THE EQIIPTE
BY SOPHI]
Tho Rov. Adoniram Drew was
paoing to and fro in his little study,
aud every footstep seomod to fall,
upon his daughter Angelica's honrt.
Ho had stayed at homo from ohuroh
meoting boonuso sho had porsuadod
him, much as tho widow porsundod
tho unjust judge, to write a lotter to
tho chu roh, whioh Deacon Mudgott
was to road. Ho could not boar, to
hoar it road-tho dear, sonsitive, un
practical father I
Ang?lica did not repent of what
i'.he had dono, but sho thought tho
inoronso of salary should have boon
given without thc asking ; sho
thought tho people should have
known that a mau with threo ohild
ren could not live on six hundred
dollars a year. They certainly know
that ho wroto beautiful sermons that
had boon copied in tho pnpors, and
that boforo they carno to Holdfast ho
had received a oall to a oity ohuroh
at a salary of fifteen hundred dol
lars.
That city call had given Angelica
dazzling vissions. Sho had owned
to herself, for ono breathless mo
ment, that sho would Uko to bo an
other kind of a girl altogether-a
girl who went to symphony concorts,
wore "picture" hats, and could buy a
bunch of violets or a box of choco
lates whenever she liked.
But dazzling vissions aro not for a
girl whoso cndloss problem is to
stretch a dollar ovor five dollar's
worth of needs.
Her father had boen too ill to min
ister to any parish for many months
before thoy carno to Holdfast, and a
small accumulation of money had
disappeared with astonishing celer
ity. Tho minister's modest lotter
had asked for an increase of only a
huudrcd dollars ; Angelica would
have made it two hundred if she
could have had her way. Tho Rev.
Adoniram Drew had singular limita
tions of judgment in praotioal affairs.
9 As Angolioa mad o the applo sauce
for supper, sho reckoned up how many
things could bo dono with the hun
dred dollars. And Second-Cousin
Sarah Ponsonby had writton that
sho was going to send them another
box. Sho had once boforo sont them
a box of clothes which her children
had outgrown or discarded. There
wore not only tho finest of jackets
and trousers for tho boys, but some
dainty clothes that had belonged to
Mrs. Ponsonby's daughter just An
gelica's agc, who was ono of those
happy symphony-ooncert-flower-nnd
candy girls. Thoro had even been
bits of loco and ribbon in that box
mont gratifying bits of lace and rib
bon.
.By tho timo that tho apple sauce
was made, Angolica felt so happy
and hopeful that sho {'oared sho had
punished little Adoniram too severe
ly for running away from achoo! to
go fishing, Sho had sont him to bed
for tho whole day on a diet of broad
and water. Still Adoniram was niuo
now-old enough to know hotter
and his truancy must bo stopped be
fore it carno to his father's ears and
worried him.
But she certainly had been wrong
to snub fiftcon-year-old Freeman for
tnaking a stupid joke whon ho said
that the church pooplo showed a
sense of tho fitness of things in
making Deacon Mudgett moderator
of tho meetings. Freeman was too
serious for bia years; ho ought to bo
encouraged in making jokes, evon if
they were poor ones. Deacon Mud
gett was modoratc ; perhaps tho
church had only been too slow to
think how littlo hor father was paid.
Tho quarter's salary would bo duo
in a few weeks ; Angolica felt almost
ns if sho had tho additional twenty
five dollars in her hand !
A knock at the front door. An
golioa pooped into tho little entry
way, and saw her father open tho
door to Deacon Mudgett. She stood
waiting by tho door, and the bub
hiing of tho applo sauce upon the
kitchen stovo and tho thumping of
her heart seemed to bo keeping time
with enoh other in a queer chorus.
How littlo a hundred dollars meant
to Deacon Mudgott-a rich man for
Holdfast, tho proprietor of tho pa
per milla down by tho river! Of
course so littlo could not be refused !
Ho was going. Sho hoard hor
father close tho door, and thou-sho
knew how it was ns soon ns sho saw
Iiis face-tho long, gentle, meditativo
faco with tho thoughtful frown be
tween tho brows.
"Wo must bo patient, dear littlo
daughter," ho said, gently. "The
ohuroh voted against us. lt was felt
that the increase could not bo afford
fjijojil
od with-with tho depression in cer
tain branche? of industry, and per
haps a hard winter in prospect."
"Isn't it in prospect fon us ?" bo
gan Angelica, and cheeked herself
suddenly. Sho readied up-ho was
a tall man-and laid her hand oar
resaingly upon his shoulder.
"It will all como right, daddy, doarl
I must loam to bo a hotter mnna
gor," she said. "But thoy'ro mean,
all tho sumo !" she added, sotto voce,
and dashed out of tho house. Tho
orchard glooms woro kindly covorts
when stormy tears must have their
way.
Sho did not pauso in her fight, al
though sho sav/ a woman coming in
nt tho baok gale-a woman who
looked somewhat li!;e a beggar or a
tramp, or porhaps ono of tho women
who worked in tho paper mills.
Thoro woro foroignoro there, Ger
mans and Swedes. If sho asked for
anything, lier father would empty
the larder, thought Angolion; but
that seemed a small mnttor just now.
Thoro woro scarcely a traoo of tho
tears on her olieoks when she return
ed to the house-somewhat hurriedly,
at last, for it occurred to hor sudden
ly to mako somo popovors for sup
por, and to opon a jar of tho damson
preserves that sho had made from
tho fruit of their own plum troo.
Thia was Frooman's disappointment,
as well ns hers, and at fiftoon thoro if
a little consolation in popovors and
plum preserves. Porhaps, too, thc
recreant little Adoniram should have
just a taste. Lifo should not bi
made too hard whoa ono is nine
As soon ns tho popovers wore ii
tho oven, sho went up to tho unfur
nished woodshed chambor whoro sin
kept her preserves. Alas ! a jar o
tho plums had boon oponed, and hal
its contents wore gone ! Juice hn<
been spilled upon tho iloor, and i
marked tho track of a small, bare
foot along the entryway to Adon
tram's room.
There was only stern severity fo
tho culprit in Angelica's heart as sh
opened tho door of his room. Ado
niram lay in bed, with closod oyof
evidently struggling for an appear
anco of repose upon his perturbo
and sticky countenance. Ho opene<
bia oyes and blushed vividly beneati
his sister's long, reproachful gaze.
"You-you needn't 'a' took in;
clothes away anyhow !" ho said, n
length. "I wasn't going to put thor
on."
"Your clothes?" Angelica's glane
wandered in surpris- *o thc chair up
on which Adoniram's small habili
mcnts had hung-thc now cmpt
chair.
"I-I just wont to look out th
back room window, because sonn
body kept knocking and knooking i
tho back door, and when I cam
bach my clothes were gone. I
stayed a little while."
Adoniram lind ono groat and gob
on virtuo ; ho was truthful.
Angelica went out of tho room i
silonco.
"Only four, and pretty small ones!
ho called after her, with plaints
penitence; but sho did not heed,
startling, painful suspicion had dri
en all other thoughts from hiv min
I lor father came out from li
study to meet her as sho doccndi
the stairs.
"I-I tried to find you. Tho;
waa a poor woman hore," ho sai
Sho work? in tho mill ; a Swede,
think. llor littlo boy, who ali
works in tho mill, has had a fovc
and they woro obliged to destroy h
clothing for fear of infect ion. I
has not been ablo to return to 1
work because sho was too poor
buy him moro. Sho has four ch i 1
ron younger than bc, and sho soom
to ho utterly destitute. I found
overy-day suit of Adoniram's in 1
room. I remembered tho promis*
box from Cousin Sarah Ponsonl
and it seemed quite providontia
Thc minister hesitated slightly, loc
ing with mcok inquiry into I
daughter's sovoro young face. "It
it soomcd a loading that tho boy Vt
just Adoniram's ago. I thought A
oniram might woar his Sunday s
for a few days, if tho ono ho haa
is not fit for sohool."
"O Papa Drew, that was his Si
day suit! I had to put his otl
ono into tho rng-L?^-aotually ii
tho rag-bag Inst week I" Angel
burst forth, almost with tears. "Il
in his night-gown now, in bed fo:
punishment-and-and I don't i
how ho's ovor going to got up !"
"But, my dear, tho box will sur
arrive soon," said tho minister,
i gleam of hopo appearing in
abashed faoo. It was such an abash
ed and humilating faeo that Augolioa
was suddenly seized with pangs of
honrt and oonoionoo.
"Of oourse thoro'll bo tho box.
And it was a beautiful thing to do,
daddy, dear," she said, firmly
"I foar I am sometimos a little
hasty," Baid tho miuistcr. "But
tins did not soom a mat-tor for hesi
tation, thoro was evidently suoh real
destitution."
"And it's providential, as you said,
about tho box," said Augolioa, as
sho Bot to work to put the supper
upon tho table.
Sho sont Froomnn up to Adoniram
with a wholo plateful of buttered
popovors. Plums may bo a groat
temptation when ono ia but nin.?,
and thoro wore, perhaps, days of
painful seclusion before little Adon
I irani 1
Whoo tho mattor was explained
to tho persdh most concerned, ho
took it philosophically, even gaily.
No clothes meant no school, and
Adoniram was pot a devotco of
loaming.
Tho minister had given away tho
underclothing that hung upon tho
chair, but fortunately Adonirnm's
wardrobe was not so laoking in that
respeot as in tho mattor of outor gar
ments. Ile revelled in tho back gar
don and orchard tho next day clad
in a dressing gown that had been
made for Froiman two years bofore,
when ho had tho mcnslcs.
The gown trailed behind Adon
iram and tripped him bofore, but ho
did not complain, not even when tho
bad boys guyed him through the
fpnee. But Augolioa felt it to bo a
timo for thanksgiving when, the
next night, Thadd?us Greeley, tho
stago driver, left the box from Cou
sin Sarah Ponsonby at tho door.
A largo box and an array of pretty
laco and ribbon-trimmed clothes
littlo girls' drossos ohicfiy, and some
heavy winter nothing, jackets and
trousers and an overcoat that, as thc
minister said hopefully, Freomar
might grow, too, in another year.
But thoro was not a garment that
could by any possibility bo mado tc
fit little Adoniram !
"I thought tho drot'BOB would bc
nico for your littlo girl,'1' wrote Cou
sin Sarah Ponsonby, "and 1 supposi
that both your boys must be large
onough by this timo to wear thes<
clothes thal my young collego fresh
man has just outgrown."
"Oho hes mixed those ohildret
up," said Angelica, playfully, bu
with tl)o ler.st littlo touch of bitter
ness. "I don't seo how wo can bu;
littlo Adoniram a now suit !"
I
"Not until tho next quarter's sal
ary is paid," said tho minister. "Bu
that will bo only three weoks," h
added, hopefully.
Angelica would mnnngo ; she al
ways had. Ho wont contented!
back to Iiis study, and finished hi
sermon on "Tho Value of a Loft
Ideal."
"Such beautiful dresses for a 1 i ttl
girl of ton or twelve !" said Angebot
wistfully.
Sho tried ono of them on littl
Adoniram, a bluo and white ginp
ham, that was a perfect fit. ile n
belled somowhat-tho inconvernier
drossing-gown was at least a maid
garment-but he was at length pc
suaded to wear it. Tho dressinf.

motion. And prolonged, logitirai
ti/.cd truancy' was Paradise cou
down.
But what Izaak Walton calls "tl
primal, hontat instinct of inankin
to go a-fishing," was strong in litt
Adonirnm's bosom. Ono day it ove
onme his virtuo and his vows. I
smuggled his rod and lino from tl
I wood-shed, and wriggled his sto
little gingham-clad body through
convenient aperture in tho fence b
hind tho lloworing ourrent bush,
was ono of thoso gray Septomb
mornings, when bass bite as naturi
ly as the sparks fly upward, and tl
joy of lifo and liberty soon almo
effaced Adonirnm's depressed co
oiousness of hoing half girl.
It was rnthor for prudential rc
sons than because ito was sham
faced that ho ohoso tho wooded si
of Dr. Piora's purni ns a iiahiii
ground, and pursuit of tho fish soi
drowhitn out into tho opon.
Nolly Piora and her brotbor J
came down to tho landing and ))
off in a boat ; Nelly rowod doo non
tho pond as a short out to school.
"What littlo girl is that?" nBk
Nolly Piora "Hullo, sissy. Doy
get any bites ?"
Adoniram drow his hat ovor
oyes and preserved a stern, mast
lino rotioonco.
J Joo was loto at Behool, y ot Nu
/'
paused upon her oars. Sho thought
sho know ? very ono in Holdfast, but
this was a baining stranger.
"Who is sho, Joe?" she repeated
curiously.
"I aint a her I i'm a him !" roared
Adoniram, ns tho strokes begau
again ; for thoro is an ignominy too
great to bo borne for any ronsons of
prudence. Just thon Adoniram had
a groat consoling bite. Ho stopped
out upon tho narrow board that
formed tho landing, th* ?botter to
draw in bis lyvo. Tho linc broko
suddenly, and over wont Adoniram
backward into tho water.
It was not deop wator, but Ado
niram was frightened, and screamed
lustily, and Nolly Piora carno rowing
hack as fast aa sho could.
Adoniram had scrambled out by
himself, crying .md choking. Nolly
and .Too both sei/.cd upon him, and
half carried bim up to Dr. Piora'a
houso, Nelly thumping him on tho
back all tho way. Doctor Piora was
standing in thc doorway with Dea
con Mudgott, who had stopped him
to talk about a wood-lot just na* be
was Betting out upon his daily round
of visits.
"Who is sho and what is tho mat
tor ?" asked thc doctor, gazing at thc
dripping figuro.
"I aint a sh-sh-sho !" soroamed lit
tlo Adoniram, mado rcoklcss by mis
fortune.
"It's tho minister's boy in a girl's
dross!" criod Nolly Piora. "Oh,
isn't ho too funny in flounces and
embroidery ?" and heartless Nolly
l>icra dropped upon tho poroh stops
and laughed.
Good Mrs. Piora carno out upon thc
porch and took tho boy to her moth
erly bosom.
"It's ?'living shame I How came
they to do it, sonny boy ?" she asked
"My clothes got given away to f
little boy that had got to work in thc
mill. Angolioa had just put mj
others in the rag-bag, after she linc
patched and patched thom. And
there wore only girls' clothos in th?
box \r had sent us," said Adoniram
explaining fully in grateful rocogni
tion of thc "sonny boy."
"It's easy for those foreigners a
tho mill to impose upon a man lile
thc minister. I guoss wo shall h av
to take up a contribution to got tb
boy a auit of clothes," said Deacoi
Mudgott, with an uneasy laugh.
"Wc shall not do anything tba
will humiliate tho minister," sni<
Doctor Piora, firmly. "It's nv
opinion that ho ought to have hi
salary raised."
"Ile ought to bo ahlo to afford
housekeeper, anyway," said Mn
Picra. "It's too bad for that Sovon
teen-yoar-old girl."
"It was because we never had pai
move that the church voted agahu
tho increase of salary that Mr. Dre1
asked for," said Doctor Piora. "Bu
tho others havo boon able to rais
something on tho land, and ho isn'i
Wo ought to bo thankful to havo
man of such learning and ominor
piety, and it wouldn't hurt you an
mo to make up a hundrod or two b<
tween us."
"I-I meant to get Homo olotlu
for that boy that had tho fover," sn;
Doacon Mudgott, with his bot
turned away and speaking grufti;
"But foreigners, that don't go i
mooting-you can't tell-and
don't say but what I should rath
havo a minister that had more con
mon sonso, i aint thinking so nun
about his learning as I am that
don't look well to have tho ministoi
boy going round tho town in ga
clothes. I'd rather givo him t\
hundred moro mysolf than to bo
laughing-stock for tho other me<
ing!"
VVhon Angelica rang tho dinnc
boll no little Adoniram appoare
j but Freeman, sont in senroh of hi
saw him emerge suddenly from 1
hind the flowering currant-bush.
Although Adoniram was broat
less, Freeman did not .connect 1
condition with tho aperture in t
fonco. From Froomnn's point
view, it, was quito incredible that
boy should faoo tho "world in gil
clothes.
Thc minister carno homo from
oxtra church-mooting ono day in t
noxt week, and sat down at the si
por-table with his faco alight. .
"Tho whole purposo of the mc
lng was to reconsider tho matter
increasing my salary," ho explain
"It was voted unanimously to r
me two hundred dollars moro.

and piety, and-I don't cjuite kn
why they woro so considerate, 1

And the minister handed a i

Angelica pursued a policy of over
looking things, partly from a doubt
of hor ability to copo with difficulties

ZANW8VIXI.K, Ohio., August 80.
Tho Demooratio State Convention
closed to-night after a day of D?mo
cratie plays. Wallie there wore a
half dozon othor candidatos for gov
ernor, tho McLean men have claimed
everything with such confidonoo that
thoy undertook to bo magnanimous
in minor parts, although they wore at
thc Hamo time oaroful that tho star
candidato was not eclipsed. Thoy
started oarly in tho day that thc
first ballot would have nono of "tho
second choico" voto for MoLoan, that
none of tho rosorvos would bo onlled
out till tho second ballot, and that
all tho candidatos would have thoir
respectivo votes on tho first ballot.
In this play MoLean was nominated
on tho first ballot by a half voto and
tho figuring was so oloao that tho
Democratic scono of changos on tho
second ballot with "second choico"
resorves Hooking to MoLean'a stan
dard did not tnko plaoo.
Following is an abstract of tho
platform :
Wo heartily ro-afikm tho entire

Tho Hon. Wm. J. Bryan still re

We aro radioally aiid^unalterably

that confront us at home, thon By*
example, wo can proolaim tho bless
ings that How from froo institutions
and thus proouro "bonovolont as
similation without criminal aggres
sion. "
We aro opposed to entangling
alliances with foroign kingdoms and
empires.
Wo commond the action of Con
gress iii dedaring that our war with
Spain was for humanity and not for
conquest.
Wo proudly recognize tho valor
and glorious aohiovemonts of our
gallant soldiers and sailors from Bun
kor Hill to this vory hour, ns being
among the most thrilling and glo
rious in history of the world, but we
profoundly regret that Amorican sol
diers aro hoing unlawfully used in
tho name of liborty, to crush and dc- j
stroy dawning rebublicanism in tho
tho Orient and wo donounco tho
seorot and V?C?OUB alliance now in
ovidoncc between England and
tho Republican administration
whereby this nation may bocomo in
volved in war with foroign nations.
We demand that tho Cubans and
i Philippines not only bo permitted
but encouraged to establish indopon
dent republics, doriving all of thoir
governmental powers from tho con
sent of tho governed.
Wo donounco tho Ropublionn party
for its 88 yonrs of abjoct subsor
I vienco to tho shipping intorest of
Great Britain and wo denounce tho
Ilanna-Payno shipping bill, whioh, if
onactcd into law, would further
shackle our interests.
We aro in favor maintaining our
splendid and efficiont navy.
A largo standing army in our re
public is a menanoe to liberty.
Wo favor tho initiative and ro

Broad is not to bo thought of as *
an article of diet. It is a treacher
ous compound, consisting largoly of
alum and potatoes, and, concocted
in some insanitary oollnr, it is teem
ing with microbes and totally unfit
for food.
No oaroful man will touch beef
owing to tho number of tuberculous
oarons808 which aro constantly hoing
placed upon tho markot. Mutton
and lamb aro also to bo tabooed on
similar grounds, and no ono would
think of touching pork for fear tho
lato lamented piggy might havo died
of swine fovor.
Tho vegetarian chortles in II?B joy
and points out that nono of these
things, except broad, affoots his stylo
of dining. But his triumph is short
lived. Koot vogotablos aro to bo
droadod because of wiro-worm, to
matoes induco nanoo* cabbago may
become poisonous by tho applioatiou
of improper fertilizers, and, thoro
fore, aro best loft alone, while, in ad
dition to tho disease microbo whioh
devotes its attention to tho potato,
there is always tho risk of damage
to the digestive organs.
Butter nnd milk aro poisoned with
horacio aoid and other noxious pre
servatives, to say nothing of tho arti
ficial coloring matter which is fre
quently added. Eggs aro dangerous
because so many of thom aro packed
in limo to keep them good, and re
cently, too, a French baoillus has
found his way in through the shell.
In addition to othor drawbacks,
chceso helps to ruin digestion.
Uaw fruit helps along cholera to a
groat oxtont. It also contains prus
sic acid round the skin, pips and

Fish, although possessing highly
nutritious qualities, should bo avoid
ed, owing to tho largo quantity which
is sold in an unfit stato for human
consumption, and tho difficulty of
obtaining it roally fresh.
With beverages the same difficul
ties present themsolvos to tho care
ful feodor. Beor,x winos or spirits
aro not to bo thought of. They
affect tho brain and oyes", and not in- ?
juriously upon tho coating of tho
stomach. Toa and coffoo may sot
up insanity, but at least thoy are
sure to induco dyspepsia. Water is
full of disease gorms, and, if dis

of its lack of minorai matter in solu

Poultry, if fresh, appears to bo the

thoro is only a vague, undecided sort
of iniorobo to its account. There
