r-.j-i THE SCRANTON TKIBTJKE-SATUKDAY M ORISTINGr, JANUARY 9, 1897, 10 INHERE IGIORANCE IS BUS I I By 1Y1ARQARET of "John Copyright, 1S97, by the SYNOPSIS. "William West has been settled as clergy, man In Mercer for llfteeii years, and lius taken Ills placo In the community ns a man ot judgment and character. Ho lmd been taken from nn institution ns a lail, and put through college by a Professor Wilson, who had recognised his quali ties, and who bequeathed him a consider able sum of money. Amy Townscnd has come to Mercer to visit her friends, tho Pauls, John Paul being senior warden of West's church, and her cousin. Amy and West are brought together by Mrs. Puul, and become engaged, being greatly in lovo and esteeming each other's quali ties highly. West comes to sen Amy and tho Pauls, and the conversation drifts into the subject of confession of previous faults under various circumstances. After much discussion, Amy declares that she believes that engaged couples should do this. West leaves in a very thoughtful mood. Ho remembers a serious fault com mitted twenty-threo years before, as a lad. FA11T III. Yet. In suite of himself, his mind crept back to tho brink of that black abyss of memory: those were dreadful days, thoso ilnys of repentance twenty years iiffo. Thu remembrance- of his Bin would surge over lilm at tho most unexpected moments in tho midst of work or study; when ho was talking;; when he was praying: when, perhaps, he was helping some other human crea ture stagger along under a burden of remorse. The deeper ho went Into the new life he had begun to lead the clearer tho heavenly vision grow before his eyes tho blacker the sin seemed. For years, tho memory of It used to come over him with a sudden sinking and sickening of the soul. He remem bered how inescapable tho torment of his regret had been. There would be periods of forgetfulness, when he was plunged into work, mid life, because it was service, seemed good and sweet; then, at some word, or the look of the sky, or the smell of a llower tho evil spirit ot recollection would leap upon him and tear him. Vet tho periods of forgetfulness had" lengthened and lengthened. The pain and shame had faded and faded. The thing that gave him this sick feeling, ns he sat here in his study at midnight, was not the fact that he hud sinned; it wns the memory of how ho had suffered for his sin. Thr sin Itself, now, was too re mote, too separate from himself to be real to him; but the suffering! he could not bear to think of it. "How mad this is!" he said to him self, with a curious terror lest the suf fering should come back; the horror a man might have felt who saw the rack upon which, long before, ho had been stretched. He drove his thoughts back to the question of his duty to Amy: that was plain reasoning, and had noth ing to witli his nightmare. He lighted another match, but held it absently, until It scorched his fin gers, then Hung It down with an angry exclamation. It seemed as though the pain burned through all this fog of the past, and showed him the facts which he must judge, and his own folly of uncertainty. For, after all, what was this matter he was trying to de cide? Was it merely the question of what was best for Amy? Not what was most comfortable for himself; it wns that abstraction called honor, as applied to Amy's happiness. What was for happiness, or, as he had put It first, what was his duty to her? To let her know his past, or to keep a secret from her, anil allow her to suppose that sho knew his life, as she did her own? Admit that it-was his Impulse to tell her; what did thnt impulse really mean? Primarily, that it would bu a great relief to him; tho Idea of hav ing any reserves was most repugnant to him. For the moment the Instinct was again strong to tell her. Hut frowning, he went on with h'ls argu ment: A relief to him: but what to her? A pain and a shamo; n. memory that might outlast another twenty threo years, perhaps. Hut she might want to know It,? Well that was no rea son. If she wanted poison, should ho give It to her? And this was poison. Did he not know that? Good God! But had she a right to know- it? Here ho was perfectly clear; certainly not THEN HE STOPPED BY THE OPEN WINDOW'. It In no wise bore upon his relation to her. Furthermore, tho question of prudence wns not Involved: there was no chance that some day, some-how, It might come to her cars. She could never hear It, oxcopt from him. If this wero not the case, of course, he would tell her. But was he deceiving her? Was he, ns he put It, taking her lovo on false pretences?'' William West got up and walked the length of his library; then ho stopped by the open window, and looked out on tho silent street: a po liceman was on his heat glanced up and saw him, and touched his helmet with two fingers. "Good evening, sir; don't know hut what I'd be-tter say good morning!" "What! Is It as late as all that, Author WW SS-? 1 DELAND. Ward, Preacher. Bacheller Syndicate, Hellly?" the minister snld, and added a friendly inquiry about the mini's hand, which seemed to be hurt. Amy's stern sense of the retributive Justice of tho accident came Into his mind, and he smiled involuntarily. The po liceman looked sheepish, ns tho clergy man meant he should, niul turned the conversation by remarking that he would "6e lokln' after the rectory special when Mr. West was away on his weddln' tower." "Thank you, llellly!" the other an swered, heartily. The policeman's stops wont echoing off Into the night; a street lamp nick ered, and a puff of soft wind wandered Into the window. Deceiving her; taking her love under false pietenses! "Wns he anything but tho ninn Amy supposed him to be? Very humbly, very truly, he snld to himself that, by the grace of God, he was an honest, pure, God-fearing man. That sin of twenty-three years ago was not his sin. He, William West, forty-two years old, whose honorable record in the com munity was spread thiough all these "I'VE COME TO TELL, years of service, nas not that base, mean, wicked boy. The sin was not his. It was a sin of youth; a sin al most of childhood. It meant nothing to him. now. "It is nothing now," he insisted, pas sionately. Accustomed to weigh other people's actions and motives, ho know that he was discriminating with al most judicial Impartiality when he thus looked himself In the face. "A re pentant man has no more to do with his sin, for which he has made repara tion, than n well man has to do with the disease of which he has been cured." He remembered that he had used this Illustration once to some one else; ho must apply now- to himself. No; he was not deceiving Amy. He was only sparing her; sparing her, to be sure, from a pain she might wish to bear, but that had nothing to do with the question, j If she know, she would suffer; not from a fact, but from an illusion; for he would be confessing a sin which wns not his sin. Honor? The word seemed artificial as he thus put the situation betore him. No; It would be cowardly to tell her, and it would be untrue. There was nothing for him to do, but face the fact that, to spare her, he must bear, for the rest of his life, the wretched burden of realizing that he had a secret from her. Sanely, truly, this good man believed that his Impulse to tell the woman he loved was selfish and cowardly; It was an Impulse to make her share a burden which he deserved to bear alone. Fur thermore, It was the effect, not of rea son, not of religion, not of love; It was the effect, llrst, of the selfish impulse to seek relief by sharing a cruel knowl edge; secondly, of a traditional senti mentality, the weak and drivelling out come, of that setyso of justice which is expressed In the willingness to bear consequences. Well, the boy who had sinned, had borne thu consequences; he had suf fered. For the man to suffer, now, twenty three years after, was unreasonable, but Inevitable. For a woman, who had no part or lot In that young past, to suffer, now, twenty-three years afterwards, was foolish and useless. If the man permitted It, he was a coward and n fool. . This, at least, was what William West told himself. The conclusion to which the Rev. Mr. West came was that, If his love for Amy was deep enough anil unselfish enough, he would hold his tongue. He believed that confession, npurt from reparation, was the refuge of the weak mind. Having thus decided to bear alone tho burden of his secret, he went early In the morning, and told the woman he loved. Of course, there is no explanation of this vacillation and Indifference to his own judgment, except the mere state ment that lie was In love. "Amy Is trying on her dross," Mrs. Paul said, when he was ushered Into the library, "so, If you want to see her, you can go home at once. But perhaps you may condescend to talk to me a little while?" "I must see Amy, please," ho said. He had a way of putting people aside so gently and peremtorlly, that Mrs. Paul, who was not a yielding person, never dreamed of protesting. "I'll tell her. But she really can't come down for ten minutes. Do you mind waiting?" "Very much," he said, smiling. "Tell her to come down Just as she Is, and let mo see her frock." "Indeed, she shan't do anything of the sort," said Mrs. Paul, with Indigna tion; but relented to the extent of let ting him have the library to himself, and going upstairs to send the girl to him. Amy enmo lloatlns In with a snowy gleam and rustle, and stood before hlin, bidding him not to dare to touch her; though, indeed, being a ipere man. ho was far too uncomfortably - awed to think of taking this glorious' white creature Into his poor human arms. "You are magnitlcent.but you are not il df2Z&Zzj i Amy," he said: "do get on some com mon clothes. I'm ufruld Of you." "That Is as It should be slti" she told him. "1 shnll dress like this every day, If It keeps you obedient. If I had had on my wedding dross last night, yuu would not have dared not to stay to dinner when I wanted you." Dor look, through the mist ot tulle, of soft reproach and challenge, was too much for fonr, and ho boldly kissed her; which made her protest, and lly from further risk of crushing the brav ery ot her wedding day. When she cnmobnckagnln, In a blue cotton gown, trig and pretty, with a bunch of pans les In her belt, there wns, fortunately, nothing to bo hurt by being crushed. There was a moment of tender and passionate silence. Ills errand faded fiom William AVcst's mind; the real ity .of life was here! his past was no more to him than thu eggshell Is to the eagle. So when, later, leaning for ward In his chair, holding her I and In his, looking Into her pure eyes, he be gan to speak, It was almost casually. As he faced the great fact of human lov the question of telling her or not telling lir, of that old, dead and burled sin. was suddtnly unimportant they loved each other! "Dear," he said, "I've come to tell you something. What you said last night about having no reserves put It Into my head. I had forgotten It." It wns characteristic of the man that there was no preamble; his words were simple, and he was perfectly matter-of-fact that unnnxlous; so much so that Amy laughed a little. "Were you a year-old crlmlnnl? Well, tell me at once! I may reconsider, you know." There was something In the assur ance of her gayety that jarred n little, and he said seriously: 'it Is a wrongdoing of my youth, Amy. I'm not sure that It Is not selfish YOU SOMETHING. tn tell you about It; but I can'! hci tho felling of holding anything back fiom you." An answering gravity came into the girl's face, but she smiled. "Tell me anything; I am not afraid to hear!" TO BE CONTINUED. VUIY HE DON'T liIKE DUDES. Oklahoma's K-(;ivurnor Tells n Story in Which One Figured. From the New York Sun. A former governor of Oklahoma was In town a few days ago, and some New York men were entertaining him. An Incident started the conversation on dudes, and how, sometimes, they had been agreeable disappointments. "We never had any real dudes In Oklahoma that, I ever heard of," said the former governor. "There was one, come to think of It, who got mixed In the shuttle somehow. I was In El Heno one day.and while sitting on the piazza of the meanest hotel that was ever run anywhere, Sol Wade, son of old Ben Wade, you know, who was in com mand at Fore Reno, and who was in El Reno every day, said to me: " 'Governor, there soes a dude.' "I nearly fell from my chair in get ting uu to see the creature. But there he was as hu had been pictured. Col. Wade said he had heard that a dude would sometimes astonish people by some extraordinary feat or heroic act which entitled him to consideration. I never believed It, but as Col. Wade was an otllcer I left It go. "While we were looking at the crea ture we saw a women trundling a baby wagon along the sidewalk the only one m town, I should remark and a minute later we saw a runaway team coming In the direction of the mother and child and the dude. A runaway team In El Reno, gentlemen, has the right of way. On camu the team. It was within a few feet of the woman and child when I saw the dude rulso his hand, and" "Saved the child!" exclaimed one of tho New Yorkers. "Save nothing!" replied the former governor of Oklahoma In disgust, "the d d sissy falmed on the spot; and I says to Col. Wade: "I never took any stock In the yarns about dudes being heroes, and now I know I was right." If the Ilaby Is Cutting Teeth.

THE ACTOR: What shall I "Why, your vigular clothes, "But at present I'm wearing if ittft4HM ill FACTS AS TO BEDS. Nickel Frames Unpopnlar"Brnss Favorite MaterlaN-Bcda That Cost Thousands. From tho Sun. There was a time when the bedstead was a simple framework. Not so now. Since the medical f ratei nlty has declared that It Is cssentlnl for man to spend one-third ot his time sleeping the bed stead has come to be one of the com plexities of modern life. It has devel oped from a skeleton of plain wood or Iron Into a magnificent piece of furni ture, and people choose their bedsteads with care and thought. Nickel bed steads are the newest. They are seen at places where large assortments of metal bed frames are kept. The nickel bedstead has proved a poor seller, for It Is too cold In appearance to help fur nish a room. The average purchaser looks at a bedstead from two view points before buying, the utilitarian and the ornamental, and really the lat ter Is often considered llrst. Since the bedstead Is the largest piece of furni ture In a room, It naturally has Impor tant work to do In giving the room a furnished appearance. The nickel bed frame almost chills one to the mar row to enter a room on a cold day and see a great silver bedstead staring one In the face. "Nickel bedsteads," said a dealer, "are lit only for one thing that Is, to furnish summer houses. About a year ago Italy sent an Importation of bed frames made of German silver to this country, and American manufacturers got the Idea of llnlshlng metal beds in nickel. Sliver Is the coldest metal we have; so naturally the German sil ver beds were hard stock, and so, too, those of nickel have proved. While they are made on the models ot the brass bedstead, they have nn unfinished appearance, and no amount of twists, curves anr carvings can do away with this. A bedroom used only In summer, hung In pale blue or gray paper, with matting on the floor, looks very Invit ing on a hot day with a nickel bed stead, but actually It almost makes one shiver to show one now. These frames vary In price from $10 to $C0, but they will never come much Into vogue. "Brass Is the thing to get If one Is buying a metal bed. It Is rich and warm In appearance, and one does not tire of It. The pattern differs little from year to year, but each season finds the finish more perfect. A few years back New York people wouldn't have a brass bed frame that didn't come from England, Now they prefer those made In America, for our manu facturers can't bo excelled the world over In this work. Compare a brass bed frame of English with one of Amer ican make, and even a non-expert can see how much more finished looking the latter Is. "Twin beds In metal or wood are the popular thing nowadays. The frames are as alike as two peas In a pod, and appear to be one bed when pushed to gether. If one of two people occupy ing the same bed happens to be rest less the twin bed can be shoved over to the other side of the room. Women who have snoring husbands pronounce the twin frame a godsend. The best brass bedsteads are not made of solid brass, as is commonly supposed. They have Iron supports running through each separate rod, and this gives the frame rigidity, which is an essential point, and also stability. Solid brass frames give with every movement and are easily bent. "An odd design has a low foot, though high ones are most used now, and a high head. Of course it, like all others, is made by hand and has a great deal of scroll work. Another rather new one Is the balcony bed. The rods at the foot curve out and remind one of tho Iron bars before bank windows. This is a favorite with very tall men, for It gives them ten or twelve extra inches in length. The price la $100. and we have some as high as $500. A brass frame seldom costs more than that. It's queer how dealers learn to read people's character by the bedsteads they buy. People of refinement and good taste get perfectly plain brass frames, while the new rich go in for the bedsteads of most fancy design. Then we never fail to find out whether a person has an artistic temperament or not. Nickel bed frames will never oust those made of brass even if the latter are hard to keep clean In one sense." "No metal bedstead can be made so handsome as some wooden ones. Neither can It give such an air of com fort to a room, "Theie is nothing like a mahogany bedstead to give an air of solid com fort to a sleeping apartment," declares an authority on this subject. "It can not be said that one wood Is more popular than another, for thnt Is a matter of taste; but many Immensely wealthy people who are furnishing new homes these days are partial to this bedstead. It Is Louis XV style, and made of solid mahogany. "U nat could be more graceful than those curved lines? It has Vernis-Martlu panels, ornamented with Cupids paint ed in gold at head and foot, and the carving could hardly be surpassed. The price Is $500. The next Louis changed the style of bedsteads during his reign, along with a good many other things, nnd may prefer his fancy. It Is very effective In light wood, with a canopy to match, lined with some pale-colored brocade. Here Is one of blrdseye maple ornamented with hand-carved gar lands that look almost as If one could wear In tho snow scene ? of course." my last year's summer suit. " LJfe.

This pair of twin beds Is mndo of the latter, and Is Inlaid with mother of pearl, copper, silver, nnd brass. The carving Is In tho style of tho Italian Renaissance, and the price Is $1,000, though this style can be made to cost several thousands. Frames made of sntlnwood, and Inlaid In the same way, are much used by swell people. "When made of wood twin beds arc often joined nt the head and foot, nnd yet are distinct. This bedstead Is made In that style. It has been hero many years, and every rlen man who fur nishes n new house looks and looks at i It as If fascinated, but buys something else. It Is made of mahogany, and thu carving on It Is wonderful. Figures support tho head, and the panels are alive with carved Cupids. This frame looks as If It might have a history, but It hasn't, and any one who Is willing to put up $1,':C0 for It can' have It. That's the reason we've had It a long while? Nonsense! Some people think nothing of paying $3,000 for a bedstead. I'll show you one at that price now, and theie Is not a handsomer one In this city. It Is a Louis XV frame, made of cherry wood enamelled, The panel at the head Is painted with a Cupid design, nnd the one at the foot represents A'enus and Vulcan. The headboard underneath the panel Is up holstered and tufted in pink brocade damask, which harmonizes with the painting above. The price is $8,000. "America excels In making magnifi cent bedsteads. Many people who have an Idea that everything can be made better and more beautiful on the other side than at home can hardly believe it when they learn that all of these bod frames arc made right In this city. Hundreds of men are kept busy doing the carving, painting and Inlaid work that are now predominating features." WHKKE, INDEED. Prom the 1'hlhidelphia Times. Kute teaches strange lessons In thu mutations of American politics. Senator Penrose would have been unthought of for the United States senutorshlp at thld time but for his perfidious betiayul and defeat for the nomination for mayor two yeats ago. He had been recommended for the chief magistracy of the city in the editorial columns of every dally news paper of Philadelphia, and a man who could command such a tribute from jour nals of every faith and Inclination should have been Invincible against the shafts of malice; but perfidious leaders who hated hlni for his Integrity, with words of friendship for his ears while aiming the dagger at his heart, lnveiite.1 t In most malicious and bewildering calum nies, which misled many good citizens lino distrust of his personal character, and under that distrust he was betrayed a Mil crucified by the very political leaders who had called him to the field as the most available candidate for mayor. It was the blow of the malignant scandal-monger thut overthrew him In that contest; the recoil has. made him United States sena tor. That Senator Penrose largely profited by the attempts to defame him through out the state after the detainers In his own Immediate vicinity had long been silenced, cannot be doubted by any who dispassionately reviews the exceptionally bitter contest that has just closed. The sentiment of fairness and manliness is masterful In tho minds of the American people, and in no state Is It more potent than among the Intelligent, falr-mlnded people of Pennsylvania. Seeing that every legislator In the senatorial district In which he and his chief competitor both reside, with two-thirds of the senators and a majority of the representatives of the entire city, rallied to his support for senator, all the efforts to defame him simply Intensified his friends and qulcK ened every attribute of manliness In sym pathy with him. While he possesses 'lie ability and the character to make a for midable candidate for United States sen ator under any conditions, It is certainly true that tho Inexorable laws of fate, which hold retributive justice as their chief weapon, have made Boies Penrose the new United States senator from Penn sylvania. Where now are his detainers? THE JIOST COMTliKTH OXK. From the PItlston Gazette.
