AR. Gosney suffered very severely
with Kidney Complaint and some ten

cure If one was to be had.

last his perseverance was rewarded
and he found complete cure.

beauty Of her dark, brooding face. She
learned the disciplinary value Of the
stage, and she learned the real hideous-
ness Of selfishness. But she told Jack
| none of this.
One season passed-two-she was
soon to begin her third. She was get
ting on, but slowly. One evening she
was moved by one of those impulses
that seem to come from without rather
than within, to run home and pay Jack
visit. The rehearsals were over. There
was no reason why she should not go
home for a week. She would surprise
him.
She drove out from town in the early
morning. The mist wells were rising
from the hill tops, melted by the burn
ing kisses Of the sun. The evergreen
forests on the hillsides were so cool,
the great walls Of earth so restful. She
wondered why she was not afraid they
would topple upon her now. Was it
that she was beginning to yearn for
what they typitied- strength and fidel-
ity, the greatest and best things in life?
The little house had been done up,
she noticed as she drove up, and Jack
had coaXed the rose vines quite to the
roof by now.
The door was open. There was no feo~-
of tramps in that region, and she peefees
right into the house. Some one was STIR
ring within, but he was too absorbed
to note her soft footballs.
Her old blue skirt hung upon the
wall, and her husband, looking older
and sadder, but still with that vast
strength Of patience in his face, stood
looking at it.
She wrote the rest to her one friend in
the company.
Il walked over quietly and stood be-
side him. He was still so busy look
ing at that foolish skirt that he didn't
know I was there. But after awhile
he turned toward me, and when he saw
me the look that came into his eyes
made me cry.
"Well, I've resigned. When I saw
poor old Jack worshiping that blue
skirt of mine that had thrown away
as worthless l made up my mind that
there are only a few things that are
really worth living for, and stage life
isn't one of them, and the companion
ship Of stanch, splendid soul like
Jack Is. And so I've left and I'm going
to wait and work with Jack for the bet
ter days that 1 know are coming.
"He is getting on in his profession
and the-did I call them better
the other days are nearer. But Won
der if they will be better, the days when
Jack and are rlch and so many people
will know us and make demands upon
our time, and so separate us after a
manner? We were both wondering to-
day, but we are going to enjoy the time
before that, and meanwhile that old
blue skirt still hangs upon the wall.
Jack insists upon it. He calls it his
'restorer.' New York News.

TAe1ry of the Aurora.

The latest theory, and a very ingenious
;ne, writes Frank Wilbert Stokes in the
Century, is that of Unterweger, who sup
poses that cosmic ether, which fills the
celestial spheres, when met by the earth s
movement, is compressed or condensed in
:ront Of the earth in the direction Of it's
movement, and dilated or rarefed, on the
contrary, behind it. This cosmic ether is
more condensed before the earth than
hat which is borne along in the whirl of
he world at from 50 to Al miles per
second, and is more rarefied behind. The
result is that one-half of the earth, or
he northern hemisphere, will be mega
lively electrified and the southern half
positively electrified with the space re-
,ions which they are leaving. Only the
magic of the spectroscope will probably
push aside the curtains Of this grand
mystery and reveal the truth.

GONE JUST TWENTY YEARS.

... ~ re}9urns After Going Out to
- -" >.:~sssestt the Chickens. -.
Abiel Patch was a soldier in tho
Civil War and when the war ended
he returned to his native place, Rut-
land, vt. There he was married q few
years later. He bought a good farm
and with his wife lived there hanni,v
nearly fifteen years. By Industry he
acquired goodly amount Of property.
Patch took pan of corn at 4 D. m.
Dec. 27, 1882. and started for the poul-
try house to feed his hens. When he
did not return for supper his wife
hunted all over the place for him. but
in vain. The next day a searching
party was formed by the neighbors
and the forests for miles around were
secured, but without finding a trace
OF the missing man. After a few davs
the search was abandoned. No letter
ever came nor was any inkling of the
whereabouts Of Patch ever received.
While Mrs. Patch was preparing for
supper the other evening there was q
rap at the door. She opened the door,
and an old man with q long, grav
beard stepped in. There was nothing
about his face or figure that looked
familiar to Mrs. Patch, and when the
old man told her be was Abiel Patch
she thought he was playing a prank
on her. When he showed her a pe-
cul1ar finger ring which her husband
had always worn and the scar Of a Sc
we're bullet wound on the side of his
head which he received at Cold Har-
Dor in the Civil War there was no fur
ther doubt Of his Identity.
Il left home because I wanted ex-
citement," said Patch later in explain
ing his long absence. 4 got tired Of
farming and started out into the
woods. I have been all over the for
ests Of Northern Vermont, New Hamp-
shire and Maine, and have killed hun
dreds Of deer and moose. 1 didn't
intend ever to come back. and I honed
my wife would marry again, but I
heard a little while ago that she
hadn't. thought I would see her
once more before died. The winters
have been pretty cold lately and I
couldn't stand it much longer in the
woods"
Patch did not think his wife would
welcome him home, but, as she has
done so, he says he WI remain.

Women Sailors.

In France woman can now become a
sailor, as the following incident shows.
A vessel was recently leaving one of the
harbors Of that country, and, being short
Of hands, the captain engaged a young
woman who said that she was willing to
do sailors work. At this point the
local authorities interfered, on the
ground that there was no percedent for
employing a woman in this way, and the
matter was referred to the minister Of
the navy, who decided in favor Of the
woman. He said that she might serve
as sailor, but that she could not become
captain Of a vessel.
