There doesn’t seem to be very much the matter with your child. He doesn’t ac- tually lose weight, but there is no gain. He belongs to that large class of children that don’t seem to prosper. You look at him a little more thoughtfully than you do at the rest and say “ He is not doing well.” Failure to gain in weight in a child isa danger signal. Emulsion should be taken at once. It. puts on fat where _health demands. it, strengthening the digestion.

THE FATE OF GUYSDARRELL

bY R. M. STRONG (Continued.)

CHAPTER IL

Really being rich was very delightful. Wherever one went to see others grind- ing away whether they liked it or not serve d but to put a keener edge to the pleasures of one who now need neither t i nor spin. This was indeed a holi- day, the first he had ever had worthy of the name.

Thus ran Guy Darrell’s meditations on the day, the ever to be remembered day, at Sydney on which he betook himself to the agent's office of the ship by which he had traveled.

He was in no hurry; had all the long, bright day before him; could revel in the glorious sunshine and the sweet, exhila- rating air, and—finding another man in possession of the inquiry window—could wait with a kind of pleased patience for his turn.

What was half an hour or so more or less to him? Time might be money; but, on the other hand, was not money time? He could afford to stand aside and look on, as he did now, at the poor fellow, who seemed so full of a half suppressed anxiety; could feel quite a pleasurable interest in—but what was that the clerk Was saying?

“I am really very sorry, Mr.”——

“Varley—Gabriel Varley,” answered the man weakly, and the words were followed by a cough, quite as weak.

Guy was watching the clerk and his visitor in an indifferent way, and though not trying to hear the conyersation be- tween them he started slightly as the man told his name. The latter’s voice was weak, and his words were pro- nounced in an undertone, but yet Darrell was sure that he distinctly heard the name given in response to the clerk’s im- plied inquiry. What was coming? What did the next few minutes hold of vital interest to Guy Darrell, who up to this moment had been so free from care, so full of a satisfied feeling with his con- dition and his prospects? The clerk was speaking again, and Darrell inclined his head to hear what further was to be said.

“Yes, yours does appear a very hard ease, Mr. Varley; but, then, if we took all the hard cases in—or allowed them to take us in—why, we should have no end of passengers, and that’s a fact.”

“But I could pay you my passage twice over at the other end,” urged the petitioner, but hopelessly, as having lost heart.

**So you have said, but it really won't do. It may be quite as you say, but we

, have been done so often. If you had any- | thing to show now by way of proof”’——

“I have shown you this letter calling me home.”

“But what does a letter prove, even if it were dated yesterday, instead of being ever so old? We don’t know how you came by it, or—but there, your illness looks genuine enough, and I don’t want to ke hard, though what you ask cannot possibly be done.”

Whereat the man turned despairingly away, and as Guy mechanically took his place the clerk grumbled on:

“Tt doas seem a cruelly hard case—but what can Ido? We've no end of such, all genuine and all with friends on the other side. If only his tale be true, once landed in London and he would be in clover, but how do we know?”

“What—did he—say—his name was?” asked Guy heavily, a strange foreboding of coming ill knocking with hideons in- sistence at his heart—the heart that of late had been so jubilant.

““Varley—Gabriel Varley. Not a com- mon name, is it? Nor is he a common fellow, one can see, spite of his rough clothes; but, bless you! we’ve all sorts over here. And the better the class the worse the individual nine times out of ten.”

“No, itis not a common name,” an- swered Gny, “‘What was his story?’ he asked, ignoring the rest.

“Oh, the usual thing, I believe. Left home under a cloud. Been up country and did well until he was sick, when his manager robbed him of his pile, and weak and low as he was he had to tramp down here, where he finds this tetter, five years old, waiting to tell him the cloud had burst and to come home.”

But Guy had groped his way blindly to the door, feeling suddenly sick and faint for want of air.

“IS ANYTHING THE MATTER?’ HE ASKED. No need to bolster up his sinking cour-

age with fallacious hopes. He knew as by a sudden intuition who the man was, aud how, spite of his long absence and reported death, the real owner of old Jacob Varley’s money had, as it were, risen from the dead to oust him from his new found wealth.

it was hard, cruelly hard. Never again covid he settle down to theold life. And it turned him cold and sick to realize how deep and strong a hold the moncy had upon him.

But how did he know, he demurred feebly, that this was indeed—and then he had not patience to follow out the thought.

How did he know—why, was not the ‘hideous conviction borne in upon him by a thousand fiends dinning their derisive message ‘n hisears? How didhe know—was it noé just the situation and the hour that a malignant fate would choose to play him euch a trick? How did he khushi he woke up. startled

oy &@ Geep and nolloW groan, to find nimi: self outside and facing the man whose return to life or falsely reported death was the cause of all his present misery.

Could it have been he, poor wretch, who had groaned, he wondered, as he stared at the hollow cheeked, needy look- ing man. Apparently not, for the stran- ger had been startled in his turn.

“Is anything the matter?” he asked

| sympathetically, ‘‘Are you illtoo? Can]

do anything for you?”

Guy shook his head, but made no at- tempt at reply.

So then it was he himself who had groaned, he concluded, after all, and he turned aside, casting about hopelessly #s to what he had better do and haunt- ed disagreeably and persistently by the man’s pallor and terribly forlorn air, to- gether with the darker suggestions that 80 inevitably followed.

‘Looks fearfully weak andlow. Not much of a life to stand between me and”— He broke off witha shudder te find where he was being carried; then quite as suddenly came the suggestion: Why not temporize? Why not gain time to think over the situation?

**You—you are anxious to get back to —to England, so they tell me?’ he began tentatively and formulating his plans as he went along.

“Yes, lL want sadly to go back.” But the speaker did not turn, so hopeless did he seem,

“Are you—tied as to—to time?”

“I have no money, so cannot waif, if that is what you mean, while for the same reason, it appears, I cannot go. 1

am not strong enough to work. I have been ill.” “Yes, you look it, even now,” assent-

ed Guy, compassion struggling with his more active selfish fears. ‘You have friends perhaps on the other side?”

“I think so, to judge by this.” And the man looked doubtfully at the letter he held in his hands.

“Who are they?” asked Guy,

The man handed him the letter and waited quietly while he read it.

It was from the father, Jacob Varley, telling of the mother’s death, the discov- ery of the truthand begging him to re- turn.

“The letter is five years old,” he re marked as he passed it back.

“Yes, it has lain here unclaimed and unanswered all that time. They may have thought me dead,” the wanderer added wistfully. “I should like to see them once before I’——

“Supposing that I undertook to find you the money? I shall be going back myself shortly, and in the meantime you can act as my secretary. Weshall travel about for a time, and you can write, can tell them”’— But he could not go on. The implied deception was too great.

All he wanted was time—time to face the situation and to make up his mind. That he was trifling with temptation he knew. It was mereiy putting off the evil day. That the surrender would grow no easier he recognized gloomily enough even while he spoke. But what of that? It was too hard already and did but grow the herder with each step he took down the fatal way, and even yet more impossible as time went on and the sup- posed dying man got better.

Suddenly there appeared what prom- ised to his distorted sense of right and wrong a possible solution of the problem.

With Varley’s return to health there cae a return of his original roving pro

pensities. After so many years where was the hurry? He debated. Why go home—a beggar? Why not have one more dip into the lucky bag to try to retrieve his fallen fortunes? The secret of which change lying in that he had met some men he knew, adventurers, bent on some new expedition. Osten- sibly their aim was scientific, but really their quest was gold, and having need of another tried and trusty man they were anxious he should join the party. |

He had been over a greater part of the ground the expedition would cover, had prospected for gold, and though he had failed to find it hfs experience and know]- edge of the country would be invaluable to the party, and therefore he was urged to go and was offered special induce- ments in the nature of an extra share should the undertaking prove successful.

There would be acertain amount of risk, he allowed, in discussing it with Guy, but he did not mind that. What he did mind was having to go back after all these years as a prodigal son and submit ‘‘to be provided for.”

“But how if you never come back at all?” and Guy’s face whitened wits the terrible subtlety of the temptatior and the suddenness with which, spite cf his long debate, his decision must be made.

The expedition would be full of peril, look at it how he might. Malaria, fever, poisoned arrows, snakes and almost ev- ery sanitary and climatic condition would be against them. Of those who would set out terribly few would return. How then could he let him go—go in ig- norance that the necessity no longer ex- isted for jeopardizing his life for the gold, of which, by rights, he should have plenty and to spare.

Oh, it was horrible! It was so easy to stand aside, to do—nothing. He had merely not to interfere, and the chances were that this menace to his new found happiness would remove itself never to trouble him again. And yet—oh, it was indeed horrible! He had played with temptation, had let himself drift, until now his will was paralyzed, and he could not—it was impossible to decide.

Easy to see the right, but how fatally impossible to act! To let the man go was little short of murder, while, to tell the truth, in his present mood, the oppo- site course would be suicide downright, for he could not take up the old life where he had laid it down—could not, in cans. give up possession of the other's

‘00as,

5 And full of self pity Guy Darrell saw and owned the truth—he had no shadow of right whatever. Almost he could. be- lieve in a mocking devil seeking thus subtly to destroy him. Twelve months before and he would have laughed at the idea of such a situation warping him aside from the plain path of duty. Now he turned and twisted and wavered, while his companion filled in the details of the proposed exploration. Once, but weakly, he urged him to reconsider.

“Why not rest contented here? You have had one narrow squeak for life, Surely you need not” ——

“But you forget the inducement, the splendid stake for which we play. A man must be a fool not to risk all on that. I shall come back either a man or’——

“Always su ipgosing you do come back,” objected Guy, Sorced thus far by his un- easy conscience.

Then out of the dreadful supposition he drew an inspiration, whether from his good or bad angel he staid not to in- quire. That he was driven to such straits wasno fault of his. He had fallen inno- cently into the pit. So far they were on equal terms. The stake they played for was indeed large—larger than the other knew. Then why not leave the issue te its initiator—fate? not out ee Why play

SOME COMMON TOOLS.

Rakes, hoes and other agricultural im- plements are represented in the Egyptian catacombs.

Until comparatively recent times the only harrow was a large pile of brush or tree branches, dragged across the field by a team of oxen,

Corks for bottles were first manufac- turedin Spain and Italy, some time during the fourteenth century. Corkscrews were contemporatieous with corks.

Knives of flint and other stone breaking with a sharp fracture were kuown in early times. When the Spaniards invaded Mexico the natives had kuives of volcanic glass.

Spades and shovels, together with scoops, are found depicted on the walls of Egyptian catacombs and all three are frequently mentional by Roman and Greek agricultural writers.

Watches were first called Nuremburg eggs; some of them were 5 or 6 inches in diameter, as large as the small-sized cheap clocks now exhibited in store windows. They were first made in 1447.

The blacksmith’s bellows is attributed to Anachorsis, the Scythian, who is said also to have been the inventor of the potter’s wheel, of ship anchors and other pieces of mechanism and the discoverer of the valuable properties of tinder.

The invention of the purse was doubt- less contemporaneons with that of money, The purse is mentioned in Old Testament history as a part of a traveler's outfit. When the disciples, spoken of in the Gospels, were sent forth to preach, they were commanded to take neither gold nor silver nor brass in their purses.

Some form of buckle was in use in the Roman army before the Christian era. These buckles were provided with tongues which passed through holes in the belt. In the reign of Charles Il. of England buckles instead of shoestrings became fashionable and were made of great size, some covering the whole instep.

Forks are commonly supposed to have been introduced into Europe not earlier than the twelfth or thirteenth century. It is estimated by some writers that the three-pronged hook mentioned as among the utensils of the Tabernacle was a kind of fork. Forks were unknown in Eng- land until the beginning of the seven- teenth century.

The earliest spoons were made of horn. Specimens of ivory and bone have been found in the abodes of the cave-dwellers and lake-dwellers all over Europe. Spoons of gold and silver are mentioned as hav- ing been used at Nero’s table. In Saxon times every guest brought his own knife and spoon, the host providing a towel or cloth for wiping each at the close of the repast.

Pins, of ivory and bone, were known among the Chinese and natives of India, and such have been discovered in the ruins of Babylon. The pins mentioned in the book of Exodus were hot used to secure apparel, but were tent pins, ta which were fastened the ropes of the Tabernacle. Pins of bronge have been found in Pompeii, Egypt and Assyria. Brass pins were introduced into England in 1540. The first practical machinery for the manufacture of pins was put in operation in England in 1824.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.

Eggs will cook much more evenly if the frying pan is covered.

If you find your icing is apt ta run, spriukle the cake lightly with four,

Salt fish are most quickly and best freshened by soaking in sour milk.

A lump of gum camphor placed in your clothes press will keep steel ornaments from tarnishing.

A little borax in baby’s bath will pre- vent the skin from chaffing, and he is less liable tu have a rash.

Use clear, black coffee, diluted with water and containing a little ammonia, This will cleanse and restore black clothes.

If your hall is narrow place a mirror opposite the parlor door. This helps out by reflection the very narrow space usu- ally given ta this part of the house.

A scorch mark, if not too heavy, may be removeé by moistening with water and laying in the sun. Repeat the moistening twoor three times and the mark will ad appear.

In escaping from a fire creep or craw! along the floor of the room, with your face as near the floor as possible. As smoke ascends there is always a fresh current of air in which you can breathe with greater ease near the floor.

SO SAYS THE WISE MOTHER,

That very few are just ta children,

That itis usually easier to be generous than just.

That children need fudicious praise, but not extravagant flattery.

That many children become discouraged because their best efforts meet with no approval.

That nothing causes a child to cease his efforts to please sooner than to find that everything he does is taken as a matter of course,

That each child’s disposition as well as his constitution should be studied, consci- eutiously and carefully.

That achild has a right to some con- sideration of his tastes in the matter of dress and food, as well as his amuse- ments.

That we are too often arbitrary with the little ones; too often our whims are the only excuses we can offer for tramp- ling on their rights; and that they are so observing that they read our motives much more clearly than we are aware,

TO THINK ABOUT,

We often pray for faith to remove mountains, when what we need is light to see that they should remain right where they are.

Most of us would help the Lord more it we would smile more.

Looking a difficulty square in the face will often kill it dead.

No prayer meeting was ever killed by the prayers being too short,

The world has learned more from its poor than it has from its kings.

Go forth with a smile on your face and you will return believing that most peo- ple are good natured, Wear a frown and you will find plenty of quarrelsome people,

The man who robs another of his right loses most by the transaction.

Beware of the sin whose only defense is that it is highly respectable.

When love gives it enriches itself, but what covetousuess keeps it takes from itself,
