The " Pearl of Ohio."
BY BESSIE CHANDLER.
The sunlight poured in at the east win-
dow and lay in a great square patch on the
sitting -room floor. It was still early. in the
morning, and the room wasn't "set to rights"
yet.
A young girl, who had evidently been
sweeping, was nowebusy dusting the simple
furniture. She was slight and graceful in
figure, with an abundance of bright, brown
hair and a clear, rich color in her cheeks.
She worked as if her mind was not with her
fingers, but far away. She dusted the top
of the clock three times and carefully -aviped
off the under side of several books. ' She
was especially particular about a glass shade
over a vase of paper flowers, and spent a
long time aimlessly polishing its shining
surface.
Presently antelderly woman came in from
the kitchen and looked sharply at her,as she
crossed the room. She was a woman of
about 65, wiry and well preserved. Her gray
hair wasputsmoothly back and arranged in
a small knot, and her neat gingham gown
was fastened at the neck by an old-fashioned
hair brooch. She carried a tray of breakfast
things in her hands, and passed without
speaking into the bedroom, which was at the
right of the sitting room.
The young girl did not look at her, but
went on a little more vigorously with her
dusting.
From the bedrocnn came the sound of
voices, the clear, crisp tones of the woman
who had just entered, mingled with feebler
and more querulous ones.
Before long the elder woman came to the
doorway and stooa there a minute, looking
out.
" Mary," she said, " wheo's that picnic
goin to be ?"
Today," answered. the girl,shortly,color-
ing as she spoke.
"Today !' exclaimed her questioner, as if
much surprised -"today !"
"You knew it was today, Aunt Harriet,"
said the girl, lookingat her squarely, "you
knew it all the time.,
Her aunt leoked slightly confused. "It's
such a silly affair," she said, loftily, " it es-
caped. my
The girl made no answer. Her fingers
played nervously with herduster and her
dark eyes were full of suppressed indigna-
tion.
Hiss Harriet Fenton eyed her a moment
in silence.
"re you still set on Doing with that Jim
Cooley ?" he asked sternly.
" Yes," answered Mary, while her mouth
grew firm, and her head seemed to gain a
certain erectness and defiance of bearing.
"Alter all I've said?" queried the elder
woman, harshly.
"Mary -Harriet," came the feeble voice
cf the invalid, "come in here, I want to see
you." .
Miss Harriet tnrned on her heel and re-
entered the bedroom.. Mary followed her
and, leaning over the footboard, looked at
her other amit.
Miss Lydia Fenton was one ef the many
victims of the grip. A year ago she had
beeo as vigorous an old lady as her sister,
now she lay there pale and weak, feebly
crawling °back to health, which would never
be the same again. Her tray of breakfast
was beside her on a little stand. She had
not eaten.. much, but seemed to have fin-
ished.
She leaked at her sister and niece in a
worried way.
"Mary," she said appealingly, "you
ain't going to the picnic with that Jim Cool-
ey,' are you, after all your Aunt Harriet and.
rne have said ?"
.Thegirl colored deeply and answered in a
gentler tone " Yea, Aunt Lydia, -I am."
'Why, Mary," pleaded the invalid,
". haven't we told you over an' over again
what a shiftless drunken, follow he is."
He ain't a shiftless, drunken fellow,"
He'd stop that if I wanted- him to. He's got
good work and he's steady. He's got money
laid by. You can't find one thing " against
him, but just that time."
" His father was a- drunkard before him,"
said Miss Harriet, grimly.
"His father had red hair," retorted Mary,
quickly, "Jim hasn't, his is black."
Mary," said Miss Lydia, "do you think
it's safe to trust him? Those things mostly
runs in the blood, you know. How can you
tell what he really is."
" He's good enough .for me," answered
Mary, "1 ain't afraid, and if Pm willing to
truat him, seems to me it ain't anybody's
she -paused with the defiant words
trembling on her lips.
Her aunts loOked at her, one reproachful-
ly, one wearily. She was the one bright
thing in their lives, and they-hoth loved her
with an intensity that would have surprised
them if they had realized it. They could
not bear to give her up. They would have
felt resentful toward any man who robbed
them of her. They would have found some
fault with perfection itself -how then could
they be satisfied • with poor Jim Cooley,
bearing such a very palpable blot on his
'scitcheon •
We brought you up, Mary," said Miss
Harriet, after -a little pause. "We clone
the best we could for you, ever, since your
mother died. It seems kind -of hard to have
you leaving us now, and going off with that
-drunkar "s son."
She was going to call him "something
worse but the flash in Mary's eyes prevent-
ed. iet something in her aunt's speech
toothed the young girl. The indignation
faded from her face, and there were tears
in her eyes, and her voice trembled as she
said:
"You've been awful good to me, both of
yoti 1 I don't forget it, I never shall. I'm
willing to wait if you want me to. I don't
want to leave you. I hate to have you feel
so about it. rm willing to dd most anything
only -I can't give up Jim !"
She said the last words softly, and again
the color rose in her cheeks.
Her two old aunts looked at her curious-
ly. They could not understand. They could
only marvel greatly, at this beautiful rose
of love, blossoming so unexpectedly before
then. They had never seen anything like
it before, in the little kitchen gardens of
their; lives.
Miss Lydia closed her eyes, as if the sub-
ject were too knotty and intricate for her
feeble strength.
Miss Harriet took up the tray, and pre-
pitred to leave the room:
' "Well," she said briskly, "I don't know
as there's any -use in talking about it any
longer. You've had your say, and we have
hakour'n. Of course, we don't want a scan-
dal. We. ain't a -going to quarrel with you,
nor have no fuss, but your Aunt Lydia and
me won't neither of us ever give our consent
nor be willing to have you marry that Jim
Cooley !"
She walked quietly out of the room, the
dishes jingling aa'she went.
" Mary; ' said her Aunt Lydia, "come
here." .
Mary put aside the little table and sat
down on the bed by her aunt.
"Your Aunt Harriet's right," said the
sick woman, gently. "She always is. I
couldn't never talk as well as she doe; even
when I was well, and this 'ere grip -it don't
seem to have left ape with the power of
speech at all !"-
She looked wistfully at the young girl's
face. "I want you to be happy, Mary. I
don't think your poor mother was,and Har-
riet and me --well, it's always been a kind o'
struggle to hold our heads up and keep a-
goihg. But I'd like to have you have an
easier time. Doyoufell's if you'd b hap-
pier hvith Jim Cooley than anybody else ?'
Yes," said Mary, softly.
a And you're going to the picnic any-
way?"
"Yes, Atiot Lydia, I've got to.
i" Well, good -by, dear."
She held out her thin hands and drew the
giri toward her. There were tears in her
aded eyes, . and they glistened, too, on
Mary's long eyelashes.
" Good -by, ' she said with a sort of sob,
and she kissed repeatedly her aunt's white,
withered cheeks.
Each felt dimly that it was no ordinary
farewell. Mary was taking a step into the
unknown realm of womanhood, and they
were both saying good -by forever to the girl
that she had been.
Mary went into the outer room and finish-
ed her work. She closed the blinds and
turned the slats, so that only a dim green
light struggled in. Then she went up
stairs, and her aunt heard her light step, as
she moved about doing her work up there
and making her simple preparation for the
By and by, she heard the sound of wheels..
They stopped at the gate. Mary had heard
them ,too,for presently she came down stairs,
waited a minute in the hall, and then the
door closed and she was gone. The sound
of ,wheels was lost down the yillage street,
and everything was very still.
The sick woman turned her head on the
and drew a sigh. Then she closed
her eyes and tried toSieep.
Outside, the birds were calling to each
other. The apple trees - were white with
bloseoms and the bees buzzed 4round them
all day long. A few wide.awa» tulips held
themselves very straight on their amooth,
brittle stems, and.lie rose bushes by the
door were full of, little gt'eer mysteries,
that by and by would reveal t1iemselves as
roes.
It was a perfect day -one of those that
appeal to some people as a day in which to
do ttothing but to enjoy one's self, while to
another class they suggest just as strongly
an .opportunity for extra work and exertion.
Miss Harriet belonged to the latter class.
She busied herself in the kitchen for a time
and then, when everything was in rigorous
order there, she appeared in her sister's room
again.
she paid, "I've about conclud-
ed to clean the mike this morning. It's a
pity to let a nice, bright day like this go to
waste, and you know I'm kinder behind
wi.th the cleaning this year. I thought I
wouldn't get no dinner, but a sert of lunch,
and just keep at it till I got it done."
Well,"said Miss Lydia, "that's a "good
plain. I wish I could help you."
Oh, pshaw ! I don't need no help! Do
yeti want anything before I start in ?
4'I don't know as I do."
Well, here's the bell on the table, and if
anybody comes to the door,oryou want
anything, you just ring. hear you."
The morning wore away. Miss Harriet
swipt and brushed and "wiped up," and took
-mg pleasure in the orderly arrangement of
he little cellar.
She half forgot the daring .young spirit
that had defied her, and comforted herself
with the mathematical exactness of her
Welling wood pile. It is something to rule
in rour own cellar, even if you can't govern
th4 vagaries of love's young dream.
It was nearly 1 o'clock when she appeared

again. She had quite a large tray' in. her
,hands, and it seemed piled up with different
dishes;
," I just thought," she . said, that I'd
have my dinner In here with you, and not
set any regular table."
"That's good," saidMiss Lydia, it's
kinder lonesome eating islone."
Miss Harriet arranged the dishes and set
them out. There was bread and butter and
cold meat, half a loaf of 'chocolate cake, an
some stewed pieplant. Miss'llarriet disap-
peared again, and brought in a large green
bottle with silver foil over the cork.
"What's that ?" asked Miss Lydia, who
was sitting up in bed,:and trying to beat up
her pillows.
" It's that bottle of stuff that old Judge
Warner sent us the day Mary was baptized.
You know sister Mary was named after hia
wife, and we called our Mary, 'Mary War-
ner,' just the same, I &pose that's what Made
him send it."
"I'd forgot all about it."
" So'd I found it in the
morning."
"What is it, anyway ?"
"1 don't know, but I thought whatever
it was, it's time 'twas used up. I guess it's
some Sort of flavored drink. Don't you re-
member that raspberry shrub that old Mis'
Scott sent Mary ! I was going to make some
tea, but the fire went out when I went down
cellar, and I don't feel like kindling an-
other."
cellar this
She peeled off the silvet foil from the
cork, while her sister watched her curiously.
"1 hadn't thought of this for years,"Miss
Harriet went on, ,` but I remember when I
did put it away. I had an idea we might
use it at Mary's wedding. I don't know as
I care about that now," she added with a
sigh.
What does it say on it ?" inquired Miss
Lydia, looking at the square white label.
It sea% 'Pearl of Ohio' here in the. mid-
dle, and down in one corner it says 'Sandus-
ky.' I guess there's where they put it up,
but you ean't tell anything by these fancy
names. The last bottle of oil I got had some
Frencn lingo up to the top and underneath
it said 'Nice,' It wasn't so dreadful nice
neither. I hope whatever 'tis, that it'll
fresh you up some. You know the doctor
said you needed nourishing things. I feel
all petered out myself, a reaching up, and
scroodging over so long. My! these wires
is awful tough !"
She rose and got a large pair of shears,
with which she succeeded in cutting and
untwisting the wires. Then she procured a
corkscrew and laborously extracted the cork.
A thin, whitish vapor arose from the bottle,
which seemed to surprise her, but she smelt
of it cautiously; and observed.
"It don't seem -to have soured none,what-
ever else it's done."
In the tray were two old-fashioned cups
and. saucers of delicate, yellowish white
china. They were edged with gold and deo-.
orated with a design of sheep and lambs.
There was also a curly -headed shepherd in a
somewhat baggy tunic, who °seemed to be
playing upon a pipe. It was a bit of Arca-
dian landscape, suggesting purity 'and sim-
plicity. Into this innocent little china tea
cupowith its bucolic decorations, Mies Hath

She fille% up the cup and passed it to her

"Here, Lyddy; drink it right down," she
said, "1 know it'll do you good."
She poured some into the other teacup for
herself, and then the two old ladies proceed-
ed to eat their simple meal. All unconsci-
ously they sipped the yellow liquid in the
little lamb -covered cups, and were feeling
very cheerful, in spite of age and sickness,
when suddenly; Just as Miss Harriet was
going to -cut the chocolate cake, her hand
faltered, then she raised it to her head and
said in a quivering voice
"Lyddy,, I believe I'm going to have one
of my dizzy turns."
Miss Lydia looked at her and smiled fee-
bly. Her eyes were nearly closed.
Are you," she said, struggling to open
them. I el so sleepy, Harriet." She
smiled again, and seemed. happier and more
contented than she had done for along time.
Her sister gazed at her wildly. She saw
the smile that still lingered in the corner of
M iss Lydia's mouth. She noticed the flut-
tering eyelids,that tried in vain to lift them-
selves from the faded blue eyes. Then she
rose, and clutching the table she almost
shrieked:
" Liddy ! Liddy ! we've been poisoned!
Oo, my! eh, my! Rouse up, Lyddy! rouse
up! Oh, dearie, m -things is all whirling
round; and the floor's gone slanting. Lyddy,
Lyddy, I say, 'rouse up, and shake it off!"
But Miss Lydia could not have "roused
up" to save her life. She only murmured
softly, "I'm so sleepy, Harriet, and smiled
contentedly again. Then she apparently
dropped off into repose, and Miss Harriet
groaned aloud :
"Oh, my !" she gasped, "this is awful !
To be poisoned in your own bed! To die, to

ture, and walked uncertainly to the door.
She opened it, and stood thinking for a min-

A! little boy was passing, barefooted and
freckle -faced.
Miss Harriet saw him, and beckoned with
all her"might.
"Sonny," she cried, "run for a doctor,
for your life !"
She kept one hand clasped to her head,and
looked s trange, that after one glance at
her, the li tle boy scampered down the street
and Miss 1arriet felt her way back into her
sister's in."

rapidly home to his dinner. He stopped at
the sight of the freckle -faced boy, who yell-
ed to him:
"Hello, doctor, hello! Go down to old
Miss Fenton's quick's you can. She's took
a*,1111hiels)laodI"
ctor turned the corner and rattled
down the shady street.
, Miss Harriett had left the front door open,
and as no one answered his knock, he step-
ped into the little sitting -room, and from
there to the doorway of the bedroom where
the sisters were.
Miss Lydia still slept on. .She looked. very
peaceful and happy, but Miss Harriet, who
had dropped into a chair beside the bed,
lcoked strange and wild.
The doctor came toward her and took her
Did you send for me, Miss Fenton 9" he
said. "What is the matter 9"
Miss Harriet looked at him blankly and
burst
into tears.
rsi
"" she moaned, "we're kill-
ed! Lydia's dead and I guess I'm dying!
We've been poisoned, doctor, that's what's
the matter, with the Pearl of Ohio."
-" With the what ?" he tasked, vaguely,
feeling her pulse and looking at her eyes.
"There 'tie," she said, pointing tragically
to the silver -crowned bottle. " ,can't see
straight and everything whirls. My legs is
paralyzed and my tongue is bias."
She threw her arms across the front of the
bed, and burying her face in them, sobbed
aloud.
' The doctor went over and examined the
bottle, and a strange expression crossed his
face. He noticed the two white teacups, in
each of which a little yellow liquid lingered.
Then he looked at the recumbent figures of
the two old ladies, and was almost overcome
with his emotions.
' Miss Harriet didn't answer him. She only
groaned a little.
The doctor looked around the room. There
was no one to help him and he was used. to
being nurse as well as physician to his poor-
er patients. He took up one of the innocent
old cups and saucers and went out with
them into the kitchen. He rinsed it out at
the sink and nearly filled it with freshwater.
Then he brought it back and dropped some-
thing into it from one of his:little vials:
His broad shoulders were shaking all the
time'and his eyes Were so full of laughter
that Miss Harriet would surely have noticed
it if she had noticed anything at all.
He went up to her with the teacup in his
hand. It struck him with a sense of poetic
justice that that which had held the 'poison'
should also contain the antidote.
"" Miss Fenton," lie said, trying to rouse,
her, "take this."
121e lifted her up in her chair and held the
teaspoon to her bps. She swallowed the
mixture meekly, but looked at hiin with
troubled eyes.
"Ain't I going to die?" she asked, anxi-
ously.'
"No," he said cheerfully, "1 think not."
"Ain't Lydia dead ?"
"No, Miss Fenton, your sister is all right;
rather sound asleep, that's all."
He turned his back as` he spoke, and Miss
Harriet coialdn't see his face. -
She began to"feel better, less peculiar and
unnatural. Her scattered senses seemed re-
turning to their posts of duty.
"What is it, doctor?" she asked, "ain't
we been poisoned ?"
"1 think not," he said kindly, only a
little frightened."
There was 'silence in the room. The doctor
replaced thellittle case and closed it vvith a
snap. Then he brought Miss- Harriet the
teacup again.
"Take a teaspoonful every 10 or 15
utes," he said, until you feel better."
Miss Harriet's keenness of perception was
slowly returning. Something in the doctor's
manner puzzled her. Her eyes traveled
from the studied composure of his face to
her sleeping sister. Then they lighted upon
the Pearl of Ohio, and a burning red spot
showed itself in each °flier wrinkled cheeks.
"Doctor," she said, solemnly, "1 want
you to tell me the truth. Are me and Lyddy
intoxicated 9"
She looked at him earnestly, and the doc-
tor's eyes fell before the dignity of her ex-
pression.
"1 wouldn't call it that," he said, reas-
suringly. "You were unaccustomed to
champagne, and it affected you a little un-
pleasantly."
"What champagne ?" asked Miss Harriet,
innocently.
"Why, that," and he pointed to the
bottle.
Miss Harriet looked at it aghast.
"Is the Pearl of Ohio champagne ?" she
asked, with a certain note of horror in her
voice.
" Yes ; didn't you know that? What did
you think it was 9"
"Why, 1 s'posed it was some kind of
fruit flavored stuff like raspberry shrub.
Why, that's wine, isn't it ?"
" Yes " answered the young doctor, sober-
ly ; "it is usually regarded so,"
"And me and. Lyddy took a teacupful.
Ain't that an awful sight ?" '
"No, though I never saw it drank in just
that way before." .
Miss Harriet arose. She seemed fully re-
covered. She seized the Pearl of Ohio as if
it were a viper that might sting her at any
minute, and bore it into ther little kitchen.
Tnere was a gurgling, rippling sound, to
which the doctor listened with intense
amusement. It was Miss Harriet pouring
the rest of the Pearl of Ohio down the kit-
chen sink. She balanced the bottle careful-
ly upside down, and left it standing on its
head, that every deceitful drop might drain
away. Then she returned With dignity to
1
the room.
• "Doctor," she said, slowly, "1 ain't got
one word to say about this awful thing. I
never would have dreame4l. that it could
happen. Me and Lyddy' S lived honored
and respected in this house for over sixty
years.e
The tears started and she wiped:her eyes,
and coughed a little.
"Don't feel like that," said the doctor,
touched by the genuineness of her shame.
"It is nothing to be mortified about, it was
a very natural mistake. Of course, you
know, he added, kindly, "whatever passes
between a doctor and his Patient is sacred
and confidential."
Miss Harriet's fine old face looked re-
lieved.
"Thank you," she AMA siMply, "1 didn't
want it to go no farther than it's got to. It's
disgrace enough to know it yourself."
"You must'nt feel like i that," repeated
