accounts and- paving very little attention to the darling only one of five children who had survived in fancy To say that child at four years ruled the entire household of the rich whose was that papa from her baby lips would be to give no exaggerated statement of her rule And chief slave of all was pretty little Mrs Lockwood a pet in society tho idol of her husband but the devoted servant of all caprices when Miss wanted a peep- show the prettiest of pasteboard boxes selected from the store of mammas treasures and all the nursery was for bright little toys and trink ets to make the show Then some new paper dolls were demanded in the imperative mood present tense and the nursery gover ness went out to purchase them leav ing Cassie revelling in unchecked pos session of the mucilage bottle the scissors and a sheet of little colored pictures The nursery governess was Miss Agnes Churchill the daughter of an old friend of Mrs Lookwoods sud denly plunged from affluence by widowhood Aggie being only seventeen was more than glad to undertake the task of training in the intricate path from A to twice two are four with the privilege of continuing her own music and Ger man lessons to lit her to teach more advanced pupils when she had added a few more years to her own experi ence unless Now nobody ever heard Agnes say that one word ending the last sentence But when it came to her heart unbidden it was followed by a vision of a tall manly figure a grave but tender face and a pair of soft brown eyes that ever rested ten derly upon little Agnes And figure face and eyes all belonged to Dudley the brother of her employ er uncle to tyrannical Gassie Agnes had known him from a child and when her fathers dying hand clasped hers he had said Agnes little one Dudley loves you But he is past thirty you but seventeen and I begged him to wait till you were older before he spoke to you You are but a yet and do not understand how noble and good he is But if in the future you cap love him he will be a fond faithful lover and- a husband little And thinking this the father died not knowing that the failure of the bank where all his fortune lay would add poverty to sorrow after the funer al Dudley was a kind man then little the wreck for Mrs Churchill warmly seconding Mrs proposal to give Agnes a home and easy duty and taking much of the business care the two in experienced women But he respected the girls sorrow for her loss and the wishes of the dead for her to be older before she became a wife and he said nothing of his love was fond in careless brotherly fashion of his brothers wife pretty She had not the broad noble nature that was their great charm the trust that could never narrow to unworthy suspicions and the calm of perfect uprightness She was fussy and fidgety a little stingy where others were concerned very extravagant in her own expenses but withal a winsome lively lady who was her husbands idol A She was still busy with her bills money and housekeeping books when Agnes came in from her errand with the paper dolls in her hand- had bestowed on the silk facings of her mothers wrapper on the carpet and her own dress and was half asleep upon the floor Dear mo I Mrs said aroused from her work by the entrance of the governess do see what a mess the child hag made What did you give her the mucilage for It was a temptation to remind the irritated that she had herself put the bottle into hands but only replied I am sorry she mischief Bee half opened her and- Mrs W the floor she said I will put her in the crib while you clear away the mess That program carried out all tho peepshow treasures taken to the nursery Agnes sat dpwn to cut out the dolls knowing Cassia would want them as soon as she awakened Her peepshow box she put upon a closet shelf tho rubbish she put into the and considering her work over till baby voice called her She was humming a tune as she cut out the dolls dresses when Mrs came in her face flushed her eves angry Agnes she said severely I knew you were very anxious about your mothers last months rent but I never thought you would be tempted to steal to pay it The sprang to her feet the crim son blood flooding face and throat How dare you I she cried and stopped for want of words to express indignation It is useless to fly into a rage said the little lady coldly I left all the months money for household bills upon the table not ten minutes ago and there is a fifty dol lar note gone No one has been in the room out you But I will not be hard with you Give me the note and I will never mention the matter only I cannot keep you here I would not stay the poor girl cried fairly chocking with rage and shame I would not stay where I had been called a thief I know no thing of the money You deny that you have it Certainly I deny it and the tears came with sobs for was more than a child even yet I could not steal if I was starving The money is gone No one eke lias been in the room I know nothing of it But they searched for i under the table among the papers in the rub bish Agnes had gathered up in the table drawers even with hot cheeks and trembling Angels in the pockets and the dress of the nursery gover ness Then with Mrs firm in her accusation but promising secrecy Agnes went to her home Her mother was as angry as herself neither as yet looking at the loss of situation the pecuniary trouble as serious the base falshood of the ac cusation They had quieted a little though their pale faces told the story of their recent agitation when Dudley Lock- wood called Straightforward and frank as it was his nature to be in all things he asked What is the trouble between you and Mrs Miss Agnes And Agnes white now as ashes but calm told the story In her heart she gave Dudley pure love and she sickened as she spoke over the shameful story But he aftei one long look of utter said fiercely I I always said she had none of the character To suspect you of Why Agnes Agues she must bemad It was good to hear tho truthful ring of his voice to see his great frank eyes fixed upon her with such perfect trust and love But Agnes only said mournfully The money is gone What of that If fifty times fifty dollars were gone entirely it would not excuse her for such a mon strous accusation Mrs Churchill you know your husbands approval of it Give me permission to speak to Agnes I was content to wait while she was happy and where I could Of ten see her But now You must wait till I am no longer suspected interrupted Agnes I know too Mr Lock woodfor my father told me of the- honor you have paid me but I will not let you be carried away by your pity and indig nation And though he pleaded his love and Agnes raised above maidenly shy ness by the crisis in her life confessed her own affection she was firm Not until he was leaving them vowing to clear up the painful mystery did Ag nes ask Did fret for mo She is sick and feverish and com plains of sore throat She did take cold then sleeping on the floor I suppose so Tom was going for a doctor A few last words and he was gone his cordial sympathy and tender love Somehow it would all come right Ag nes felt convinced when she nestled down beside her mother saying will miss me at bedtime Mrs Lockwood has no genius for and must have stories told her till she falls asleep Two days passed and there was no message or call from Dudley Lock- wood though Agnes felt no doubt about the giver of a basket of freshly cut flowers left without card or have returned They are STOUFFV1LLK After the prayermeeting last evening Miss Jennie who has been organist in the Methodist Church for the past two years was presented with a purse accompanied by an address We understand that Kennedy of Baliantraeand family

dangerously ill calling continually for Aggie Mrs Lockwood sent me here with this message Tell Agnes that the doc tor gays the irritation and fever are greatly increased by constant ly fretting for her and beg her for the childs sake to come to us Will you go I will go Very gravely fully appreciating the unpleasant task before the of meeting Mrs with that mysterious loss still unexplained Ag nes answered But when the child the little gol den haired darling she loved greeted her with glad eyes whispering over and over Aggie Dont go away Aggie she was glad she had not de nied the baby wish Uncle Dudley stay too said and my mamma Aggie where is my pretty peepshow she said presently reminded by corning of her last toy In the nursery closet Shall I get it for you No you will stay away again Unci Dudley will get it A green pasteboard box with a round hole in one end Agnes ex plained And Dudley as much a slave as any of them to the little ones caprices went for the peepshow He came back very pale and very grave Lorna he said quietly unheed ing outstretched hand will you look in where I did at this round Pshaw Mrs Lockwood said im patiently but she took the box and looked in Fasted and well plastered down with mucilage at the other end of the box directly where she looked was a fifty dollar bill the picture side exposed The lost note Oh Agnes can you ever forgive met she cried dropping the box into eager hands My pretty peep show said Cassie Aggie will put in the paper dolls And Agnes took the hand Mrs stretched across the bed and said softly I am glad it is found You will stay with If you wish only permitted the stay until the little one was quite well again when a new governess had to be found For Miss Churchill had to return home to assist her mother in the preparation of a simple trousseau her last economy for as Dudley Lock- woods wife she commands sufficient wealth to use fiftydollar bills if she wishes for pretty picture playthings said to have lost

taken captive by the Turks and made a slave in one of the Eighteen long years were passed in slavery in a strange land and among heathen people But the captive never forgot the hymns he had sung in his old home and often he would sit and sing over the words he had learned from his pious mother One evening some Bailors on board an English manofwar were surprised to hear the familiar tune of Old
