An anient epirit dwells with Christian
love,—
The eagle's vigor in the pitying dove:
’Tis not enough that we with sorrow
sigh.
That we the wants of pleading man
supply;
That we in sympathy wilh sufferers
feel,
jjor hear a grief without a wish to
heal.—
Not these sufllee; to sickness, pain,
Mini woe,
The Christian spirit loves with aid
to go;
Will not be sought, waits not for Want
to plead,
Hut seeks the duty,—nay, prevents
the need ;
Her utmost aid to every ill applies,
And plants relief for coming miseries.

CHAPTER VII.
VAL MARTIN.
IIILE these un
toward events
were occurring at
the jewelry shop
and the police
office, an affair
of a different na
ture was being
! ransacted at the
house of Mrs.
Nolen.
A couple of
weeks had passed
since Valentino
Martin liad called
on Mrs. Nolen
" and her daugh
ter, so that his appearance there that
day had something of the charm of nov
elty. Mrs. Nolen, however, was too
much upset by her interview witli Percy
to be able to extend the visitor a welcome,
and that duty therefore devolved upon
Pauline. The latter, it may be observed,
had not been informed of her brother's
pecuniary troubles, and only know that
her mother was for some reason greatly
distressed. She came down stairs and
found Valentine in the library.
Judge Ketelle had pronounced Pauline
a beautiful girl; and beauty was her most
noticeable external quality; hut it was
not her chief claim to distinction among
those who knew tier. She was finely or
ganized and trained in mind as well as
body, and possessed a charm separate
from any physical attraction. It was not
that site was a learned young woman;
she never embarrassed any one by re
vealing the presence of more information
than might reaso tably bo supposed to
belong to her; but there was in her ex
pression a spirit and understanding that
promised whatever was delightful in
mental scenery and tone. Her tempera
ment was calm and equable because it
was deep and healthy; it could not be
aroused save for adequate cause, but
when aroused it would clothe itself in
power. This wide and vigorous nature
would go on ripening and enriching
itself long after ordinary people dry up
and dwindle away. Paulino could not ;
bo measured or assigned her definite and
fixed place in human nature. Her sym
pathies were broad, and what she might
do or bo depended rather upon the de
mands made upon her than upon any
limitations in herself.
The young Englishman, after the first
conventional tilings were said, did not
appear to be in a loquacious mood. He
replied in monosyllables to Pauline's ob
servations, but his eyes kept returning
to fix themselves upon her with an ex
pression of somber thoughtfulness.
“Are you getting tired of America? 1 '
she asked him at length.
“I have enjoyed some of it,
much,” he replied. “I wish I
known, years ago, what I should
when I came here.”
“Would you have come sooner?''
“It isn't that; but I should have left
undone some things that I have done in
the past A fellow is generally a fool in
tlio beginning. He gets sense after a
while, but the things the fool did re
main—worse luck!”
“If they did not, you would never
grow wise.”
“What is the use of wisdom, if itonly
makes a man curse himself for having
been not wise?”
“What do you expect wisdom to bring
you?”
“It ought to bring fortune and happi
ness, but it doesn’t.”
“No," wise [>eople don't seem to be
happy or fortunate. Dut they are wise;
they should expect to pay for that."
"Very true, Miss Nolen; wo can't eat
our cake and have it, too. But 1 might
have been content to have eaten my cake,
if only it hadn't turned out to be made
of bran and shavings. How would you
like to hear my strange, eventful his
tory? It has never been published.”
“I would like to hear the real life of a
man—what lie thought and felt. But
that is the part the stories leave out."
“Well, the whole truth is a vulgar and
sordid affair; a good deal of it is. And
there’s a reason for it, too. For it is
chiefly the analysis Of a lie. ”
"That is not the truth's fault.”
“Oh, of course not; the children of
light always have the best of the argu
ment! There has been plenty of muck
in my career, but plenty of variety and
adventure, too. Younger sons have that
advantage, at least, over Urn ciders.”
“According to our American way of
thinking, it is no advantage to inherit a
great estate. It can only tempt a man
to bo like his ancestors. I would choose
to bs a younger son myself."
“If it were a matter of choice, perhaps
those most concerned might more often
agree with you. But, if you are born a
younger son, your preferences uro not
consulted; and it is not in human nature
to enjoy having even a good tiling
crammed down your throat. However,
I will say for my governor—he was Sir
Henniker Martin, of Derwent Hall, near
Kiswick, Cumberland—that he did very
fairly by me, as a whole. To begin with,
lie laid the foundation of my future dis
content by giving me what is called a
lilierai education—tlie Eton and Oxford
business, you know. I distinguished
myself in both places."
"Not for scholarship?”
"Since you will have it, no; hut for
running up debts. The trouble with me
was, 1 was too good a fellow. 1 was the
most popular fellow in Eton, at the time
I left it: 1 had documentary evidence of
that."
'‘Documentary?"
“Yes. When a boy leaves Eton, the
fellows who liked him each give him a
book—something swell, you know, hound
In calf, and all tliat, such as lie will be
sure not to spoil by reading It too much.
WeB, I got a hundred and eighty of
thoM Tea vine hooks.’ as they cadi ’em."
“Yes, and ai! gone now, like the popu
larity. It was the saine nay at Oxford,
only bigger bills and less innocence But
the governor paid up like a men. and
then got me a clerkship in the foreign of
flee. If he had made me chief secretary
of foreign affairs, I might have imekh !l
down to business; hut tlio clerkship only
made had worse. Easy hours, lighi
work. Of course I went out into soehiv
head over oara. No end of friends-lots
of popularity! You never saw such a
clever, goci looking, good humored chap
as I waj I had no time to waste in mv
office; my chiefs began to growl, at last

good and that ho was tired paying for it.
gave mo two thousand pounds and ;n>
outfit and packed ms-off to New Zealand
It was to bo sink or stviiu, as luck tnigli!
have it, but no more life preservers from
the old gentleman!”
“Were you popular there, too?”
■‘It’severy man for himself there. 1
went to Napier—Hawke’s Bay—the beat
sheep farming country in tlio colony
There I ran across a chap I had known
at Eton, Cartwright Brown his name
was; ho had a station (that’s what they
call a ranch out there), Matapiro, on the
banks of tho Ngararoro river. Well,
Cartwright initiated me into tho myster
ies of sheep farming, docking, tailing,
and all tho rest of it Very different
from Mayfair and Piccadilly, I can tell
you!”
“Was there no society out there?”
“Very entertaining society in Napier,
and plenty of it. Oh, yes, there are
women everywhere,” said Valentine; and
lie was client for a time, and seemed to
lose himself in revery. “There was a
neighbor of Brown’s, Hector Pope, be
tween us and Napier; I invested my
money in his ranch, and got to spending
a good deal of my time there and at the
club in town. I didn’t scrimp myself
much; I kept a couple of race horses
and played unlimited loo at the club;
my sheep and my other investments had
to take care of themselves. You can
imagine what tho end would be, with
out my telling you."
“Mr. Martin,” said Paulino, “you have
left out something! You would not
have gone on in that way if you had not
liad some experience that influenced
you.” Ho raised his head and looked at
her; after a moment she added, “I don’t
mean tliat you should tell it You lost
your money, you were saying?”
“All but flfty pounds, and a heap of
clothes. I packed tlio clothes In my
trunks, forty of tho fifty pounds I handed
to Brown to employ as events might re
quire; and I was just on tho point of
shipping for Australia when a Maori
outbreak in tho Taupo district was re
ported. I came to tho conclusion that I
was probably bom to bo shot; so I en
tered the service as full private in the
Aimed Constabulary. You have heard
of tho Irish Constabulary. This was
something of tho same sort.
“I enjoyed that campaign more than
anything In New Zealand” The Maoris
are splendid chaps for a fight. You have
your Indian wars hero; but you should
see those fellows! Well, one day we had
to attack a hill wlilch the Maoris were
posted, it was about tho shape of a bee
hive, and covered with trees; IS was
called Niho o to Kiore, which means
Rat’s Tooth. That tooth gnawed a big
hole in our regiment. The Maoris had
posted themselves in the trees—up in the
branches—and had made a sort of glacis
round tho trunks; it was capital cover;
they could see our fellows coining, and
pot them at their leisure; but our fire
was wasted on tho trees. If wo got too
near, they would slip down from one
tree and run to ar other. Our men kept
dropping, but thoro was nq sign that wo
were producing any effect on them at
all. By and by the men came to the
conclusion that tho fun was too expen
sive, and they began to fall bock. Of
course the Maoris followed us—pretty
fast, too. I hated the idea of getting
shot In the back; I liad a few rounds of
cartridges left, and 1 kept drawing up
and popping at 'em. Brown was near
mo at that time. It was bad going
under foot—rocks, bush os, gullies; all of
a sudden I felt something hot just be
neath my collar bone—a bullet through
tho left lung, I remember feeling
pleased that I hadn’t been hit in the back
after all; then I stumbled over a root
and went down. Brown saw mo—ho
was a lieutenant—ho hailed tnree of our
men, and they lifted mo and carried me.
I was pretty heavy and vety bloody, and
I had fainted, opd the men thoughts was
dead and began to grumble,for the Maoris
were closing up. Thov wanted to drop
me, but Brown pulled out his revolver
and vowed he’d shoot the first man who
let go. As that was a certainty, whereas
there was a chance of dodging the
Maoris, they held on, and brought) me
off. I got well and was promoted to a
lieutenancy—what foy I never discov
ered. Before I could be about again the
war was over. I went back to Napier,
and there I heard that Miss Dorrien Tay
lor, my mother's sister, was dead, and
bad left me eight thousand pounds. I
took a part of it and sailed for Aspinwall
and camo up to New York."
“Did you leave the rest of your legacy
witli Mr. Brown?”
“Yes; and you were quite right. It
was on tlio vogago out from London.
There was a woman on board. When
we reached Napier I married her secretly.
Brown was the only man who ever knew
it. It was not a wise affair, Miss Nolen.
She is living; she will outlive me. I
knew I should have to tell you, and I’ve
done itl”
CHAPTER VIII.
A REVELATION,
F you have a wife
why do you not
live with her?”
Paulino asked,
her calm black
eyes dilating a
little as she
turned them on
Valentine.
“Pm not en
tirely a free agent
In tho matter.
We were mistak
en jn each other
—that’s the long
and short of it.
She captivated
me as women will sometimes captivate
men when circumstances are favorable,
and a long sea voyage Is a very xavorable
circumstance. Then, for her part, she
expected certain advantages from the
marriage which it was not in my power
to provide for her. It was a mutual
misunderstanding. After the explana
tion, oho went her way and left me to go
mine. She did not ask my consent, and
I did not enforce my authority. But
whatever I have she hijs a right to share;
and whatever cannot be shared I have
no right to have.”
“I am sorry for you,” said Pauline, in
a tone that conveyed more [than many
assurances.
“There’s no help for It,” returned
Valentine, with on assumption of indif
ference, “not oven in the law.”
“You mean you cannot be divorced?”
“She will not consent to it,”
“Why not?”
“Because she happens to know that
my eldest brother is in delicate health,
and that nothing stands between me and
a fortune except his life. But let us talk
of something else. I am thinking of
leaving town."
••Tn the vufdat of the CAason/”
i pretty much alike to
r York will not be a
ir me any h
changed.
“The seasons are
me. Besides, New
pleasant residence for me any longer.
“Has New York changed, cr have
you?"
“The change is In my relations with
you, Miss Nolen,” said Valentine, leaning
forward with his elbows on his knees.
“I can't come here any more. As long
as I could keep up my false pretenses - -
us long as you did not know me to be a
married man—I could take advantage of
your ignorance. But I have con mitted
hari-kari, so far as that is concerned, and
it’s time I disappeared.”
“It is not keeping any false pretenses
to he silent about your past life.”
“Not in the abetract, perhaps; but in
this case it is.”
“Why, Mr. Martin?”
“May 1 tell you? You won’t be of
fended?” But without waiting for her
answer, and as if fearing tnat it might
be unfavorable, he added, hurriedly: “I
have no right, being a married man, to
feel towards you as I da At first J didn’t
care. When I first saw you I knew it would
be better for myself to keep out of your
way; but then I thought that It could
make no difference to you—you would
never know what I felt for you—and
that I might as well endure the pain for
tho sake of enjoying tho pleasure. But
since then my feeling has changed. You
are not the kind of woman who ought to
bo the object of the love of a man in my
position, even though you wero not
aware of it, and though—as I am able
honestly to say—I would rather have
died than attempt any act of deception
towards you. I had never known before
what love was; there is a sort of sacri
lege in my hanging around you, as I
have been doing, not daring to show my
self to you as I am. Two weeks ago 1
made up my mind never to see you again.
But I couldn’t stand going off without
letting you know all about it. So here 1
am, Miss Nolen, for tho last lime. I can
look you in the face now and say good-
by. And it won’t hurt you to shake
hands with me.”
The changing tones, the passion, the
restraint and simple pathos with which
all this was said touched Ruulme's virgin
soul more deeply than it liad ever been
touched before. She divined all tliat was
not spoken, and reci gnized the gallant
spirit of the man who loved her too well
to stay where she was; and whether or
not she liad hitherto been conscious of
it, her mind now contrasted the man,
fatally encumbered as lie was, witli the
free man tliat she had supposed him to
be; and involuntarily the question pre
sented itself. Had he been free, would
she have yielded what lie desired? It
was a perilous question, hut she con
templated it steadily before dismissing
it. She had an intellect capable of dis
criminating between merely conven
tional morality and tlio deeper distinc
tions between good and evil. Her re
spect was as small for the former as for
the latter it was profound.
“If you had not cared for mo as you
do, you might have stayed, and wo have
been friends,” she said finally; “but as
it is you are right logo. I am only a
f irl—and I feel more than sorry for you;
don’t know what I might feel if you
were always here. No; I do not love
you! don’t think it, Mr. Martin. It is
only that—If I wanted to love you—I
should not send you away I”
Valentine sut silent; and whether he
were happier or unhappier than at any
previous period of his life lie could not
have told. So far os the significant part
of his life was concerned, lie felt that it
was over with him; he would never
henceforth be the victim of any strong
desires, hopes or fears. Only one possi
ble evonf would give him liberty, the op
portunity to live a real life. It was on
the tip of his tongue to ask Paulino
whether, in case this event occurred, she
would let him return to her; but an ac
cident postponed the question and it was
never put. The two had been so taken
up with what was passing between them
that they had not noticed the sound of
tho door bell or the tread of a heavy foot
upon the hall floor. But at the moment
Valentino was about to speak, perhaps,
with the effect of changing all their
lives, the door was ttirown open, and
Judge Ketelle abruptly walked into the
room.
Ho stopped short on seeing the two,
and there was an instant of silent em
barrassment; but the judge evidently
had something on his mind too serious
to lie postponed for conventional formal
ities. “My dear girl,” lie said to Pau- j
line, “you will excuse my blundering in
here, for it is probably better that I
should have met you before seeing your
mother, You will know better than I
how to carry my message. ”
“Have you had news, Judge Ketelle?'
“Painful—no, no, not the worst! your
brother is perfectly well; he has suffered
no physical injury whatever.” He paused
and turned to Valentino. “I think this
is Mr. Martin?” he said.
“Yes; con I be of any use?"
“I believe you are a friend of Percy's!
Well, I dare say you could bo of some
consolation to him. Ho has got into a
scrape—a matter in which ho is not iu
tho least to blame, however—that is, at
all events regarding the main point at
issue. It is a misfortune, but it will be
set right; hut meanwhile Mrs. Nolen
must he brought to a knowledge of it
with all tho tact possible. Indeed, if it
were not one of those things that are
certain to get into tho papers, and per
haps to becomo for a time the subject of
idle gossip, it would be best to say noth
ing to her at all.”
“I am waiting to hear what the trou
ble is,” said Pauline, in a voice entirely
calm, though her great black eyes shone
with unusual brilliance. “You needn’t
hesitate to tell me anything.”
“It is annoying—that is tho most and
least that can bo said of it. Percy is now
at pohee headquarters, my dear. He
will bo bailed out as soon as a magistrate
can be got to hear tho case; and I came
up hero in the interval.”
“Oh! been punching somebody's head,
has he?” said the Englishman, in a tone
of relief. “Where was he last night?”
“Why, ho was hero tills morning, a
few hours ago,” said Pauline. “He had
a private talk with mother. He was
not”
“Ho was entirely himself,” put in the
judge. This is one of those pieces of
bad luck which may occur to any man.
Tho circumstances were such as to sug
gest the hypothesis—though upon en
tirely inadequate grounds, in my opinion
—that Percy liad been guilty of an In
fringement of the law. You will s-aile
when you hear it; but tlio absurdity of
the thing does not render it less annoy
ing for tho moment. Ho happened to
bo in a jewelry store when a lady missed
her pocket book. It was supposed that
it had been stolen”
“And Percy was accused of taking itl"
said Pauline, in a low voice.
“In default of any other plausible ob
ject of suspicion, the detective pitched
upon him’ and ho was taken to the
station.”
“That is too preposterous to do him
any harm,” Martin remarked. “If it
had not been so bad, it would have been
a great deal worse.”
“When tho lady knows who he is, she
will refuse to prosecute him,” said Pau
line.
“So I should liave supposed,” returned
the judge. “But it appears that there
was already some acquaintance between
them; and Percy was in conversation
with her at ths time the loss waa dli-

“Who is she!" demanded Pauline, turn- A Na,ural In,Crent0

repeated Pauline. “I think I liave met

Tho judge moved his head rilently.
Martin, at the mention of tlio lady's
m. me, liad cliangcd countenance slightly.
’She must he his enemy,” said Pau
line, setting her grave lips together. “No
woman who know Percy would liave
done that except from a wish to ruin
him. Site knows ho Is not guilty.”
“Was Mr. Tunstall with his wife?” in
quired Martin of the judge.
“He came in the midst ol the affair.

“You forget that her pockctbook was
found in his pocket,” said Paulina
“She may have put it there herself.
But at all events that docs not account
for tlio bank notes New York women
are not in the habit of traveling about
town with two or three thousand dollars
in bills in their mulls. She would have
had a check, if she had had anything."
“Tlio same objection occurred to me,"
said the judge, “and I spoke of it to In
spector Byrnes. But it appeared, upon
investigation, that Mr. Tunstall, knowing
his wife had several bills to pay today,
Including this at the jeweler's, liad drawn
a check for $5,000 in the morning, and
given it to tier before going down to his
business. She has a private account at
the Fifth Avenue bank; she cashed the
check there, and received, among other
notes, tlio thousand dollar and the five
hundred dollar ones specified in the com
plaint."
“No; it was not done in that way,"
said Pauline. "A woman like her would
not dare to run such a risk. She must
liave lost the money. She may have lost
it before she entered the sliop, or soma
one may liave stolen it from her there.
But I am sure she did not accuse Percy
because she thought lie was guilty. There
was some other reason, and when she
missed her money she took advantage of
tliat pretext for attacking him. But she

matter?”
“Only a little agur, stranger,
but I thought I would shake my
self out er my hide.”
“Pve had ’em myself, friend;
ItukDr. Westmoreland’s Cali-
saya Tonic and I never have a
shake.
Good advice to a friend who
was shaking is implied in the
friend’s reply. No case of mal
aria has ever been found which
baffled its curative powers, and
one physician has used it suc
cessfully in the treatment of ty
phoid fever. It costs only $1.00
a bottle and one or two bottles
will stop the fever.
Buy it of Dr. John A. Boyd

Came Near to It.
I was at a morning wedding a
few days ago with a very pretty
and dashing girl who only a year
ago had refused the man who
was that day to wed another.
As she moved up the aisle an
usher stopped her and said:
“Pardon me ; are you a member
of the family ?” “No,” she an
swered, “I am not; but,” she
added, “give me a good seat,
for I might have been.”—Ex
change.
The First Stap.
Perhaps you are run down,
can’teat, can’tsleep, can’t think,
can’t do anything to your satis
faction, and you wonder what
ails you. You should heed the
warning, you are taking the
first step into Nervous Prostra
tion. You need a Nerve Tonic
and in Electric Bitters you will
find the exact remedy for restor
ing your nervous system to its
normal, healthy condition. Sur
prising results follow the use of
this great Nerve Tonic and Al
terative. Your appetite returns,
good digestion is restored, and
the Liver and Kidneys resume
healthy action. Try a bottle.

St. Joseph, Mo., July 13, 1889—
1 have used several gallons of
the Microbe Killer, and do not
hesitate to recommend it highly
as a general blood purifier and
tonic. It is especially good in
cases of liver and kidney trouble,
and is the only remedy I have
yet found for nervous headache.

Another child killed by the use
of opiates given in the form of
Soothing syrup. Why mothers
give their children such deadly
poison is surprising when they
can relieve the child of its pecu

Baby Soother. It contains no
Opium or Morphine. Sold by
