Twenty-five years ugo there was a romance- at Maysvillo -a lovo btnry In which there was nothing out of the rdliury. It was like hundreds of oth ers, and th"i did not then appear to ne a possibility that It would become remarkuble. It became known there tint two young people, who will be culled John Smith and Mary Jones, w re encaged to bo married. John Smith hid been paying attentions to the yiung lady about two years, and tl t announcement oC their engagement Old not cause any surprise. Tin wedding clay was set, and nearly all the prepatatlons hud been mills. v hen the mother of the brldo-tn-bo 1 eiamp ill. On account of her illness the marriage had to be postponed. In a short time it became apparent that her mind was Impaired, and still a lit tle later the terrible truth forced itself on the minds of her friends the moth er of Mary Jones was Insane. Ar rangements were mado to send her to the asylum, and It was then that her daughter raised objections. She would not huve her mother t-ent to the asylum at all, and declared that she would de vote her life to taking ciro of her. When she rrado that vow Mary Jones was 18 years old, . blight, Intelligent young woman, handsome and talented. In addition to that, she was engaged to be married to one of the best young men in the county a young man of wealth and refinement, to whom she had made a folemn promise Her fath er owned u largo tract of land and a line house. He was amply able to em ploy a nurse for the demented woman us long as she might live, ind to his mind there was no reason why his daughter should not marry after a rea sonable length of time. Therj was a reason, however the strong sense of duty the daughter had and her resolve that she would never leave her mother while she lived. She triumphed over the arguments of her friends, and settled down to a life In which there appeared to be llttlo hope, except tho reward for filial dut. She put aside ull thoughts of the llfo she had contomplated, nnd from that day she ha been her mother's loving and devoted attendant. The mother's mind Is a total wreck. She Is not violent, but her mind Is gone, and she must have constant caro and attention. Twenty-five years have passed since she- became demented, and during that time her daughter has not boon uway from her a single day. Twenty-five years ago John Smith used to call every Sunday night at the home of Mary Jones. Thiy sat on tho cool front porch during tho summer, and by the fireside In winter. Then they planned their future the happy llfo they were to live after they were married. John Smith still makes the Sunday night visits as regularly as in the olden lime. If he should miss one Sunday night It would be understood nt once that he was HI, or that some other good and hiilllclent cause had prevented him from being there on time. Ills hair Is gray, and there are wrinkles In his face. The girl ho expected to claim as his bride Is an old maid now, and her once bright eyes ore beginning to lose the lustre of youth, but she is still iirm in her determination to remain with her mother as long as her mother lives. The engagem nt has never been J biol-.en. The young man said he would wult until her task at home was over, I and he has waited. The years seem j long to him, but he is true. If he grows Impatient, the patient face of tho woman whose devotion Is more lh:in remarkable Is enough to make him ashamed of his Impatience. It is said to his credit that he has never made the Slightest e 'ort to persuade the daughter to leave her mother. Stories like this nre often told in books, but this Is one In real life. Pcnn avenue shops are busy making twelve large printing presses for the Campbell Press company, of New York city. Tho Columbia Lamp company, a West Seranton Industry, of which Hughes Hrothers are the proprietors, made the brass balustrades and other furnishings for tho new McCann store, on North Main avenue.
