A FAITHFUL LOVE. .When pretty Hester _Warren married Ezra Banks, who was twenty years old- er than she, and a. shy, silent man out of touch with village life, everybody said that she made a. mistake that she would soon regret. Yet, though Vil- lage eyes kept keenest watch upon them, village prophecy was for once at fault. Hester’s girlish beauty changed into comfortable middle-aged comeli- ness, and Ezra grew stiff and rheu- matic, yet their devotion to each other was unchanged; indeed, after Nannie, their only child, married and left home, it seemed as if the pages of liftl had blown back for them and they were once more lovers, and the world was for them alone. That was before Ezra had typhoid fever. Through his long illness his wife nursed him tenderly, but he came from it a broken-down old man, with his ears forever sealed to all the com- mon sounds to which his life had been set. He was slow in realizing this, but one day as he lay watching his wife and - doctor, the knowledge broke harshly upon him. He could see his wife’s lips move as she smoothed the bed- with her soft, wrinkled hand, but he ~could hear no word. Then he turned his dull eyes. with a pitiful look of pain darkening them, toward the doctor. He, too, was speaking, but the deaf ears could catch no sound. His weak, peevish voice jarred suddenly upon their talk. “Why don’t ye'speak so’s I can hear ye, stid o’ mumbling so?” His wife started and then cast a quick, imploring look at the doctor. She leaned down over the bed; her face was in the shadow and her husband could not see her eyes. “Do you hear me now, dear?" The words reached him faintly, and from a distance. He struggled with the sounds a minute or two before they resolved themselves into words. “Of course I hear ye,” he said fre’tful- -ly, “only why don’t ye speak up? 1 ain' t so sick, be I?” The words werea little clearer now, though still far off. “You have been very sick, but are getting better fast. It has to be quiet for you, you know, dear, but you will soon be up, now.” The old man shut his eyes wearily; the effort had been ‘a heavy one for him. His wife turned to the doctor, 'her eyes shining through her tears. “I can make him hear,” she cried, “l knew I could. I didn’t believe Ezra could get where he couldn’t hear me. And he needn't ever know now.” The doctor looked at her and said nothing. He was a young man, and it seemed very pitiful to him. But he had not understood the old man’s strong constitution. In a few weeks he was about again, as well as ever, apparently, save for the sealed ears. His‘ wife chattered to him in her old fashion, and kept out of sight the medicines she took for her strained voice; she cautioned the neighbors who came to see him, and thought that he did not know. But she was mistaken; there were other sounds—many oi them—that had been 'woven into a. life of nearly seventy years, and in place of these there was a. great vacant still- ness; and he knew all. One afternoon she’found him sitting in the big wooden chair in the kitch- en, studying his old twisted hands. He gave her a tremulous smile as she came in. “I’m most broken up, Hester, ” he said. “Don’t!” she cried, “don’t Ezral—l can’t bear it! We’re both getting old- er, but that’s all ’tls." He shook his head sadly. “No, ’taln’t, Hester—I’ve been a-see- ing it for a. long time. You’re young yet—you can see and hear just as you uster, but—I’m an old man, Hester. You’ve been a good girl, and we’ve had a happy life together, but I didn’t cal- culate for you to be tied up to an old man. lately, and sometimes I think folks was right and it hadn’t orte'r been.” The woman listened and a great pain seemed to beat up in her throat and choke her voice. She leaned over and put her trembling hands on his. “Ezra,” she cried, and the appeal in her voice carried it with clear distinct- ness to him, “Ezra, have I ever said or done a thing to make you feel so ‘2” He looked up, startled.‘ “God knows you haven’t, Hester," he said, earnestly. “And, Ezra, if anything should hap- pen to me—if I should be sick or help- less, would you love me less? Would you?” .51.“ A change came over the old man; ‘ it seemed for an instant that the face of his youth looked back at her. -“If it wasn’t for your suffering, Hes- ter, I wish you could see," he said al- most passionately. ' It was a few weeks after' this that Hester caught a. severe cold. She was in bed for several days, and Nannie had her husband and child to care for, and her mother would not let her stay long. “They ll be needing you—I can get along now, ” she said. “I guess they can get along without me a little while longer,” answered Nannie. “What say?” Nannie looked alarmed; she raised her voice and spoke with careful em- phasis, —- “I- guess—they can get along—with- 'out me a little while” she repeated. Her mother nodded. “I said it had been quite a while," she. said. “I’m glad you’re going, .Nannie, though We shall miss you so." Nannie's face filled with a. pitiful tenderness. Her mothei" looked up} 5 'dj denly and noticed, and a strange I’ve got to thinking about it ’ pressio’h came into her eyes. 'She spoke with curious eagerness. “Nannie,” she said, “tell me true— don’t I hear as I used to?” Nannie’s face flue-.hed With a sud- den- imphlsive gesture she threw hex arms about her mother, sobbing bitter. ly. But in her mother’s eyes the strange expression grew into a glad light. “Don’t feel so, Nannie,” she said. “1 —I guess I’m almost glad. I’m going to tell your father.” Nannie went home the next day‘sore- 1y against her will. She told her hus- band that it almost broke her heart to think of them so; if it wasn’t for, lit- tle Nannie she would go back there and stay, ‘but she couldn’t take the child—it might hurt her throat seri- ously to have to shout to them. .; She was troubled, too, for the child had a delicate throat and she dared not take her often to see the old folks—and they would miss her so! ‘But it was not so hard; her mother spoke of it herself and said that she and father had talked _ it over, and they knew it would be best not to have the child there often. And Nannie mustn’t worry—they could 'get along all right as long as they could hear each other. Indeed, it seemed as if the bond of suffering drew them closer to- gether. It was beautiful to see the old man’s care for his wife and his ten- derness in speaking to her. The neigh- bors who had pitied at first talked oft— en of it; they said they never saw two deaf people take such comfort in each other. Often on summer days the two high-pitched voices would be heard, and the peeple passing would smile at each, other and sometimes linger a little. “ ’Tis kind 0’ social to hear them," they said. So the winter, passed and the sum- mer, and then quite suddenly, one night when the earth was lying- hushed and silent under a soft fall of snow, the old man passed from the silence of his life into the greater silence that is beyond the reach of human voice. The neighbors for‘miles around came to the funeral, and the house Was full of grave, decorous whispers, broken strangely when any one spoke to the wife. She was pale and silent; only once did she speak of anything that she wanted done, and then she called Nannie hesitatingly. “Tell him I don’t want him to speak so’ s I can hear. It—it wouldn't seem proper, somehow. It won’t make any difference to Ezra now, and I”—-she faltered a moment, and tender light came into the fad-ed blue eyes—“I guess he can’t say anything about my bus- band that I don't know a hundred times better than him.” “I’ll tell him, mother,” said Nannie. gently. That was 'a strange funeral—the neighbors spoke of it afterwards. The still figure that sat dead to the words of tender healing spoken by the millis- ter seemed to- lend an element of mys- try to the scene, and the contrast be— tween the darkened room and the bril-‘ li-ant, sparkling world outside, flashed upon their eyes like a miracle. They spoke of it on the way home, and said that Ezra had been a good husband to her, and no one would fill his place. “Nannie means all right, ” Mrs. Tar- box said, smoothing her black dress, “but she hasn’ t time to set down and“ make a work of entertaining her moth- er. " “ ’Tis so,” answered Mrs. Slocum. “and Hester’ ll miss entertaining Ezra, too. ’Tain’t as though she wasn’t af-‘~ flicted, either way. She’s young and spry enough yet, but it seems most as if it’s no use.” And Mrs. Banks, all unconscious of the talk, was being driven over to Nan- nie’s. She was so quiet that her daughter did not disturb her. “I don’t feel as if I knew what to say to her, though she is my moth- er,” she whispered to her husband. They helped her tenderly into the house and Nannie put her into the easi- est chair. From the next room a baby voice broke in upon them. “Mamma, can I see dran’ma? nie wants to see dran’ ma!" Nannie was hurrying to the door when a voice stopped her. “Let me have Nannie, please—it’s so long since I have!” Nannie stopped at the door, a great wonder in her eyes. “Why mother!" she exclaimed. Her mother looked up at her with a. tremulous simile. "Yes, I know. I meant to tell you before, but I couldn't, someways. I’ve heard all the time; I was only deaf a day or two from cold. I thought I really was at first, and then IL'kept it up, because it comforted—him—some- how. He’d felt he was old and broken down, you know, but when I did, too, he felt better and cheered right‘up. There was only one thing—I did want the" 'baby so! And it seemed as if ’twould break my heart when she did come not to answer her, and to have her strain her little voice to make me hear!" “And you months?” said Nannie," tone. Hei mother looked up; she was bold- ing little Nannie with her eager, grembling hands, and it almost seemed as if the golden baby head reflected .a wonderful light upon her tired face. “I guess when you’ve loved La man more than thirty years, that isn’t much to do," she sLaid.’—'Pacitlc Rural Press.

In the days when spectacles were introduced the world was not all wise. Glasses became so fashionable that the people did not Wait until necessity compelled them to adopt the new cus- tom. Whether their eyesight was bad or good, those who would be stylish wore spectacles. In Spain they formed part of the costume of every well- dressed person. The object of the wearer in putting on glasses was to increase the gravity of his appearance and render himself- morc directly imposing. A young monk 'who had, through the assistance of his family. caused his order to suc- ceed in an important lawsuit, felt him- self liberally rewarded when the prior, having embraced him warmly, testified his gratitude by saying, “Brother, put on Spectacles.” The glasses of spectacles were pro- portioned in size, not to the eyes, but -to the rank of the wearer, those worn by the Spanish nobles being as large as one’s band.
