Filks would 'ire!y think she was crazy. She stopped at the atone wall to rest and looked back timcruiuly at the old faoiil Ur scene. Far behind her stntehed the meadow, a sy-nphony of olive and jrreen in the late falL Here and there by a sunken bowlder stood soldierly yilden rod, or berry boshes clothed no La scai let and yild. At icti-TTais in the lonj slope stood )IiLtry trees, where flutter ing, brittle leaves fell in the gentle anil a:r. Ia suTSiner time she remembered well the haymakers in the shade, and the jig with ginger water siie made for tiie men was kept there to be cool. .'he seemed, as she sat there, remem ber everything. The bouse was all right, she was sure of that ; the key was under the kitchen door mat, the fire was out in the stove and the cat licked in the bai n. he held her work -hardened pal 21 to her side, panting a little, for it was axd bit of a walk across the meadow, and she was eighty yean old oa her !a.-t birthday. The cows feeding looked homelike anil pleasant. "Jood-by, critters,- she ai i aloud ; "many'a the time Eve druv' ye home an' milked ye, an' I alius let ye eat by the way, nor never harried y is the boys done." With a urtweil glance 9he went cn again, smoothing as she walked the scat tered locks of gray Lair tailing under the pumpkin hood, and keeping her scant black jfown out of reach cf briers. Across another field, then otT throcgh another lane where the wood was hauled In win ter, there through a ,rp in a stamp fence with its great, branching arms like a pet rided octopna, to the dusty highroad. Not a ul in 9-ight in the coming twi light. John, the children and the scold ing wife who made her so unhappy, would not be home for aa hour yet, tur it was a long drive to East Mills. Down the steep hill went the brave little figure, followed by an odd shadow of itself in the waning light, and by tiny stones that rolled so sifi!y they passed her often, and made ter look behind with a start to see if a pursuer was com ing. They'd pet rue ia an asylum, sure,' she oi armored wil.lly as she trudged along. At the foot of the hill she sat down under an old leg and waited for the train. Across the road, guarded by a big sign : "Look out for the engine," ran two paral lel iron rails, that were to be her road when the big monster should come pant ing around the curve. At last the dull rumble sounded, a shrill whistle, and she hurried to the track, waving her shawl to signaL This, in the conductor's ve-nacuiar, was a crostf-rofeis station, where he was used to watch for people waving articles frantic ally. The train stopped and this paesen zer was helped aboard. He noticed she was a bright-eyed old lady, very neat and precise. "How fur?" he asked. "Bostln." "Git therein the morning," he said, standing waiting for the money, as she opened a queer little reticule where, wrapped ia a c!en cotton handkerchief, under her knitting, was her purse with her savings f jr long years the little sums had sent when he first began to ptosper ia the west and some money she had earned herself by knitting and berry picking. Atacrors-rcaia, as the went swi!y on, she saw the old sorrel horse, the rat tling vjjra and John with his Jancily driving homeward. She drew back with a little cry, fearing he might see her and stop the train ; but they went on sc fast that could not be, and the old horse jog ged into the woodi, and John never thocght his old Aunt Hannah, his charge for twenty long years, was running away. At B ston a kindly conductor bought ner a through ticket (or Denver. "It's a lont; journey for aa old lady like you," he said, "Bat Em peart for my agf," she said, anxiously. "I never bed a day's sickness since I was a gal" "Going all the way alone ?" "With Providence," she answered, brightly, alert and eager to help her self, but silent and thoughtful aa the train took her into strange landscapes, where the miles went so swiftly it seem ed like the past years of her life aa she looked back on them. "Thy works is marvelous," she mur mured often, sitting with her hands bid ed, and few idle days had there been ia her world, where she had sat and rested for so long. Ia the day coach the people were kind and generous, sharing their baskets with her and seeing that she changed cars right and her carpet bag was safe. She was like any of the dear old grandmas ia eastern homes, or to grizzled men and weary women, Eke the memory of a dead mother as &int and far away as the scent of wild roses in a hilkide country bury ing ground. She tended babies tor tired women and talked to the men of farm ing and crops, or told the children Bible stories ; but never a word site said of her self, not one. On again, guided by kindly Lands set ESTABLISHED 1827. throngh the great, bewildrlag city by the lake, an 1 now through s yet strang er land. Tired and worn by night ia the uncomfortable seats, her brave spirit be gan to fall a little. As the wide, level plains, lonely and drear, dawned oa her sight, she sighed often. "It's a dre'ful big work'," she said to a gray-bearded old farmer near her ; "so big I feel e'enuMet lost in it; but," hope fully, "across them desertd Ilka this long ago Providence sent a star to guide them wise men of the East, aa' I ain't I.t my faith." Eut as the day wore on, and still the long, monotonous land showed no ha man habitation, no oasis of green, her eyes dimmed, something like a sob rose under the black 'kerchief on the bowed aliuulders, and the spectacles were taken otT with trembling hand and put away carefully ia the worn tin case. "Ee ye goin' fur, mother?" said the old farmer. He had brccght her a cupful of cotfee at the list station, and had pointed out on the way things he thought might ia tert her. "To Ienver.". "WaL wal ; you're from New England, III be bound T "From Maine," she answered, aad then she grew communicative, for she was always a chatty old lady, and she had possessed her soul in silence so long, aad it was a relief to te'.l the story of her weary years of waiting to a kindly listen er. She told him all the relations she bail were two grand-nephews and their fami lies. That twenty years ago Sam (for she had brought them both up when their parents died of consumption, that takes so many cf our folks' went out west. He was al ways adveuUirood, and fr ten years she dd net hear from him, but John was diferent and steady, and when he came of ag3 she had s'ivcn him her farm, with the provision she should always have a home, otherwise he would have gene away too. Weil, for live years they were happy, when John married. and his wife Lad grown to think her a burden as the years went on, and the children when they grew big 'Ed not care for her, and she felt she Lad lived too long. "I (trowed so' lonesome," she said, "it seenia I couldn't take up heart to live day by day.au' yit I kcowed our folks was long-lired. Ten years back, when Sam write me he was doia' fair, an' sent me money, I begun to think of hira, for he was alius generous an'ent me money, an' began to save to go to him, fur I kaowed I could work for my board fur a good many years to ci me. Eur three years he aia't hardly wrote, bat I laid that to the wild kfntry he lived ia, I said b'ars aa' Injuns don't sheer me none fur when I was a gal up in Arooatuk kentry there was plenty of both, an' as fur bederiers, them horned cattle don't skeer me none, fur Tve been used to a farm alius. But the lonesomenes of these medders has sorter cpsotme, an made me think every day Sam was furth er off than I evercaie'lated on." "But what will you do if Sam ain't ia Denver?" asked the farmer. "I hev put my faith in Providence," she answered simply, aud the stranger e mid not mar that trust by any word of warning. He gave her his address as he got oif at the Nebraska line, and told her to s-tnd him word if she needed help. v;h a warm hand clasp he parted from her to join the phantoms ia her memory of "folks that had bin kiad to her, God bless 'em," and the train went rambling on its way. But many of the paengers had list ened to her story and were interested and they came to s:t with hi r. One pale little lad in the seat ia front turned around to loo at her now and then and to answer her smile. He was going to the country for health and wealth, poor lad, only to aad eternal rest in the funny land, but his last day 's brightened by the reward of his thought ful act of kindness. "She probably brought these boys," he thought, " and denied her life for them. In she to die unrewarded, I wonder? There cannot be any good in the world if that be." He thought of her aad too out his poor perse ; there wai so little money ia it, t;w ; every eent made a big hoie in his store , but the consciousness cf a good de-l was worth something. "I mayn't have the chance to do many more," thought the lad, buttoning his worn overcoat. He slipped of wi.hout a word at a station and sent a telegram to Denver. "To Samuel E'air" for he had caught the name from her taik "Your Aunt Hannah Blair, of Maine, is on the W. i V. train coming to you." It was only a straw, but a kindly wind auight blow it to the right one alter all. When he was sitting there after t is message had gone on its way, ehe leaned over and handed hhn a peppermint drop from a package in her pocket. "Yea don't look strong, dearie," she said ; "hain't ye folks ith ye?" "None on earth." ."We're beta lone ones." she smiled. "An' how sad it be there ain't no one to fuss over ye an' be keerful of the drafts aa' keep flannel alius oa yourcbist ; that Is good for the lungs." "You are very kind to take an interest in me," he smiled, "but I am afraid it is too late." Another night of weary slumber in the uncomfortable, cramped seau, and the plains began to be dotted with vil lages, and soon appeared the straggling outskirts of a city, the smoke of mills, the gieaai of the Platte river, and a net work of iron rails, bright and shining, as the train ran shrieking into the laby rinth of its destination. This is Denver, and I'll look out fhr yea as well as I can ;" the lad said to her. "I won't be no burden," she said, brightly. "I have twenty dollars yet, and that's a sight of money." The train halted to let the east ward bound express pass ; there was an air cf excitement in the car, passengers getting ready to depart, gathering up luggage and w raps, and some watching the new comers and the rows of strange faces on the outward-bound train. The door of the car slammed sudden ly, and a big-bearded man. with eager blue eyes, came down the aisle, looking sharply from right to left. He had left Denver oa the express to meet this train. XT 11 AUGUST 17, 1892. His g'ance fell on the tiny black figure. "Why, A nnt Hannah r he cried, with a break in bis voice. She cut cut her trembling hands and fell into the big arms, tears streaming down the wrinkled face. "I knowed Providen.w would let me find you, Saaa," she sai 1 brokenly, and no one smiled when the big man sat down beside her and with a gentle hand wiped her tears away. "Why, I've sent John twenty dollars a mouth for hve years for you," he said aogrily, as she told him why ah ran away," aad he sai l yoa couldn't write foryoo had a stroke and was helpless, aad I've written to you oitea and sent you money. It's hard fir a man to call his own brother a villain." "We won't, Sam," she said, g?ntly. j "Well just forgit it. And I won't be a ! burden to ye far I kia work yit, aad fur years tj come." "Work indeed! Don't I owe you ev erything? Aud my wife has longed for you to come. There are so few dear old siuta in this country, they're prize-i, I tell you. Why, it is as good as a royal coat of anus to have a dear, handsome old woman like you for a relation." Then he fund out who sent the tele gram a:id paid the lad, who blushed like a girl and aid. act want to take it. "I suppose you want a job," said the big man. "Well, I caa give you one.

Who Ate Him ? It is said that for the purpose cf erett ini a suitable monument ia honor of F-ger Williams, the founder of Rhode Is laa his private buryin ground was searched f.r himself and wife. It was found that everything had passed in'.o obi i vioa. The shape of the co rfi a co'E d be traced only by a black line cf carbon aceous matter. The rusted hinges and nails aa 1 a round wooden knot remain ed in the one grave, while a single leck'of braid ed hair was fouad ia the other. Near the graves stood an apple tree. This had eat down two mala roots into j the vrry presence of the cotilaed dead. ! The Iargr root, pushing its way to the j precise pot occupied by the skuliof Rog- er Williams, had made a tuna as if pass ing around it, and followed the direction of the backbone to the hips. Here it di vided into two branches sending cne along each leg to the heel, where txvh turned cpward towarl the toes. One of these roots formed a slight crook at the knees, which made the whole tear a striking resemblance to the human fl-rm. There were the graves, but their occu pants had disappeared ; the bones even had vanished. There stood the thief the gudty apple tree caught ia the very art of robbery '. The organic matter, the flesh, the bones of Rger Williams had passed into an apple tree ! The elements had been absorbed by the roots, trans muted into woody fibre that could now be burned aa fuel or carved into orna ments ; had bloomed into fragrant dow ers that had delighted the eye of the paeeer-by and scattered the sweetest per fume of spring; more thaa that, had been converted into luscious fruit that, from year to year, had been gathered and eaten. Now, who ate Eoger Williams? Can yoa ted ? Apply Slacked Lima Plenti fully.

There was a time when the belief was almost universally current that sating anything before going to bed at -ight was dangerous and harmful. A feat many persons are of the ame opinion to-day, aad there are thousaaLj who would not under any cirjunstaru-es par take of fl j'tat before retiring for the night. The doctors, whatever they may have once thought ca the qntion, are changing their views, many cf theui at least. Ail living creatures, ex cept hu man beings, we believe, are governed In their actions by instinct, and this in stinct, mi et of us are willing to admit, is almost unerring, especially ia the orli aary events governing tneir existence. Is it not true that almost every creature that has a stomach eats before it sleeps, if food is accessible, aad sleeps soundiy thereafter? The human infant is no ex--eption. Its Jeinaad for food is con stant, and n.'ght makes no diierence. Deprive it of food beyond the regular pe riod, and the stomach w ill make a prompt appeal for relief. If a breakiltit is eateu :- o'oloc' in the morning by a person in ordinary health, midday will acala iia.I that per son ready and anxii.us for a lecond meaL A thirl will be called for at i o'clock ia the afternoon. A periyd of six hoars is all tiie time the average healthy stunach allows to pass ty without demanding sustenance. ib.Hiea t o'clock in the evening and o'clock ia the morn ing there is a period of twelve hoars. It is not denied that the work of digestion does nt 10 on, is more active, in fact, daring the night thaa during the ilay. The waste ia tissues g-.es oa with in creasing regularity every hoar ia the twenty-four. There can certainly be no harm in supplying that wat by nig"-.; as well a? by Jay.
