BROAD STREET, LITITZ. 23my-ly AUNT KATE. DR.COEX'S SANTONINE WORM SYRUP Is the most pleasant and certain Vermi-fuge known to medical science. Trya bottle. Price 25 cents. These Remedies are prepared only at Dr. H. N. Coxe's Laboratory, Schuyl-kill Haven, Pa., and sold by all Respectable Dealers' 28sep-fim Being a boy and only fifteen, of course I could not be expected to un-derstand trouble very well. But Aunt Kate was just the bright-est, happiest little woman I ever saw before mother died. She was a teacher, and I know that many of the little comforts about our home came from her salary. Oh bless-ed Aunt Kate. But mother died one day. Such days and nights of sorrow as followed her death I pray heaven we may never be called to suffer again— Aunt Kate and I. Shekept up brave-ly while people came and went and tried to be sorry for her, but when they were all gone then she crept up to the room where mother lay, and I sat humbly staring into the darkness, and she fell down on the lounge and lay there so still I could scarcely tell which figure was furthest froin life. Poor Aunt Kate! . When the sad funeral was over and we sat together in the twilight, silent and still, with our four hands clasped, as though we fain would comfort one another, a man walked in unannounc-ed, through the shadows, and sat down near us. It was Mr. Aytown, from the neigh-boring village of Oak Station. •• He had often been to our house be-fore. I knew tie came to see Aunt Kate, so I shrank away behind the window curtain, laid my face down on my arm, and was soon, I suppose, fast asleep. I awoke at last, with my arm aching, and heard a low sound of voices in the room. " I cannot give you up in this way, Kate," the man was saying. " Let me, at least, share your cares and bur-dens until you can reasonably lay them aside." Aunt Kate's voice was very calm and low as she answered him : " No, Francis ; right is right. You would naturally grow weary of respon-sibilities that were not your own. But my sister's children are mine hence-forth, and there are secrets in her life, transmitted now to mine, which I can-not eyen share with you. Please do not make my path harder than it otherwise would be by importunities which I cannot answer. There was silence for a tiue, and then the man said bitterly : " If you love me Katharine, you would not talk in that way." " Perhaps not." Aunt Kate's voice was lower, almost a whisper. " I am sorry to make you feel bad, but " " You think I had better leave, and you do not wish to tell me so. Is that all?" That is all." " Kate—If you need a friend—and I can serve you—will you let me know?" " Yes." I wandered if he kissed her; I could not see through the gloom; but after he was gone a great sob struggled up to her lips, and again she fell down like one in a swoon. She went to work again in a few days at teaching, and every hour when she was out of school she used to write and write. I knew that her pieces sold and she wanted more lin^e to give to them. But the drudgery of school life held her and she could not escape from it. Slowly, slowly she was wear-ing out. I wanted to help her. I wanted her to let me leave school and go to work, but she begged me so hard to stay in school, because father might come home, and he could not want to find his boy ignorant and broken down witli work. I listened when a hard-faced man, who often came to the house, was talking with Aunt Kate. I heard about debts yfejt to be paid and legal trouble-to be settled. Then I made up my mind, and the next morning, when Aunt Kate went to school, I started off to find Mr. Antowy. I had a long search, but I found him at last. He had moved his store to another town, thirty miles away, and was living like a hermit, or a misanthrope, all by himself. I was glad of that. It would have been so much worse if he was married, you know; but I walked into the store and called him by name. He did not recognize me at first, but I told him who I was, and he looked at me under his wrinkled eyebrows and: "Did she—your aunt—send you here?" "No, sir, " I answered promptly; " she did not know I was coming, but she is working too hard and I want to help her. Now, if you will take me into your store and give me $5 a week I can take pare of Kittle my-self, and you can take care of Aunt Kate. See?" - » He laughed a little, short, hard laugh and said : " It is not so bad, you trying to take care of your self, boy, but your terms are rather extravagant, and I doübt if you can stay here anyway. Does she want you to leave school ?" " No, sir. She wants me to finish my education, so when father comes home I can go to work with him." "What!" he said, sharply, "I thought your father was dead ?" "So I thought," I answered him, and so does nearly every one think ; but I remember, now, that mother did not think so. She always watched for hjm, and Aunt Kate knows more about it than she says. I expect he went away and left a lot of money to be paid, and these women thought they could pay it and then he would come home." " You have some queer notions," Mr. A. said, and then he asked me a lot of questions about my, father and grandfather and about mother too, and Aunt Kate, and then he went to his desk and took out some papers and said: " Here, take this home to your Aunt Kate. Tell her that it was her pride that has kept me from understanding her position all this while; that I never intend to injure anybody, and if she wants to see me she has only to write." " And you will not give me $5 a week?" I asked, for I was awfully disappointed. He laughed again—a pleasenter laugh this time and said : " Ask her ?" So I went home again and gave her the .papers to read, and she cried and said : " My brother—my dear brother!" and all the while she was glad, she said, though she still kept crying. At last Mr. Aytown came without being sent for, and they talked a long while. It was about some papers that had been intrusted to somebody, and father lost them and was afraid to own it. It was something about the bank where Mr. Aytown was president, and the papers were found and brought to him, and he put them away and said nothing, and father went away and liyed in fear, expecting a lot of trouble,'and Aunt Kate kept it all to herself and wouldn't say a word. And father came home, very sad and troubled, grieved beyound all words that his home was broken up and his wile gone from his sight for-ever. He put his hand on my head and said : " If I have erred, my boy, I did it for your sake. I could not bear the thought of that disgrace or even suspicion should rest upon the father of my phild." I said : ( " Poor father, you have lots of trouble, but I think we will work together after this." And so there was a wedding at our house one night. The parties were Mr. and Mrs. Aytown, but the bridé was dear Aunt Kate. The Largest Draw-Bridge 111 the W o r l d . The great railroad bridge; crossing the Thames River at New London, Connecticut, which is now almost completed, is the largest draw bridge in the world. The Thames River is a tidal estuary about fourteen miles long. The Niantic 'and Shetucket rivers enter it at its head near which is the town of Norwich. New London is near its mouth. The hew bridge is at a narrow portion of the inlet, where it diminishes to 1,500 feet in width, yet the tide to be resisted necessitated great skill in engineering, and the central piers had to be weighted extraordinarily. The central draw-span of the bridge affords two cl ar openings of 225 feet each in width. The great width is exacted by the United States government, which possesses a naval station above the bridge, and requires that the channel shall not be too much obstructed. The draw can be swung through the entire circle, and when opened for the passage of a vessel can be rotating <is the vessel passes through, thus closing without reversal. The superstructure is built entirely of steel, and is calculated to bear a live load of 3,000 pounds to the lineal foot of railway tracks, with the superadded weight of two locomotive engines. It has two tracks it entire length, and the trains of the Shore Line on the Boston and Providence route will cross it, instead of being ferried across the estuary as hitherto. A S a f e Guard—Always on Duty, Thousands make'a practice of taking Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy,, of Rondout, NY Y., when-ever they have symptoms of possible sickness, and through the prompt action of this remarkable medicine they are really never ill. It is a per-fect safeguard against all forma of malaria, sick and nervous headache, palpitation, dyspepsia and heartburn. He Had Traveled. A young man with a great deal of hat and a small amount of grip-sack came into the depot on a train the other day and walking through the hackstand he said to the driver of a vehicle: " I want to go to the Wayne hotel." "Yes, sir." "The ordinance gives you fifty Cents." " It does." " Here's your money. I've traveled a bit, I have, and I know what's what. Don't try any gum games on me." - " No sir—get right in." The stranger entered the hack, the driver drove across the street and got down and opened the door, and as the stranger saw how he had fooled him-self he looked as- flat as chalk and muttered: "Yes—I see—-just across the street. I've traveled, I have, but I guess I was on the wrong train." As S h a r p as t h e Lawyer. An old plasterer is called upon to give evidence for the plaintiff. Counsel for the defendant tries to bully him. " Your name is John Smith ?" "Yes." "Are you the same John Smith that was sentenced to eight years' imprisonment for using bad lan-guage ?" " No." " Are you the same John Smith who was sentenced to a couple years hard labor for theft ?" " No, that wasn't me, either." " Then you have never been in prison ?" " Yes, twice." " Ah ! and how long the first time ?" " One whole afternoon." " What! —and the second time ?" " Only one hour." " And pray, what offence had you committed to deserve so small a punishment ?" " I was sent to prison to whitewash a cell to accommodate a lawyer who had cheated one of his clients." (Cross-examination collapsed.) Home Ijove. The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words leit unsaid and deeds left undone. " She never new howl loved her." " He never knew what he was to me." " I always meant to make more of our friendship." "I never knew what he was to me till he was gone." Such words are the poisoned arrows which Death shoots backward at us. How much more might we make of our family life, of our friendships, if every secret thought of love blossomed into a deed ! We are not speaking of personal caresses. These may or may not be the best language of affection. —But there are words and looks and little observances, thoughtfulness, Watchful little attentions, which speak of love, which make manifest, and there is scarcely a family that might not be richer in heart wealth for more of them. I t W a s n ' t There. I was out on the south veranda half an hour before breakfast, when a young lady and her mother came out and hailed a newsboy and bought a Philadelphia paper. " Suppose it isn't in here ?" queried the girl as she opened the paper. " Oh, it's sure to be," replied the mother. " Didn't father write out the notice himself -and send it to the office?" " But it's not here—-not a word of it!" shrieked, the young lady as she hastily scanned the Atlantic City personals." " What! Doesn't it say that the handsome and accomplished daughter of Judge Waxera, of No. 920 Shacka-jacksen avenue, left for the seashore last evening to be gone a month, and that she will be the bright star around which Atlantic City sooiety will re-volve for the next few weeks?" " Not a line—not a word. I am totally ignored." "It looks like a conspiracy, my child, but wait. Get me a telegraph blank and I'll raise your father out of his boots and see whether he has any influence over the mendacious press of Philadelphia." Where Rest Was Needed. " Say, Samsinger, I hear you people have sent your pastor to Europe for a long vacation. Why, I saw him last week, and a stronger, healthier look-ing man I never want to see. He doesn't need a rest." " I should say not! we sent him away to give the congregation one." "When Baby tras aiek, wo g»T® her Caatoria, When she was a Child, she cried for Caatoria, When she became Mias, she clang to Caatoria, When she had Children, she gave them Castoria He Got His Sweetheart, '• So you will not lend me the money ?" asked Edward Stone of his gruff old uncle. " I will give you instead a bit of advice," said the old man, " if you will take it." " Very well," said the nephew in a disappointed voice. " Go back to your store and save $3 a week out of your salary. Learn in the meantime all you can of business. At the end of four years you will haye the capital you seek and it will be doubly valued because you have earn-ed it. Then come and see ifie again. I dare say you'd rather have the money than the advice," as the other turned to go. " But hold on, you've got time to take tea before the train starts, and I want you to see my little housekeeper. Polly!" he called, and a bright, rosy-cheeked girl tripped in, while Edward's face flushed painfully. " Polly," continued her father, this is your cousin Edward. He leaves on the 6 train; make his short stay as pleasant as possible " At the request of her father, who was very fond of his daughter's varied accomplishments, Mary sang and played for her cousin, and his visit ended in singular contrast to the stormy way it commenced. Edward refused the $5 note tendered to him by his uncle at parting for his travel-ing expenses. The old man smiled as he returned the note to his pocketbook. " He's a sensible young chap, after all," he remarked to his daughter, as the door closed after their guest. " It's in him, if it can only be brought out. We shall see, we shall see." " A good deal for father to say," was Mary's inward comment, who thought her cousin the most agreeable young man she had ever met. Three years later Mr. Stone and his daughter paused in front of a small, but neat and pleasant looking shop, on the plate-glass door of which were these words: "Edward Stone, Sta-tionery and Book Store." It being too early in the day for customers they found the proprietor alone, and his face flushed with pride and pleasure as he greeted them. " I got your card, nephew," said the old man with a cordial grasp of the hand, " and called around to see how you were getting oh. I thought it was about time I gave you the little lift you asked of me three years ago. You don't look much as if you needed it, though." " Not at present, thank you, uncle," was the cheerful response. " Curious-ly enough, it is the same business that I wanted to buy then. * The man who took it had to borrow money to pur-chase it with, getting so much involved that he had had to sell at a sacrifice." " Just what you wanted to do." Edward smiled at the point made by his uncle. " It isn't what I've done, though. I have saved $4 a week from my salary for the last three years, and so was not only able to pay the money down, but had $50 be-sides." " Bravo! my boy," cried the de-lighted old man, with another grasp of the hand that made our hero wince. " I am proud of you! You are bound to succeed, I see, and without any-body's help. I told your Cousin Polly that when she was-eighteen I'd buy her a house in the city ; that she should iurnish it to suit herself, and have all the servants she wanted, and I've kept my word. Come 'round and see us whenever you can. You'll al-ways £nd the latchstring out." Edward did not fail to accept the invitation so frankly extended—a very pleasant intimacy growing up between the three during the twelve months that followed. On Christmas eve the old man en-tered the room where his daughter and Edward were sitting, and said: " I must not delay any longer the 'little lift' I promised you, nephew, and which you have well earned." Edward glanced from the $5,000 check to the lovely face at his side and then to that of the speaker. " You are very kind, uncle—-far kinder than I deserve, but I " "But what, lad? Speak out? Would you like it in some other form ?" Edward's fingers closed steadily and strongly over the hand he had taken in his. " Yes, uncle—in this." The old man looked keenly from one to the other, " You are asking a good deal, nephew. Polly, have you been en-couraging this young man in hi3 presumption ?" " I'm afraid I have, father,"" was the smiling response. The father's eyes moistened. "Then go, my daughter. I give you to a worthy keeping, and if you make your husband's heart as happy as your mother made mine during the few short years that she tarried by my side, he will be blessed indeed." A Dakota Heroine. Miss Lizzie Duffield, who has spent the past six years in South Dakota, was among the first young ladies to brave the hardships of claim life and take up land in Dakota, and she is now the fortunate owner of 820 acres of excellent farm land, half of which is a short distance iron Harold, Hyde Co. The other quarter section is near the thriving town of Aulkton, and all of which will certainly be valuable property in time. All the adventures of life far out upon the prairie, with the nearest neighbor a mile and a half distant, the perils in storm and flood and the danger of living alone for weeks at a time, have been undergone. She was one of those brave and reso-lute Dakota school teachers who, with a few pupils under her care, encoun-tered the awful storn of January 1888. During the long night which followed the dreadful blizzard, with scant fuel, she kept herself and the children from freezing only by the utmost exertion until all were rescued from their fear-' ful situation at 5 o'clock the next morning. Miss Duffield has gained an enviable reputation as a teacher. He Saw the Bull. A man out in the fields in a Con-necticut town wanted to inspect more closely a three-year-old bull. He bel-lowed at him and succeeded in attract-ing his attention. His bullship thought some of the neighboring bulls had got into his territory and came up with his head down and nostrils ex-tended and fire in his eye, prepared to fight, but fortunately for the man there happened to be an apple tree close at hand, which he succeeded in dodging behind just as the bull made a dive at him, striking the tree plumb in the centre, which luckily was just the right size to fit between his horns, thus holding him fast for a moment, which gave the frightened man a chance to use his horns as a step-lad-der, thus enabling him to climb the tree, where he amused himself by throwing apples at the infuriated bull, who stood underneath pawing the dirt and bellowing until his owner came after the cows in the evening and drove him away. Preservation of the Eyesight. The best preservative of eyesight is outdoor exercise. A cold bath every morning stimulates the circulation, and with an active bounding of the blood through the arteries assimilation and elimination bring about good results. Heated rooms with poor illumina-tion are a prolific source of weak eyes. Reading or writing with the light falling on thre page and reflecting its rays into the eyes often brings about a spasm of the little muscles which govern the accommodation, and the result is to exhaust the eyes. The light should always come from behind the individual, and fall obliquely over the left shoulder. People who indulge in overfeeding, are careless about clothing, travel with damp feet, or dine irregularly, all suffer sooner or later from defective vision. A habit quite common among fashionable ladies, to whom nature has denied a black or brown eye, is to seek the secrets of the chemist's shop, and apply a weak solution of bella-donna or homatropine to dilate the pupil and render the cornea more brilliant, Even the cologne bottle has been drained of its contents to give brilliancy to the eye. Such habits are only to be spoken of to be condemned. Let.the natural lubricant oe the only cosmetic used. See that ducts are kept healthy by proper means and nature will then do her duty. A J o k e on a Car Driver. The driver of a Philadelphia street car relates the following joke on him-self ; " Those traveling salesman are full of tricks. One of 'em played a a good joke on me last night. I had a carload of lady passengers on the down trip, and I saw a chap pull a ci-gar out of his pocket and stick it in his mouth. I told him it was against the rules to smoke when there were ladies on the car, but he paid no at-tention to me. He pulled out a match and when I made a grab for it he pulled the cigar apart and it opened into a fan. Maybe they didn't laugh at me ; but it was a good sell, and I enjoyed it if the joke was on me." A Fortunate and Grateful Woman. Mrs. J. H. Giles, of Everett, Pa., says : " I suffered for years from kid-ney and gravel trouble. No physi-cians or medicine at home did me any good. I finally visited my former home at Rondout, N. Y., and began using Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, of Rondout, N. Y. A few words tell the result. J am a perfectly well and happy woman once more. Short Cuts. The language of the deaf mute ; without saying. An electric spark—making love by telephone. The shoe dealer who will do Work which is beneath other people. Every fat man has a theory on how to dispose of thé surplus. The bad small boy, when his moth-er calls, is like the echo. He answers but he doesn't come. It is a little singular, to say the least, that after a man has been paint-ing the town red he usually feels blue. When a man affirms that " there's lots of money in leather don't dispute him—purses are made of leather. A pocketbook made of rattlesnake hide, which is so repulsive to ladies that they wont touch it, is having quite a sale among married men. It Would Seem so.—Ted—" Is love really blind ?" Ned—" I suppose so. You know a fellow seldom goes to see his girl until it's dark." The doctors are doing their best to convince the public that ice water is dangerous. Perhaps it is, but then, so are whisky, and toy pistols, aud matrimony, and lots of things. Inventor—" I would like to get you interested in my improved fly-paper." Capitalist—" What makes you think it will be successful ?" Inventor— " Because it's gotten up in imitation of a bald head." In a St. Louis hospital a man re-cently had a dream which covered six months' time and 10,000 miles of travel. There is a great deal of sight seeing embraced in a drink of St. Louis whiskey. Wife—" I'll take the $20 you gave me and buy my bonnet thir morning, dear, as you want what's left to get your hat." Husband—"All right, dearest. I'll go down at once and or-der a sixty cent hat for myself." A .good memory is a blessing, says a writer. And it may be remarked that it is one that wealth cannot buy. Just look at the man who has be-come suddenly rich. He cannot even . remember the faces of his old friends. Wife—"I suppose we'll have to send an invitation to those Evercomes to be at our party next week, but I hate to have them here. I wish I knew how to ayoid it. " Husband— " Send the invitation by a messenger boy. Then you have done your duty and they won't get it until after the party has occcurred. " Edward, why do I hear that you have disobeyed your grandmother, who told'you just now not to jump down these steps ?" " Grandma didn't tell me not to, papa. She only came to the door and said : " I wouldn't jump down those steps, boys." And I should not think she would—an old Jady like her !" A Millionaire's Phonetic Spelling. Hundreds of people stopped on Sun-day in front of an immense 12-story, $800,000 building now in course . of erection at No. 549 Broadway, New York, to read the following inscription printed on a piece of brown paper and secured to one of the iron pillars with a string: " He who bilds, owns and will occu-py this marvel of brick, iron and grauit, thirteen years ago walked the streets peniless and fifty thousand in det—only to prove that the capitalist of to da wer poor men twenty years ago, and that many a fellow lacing poverty to-da ma be a capitalist a quarter of a century hence if he wil. Pluck, adorned with ambition, backed by honor, grit, will always command success even without the almighty do!- ar.—Chailes Broadway Rouss." Mr. Rouss is an eccentric millionaire who is in the wholesale auction dry goods business. He came to this city form Winchester, Va., in 1866, with-out a dollar and heavily in debt. A keen business sense, aided by an inde-fatigable determination and unswerv-ing integrity, soon resulted in his abun - dant prosperity. He is a member of an association for the encouragement of phonetic spelli ng. A Vain Search. Yellowly—" Why, Brownly, how bad you look this morning. Did you sleep any last night?" Brownly—" Not a wink." Yellowly—" Anybody sick ?" Brownly—" I am." Yellowly—" What's the matter ?" Browuly—" Well, you see my wife has been in the habit of going thr ugh my pockets at night, and I thought what was good for the gander was. good for the goose, so after she fell asleep last night I arose and set out to go through her pocket." Yellowly-—" Get anything ?" Brownly—"No. Searched the dres& over and over, spent the whole night at it, but couldn't find the pocket."

Being a boy and only fifteen, of
course I could not be expected to un-derstand
trouble very well.
But Aunt Kate was just the bright-est,
happiest little woman I ever saw
before mother died.
She was a teacher, and I know that
many of the little comforts about our
home came from her salary. Oh bless-ed
Aunt Kate.
But mother died one day.
Such days and nights of sorrow as
followed her death I pray heaven we
may never be called to suffer again—
Aunt Kate and I. Shekept up brave-ly
while people came and went and
tried to be sorry for her, but when
they were all gone then she crept up to
the room where mother lay, and I sat
humbly staring into the darkness, and
she fell down on the lounge and lay
there so still I could scarcely tell
which figure was furthest froin life.
Poor Aunt Kate!
. When the sad funeral was over and
we sat together in the twilight, silent
and still, with our four hands clasped,
as though we fain would comfort one
another, a man walked in unannounc-ed,
through the shadows, and sat down
near us.
It was Mr. Aytown, from the neigh-boring
village of Oak Station. ••
He had often been to our house be-fore.
I knew tie came to see Aunt
Kate, so I shrank away behind the
window curtain, laid my face down on
my arm, and was soon, I suppose, fast
asleep. I awoke at last, with my arm
aching, and heard a low sound of
voices in the room.
" I cannot give you up in this way,
Kate," the man was saying. " Let
me, at least, share your cares and bur-dens
until you can reasonably lay them
aside." Aunt Kate's voice was very
calm and low as she answered him :
" No, Francis ; right is right. You
would naturally grow weary of respon-sibilities
that were not your own. But
my sister's children are mine hence-forth,
and there are secrets in her life,
transmitted now to mine, which I can-not
eyen share with you. Please do
not make my path harder than it
otherwise would be by importunities
which I cannot answer.
There was silence for a tiue, and
then the man said bitterly :
" If you love me Katharine, you
would not talk in that way."
" Perhaps not." Aunt Kate's voice
was lower, almost a whisper. " I am
sorry to make you feel bad, but "
" You think I had better leave, and
you do not wish to tell me so. Is that
all?"
That is all."
" Kate—If you need a friend—and
I can serve you—will you let me
know?"
" Yes." I wandered if he kissed
her; I could not see through the
gloom; but after he was gone a great
sob struggled up to her lips, and again
she fell down like one in a swoon.
She went to work again in a few
days at teaching, and every hour when
she was out of school she used to write
and write. I knew that her pieces
sold and she wanted more lin^e to give
to them. But the drudgery of school
life held her and she could not escape
from it. Slowly, slowly she was wear-ing
out. I wanted to help her. I
wanted her to let me leave school and
go to work, but she begged me so hard
to stay in school, because father might
come home, and he could not want to
find his boy ignorant and broken down
witli work.
I listened when a hard-faced man,
who often came to the house, was
talking with Aunt Kate. I heard
about debts yfejt to be paid and legal
trouble-to be settled. Then I made
up my mind, and the next morning,
when Aunt Kate went to school, I
started off to find Mr. Antowy.
I had a long search, but I found
him at last. He had moved his store
to another town, thirty miles away,
and was living like a hermit, or a
misanthrope, all by himself. I was
glad of that.
It would have been so much worse
if he was married, you know; but I
walked into the store and called him
by name. He did not recognize me
at first, but I told him who I was,
and he looked at me under his
wrinkled eyebrows and:
"Did she—your aunt—send you
here?"
"No, sir, " I answered promptly;
" she did not know I was coming, but
she is working too hard and I want
to help her. Now, if you will take
me into your store and give me $5 a
week I can take pare of Kittle my-self,
and you can take care of Aunt
Kate. See?" -
» He laughed a little, short, hard
laugh and said :
" It is not so bad, you trying to
take care of your self, boy, but your
terms are rather extravagant, and I
doübt if you can stay here anyway.
Does she want you to leave school ?"
" No, sir. She wants me to finish
my education, so when father comes
home I can go to work with him."
"What!" he said, sharply, "I
thought your father was dead ?"
"So I thought," I answered him,
and so does nearly every one think ;
but I remember, now, that mother did
not think so. She always watched for
hjm, and Aunt Kate knows more
about it than she says. I expect he
went away and left a lot of money to
be paid, and these women thought
they could pay it and then he would
come home."
" You have some queer notions,"
Mr. A. said, and then he asked me a
lot of questions about my, father and
grandfather and about mother too,
and Aunt Kate, and then he went to
his desk and took out some papers
and said:
" Here, take this home to your Aunt
Kate. Tell her that it was her pride
that has kept me from understanding
her position all this while; that I
never intend to injure anybody, and if
she wants to see me she has only to
write."
" And you will not give me $5 a
week?" I asked, for I was awfully
disappointed. He laughed again—a
pleasenter laugh this time and said :
" Ask her ?"
So I went home again and gave her
the .papers to read, and she cried and
said :
" My brother—my dear brother!"
and all the while she was glad, she
said, though she still kept crying.
At last Mr. Aytown came without
being sent for, and they talked a long
while. It was about some papers that
had been intrusted to somebody, and
father lost them and was afraid to
own it. It was something about the
bank where Mr. Aytown was president,
and the papers were found and
brought to him, and he put them
away and said nothing, and father
went away and liyed in fear, expecting
a lot of trouble,'and Aunt Kate kept
it all to herself and wouldn't say a
word.
And father came home, very sad
and troubled, grieved beyound all
words that his home was broken up
and his wile gone from his sight for-ever.
He put his hand on my head
and said :
" If I have erred, my boy, I did it
for your sake. I could not bear the
thought of that disgrace or even
suspicion should rest upon the father
of my phild."
I said : (
" Poor father, you have lots of
trouble, but I think we will work
together after this."
And so there was a wedding at our
house one night. The parties were
Mr. and Mrs. Aytown, but the bridé
was dear Aunt Kate.
The Largest Draw-Bridge 111 the
W o r l d .
The great railroad bridge; crossing
the Thames River at New London,
Connecticut, which is now almost
completed, is the largest draw bridge
in the world. The Thames River is a
tidal estuary about fourteen miles
long. The Niantic 'and Shetucket
rivers enter it at its head near which
is the town of Norwich. New London
is near its mouth. The hew bridge
is at a narrow portion of the inlet,
where it diminishes to 1,500 feet in
width, yet the tide to be resisted
necessitated great skill in engineering,
and the central piers had to be
weighted extraordinarily. The central
draw-span of the bridge affords two
cl ar openings of 225 feet each in
width.
The great width is exacted by the
United States government, which
possesses a naval station above the
bridge, and requires that the channel
shall not be too much obstructed.
The draw can be swung through the
entire circle, and when opened for the
passage of a vessel can be rotating
