below bring a welcome message a message
telling of relief from the drudgery and discom
fort of summer cooking.
For the New Perfection cooks better than any
wood or coal range, and it does not heat up,
the kitchen. Cooler cooking in summer
more ecenomicd cooking all the year 'round.
Watch for the orange discs next week. Ask

My Guardian
Br RUTH GRAHAM
Mother died when I was still a glrL
I think I bad Just turned seventeen.
During her last Illness she worried a
freat deal as to what was to become
of me after being deprived of her care.
"I wish you were a few ears older,"
Ui in my aecoui) bmup.
The difference between a man of
thirty-eight and a womnn of twenty
la not what it Is between a man of
thirty-five and a girl of seventeen.
When I came home from school for
the last time my relations with my
guardian bad changed. Ills treatment
of me was more reserved than ewer.
I had bo acquaintances among voting
men near my own age, and this seemed
to trouble him. He bunted up aevtral
youngsters and brought them to the
bouse for my companionship. They
seenfcd very boyish to me.
One day one of these youngsters in
vited me to go to a play with him that
evening. ' Mr. Ogilvle came home to
dinner tired and despondent about
out a husband for you. Then there that bad gone wrong during

demurred on the ground that it would
not benefit bim to go alone.
about your future."
"Would you expect me to marry sf
man without love, mother?"
T should rely on his pood qualities
to win your confidence nwl respect,
which would be better than a romantic
attachment Certainly it would lie
more enduring."
Mother bad often told me that she
had been engaged before she married
my father, but gave me nothing more
than the bare fact. I often wondered
why she had not married this per o;i
Instead of father. I knew that lie wm
several years younger than s'.ie. and
since a woman prefers u man older
than herself I funded that this might
be the reason of her breaking her first
engagement
When mother died and her will was
opened I learned that her property bad
been left to a certain Horace Ogilvle
In trust for me till I should reach the
age of twenty-one, when It was to be
paid to me. My guardian was to have
"Why not take me?" I suggested.
"I thought that you had an engage
ment," was his reply.
' "I'll break it"
He looked at me, surprised, and said
be would not have me do that on any
account
I assured bim that I preferred to go
with him, but could not muke bim an
derstand that I would choose to spend
an evening In company with an old
fellow like himself to a youu man
near my own age.
Ilalf an hour afterward I received
two tickets v.-itb a note from the donor
stating that be was unavoidably pre
vented from escorting me to the thea
ter and hoped I would find some one
to take his place. I went merrily to
Mr. Ogilvle. waving the tickets over
my bead, and asked bim to be the
substitute.
That broke the Ice between us. Mr.

A GHOST?
By F. A MITCHEL
the legal care of me during my mlnorl- j iiermitted bimnelf to show me
ty, to provide a home for me and dl- J som,ft "wtIon, which I revived so
reot my education. I remember that
a few days after the opening of the
will a very pleasant looking gentleman
about thirty -five years old came to see
me and announced himself as my
guardian. He told, me , that he lived
with his mother In another city and I
wae to go with bim and make my home
with them.
He seemed to take such a kindly In
terest In me and was so sympathetic
with me in my bereaved condition that
I felt greatly comforted. I accompa
nied him to bis home, where I was re
ceived by bis mother, an old lady who
was as cordial as if I were her own.
During Oils first day I spent with
my guardian I constantly found him
looking at uie with a very singular ex
pression. It was as though I was con
nected with something beyond myself.
I fancied that there wan tenderness lu
his gaze. Could it be that lie felt that
be was placed toward me in the posi
tion of a fatln't-V I certainly did not
have for him a t urrespoinllng feeling.
I thought hlii n very interesting man.
Why my mother had appointed Jiim
my guardian I did not know, and I
Was nut informed. Soiueliww since nei
ther he nor h.'s mother said anything
bout the matter I nitiier shrunk
from asking. Mrs. Ogilvle took entire
charge of me. and 1 poon eume to look
Open her as my second mother. Mr.
Ogilvle from the day lie amnined my
lag gnardlanablp treated me with a j
certain reserve, which J did not relish.
I wished that be would not keep a
terrier constantly between him and
me. At twenty I left school and was
certainly not the balf child, half wom
an, that I had been when I came to
cordially that It was rapidly Increased.
To make a long story short, there were
a courtship, an engagement and a mar
riage. I wedded my guardian.
It was not till I hud been married
some time that I discovered that my
husband had been engaged to my
mother. He considered, me the coun
terpart of what she was when he had
loved her, and from the moment we
first met he renewed that love In me.
I have spent many an hour wonder
ing why my mother should have ar
ranged a probable match between me
and the man she disappointed. I have
never found a solution.

Any boy who. has studied United
States history knows, the story of Ben
edict Arnold's treachery lu bis Inten
tion to surrendta Wesi Point to the
British, bow Major Andre of the Brit
ish army nun captured at Tarrytown
with the paiers in the ease In hla boots,
the horror of General Washington and
cue execution of Andre as a spy.
Andre was executed ou the banks of
the Hudson not fi.r from where he was
capturel The pluie where the execu
tion occurred is of no lnijrtanee ex
cept as to its coiiiiei tloii witb this his
torical event
Mind you, I'm not going to vourh for
this story. It came to me from differ
ent sources, and there are certain dis
crepancies. What I'm goiug to tell is
what I surmised from the whole with
out lugging In any proofs pro or con.
A certain Sirs. Meilweather of New
Tork city, prominent in tne U, A. It.,
bad a daughter, Abigail. Hie ininie be
ing handed down through hulf a dtizen
generations from a Revolutionary an
cestress, wno was an Incorrigible
coquette. The motbel endeavored vain
ly to persuude her daughter to marry
some one or her many suitors, to set
tle down and behave herself. George
Van West was the only one of tbem
w hom Abigail fancied. Uim she really
ioved, but owing to one or" those Incon
sistencies of women for bleb uo man
can account the more she loved bim
the worse she treated him. Indeed, a
certain Ambrose Constable, whom she
did not like and tier mother detested,
was, to all appeurau.es hec favorite.
One spring when Abigail waa receiv
ing marked attention from Countable
her mother took her to farmhouse
in the countiy, hoping that by separat
ing hor from Constable the affair would
blow over. Abigail was much named
at leaving Van Wert, but that contrary
trait in her chsra.'ter prevented her
from telling the truto as to ber prefer
ence, and she accomoanied her mbtber
in the farmhouse unwillingly.
Independence day that year was a
beautiful one. The air was cool, the
sky cloudless. Abigail sat on the jiorch
of the farmhouse watching the country
people dressed In holiday costumes go
ing to a church where eicMses appro
priate to the day were to be held.
Presently a young uian came along
whoso appearance at nn e arrested Ab
igail's attention. He was bundsome,
but very pale. Keelng the girl on the
porch she seemed unable to keep her
eyes off lilui-bw bowed lu a very court
ly manner, -inking off his bat at the
same time with (something of the flour
ish of a gentleman of the old school,
May I a.ski" he suhl to Abigail.
"whither all these country bumpkins
are going?"
To the churcb where the Declara
tion of Independence Is to be read''
"Why today V
"This is the anniversary of the day
it wos adopted."
"By the rebels?"
Abigail wus so puzzled by this refer
ence to (lie signers of the I e; la ration
as rebels that t!ie made no reply, con
tinuing; to guze on the man with a sort
of fascinated wonder. Ueauwhll be
began looking about him like one who
waa visiting a plan with which hu
I bad mice been familiar. Ills gaze
' lighting on a bulldtng further down the
' road, be shuddered. Tbet), seeming to
(grow faint, he caught ut the fence In
(closing the farmhouse for support.
Abigail arose, hutned toward bim
and was ubout to put out bet arms to
(SUpiMMt film when he turned and
I smiled at her She afterward described
that smile an the most beautiful she
had ever beheld. It seemed to be the
I smile of a martyr who had suffered
1 his martyrdom am) hud passed to bli
( reward.
From ths Hiint the Information I
gathered about Abigail's meeting with
this stranger Is contradictory. Some
say that he spent only the day with
her on the farmhouse porch, some that
he lingered In the neighborhood all
summer. The testimony for the former
statement predominated, but I am at
a loss to understand how be could
have produced the marvelous effect he
did ou Ahlgull la a single day. Aa to.
how or where they spent that day ac
counts vary.
Of one thing 1 received positive tes
timony, that from that Indeiiendeuce
day Abigail was greatly changed.
While before It she had been the gay
est of the gay, after It no one ever saw
her smile. George Von .Wert tried to
bring back the smile to her lips, but
signally failed. Indeed, the sight of
him seemed to fill her with a sort of
I horror. As for Constable, she no
longer cared to conceal ber real feel
ings toward him.
Mrs. Merlwentber did everything she
could think of to break the spell that
had been cast over her daughter. She
endeavored to make Abigail forget the
j stranger In a social whirl. She took
' tier on travels, all to no purpose. The
Door girl was gradually sinking into
. the grave. Six month lifter that mem
orable Independence day she died.
Who was the stranger? I am going
to give certain points' that indicate
who he might be, but as I Raid In the
j beginning I only give the fucta and
' have no desire to Influence opinion. In
'the first plai.e the farmhouse where
Ablgal spent that Indoiendcnee day
was In sight of the house In which Ma
jor Andre was tried for his life and of
the place where he was hanged; second
ly, George Van Wert was a descendant
of one of the three men who captured
' Andre at Tarrytown with the papere on
bim Incriminating Benedict Arnold.
