AN OLD LADY'S LOVE STORY, I sat spinning- at mv little wheel, in the eun, for the autumn day was cold, when I heard gome one whistling ; and looking np, there waa a young 'Sqire Tur ner, with his arras folded on the gate, looking over. When he caught my eye he laughed, I blushed : and I arose and made him a courtesy. He was a handsome gentleman, the 'S.uire, and the hand from which he pulled the glove shimmeted in the eun with pearls and diamonds : and be was bonny to look at, with his hair like spun gold in the bright October sunlight. hen I courtesied he bowed, making bis curls dance over his shoulders, and, said he : " I've spoiled one pretty picture that I could have looked at all day, but I've made another as pretty, so I'll not grieve. May I come in ?" "And welcome sir," said I. And I set a chair for him, for he was grandfather's landlord ; but for all that I felt uncomfortable, for I was not used to fine company. lie talked away, paying me more com pliments than I was used to, for grand mother, who brought me np, always said : " Handsome is as handsome does," and " Beauty is but skin deep." 8ince I'm telling the story, I had done wrong about one thing. Neither of the old folks knew that I wore Eran Locke's ring in my bosom, or that we'd taken a vow to each other beside the hawthorne that grew in the church lane. I never meant to deceive, but grannie was old and a little hard, and that love of mine was such a sweet secret. Besides, money seems to outweigh all else when people nave struggled all their lives through to turn a penny, nnd they knew Evan was a poor, struggling young surgeon, and I thought I'd wait awhile nntil I could sweeten the news with the fact that he had at last begun to accumulate a fortune. Grannie came in from the dairy five minutes after the Siuire had gone, and heard he had been there. I didn't tell her of his fine speeches, but there was a keyhole to the door she came through and I have a kind of guess she heard them. That night we had something elne to think of. Misfortunes had come upon grandfather ; but I didn't foresee that, when the half year's rent should come due, not s penny to pay it with would be found. All this time Evan Locke and I had been as fond as ever of each other, and he came as often as before to talk with grandpa on the winter nights ; and still every little while our young landlord, Squire Turner, woul 1 drop in, and sit in his lazy way watching me knit or spin and once or twice he was flushed with wine and over bold, for he tried to kiss me. But 'Squire or no, I boxed his ears for his pains, and no softer than I could help, either. l could not help his coming, nor help seeing him when be came, and I did not deserve that F.van should be angry with me. But he was. Eh, so high and so mighty, and spoke as though one like th 'Squire could mean no good by com ing to so poor a place as the shool mas ter's. He made me very angry, and I spoke up : " For that matter, the 'Squire would be glad to have me promise to marry biin," said I. He thinks far more of me than " Maybe you like him better V said F.vgn. " I don't say that," I replied. But bad temper and jealousy scarce make me over fond of another. I pray I may never have a husband who will scold and be cross." , , For he had been scolding me ; ro oth er name for it. Well, Evan was wroth with me, and I with him not heart deep, though, I thought and I did not see him for more than a week. I was troubled much, al though I knew he would come around again, and mayhap ask my pardon. For before you are wed ysu can bring your lover to his senses. So I did not fret after Evan's absence, nor quite snub Squire Turner, who liked me more than ever. But one night my grandfather came in, and, shutting the door, stood between grandmamma and looking at me, and so strangely that we both grew frightened. At last he re marked : " I've been to the "Squires, and for the first time I had to tell him that I could not pay the rent when due." I opened my lips. Grandmamma's covered them. Grandpa drew me to him. " Thoa'rt young, lass," said he, " and they are right who call thee pretty. Child, could'at thou like the 'Squire well enough to wed him T", " Eh T" cried grandma. "Sure, you're not wandering V " 'Squire Turner asked me for this lass of ours to-night. Of all women in this world there is but one he loves as he should his wife, and that is our own Agatha." " I drearnpt of goldea rings and white roses on Christmas eve," critd grannis. " I knew the lass would be lucky." ESTABLISHED 1827. WEDNESDAY, SEPTE1UBE L 1891. But I pnt my head on grandfather's shoulder and hid my Cice. The truth must out. I knew. " Wilt thou have him, and be a rich lady ?" said grandpa. And when he bad waited for an an swer, I burst out with " Xo " and a sob together, " She's frightened," said grandmamma. " Xay, we must all wed once in our lives, my child." Then grandpa talked to me ; he told me how poor they had grown, and how kind the Squire was, and I had but to marry him to make my grandparents free from debi and poverty their lives through: If I refused and vexed the 'Squire, heaven only knew what might happen " She'll never ruin rs," sobbed grand mamma. Ah ! it was hard to bear bitter hard, bat now there was no help for it. I took the ring ftom my bosom and laid it on my palm, and told them it was Evan Locke's and that I had plighted my troth to him. And grandmamma called me a deceitful wretch, and grandfather looked as though his heart would break. Oh, I would have done anything for them anything but give up my true love. That night I kissed his ring and pray ed heaven that he might love me always. Ia the morning it was gone, ribbon and all, from my neck. I looked for it high and low, but found no Btgn of it And I began to fear the loss of that dear ring was a sign that I would never marry Evan Locke. The days passed on, and he never came near me. " Oh, it was cruel in him," I thought, ' to hold such anger for a hasty word he had provoked, when I spoke it that he must know I loved him so." And grandma would scarcely look at me (I know why now), and grandpa sighed, and moaned, and talked of the workhouse. And I thought I should die of grief among them One day grandma said to me : " It seems that your sweetheart is not over fond of you, nor over anxious to see you. "Why notr said I. " Where has he been during the past month?" " Busy, doubtless," said I, with a smile, though I thought that my heart would burst. " You're going with him, maybe 7" " Where ?" said I. She went to the kitchen door and beckoned in a woman who sat there I'ame Coombs, who had come over with eggs. " I heard you rightly," she said. " You told me Evan Locke and bis mother were making ready for a voyage ?" " They're going to Canada. My son, a carpenter and a good one, though I say it made the doctor a box for his things. The old lady dreads the new country, but she goes for the doctor's sake. There is money to be made there." " I told you' so," said grandmother. " I don't believe it," said I. " They've sold the house, and gone to Liverpool to take ship ; and you may find the truth for yourself if you choose to take the trouble," said Dame Coombt. " I'm no chatterbox, to tell falsehoods about my neighbors." And still I would not believe it until I had walked across the moor and had seen the shutters fast closed and the door barred, and not a sign of life about the place. Then I gave up hope. I went home all pale and trembling, and Eat down at grandmamma's knee. " It's true," said I. " And for the sake of so false a lad you will see your grandfather ruined and break his heart, and leave me, that has nursed you from a baby, a widow." I looked at her as she sobbed, and I found strength to say : "Give me to whom you will, then, since my own love does not want me." And then I crept np stairs and sat down on my bedside, weak as though I had fainted. I would have thanked heaven for forgetftilness just then, but it wouldn't come. The next day 'Squire Turner was in the parlor as my accepted lover. How pleased he was and how the color came back into grandfather's old face ! And grannie grew so proud and kind, and all the house was aglow, and only I sad. But I couldn't forget Evan Evan whom I had loved so sailing away from me without a word. I suppose they all saw I looked sad. The 'Squire talked of my health,! and would make me ride with him over the moors for strength. The old folk said nothing. They knew what ailed rue, only our little Scotch maid seemed to think there was aught wrong. Once she said to me : " What ails ye, miss ? Your eye is dull and your cheek is pa!e, and your braw, grand lover canna make ye smile, ye are na that ill, either." " Xo, I am well enough," said L She looked at me wistfully. " Gin ye'd tell me your all, I might tell ye a cure," she said. But there was no cure for me in this world, and I couldn't pen my heart to simple Jennie. So the days roiled on, and I was close on my marriage eve, and granny aud Dorothy Plume were busy with my wedding robes. I wished that it were my shroud they were working at instead. And one night the pain in my heart grew too great, and I went out among the purple heather on the moor, and there knelt down under the stars and prayed to be taken from the world ; " for how can I live without Evan 7" I said. I spoke the words aloud, and then I started np in affright, for there at my side was an elfish little figure, and I heard a cry that at first I scarce thought earthly. Yet it was but Scotch Jennie, who had followed me. " V'by do ye call for your true love now?" she said. " Ye sent him fra ye, for Kke o' the young "Squire." " How dare you follow and n atch me?" Bat she caught my sleeve.' M Dinny be vexed," she said. " Just bide s wee, and answer what I speer. It's for love of you, for Tve seen ye waste like the snow wreath in the sua sin the 'Sjuire woed ye. Was it your will the 11 that loved the ground ye trod on should have his ring sgaia T I What do you mean T" said I. ! - TH onoak win T llTSO rr-w Tlo " aaid Jennie, " I rode with the mistress to - I a j i 1 . ID young Dr. Locke's place past the moor, and there she alighted and gave htm a ring, and what she said I know not, but it turnod him the tint o' death, and said he: "There's sa a drop o true bluid in a woman gin she is false." And he turned to the wall and covered his eyes, an' yer grannie rode home. There, 'tis all I ken wull it do T " Ay, Jennie," said I, " heaven bleae you." And had I wings on my feet I could not have come to the cottage door any sooner. I stood before my grandfather tremb ling and white, and I said: "Oh, don't tell me, grannie, you have cheated and robbed me cf aay true love by a lie. Iid you steal the troth ring from my neck and give it back to Evan, as if from me 7 You I've loved and honored all my life long " She turned scarlet. " True love !" said she ; - you've but one true love now 'Squire Turner." " You have done it :" I cried. Its written on your fa." - And she looked down at that, and fell to weeping. My own true love was breaking his heart," she said. " My husband and I had loved for forty years. I did it to save him. Could I let a girl's fancy, worth nothing, stand in my way, and see him a beggar, in his old aw 7 Oh, girl, girl 1" And then I fell down at her feet like a stone. I knew nothing for an hour or so, but then when I was better, and they left me with Jennie, I bade her fetch my hood aud cloak, and her own, and come with me, and away I went across the moor in the starlight to where the hall windows were ablaze with light, and asked the housekeeper to let me see the 'Squire. She stared at me for my boldness no wonder but called him. So in a mo ment he stood before me in his evening dress, with his cheeks flushed and his eyes bright, and led me into a little room and seated me. Agatha, my love, I hope no mis chance brings you here?" But I stopped him. " Xot your love, "Squire Turner," I said. I thank you for thinking so well of me but after all that has passed, I " I could say no more. He took my hand. "Have I offended you, Agatha?" he said. Not you. The offense the suilt oh, I have been sorely cheated !" and all I could do was to sob. At last strength came to me. I went back to the first and told him all how we had been plighted to each other, only waiting for better prospects to be wed. and how, when he honored me by an of fer of his hand, I angered my grand mother by owning to the truth, and of the ring grannie had stolen from my breast, and the false message that had been sent my promised husband from me. " And though I never see Evan Locke again," said I, " still I can never be an other man's true love, for I am his until I die." Then as I looked, all the rich color fa ded out of the "Squire's face, and I saw the sight we seldom see more than once in a lifetime a strong young man in tears. At last he arose and came to me. "My little Agatha never loved me," he said. " Ah, me! The news is bad I thought she did. This comes of vanity " Many a higher and fairer have hearts to give," said I. "Mine was gone ere you saw me. And then, kind and gentle, as thongh I had not grieved him, he gave me his arm and saw me across the moor, and at the gate paused and w hispered : "Be at rest, Agatha. The Golden George has not sailed yet." I liked him bettor than I had ever done before that night when I told grannie I would never wed him. Eh! but be was fit to be a king the grandest, kindest, and best of living men, who rode away with the break of the morrow and never stopped till be reach ed Liverpool and found Evap Locke just ready to set foot upon the Golden George and told him a taie that made his heart light and sent him back to me.

For we were married, and in a few years had boys and girls at our knees ; and when the oldest was nigh two, the thing that needed to make me quite happy, hap penedand from far over the eea, where he had been three twelvemonths, came our "Squire, w ith the bonniest lady that ever flashed beside him, and the Hall had a mistress who loved the "Squire as loved Evan. Eh ! but it's an old story. She that I remembered as a girl I saw in her eollin ithered and old. And then they opened the vault where the 'squire had slept ten years to put her beside him; and I'te nothing left of Evan, my life and my love, but his memory, and it seems as if every hope and dream of joy I ever had were put away under tombstones. And even the Golden George, the great strong ship that would have borne my dear from me, has moldered away at the bot tom of the sea. And I think my wed ding ring is likely to outlast us (all, for I have it yet, and I shall be ninety to morrow. Xinety! It's s good old age, and it can't be long now before I meet Evan and the rest in heaven. TV Grnttanan'i Merit Wins.

The very startling question was pot to a popular and pretty actress at a jolly supper: "Do you ever rehearse stage kisses?" The young lady smiled and replied that she always did. "Xot repeatedly," she saaid, but just once. I don't care to be surprised by a peculiar sort of kiss on the night of a performance, so I always have an actor show me beforehand just how he is giing to do it. There's nothing in acting that I dread so much as a kiss. Xo, I'm not a prude and do not suffer from the act ual contact of a polite and good looking fellow's lips, but there are more chances of disaster in a stage kiss than in almost any action in the drama. In first place it is apt to disturb my make-up. Then the actor may be a nervous man and pull away ray w hig, if I'm wearing one, or he may clutch me so tight that when he lets me go I loao my balance and get lauphed at. My worst stage experience resulted from a kiss. It was a scene of immen.se pathos, while I am hanging about my lover's neck, who is being taken to pris on. The actor who played the weoer was an aw fully nice fellow, and not in the least disagreeable to hang to. I did so with extra tenacity on the night in question, and I noticed that he tried to free himself of me. But I clung on tight and glued my face to his. 'lt me go he gasped, and tried to drag back, but I pressed my face still closer, determined to get a lot out of the scene. Suddenly, as I was rapturously kissing him he sneezed. Oh, what sneeze it was! it seemed to start from his boots, and I bounded away from him, dazed by the shock. Then I heard a roar of laughter in the audience, and saw my lover rush ing from the stage with one section of his black mustache missing. There was another speech before the act should have ended, but the stage manager did not wait for it. He rang down the cur tain, and then informed me thi t I had better return the actor's mustache to him. When I reached my dressing-room I found a big piece of the false mustache sticking to my chin. I had not kissed it awav. The actor lost it in the sneeze." Slow Coaches Best The great, roaring, hissing, steaming trains of engine and cars which pant and slip over the iron roads that net all lands are still to the negroes who dwell deep in the black belt a source of constant wonderment. The swinging carriage, the almost silent stepping of bare feet along plantation paths is with them the approved method of locomotion. But to the town-bred darkey an ex cursion on the cars is a magnificent de light Oftentimes some country negro or some old uncle or aunty who has not gotton out of old before-the-war ways is overpersuaded by curiosity to take pas sage for a short round trip on the train.

Democratic and Mugwump organs that try to sneer down every rising factory wall, and to blow every mill door shut with free trade wind, are now sniveling about the Treasury Department's decis ion that skilled workmen for the tin plate industry can come into the United States to teach America's intelligent la borers how to make tin plate. Perhaps it is natural enough, after all ; for the organs don't want American workmen to make tin plate, and consequently don't want them to learn how to make it. But it is abominable hypocrisy for them to base their opposition to the coming of these professors of a new trade on the ground that "the McKinley bill in that respect does not protect American labor much." The McKinley bill docs protect Ameri can labor, and protects it very much, by that very tiling. The permanence of the protective duty on tin plate, and the permanence, therefore, of the industry itself, depends oa our producing it in a certain quantity before October I, IS:'?. If we learn how te do it and can produce enough of the best quality, the duty and the lindustry will etay ; if we don't, they won't. And how a workingman who doesn't know how to make tin plate can be displaced or hurt ky one who comes to teach him how to make it, is some thing that only a free trade intellect can imagine. And every sheet of tin plate that is finished, by either the foreign teacher or his American pupil, retires that much more rolled iron to be made by the rolling mills where American la bor is employed already, and that much more iron ore and coal to be mined. The free traders would like to see the rolling mills run on shorter time instead of on fuller time, as the tin plate duty makes them run. That is their notion of pro tecting labor. .V. '. Pre. He Knew It All. He was a farmers' Alliance advocate right out of the first furrow from the fence corner and it showed on him badly, but he did net think so at all. He had come to the hotel late in the evening and had repaired to his room at once. Half an hour later his bell rang and a boy answered it and he called for the clerk. When that accommodating necessity of hotel life appeared the guest inquired with great pomposity of manner : "What kind of a hotel do you call this, anyhow 7" We call it a good one, sir," answered the clerk, showing off a bit. "Well, I don'L" "Why not? What is the matter with it "I'll show you in a minute. Look there," pointing to the hand grenades in the rack on the wall. "Why ain't there a corkscrew with them bottles 7 Do you ' pose a gentleman opens a bottle with his pen-kniie or a nail when he wants a drink 7" "You're quite right," assented the clerk meekly. "It was an oversight and I'll go right down and send up one. I hope you'll excuse ns for putting you to so much trouble." "That's all rixht. young man," he said patronizingly, as the cierk started to go out ; "us people from the country may be green about some things, but we do know just a little about a hotel ought to be run. By the way," he went on, as the clerk was trying to get away, "I guess you had better send np a pair of snuffers for this gas, too. I notice you've got a sign up not to blow it out, and I ain't been able to find a pair of snuffers high or low." Then the clerk, promising many things went down stairs, sent up the corkscrew and the snuffers and left the oiiice in charge of a large, muscular night watch man with maps and diagrams of the aq uation up in Xo. 1".

An experienced man can tell at a glance from what part of the world a gold piece comes, and in some eases from what part of a particu lar gold district the metal was obtained. The Australian gnld, for instance, is distinctly redder than the Californian, and this difference in color is always per ceptible, even when the gold is 1,000 tine. Again, the g'M obtained from placers is yellower than that which is taken direct ly from quartz. Why this should be the case is one ef the mysteries of metallur gy, for the placer ail comes from the veins. The Ural gold is the reddest foudd anywhere. Few people know the real color of gold, as it is seldom seen unless heavily alloy ed, which renders it redder than when pure. The purest coins ever made were the J"0 pieces that used to be common in California. Their coinage was aban doned for two reasons; first, because the loss by abrasion was so great, and, sec ondly, becauss the interior would be bored &ut and lead substituted, the dif ference in weight being too small to be readily aoticed in so large a piece. These octagonal coins were the most valuable ever struck. A. 1. Tn'jnne. Hearing 13 Not Always Bsliev Ing. The Rev. Myron W. Kee.1, of Denver, is always awake to the realization of the comical in incidental life. He tells a story of a man who, while traveling in a parlor car between Omaha and Denver, fell asleep and snored with such intense volume that every one in the coach was seriously annoyed. Presently an old gentleman approached the sleeper, and, shaking him, brought him out of slum ber with a start. "What's the matter '." he exclaimed. "Why, your snoring is annoying every one in the car," replied the old gentle man. "How do yon know I'm snoring?" querried the source of the nuitnce. "Why, we can't help b'lt hear it." "Well, don't believe all yon hear," re plied the Btranger, and went to sieep again. Hood's Saisipariila has a steadily in creasing popularity, which can only be won by an article of real merit.

The particles are fi'.kd with water, and as a consequence are heavy, and there is not sufficient wash to the current of water which runs through the pipe to carry them off. The inside of all pipes is liable to become more or less sticky and greawy, and after a time the bits of sponge attach themselves to this adhesive lining and obstruct the free passage of water. "When pipes have become so filled up there is little to be done except to re move them and clean them thoroughly or put in new ones. Krong scJa, which is a favorite means of cleaning pipes, if put in, merely cuts the guiu and grease from the spongo fibres and allows them to swell all the more and may close the pipes altogether. Then there is no end of wonder as to what the difficulty can be. "If there is no plumber w itliia reach, the tet thing to do is to dissolve one can of pota-sh in a pail cf hot water. Then with a small dipper and a funnel pour the liquid do a tiie pipe from the bathtub. If it will not run through readily, wait a short time, and add the potash as fast as the pijxe will contain it. This will in a short time eat up the sponge, which will then gradually wash cut. "It is not well, however, to make gen eral use of such strong solutions.

A small girl a very small one who did nut shine particularly in the way of goodnetf, was attended by a nurse-maid who was a siaiple, honest, religious girl, always mindful of her duty; and this duty, she felt qjite sure, pointed to the reforming of the little heathen couiiuit ted to her charge. On Sunday afternixins she often t'X'k Miss Xellie to a meeting that was held in the basement of some place of wor ship, and the surroundings were very plain and doleful, but the preacher was an earnest man, and, to Hannah's great delight, her young lady listened to hurt with much attention. The words, "Now, my hearers, I w ill give you a little anecdote." were frequent ly used, and then would foiiow some in cident by way of illustration. Xellie al ways looked so expectant at this an nouncement, and listened with such earr attention to what folio'.vud, that Hannah's heart bounded for joy to find that the troublesome child was so seri ously impressed. Her eyes tilled with tears, and she failed to notsce the look of disappointment that spread itself over the small maiden's face after each anec dote. Finally the pent-up feeling came to the surface; and one afternoon as they were walking home Xellie indignantly exclaimed : "That man's an awful story-tclier, and I shan't go there any more." "Tut ! tut I" said the horrified I lannah ; "that's very wicked, Miss Xelile. What ever makes you talk so?" " 'Cause he is.
