•RECORD OFFICE,
Lititz, Lane. Co., ^ k
IN" a little clump of trees, modestly
withdrawn from the dusty high
road by a couple of hundred yards,
and looking uncommonly like a white
bandbox dropped by mistake on the
hillside, stood the English church at
Mutra. It was a squat and insignifi-cant
building, quite unworthy to be
dignified with so grand a name, and
the simplicity of its interior correspond-ed
in lack of beauty and decoration
with its whitewashed and unadorned
outward appearance.
The door stood wide open, and Haji
Mula, who acted in the amalgamated
capacity of clerk, bellringerand church-cleaner,
was busy with a broom on the
steps of the entrance. A party of peo-ple
sauntering along the road below
glanced up, attracted by this white-clad
figure outlined against the dark
doorway.
'Let's go up and explore the,
church," said a girl's clear voice; " we
shall have the advantage of a few mo-ments'
shade at all events, and it will
serve to while away the time till tiffin
is ready."
So saying, she led the way up the
narrow pathway through the gate.
She was in riding dress, as were also
five or six people who accompanied
her, and the well-cut habit showed off'
to advantage her pretty, rounded
figure, while even the unbecoming
shape of her sun topi could not entire-ly
conceal the charming face of its
wearer, and her charming, roguish eyes
and laughter-curling lips.
I hope your conscience pricks you,
Miss Verner, and suggests that this
is a fitting moment for some religious
exercise," said the man who followed
in her footsteps, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed
giant, in whose voice the slight
burr betrayed the Hibernian extraction.
The girl flashed back at him a pro-vocative
glance from under her long,
dark, curling lashes. "We are part-ners
in iniquity, at all events, Capt.
Fitzgerald, so you had better come
along with me at once and say a little
prayer or two on your own behalf."
Oh, come now—-" he expostulat-ed;
"wasn't it you who threw them
together at first, and cast the poor man
at the siren's mercy ?"
But it was she who betted her she
could not succeed in bringing Maj.
Brooke to the point. If you had not
said that she would never have taken
the trouble to lure the unhappy wretch
to his fate."
They had reached the porch by this
time, whence Haji, leaning to the
broom, had been steadfastly regarding
them; but he resumed his sweeping as
they passed on into the church follow-ed
by some others of the party; though
he kept his solemn eyes still fixed upon
two people who lingered by the gate.
There a man was talking earnestly to a
tall, handsome woman with sparkling
black eyes and a splendid figure, who
bore herself with the air of an Amazon
queen well accustomed to conquest.
Gertrude Shawe was in truth an expert
in the art of rapid slaughter—she rode
roguishly over her victims, carrying
away their hearts in trophy without
casting one backward glance of pity at
them as she went on her way vic-torious.
The latest to succumb to her
charms was the man beside her, Maj.
John Brooke, of the Royal Wessex
Regiment, now quartered in the plain
beneath, where a white line showed
faintly on the line of the horizon some
15 miles away. He was speaking in
low, earnest tones to the beautiful
woman who leant with smiling in-souciance
over the gate, where she
carelessly switched her riding whip
amongst the shrubs at its side. But
his pleading was evidently in vain.
I am sorry," she answered, with
calm unstudied brevity; "it is im-possible;
to tell you the truth there is
some one else with a prior and stronger
claim."
She turned with a light laugh toward
hiixi, but it died on her lips as she
recognized the meaning of the expres-sion
in his grave, gray eyes.
You mean to say that you have
played with me, Miss Shawe?" he said
with bitterness; " n o doubt the game
has proved an amusing one to you—to
me it appears but a poor jest."
I am sorry," she reiterated, this
time with an increase of hauteur added
to her voice; then turning abruptly she
passed slowly up the path away from
him. She stood for a moment within
the doorway looking into the empty
church and listening to the sound of
laughter mixed with loud expostulat-ing
voices, which evidently emanated
from the vestry beyond the altar, in
her eyes a look of triumph mingled
with a struggling expression of annoy-ance,
which in a less assured person
might have suggested a feeling of some
self-contempt.
" What are you all doing in here?"
she asked a moment later, from the
vestry roor. The group of people with-in
turned startled gla,nces toward her
and a sudden silence fell upon them;
then Capt. Fitzgerald closed a heavy
book lying before him on the table
with an emphatic bang.
"Oh, I 'm sick of this!" cried Maud
Verner, springing from her seat beside
him; "let's travel! tiffin must be ready
by this time. I'll race you all to the
bungalow." And away she went like
a wild thing out of the church, follow-ed
by the whole pack of her giddy, jest-ing
companions. They melted out of
sight in a few minutes, leavihg Haji and
the church once more to their accus-tomed
dignified repose.
Mrs. Brooke put down her teacup
with an air of puzzled surprise.
" A year ago ! but how did you know
about me then ?" she asked, in a re-flective
tone.
" I t was very curious, quite a coincl
dence, in fact," replied her companion
"Do you know we were married
the same place and church, and on the
same day of the month, September 13.
only with a lapse of a year between our
wedding days. I had been awfully ill
so they sent up there to fetch me, and
we were married at Mutra, and went
straightaway to England."
For a moment Mrs. Brooke remain
ed silent. She still appeared mystified
"But I don'.t think I quite under-stand
you, Mrs. Agar," she said
hesitatingly, at last. She was an ashy,
pretty little woman, and did not wish
to appear irresponsive to her com-panion's
expression of interest. They
both quite lately arrived at Bangalore;
had met a couple of times before this,
and had speedily struck up the prelim-inaries
of a strong friendship.
" I am afraid I 'm dreadfully ignor-ant,"
she continued. " I don't even
know where Mutra is, but I have an
idea Jack was quartered there before I
met liini in Bombay."
"But .surely I could not be mistaken,
protested Mrs. Agar, it was evidently
her turn now to be surprised. "Were
you .not married at Mutra two years
ago, in that little white church on the
hill?"
Mrs. Brooke shook her head.
" Well, it is very extraordinary !"
said her friend, staring at her with an
incredulous smile on her face.
But why do you ask? What makes
you think I was married at Mutra?"
demanded Mrs. Brooke.
" I read the names there myself, in
the register, they came just before us,
and the page was so terribly blotted and
smudged that it attracted our attention.
September 13 was the date—John
Ormsby Brooke , to Gertrude Emilia
Shawe, and then the names of the wit-nesses."
"My husband's name is certainly
John Ormsy Brooke; but I was Alice
Mainwaring, and we were married six
months ago in Bombay, where I was
living with my sister, Mrs. Arthur
Brooks, who is married to Jack's cousi n;
and I met my husband in their house
just after I came out from old England.
Dear old Jack! I shall chaff him
about this, and tell him he has got
another wife at Mutra. But it is
curious about the name. I did not
know there was another John Ormsby
Brooke in existence. I am sure he
can't be a patch on my .lack !" She
laughed, and changed the subject; but
Mrs. Agar had become suddenly pen-sive,
the conversation flagged, and soon
after Mrs. Brooks took her departure.
That evening Mrs. Agar repeated
their conversation to her husband and
a few friends who were dining with
them.
"Deuced odd!" he commented, "I
remember the names distinctly; and
when we pointed out the blots to the
padre, he remarked that it must have
been the last .ceremony at which his
predecessor could have officiated, for he
had been killed out riding a few days
later.
The Wessex Regiment was quar-tered
near Mutra before it came here,"
remarked a thin, yellow-faced man
sitting next Mrs. Agar, "and Sir
Reginald Shawe was in command there
at that time. This daughter was a
notorious flirt, a regular man-eater, and
poor old Lord Mendip will have a live-ly
time of it with her !"
Oh, of course !" interposed a buxon
lady on the other side of the table. " I
wondered why the name seemed
familiar. Gertrude Shawe was the
handsome girl who was so much talked
about last year at Poona; she is going
to marry that dreadful old Lord Men-dip,
who, they say followed her out
there from England. I know her
name is Gertrude, because someone at
Poona made up a silly rhyme about
" 'A young lady named Gertie
Whose conduct was flirty.' "
The next day, when John Brooke
entered the club he was buttonholed by
the yellow-faced man, the greatest
scandalmonger in Bangalore.
" I say, old chap, what's this strange
and horrible tale of bigamy that's go-ing
the round of Bangalore? Sly dog,
married at Mutra; handsome woman,
tool, Miss Gertrude Shawe! shows your
good taste. But how comes it that
she's to become my .Lady Mendip
while you've provided yourself with
another Mrs. Brooke?"
Major Brooke was at first inclined to
resent what he considered simply a
piece of pleasantry in somewhat bad
taste; but when Mr. Agar was sum-moned
reluctantly from the corner,
where he was reading, to give his
evidence, then his perplexity and con-sternation
grew in proportion to his
inability to give either a satisfactory
refutation or explanation of the matter.
Yes, he had certainly been at Mutra at
that time, September 13, two years
before. And with a pang of humilia-tion,
he recalled that moment by the
church gate, and seemed again to hear
the coldly mocking words, " I 'm sorry."
With a mind filled with anxious
forebodings, and with a feeling of some
dismay, he hurriedly left the club and
rode toward his home.
"Matters seem likely to become a
trifle complicated," said the yellow-faced
man with distinct satisfaction, as
he saw him take his departure.
• ' I wish to God we had held our
tongues," muttered Mr. Agar, who
was a kindly, good-natured civilian, on
good terms with himself and the rest
of the world.
" Gad," replied his companion, " his
wife's a charming little woman; strikes
me we'd be doing her a bad turn if we
let matflfers slide, and Lord Mendip
wouldn't thank us, either, for keeping j
silent on the subject."
The ball once set rolling went swift-ly
on its way. The buxom lady who
had been present the night before at
Agars' dinner repeated the story, with
additions and fuller details on her own
account, to her- sixteen of twenty
dearest friends in Bangalore. Then
everybody was startled to hear that
little Mrs. Brooke had suddenly gone
off to join her sister in Bambay, and
the tongue of scandal wagged in still
more strident fashion on receiving that
piece of news.
John Brooke went about with a face
that looked as if it were carved out
of stone. Hi had written at once to
Mutra, and awaited the reply with
helpless presentiment of impending
disaster.
One day h i was sitting - in the
veranda at her house, talking to Mrs
Agar, who from the first had shown
the deepest sympathy toward these two
persons into whose home she had un-intentionally
been the means of casting
the apple of discord. A servant
brought out a card to her, she looked at
it curiously, while the man said
Lady wants to see you, very import-ant
!"
Mrs. Fitzgerald! I wonder who
she is," murmured Mrs. Agar.
A clear, bell-like voice sounded on
the threshold, and a very pretty wo-man
came toward them saying,

1 Oh, Major Brooke ! what can

my own fault—I wrote it in the book-am
so miserable, so utterly ashamed
of myself!" and hiding her face in her
hands, the Maud Verner of Mutra days
sank into a seat and sobbed convulsive-ly.
Confession, they say, is good for the
soul, but it was an exceedingly bitter
hour that followed for the frivolous,
thoughtless girl, who had traveled
there from Mutra to offer herself as
scapegoat for a wrong-doing in which
others had participated, less unworldly
and impulsive than herself.
So sincere was evidently her desire to
make amends for the thoughtless
though dangerous piece of mischief in
which she had been the principal de-linquent,
that unstinted forgiveness
was extended to her by the Brookes.
What Miss Gertrude Shawe may have
thought on the subject history telleth
not; but a full confession, signed and
delivered to her and Major Brooke,
satisfied all parties concerned;. the mat-ter
was judiciously hushed up; Alice
Brooke returned joyfully to her hus-band
at Bangalore; and another nine
days' wonder sooh distracted and
monopolized the ever busy uoice of
scandal.
In the marriage register at Mutra a
memorandum affirms that one entry
that had been made in error; and thus
ended without further disaster a matter
which, commenced in jest, might in
future years have assumed the grim
aspect of a crime.
How one of Scliweinfurth's Fol-lowers
Tried to Work a Community
About half a century ago a queer re-ligious
imposter of the Schweinfurth
stripe invaded the southeastern part of
Ohio, and for several months created a
great deal of excitement throughout
that section. Several well-to-do farmers
gave all their earthly possessions to the
new "Messiah," and he soon became
the center of quite a colony of deluded
followers.
One midnight night in June the
'messiah" was sitting in the veranda of
his Ohio " h e a v e n " smoking a pipe—
for he considered it not beneath his
dignity to enjoy the pleasures of this
life as he went along. A shrewd, hard
headed old farmer who lived a mile or
two down the road came shuffling up
the walk and respectfully doffing his
straw hat said: "Good evenin', mis
ter."
" I salute you, brother," responded
the messiah, without rising from his
seat or ceasing to send thé tobbacco
smoke upward.
" You'll excuse me mister," continued
the old man, but my folks have taken
quite an interest in you and my wife is
dead set on standin' right by you
through thick and thin."
"Amei>!" ejaculated the "messiah.'
"Now, see here," added the farmer.
I 'm a good deal worried about this
thing and I want you to give it to me
straight."
Yea, verily, brother, that will
do," replied the smoker.
Well, how about all this anyway ?
Is it true that you can perform mir-acles—
turn water into wine heal the
sick, walk on the water and do such
things as that ?"
"Yea, verily."
" You ain't jokin' ?"
"Nay, brother."
"And you can really do it—no mis-take
about it?"
Nay. »
Well," remarked the farmer. " I 'm
mighty glad of that. You'll have the
greatest chance of your lifetime to con-vert
a whole crowd of scoffers to-night.
A lot of the boys are gettin' together
now, and they'll be put up here in
few minutes. If you're dead sure
that you can walk on the water you
can convert the whole gang, for they're
goin' to take you down to Bascom's
mill pond to see you do it. But, of
course if you have any doubts about it,
you know, they won't be here yet for
about a quarter of an hour."
The caller bowed and went away.
The smoking suddenly ceased. And
the " messiah " disappeared about.as
suddenly as his last puff. Two years,
later he was heard from in Penn-sylvania,
but he never revisited Ohio.
The mystery of his sudden departure
was unsolved for many years, but the
old Buckeye farmer always chuckled
whenever the subject was mentioned.
, What. One Woman Thinks.
Happiness is a great beautifier.
Where there is variety there will be
folly.
Some people were born to worry.
People that are easily satisfied rarely,
make much progress.
And now the woman who owns a
front porch begins to put on airs.
Very often the man about whom a
girl talks the least is the one she cares
for most.
Even the bravest woman can't act
always as if life were a continual cake-walk.
I t is a positive cruelty to give a child
a name which will make it the laugh-ing
stock of its playmates.
The masculine woman is not so new
after all. Ciceii) tells us that once the
Roman women shaved and applied a
lotion to the skin to enable them to
grow whiskers.
Cradle of t h e J e w i s h Race.
The cradle of the Jewish race, we
learn from the Jewish World, is about
to be " rocked to its very foundations."
The cradle is Ur of the Chaldees, which
was identified by Sir Henry Rawlinson
half a century ago. The rocking will
take the shape of excavating the ruins
of this inland town, which once was a
seaport. The work has become neces-sary,
as the natives of Nasarieh, on the
opposite side of Euphrates, are quarry-ing
bricks from the ruins, and generally
betray a vandalistic disposition toward
the tablets and inscriptions.
A Joke on Posterity.
One of the "mysteries" of the
British Museum has just been explod-ed.
The authorities have opened a box
which has lain sealed in the Museum
since 1834, and have found that it con-tains—
nothing of interest to anyone.
Francis Douce, autiquary, died in
1834, leaving the bulk of his curiosities
to Oxford, and to the British Museum
this precious box, which he stipulated
must not be opened until 1900. For
66 years the box has remained intact.
Douce left everything worth having to
Oxford.

An Epidemic of Whooping Coa^h.
Last winter during an epidemic of

the disease, having severe coughing

Gutenberg Anniversary.
On June 23 next a festival will be
held at Mayence to commemorate the
500th anniversary of the birth of Gut-enburg,
the reputed inventor of the art
of printing. In this festival almost all
civilized nations will take part, and it
is to be hoped that the United States
will be dully represented. In con-nection
with this festival the founda-tions
of a Gutenberg Museum is
planned.
Encouraging Paternity.
The town of Givet, in the Ardennes,
taking steps to put an end to the
depopulation of France. Hereafter in
all town of fices first father of more
than three children and next married
men will be preferred to bachelors.
Prizes of $6 will be awarded yearly to
those parents who have sent the largest
number of children to school regularly,
and scholarship in the national schools
will be reserved for families only of
more than three children. Fathers of
families shall also have the preference
for admission to almshouses and old
people's houses.
The Danger o f Docking.
An English agricultural journal points
out the loss through docking, which is
now being sustained by certa.in stock
breeders, is becoming serious. The
great call remounts for the British
army in South Africa will doubtless
end this practice. Horses in hot coun-tries
are useless if they have not suf-ficient
tail to keep of the swarms of
flies. It is not only true as regards the
young horse, likely to be used for a
common trooper, but the higher class
animals such as used for chargers by
the officers.
Distinguished Speakers anil
turers will be Provided.
The Pennsylvania Chautauqua, at
Mt. Gretna, promises to be more en-tertaining
than any previous year. Dr.
Max Hark, the chancellor, has ar-ranged
an excellent program, and some
of the most prominent platform speak-ers
in the country have been engaged
and will appear before Chautauqua
audiences. The first week in July will
be given over largely to the Sunday
school teachers' training school, under
the auspicious of the state association,
and among the most notable lecturers
during the week will be Prof. Edward
Howard Griggs. July 4 will be a pa-triotic
day.
There will be class studies as usual,
the morning being mainly given to this
work, the afternoons and evenings de-voted
to popular entertainments.
Among some of the speakers who will
be present some time during the as-sembly
are Bishop John H. Vincent,
of the M. E. church and the father of
the Chautauqua idea; Hon. W. II.
Hensel, ex-attorney general'of Penn-sylvania;
Frank R. Roberson, who is
now in South Africa collecting ma-terial
and views for a lecture; Rev. Dr.
Perrine and Rev. Dr. Harris, both of
Bucknell university; Prof. Samuel
Schmucker, whose lectures 011 nature
have been immensely popular; Con-gressman
Brosius, Dr. Frank Starr, of
Chicago university, the eminent an-thropologist
and traveler, are a few
of those who have -been engaged for
lectures.
There will be two noteworthy lec-tures,
"The Wonders of Liquid Air"
and " Wireless Telegraphy," with illus-trations,
by Prof. Foster, of Temple
college, that should attract universal
attention. The cooking school will be
again in charge of MissColling,who was
so much liked last summer. Prof.
Crozier and Mrs. Roie Adams Grum-bine
will each give piano recitals, while
the musical entertainments throughout
will be of a very high order. The
Chautauqua inn will be in charge of
Mrs. Scott, a noted Philadelphia ca-terer,
and the cuisine will be excellent.
-To avoid the usual fees, George
Locher and Ella Baird married them-selves
in the presence of the Constable
and Commissioner's clerk at Tunkhan-nock.
The only expense connected
with the ceremony was the 50 cents
which had to be paid for the marriage
license. .
A11 Old Saw That is Senseless.
In olden times when a person died it
was customary to toll the church bell a
certain number of times to indicate
whether it was a woman or child,
says the Ladies Home Journal. For a
woman it was tolled three times. The
stroke of a bell was called a " teller,"
and hence it was nine tellers for a man;
as folks said in those days. " Nine
tellers mark a man." This saying,
which was continued long after the
tolling custom was abolished, finally
became converted into the present say-ing.
"Nine tailors make a man,"
which is devoid of both sense and rea-son.
What Do the Children Drink ?
Don't give them tea or coffee. Have you
tried the new food drink called Grain-
O ? It is delicious and nourishing
and takes the place of coffee. The more
Grain-0 you give the children the more
health you distribute through their
systems. Grain-O is made of pure
grains, and when properly prepared
tasts like the choice grades of coffee fcu
costs about | as much. All grocers sell
it. 15c. and 25c.

-The ancients believed that rheuma-tism
was the work of a demon within a
man. Any one who has had an attack
of sciatic or inflammatory rheumatism
will agree that the infliction is de-moniac
enough to warrant the belief.
I t has never been claimed that Cham-berlain's
Pain Balm would cast out
demons, but it will cure rheumatism,
and hundreds bear testimony to the
truth of this statement. One applica-tion
relieves the pain, and this quick
relief which it affords is alone worth
many, times its cost. For sale by James

A Cat's Long Jump.
How far can a cat jump without
h u r t i n g itself was partly exemplified
in Brooklyn the other night. A pretty
white cat ran up a tree to get away
f r om a dog and at last crawled out on
a small branch at least CO feet above
the ground. The branch was not much
more than a twig, and the cat could
not turn around. She sat up there
on the swaying limb and meowed. At
last the twig broke, and down came
the cat. She alighted on the ground
on her feet, looked around for a mo-ment
and then bounded away; which
shows that a GO foot drop does not hurt
ft. Brooklyn cat. whatever it might do
to cats of other places.—Pittsburg Dis-patch.
