SYMPHONY OR- CHESTRA AND QUARTETTE GAVE THE FINEST CONCERT OF_ THE_KIND EVER GIVEN HERE, LAST FRIDAY NIGHT. The concert given by the J. L. Hud- son Co. Symphony Orchestra and Quartette at the Penniman Allen theatre, last Friday evening, under the auspices of Plymouth Rock Lodge No. 47, F. & A. M., was one of the most enjoyable affairs of the season. The house was crowded, every avail- able seat being occupied, 615 tickets being sold, the'capacity of the theatre. There were some forty-two members •of the orchestra and singers and each number, rendered received repeated encores, to which the players and singers generously responded. Beginning-wth the overture by the orchestra, which was perhaps its best number on the program, the enthus- iasm of the audience continued to the y* teat-—and- they-were even- then loth to depart. The male quartet and woman’s quartet each gave se- lections that jA-ere very pleasing. The Hudson French Horn Quartette ren- dered several selections most agree- ably. Master Angus Pfaff, boy so- prano sang himself into the hearts of his audience, receiving several en- cores. Henry -Feiler, violin soloist, was master of his art, and exhibited wonderful skill with the bow and strings. Perhaps the most note- worthy number was the exhibition of skill by Arthur Cooper on the xylo- phone, accompanied by the orchestra. Mr. Cooper was several times recalled by the enthusiastic audience, who seemed to regard the deft-perform- ance on this instrument as most won- derful. The people of Plymouth will regard this concert as one of the most suc- cessful entertainments ever given by a concert company, are lavish in its praise, and hope the “Hudsons” may be induced to come again at no dis- tant day. The J. L. Hudson Co. did not ask any pecuniary remuneration for the appearance of the orchestra here, ex- cepting entertainment at supper at the Plymouth Hotel and charges for theatre rental. Consequently the Plymouth Masonic lodge netted quite a sum to their building fund, for all of which they are grateful to the Hudson Co. and the Plymouth popu- lace. FORMERR EH DIESJ THEWEST I)R.

» home on East Ann Arbor street.THE DRUMMER KNOWS

No set of men who visit Plymouth in a business way know more about conditions in this country than the traveling salesmen, whom we once referred to as the "drummers.” When there are a lot of them on the road business is flourishing, when they are scarce, it’s bad. They are a good barometer of business condi­tions all over the-country, e

In conversation with / n e a few days ago he emphatically declared that increased buying J s , in order particularly in the south and west. Merchants who believed tha t com­modity prices would make further drops have, he says, apparently real­ized that they are mistaken, and they have started again to stock up. Where traveling men have heretofore been unnecessary, and where buying has been so small that the merchants ordered what they wanted by mail, the knights of the grip are finding a revival that is encouraging.

Failure and refusal of merchants to buy products was largely responsi­ble for stagnation of manufacture. That, too, is changing now, and fac­tories throughout the country hqve commenced to take back their men. The big industrial towns report a brighter employment outlook; and the labor situation is fast being adjusted. There will be seme fbw additional ad­justments, of course, in the price of a few commodities, but they will be gradual, and the traveling man says there isn’t going to be a big increase or a big decline in anything in the food or apparel line for a long time to come.

GARDEN NOTES(43y M. A. C. Horticultural Dept..)

Plant teed for the late, cabbage ci op a t once. See that the seed bed is fine and moist. Danish Ballhead is the most popular variety for win­ter storage. Drumhead Savoy is a high, quality variety and is excellent for the home garden.

The first early plantings of garden peas are growing well now. Time to make another planting of the mid* season and late sweet wrinkle seed­ed sorts. Allow 18 to 24 inches be­tween the rows for the dwarf va­rieties. The tall late varieties need

a t least three or four feet between refra.- These should be provided with brush/w ire netting or something sim­ilar for support.

S ta r t the cultivator going early. I t conserves moisture and means big­ger and better crops.

Have you ever grown Swiss- Chard for gTeens? I t’s better than beets. The leaves may be picked all summer. Fine for canning. A row 15 or 20 feet long will provide a season's supply for an ordinaty family. Lu- cullus is the best variety.

For slugs on roses there is noth­ing better than a thorough spraying or dusting with arsenate of lead.

- S S 1 " " S & S F S g E S S THE the lesion body of Franceconsequently many crops require some' thinning. When the plants of lettuce, radishes, beets, carrots, etc., are about two inches high, they should be thinned until only-the best remain, about two or three inches a p a rt Thinning allows the plants to develop larger roots, gives the sun­light a chance, and better plants re­sult.

The I.eglon commander attracted national attention when his Investiga­tion of the alleged “Rhine Horror” showed that there was no ground for the assertion of pro-Germans that French negro troops are participating In outrages upon German women In the Rhenish provinces.

.Three Americanism bills written by the American Legion and Introduced in the Qklahoma state legislature at the request of that , organization, have been passed by the state lawmaking body, signed by Governor Robertson and .will become laws on June 25.

House bill No. .383 provides that the American flag shall be displayed at all times In every school room in the state—public, private and denoml-. uatiohal-—and that pupils slut 11 be j i a light proper respect and reverence for by the state school superintend­ent.

The monthly sapper of the Sunday- school board was enjoyed by a goodly number of the officers and teachers, last Tuesday evening. A bountiful supper was provided by the commit­tee, Mesdames, Cook, Lombard and Thomas. Plans for the observance of Children’s Day, June 12th, were made, with the program in the charge of the teachers in the primary depart­ment.

The material for the darkening ap­paratus for the church auditorium, has been ordered, and the curtains will be made up next week. About sixty-five yards of material is re­quire!. When these curtains are in­stalled, they will not only be a great convenience, makiifg possible day­time projection of pictures, but will also be an artistic addition to the room. The first real use of the dark­ening apparatus will probably be on Decoration Day, when the Civil war picture, “The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come,” will be shown both afternoon and evening.

The story of Simeon Bias, a wealthy preacher in the* Phillipinea, was told by Lyman Judson for the partnership program, last Sunday, in Sunday- school, the story being illustrated by view’s thrown on the screen with the stereopticon.

An effort is being made to make a substantial payment for the. reduc­tion of the church indebtedness by May 25th. There is now on hand $517 to apply, and it is hoped to bring the amount up to $1,000 by that

j ner and night's lodging at the next i village by a drum-message. The vil­lager* use it as we use a postal, tele­graph and telephone service—and

I there are no charges, i “For the home service the drum plays the part also of the church bell,

I tho clock, the town crier and the daily newspaper. For Instance, Rev. James Roscoe, whose African,adventures and discoveries have recently been report­ed, note* that It announced a birth or a death, the new moon and the week­ly fast day.

“To help understanding of the mar­velous code, as complete as a lan­guage, the remarks of Sir Arthur B. Ellis (writing of West Africa) are In point

‘“ To a European the rhythm of a drum expresses nothing beyond a re­petition of the same note at different intervals of time, but to a native it. expresses much more. To him the drum can and does speak, the sounds produced from it forming words and the whole measure of rhythm a sense.’

“Thus, a t a dance of ‘companies,’ in one measure they abuse the men of another company . . . then the rhythm change* and the gallant deeds of their own company are extolled. All this, and much tbore. Is conveyed by the beating of drums, and the native ear, trained to detect and interpret each beat, is never at fault.*'

B U I C K t

Midget Babies Cfften Thrive.Parent* whose children are abnor­

mally small a t birth can take heart, for recent figures show that tiny in­fant* frequently grow up quite robust, and of normal proportions. Accord­ing to the observations of an English doctor, a girl baby horn 13 years ago, to a Mrs. Warwick of Barrow-in-Fur­ness, for Instance, weighed only one and three-qarter pounds. She now turns the scale at 150 pounds, and is an exceptionally healthy and intelli­gent child.

•Even more remarkable Is the case of Leonard Merrick, who stands over 6 feet high and weighs ISO pounds, all brawn and muscle and sinew. At his birth. 25 years ago, lie weighed only 15 ounces, his bead was not much big­ger than a billiard ball, the mouth was only Just about the size.’of the end of a pencil, and the mother’s wed- diug ring would slip easily up the arm as high as the sbonlder.

A baby exhibited at one of the meet­ings of the British Obstetrical society weighed only 20 ounces and the Medl-' cal Times once announced the birth of one that turned the scale *t exactly one pound. Both these grew up strong and healthy, and of normal propor­tions. In short, a small infant seems likely to do as well as a big one, al­ways provided, of course, that It sur­vives the peril* of babyhood.

i©. Western Newspaper Union.)j All through the hoi-forenoon Lieu- !] tenant Richards had fought like a i leader of heroes, braving death a !

dozen times from the spiteful Fill- i pino bullets that hissed overhead ; l yet, though man after man had fallen ' in the thinning ranks, he was un- : scathed. And the more he sought : death the harder ii seemed to die. !

With a mere handful of the seventy ; nine who had been cut off from the ) main forces by the cunningly eon- j trived ambuscade, Richards had fal­len back upon u bill, one of those smooth, isolated hills that emerge here and there iu the northern region of Luacm. There, hard pressed, the little remnant^-of^ Squadron B were bolding their own against the enemy's marksmen, waiting for the arrival of the relief eolunrii from Santifk^C&ta- llna. It was strange how *it seemed to Richards as he lay on iub face in the blistering sunlight. His mind went i ! traveling back to other scenes, other : j days—to that last day in Washington j before- he sailed away.

He had sat all the cool afternoon j with Lucy Greaves on the porch of j { the club house. Lucy was an old | j „ sweetheart of ills boyhood. 1 j

Ou that lust afternoon he had asked ! her to be his wife, to wait for him. i \

Then Lucy, whom he had never seen | j discomposed, broke down and sobbed ; in his arms. She was engaged to a j fellow soldier, whom she loved, no j longer. But the traditions of her j family forbade her to break V ith him. j

She did not tell hlm the name. But j Richards had imagined that it was some officer he knew.

The memories vanished with the sudden cessation of the hissing above them. Richards knew what that meant. The enemy was preparing to charge. They came upward, and, finding that the defenders made no reply, swooped In with a zest, flags flying, keen, razor-edged bolos flash­ing back the light of the declining soil, j

Next moment It was hand to hand.For a full minute—hours. It seemed— I the fighting was fierce. Then the j a trackers were sullenly retiring and 1 the besieged drew a little closer to­gether. .

Richards stooped and raised a ; wounded mau at his side. He knew . him—Sergeant Hutton, one of the re - , emits. b

“Sergeant, I'm going to put you be- j hind this rock,” said the lieutenant.

Hutton was fumbling at hla throat, j He opened the blood-stained tunic and disclosed a little locket of gold? ‘jOpen j it,” he whispered. Richards obeyed and found lilmself looking npon the I face of Lucy Greaves. _•

“She gave it to me," the sergeant whispered. “We were to have been married^ the day before I sailed. It was postponed at the last moment, till l came back. If I die you’ll carry my love to her?”

‘Til tell' her,” he said. “But you’ll pull through Sergeant. Now lie still behind this rock and wait till the re­lief arrives." ..

A wild yell burst forth from beneath the hill, re-echoed from 500 throats.The Filipinos were charging again.

And this time they charged, home. Suddenly, ^ar down the valley, the

dea r notes of a bugle rang through the air. Then, over the stillness of tho afternoon came the faint sound of Jangling hits.

“Now, men," Lieut. Richardson shouted, “each of you take a wound­ed man on his shoulder and retire down the trail. I’ll stay here and cov­er you until you reach the road." And, stepping behind the rock, he seized the rifle of the wounded sergeant, and, crouching over him, began pumping bullets into the ranks of the enemy, and then, catching up the wounded sergeant, crept down the hill. It was a whole minute before the natives discovered that he was gone. “Well pull through, Sergeant!" he shouted cheerily to the man on his back, and stumbled onward. A yell from the ridge answered him and a renewed volleying. Then s-s-s! a red-hot wire seemed to be pressing against the lieutenant's arm, and, looking down Richards saw that the pale yellow of his coat was turning a bright claret color. Zip! That one nipped him across the cheek.. Gradually a delirium took possession of him. The sky, the earth, th^ trees spun round him. He seemed to be in Washington again, seated at,Lucy’s side, under the oaks.Only tbethought of her sustained him for a few yards more. Then, quite sud­denly his legs crumpled beneath h ip and he reeled and fell forward. Lucy’* face was shining out of the blackness of night.

“Tell her I—I wish you all happi­ness. Sergeant," he muttered.

Out of the profundity he rose through a region peopled by spectres to consciousness of his surroundings.He was lying in a bed and a man in a white linen suit was bending over him.

“Well!” he said, “you're doing fa- J monsly now. We’ll have you round;In short order. Captain-”

“Captain? I—”“Ah, you haven’t seen the Gazette.

That w u a special order of the Presi­dent. And they’re talking about the congressional medal for you."

“But—Sergeant Hutton?"“Ah. poor fellow! I guess you’ll

have to know. Captain. You had been carrying a corpse from the first. He was hit by a bullet Juft before you picked Mm up, and must have died Instantly."

SEA’S OLD TALESSuperstitions That Are Held by

Corniahmen.

t© . 1 9 U . W aetam N ew sp a p e r U n ion .)

Cephas Merritt was dead—Merritt, the rich, eccentric, philanthropic old - .erchant of Grand boulevard, whose .nine had been a synonym for Integ’ rity in Martinsville for forty years. And the big store and the bank and the innumerable .pieces of real estate that be had owned here and there in the state capital had fallen to. his miserly- nephew, Hamilton Hall.

Hamilton spent five days with his lawyer, and a t Hie end of that period discovered that one-fourth of Cephas’ tenants bad been living rent free for years.

But not all of Cephas’ tenants had been poor. One ef them, Miss Sldo- nla Travers, occupied the old Travers mansion on Borland Heights, which had come to her. oo the death of her father twenty years previously. When Hall read this name he whistled; and when the lawyer told him th^t she, too, lived rent free, he whistled again.

“You see. It’s, this way, Mr. .HalV said the lawyer, "Miss Sldonla be­lieves that the property la hers. She’s got only a tiny lxfcome of six dollars a week outside It, and if she lost it she’d be practically a beggar—she and her niece, Mary Travers.”

Mary Travers was prettier than ever, in Hall’s eyes. When he saw her enter the old-fashioned drawing room a flame of jealousy of Blaine burned .in his heart-* His greeting of Mary was In Itself a triumph.

"Sit down. Miss Travers,” he said.•T have something to say to you: You know, of course, that fhy uncle Is dead?"

“Yes,” answered Mary. "He was a good man and an old friend of my aunt’s. 1 am sorry, Mr. Hall.”

“Well, that’s more than 1 am, by long odds,” Hall answered. “Don’t you know that I’ve fallen heir to everything he had? Yps, and 1 And that I’m worth a cool eight hundred and fifty thou son (Tat the lowest esti­mate. Now, Mary, i want you to be sensible. Be my wife. Don't be In­fatuated by that man Blaine. He’s a good, honest toiler, no doubt, but he’ll never be anything."

“Mr. Hall," said Mary, rising, "I cannot hear any more.”

“What, you won’t marry me now?" “Never 1” she cried angrily, con­

fronting him with biasing eyes. "1 hate aud despise you.”

“Then why don’t yon marry Blaine?' sneered Hamilton Hall. And, os She did not reply, be continued:

“I’ll tell you why. You’re waiting un­til your auDt dies so as to get her property. But it Isn’t hers—It’s mine."

“This house is not my aunt’s?” she cried.

"No, Miss Mary; it’s mine,” Hall an­swered. “But if yqp'U throw Blaine over and marry me I'll settle It on Miss Travers for life. Give me a kiss and then I'll make you love me. I—"

Vincent Blaine was at the door. Hall turned, to see Blaine advancing upon him with clenched fists. ~~

“What's the matter with you?” Hall shouted.

Blaine did-not atrike him, for Hail, was a mud) smaller man. Instead, lie quietly wrenched his chair from his grasp aud, taking his shoulders iu a firm grasp, shook him backward and forward till th.e man’s head wagged foolishly upon bis shoulders.

“There goes Travers House,” mur­mured Mary, as she nestled Into her lover’s arms.

“What do you mean?" asked Blaine, grimly. And Mary told him.

“Vincent, dear,” she said presently, “we have a bard fight nefore us. Now that we must fight shoulder to shoulder—help me out, Vincent."

He pressed her In his arms. “When?" he asked, kissing her.

“Next month,” she whispered back. But long before the date set for

their marriage arrived Hamilton Hall had begun his legal battle.

“We’re at the end, Mary,” said Blaine, despairingly. “The case is scheduled- for next Tuesday, and we’ve no answer to make.”

“That means a death sentence to Aunt Sldonia," answered Mary, weep- teg.

"By tbe way, did 1 i» i you I’ve got a new lawyer?' asked Blaine present­ly. “He used to be a partner of old Ftega.ll—the man who acted for. Mr. Merritt so man? years. He wants us to attend a conference tbe day before the trial, to be held te his offices. Ho seems to have a card up his sleeve. TU call for you. on Monday at nine.”

Blaine o iled for Mary and took her to the lawyer’s office in a cab. -There they met Hall with bis attorney, and the five seated themselves xround the table. Blaine’s lawyer, « lank New Englander named Robertson, made his proposal. ,

“I find,” said Mr. Robertson, fumbling with his papers, “that Miss . Travers has occupied the premises unmolested for—er—twenty years, four months, and nineteen days. You

1 aware, of course, that under the common law, as amended In this state, that gives lw*r Indisputable -owner­ship."

“But she thought It was her hoit yelled the other.

"A great blunder," answered Mr Robertson. “We confess unreserved­ly that It was not. * Sbe was a squat­te r—Just a plain squatter on a ban doned land. But I guess she’ll squat there for a good many yegfifc longer

Phantom Lights and Phantom ShipsImplicitly Believed In by Sailor*

Who Fear Nothing.

All along the Cornish shores the phantom ship is thoroughly believed 1a, as also are the phantom lights. Some years ago - a schooner-rigged

-vessel made signals of distress to the west of St. Ives bay. A cable that put out reached her, sad one of tbe^ seamen made a grasp at her bulwark* Iu order to jump on board; but hi* hand met nothing solid, and as he' tumbled back into the boat the schoon- i er aud her sailing Ugh s disappeared in the darkness. Next morning a schooner out of the port of London was wrecked within the same vicinity, and all on board her perished. The phantom lights are seen generally be­fore a gale; the Cornish seamen call them “Jock Harry's lights," and the ship seen resembles the one that Is subsequently wrecked.

The death ship is a superstition pe- cullar to Cornwall. With black hull and stumpy bowsprit, she comes lq, with all her canvas set, against tbe wind and tide, aud as she turns to reach to seaward agate the doomed person dies. Most famous of the tra­ditional stories grouping round the death ship is that of a wrecker, who lived at Tregaseal, beguiling vessels with fsjse lights and doing to death those who escaped t£e waves. When he lay dying a black ship foil rigged with all sail set was noticed coming te upon 'the land against the wted dud tide; and as the man died sbe bore out to sea again te a half gale.

Porthcurno cove, near the Logau stone, has also a ship of doom. Some­times there is seen when the mists are rising off the marshes a black square rigged craft, which stands over to Bodelsn and Chygwiden and sud­denly vanishes. Upon whosoever sees,, her 111 luck and death are sure to fall.”

Near St. Ives, too, is a churchyard haunted' by an apparition, sight of which entaite disaster to seamen. In the sixties of the last century s ves­sel was wrecked ob the coast here. The men who went off to the rescue found on board a lady with a child te her arms. Sbe refused to part with her charge: and in drawing her by a rope from the wreck to the boat the child was lost in the raging seas. The lady died through shock and exposure and was burled In tbe local aimreh- yard. Today her wraith is said to haunt ihe shore, whether the day or the night Is tempestuous or dark or clear .or fine. And on whoever sees her, be he a seafaring man, disaster falls.

The coasts of Cornwall are second to none in the wildness, the variety and originality of their sea supersti­tions-.- For nowhere else In Europe has the sea taken such a toll of dead, and still takes. Only Cape Ushant, and, perhaps, the Goodwin sands'off the coast oT Kent, may rank behind Cornwall In the sea’s_colo»sal ledger of death and disaster—National Ma­rine.

Any motor car, regardless of the nameplate, may at times require some attention and adjustment

People sai»l ihm nlil Rogers was a miser, hut ili;ii siai«*im*ni was incor­rect. Rogers lia*l been a miser. He bad scraped ami Imsinled timing thirty years ,»r labor/ s.. tU t now, though he was barely lifiy years of age. be looked older. But Rogers retired three months liefnre, thanks to some wisely mode investments, and now, with Ijfteen ihouvatnl dollars at his disposal, he was still living mi in his little two-room Hat on the East side of New York, and trying to stretch his cramped imagination and plan his life anew.

Bitterly lie regretted that he was an old bachelor without a friend or wife, sweetheart or child.

Rogers had gone to the delicatessen store of his acquaintance, Holzapfel. to buy something for supper. He cooked his own supper upon a tiny stove iu hi^ apartment.

“I think," he said after he had made his purchases, "that I’ll take some pre­served fruit."

“Why, Rogers, you’re becoming a spendthrift, a regular spendthrift," said Holzapfel jestingly.

Rogers patronized the old German from long habit.

“Well. I’ve got some preserved peaches," said the old fellow. “But they wasn’t put up yesterday, Rogers. I’ll let you have them for a dime. They’re home-grown, and they're worth twenty-five—if they was fresh."

Rogers took the peaches and walked out of the store.

The peaches were bad. But that fact had uothing to do with the case. For inside the Jar was a little folded square of oiled paper. And In this was a folded piece of paper on which was written:

"Lucy Morrell, Egan, X. Y."That compensated old Rogers for

the loss of the peaches. It was one of those little harmless prauks played by country girls who put their names into bottles of fruit preserved by them and destined to go long distances and fall Into strangers’ hands. Often they had led to correspondence and some­times to romance.

Old Rogers racked his brain. He could not remember anyone in Egan named Morrell.

But that evening the loneliness of his flat oppressed his spirit; and the very word Egan, written out on the paper, made him homesick for the lit­tle town. In the end lie sat down and wrote:

"Lucy Morrell: I found your not* In the peaches.”

Days passed; old Rogers resumed the tenor of his life. He had not found the courage to break loose from his surroundings. But about a week later the postman left a letter in his box. It was the first he bad received for months, except bank no­tices and bills. It was addressed to him in a delicate, feminine writing, and inside he read:

"Dear Friend: "I got your letter, but you didn't say how you liked tho peaches.”

That was the beginning of a cor­respondence, and it brought a new happiness into old Rogers’ heart.

He had asked for her photograph, but she had not sent It, nor alluded to the matter again.

She wrote less often. But one day came a despairing note in which she confessed something perilously like love. And then old Roger* knew' that he had no alternative. So he wrote back, a wild letter such as h« would not have been capable of a year before, In which he told her.

Then a week passed, and then bei answer came, and it said simply:

"Come up to Egan. The third bouM from the depot. LUCY.”

On that same afternoon fid Rogers drew his money from the bank. Thee he turned his back upon Thirteenth street forever and set forth for Egan

He reached the little place at five on an autumn afternoon. Jt had aol changed as be had expected.

He descended at the depot and walked slowly toward the cottage. So he passed through the latched gate and knocked at the door. A pleasant, gentle-looking lady of about forty years opened to him,

"1 am James Rogers," said the vis­itor simply. “I have come to see your daughter.” He said the last word with a tone of Interruption. Yet he felt sure that this was Lucy’s mother. This was just such a mother as lie would have expected Lucy to have. And yet It was strange that she had never mentioned her in her letters.

“I am Lucy Morrell,” she said, trem­bling.

Old Rogers looked at her Incredu­lously, and then took her iu his arms and kissed her.

He knew then that be loved her the more truly beeeuse she brought to him a mind, ripened by experience and a love whose strength was only the deeper for the passlrg of the years. And she bad feared as he had feared, when the correspondence, be­gun in jeat, had ended in earnest. And then hla letter had come!

“But there's one thing I can't un­derstand, dearest,” he said that eve­ning, as they sat before the fire. “Why- did you write your name on the paper and put in the^ bottle of peaches? I could Imagine'that of you as a young girl, but not now.”

“My dear,” she ahkwered, smiling, “I bottled those peaches 96 je a n ago.”

“Heaven bless old Hohcapfiel!” m Rogers* remarkable ejacalatfan.

thought that Lord Alwyn and Signora Pasquale would be engaged before the vessel sighted Sandy llook. Their acquaintance began at the captalnV table on the first day; on tbe second, since the Intermediate passengers were all seasick, Lord Alwyn took the chair next to the opera singer; there­after they appeared to be Inseparable.

They had not much to say oh that evening, lor the realization of his love for the beautiful singer had come to the Englishman quite suddenly, and when it was too late to withdraw.

“You know I love you?" he began, us they walked slowly under the stars. "Yes, there was never any pre­tense between us. And our love should naturally end in marriage. Well—1 am already married!

"Let rae tell you briefly the story of wy life," he said. "When I was ten years younger 1 quarreled with my fa­ther. My elder brother was alive; then; i had no hope or thought of suc­ceeding to the title. I was sent to Colorado to a ranch. I was twenty- three. Impressionable, hopeless for the future, and very lonely. Old: Aaron Hopper, the ranchman who had under taken my education In return for fif* teen hundred dollars, had a daughter; a mere slip of a girl, good, sweet, pret^ ty, and charming but hopelessly il­literate. To (his day the sound of a concertina sets my heart beatlrig. When I heard you sing ‘My Old Kentucky Home’ at the chftrify meeting—that was the first time we met, do yon re­member?—the remembrance of thosf days come back to rae as fresh and keen as ever. Well, we were engaged; We were wildly In love, In a boy bd<S girl fashion. And we were to he mar­ried.

“The day before our marriage i re­ceived a letter from England. My fa­ther and brother were dead; both had been killed Instantly In a train wreck; 1 was heir to the title and the family estates and fortune. In ray elation J told Eva. {,

“1 shall never forget the scene rliajt occurred. How she refused to marrj me at first. Finally I overcame heir opposition and were married the next morning, and Eva cried all through the ceremony. ,

"That night, when 1 came home, Aaron stood at the door, waving a letter, frantic with rage and humiifai- tion. Eva had run away. I don’t know what became of her. Detectives failed to find her. Old Aaron died cursing her and asking ray forgiveness for having ruined my life.”

“You did not want a divorce?" asked the woman softly.

"No. How eonld I? |. knew that the brave little spirit that had given itself Into ray keeping was mine al­ways; that 1 was morally responsible for her; If ever she appeared I should have taken her home and asked no questions."

He ceased and rhe woman withdrew her hand and placed it on Lord Al- wvn’s shoulder.

"Stop, dear!" s h e said. “Now look ai me. 1 want t o ask you a question D o y o n lo v e h e r n s r a n c h n s you lore

‘‘And how much I love you you know. Hut, m.v clear, hero use I do hot love her I feel my duty the more strongly. So I am going to try to find her—and go—”

“Good-bye," she whiskered, and raised her lips to his. Then she was goqe and he was alone In the starlight arid with his sorrow.

Lord Alwyn spent three days In New York. He called on his detec­tive agency, hut they had learned nothing. Then he took the train for Colorado.

It was not until he reached the ranch that he came upon signs ,pf cultivation.

Alwyn drew rein at the door, hitched his horse to the old poet, and koocfcejg. A woman opened It. I t was Eva, dressed as a rancher’s daughter, rake over her shoulder, her bands dusty with hay. but Eva matured—No, It was not Eva. J t was Al(ce Pasquale 1

Lord Alwyn staggered against the door and his hands, groping feebly, found hers and held them.

"Do you know me now, dearest?’ she whispered. “Have you found her again, this Eva. this Ignorant girl?”

"Alice!” he said, chokingly. “It Jia you? You are Eva?"

She placed her arms round his neck and drew his head down to her breast

“You couldn’t hare known, dearest;” she whispered. "It was cruel of tne to try yon so long. How could you hare recognized the ignorant farmer’s gtrlIn Alice Pasquale. the singer, tbe It^l-

“ W h e n I left you that day ft wis with the r e s o l v e to claim you when 1 had become worthy of your love.■ I suffered in New York thi^e years un­til 1 bad acquired an education at night; then a woman engaged me as her companion to go abroad.

“Never to leave jnpu. dear.” be an­swered. "Till* is our honeymoon *t- last."

(©, i m . Wasters Newspaper taloa.) Bremerton huddled up in his seat,

looked out of the window of the West­bound Limited.

The train slowed, drew into the sta­tion, waited a few moments, and then puffed out again. A- man came into the carriage and stopped at Bremer­ton’s side.

Excuse me, sir, but are you John BremertonY* asked the other.

“Well?” Bremerton demanded very curtly.

“I .was sure that I was on your j track. ‘ I knew I had recognized you. 1 want tbe Inside story-of the failure of the Cornucopia bank. I am a repre­sentative of the Iowa Free-Soller.

“You tee. sir,” the reporter contin­ued, “of course we have all the de­tails of tbe failure. I want a real hu­man story."

“A real, human story!” repeated Bremerton mechanically, and smiled a little bitterly at the Irony of events which bad left his life, except for his widened experience, Just where it had been when he had left Framlngton, a penniless country boy, 15 years before. And hl« first sweetheart—Lizzie Gray! He hdfc written—every day for a month; after a year his letters ceased. After two years he had stopped think­ing of her. He had beard, not long afterward, that she was married

“Framlngton! Change here for Dee Moines 1” shouted the conductor, and BremertOB started up hastily and seized his suit o d e . He had wanted to see the old town again.

Standing upon the platform he found tbe reporter at his elbow. He had entirely forgotten him.

“I’m afraid there’a a wait of two hours for tbe Des Moines train,” he said. “We Just missed the connec­tion. Now, Mr. Bremerton, won’t you please help me with thle story? It will mean a great deal to me, sir.”

Bremerton was la man of quick de­cisions. He pulled out his watch.

“Three • ’dock," ae said, glancing at the dial. 1’U be back at four, and I’ll give you that rftory."1 He strolled ouX of tbe station. Ex­cept that a few new buildings had sprang up It was astonishing how lit­tle the town had changed, during the 16 years of his absentee; And at the end of the lane was tbe Grays’ cot­tage. There was the rustic stile .where Lizzie and he had met those 15 years ago.

A woman was walking up the lane. She bad turned In from below, Just where the Gray cottage abutted on the pike. She would see him when she, came out of tbe bend a few feet from the style. Bremerton -remem­bered bow his heart bad hammered that morning he-'had first kissed her. ft was here, and M u te had walked Just as she “Wanned now, unconscious that he watted-Ufifte. -i-He had wanted to run away, ae' le^ Wanted to run noW. And $he 3uuF looked up sudden­ly and seen him. she looked upDow.

And both bad-trembled. Jnst as both were trembling tfpw.

And he had kissed her, just as he kissed her now.

She had hardly changed except that her figure had grown mature and her face more thoughtful, graver.

“You are—not married, then?" he stammered.

She looked at him coldjp, the flush of shame sk>w!y- fading out of her cheeks. ’ w

‘.‘How cap you ask rae that, John?” she said.

“But I heard—-i heard—"‘That’s why yon ceased to write?” "No,” he answered. “I ceased to

write before I wqs told. But still, 1 am sure that if I had not beard so I should some day have come back.”. “To redeem your pledge, John? Well, I release Jtra from it. So let your conscience res t My school occu­pies. all my life and is my whole Inter­e s t labile yoq—you are, or were, a very busy man and a very famous one."

“Then you have beard?’’ he asked.‘ Of coarse I've beard of you, John

Bremerton,” she answered. “I—we have all followed, your c&reac-wlth tbe greatest interest?* she continued, col­oring faintly. "You know we are all proud of you in Framlngton.”

She disengaged herself hastily, looking aj> tbe . Bum In terror, and.
