Grandmother Penderby was one of those sweet-faced, silvery haired old ladies who seems to have stepped straight out of the pages of some sev- enteenth century novel. She ruied by love, but unquestionably, in the old house at Lyuhrook. Nobody would ever have dreamed of disobeying or thwarting Grandmother Penderby. Jven “Squire” Fenderby, hot-headed and impetuous as he was, had never done that. One glance from grandmother, one wave of the uplifted finger, and the Squire was reduced to a condition of trembling obedience, That was why the quarrel between Mildred, the old lady’s granddaughter, and her fiance, Will Hurlbut, was made up so quickly. They had been be married at Christmas. But Will least, 5o Mildred fancied—and harsh wake; and the end of it was that Mildred threw her ring at Will and Will clapped on his hat and slammed the door. ed her grandmother that evening, when she had succeeded in forcing an | explanation of her grandchild's tear- ! stained face and dejected sepirits. “How can a girl quarrel with the man | she is engaged tv marry?” “Because I have found out that he s false,” sobbed Millred unhappily. “He—he—he didn’t love me; heo has ' mever cared for me at all.” “He cared for you enough to offer " you his hand and name, Mildred,” re- plied her grandmother. “And I pre i \ “A‘l‘lh (X “Didn't You Ever Break an Engage- ment, Grandmama?” sume that you had seme knewledge of | his nature and disposition before you | accepted him?” “I was decelved,” sald Mildred. “All | girls may be deceived. We claim the | right to act for ourselves nowadays. It isn't like it was when you were ! initiative. Didn’'t you ever break an engagement, grandmamma?”’ The old lady's cheeks had suddenly grown scarlet. “From the day when I accepted Mr. Penderby,” she sald, “my will was his will and his wishes were mine, and I placed the most im- | plicit trust in him.” So the quarrel ended, because that evening, when ‘Will came back in a penitent mood, Grandmamma Pender- by led him straight into Mildred's boudoir, and made Mildred put her hand in Will's, and then wisely went out and left them together. And ten minutes later, when they appeared be- fore her, as she sat in her chalr, knitting, the faces of both were ra- diant. The Penderby homestead was one of those quaint, old-fashioned houses that are still to be found, here and there, upon the very borders of our modern cities. It was full of little nooks and closets, and its attics were stacked with the accumulated debris of generations: old trunks, old furni- ture, old papers. A week before their marriage, Grandmother Penderby, who | had been rummaging in what she called her private store room, ap- peared before Mildred and Will, flushed and triumphant. In her arms she bore a heavy, old-fashioned writ- ing desk. “This is to be one of my wedding presents to you children,” she said. | “And don't turn up your noses at it, | either of you, because my mother | thought enough of it to give it to me ! i when I was enga~ed.” Mildred hod oiten seen the little desk, but instinctively she had re- | i frained from tampering with it. She | knew that grandmother valued it ; dead rose leaves betrayed the fact tha: it had contained anything but dust. | “We'll keep—what shall we keep in It, Will?” Miidred asked. “Our love letiers” responded Wil i engaged two years and they were to had been attentive to another girl—at words left harsher feelings in their | “Quarreled?

But isn't it strange, ,‘-,XiHie.; A that a desk of this eize should have | such a very small interior® It almost | § looks as though it might contain a.; secret drawer.” i “There docs seem to he a lot of i space underncath the drawer,” sald g Mildred, fingeriog the edges of the E desk. “Why, Will, it ri quite hul-i low. Just tap it ard listen.” A it certainly did ring boilow. And it g { did seem as though there were soma B second drawer under the first. But | the cunningly arranged vepeering gave no evidences of any opening. i Will tapped and tapped in vain, | “] guess there isn't any secret g drawer, Millie,” said Will, and set the | i§ desk down upon the table with & § bang. And then a curious thing hap-:r pened. The jar apparently set some long devised spring to working, for the whole front of the desk flew open, revealing a little, flat compartment im- l A mediately beneath the drawer. A single sheet of yellow paper, cov ered with faded writing, lay there. K Will looked at it and then snatched it | § up and began reading. § “Will!” exclaimed Mildred reprov: ¥ {ngly. 1 8 “But I must read it,” he exclaimed. “Look at this signature—it is that ot my grandfather, Ebenezer Hurlbut. | It may be rome long-lost will. { But it was no will. It was a letter @ addressed to Grandmother Penderby, il and it ran as follows: - “My Dearest Own Elizabeth: “Your cruel words to me today, though they have sorely wounded me, cannot quench the passion for you that burns in my bosom. So, since you have sald that this unhappy mise | understanding of ours must end our! engagement, since you have forbid me tv approach the shrine and alter of my devotion, I shall place this within your mother’s writing desk, hoping that some impulse will draw you hith er, to open the little drawer you once showed me, and to find this outpour- Ing of my soul. Elizabesh, you cannot mean that we must part for ever, that you will bestow your priceless| self upon that dullard, Nat Enderby, | for when your marriage bells ring out | my life will become unbcarable to me | and I shall end this wretched exist-| 7 ence. Without you, life will become | impossible. “Till time shall end, thine, “Ebenezer Hurlbut. | “Jan. 24, 1857." ] Will Hurlbut folded up the paper and looked at Mildred. Her eyes were moist and her lips were quivering. “It must have lain there unnoticed these fifty years and more,” she said. “We must not let her know, now.” | y “No,” answered Wili, and, tearing the paper into strips, he let them flut- ter slowly out of the open window. “Will,” said Mildred, presently, “do you remember the date of your grand: father’s marriage?” “It was in the spring of 1838, 1 think—it must have been, because my father was born that Cbristmas.” “And grandmother was married in the summer of 1857. It didn't last long, this desperate passion, Will? But, dearest, do you know what grand- mother told me once—it was just after our stupid quarrel? That when she was young no girl ever dreamed of quarreling with the man she was en- gaged to marry.” Will laughed as he kissed her. “Oh, well, I guess that human nature was, pretty much the same in those times | a8 it is nowadays,” he said. “But,' Mildred, dearest—" “Wil?” “Thiuk how lucky it is for us she didn't marry your grandfatter. Be cause that would have made us cous- ins—and marriage between cousins 18, impossible in this state.” | (Copyright, 1913, by W, G. Chapman.) WOLF’S LIVER TO CURE COLD Remarkable Prescriptions Handed Down to Present Age From Days | of Superstition, ' Pliny, the Roman writer, prescribed various remedies for coughs and colds. These include wolf's liver, dissolved in hot wine, honey mixed with the gall of a bear and powders made from rabbit skins and bullocks’ horns burned and pounded together. Another is to wrap any of one's fingers in the skin of a freshly killed dog. Tree frogs, too, are excellent for all forms of catarrh, Place one in the mouth for a minute, and when he makes his escape he takes that cough with him. No harm is done to the frog, for coughing and croaking are all the same to him. For a cold in the head Pliny advises & simple yet infallible remedy—three kieses on the mouth of a mule. In the spring the cuckoo's first call of the season formerly played a great part in love divinations. A common { English belief was that an unmarried person hearing a cuckoo call and im- mediately taking oif boots and stock- ings would Lad un the great toe of the right foot a hair, whose color would be that of the poll of ¢ pstin Another idea and pers 1 the number ot the cuckoo’s calls when ng.
