IGHI at the end of tbe street stood the little white honae Jack Ward was pleased to call his own. Fiveyearshebad livei there, he and Dorothy. How happy they hnd been t But things seemed to have gone wrong some way, since—since the baby died in tbe spring. A eob came into Jack's throat, for the little face bad haunted him all day.
Never a sound had the baby lips uttered, and the loudest noises hod not disturbed his rest. It had seemed almost too much to bear, but tbey bad loved him more, if that were possible, because be was not as otber children were. Jock had never beeu recon- oiled, bnt Dorothy fonnd a world of consolation iu the closing paragraph of a magazine article on tbe subject.
"And yet we cannot believe these Children of Silence to be unhappy. Mrs. Browning says that 'closed eyes see more truly tbau ever open do,' aud may there not be another world of mnsio for those to whom our own is soundless? In a certain seoee tbey are utterly beyond the pain that life al¬ ways brings, for never can they hear the cruel words beside which physical harts sink into insignificance. Ho pity them not, bnt believe that Re knowotfa best, and that what seems wrong and bitter is often His truest kindness to His children."
Dorothy read it over and over until she knew it by heart. There was a certain oomfort in the thought that ho need not suffur—tbat be need never Hnd what a wealth of bitterness lies in that one little word—lite. And when the bard day cnmo she tried tu be thankful, for she knew tbat he was safer still; tried to nee the kindness that had tnkon him back into tbe Un known Silence of which he was the Child
Jack went up tbe steps tbis mild winter evening, whistling softly to himself, end opened tbe door with his latch key. "Where are you, girlie?" "Up atairs, dear; I'll be down in a miuute," aud oven as sho spoko Dor¬ othy came intu the room.
In spitu of hur black gown nnd thu bollowH under her eyes she was a very pretty wumcn. Sbo knew it, and .Tack did, tou. That ia, he had known, but bo had forgotten.
"Here's the evening paper." He tossed it iuto her lap as she sat down by tbe window.
"Thank you." Sho wondered vaguely why Jnok didn't kiss hur as he used to, aud thun dismissed the thought. Sho was growing aoous- tumed to that sort of thing.
"How nice of yon to coma by the early train I I didn't expect you till later."
"There wasn't muoh going on iu town, so I lolt tbc uflico curly. Any mail? Nu? Guuss I'll take Jip out forastrull." The fox terrier at his feet wagged bis tail appruvingly. "Want to go, Jip?"
•Tip answered decidedly in the affirm¬ ative. "All right, come on," and Dorotby watched tbe two go down tbe street witb an undefined feeling of pain.
She lit the prettily shaded lamp and tried to read the paper, but tbe politioal news, elopements, murdara, and auioidas laokad intereat Sba won¬ dered what bad oome betweeu her and Jack. Something bad ; there was uo (]nestion of that, but—woll, it wuul.l ouuio atraight Huiuu timo. Tor- haps oho was morbid nnd uujust. She couldn't ask him what was the matter without making him uugry, and she had tried so hard to make hiui happy. Jip announced his arrival at the front duur witb a series of sharp barks and au unmistakable soratch. She opened it as .Took sauntered slow¬ ly np tbe walk, and passed hcr with the remark, "Dinner ready? I'm as hungry as a bear."
Into the oosr diuing room they went, Jip first, then Jack, aud then Dorothy. The daintily served meal aatisfied iho inner man, and be did Bot notice Ihat she ate but little. She honestly tried to be entertaining, and thuugbt she succeeded fairly woll. After dinner he retired intu tbu depths ot the evening paper, and Dorothy stitched away at her embroidery.
Suddenly Jack looked at hia watch. "Well, it'a half past eoycu, ami I've got to go over to Mrs. Itruwu's to practice a .luet with hor tur tumor- row."
Dorothy trembled, bnt only said, "Ob, vea, the duet. What is it this time?"
" 'Calvary,' I guoo*. That scorns to take the multitn.le bettor thau iin)-- thing we sing. No, Jip, not this tiiuo. Oooilby—1 won t be gone luu;?  '
The .loor slamme.l, and Dorothy was alone.
Sbe Dut away ber omiiroidery an.1 walked the lluur restlessly. Mrs. Krowu was a pretty wi.low. always woll dressed, and sbo aang diviuely. Dorothy oould not sing a u.ito, th.>iH(U she played fairly w-ll. an.l .laoli Kut into a habit of takiug Mrs. Itr-.^vu new muaic and going over t.. siu^ it witli her. .Ku obliging ueiKhbi.r wbu ba.l called that afternoou ba.l remoitieJ ualioioiialy that Mr. Word au.l .Mr^.

Thank (lid, ble«.« G:.1,«ll ye who suffer not More grief than yo oan wei'p f..r—
then  some  way  the  tears   came;   a blessed rush of relief.
"Ob, bsby dear," she sobbed, press. ing her lips to the cold tiirt abore him, "I wish I was down there beside you, as still and as driiamless as you. Tfou don't know what it means—you never would bave (known. I'd rather be a stono than a woman with a henrt. Do you think it I could buy death that I wouldn't take it snd come down there benide yon? It hurt mo to lose yon, bnt it wasn't tho worst. You would have loved mo. (^h, my Child orSilencel Como buck, como back I" How long she stayed there she novor knew, bnt the heart paiu grew easier after a while.
Sba preased hcr lips to the turf again. "Qood nigbt, baby dear. Qood nijght. I'll come again. You haven't lost your,mother, even if sbe has lust you I"
Fred Bennett passed by the unfre qnented spot, returning from an er rand to that part ot town, and he heard the last words. He drew back into the shadow. Tbe slight black figure appeared on the eidcwalk n tow feet ahead ot him,, and puzzled him not a little. He followed cautiously and finally decided to overtake her. As sbe heard his stop behind her «he looked around timidly. "Mrs. Ward I "
Hio tone betrayed surprise, and he saw that her eyes were wet aud her white, drawn face wns tear stained. Sbe sbnddered. A new trouble faced her. How long had he been following her?
He saw her distress and told his lie bravely. "' jus' came aronnd tho cor¬ ner here."
Her relieved look was worth tho sac¬ rifice of his conscientious scruples, he said to himself afterward.
"I may walk homo with you, may I not?"
"Certainly."
Sbe took bis offered arm and tried to chat pleasantly witb her old friend. Soon tbey reached tbe gate. She dropped his arm and said good-night nnsteadily. Bennett conld bear it no longer, and ha took both her hands in his own.
"Mrs. Ward, yon nre in tronble. Tell me; perhaps I can help you."
She was sitent, "Dorothy, you will let me call you so, will you not? You know bow much I cared for you, in a boy's impulsive fashion, in the old days when we were at school; you know that I am your friend now—as true a frieud as n m»u cnu bo to n wo¬ man. Tell wa, Dorothy, and let ue help yoa!"
There was a rustle of silk on the pavement, and her caller of the after¬ noon swept by without speaking. Al¬ ready Dorothy know tbo story which would be pnt in circulation on tho morrow. Bennett's clasp tightened on her cold fingers. "Toll, me, Dorothy, and let me help yon !" he eaid again.
Tho impulse to tell him grow stronger, ond she coutrolle.l it with difficulty, "It is uothiug, Mr. Ben- uett, I—I have a headache."
"I see, and you came ont for n breath of fresh ai*. Pardon me. I am sure you will bo better in tho morn¬ ing. Good night, and Qod bless you —Dorothy."
Hu walked away rapidly, and sho lingered on tho puroh till she conld uo longer hear bis footstep.'^. She lett a lamp in the hnll and wunt up to bod. "Jack won't bo homo till late," sho said to hcrsolt, "aud ho will want the light."
So the tired bend dropped on its pil¬ low, and sho stared sleeplessly at tho ceiling.
Meanwhile Bennett ivas on his way to Mrs. Broirn's oottngu. His mind was made up, and he wonld speak to Jack. He had heard a great deal ot idle gosaip, and it would probably cost him Jack's friendship, but he would at least havo tbe satisfaction of knowing that bo bad tried to do something tor Dorothy.
He rang tbo bell, an 1 Mrs. Brown herself answered it. "Good evening, Mrs. Browu. No, thnnk you, I won't oome in. Jnst ask Jock it I may see bim on a matter of business."
Ward, hearing bis friend's voice, was already at the door. "I'll bo with you in a minuie, Fre.l," ho snid. "Uood night, Mrs. Brown; I am sure we shall get along famously witb the duet," and tho two meu went slowly dowu tbe street.
They weut on in silence till Jack said, "Woll, Beunott, whnt is it? You don't call a fellow ont like th.s unless it is something serious."
"It is serious. Jack ; it's Dor—Mrs. Ward."
"Dorotby? I confess I'm as much in the dark as ovor."
"It's this way, Jack. She's in trouble."
"Jock, you know I'm a friend ot yonrs; I have bocn over since I've known yon. II yuu don't tako what I'm going to say as I mean it, you're not tbe man I think yun are."
"Go on, Frod, I uudor»tand you. I was only thinking."
"Perhaps you don't know it, but tbe towu is agog with what it ia please.l to term your infatuation for Mrs. Browu." .Tark sniothereil a pro- lane exclamation, au.l Bennett con¬ tinued : "Dorothy is eating her heart ont over tbe baby, Sbe was in the cemetery to-night subbing over his iiravu, and talking to him like a mad wumau. 1 onniu up tbe back street, and after a littie 1 overtook ber and walkuii hume witb her. That's bow 1 happen to know. .\nd don't think tor a momeut that she hasu't beard the Rosaip.

"Denr little girl, your head aches, doesn't it?" He drew her up beside him and put his cool .fingers on tbe throbbing temples. Hcr heart bent iiuickly and happy tears filled hereyes OS Jack bent down and kissed her ten¬ derly. "My sweetheart I I'm so sor¬ ry tor the pain I"
It was tho old lover-liko tone, and Dorothy lookod up,
"¦Tack," she soid, "you do lovo mo, don't you?"
Hia arms tightened about hor. "My darling, I love rou better than any¬ thiug in the world. You are the dearest littlo woman I ever saw. It isn't much ot a henrt, door, but, you've got it all. Crying? Why, what is it, sweetheart?"
"The baby," sho answered brokenly, and hia oyes overflowed,  too.
"Dorothy dearest, yoo know that wos beat.    He wasn't like—"
Jack could not say the hard words, but Dorothy understood and drew his faco down to hers ogain.
Then she closed her eyes, and Jock held hor till sho alept. Tho dawn found hia orms still around her, and whou tho early church bells awoke her from 0 happy dream she found the reality sireet nnd beautiful, and the hoortacho a thing of tho past.— Muuaey's Maoazine

THE   "ELEcrmr  mnL" in  the obiest. Miss Annio May Abbott, the Georgia I girl who.ao prodigious teats ot strength created sucli a sensation iu thia ooun- : try o tow yeara ajjo, and gave her   tbo I name of "The Electric Magnet," isuoiy in China  otter having mode a tour uf Japan.      In tho   lattor  country   tho strongest of tho wrestlers were unnlile to litt  her little body from tho floor, or even push her over, while with the tips other fingers she ueutralizodtheir : must   vigorous  ell'urta   to raiso   otliur . objects,   whicb,   under  ordinary   cir- cuiubtanoes,   would    havo    beeu    tho merest   trifle.    When  sho placed Iht haud upou the arm of the ohampiou wrestler   he   wns   unablo   tu   litt   an i ordinary   canu   trom   u   tnble.      Thu . Japauuse  scientists,    however,   repu¬ diated the olectricol theory whieh Misa Abbott's monoger usually suggests to tho   newspapers,   ond   attributed   her remarkable   loat to   hypnutio powors, claiming that it  was tho foroe ot   hor will   instead  of  the  strongth ot  hor muscles that interfered with the aotiuu of thuse who ore engaged  in the ex¬ periments.     In China she is creating an  eveu  greater  sensation,  and   the native scholars oocuso her ol receiving aid from superhuman ogeueioa.    Such a fooling has beou excited among  tho literal that it is fearc.l it mav havo on uutortunoto effect in stimuloling onti- foreign and snti-missionary prejudices. Cliou   lion,   ou   edncote.l Chinaman, writes to a Shanghai )iaper asking :
"Do not such oxbibitiuus, as viewed by Chinese, fully corroborate what the natives hove alleged against mis¬ sionaries possessing uncanny powers, ond therefore confirm thom in thu be¬ lief of the obility of foreign men ond lyomon to stupofy ohildruu and bring them under tbeir influence tor goo.l or evil? Thu Chinese will certainly concluite that if foreigners practice this mystic power to make monuy they will do so fur the far hi .-her object uf gaining converts and saving souls. Natives who have wituense.l Miss Abbott's powers will novor tie per¬ suaded to believe that amung misaiuu- orios thero ore not both men aud wo¬ men who possess tho some jiuwer of rendering others subjeot to their mil.
