emd to have gained the knowledge of guiding th boat that Henry had. And o.it wa that he had gradually become looked upon as one who had the rights to manage the ferry. All this, I say, had become natural nough to everyhody, but to none more bo than to Henry and Nel. That there hould b any reason for their blushing at lha knowledge of their intimacy had

never occurred till now. They scarcely knew why they were shy of each other when in the presence of others, and that there was a deep feeling in their hearts: and even if they did they would probably have denied its existence until now. when Mr. A. B. Mallory of Indianapolis, who was going to Colorado to make a purchase of land in the gold mining district, crossed the river. Mr. Mallory had bad . occasion? to cross the river several times before, and had srained the acquaintance of Nel. and knew Henry by sight. He had always by some accident happened to be present when Mr. Mallory crossed, until this time, having to weed the garden. The gentleman noticed the absence of th- boy and asked Nel if her brother was n-t sick that sb was running. the ferry alone? "Who. Henry!" sh exclaimed, blushIn jr. "He hnd to weed the panlen today. He's Mr. Williams's son; he hain't iv.y brother."' Rut isn't he hired?" ask Mr. Mallory. "I supposed h was your brother or sonv boy hired to assist you in injnfging the ferry, as T have seen him aiJiner you ever since I crossed hre the first time." "Oh. iv!" answered Xel: "Henry isn't hired; h r just help bei -a use he likes to. and " Phe stopped short as th ugh the last words spoken had choked her. "Oil. yes. certainly! he's your sweetheart." added Mr. Mallory. laughing. "And lie help you so as to bo with you and have good tint"." And for the first time in life Nel blushed. X1 turned and seemed to be busy at the tiller as Mr. Mallory turned to bid hrr "p-ood-by." "I hop that your sweetheart will be with you when I return." he remarked as he walked rapidly up the bank. Nel east a glance at him as he left, hoping never to see his face agiln. Thn buryin her tanned face in her apron sho wept aloud. "Oh! that horrible m.t.n." she cried, ringing her hands in agony. "How can I ever meet him face to face agvin? He has taken my life. He has broken the ties of nature that bind mine and Henry's hearts together. Must this play gr und of mine ba my burial place, where boats " "What's the matter. Nellie?" came a voice from the other end of the ferry. It was the voice of Henry. He ha4 finished weeding the garden and come down to the ferry to spend the evening With Nellie. She Jumped to the bank and started to run honie when a strong: arm stopped her. She tried to release herself, but all in vain. Finding it useless she buried her face in her hands and wept as though her heart would break. Henry drew her face up to his breast and kissed her time and again and begged her to tell him what was the matter. "Tell me. Nellie, who has hurt you and I will have revenge if it costs me my life." She placed her arm around his neck and told him the conversation that passed between Mr. Mallory and her. telling him how she blushed at his being called her sweetheart, and "Hut. Nellie, I'll have revenge on him. He ha3 broken the cords of your heart, and. now you are ashamed to be caught in my presence. Oh. God. if I never hau been born! I'll have revenge revenge, or I give up my life!" She dropied down upon her knees and with uplifted hands she begged him to forget what had passed. Without making a single answer he kissed her goodby and walked rapidly toward home, leaving Nellie on her knees crying and praying that her dearest friend might appear before her again as he appeared the day before. Dear reader, can you imagine that you see this poor girl, in her troubles, kneel down upon the bank of a river that Is calling her to a watery grave? Oh, no; we may think we can conceive the sorrow of one who watches the form of their dearest friend fade away in the horizon, probably for the last time, but far from it. It may be that some of you In your lives have witnessed this very scene. If so, (Jod have mercy on you. Henry went home with a heavy heart. Instead of going to his father and mother, as usual, he went to his room upstairs, which was reached by means of a ladder bent up against the wall. He laid down upon the bed hoping to sleep away his troubles, but in vain. The more he tried the stronger the aching in his heart, until he heard something whisper in his ear, She's ashamed of you in the presence of others; hide from her sight. When darkness strolled o'er the valley Nellie, with a tottering step, went home, hoping that the night would bury her troubles In its dark bosom, and when the golden sun peeped over the mountain top at Winderville that she would be happy again. The next morning when Mr. Williams, standing at the foot of the ladder which led up into the loft of his story and a half cabin, and looking up at the- open landing above his head, called first, "Henry" and then "Oh. Henry." three or four times and getting no answer, had climbed to his sleeping place with the Intention of waking him up by some more vigorous measures, he found the loft empty. Henry was not there. "Blam'-d If the youngster ain't up and out a'ready." he said aloud, as he descended to the lower floor again; "wonder what's on hand to make him . turn out without being called?" "Henry'B up a'ready," he said to the toy's mother, as h passed from the log part into the frame kitchen. "Where d'ye s'pose he is; ain't gene down to the ferry before breakfast. Them children getting to thik. They just want to etay together. Can't do a thing without the othr aknowing It. The next thing I speck be to marry. I'll how "em." Whether Mrs. Williams felt a uudden premonition of - evil or whether, sh thought he husband had been mistaken in supposing that Henry had arisen I cannot tell, but she, laid down the hammer with which she was poundingr coffee and went out doors and ur the ladder as her husband had done. She was gone some minutes and returned with a scared look upon her face. She held In her hand a piece of pa-per on which wan scrawled in a big hand: "Cood-by. mother, I've gone away; don't be uneasy about m for I. will be a good boy and trust God; and when I return honie rich Nellie won't blush at

my name. Oh. mother. I would love to kiss you good-by, but I can't. I know that if you knew that I was going you would never permit, but I must, mother. In a few years I will return. Don't cry. Your affectionate son. HEN It Y." P. S. "Show Nellie." In hep. other hand she held the 'following tear-stained note for Nellie: "Nellie, Deat I love you and though you did too. but yon were ashamed cf my name yesterday, s I leave you. When I return I'll be rich and marrv you. You loving HENRY." (To Be Continued.)

.MOfl TIIF. BKST. Author Wh lime IJlven In Otir Hll-t Itlenl of Life. To the Club According to his own interpretation of the authors he has rrad each reader forms a conception of an Ideal. This miy differ in individuals who have real the same book, but ;ts an ideal Is a modl or standard of perfection the writer will recognize as th highest Ideal of life the best possible standard of excellence and goodness as applied to one's conduct and actions in hi intercourse with his fellow men. A great many authors have given us high ideals. It would not. do to restrict the number, for the Inspired writers, the authors of ancient time, and modern authors, among whom may be mentioned Milton, Shakspearc. Dante, Tennyson. Carlyl. Longfollow. Emerson nI Lowell, have each left their message with its divine breath of inspiration. With their deep and earnest thought They have poured f"i"th in song, and epic, and story, and drama such a wealth of beautiful truths that the reader seizes upon them as divine and recognizes t hat life has something more than comiwn interest in it. and that a high Ideal i worth striving for. The truths they convey cause men to turn from the sordid and selfish alms of life to the recognition of the beautiful and true, and to rei-T-nize and obey the promptings of that inward monitor that calls to higher and nobler living. Milton in his matchless "Paradise Lost" and "Paradise Regained." Dante In his "Divine Oommedii," Shakspeare in his dramas. Carlyh in his "Heroes and Hero Worship." Longfellow in his beautiful poems. Emerson iu his "Essays" and Lowell in his poems and oLhr wrtings have placed before us the be-if thought and the highest i leal. To have read these authors or only a few of thm, and that thoroughly. Is to have become acquainted with an ennobling current of thought, and t" have -nsciousiv or unconsciously formed :t high ideiM of life. T!v greatest message that com-?s to us from any author is the one that calls forth answering inspiration and causes the soul to look forward to the mistenshn.udod future with longing and aspiration. That author is truly great who has th power to vail forth the best effort and dideavor that lies within th? heart of heaven. To cause the earnest soul to peer beyond the narrow i-ontines of t:v present, to make that soul not only long for the beautiful and the good, but also to resolve to attain the best possible development, to make of life something more than a "fleeting dream." surely this is the noblest and highest mission of the author. When he does this, whether in prose or rhyme, he places before us the true meaning and purpose of life, firm which we may derive our highest ideal. "The poet," says James Russell Lowell in his lecture on "The Function of the Poet." is he who can best see and best sav what is ileal what belongs to the world of soul anl beauty. Whether he celt brate the brave and good man or the gods; or the beautiful as it appears in man or nature, something of a religious character still clings to him; he is the revealer of Deity. He may be unconscious of his mission; he miy be false to it; but in proportion as he is a greit pcet ho rises to the level of It the more ofien.' He does not always rebuke whtt is bad and base, but indirectly by making us feel what delight there is in the good and fair. If he besieges evil, it is with such Ireautiful engines of war (as Plutarch tells us of Demetrius) that the besieged themselves are charmed with them. Whoever reads the great poets cannot but be made better by it. for they always introduce him to a higher society, to a greater style of manners and of thinking. Whoever learns to love what is beautiful is made incapable of the low and mean and bad. A great poet is something more than an interpreter between man and nature; he is also an interpreter between mm and his own nature. It is he that gives us those keywords, the possession of which makes us masters of all the unsuspected treasure-caverns of thought and feeling and beauty which open under the dusty path of our daily life." Surely this mission is fulfilled when the poet or prose-writer produces within the reader a feeling of lcr.ging that is unsatisfied, that turns not away unquestioning, but stops and considers th.? purpose of life, and straightway begins, however humble, to seek for the ideal; that is not satisfied with mere theories, but attempts with all the enthusiasm of an enlightened soul to find this ideal, to strive, and toil, and work without ceasing. To arouse this intricate human soul, to provide for it a message that sheds a beckoning radiance that leads toward the purer atmosphere of thought and feeling, '.hat shculd be the purpose of him who creates an ideal. "The mlssi m of the man of letters." says William Winter, in one of his happiest veins, "is to teach the heart; to kindle the imagination; to ennoble the mind. He is the Interpreter between the spirit of beauty that is in nature and the general intelligence and sensibility of mankind. He rets to music the pageantry and the pathos of human life and in keeps alive In the soul the holy enthusiasm of devotion to the ideal. He honors and perpetuates heroic conduct, and he teaches, by many devices of art by story, and poem, and parable, and essay, and drama purity of life, integrity to man, and faith In Cod. He is continually causing you to see what onportunitles of nobility your life affords; continually delighting you with high thoughts and beautiful pictures. He does not preach to you. He does not attempt to regulate your specific actions. He does not assail you with the hysterical scream of the reformer. He does not carp, and vex, and meddle. He whispers to you in your silent hours of love and heroism and holiness and immortality, and you are refreshed and strong and come forth into the world smiling at fortune and bearing blessrings in your hands." Th1 is Indeed the mission ii the authoi When hi doe3 not achieve this standard he cannot hope to grow or continue in favor with mankind. Unless he reaches this high mark, the rolling years will soon consign his works and his memory to the dark waters of oblivion. The author who does not create ideals for us or strengthen those already formed has failed of his purpose in life. Unless the truths he enunciates teach us to make the most of this, our present life, to use and not abuse each talent, to brighten the pathway of others less fortunately situated, to Improve each opportunity as It is -presented, then has he labored In vain. The quarries of the mind which he has not touched contain the brightest gems and richest stores, and for some other and .happier genius they must await. But Milton and Shakspeare and Dant and Tennyson and Emerson and the long array of authors who have delivered their message to mankind, have placed before us the highest thoughts and empha dzed the great purpose of life. The ideal which they have created, or rather our Ideal of life as- formed through communion with them, may be unattainable, and It Is for better that it should be, for if It were possible for the earthborn to reach the shining summit where stands enshined his Ideal. thHr Individual effort would poon cease. To b able to reach our Ideal would take

away the rest that gives to life Its most rrotent imoetus. Tt Is nlwsv the unat

tainable that calls forth endeavor and effort and heroism. He who would attain the nearest to the Meal life must necessarily follow in the precepts as given by the Divine Master, whose torn hands and bleeding feet sod thorn-crowned head were the reward of His earthly pilgrimage, but whose life and thought has moulded the centuries and still remains the most potent Influence for the upbuilding and : uplifting of mankind. The ideal life is outlined in the sentence of holy scripture: "lie ye therefore perfect, even s your Father in heaven is perfect." This Is the standard toward which we are to strive, but which it is not possible to attain this, side the narrow confines of the grave. Eut surely we need net fdint cr weary in well doing, for if we "press toward the mark for the high calling of -Ood in Christ Jesus." we may prevail over the hardships and temptations of life, and will then realize the idenl which we have created in that "world not made with hands, eternal In th" heavens." for to "him that overcomes h. Ood glveth a crown." "REX AR DYS?. Indianapolis, April 1. nnn wonns. A Plennant Letter on n Pleatmnt Jnlject by Mohn' "Wife." Dear Howards There is no way In whieh we can do good to others with so little expen5 and trouble as by kindness in our conversation. "Word?," it Is said, sometimes "cost nothing." At any rate kind words cost no mor than harsh one, and they may always be among the best tokens of a desire to make others happy. We should think J kind words wo-ild be very common, they are so cneap. p.ut there are persons who draw on their kindness with more reluetances than on their pockets. If the happiness of others is not motive enough for kind words, we may find motive in their Influence on ourselves. The habit cf using them will at length i conform our feelings to our speech. We shall become kind not only in our language and In our hearts. Who but the Infinite One can fathom the depth and breadth to which kind words mav go? We should fram and hang up in the memory, if not rn the wall, this motto; "Kind words never die." Since worts have creative iwer either I for good or ill we should be careful that j only the best are used. It is with mu h pleasure that I introduce to th" ?Iul a new member, who will ro known as "f Meaner,. " 1 trust she will rccive a cordial welcome as she is worthy of due resei t and sh tdls me she will take pleasure in any duty assigned her. as she desires to be a worker rather than a drone in the "Howard" hive.

Shades of brown are much used for girls' dresses. Besides the favorite tobacco brown there are various tones of tan, and these light shades, in serge especially, wear well and will even bear washing, although brown was formerly considered, and with good reason, a tint not to be depended upon. It used to be prone to fade In the sun and spot in the rin and "run" if it got wet. but the new browns seem to be as fast as any other color. Scotch plaids are also sold for children's wear and are always pretty and suitable, whether the scarlet mixture be selected or the darker one3 of blue, green or brown. The red plaid-s are soft in color in spite of their brightness and are very pretty for young or little girls' frocks, trimmed with rows of narrow black velvet ribbon. Little French girls are wearing ecru straw hats trimmed with wide plaid ribbon and cream lace. CHILDREN'S COSTUMKS. A good model for a child's dress in thin wool goods is shown, having a sailor bloute with a wide collar, puffed sleeves with deep cuffs and an accordion plaited skirt. Accordion plaiting it still .ysed for women as well as children and seems to be a permanent addition to 'the wardrobe. It is fhown again in a long serge coat for a little girl. The body of the coat is plain, but an accordion plaited cape mounted on a round yoke is worn over it. Jackets have been brought out for very small children, to be slipped on over the thin white frocks on cool das. One was of fine sky blue flannel rut with a wide collai. It was trimmed with white lace and had a double row of pearl buttons, in front. Another wa-s of striped etuff and was exactly like a sailor's pea jacket, except that It was only about ten inches long and narrow li proportion. The boy's uit In the accompanying cut is made of dark blue cheviot. The Jacket is worn open over a vest of striped jersey material. The girl's costume is of hazel nut brown serge. The skirt Is trimmed with bands -of narrow black velvet ribbon. The full bodice fastens behind, and the waist is encircled by a sash of black velvet ribbon. The sleeve has a ."balloon puff from shoulder to elbow, ending. in a ruffle trimmed with velvet ribbon. A wide collar covers th shoulders, and a standing collar of velvet finishes the neck. .

THEIR ANNUAL CONCLAVE.

AddfeB of (irand (niumnndrr Johnson Reviewing the Kusine of tbe rM Vmr-Indiana to Well Ilenrescnled in the Triennial nt floafon "et lriir Otttcera Klrrtrd The Conclave to lie t'lonrri This .Morning. The fortieth annual conclave of the grand conimandery Knights Tmeplar of Indiana, convened Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the masonic temple. There are thirty commanderies in the state 4nd alt are represented. The conclave will close at noon today. Simeon S. Johnson of Jefferronvllle presided as grand commander and immediately after- the assembling of the conclave read his annual address. After welcoming the templars Grand Commander .Tohn?on, in his addre.es. reviewed in detail the work of the past yar. Speaking of those who had been ealled from the order during the year by death he said: "Death has been busy among the fratres, and has removed from our midst fifty-one of the loved sir knights of our jurisdiction. Valiant and courteous in their lives they have passed across tbe .narrow line dividing the known from the unknown. Our beloved fratres are gone, but the memory of their good deeds and many virtues shall remain to us precious mementoes." Of inspection tlie address said: "The wisdom of our action in postponing the inspection of commanders until ISPt is certainly apparent. The confusion attending the advent of the new ritual, the season of the world's fair and the depression in business, rendering necessarygreat economy in 'the comma lul u ies and among sir knights, has demonstrated that our action was right. This inspection will occur in the fall of 1891 unless otherwise ordered. There has been some criticism in this matter of 'Inspection. as there will always be, I presume, but in my opinion this inspection ought to be made by the grand officers in person." Tlie address state;! the new ritual adopted last year was satisfactory in every way and no changes would be necessary for many years to come. In regard to the conclave at Boston next year the gianl commander said: "The nailer t the trienni.tl at Hoston in 189.1 should be carefully and thoroughly considered. I am informed that many grand anil sulxrdinate commanderies have already secured suitable headquarters and apartments for sir knights. Indiana, at Denver, had as commodious headquarters- If not the best as any grand remmandery, and it ought to be the wish of every sir knight that our fame and good standing shall not be lowered. I am not fully informed what has been done by our committee in the matter of triennial, but a full report will be made of all action to date. Our Boston fratres have made much progress in getting ready, and will leave nothing undone to secure a successful meeting. I may be. pardoned in expressing the wish that Indiana shall do her whole duty from the fat of claiming New England as my first hame." Orand Recorder William H. Smythe submitted his annual report showing amount on hand to be J7.238.T7. The report showed there are 3,309 templars In the state.
