THE OLD CEDJIB CHEST, I had not returned to my old home since the death of my parents, many years liefore the summer of which I write. That summer, as will be seen, a IKiwcrful influence drew me thence, from the activities of business. My uncle, who had taken charge of the place when my father died, received me cordially at the spacious, old-fashioned farm house. "Kalph," he said, as we sm.iked on the wide orch after stiptHT. "you will have a companion during your visit." "A companion ! Who?" " Jrace Northbrook." -(Jrace," I cried, in astonishment "Yes, she will come to-morrow at the same time you came to-day," he re plied, rising. "I am going to the barn now. I hope you and she will find it agreeable to renew your old acquaint ance." "(race coming here," I said to my self after lie had gone. "What d.Hs it mean?" Striving for an explanation, I naturally fell to calling up the cir cumstances which caused my astonish ment. The Xorthbr.n.ks had in the old days owned the farm adjoining ours, and the families had tieeii intimate. (J race licing an only child, and I the same, a jieculiariy close friendship sprang up between us. We were inseparable playmates, and it easily came to lie the wisli and intention of our parents, so far a they could direct events that we should marry. Hut conditions chang ed. My father and mother died, and I S4HH1 left home; and when I learned afterward that Mr. Northbrook, mov ed by ambition, had sold his farm and gone to Xew York lo live, my belief was that (Jrace ami I were finally sepa rated. Having lieen young when I left home, and whatever Uyis'i liking I had for littleOrace Northbrook licing quickly ground into forget fulness by business strife, the severing of our youthful engagement caused little re gret. Hut one evening after I had taken up my residence in New York, I met her again at a friend's home. Our surprise and pleasure were mutual. Walking together on the broad piazza of my friend'a house, I soon found that her temperament had brightened in stead of dimmed. In the daring way that is so easily excused in merry peo she lightly called up our old engage ment. I met her in the same spirit, and we had a hearty laugh over the declara tions and promises, out cnariiKsi oy her mature lieauty, I even then, had a misgiving that, w ith ine, this spirit would noon settle into seriousness. A few moments after our promenade end ed, I saw her in company with Mr. Frederick Adlow the son of a wealthy hanker, and in the happiness - ai-a i face, and the devotion of the young man, 1 found the reason for the amuse ment over our childish love-making, and her freedom in epeaking of it. I met her frequently after that and our chief topic was youthful attach ment She took iiartieular delight in jesting aliout it in ner naii-reckiess, light-hearted way, and seemed to think equally delightful to me. Hut, though I joined in her mirth, the effort w as great each time and I realized that the boyish liking I had had for her as a little girl had risen into a man's love for the beautiful, sweet hearted woman into whom slie had grown. I saw, to, with growing concern, that, in the joy of her love for Adlow, she was perfect ly innocent of even a possibility of seri ousness on my part; and, wishing mop. every day, as I did, for a revival of our childhood engagement, the danger into which we were drifting grew plainer. We were setting up a barrier of mirth, w hich I feared, would lie difficult to overthrow. At last I felt that I could no longer endure the jesting upon w hat had be come sacred to me, and, shrinking from the possibility of her amused sur prise at a revelation of my love, I de termined to go away. This determin ation was fixed one evening w hen (Jrace came to me with the announcement that she had been authorized to invite me to aeeomieuiy a party to sjiend two weeks at Iong Hranch. She mention ed the names, concluding with Ad low's. The prospect of seeing their joy day after day at the beach, showed me that it would be far from a pleasure trip to me, and that I must decline. I did so assigning business reasons. She loaked at me oddly, half wonderingly, and she was so lovely in her party dress that I would have thrown our jesting aside and told her niy love then and there in the quiet comer liehind the people who were watching the dan cers, but Mr. Adlow came up and claim ed her for the waltz. She left me with a merry glance over her shoulder and set ESTVTTTSIIED 1827. WEDNESDAY, NO a joking entreaty for her "littte-old-time lover" to change his mind. Not many days after, I made an excuse that took me from New York, and I went as I have stated, to visit my old home. "And now," I said to myself,; while sitting alone on the farm porclt, "she coming here? What has changed her plans? The party was to be at Long Hranch by this time. I cannot under stand it." The next day was rainy, aud I spent it roaming over the old house to solve the puzzle of (irace'a coming. Of course, she could not know thai I w-as there, because I had kept my it-stina-tiou a secret, and because, hid she known it she would not have opmc. I felt that I could not long remain with her among the pleasant st-ciiei of our childhood without telling my 1tc, and the relations w hich she and Adlw sus tained toward each other forbaile such a declaration. In the old farmhouse was which had irresistibly attracte a Uy. It was a lonir narrow o im nt, in which were preserved levt-rul ancient pieces of furniture, souk curi ous prints, quaint records inadcjhy my grandfather while he had lieen a Squire and many other interesting rclicb. One of the pieces of furniture wasp large cedar chest, which had lieen, in my childish eyes, a veritable casket Of won ders. Often had little (iracejandl played in this room, and revelol in the curiosities of the chest, which embrac ed several old-fashioned playthings, a coat inj' great-grandfather wore in an Indian fight, w ith a bullet hole in its sleeve, a number of arrow heads, sev eral moccasins, a tomahawk, some camp utensils, and four queer, little, half constructed inventions at which my grandfather had worked. Much of that long gloomy day, so filled with my heart's perplexity, I strove to occupy by re-exploring this curiosity chamber, and once again examining the contents of the tild chest ; and I discovered that my interest in it, though of a different kind, was as strong as it had been In my boyhood. At train time I easily jicrsiiaded Un cle John to let me drive alone to the station. ( race came, and her surprise on seeing me was unbounded. "Why, what are you doing here, Kalph?" she asked, walking toward the carriage. "ilustieating," I replied, evasively, as I helped her in. After I had started the horse, I turn ed to her and asked solierly : "What has brought you here, Grace? I thought you were in Long Hranch." "Excuse me Kalph," she answered with a confusion which I pretended not to notice, "hat I don't wish to tell you at least not now." "Very well," I said, "I won't ask you, but I will leave to-morrow j I can not stay with you I" I stopped the ennfesdon, and she looked up at me in that same odd, questioning way. "Why not ?" she asked, after a short silence, and regaining her jesting ton a with an effort, "I am sure it will be very amusing to run alm-at our old play grounds. We have lieen unexpectedly thrown together here and might enjoy recalling some of our foolishness. I don't see why you want to run away." Her merriment and Adlow's relation ship to her in-!;? it impossible for me to give my true reason, bat it was well the rain brought darkness early, for my fav would also have liet rayed tin mucli emotion. I was silent a moment, and then said : "I'll tell you why, (Jrace. I don't think it is just to Mr. Adlow. Every one knows how attentive he has lieen to you, and, although your engagement has not lieen announced, we have rea son to believe it soon will lie. I resjK-ct Mr. Adlow and will not remain." "Still the same careful boy you al ways were," she answered, laughingly. "Don't Imther alniut Mr. Adlow. If I cIkmisc to roam once more through these licloved scenes with such an old friend as you, he should not object. Now, you will stay until I say you shall go, won't you?" She looked at me with such an ap-IH-al that I readily yielded. Days passed, blissful days, and Grace was adorable. I loved her more and more, and saw more clearly that for the nl.. l.f ttt.T fllllir.. Il.lllllill.i-ll f ullfllllll f ' ' . tr inf f I'UV PIIV T HIV twmi ... still so unconscious of my true feeling that I remained, and, fearing to cloud her pleasure, feigned equal gayety. Si surely, though, as the days were pass ing, I felt that my restraint could not last long. "Grace, I must go away. You have not told me vet to uo. but I must We have lieen as candid aud frank as true friends should be, but there is one point we must meet If you are en gaged to Mr. Adlow, I must leave at nice. Tell me plainly." She kept a steady look at me during the words, wearing the odd expression I hail before noticed, but more inteii-e I had schooh-d myself for the ordeal and had assumed the half-bantering tone in which we had always talked. Hut she was now soluT, and, after drooping her head and walking on a short distance, she answered: "You are right, Ralph. I have kept vou here and you are entitled to know. Just liefore the party started for Long Hranch Mr. Adlow a-ked me to be his wife. I had thought I loved him, but when he a.ked me I felt that I was not sure. I knew that if I should go with the party I could not give his proposal the serious thought that it deserved, so I came down here, never expecting to find you; and I have been thinking seriou-ly, though you may not believe it To-morrow is the day I promised Mr. Adlow to let him know. Flease don't think me unwomanly in telling you this. Our relations have lieen un usual, because of those old, those tlear old times, and I feel toward you almost as I would toward toward a brother." "And atu I entitled to know how you will answer?" I asked, with a thrill of hope, for, it was the first time I hud heard her speak tenderly of the "old time." Again she east that strange, penetra ting look at me, and replied: "I will w rite to him to-morrow, and I will tell you how I have decided in the evening." Alt next day Grace kept her room, a room tl me as in part- VE IMBER 13, 1895. and I strolled alone. Her action puz zled me greatly. Why had she not ac cepted Adlow at once? Had she learn ed something which made marriage with him undesirable? Sometimes I felt that I had lieen weak in not de claring my love in spite of Adlow, but I could not make myself lielieve that she was anything but in fun in our rela tions. I roamed far and wide without seeing (Jrace again. I could not face the ordeal of hearing that she had ac cepted Adlow, and if she should tell me of a refusal, I feared that she would meet lightly the confession that her boyish lover was her lovcf still in man hood. I was weak cowardly but could not help it Late in the afternoon I hurried back to the house. Finding my uncle, I told him, untruthfully, but excusably, perhaH, that I was called away by business, aud asked him to bid Grace good bye for me. He was a man of few words, and assented without com ment. I had previously obtained his permission to take some articles from the old chest as a momeiito, and I now hurried up to the room to select one. I sat down ujmiii the chest, fighting my desire to call Grace from her rsm, to tell her that our laughter over the old times had, with me, changed to love, and to liescech her not to marry Adlow. Hut I conquered. Grace was tio noble, too just, to accept anyone, even though she might love him, in this underhand way. I raised the lid of the chest and re moved the blanket used as a cover, when my eyes caught sight of an arti cle which hail not lieen there In-fore. It was a letter, newly addressed and stamped. I took it up curiously and instantly was thrown into perplexity. It was in Grace'swritingaud addressed to Adlow the letter giving him her decision. I plainly saw how it hap pened. Having written her accept ance as I believed it to lie, she had come into this room to look through the chest, which had lieen as interest ing to her as to me, and had accident ally left the letter there. It was un sealed, and I sUmkI still, crushing back with violent self-scorn a wild tempta tion to detain it. I took a step toward the door, with intent to call Grace, when I heard heavy footsteps coming. She came in, and found me with the unsealed letter in my hand. S'.ie paus ed in sudden confusion, and I, distrac ted by the natural suspicion to which the unsealed letter exposed me, could only say "Here is your letter, (Jrace." "I lave you read it?" she said quickly a question she would not have asked but for her confusion. "(Jrace," I said reproachfully. "Please forgive me." she cried, tak ing it from me. "Of course you have not, I left it here by mistake." "And I have just found it. If you will send it 1 will mail it as I go to the train. I am called away on business. Mr. Adlow will lie here soon." She had raised the envelope to her lips, but now stopped and looked at me in that same jieeuliar manner. "Kalph," she said, "will you never" She blushed and drooped her head, but there was a tone in her voice which came as an interpreter over which I had so often been puzzled. I made two hasty stejw forward, paused doubtfully, and asked: "Will I never what. Grace?" She looked up and I saw tears in her eyes, but a smile was breaking U-hind them, ami, dropping her he-ad again, she said softlv and in her half daring way: "Never le anything but my lj ish lover?" "Kovish," I repeated, a new glad light dawning upon my uncertainty. I hurried to her and caught her hands in mine. She let ine have them, ami yielded tremblingly as I drew her over and sat with heron the old cedar chest "Can it lie true." I cried, "that your amusement was onlv meant to hide to hide-" "Just what yours was meant to hid wasn't it, Kalph," she interrupted, coolly. "Yes, Grace, my love, which came again as sshiii as I saw you. Hut how easilv we might have missed each other." "Indeed we might," she answered. Then in a moment, "Oh, I'm so glad; and to think that this dear old chest that we liked so in those happy days, should be the means of making us un derstand each other." "It Is glorious! And what a treasure I selected from it," I said merrily, tak ing the letter from her and holding it up. Shall wt g out and nnil it?" "Yes," she replied. And so we went out, along the gravel path and through the lane that led to the village street, she carrying the let ter in her hand; while the stars came out above us like the cluster of bright hojies that were already shining in our lives. A New Sort of Pie. A correspondent writes to the New York San: During a recent visit to Southern Ohio I came across a delecta ble dish which I think it worth while to present to an epicurious public which docs its eating iu New England. This dish consisted of what is locally known as a "laj'er pie," and was built out of pumpkins and cranlierries. That is, an opeu front or "unkivered" pumpk-in pie an inch in thickness was laid as a foundation, and uikiii this was placed a cranlicrry pie, on which was superim posed another pumpkin pie of the same proportions as the foundation pie. The work of construction being completed, the pie was cm as a jelly cake would be cut, and finer eating I am at a loss to think of. I may add in this connec tion that this composite pie of marvel lous toothsonieness was not partaken of at but one meal. It was ser veil at break fast dinner and supper, and didn't taste bad between meals.

"No ; I hadn't heard there were any." "Oil, it was nunt extraordinary." "What was it?" "Why, you know during his lift-lime evcryliody said h- had no will f his own ?" "Yes." "Well, it was all wrong."
