Comets Great Terror.

At one time comets used to be the

including astronomers, supposed that
one day a comet would bump against
the earth and either set it ablaze or
shatter il into space. In the middle OF
the nineteenth century the greatest
alarm was manifested all over Europe

On another occasion a panic was
caused in London by two earthquake
shocks. The first shock occurred on
February 8. and down went several big

Highgate and Hampstead. The coinci-

The Husband Was Awau.

In the spri;aasa eef 1903 she told him
their dearest wish might soon be
realized. He had business interests
in Coshocton. Ohio, and had to be
away from home several weeks at a
time. His wife told him his mind
need not be disturbed by the neces-
sity of these absences, as she would
visit her sister, who lived in Green
vile, H.
So the husband went about his
duties away from home and awaited
anxiously the expected news. This
is one historical preliminary.
At this time there was living at
the home of Mrs. Frank Lindhorst.
In st. Louis, young woman, Mrs.
Leo Rowe, whom Mrs. Lindhorst had
known as Goldie Yell q trained
nurse, whose brother lived at Clo-
quet. MINI. The young woman was
barely eighteen eyars old. Her hus-
band, who seemed a mysterious sort
of person, called rev times and
then disappeared.
Mrs. Lindhorst was very fond of
the young wife, treating her like
daughter. When her baby was born
on July 80, she and her daughter
rendered them lovingly. 1t was boy

Mrs. Lindhorstt'ss little little boy, witt: The
addition of a middle initial, "M,"
for Mrs. Lindhorst's daughter, Myr-
tie.
About a week after the child was
born the mother and baby, by the
mothers wish, were taken TO board
at private orphanage in st. Louis
1t was only a few days later that
the institution was visited by a
well-dressed woman, who took an
immediate fancy TO little Harvey.

ordeal Of deceit and suppression of
her natural emotions that is in
evitable while she lives undiscover-
ed under the same roof with her
children and her former husband.
This deepest OF human passions,
familiar alike TO rich and poor, high
and low, SO powerfully depicted,
made East Lynne" a household
word. Now comes its parallel In real
life, with features which add another
to many evidences that truth is in
deed stranger than fiction.
First, there are two pathetic little
stories to relate In the city of AL
ton, ILL.,, Mr.. and Mrs. George How
ard Reegen lived in comfortable cir
cumstances. They were childless.
and both ardently desired a little
one TO be their very own and bear
their name. 1t seems that Mrs.
Reagen believed the only way to
hold her husbands affection was to
place their child in his arms.

he said:

AS he made this remark he stared
so steadily at the nurse that she felt
certain his mind was not easy on
the subject. But Goldie had grown
to be very fond of Mrs. Reagen. She
noticed the happiness the child had
brought to that lonely house, and
was loyal to her. mistress. She
avoided every possible word or act

Mrs. Reagen, reassnringly. You

My husband will be delighted"
The young mother said she would

again the next day. and the next.
She brought beautiful new clothes
for the baby. She won the heart OF
Goidie completely, so that one day
IN whispers they had a long confer
ence Mrs Reagen was very urgent.
Finally with wet eyes as she clasped
her baby to her bosom, the young
mother yielded.
Mrs. Reagen took mother and
child to a hotel, where she left
Goldie, and, with the child in her
arms, took the train for her home
IN Alton. In parting from the moth
er she said:
DO not forget our understanding

that you were my nurse in St. Louis
when the baby was born. If he knew
the child were not our own he would

A few days later Coldie was again
with her child in Mrs. Reagen's
home in Alton-but no longer as its
mother. She wore the white apron
and cap of nurse. Mr.. Reagen had
received a welcome telegram in Cos
hocton, and on his arrival home
this was the happy situation that
greeted him. His wife explained that
she had not been able to reach her

had been born in st. Louis. where
she had been nursed by Goldie Yell.

when she was distracted by scene
in the nursery that wrung her heart
as nothing else had ever done.
Little George had just learned to

backward in learning to speak, even
the simplest words. When Mrs.

arms outstretched, tottered shakily
toward her across the nursery floor.

Mrs. Reagen hugged the child joy

real mother, uttering a moan of
anguish. had dropped to her knees
on the floor and was weeping BIT

For some time Goldie Yell would
not be comforted. At length Mrs.
Reagen said:
