By SUSANNE GLENN. “Mary Ellen, didn’ I see you talking in the lane with Ben Putnam this aft- ernoon?” Miss Fidelity's voice sounded up- usualiy sharp. “I did not suppose you saw us,” an- swerd Mary Ellen with s laugh, though she felt her courage 008 ing rapidly at sight of her aunt's austere look, “Well, it so happens that I saw you. And the sight was one that would have made your father weep for shame!” Mary Ellen closed her lips in 8 determined line and remained sl lent. “You must take it from your moth- er; she was always pestering about be- ing friends with Putoams.” “I have been told, Aunt Fidelity, that the loneliness here killed her, and—I can believe it!” “There is no call for anyone who is interested in her work to be lone- some. And I would rather be lone- some than associate with those dis- honest Putnams!” “Are you prepared to prove such an assertion?’ The girl's voice shook with feeling. “Those are strong words, Aunt Fidelity.” “What do you call it but dishonest when people move a line fence, hire help away from a neighbor, steal the hens' eggs, and empty out the sap buckets in sugar time? You'll do well to leave that young Putnam alone. 1 hope there will not be occasion to say anything more about it.” “And now,” continued Miss Fidel- ity Green, after waiting in vain for some response from her indignant nlece, “they have raised my bid for the Castler Woods that they know we've been trying for years to buy.” “But what do you want with that great tract of woods, Aunt Fidelity? It was different when father was here to look after it.” “That woods was never worth what it 18 now, and 1 guess I can look after it as well as any man! I'm going down in the morning and raise my bid, but the Putnams shall never beat me!” During the hour of Miss Fidelity's absence, Mary Ellen sped up the lane to the old basswood tree with a hastily scrawled letter which she concealed in the pocket-like hole in its huge side, Next day she escaped Miss Green's eye long enough to secure the an- swer she knew she would find. It sald: “Dearest: Meet me tonight at nine by the old basswood in the lane. Mary Ellen watched the paper turn to ashes in the kitchen stove with wildly beating heart. For her reso- Jution was taken-—she would meet her lover. “What are you burning up?’ ques- tioned Miss Fidelity suspiciously, “Some old papers,” answered the girl laconically. “Pretty particular to see the last of them, seems to me,” shrewdly. “] was thinking,” sald Mary Ellen, “about the different kinds of wood in the big tract.” And she put the stove lid back in place emphatically. At exactly eight that evening Miss Fidelity wound the kitchen clock, put old Rover in the woodhouse, and lock- ed the kitchen door. Mary Ellen's heart sank as she observed that she slipped the key Into the pocket of her dress. Arrived in her room, the girl moved about softly preparing for bed. Her belief that she was being watched was verified when her aunt presently look- ed in with some unwonted question concerning the chickens. But Mary Ellen was covered snugly in bed, and Miss Fidelity went away, evidently satisfled with her experiment. During the space when the old clock was slowly striking nine, a white-faced girl dropped softly from her window to the grass not far be- neath and stole stealthily away in the shadow. Couild she ever brave the mysteries of the gloomy lane? What it Aunt Fidelity should discover her absence? What if Ben should be detained? Sup- pose she had read the note wrongly?" “Mary Ellen, I was afraid you wouldn't dare come!” A “Ben, 1 don’t know how I dared to! But she made me 80 angry with the things she said that—I couldn’t help | “Tell me, Mary Ellen.” The young man wrapped her in a warm coat he had provided, and walked slowly be- side her over the crisp, dead grass. “There isn’t anything I want to tell you, Ben; it is all 80 unkind. And now that the Castler Woods deal has come up again, she is worse than ever. She vows she will own them at any cost.” “And father is just as determined, Mary Ellea.” “l am scared to death to think I came, Ben. What if she discovers my empty room?” Ben Putnam stopped resolutely. “See here, Mary Ellen, we are both young, and I meant to wait a while, but she has herselt to blame for bhur- I love you—you know “Yes,” whispered the girl. "And you love me, dear?” “Y—yes!” “] am going back with you now. It t. away. No one is going to dictate to you any more, my dear girl” At a sound of approaching steps they turned suddenly. Mr. Putnam stocd before them. “Pen,” he said, “I've bought the Castler Woods. That is settled!” “Ob,” walled Mary Ellen, “she’ll never fcrgive us now.” Mr. Putnam chuckled. “Come, children,” he said at last, *1 guess I'd better see you both gafely home.” “The window 1is closed,” gasped Mary Ellen. “She has found out I am gone! I—I don't dare go fia."” They approached the darkened house silently, Mr. Putnam, striding up to the door, rapped resoundingly. In a moment it was opened by Miss Fidelity, fully dressed. “l hear,” began Mr. Putnam, when they had all entered the kitchen and closed the door, “that you call us & low, dishonest family.” X “I do, Jed Putnam, and if you need any particulars to refresh your mem- ory, 1 can givo them.” “Thank you, there is no meed. 1 have tried for many years to prove to you that you have misjudged me. As (ha‘g has proved fruitless, 1 am going from now on to live up to our reputation for dishonesty. “To begin with, my son Ben has, by my advice and consent, stolen the heart of your niece. Not satisfied with that rascality, I have further de- clared that, in case you do not give your full consent, 1 shall aid and abet him in removing her from your pro- tection and marrying her without your consent.” Miss Fidelity stood grim. “At eight o'clock this evening 1 closed the deal for the Castler Woods, being fully aware of your unreason- able desire to possess them, and giv- ing $10 more an acre than you offered. | Even this 1 consider a good bargain. There is now but one possible way for you to obtain them, and 1 guess you know what that is, Fidelity.” Miss Fidelity tossed her head in- dignantly. “What do you say? Will you let Mary Ellen and Ben be married in a respect- able manner? Will you consent to call yourself Mrs. Putnam for the sake of owning the Castler Woods?" Mary Ellen gasped at the audacity of anyone who dared defy her uncon- querable Aunt Fidelity. “Mary Ellen,” said Miss Fidelity se- vercly after a period of breathless suspense, *1 guess now that your most priceless possession has been taken from you, you will believe what I've told you about the Putnams! “Young man,” turning to Ben, “I have nothing to say of your duplicity. Your punishment will come in pos- sessing a wife so simple and undis- cerning that she will be influenced by every wind that blows, deat to ad- vice and admonition and taken in by every impostor, “As to your proposition, Jed Put- nam, there is but one thing to be sald. I've sworn to possess the Cast- ler Woods, and if | can't do it one way, I must another!” (Copyright, 1912, by the McClure News- paper Syndicate.) THREE FORMS OF MORALITY Quiet Judgment Needed to Determine Just From What Motive Good Action Springs. When, from a right motive, with ef- fort and sacrifice, | “elp a weak and | &} poor man, I enrich my individual and | & It 1 bestow from a|f} spiritual being. mere gush of feeling, 1 recelve no permanent spiritual benefit; if from a bad motive, 1 impoverish my own heart. Acts, then, which appear the same thing in form, differ widely, con- sidered in their religious bearings. There i8 the morality of impulse, the morality of selfishness and the moral- ity of principle, or religious morality. The motive of the first named we obey instantaneously, and it may do good, just as we draw our hands from the flame, and thereby obey a law of our physical nature, though we act without any consideration of that law. A great deal of the morality in the world is of this kind. It may do good, but has no reference to the law of rectitude. It is impulsive, and, there- fore, does not Indicate a steadfast virtue, or a dep religious life. For the very impulsiveness that leads to the gratification of the sympathies leads to the gratification of the ap- petites, and thus we often find gen- erous and benevolen} characteristics mixed with viclous conduct. Then, there is the morality of selfishness. In this instance | may perform many good actions from sheer calculation of material profit. 1 may be benevo- lent, because it will increase my repu- tation for philanthropy. I may be honest, because “honesty is the best policy.” But is this the highest, the religious sanction of morality? No; the morality of the religious man is the morality of principle. The motive in his case is not “I wilL” or “I had better,” but “I ought.” The morality of policy is mean and selfish. The morality of religion is loyal, disinter- ested, self-sacrificing.—Edwin Hubbell Chapin. Going Down. “I thought I'd prospect for coal in my back yard.
