on the table, aud the buttle of chnm
pagiip was opened, It transpired tlmt
Mr. Uurgnyuo was about tosttty In town
on business for several weeks.
tou will be our guest, will you
not?" cried oct Matty, eagerly, with n
dash of rose color on either cheek, and
great dark eyes all luminous with pleas
ed excitement.
But this invitation Mr. Rurgoyno
mlllncly declined. He would see them
as often as ho could ; ho would be a
mostfrequent visitor at the cottage, they
might be nssurod, but his business for
bade his batn,i a sojourner theru. And
ho smiled to himself to see tho pretty
little brnuetto's evident disappolutmeut
at his words.
"She Is getting reconciled to cousins
from Omana," he thought.
Days and weeks crept on, Mr. llur-
go) lie's tall ligure haunted the little
cottage like a shadow, and ptetty Mat
ty grew to watch for his coming with
levcrisli lutentness.
The mystery of the hotel banquet
still remained unsolved. Mine hot of
the United States Hotel, when question
ed upon the subject, was as impertur
ably uncommuuicativo as tho sphinx
itself, and at last Luollla anil Matty
Carver were fail) to nbaudou tho fruit
less quoit.
Rut on the was to the concert Matty
be It remembered, vns to sing In otio of
the quartettes a mysterious pasteboard
box ni rived from New York, directed to
'Miss Matty Carver."
"What can it De?" cried Matty, all
n a tremble.
"You'll never know If you don't open
it and see," said the mure, philosophical
Lucllla. "Here, I'll cui tha strings."
And there, shrouded In innumeiable
layers of oiled silk and tissue paper, ap
peared an exquisite dress ol ruby silk,
with a train uf glistening ruby satin,
aud such lace on the bodice us our poor
little village maiden had only dreamed
of, never seen; while a card, labeled,
"Jilss Matly Carver, to wear (it the
conceit!'' was laid among lists taunted
folds.
Matty was vry pale, with red eyos
aud heavy lashes, when Mr. Durgoyno
dropped casually In that nfteruouu.
"Julius," said she, "i have found
you out."
'Found mo out, en?" said Mr, liur
goyne, half smiling. "Am i so like a.

It wus you that sent me that dressl"
Dashed Matty.

"Ad It was you mat ordeivu mourn

Tho particular kiud uf smoothing-

came near upsetting thu reason of a
bright young clerk and the proprietor
of a Chicago tailoring establishmeiis.
The manager svauted two ot the instru

but. after the latter hail sat for some
time writing out thu order, ho looked
up In a bewildered way, auu usKed:
'What would you call thu plural ot a
tallor'u goose?"
'why geese is the plural ol goose,"
said the maunger.
"Well you wouldn't, nave me write
an order Jor two tailor's geese, would
you?"
"That dees not sound scarcely sensi

piletur. "How would It sound to say
two tailor's gooses?"
Hie boy turued to Ills dictionary, and
shaking his head remarked:
'Webstes does not glvu auy eucii plu

The situation was growing serious,
when the clerk suddenly I ell to writing,
witn tho exclamation;
"Now I'll lix It "
And thu order which bo soon handed
to the head of thu house '.o slgu did tlx

But farther than this what Is the plu

Honesdale, Pa., Jan. 21. In 1843
the county seat of Wayne County, Pa.,
was changed from Bethany to llonus
dale. The Court IIouss that was con
structed then did duly ns such upttl 1377.
Under the laws of Pennsylvania no now
county buildings can be constructed un
til three successive Urand Juries have
recommended tho work. Then the
County Court can order the County
Commissioners to build. Threo Grand
Juries declared that the Wayne County
Court House was inadequate to the wants
of the county. In 1870 Judgu Waller
and his associates ordered the Commis
sioners to build a new edifice. The
move was opposed In nil paits qf the
county. A niirberof politicians In Hie
county organized an nntl-Court House
party. Lawyers wcro hired to take
legal measures to stop the wotk on the
Court House. Bonds to tho amount of
$100,000 were put forth by the Com
missioners ; but the anti-Court House
party captured tho Associate Judges of
tho county, and they refused to approve
the bonds. The Commissi jners, how
ever, kept on wth the work, borrowing
motley nt the hanks. In 1877 the anti
Court Uoeso party nominated nn entire
county ticket in opposition to the regu
lar Demuciatic and Republican tickets,
and beat the combined vqto of the regu
lar tickets by 2,'JOO votes, and then the
County Commissioners, whose term of
office did not expire until 1379, were
harassed by all sorts of legal proceed
ings. An act of the Board that Intensified
the popular feeling against thn Court
House movement, was tlo demolishing
of the old Court House. The feeling
throughout the county became so bit
ter that tha county ollicarJ were threat
ened with personal violence. Fanners
refused to trade will) business men, and
drove through t he town and ten miles
further on to IIawey. Judge Waller,
the presiding Judge of the district, uni
formly decided all questions of law in
the Court House case adversely to the
opponents of the movement. Th anti-
Court House leaders petitioned t lie
Legislature to Impeach the Judge, but
the Legislative Committee examined In
to the caso and dismissed the charges
as frivolous.
The work on the Court House pro
gressed until the winter of 1878. The
death of Thomas Brown had a disheart
ening effect on his imrvlvors in the
Board. An nutl-Court House man was
appointed in Ids place. The Court
House was about half doue when work
oeasud for the season iu 1878. It had
oust $00,000. The people declared that
they would resist with lotce the efforts
of the tax collectors to raise money for
tho Court House. The couuty auditors
refused to allow moit of the bills con
tracted by the Commissioners for the
work, and instituted suit against the.
County Treasurer and the Commission
ers to recover moneys expended for the
work. This being the situation, and It
being hoped that politics! capital might
be made by thu cause, the attorney of
the Commissioners, who wasaostiilldate
lor Congress, a It bed them to announce
that limy could nut go on wlththework
until times weru better. Last fall the
antl Court House party eluciud a new
Board of Commissioner!, two members
of Assembly, a fatate Senator, and all
tho county officers but one, and now thu
affairs uf llju couuty nro all la their
bauds.
After the old Court IIousq was de
slroyed Liberty Hall, tho public hall of
the place, was Idled for a court room.
This the new Board of Commissioners
considered too expensive. They rented
a hail iu a German hotel, in an out-of-the-way
part of the village, the rent to
be $100 a year. They ordered the fur
niture to be moved from Liberty Hall to
the new room ou Thursday last. A
load or so of furniture was taken out,
but Judge Waller ordered the janitor to
close the hall and permit nn further re
moval of the furniture. "I will hold
court where 1 please!" ho exclaimed ;
"audi Intend to hold it iu Liberty Hall."
The Commissioners say that unless the
rourts are hild In thu room they have
rented lley will not pay any of the
court expanses. Tim next court meets
lu February, Tho Van Alstlue tnuril r
case ami the rase of Hie llolljitetvlllo
burglars are to ba tried. The county
newspaper has the proclamation of the
court calling jurors and others to meet
lu Liberty Hull. Another newspaper
has It calling them together iu Weaver's
Hall.
