HER INDIA SHA WL What It Brought and WkoBroughtlk BY XASX BICHTOXE. I -was jut thinking what a pretlr ghd my sister Anna was.with her beautiful eyes of Irish gray, and why mamma bjectetito her having a special admirer-like other girls. I knew there was some reason. Msniraa'siiieae are too lofty. Shepkturee Hugh NofcJtB, aa only son, and heir to a vast estate, coming here to court my quiet sister. Way, all the fashionable belles in town are setting their caps for him. I am sate he would never think of Anna for a wife, lay sister was crocheting as fast aa her little haads coald go. Presently she
"I wonder what Aunt Teresa meant by what she said to me to-day. She is talking about an India shawl." "Eh?" exclaimed mamma' in an anxious
"Yes," con tinned Anna, "she is going to repair all her old dresses, so they trill look
presentable when she sets her India
shawl." "Staff! nonsense!' replied "What is she talkies; about now?"
Annt Teresa was so sweet and good, not
a bit like some who have outlived youth,
except when she would have these spells of
dwelling on some bit of imagination, until
she' seemed to believe in its reality. There is always a skeleton in every family, they
say; we bad only a bugbear in ours. Aftax.papa died, oar income was
We never expected anything from Uncle Beuben, who had left three years before,
and we had never heard from him. "Perhaps she has heard from Uncle
Beuben," said I, "and he is going to send
bet one."
"No, that could not be, or I should know
about it," answered mamma.
Ann Teresa came down directly, with the waist of her old plum silk in her
"Yon know I have turned this silk so
often, and sponged it, too, that I don't
know what color it is. I want it to look
well enough to wear with my India shawl. I expect it on my birthday and"
There wa that shawl again! Mamma's

topped her crocheting for a minute.
"Where are yon expecting an India shawl
from, Teresa?" questioned mamma.
never heard of such extravagance, when
we can hardly afford a new dress!" "From India, of course" she replied.
"Bat where are yon going to get the
money?" shrieked mamma, a little pro yoked. '
"Reuben will send it to me," was Annt Teresa's reply. Mamma stared, and Anna
forgot to crochet.
"I have always been wanting one," re
sumed Aunt Teresa. "Sow I hope I shall
have a handsome one. Mamma's tongue loosened enough to say
"Yon have no idea where Ken ben is, Teresa, and have never heard from him.
Such a thing as knowing that he will send
yon a shajed is preposterous, to say the
least," Bhe xpostoiated.
. This cinswlar idea of Annt Teresa's grew with hV- every day, until it resulted in
a habit; Sne.would repeat it with the most obdurate fodffifrrence to our protests every time she had a chance, so that we almost eameto dread having anyone call, fearing
she woold venlilab her absurd hallucina
tion.
One day auntie and myself were alone.
lbs. Jones called, aa was her custom every
tort night, to give the news of the neighbor
hood. The conversation was naming smoothly, and I was so glad that auntie had
not referred to the horrid India shawl.
Finally, Mrs. Jones asked whether we had
heard from Uncle Beuben. Oh, my
Though I knew what was bound to follow, I eould not say a word. I trembled so
with anticipation. Such an audience
Mrs. Jones was capable of exciting the
roost ambitious visions in the mind of Annt Teresa who had such a desire to talk about
this dreadful shawl.
"Didn't you know he was in India?" (in
nriiriUke?). . "No," (Key aitto.)
They had the floor. Imagine it. I must
I to the inevitable.
"How dees he like it there? When did
you heart This is the first I have heard of
It,"
Aunt Teresa told all about Uncle Beuben,
that she believed he was doing well, and that was the probable reason why he did not return. Last, but not least, that she
expected an India shawl front him on her
birthday.
When Mrs. Jones left, I, fall of irritation at the ordeal gone through, tamed on
Annt Tereta, and asked her why she per-
afetedfefctlUag that absurd story to make
sal) so ridiculous as well as herself.
"Koasease, child, you will be delighted
when auntie gets her shawl."
I straggled against my impulse to say something uglv. "You don't even know it
uncle is living.'" I said.
"No news hi good news," she answered.
"We should have heard something if ha
were dead."
Mamma came back, looking flashed and
excited.
Hugh Cobles was expected home, and there was to be grand bail at the SToble
"I don't know what will become of this family," I said to myself. "Mamma is just as crazy on the subject of Hugh Nobles, who never even saw Anifa, as Aunt Teresa is about the shawl. It is only eight days until auntie's birthday now, and we shall soon get rid of the shawl" when the sound
of wheels before onr door attracted my at
tention. I looked out, and saw an express
wagon. "What can it oe?" i wonaereu,
I'll just go down myself and open the
door, before he rings."
"Please sign, njiss." "What is H?" "A package from India." "A what?" I saw on the parcel "Miss T. S. Hopkins,
Union Place." The man must have thought I was an escaped lunatic, from the way he looked at me. I signed, shut the door, and tore open the package. What do you think was in the box! A real India afawi. I was afraid to touch it. There vfjjB no telling:, what might happen now, so I stayed by the box, and catted the others down.
J declared exclaimed Aunt Teresa, look
ing at the shawl. "I didn't expect it so
ion. It is over a week until my birthday, little mystified. "It is very handsome," ventured mamma,
as the shawl was tried on. Anna looked
dubious, and didn't seem to realiie that the
shawl had actually come.
The colors are too sombre for you,
auntie," said I. "There ought to be more
red fa it Unci must .think you have
grown very oM, send such a dark one."
"Isn't there a hitter or scrap of paper
somewhere, telling who sent ii?" asked
as she searched the box. "Very singular, I must say.'?
Aunt Teresa wore her shawl every day.
Sunday she went to church; on her return
she brought the startling information that our expected neighbor, Hugh Nobles, had
arrived, and was present at the services
with his mother.
"I don't think he has gained much polite
ness with his foreign manners," said she,
''the way he stared at me. He really paid
more attention to my shawl than to the

"There was such an elegant lady with

the interruption.

asked mamma with an alarmed glance in
Anna's direction.
"I don't know who it was but don't
give up hope, she was an old lady," signifi
cantly replied auntie.
A few days after who should come but
Uncle Beuben himself. In the midst of
the chatter and confusion of his reception,
Aunt Teresa mentioned having received
the shawl.
What's all this about a shawl?" inquired
Uncle Beuben. "I never sent an India
shawl or anything else." ,
Oh, yes, you did," was Aunt Teresa s re
pry, and she showed it to him.
1 never saw it before in my life, he
answered.
"Didn't you send it from India?" queried
Aunt Teresa.
"Never have been in India. I came as
straight from Australia as I could."
"Well, who could have sent that shawl? "Can't tell. If s just as likely a mistake,1
said Uncle Beuben.
"Oh, what if we have taken some one
else's shawl," began Anna.
"That's exactly it," he continued.
"There is no other Hopkins living in
Union Place," spoke mamma, "and the initials were Teresa's. Dear, dear! What
shall we do about it?"
"Let the affair develop," answered Uncle
Beuben. "She'll lose the shawl fast

"I thought it was strange the shawl did
not come, so I went to the express office
and inquired. It had been sent to another

Hugh Nobles later, after he had insisted

no political object, and did not seek to infiu-
ence legislation. He had known of no such movement on their part He knew nothing
of the petitions to Congress for unlimited
coinage purporting to come from Knights of
Labor. He thought they could bo traced to

that they did not desire to stand on their dignity, and were willing to talk with him as
private citizens; that all they wanted was to
have the trouble settled, peace restored, and the men set back to work. Mr. Turner said that the general organization had the right to approve or disapprove of strikes. The present strike had not been approved. Witness indorsed the arbitration plan suggested by the

William Eivnrf Gladstone was born at Liverpool Dec. 29, 1809, nnd is tuere-fofa In the 77th year of his age. His father was a wealthy merrbaut. and acquired a lorge fortune in tho West Ilictiit trade. Mr. Gladstone was educated ut Eton nnd Oxford, and entered Parliament in 1832 as a member for NewSrk, which borough he continued to represent nntil lfWfl. Thwing this period he was a constant contributor to the Quarterly Ilevieti', chiefly on literary and ecclesiastical subjects. In 1834 he was made .Tmiiof Low of the Treasury, and in 18S5 Under Secretary for Colonial Affaira. In 1841 he was sworn in a member of the Pflw Council and appointed Vice President of the: Hoard of Trade and Master
of the Mint. In l43 was made President of the Board of Trade. In 1845
CEIMEB AHD OBIMDTALS. D. W. Pnrdom, of Manchester, Tenn., while lying in bed at midnight, was suddenly
confronted by masked men, who opened fire with revolvers. He roused himself and shot
.wo or more of his assailants, one of them fatally. The crime was due to his testimony f,gainst illicit liquor-sellers. A jury in Baltimore convicted Capt A. H. llrotherton of conspiring to wreck the brig O. It. Stillman. The enalty is ten years' imprisonment and a fine of f 10,000. An unparalleled crime is reported from toward County, Kansas. The wife of a farmer ramed Jacob Freimutb was ahsaultod and riurdered by Fritz ltupin, a half-witted Gernan, who had for some time been enjoying the hospitality of the Freiniuths, being homeless and without friends. During the absence of Mr. Freimntlt Unpin assaulted his lennfactor's wife, then bound her hand and foot, and cut her throat from oar to oar. Ho then secured an old, rusty hoe, and whilo the woman was yet writhing in the death-struggle he disembowlcd her with the blunt instrument Mrs. Freimuth wan enceinte, and when discovered the unborn babe lay a few feet from the body of the mother, cut in two. When Mr. Freimnth returned and discovered the mutilated body of his wife he became a raving maniac. A neighbor in that, sparsely settled rugion who happened to be passing by found him wild with frenny, but dared not approach for fear of his personal safely. He rode rapidly to a settlement some eight miles disli.u: and told tho terrible tale. A party was at
1 04cc organized, and they returned to tbe eceno I of the outrage and found Freimuth weltering.

stood shivermif in the jNovemuer air,
casting many a glance at the windows as they trembled with the jar of the ink-balls and the press, but afraid to venture in. His sister, who had been let into the secret, shared the impatience with which next morning he
