CILUTER XXL July swung open her golden gates and ushered in tho glorious days that annu ally come and go at her bidding. The early morning was delightfully cool. I made proiaratioii3 for a morning visit to my childhood's home, resolved, after having once nerved myself for the or deal, to search out and discover all its remaining landmarks. Ordering a gentle horse, I rode out alone. The wagon road of long ago, over which I had journeyed with my father on that never-to-be-forgotten day which awoke my slumberiug ambition for in venting anil securing patent rights, was no longer open to the traveling public; but by dint of opening gates and letting down bars I managed to follow a dim oridle path across waving corn fields, where often the luxuriant growth would envelope myself and steed until I could take no note of the surroundings. I had left home in a hurried, fretful mood, which did not augur very favora bly for ennobling impressions, but the glorious morning, the sympathy of my horse and the memory of olden times combined to soothe me. All at once I seemed to grow in perfect harmony with nature. A hazy, mellow light fell in softened radiance upon the fluttering com. Suddenly my horse stood still. The light seemed to acquire form and substance, and a human face and form, so well remembered that I recognized the person instantly, beamed out clearly and distinctly before me in tho path. Instantly, as usual, the vis ion vanished; hut I would close my eyes and ride leisurely on, and ever and anon the same outlines of form and feature would gather shape before me In the darkness. What could all this mean ? 1" grew perfectly tranquil, peaceful, happy. The melody of that sweet and solemn promise, "I'll explain," which for so many years had softened the bit ter trials which T all along had borne, chanted ptuans of hope to my waiting soul. Quickening my horse's pace, I at length emerged from the dense fields of corn andLrcaciicd anjjpon.pasture, where every 'rStU IBid'harTT to ifiellfe smiling features of some never-to-be-forgotten friend. I mused Mild pondered much upon the Ovuary lifevof my- pale and'anxtbuSivis- aged mother. So near to my heart did shcs&mi that I could notrculizc that frfrJ'Dlt; so many years! she haft been done with life's vicissitudes. And as I thought of her life of constant self-sacri- lice, unapprcciation and stolid resigna tion to silenbdespair, my heart went out to her in ardent longings that could not be repressed. Presently a sharp angle of the road brought me to the old school house, where my vivid recollection of the days of my youth became dpubjy intensified. The log building was a dilapidated ruin. A motherly cow with her good-natured calfttood in the shadow of the shapeless pile, chewing the cud it iweet content, and lazily switching oil the flies. A lit tle flock of sheep scampered out of the ruin at my too near approach, awaken ing in my soul the distant echoes of long gone decades. I oi)c dark corner lay a matronly swine, gnuitinir content,-!!- over the vigorous and evidently success- im cuons oi axiut a i.eii pink-eared juveniles to replenish their eairer mum. . tltes with the mother's nbundaiit lacteal supply. Chickens cackled in the loft, ana on a decaying ratter a line, lordly Shanghai sat, who greeted nie with an exultant crow. Skeletons of what had onpo Iecn window hung their liony bars across a fewMlilapidated openings. Lit ter, dust and grime covered the decay ing floor and broken benches. 'I seemed inspired by Some mysterious influence that I could not understand. But for the main ovidpnecs of decay coilld'easlly hal'e transformed myself in imagination to the quaint, odd, impetu ous girl who once, in home-spun gown and awkward shoes, moved hurriedly adown the aisle, out into the wintry night, a victim nf ntnrt.t'.i oti..,0;;.... ng aflection, and a prey to ungoveraa- .2" thS theibroken i 'iw-jei more broken rostrum I mounted the rickety ni" ! my station in the very w.wT ham Snyder once had stood.

Old Shanghai crowed again from the rude rafter overhead, awakening reverberat ing echoes that seemed to congeal my blood. "Everything "I saw began to swing in mazy circles around me. My knees smote each other, and again, as in the olden time, I could have envied Bclshazzar. Gradually I Iofct all cunsciuuniici. A darkness that could be folt enveloped mej and I sunk down in utter forgutful "ness. When I awoke to consciousness the af ternoon was far advanced. My poor, im patient horse was restlessly stamping the ground, and biting rft his hunger at the twigs and leaves of the hickory sapling to which he had been hitched. The cow and calf and pigs were gone, and the old ! building, all blank and desolate, looked, as-in sober truth it was, the skeleton of days long, long departed. The melody of olden memories chanted a solemn requiem, and I passed out of the time-hallowed ruin to the measured cadence of my own lone footfalls, feel ing, oil! so sad and desolate, that words of mine utterly fall to give those feelings expression. My good steed neighed u gentle recog nition, and r mechanically mounted him and rode on, in the direction of the old homestead, feeling the while that my day and generation in this world had been long out-lived. My ideas of locality became somewhat disturbed, and spying a wood-chopper at a little distance from the bridle path, I rode up and accosted him. "Sir, can you tell me the way to the falls?" "What 'falls,' yer ladyship?" "The falls of the creek, sir." "Precious little fall there is there now, ma'am. The back water from the mill dam's made the whole thing a pretty nigh dead level. -Any business at the mill?" Here was a chauge of which the bare possibility had not until that moment occurred to me. I had expected to find other matters changed, but the dear, old waterfall, the music of the grand old trees and melody of singing birds, Hooked and longed and hoped to find as I had left them. Tell me how to reach the mill," I said at length, not heeding the fellow's question. "Leave that loard fence on yer left and yon orchard on yer right, takedown tho broad lane and go straight ahead, ma'am." The honest yeoman's directions were followed. Passing through a lane of over one mile in length I came out at last into an open clearing, where stumps were as thick as "hills" in a eoru field. Instead of the fine groves of sugar ma ples with the scars of many tappings upon their scaly sides, with "sugar wa ter" troughs and broken "spiles" laying around in case and carelessness; instead of the silken foliage of the grand old for est and the sweet, half-silent music of the spheres, nothing was there but the bare stumps and roots of departed forest grandeur. "Will the realization of all my life long dreams prove as unsatisfactory as this?" I asked aloud. My voice seemed cracked, constrained and harsh. "Judith Itehl, am this be you?" I pinch ii I myself and exclaimed. Once more the memory of that sweet and solemn promise, "I'll explain," at tuned itself to melody; and that blissful memory had power sufficient to lure me on, or I should have turned about and hied me to the city. The afternoon sun beamed down in blistering rays upon my unprotected head, induciuga racking pain in my tem ples. Wearily I jogged along. Hundreds of cords of wood lay stacked in rows along the dusty highway. The main- moth proportions of the busy saw-mill loomed up in bold array before me. I luge saw-logs covered many acres of the sloping lawn. Men with horses and oxen, with wagons and trueks, were passing in and out. Other men were stacking up great piles of lumber in the form of triangle pens, and still others at a shiiixle factory were nackimr un the products of their skill in ricks conven ient for transportation. Where once had been my sylvan bower was now a great mountain of sawdust. Nothing at all remained of the dear old landmarks which for so many years I had so dcci ly and intensely longed to see. "No wonder," I said aloud, "that I have so long tarried within reach of this locality without having had the heart to visit it." On the rising lawn between our old homestead site and the mill, stood an immense, unpainted frame building, without bush or tree to shield its proior tions from the scorching rays of tiieafter noon sun. I was growing faint from fast ing and emotion, and, riding up to the door, accosted an unkempt woman with a dirty table-cloth pinned around her person to shield her calico dress from the soil of cookery, and asked for the hos pitalities of the house. "What might your uamcbo?" was the slv response. "It might be Smith," I answered qui etly, but could scarcely suppresx a smile at the recollection that the woman's question awakened. I had once read of a man who met an other and made the inquiry, "What might your name be?" "Itmight.be Smith; but it ' by a long shot," re plied the stranger. The reader can sed that lib cases were parauti, excent that rav name mis Smith. llrt JJO 5'0U ve in these parts?" and the weary woman placed l,Cr hands on the u.r lauie-cloth, over her aching hips, it i- , 15 aBa"s- tho door. x ... uie city, ,a'am ; but, as I and my horse have eaten nothing since breakfast, we should like to stop with ! you." "Are you the woman that Ilvod up to Dr. Armstrong's?" "I did live at the Doctor's for a season. Wiry?" 51 "Because, if you're that Smith, you're a good-for-nothing hussy. ..AJniJiad a good husband once, and you ruined iiim! And then you throwed your arts 'round Dr. Armstrong and would have ruined Mm, but, luckily, his wife got home in time to save iiim. Xo, madam! I've no use for yon or any .of your .kind. I've liecrd of vou women's rights women. You're a free love set, the whole bilin' of you." I was reallv amused at the simpleton's tirade. "Are vou .certain, my good woman that these thliigs.are so?" . "Did n'tHenry Jones, yourown hrotli Inw. tell me vou wcrenlta decent woman , . - - "That's overwhelming proof, my dear madam, and I've no more to say. But, perhaps, if you won't feed inc, you'll al low mv TKior horse to be fed. He isn't a woman's rights horse." A boy was called, who led' my horse away to the bam, while I, more dead than "alive, proceeded to nun! for the next nearest house, in search pffood and shelter from the burning sun. Not fur behind the great, ungainly, workingmen's boarding house with its one iguorauUmistress, wife and servant, lay our dear old home, nestled among an over-growth of bushes and vines, inrfcft oasis of green in this denuded desert. I was surprised to see the place so well preserved. The odor of fresh whitewash was upon the walls. A little child sat playing with sonic empty cotton-spools upon the nuked floor, and a huge cat lay curled up at its feet asleep. The identi cal "old hall clock" stood as a Welcome sentinel in the same old corner where it had stood when I was born. Hut it was still in its joints from excess of age, and evidently was kept for ornament In stead of use, as a wee bit of a brass time piece ticked away at the minutes, and seemed to pronounce in my ears the one sweet wonl of "welcome," which it con. tiuuetl to repeat until a pleasant-faced young woman entered. "I have come to request you to fumisl me with dinner," said I, tremulously for, to tell the truth, I had become very doubtful as to whether a "woman' rights woman" could get a meal in that locality for love or money. "t-ertainiy," was the pleasant re spouse. "Our dinner. forthe day ha been over for several hours, but we hav supper at six. Won't you have a seat ?' "Thank you, but I prefer to lie down and rest. I am very much fatigued." The obliging hostess led mo to my own, dear, little bedroom. A snow-whit bed and ample pillows invited me to re- poe. I bathed my burning faoe and stretched myself upon the couch. The hop-vine with its vigorous growth over shadowed the little window. A tiny looking-glass reflected my fevered face and, but for the fact thatago had changed me vastly for the better, as well as that my clothes were modern and ample, could easily have imagined myself the Judith Held of long ago. I closed my eyes, but could not slcef Contending emotions overmastered me and T lay mute and still.with lhyUiUud tightly clasped over my burning fore head and aching eyes. I listened loir and eagerly for the old-time "tick, tix-k tickpick, pull, pick nobody loves nie and I'm sick tick, tock, tick ;" but the measured words came not, and in their place I heard the gleesonie little clock chime out the ringing jingle that pro claimed the hour of mum:. Tho H!udu lum caught up the glad refrain and fin ished with the one word "welcome," which it repeated till my soul gathered courage, resignation and hope. Again a mellow light encompassed me, and again a well-remembered face defined itself uionairycanva. "Strange, indeed," said I, In soliloquy, i'lhat.my brain beholds this strange npiMirition when my eyes are cloved. I cannot un derstand it." - , After a while 1 heard the voice of a man, hearty, vociferous and pleasant, who was care-sing the crowing baby, who-c delight was evidently as great as his own. ' " ( "Hush! dear," was the mother's warning. "A lady from the city is"herc. Sho was very tired and asked iK.-rmissiou to lie down, and I sent her to the wist bed room. her sleep." "Who is she?" in a low tone. "I didn't ask her name, for I thought it was none of my business : but I saw Mrs. Stone at the" boariHng'house, and she say's she's nothing more nor less than Judith Keid." "Well, well; is it possible ? I wouldn't have missed this opportunity for a king dom." "Mrs. Stone says flic wouldn't have hcrtiround the house, i Sliojgave her an awful name, but for some unaccounta ble reason my heart wanned towanls her. She has glorious eyes, and her dress is simple and elegant." "Let you women alone for seeing the like of that," said the husband, pleas antly. Then followed a long consultation, in which I could occasionally catch a word, but of the general drift of which I could form no idea.
