STONE IN 1IER STOMACH. IVom the &ueUe, Ulandnisville. Ill The wife of the Rev. A. R. Adiuna, pastor of the Bedford Christian Church at Blaudiusville, 111., was for years compelled to live a life of torture from disease. Her case baffled the physician, but to-day she is alive and well, nod tells the story of her recovery as follows: "About six years ago," said Mrs. Adams, "I weighed about 140 pounds, but toy health bogan to fail and I lost flesh. My food Jid not agree with me and felt like a at'joe in my stomach. I began to bloat all over until 1 thought I had dropsy. "I had pains and soreness in my left side which extend od clear across my back ami also into the region of my heart, during ihese spells a hard ridge would appear in the left side of my stomach and arouud the left side. "These attacks left me sore and exhausted. All last summer I was so nervous that the chiMren laughing a.ul playing nearly drove me wild. I suffered also from female troubles aud doctored with ten different physicians without receiving any help.

with which it was garnished. "1 think." paid Jure, "it was rath er inconsiderate of yon to ask Acnes t 1 stay to-nUTht, ami. if she had had decent manners, she would not have accepted your invitation, as I-did not second it." "It would have looked kinder i? you had." answers Tom, bluntly. "And 1 don't quite see that there is any necessity for ceremony between cousins and friends." "Friends!" echoes June, her lips boKirninjr to qi.ivor and her eyes to blaze. "I don't think there is very much friendship about it. You know she was in love witli you for all I know, she is in love with yon still; and all this protended affection

for the boy is only assumed with the ol-1 ject of petting influence over you and j setting you asainst mi." i "For shame!" utters Tom. "I did not think my wife was capable of such paltry : feeling. What has the poor pirl done to you? If she did like me, is that a fault in jour eyes? Do I boRrndce any ore liking you? Am I not proud and glad . that every one should admire and think ' much of you? And, because there is jest j one creature in the world who thinks j something of me and shows some pleas- j ore in my company, you turn round and '; are jealous and rude to her, and waut to i put her out of the house. Poor tliiiijj' j What has she got in comparison with i you? She Jotes ou your child, and she j like your husband, who is her own eons- I in, and that's r mortal offense! 1 thought j you wore n bit above the little spites and ! jealousies of most women." i

Things are indeed taking an unexpected turn; her ladyship's pride is up in arms. Tears more of auger than grief start to her eyes. "It shows what she is," she cries. "All the time we have been a way we have been as happy as possible, and never had one word, uid the instant, the very instant we set foot in this house again, she is the cause of our quarreling." "She!" echoes Tom, who is fairly roused by this lime. "It is no doing of hers, poor girl! All she wants is to be kind a;id friendly. We have been away for months, and she comes up in the nicest way to welcome ns back, niid you are all but ru le to lier. No, but the noddle on the rinut horse, it is you who make the quarrel!" la the morning, calmer counsels prevail. Sae does not for one moment believe that Tom cares for Agnes, or that Agnes has any real influence over Tom; hut she ees that lie is obstinate, and that there will be a struggle between them.

CIIAPTKR XXI. Christmas came and went; there were guests at the Hall, and the festive season was spent in a fitting manner. No actual reconciliation had taken place between Sir Thomas and Lady Xevil; both had foend it convenient to let the cause of quarrel drop; neither had the sinaflost intention of acknowledging to having been in the wrong. But, like all quarrels not made up and canceled, it left a smothered resentment behind. Agnes was perfectly aware of the estrangement she had caused at the Hall, and Madge's stinging sueers and sharp reproaches were by no means necessary to show her the mischief she was doing. i.he redoubled her attentions to Tom's heir; her manner to Tom was more angelic than before; her sweet liens increased bis admiration and respect for her tenfold. Once, after a smart encounter with Mndge, she waylaid Tom in a quiet spot and confided her grief to him. She told him of what she hud been accused; she wept before him, not. loudly or convulsively, bnt in a saintly and composed fa-shion. She set so little store by the world: she wax absolutely indifferent to the exciting pleasures which Juue und Madge loved; she lived for duty. Poor Tom was deeply moved. He was immensely indignant, besides, at this dear, good creature being persecuted for what was her highest virtue and recommendation in his eyes. He felt extremely iuci;ned to iro to her ladyship and reproach her in no measured terms for her unkindness: but calmer reflection made him feel tbat sueli a step would do ten times 11: ore harm than good, aud would set the rectory and tin- lla.ll by the ears. So he comforted Agues to the iK'.st of his ability, an.! behaved to June with a shortness which she ut once took nolo of and comprehended. About this time Mrs. Ellesmere sent a most pressing invitation to her daughterii law to spend a week or ten days at her h-:ise in London, aud June accepted. "And now, dear child," said her ladyship at parting, "what am 1 to say to Mr. Caislake if 1 meet him?" Madge buried hei face in her cou iln's shoulder. "fh. my darling .Tuny." she almost groaned, "if you will only bring him buck to me, I will he your slave for the rest of my life." So Lady Nevil promised to do her best anything in the world short of humiliating her cousin. ."I tine enjoyed In r visit to London immensely, Mrs. Kllesiuere wus a treat admirer of good looks in both sexes, and June's beauty, her elegance, her n linenn iit, the way in which she attracted people, were very high recommendations 10 lor favor. She was proud of Lady Net il. and her ladyship thoroughly reciprocated her mother-in-law's good feeling. Hallas was in town, and added not n little to the pleasure of the two Indiift. lie was always a welcome guest in his a tint's house, and, during Lady Nevil's sta.", almost lived there. He tiiok June walking mid shopping; he escorted her and Mrs. Ellesmere to tin- play; if they dined at home, he invariably dined with them, giving up every other engiigcgement 011 their account. Tom was helupless with his pen. Composition to him was labor and sorrow; spelling an accomplishment no more to be mastered than the piano. But June would have smiled with fond toleration over his lapses in grammar and spelling if bis letters bad only hud the right ring it he had said he missed her and wanted her back. Unfortunately for her ladyship's frame of mind, lu never hinted anything of the sort; on the. contrary, lie impressed en her that she was on no account whatever to hurry back, but to stoi 1 herself. Everything nt home on swimmingly. The rest v : about little Tom, over whom :. bly waxed rapturous. During this visit she receive. i -

deal of attention from Lady 1 iiinucrlu I, I, whom she had only known slightly in 'he season. Indeed, some degree of 1'rie. idship sprang up between them, as t o woman could mi ke herself mi it agreeable when she el'oso than Lady Dangerli.'id. rod June was exceedingly nmenaitle 10 kindness. j They met at a luncheon party where Pallas was r.lso a guest, and Lady Pangcrfiebl at or.ee proposed that they should do a dinner ami play together, ai d th's led to other hioetings of a similar nature.

lie was not ;l little puzzled, and con'ided his p .-rplcxitjy to bis friend Mrs. Trivnuimi. j "l can't njnke that lady out," he said. "For the In nit six months she has i'lil 11,0 dead. 1111-I ijow she's everything 1 lat's civil and delightful. What is she up toV" Mrs. TrevJinion smiled. "I have nry suspicions," she answore !. "What an-jthey? Do tell me?" ho tried, eagerly. . i "1 don't know that there is any harm in my telling you. When you left, off rour attentions to her ladyship, it na breause you hud fallen iu love wiih !..a:y .lane." "Yes?" iniiuiringly. "Well?" "Well, no'v that she sees you so nme'i in the society of another lady, she nn y think that by assisting to bring yoj together she is revenging herself on Lady Jane." Lady Nev'l was going back home i 1 the liest of spirits. She was looking for va-d immensely 1,0 seeing Tom and his heir; she was full of excellent resolution.' almost chiiritibly inclined even to Ames, and iu excellent humor with herself un3 everyone else. As the tnin drew up to the phi tf 01m Tom's big fi rm was distinctly visible. i.nd in a nioinert he had kissed her hoi rtily and was helping ber out, for Tom had no idea that it was indiscreet or vulgar to salute hU wife in public. Half an hour late;-, when she went into her boudoir, June found a note in Madge's handwriting lying on the table. Slu bid rather expe.'ted that her cousin wou .d he up at the Hall waiting to receive her. When she had road the letter the livi liest emotion was depicted 011 her coii:r:;v n.ince. It was rather fortunate that Ton had gene of? to his room to sec a iniin 1 11 business. Madge's epistle was nlnoei incoherent from indignation. Tom In d grossly insulted her that morning- hi. d called her ii spy iiiid a mischief lin ker, and fmally had forbidden lacr the home. June was still in her traveling ntti-e; it was scaCeely dark. A moment Jawr she was on! her way to the rectory, leaving word tint one ot the footmen wes to come there' in half an hour to set! lnr home. ' She found Madge alone in what used to be the school room; the rest of the family were cut. Madge, her eyes intinmmod n illi crying, threw herself on her cousin's invk and began 1 to sob violently. June wis scarcely less moved. "To think," gasp Hi Madge, "that Ti in, whom 1 was always so fond of. should behave so to 111c! I will never spenl: to him again, never, never! And oh, .li ny! I wouldn't mind a hit about not going to the Unll it it wasn't for you. But what shall I do without yon?" "Xotisenw, my d.ur." replied Juno, superbly. "If Torn forbids you tbe house, lie will have to tun. me out too. We s! til soon see tboiit that. Hut you ha v. n't told me yet what l as happened." "Well, this morning Aggie managed to steal off without ny seeing ber, but the moment I missed h-r 1 put on my hat and rushed off to tbe Hall. When 1 got to the drive, i saw her and Tom talking i 1 a very earnest uir.uacr and standiug u!l in tho middle of ti e road. Just bofor? I came up, Agnes left him and went tow.ird the bouse, and he came to meet me. looking very red and angry. And boor: 1 had time even to say 'Uood morning, or anything, lie liew at me. ' "Iook here!' he said, 'I must have an end to this sort of thing. I'm not g ing to have spies set on 1110 and tales folclied and carried to my wife!" June was almost stupefied by I his re' ehttioii. A chill passed through her hp:irt. She had i'ome home so full of pU'Ur-fiul anticipations, und here was Agnes in erposing 1111 re seriously than ever betwi'i-n her and hiippiuess. Here was fresh cause for straiigeinent lietwec-ti her and Toiu, for never, never would she tamely submit to this conduct on his part; never would she allow ber favorite cousin tc Insulted or to suffer for her uffection and championship. She and Tom ilid not meet until the gong sounded for dinner. Tom was a ao that his wife bad been down to the rentory, and felt dreadfully harnssid 111 d worried at the thought of the imiieii lii g uiiplcnsni tness between them, b'or be knew enough of June's temper to be (jt;,e sure she would not submit to the events of the m iming in a quiet and peacfnl miiimer: there was bound to be a storm. He was not in the least deceived by her ladyship'i, affable conversation during dii -ner; that was for the betielit of ihe seivnnts; he knew so well that little ronipiiny in.'ii ucr and what it portended v lie 1 employed: to him. She informed him of bis mother's health, of the people she had sect;, the places ot uuiiiM-im-ur site bail visited; she kept ii'i a How of convi rsathin; but something in her eye s:.id "by and by," and Tom felt ill at ease and miserable. When', finally, they were left alone, there was a pause of at least a mimne. It: was coni ng-now, and Tom knew (hi t 110 human power coi'bl avert it. "I have seen Madge," said her lady ship, looking over at Sir Theinus, ami her hcuittifu: eyes, in which he had seen s: nviny nvxids expressed, were lighted "y an ominous Hash.

Tom iiii-l ber glance rnflicr sadly, but was obliged to turn mvny from it ami concentrate bis attention on a wnliitir and j the nutcrackers, with which he sougut to occupy himself. j "'And t'div tells loc," pursued Jinn', "that j yon haw forbidden her tin- house." , Tom ;avo his walnut a sudden erack which reduced it to a jelly, and, tl r;iving it tuMc. he took aiother. "She "orced in:- to it," he snid. stiwly. "Her behavior has boon scaiuialou -; 110 ) one could put up with it." ' Ileal y!" uttered June, a little re; spot coming into either cheek and her eyes growing brighter, "llow'r" "How?" Her' Sir Thomas raised his voice a little. "By always dodging ami spying ibout in the most im propel nnd import ii cut manner." "Is then any reason." asked June, ber voice growing colder as her temper e nd wii ruicr, "why she should not coine up here?" ; "Not the least reason," ansvvered Toiu, warmly, "if she came up in a straig itforward u aniier aud with some busin -ss to iiiiiic about; but, when it Mas only to dog her sister's foot-deps and play the 'py, 1 tl '.

11tl1nr of "Little Women" Ifecelrca It from sin I itrliimnt Si rl, 'tie day 11 very p!e:is:int-fiieod lady 1 ante in nnd asked tot- something "very nice ami new" to read, says :i writer iu Success. A copy of "Little Women' had just come ill, and I had It snugly tucked under my arm, ready to send it out. I liked this woman very much; there was something about I er which appealed very strongly to me, mid I was moved to give her the b'st I had. So I took the little volume fioni undo" my arm and handed it to her, lolling ber thai it was the sweetest and nicest Kxik we had, and that I was glad to lie able to give It to her. She to-jk it from my hand, looked It over for a moment, then tossi-d it carelessly down, saying: "I've seen that before." "Isn't il Just beautiful," I exclaimed, ililnkiMg that my enthusiasm would moot with the usual response. Judge of my disappointment and fctiriirlse! "It's a good enough thing, I dare say." was the indifferent re;:iiy. That was too much for imp, and sprang to the defense of the book. For a wonder I have never been quite sure how It happened; I think it must have been because the editor winded to get rid of the persistent schoolgirl who was" bothering him to such an extent I had 1 on given Mie hook to review for a Boston paper and I am afnld, in my indignation, ihat 1 quoted the entli"; review to my helpless victim. She smiled sweetly, aud then, choosing a I100.V without my assistance, turned a way. I wi'iit up to the dtwk to send my rcjecioil volume to some one who did want it. when the head librarian spoke to me: "Do you know who that ".vas whom you were serving?" "Xo." I said, "I'm sure I iJon't." "Well, It was the author of 'Little Women,' Miss Louisa Alcott." I fairly gasped. "And I have lKen abusing her because she wouldn't take her own bonk from the library," Just then I heard a rlugiug laugh, and looking down to the front of the library, I saw the lady to whom I had been reading a lecture on l er lack of appreciation of my cherished Itook. in close conversation- with the proprietor. Both wore laughing, and jus: as I turned, both looked lu my direction, ami the proprietor beckoned to me to come to bin.. I was presented to Miss Alcott, who took my liaud lr. hers ami said to me: "Mv dear, that wan the choicest aud sweetest compliment I hare had paid my little laiok. I thank you for It." That was the beginning of the most cherished friendship of my whole life a friendship which lasted until the object of my devoted affect 1011 passed beyouil this earth. HuuiorouH Signs.

Tact. The wise lawyer adapts himself to the jury more than the evidence. An Illinois mau cites his own ease as an illustration. The evidence was con-, elusive, the law was ou his side, and when Ihe attorney arose 1:0 address the jury, he thought he had Hie ease won. Hi; lfliwiy reviewed the evidence, stated the law In the case, and was about to close his argument, when he noticed that one of the jury, a stolid old farmer, did not seem 10 be witl. him. The other eleven men had already decided the case iu their own minds, but the fanner was both stupid and obstinate, 'i'lic lawyer went over tin; case again, trying all sorts of arguments, but the fanner preserved his smpld stare. Tin 11 the attorney tried a new tack. He repeated his argument u:itil he came to a place where the opposing lawyer had made an egregious error, and then lit' leaned over to the old farmer and said: "And tiiere. my friend, that's where lie dropped bis watermelon." The old fanner laughed outright, and from that moment the case was won.
