Independent in. All Things.
CONYERS, ROCKDALE CO.. GA., APRIL 18,1881.
Arid tlie bride led Miss Eudocia
Eames triumphantly into a pretty little
apartment, all paneled rose and silver,
with a white velvet carpet, windows
draped with muslin and pink ribbons,
and a tiny conservatory opening out of
it.
“And are yon happy?” said Miss
Eames, interrogatively.
“Oh, 1 am the happiest girl in all the
wide world!” said Ethel.
Mr - North came home to dinner,
presently—a dark-browed, corsair-look
ing man, with one of those mysteriously
handsome faces whicii inspire all school
girls with the idea that there must be
some secret chapter in his life. But he
made himself very agreeable, and Miss
Eudocia began to relent in her opinion
of him.
The next day she was beginning an
elaborate piece of worsted work in the
pink-and- silver drawing-room, when the
maid knocked at the door.
“Please, ma’am,” said Phebe, in a
perturbed manner, “she will come in I
And she won’t send up her card ! And
she won’t wait in the little green recep¬
tion-room for me to go up to my mis
tress ! And please, ma’am, here she is
on the stairs now !”
“Phebe,” said Miss Eames, “what on
earth do you mean ?”
At the same minute Ethel North came
softly in from an opposite door, and
found herself faced by a tall apparition
in black, with a dusty crape veil, hag¬
gard eyes, and hair originally black as a
raven’s wing, but now thickly streaked
with silver.
“Ah!” said she, as Ethel looked at
her with surprised blue eyes, “so it’s
you, is it, that have married my bus
band?”
“Married vour husband !”
Et M couid on, gafcp out the words
after her in breathless amazement.
“Yes!” uttered the other woman,
with a chuckle of malicious satisfaction.
“But don’t think that you are to keep
him, in spite of your blue eyes, and
yellow hair, and pretty pink cheeks. I
was pretty once, in the days that are
past. I have the first right to him, and
I mean to have him. I’ve followed him
half over the world, and I’ve traced him
out at last. Where is he ? I say, where
is he?”
Ethel looked at Miss Eudocia, and
shrank behind her like a frightened
deer.
“He is in the city,” said Miss Eudo¬
cia, bewildered and hesitating. “He
has not returned yet.”
“Then here I wait until he does re
turn,” said the woman, seating herself
upon one of the pink damask chairs.
“Yes, you may well stare at my rags;
but it is his fault. He can dress you,
yon pitiful doll-faced thing,” with a jerk
of her head toward Ethel, “in silks and
jewels, while I am shabby and neglected.
But never mind; we shall see what the
law . to . this. ... A .__ man can ,, t have
says
two wives. I’ll wait—yes, I’ll wait.”
She laughed derisively as she spoke.
Ethel caught at Miss Eudocia’s hand,
“Oh, come away J” she faltered, with
trembling voice and changing color. “I
—I am afraid of that woman. ”
And together they took refuge in the
library beyond, locking the door to bar
themselves effectually from all intru¬
sion.

to regret your rash precipitancy ? Ob,
Ethel, I never liked that man’s face ! I
always knew that there was a dark mys

can I do?” gasped Ethel; and Miss
Eudocia could feel that her hands were

cautiously raised and a rubicund face
looked in.
“Ladies,” said the owner of the rubi-
3un <i f a ce, i n a whisper, “don’t be
alarmed. There ain’t no occasion. But
i s s he here?”
“Who ?” exclaimed Miss Endocia, who
was the first to recover her self-posses
Bi0B.
“Mrs. Nokes ! Escaped from the
Private Lunatic Asylum, three miles
down the r i ver , this evening. Tall lady,
iu black. Talks about her husband, as
she thinks is married to another wo
man !”
“Tea,” cried Ethel, springing to her
feet. “Oh, yes—she is here. She is in
the other room. ”
And she fell, hysterically laughing
and sobbing, into Miss Eudocia’s arms,
“Mum’s the word, then,” said the man
with the rubicund countenance, disap¬
pearing from the window as miraculously
as he appeared.
And presently they saw him escorting
the tall lady in black down the carriage
drive, talking to her, as they went, in the
most persuasive manner possible.
“Oh, yes’m,” said he. “He’s at
Doctor Fitching’s, waitin’ for you. He’s
been there this long time, and we
couldn’t think where you was gone. He’s
thrown all the other wives overboard and
come back to you. Oh, it’s all right.”
Ethel North looked at Miss Eudocia.
Miss Eudocia looked at Ethel North.
“What geese we have been!” cried
Ethel, radiantly.
“But circumstances did look rather
suspicious,” said Mis3 Eames, blankly.
“I believe you’re sorry yet that you
can’t say, ‘I told you so,”’ laughed
Ethel, as gleeful as a child,
“No, I’m not, my dear,” said Miss
Eudocia, bursting into tears.

A Simple Invention.
j j,ave three wells on my plaoe, writes
a ^gw-snaper correspondent. I discov
ered from an examination of the family
tea-kettle that its inside was deeply en
crusted with a thick limestone substance
—too much lime and not enough iron in
the water for good health. I concluded
to remedy this in a simple and economi
cal way:
Purchased a clean whisky barrel.........$100
A. bushel of Roekaway sand ’" 10
A bushel of white stone roofing pebbles... 25
A bushel of charcoal... 25
A wooden barrel faucet 10
A false wood bottom and cover to barrel. 25
Total cost $195
The false wood bottom I perforated by
ten half-inch holes and placed them
about nine inches above the lower one-.
I them covered the upper bottom with
an inch layer of the white pebbles, then
a layer of the Bockaway sand, and then
one of the charcoal. I repeated the
operation, making six layers in all. I
made a suitable wood cover to the bar
rel, and, when finished, placed it in a
storeroom adjoining my kitchen. I have
had it filled with water every morning
since, and have used this thoroughly fil¬
tered and pure water for tea, coffee and
drinking purposes for the family for
about ten years past. Before that I had
fever and ague in the family.
All wells should be cleaned each
spring. Debris, dead toads, frogs,
lizards and worms will be found. Water
becomes impregnated with deleterious
substances, ’ and . is . impure and n _ A un
healthy.
SiDee I have used my cheap and sim¬
ple filter I have had no fever and ague
nor malarious diseases in my family, and
j ^ ave gavec i f r0 m its use at least $500 in
j oc t or ’ s bills.
At a benefit entertaixiiext in New
Haven, one of the incidents of the
money getting was a mock auction sale of
old maids. There were thirteen of these
