CHAPTER XVlll.—(Continued.) Ho waited, to study his ground a little, arid he glanced at Leighton, as though to make sure that tk* young man had not deserted him. “Father is a little forgetful sometimes,” said Zelda. “He isn’t a young nan, you must remem’ber.” The sympathy with which she spoke made Merriam uncomfortable; and Leighton moved uneasily. It was not a pleasint task-i —that of telling a young woman that her father was a rascal. “But while the order of court can be procured and injury to the purchaser prevented, there is another side of the •natter that we must consider.” “Yes, uncle" —and she smiled a little forlornly; She knew that she should meet the blow bravely when it fell; but it hurt her now to feel her uncle’s kindness; “It hurts me—Zelda, It hurts me more than I can tell you, to have to say that all is not quite clear about this transaction. Youh father has sold At an extraordinary price. I fear that he is in difficulties. In this real estate matter have your remedy. It is of this that; I wish to speak particularly. It is only right that I should protect you if I can.” “You are very kind; you are always good to me, Uncle Rodney.” “The failure to get the court’s approval of the sale of the real estate makes it; possible for us to save it—this one piece, maybe, though nearly all the rest is gone—to get it back, perhaps. The situation is not agreeable. Your father received the money and I am afraid, he has made ill use of it. But we may find it possible to set this sale asidd, or get an additional sum from the purchaser——” Merriam was looking Intently at the floor as he spoke these sentences. He was suddenly aware that Zelda had risen and crossed the room until she stood before him, with flaming cheeks and flashing eyes. He unconsciously rose and drew away from her. It seemed to Leighton that the air in the room grew tenge. The girl stood between. the two men, her lips parted, one hand on the back of a chair. “Uncle Rodney, I never thought that you would —insult me—in your own house—under the pretense of kindness! I sjhould like to know what you gentlemert mean, and what you think I am—that I should listen to such things , from you! To think that I should be welling tof take advantage of the law to defraud spme one, »on the theory that my father was defrauding me—stealing from jme, I suppose you mean!” “Zee, pie moment ” “No, sir;! I shall, hear no more from you. I neyer want to see you again—either of you!” She had spoken brokenly, and, the last three words came slowly, with a kind of hiss. “But before I go, k wish to say something to you, to your feelings of pity for me. It was by my request—and oy my order— that father sold that property; and, he gave me the money—do you understand? —gave me the money f - it —and I have spent it —all of it!” She was gone so quickly that the front doot clammed on her last word, is though! to add to the contempt that It carried; ) CHAPTER XIX. Zelda hajd carried in her heart for weeks thcifear of some such disclosure as that which she had just heard from her uncle. ) In her igndrance of business, she (had not even vaguelj’ guessed what jnad taken so strong a hold upon her father. He had acted strangely during the long summer, but she had attributed his vagaries to the l ifirmlty of years. Zelda went at once to the livingroom where hes fattier usually sat with his: newspaper, but he had not come home; and she went up to her own rooni, glad of a respite. She had acted her part so long; she had defended him in her own heart and by her own acts; she had even sought to clothe him in her thoughts with something of the dignity, the nobility even, of honorable age; but this was now at \ an end. j It was clear that a crisis ’ had been reached; and while the purely business aspect of the situation did not trouble her at all, she felt that her relations with her father could never again bet the same. She had been shielding him, not from the contempt of her kindred, but from her own distrust as well; and now that this was at an end, she went slowly to her room with a new feeling of isolation in her heart She made a light and put aside her * b-t and eoat with the studied care that we giv* to little things in our perplexities. Then she unlocked the draw r of her desk in which she kept her mother’s book. It opened at the page that had meant so much to her, that had been her guide qnd her command, K and she pondered the sentences anew. ■ When she heard her father come in ■she went down in her street dress, with Mkhe little book In her pocket, slowly Hkd with no plan formed. He stood with his back to the flame, hands behind him, and regarded warily, in away that had grown ' habitual of late. “Where have you been, Zee?” he asked. “I went down to Zimmer’s to look at some pictures they are showing there; and on my way home I stopped at Uncle Rodney’s.” * "Ah, yes; your Uncle Rodney. I haven’t seen him since he came home.” He did not seek the evening paper with his wonted eagerness when they returned tp the sitting-room after dinner, but continued talking. “There are some business matters that I should like to speak of to-night, Zee.” 1 “Very well, father.” “As t? your affairs, the trusteeship established by your dear mother is nearly at an end. It expires by the limitations of your mother’s will on your twenty-first birthday, that is, tomorrow.”

“Yjs; I believe that is so.” He looked at her quickly; he found her composure disquieting. Perhaps Rodr ey Merriam had been giving her counsel! “As we have just said —and I was glad to find you agreeing with me—a woman does well to let business alone. There is an Immense amount of detail connected with an estate —even a compara Lively small one, like your mother’s. There are many accounts to keep. I have kept them for years in my own way. I am not an expert accountant, but [ hope that my work is accurate. At a ay time that you Would like to examir e the books, I should be glad '.o aid ; ’ou ” \ - “Thank you—yes, of course,” said Zelda, hurriedly. She had been thinking of other things; but she now fixed her i .ttentlon upon what her father was sayii ig. “I have thought, Zee that perhaps you would like to continue this trustees! ip. No one else understands the nature of the property so well as I. I have given the best years of my life to stud ,'ing it. The burden is a conslderab e one for my years. lam nearing 70—>ut if you would like to have me go cn, I should be willing to do so. Youi dear mother gave me her entire confidence; it ‘would please me if I could feel that your own trust In me was equally great.” “I suppose there is no hurry about it, fc ther. It would be just as well for me to go over the whole matter at the time of the change.” She spoke carelessly, but a bitterness had begun to creep into her heart. The contempt that she had smothered for a year now ceas ?d to be a smoldering ember and leap :d into flame. /‘I wished to propose that myself,” he ieplied, smiling.. “And I will tell you now what I had expected to conceal until your birthday, of a little gift I am making you. I have placed two thousand dollars to your credit at the bank. It is subject to your check. It is fi om my own estate, of course. I should hardly make you a present of youi own money.” “1 ou are very kind; it is a handsome gift; but I think we’d better put it into the new trusteeship. Then I shal not be tempted into extravagances.” Ho had expected some exuberant expression of pleasure; but . she had spol en coldly, and her manner troubled him. He took from the table a brOvn paper parcel and opened it, carefully untying the knot in the tape which fastened it. “I think you have never seen a copy of ysur mother’s will, Zee—unless perhaps your Uncle Rodney has shown it to y ju.” “No; I have never seen it,” she answer 'ed. H i unfolded a copy of the last will and testament Os Margaret Dameron carefully, and then refolded it lengthwise to remove the creases for greater convenience in examining it. He proceeced with an exaggerated deliberation A man likes to mystify a woman abo it business matters; his own wlsdorr grows refulgent in the dark recesses of her ignorance. Dtmeron read his wife’s will thre ugh, and Zelda listened attentively, though few of the terms meant anything to her, and the numbers of lots and the names of additions, divisions and subdivisions were only rigmarole. Her father paused now and then to k take some comment on an item, explaining more fully what was meant. Either her uncle had deceived her or her father was lying; ajjd she knew tha; her uncle had told the truth. The : situation cleared for her slowly. His request for a continuation of the trus-j tees hip veiled his wish to keep her affairs in his own hands, without a bretk. It was a clever, plan and in an) imiersonal way she admired his audacity. “You understand,” her father contin-j uet, “that the personal property—that means stocks, bonds and so on—was. to ae sold and the proceeds reinvested as I saw fit. It was necessary to change most of it —I had no option in thef matter. Your grandfather, ' Zee, had been one of the early railroad) builders In this part of the country,! and the original small independent linm have all been merged into great systems. It should be a matter of pride to you that your grandfather was a man so far-seeing and progressive. Bult now, his children and their chil-' dren derive the benefit. I recall that a representative in Congress from our State was defeated for re-election back in the ’4os, for voting an appropriation to aid Morse in his experiments wi h the telegraph. . They charged him wi h wasting the people’s money. But times change, and men change with th< m! ’’ He sighed, and the thin leaves of his copy of the will rustled In his fingers as he sought the place where he had dropped his reading. He lingered ovnr the words that described the nature of the trust. They were very sweet to him, because they were at once a justification of himself and a refutation of the slanders of his wife’s family. He knew, too, that they gave emphasis to the suggestion that he was now: making to Zelda, that she renew the trusteeship. He wished to put this as much as possible in 'the light of a) favor to the girl. ‘ I am very sorry that my friend and! counsel, Mr. Carr, ,1s absent, as I should like to have him prepare the) ne v deed of trust. He is a man of the) highest probity. He Is the ablest lawye: • at our bar. In Mr. Carr’s absence I lave not thought it wise to take another attorney into our confidence. I ha ze prepared a deed of trust myself.; Shill I read the deed?” ‘ Yes, please,” said Zelda. “I should. Ilk s to’hear it” He had, as he said, copied the form; of a trust deed that was well-known among local lawyers. As a trust deed it was absolutely above reproach, sa re only that neither the property as)

1 described nor any equivalent for thi ! bulk of it was any longer in existence as a part of . the estate of Margaret Merriam Dameron. Zelda sat inert, listening to the recital, as her father read with ation and with due regard for the sonorous Jegal phrases. He even "read through the notarial certificate; and then he drew off his glasses and settled back in his chair with a satisfied air. He hoped that Zelda would discuss some of the provisions, or ask questions, so that he might be assured that she suspected nothing. Zelda said nothing. He rose and fumbled with the pen and ink that lay on the table by the inkstand, while he waited for her to speak. The silence grew oppressive; the girl had always responded quickly in their talk. He turned, holding the pen in his hand. “I suggest that you look the papei over be/ore signing. Zee.” .He held the paper toward her, bui she shook her head. “Very well. I have read it to you carefully; and you can, of course, have a copy at any time. It is perfectly proper for you to sign to-night the day before your birthday; you can acknowledge it before a notary to-mor-row.” He was smiling, but he held the per toward her with a hand that shook perceptibly. Repulsion and pity struggled for the mastery as she pondered looking away from him into) the fire She felt that she could never meet his eyes again; but she seemed to see them in the flames, the small gray eyes that were so full of cunning and avar- > ice. It was his deceit, his effort tc > play upon her credulity, that stung hei , now into a fierce contempt. She ros4 and turned toward him. “I wish you would not He to me, Ezra Dameron,” she said, quietly, with | e9en the suggestion of a caress upon the syllables of his name. (To be continued.) FIRST CHILDREN’S BOOKS. Sheets of Horn Protected the Pages from Soiled FingersThe earliest English book for children was “The Babies Book, or 8 Lyttl Report of How Young People Should Behave.” The horn books ex »isted in Elizabeth’s reigi). The writ ihg was covered with a sheet of horr in order to protect the lettering from contact with dirty fingers. The chap book contained most ol the familiar nursery rhymes and sto ries which have appertained to nura ery lore for generations. They ex hibit very crude woodcuts, offer daubed with inappropriate color, anc the commonest paper as a rule was used. They were hawked about bj the chapman or peddler and cost onlj a few pence apiece. They served to perpetuate such fa miliar ditties as “Sing a Song of Six pence,” which dates from the six teenth century; “Three Blind Mice, in use, with music, in 1609; “The Frog and the Mouse,” in existence in 1580 and “Girls and Boys, Come out tc Play,” which was sung by the vil lagers in the time of Charles 11. “Lit j tie Jack Horner,” we know, is oldei that! tne seventeenth century, and last but not least, “Lucy Locket,” the tunc from which originated “Yankee Doo die.” A few of what were called “battle door books” have been handed down to us. They were three-leaved cards which were folded up into oblong pocket-shaped volumes. These taughl reading and numerals in the dame schools in town and country. The lit tie gilt books, as they weoe called, adorned on the outside with gilt* Dutch paper-colored flowers, were much prized gift books of that period. Children were employed coloring such pie ture books by hand, one child doing all the red in the series of illustra- j tions, another all the blue, and so on.) Os course they gained precision by repetition, but we very often find tha tints overlapping, as if carried out by i an inexperienced hand. London i Queen. [ SIMPLE LANGUAGE THE BEST. — Two Good Examples That Should Impress Themselves Upon the Mind. Benjamin Franklin once decided :o rewrite the Bible. He got as far as the allegory of Job. He erased the passage,, “Doth Job fear God for naught?” a question supposed to have been put to the Almighty by Satan. This is how Benjamin, who was bent upon making the Bible dignified, academic and scholastic, transformed that passage: “Does your Majesty Imagine that Job’s good conduct is the effect of personal attachment and affection?” Improving upon the simplicity of simple English always has just that effect. Byway of contract between this pompous foolishnenß And the writing of a gifted man with a sense of humor, I note that Mark Twain in "Innocence Abroad” tells how he left a room 34 night when he was a boy, having found a corpse upon the floor.: “I went away from there. I do no) say that I went away in any sort ol hurry, but I simply went —that is suf ficient. I went out at the window an<J I carried the sash along with me. ) did not leave the sash, but it was han dier to take it than it was to leave it so I took it—l was not scared, but 1 was considerably agitated.” Young men who are meditating a lit erary or journalistic career, as well as j young men who think of writing for a living, will do well to study Mart i Twain.

BELIEVE that Governor Hughes has been supported by the bulk of the wisest and most disinterested public opinion as regards most of his measures and

jr 1

positions, and I think that this has ) been markedly the case as regards ! direct primary nominations. I know i that many honest and sincere men ) are on principle opposed to Governor ■ Hughes on this point, and I know also that the proposed reform will very possibly accomplish less than its extreme advocates expect; while I am well aware, as of course all thinking men must be, that the worth of any such measure in the last resort depends upon the character of the voters, and that no patent device will ever secure good government unless the people themselves devote sufficient energy, time, and judgment to make the device work. Finally, I freely admit that here and there, where the principle of direct nominations has been applied in too crude shape or wrongheadedly, it has, while ! abolishing certain evils, produced or accentuated others —in certain cases, for instance, putting a premium upon the lavish expenditure Os money. But while I freely admit all this, I nevertheless feel, in the first place, that on the fundamental issue of direct primary nominations the Governor is right, and, in the second place, that, as the measure finally came up for action in the state legislature, it was well-nigh free from all objections save those of the men who object to it because they are fundamentally opposed to any change whatever in the. desired direction. The bill provided only for direct popular action in the primaries in relatively small geographical and political conlmunities, thereby making the experiment first where there was least liability to serious objection, and avoiding or deferring the task of dealing with those big communities where the difficulties and dangers to be overcome would be greatest. Moreover, while guaranteeing full liberty of individual action, it also provided for the easy maintenaance of party organization, and thereby avoided some very real dangers—among them that of encouraging the use of masses of the minority party in any given district to dictate the actions of the majority party. In other words, the proposed bill, while it marked a very real step injadvance, was tentatively and cautiously framed, and provided all possible safe- ) guards against abuses. If in ' it had failed to work in any particular, there would have been no possible difficulty in making whatever amend- ) ments or changes were necessary. The Republican oarty was in the • .

IDEAS ABOUT THE RAINBOW Queer Notions Held by People of Different Countries Regard- , ing the Bow. In many countries the rainbow is spoken of as being a great bent pump or siphon tube, drawing water from the earth by mechanical means. In parts of Russia, in the Don country, and also in Moscow and vicinity, it is known by a name which is equivalent to “the bent water-pipe." In nearly all Slavonic dialects it is known by terms signifying “the cloud siphon,” and in Hungary it is “the pump,” “Noah’s pump” and “God’s pump.” The Malayan natives call it by the same name that they do their manded water cobra, only that they add ’“boba” (meaning double-headed), the equivalent in our language being “the double-headed water-snake.” They tell you that the bow is a real thing of life, that it drinks with Its two mouths, and that the water is transferred to the clouds through an opening in the upper side of the centre of the great arch. In the province of Charkav, Russia, the rainbow is said to drain the wells, and to prevent this many are provided with heavy, tight-fitting stone platforms. In the province of Saratov the bow

majority in both houses of the legislature which refused to carry out the’ Republican governor’s recommendations; and although it was only a minority of the Republican members which brought about this refusal, the party cannot escape a measure of responsibility for the failure; but it is only just to remember that a clear majority of the Republican members pt each house supported the bill, whereas three-fourths or over of the Democrats opposed it. This is one of the cases where it is easier to apportion individual than party responsibility. Those who believe that by their action they have definitely checked tfae movement for direct popular pri maries are, in my judgment, mistaken. In its essence, this is a movement to make the government more democratic, more responsive to the wishes and needs of the people as a whole. With our political machinery It is essential to have an efficient party, but the machinery ought to be suited to democratic and not oligarchic customs and habits. The question whether in a self-governing republic we shall have self-governing parties is larger than the particular bill. We hold that the right of popular self-government is incomplete unless it includes the right of the voters not merely to choose between candidates when they have been nominated, but also the right to determine who these candidates shall be. Under our system of party government, therefore, the voters should be guaranteed the right to determine within the ranks of their respective organizations who the candidates of the parties will be, no less than, the right to choose between the cand. dates when the candidates are presented them. There is no desire to break down the responsibility of party organization under duly constituited. party leadership, but there is a desire to make this responsibility real and to give the members of the party the right to say whom they desire to execute this leadership. In New York state no small part of the strength of the movement has come from the popular conviction that many of the men most prominent in party leadership tend at times to forget than in » democracy the function of a political leader must normally be to lead, not to drive. We, the men who compose the great bulk of the community, wish to govern ourselves. We welcome leadership, but we wish our leaders to understand that they derive their strength from us, and that, although we look to them for guidance, we expect this guidance to be in accordance with our interests and our ideals. .
