She spread n second slice of bread, and poured Into little piak-sprigged cop her Own ifai I er allowance of milk. In view of sneb abject misery, what mattered milklese tea and a shortened rStiOB of bread and butler'.' The girl slipped around to the kitchi n door and st I there, rag-." d, unkempt, altogether wretched. Thusa watched her compassionately, as she ate and drank like a s'.,n. I anunil for the time being .-he was little more. Taking the cup from the irriniy lingers, and going back to wipe the shelves. Thusa brought out a third slice of bread and butter. By gentle queetionlng, site learned that the eirl's name was bill Huniell; that she UBM 1! years old; had liwd w th a woman in New York, who beat snd abaaad her, tryiog to make her st.-al; and that she had run away; tramping and beggtug by day; sleeping in barns at night; honestly trying to get work at the farmhouses; and nervously warned off the prembjai o' most, with a few cold pieces, as if she had smallpox, that dread of rural districts. Ber clothing was literally raus -fastened about her. heaven knows bowl yet there was a certain frank and independent look about the small. Sharp features, despite the stolen prunes. Thusa's staned maternal feelings yearned over the child. She brought her fa to all by the tire. then. Softly closiOg the door between kitchen sad sit t ing room, she told her mother the pitiful story, Mrs. Hill let tbe tea jrow aald in bat bub IB she listened.

drank the last of her ten. and ate the remainder of her bread und butter, looking fondly ut her little brownlowered plate sj she did mi. It wa- long past the hour for&teadygoing villagers to be in bed. J. ill Bardell, fed) washed, consoled, was sleeping like an infant, in MM of Thusa's lavender-scented bedgowna. Her benefactress sat hy the small window, ga,ng out across the fields. She was restless, und her thoughts were of her old lover. Ministering to the starved and bomelese waif had set her tbiaklag of what might have heen, if sh had not been so print 1 and defiant in those early days. Henry had surely been entitled to 10 explanation. Alt. but that bitter, reproachful look of his! She could not forget it. He might have bad MOTO faith in her. instead of marrying Cicely Mellen within a month. If he ha I waited, he would have seen that Nathan BttrBside was nothing more than an ordinary friend. (Alas! be bad seen it, after be had forged hie own fetters.) So pride and regret fid love battled in the lonely heart. The aJghi wore on, and hill Bürdet d roamed lavender-scented dreams, it was halfway t. dawn when Thusa reproaching lu i "If for wasted time and strength, crept into lud beside her adopted child. 'Henry Gleason w:i also beeping i e. : I with memory. chance word with Nathan Ittirnside had led tO kB explanation of that lumaner evening ride so lang ago. Was it too late to ue for pardon? Would Thun be deficient in proper pride, if she would listen to i second avowal? Bbe -tili remained young and lovable In bis eyes.

Henry Oleason stand at the odd little figure, who stood stock-still after delivering her message. Miss Thusy! Was the world cornin to an aast? Then the explanation occurred to him. ThUM must have sent this queer child to his next r ighbor, Mrs, rTllaon, w ho sold egps regularly, and the girl had mistaken I he house. A sudden thought whirled into hie mipd. Not being widely read in the poets, the line Take lbt t NStl the gods provide tlier, did not. occur to him. hut be acted on the principle implied. He took the bnsket and the money, and bade the child come in. He was alone, the housekeeper hnving gone to the next town to do some "trading." and the hired boy was plowing. Raster g ' Thusa should have such an Raster basket as BO young girl in the villnge could bnnst. In the bottom of Hk basket, he nrrnnged two dozen of the finest, freshest egg he could find In the henhouse. Then he wrote a hurried note not high-s-ound-faff, but with true lore In every line. Truly hr wns making tip for lost time. He fclipped the money Inside, if aled the

letter and lali it on the eggs, folding a paper over ali. Then hi- went to the housekeeper's cherished w imlovv plants Bad loaded tin- basket to the tiy handle with Laster Jibes und races, "Ain't there no change from the quarter'.'" asked tdiarp, city bred I.ill, looking BUH Htsljl ftoin him to the flowers and back. "Inside- in an envelope. Miss Thuta will änderet and." "Did bo spose I'd lose it, If he gavs it to me in iny hand'.'" said I.ill to herself rather scornfully, trudging off With her fragrant load. A little Inter, the flower-laden basket was dumped on the Hills' kitchen table by breathless Liil. who had come as near to running as the safety at the eggs would permit. "He sent von all these lots an' lots of flowers. Mis'-. Thusy. an' the eggs an' change is at the bottom of the basket. He said vou would understand." He! What was the child talking about f "Didn't you go to Mrs. Wilson's, Li I IV" "I Went to th" first white house with green shutters" Mi-s Thusa dropped white and trembling Into the littl kitchen rock r "where the bene wa a squawking an' Ihe man that come to the door e;ivc nie the eggs an' the (lowers. 1 didn't see BO woman anwberea.M Thusa sprang saddenly from the Chair and liftcu out the flower-.

Thusa wept and smiled by turns over her old lover's note, in vv hieh be told her be would be With her in en hour. Then, womanlike, she got up and began to freshen and improve her faded face and hair, her plain garmenta, But the greatest besutlfier wai the safl light in her changed eyes.

CIVILIZATION AND MONEY. ProBreaa Has Always FolUweO the FroSuetlon of the Preeloas Met als Kilver Uesuunr llsatlo. My Investigation lead me IBld Senator Stewart, of Nevada, the other day, to the conclusion that ererj jretediag civilisation has corue into exiti nee with productive mines and disappeared with tli. ir exhaustion. Thie is beoatiM the volume of money hss been limited to the supplv of gold and silver, liosperity and progress as invariably follow an increasing supply ol money u night follows day; and poverty and want have always followed the exhaUftioa Of gOkl and silver mines. Mining for gold and silver during the ,4N year:, preceding the discover of Ameiica was an uaknowB industry. Tbe property of what waa once the Koinan empire was gradually drawn together bj the ilea. lily grasp of contraction into feudal trustb. A ftw feudal lord- rioted in luxury, while the great mass of the people became serfs and were sold with the land. t.old and lllver from tbe BOW world revolutionised the i Id, and in M yens alter Mexico and South America commenced pouring cut their treaturea a Luther appeared, and all burope was in the throes of reformation. The new money gave new fe and created modern civilization. For 8 " years and until the commencement of the present BBBtUfJ the product of silver. with a little goal, continued t Bow without lamatlon Thea the BpsniahAmerican wars laterrupted mining, and Europe Suffered financial depression for marly hulf a century. In the United States the money famine was Ii - ditaatroui than in Lurope, because the great Mississippi valley was open to all who would come and make a home. When the supply of public leads was fast being eahsuated, and when Lurope was in the throes of revolution, the gold of California and Australia CBBBe to the rescue and Created at) era of prosperity throughout the world which had bo parallel in previous history. The cupidity of the creditor claes to enhance the value of money am! obligations payable in money induced Lurope and America to cease printing legal tender upon silver and to print it Upon gold alone. The demand for gold was so Increased hy this legislation thai in BO years SB ounce '..f gold would buv as much property in genMai a two ounces of gold would have bought In 1S70. The United States obtained partial relief from this drastic contraction by the Bfand-AUtson act of lH?s and the o-called Sherman act of 1890, by which over $580.000.000 of new inonev was printed on silver and put in Circulation. The repeal of all laws for coining silver into money took p.r.ee in ISO.'i, and thereupon the business of the country was paralyzed. In the last four y ars. according to the fiirei ;. r o tbe mint, there has liecn an output from the mines of the world of over a thousand millions of gold. This enormous and ur prcceiK nted output of gold has reduced its purchasing power, it. what is the same thing, bai enhanced the price of property. The worshipers of gold all attention to the fact thai the eoaatrj is more prosperous now than it was three years ago, ai d irgBC that the geld standard has accomplished this result. They overlook otir large war expenditures and the fact that while the supply of gold was shrieking prices were falling, and that prices did not cease to fall until the vupply of gold was greatly augmented, if they would gtra this matter a little thought they would see that it fa the quantity and not the quality of gold which has given prosperity, because the quality of gold dining all our years of adversity was the same as it now is. The cheek in the fall of prices and the advance alria.lv gained by the new supply of gold proves the contentions of the silver men. They r.ver pretended that there was anything in the quality of silver that would n eke gocd limes, but Ihej dfd contend, and do now contend, that an incrcne In the volume of n n v is what makes good tiir.rs. and that silver would aeBompllsh that desirable object as well as gold. 1 Will not elaborate, but w ill defy snyone to give an instance of great prosperity in any country, in any age. when there was not at the snme time an increasiflg supply of money! and I also defy anyone to BBBM a time of prosperity when there w as a shrinking volume of siooey. The limitation of the ni nly of 1 ' t.i der money to the commodity goid creates n I actuating measure of value. If the gold Vtandard had been adopted on the discovery of the precious netall in the new world Ihe feudal trusts WÖuld not have been disturbed by Ihe output of gold. Von Humboldt, the best authority we have, tells us that from the discovery of America until 1 on, 44 ounces of silver were produced to one of gold, and we IrhOW, ns matter f fnet. that nearly all the gold ihn! was produced during that period was found in combination with sliver. If silver had not been used ss money the silver mines of the new world would have remained untouched end very little. If any, gold would have Keen produced. It was the silver mining of the new world v.'hich quadrupled the nmonnt of coin In the civllfaed world during th first hundred years after the discovery of gold and sliver in Mexico and Ronth America. It waa silver mining that enhanced 1he price of property during that same eentore more than 800 per cent.. Increased the land holders of Greet Britain from lo.ooo to ino.ooo, made tenants, IbbbV lords aad serfs tenants.

Hear in Blind that this tremendous sum is all in cash, and is based upon 1100,000,000 of capital stock, of which there fa no telling how much fa water! When we consider that there is in this country a trust capitalisation of over sT. ,0,000,000 of other concerns, producing incomea proportionately enormous for the robber barons, for they are all raking la money, and aU of them doing it in accordance with the Scotch proverb, and that the system has grown to its present gigantic proportions under William McKinley, is fostered by him and will be perpetuated by his administration, with added to it the impounding of nil the circulating medium by the batiks, mid pet Standard Oil banks at that, may it not occur to American citiens who dMre more than the mere alfayiag of the pangs of hunger to ask: "Ian it be possible for any admiistration to be worse?"
