An Agrecnble Story of n Cnso of Very
Sensitive Conscience.
rrom the Cleveland Plain-Dealer.
Forty j'ears ago a certain Clevelnnd
family lived on Huron street, close to
the coiner of Miami. Huron stieet wad
a leading thoioughfare then, and a
number of prominent Clovelandeis re
sided In the neighborhood. Th6 lady
of the house was a young bride, and
she and her husband had arrived In
Cleveland quite recently. On -Miami
street lived a famtlvv'n very moderate
circumstances, and among the numer
ous children that filled the tlnv house
wa a boy called Johnny. He wai a
blight, manly little fellow of peihaps
8 j'ears, nnd the Huron street bildf
took quite a fancj lo him. Ho would
come to her home every day and do her
simple ei rands, and she alwavn had
something nice to give him One day
he was playing In fioht of the brldo's
homo with some other boys, when he
chanced to throw a stone that missed
Its mark and crashed through a jiarlor
window. Th'd bride, happened lo see
the accident, and ns the little fellow
looked up and saw her an njonlzed ex
prsrIon clouded his late nnd ho turned
ind took to his heels. He never camo
again to the Huron stieet house. Look
a sha might the biide caught sight of
him no moie A few weeks later
Johnny's family left tth'o tltj", and
Jihnny was soon only faint munoiv.
The bride Is now a grandmother and
lU'es In a handsome bouse In the sub
til ba. One daj not long ago the maid
brought hei a callei's card. It bore
the name of "John Robinson." She
looked at It with a puzzled Mr. Sho
had no acquaintance of that nime.
Put she went downstairs and con
fionted a fine looking, portly gentle
mtn, well dressed and beating un un
mtstnkable air of prospcrltj.
He advanced to meet her.
"You wished to ice me'!" Inqulrnl the
ludy ns she looked again at the card.
"Yes, madam,' ho answeitd, "en a
slight matter of business," ,
Sho looked up at him eiulckly and
dtew back a little.
"No," hi smilingly observed, "I am
not an aaout. The fact ls, madam, I
lrive culled to paj a debt that has been
accumulating inteiesr all these j'tuis,
and which I have neglected to pay bo
foie, because I have never slnco been
In the neighborhood " v
"A debt?" echoed tho ladj. "Theie
must be some mistake"
"No mistake at ull, madam," said the
strangei, cheerily, and he reached his
hand )n his pocket. There wns a gold
coin In It as he drew It forth, "Theie,
mudnm," hi said, "I want to pay you
for the w Indow I broke In your house
on Huion stteet one July day In ll57."
Then It all came back to her,
"And you vou are Johnny?'' she
cried.
"Yen. madam," he annuel ed, "I'm
Johnny." And their bunds met In a
tight clasp,
"And you jeniembtfied that little ac
cident all these many years?" she said.
"Why, I had forgotten It long ago."
"Poihaps 1 had hotter cause to re
member It," he smilingly flald. "It wan
a dreadful affair to me. I saw the Jail
door opening, I heard the clank of
chains. Then I somehow felt sure that
you would come and tell my father,
nnd lie was not a gentle man, as you
may lemember. But ns hour followed
hour and you did not come I begun to
breathe a little ngnln, nnd, oh, you
cannot tell how grateful I wns to you.
1 did not dale go and see you for fear
of poslble conscqliences, but when we
went nwnj' I made up mv mlijd that
some dny I would pay eveiy penny It
coat to mend thntbroken pane. And
here I am."
The lady looked at hlin with glisten
ing eyes. Somehow she seemed to see
ngaln the tlieless, manlv little hoy of
that long-ivgo time.
"And jou have piosperedV" she
asked.
"Yes," he answeted smilingly, "I'm
reckoned one of the solid men of Cali
fornia, I live Just outside of San
Fianclco, hnve what I nm told Is a
charming home, a bcnutlful wife, nnd
two fine boys' In the tinlveislty. And
when I have this little debt paid I
shall possess a thoroughly clear con
science as well."
"Put away your money John," said
the woman. "It's worth a hundied
times that to see you so well nnd
happy "
"I found out about you bpforc I came
out bete," said John. "I Inquhed with
some fear and trembling fotty yeais
bring ninny changes, you know. But
I went direct to the foimtalnhcad for
Information. I hunted up your hus
band nt his ofllce I had a letter of In
tioductlon from tho piesldent of our
load and we wcte soon gleat friends.
Bless jou, he had never heard ot
Johnny Robinson, but that didn't
make any dlffeiente In fact, he asked
me to dine and promised to be home
early."
When John Robinson left the house
the next nioinlng his staj In the city
was shoitened bj pressing business
he loft behind him on the pallor man
tel a box containing n dainty orna

"My wife picked out a little gift with

"Tho doctoi does not seem able to

common complaint of the catairh pa

seems that the doctor failed to help
them, hence they resort to other ieme
dles. Kail Arnold, of Altdoif, Wis.,
writes: "I suffeicd a gient deal with
