ty. Elizabeth Clifton had been
married just a month, and the first
shadow had come over her happi
ness.
T suppose it whs some tiresome
business that upset Henry so,” she
sighed, “for it-was just after he
had read his letters; it must have
been the one thrust into .his pock
et that had the bad news. But how
completely his manner to mo
changed! I don't understand it.
When I asked him. if anything was
tue matter he actually mumbled
something-I couldu’t make out,
and then the clock struck, aud we
heard the whistle of the train; that
provoking train! it always comes
at the wrong time. But the worst
of all was his not kissing me good-
by! To be sure, he had done sa
once when he first got up from the
breakfast table, thinking he would
not wait for the mail, aud I know
he was iu a hurry when that whis
tle sounded, for it just gives him
time to reach the station; but it.
wouldn’t have taken a minute to
say good-by again, and instead he
ushedoff without a word!”
By this time the young wife, ip
ipite of herself, was crying quiet
ly. But she was a brave girl, and
did not give way any more than
she could Help. After a little she
decided to go ont and lake a wyilk.
She would probably have time be-
fore her mother-in-law had risen,
and the fresh air might do her
good. For she would not sit and
mope any longer; sc?, jumping up
suddenly, Elizabeth carefully re
moved all traces of weeping, aud
put on her garden hat. She was
about to step to the door when a
knock sounded thereat.
Looking hastily in the mirror to
see whether any tear stains, were
visible on her face she opened the
door as little as possible, that she
might not be seen. Her mother-
in-law’s maid stood in the hall."
“Mrs. Clifton is ready to see yon,
ma’am, whenever you wish to
come,” the girl said respectfully.
“Very well, Jane; I widbe there
iu a few minutes.” And giving
another peep into the glass to be
sure that her eyes-were not red,
Elizabeth went to make her regu
lar morning visit to the invalid.
The young couple had the first
part of their honeymoon in a pleas-
ant trip to Niagara, returning
thence to pay a visit to the elder
Mrs. Clifton in her pretty country
home in one of the picturesque val
leys of-Peunsylvnnia.
The bride had never seen her
husband’s mother, and rather
dreaded the ordeal of making her
acquaintance. She fonndher very
charming, but was haunted by a
secret fear that, her admiration
-was not returned; she fancied that
she was undergoing a critical scru
tiny from the fond parent whose
only child she had married. This
mornings Elizabeth particularly
shrank from the interview, for she
feared that her face “was a telltale
one. -However, the visit most-be
gone through with, so, summoning
; all her courage, shelioldly knock
ed at the door of her mother-in-
law’s sitting room z and was at once
admitted.
“Good morning, my dear,” said
■
the eider Mrs. Giifton in a low,
sweet voice, and the young lady
kneltdo -receive her usual kiss.
The invalid pressed her pale
thin lips against Elizabeth’s soft
rosy ones,- and then, laying h<-r
hand gently on her da‘nghter-in
law ? s shoulder, looked mildly, but
searchingly into the upturned face.
“How do you feel this morning,
mother?” asked Elizabeth gently..
“Very well, thank you, for hie.
But how are you, my child? Didn’t
ypu sleep well last night? Tour
eyes look dull and heavy.”
“I have, a slight headache,” an
swered-the young wife, hoping
thus to account for her clouded
face. “How did you think. Henry
seemed when he stopped iuHo say
good morning and good-by to you
before he came in to breakfast?’'
she continued, trying to speak
carelessly.
“He looked very well—splen
did,” was the reply." “Didn’t you
ihink so, too?” - •
“Oh, yes, certainly,” said Eliza
beth hastily.-"
‘Itis too bad foryou that he had
to rush off to'at tend to that both
ersome business of mine, leaving
you all alone, with nobody but a
stupid old woman to keep you
company; but never rniud it; it
won’t take him more than a day or
two, and the^matter was very im
portant—it involved considerable
money. Besides,” with a little
laugh, “the honeymoon ended yes
terday; you must come down out of
Paradise.” ~ .
‘■Don’t trouble about that, I am
not in the least lonely,” answered
Elizabeth, “and, as you say, the
honeymoon is over.”
But her heart sank within her at
the omnious words. Was this what
Henry’s manner that morning
meant?
“My dear,” said the elder lady,
closing the book 1 which had l:ec-"n
lying open on her lap and putting
it on a wicker chair that stood
close by*'' “I was only joking;.!
hope aud pray that Henry’s and
your honeymoon will never be
over.' As long as you love eacli
other yon have a glimpe of Para
dise.”
There was silence a few mo
ments. Elizabeth seated herself
iu a rocking chair, tookofi her hat,
which she had forgotou iu her
preoccupation, and began talking
about indifferent matters.
At last, in obedience to her
mother-in-law's’ J suggestion, and
thankful to be - released, young
Mrs. Clifton started out for a walk.
It would be better than staying in
the house, trying to sew ' or read,
and there was a shady wood uear
by where she could be nndisturb-
ed. It opened on the high road,
but a fence kept out "all intruders.
As Elizabeth neared her destina
tion she noticed that a tail tree out
side the wood was bent and nearly
uprooted, while the branches were
almost denuded of the leaves which
only two days before had glowed
in the red and gold glory of 'au
tumn. Then she remembered that
it had stormed the previous day-—
one of those violent- storms which
sometimes come early and rob the
forests' of their ""foliage. With a.
shiver Elizabeth wondered if a
chill had come over every one—
was the winter indeed come?
Left alone in her quiet room the
elder Mrs. Clifton leaned back in
her arm-chair looking gravp.
“Poor child! I wonder if they
have had their first quarrel? Well,
I suppose it must come some time.
They will be all right by evening.
I am sorry Henry was obliged to
be gone all day; 1 wish "I conid
"help them,” and she ended her so
liloquy with a sorrowful shake of
the head.
In tlie meantime - Elizabeth did
not get a chance to enter the wood;
for, as she stopped by the" beut
tree,- she glanced up the road aiid
saw in the’ distance a party of ladies
and gentlemen whom she fancied
she. recognized. They evidently
knew her, for they waved their
handkerchiefs, shoaling and gestic
ulating frantically. As they"came
nearer she saw that they were the
young folks belonging to- several
families in the neighborhood, ail of
whom had called on her and at
whose houses she bad visited.
Elizabeth stood her ground. ^
“There is no use in retreating
into the wood,” she told herself;
“they would only follow and hnut
me up. I must submit.”
-—She did si very -unwillingly,
however, for she did not feel ia the
least -like speiug strangers; she
consoled herself by thinking that
they probably had- some object in
view aud would soon go on their
way. She was disappointed in
this, for no;soouer had greetings
been exchangedjHban the foremost | when addressing his- wife, but a J ALLIANCE LECTURE SYSTEM.
of the party—Miss Earle, a yqun
lady to whom Elizabeth had taken
quite a fancy aud who was a favor
ite of Mrs. Clifton^—cried out:
“How lucky! We were just- com
ing to the'house after you. We
had planned a picnic" tor to-day,
but yesterday’s storm has made the
woods too damp, so we have de
cided to take a straw ride instead,
Yon must come—1c As great fun—
and yonr husband, too; isn’t he at
home?” • -
Mr. Clifton was called awaj to
day on business,” answered Eliza
beth, “and Pin .afraid I can’t leave
mother for. any length of time.”
Bul N the party would not accept
this excuse. Mrs. Clifton, the el
der, was usedto be ing'alone—they
knew that, and-she—j-oungJIis.
Clifton—must be lonely, with her
husband away.
Protestations were useless; so
finally, seeiug therejvas no way of
escape, Elizabeth yielded graceful
ly, only stipulating that she must
tell her mother-in-law’s where she
was going. Two or three of the
party wanted to go in her stead,
but .this she positively rsfused to
allow. There was a farm a short
distance up - the road, where their
coiiveyanco awaited them, aud Mrs.
Clifton agreed to meet them there.
Some of the people would have in
sisted on accompanying her; but
being possessed of quick intui
tion, aud divining that the young
bride was in-no mood for company.
Miss Earle dragged the whole
party toward the meeting place,
leaving Elizabeth to hurry 'home
alone.'
If they have had r. tiff she had
better forget her misery in compa
ny, after she has had time to re
cover herself,” was Miss Earle’s
wise reflection:
Young Mrs.? Clifton informed
her mother-iu -law of the invitation,
which she was of course urged to
accept, said good-by, and went to
her own room to make some
changes in her toilet. She linger
ed over the process as long as pos
sible, patting off the moment of
joining the merry makers until she
reltehe must go. Then she start
ed out at a very laggard pace.
Hardly had Elizabeth left the
room when her husband knock
ed ai his mother’s door.
“Why, Henry! you have- got
back very early,” cried the invalid
in surprise, when her sou appear
ed in answer to her “Come in.”
“Yes, Ormsby was away; I
couldn’t do anything. I shall have
to go back to-morrow,” Mr. Clifton
answered, as he stooped to kiss tlie
face upturned toliis. “If I hadn’t
known you expected ms home this
evening I would have remained all
night.’.’
This total ignoring of his wife
startled Mrs. Clifton, find one look
into her son’s stern face strength
ened her fears.
“Poor babies! they must really
sadden cold gust of wind made
him put it On again. After she | National Farmers Alliance and Indus-
said I
then she spoke.
“Henry, my dear boy,” she said
gently, “if you and Elizabeth have
had a disagreement find her at once
and make it up, Dofi’t let it go
on, I beseech you.”
“Mother, it is much worse
than" a disagreement. Has
she said auythingto you?” was the
reply.
j, “Nothing, my son, and I do not
wish to know; it is entirely be
tween yon two. I only beg you to
do as-! say.” -
There was silence for a moment
or two, and then Henry asked
gloomily:
“Where is Elizabeth ?”
Mrs. Clifton explained, her
daughter-! u-law’s whereabouts,
adding:
“If you go at once, Henry, yon
may be able to overtake her. before
she reaches the rest of the party.'
And she raccompanied the words
with a beseeching look.
An instant’s hesitation, and with
an abrupt go8d-by the young man
left the room, while his mother
leaned back with an air of relief.
’. “It will surely all come right
now,” she told herself.
Young Mrs. Clifton was . just
leaving the wood to set out on the
high road toward the farm when
she heard her name called in a
voice she recognized at once-as her
husband’s, though the tone was
new to her ears. She waited’until
he came up to where she s^ood.
Then, iu a very ceremonious man
ner, he accounted - for nis unex
pected appearance. In a tone
equally cold Elizabeth informed
him where she was going, pointing
toward-, the farm honse as she
spoke.
had finished speaking he
gravely:
“Elizabeth, I have something to
say to yon. Will you give up ibis
pleasure party, if I make your ex
cuses to them, and listen to me for
a few minutes?”
Theadea of giving up tins pleas
ure party struck young Mrs. Clif
ton- with u sense of bitter absurdi
ty.^ For a moment a spirit or defi
ance possessed her, and the answer
No” trembled on - her lip. In
that short space ot time her life’s
.happiness, perhaps, hung rn the
balance.
“1 will wait here,”. Elizabeth
said at last, and, lifting his hat
very ceremoniously,* her husband,
with a formal “Thank you,” walk
ed rapidly up the road.
The minutes seemed like hours
nntil he returned. Elizabeth stood
motionless just where he had left
her. He came quite close and
looked keenly into her face.
“I have a letter here I would like
you to read,” he said, iu horribljr
judicial.tones; “but first let me ex
plain how it came into my poses-
sion. If you will loos at t he ad
dress yon will notice that the word
‘Mrs.’ is written very much like
‘Mj.’—the ‘s’ is hardly noticeable.
Jane gave it to me, this mornin
with my mail. I hastily broke it
open without even glancing at the
outside, not being a woman, aud—
perhaps you can explain the rest.”
Elizabeth received the extended
envelope mechanically,looked at the
the direction and then took out the
inclosure—two sheets of closely
written paper—looked at that aiid
then up at her husband.
“I have not read it- all,” he said,
in a very quiet tone.
•‘Perhaps if you had you wo.nld
have seen it was not for me,” his
wife answered, just as quietly.
Elizabeth felt only a terrible an
ger—all other feelings seemed in
abeyance. She looked at the let
ter again, while her husband
watched in dull amazement. What
did this mean? Was it guilt or iu-
nocence?
Suddenly it flashed over her
what her husband must have felt
when he saw the words of endear
ment ou the page—“My own dar
ling”—that must have stared at
him the instant he unfolded the
sheet.
Henry,” she begau, lifting her
clear eyes to his, “if you had shown
me this before yon went away”—-
“I had not time,” he hastily in?
terrupted.
But she went on without heed
ing him: “It would-have saved us
both a very nnhappy morning. I
have been foolisli,I knew that, and
so I did not dare to tell yon. Henry,
that letter was intended for Cousin
Kate Ashton. See, the signature

ment," would not- even permit a
correspondence? In a moment of
weakness i said he'might address
his letters to me, and.then I would
re-inclose them to^Kate. I have
been sufficiently punished for my
folly.”
Elizabeth, forgive me!” was all
her husband could say, and for an-
-sriver she smiled at him through
her tears.
Presently Henry told her how
near he came not showing her the
letter.
“It was my dear mother who in
duced me to do it,”- he said tender
ly, and Elizabeth whispered: “Let
us go-lb thank liar;.she need not
know how foolish I have been.”
'Dear, we will lock the secret of
onr folly in our own bosoms,'
Henry answered; “and - perhaps
we have learned q lesson, we shall
never forget, this one Octaber
morning.”

To the. Members of the National
Farmers Alliance" and Indus
trial Union:
In compliance with instructions
from the National Legislative
Council of the National Farmers
Alliance and Industrial Union, I
present herewitlna plan for the or
ganization of a Lecture System
throughout our entire order, which
was adopted by the council at its
meeting in the city of Washington,
February 4, 1S91. .
I was farther instructed to des
ignate the date ou which the first
meetings or the' county and district
legislative councils should be held.
All lecturers of the subordinate
bodies of onr order, together with
the connty lecturers of their re
spective counties, will meet at the
same time and place at which their
county meeting is held in the
mouth of April next.
All connty lecturers will meet
on Wednesday, the 6th of May
next, at such place within their
congressional districts as may be
designated by their state presi
dent, for the purpose of electing !
lecturer for their respective con
gressional districts, and for the
transaction of such other business
as may-come before them.
The presidents of the states will
at once designate to the county
legislative councils the place at
which the district legislative coun
cils, respectively, will meet on the
6th day of May next, and will also
indicate to the district councils at
their meeting, the place and the
date at which the state legislative
council will meet..
Believing that the plau adopted
will prove au efficient and powei-
ful- auxiliary in onr work, "as a
great and active educational agen
cy, the national legislative conucil
cordially and earnestly recommend
it to the entire brotherhood
throughout the-United States for
immediate adoption. It is com
mended as a means of securing
that unity of action aud uniform
co-operation which is absolutely
essential to the success of cur
cause.
-Let us all resolve that the year
1891 shall be distinguished above
all -the years of our history- for
vigorous, active, successful work.
Let our great ord sr be thoroughly
aligned on the principles we have
enunciated, and assm-ed victory-
will be ours.
Select the members best, quali
fied in subordinate, coGnty and dis
trict bodies, for this important and
responsible work.
Have this plan read and discuss
ed in evesy organization belonging
tc-our order.
Let the watch-word, “Forward,”
pass along the lines. ■
