I'm sure)”
Saturday morning when grandmoth- |

prised to find that Cousin Fannie and
I weren't going to the farm with the !
others. i
“Lucile had an engagement for to-
night and Fannie is going to stay and
act as chaperon,” explained mother.
“I don’t like it at all,” grumbled fa- |

you a little money by not going. The

just give me that amount, I won't
have to ask you for anything extra

afraid I'd have to do.”
He handed me a $5 bill. “I can’t

that his vexation had passed away. I |

Weed Renswed in Old Age the
* Friendship Broken for a
Quarter Century. i
BY E. J. SDWARDS.
History will tell you that Thurlow
Weed, when attending the first Whig |
| 2aucus at Buffalo, was so struck with |
the personal appearance of a young |
lawyer of the name of Millard Fill- |
more that he induced the Buffalo poll | EARLE C. TUTEN
ticlans to nominate him for and elect
| him to the New York legislature. It |
| will tell you that Mr. Weed was Mil- |
lard Fillmore’s political spons.r; that |
| the two men were very intimate for |
years, but that after Mr. Fillmore was |
elected vice-president of the United '
States he developed an intense jea- |
| lousy of Mr Weed that led to their
| complete political and personal
| estrangement. It will tell vou, further,
| that this bitter enmity ended only
| after a quarter of a century had
| passed, but it does not tell how this
was unexpectedly brought about
! through the simple agency of a bow to
‘a woman. Charles C. Clarke of New
! York city, who knew both Fillmore
| and Weed intimately, told me the
| story.
“In the autumn of 1875, Mr. Weed,
' following his habit of years, went to
| Saratoga Springs to spend the month.
{| He was accompanied by his sister
| Harriet, the faithful and constant
| companion of his old age. At that
! time his eyesight was so obscured
| that he was just able to distinguish
‘the outlines of persons he met, de
pending upon their voices to recognize
: them.
his sister were driving over to Sara-
toga Lake they met a carriage going
towards the village, whose occupant,
catching sight of Miss Weed, lifted
his hat and bowed with courtly grace.
M$. Weed turned questioningly to his
sister.
* ‘Harriet,’ he said, ‘didn’t that gen-
tleman bow to us?
“‘Yes,' was the reply.
“ ‘Who was it?’ asked Mr. Weed. 1
could not distinguish his features.
“Miss Weed hesitated. ‘Brother,
she said at iast, ‘that was Mr. Fill

minutes he was silent
turned to his sister.
“ ‘Harriet, he said, ‘when we re
turn to the village I will seek him out
and offer him my hand. We are old
men now, and cannot afford to remain
enemies any longer.’
“Once back in the village, Mr.
Weed, by inquiry, learned the name
of the hotel where Mr. Fillmore was
stopping. He went there immediately
and inquired for his old enemy.
“He is sitting on the veranda with
Mrs. Fillmore,’ the clerk told him
“ ‘Won't you take me to him?’ asked
Mr. Weed.
“He was led up to where the ex-
president was sitting. ‘Mr. Fillmore!’
he said. And Mr. Fillmore caught
both of Mr. Weed's hands in his, and
quarter of a century was ended. Side
by side the two old men sat for an
hour upon the piazza, becoming the
good friends they had been in the
early days when Millard Fillmore was
growing into prominence.”
Two or three days before 1 was told
this story, 1 called upon Mr. Weed.
The talk turned upon Mr. Fillmore.
Mr. Weed'’s then all but sightless eyes
looked into mine, a peaceful smile
lighted up his face. “It is one of the
happiest recollections of my life that
Mr. Flilmore and I became warm
friends again before he died,” he said.
