A
Lucky
Disappointment,
"I shall Ioe her whllo 1 live ' nuld
handsome Krnest Uronn to his old
friend, Tom Hounrd, us they Bit smok
ing and chnttlnp together on the ptons
nnt veranda of Hot-l Pleasant View.
"I shall lose hor while 1 llvi. Tom,
though I may necr see her lovely
fnro ucaln."
"Ah, yen, lirown," eilered Jolly
Tom In his roguish, good-natured way,
"so I hear, but the nil-Important point
for consideration Is- Does she love
you, my hoy Theio'u the ltih" Tho
question befoio the house ! Voth
she reclpiocatc'"
Uronn reflected a moment, trured va
cantly niro'i thn beautiful stretch ot
silver wuteis known ns Ctstal Lake,
that lay kissing the white-pebbled
beach, a hundred yards away, and re
plied "I think she cloeH."
"Uut you're not certain"" ifrgestod
Tom, lnterrogitlsely.
"Why, no; of comae not," Kinest
admitted.
"Well, then, Hurt's lots of room and
probably plentv of icnsoii for honest
doubt In tho matter," ns Tom's solac
ing observation.
Ktnest glaied at his filend repioach
fully "How clever and Mircnstlo you are
growing, Tom, and how sympathetic
jou are becoming," ho retorted, diyly.
"Neither closer nor artastlc," cor
lected Howaid, "simply honest and
alive, ag of old."
Hrnest was silent "Am I net llsbt?"
asked Tom.
"Quite likely ou are," ald lhnest,
"hut von'd talk dlffeiently if you were
In my position."
"Of com ho ; most a.stnedl," nn
swered llowaul, smiling,
short silence followed. Howaid
sat abstractedly watching the snowy
sails of a llttlo yacht that was gliding
slowly n'eng oci the ttaiKiull bosom
of the liquid plain, In the shadows o
the plcturec.-uip hlllslopes on the lake's
further shoie, but his actual thoughts
wore dlsided between the lnsestmont
of his next seal's income and Ills
friend's lose affair. I.rnest, bosses or,
was thinking j-olely of tho hitter shen
his reverie van suddenly broken by
Howaid, ssho liKiulred, half tea singly
"Is the lady ot your heart's dreams
pretty, my boy.'"
"Not pretty, Tom, but beautiful,"
T.rnest leplled, "nnd as innocent and
captivating In her glrlliko simplicity
as a llttlo fairy."
"Whew"' whistled Tom, "had 'soul
ful eyes ' too I reckon."
"As 'soulful' as any I have seen,"
retorted 1'rnest.
And dimpled hands, led lips, losy
I cheeks, a. fine flguie, graceful ssalk,
billow b of goldeu-lnossn tresses, peaily
teeth, a soft soii-e and an angel's dis
position have I omitted anything,"
In short, the regulation, patented, sclf-ss-oiking,
Impossible piece ot sweet
heart mach'nery set up by nestling
voets and out-of date novelists?"
"Theie, nos, Tom," said llrnest, "let
mo hase a chance to talk a bit. I love
a cultured, ilesh-and-blood ssoman,
i whose faults If he has any ate hid
den by s Irtues big and s hlte enough
to make 'me, at least, los e her through
a lifetime, If I can only ssln her."
"And jou met her here, did you?"
said Tom.
"Yes, hero on thll ery veranda,
two summers ago, losed the delightful
little cieaturo and ssas determined to
win her the moment I beheld her, and
she seemed to fancy me Wo tpent
many happy hours together In bweot
companionship, like twin touls that sse
were But at last sse parted, owing
tender vosss of sacred friendship we
sveie too earnest and nrudent to do
more and she parsed out of my life
like a lloating shadosv. Seek as I -will
I can get no tiace of her. I slhit this
placo eseiy summer In the almost 'sain
hope that some mjstlo posver In the sa
cred longing of soul for soul sslll again
diasv us together, here s hence llrst sve
met. But If sse are doomed nes'ermore
to meet I shall cairy the Image of her
fair, sweet face In my heart till I
die."
"Say, jou ought to take something
for that; you're bud olt," said Tom;
"I'd bo scared If I ssas In your fix.
Hase you consulted a phslclan?"
"No, but I hope some day to send
ou to a niliilbter for me," said Hrnest
laughing.
' Oh, you do, do you?" was Tom's
obsersatlon, "not content svith doing
bad, ou deslie to do worse In shoit,
ou vlsh to Ilop out of the frlng-pan
Into tin rue and ssant mo to assist you
in making the tranpit," laughed inls
chlevlous Tom "Just fancy me In the
role of a matrimonial assistant1"
You look able to act tho part."
"Thank you, my boy; but, bay,
Brown, hosv did you get yourself Into
audi a IK? 1 sant you to tell me, bo
that I can point out your ease us a
'horrible example' to other young
men."
"Well, said Ernest, "it's not a long
story and I don't mind telling It."
"Glad the agony's short," Interrupt
ed Howard. "I ssas afiald ou wtre
going to glse It to me In spasms, on
tho installment plan."
Ernest brutlicd the ashes off his
cigar, leaned forward In his chair and
began:
"Well, tho mitter Is just this: You
Unosv I was left an orphan at 13, that
your honored father, he's my guaidlan,
handed a Bnug fortune over to me
when 1 attained my majority two yeais
ago. You alto knosv that I immediate
ly Invested several thousand dollars !n
jour father's profitable business and
that, having some propeity In this
neighborhood, which I had never seen,
I decided to couple business and pleas
ure by spending my summer vacation
at this chaimliig resort. You will re
member that I came alone, as you
had accepted nn Invitation to summer
at the seashore. Of couise you tried
to coax mo to accompany you, but my
business Inteiests In this locality de
manded my Immediate personal atten
tion. So, putting usldo the pleasure of
our companionship, I came hero c! .u.
This brings me to my story proper."
"That's the Introduction, sou mean,"
said Tom. "Now follows,' chapter I.,
to be continued In our next.' "
Ernest threw assay his cigar and
continued:
"Thn very day of my arrival I met
Dora Moore. I ssas sitting on the ver
anda here, enjoying the cool breeze
'and the fine scenery svhen a lovely llt
tlo fairy In dainty summer attire flut
tered softly past me, like an escaped
pet bltd, bestowing on mo one short,
coy glance, from eyes as melting and
tender as a fondled gazelle's."
"llngan casting 'pretty eyes' nt you
right away, did she?"
No, not a bit of It, Hosvuid. In tho
words of dear old Goldsmith, It svas:
" 'The bashful maiden's side-long
looks of love'; not a summer girl's flir
tation." "Hosv do you know that?' demanded
Tom.
"1 found It so ssheu se became ac
utlalntcd." "And when did that happen?"
"Half an hour after our eves first
met. The landlord svas showing a
paity of boarders about the country,
and Miss Moore and I ssere In the
paity, and of course mine host lntio
duced us to each other and to tho
other guests as sscll. In the course of
tho tiip Miss Moore and I conversed
enough to discover a slmlllarlty of
tastes and sympathies, and of course
after that sse soon became friends."
' Then, I suppose," continued Tom
How aid, "It naturally followed that
both of you gushing young things fell
head oscr heels In lose, nnd that orjp
wa afraid to tell It and the other
'darsent,' until finally the Kill got dis
gusted nnd skipped out for home. Am
t Hghf"
"Well, nlmost, but not eactlj."
"lifg pardon, Brossn," said logulsh
Tom, ' I purpose I left out the most
important thing, to you; sucli as tho
tiolls you took beneath the silent, sil
ser moon and stars, svhlsperlng 'ssvect
nothings,' hand In hand, your delight
ful tete-u-tetes on this seianda, your
rambllngs o'er the 'vine-clad hills' that
border this 'sweet valley;' your sails
on yonder 'silver lily pond,' your strolls
upon Its beach, besides tho 'talking
ssnves;' your tongs, dances and reci
tals and chats about favorite authcrs,
and plans to reform, the 'sslckcd svorld'
until It all ended In a 'cruel sever
ance' a nnklug of heart from heart
and a return to something nearer your
normal condition Am I right?"
"Yes, If slnceilty of spirit bo discov
ered under jour guise of humor," said
Ei nest.
"Well, nosv, be frank," said Tom,
"sshj' did you love the lady?"
"Because I could not help myself.
Phe seemed like my better self, moro
gentle and refined."
"Was she big or little, or fat or
slim?"
"She ss-as small and prettily formed."
"And babyish, of course?"
"Yes, at tlme; but she ssas a woman
of excellent mind and firmness of
character."
' Could say no In a dozen different
ssnsB and still stick to It, could fche?"
"I never asked her, Tom."
' Didn't ask? Sasv you had no
chance and had sense enough to escape-the
humiliation of a lefusal, did
sou?"
"It ssasn't that, Tom"
"Then sshat ssas It? Did she hava
too manj- other fellosss, nnd were j'ou
jealous?" '
"No, she gase herself quite up to
mo "
"Just lacked the natural gift to
speak, then, did you?"
"Not much! Did I eser l of use to
fight you, Tom, sshen sse svero boys?"
"Can't bay's you did; but sshat deter
red jou, anyway?"
"Well, it ssas Just this," said Ernest,
as he "hitched" his chair up closer to
hi3 friend's. "She ssas a plucky little
school teacher, btrising hard to edu
cate her younger brother and to sup
port herself and mother. The boy ssas
attending the little academy In -which
Dora taught, and tho mother lived on
a small but badly mortgaged farm
somesvhere down in Indiana. The
place was the old homestead left by
Doia's father, nnd the biave girl was
tijlng to redeem it and at the same
timo care for her mother and help her
brother along in school. Of course,
being well-to-do, I ssould have gladly
shouldered all her little burdens, but
as soon as she learned that I ssas the
possessor of a little of this world's
goods she made me understand that
she pieferred to meet her osvn respon
sloilitles unaided.
"This, of course, shut off all possi
bility of my proposing marriage to
her, although I loved her and she knew
It, and I fell that sho loved mo. Still,
her conduct townrd me did not change.
It could not, for hor every look and
action betrayed the secret of hr heart
and assured me that this beauteous
woman loseu mo as tendcily as I losed
her. It waa plain that sho svas sac
rificing heiself for others Tho two
sseeks she was spending at Hotel Pleas
ant VIesv was the only vacation she
had felt able to enjoy since tho death
of her father, three years before. C.lad
ly would I base taken her to my heart
and made a little home nest for both
of us and shouldered her responsibili
ties. Several times I actually ap
pioachcd tho point of pioposal, but
she always avoided coming to tho point
so gcntlj-, yet firmly, that I soon sasv
she did not wish to pain me with a
refusal. So I gase up in despair, cut
shoit my vacation and toio myself
awav."
"Yes, she j,ald good-bye sslth tears
in her eyes, and I believe I could have
kissed her then without the least op
position on hor part."
"Why didn't you""
"Because I ssas not brute enough to
take advantage of that tender soul
in an unguarded moment."
But what became of tho lady?"
n i nosv. xom; I've never been
able to get track of her ever since and
ssould go across the earth for a touch
of her hand."
"Oh, you poor, poetic fellow! Hosv

"And svhat did you do then?"
"I repeated tho proceas until tho

Hello! What's this? a telegram?" '
A boy approached and handed him
a message. He opened It and read as
follows:
"Chicago, Iil.-To Thomas Howard,
Crystal Lake: Company with $500,000
capital being formed to develop recent
gas and oil discoveries In Indiana,
nich field. Absolutely safe, Have
taken $50,000 worth of stock nnd can
hoid $1U,00j each for you nnd Ernest.
If satisfactory, both ot you como to
Chicago nt once to sign papers nnd
close deal.
"JOHN C. liOWAUD."
"Well, It must bo a suro thing or fa
ther wouldn't touch It," svaa Tom's
eager comment. "I'm In for It and oft
on the afternoon boat. Aro you sslth
me if
"Yes We have about forty minutes
to pack tip and catch the boat. I guess
1 hase time to drop In at that Jeweler's
down yonder by tho railroad station
and get my ring. I broke It rowing
tho other daj"
Half nn hour later tho triumphant
Tom laughed back from the promenado
deck of tho departing steamer, as his
exasperated friend stood on tho dock,
luggage In hand, shouting franctlcally
to the captain to let him aboard.
'Till see you In the sweet by and by,
Ernest!" ho cried.
"Oh, I'll be over on tomorrow's
boat!'
"Yes, but that stock'll all be taken
then, my boy," nnssvered Hossard, ns
the boat moved off In earnest;
"I'll Just go past and leave 'my best
regards and rarest compliments sslth
that Jesveler, anyway," thought Ern
est, ns he turned his tired footsteps In
disappointment tosvard the little shop
near the weather-beaten depot. Near
tho door of the jeweler's he paused A
ssornan'fl gentle hnnd had touched his
arm lightly and her glad ct pleading
eyes svero looking tenderly up to his,
and In tho softest, ssveotest voice sho
was saying:
"Oh, Mr. Brosvn, how delighted I am
to see youl" Befoio him stood Doia
Moore, lovelier, It seemed, than ever.
'i-on't. jou lemember mo, Mr.
Brown?" sho asked, smilingly. "Ah!"
sho added, toaslnglj-, "I thought jou
ssould. Mamma," she said, turning to
the pleasant-facea, sshlto-halred lady
beside her, "this Is Mr. Brosvn."
"Of sshom 1'se neaid jou speak,"
said Mis. Moore, sslth a quiet smile.
"We nio on our way to the hotel to
spend a month or so for mamma's
health," explained Doia.
On the svay to the hotel Ernest told
tho ladles hosv ho had missed his boat,
"because kind Prosldence had blessed
Crystal Eako sslth a snail-like Jesseler,
sshose worth ssus nosv Inestimable."
After supper, svhen Mrs. Moore had
retired to her room, Ernest and Dora
sat out on the veranda watching the
moonlit lake together, In almost the
ery spot -where first they met.
"Lot me tell you of our good fortune,
Mr. Brow n," she said. "Several oil and
gas ssells have been discovered on our
old homestead and svo have sold the
patt of the placo on which tho svells
are located to a u,g Chicago synuicate.
Besides, my brother svlll graduate next
j ear. Then ho and mamma, svho feels
that sho cannot part from the old
home, sslll keep house together."
"And sshat sslll you do?" asked Ern
est. "I hasen't decided yet"
"Dora, dearest one,' said Ernest, ten
derlj", "j-ou know I love j-ou have
los'ed j-ou all tho time and cannot live
sslthout j'ou; nosv that every barrier Is
swept assaj by nappy fortune, must
we wait longer for the fulfillment of
our sacred los'o?"
And Dora looked trustfully up and
placed her hands In his.

ROQUEFORT CHEESE.
Some of the Mysteries Connected
with Its Production.
Philadelphia Es-enlng Telegraph
Roquefort cheese, the delight of mod
ern epicures, Is made of a mixture ot
goat and sheep milk. Tho reputation
of this cheeo extends back Into dim
antlqultj', and Pliny mentioned It In
his ssrltlngs.
It Is made chiefly from the milk ot
Larznd goats and sheep, and In the
records In Trance It Is stated that, In
the j'ear 1SG6. 2:ii,000 sheep and goats
out of a flock of 400,000 gas-e enough
milk for the making of 7,130,000 pounds
of cheese.
In the manufacture of Roquefort
cheese, sajs an exchange, tho sheep
and goats an- milked In tho es'enlng,
after their return from the pastures,
and nfter thej- have been allosscd to
rest for an hour or so.
Tho csenlng's milk is heated almost
to the boiling point, and then is set
nside. In the morning it is skimmed,
heated to 33 degrees and mixed sslth
the' morning's milk for coagulation.
The curd Is ssell kneaded sslth tho
hands and pressed In layers Into molds
sslth perforated bottoms. A thin layer
of moldj biead is put bctssven each
laser of curd.
Tho obect of this Is to hasten tho
"ripening" of the cheese by supplying
the germ3 of the green mold peculiar
to cheese. Tho bread used for this
purpose Is made, before the pieccdlng
Christmas of about equal parts of
summer and s Inter barloj', with plenty
of sour dough, and some slnegar.
When moldy enough, It Is ground
and sifted, moistened sslth ssater, and
kept from the air until used In making
the cheese.
Tho curd remains In tho molds for
three or four days. Then thes" are
taken to tho market In Roquefort.
shcif thej nio sold to the different
makers of Roquefort cheese.
These manufacturers continue tho
ripening of tho cheeses by placing
them in the sen' damp cas-cs sshlch
abound In tho pieclpltous stalls of the
limestone hlll sshlch almost complete
ly sumnund tho village.
Tho cheeses aio left In tho caso3
sometimes more than a month, during
which time salt and brine are rubbed
Into them, nnd they are pilcked fre
quently sslth long needles to let the
salt penetinte into them, and also to
accelerate the process of molderlng.
