the ex pressive gesture was followed by some deprecating remark Comes of bad stock old Judge Lennox would say in bin pompous dictatorial manner All the Lam- sons were worthless and Mrs Lam- son was a Hodge and everybody knows they are The house in which Mark was born and where ho scrambled up to man hood was a large farmhouse tumbling to pieces inside with aroof always lc- patched against leaking doors without locks and with shaking hinges windows that rattled in every wind ceilings that dropped whenever a heavy wind shook the upper rooms and furniture in the lost stage of shnbhiness His father and mother were slatternly in dress shiftless in household management and the hand some bright was over indulged or neglected as their own indolenco sug gested But Murk inherited none of the leading traits of his parent Probably in some remote ancestor there was a mixture of energy reso lution and ability of which the ville gossips had never heard and for which they certainly gave Mark no credit It was in vain that the prin cipal of the High School de clared that Mark had graduated with the best record he hod ever given in the school It for the lad himself to keep his life free from blame and earnestly endeavor to do his duty Maysville not forget he was a Lamson and his mother was a Hodge bad stock As he passed from boyhood to man hood Mark began the unequal struggle against fate and circumstances that was dictated by his own energy His father had been unable to get bread I from the farm by a lazy tillage that gave the bare necessities for the table his mother had a very small income that gave the three clothing of the poorest description and both were in openmouthed wonder that Mark was not so content as they had been to dawdle through life and make out with what they had And Mark struggling to attain better things with only a vague longing for improvement met no at home or abroad He tried to obtain a situa tion but employers were shy about giving work to a he met but a cool reception at the social gatherings having no know ledge of how to repair his own linen or keep his poor clothing even tidy Boylike he imagined that a new suit and a gay necktie were all sufficient for a and did not heed the cuffs and broken collars at which the belles turned up their But iu spite of his fathers lazy com ments his mothers fretful remon strance Mark finding no em ployment outside determined to see if the farm would not find him in work Oh yes do as you please his fathersaid But there is no money for new fancied fixings and the laud is about worn out Plenty of it to he sure but worth shucks So singlehanded Mark undertook the work of bringing up the old farm Early and late he toiled repairing fronted by an undeniable beauty a face to win homage in far more pre tentious circles than boasted of and a general grace of manner that none of the girls of his acquaintance had ever extended to him touch of soft little hand of- fored to greet him rivotcd the chains Essios face had cast about Marks heart and m him her slave and there Ho had starved all his life for his first half- hour with filled his longing heart with content She all boyhood aspirations she entered into all his hopes and ambitions The party was tho beginning of an inter course that stimulated anew every good resolution gave a new vigor to every hope of Marks life Then are women who carry in their own hearts an- overflowing fund of sympathy who can sink self utterly in the presence of another persons in terest and throw their own powor in to their neighbors work without of- j ficiouaness or offence Essie Lennox was such a woman as she was She could give her whole mind to every detail which she had carried to from the cutting of aprons for a neighbors child to the gentle soothing of an invalids terror of death from her mothers preserving kettle to the comforting of a newly bereaved wid ow or orphan Nothing was too deep or solemn nothing too transient or trivial for that tender everactive in terest and that made her the idol of as well as the com fort of her home An hour with Essie sent him back to his uphill work full of new hope every energy stimulated every hope brightened He had not dared to set before her in plain words the hope of winning her heart to answer his own for there was all the humility of true passion in that young ardent heart but he realized a new force a new spur to ambition Essie never sneered at him as the neighbor had become accustomed to doing Essie never threw cold water over his plans for improving the land Essie was never sarcastic over the clashing of his povei ty and ambitions He saw her more he ven tured to tell her of wider wilder hopes of some day from the drudgery before him and making his way to a city where bis education might give him a start in more con genial occupation Father and mother seems to need me now he told Essie one day they are old and they have no other child 1 think it is my duty to stay at home 1 think it is was the quick re- reply your mother could scarcely bear a And in her home she found no one whose claim seemed to her stronger than Marks The village was essen tially democratic and the fact that Essie was the only child and heiress of the richest and most influential man in the place did not prevent her from visiting Mrs Lamson upon terms of perfect equality She was fond of the weak aimiable woman strongly as she censured in her youthful strength an easygoing indolence that made her homo such a scene of con fusion and discomfort and in her gentle pleasant way she endeavored to brighten that home for Mark by suggestions and offers of help that fell to It was fighting a featherbed to try to arouse Mra to any active improvement and rebuffed there Essie could only help Mark by of sympathy that Do you really and truly think Mark is a spendthrift papa Essie asked quietly Does he ever lounge about the stores or taverns as Harry Carter and James do I well no I never saw him was reluctant admission Did you ever hear that he drank or gambled or even smoked I never did Is he not regular at church Yees But oh struck in Mrs Lennox what shabby halfwashed shirts ho wears and his fingers all out of his gloves and half the buttons of his coat gone Poor Mark said Essie gently He a wife Well he need not look here for for one growled the Judge I heard Mr Thompson say week said Essie quietly that there not abetter farm in Green county i than Such a palace of a house the Judge sneered Mark is hoping to put a new house on the place next year He has had over from hut they said the old house is beyond repair and it would cost less to build a new H DENTAL ft Dentist Block opposite the Methodist Vitalised Air for J Rogers Resident Aurora to the late Dr Street Aurora Dr p Death

employed gave a surly refusal to aid upon the ground that his reg ular routine of shiftless farming took all his time and Mark patiently sub mitted He was years old when into his monotonous life came a new hope bright- as a vision almost as- baseless fell in love He did not- walk in cautiously counting his steps and weighing his but he fell plump suddenly hopelessly There had been a warm discussion I at tho Judges about inviting Mark to the party that was to celebrate Testes eighteenth school But the pet of fouae had a will of her own lively reflection of Marks and boyish tries and fcwiug invited Mark carrying in do the work that lies under my hand ho said hard as it is But Essie and his face brightened do you know that already I have made farm pay double what it has ever Next

severance and energy in the face of the hardest discouragements a young man ever had to fight Eh said the Judge What See what he has done said Essie still in an even quiet tone that carried conviction far more than an excited one Eight years ago when he was but a boy be put his shoulder to the wheel and took his play time between school hours to and clear away stones Nobody helped him He was ridiculed sneered at discouraged on all sides He had the poorest form in the place and he has made it one of the best He has put every spare dollar into books on agriculture im proved machines good stock He has now four men at work with him good horses good cattle good poultry and will have a good house Papa do you not think it will be a pity to leave the house in the care of Mrs to ruin as she has the old one Out doors the management is all left to Mark and see what he has done But a man cannot make a home comfortable alone he needs a wife Well said the Judge him have one but not child Still he loves roe said Essie and I love him said the Judge and he marched out of the house But proud as was he was just he loved Essie He had let prejudice influence hira against Mark all his life now he took pains to find out how of his dislikes was wellfounded Grudgingly enough was the verdict given in Marks favor did not willingly acknowledge it had been wrong in its estimate and shoulder upon Mark all the faulta of his an cestors But the facts were strong and Lennox found himself con fronted by them Slowly for he was convinced ha took respect into the place of contempt and rafter a month of patient investigation sent for Mark The interview was a frank manly one the old gentleman not being given to halfhearted measures of any kind He admitted his former prejudices and heartily commended the young man who had struggled so nobly When your new house is finish ed said the Judge you will need a wife A man who can make his way against wind and tide as you have done deserves a happy home The Judge being a power in public opinion veered around as engagement was announced new house being completed Essie be came Mrs gladly resigning her feeble reign And under the new reign it was wonderful to see how even the old people smartened up They had no chronic objection to cleanliness if one else did ne cessary work and Mark and Essie to govern- the farm so lost its old name could scarcely Ann- to day villa to repeat that Mirk came of V GLACIERS PLOWED THIS PATHWAY TO THE KLONDIKE Winter in the Klondike Si traverse bogs and morasses and wade through streamn Provisions
