EDNA'S HANDKERCHIEF.
Olie and Edna wr-e gre- I friends
and iiuimau: associates, and lots
uf jolly good old line; together as
tbeir hoin< • were not lar apart. 7 hv
had gone to school together, were in,
the same studies and classes, had been
brought up in the same Sunnay school
and were now members of the same
methodist church: They had, in a
great measure, enjoyed eacli others
sorrows, from then infancy up to the
present.
Olio was a beautiful blonde with
flaxen b;‘ir, large soft blue eyes and
charming smiles, winning scores of
ardent admirers; and <hus becoming
quite a favorite among herlurge circle
of associates. Edna was a brunette
with raven cutis, deep blue eyes, ex
pressing intelligence, amiuble manners
and winsome ways They we e now
juat in the bloom of young womanhood
both bcirg about the same age;
and Olie was soon to be the happy
bride of a wealthy and prosperous
young merchant who tesides in an ad
joining county. Olie had spsnt her
last day with Edna just before the
wedding should take place, and they
had talked of the coming event w ith
great pleasure and fond anticipations
and yet as great ss their joy was, they
could not help entertaining the sad
thought of parting with each other,
knowing that they would be several
miles apart, and thru tho idea of one
being married and the other left alone,
was almost more than they could bear
Edna had presented to Oiie one of
her favorite pictures, of a grand cat
teract (for nature bad endowed her
with the delicate touch of artis.’sbrudi
tor her bridal present. October’s cool
breeze sighs in the stately oaks, and
gently wafts tho sweetest notes of the
cheerful mockingbird in melodistic
harmony with the fluttering foliage of
aututun, arrayed in nature’s grandest
display of gcorgous tints, of every hue
from the rich erneral green to the most
delicate pink and azure blue. Reia
tives and friends are gathered in the
spacious parlor of the old farm house,
the lamps are lighted casting their mel
lew rays on the richly dceoiated room
exhibiting the pure white fragrant
gems, so appropiiatc and emblematic
ef the peaco and happiness of the
young couples future life, when they
have launched oat on life’s rough and
stormy ocean, to be dashed by its sur
ging billows. Merry vnires mingled
together; the stalwart youth and the
flaxen haired girl were soon made one
oengratulations extended, good bves
said; and the happy couple are off for
their future home, some twenty miles
away. The two associates are now
separated, and timid Edna feels lonely
though she is still lingering about the
rural old home with the merry group
of youngs'eis who still remained. But
tomorrow Edna is to take themorning
train for a long ride, and spend sever
ly months in the bustling city with an
old friend who had lately married.
A year has ] assail and Edna is at
her old country home again, busyirg
hersalf preparinga sumptuous feast—
she too it soon to be the bride of a
bright, thoughtful, earnest, well-to do
young man; and they anticipate a
grind affair. Peer orphan Edna is
grateful that she will now have some
one whom she can trust, and whose
itroag arm she can lean her frail body
for support. She now thinks of her
good old ohristiau mother who peace
fully sleeps in the churchyard, and oh,
how lonely homo had seemed since
death had claimed that precious one.
Mo peaceful cottage overgrown with
flowericg evergreens, no etately man
sioti of the rich, is exempt from the
intrusions of the black winged ange
of grief. But Edna in her own bap.
pinets, fondly indulging the cherished
hope of the near futures bountifulstore
®t pleasure, is forgetful of dear Olie
and fai's to extend her an invitation
to her weddiag supper. No, it is not
hardly forgetfulness, but she only
thinks of her old chum as a married
lady, and getg up the idea that she
would uotenjoy mingling with a group
of merry youngsters. But Olie,
though several miles away, has heard
of the wedding and eagerly waits for
an invitation, meanwhile she had gone
on a pleasure trip to the capital city
and purchased a bridal present in turn
for Edna, A beautiful white embrsid
ered silk handkerchief. The expected
invitation ’did not come, and poor
Olie felt slighted, and giew indignant
over the circumstance deciding she
would keep the handkerchief for a
better purpose, and Edna would never
know about it.
The hour for fhe wedding has ar
rived—many have assembled, the
house is packed to overflowing a din
of voices and merry laughter is heard
ili> clergyman repeats the-ceremony,
sail charming little Edna with crimson
cheek, and beaming eyes is now a hap
py wife. The delicious viands are
sipped with great relish. Edna had
not even once thought of her friend
being hurt, or in the least disappoint
ed, as Olie’s thoughtful mother had
purchased a bridal present in turn, pre
scrtling it to Edna in her daughter*
name, however keej-tug her in per
fect ignorance of the matter. The.sil
ver set was highly appreciated by the
new housekeeper as she often thought
of her old friend and meditated over
the times they had spent in early
childhood hours, of the jolly days
passed in youthful charms. Three
long years have passed and Edna hap
pens to get into the secret of the
handkerchief she didn’t get. Her
heart chills as she realizes the unhappi
ness of her friend caused through her
own negligence. No, she had not
meant any coldness to Olie but alas !
she has received it back in full meas
ure. The marriage cannot be tecalled
and ita to-> late to apologize, so time
must erase the wounds fancied
by the fleeting youth
Many long years havo passed and
Olie and Edna are growing old, each
has a largs and interesting family of
bright.inteltigent boys and girls; they
live many miles apart, and the chil
dren nro wholy unacquainted, have
scarcely ever heaad each others family
r.ace, for the story of the handker
chief has been (orgotton long ago, ami
the old friends seldom ever mention
each-others name. Edna’s husband
is now a prosperous merchant in a
beautiful little town nestling in the
mountains, and littls Lurllne, then
first born, it a handsome young lady,
very much like her mothci when she
was young. She is the pride of her
fond and affectionate father, Mr.
Ileatherly, and he often remarked to
his wife: “I can sc* you just as you
was when I claimed you as tny bride.”
Lurline must soon return to college
for her last term, she will be a gradu
ate in a short time, and her mind is
all absorbed in the one thought of
careful study and receiving highest
honors She parts with thu dear
ones at home, presses many warm
lasses on her invalid mother’s sallow
checks, adding that her school life
would be ended, emphasizing the glad
thought of being ut home all the time.
Lurline is in school again, the term
;s drawing to a close, the graduating
class is making great preparations, t
morrow the < eminence meat sermon
will be delivetd. The gir in white
silk robes receive highest honors, tlirir
faces beaming happiness. Mrs. hast
ily who is seated far back in the
crow ded bull recognizes a face, in the
group of girls just addressed, so
much like hor old friend whom she
has not seen for years, “surely it
must be one of her children,*' and her
thoughts wandered back to her’s and
Edna's girlhood, almost fancying that
they wore at the old country homes
again romping in childish glee. She
sat almost dreaming, tier eyes teemed
fixed on the face that seemed so fa
uiiliar. “Yes it must be one of her

Emulsion
of Cod-liver Oil with Hypophos
phites, can be taken as easily in
summer as in winter. Unlike the
plain oil it is palatable, and the
hypophosphites that arc in it aid in
digestion and at the same time tone

For sickly, delicate children, and
for those whose lungs are affected,
it is a mistake to leave it off in the
summer months. The dose may be
reduced if necessary.
We recommend the small size
especially for summer use, and for
children, where a smaller dose is re
quired. It should be kept in a cool
place after it is once opened.

girls,” She was anxious to meet the
young girl and know positively that
it was Edna Weatherly’s daughter.
I shall just go and ask her before I
eave tho hail, :f I can get through the
crowd to whore the is, and then ex
plain to her wby i aid it. So Oiiie
Eastily began to elbow her way t, >
the girl. ‘ Excuse me please, is your
n.-ima Iteathcrly?” “Yes mam.”
And your mother’s name is Edna?”
“Gh yes, do you know her?” “I once
kntw her a long time r.go, but haven’t
known anything of ber for many years
didn’t even know whether she was liv
ing or not, but recognizing your face
(you are so much like your dear old
mama) I could not go Jiway without
speaking to you. I ans so glad to
inovt you Lurline,” Thank
you. My name is hastily, you must
call at my home tomorrow, before go
ing away, and meet my family. Please
call at eleven o’clock in the morning
at 47 Nut Street and dine with me.’’
‘‘Oh thank you Mrs. Eastiley, .but it
seems impossible for ms to call, as I
had thought of going off on the morn
ing train.” “Do wait for the evening
train, and come just for yoift dear old
mothers sake, I must have a little con
versatiou with you betore you go, you’ll
come will you not* Yes I know you
wiil if you are any kin to your angei
mother. Good night, I’ll expect vou.”
“Good night.” I.urhnc could not
think of disappointing one who was
so kind, and loted tier because she
had known her mother- Lurline was
rather timid and thought much that
night about tho embarrassment of
calling on a family whom sho had
never seen. She dressed herself in an
evening toilet of charming pink silk
with dainty frills of white lace and
riots of white ribbons, a broad brim
leghorn hat, encircled with a cluster
of pink rose buds, calling precisely at
the hour suggested. The family were
all eagerly waiting to meet the new
friend its their mama had explained
to them. Mrs Eastily introduced
Lurline to six healthy boys, with
dimpled clink* and rougiah smiles,
four blue eyed girls, with massive
flaxen curls; from Ralph the eldest
sou of twenty two on down to the
prattling little infant. They all give
her a cordial welcome, and chatted
away merrily banishing all Lurline’s
timidity, and passed tho time very
pleasantly, l'orgettiug that they were
new acquaintance* Ralph’s large
blue eyes were almost transfixed on
tlm face of Lurline, her soft bre wn
eyes aud massive dark culg, her crim
son cheeks with sweetest dimples,
rose tinted lips and delicate features
awakened a strong emotion tbit with
b!d him like* a magic spell. “She is
so charming” he thought md almost
breathed his thoughts alouc, 'oh that
I only knew Jher well.” The hours
seemed liko minutes since ho had met
this sweet little girl, just the ideal of
hi*.heart. “Only an lionr ’till the
evening train is due, and she will soon
begone, and perhaps I’ll never see
her again. No, no 1 I can t think so,
I must see her again, but then her
heart may ho won by another already ’>
llow should he know, ne could not
think of soliciting a correspon fence
on so shot an acquaintance lost she
should he offended. He determined
t> show her some -ippreciation of her
short call ou the family at his mothers
request, offered to accompany her to
the depot, which she accepted with a
pleasant smile, that was still moie
captivating to poor impatient Ralph.
As they passed through the bustling
streets, lie expressed a desire for
farther acquaintance, and summonsing
up all his courage just ns the train
lushed up he told her be was anxious
to know of her safe arrival *t home,
adding in a low tone, ‘ will you please
write me Kalph duly mcoved the
information of Eurline a safe journey,
and to his hearts delight a regular
correspondence was soon obtained.
1 was not long before ha began to
make frequent visits to the mountain
yillage, and ere another twelve months
had passed another wedding is chimed
out bv the sweet-toned church bells,
tne organ peals forth in mellow tones
the grand march. Amid these sweet
sounds there can be no discord. Ohe
now brings out the old bridal present
that has been put away so long, and
yellow with age, presents it to Lurline,
—“tis old, has been lost thess twenty
two long years.” So Edna's hadker
ohief that was “lost” has been fouud,

were in their youth.
