THE MAN HIGHER UP

By HENRY RUSSELL MILLER

CHAPTER XXVII. THE BEGINNING <3f TJIE E-\n. IT was lons before sleep came to any in t,lie house ofvSeath that night. To Eleanor it did not come until the first streak of gray showed in the east. Then she fell into a light, . dreamful slumber that lasted only until broad daylight had cothe. She was awakened by the sun shining into her eyes. It was the mating time. From' without came the blithe call of bird to mate. She stirred contentedly, it was the first night she and Bob McAdoo had passed under the same roof. . The thought was like a caress. She arose and went to her bath, to emerge fresh and glowing. She went downstairs to find the hall deserted 1 -by all save the sleepy manservant. “Is-no one down?” she asked him. ‘‘Mr. McAdoo, madam,” he answered, struggling manfully to stifle a yawn. “Beg pardon, madam. He’s been out these two hours—went to send a telegram, he said.” N She passed on out to the wide vine covered veranda. There she stood, drawing in deep breaths of the pure spring air. “Let me not be too happy. Let me , not forget that there is a tomorrow.” 1 From down the street came the clang of swift footsteps. Her heart beat time to the stride. She knew who the pedestrian was. He halted close to her. Once again he caught her in that grip of the eyes from which she could not free herself. “You are like no woman I have known,” he said slowly. “Yet you hare known none but good women.” He shook his head proudly. “That is not the difference.” “I have given you little reason to think me good.” she said sadly. ■ “You are good; I know that. But were yon the wickedest woman in the world still you would be the one woman to me, Eleanor! Eleanor!" Tie breathed. • “Ah!" she cried. “You must not! We dare not"— , “How I love you!" “Ah!" She drew a long, shuddering breath. Then her head went back s)rondlv “Why not? Why may our lips not say what our hearts and eyes have said, since we ask nothing? I love you. I always shall. 1 can’t help it.” v“Do you 'want to help it?” “See!”

She stepped down uoe stair, where her face was on a level with his. Fully and freely she gave him of her eyes, that through them lie might see down into her heart, afire with the love surpassing, that asked nothing, that was content with loving. “Eleanor, Eleanor!” he breathed again. “Yes.” She met his eyes steadily, fearlessly. “Even though we may never know the happiness of sharing one life I shall always he yours and you mine. Life can’t take that from _us.” He turned away in the anguish of 4 temptation. Ilis big body trembled. Ilis voice was hoarse as he spoke. “I know now \vhy meh give up honor for a woman. Ho you know how easy it would be for me to throw everything else overboard and seek happiness with just you in spite of everything even now?” 41 Look at me!” Slowly he turned once more to meet her eyes. “You will not tempt me, will you? You are stronger than I: you mustn’t let me be weak. Do y6u think I don’t know? How oft§u during the last two years I have prayed that you might be weak enough to come to me and that I might be weak enough to yield! But we must ( not. It would be a cowardly happiness. It wouldn’t be clean. Until he is found and we know he is reclaimed ,we could never be really happy; there would always,be a stain on our love. We know what selfishness brings. You belong to the people of this state. Our false happiness would cripple* you. because you would always have the knowledge

that you hadn’t been true to yourself. And if you aren’t true to yourself how can you be true to your trust? You won’t tempt me, will you?” she pleaded, her voice growing more and more unsteady. “Because I—l am so happy in just being near you. When I am with you something keeps pulling, pulling me to you. I am almost past the resisting point.- Don’t tempt 3e. yet I want you to tempt me—you ust be strong for both of us. "And remember.” she went on, trying to be strong—“remember that it is harder for me than for you.' Tomorrow. after the funeral, I go back to my little work, which, after all. is only a scanty refuge, while you go on to your great task- that often will shut me out of your mind and heart. It will always be that—your work always first, I always second." “No!” he said roughly. ‘‘lt will never bo that. You are first—you always aball be.” “Ah! I wanted you to say that. But yoo mustn’t. Aud it mustn’t be true. That to the selfish part of my love I

must always fight to keep down even if—even if we must not always be_ apart. You mustn't let me be selfish. If you place me first, if you don’t sacrifice me when it is right, you can’t be true to yourself, you won’t be my man. You are so strong. You mustn't come to weakness through me” “Yet you say you are not good!” he cried. <, The vine wreathed veranda hid them from the world. She went to a chair, fell into it and buried her face in her hands. Harsh, dry sobs shook her. Bob was helpless .to comfort her. j Awkwardly, as one unused to caress, ; he put out his hand and let it rest upon her hair. The unaccustomed j touch sent fire racing through his ! veins. J “Eleanor!’’ he murmured hoarsely. Slie caught his big hand and pressed it to her cheek. “I ani not good. I am only weak and shameless. You ■; miist be ntfioag'-Hjr take me " ••( Lie sat down beside her and took J both her hands in his firm, strong ; clasp. . ' ‘ : j “Dear!" How strangely the \yord | : dwelt upon his tips! "Dear, look at j me. Two years, ago 1 found myself, ■ The people of my city trusted me J when they' would have been justified j j in crushing me.” * [ “But you weren’t guilty. Katherine ’ has told me.” “1 wasn't directly responsible for the crime that was done. But 1 don’t 1 hide behind that. It was done for me, and I accepted the benefit. But my people didn’t know it. Nevertheless they trusted me. They have helped me to grow stronger at home and oyer the state, The good people here—they have trusted me and strengthened me. In a few weeks I am to be nominated i for governor. I can be elected, I think. Great power has been placed iu my I hands. 1 aiu under the most sacred ! obligations to the people of this state, j to John Dunmeade, to him who is | dead. I can do much. These two years 1 have tried to atone, 1 have tried to kill the ugly self that ruled ! me. I thought I had succeeded. And now I find I have failed. I am ready j at your word to forget everything but myself, but you. We must start a new life together. The wealth that Murchell has left me I will give to Dunmeade. All the knowledge 1 have gained, all the power I have won. all the power that has been given to me for a purixJse not my own. must be t thrown aside. All Mure hell’s work j will have gone for nothing. John Dunmeade. left alone, will be beaten. The people who have trusted me will j be helpless. I must give these things tip because, having been weak once, ' I dare not fa/e the responsibility of i weakness in power, it would be easy, ! Every nerve in ine aches to do it. If you say the word I will give up these I things for you. and 1 will never re- ! ! proacli you. never blame you." H*» 01 used questioning!,;'. While he :

was speaking her eyes had not left, bis. She was very white. “My answer is—l love yon!” “And thnh means—no?” ' “And ttint means—no!” f Their eyes,fell away. She leaned back in her chair and looked out into space. Half unconsciously she freed one hand from his clasp and with it caressed the backs of his bauds. He watched the gesture sadly. o After awhile. “We need each other to be strong, don’t we?” she said softly-' He gave no answer. “1 am afraid." she went on latex In dreamy, detached phrases—“] am afraid to hope. I have always felt that he would return and thought that witli his coming every tiling would be right. Now I dare not hope. All at once it is clear. Ah. I can't bear to think of that. We are uot our own." Suddenly be caught her hands to bis lips and covered them with rough, passionate kisses. She let him. “We are not our own And it is something, oh. everything, to know that we have had this hour, with its

bitterness and its Sweetness, and to know that we have been strong and always shall be!” “Eleanor*! Eleanor!” “And we shall always be together, for always you will know that I am praying for you and loving you, as you will be loving me!” The temptation flew away aud left them, if not at peace,' with a new courage. . Once he turned to her and cried. ”1 would not be without this love, even

though it means heartache!” “Nor would 1. And somehow—now —this happiness is so real, so, wonderful, the heartache so far aw4y, so Impossible, 1 have faith!” Concluded Next Week.

Spiritism Said to Be Demonism.

A most interesting little brochure has recently come off the press setting forth with Bible proofs that the communications received by and through Spiritist Mediums is of Demon origin. The writer traces his subject through the Scriptures from the time when certain of the holy angels became disobedient. He proves from the Scriptures that these fallen spirits sonate the 1/uman dead, with whose past history, spirits, though invisible, are thoroughly acquainted. lie shows that they also frequently personate the Creator and the Redeemer, commanding their deceived apes to pray, do pen;i nee. etc. This, however, is merely to lead them on and to Bring them more thoroughly under demoniacal control. Sometimes by breaking down the natural barrier, the human, will, they possess their victim, and rule him more or less to liis ruin—frequently rending such to the mad-house. Numerous illustrations, Scriptural and otherwise, are given. The price of the little book is but ten cents; it should be in the hands of .all interested in Spiritism or who have friends- interested therein. Enclose five two-eent stamps to the Bible and Tract Society, 17 Hicks street, Brooklyn, N. Y.

Victims of Superstition.

Eighteen girls of Vasard, Translyvania, have been drowned In the River Alnta. There is a local tradition that any young woman who bathes in the river at midnight will be married before the year has expired. Twenty young women from the town, desirous of obtaining husbands,, went at the appointed time to bathe. The current was very strong and ewept the girls away, only two being saved. r

POULTRY

PROPER HOUSING OF POULTRY, r Chief Requisites of Building Are Dryness, Perfect Ventilation and Plenty of Sunlight.

(By N. R. GILBERT.)

Frequently poultry keepers complain bitterly of the failure of their fowls to show profit, when jhe whole fault lies in defective housing. Poultry lead an entirely artificial life when they live penned in a run, or even" when at liberty and provided with a sleeping-house—that is to say they have their, food provided them aind do not sleep in the trees, as their natural instinct would teach them. It is simply the difference between sleeping in a house and sleeping in trees that upsets them. When they do the latter/they may not lay well but they keep their health. More than half the diseases 1 modern fowls ~suffeir are caused primarily by this defective housing. , , _■* ■ The chief requisites of a house are that it should be weather-proof, so that whatever the inclemency of the season,-the fowls keep dry. It must be provided with ample Ventilation and should have a sunny aspect. The sun is life to all animals, and the more fowls get of it, the better. Yet, sometimes, fowl - houses are placed in dark, secluded corners, and built to admit hardly any light. A

A colony-house that supplies plenty of fresh air to the chicks. Six feet long, two feet six inches wide, two feet four inches high in front, eighteen inches high in the back. poultry-housq should always, if possible, be placed on ground sloping slightly away from it, then in the wet weather the rain drains away. If the ground is quite level the rain off the roof shows a tendency to remain in the form of puddles. A trench should be dug to carry it away, or better still, there should be a spout on the roof to carry the wet away down to a down spout connected ■with a surface drain.

It is important that the ground around the house, as well as the house itself, be kept dry, as fowls never do well on wet land. Special attention should be paid to the roof. The eaves should overlap some three inches, and it is all the better if built of stouter wood than the walls. There is no necessity to cover the roof with, felt, provided it receives a good dressing of tar at first and a further coat each year. On no account make the roof of corrugated zinc. 1 Such a house will be cold in the winter and hot in the summer. If the poultry-keeper has some sheets of this very useful article —for such it certainly is—make a roof of thin boards put the zinc on top. For the floor, the earth needs to be beaten down quite hard and a dressing of some inches of sand or light dry earth put. on top. If the soil is clayey, it is bette«- to have a w r ooden floor, for it must be dry. In any case, observe scrupulous cleanliness, removing all droppings once a week and taking care there is never any smell. Ventilation is a subject better understood now than formerly. We indulge in more of it for ourselves and more for the fowls. Yet for them as for ourselves, we must not forget that the thing can be overdone and that a good deal depends upon the location, of the house and the outside temperature.

IMPROVEMENT OF FARM EGGS

Government Bulletin Contains Result of Careful Study of Industry in State of Kansas. Every reader should read circular 141 entitled “The improvement of the Farm Egg” issued by the department of Agriculture, Washington, , D. C Among other things this contains the results of the careful study made of the industry in the state of Kaiisas, where an effort has been made to bring about an organization of the egg industry .and the co-operation of the state authorities for the purpose of (l compelling the traders in eggs to buy on a quality basis only. There is no question in our mind but that the result of the investigation in Kansas will be that the “case count” system will be discarded in the very near future and there will be substituted in its place the “loss-off” method of buying, says an exchange. When this goes into force it will be squarely up to the egg producer to handle his product so that when it is marketed it will be In first class condition. We predict that there will be a very radical change in the next few years in this matter and as a word to the wise is sufficient, it will be enough to again suggest to our readers that they send to the department of agriculture, Washington, D. C., for this circular.
