As winter came Father Brotherton grew very feeble. Millicent realized with an aching heart that he was failing fast, lie was the last tie that bound her to the little 'farm, the last linlr in the chain of pleasant associations with the name of Brotherton. When he was laid to rest besiiie his wife under the little grove of oaks upon the wind-swept hillside, she would he alone in the world. She would he penniless and homeless. but she would never burden Rodney and his upon this she was resolved.

In the Christmas holidays Rodney received summons to his lather's cfeath bed, and lo Millie's great relieJ lie came without his wile. "Hor.tense was ill in bed," he said in excuw, "and verv toiry that the could not accompany him." Jlillicent believed the fact, hut rejoiced th.it the last hour.s with her dear, old friend were not poisoned bv her presence. Alter the funeral Rodney obliged to hasten back to his dutiesibul he held a short, though very kum conlercnce Millie, expressing his strong with fiire that she would always consider the larm-house her was hisgis- ter and entitled to its shelter jfe ISneiis Bhe lived. Millie thanked him warmly for his kindness, but she said very little else and Rodney went back to the city satisfied that he had done the best iii his power for bis adopted sister. Two days after his departure Millicent received the following letter: liosios, Ae you arc aware, Mr.

The door (softly unclosed, hut the visitor did notcrossthe threshold and Miilicent turned around in surprise at the unwonted action.

A man stood the doorway, and she rose quickly to her feet. "Millie! I have found vou!" cried Rodney's voice, and the next moment he had her in his arms kissing her and murmifring-glad of thankfulness over her. did you find me?" she asked when she could speak as she freed herself Irom his embrace and returned to her seat. "I Imve looked for you wherever I went; I even advertised for you, but nil in vaiu; however, I remembered your mother's name, and when I heard (ieorge old schoolmate of Miss Millicent Hayes, I knew I had iound you." "Mr. Harwood is an old friend cf "Certainly.

A fierce flame of anger blazed up for a moment in Miliicent'e overburdened heart, and then she broke into bitter tears. She knew I could notstay after this! 0, Father! Mother cried despairingly, ''II 1 could onfy go I'm wire yi.ti would welcome me glitdlv though all the world turned its back mice Thkvt night she paid and dismissed the girl, hut the house in order, packed her trunks and personal belongings, left Hoi-tense's with a few words to Rodney her inability tuiic- ct-pt his wife's oifer, and statins that she -had borrowed that was in the house nnti to repav it, scaled and and a.Jiirrssed lo Mr. Brotherton njx.n tne table; carried-the kevs of the house lo the tenant and hired him to convey herself and baugage to the railway at 10 o'clock at night Brothertou took a train tor the far West. She did not pause except to chance cars and double once or twice upon her route, to prevent ali possibility of pursuit supposing any one attempted she had placed fullv a thousand miles between Herself and the quiet little village where her girlish life had been passed. In the thriving city where she concluded to remain she found a quiet boarding place and after several weeks spent in fruitless search secured a posi- as clerk in a store, and then her "new life began.

Far distant from all friends and old associations making Jew acquaintances and spending most of her leisure tune in her own quiet room saving carefully all she coulJ of her wages to replace the monev she h-id taken from weeks and months rolled past and not a word did Millicent hear of the home and friends siie had left. A hitfer longing would olten sweep over the pirl for some voice from the news of the man she still loved so deeply as brother and friend, but she pave no outward sitrn of her suffering and suspense. She had taken her own nnme and as Millicent Hayes felt safe from detection. Nearly a year had passed and on Christmas eve Millicent sat over her 'open neglected book in her lap reviewing the past, Thouirh her wont had been close and confining nnd her isolation and loneliness so wearisome Millie had regained the flesh and slreneth lost during that last tryinc summer and winter on the farm and a lovelier woman it would be hard'to find than this one with her sad, soil blue eyes her fluffy golden hair, and her graceful figure in us simple black drew sitting lonely in the firelight. The-teare gathered in er eyes and rolled unheeded down her face as memory before her the hapny Christmas eves she had spent in the dear little farmhouse with Rodnev home from college for the prized holiday, and the dear father and mother resting in the shadows while the children popp ed the corn and cracked tiie nuts and roasted the apples for their simple entertainment.

It was early in the evening and she had just come up from tea. declining to remain the brightly lighted parlor where all the children in the house and ench of the boarders an were not fortunate enough lo possess outside invitations were gathered for games fun. The noise and gayety did not chime in well with the girl's ead lonelv feelings, she wished to steal away to dream of her lost ones and the happy times fled never to return. eenlle to at the door apd Unnkinp it a servant or one of the Millicent turned her face into the shadow to conceal her tears and had a far better right there tihe had both in the name of gratitude and affection and in the eye of the law. See what I found in lather's desk wht-n I went home upon Harrison's telling me of your he placed a folded paper in her baud.

It was a will, duly signed and witnessed executed liy Mr. liiotherton just a'ter his wife's deatii in which, after leaving tlie bulk of hie property to his eon he beijueutned the houiesiead and ts few turrountiiiig acres to his tieloved adopted daughter, Millicent Bayes. Millie read it and looked up with swimminc eyes. "Oear, dear, father said. "I did not deserve this." one on earth could have a better right to the dear old home than vou Millie," said ifodney.

"1 feel I have not." "Forgive me that I have not asked for your wife," Millie-cut's face flushed deeply. "Is her health better thaii at was?" you not know, voice was low and quiet "that Ilortense is dead "Dead Kodney!" "Ves, she died before father had been in nis grave ttnee weeks, uud she left me a little daughter, Millie, a tiny del- icute have named her Agnes after mother. You will love her, mid she will never miss a mother's care now ehe lias you." Millicent looked at him in surprise, and he took buth her hands in his and drew her tenderly to hi" side. "l)o you think shall ever lot you go upiin now I (Lave found you, inv he whispered. "You shall come iiack to little Aunesand to me and we will return to the uear, old farm- le happy once more as we ri in the sweet, old days.

Millie 1 rn-vi-r knew you were to me until I made the grand" mistake ot my life and with my own hand thrust from me, but was not long in out alter that and I have bifteriv' for my blunder. Can you forgive dear, and will you come to-me at last?" Rodney Rodney Millie laid her golden head upon his breast. "1 can say as dear mother used to, 'My cup runneth and all have suffered in the past cannot be comparecfto the happiness the present!" "And the tenlold bliss of the future added the young man fervently. "Thank God My darling, to-morrow we will go home." TIfE END.

M. yesterday this morning. Gen. Chapman Deposed. MADISON, Wis.

Jnn. Hoird's first official act was to produce a big sensation. He made a batch of appointments this afternoon, the first of which was that of Oeo. W. Burchard, of Fort Atkinson as general to succeed ChandlejXP.

Chapman. Shortly after the election it was announced on Mr. Hoard's personal authority that Col. Burchard would be appointed state pension agent to succeed Col. Watroug.

The feeling created bv that announcement and the criticism it made, has, it seems, compelled a change oi policy. It is now understood that the duties of state pension agent will be combined th those of adjutant general, and an experienced military man like Col. King, of Milwaukee, assigned as assistant to Col. Burchard. It is said that if Col.

Eurchard was nominated for pension agent, there would have been opposition to his nomination. Other appointments-made made by Gov.

The Lake Shore stockholders are buying up considerable mining stock this winter, and will probably-control a laree amount of the ore shipments next season, and bring in more busines for their two large.docks in this city.
