Why an Old Lady Has Shut Herself ON
from tina World.
Various, indeed, are the ways in
which eccentric people indulge their
little peculiarlties, but decidedly
original manner has been adopted by
an old lady living here, says Paris
letter to the London Telegraph. On
one of the grand bOulevards stands a
house with closed shutters and fasten-
cd door, Scarcely sign of life is there
about the place and the house has re-
manned in a similar state over a quar-
ter of century.
The owner is an old lady who, on
Sept. 4, 1870, the day ON which the re-
public was proclaimed, resolutely deter
mined that no one affected by republic
an ideas should ever cross the threshold
Of her dwelling. To avoid any such
contingency she simply declined
to allow any one inside and has refused
all offers to hire either apartments or
the shop below. The only time she
breaks through her hard and fast rule
Is when workmen are permitted to en-
ter in order to carry out repairs.
Painters, carpenters, .locksmiths and
masons once a year in turn Invade her
privacy and make good any damage.
To relatives whose political tendencies
are the same as her own she is partic-
ularly gracious. but at the death OF
each one an apartment in the building
Is sealed up ald now all are closed
barring the very small one at the back
OF the house, which the 'anti-reuublic.
an hermit reserves for her own use and
that OF her three servants. This
strange behavior on the part of an old
lady has repeatedly excited comment
and numerous have been the attempts
Of people to gain an entrance by some
ruse or other. All their EFFORTS are
foiled by an aged servant, who guards
the front door with: dragon.liRe vigil.

at the gates Of Lady James place,
whore he must say his farewells and
get his dog-cart.
Lady Jane was still on the lawn, and
welcomed him with smile. She was
stout, motherly woman, still young
enough to be sympathetic.
"Ah, you are back" she said. "Now,
Is not that nice girl?"
Charming" returned Dick, sitting
down beside her and answering in his
most conventional manner.
Lady Jane frowned a little, being
quite deceived by the tone. She was
fond of Dorothy herself and would
dearly like to make a match for her.
She had seen with joy that Mr.. Ayl-
mer seemed very attentive to her, and
had encouraged him in his offer to
escort her down the road to her aunt's
house-and now he had come back
again with his cold, conventional tones
as if Dorothy was the tenth charming
girl he had taken home that afternoon,
and ne had not cared much about the
task.
Il heard you say little time ago
that you were going away" he re-
marked, after moments pause.
Eyes, We are off tonight by the boat
from Harwich," she answered. Eyes,
1t is rather a long passage-twelve
hours-but the boats are big and the
weather is smooth, and 1t is a great
convenience being able to drive from
from ones own door to the boat itself

know"
eyes, that must be So" he replied,
though l never went over by this
route. And how long do you stay?"
"All the winter" Lady Jane an
swered. 1--WE go to Kissingen, though

thought of her beauty, her soft blue
eyes, and fair, wind-tossed hair, of the
grace of her movements, the strength
and skill of her play, the sweet, half
shy voice, the gentle manner with now
and then just touch Of roguish fun
to relieve its softness. Then he re-
called how she had looked up at him.
and how softly she had spoken his
name, "Mr. Harris" just as that farm
er-fellow came along to distract her
attention and bring the bright color
into her cheeks, and, by Jove! he had
come away and never told her that his
name was not Harris at all, but Ayl-
mer-Richard Aylmer, commonly
known as "Dick," not only in his regi-
ment, but in every place where he was
known at all. Now how, his thoughts
ran, could the little woman have got
hold Of an idea that his name was
Harris? Dick Harris! Well, to be
sure, 1t didn't sound bad, but then It
did not suit him. Dick Aylmer he was
and Dick Aylmer he would be to the
end Of the chapter except-except, ah,
well, well, that was contingency he
need not trouble himself about at pres
emit. It was but a contingency and a
remote one, and he could let it take
care of itself until the time came for
him to fairly look it in The face, when
probably matters would conveniently
and comfortably. arrange, themselves.

her again, and what a pretty name
A4rs was-Dorothy zStrode!., Such
pretty name, only Dorothy Ay1mer
would look even prettier--Mrs. Richard
Ayimer. the prettiestsof them all, ex-
cept, perhaps, to hear bis mdn friends
calling her Mrs. Dick"
eAnd then he pqllsd himself up. with
a laugh to think how fast his thoughts
had been running on-why, he had ac-
tually married himself already, after
an hour and a half's acquaintance and
before even he had begun his wooingl
And with another laugh he turned in

don't think she would" said
Dorothy, honestly, "You see, Mr.,
Harris, my aunt is rather strict, and
she never does anything unusual,
and" At that moment she broke of
short as fairly smart dog-cart driven
by a young man passed them, and
returned the salute of the occupant,
who had lifted his hat as soon as he
saw her.
'Who is that?" asked the soldier,
father jealousy, frowning little as
he noticed the girls heightened color.
THAT is Mr.. Stevenson" she an
swered, looking straight in front Of
her
"oh, Mr. Stevenson. And who is he
when he's at homer" the soldier de-
manded.
every much the same as when he
is not at home" answered Dorothy,
with a gay laugh.
He laughed, too. But tell me, who
is he?"
"Oh, one of the gentlemen farmers
round about"
1t was evident that she did not want
to talk about the owner of the dog
cart, but the soldier went on without
needing: "And you know him well?"
II have known him all my life," she
said, with studied carelessness.
In the face of her evident unwilling
ness to enlarge upon the subject, the
soldier had no choice but to let her
take the racket from him.
"Good-by," she said, holding out her
hand to him.
"Good-by," he answered, holding 1t
a good deal longer than was necessary;
"but tell me may come and CALI"
Eyes, l think you might do that"
you will tell your aunt that you
met me, and that am coming to call
tomorrow"
THAT is little soon, isn't it?" she
said, laughing. Besides, tomorrow
there is a sewing-meeting."
"And you go?"
always"
"And you like it," incredulously.
mo, candidly l don't; but in this
world, at least in Graveleigh, one has
to do a great many things that one
does not like"
"And you might have to do worse
things than go to a sewing-meeting,
eh?" he suggested, for it suddenly
flashed into his mind that there would
be no gentlemen farmers in smart dog
carts at such feminine functions as
sewing-meetings.
THAT is so. Well, good-by.'
"But you haven't said when l may
come" he cried.
mo; say one day next week." with
a gay laugh.
But which day."
ooh, you must take your chance Of
that. Good-by," and then she passed
in at the wide old gate, and disappear
ed among the bushes and shrubs which
lined the short and crooked carriage
drive leading to the house.

The Latest Scie entific Knowledge
 on Food and Digestion.

The real cause of most of our dis eases is simply an inability to digest food. This induces thiuness, weakness, loss of flesh and fat, loss of vitality, wasting away.
 Loss of flesh and vitality means con- stant liability to sickness. Wasting away is consumption.
 If getting thin is what ails you, there is only one thing to do-get fat, The only way to do it is to take something which will help your stomach and stim- ulate it to do it's work,
 If you are tired out, you do not like to move your legs or arms If your stomach Is tired, it does not like to di- gest; it cannot do it's work.
 To eat, or even to eat with relish, does not necessarily mean that one Is being nourished. Strength, vitality and flesh are the true indications.
 Getting thin is a sign that you need the Shaker Digestive Cordial, You would not be getting thin if you could digest your food
 The Shaker Digestive Cordial not only contains artificially digested food, but it will digest other foods in the stomach.
 A single ten-cent bottle will show whether or not it is going to meet the conditions of your case, and if so, it's continued use may be depended on to effect cure. All druggists keep it in stock.
