J flHrno KNEW. cvcn as a ciiiid,
V 1=1 -?.!==! that Aunt Eliza was differ|
| ent from the rest of us. I
. felt that there was some
[Ell 1101 mystery connected with
her, and, moved by childish
curiosity, I determined to unravel
tt
I questioned my elders?grandmother,
Runts aud uncles?but all to no purpose.
Then I tried the neighbors.
They would gladly have answered my
questions, had they known anything to
tell. The family bad moved there
when Aunt Eliza was a bride, and
ehe had always been the same.
The years passed, but 1 never lost
my interest in Aunt Eliza, and as I
' ? -?- ?? * > fihA

' was a beautiful woman, but there was
something strange in ber expression.
She was happy, in a way, but never
I manifested interest or enthusiasm in
anything. We were a high tempered
family, but she never showed any
emotion. Her voice was the sweetest
I have ever heard, and her tones were
especially tender when she spoke her
husband's name, Geoffrey, and occasionally
she would use his full name,
Geoffrey Craydon.
Uncle Geoffrey seemed peculiarly
conscious of his name, and especially
when she lingered over it, as she loved
to do. At times there was a light in
his stern eyes that seemed to suggest
Irritation, at other times remorse, but
.he never gave utterance to his
thoughts.
For a long time I envied her this
Impassive demeanor, and wondered if
I would ever become quiet and selfT>ossessed
like her. but at last this dead
calm began to worry me. and I determined
that if she bad any feeling I
.would rouse her.
Up in tbe garret there -were some
old trunks and boxes that the family
bad brought from their old Virginia
borne, which they still owned, but
which we had never been permitted to
.Visit
I waited many days before I had a
chance to explore the attic. I had gone
to town to spend tbe day, and the rest
of the family were at a picnic. I
found it convenient to return on an
early train, aud then had several hours
to myself.
I had a guilty feeling as I ascended
tbe creaky stairs to the attic, and a
struggle between conscience and curios
Ity Degan. xne latter won, anci i was
soon kneeling before the trunk that I
felt sure was Aunt Eliza's.
I had taken a bunch of keys from
grandmother's cabinet and I tried one
after another, until the lock finally
yielded. I had to stifle many pangs of
conscience as I took out the dainty
dresses, slippers and elegant bridal
trousseau that had Jain here undisturbed
for twenty years.
Nothing remained but a large pasteboard
box in the bottom. My search
was rewarded. It was filled with letters.
I took them out one by one.
What scores of admirers she must
bave had; Aunt Eliza had certainly
been popular. There seemed to be
j * nothing from Uncle Geoffrey,
i I tossed letters here and there, looking
for his peculiar cramped handwriting,
but in vain. > picked up the
I last package. Tliey were in a bold,
masculine hand. 1 glanced at the signature
of the first in dismay. There,
in firm, even strokes?such a* contrast
to my uncle's labored efforts?was the
name, Geoffrey Cray don. I hurriedly
looked through. All bore the same
signature.
I began to read them. They were
impassioned love letters that might
have won the heart of any woman.
Could it be possible that my stern,
selfish Uncle Geoffrey had written
them? I-Iad he ever had the heart and
soul which warmed every page of these
letters?
In the last three letters the tone
changed. The writer pleaded, even
wj commanded, ber to discourage the attentions
of George Reynolds. I bad
never heard tbe name mentioned by
any of tbe family. I would questiou
Aunt Eliza.
I found ber sitting alone on the porch
one evening. She answered my commonplace
questions in her usual absent-miuded
way. At last I rose as
If to go. but turned and said:
"Aunt Eliza, did you ever know
George Reynolds?"
Tbe effect was like magic. She
sprang from her chair, opened her lips,
vainly trying to speak, and before 1
could catch her, fell heavily to the
porch.
The whole family rushed out. They
looked suspiciously at me and just as
I was wondering -niiat explanation to
give, grandmother drew ray arm
through hers anu led me into tbe sit
uuji ruuui.
Her sorrow overcame my resolution
not to tell and sbe soon knew the whole
etory.
There was a long silence. At last
the said:
"Mary, you nave done very wrong.
Your curiosity may cost your Aunt
Eliza her peace of mind. It may even
be the means ol her dentil/'
She paused. but I did not reply, and
she continued:
* "There is a sccret, but this must
never be repeated. Your Aunt Eliza's

cur silence."
I bad to ficccpt this as final, and 1
was content to do .so. as Aunt Eliza,
upon regaining consciousness, seemed
none the worse l'or my unwarranted
interference.

A few years later I married and went [
West. 1 bad been tbere but a sbort j
time when I was called to Virginia by j
tbe announcement of Aunt Eliza's ;
deatb. They had taken her back to j
her old home for burial, and I found ;
all tbe family tbere when I arrived.
Tbe bouse was crowded with old-time
friends and neighbors, and I noticed
max an setmcu ju3uui_u>tij mviu i
Uncle Geoffrey.
Tiiat evening my mother's cousin !
called me into the library and closed i
the doors. He seemed overcome by j
Amotion, but at last spoke.
"You and your sister have.the repu- i
tation of being beautiful. Mary, but I
neither of you can compare with your j
Aurtt Eliza when she was young. Everyone
loved her and she had but ono
fault, an ungovernable temper. I see !
you start, but the calm that you so j
much admired was purchased only at .
the price of her happiness and reason. I
"She was the belle of the country, j
and numbered her admirers by the
score, but it was plainly to be seen |
that only one touched her heart. This j
suitor, whom I will call Lewis, was |
everything that a girl could desire, j
He was young, handsome and wealthy, ;
and they seemed an ideal couple. Eoth

ding day approached the whole neighborhood
rejoiced in their happiness.
"Then came trouble. Lewis was called
away on business, and a new admirer,
your uncle, wbose real name is George
Reynolds, appeared. Although know- j
ing your Aunt Eliza to be engaged, he j
pressed his suit, and she, I am sorry to
say, encouraged him.
"She cared nothing for him. but !
talked and danced enough with him to j
stir up neighborhood gossip. Of course ;
it reached Lewis, and after a brisk j
but unsatisfactory correspondence he j
hurried home.
"A long interview followed. Wbat j
passed we never knew except that
your Aunt Eliza lost complete control |
of herself and bade him leave her |
and never come back; and he replied I
that he would go, but would return j
whenever she sent for him.
"The next we heard was that Lewis
had enlisted in the Civil War, which i
had just broken out. George Reynolds j
now became the accepted suitor of j
your aunt. Six months went by and j
the wedding day was set. Eliza De<
came pale and thin. It was whispered
that she was slowly dying of a broken
heart. Members of the family appealed
to Reynolds to give her up. bull
he refused. Then we begged her toi
cancel the engagement.- pointing out:
the folly and -wickedness of marrying
a man she did not love.
"At last she heeded, broke the engagement.
and wrote a long letter to
Lewis, apologizing for all that she had
done, and telling him if he still cared
for her to return.
"Now came the hardest time of our
lives., I do not like to think of her suffering
as weeks and months passed
without any reply from Lewis. She
had drooped until we despaired of her
life, but pride came to the rescue and
she brightened up, going into society
more than ever. JVo party or Dan
was complete without her. It was current
gossip that if she had ever cared
for Lewis, she had outlived it.
"Your uncle renewed his attentions,
was accepted, and the wedding shortly
followed. The following day we had a
big reception for them. The whole
countryside was present. In the midst
of the festivities Lewis walked in.
Without a word of greeting he went
straight to her and said:
" '1 have come in answer to your
letter. I have come to claim you.'
"With one agonizing glance she
dropped seemingly lifeless at his feet.
"It was weeks before she regained
consciousness, but with reason forever
dethroned.
"By this time Lewis was der.d and
buried, having been killed at the Battle
of Bull Run.
"All the past was blotted out for
your Aunt Eliza except a remembrance
oi names, ana me strange part 01 11 |
was she thought your Uncle Reynolds ;
was an old friend of hers, Geoffrey
Crnydon.
"In order to keep up the delusion. ]
which was a happy one for her, and !
which the family physician said was j
necessary to prevent her becoming ?t !
hopeless maniac, the family broke up. j
severed old ties and associations, and ;
went to Illinois, your uncle reluctantly j
changing his name to that of the man
she believed him to be. Happiiy she
died without discovering her mistake, j
She is to be buried by the side of fcer j
old love."
jtmr tne jeiterr- i inquired. -v\ny :
did not Lewis come as soon as Lc re- j
ceived it?"
"He did. It was claimed, though j
not proved, that Reynolds bribed the !
postmaster to .destroy it; that he held j
it instead, and at last driven by re- j
morse, sent it when too late to do any j
good."
The next day, as I stood by Aunt |
Eliza's grave. I glanced at the neigh- j
boring headstone and was hardly sur- 1
prised to see the nan?, "Geoffrey j
Lewis Craydon."
I looked at Uncle Geoffrey, as Cousin ;
Rawdon, interpreting my thoughts,
whispered:

been bitter enough."?Waverley Magazine.

Smart "Walkinj; Suit.
With the walking suit in the
height of favor this fetching model
comes as a particularly pleasing addition
to our wardrobes. The Eton is
jnuntiness personified with its silken
frogs and olives, and the cleverly
gored skirt shows the necessary fullness
about the feet. Here we see the
one-color costume, tiie enure arrangement
being carried out in a soft tan
shade. Colors may come, by the way,
and colors may go, but tan one of the
lasting favorites. The blouse worn
with this suit is of creamy batiste, inset
with lace. Lace in the same shade
serves as an effective applique along
the edge of the modish tan sunshnde.
Most richly does the natural shade of
the modish straw hat blend in with the
ton* of the cloth. It is trimmed with
veivet ribbon (emerald, brown, black,
I cream or red'are equally pood) and j
) the rosette at the left back is partlcu- j
larly good. And one word before we |
leave this subject. The short coat I

Pretty Neckwuar.
Any woolen waist, and especially
colored ones, are made twice as attractive
if, instead of tight linen col- j
lars, airy lace or embroidered linen or j
lawn ties are worn with them. This is !
a little feminine touch never omitted j
by a French woman. The fine hand- j
kerchief cravat, easily made at home, j
is pretty, and the innumerable dainty J
and fragile neck pieces for sale in the ;
shops are also wound twice around the !
neck and fastened with a gold pin at
the throat. Any of these lighten cloth

Accidents to Employes.
Kino States now require factory operators
to report accidents suffered by
their employes. An incomplete revord
made by the New York Bureau of Labor
in 1899, covering about one-half of
the factorv workers in the State for
three months, showed 1822 accidents. I
According to Dr. Ji>siah Strong, on
this basis the annual number of accidents
in the State's factories would be
14.57C.
In a recent year, of 142.420 employes
in the anthracite mines of Pennsylvania,
411 were killed. Of S7.S02 employes
in the bituminous mines 198
were killed.
During the year ended June 30, 1903,
there were 8088 killed and 04,662 injured
on the railways of the United
States. The average for the year was
twenty-two killed and 177 injured
every day.
In 1890 American railways killed one
nersnn fnr every 306 employes, while
the roads of Germany killed only one
for every 750. and those of AustriaHungary
only one for every 30C7. The
same year American roads injured one
person for every thirty-three employes,
German roads one for every 109 and
Austrian one for every 292.
An Awful Japanese Custom.
It was the custom in old Japan to
bury living retainers, servants, and
even horses, upright in a circle around
the grave of a member of any imperial
or noble family. The heads of these
poor wretches were left exposed, and
their cries of agony during their lingering
death could be heard night and
day. This awful custom was changed
by a tender hearted ruler in the second
year of our Christian era, rough clay
images being substituted for the living
beings: but so late as A. D. G4G,
another Emperor bad to legislate
against the recurrence of such living
burials.?St. James' Gazette.
Treacle For Horees.
Scientific* tests in substituting treacle
for oats and other cereals in feeding
horses have yielded surprising results.
It is now definitely established
that as a horse diet there is magic in
treacle. Witli this syrup on bis bill of
fare, tbe horse rapidly takes on solid
weight, develops prodigiously in muscular
energy,' grows a glossy coat, and
enjoys uninterrupted wealth. For
these animals, therefore, treacle is declared
to be both a tonic and health
food. In addition to the many desirable
results a treacle diet reduces the
cost of horse maintenance over twentylive
per cent.?London Tit-Bits.
lTne6 For Old Parchments.
Quite a good price is paid by a
French firm for old parchments of all
descriptions. They have a process for
removing the ink, and eventually the
cleaned stuff comes back to us as the
finest French kid gloves. The clippings
left when the gloves are made
are not wasted, either. Mixed with
pieces of vellum and leather, they are
boiled down for size. And the coarse

One of the greatest foes with which
every family has to contend is o^r changeable
climate. To protect the family from
colds and coughs is always a serious problem,
and often impossible.
Sooner or later it is the inevitable fate
of every one to catch cold. Care in avoiding
exposure and the use of proper clothing
will protect from the frequency and
perhaps the severity of colds, but with the
greatest of precautions they will come.
This is a settled fact of human experience.
Everybody must expect to be oaught somewhere
or somehow.
Perhaps it will be wet feet, or a draught,
or damp clotbes^or it may be one of a
thousand other little mishaps, but no one
is shrewd enough to always avoid tne inevitable
catching cold.
There is no fact of medical science better
known than that Peruna cures catarrh
wherever located. Thousands of families
in all parts of the United States are protected
from colds and catarrh by Peruna.
Once in the family Peruna always stays.
