Mamma" cried Bessie the next day
when, her confession made, she had re-
deemed her precious locket and was ex-
amining it, Mamma, this is not my
locket. This is the other one. This is
poor grandma's love token to her faith
less lover come back to her grandchild;
see, see," she ratified on in wild excite
ment. Mrs. Prayne looked sharply, saw
the reversed initials, and was as excited
in a moment as Bessie, Cousin Tom was
dispatched to the pawnbrokers for in
formation. He learned but little more
than Frank, and so the mystery was
talked of and speculated upon for the
next week. Grandma's love story was
told over and over Briefly it was this /:
Mary Emerson and Van Dyke Vedder
were lovers years before. They exchanged
lockets made for them. Vedder went
sailing away out into the west and mar
ried, leaving grandma, then young and
pretty, to soon console herself with an
other lover and husband. She always
! kept the locket and a warm spot in her
| heart, as every woman does for the man
| whom she once loved. But she never
saw or heard of him again in life. Bessie
received her blessing, her little fortune
and the precious lOcket from grandma on
| her death-bed. And now, after fifty
years and without a clew, the lockets
were changed by some mysterious agency.
VI
Two months later Bessie and Frank
met again at the Franklyns' pretty house
at Newport. They had both forgotten
the lockets, and soon forgot the world in
each other.
One summer evening Bessie promised
to be his wife, and as two little white
arms went up around his neck, Frank
was guilty of most unconventional pro-
ceeding. He actually was surprised out
of taking immediate advantage of his
newly-acqu privileges. Among the
lace about Bessie's neck rested the other
locket. The love- tokens were love
tokens still.
Bessie told her grandmother's little
romance, and the initials were explained
to Frank, who exclaimed, almost with
awe: Ivan Dyke Vedder, the faithless
lover of your grandmother, Mary Emer-
son. was my grandfather"
In handsome house in Fifth avenue
there hangs upon the parlor wall a velvet
case. In it are two lockets, each as like
the other as can well be imagined-s
cameo surrounded by an enameled snake
J with ruby eyes. Over them hang thre'
! golden balls.-Ne1O York Star,
