She was postmistress nod store olerk at the Corner* Day after day for yean she hod sorted over tho stage tnoll* tho county papers and the letters. Tho day had boon a busy one in tho store, and to add to the confusion Lydia had recently bought a now set of boxe* to take tho place of tho dingy little portholes which for £5 rears had done continuous service under differ ent postmasters. A carponter had worked that afternoon tearing away the old oaso and generally overhauling tho postoffleo end of the storo. Lydia was between 40 and 60. “Nigh on to 46, boin two year older’n my boy Jerry,” old Mrs. Davidge said to her frionds when Lydia's ago was disoussed. “But, law! sho don't look it. an she don't act it. Them tow headed girls never look cz old ez they really be.” Tho carpenter stopped hammering and camo to where the postmistress was tan ning herself. lie was shuffling awkwardly half a dozen letters, yellow with age and somewhat rat eaten. “See here, Lyddy, are these any good?” asked he, holding out tho letters. 4 ‘I found ’em down behind tho walhsooting. I s’po.?o they’re just trash what got brushed asido an no account whatever.” Tho postmistress of Canaun Corners took tho letters with but llttlo show of In terest. Poople were always running to her with trifles and asking her unneces sary questions. Twonty-flvo years! Yes, it had been just that long slnco she had seen John Butterworth—slnco ho gave her a lover's look and then, cheerily assuring her that they would soon meet again, had gouo to New York. Thoi? letters had been earnest and full of feeling, and Anally ho wrote asking her if sho would marry him, telling her that ho had not been successful in business as yet, but that if sho said “yes” ho would como back to Canaan Corner* and they would go to Chicago. Bravely had sho penned a favorablo an swer, and then sho waited. Ah, the dying of a great hoped How tenaciously It clings to llfel How anxiously sho awaited tidings from John Butterworth 1 But nono camo. Tho sum mers camo and went. Twonty-flvo years ago, nnd.she had heon thinking of John Butterworth that day. “Looks ez if rats had chawed ’era sotno, don’t it?” asked tho carpenter ns Lydia stepped oloscr to tho window to inspect tho musty lettors. Tho very first ono of tho lot gave her senses a shock—John But terworth, Bull’s Hoad Hotol, Bowery. N. Y. City.” Tho red sun turned black. Tho Canaan Corners postofllco began spinning around nnd bobbing up and down. A hurricane Beamed to catch hor and dash her head against a distant cliff. “There, there, Miss Lyddy,” said tho big carpenter, fanning her with his straw hat. “Tho heat’s been too muoh fur ye, I guess.” Trembling llko a child, she onco more looked at the lottor—-hor own lofcter of no- ceptanco—plighting hor troth for bettor or for worse, through ovll and good report. Ifc seemed to her as if hor heart would burst In agony. SJ10 know now why John Butterworth had never coino back. She had appeared to him as unwilling to share his fortunes. Lydia Sponcer was a firm woman. In justico to horsclf sho determined to mako an effort to reach John Butterworth with tho belated lettor. It had no postmark. Taking the markor, sho removed tho figures “94” and substi tuted “CO.” Then, writing a note to the proprietor of tho Bull’s Head hotel, NcW York city, sho told him to forward tho letter to Clit- cago. Nervously she let it fall into tho gaping mouth of tho mailbag. -Tho stage took it on its way that night. * * * * * * Two weeks Inter a gray haired man, ono of Chicago’s lending capitalists, was oho morning opening his mnll. Ho came to a yellowed onvolopo which had been for warded from New York. It bore several rubber Stamp marks, and a Chicago post offleo clerk had written on It: “Try 861 Dearborn.” “gendJnck In,” said John Butterworth to his head clork. “Jack, ray hoy,” said the father in a low volco nnd nervously, “read this old lotted which has been 85 years in reaching me. “Jock,” continued the elder after his request lind heon complied with, “you will hnvo to postpono your vacation.

Looking through tho glass case, lio saw a golden haired woraun, her face close to tho table top. Sho was resting hor averted face on her forearm and sobbing like 0 child. “Lydia,” said John Butterworth as ho took her in his arms and raised her, “Lydia, sweetheart, I didn't get tho letter till throe days ago In Chicago.

No Good Plan Has Yet Been Evolved Tor Its Utilization. A Philadelphia engineer has figured out that an inch of rain falling on an area of a square inilo in equivalent fa nearly 17,600,000 gallons wolghing 145,-/ 800,000 pounds, or 72,600 tons. Assuming this water to hnvo fallen from clouds about half a mllo, or, say, 0,000 foot above tho earth', wo havo for tho onergv represented by It about 29,000 horsopowa. With pumping machinery ^working nt the low rato of consumption or two pounds of coal por horsepower por hour, it would tako 200 gross tons of ooal to rniso tho water represented by an inch of rain on a square mllo to tho nssumed height of 8,000 feet. Asa matter of fact, rain often falls from clouds which aro nt much groator height than 8,000 feet uhovo tho ground, so that tho figures just given aro quite conservative ones. With ull tlie talk that there has boon about utilizing wnrto energies it seoms just a little peculiar thr . no promising scheme hus yet boon evolved to turn to good account tho prodigious powor wasted which thus for has heon shown to go on with overy rainfall of any account. And yet, whllo writing, a project comes to mind which was advanced about ten years ago, apparently In good faith, by some enterprising genius in the West Indies, to accomplish oxnctly this saving. What ho proposed to do was to conduct tho water from euch roof during heavy tropical rains into a main plpo supplying a small tur- blno coupled to a dynamo. Tho clootrlol- ty so developed by passing showers wus to bo stored In accumulators, ami there, as they became charged in variable times, do- pending, of course, on tho rainfall, were to be collcctod and stored at central dopots, from which tho powor was afrerward to bo distributed. Unfortunately, however, this enticing scheme did not materialize, so that the field Is still open for some one else.—Cassier’s Mogazlne. Only n Man. A small boy still in kilts was standing on the sidewalk in front of a house on Clifford street tho other day aa a young business man went hurrying past. The llttlo follow stopped directly In bln way: “Hay,” ho asked in chubby volco, “doesn’t Aunt Bessie livo hero?” “I'm sure I don't know, child,” Answer ed tho man kindly. “What is your aunt's Other name?” “It’s just Aunt Bosslo. Sho !« in that house.” “Why don’t you ring the ball?” “It's too high up.” 8o the stranger gave the bell a strong pull, and in a moment tho door was opened by a pretty young girl, who gave a cry of surprise, followed hy an exclamation of de light, n* she caught the child In her arms and kissed him, while hor faco expressed her pleasure. “Are you Aunt Bessie?” Innocently asked the yonng man on the steps. Ho meant no ham, but Aunt Bessie Instant ly froze, and no had tho pleasure of (tear ing the unh town infant whom be had helped say as f <he door closed: “He’s just a man.’’—Detroit Free Pres* Why Teas Are Popular.
