REWARDING (
A rich man's little- daughtor
Left ber nurse and strayed away,
And rau out upon the car track,
Where she loitered long at piny,
Caring nothing tor the trolley
As lt whlrrod around the bend,
Knowing nothing of the angel
. That was waiting to descend;
The rioh mnn stood and trembled
With his darling on his breast,
And the motorman was lauded
And bis bands were proudly pressod !
By a hair's breadth be had saved her
He bad acted Just ia time
And the people called bim nobb,
And pronounced his deed sublime.
Tho rioh man ?aro him money,
Oave bim lund and gave him prnise,
Gave him presents for his children,
Made him glud iu many ways.
And, at night, knelt with bis .jar!?ag
And implored the Lord to guide
Tho bravo motorman from duugcr
And to save him when ho diod.

Young Tr. Henderson read with
surprise Miss Harrington's note ask
ing him to call that same evening.
Only that morning tho twain, agree
ing that what they had considered a
life engagement was all a mistake and
would better bo ended, had parted,
and the doctor was at a loss to ac
count for this recall.
"What can she want?" he mut
tered. "I thought we said hil there
was to say this '? morning-more, too,
maybe-and I don't know of any more
gifts to be retnrnod," and. he smiled
grimly at the miscellaneous assort
ment of packages on his centre table.
"Can ?ho be trying to make it np?"
and, though knowing the thought to
be preposterous, he W03 conscious of
a thrill
Miss Harrington received him in n
small room, almost a deu, opening out
of the library; it was here that they
had passed their happiest hours. She
did not offer to shake hands, aud he
caught himself thinkiug how very be
coming that cool little bow of hers
was; lie had never noticed it before.
"Of course you were surprised at
my asking you to call," she began,and
then paused for him to deny it, which
he, with even the slightest regard for
truth for truth's sake, could not do.
"Do yon know why I have sent for
you?" Mis3 Harrington asked, indig
nation growing stronger in her voice.
Considering that only that morning
lie had been convinced that her favor
or disfavor could never more be to him
a matter of cou cern, ho now felt a
8 tra uga sorrow, almost fear, at her
ovideu anger; he paused a moment to
draw in .with a long whiff thc warmth
and.coziuestfof this little room-they
had spout some delightful evenings
Lere; then, in answer to her questiou,
liBTmrde-^ '
anpposed she wanted to see him.
She looked at him scornfully.
"No," she declared,. "I did not
wish to see you. I am leaving the
city tomorrow morning; so are you, iu
another direction. I have something
of yours, something you had forgotten,
which I thought too valuable to seud
you by mail or messenger,so there re
mained nothing but for you to come
in person and get it." ...
The doctor shook his head sadly. .
"I'm-I'm sorry," ho faltered,apol
ogetically, "but I can't imagino.what
you mean," .
There is some scorn too groat for
words-for a time at least.
Miss Harrington walked swiftly
across the room to the mantel, and re
turning, placed ou the table a small
red plush case; opened, this showed a
handsome diamond ring within. Step
ping back from the table, she clasped
her hands behind her, and looked at
him without a word.
Ho stared with puckered brows,
first at the ring, then at the girl.
"Our engagement ringi" she an
nounced finally, when the silence had
lasted as long as she could stand.
"Oh, surely not!" he answered
quickly. "You gave me that this
morning-"
"And you thonght so little of it, it
was to yon a matter of such little im
portance, that you went off and forgot
it, left it lying here on the table," sho
interrupted.
"I beg your pardon. I have a dis
tinct recollection of taking it with me."
To himself ho was saying, "I always
knew you were pretty, but not this
pretty."
"Yon are certainly mistaken," said
the girl
"I remember distinctly placing it in
my right hand lower vest pocket,"
and. he clasped his hand to the spot
indicated.
"Thatis impossible."
Did yon ever hear two children dis
puting? "I did." "You didn't"
"I did." "You didn't." Hearne to
Dr. Henderson that they were fast
approaching that stage. He pulled
himself together to crush her with one
fine masculine stroke.
*1 have too much respect, Miss Har
rington," he said, with great dignity,
**not only for your feelings, but for
my own, to treat so lightly as you
have insinuated the seal of our en
gagement. Had I been so careless as
to forgot it, as you charge, I concede
that you >. would have a right to con
sider yourself slighted, if not in
sulted, but if you know the true state
of my heart you would instantly real
ize that your charge is absnrd. A mo
ment's consideration should havo con
vinced you of this, or if your knowl
edge of me was not sufficient a simple
examination of this ring, to descend
to material things, should have bee?.
But, womanlike, you rush ahead, act
ing on mere impulse, and, of course,
blundered."
He picked up the ring, a handsome
diamond solitaire, to point out to her
wherein she had been so foolish. His
face wore a sarcastic, withering smile,
but as he glanced at the inner surface
of the ringt his expression slowly
froze, for there stared bim in the face
this legend: "A. H. -M. H."
And what did "A.H.-M. H." siam
for but "Arthur Henderson-Mary
Harringto i?"
Seeing his surprise, his dismay, the
girl laughed grim'y.
"Xow," sho Faid, "I sapposo even 1
your-shall wo say assutauco-will
hardly permit yon to deuy longer that
yon forgot your enagement ring,"
Ho was still ?tariug at the ring with
apparently nothing at ail to say.
)UR HEROES.
Tbo rich man's little daughter
Lav upon her bed one day,
Aud her lips wuro parched with fever,
And all hope bud ebbed away,

But no crowd pressed round the doctor,
And no bnppy cboors wore heard;

. of a Rino;.
Misa Harrington took a step back
ward, and with a little bow said:
"I believe I remarked earlier in this
interview, Dr. Henderson, that my
only purpo3o in sending for you was
to restore to you your property. "
.At this curt dismissal tho doctor
rose quickly to his feet, coloring
slightly.
"I nm going," ho 'said, bnt he made
no move in that direction. Instead
he leauod both bauds on the odge of
the table and stared fixedly across it
at Miss Harrington. -His brow was
puckered up in deep wrinkles, but
whether ho was thinking of the girl
or tho ring cannot bo said with cer
tainty.
"I am going," he repeated, "but-<
but I dcu't understand it I was
nugry tbis morning, I adinif,aud acted
foolishly-" ho paused to mutter to
himself in a kind of wonder, "Lord,
what an awful ass I must have been
toj let this girl get away when I had
her"-"but when you handed me my
ring it gave me a shock, made mo real
ize then, as I had not before, what
we wore doing. Ha(L.I not felt that
it was too late I would then and there
have retracted and apologized for
every hasty-"
"Yon are pleading, thou, I am to
understand," she broke in, cal tingly,
"the severe shock as your excuse for
forgetting the ring, that it so be
numbed, paralyzed your senses'

interview."
When she commenced spe* the
doctor had stopped. But he L..UI not
beou listening; he had been thinking.
Now he went on slowly, aB though
she had not interrupted him:
"I took it homo, straight home-I
laid it on the table while I filled and
lighted my pipe-I had it iii my hand
for almost an hour while I was smok
ing und thiuking"-he was impressive
ly laying off to her with his linger each
link of his chain of retrospection-"I
then locked it in a small safe I have in
my bedroom. When I started here
this evening"-his face broke into a
triumphant smile-"I put it in my
left hand lower vest pocket, and here
Blip .is," and sure enough he pulled
out a riug.
He picked np the other, and, hold
ing them together, carefully compared
them. They were exactly alike in
every particular, sizo, shapo, sottiug,
brilliancy, and in both were engraved
letters, "A. H.-M. H."
He passed them acros9 to Miss Har
rington, whose turn it :now was to
sho v,- astonishment.
"I-I don't understand it," she
faltered.
"Nor I," said Dr. Henderson,stern
ly. 'Ton seem to have a plurality of
ongagement rings to keep a stock on
hand, as it were."
The girl flushed.
"Of course you know that I never
Lad but one engagement ring," she
said.
She was stoopiug to defend herself,
so the doctor went on the more se
verely.
"indeed! Yet here are two. I can
not undertake to say how many more
you may have with your initials 'H.
M.' in them. I suppose that even
your-shall we say assurance-will
hardly permit yon to say that I was
the giver of both. The rather nn
nsnal circumstance of two of your
fiances having the same initials has
probably been the cause of your mis
take-a very natural oue undor the
circumstances. I do not know who
the other- . shall I say lucky?-fellow
-Oh! 'A. H.' might be Ab Higgin
son."
"Mr. Higginson's name is Talbot,
as you very well know," the girl put
in.
"Hum-well-maybe it is. I don't
care. Itr doesn't make any difference
who the other fellow is-or are. The
fact remains that yon had other en
gagement rings at tho same time yon
had mine. Why you chose to add in
sult to injury by trying to make out
that I was tho faithless one I cannot
imagine. Such brazen-"
"Dr. Henderson, your conduct is
insufferable. I will hear your insults
no longer."
"Can you deny what I have said?"
"Of course I can, and do. I know
nothing of this other ring you have
brought. It has your initials,'A. H.,'
iu it, too, remember. How nm I to
kuow that it is not one yon intended
for some other girl who happens to
have my initials? Trobably you were
?" vour way to sea her when you got
my note."
Just here the library door opened,
and Miss Harrington's younger
brother Gus appeared. G ii?~.was a
college senior,, a class of young men
not often thrown off their dignity, but
lha belligerent attitude of tho two oc
cupants of. the room visibly startled
bim.
"I beg your pardon," he faltered.
"I-er-did not know anyone was ia
here. I was looking for-er-some
thing I thought I had left iu here."
He drew back as though ' to leave'
the room, and then his gaze falling pu
the plush case in his sister's hand, he
stopped.
"Why, that's the very thing I waa
looking for,'* he said,coming.forward?
a slight flush on his face; aud taking
it from her unresisting hand.
"Say! young man," asked, tho doc
tor suddenly seeing a light, "is that
ring yours?" ;
Mr. Harrington drow himself np ta
his full height and answered with dig
nity:
"It is."
"Well, that's all right," bogan the
doctor, "whnn:-"
"Why, what are. you going to du
with a ring like that Gus?" eagerly
asked his sister.
"What does a man usually do with
a ring like this?" asked Mr. 'Harring
ton, in reply, stretching himself
another inch. "I am going to give it
to tho young lady I intend to marry."
"Oh, Gus, is it Mary Harbison?''
"Yes," he admitted,* the dignified
senior disappearing iu- the happy,
proud boy. "How did you know?"
"Ihen, my dear sir," said the doc
tor, with a relieved laugh, "I suppose
the 'A. H.'-M.A.' in that ring stands
for . Augustus Harrington - Mary
Harbison?' "
. "And I supposed of conrse that it
was for Mary Harrington," laughed
thc young lady of that nama
"Humph!" sniffed her brother con
temptuously. "Think you are the
only girl in'tho United States named
Mary?" and (hen, feeling that ho was
not being treated with proper dignity,
he s" ul ked from the room. -
When Gus shut the.door, somewhat
loudly, Dr. Henderson and Miss Har
rington were standing at i'opposite
tides of tho table, but before he could
ho.ve'taken twoeteps.this was,filtered.
The docior marched boldly round to
her side.
"None but ' the have deserve the

to me like au opportunity to undo my

a try for it, anyhow. Mary," he said
aloud, taking her hand ia his, "I have

that he should be buried in the church
yard "six yards underground;" and
that 40 shillings apiece should be paid
annually to five poor boys of the
parish, who, on the anniversary of
his death, with their hands laid on the
gravestone, should repeat by heart
the Lord's prayer, the creed, and the
commandments, rend I Corinthians,

chapter. Later the number of boys
participating in the charity has been
increased from five to seven. This
year 16 boys offered to compete, but
only ll attended. The first seven
were successful, aud the unsuccessful
boys were each presented with half a
crown, while tho five non-competitors

THE BAD B01
William R, George's Syst
less Street Waifs
Oy D. t.
The George Junior Republic at '
Frcovill?, N. Y., is, perhaps, the most
retnarkablo community ever dovised.
This extraordinary reformatory is lit
erally a nation in miniature, with its
own parliament and laws; its own
coinage, police, prisons, shops, farms,
newspapers, hotels, banks, etc. The
founder of this Republic is Mr. Will- ;
iam R. George. . Some years ago he j
became muoh interested.in problems
concerning juvenile law-breakers and
"incorrigibles" in New York City,
and made up. his mind to try the ex
periment of faking them away from
their evil surroundings in.the city, and
giving-them a chance to'.reform in
the oountry. . At first the experiment
was not wholly a success. ' but gradu
ally.the scheme of a self-governing!
Republic was perfected,.and with the-1
very-best of results. July 10th, 1895f
is counted as "Independence Day,"
nud is colcbrated each year.
The smallest Republic in the world
is likewise the most extraordinary
and probably tho best governed. It is
diminutive in territory, in tho number
of its inhabitants, and in the age and
size of its citizens. And yet there
aro few of tho best characteristics of
the largest democracies which have
not their counterpart in tho smallest.
Tho interest taken in tho enterprise
is shown from the fact that on some
days duriug tho summer they have
over 200 visitors.
The George Junior Ropnblio, as it
is called, ia located at Treeville, in
Tompkins County, "New York. Its
citizens aro boys and girls, gathered
largely from tho slams of great cities.
Most of them have "histories" more
inteoestiug than creditable. They
have been horse thieves, pickpockets,
runaways, and on the whole, very
promising candidates for jails, peni
tentiaries, "dives" and the gallows.
At the Republio, however, they are
soon transformed into independent,
thrifty, law-making, law-abiding citi- j
zens.
Thc territory of t_te Republio con

not far from Itbica. There are only

store; tho Government building, in
cluding court-house, jail, Capitol and
postoffice; a girls'jail; a hospital; a
barn; a laundry and bath-house; a
carpenter and mae?ine shop. Money
for a chapel has also recently been
givon. The land is good farming, and
fine crops of hay, grain and vegetables
are raised every year. Horses, cows,
pigs, etc., are also kept to advantage.
This little Republic ia a government
of the children for the children and
by th? children. The citizens are
bbys and girls from twelve to eighteen
ol ago. Those under twelve are
minors, and mast have guardians ap
pointed by the State from the older
citizens. Many of these guardians
have shown themselves to be wise,
tactful and loving caretakers of the
little onos intrusted to their charge.
When the minors cannot fully support
themselves their guardiuns must look
out for thom, so that the State is not
encumbered with their support. The
total number of inhabitants of the Re
publio is now eighty-six.
"Formerly, the Government was
modeled after that of the United
States, with President (at a salary of
fifty cents a week), a Cabinet, Senate,
House of Representatives and Su
preme Court. Judges, police officers,
and other officials must pass a Civil
Service examination, and in conse
quence the most thumbed books in the
library of tho Republic are those con
taining the penal and civil codo of
New York State. All tenure of offico
is dependent upon upright behavior.

j tain to the distinction of the vertically
' stripecL^rousers. Most of them in
deed would rather bo "cop" than Presi
dent. In 189G a force of fourteen
policemen was necessary to preserve
order, but now the State is encum
bered with the support of only two.
There is, of course, a smart little
army.
Tho position of Chief Justice, Civil
'Servico Commissioner,Board of Health
Commissioner, Sheriff, and in fact
almost every prominent civic office
excepting that of Coroner-has its
counterpart in this Junior Bepublic.
There is evou an officer detailed in
the early fall to compel lazy truants
to attend school. The representative
form of government, however, was
found to be too unwicldly for so small
a Bepublic, and at the suggestion of
one of the boys a town meeting was
substituted for Congress as the law
making body.
There are two political partios in
tho Bepublic, the "G. G. P.," or Good
Government Party and tho "3. O.

habit. Consequently an amendment
was passed which made a citizen liable
to arrest and punishment if oven tho
smell of smoke could be detected in
his breath. Tho ponai ty is a lino of
from one dollar to throe dollars, or
from ono to three days in the work- <
house.
Gambling of any sort re?oives no
quarter from tho officials. Tho first
boy caught "shooting craps" was no
less a personage than a member of the
Senate- of the Republic; and even
though he pleaded gnily, tho judge
fined him twenty-five dollars. He re
fused to pay. He lost not only his
seat in the Sonate but also his rights
of citizenship, and he was obliged to
don the ignominious striped suit of a
convict and break stone at five ceuts
an hour. One night Mr. George him
self was 'passing his prison eell and
spoke to the boy, advising him to pay
up and get out o? prison. "No, I
won't do it," the boy answered; and
then, with the steady wit of the street
urohin, he added: "I guess Til take
the small-pox to-night and break out."
Some days, lalor, however, as he was
breaking stone, he suddenly threw
down his hammer, threw up his hands
in atragio manner, and exclaimed; "I
surrender! March me to me bank ac
count"
When we remember that these
laws against swearing, gambling,
smoking and other vices, with their
heavy penalties attached, are of the
boys'-own making,* and are enforced
by the boys with a rigor which shows
a' strong public sentiment against the
evils, we have some idea of the success
which has attended this most interest
ing effort at self-government.
The jail is no playhouse, but has
small cells with bars and high win
dows, the hardest of beds, and unmis
takable prison fare. Upstairs is the
court-room, containing, among other
things, a trap-door for the entrance of
the prisoner, an imposing high desk
for the jndge, and a jurors' bench.
There ie also a small apace railed off

seats for interested listeners. Tho
sessions of the oourt are most orderly
and impressive. The pros and cons
aro carefully weighed; evidence is
called for in the proper order, and
most heart-stirring appeals are made
to the jury. Only one case of bribery
hr.s ever been discovered, end off that
occasion tho guilty official was im
mediately deposed, and suffered dis
grace as well as legal penalties.
But the citizens of the Bepublio
spend a comparatively small part of
their time malting laws and breaking
them. Each must be at work earning
his or her own living. ? Bear in mind
that the motto of the Bepublic is,
"Nothing without labor," and this
motto is strictly adhered to, except
in case pf sickness. *Every' citizen is
supposed to work and earn enough
money to pay for his board and
clothes. There are two adult head
farmers, as well as a carpenter and a
honsekcoper, who superintend the
work ; but the boys themselves take
contraots for running the hotels,
making roads, laying drains, farming,
building, eto. These contractors hire
laborers at wages ranging from fifty
cents to $1.50 per day, according to
the skill of the workman. The girls
are employed at household duties,
