PATTTSON, (I T.R. Agent, Clinton, F. R. IIODGENS, 'tiekot Agent, Clinton, 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.

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. A DOCTORS HOMAGE.
