Mrs. Janet Mowbrav and her four sons
lived in 1828. at Harwick Hall. in the coun-
ty of Durham, England. Mm Mowbray
wasa tall, powerful woman of great energy
and bravery. in her fifty-fourth year. Her
sons were aged respectively thirty-four.
twenty-seven. twenty~four. and twentyone.
Her husband had been dead many years.
Her two oldest sons were married and their
wives and families lived with her. The
snd bud given his mother much trouble.
He was deeply in debt, and had been re-
peatedly threatened with arrest. Mrs. an- I
bray was Wealthy. and ltcpt in her bedroom.
besides a quantity of valuable plnté, a large
sum of money.
On Christmas eve. Mm Mowbrny‘s son
and dunghier-ln-lsw paid a visit to the rcsi~
dencc of a relative. Mr. Choker, of Chaicrs-
burg. The domestics. relieved of duty,
were in their own portion of the dwelling,
enjoying the festivities of the season. The
watchman, who wns ordinarily on duty in
the kitchen garden. took a hasty survey of
his best. and joined the revelers in the
kitchen.
On Christmas night they were to have a
small gathering of friends and neighbors,
and 31m. Mowbrny began to consider the ar-
rangements nccutsary. She would require
the old punch bowl. and the ladies and gob-
lets which she kept locked up in the closet
of her bedroom. She would go and get
them at once. She went accordingly, and
entered the closet and took out the silver
and laid it on the shelf. ready for removal
next morning. At the same time she took
out a large, old~fashlomxl carving knife and
fork of quaint pattern, and deposited them
also on the shelf. She then returned to the
parlor. After sitting and musing for some
time, she took up the Bible and fumbled for
her spectaclcs. She could not find them;
and at length remembered that she had left
them on the shelf in the closet. She at once
returned for them. Entering her bedroom,
she placed the candle on the dressing table,
and lighted s amll lump with which she
entered the closet.
As she took the first step inside the closet,
she bend the sound as of some one breath-
ing heavily. She looked up and ssw right
before her the face of s mun. She was a
brave, resolute woman. She advanced a
step and and observed thatn man‘s head.

dow st the end, as though in the act of
wriggling himself through the opening. In
the mn’s right hand wss s pistol, and his
left hand had hold of a shelf which ran
along the side of the closet. The man
raised the pistol and fired. Mrs. Mowbray
in an instsnt seized the huge curving knife
which lsy on the shelf, and advanced to-
ward the ruflhn. He was struggling to
withdraw himself from the window. His
hsnds were on the sill and his head some-
what raised, leaving his throat somewhat
exposed.

eldest son got ngr enough to the body with-
out stepping into the gore. to raise the head.
which was dropping on the chest. He grasp-
ed the hsir nd- lifted the head so that the
light might full upon his face. And as he
did so, a cry ("honor escaped from all.
“Great God! it is our brother George i"
“What do yousay?” asked Mrs. Mowbray,
in a voice horribly calm. from the doorway,
whither she had followed unperceived.
George! what do you mean ?"
The oldeatsou dropped the bcudto pre-
vent. if pomible, his mother recognizing it,
and all of them endeavored to explain their
exclamation and get their mother away
from the spot. It was in vain.
“ Boys." she said. in her old, well-known
tone of authority, “stand aside and let me
see the face of the murderer I have slain."
With that she put her sons aside as though
they had been there lads, and walked through
the slippery gore that lay upon the floor up
to the body. She took the candle from the
unrcsisting gtmp of her first-born, and with
a band that trembled not. lifted the head of
the dead man so that the light shone full
upon it. Sltegazcd at it steadily for half a
minute. then said, gently lowering it. until
it rcsted upon the breast again: “ It's my
boy George.“
Mrs. Mowbrny was the only one in that
household who remained calm and emotion-
less. The family were in the wildest state
of sorrow. The three brothers with difll-
culty cxtricnted the body from the window.
The nutboritics were notified. and every-
thing was kept as quiet as possible. The
inquest was duly held. Mrs. Mowbmy was
fully exonerated. and the body was tender-
ly prepared for burial. The real story was
known to but few outside the family and
authorities. It was believed by them that
George, instead of going to Devonsbire, had
remained lurking in the neighborhood. and
had planned the robbery. and if need be the
murder of his mother. lie knew that. she
would be alone on that night, and that she
had a large sum of money and valuable
jewels in her room. The old nurse who had
held George 'in her arms when he first saw
the light, took care of the body and pre-
pnred it for the tomb. She dwelt tenderly
on the familiar marks upon the limbs and
face which she knew so well, each of which
had a story of youthful during or folly con»
nected with it. In due time the funeral
took place. The corpse was laid In the
family vault. Only the family and one or
two relatives attended. Mrs. Mowbray spent
the best part of each day by the side of her
dead son. She showed externally no signs
of emotion. Before the lid was closed, she
kissed the furs-bend and cut off a lock of
his hair.
The day nftct the burial. slic gave direc-
tions to her eldest son to pay all the dead
man‘s debts. which was done at once as far
Gloom settled over the ball.
The wing of the building in which the
tragedy occurred was closed up. and Mrs.
Mowhmy removed lo a bedroom up stain
()n the fifth day after the funeral. a post
chaise drove up to the door of Harwick
Hull, and from it stopped George Mowbray.
looking better than be had looked for many
a long day before he left home. The ser-
vant. who opened the hull door started back.
and almost dropped with fright. Bis ex-
clamations caught the cars of Mrs Mowbray
and her sons, who hastened to be dumb
founded. George was as much astonished
us any of them, and gazed from one to the
other in bewildercd surprise There was
no doubt about it. George Mowbruy, whom
everybody believed dead and in his grave.
was living and before them.
“ Mother." said George, advancing towards
her, “What is the matter? my return is easi‘
ly accounted for. On reaching Tawvale, I
found that my uncle‘s family had been un-
expectedly summoned to London, as my
eldest cousin. Sir John Gray‘s wife. was
thought to be dying. I took a night‘s re-
rcpow and then started home again. and
here I am."
Mrs Mowbmy walked up to him, gazed
into his face. and then, without a word,
folded him in a passionate embrace. Each
of his brothers grasped his hands and kissed
him, as they were wont to do when he was
a boy and the pet of the family. The old
nurse. amused from her noondsy slumber,
embraced and wept over him, and the ser-
vants gathered around with wet eyes and
congratulatory expressions.
All this time George knew nothing of the
true reason for this singular reception. Soon,
however, the mystery was explained to him.
The effect upon him cannot be described.
Measures were immediame taken to have
the body of the man who had been buried
as George Mowbray disinterred. This was
soon done, and so the living George stood
beside the dead man, the resemblance was
seen to be the most extraordinary. The
marks on the face sud bands corresponded
with those on George's. the scars on the legs
were similar also,snd the hair, eyebrows
sud finger nails were marvelously alike.
Who the dead man was, was never ascer-
tsincd. After George's return, however,
inquiries were made. such as it was never
deemed needful to nuke so long as the dead
man was supposed to be Mrs. Mowbray’s
youngest son. ‘
These inquiries led to the discovery that

pmed to be from Iandon, tookup their

now THEY EL IN LOVE.
They had grown up together. in the full
sense of the term, and that was the matter.
They had eaten each other’s mud pies. taken
the croup in each other’s snow forts, cried
out the sums on each other’s slates, tipped
over each other’s ink bottles, sopped up the
ink with their mutual bandkercbiefs, "told"
on each other in about equal proportions.
and “made up" in a common exuberance of
sobs and sassafrns. They had played at
lovers behind the woodpile. been married
bv the prize speaker, been divorwd by the
“ first base," been reunited by the minister’s
daughter, and gone to housekeeping in the
peat swamp at regular intervals, as far back
as their memory extended. She had blue
eyes, and never understood vulgar fractions.
He used to miss, so that she might get. to the
head of the class. One day she braided her
hair in two little braids behind, and tied it
with a pink inteostring ribbon at three cents
a yard. When they walked home together,
he touched it gently to signify his approba-
tion. and she blushed like a. May flower. It
could not hsve been long after that. before
she grew shy at singing school. and was apt.
to be going home with her brother. In
another year, when he went; to St. David's
College, she cried herself to sleep, forgot to
crimp her hair, and said nothing was the
mutter. So, of course, when he came on his
first vacation, it all happened as it could not
help happening to the end of young things’
dreaming, or old ones‘ warning. She sat. in
the choir in a blue dress with white spots,
with a pink bonnet, pink cheeks. and sang
in a very sweet country voice, that quivered
and curled about the pillars of the sunny
white meetingdiouse like innocence in an
open field on I: May day, you m‘gbt have
thought. and you might not. He. grown
rather tall, rather quiet, with long hair. and
an unmistakable St. David‘s shawl, sat be-
low in his father's pew-box—nnd listened.
One Sunday it happened that the Rev. Mr.
Love, the recently settled and very popular
shepherd of the “meeting-house." felt moved
in the spirit to preach to his flock a sermon
upon Christian amity, and to suggest as its
most fitting musical accompaniment, hymn
857 of the “ Sweet Singer of Israel." (just
introduced); Ah, you excellent mothers,
with washing-days on your minds, and ye
excellent fathers, struggling to keep your
faith under the discovery of Tom‘s first ci-
gar. do you never suspect, in your stupid,
good hearts, the solid comfort rolling into
your specisclw as you sing, and your souls
agiow with all the hidden meaning of fel~
lowsbip in one Muster whom they who love
not never know, do you never suspect the
flirtatious conducted over that admirable
hymn? It may be very much too bad, but it
is very much the case. It is quite as bad in
me to suggest the sacrifice to your young
people. Bless your indignant souls, they
stand in need of no suggestion. Ask them.
I do not deny that. it is atrocious in me to
spoil the hymn for you; but that is another
matter. She then, in her blue and white
dress, with a sunbeam struggling through a.
ground glass gallery window upon her pink
bonnet . sung:
“ Blast be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love ;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above."
It struck him that her voice was less like
incense now, and more like melted silver;
which was a very good fancy, by the way,
and he would make a note of it against some
indefinite cxlgcncy as class orator.
“ Our furs. our hopes. our aims are one.
Our comforis and our cares."
faltered the little silver voice; and so tink-
led into this: ‘
“ When we asunder part,
It gives us inwsrd pain.
But we shsll still be joined in heart."
and be. turning round with the audience,
back to the Rev. Mr. Love, as was the fash—
ion in the Bloomsbury First Church, lifted
his face to hers, and their young eyes met-
met and dropped. and the work was done.
