[Original.)
When Irving Peck came to Ulldreth
and joined our social circle my foster
?k jiIkv bad just dle<l aud left me the
oaro of ljer daughter Cynthia, eight
/ears oid.
"Margaret," said our mother the day
bo Core She died, "you know what I
have done /or you?"
"Indeed I da." I replied.
"Now la j our opportunity to make a
return. Cynthia has no kith or kin to
rely on. Without your care I know
not what will become of her. Promise
mo thr.t you will be a mother to her."
"1 will."
"To do that you must not havt?cbil
Jrcu of your own. I know a woman's
nature. We will never permit any
child's Interest to stand In tho way of
our own. Promise me that you will
not marry until Cynthia comes of age."
I was silent.
"At least until she has married."
Again 1 made no reply.
"Will you not promise mo this?"
"I promise you that I will not marry
till Cynthia has a love of her own ? un
til she Is engaged.
My foster mother sighed and turned
away. She kuew she had no right to
ask such a sacrifice. What I had prom
ised was equivalent almost to not mar
rying at all. Eight or nine years at
least must pass before Cynthia would
love, and she might never love at.all.
Had I not met Irving Peck I would
have promised my aunt all she asked
without hesltatlou. I had only known
him a little while, but It was long
enough to tell me that I had met my
fate. The truest love, to my thinking,
is that which comes upon both the
man aud the woman from the moment
they meet. Irving Peck and I each
recognized In the other a mate, and a
month after my foster mother's death
he asked me to be his wife. When I
told him of my promise he did not ask
me to break it; Indeed, he told me that
if I did he wonld not respect me. He
said that he would marry no other wo
man, aud If Cynthia stood always In
our way he would never marry. We
did not think it best that we should
remain near each other, and Irving
went Qiraj,
I neither saw nor heard from him
till Cyuthla was seventeen; then ha
wrote iue that since she was of a pjar
rlageable age we might meet again. I
replied that Cynthia promised to bo a
coquette, and there would be little
hope of her choosing a husband. I
continued after this to hear from him
occasionally, but could give him no
hope. At nineteen Cynthia had flirted
with every young man In the village,
and. like Alexander, there were no
more conquests for her to make. At I
this time a friend In Caldwell Invited
her to a visit, and Cynthia gladly ac
cepted the invitation. I wrote Irving
while she wn? away that he might
come to see me. The truth Is, Cynthia
was so full of witche-y and withal was
so much younger than I that I feared
to have him come while she was at
home. I was disappointed to learn
from him that a special project wouH
prevent his coming till about the time
Cynthia would return.
When Cynthia was fifteen she had
discovered the secret of my promUf.
We slept together, and I talked In my
sleep. I had never told her, fearing
that she might feel constrained to mar
ry on my account But 1 did not know
her. Realizing that I looked to each
of her love affairs to release me, 3he
seemed to take a malicious pleasure In
tantalizing me. I wrote Irving of this,
nnd I should not have done so, for it
made Kim furious.
One morning I received a letter frsai
Cynthia, and, to my great delight, It
told me that she had met a man whoa
she fancied she could love. She had
not thought to give me his name, bet
this was of little consequence to me,
for I would not know him. Her next
letter, -written two weeks later, an
nounced her engagement, which meant
that at last I was free. Before finish
ing reading her letter I threw it down
and took up my pen to write Irvine
announcing the good news; but, turn
ing to the letter again for the name of
Cynthia's fiance, the room swam, and
I fell In a swoon. The name was Irv
ing Peek.
What strange coincidence had brought
uiese two together? Did Cynthia
know that her lover had been my lov
#r? Did Irving know that Cynthia was
the girl who had stood between us?
Cynthia could not know the truth un
less he told her. Irving might and
might not know her. He had not seen
her before since she was a little girl,
but he must surely know her by name.
Another week passed, and nothing
from Irving. Then one morning a car
riage drove up to the door, and a man
alighted. I knew at once that it was
Irving. He came to the door with a
quick step, pulled the bell and without
waiting for It to be answered strode
Into the house. On seeing me he step
ped forward to take me In his arms. I
drew back.
"We are free," he said. "Cynthia Is
engaged."
"What Is our freedom worth since
you are engaged as well?"
"Your promise was to remain single
till Cynthia should become engaged.
With her engagement you are free.
She is engaged or was engaged to me.
I have broken the engagement."
"What for?"
'To marry you."
I saw it all. He had duped Cynthia
to absolve me from the letter of my
promise.
Did she deserve this? Was Irving
Justified in it? I do not know. In a
year after that she married, and then
I accepted my freedom,

LITTLE OIL
ONE SOLID SORE
Covered With Scales and Scabs
From Head to Foot? Doctors and
All Other Remedies Fail ? Skin
Now Smooth and Clear.
ANOTHER WONDERFUL
CURE BY CUTICURA
Writing under date of Sept. 7, 1904,
Mrs. Hattie Shaffer, of Cumberland,
Miss., says: "Some time ago I or
dered and received your wonderful
Cuticura Remedies, which I used on
my little afflicted babe with wonder
ful results. I had tried many other
remedies without any benefit what
ever, and Cuticura came to the rescue
when my doctors and all other rem
edies had failed. One doctor pro
nounced it scrofula, the other eczema.
The little one was one solid sore, with
scales and scabs from head to foot,
when I started using Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. The result was won
derful, and now my baby's face and
body are [smooth and clear."
(Signed) Mrs. Mattie Shaffer.
THE DUTY OF MOTHERS
At the First Sign of Disfiguring
Humors Is to Use Cuticura.
Every child born into the world
with an inherited tendency to tortur
ing, disfiguring humors of the Skin
and Scalp, becomes an object of the
most tender solicitude, not only be
cause of its suffering, but because of
the dreadful fear that the disfiguration
is to be lifelong and mar its future
happiness and prosperity. Hence it
becomes the duty of mothers of such
afflicted children to acquaint them
selves with the best, the purest, and
most effective treatment available,
viz.: the Cuticura Treatment, consist
ing of warm baths with Cuticura Soap,
and gentle anointings with Cuticura
Ointment, the great Skin Cure. Cures
made in childhood are speedy, per
manent, and economical.
Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pilla, are aold throughout
the world. Potter Druf & Chcm. Corp.. R<??ton, Sola
