A STRANGE STORY.
QUESTIONS WHICH HAUNT AN ENG
LISH ARMY OFFICER.
gt Witnessed » Deathbed Marriage, and
the Sequel. He Hellevea, Ha* Troubled
Him for Year«—Wait the Girl Hurled
All**?—W So. How Did She Reeover.
An English officer tells the following
strange and moat uncanny story, which
ought to be given as far mh possible iu bin
own wortis: "A great friend of mine, m fei
low named I) , one of "Our»,' wan en
gaged to the daughter of an old clergy
jnan in l«eice*ter*hire. They were awfully
in love with each other, and were to he
married in ten day»; he had asked me to
be his best man, and all the arrangement«
were completed for the wediling when be
received a telegraphic message from the
father of bis bride, to say that she had
been taken suddenly ill and to come at
once if he would see her alive.
"Of course he started for their place im
mediately, and was so completely cut up
about it that I went with him feeling that
he ought not to be alone in such a ootid i
tion of mind. We found the sad news only
too true; the poor girl was dying, and h . h
they both greatly desired that he might
have the right to be with her until the
«nd, the old rector performed the cere
mony, and they were made man and wife.
It was the most affecting thing 1 ever saw.
Her mother drew off her own wedding
ring, which the poor fellow placed on the
iinger of his broken lily of a bride, who
lay there so white and wan, the only calm
member of the agitated group.
"Three days afterward all was over.
Unable to l>ear his old life, D sent in his
papers and left the service. Kor several
years 1 completely lost trace of him; and
then, from an English surgeon who had
proffered his services to the German au
thorities during the Franco-Prussian war.
1 heard a tale so weird that it might well
seem impossible. Finding the monotony
of bis life unendurable, D , it seems, eu
tered the French army, and without much
difficulty, through his previous connec
tions, obtained a commission in one of the
regiments which had been ordered to the
Iront.
"After the battle of Sedan, among the
many who had l>een carried to the hospital
mortally wounded was D . 'Was it a
a vision?' be thought, that, as he lay dyiug,
he saw bending over him his old love, bis
dead wife, in the garb of a sister of the Ked
Cross. He saw the startled white face and
the deep blue eyes that he knew so well all
filled with an awakening wonder. There
was a sharp cry, and the sister swooned
away.
DEATH THIS TIME, ANYWAY.
"The surgeon in attendance hurried up.
and giving her in charge of some of the
other nurses, returned to the excited man,
who insisted that he had seen the face of
his dead wife. The shock was too much
for his enfeebled condition, his wound broke
out a freshaud in a few hours be was dead
"On leaving his patient, who no longer
required his services, the doctor found the
Red Cross nurse delirious with braiu fever.
Over and over agaiu she lived what seemed
-to be the last weeksof a previous existence.
She was a happy, promised bride—she waa
girlishly excited over her trosseau and
pretty presents—she talked proudly of her
handsome and devoted lover—and finally
of a solemn deathbed wedding. That was
all—over and over she seemed to live again
a former period of her life—but of the time
since the doctor had known her there came
sever • word.
"A year or two before he had been con
nected with one of the lx>n<lon hospitals,
and had been interested in this woman, who
had been brought there and placed In the
ward for the insane. The only point upon
which her mind seemed affected was that
she had no recollection of the past, and
seemed entirely oblivious of her own lden
tity. Her uame had been given as Mrs.
Clark, »""I the people who left her had
never appeared again.
"But ahe died without recovering eon
aciousness, and the mystery was unsolved.
Among D 's effects, however, the doc
tor found a letter directing that bis few
papers, etc., should be aent to me in case
of his death; and a photograph in a frame
which waa so marvelously like the dead
woman that he at once wrote and gave me
all the particulars, not only of D 's
death, bpt of Mrs. Clark's' life while an
der his observation.
the grays.
"He forwarded at the aame time a plain
gold ring, which waa on her finger when
she came to the hospital, and which had
simply a date of thirty years back en
graved inside the rim. Feeling that the
strange coincidence—for it could be noth
ing more—was hardly enough to warrant
me in disturbing the family by awakening
painful memories, 1 concluded at first to
say nothing about it; but the affair troubled
me, and at length I grew fairly haunted
with the idea that there was more in it all
) than 1 liked to think passible. I finally
found myself en route for the Leicester
shire village without any clear idea of what
I really Intended to da There 1 found
changea; the old rector and his wife had
both died; their ouly remaining child, a
son, had gone over to Canada, where hla
wife'» people lived. I knew no one, all
the fame were atrange to ine. I felt that
eerie aenae of living in the past, of having
nothing to do with the present, that cornea
over one sometimes.
"While waiting for the afternoon train
which waa to take me back, 1 wandered
into the churchyard and sought out the
gravea of the old couple and of my friend'a
bride. 'Mary' waa written on the head
stone, 'beloved wife and daughter-died

after? That ta what haunts um to this

"Do you mean that ihe wu burled in •

HANSIE'S NEW YEAR'S DINNER.
Story of a Smart Hoy Who Ate Too
Much fowl »iid Had No Room for Fis.
I recall my first New Year's dinner at
my graiKlfatber's. Shall 1 ever forget itf
I made myself ridiculous, and though but
little Hhaver of five or six my greed re
mained a standing joke at all the succeed
ing family reunions.
It wits, 1 remember, a most bountiful
ast. I can see that table now! At the
head a great gobbler sent up a mouth
watering sage-onion steam, his hulking
sides shining as if varnished in delicious
brown. At the foot crouched a huge
haunch of venison, the intervening space
crowded with game and chicken pies,
every variety of fresh vegetables, sauer
kraut, pickles, barberry jelly, honey and
preserves, apple, pumpkin and mince pies,
cheese and sweet cake. On a side table at
my grandmother's elbow stood pitchers of
cider aud a shining metal pot filled to the
nozzle with the best Bohea tea, strong as
lye.
The sight of the table was luscious, and
to lie but a child and obliged to eat stand
ing, to lie "seen and not heard," was hard
indeed, to wait a secoud table was simply
unbearable.
1 was too bold and hungry to submit. 1
crowded in lieside my mother. Engaged in
conversation and serving, she gave little
attention to my presence, while 1 raided
her plate, my grandfather, by whom she
sat, replenishing it with a sly twinkle of
the eye, as fust as I devoured.
At length 1 could eat no more. Distracted
by the sight of so many "goodies" left un
tasted, I broke out iu a disconsolate bowl.
Everybody stared.
"Why, Hansie," said my mother, "what's
the matter! 1 "
1 blubbered the louder.
"Hansie," she repeated, "I'm ashamed
of you. What is it! 1 Does your tooth
the—swallowed a bone?"
"No-o-o, m-a-a-m."
"What does ail you, then?"
"I'm m-a-a-d!" I blurted out.
"Oh, you naughty childl" and she shook
« soundly.
"Margaret Ann, mebbe he's sick," said
iy grandmother, anxiously, from the
other end of the table; then coaxingly,
'Hansie, oome over to granny."
I went, still clinging to a turkey bone.
"Tell granny what's the matter," she
whispered, kindly, as I wedged against her.
"Was ye crowded?"
"Yea, ma-am; 1 wa-a-s," 1 answered.
"Well. 1 wouldn't cry about it no more.
Got plenty of room now, haven't ye?
There's a nice bit—a pigeon breast."
At that I shrieked "Oh. dearl oh, dear!"
tu a perfect fury.
"Stop, Hansie, this very minnit now, or
I'll know the reason why," cried my
mother, jumping up and coming to us.
"Do you feel sick? You hev eaten enough
to kill ye. Does your stomach ache?"
"No, ma'am!" -
"What pesters ye, then?"
"There, there, eat the breast. Hansie,"
arged my grandmother.
"I ca-a-a-n't, granny," I roared. "I-I-l
ea-a-nt. I-I-l ain't got no place to—put—
<t! Hoo-hoo! boo-hoo! I want another
stomach. Boo-hoo! boo-hoo! I hain't had
no pie, nuther; nowheres to put it. Oh, 1
wisht I got another stomach. Boo-hoo,
boo-hoo!"
With a quick grasp my mother hurried
her small glutton into the bedroom, and,
aa his screams testified, did her best at his
reformation, i not even my gentle grand
mother interfering, so strictly waa parental
authority upheld among the Dutch in "ye
olden tyme."—Harper's Young People.
* Qualities of Gentlewomen.
It is not eaay to tell exactly what the
gentlewoman is or ahould be, for, aimpie
as she appears, her constitution ia com
plex. She may l>e misinterpreted, but
never by her own order. It* members al
ways recognize one another, whatever
their grade, tbe world over. And not by
algn or word, but by instinct. Tbe cun
ningest counterfeit cannot deceive any of
the true aisterbood who occupy palaces
and cottages, w!io wear crowns of jewels
and crowns of thorns, who breathe the in
cense of fame and the air of obscurity.
Their paths and fortunes are different, but
they preserve the same gait sad tend to
the same point.
On varied levela they are spiritually
equal—without conceit or assumption.
They comprehend their own worth and
correctly measure their own altitude. Free
alike from envy and egotism, they have a
wholesome pride which binds the.m to their
duties and insures the highest esteem of
their acquaintances.
They are always under certain obliga
tions, due to their order, and these they
never violate, and are never tempted to,
beoauae they flow with the currents of
their being. Untruthfulness or any kind
of duplicity is foreign to them. One may
invariably count upon their word and ac
oept their promise, which they are slow to
give, as one aooepta the rising of tonior
row's aun or the succession of the seasons.

KIUNKY TROUBLI
Some moat excruciating pain comes from
derangement of the kidneya. This is the
testimony of Senator Henry C. Nelaon of
New York as to the value of Allcock's
Posons Plasters in such cases :
"On the 27th of February. 1883, I was
taken with a violent pain in the region of
the kidneya. I suffered such agony that I
could hardly stand up. As soon as possi
ble I applied two Allcock's Porous Plas
ters . one over each kidney, and lav down.
In an hour, to my surprise and delight, the
pain had vanished and I was well. I wore
the plasters for a day or two as a precau
tion, and then removed them. I have been
using Allcock's Porous Plastrrs in my
family for the last ten years, and have al
ways found them the quickest and best
remedy for colds, strains and rheumatic
affections. From my experience I believe
they are the best plasters in the world."
