\\ - \fsWJy EXPERIENCE. Tb» first time, 1711011 at night I went about poking the doora and windows every- where, !After she died, I seemed to loclc her out In the starred silence und the homeless air, !And leave her waiting in her gentle way All through the night, till the disconsolate day, Upon the threshold, whilu we slept, awake! Such thihgs the heart can bear and yet not break. ' —W. D. Hoivells, in Harper's Magazine. BY ESTHER MAYNES, JOBERT MALCOLM had never been, called \Bob\ by any one until bis recently acquired wlt>, with a co- quettish pretense of shy- ness, InuTso addressed him. He had known Jier but a short time Srhen he won her. And now, at the •end ot six blissful mouths, he was •sitting in his splendid library, per- \pll-xed and miserable, and gloomily eyeing the embers of a grate fire and 'trying to persuade himself that the Bbadow which threatened to wreck his future could be explained away if only he had the courage to ask her. On coming home that afternoon he toad gone to the sitting-room and had found it empty. Turnitig to leave, he saw a piece of note paper lying on the •floor, as though it had been brushed off f jbpr desk as she rose in a hurry. In stooping to replace if his eye caught 'the two words, \Dear Tom.\ Dear 'Tom! Could it be thai there was a •dear Tom in her life of whom he knew •anothing? The letter read: '•Dear Tom—If I were to be asked why I am writing to you I should have to admit that I am yielding to an impulse. My whole life has been .made np of impulses, and I never battled '•witii them but once—alas, the very •time I sh'ould have yielded. Xou know •well what I mean, that night you re- • nounced me, renounced me while your •' blood was on fire with love for me, which I knew and felt and revelled in, •*when your eyes dumbly begged me to • tefuse to be renounced and your lips told m.e it would be better to part. Ah, If I had only yielded then to the im- pulse to tell you I loved you well •..enough to share your poverty and the tasi of caring for your poor, helpless •.father! How well I remember that •••dear, delightful, cruel summer in Dorking. \You came, dear, and you stepped Into my heart with that first smile on your brave sunny face. Then, after- ward, Aunt Sarah, when I told her of »ur betrothal, said in her icy, sneering tones: 'I congratulate you upon your discretion. It is a fitting thing that you should marry Tom Spencer and let your early poverty be merged into middle-aged and elderly poverty. As Tom Spencer's wife you will have the satisfaction of Knowing that you have before yon such a life as your mother Sias led, only intensified, since your life will be encumbered by Ms helpless, paralytic old father.' \Tom dear, do not utterly despise me when I tell you that her words had their weight. I did not fear the pov- erty, for I knew you were bound to succeed, if only, dear one, you were •not hampered in your rareer by your father. I knew you -rere fond of him, and that while he lived you would keep •him with you—that even I could not -influence you t o send him away. So, when you told me we had better part, I offered no protestation. I knew your Tieart was aching and that you needed comforting words from me. I knew I Sad only to speak one word to break down the barrier and have you take me to your heart forever. I did not spsak that word. Though my heart cried out to you, I could not tell you that I loved you well enough to share your burden. I did not speak that word. I am married now. My hus- band loves me, and I am rich beyond my fondest expectations. I have all those things which my luxurious and expensive tastes craved—yet I am not happy, Thjs is indeed my farewell. dear one. You know now—every word In this letter has told you—what you are to me. You will not misunder- stand—you will not come to me. It i s over, Tom, and \ Here the writing ended abruptly, Robert Malcolm was a loyal man, (ind though the evidence was against iier, he refused to believe his wife feuilty of all that the letter implied. He told himself that if he dared to. .ask her for an explanation she would give it, and it would be satisfactory. To ask her to confess a dishonorable jaftt was also to confess a lack of con- fidence tn her. While Bo wag sitting there the door •opened noiselessly. A slight girlish figure stole across the thick carpet and behind his chair. Two soft small hands \were clasped before his eyes and a froice whispered: \Guess who it is!\ His heart gave a great bound and be took the hands down and -kissed Ihem, Finally, as if satisfied with rhat he saw, he asked: \Have you been shopping?\ ' She seemed surprised at the trivial Question following so closely upon the ftrKttay she had undergone, and said: '•\Is that all, Mr. Bluebeard? Graci- ous, how you scared me. I expected to \hear you say in sepulchral tones, 'Wo- man, there is guilt in your face- where have -you bidden' the t>ody'<\ &nd instead, after that soul-searching iEazc, you ask the commonplace ques- tion iu commonplace tones, 'Save you fceen sbepping?'\ , With a sigh, of content and love and. belief he threw his arms round her wnd drew her to him.To*-a\ moment, •Then she seated herself opposite him In a low chair, where the firelight fell on her face, bringing out all its -charm. In the magnetism of, her presence iber hlisljand beeama almost happy »nce mote--tin£n the memory of that Setter came back to sting birfl,. : , Suddenly he asked her: ,$ ^,'Adele, were yqu ever in Dorking?\ •' \She opened wide fic* ; eyes flnd tm- \No dear; why do you ask?\ \.Tust curiosity.\ Then, after a pause, he added: \Did you over know a man named Tom Spencer?\ Sho laughed softly, and, folding her dainty hands, replied: \Now I am indeed on the rack. Why torture my Inocent soul w! lire curi- osity to know the reason iar placing me in the witness box?\ At her irrelevant answer his doubts rose again ,and he rather sternly re- peated his question, with a request for a direct reply. \Tom Spencer—Tom Spencer—where have I seen or heard that name?\ she queried softly, as if to herself. \I certainly don't'know any Tom Spen- cer, but I believe I have hoard that name somewhere.\ \And now, you dear, cross ogre, are there any more conundrums for me? Because, if you have finished, I will go and dress for dinner.\ He laughed and watched her disap- pear throgh the door. A month passed, and during this time Robert Malcolm tried to detect a flaw lu his wife's devotion to justify him in the doubt which would creep in whenever he thought of the letter. But it was lu vain that ho sought an ex- planation iu her manner. There was nothing about her to suggest that wealtli had palled upon her, or that without poverty and Tom Spencer her life was a blank. She was as ever air- ily affectionate, daintily tyrannical, flippant and serious in one breath, with that \infinite variety\ which was her greatest charm. One night when they had returned from a dance, ho decided to make a full confession to her and to ask her for an explanation. She had thrown herself into an easy chair and looked even fairer than us- ual. Making a final,effort, he began, and rapidly he told her all—ail about the letter, his doubts and despair and the unhappiness he felt wh»««-ver ho thought of the matter. While ho was talking she was looking down and twisting the rings on her slender fin- gers. When he finished she looked up at him with a slow, amused smile creeping over her face. \Now I understand those questions you asked me about Tom Spencer. Yes, that was the name—and I know why thename seemed f.-miliar to me.\ \Well what of Tom Spencer? Who is ho?\ \He is a creature of my own imag- ination, and once having created Thomas, I straightway forgot him. When you asked me that day I wondered where I had heard the name.\ ' \What do you mean?\ he demanded. \Only this, Bob—but first you must promise not to laugh at me,\ She stopped, looked at nim anxiously. He nodded impatiently, and -she went on. \Some time ago I conceived of being literary. I thought out a story and de- cided that I would depart from the usual routine and have it told in a series of letters. You got hold of the beginning of the story. I was called away that day, and never thought again of my literary venture.\ He drew her up to him and then, with his arms around her, he asked in a husky whisper: \Adele will you forgive me?\ For answer she put her arms round his neck and 'then replied softly: \If you'll promise never to doubt me again.\ The promise and the forgiveness were consummated in one long kiss. A week later in a local paper Robert Malcolm happened on the following: \Dorking April 23.—Mr. William Spencer, an old and respected citizen of this city, died yesterday afternoon. >The deceased had long been a sufferer from paralysis, but his death was un- expected. He leaves one son, Mr. Thomas Spencer, with whom fce lived, to mourn liis loss.\ WASHINGTON. Iusanity in Washington is rapidly in- creasing.

It is an ancient custom in Hungary that when a medical candidate has passed his examination with distinc- tion, and the doctor's degree is con- ferred sub auspiciis regis, he should receive from the Emperor of Austria (King of Hungary) a ring bearing the initials \F. J.\ set in brilliants. After t a certain time he i s admitted to pre- sent his -than'-s In person to the Sov- ereign. In connection with this cus- tom a curior; problem recently exer- cised the mind of a young doctor who was serving his time in the army as a \one year volunteer.\ Being invited to present himself before the Emperor., he\ was greatly puzzled how to do so, for on the one hand, as a private soldier, he ought to wear his shako, while on the other, as doctor of medicine, he should carry his hat under his arm. In his perplexity he sought counsel of his colonel, who after careful consid- eration, delivered himself of the fol- lowing opinion: \If the Emperor speaks to you in. German, which is the regulation lan- guage of the army, you must regard yourself as a plain one year Volunteer, and you will therefore keep your shako on you head. But should his Imperial Majesty address you in Hun- garian, this means that he sees in you a doctor of medicine rather than a sol- dier,-.and you must therefore uncover your head.\—London Globe. Cheeps, tlae Trai-ncd Cat. A man who lives out near Takorna Park has a cat which, he maintains, is twice as intelligent as a dog -and quite as trainable. \You shall see,\ he said the other night, \that Cheeps will follow me wherever I go. Cheeps loves me, and is not happy if separated from me. \Cheeps!\ he shouted. \Kitty kitty! Come, Cheeps.\ Cheeps came. \You see, don't you?\ said the man proudly. \Cheeps will now follow me. To heel, Cheeps, to heel.\ We strolled along and presently the man's wife said: \Bob Where's your cat?\ \Following me.\ said Bob. We all turned. Cheeps wasn't fnl lowing. Cheeps had gone back home and was asleep on the front porch. Cheeps was a cat and not minded to tag after anybody.—Washington Post Austrian School Gardens.

It is to meet just such a want that the Book Publishing House, 134 Leonard street, New York City, is offering to send postpaid a book of 189 pages for the sum of twenty-five cents in stamps. It is filled with hints, sug- gestions and recipes, so that one won- ders a person could have thought of so many subjects and covered the ground so thoroughly. Send for a copy.' Show it to your neighbor, and she will want • one, also, it is r- useful. Industries Resuming. The best development of the week, says Dun's tteview, was the resump- tion of work in many industries that have suffered through strikes, while several serious controversies were averted. Corn Crop Encouraging, The Government crop report is very encouraging for all important crops, except spring wheat. The shrinkage in the acreage condition of that cereal during August was 21.8 per cent, but »ven this marked decline was not so great as some of the crop killers and speculators had predicted it would be. Southern Trade Expanding, Southern trade is expanding as the reason advunr-es. The movement of cot- ton is increasing, and the outlook for i large yield is still maintained, Plso's Cure tor Uonsumption is an infallible medicine for coughs and colds.—N. W.

It is free, and has put thousands of women on the right road to recovery. Mrs. Pinkham never violates th© confidence thus entrusted to her, and although she publishes thousands of testimonials from women who have been benefited by her advice and medicine, never in all her experience has she published such a letter without the full consent, and often by special request of the writer. 5 AAA FORFEIT if we cannot forth-Tltli produae the original letters and signature* ot • •Hill above teatimosiulti., wliiob. will prove their absolute (tomilcenees. . yyy X.y^» &.
