PRETTY STORY
OF Mrs. w. e. GIadstone's Love for
Her Famous Husband.

VI MIS-. w. E. GIadstone's Love for
Her Famous Husband.
New York Journal r..d,
Here is one of the prettiest and most
characteristic stories of Mrs. Gladstone.
Just after she was married, her husband
who had already been minister, put to
her the question: "ShaH tell you moth
ing, and you can say nothing? Or shall
1 tell you everything. and you say moth
lng?" She chose the latter of the alter
natives; and he told her everything and
she never told anything except once.
Two cabinet ministers were dining with
her husband, then also a. member of the
cabinet, and something was mentioned
the details of which were known only
to members Of the cabinet and to such
Of their wives as were trusted with their
secrets. s
Mrs. Gladstone said, or did, or looked,
something which revealed that she knew
AT once there was flashed upon her from
the brilliant black eyes Of her husband
one of those terrible looks he could give;
it was silent but an affrighting re-
proof. When the dinner was over, and
Mrs. Gladstone went up to the drawing
room, she had good, oId-fashioned cry,
and wrote note of apology to her hus-
band.
He scrubbed back a reply; it was in
something like these terms:
You are always right. You could not
do wrong. Never mention 1t again.
Mr.. Gladstone had, Of course, forgot
ten all about it, and his surprise was as
great as anybody else's when it was
ho oh 70 hi n.1
he-was showing some of his old letters
to some guests at Harwarden, and in the
midst of it Mrs. Gladstone disappeared,
and, coming down with little bundle,
said she also had her little treasures of
the past which she must show; and then
out came this little note-faded, scarcely
legible; preserved throughout half a CEN
fury OF common life-of joy and suffer-
ing and greatness together.
1t was no wonder that. everybody pres
ent was touched at this resurrection of
something that brought back the image
OF youth and early marriage and all the
vast expanse Of tenderness and perfect
understanding that lay, between!
In the many projections of this perfect
marriage, Mrs. Gladstone was most won
derful in her method Of saving her hus-
band and looking after him in the most
transformations way Indeed, sometimes
such entire concealment OF her purpose
that she gave to superficial observer
an idea of stolid stupidity. Here is an
example: .r
One evening at the .Durdans, when
she and Mr. Gladstone were the guests
Of Lord Rosebery, Mr.. Gladstone began
to tell story which he always told with
peculiar gusto. Mrs Gladstone, of
course, had heard it often before, and
knew the somewhat astounding climax.
But she looked round, saw that some
of the servants were still in the dining
| room, and suddenly, while her husband
was still in the full tide of the story,
turned to Lord Rosebery, and with an
said: "Have you heard from the Aber-
deems lately?" There was a terrible fash
from the great mans eyes, and he sud
denly stopped
Then the servants went out and he was

allowed to continue his story It was OF
two orangemen. One of them was dy-
ing, and his friend was anxious to hear
some message from him which would en-
courage him in the hopes Of final saliva
ton OF the parting soul. He leaned down
over the head of his friend, asked him
Il he had anything to say, and the dying
Orangeman, in scarcely audible whis-
per, exclaimed: On the poper "It
was not quite what expected" said his
friend, but still, 1t was better than moth
ing"
1t was her desire to spare the servants
the scandal of hearing the naughty word
from her illustrious husbands lips that
induced Mrs Gladstone to make her ap-
parently silly and irrelevant remark.
She was, with all this extraordinary
cleverness as a wife, very absent mind
ed woman. and all kinds Of ridiculous sto-
ries are told of her to prove this. Once
she hunted everywhere for her bodice;
it was ultimately found under the skirt
Of her dress. She used to dress herself
sometimes in the little room at the back
of the ladies' gallery, and her toilet was
simple and plain, and even a little care
less. One night, never to be forgotten in
England, she and her illustrious husband
walked down the old palace yard into the
house; he was very old at that time, and
he was wearing long Inverness coat.
They looked like a wierd, shaggy old
pair-they might have been the two High
land lovers whose beautiful old age and
true and constant affection Burns has inn
mortalized.
In her old age the features of Mrs. Glad
stone became more remarkable for
strength than for beauty; but in youth
she was q beautiful woman. She and her
sister. the wife OF Lord Lytton. were in
deed. known as 1.-THE beautiful Misses
Glynne. They were married, as Is
known. on the same day, July ). 1889, and
there is a picture extant Of them at that
suspicious moment in their lives. 1t Is
reproduced in the brilliant little sketch
of Mr.. Gladstone's life which was writ
ten a few years ago by Mr.. Justin Nc
Carthy. 1t Is a picture that at this mo-

This town has emerged from fever OF
excitement and anxiety to a sense OF

and was believed to be drowned, is alive

name in the world was Miss Augusta
Henderson. but 1t will not be Miss Angus
ia Henderson long. for 1t is known that
she has renowned her vows and is about
to be married
1t is now about a week since the Sisters
Of st. Mary at Kemper Hall reported
with great anxiety the fact that Sister
Augusta had disappeared and their belief
that she was drowned. Sister Augusta
was widely known, particularly among
the poor. in whose behalf her deeds and
labors of, charity were constant and un-
stinted. The report naturally created the
greatest excitement, and searching parties
were quickly formed to locate the absent
nun. Ponds, streams and nearby lakes
were dragged. and dozens of parties Of
searchers secured the woods day and
night to find the missing woman. All
these efforts were in vain. At the convent
the sisters became almost frantic with
anxiety and prayers for the return of
Sister Augusta were being constantly re-
peated.
At length the excitement reached such
a pitch that business was almost suspend

ward for information concerning Sister
Augusta, and the knowledge of this offer
had the effect of enlisting In the search
