HOW THE BELL RANO.
JULY 4, 1770.
There was tumult In the city,
In the quaint old Quaker town.
And tlu streets were black with people,
Pai'ln;; restless up mid down;
People frulhcrlni; in corners,
where they whlscrctl each to each.
And tho sweat stood on their temples
Willi the earnestness of speech.
As the black Atlantic currents
Lush llic wild New England shore,
So they bent nj;:iliist the state house,
So tlicy stiryed against lis door;
And llic hiIiikIIh!; of tlirir voices
Made a harmony profound,
Till the quirt street of Chestnut
Was all tuibuU'iit with sound.
'Will they do It?" "Dare they do It?"
"Who Is speakli:?" "What's the news?"
'What of Adams?" "What of Carroll?"
"Oh, Ood grant they won't refuse."
Make soino way there!" "Let me nearer!"
"I tun .sllllliiL'1" ".Stillpthi'iil
When a nation's life's at hazard
Wc'c no time to think of men!"
So they beat against the ortiil,
Man and unman, malil and child;
And tho July sun In henen
On tlio crowd looked down and smiled.
The same sun that saw llic Spartan
Shed his patriot blood In aln,
Now beheld the Soul ot Freedom
All iiiKoiuiucrcd rise again.
So llicy beat against the portal,
Wlille nil solemnly Inside
The delegates to congress,
Willi but reason for their guide,
O'er a simple scroll debated,
Which, though simple it might be,
Could shake the cliffs of Fngll-h
With the thunders of the free.
At the portal of the state house,
I.Ike some beacon In u storm,
Bound which wtnes are wildly beating,
Stood a slender, boyish form.
With his ejes fixed cm the steeple
And his ears Hgmie with greed.
To ratch the first announcement
Of the signing of the deed.
Aloft In that high stccplo
Sat the bellman, old and gray;
He was sick of litillsh power,
lie was sick ot British pay;
So he sat with lean hand ready
On the clapper of the bell.
When signaled from the portal,
The happy news to tell.
Sec! seel the black crowd Milvcrs
Through all its lengthy line.
As the boy upon the portal
IjKiks up and gives the sign:
And straightway ut the signal
The old bellman lifts his hand
And sends the good news making
Iron mime through the land.
I low they shouted 1 What rejoicing!
How tho old bell shook the air,
Till the clang ot Freedom rufllcd
The calm-gliding Delaware!
How llic bonfires and the torches
Illumed the night's rcicv.c,
And from the flames, like I'licrulx,
Slaughtered Liberty arose.
The old bell now Is silent,
Ami hushed its iron tongue,
But the spirit It awakened
Still lltes forever oung.
And while wo breathe the sunlight
On til.- Fourth of this July,
Let us not lorgct the bellman
Who, 'twlxt the earth and sky,
Hang out our Independence,
Which, please Cod, shall nccr die.
Cured bya Photo.
Charlie Cornwall and his w ife enjoyed,
during the flist year or so of their mar
riage, the blissful belief that each had
been the other's first love. Still, al
though Charlie was fully persuaded that
his I.ncy had never seen anything lov
able In man before she met hlui, and al
though Lucy was convinced that her
husband loved her with true anil una
dulterated affection, Mrs. Cornwall
could not entirely throw off tho distrust
of tho opposite sex which Is always to
some extent innate In women, and be
ing aware that there is n very popular
code of ethics which makes marriage
equivalent to license, she kept n jealous
eye upon her husband. Notliln;, how
ever, happened to Interfere with the
harmony and happiness of their life to
gether until Charlie, having answered
a very tempting advertisement In the
Field, anent a shooting-box In Inver-ness-shlre
which was to be let on appli
cation to a certain "X. V. Z.," and
havlngconcludcdthe necessary arrange
ments, had transported himself and wife
thither.
Upon the firt day after their arrival.
while Charlie went round with the keep
er over the ground which It was pro
noted to break on the morrow, Mrs.
Cornwall vas pretty fully occupied In
arranging the little house to their re
quirements. Experience of country
house visits and seaside apartments had
taught Lucy Cornwall, among other
things, that the drawers of wash-stands
are very often the receptacles of the
most extraordinary ruhhlah and odds
and ends, hut during all this experience
the bid never met with such a shock as

INDEPENDENT"
LEHIGHTON, CARBON COUNTY,
awaited her during her explorations of
this little remote Highland shooting;
box. In one of the aforesaid drawers
she found a photograph of her Charlie,
one of a set which she remembered he
had taken when their billing and coding
was In full swing, upon which was
written In his handwriting: ''From
your ever true and affectionate Char
He." But for this writing she wonld have
regarded this discovery as helng merely
an extraordinary coincidence, but the
Inscription was a damning fact and
when she put two and two togethcr,and
recalled his ardent profession of fidelity
to and affection for her at tho time the
photograph was taken, at one feH
swoop she shattered the' pleasant belief
Into which she had lulled herself as to
her husband's Immaculate behavior be
fore his marriage to her. There was
not an extenuating circumstance con
ceivable. The photograph had certain
ly not been given to a man, or such an
Inscription would not have graced It:
but had without doubt been given to
some woman, who, finding herself de
ceived, had thrown it away In disgust.
So she waited the arrival of the un
conscious Charlie with that stern joy
which woman, as well as warriors,
sometimes feel; determined, no matter
at what cost, to find out to whom lie
had been "ever true and affectionate"
at a time when he was continually
swearing that she was his only Idol on
earth. Her heart beat quick when a
well-known step and a careless whistle
down stairs proclaimed the approach of
the victim, and she made no answer to
his "Lucy! Lucy I Where are you?IIcre's
a Highland welcome for a fellow who
has been tramping about since breakfast
time, and who Is tired, wet ami hungry I
Hullo!"
This last ejaculation was the result of
his first glimpse of his wife's face". He
saw at once that something had hap
pened during his absence and therefore
composed his features to a suitable
gravity.
"Whv, what's the matter, Lucy!" he
continued. "You look as If "
Sirs. Cornwall cut him short with
magisterial severity.
"Charles Cornwall," she said, hold
ing up the photograph, "explain this If
you please!"
The unfortunate man gazed at his
own counterfeit presentment and the
color fled from his checks.
"Explain what? Explain this photo?"
he stammered. "Why, my angel, I
wonder you're not ashamed to keep
such a hideous work of art. It was
done, whilst we wcie swcethcaititi;, be
fore I grew my beard. There's n coat!
There's a head of hair! Hit! ha! I nevfcr
did come out well never!" .
"Charles Cornwall," continued his:
wife, still keeping her relentless gaze
fixed on the unhappy man's guilty face,
"1 found this photograph In a drawer
up stairs. Now, how did it get there?"
"My dear, good soul, how on earth
am I to know?" replied Charlie. "I
gave It to some fellow, I suppose, and
he-"
"No, Charles," said his wife, "not to
some fellow. When one man gives his
carle to another, he does not as a rule,
describe himself as 'ever truo and affec
tlonate.' Women may be fools, Charles,
but your wife is no fool. There's a
mystery here which I must and will
have cleared up. O, Charles, Charles!
How often you have sworn to me that I
was your first and only love!"
"So you were," said Charlie; "and
you can't prove anything to the con
trary." "No, but t!ils photograph "could,"
answered Mrs. Cornwall. "You've
given It to some woman and I shall
make It my business to find out who she
was."
The wretched man groaned Inwardly
and racked his brain to recall any Inju
dicious little present of this kind he
might have made during that period of
festive enthusiasm which usually marks
the close of bachelor life. It could not
have been Stella, of the Jocosa Theater,
or that pretty girl In tho pink dress he
met at Henley, or . Xo; he was
positively sure that even If he had dis
tributed little mementoes of this nature
amongst his fail friends he would not
have been such a fool as to write, on.
them so criminating a sentence, as that
by which he was now confronted.
Mrs. Cornwall, of course observed his
embarrassment and naturally coustrtied
It as admissive of guilt.
"Charles." she salt), "there will not
he another day of happiness between us
until the mystery of this photograph Is
solved and until I know who has been
sniggering aod slobbering over It."
'My dear, don't ho silly," said her
husband. "If I t ill you that I haien't

my photo to anybody, male or lemale.

my honor and fidelity on account of a
trumpery discovery like this and If my
assurance cannot satisfy you must re
main unsatisfied. It's tin warranted, It's
cruel and it's absurd."
, Of course, Mrs. Cornwall fell to sob
bing at this unexpected display of spirit
and whined out something from liyron
to the effect that love was a thing apart
from man's llfe.but that it was woman's
whole existence. In which frame of
inlnd the cold-blooded Charlie left her,
glad at the success so far of the attitude
he had taken up. but by no means so
sure of Innocence as he made himself
out to be. So for three or four days the
relationship between man and wife was
what in political language would be
termed "strained."
About a week afterwards Charlie
came In from shooting, and saldi-

PA., SATURDAY, JULY
"M'ml Perhaps tho lady whom you
so signally favored will come with him,"
said Ijjrs. Cornwall, with, sal castle cm-.
phasls.
"We shall see," replied her husband.
"He didn't say anything about bring
ing a lady with him. Shall I ask hi in
to?"
"Oh, dear, yes, of course," replied
Mrs. Cornwall. ''You must be anxious
to see one to whom you are ever true
and affectionate after all thts time.
Oh, yes, ask her by all means. It
would bo such a delicate act of courtesy
towards me. Wht Is 'X. Y. Z.V
name?"
"Fordycit Ulcliard Fordyce," replied
Charlie. Jp
The memlon of this name produced a
strange effect upon Mrs. Cornwall, which
Charlie could not fall to note) the color
left her checks, her brcathlngcame hard
and fast and her lingers began to twitch
nervously.
"Well, my dear, what's the matter?"
he asked.
"Oh. nothing," replied Lucy. "I I
tlon'J feel very well. I think this Scotch
air Is rather to strong for me. I would
like to go south again."
Such a sudden Indisposition of one
who had been, up to a few seconds
previously, In robust health made Chas.
Cornwall ponder. Why should the
fc of ltlclianl Fordyce produce such a
stnenge and Immediate effect 7 Kvldent-
ly there was something below tho sur
face, and as he had during the past fen-
days undergone an Intolerable persecu
tion at the hands of his wife, he was in
no mood to leave any stono unturned by
which he.cotild turn the tables on her.
So he replied:
"Nonsense I Lucy, nonsense 1 You
havu't been here long enough to get ac
customed to tho air, so don't talk al
ready of going South when we've got
two months to run. Besides, my dear.
I'm curious about this affair of tho
photograph, and when Fordyce comes
I'll ask him If ho knows anything about
It. Kemcmbcr. you have made a very
gravo accusation against me, and al
though I have not said much, it has
been a source of great annoyance and
grief to mc."
"Oh, never mind about that, Charlie,"
said his wife; "1 haven't been very well
for some days and when one Isn't well
one is opt to be Irritable at trlllcs. Con
sider It all as unsaid and let us getaway
from this damp, dreary place."
But Charlie, whose turn It was to be
suspicious, Insisted that she should give
the place a trial of a few days longer,
and so, In spite of all her sobbings and
entreaties, Mrs. Cornwall had to yield
with the best grace she could.
On tho very next morning Charlie, as
he was smoking hlsafler-breakfast.pipo
saw; Fordyceicpuilng up the garden, but
for reasons of his own, he did not allow
himself to be seen and did not go out to
greet his visitor. He listened, however,
attentively and after hearing his wife
run hastily down-stairs, he heard Mr.
Fotdyce's cheery voice sing out:
"Why, Lucy! who would have thought
of meeting you In this out-of-the-way
corner! We haven't seen each other
since "
Here Mrs. Cornwall, interrupting,
said: "Hush, Dick, hush! I'm Mrs.
Cornwall now. We must not be as we
wcro to each other, for If my husband
wcro to know that we were acquainted I
can't think what he would do. As it
is, I'm In a dreadful fix on account of a
photograph of his which I found up
stairs a tut which "
At that moment Charlie, who had In
tently followed the little chap. up to
this point and who feared that further
absence on his part would prevent the
truth about the photograph Jiecomlng
known to him, appeared. gjJA
"Glad to sen you Mr. Vrce," ho
said, extending his hand. "I don't
think you know Mrs. Cornwall hut "
It was dilllcult to say who looked the
more uncomfortable, Lucy Cornwall or
Ulcliard Fordyce, and Charlie, who now
saw a chance of being able to pay off
long arrears of jealous persecution, en
joyed their embarrassment thoroughly
and continued:
"But perhaps you have met before?"
"Y-jcs, Mr. Cornwall, I think I once
had the pleasure,"shceplshly murmured
Fordyce.
"Egad I" thought Charlie, "he must
have made a jolly good use of that 'once.'
I rather think there's something more
to come out."
But lie only said:
"That's all right, then; I needn't in
troduce you." And to his wife's relief
he went on talking generally about the
house and the prospects of the season
and of one thing and another, until she
was almost lulled Into a sense of security
and began to think that after all he was
not so very anxious to solve the mystery
of the photograph. She was not so well
pleased, however, when Charlie Insisted
that Fordyce should como back to din
ner nfler the day's shooting, for she
knew very well that men wax very much
more eloquent upon certain subjects
over their after-dinner claret than In the
presence of their wives. So when For
dyce had gone she selied the opiorttinl
ly and said In Charlie:
"I think it is very unennstderate of
you, Charlie, when I tell you that I
don't feel well, to ask a man In to din
ner." "All right, my dear," replied her hus
band. "You need not turn up If you
don't feel equal to It, and we will stait
for the South to-morrow If you wish It.
At the same tlm I cannot help remark
lng upon the extraordinary su ldennessof
your Indlsposltlou and Its coincidence
j with .the arrival of Mr, Fordyrc upon
jour little world here. But as I have
j asked him to dinner, I can't put him off
and I think lie would remark your aV
sence, especially as be seems to bo an
old friend of yours."

If
' If she could but get hold of Fordycc she
might be able to stare off what now
seemed Inevitable exposure, but he was
out on the moors and the only grain of
comfort she could extract from the situa
tion, was the probability that ho would
naturally not be particularly eloquent
upon a subject which was of rather a
delicate character and that Charlie
would not get much out of him.
She accordingly appeared at dinner,
smothering her anxiety under a mask of
affability; and nothing occurred during
the process of the meal to render her
especially unhappy. But when she rose
to leave the two men to their wine,
Charlie said:
"You don't mind smoke, .Lucy, and
It will he uncommonly dnll for you all
alone In the drawing room, so stay with
us. I am sure Mr. Fordyce will pardon
the departure from conventionality In a
shooting-box."
Of course both the visitor and Lucy
gladly acquiesced.
"Yes, Mr. Fordyce," and Charlie, as
if In continuation of a hroken-off con
versation, "wo are exceedingly com
fortable here, but we might be a great
deal more so If
"Xow Its coming," groaned poor Mrs.
Cornwall to herself.
"If," went on Charlie, "you could help
us to clear up a mysterious little matter
connected with a photogrnph of myself
which Mrs. Cornwall found a few days
ago In a drawer up stairs, and for the
existence of which I cannot for the life
of me account, and which, not unnaturally,-makes
her a little uneasy."
"What will Dick say, I wonder?"
thought Mrs. Cornwall.
"A photograph of you found In a
drawer up-stalrs?" exclaimed Fordyce,
in astonishment.
"Yes," said Charlie. "Lucy my dear,
just run up stairs and bring the photo
praph for Mr. Fordyce to see."
Mrs. Cornwall rose and left the room.
Charlie seized the oppoitunlty and said
lo his guest;
"Look here, Fordyce, we are men of
the world and understand each other.
Of course, I seo how matters stand, al
though the presence of that photograph
here Is such a mystery to me. When 1
wa9 spooning Lucy I was not such a
fool as to believe that a pretty girl llko
h ;r would have no other admirer but inr,
and of course I never believed her when
she told mo that she- never loved any
but me. But von see she's very lealous,
and now that I have a chnce of giving
her a lesson I don't want to let It go.
Understand, eh?"
Fordyce nodded, ami Mrs. Cornwall
entered with the photograph, which she
handed to hint.
"I want you to look at It," said Char
He, In a calm, judicial tone, "because,
to be quite candid with you. It has
caused a good deal of unpleasantness
between us, and when two peoplo marry
for love, as vc did, ami each Is the oth
er's first love, such a calamity as 11'.
fcellng ought to be Impossible."
Then, turning to Mrs. Cornwall,
whose exquisite misery during this ex.
poso of tho statu of affairs to an old
llame may be Imagined, he said: "All I
want to do, my dear, Is to clear myself
In your eyes by having It plainly proved
that this photograph was never given by
me to any other woman, as you suspect
the case."
Fordyce began his answer with a roar
of laughter.
"Well, Mr. Cornwall." ho said at
length, "you have been so exceedingly
candid with mc that 1 must be the same
with you."
Mrs. Cornwall's agitation was painful
to witness. If she could have frowned,
or shaken her head, or touched Fordyce
without attracting her husband's atten
tion she would have done so, but she
dared not, and braced up for the worst.
Fordyce went on.
"This photograph. Mr. Cornwall, I
took from the lady who Is now your
wife, when I was head uer heels in
love with her."
'That was going on, then, at the. same
time as my courtship of her,' said Char
lie, quietly.
'Yes,' replied his visitor; 'I was a
rival of yours, although I did not even
know- your name.'
'And I had no Idea that I had a rival,'
said Charlie, determined that the ar
rows now wounding his wile should be
well baibcd.
'Then, when I found that she had a
photograph of you,' continued Fordyce,
'I was jealous, and took It away from
her. And then I lost sight ot her al
together, although 1 heard she was
married, forgot all about the photo
probably threw It away in my disap
pointment and there it has been ever
since.'
'Xow, Mrs. Cornwall,' said her hus
band, with affected severity, 'I hope that
)ou are satisfied that at any rate I am
not the sinner.'
'Oh, yes, Charlie dear, of course I
am!' sobbed Lucy; 'I've been very cruel
ami wicked, and 1 hope you will forgive
me!'
