AUNT ALICE.
5
Don't you think ypn could come now?"
There was a little tremble in his voice
born of tenderness and long years of wait-
ing.
Aunt Alioe wee sorry for him, just as
he had been sorry for her when she was
left alone. "I have always appreciated
your feeling for mo," she said. "You
know how it hae been. I have always been
hoping against hope that the boy would
come back some day. Of late I have felt
that he is not dead, and I would like to
have a home for him when he comes, if he
ever does Dome. Ile might be poor and
need it." All the love of a woman's life-
time was in what she said. "But If you
want me I will -I will tell you in the
morning."
She held out her hand to him as he went
away, and it seemed to Ephraim that the
oioude were opening to show their silver
lining.
Morning Dame, and Aunt Allots had out
some lilacs and was arranging them in the
blue bowl on the table. There was a clink
as the gate swung open.
"That is Ephraim coming to out the
grass, and to"- Something like a blush
stole over Aunt Alice's cheeks. Then there
was a crunching of gravel under quick
feet, a stride that made two steps of the
five leading up to the veranda and a shad-
ow fell across the floor. Surely Ephraim
would not Dome in in suoh a rush. Aunt
Aline turned. The figure was almost as
tall as the doorway, the face was bronzed
by wind and sun, a cap with a knot of
gold about it was pushed back from the
dark curls, a blue uniform with a dash of
gold made up the rest, but all this was as
nothing. Aunt Alice saw only the brown
eyes misty with emotion and the out-
stretched arms, and hoard only tho voice -
"Aunt Alice, don't you know your boy?"
"My boy," was all she 'said, and then
her arms went round his neck, and e
bridge spanned the years of silence and
morrow.
" I have been dreaming of this for years,"
he said at last, "when I should come batik
to you and ask you to forgive me. I have
felt like an ingrate always, but each year
I have promised myself 10 Dome, and I
wanted to surprise you."
Then followed explanations. Albert's
father, a seaman, had stolen the boy away
and taken him with him to sae. For
months it bad been impossible for him to
get any word to her, then in the interest
of his life at sea be postponed writing.
His father died, he received au appoint-
ment. Ambition claimed him.
"I meant to bring an honorable name
to you when I came, Aunt Alice, and I
worked hard foradvancement."
She glauced at his uniform, but it told
her nothing. Living inland, she had never
seen one like it before. She did not ask
any questions. She was so glad to have
him back she could not speak. She did
not dare ask if he would stay. She knew
bis answer would bo disappointing.
Then, after all the explanations bad
been made and the history of the years
had bean told, Ephraim drove upon the
lawn, and the clatter of the whirling knife
of the mower came to them.
"That is Ephraim Drayton," said the
boy. "I would have known him In China.
You didn't marry him, after all, Aunt
Alice. I always thought you would some
time."
Aunt Alioe's face flushed like a girl's of
16. "I didn't marry him, but" -
"But you are going to, Aunt Alice? I
am so glad, for then you will not be alone
when 1 go back to my ship."
Ensign Travers' short leave of absence
soon came to an end, and the morning he
started to return to bis ship the bell in the
little village church told the town that
there was a bride that day and that Eph-
raim Drayton was the happiest man in the
country. Ensign Travers kissed the bride
and said, "Pray for me, Aunt Alice, when
you read of battles at sea, and don't forget
your boy," and to Ephraim be said: "Be
good to her, Uncle Ephraim. God never
made a bettor woman than my Aunt
Alice." -Katharine Hartman in Buffalo
News.
"She never got over it."
Ephraim Drayton, leaning on his gar-
den fence, looked across the road to the
house where Alice Travers lived and added:
"And she never will."
Ephraim had been tying grapes In the
garden, and he was talking to himself.
Tho habit bad come from his living so
long alone. Tall and straight and fresh
faced, there was only a bit of gray above
bis ears to show that age was coming on.
Ile was thinking of that May morning
20 years ago when ho walked across the
road and asked Alice Travers to be his
wife. A week before that she had stood'
beside the open grave of her father and
the "ashes to ashes and dust to dust" had
covered the last one of her race, and she
was alone in the world.
"I was sorry for her," Ephraim con-
tinued to himself. "I think I could have
made her happy. She would have Dome to
me 1f it hadn't been for that boy."
Sorrow after sorrow came to Alice Trav-
ers until she was 20 and alone in the world.
If she had been a weak woman, her spirit
might have been broken. As it was, it
was purified and strengthened. When she
turned from the last grave, she looked for-
ward to a long life of usefulness. Perhaps
she would be a teacher, perhaps a mission-
ary. High hopes are born. to counteract
the effects of disappointment and the
great trials of life. She respected Ephraim
Drayton. She had known him all her life,
but she would not marry anyone, rhe said.
Then one day word came that a poor
woman she had been looking after was dy-
ing. Her little boy was 5 years old, and
she begged Miss Travers to care for him.
"His father must surely be dead. I have
not heard from him in four years. Prom-
ise me to care for my little .Albert."
"I promise."
So the bright Dyed little Albert Layton
came into her life and she became "Aunt
Alice." Not Aunt Alice to the boy only,
but to his playmates. She was Aunt Alice
to the children Doming home from school
and begging with wistful eyes for a scarlet
tulip from the mound bed or a bunch of
lilacs from the old bush at the gate.
So the boy was cared for and loved by
Aunt Alice. She dressed him like a little
prince. She taught him all she knew,
and when be was 15 she sent him away to
a preparatory school. She was very proud
of her boy. Sometimes she felt that an
especial Providence had sent him to her.
Certainly out of nothing else in lite could
she have realized so much comfort as in
caring for tho boy. She pictured a great
future for him. Knitting by her fireplace
on winter evenings, she looked into the
future and saw him making impassioned
speeches for his country's welfare in con-
udes or filling tho highest place on the
icial bench.
Then one day an unusual thing hap-
pened. The operator at the depot called
en urchin from play on the platform to
take a message to Miss Travore. Tho boy
found her in her garden and stood in
childish curiosity as she opened the envel-
ope and read: "Albert has disappeared.
Is he at home?" It was signed by the prin-
cipal of the sohool.
A great wave of fear name over Apnt
Aline, choking her dumb and drawing
lines of pain about her mouth. It was
hours beforo'a train was due for the city.
How she lived those hours she 'hardly
knew. When she reached the schoc.l, she
found that every effort had been made to
find the boy. The papers had "Abduc-
tion" headlines and the police were at
work, but the boy had vanished as 11 he
had been swallowed up by the earth. His
room was in order, his clothes carefully
put away. Even his watch she had given
him on hie last birthday was ticking the
minutes away in its little satin case on the
dresser. He was gone. With the intuition
that comes to highly sensitive natures,
Aunt Alice felt that she would never see
that bright, boyish face again. She packed
up his belongings as one puts away the
things of one who is dead and went back
to her lonely home.
And it was on account of all this that
Ephraim Drayton said to himself as he
leaned on his garden fence in the dusk of
the evening:
"She never got over it, and she never
she was still Aunt Alice. The children
who bad begged the flowers were grown
up now. Sometimes they name to her and
told their little trials and love affairs, and
she advised them just as she would have
advised her boy had he lived. He was
surely dead. If not, he would have come
back to her.
The dew was falling on the lilacs, and
their heavy odor drifted across the way to
Ephrnin's garden. He opened the gate
and walked up the gravel path to Aunt
Alice's veranda, She was sitting there in
the red rocker. He sat down on the top
step of the porch.
"I am going to out my grams tomor-
•
row," he said, "and I thought maybe
you'd let me try my new mower on your
lawn." .
"Yon are very kind," said Aunt Alice.
"I will be glad to have the grass out. The
warm rains have started it up so."
Ephraim removed hie wide straw hat
and leaned against the post. Before him,
beyond Aunt Alice's lawn lay his own
handsome domain, the house he had built
when he had brighter hopes than now, the
great' orchard all in blossom and the wide
barns beyond. It was an estate of which
any man might be proud. There was ev-
erything there heart could wish, save the
one thing that 011e a man's heart until
there is nothing more to want this side of
heaven. It was really this very thing that
had led E hraim's feet up the path this
evening. He didn't know just what words
to choose for the occasion, so he spoke
What was in his heart.
"I find it mighty lonesome over there,
Aline," he said, pointing toward his house
with the hand that held his hat. "It has
boon 90 years since I asked you before.

Capture of Havana, 176P.
It was on July 80 that a breach was
suooessfully made, but so narrow was it as
to admit but one man at a time, and it
was but the impetuosity of the British sol-
diers that enabled the work to be stormed
and captured. Equally brave, however,
were the defenders, who sold, their lives
most dearly and .left dead .or wounded up-
on the ground most of their number, in -
eluding more than one of their chief lead-
en. Conspicuous among these were the
Marquis do Gonzalez, the Spaniard second
in command, who was killed, and one
Don Luis de Velasco, the commander of
the Spanish ship -of -war, the Heine, who
established himself in an inner intrench-
ment with about 100 men, and, after
offering a most determined resistance, boll
mortally wounded.
With the fall of Fort Morro, the chief de-
fense of Havana, Dame of necessity the fall
of that city, for, although the Spanish
commander, true to the teethe the instinots
of a soldier, refused at first the terms offer-
ed him by Albemarle with a view to spar-
ing unnecessary loss of life, the bombard-
ment of the pity, which his refusal en-
tailed, placed the issue beyond doubt.
Commenced on Aug. 10, this bombard-
ment by 45 Dannon and eight mortars,
among which were ten 89 pounders man-
ned by seamen, resulted in the entry into
Havana of the victorious British foroes on
the 14th of the month. -Nineteenth Cen-
tury.
Coff a and Coffee Heart.
Coffee drinking to excess is more injuri-
ous to the human system than overindul-
gence in whisky, the medical direotor of a
Pennsylvania insurance company has told
a Philadelphia Ledger reporter. Its effect
is in shortening the long beat of the heart,
and medical examiners for Insurance com-
panies have added the term"coffee heart"
to their peculiar classification of the func-
tional derangements of that organ. These
physicians advise that the use of coffee be
limited to two pups a day. Coffee topers,
they say, are plentiful and are as much
tied to their pups as the whisky toper. The
effect of the coffee upon the heart is more
lasting and consequently worse than that
of liquor. It is a powerful stimulant, and
in certain oases of extreme weakness la
more valuable than liquor. As a beverage
it is important to use it only at the close
of a meal, when it is said to assist diges-
tion. In this respect it is unlike tea,
which by its tannic acid prevents diges-
tion. -New York Post.
Surfacing Natural Wood.
White pine, birch, cherry, whitewood,
maple, sycamore, gum and hemlock need
no filling at all. They are classed as the
close grained woods, and their surface
presents no pores or cellular time to be
filled. Still the surface needs to be sealed
up so the wood will not suck the oil out
of the varnish. This is called surfacing.
It consists of coating the surface with
shollae, and then sandpapering down to a
smooth finish. When thus treated the wood
is ready for the varnish. -Exchange.
