Nalbro burst Into a laugh. It was his hearty, rollicking laugh as much as any thing else that had made 'Brother Jaquett' a favorite in the neighborhood. 'At least you don't mistake a fellow. Uncle Joe!' holding out his hand. 'Of course when I choose I need never touch another glass, and I choose to-day. I'm going hotue now.' 'Come up to nigbt, then,' mounting again. 'I was down looking at your Firedvseveral lime*, Nalbro. I've been studying out your invention. I'll write to some engine builders I know, if you'll allow me.' •We'll talk about It, Colonel.' Jaquett laughed as be went up the hill, but the old man's anxiety touched his sore, angry heart. Cortrell understood as much about machinery as one of bis own Saxony sheep, and, hating trouble as he did. could not have done more than this if Nalbro had been his son. •I'll not disappoint th«» old man. I'll not disappoint any of them,' thought Jaquett, vaulting over the fence into his father's fisld. 'I've proved that I can drink the accursed stuff and be my own mav^r. Now I've done with It.' His pace slackened as he eamo near the house. He had not been at home for a fortnight.
They did not know that he was hi.? own master now. He wished that they did know. However deep had been the agony ot his mortification and disgraoe, he had as little relish as other young men for confession or open penance.
The Colonel trotted home with a lighter heart. The boy made of the right atufl he would come out all right. Besides, so far ai Oortrell could discover, the ouly harm doce an yet was to himself there was a vague rumor about town that he had been drinking hard, but Nalbro bad kept himself so hidden away on the other side of the river that no one apparently had as yet mn him Intoxlcatm). 'Jenuy,' thought the Col one!, 'would have said I ought to have told bim of the rain he eould bring on his father, and I wish I had. But ho has sworn off now. It's all right.'
There was a stillness and gloom about the house when Nalbro reached it, like that of death. He stepped on the porch and saw old Sjphy at work inside, for the first time in her lire not crooning a hymn. In the dining room Jaokey *wt tale, with her feet on the fender, staring moodily in the fire. The room was dusty and disordered, the sun glaring in through the unshaded windows. If Nalbro had eeen her weeping for htm as deed, it would not have been more ef shock to him. 'I've come nigh to killing the girl.' he aaid. *8be think* Its all over Uta me.' He threw up the windew and went in.

CHAPTER VIII.
A inontb later, Colonel Cortrell, trotIng up the river road one afternoon, on his famous roan, caugbt sight of a heavily built man swinging along the loot path beside bim. His countenance grew anxious and grave, but he called oat heartily to bim. 'Hillo, Nalbru!' and Tode up suddenly directly across bis path.
Jaquett stopped reluctantly, muttering some reply, and did not lift bis eyta above the Baddle bow. But the Colonel went on volubly, sighting a distant steamer by bis whip, to avoid looking down at the haggard face by his knee. 'Whore have you been this age, boy? Come up to-night. You've not seen the terriers I bought, and Jonny has some new screeds of song lor you. Come up. All well at home?' and turned hastily off, without waiting for replj.
Jaquett thrust his hands in his pockets, and strode on. Then, looking up, he caught the Colonel's eye, and beckoned to him, leaning on the holster when the horne was beside htm. 'Colonel Cortrell, did you know where Zhave been lately, when you spoke to me just now?' 'Yes, I knew, Nalbro.' He waited a moment, and then slipped down from the horse, drew the bridle under his arm,and walked beside Jaquett, leaning on his shoulder. •I've been sowing my wild oats, I suppose they told you,' with a discord ant laugh. 'That's a phrase I've used myself to excuse boys who made beasts of themselves before they were men.'
Colonel Cortrell did not answer. 'Have you nothing to say to ine? Why, there has not been a cursed meddler in the town who has not harangued rhe, and said it weuld soon be too late. You think perhaps it is too late?' fiercely. •Do you suppose I could not stop when I pleased?' •Why should I advise yoo, Jaquett? You area umu as I am.'
Jackey turned with a shrill cry, flew I could bardly keep I tn Mm h«ld him tight Dressing her he wanted to be alone to tell God that- ne vnSl/nl..'

and began setting the
table, vehement as usoaT, but silent and
If Jackey Lad but kissed bim and gone! But Jackey did not go. All her outraged love for him, her indignation, was throbbing in her heart to bursting Was she to watch his father sink into old age in the course of a few weeks, become an object of pity to the whole town, because Nalbro chose to gratify his foul appetites, and could she welcome Nalbro back again without a word of remonstrance or warning?
She took down a little square mirror from the wall, and held it before his purple face and swollen eyes. 'O Nalbro! is this ray brother?' she cried. She thought that would touch bim home.
His face grew colorless. He took the mirror from her and put it .down, the face to the wall. 'I think you mistake, Jackey,' he said quietly, and would have walked away but she sank on the floor, clasping bis knees. •I would let out every drop of my blood to see you again the man you
•I believe you would.' ». 'You have forgotten me and your father and Gcd. You have forgotten your own manhood. You have been blind to everything but your own selfish gratification.'
Was the pleasure so great, then, that you could give up all for it?' 'It was no pleasure, after the first day or two,'putting bis hand drearily to his head. 'I can't explain it to you, Jackey. Two nights I came home and hung about fhe house. I sat by the old walnut there, thinking of all our old days— of father and you, and of tbe chance of Jenny, which I was throwing away trying to keep myself here out of temptation. But I could uot. I crept down again to tbe place where I could get the liquor. But it was no pleasure.'
Jackey's sympathy was almost exhausted. 'It was a temptation—nothing more'she said sharply. 'Everybody has temptations that has a soul to be saved.' 'It seems to me to be something different from that,'said Nalbro, humbly. 'I'll bring you some books to read that have plainer woods than any I know.' She went out, and in a moment came

Jackey met him.
Father Jaquett lsugbed nervously. 'If* a cold night. You're very—very comfortable here, my son,' rubbing bis hands together, and carefully avoiding a -'mice at Nalhro's face.
Nalbro laid his band on the old man's coat, ou wbicb the falling rain bad froKf began to speak,but st»yjp«d suddenly. Mr Jaquett pulled off the coat briskly. 'P«oh! that is nothing! I am uite dry. Don't be vexed, dear boy.' _vbey sat aide by side, looking into the fire, but never at each other. Presently father Jaquett said, clearing his throat: •Mason here to-day, Nalbro, and offers to take all of Jackey's salt meat at higher than market price. That lt» good news,' *\H,*.hat is good news.' •Did you know that Joe Hibbard bad gone South again?' •I did not bear it.'
Altera while, tbe old man's trembling hand stole over and clasped Nalbro*e fingers, resting on bis knee then pressed them hard and tight. •I've come borne. lather.' *Yes, Naii.ro.' 1 hat was all. They were silent for a while, and then father Jaquett began to talk again of the news of the farm. It brought Nalbro baok into bis own self as no assurance of forgiveness could have done. He took off his boots and thrust bia feet into tbe slippers which he had (Hit worn for a month, and presently began, as tutua!, to poke the fire, and lonuge reetleaely out of one chair into another, as he talked and laughed. Tbeee four weeks were fading away like a horrible dream. Father Jaquett, when be bad accomplished this, was glad to get away quietly to his own room.

She met Father Jaquett outside of bis own gate. His thin coat and blue comforter were poor protection against the sharp wind but be carried bis fat little figure jauntily, and his round lace was in aglow. 'Nalbro? Oh! cone to work, madam, gone to work. Up with the dawn. He'll be at home about five this evening. I'm to walk down to tbe Point to meet him. Will you go into see Jackey? She's pickling salmon for supper. It is Nal bro's favorite dish.' 'To work, eb?' doubtfully. 'Does be seem strong? Good appetite?' 'He did not appear so bright this morning as yesterday,' hesitating. 'So I supposed. No, I'll not go in to see Jackey. Good-day, Mrk Jaquett,' shortly turning her horse's bead toward town. 'The idiots! not to know that the morning is the worst time for the poor lad! I'll go and see what I can do.'
Now, it was tbe nigbt before that Nalbro bad determined to go into the Empire Iron Mills, as he had planned a month ago. Ashe turned out of bed this morning, bis heart was so light, bis brain thrilling with such triumph at having cast off the slough of hisviJe habit, that the meanest work seemed honorable and manly. He would show them now what manner of man he was! he would bring back Jenny. Even yet Jenny should be his wife! He sat still a moment, bis boots in his hand, to bear his father talking to Blunder, while the hot fumes of Jackey'scoffee came up the stairs. This was bis old bov's room actually, and be was 'brother again!

He did not know whether it was tor hours or minutes she cried there at his feet. He managed to shake himself free at last. 'You're wrong you unjust,' he said. He was never a ready speaker, and now his excitement made bim duller than before. 'No one that has not drunk oan understand bow it is Do vou think my own chances as a man mattered less to me than you? I believe the shame that you and father have suffered has been nothing to mine, or the pain, Do you suppose the misery I was bringing on you counted for noth ing to me?'
Then— He put
hi3
foot to tbe ground, and
staggered. A moment after, his father, coming up to call him, beard the key tarnln tbe lock. It was an hour before Nalbro cani« down. That hour perhnps had made him a different man tor life He knew now that though the soul of Nalbro Jaquett might be the same, tbe old, sound, clean, ready body was gone —gone forever, be thought.
He was so loathsome to himself, that he shirked bis father's eyes. He would likA to creep out of thoold man's sight and Jenny's forever.
Yet with all this, he was full of vehement courage and resolve. He swore to himself again and again, that he would keep clean now to the end, be tbe time long or short. They should be happy. God bless them!
Father Jaquett bsda him goor^yeat the gate, and went in to pray for the bov. Blunder followed Nalbro close to

He fluttered the leaves of bis day books to give himself time. It was an odd request from the parson's eon. But young Jaquett bad tbe reputation of being a visionary, impracticable fellow, and his habits lately were said to be bad. Maybe it was the last resource for tbe poor devil. •Certaiuly, you can have a place,' he said at last. 'Go in you know the fareman—Bowles. But see, my boy,' laying bis hand on bis shoulder 'this is a poor shift tor a man of your pjeitlon. I beer that you've been—well, a little wild.eb? We must have none of tbat—-I'll keep my eye on you.' •You will have no cause to distrust m**,' said Nalbro, haughtily.
He went into the mill, and worked with spasmodic energy till noon. The bvat was intense his work brought bim. directly over the chaldrons of boiling metal. R^memoer, for ajmonth past be bad supplied artificial strength to his body instead of tbe natural strength, which was destroyed. Now, both were gone.
When bis turn to eat dinner came, be went out, bair naked as he was, and tbiew himself down on aheap ofcioders and ice on the road. Mr. Voss came out and found bim there. Something which tbe young man's eye* bad told him that morning had haunted him all day. •You've done tbe work of two men today, Jaquett,' he said, cheerfully. 'But It won't do. Bowles baa been telling me of your Invention. It's sheer folly foryou'to waste your tJme in puddling. We want an oversew. Come to tbe of floe to morrow, and eee what we can do, Remember,' when Nalbro would hare spoken, 'tbere must bo perfect sobriety.' •I unnerstadd.'
Tbe old man nodded and walked away. Then he suddenly turned and,
Came back again, lowering bia voice to a whisper: 'I know what hell you are trying to get ont of, boy. I know there's no torture on tbe rack equal to whet I know you are bearing to-day. I have felt it myself. I'll do what I can lor you.'
Some workmen coming up, be began talking of tbe quality of the pig metal that lay scattered around. When they were gone—'You have a father and sister dependent on you, Bowles saya.' *Yese* •So much the better. A load like that ought to bring out all tbe man tbere is la you. Well, if you want a friend, come to me, Jaquett.'
The young fellow had oddly taken the old man's faucy. 'That's a resolute, generous face,' he had said to Bowlt*s. 'It ought to be full of fun and good humor, like any boy's of his age.- It's horrible to see the devil of rum looking out of it to day.'
There was a good deal of tbe old cordial sparkle in it for a minute, as Nalbro listened to the old man. 'I would be glad if you would come out and see my father and the old Jaquett place before we leave it, Mr. Voss,' he said heartily. 'There is no homestead like it about here, we think. •I'll come,' watching bim shrewdly. He had eaten nothing all day. He S'tood erect with difficulty, his breath was short, his large features ash colored, as if from suppressed pain. He put out bis band now and then, as if to thrust something away from him 'Why do you do that? What do you see, Jaquett?' 'Nothing. A shadow, I think. A sudden horrible shame made bim turn away. 'God have mercy on him!' thought the old man, then, as he went in. 'He f~ farther gone than I was. I'm afraid it too late
Jaquett went back to work. He thought of bis father and Jackey, and the wife which might possibly yet be his if he never touched liquor again.
He kept them in his mind. Whatever suffering came to him that day, he tried to fight off with these thoughts. When he could no longfir work, and was forced to creep out again to the roadside alone, witb the dog who watched him wistfully, he repeated it all over again and again to himself, about his childish days, and how dear he was to them at home bow he actually held his fatbei's life in his hand, and of how there was yet a chance for bim to be a man and marry tbe woman beloved.
He sat tbere for about an houn his head leaning forward on his kneea and his hands clasped about it. Then he got up and pulled his white bat over his face* 'Where are you going, Jaquett?' said Mr. Voss, meeting him. 'For liquor, sir.'
The oid man stood back and let him pass, shaking his head saUly. *1 thought it was too late,' he said. [TO BE CONTINUED.]

BEWARE OF BABY CARRIAGES. The Providence Journal says: "The time has Come for the inevitable baby carriage. A generation ago these things were little more than baskets screwed on to axles without springs. Then came a protest, originally from physicians, against trundling the little ones over the pavement In vans which would rack the bones and addle the brains of the toughest man. Out of this discus sion the modern baby carriace was evolved, and, as at first constructed, was provided with real springs, and if used with ordinary care, did not endanger life. Gradually the springs have given way to rigid strips of iron, imitating: springs, leaving the carriage as unfit and dangerous as a whfwlbnrrow f«»r Hie delicate mission of traraporting an infant over rough crossing and along tbe average sidewalk. The Vaby's tissues will not bear much jolting. Its brain is gelatinous, and eveu itis bones soft. Nature has made its bed in the mother's arms and on the mother's breast. To change this for a springless cart is al most murder. Let any man or w«man try ridinc a short distance, on the smoothest road, in a wagon without springs. The jar will be found fatiKuinn aud .«oon become painlul. Tbe intervention of a cushion a pillow does not ease it much.
