FEICHINO WATEH FROM THE WELL. ANONVMOUS. Early on a Sunday morning, while the lark was shiRlng sweet, Came, beyond the ancient farm-house,sounds of lightly tripping feet. 'Twasalowly cottage maiden going, wliy, let young hearts tell, Willi lier homely pitcher laden, fetching wa tcr from the well. Shadows lay athwart the pathway, all along tlio quiet lane. And the breezes of the morning moved them to and fro iigaln. O'crlho sunshine, o'er the shadow, passed the maldi'ii of tlio farm. Willi a charmed heart within her. thinking vi no in nor Harm. Pleaiant, surely, weru lier musings, for the noild lug leaves In vain Sought to press their briglifnlng Image on lier ever-busy brain. Leaves nnd Joyous birds went by her. like n dim, haif-waklnp dream; And her- soul was only conscious of life's gladdest summer gleam. At the eld lane's shady turning lay a well of wilier briclit. Singing, soft, Its' halleluiah to the gracious morning iigbt. tern leaves, bread and green, bent o'er It where Its sllv'ry droplets fell. Anil the fairies dwelt beside lt.ln the spotted roxgiovo bell. Hack sue bent the shading fern-leaves, dept tne pucner in the tide, Drew It.wlth the dripping waters flowing o'er its glared side. But before her arm could place It on her , shlnv-AvaiV-halr., z ' By her Side a youth was standlngl-I.ovo re joiced to see the pair!

J.ate one evening a group of young men had the sniuUlng-rnomof the llleii- helm eJuu lo themselves. They sat In a circlo ruimd the blazing fire, chatting, laughing, dialling one another, and bandying jests. At length, during momentary pause, one of the party who was lounging In an cusy-chalr with his legs dangling over one of the arms, and ills hat tilted over his eyes, idly took up a newspaper which was at hand, and read out from the agony column the following adveitlscincnt: "Jack. Meet mo at the Marble Arch to-morrow, Tuesday, nt u n clock p. in. It Is tho last favor I shall ever ask. Coino If you love me. Maooie." Tliere was a sneer on the face of the reader, and the announcement caused laughter among his audience. Onuof the young men turned to another, nnd said, Jokingly: "Jack, you base deceiver! It's your utile tniuiner friend. You've behaved shockingly, and It's your duty to go." "Bosh!" returned Jack Canister, sip ping tranquilly at his tumbler. "She has consoled herself long ago. Besides, Maggie Isn't .her name." "I should like to know whether this advertisement Is genuine or not," said one of the youngest of the party, pos sessing himself of tho newspaper. "It would be rather fun to Investigate It. I'll go If any one else will." "What's the good?" growled Jack Canister, contemptuously. The youngster who had suggested the expedition was a newly-elected member of the club, who, even In his novitiate, had contrived to establish a reputation for flirtation, of which he was immense ly proud. He vns universally liked on account of his amiable disposition and his boyish frankness, and though he fondly imagined that ho had attained the dignity of a wan of the world, he was really regarded as Tin honest, foolish young fellow who w ould soon sober j down Into a dignified membcrof society. i hen the next evening arrived, and ,....s iuureion, wno was still deter- .uiiieu to c rry out nis investigation, J foun J that i:o.ie of his friends were dla- I . 1 1 . .... i INDEPENDENT" LEHIGHTON, CARBON COUNTY, posed to fulfill (.heir promise of accom- jinuying nun, iiu sinncu uu iu me irysuug-piace aione in a uansoui, nnu arrived there exactly at the appointed hour. 4 It had been a thoroughly wet day,and the rain had ceased so recently that the MVOHinnl. ,i.M.ltll r 1. I I ,wr t li t-.i f.m there we're, very few poopte about. Thurston lit a cigarette, mentally decided not to waste "more than five ; minutes. and then began to look leisurely about hlui. - ' . . 4 As ho did so, he became conscious of the flguro of a woman standing close against the railings, watching hhn In tently. She advanced straight up to him as his glance met hcrs.and accosted him. "Are you Jack?" she inquired, ab ruptly. "Yes," replied Thurston, recklessly. They were standing beneath a street lamp. the light from which fell full upon his face, while hers was In shadow. He could see, however, that she was a young lady.qulctly and decently dressed. She scrutinized hhn for a few minutes In silence, during which Thurston, un able to control his habit of of blushing, turned uncomfortably red. "Maggie?" he murmured Interrogat ively, Instinctively guessing that he was some oilier person. "Maggie can not-come," said the young woman shortly. "I am her sister Helen. Follow me." Thurston, completely taken aback by this peremptory request, and hardly realizing what had happened, followed his companion without a word. He was naturally disconcerted by this unexpect ed turn of events. He had never de signed to personate "Jack;"hls response to tbe girl's question had come almost Involuntarily to his lips. But having once done, so, he resolved to wait and see what would happen, Impelled by an adventurous sphlt and the desire of having a good story to relate at the club. The girl silently led the way along the Edgvvare road. She walked quickly, with her head bent; but the brilliantly lighted shops revealed that she was deadly pale. After walking several minutes without a word.Thurston began to feel embarrassed, and ho attempted to utter some phrase of boyish gallantry. At the first word, however, the gitl stopped him. "Dou't speak to me," she said, In a voice trembling with suppressed emo tion. Young Thurston was so disconcerted that ho had serious thoughts of disap pearing down a side street. Qne thing only was quite clcamo' hlmr-and that was that the adventure he had embarked upon was very different from anything he had vaguely anticipated. Th gill's appeaiance and mannner precluded all suspicion of lightness of character. Her demeanor, indeed, Impressed hlui with a feeling of solemnity. Ho cudd not for the life of him bring himself to ex plain that he was not the person he had pretended. Youthful arkviardness and a sense of shame kept him jdlcnt. At length his guide turned ajlde Into a mean narrow street, and stopped be fore one of the poorest houscs.j Thurs ton, unfamiliar with the habitations of I lie poor, forgot his embarraf ment In uncomfortable wonder and disliust. v At the top of the highest flbht the highest stotv, In fact the clrl'lald her hand upon the handle of a doorway.and men paused.

The girl conducted hint Into a small. miserably furnlshed.'rooni, with a slop ing rooi. une end of it was partitioned nit with a curtain. Thurston, starfng abou; him curiously, had baiels'tlino to notice these details before his compan ion, advancing to the curtain drew It aside. "Look here!" she said 'I hurston started, and then, with an involuntary exclamation, took a step oacKwaru; tor tncte, upon a narrow bed, lay what he first luiagiuedfto be a waxen figure. It was the dead body of young gin. a clilld, almost, w th delicate features and masses of golden hair, w hich streamed upon the pillow .. .1 i. - ., 1 1 .... .m vivi lt siiuuiuers. t ne poor creature's remains had evidently been arranged with a view to plcturcsntte effect. The thin, waxen hands wi-re folded upon her breast, which bore a cross of flowers. Tho tableau a trifle morbid and theatrical, perhaps, was nevcrtliclcss strikingly beautiful and touching. Poor young Thurston was appalled and horrified? lie, was but a Ltd. and had never yet seen a dead person. The sublime serenity of death-sleep was never more impressively manifest than in the motionless faeo of this dead girl. He gazed with a sort of terrified fiscln- atlon, and the spectacle, combined with tho painful shock of surprise, made him turn white and faint. ., His companion the girl Helen'-iy meanwhile stood gazing at him with an expression of relentless severity. The yelns In her hand, which clutched to the curtain, stood out, blue and livid, and her eyes glared speechless indigna tion. That Is why Maggie could not come," she said at length, 'slowly. "She Is dead, as you see. Jt was by her wish that I brought you here. She would not tell me your name and ad dress, but made me advertise as the di rected." Thurston opened his lips to eptak.but could pot find words to confess his thoughtless frivolity at such a nioment. "She told me to tell jou," continued the girl, "that she loved you and for- gave you, lour letters are here, next her heart; the ii-LV,,l th. i. wi. M .W "V with her."

"Unless yott would like to to kiss" ' "No, no," Interrupted Thurston, In a ivlilspcr. I don t think the worse of you for that," said the girl, dropping the cur tain, with an air of relief; "of all lips, yours arc. most unworthy to touch her angel face. But she bade me ask you." She turned aside as she siio'ke, and Thurston began to edge towards the door. "I promised that I would not re proach you," said the girl, not attempt ing to hinder hlui, "but It was a cruel, heartless crime. We were ajonc, sho and I my baby sister. Times vvete bad, and I had to leavo hcr'for a little while. I thought she was safe, but you came by you, a fine, rich gentleman. Y'ott plucked my poor flower, and then flung It aside. God forgive you." Thurston, who was at heart an hon est young fellow, was easily moved to genuine emotion. Innocent as ho was of this deplorable affair, ho was never theless simple and pure-minded enough to. feel generous shame at tho wrong that had been done. This, and unaf fected sympathy for the gtlef and deso lation of the elder sister, caused his blue eyes to grow dim with tears, which the girl noted. "Sho hoped you would go to her fun eral," she ndded in a softer tone, men tioning the time and place, "and put some flowers on her grave." Thurston bovved his head and left the room. He reached the street in a pain fully agitated and bewildered state of mind, and walked blindly back towards clubland. But he did not return to his club to tell the story. lie turned aside into Hyde Park, and wnlkcd aimlessly and absently westward aetoss the open space, baring his head to the fresh night breezes. It is needless tb speculate What depths of tho young man's soul had been stirred by tills ttagle episode. It takes very little sometimes a falling leaf, a chance word to suggest serious and wholesome reflections. Thurston's cogltatlons.whatever their nature, kept him abroad till far Into the night, and when he icturued to his chambers ho suddenly remembered the letter which Jljepoorjjtrl lituj handed him. He drew the letter from the en velope, and a single glance at the hand- writing sulllced to reveal to him what lie wished to know. The handwriting was unmistakably that of Maugrave Vernon, the man of all others whose farcer and reputation he had most en vied. This discovery jarred unpleasantly upon young Thurston's fcellnss. Most people w ould have been less surprised than he at such a revelation. Mr. Man grave Vernon was a man of fashion, a man of pleasure a social butterfly, In fact, agreeable, witty, polished and eagerly sought alter by women and youngsters. Hut there was a seamy sido to his character, which shrewd persons suspected, and .knowing ones had long ago found otit. He had treated Thurston with consideration, for the fellow was rich and well connected, and therefore the lad, admiring his t'azzllng qualities, had secretly worshiped him and made him his idol, Even in his present rather severe mood Thurston was disposed to make every excuse for his friend's conduct, There had been a misunderstanding, no doubt, he could, probably, give a differ ent complexion to tlm affair. At all events, Thurston resolved to give Iiiui the opportunity, if only In the hope of being able to retain his regard for him. Accordingly, the young man sealed up the envelope, and pext day he-took Mangravo Vernon aside at the club and handed It tn him. "What's this?" exclaimed, Mr. Ver non, putting up his oye-glass. "A let ter?" "You had better look at it," said Thurston, gravely, "Hy Jove! My last letter to little Maggie, written months ago," exclaimed the other, reddening slightly. "How did you get hold of It?" "Tell me, Vernon, Is the poor girl's story true?" said Thurston. "I never contradict a lady especially If she be pretty; and little 'Maggie was devilish pretty," said Vernon, lightly, but looking rather uncomfortable never theless. "I don't know what her story Is. She Is not going to be troublesome, I hope especially just now.. It, as 1 gather, you are interested In the young lady" "She Is dead." Interrupted young Thurston sharply. "Dead. Is sho? Il'cll, that's lu I (mean poor girl. Sad, of course, very isad," said Mr. Vernon, endeavoring to look concerned, but roanlfeslly relieved. "That being so, I don't mind confes sing that any little unpleasantness with a lady, just as I nm seriously courting a liundred-thousand-pottnd heiress. "Is that all you have to say?" ejacu lated young- Thurston, beginning to breathe quickly. 4 "Yes, except to advise you, my dear boy, as a friend, not to allow yourself to be mixed up in affairs of this sort," said Mr. Vernon in his most cenlal tones. Vernon, I believe you are a villain!" cried thejoung man, losing his self. control, and looked decidedly dancer- 0113. "For heaven's sake don't make a fool ! of yourself I" exclaimed Mr. Vernon, ) nasiuy rising from his lounging attitude, i 11 uai. vile For tome unspoken reason, Mr Ycr tjdUnj! flnhh his tenteace.

This re- flection probably occurred to the elder man, and yomiir Thurston's attitude was certainly aggressive. Mr. Vernon .. .. . . .1 . ratner prided iiimselt upon his dlscre. Hon, and he manifested It on this ocia- slon by slinking out of the room with out seeking to prolong the Interview. Young Thurston, quite unnecessarily, as It tinned out, sent a note to Mr. Ver non, stating where he was to be found llext day, and adding that on the day after he proposed to leave England, possibly for a long period. Meanwhile, on the morrow, he was a spectator of a sail little funeral In a dreary London cemetery. Tliere was only one mourner a poor young girl, who appeared to much overwhelmed with grief to notice him. Young Thurston lingered, in rather a shamefaced, embarrassed way, among the tombstones at a little dis tance, until the mourner, at the con clusion of the short service, looked up at htni. Then ho came forwatd, an I cast a a wreath of white flowers Into the grave. "I believe my angel was right, and that you really loved her," murmured the poor mom ncr us she passed him.

Detrimental food which, by reason of their supcrlorstrength, may notserlous ly affect the health of adults, as Is well known, frequently acts upon the more delicate organs of the child to produce iiisoruers or mo most serious character. The amount of laudanum or other Dob son that would be harmless to an adult will cause the death of an Infant. This great difference between the vitality of adults and children is too generally overlooked In the preparation of food. Because no harm Immediately preeept- iiuc comes 10 uie aumt uy tne use of an article of food, no thought is given to me cueet ic may nave upon the more delicate organs of Inferior aire. Children diet lareelv unon cake and bread, and these articles. If Unlit, sweet and composed of materials that are free from injurious substances, aro easily di gested, nutritious ami wholesome, I here is a danger to our children, how. ever, lurking in their bread aud cake which Is too often lost sight of. These articles are now leavened largely by bak Ing powders, and when pure and whole some baking powders are used they make not only tne most palatable food, but one much more wholesome and nu tritive than if leavened with yeast or cream of tartar and soda. The trouble arises from the fact as shown by recent scienuuc tesis oy me uovcrnnicnt chem ists and official boards of health, that all these baklnz powders, with the simile exception of the .lloyal, contain either unie, aium, puospnales, or acids or an Injurious character. Therefoio when broad or cake is made with the use of these cheap baking powders these in gredients (winch are present through me ciions or me mauuiaeturcr to pro duce a cheap article) nass into the food and ate taken Into tho delicate organs of childhood where they aro Hie source of very much of the disease with which our culldren are ahileted. Persons who have not strong consti tutions, crowlnir clrh. vounc children. nnd nursing mothers are particularly uauie to cue evil citecis produced oy the Introduction of the adulterants named as fdund In the cheap baking powders. licartDurn anu tne prevalent forms or indigestion are often solely traceable to the action of alum on tho delicate coats of the stomach. Trof. Willard Paiker, U. S. Surgeon-General Hammond. Prof. Alouzo Clark, most eminent nhvslclans of New York, with scores of others. have written and spoken most earnestly of the evils arising from partaking of such food. There should be as much care in the choice of baking powders as in obtaining pure milk or In having a prescription compounded from pure drugs nnd not from poisons. The matter is one of the greatest im portance, particularly to the rising gen eration, and while our conservative law makers are making up their minds as to the proper legislation to stop tho sale of the poisonous compounds, mothers will do woll to study It carefully. The housekeeper will experience no incon venience in discarding the use of the adulterated baking powder. If she has been using it. as the Itoyal Baking Pow der upon tho purity and wholesomencss of which all the Government chemists agree, is equally accessablo; hut she will need to exercise a close watch upon her packages from tho grocer In order to prevent the inferior brands from creep ing Into her kitchen unawares.
