Two little children were playing on the rug before tho lire; a canary was singing loudly, and its shrill voice blended with Tessa's cry of surprise as she started to r. her feet and looked at the The color surged into her face, her lips trembled. She made one step forward; then, with a little proud gesture, drew herself up to her full hight, and stood looking at Aus'en with grave questioning eyes. Hurriedly he crossed the floor to her side, and took the unwilling little hands in his tight clasp. Tessa, will you forgive me? I know what a fool I have been! ho in a low pained voice. Tessa drew her hands gently away. Yes I forgave long ago, she answered coldly. And you will make your forgiveness complete? You will come back to mo again let everything ho as it was before? Austen pleaded. Tessa shook her head, and the eyes which looked up into Austens face were full of a great sadness. I think that could scarcely be, iftie answered, speaking very slowly Ono cannot so easily and quietly. take up the broken threads of one's life and weave them into a perfect whole again. I was a child then, and I had a child's perfect trust in your love and justice; but I am a woman now, and I know. Austons heart sank low. This cold calmness was so different from Tessa's old impetuosity; but still he persevered. I was mad, Tessa! he said humI loved you so dearly, and I bly. was mad with love and jealousy! Can't you forgive mo, sweet? Or are you indeed changed so completely? Tho old Te.-s-a would never have been so unforgiving and hard! Cant you forgive? Tessa gave a quick passionate sob.

And I am happy here; they love mo, and I am of use to them in many ways; and hero no ono thinks it is wicked to laugh ajid bo gay to dance and sing; there are no chilling looks, cold words! Oh, I think I had better stay! There are tho children too I could not bear to part from them now. I will not part you from them, Tessa. Antony's place in tho bank is open to him I have just told him so, Austen answered earnestly. Have you seen him? Tessa looked You aro reconciled up quickly. then? she went on. Yes, we have just parted; he sent me here. I am so glad! And, Austen Tessa hesitated and colored you will try to like Milly, will you not? r.ho is not ery refined perhaps: but she is very kind, and she has been, oh, so good to me! I will like her for that reason alone, Austen declared. And, Teshe put his hands upon the girls sa shoulders and looked down searching-l- y into her troubled eyes Antony Will you bo and 1 are friends again.

Do you really mean to say that you dont know where she is? he asked. No. Austen shook his head. Cleveland hesitated a moment. You don't deserve it. but I think I may possibly help you to find out, lie said after a short silence. Are you aware that a few days before your mothers death your brother Antony was at the Ilall?" Antony! Impossible!" and Antony looked up with a startled exclamation. Quito possiblo? answered Noel I ought to know with a short laugh. for I was the means of bringing him there.

Our word dollar dates back to 1785, when a resolution was passed by congress which provided that it should be the unit of moneys in the United States. Another resolution was passed in 1785, August 5, providing that it should weigh 375. C4 grains of pure silver. The mint was established in 1791, and then required to coin silver dollars containing 371.35 grains pure silver. This was due to the efforts of Alexande Hamilton. No dollars were coined until 1791, and then irregular. They aro now worth $100 each. In 1794 tho coinage of regular dollars began. Our coin was an adaptation of the Spanish milled dollar, a coin very popular wherever tho Spaniards traveled. The coin was called piastre, meaning a flat piece of metal; it i3 synonymous with plaster. It is supposed that tho Spaniards took the German thaler and called it by pia-te- r. Tho word the name of dollar is entered in Baileys English dictionary in 1745, and was used repeatedly by Shakespeare at the beginning of tho seventeenth century, esTill pecially in Macbeth ii: 2. 62: she disbursed $10,000 to our general use. (See also tho Tempest, ii: 1, 17.) The question where Shakspero found the word dollar is answered by the Hanseatic fact that tho towns a great establisment maintained called tho Stool Yard in London. The Steel Yard merchants were mostly North Germans, who would call the German thaler dah-le- r. was as it spelled The same merchants originated the word sterling, an abbreviation of the As the Hanseatic trade esterling. was particularly brisk on the Baltic and in Russia the standard coins of tho Hanse merchants were called esterlings, and sterling came to mean something genuine and desirable. The word dollar is the English for thaler, the first of which was coined about 1485, and corresponds quite closely to our present American silver dollars. The word thaler means coming from a dale or valley, tho first dollar having been coined in a Bohemian valley called Jnaehimsthal. It was under Charles V., emperor of Germany, king of Spain and lord of Spanish America, that the German thaler became the coin of the world. The Financier. AX UGLY CrSTOMEIu j Ive stood this kind of business 'bout ns long as I shall, said Fred Harper coming in from the pasture where the sheep and Iambs were kept. What troubles you now, Fred? asked his fattier, anxiously, Theres another sheep gone out of the Hock since I looked them up the first of the week, replied Fred as lie scrubbed his face vigorously at the sink. exclaimed Another one Mrs. Harper. Something must be catching them. Perhaps a bear from Potters mountain lias come across Sucker brook to our ridge. We vo lost, three sheep and a lamb and Mr. Elkins has lost his calf within six weeks, said Fred If a bear caught them excitedly. I think tis strange I cant find a trace of the place where lies taken them. Not a bib of woo) or any tiling to show where they were caught and eaten can be found in that pasture. It does seem strange, assented his father, as he raised himself on his elbow nnd looked out of the window. Youll have to do the best you can, Fred; 1 can not be much help to you yet. Mr. Harper was just recovering from a severe illness and was still too feeble to worry much about the farm work. About the disappoarance of the sheep Fred had his own opinion which he was determined to verify that very night, if possible. lie said nothing to his father, or indeed to any one, of his intention, but he was resolved to watch in the midst of that flock of sheep every night until lie had satisfied himself the sheep were taken in the Then it would be time to make further investigations. That evening, as the plucky boy of fifteen was leaving the shed with an axe on his shoulder and an obi robe to spread on the ground under him, he encountered his sister Nellie, a year younger than himself. What are you doing Fred? asked day-tim- shp. Im going to camp up on the ridge by that big, lone maple, where the sheep come at night, replied Fred, ns he put down the axe nnd began to roll up his robe so as to carry it easily. Wlmt makes you do that? asked I dont beshe, in astonishment. lieve mother would want you to. I am in hopes to find out whos stealing our sheep and lambs, said Fred. I mistrust Ilank Garcelon, and if I catch him at it Ill spoil his appetite for mutton for one while. Gh, Fred! May be tis a bear Fm so lraid somethingll Cant I go, too? entreatingly. Go. too! I should smile! Why, youd be seared to death before morning, returned he. No 1 wouldn't either; and youll be dreadful lonesome up there of! alone, Fred. Cant I please go? after coaxed she. No, indeed, Nellie, I couldn't let The house you; said he decidedly. is not more than forty rods off and all in sight and hearing, and I can comedown if I get very sick of it. Dont tell mother, she'd worry so; but you see wo must save the sheep to pay the doctors bill. He again shouldered his axe and marched off down the road to the pasture bars and up the steep ledge to the maple, where he ensconced himself under the tree and in the shadow of a huge pile of cord wood, hauled there and yarded the winter before from higher up on the ridrre, when a new clearing was beling matle. It was a bright moonlight night and he could see his home almost as plainly as in the day-timNellie went lip to hoi room and raised the window, so as to keep Fred company, she said to herself, and it seemed nearer to have the window wide open. She had determined to keep watch with him even if she were not permitted to join him. The sheep came back and settled down near the dark shadow of the wood pile where Fred had disappeared, ns if a human companion were agreeable to them, and all w as quiet once more. An hour passed and Nellie found herself nodding and rightly guessed that Fred, tired with his hard days work, must be fast asleep. It was now half past ten oclock and she felt a strong inclination to retire, but resisted because of the feeling that it would be leaving Fred alone They Lost a Fortune. There are two little girls in Toccoa, Ga., who are related, on their father's sido,toex-Gov- . Fenton of New York; Grover Cleveland, Gov.

Ten years were, by the terms of tho will, to be nddod to the 200, during which time the heirs wero to be hunted up and. if they were found, the vast sum, plate and jewels, wero to be equally divided between them.
