THY WILL BE DONE.

"Thy will be done," a child's voice sald, As bending low at mother's knee She llsped the prayer of Infancy. Those words so soft and sweet to hear. All meaningless fell on her ear: Her own strong will yet sleeping lay. Like serpent 'neath the flowers of May. "Thy will be done," a malden prayed, With gentle love her heart was stirred, And yet she faltered on that word. The world's path shone with dazzling light; The path of duty seemed less bright; Conflicting doubts her falth o'ercast, Obl could she trust Him to the last?

""Thy will be done," a woman prayed. She stood beside a lowly grave, And saw the long grass o'er It wave. With radlant face and steadfast eyes She looked beyond the distant skles; With faith triumphant, vlet'ry won, Her heart cried out: "Thy will be done."" -Anna Nell Gilmore, In United Presbyte- rian.

THE LAST ACT

F IFILLE BEAUTENCOURT danced nn the table before 50 of her dearest friends, and they drank to her with great acclaim.

"But you haven't let us in the secret yet, Fifille," said they. "What does this farewell mean? Is there to he a succession of them? Or are you, hy a possibility, about to be married? You, who have been so obdurate? You whn have refused fiva millions in your time, speaking by tha aggregate? Come, Fifille, it is impossible for a woman to retire when she is making more money with her feet than the eleverest maka with their heads! Maybe you have de- veloped a conscience-eh? Is it that you are about to enter a convent? Are you going to be penitential-in black tights? Tut! Fifille, it is childish of you to he saying farewell without giv- ing any reason for it!" So went the composite speech nf many companions. Fifille smiled gravely. Then she took her tiny lace bandkerchief, and mois- tening a bit of it, rubbed at the rouge on her cheek. Sha held up the incar- nadined muslin to the contemplation of her guests.

"I shall never put any paint on my face again as long aa I live," said she. "But the reason for it you would hard- ly understand. It is not remorse, for I have nothing of which to repent, save venal sins, of course. And those I have confessed. It is not love, for I let that go by a long time ago. It is not age, 1

ror, as you see, youth has not yet for- saken me."

The diaphanous snowy petticoats fluttered like a bumming bird's wing, and about the svelte body drifted a scarf light and wayward as a morning cloud. "I, wbo am not suspected of philos- ophy, leave the life I know for philo- sopbic reasons. I wish to observe for myself how real people live-not mimic people like ourselves. None of you has ever discovered it, but as a matter of fact I am not stupid. I do not propose to remain here till yon pity me. I am not going to hear any of you saying: "Poor old Fifille!' when I get too stiff in the joints for this."

She poised like a butterfly on a flower, and it seemed as if she were about tn disappear through the heflowered ceil- ing of the room.

"Brava! Brava! Exquisite! Encore!" But the famous dancer bowed some- what sadly, and, excusing herself, she quitted the room for a short time. When she reentered sha was clad in a severe brown traveling suit. A plain toque covered her straight brown hair-her own hair. There was neither red nor white upon her face which nature had not placed there. In her hand was a little traveling hag.

"Adieu, adieu!" she cried. She ran from one to the other, shaking them She by the hand and kissing them. wept, too, and gave little reminders of old times now to this one and nnw to that. Before they could reallze it she was gone. They never any of them saw her sgain. They never solved the mys- tery of her disappearance. It was a nine years' wonder. It was a thing to talk about at matutinal suppers-those weary, nnisy meala that ended with the dawn. But nnt of the many guesses hazarded no one guessed the truth- and it never occurred to anyone to be- lieve what the danseuse bad told them. Up in Maine there is a certain coast town that looks down from bluffs upon the sea and across sloping meadows to a wide and wayward river. The fields are old and have been worked too long. The wharves are rich in old tales, but the vessels that tie up at them now are comparatively few. Everybody knows everybody else, and the people have so married and intermarried that when a family party is given it is difficult to avoid inviting the whole village.

Into this community there came one day a woman whom nobody knew. In spite of the modesty of her bearing and the quietness of her attire she had ob- viously the manner of cities about her. She bought a cottage for herself and furnished it with simplicity. The ladies who called could find no fault with the few pieces of china nor with the mod- eration of the decorations. Everything was in good taste. Everything be tokened a comfortable condition of the purse. Nothing spoke of opulence or extravagance. At first the callers talked of themselves-the town, the social life, the old traditions, the historic spots. They were frank and confidential. Then they exacted a return. They en- deavored to probe the mystery of this woman's life and to find why she had come among them. They were pre- pared for aoma concealment. It had been agreed on all hands that the wom- an was a mystery and was likely to re- main such. But they met with a sur- prise. There was no concealment. The premiere danseuse told them her story from beginning to end and made them sympathize with it, too.

There was, indeed, a covert envy in the attitude of some of these women toward her. The easy mangers, the charming address, the inimitable grace of movement-they had never seen the Ifke, and they coveted the lady these posaessiona. It would not he true to say that they felt perfect confidance in her. They felt a deep interest in her; she fascinated everyone she met; that had been her cuatom from time immemorial. Ji had. in fact, been ber

profession. But the good ladies waited with some apprehension for the time wben the dancer would give them a dis. agreeable surprise, She was sure, they felt, to outrage the conventions some time. They were not prepared to say that they would blame her; it was a thing to be expected.

But the months went by quietly. Fi- Alle Beautencourt went her way with- nut untoward demonstration of any sort. Sunday morning, garmented in black, she knelt nt early mass at the church upon the hill-the church with the holy cross upon its steeple. She invited the neighbors to dine with her on that day and walked abroad in the afternoon with little children, or read by her pine fire, or beneath the shade of her veranda. Week days she arose early, directed her small domestic af. fairs and then busied herself with the unpretentious charities she had started. One was a small day nursery for the children of the women who worked in the fish packing houses. Another was a home for the widows of sailors. An- other was a circulating public library- an enterprise of which the community thought so well that it presently gave her its assistance. She had calls to make, too. She sonn accumulated a number of frienda and sbe interested herself closely in their doings. She had a genius for remembering birth- days, and lost no opportunity of mak- ing a festa. Particularly when the boys and girls were home from school at the holidays did she make merry. The town had never had so many gay- eties-had never enjoyed itself so much. In fact, much talent was discovered among those who had hitherto been looked upon as commonplace. It ap-

peared to he Fifille Beautencourt's es- pecial talent tn develop others. She dis- covered them to themselves.

She sent one hoy away to Rome to atudy picture making, and it was her pleasure to instruct a number of aa- piring young girls in French and to give them talks about Paris-historical Paris, not the Paris the coryphee knew in the days of her artistic novitiate.

One day she died. Then the town realized that it had lost its most liberal- minded and picturesque personage. Nn one else in that self-satisfied communi- ty stood ready to do the generous thing regardless of consequences. No one else took the sentimental view of things- rejoiced openly with young lovers, made merry at weddings, delighted in christenings and had dances at the com- ing to age of the young men.

The spirit of joy seemed to have de.

parted. All her tenderness and tol- erance were remembered, all her sim- ple, affectionate, almost humble waya. And with her death rumors of her for- mer greatness began to reach the little town. Then it was realized what a ce- lebrity bad heen entertained unknow- ingly all those quiet years.

So in gratitude for the joy she had given them and for the good will she bad shown all her life among them they gave her a public funeral. The sons and daughters of Puritana went, and the French people who had moved down from the north, and the old peo- ple, forgetting ancient prejudices. They buried her on a high hill overlook- ing the sea. It was bleak there, and there was only a plain white cross to mark her resting place. Nothing could have been more out of keeping with the Fifille Beautencourt of the old daya, she whn had been compacted of emo- tion and laughter, of color and music and joy. But the people who laid her there loved her well, and the story they told of her life among them waa the prettiest of all the stories that were told of the old port .- Chicago Tribune.

NO MAKESHIFT.

In This Case the Work was Properly Done.

Any reader who has had backache and found relief by ruhhing the back with liniments and lotions, understands that the relief ohtained was but a makeshift, for the ache returns. There's a way to do it so the ache will not come back. Read how it's done.

Mr. Fred A. Wood, of 103 Thurbers avenue, Providence, R. I., messenger for the Earle and Prewe Express Co., says : "In the winter of 1897 I became so en- thusiastic an admirer of Doan's Kidney Pills, after they cured me of kidney trouble, I wrote to the agents unsolicited, telling them about my cure and atating that if my recommendation would help the preparation along I would he only too pleased to furnish it. It has appeared in our Providence newapapera since, and now in the month of May, 1899, I em- phatically atate there is not one word I wish to retract. On the other hand, I am oniy too pleased to re-endorse a prep- aration which acts so faithfully to the representations made for it as Doqu'a Kidney Pills,"

TATTOOING IN OLD TIMES.

1( W'na a Common Custom Among (he Indians of Early Days of LonIalana.

Tattoning was a universal custom among the Indians of old Louisiana with both sexes. Among the men it possessed a significance attaching to their career as warriors, and their tat- too inarks were testimonials of dis- tinction; with the women it seems to have heen merely a matter of adorn- ment. From their girlhood the wom- en caused themselves to be tattoed on the face. Sometimes it was a line of tattooing across the top of the nose, sometimes the line was up and down the chin, and ont unfrequently the en- tire upper part of the body was thus marked.

The young men of the nation also subjected themselves to the tattooing process by being tattooed first on the nose, like the women, and not until they had given evidence of their cour- age were they privileged to receive tat- too marks on any other part of the hody. This testimony of their merit as warriors waa reserved for them when they had distinguished themselves in war hy killing an enemy in battle or hy bringing with them from the field of carnage the scalp of an enemy taken In the fight. When they had thus given evidence of their worthiness to be ranked among the warriors they had the right to tattoo their bodies with emblems and figures illustrative and commemorative of the incident in which they had proved their valor.

Every man and woman among the In- dians yielded to the arbitrary custom of tattooing, but the warriors, above all, were carried away by this sort- of vanity, and not one nf that class by any chance allowed his opportunity to re- ceive this patent of knighthood to pass by neglected. One of the ordinary methods adopted by a warrior to com- memorate a herole deed in hattle, in which he possibly had killed or in some way overcome an enemy, was to cause a tomahawk to be tattooed upon his right sboulder, and under it the hiero- glyphical sign of the nation to which belonged the conquered man.

The operation of tattooing required considerable fortitude to be borne with- out so much as wincing. A design was first drawn on the skin, and this design was then pricked with six needles, firm- ly fastened on a line in a- flat piece of wood. After this finely powdered char- coal was rubbed into the punctures made by the needles, leaving an in- effacable print of the desgn. The op- eration caused much inflammation, and sometimes fever, which brought on se- vere sickness in case the patient was neglected while the swelling lasted. While the sickness remained the only food given was Indian corn, and water was the only drink .- N. O. Picayune.

GOOD CIOCK.

A lady visiting in the south was told a story of an old colored man, who came tn a watchmaker with the two hands of a clock.

"I want yer to fix up dese hands. Dey ain't kept no correct time for mo' den six munfs."

"Well, where is the clock?" respond- ed the watchmaker.

"Out at my house."

"But I must have the clock."

"Didn' I tell yer dar's nuffin de matter An wid de clock 'cepting de han's? here dey be. You jest want de cinck so you kin tinker wid it, and charge me a big price. Gimme hack dem hands." And so saying, he started off to find an honest watchmaker .- Youth's Compan- ion.

"Taps."

A young recruit, having returned to his native town frem camp at Mon- tauk, was being entertained by some friends. He was very willing to tell all he knew. "What do you mean by "taps ?' " asked one of a group of girls. "They play taps every night on the bugle. It means 'lights out.' They play it over the bodies of dead sol- diers." . The girl was puzzled. At last she asked: "Well, what do they do if they haven't any dead soldier?" -. Yonth's Companion.

He also bought # botile af Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which ha hoped would give some relief until the doctor should arriva. In a few hours ha raturned, saying the ductur need not come, as the child was much better. The druggist, Mr. Otto Scholz, says tha family has since recommended Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to their neighbors and friends until ha has a con- stant demand for it from that part of the country, For sale by Albert C.
