he never chose a man who played false to him and the business was so well mang dead night she would spring up suddenly out of her light restless sleep with a sense of some awful terror hanging over her and wring lier hands and theu the dreadful truth would come back on her shrinking heart there was none to help the girl out of this darkness wliich bore down so heavily on the spring-time of her years her mother always went down in perplexity tcarsand hysterics at such times and the children were too young to com prehend the strait and her father dream ed over his invention which followed the way of all its predecessors there was the rent too staring ruth day by day in the face the most terrible fact of all those she had to confront because it was the heaviest debt at last the girl grew desperate noth ing less than being this could have driven her to the determination of seeing the landlord telling him the facts and be seeching him to wait for the money three times already without mrs rich mond's knowledge the agent had called for payment : and there seemed nothing left for ruth to do but this thing the very thought of wliich was bitter almost as death to the proud shy sensitive girl she revealed her project to none of the family ; she put it away from her all day so that she could go steadily through her round of school duties and when the night came she had put ou her hat and walked the long two miles and still not daring to pause a moment lest her heart should fail her she had walked straight to the door and asked audience of the rich man do you wonder that the reaction came at last ? ruth aldrich will never forget that walk nor how the river shone aud spark led on her way nor how once or twice she stopped and wondered vaguely whether it would not be easier to lie down under hat cool smooth curtain of waters than do the thing she had set her heart to do mr richmond with that singular com bination of strength and gentleness which give him his power over others succeeded at last in soothing the girl ; then he step ped out ofthe room and calling his wife aside told her what the late summons meant the lady's heart was stirred with a great pity she left her guests and went to the sobbing girl ruth had grown a little quieter by this time and mrs richmond was gracious and sweet and tender as an angel would have been the girl thought i felt assured my child you would do me some good the first time i looked on vour face smoothering the little hot trembling hand mrs richmond had taken in her own ruth's great perplexed eyes the tears still across them looked at her in blank amasement then mrs richmond told her of the morning drive aud sweet face which shone on her from the cottage window and the magic it had wrought in her thoughts aud feelings ruth listened in awe wonder delight smiles came out on the hushed lips aud hot cheeks and a great pleasure shone all over the sweet face so you see my child that you are not the only debtor said mrs richmond if i had known i should have come to you before and so ruth was won into telling her own story ; all the privation and pain the dark days the darker nights the strug gle and the terror of the wolf with the tierce eyes and lean face watching always at the door mrs richmond had been born and nur tured iu every comfort and for years her life had been swathed in luxury she re garded poverty as a terrible thing but always associated it with ignorance and vice ; anything like this struggle with pride and misfortune by refined and deli cate people she had never conceived pos sible her own grace and grandeur seem ed to reproach her she cried with ruth as she listened to her story aud pressed the soft warm hand closer in her own i have no time to tell you all the kind aud pleasant things she said made doub ly so by lier manner ; aud wheu at last she could leave her guests no longer and the stars had come out and filled the blue furrows ofthe sky with tlieir golden sheens mrs richmond ordered her carriage and sent ruth home and she kissed the girl at parting and said to her — go home now my child and sleep soundly to-night never think of the rent again only that you have friends who will not forget you ruth wondered as she rode home that night if there was under all those stars another heart so happy as hers ; and then what a story it was to take into the h ic ly saddened household — to put new life and comfort iuto it ! there was to be no more fear of rent day ! ah my dear said mrs richmond with a little swift start of surprise and pleasure it is just the most delightful idea in the world it was one day right after dinner and the two for a wonder were quite alone to gether mr richmond bad just been placing before his wife a plan which had suddenly entered his mind that morning setling the aldrich family in the old home stead the end take off your uudi hirt saturated with perspiration and vipe down your chin what is a regisierttyfjctter.-^the ques tion is very tkt&t aslred : isttw-d ference between a registered letter and any other th*e dirjere_ee4s mt'a*_gis tered letter does not go in ffi mai prtrper it passes from lfand to h__d ou&i-e-tbe mail pouches every person through whose hands it passes being ttjtijrlred to tfgn * receipt fer it o passittg ft vet-to t_e n in transit the person holirrhg the last receipt is tfius always afbfe her sltow w*o is accountable for the loss theresp-sffcf bility rests upon the man who has signe a receipt for the registered package and who is not able to produce the package ot a receipt from somebody else for it the safest way to send money is by money order where it does not go to a money order office it should always be sent in a registered package money ought not to be sent in au ordinary letter under any circumstances there is no possible way of tracking such a letter a very pretty story is told iu the pitts burg commercial a young lady from the south was wooed and won by a young california plysician about the time the wedding was to come off the young man lost his entire fortune he wrote the la dy a letter releasing her from her en gagement and what does the dear good girl do why she takes a lump of pure gold which her lover had sent her in his prosperity as a keepsake and having it manufactured iuto a ring forwards it to him with the following inscription engrav ed in distinct characters on the outside : entreat me not to leeave thee or to re turn from following after thee for whith er thou goest will i go and whither thou lodgest will hodge thy people will be my people and thy god my god where thou diest will i die and there will i be buried ;
