THE SPOILING OF
SARAH JANE £ A
By JULIA THUITT BISffOP
(Copyright. 1001, by D»ilj stoiy Pub. Oo.)
R. LAWLERcast a casual glance at
the little cottage down at the corner
the cottage which he owned, and which
his agent had rented two days before to
i Mr3. Bryan, tall of figure and hard of
aand. Surely there was a child sitting
in the step. He arose and looked closer*
Yes—a litle girl—an exceedingly small
girl; though he saw now that her aimin
ittive figure appeared smaller because
she was hunchback. A white
cat was winding and rubbing
around her. For the first time
ce he had owned the row of cottages
•hlld held possession in one of them,
Mr. Lawler was angry. This was too
less of Morton—he would see him
it at once. He would tear that
(f houses down next year and make
jeyard there—or something—per-
a quiet grove, with high walls
d it, where he could rest in the
evenings
Mr. juawler had for some years been
'able to afford himself any little fancy he
ased, and it was one of his fancies to
ilike children; to steer clear of them
never he could; to Ignore them when
ent to the houses of his friends; to
that they never intruded on his
ds, where he held state in the big.
house; and to make careful pro-
that no family with children
1 get into one of his cottages. Ho
anaged so carefully that this had
practically a childless nelghbor-
No boys rolled their hoops along
ldewalk by those cottages; no little
dressed dolls on the steps; no baby
d its tiny bauds on the window
es. Perhaps one reason for this was
t there had once been a child in the
house, and after the mother’s death
and1 the boy had grown further and
finisher apart—had not understood one
another, and had finally come to divis-
ibU so that Mr. Lawler had told the boy
t»« the 'door was open and he could go.
He'ytad not dreamed that David would
tgffi him at his word—but there was no
mother to stand between them now, as
(he had done all the boy’s life, so David
went; and now Mr. Lawler, the learned
lawyer, the eloquent speaker, sat in the
•tilared portico of the big house and
icowled fiercely at a little girl on the step
>f the cottage at the end of the row.
1 The next morning he saw her at closer
'■atage. He went past the cottage on his
«ty to town, and just then she flashed out
»f the door and sat down on the step with
ajmdden plump that attracted his frown-
glance. She was carrying a bowl
«Qd a spoon, and the white cat was fol-
. awing with expectation in every fea-
’ i«re.
“Now, Sarah Jane,” said the little girl,
n a high, thin voice, that seemed to
‘ e her more elfish than before, “stand
n’ eat, an’ don’t you spill a drop!"
!e could not help pausing to look—
tall, thin man who disliked children
•ere was something so weird about
little girl on tbe step. She was grave-
xtending a spoonful of milk to the
and the cat as gravely sat erect on
haunches, with both paws grasping
e sides of the spoon; and, with eyes
jalf closed and ears bent back, drank the
you try it awhile. I reckon this house Is
lonesome—just you, an’ not even a cat
to talk to. I know where I can get you
one—right aroun’ at that bouse where
the steps is broke down.”
"Go back to tfhe kitchen and ask the
cook for some milk,” he interrupted
(lustily and frowuingly. "I don’t want
your money—keep it.” \
The child walked slowly down the
_ _r, step3 and past *Jjo corner, keeping a
|V/| R' LAWLERcast a casual glance at troubled e>s upon him; but when she
III the little cottage down at the corner came back presently her step was alert
and her manner resolute. She set the
bucket down on the bottom step and
mounted toward him.
"I wouldn’t take the milk without
payin’ for it,” she said, the sharp little
voice mounting higher with every deter-
mined word. "Sarah Jane ain’t no beg-
gar—an’ even if ’tain’t but a little, you
can put it away an’ keep it. Maybe it’ll
come In handy some day.”
There had been a sudden motion of the
little bird-claw hand toward the book
that was lying open and unread on his
knee, and she was gone. When he
looked down presently, thereon the open
page lay a copper cent.
He arose and wandered about the
beautiful lawn, and among the flowers,
and through the house, from room to
room. What a strange thing memory
was! He could see his wife comingdown
those stairs now, as plainly as he had
ever seen her bodily presence; and the
boy—the boy was everywhere—a child-
ish babe in the nursery—a little lad,
bursting in from school—a tall youth,
his handsome face pale, going out of
that door with only a "Good-by, father! “
And then the long years.
Willis,” he said, awkwardly, a little
later, to the astonished cook, “we have
a great deal of milk, I believe—more
than we really need. Would you mind
taking enough for two—or more, per-
haps—a little more—there’s the cat-
down to that cottage *at the corner—
every day, Willis, please?”
As the days passed Mr. Lawler sat in
the great portico every evening, feeling
the loneliness of thp house enveloping
him like a cloud. He sat facing the little
cottage now. He felt sure that the child
would suddenly start up beside him some
evening when he least expected it; but
she did not. Then he arose and walked
slowly past the cottage, determined that
if ho should see her he would ask her to
come up and sit on the steps; but she
was not to be seen. Sometimes he fin-
gered a common little coin in-his vest
pocket, as though It had been some kind
of magic talisman; and the magic of It
was this, that the merest touch of it
brought back the'little lad who htd gone
out of his life.
At last, one morning, he w.ent out at
the gate, and looked down the street to
the corner at which he always caught the
car; and then turned to go past the row
of cottages, which was much the longer
way; and as he passed a scream and the
walling of a woman sounded from with-
in. He was there in a moment—through
the gate, bursting in at the door. The
weeping mother was down on her knees,
gathering up the insensible child from
the floor where she had fallen. It was
Mr. Lawler who took the little form
away and laid it on the bed.
“Oil. ye’ve come after the rent!” cried
the mother wringing her hands. “Oh,
don’t ye be coming’ after the rent, when
I’m that distracted, with Katie ailin’
all this week, an’ now took like this
"Dp quiet, woman! Does n man think
of nothing but rent?” he said sternly,
milk with much rattling of a red tongue ‘tb for
iRrainoi -t___ th« Pulse thin wrist. "Have you
had^a doctor?"
“An’ how could \ have a doctor?”
sobbed the woman, “an’ me with no
money to dare to send for ’im!
“I will telephone for a doctor,” he
snld; hut as ho was going out she called
after him desperately:
“Oh, then, get a cheap one—for ye
know how it is with the poor!”
He was gone but a very few minutes;
but in that tin-’ he had called a doctor,
rung for a messenger boy and sent a tele-
gram. The message was a very Rlmpia
one. It was addressed to David Lawler,
in a weste»n city, and read:
“Will you come homo to see your fath-
er? John Lawler.”
The doctor Mr. Lawler called was not
a cheap one. He came in his automobile,
and was In truth a little surprised at the
house which required Ms august pres-
ence; but Mr. Lawler went in with him,
and in a moment he was leaning over
the frail little form on the bed.

sgalnst the tip of the spoon. Mr. Law-
er looked on with a portentous frown.
“I should think you could find some-
fhing more important to do than spoll-
ng that cat,” he said severely.
The little girl turned her large eyes
ipon him. •>
“She ain’t spoiled!” shg said, in the
(harp little voice. “She’s an orphan, an’
lad to be raised by hand, an’ that’s the
mly way she knows how to eat."
“That’s all nonsense,” said Mr. Law-
er, with deep disgust. “You should be
.aught to make some good use of your
-.ime and help your mother make a living
.nstead of wasting your life spolllnganl-
nals—which are a nuisance, under any
.ircumstances. And why should poor
jeople make their expenses heavier by
ceeping worthless animals?"
The little girl dipped up another
■poonful of milk and held It out to Sarah
, fane, who accepted it hungrily.
It was a week later before he saw the
;hl!d again; and then as he leaned bade*
n his easv chair, looking at something
cry far away, beyond the red light of
he sunset, a sharp little voice arose, al
nost from beneath his feet.
‘Tve brung my bucket over to get a
•opper cent’s worth of milk for Sarah
lane,” said the voice; and there before
dm was the solemn, elfish little face
vith the big eyes.. “We couldn’t get
lone this mornin’—mother was out o’
noney—but Sarah Jane ’ll jist go wild
f she don’t get her milk ever’ day, so I
iroke Into my tin bank.”
1 She hold out the bucket In one hand
,nd the copper cent in the other, with
tasy confidence—thin little hands that
ooked like birds’ claws. The groat law-
yer and fluent speaker in the easy chair
•was very much Irritated.
“I don’t sell milk," ho Eald, waving
(way bucket and coin. "Stop one of the
nilk wagons when you want to buy
Bilk.”
“Now you know very well they don’t sell
i copper cent’s worth o’ milk,” she re-
torted, pitying his Ignorance of affairs.
“An’ you’ve got a cow that mother says
must give gallons an’ gallons. Do make
’aste—Sarah Jane Is mighty near tearin’
the house down, she wantB her milk so
bird.”
Really this was too much!
“I don’t see why your mother doesn’t
have that cat killed," snld Mr. Lawler,
sharply. The little face grew more elfish
still as the big eyes regarded him in-
tently.
“Snrnh Jane wouldn’t thank nobody to
kill her,” she said. "She likes to live. If
you’d ever had anything like Sarah Jane
about the house you wouldn’t talk that
■way. I’ll got you a cat,.lf.you want, an’
“She is partially conscious,” said the
doctor a long time afterward. “I think
she is distressed by the mewing of that
cat. Can’t something be done with it?”
The mother’s tpars flowed afresh, so
that she hardly noticed the knock at the
door, which Mr. Lawler answered.
"Sure, an’ I don’t know what to do
with the cat!” she cried piteously.
“Kalte’s always fed It her own self, aft-
er ways of her own, an’ it won’t eat for
me, an’ that’s the truth of it—an’ phe
was jist gettln’ ready to feed it this
mornin’ when she wns took.”
Mr. Lawler stood in the door with a
yellow telegraph slip in his hand; nnd
both of those who looked up at him saw
that years had fallen from his face.
“Coming on first train.—Davie.” ho
cried, exultlngly, not knowing thnt he
spoke aloud. "Davie! His mother al-
ways called him that. It is a pleasant
name!—what’s .the matter?—the cat?—
Are you hungry, Sarah Jane?—here—
give me the milk, and a spoon. I think
4 know Just how it’s done. Now stand
up nnd eat, Sarah Jane, and don’t you
spill a drop!”
He was down on tho Iloor—ho was
gravely offering a spoonful of milk to
Sarah Jane. Ah—this was something
like! Sarah Jane ant up, grasped the
sides of the spoon with both paws nnd
drank, with much Joyous rattling of a
red tongue.
And then, nil at once there wns a shrill
cackla pf laughter from tho bed, and
there wore the hlg eyes wide open, star-
ing at tho figure on the floor.
“It looks so funny,” she gasped, weak-
ly, between lnughs—"to see—him—sit-
tin’ there—spollln’ Saruh Jane!”
A remarkable discovery has appar-
ently 'been made by a Dublin veterin-
ary surgeon named Allen respecting au
antidote for carbolic acid poisoning.
Some time ago his attention was
drawn to two horses which were evi-
dently suffering trom poisoning. On
examining one ne noticed that mucous
surface of the mouth was blanched
and that the animal was staggering.
There was a general twitching of the
muscles, the eyes were siar.ng, and
the animal was rapidly assuming a
comatose condition. Mr. Ahen asked
for some (Oil, linseed for preference, if,
not, any kind of oil that was handy.
Some was brought, and ubout two
wine glassfuls administered to one of
the animals, the effect being, to quote
the words of Mr. Allen, miraculous.
For the first time he then noticed that
the "oil” which had been given to the
horse was the ordinary turpentine of
commerce. So satisfied was he with
the result that he gave the Second
horse a dose, although at that time
the animal was unconscious. In about
ten minutes it recovered, and both
horses were at work the ntxt day, as if
nothing had happened.
Not long after this, by a peculiar
coincidence, Mr. Allen was asked to
look at a blacksmith, who, after drink-
ing a glass of stout, had become very
ill. In the forge the veterinary found
the smith in a condition of coma, a
strong smell of carbolic acid pervading
the premises. Ultimately he discovered
that the man had drunk out of the
wrong vessel, and imbibed a solution
of the acid instead of the stout. A doc-’
tor was at once sent for, but in the
meantime Mr. Allen administered a
dose of turpentino that happened to be
on the premises, and the man not only
quickly recovered, but resumed his
work within an hour.
Turpentine as an antidote in similar
cases has been previously unknown,
and a representative of the Daily News
recently sought out an expert with a
view of getting a medical opinion upon
a matter of so much importance. “The
symptoms in the case you mention,
he said, "are distinctly those of car-
bolic acid poisoning, and so successful
does the treatment appear to have
been that further experiments in the
same direction are well worth trying
If subsequent experiments confirms
the oil of turpentine treatment, then
on every packet or bottle containing
carbolic acid should be printed this
simple antidote.”—London News.

The current theories concerning the
sun and the planets are that tbe sun was
once vastly hotter than It Is now, and
that for a long period It has been slowly
but steadily cooling. The doctrine is
built on the notion that the sun is a mass
of fire in progress of Intense nnd fierce
combustion, end that, like any other
fire, unless Its fuel is replenished, It
must burn out and become extinguished.
Seme astronomers teach- that the sun
is supplied with fuel by vast quantities
of comets anil meteors that are shoveled
Into it by some process of nature, but
other astronomers like Sir Robert Hall
reject the possibility of any such sys-
tematic supply of fuel, and they believe
that the sun as it burns out shrinks In
size at the rate of 220 feet of Its diame-
ter In a year. As the mass of the sun la
something like 880,000 miles In diameter.
It Is calculated still to last for a good long
time, but there Is. something extremely
melancholy and saddening In the idea
that our grand luminary will one day
burn out with a spasmodic gleam and a
whiff of ill-smelling smoke like the snuff
of a candle.
It is with great satisfaction that we
are allowed to believe in the possibility
that the sun Is made of radium, and that
It can continue to give off heat and light
for an Inconceivable lapse of ages with-
out being in the least diminished either
In size or capacity to warm and illum-
inate us. The Idea that It is not losing
220 feet of Its diameter yearly la particu-
larly consoling.
There is another suggestion which
would enable our solar system to con-
tinue its operations without either suf-
fering an Instantaneous conflagration
or being consumed by slow combustion,
and this Is that tho sun nnd various
bodies which revolve around It consti-
tute an electric dynamo and an Incan-
descent lamp on such a scale as could be
designed and created by combined om-
niscience and omnipotence, to goon its
beneficent course forever. Such a notion
meets only the contempt of science
which Insists upon the existence of
actual fire In the sun, that must sooner
or later burn Itself out to complete ex-
tinguishment. Until, however, astron-
omers like Prof. Langley shall make a
flying machine without balloon attach
menl. that will enable buifian beings to
fly, their vagaries concerning the play-
ing out of the sun may well be neglectef
by all except full-fledged scientists.
The democratic campaign this year
Is fulKof Inconsistencies and contradic
tions. The candidate for president is
a tariff reformer of advanced ideas; the
candidate for vice president is a tariff
beneficiary and would deal with the
tariff with tender gentleness. The dem-
ocrats criticise the present administra-
tion for not having done more to regu-
late and curb trusts. While the Wall
street Interests, represented by Bel-
mont, are active In Mr. Parker’s sup-
port. Mr. Parker, who voted twice for
Mr. Bryan on a free silver platform,
has declared strongly for the gold
standard, and Mr. Bryan, who has not
changed his views on the money ques-
tion, is supporting him, says the in-
dependent Indianapolis News.
And Mr. Hornaday, in his letter from
Baltimore, pointed out another curious
contradiction in democratic methods.
Maryland is one of the states the ilem-
’ ocrats must carry. In that state for
many years Senator Gorman has been
' the democratic boss. But there has
j been a growth of republican sentiment
I In the state, and in order to strengthen
1 the hold of tne democrats, laws have
i been passed practically disfranchising
a large proportion of the negroes. The
i laws have been made different for dif-
: feren^ parts of the state, so as still
more to confuse the negro voter. Fur-
ther, a ”Jim Crow” law has been
passed, affecting railway travel. More-
over, as our correspondent reports,
there are evidences of an effort to stir

Prof. Elrod, of the University of Mon-

That is the policy of dealing with the
neg.o in the state of Maryland, where
Gorman Is the controlling force In
democratic politics. But at the same
time the democratic managers at na-
tional headquarters, of whom Mr. Gor-
man Is onq, are putting forth unusual
efforts to win negro voles in the doubt-
ful northern states. A special bureau
for propagandist work among the ne-
groes has Yieen established In New
York, though not in immediate connec-
tion with national headquarters, nnd
emissaries are being se:it to various
states in the hope of winning negro
votes for Parker. Indiana Is one of
the states where It Is hoped to "In-
fluence” negroes to turn away from
Roosevelt. It is even hinted that the
appearance of George L. Knox as an
indpendent candidate for congress In
this district may possible bn traced to
the activity of the negro democratic
bureau.
It Is perfectly proper, of course, for
the democratic managers to seek in a’l
legitimate ways to win negroes to their
party. But we do not believe that they
can influence any considerable number
of them In norihern states, while in the
south they are denying them all polit-
ical rights. So long as negroes in most
of the southern states cannot vote at
all berause of laws made by democrats
it is absurd to suppose that many ne-
groes In the north are going to vote
for a democratic candidate for presi-
dent. or a democratic or “Independent”
candidate for congress.—Indianapolis
News (Ind.).
By the eastern papers Roosevelt con-
tinues to be held up to ridicule, contempt,
abuse, scorn, and laughter In the uniform
of an American soldier, as If apparently
that garb were the very livery of tbe
devil, says the Chicago Tribune.
That Roosevelt Bhould be held in dis-
esteem simply because he went to the
front in the Spanish war is the result
of a peculiar psychological process
whld^came about thus:
The “anti-imperialists” of the Atlantic
coast are rabid in their earnestness.
They feel that the acquisition of the
Philippines and Porto Rico was the great
American crime of last century. The
Spanish war brought the Philippines
and Porto Rico under our flag. The Span-
ish war, therefore, was an unspeakable
crime. Naturally, if not logically, go-
ing a step further, everybody who went
to the Spanish war was a criminal.
Roosevelt went to the Spanish war. Ha
was a criminal, and his uniform Is as
disgraceful to him as the stripes to a
convict.
It has been mental processes such as
these which have fostered in the minds
of the eastern editors the delusion that
Roosevelt can be successfully damned
by picturing him in an American uni-
form. And the eastern editors have
been subject to such mental processes
because they do too much cloister work.
They go into their editorial sanctums,
lock the door, and think out the prob-
lems of the universe. They do not get
into touch with the crowds in the streets.
They do not understand the common
people. Perhaps the editors are far
ahead of their times. Or perhaps they
are off on a sidetrack, or in a back water.
Wherever they are, they are not with
their times, and they do not influence
current thought.
A future age may call them seers, but
this age calls them cranks.
If these editors would come down oft
Mount Sinai they would possess mora
common sense and more influence. They
would cease to be merely the Brahmins
of a small, self-centered, and intensely
self-satisfied intellectual caste. They
would get into the current of to-day’s
life. That would be good for tltem—
and would not hurt the country, appre-
ciably.
