Mother" he exclaimed, "wha, does
thee know Of this world, thee why has
passed thy life in lonely places and
amongst quiet people?"
She rose and paced the floor as II to
permit some of her excitement to es-
cape in physical activity, and pausing
before him, said: MY only and we'll
beloved son, thee does not know thy
mother. A veil has been drawn over
that portion of her life which preceded
thy birth, and it's secrets are hidden in
her own heart. She has prayed God
that she might never have to bring
them into the light; but he has i'm
posed upon her the necessity of open
ing the grave in which they are buried,
in order that seeing them, thee may
abandon thy desires to taste those
pleasures which once lured thy mother
along the flower strewn pathway to
her sin and sorrow"
Her solemnity and her suffering pro-
duced in the bosom of her son name
could only look and listen.
Thee sees before thee" she contin-
ued. "the faded form and features Of
woman once young and beautiful.
Can thee believe it?"
He did not answer, for she had
seemed to him as mothers always do
to children, to have been always what
he had found her upon awakening to
consciousness. He could not remem-
Der when her hair was not gray. Some
thing in her manner revealed to the
startled soul of the young Quaker that
he was about to come upon a discov-
cry that would shake the very foun-
dalton Of his life; for a moment he
could not speak.
David" she said, in a voice that
sounded like an echo of long dead
past, "the fear that the sins of thy
parents should be visited upon thee
has tormented every hour Of my life.
1 have watched thee and prayed for
thee as no one but a mother who has
drunk the bitter cup to it's dregs could
ever do / have trembled at every
childish sin. In every little fault l
have beheld a miniature of the vices
Of thy mother and thy father-thy
father! Oh! David my SONNY son!"
The white lips parted, but no sound
issued from them. She raised her
white hand and clutched at her throat
as II choking. Then she trembled.
gasped, reeled, and fell forward into
his arms.
In moment more the agitated
heart had ceased to beat, and the Sc
cret of her life was hidden In it's mys-
terious silence The sudden, inexplica-
BILE and calamitous nature OF this event
came near unsettling the mental bal
ance Of the sensitive and highly or
ganized youth. Coming as 1t did upon
the very heels of the experiences which
had so thoroughly shaken his faith in
the old life, he felt himself to be the
target for every arrow in the culver
of misfortune.

"Faken Label on Apples.

Hood River-The members of the
Hood River Apple Growers union, which
comprises 80 per cent of the orchardists,
are up in arms over the report from
New York that quantities of apples
were on the market there bearing the
wrappers of the union which were not
up to the high standard of quality main
tanned by that organization. The wrap.
pers of the union are regarded as an
absolute guarantee of high quality in
the east, and when these apples were
found to be inferior in selection and
pack, many complaints poured in upon
Steinbardt & Kelly, who bought the en-
tire output of the union this year.
