I am proud of you, and I believe you will live to be proud of yourself. Now that you are a man I want to start you with this. It is yours to do with as you like." "This" was a check for a small forâ€" tune. He took it from his porket as he spoke and handed it to the young man, who flushed with surprise and perfectly natural pleasure as he lookâ€" ed at it. "It would be idle, sir, to try to thank you in words for this, or for all your kindness to me all my life," he said. "But I have something else to ask. Even this princely giit of monsy seems small compared to that." Old Eben‘s face darkened. He did not like to hear money spoken of lightly, and it seemed an ungrasious spsech. However, he spoke kindly and with all sincerity. ‘"What is it, my son? You are not likely to ask anything that L could refuse toâ€"day." ‘I want you, sir, to reconsider what you said about my marrying. Let me introduce you to the woman"‘â€" The dark face grow rigid. "Let us understand this now," said the father interrupting. "I insist upon your ohbedience so long as I play the part of a father. I have no legai claim, I know*"â€" "I do; God help me!" exclaimed young Eben. "And you must understand me also. I shall certainly marry the girl I love, and I do not change sir, any more than you. I will obey you in all els=, but not in that." ‘"Don‘t talk of a legal claim, faâ€" ther," said the son, interrupting in bhis turn. ‘"Very well. It is not a claim, but I am still your father, and so long as you continue in my home you are my son. Let me hear no more of this folly. I will never consent to this marriage. Do you understandt" Of course the birthday came in due time. _ Birthdays do. In the morning old Eben met him with something like emotion. It must be said that the next few months were pretty hard ones for the boy. He had set himsel{ to wait till he should be of age, the next Decemâ€" ber, not with the thought of defying his father even then, but because he would render his service loyally to the last day. So time went on. His duty was done at his desk in the countâ€" ing room so well that his father could not complain, rigid taskmaster though he was. His sweetheart was not neâ€" glected, and yet he found time or made it, to keep up his studies faithâ€" fully. "By marrying you," he said firmly, "but not just now. I will do nothing rashly." "No, no! Never!" she exclaimed alâ€" most wildly as she threw her perfect arms around his neck and began to sob at the thought. Her quick emoâ€" tions were not the least of her charms. And that is why she did not take it well. She would and she wouldn‘t lisâ€" ten to either side of the question. Young Eben must obey his father, and he must never cease to love her, nor ever marry any one else. _ And nothing was ever to induce her to waver in any respect. It was delightâ€" fulâ€"and somewhat perplexing. "If you won‘t settle the matter," be said, finaily, "I will." This, by the way, was what be bad intended from the first. "Settle it, how?" she asked in some alarm. Young Eben looked at her attenâ€" tively before speaking again, and that was a thing calculated to bewilder a man. You couldn‘t fully appreciate the ‘beauty of her brown hbair with its odd gleams of red and of gold beâ€" fore you would be admiring her broad low forehead, full in the temples, rounded and symmetrical as it was. Then a flash from her deep, large, hazâ€" el eyes would fasten your gaze for a moment, till the perfect complexâ€" ion and chiseled, classic features would coax it away, and the sweet glory of her face would perplex you so with its multiplicity of charms that â€" you would fall to wondering which of them was most to be desired. All this beauty which his father bad undertaken to deny to him, without even seeing it, made young Eben desâ€" perate. *"Then you want me to marry _ome other woman," he said. Miss Mildred did not take it well. Young Eben was dissatisfied with the promptness with which she said that she would never forgive hersel{ if she should be the cause of a quarrel beâ€" tween him and his father. But even young Ehen, after he met Miss Mildred, saw things a little difâ€" ferently and would perhaps bave used another word than love in speaking of his father. Certainly it did not seem as if his filial love was very strong when he came to tell her what his father had said. In those days he told her everything. Afterward he grew older and learned a good many things. Young Eben said more than his prayers sometimes, and it would not do to set down all he said to himself as he left the room. He was as plucky a lad as there was in seven counties around, but he bad always been obedâ€" ient, partly from a sense of duty and partly because of the genuine lowve that existed between father and son. TWO CHRISTMAS EVES. "Not anotbher word, sir," said old Eben Withers in hbis usual decisive manner. "I know nothing about the girl, and I don‘t desire to, but I do not intend you to marry for some years, and then you are not to choose & penniless bride. You are to build up the family fortune, sir, not scatter it. No; I will not listen." And _ he turned to his morning paper again. ist understand me With an angry cry he leaped forâ€" ly marry the girl ward. his indignation giving him _ a t change sir, any | strength he bhad not felt for months. vn}L ?l'u.oy you in | His cry startled her, and with a quick s 2u It was another stormy Christmas eve. Suddenly he rang for a servant and sent for his lawyer in baste and withâ€" in an hour he sat alone again, looking with a happy smile at the new will he had made. "I will go to my son in the morning," he said to himself, "and we will have a happy Christmas once more." movement she cast the paper into the Nothing moved him till that strange magic of Christmastide came. _ Here, there and everywhere it worked, peneâ€" trating even old Eben‘s mansion deâ€" spite the barred doors, and reaching his stony heart as he sat thinking of bis well beloved sen, and of the wife of his youth so long d4ead. Smiling tenderly, he fell asleep in his armcbair in front of the great open fireplace, where the flames were roaring up the chimney. After a time be awoke with a start. And so the breach seemed hopeless, but Christmas was coming again, and strange magic is working everywhere in the Christmas season, softening men‘s hearts and quickening all imâ€" pulses to peace and good will. As the year drew to a close old Eben grew weaker and more infirm. Day after day he sat alone, careless of h‘s busiâ€" ness, thinking always of his ruined hopes and eating his beart. On young Eben‘s birthday be shut himself in his room and would see no one, but he was harder than ever next day. Between him and the fire stood Alice reading the will he had just made. She was furions with rage as he saw at a glance, ana "past as he started she It was a crafty speech for she knew that the old man would resent the charge of injustice, and her eyes flashâ€" e again when hbe said bharshly, "I have no son. I had one but he left Never mention him again.‘" When he told her about it that night a gleam of triumph came in her narâ€" row eyes. It was what she had hoped and schemed for, but her face was grave, and her voice steady, as she spoke in reply; "You are doing too much for me, Cousin Eben," she said. "I have done nothing to deserve such kindness, and, pardon me for saying it, you are doing a cruel injustice to your son." Old Eben might have softened a bit© if he nad known about this, but, of course, he didn‘t. He kept himself well informed about the lad he loved, but proud as he was to see that his son could make his way in the world withâ€" out help, he was sensitive enough to feel it an injury to his own importance . and unreasonable enough to feel his anger increasing week by week. One day when he was more incensed than usual he made a will leaving all his fortuns to a distant cousin, Alice Withers, who had come to keep house for him. "I thinkâ€"" she faltered, "that the angels are going to bring youâ€"about Christmas _ timeâ€"a _ blessed gift, straight from heaven, and I‘m afraid you‘ll love it more than you do me." Then came a flood of tearsâ€" happy ones that young Eben was too wise to try to stop. "How lovely to say thati" she exâ€" claimed, kissing him again. "And to say it as if you meant it. But that is just what I am afraid of." . This was bewildering. "What are you afraid‘ of?" asked young Ehen. . Young Eben laughed. "It‘s some time to Christmas yet," he said. "I hadn‘t thought. Besides you gave me the most precious gift in the world last: Christmas. Anything else would seem very small after that." _ "I want to talk a little while," said Mildred pulling his book away and seating herself on his knee. But after she had done that very satisfactorily with a kiss she sat for a long time with her head on his shoulâ€" der, saying nothing till at length he said, "I thought you wanted to talk to me, deart?" Still she was silent a moment as if it were hard to begin. Then she said, "What would you like best for a Christmas present?" CHAPTER IL It was a bright, happy year for the youngsters, contrary to the laws of fiction, for they had love and hope and hard work to fill the time and good common sense to guide them, but old Eben had never relented, and there was a shadow over the little home, happy as it was. One evening late in the year young Eben had come home from his work and settled himself, as his habit was, to study, when the was suddenly interrupted. "Good," said young Fhen, smiling, "but you must pay for my time." "Amen!" said young Eben. "He is poor, indeed in his loneliness, but I never can cease loving him." And after the young man left the room he picked up the slip of paper and tore it in bits before throwing it into the fire Then, seating himself at the table, he rang for his breakâ€" fast. When it was brought, however, be sat for an hbhour looking straight before him, and finally, leaving it unâ€" touched he arose and went to his ofâ€" fice. "God help your poor father," said Mildred as she nestled in young Ekhen‘s arms in the shelter of their new home the night before Christmas. "As you choose," said his father. "I certainly would not give it to you now." But the other drew back. "I said you had no claim on me. My kindness was for my son not for an ingrate. Obey me and everything shall be as it was. If not, go now." With a despairing gesture the young man turned away, but his father spoke aga‘in. "Stop a moment," he said. ‘"You have forgotten your check." And he pointed to where young Eken had dropped it on the table. "I gave you that sir, before you had defied me. It is still yours." "I cannot take it father," said young Eben, with some spirit though not deâ€" fiantly. ‘You would not giveit to me now, and I cannot receive what does not come from your hearty good will." "If we part," said the lad his voice breaking, "let us part in kindness at least, 1 ask for nothing more." And he stepped forward with his hands outâ€" stretched. ‘‘Then we may as well part now," said old Eben, stung beyond endurâ€" ance by the first defiant words he had ever listened to. "You can have no claim on me henceforth." about to tear the document in TORONTO When Dr. Johnson wrote his celeâ€" brated dictionary, 150 years later, it took fifteen large pages to cover the same space. The best work of the present day, requires fortyâ€"seven pages to cover this alphabetical range, which shows how enormous has been the inâ€" crease of the paste280 years. * In Bullokar‘s work there is but one micro word, microcosmus. In Dr. Johnston‘s work, written a century and a half later, the micro words had inâ€" creased so as to cover one column. Microscope, which was not in Dr. Dulâ€" lokar‘s work, appears for the first time in Dr. Johnson‘s. F w en Gaie Prornatnctss 4. but very few public libraries contain any of these old reference works. Pubâ€" lications in those days were few and far between, and but few examples of the oldâ€"time presswork are now exâ€" tant. The earliest English dictionary pubâ€" lished was Dr. Bullokar‘s which apâ€" peared in 1616. It is a little bit of a book, with some 200 pages, and having about 5000 headings. _ This is the beâ€" ginning of works of reference in the English language. One page which i|â€" lustrates the march of progress is that which has meteor, metropolitan, mimic, mineral, etc., on it. _ Mineral is definâ€" ed by Dr. Bullokar as "anything dug out of the ground." _ According to this a pebble, a worm or a mole dug out of the earth would be a mineral. _ Some of the omissions are still more interâ€" esting.> There is no mind, minister, mill, milk, mile, might, mighty, mid or middle; and apparently, if we can judge by the omissions here, they had no mind cure and no millionaires in those days. _ Now this one page of Bullokar‘s work covers all the words in the language from meteor to minâ€" iver. Comparison of this description will be interesting to every one to whom it may he; possible. Un{iortunately, .4 hk auvey uiess u+s . s and thereby in the number of words used, be realized than by a comparison of the first reference works with those of the present day. â€" More than any other cause, the proâ€" gress of modern invention and science has brought about an enormous exâ€" tenison of the language. â€" Thousands of technical words and expressions now in common use would never have been coined but for the innumerable parts of the neverâ€"ending list of new inventions in mechanics and discoveries in science. In no better way can this rapid Concurrent with this growth of the language there has been an equal, if not greater, increase in â€" knowledge. Three hurdred years ago one man could know all there was to be known, Toâ€"day one man can know thoroughly only one small branch of one science. This increase of knowledge has been most rapid during the last part of the present century. What Statisties Show the Increase in the Present Cent ry to Havys Been. We all know that the English lanâ€" guage has been growing at a remarkâ€" able rate during this century, and that it has been spreading over the whole globe. _ But few, however, really comâ€" prehend how rapid this growth has been. _ At the opening of the century French was spoken by 31,000,000 people, German by 30,000,000, Russian by 30,â€" 000,000, Spanish by 27,500,500, English by 21,000,000 and Italian by 16,900,500: Today English is the language of 130,â€" 0¢0,000, French of 45,500,900, German of 70,500,500, Russian of 75,500,500; Spanish of 45,500,500, and Italy of 35,500,550. In other words, during the present cenâ€" tury English has not only risen from the fifth place to the first, but has gained enormously on the rest in reâ€" lative magnitude, expanding _ from about 13 per cent of the total to over 830 per cent. _ With this increase of the English speaking people the lanâ€" guage itself has kept pace. GROWTH OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE:® The wind buffeted him, and he laughâ€" ed. The driving snow beat upon him and he shook it off lightly. Suddenly a paper fluttered along on the gale and struck him in the face, and he instinctâ€" ively reached up and caught it. Then, stepping under a light, he looked to see what it might be. Here was magic, if you please. The will that Alice had thrown into the flames had been caught in the roaring draft of the old fashioned chimney and had been carried by the _ spirit of Christmas straight to the hands of the heir. It was scorched a little, but not in jured. Young Eben glanced through it and then noted the date, and with a glad shout sprang forward again. At his father‘s door Alice met and would have stopped him but be pushed her aside with a laugh and went straight to the old man‘s rcom. ‘"Die nothing!" exclaimed _ young Eben, with a cheery laugh. "God has sent you a grandson and a son toâ€" night. You‘ll have many a merry Christmas yet with me and mine." And so it was. So, when the first excitement was over and he was told that Mildred was asleep and must not hbe disturbed, he buttoned himself in his greatcoat and set out in the storm to seek his faâ€" ther‘s house and ask once more for his love. â€" "My son! My son!" he cried out eagerly. "Now I can die in peace." There lay old Eben, weak from his fainting fit, but little the worse for it. That night in young Eben‘s cottage there came a feeble wail, telling that a new born soul had flown in through the storm to the warm shelter of a happy mother‘s arms. All was well the nurse said, as she brought the lusty man child out. for Eben to see, and the young father‘s heart was moved with a great yearning. It must not be, he thought, that there should be any anger or hatred any more in the world. Whatever lay in bis power he would do to bring peace. . flames before he could reach her. Then with a mocking laugh she turned toâ€" ward him. And then she stopped. The shock bad been too much for the old man, and he fell on the floor before her insensible. "Fool!" she began.
