sb? entered fte living noni the
heard'her father say^to % guee* "So
70a th?akit would "be xmpoeaibleto trace
ron? branch of tile fara?y to that of Sir
Brne* Mildmay, who fought so well for
tbe noose of Lancaster in the old wars
rf ?e Roses? He is n^tioned, sir, in the
ancient chronicles, and ms 'scutcheon
haaftetagenet quarterings. Hiere are
of his descendants still extant in
Mr. M?dmay *s face waa terned aside,
tal Judith could see t?mt?fcs 4i?ck was
ftStjjpft'pg sSrghtry with suppressed laugh
-Why, no, sir, no; I, never heard of
Sr Bruce in my life, None of our M3d
mays has been great or distinguished
Sar anything in particular. My rather
was a very poor man, a genuine Yankee
wita * knack aft inventions, and tike
Int eu toca in general he was always
hard np. Re kept tavern, taught school,
teve n stage and speculated .in land,
and between whiles contrived a number
of useful things that have since made
tbe- fortune of other men, but nothing
ever socceeded with him. I had to work
say way through school ami college as 1
could : borrowed the money to fit myself
for my profession-that of a civil en
sanest- aud paid it by dar's wages
ramed in a shop or at farm labor, i did
UUjilifna, that would keep me going.
Happily I had inherited a little of my
father's inventive knack, and was notas
ettsOy gulled as he was, and when 1
went west and found an abandoned
mine filled with water that nobody had
been able to clean out I offered to do
it for a half share in the enterprise. 1
rigged np machinery that freed the
workings in less than a month, and the
profit turned ont tobe pretty large.**
As Mr. Mi?dway proceeded with his
account 0? himself old Ben wicks gaze
had become ?ced and stony. He bad ;
frecen again, into his stiff, formal polite?
ness. The old hidalgo look had come
back to bis high, bony features and cold,
faded brae eyes.
Mf see what yon have been striving
ter* said the old man, wearily waving
bis hand. "Success, success, th&god of
our nation; the avid love of gain; souls
trafficked for gold. Yes, sir, I know the
whole story, from A to Zed." The tone
waa rasping, icily edged. The young
man turned crimson np to the very roots
of bis bair, and instinc tivel y turned to?
ward Judith, where sue had paused hi
laying thg_ table with the poor remnants j
of the old Ben wick china. She had
caught her father's trenchant tone with
s reeling of inward dismay. She hoped
ber father weil* not bolly the young
aitaaget. patronize and condescend to
him he was sure to do, but abe knew he
waa capable of the violent outbreaks of
testy o?d age. A sympathetic glance
seemed to pass from her eyes te M?d
mey's, reassuring bim, and presently she
heard bim say in a clear, emphatic, hon?
est voice:
**I am no worshiper of money, Mr.
Ben wick. There are things 1 would
lay down millions to gain if ? had them
to command. After father died ? bad
myoid mother to care for, and, thank
God, I bare been able to place ber k e
good home and provide for her a happy
old age. i had my young sisters to edu?
cate and my brother to establish in life,
and there were other poor relatives-a
pair of aged aunts and an old decrepit
uncle. I could not let them go to tbe
almshouse. It wa? my first duty to take
care of those dependent on me.**
"Very commendable no doubt, very
commendable,** said the old man from
tbe surface of bis raise teeth and laying
together bis chilly finger tips. But he
bad gone into his shell and did not
emerge again that day.
Judith flitted out of the room after
placing the glass of autumn leaves and .
red berries in the middle of the table.
She had folded under toe frayed edges
of the tablecloth an ? placed a napkin
over a hole too much in evidence. Mrs.
Sparkler had now brought the basket of
dinner, smoking hot, to the back door,
and swiftly Judith conveyed it to the
beard. Old Kenwick took the place at
tiie bead of the table, waving Mildmay
to asear at ms right band. Judith sat
down behind the tray, but ate nothing.
Soe . waited on the guest and on ber
father with punctilious care.
"Boiled beef,** said the old man loftily,
at?ej?ng bis knife into the tender pulp
on the platter before him. 'i told you,
sir, it was pot luck, only pot lock to?
day. In my father's time, sir, the cellar
of this house was well stocked with
wine-good, sound brands of port and
Madeira-but 1 was forced to give up the
nae of wine from my gouty tendencies
some years ago, and J hope, sir, you will
pardon the omission.**
Mildmay saw Judith flush a little as
the old gentleman proceeded to draw
the long bow. and he made haste to ac?
onit himself in a suitable manner as be
raised a cracked glass to his lips con?
taining nothing more potent than water
from tbe old Kenwick welL He looked
about without seeming to notice any?
thing. At the meager table service; the
makeshifts of the frayed tablecloth, the
old caster propped on three legs, the
battered spoons, thin as shaved horn,
and the ragged napkins-all told a piti?
ful story to a man of quick perceptions,
hat Judith sat opposite. He saw ber
face framed in golden hair over Mrs.
Sparkler's tin coffeepot, and the feast
of a king wreathed with rainbows could
not have been more beautiful in ms
??yes.
Kenwick was cased in frigid civility
as in a coat of mail. Secretly he re?
gretted having asked Mildmay to din?
ner, now that he bad discovered that he
was a mere nobody, not worth wasting
his notice upon. He pressed his thin
lips, lifted his arched eyebrows and
looked discontented and unhappy.
But a current of sympathy had estab?
lished itself between Judith's blue eyes
and Mildmay *s hazel orbs. It seemed to
Mildmay like fine crossing lines of
light with electric vibrations. He un?
derstood all the difficulties and humilia?
tions of her life without an explanatory
word. He never knew what he put into
his mouth at that dinner, but strangely
enough, even while Judith tripped
around the table changing the old
cracked plates and Kenwick remained
sunk rn himself, a stream of merry talk
seemed to flow between them. Mild?
may waa to her girlish apprehension the
most unassuming and natural of men, ?
gad aber hid lived so 1003 with proton- i
sion sod unreality that naturalness was
of ali things delightful to her.
I iWhen ?his meal-as miraculously pro
vided as if brought by ravens or angels
?wa?finished,Mildmay, strangely enough,
displayed no disposition to take himself
?way. Old Rea wick, as usual after din?
ner, had betaken himself to his place by
the fire in his great shabby easy chair
and had lighted his long stemmed pipe,
ita and the stranger sat in another
the large room, where the low
afternoon sun came in through the win?
dow and touched his blond head and
her golden one. She was sewing fast
and deftly on a piece of needlework she
had taken fronrthe Ladies* Aid society
m ike hope of earning a few shillings
for her pressing needs, Mfidmay sat and
watched her for awhile, saying a word
. dr two now and again in a low voice.
When the old man's regular breathing
! same to his ear, interrupted occasion?
ally by short, brusque snores, Mildmay
leaned over toward Judith and said con
fideatially :
4 4 lam afraid 1 have fallen ont of favoi
with your father. He seems to be less
cordial than at first,"
without raising her head gave
reproachful little glance ont of
..ta* corner of her eye.
**Way could you not pretend to be
descended from Slr-Bruce Mildmay?
Ton might have belonged to a remote
branch, but still distinctly of that house,
with the Plantagenet quarterings in
yo? coa t of arms. **
*4By heavens, Miss Hen wick, if I had
only known,'* exclaim ec1, Mihnay, *i
would have sworn on the good book that
Sir Bruce was my revered great ancestor;
that 1 have his rusty coat of arms, his
shield and b?ttleax at this moment hung
np in the baronial hall,, and I would have
forged j arda of parchment to prove my
??For an inventive man." said Judith,
with a shy smile, "who had cleared an
abandoned mine of water by improved
machinery, you did appear to me singn
? iarly wanting.**
"What can 1 do to win your fbrgive
! ness for my stupidity,** he asked, still
garcing in laerjacc.^.-.
.*1 don't ?cnow,* she answered, with a
! sug>ressed sigh, **it may prove a more
serions matter to ns than you think.
? Father has old time notions deeply m
I grained, and 1 fear he is growing some?
what childish. If he thought you be?
longed to an ancient race he would trust
you, because be so firmly believes that
noblesse oblige. He was not brought np
with business habits and has been sadly
taken in by speculators, .and- now if he
thought you belonged to that class he
weald refuse to sell the western land,
and wo do so need the money. I can't
. make him understand how poof we are. *
- The last words were given in a thrilling
whisper.
Mildmay felt that this young girl
had made a direct appeal to him for
help In her trouble. He colored and
looked embarrassed, and for a moment
remained silent.
Judith drew back ashamed and aston?
ished at herself for having betrayed so
much to a total stranger. She sat there
covered with confusion, unable to speak
or attempt an explanation, when a
confused sound of feet was heard invad?
ing the kitchen, and in a moment the
door burst open, and Mrs. Sparkler ap?
peared, followed by her husband with
Sally in his arms, and Prue holding on
to the tail of his coat. The children
were tattered and torn, hands and faces
quite black with dirt, and hair in a wild
tangle,

** Castoria is aa excellent medicine for chil?
dren. Mothers have repeatedly told me of its
good effect upon their children."
D.T. G. C. OSGOOD,
Lowell, Miss.
* Castoria is the best remedy for cbiWren of
which 1 am acquainted. I hope the day is no*
far distant when mothers will consider the real
interest of their children, and use Castoria in?
stead of the various quack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their throats, thereby sending
them to premature graves."
