Conversion Did Not Last.

OuC III Western State, where
lived good many years ago" said
Mr.. T. NJ. Milwood, of New York, a.
Chamberlain's, "a young girl, tho
belle of the town, beautiful and very
bright, married man who had killed
her brother in a private difficulty.
"The slain brother was the idol of a
large family, and there was the utter
most bitterness on their part against
the taker of his life. When the mar
riage Of the sister to him became
known (she did it secretly the rege,
despair and modification of father,
mother, brother and sisters were too
intense for language to depict. They
renounced her utterly; her name was
never spoken, and friends who knew
all the sad circumstances never men
ticned it in the presence Of her imme-
date family. The father and mother
died nithout ever looking on her face,
nor did they forgive her on their death
beds.
Some twenty-five years passed and
the girl who had thus invoked the
wrath of her family had experienced
many vicissitudes of fortune. She
did not live happy with the man for
whom she had made such sacrifice,
and after few years they were sepa-
rated. He died and she went out into
the world to make living for herself
and one child. Her native ability and
fine address won for her excellent
positions; she travelled in many lands
and prospered financially.
'Not long since 1 went out to the
little town where the first chapter Of
her career was written and heard the
latest episode connected with her. It
seems that a wonderfully gifted re-
vivalist had been there and had been
holding a series of meetings that had
reused an intens. wave Of religious
enthusiasm. While in the village he
learned the history of the woman I
have described. A surviving sister
was one of the converts of the evangel-
ist. To this sister he went and
pleaded with her for hours till she
agreed to send for the renounced one
and take her back on the old basis of
sisterly love that had existed prior to
the ill.starred marriage.
"Well, to make the story snort, she
who had been treated as an outcast for
all those years was only too glad to
get the summons to come. She hur-
ried as fest as steam could take her,
and would gladly have flown, 80 eager
~as she to forgive and be forgiven
Now, here is where story like this
ought to end, but the cold facts are
that when she reached the old home
there was no welcome awaiting her.
The sister had recovered from the
emotional feeling under which she
gave the promise to the preacher, and
had hardened her heart once more.
1t is the talk Of the town that to help
her get back to this condition she
took out the clothes Of her murdered
brother and kept them hanging before
her eyes for Ewcnty-four hours.
'At all events, when the one bidden
to come ven. to her sisters house she
was refused admittance. The refusal
was peremptory, and there was no way
of getting around it. The moral to
this, if there be one, 1 suppose is that
a woman can cherish anger just as
long as a man and quite as unreas on
ably. = Washington Post.
