HER MAY MORNING.

By CECILY ALLEN.

Copyrighted, 1908, by Associated Literary Press.

The world said Eleanor Carey would never marry again. Her first matrimonial experience had not been strewn with roses, though money for their purchase had not been lacking. And the events of her widowhood had been enough to turn any woman hard, cynical and unromantlc.

Not that Eleanor Carey looked either hard or imbittered as she presided over Mrs. De Witt Smith's tea table one balmy April afternoon. Robed in soft, clinging topaz colored silk, with heavy Incrustations of lace—the famed Carey laces—she looked not a day older than the daughter of the household who was that day making her social delmt. And. indeed, in point of years the fair debutante had little advantage over the fairer widow whose coming out bad been followed almost directly by her marriage with Henry Carey, retired broker, multimillionaire and confirmed bachelor.

Younger men had envied the fishy eyed groom. Older women had envied the radiant bride who rumor said had acquiesced smilingly in hbr bold Bale In the matrimonial market.

That she had paid the price of family honor and her father’s good name with outward calm and Inward revulsion was something Dame Grundy never guessed. Her reward' came sooner than she had dared to hope. Henry Carey died within a year of their marriage, and then came what rumor said was enough to harden any woman. Ghosts of Carey’s ugly past trouped forth after the reading of the will. His first cousin, apparently well started on his elder relative’s downward path, first laid siege to the widow’s heart and, being repulsed, then started the contest which had made Eleanor’s face familiar to ever!newspaper reader in America and arraigned the dead man in all the baldness of money drunk eccentricities. That any woman could believe in any man after going through what Eleanor Carey had gone through was past even the belief of her own somewhat cynical social set. So far Eleanor’s attorneys bad held out against the siege for the millions left entirely to her. So far Eleanor Carey had never been interviewed -by either public reporter or private friend. She had simply resumed her place in society after laying aside her mourning and let the legal and social tongueswag. So It happened that three men who had eocne to pay their respects to Mrs. Do Witt Smith and bort youngest daughter lingered to ptey court to the Musidlag aaataa at the tea tterfa.

The Second Section Contains a handsomely engraved may of the United States, and four smaller maps, in colors, showing Alaska and our Island Possessions. Also a map of the United States showing dates of accessions of territory from 1776 to the present day. This is dn exceptionally fine .map, is up to date in all details, shows all the state capitals and all the principal cities, railroads, etc. Around the margin of this section are good portraits of all the presidents from George Washington down to Theodore Roosevelt On the reverse side of this section is shown the population of all the principal cities of the United States arranged in alphabetical order by states, and growth is indicated by the census figures in parallel columns for the years 1880, 1890 and 1900. There is also much valu- • able data and interesting information about the possessions of the United States, and the Panama Canal Zone.

'One of these was Dr. Dalton, a man who had won his spurs in the world of medicine despite a large family fortune and assured social position. The second, Jimmy Darnton, was a newly made copper king from the northwest, whose family, well known in the eastern social whirl, had. sent him west to be forgotten as the family ne’er-do-well and were now only too glad to remember him and receive him with open arms. Neither of these men could be accused of caring how Henry Carey’s fortune was finally disposed of. The third man was Donald Gregory, born of a stern Scotch father and a mercurial French mother In the storm locked New England town where Eleanor Carey had lived in her girlhood. In his father’s eyes the young chap had wasted what should have been a useful youth. Today the stern old father unfortunately was not alive to witness the artistic triumphs of his son, but the mercurial little mother was waiting to welcome him In the New England town. He would have joined her days before but for having met Eleanor Carey the very day of his arrival In New York from Paris. And to each of these three men Eleanor Carey had given the same reply, as quietly and unemotionally as she had laid the extra lump of sugar on the saucer beside their cup of tea. *T am going to Craigmere the first the month. If it is for the best, I win send tor you to come there.”

"MY DEAR LITTLE SWEETHEART OF LONG AGO," IT RAN.

The Third Section Contains a map of the world engraved especially for /thia chart. It shows the ocean routes, and distances and length of time required to travel between different ports. The countries of the several continents are all brought out sharply in colors, and the capitals and principal cities are all shown. There are also TWO NEW MAPS OF THE Panama Canal Zone Showing in relief with actual measurements, the great work the U. S. government is undertaking there. The map shows the lock canal as proposed by the latest plans, the artificial reservoirs, dams, spillways and other important features. This section also shows photographs of all the rulers of the nations of the earth, and their flags and coats of arms. The reverse side gives an up-to-date historic sketch of the Panama Canal, profusely illustrated with pictures taken during President Roosevelt's recent trip of inspection to the Isthmus.

All the world seemed a-movlng the morning of May 1. Worried middle Class housewives wrangled with impertinent van and storage men, and humbler families carried their belongings or shoved them from old homes to new in a borrowed pushcart. Eleanor Carey’s town house was as serene as if the entire establishment, retinue of servants, canaries. Angora kittens, mistress and all were not to be removed that very afternoon to Craigmere. The mistress of the menage, in billowy masses of lace, awaited her morning mail and her coffee. When the latter had been served the maid reentered the room laden with letters and parcels. There were violets and lilies of the valley from Dr. Dalton, a corsage bouquet large enough to hide the front of Mrs. Carey’s traveling coat From Jimmy Darnton there were pink roses, long stemmed, perfectly tinted and crystalline with dew showered by the florist’s rubber sprayer. There were bulky envelopes from her lawyers and doffodlls from * girlish admirer. There were whines from individual mendicants and carefully phrased appeals from charity organizations. And, last the maid, with a correctly blank expression on her face, handed her mistress a curious floral offering, a basket made of soft willow twigs Interwoven and lined with damp moss, which overflowed with the most commonplace flowers—violets with only a faint woodland odor, a few sprigs of late arbutus, many, many faintly tinted hepaticas and some dainty Quaker ladies. Silently she sat fingering the fragile blossoms while her < deft fingered maid arranged the pink roses and the hothouse violets. At last, with a long drawn sigh, Eleanor Carey opened the envelope tied to the May basket by a blade of stout grass. “My dear little sweetheart of long ago,” it ran, “do you suppose for one Instant that I Intend to wait for you to bld me come to Craigmere? I will be there to bid you welcome—not on the stately terrace of your Italian villa, but down In the woods where I gathered these. And, what Is more, I want you to’come to me with clean hands and—an empty purse. Send for your lawyers. Tell them to take what they want and give the rest to the bounds who are fighting you. Turn your back on it all—the ghastly skeletons of the past, the scandal, the publicity, the bitterness of it all. You have never had a happy day since your purse was lined with his gold. Come, love; ’tls May day, and the world Is still young for you and me. Be the queen of my May today and for every. May day to oome. I am waiting.” For almost an hour Utemww Carey sat there, the’spring blossoms fading under her hot clasped hands Her breakfast turned cold. Her maM slipped in and out of the room, silent and apparently unobserving. Then her mistress turned to her soManly. “Adeii»e,caH my you tao<

the number, Broad. Tell Jenkins we will take the 1:45 Instead of the 3J.0 train for Craigmere. That is all.” At 4 o’clock that afternoon Donald Gregory waited on a moss grown log in the wood adjoining Craigmere. All around him bloomed the unfragrant, exquisitely tinted wild flowers, while dogwood petals fell in a snowy shower on thick moss and modest blooms alike. His Parisian friends would hardly recognize him. Gone was the Vandyck beard, gone the shabby corduroys, the flowing tie. In their stead Gregory was clean shaven as In the old days when he had made and filled Eleanor’s May basket year after year. For the corduroys he wore a light gray suit, a soft madras outing shirt, a soft gray silk tie. He looked the boyish lover, not the successful artist And* toward him, treading the pathway among the dogwood petals, came the lady of his heart clad in a simple frock of blue and white wash stuff and a low flat hat wreathed with flowers. She held out her hands. He took them and the smiling woman to bls heart. “Dear girl,” he murmured In her ear, “it is good to be young in May.” And the woman raised her eyes to his, eyes from which had passed every trace of bitterness and anxiety and disappointment, as she answered steadfastly, "Yes, Donald; it is good!”

Old Occupations.

- We are apt to forget perhaps how many strange sounding occupations have now become obsolete. One has only to glance down Stew's list of old city companies to wonder what in the world are inholders, upholders, curriers, foystars, lorimars, pattenmakers, yet they were important enough in Elizabeth's time, though they varied in importance, Inholders being allowed two mosses at the lord mayor’s feast and upholders only one mess. Hatband* makers had no business with the outward insignia of mourning, but, in the words of an old chronicler, “were incorporated by King Charles I. in the year 1638, when rich hatbands were much worn; but, that fashion having been many years set aside, the business is now much reduced, there being few of that profession.” So it is not •nly women who are responsible for that prime cause of unemploymentseasonal trades.—London Chronicle.

Queen Amelie's Courage.

The late king of Portugal once said. "If I were ever put to the test I should prove that, though the king of a small nation could not hope to defeat a powerful enemy, he could be brave apd loyal and could die for the honor of his flag.” “And I should not let the kteg go that way alone,” immediately added the queen, who is now a bereav•d widow. “A woman’s place Is not 00 *he battlefield,” remarked a courtier. **▲ woman’s place and a queen’s is alat her Huband’s side, through «*d report and Ml, and I abated go him,” said Queen Amelia.

THE HOME FRUIT GARDEN.

Suggestions For Making It Profitable as Well as Useful. The home fruit garden Is not only attractive when the strawberries are in bloom or in fruiting or when the raspberries, currants, pears, peaches or other fruits are ready to pick. The home garden Is ever an attractive spot. No member of the family, no visitor or other person can pass this garden devoted to the growing of the various fruits for home use without being attracted to it. Such a home fruit garden expresses much to the observer at all seasons of the year. It speaks of contentment, of health and of the home table embellished • with beautiful and delicious specimens of large and small fruits. The location of the home fruit garden should be as near the dwelling as possible. It may embrace an acne, half an acre, quarter of an acre or it may be confined to the rear end of a forty foot lot in town or city. If you have plenty of land, give the fruit garden

HOW TO PACK BERRIES.

liberal space. If you have simply a town or city lot, make the most of this small plot of ground at your disposal, remembering that by cutting back the new growth every year on the fruit trees many of them can be grown in small space or on the borders near fences. You may have one row devoted to grapevines, another row to raspberries, another row to blackberries, another to currants and several rows devoted to strawberries, each row running the whole length of the fruit garden and so planted as to admit of horse cultivation. The disposal of the rows of apple, peach, pear, plum and cherry trees can be easily arranged. Plant the rows of trees far enough apart to admit the various rows of small fruits between the rows of trees. Grapevines will thrive equally well when trained to the side of the house or to any other building or trained to the pillars of the porches of the house. If there is a surplus of fruit it may be easily marketed. If sent to the city it must be carefully packed. The crate shown In the sketch is equipped with a tight wooden cover, yet is sufficiently open to allow the air to circulate. It will hold about sixty quarts of herties. Read The Democrat for news.

Why MR Suffer? If you suffer pain froid any cause, Dr. Miles’ Anti- 1 Pain Pills will relieve it —and leave no bad after-) effects. That’s the important thing. Neither do they create a habit. More often the attacks become less frequent, or disappear altogether. Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills have no other effect except to relieve pain and quiet nervous irritation. "We are never without Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills. My husband and sen, aged 15 were always subject to sick headache until we began using these Pills, and they have broken them up entirely. Don’t think they have had to use them for six months. I recommend them to every one. A few weeks age I heard an old lady friend was sick. I went to see her. She was down wtth LaGrippe, and. nearly craay wMh awful backache. I gave her one of the Anti- Pain Pills and left another for her to take in a short time. They helped her right away, and she says she will never fee without them again. Last winter my husband was taken with pluerisy on both skies, and I know be would have died if it hadn't been for the Fills. In less than half an hour be was aim a Ung, and went to bod and slept.” MRS. G. H. WEBB, Austinburg, Ohio.
