Lono-Prsserved Youth

An English lady. disappointed in
love in her younger years, became in
sane, and lost all account of time. Be
lieving she was still young and living
in the same hour in which she was
parted from her lover, taking no note
of the years, she stood daily before
the window watching for his coming.
In this mental condition she remained
young.
Some American travellers, unac-
quainted with her history, when asked
TO guess her age, placed It under
twenty years. NShe was at that time
seventy-four but had not a wrinkle
OF gray hair. Youth sat gently on
cheek and brow. She was held by
the thought of youth and love. and it
retarded the marks of age.
