N view of the fact that there mo
but two living diameters In this
hrlof nnrrntlve, It will not be nec
essary to use names. One other
diameter a dead person enters
Into the lecltal, and she, too, may be
without n name.
It was nearly two voais after this
woman's death that Ho and She, the
living prlnclpilH of this tale, were mar.
rlcd. The dead woman had been his
wife and She had known her for yeas
Indeed, the two women had been
schoolmates togother.and after the flist
wife's death She was the (list to go to
him with a consolation that brought
bui cease In that moment of heart-torn
grief, when the future seemoh to hold
nothing for him For a good many
weeks the two weie seen together oc
casionally. She felt tint the death of
her most intimate friend made It duty
to show small attentions to the bereft
husband, and once In awhile the little
deserted homo was brMitonrd Iv u
bunch of flowers tMt came fih from
the hands of her dilntv garden back
of the old-fashioned house. Just a few
tods down the lane
All at once, Just at a moment when
his friends were wondering that a hus
band's grief could be so deep and last
ing, lie began to go down the country
way between the two houses and spend
an hour on the broad bark porch that
faced the garden of old-fashioned roses
that were caied for thioug'i the conl
of the morning and evening by the
quiet folk who had been so much to
him In his time of gilef There was
comfort here and remembrance, and
sometimes ieniembrnnc Is mt.so bit
ter when there Is a faint gleam bf hope
with It.
That was what He thought as he
grew fond of le.mlng back In the e isy,
split bottom chair of that simple homo
one evening after another, until, at
li ngth, "the folk." beg in to go In'o
the house earlier than thev did at ilrt,
leivlng htm out theie alone with her.
Neither spoke of tlje dead woman for
a good many weeks. Then, one night,
after they had come back from a long
stroll, when He had ald one or two
things that She seemed surprised to
hear. She said just before the parting:
"If you don't mind tomonow we
you and I will go up theie to the
cemeteij, jou know, and put
some
flowers on on her grave."
He gac a little start, bowed his
head, and said nothing. She e"t on:
"It has been a year a year tomor
row, and I think "
He put out his hand, and turned his
head away. She stopped, and, after an
n'vkvvaid hesitation, he said, In a
broken way:
"Yes 1 had forgotten. We will go
tomonow "
That mght, hitting with the deid
woman's plctuio In front of him, he
thought It all over. He thought of the
thuii'.arl qualities of heait and mind
that had made the. wife of his vouth
the wife of his fancy -his eiy life and
soul. He closed his ej es and felt her
presence and heard her sneech and,
putting out his hand, hers seemed to
rest within his own broad, willing palm
Tor a long time houis, perhaps he
sit theie, and then, when he got up
fiom his chair, he paw, by a stiange
chance, a picture of the other woman
In another pait of the room. As he
looked, the dead face sef"i"d to ciy out
to him By degrees, he took couiage,
and, picking up the two photogiaphs,
he laid them hide by shk Onlj for a
moment he looked Then, with an Im
precat.on, he giasped the portrait of
the 1I ng won in and tore It Into bits
that weie Hung Into the black, unused
fireplace.
"She bhall not go with mo tomcr.
row !" he exclaimed, and the empty
room echoed the word" back to him so
strangclj that he started. "It is my
grief not hers my lemembrance not
hers," he ciled, and again the walls re
peated his words.
But the moinlng raiely keeps the
I ledges of the night. When he aiose,
after a biiof, but lefreshlng, slcen
the sun filled the loom. Tin- lirst
thing that exught his eyen wis the
photograph of the dead wonfun, and
then he remembered. He lold nv r
Into the fireplace, and haw the bi-s of
paper that were onc her pl i.ite.
"I was foolish," he said, blow y slow
ly, and then, befoie li wsln. ' wvit
over and plcued up nil of the bits, and.
sitting down, he did not move until
they were together again pasted on
a sheet of caidboard Aftei the mu
cilage was dry, he took the j'ned
photogiaph and put It In the pocket of
aooD Tiwsas to hat.

one of his coats next to his heart.
It was late that afternoon when he
nnd she came back from the little
country cemetery, walking slowly and
In silence. They had found tho gravu
of the wife and friend ulready mo'J
beuutlful than artlllco could mnkc it,
for nature had not been neglectful,
nnd It setmed that over this mounJ,
of all othuis, her gifts were scatteied
with lavish hand. So the llt.'o bunch
es of plucked roses wero pi' about
I the headstone, und these two went
home to her home.
"Won't you come In?" she said
gently, as they 1 cached th front ot
the house. Tho man stood In silence.
The empty basnet dropped to his leet,
and he looked away from tho woman
who stood In fiont of hthi. Then,
moved by Impulse, he turned nnd
grasped her hand. In his. and held
then, in spite of a struggle that fol
lowed a slight noise from within the
house.
"I feel ejsier now," he Bald, "and I
want ou to forgive me. Some dav I
am coming here six montiu fiom
liow, pel haps, ind isk "-u n be mv
wife to take her plate In my lonely
heart. May 1?"
She had been expecting such a
question, but not In couple with such
a confession. She was dazed by It
all, and the only thing she could do
was to follow him to the door, and as
ho pressed her foi an auswei, say yes,
with her lips, while her heart said no
"Bless you," the man murmured.
"You have made me very happy.
Goodbye."
It was a ear and a week from this
day that ho and she stood before the
minister of their church. It was call
ed n good match In the town They
had known each other for such a long
time that It did not seem poFlble
that there could be a mistake. After
the little dinner to a few fi lends, the
two went away on a little journey to
the city as light of heart as if neith
er had never mot more than a school
boy sorrow.
In less than a month the long ne
glected home at the other end of the
lane had taken on a new appearance.
There were flowers about the place
again, and a late vine was on Its way
above the door that for two seasons
! had felt the unbroken rays of the
summer sun. People noticed, as peo
ple will, that he had taken on a con-
i tented appeal ance. "How soon we
1 are forgotten." chattered an old gos
sip, and others echoed it as they
talked of tho happy pair. One dny,
sl months after the wedding, she
chanced to rend a poem that brought
a new and unsuspected terror to her
heart. These wero the stanzas:
What, though fclio lltth mute on yonder
hill?
Though Ivy green ai.d phovvy eglantero
Have hold In loving fcld. tlnough many
a vtir.
Her nulct grave, I fear her I fear her
still.
Ho loved her once. Ay, though ho hold
mo fast
And sear my lips with kisses burning
swe t.
No touch of mlno may make his lire
replete,
Vor man's first love Is oftentimes his
last.
The seedn of suspicion grow in shal
low soil. Trom this chance poem one
after anothe" circumstance came back
to tho suddonlv Inflamed mind until a
tonent of terrible thought drove the
young wife almost to desperation.
Then she became calmer, nnd proceed
ing on a foundation that had not a
fact In Its stiuctuie, she deliberately
planned to test her husband's devotion.
That evening when she met him at the
gate with a kiss that he always said
war tho subject of all bis day-time
thinking, she was so quiet that he
asked, as they walked arm In arm to
egthcr up the cinder, rosc-llned path,
If anything had gone wrong.
"No," the nnswered, softly, "but I've
been thinking of something seilous."
"Whether your preserves will turn
, out right9" he laushed.
Tho look that he gave in response
was sobering. "Nothing like that," she
went on, calmly "It's about about
her."
She watched for some effect, and she
saw It. He started and paled.
"Why, dearest, what what "
"I have only been thinking," she said,
"that we should not foiget forget her
so; that we should go up up there,
like we did once before." -""
"Together?" ho asked.
"Yes. Why not?"
"Why. I don't know," he said, "but It
poems strange, somehow I don't know
Just why: but let's not go together."
"I wonder when he goes'" she
thought that night as she prepared to
retire Surely she knew how all of his
time had been spent, but plie must have
been deceived. In this state of mind
she- fell asleep. When she awoke the
first light of tho murnlng was creeping
through the vlne-rovercd windows. She
instantly lemembered the ,. horrible
events of tho night before, but now
they did not seem so bad. She would
wake him with a kiss and confess her
mind, just ns he had done Jong before.
Then she went to his room. It was de-
sertcd. She looked hurriedly about tho
house. Ho was not there. The truth
I came to her In an Instant. Sho was
surprised that he rould have gotten
away on other mornings and back again
.without her knowledge. She wondered
, too, as fhe slinned Into her Ilcht wmn
' nnd hat that th neighbors had not
obseived and whispered it to her. In
such n state of mind she bun led along
, the lane, not speaking to the sutprlsi
i vlllageis, who started after hor as she
went on up tho hill In the direction of
tho graveyard. When, at length, she
got to the stile over which peoplo
usually passed, sho concluded that ho
might see her as she reached the top,
So she went atound to a place whore
the fenco was old n"d broken. Here
she could get through, sho thought, un
observed. Passing through tho weeds
nnd tall grass Just on the outside of
the cemetery, she caught sight ot a
figure over on the other side of tho
graveyard. It was hor husband. In
her excitement she had miscalculated
her position, and here, on the street
side of the fence, she could see the
neglected grave. He stood by It with
his hands clasped back of him. A
bunch of flowers rested on the head
stone, and thoro seemed to be many
bautlful ones gi owing nil over tho
mound. While sho watched, he fell on
hla knpes, nnd, clasping his hand In
front of his face, he remained motion
less for a minute or two. Then ho got
up and walked in the direction of the
stile. Tho woman crouched low In the
grass and waited until her husband
had passed down tho road and out of
view.
Tho man felt bettor for his morning's
experience. Ho felt that he had done
nothing wrong, and that he had re
paired a neglect. Singularly enough,
nature had kept up her kind ministra
tions, and the grave was as well tend
ed as It had been nearly two years be
fore. The husband thought that ho had
felt his last doubt that the living wo
man was as much to him now as the
first had ever been, nnd that his con
science would never again allow a di
vision of his consideration. Ho was,
Indeed a happy man, as he walked into
bis own open doorway nnd called cheer
fully for the wife of his home. He
looked through tho house, Into tho yard
and up and down tho roadwny.
I "It's funny," bethought, "She doesn't
i often go out so early In the motnlng."
I As he stod at the gate one of the
neighbors called to him:
"Your folks nro up early. Nothtn'
wrong, I hope "
"Nothing at all."
"Didn't know but what you was sick.
Saw vour w 'o goln up. toward tho
folks Just now."
The man at tho gate didn't hear any
thing more. He was thinking. It was
strange that he had not passed her.
He thought of the night before, and as
the events of the evening passed
through his mind he went back to tho
house for his hat. He picked It up
from a table In one of the rooms, and
as he did so a bit of paper fluttered to
the floor Hut It was only a newspaper
clipping of verses nnd he tosod It back
and hurried out nnd on up tho hill In
the dlieetlon of his wife's home. As he
pioceeded he saw a crowd on ahead at
the cemeteiy, and men were hurrying
to and fro in such nn unusual wny for i
that quiet place. Ho kept on. Pretty j
soon a man came up to him, nnd, put
ting his hand on his shoulder, sail:
"It's aw ful," and another and another
had Joined him, until he was the center
of a crowd, all moving to tho little
cemetery.
He found her there, lying across the
flower-decked mound, with a small
pistol that he had given to her clasped
in her right hand, and on her temple
there was a small red spot He stag
gered over to the form of the woman
and put his arm about It.
The constable staited to take him
nway, because the coroner had not
come, but the ciowd kept the ofllclal
back, for who had a better right than
he to touch tho dead? The man grasped
the small white hand that held the pis
tol and gently loosened the flngeis that
clung to It. Then, In nn Instant, and
before anybody realized what ho was
about, ho put the muzzle to his own
foiehead, and, the coioner, when he
came, prepared a verdict In two case3

ity." by John M. Evans, ot North

follows:
CREATURE OF GROWTH.
"Man Is a creature of grow th. Under
favorable circumstances, he may grow
and ndvance forever. As a creature ot
grow th, his end 13 symmetry of being.
To realise this, there must bo a per
fection of parts. These paits may bo
designated as the factors of man's abil
ity Tho truest co-secration of this
ability would consist of these factors
The best.method then Is tho unfolding
of one's self Into these haimonlous
blending of powers.
"To realize this Derfectlon of parts,
man must have the right Ideals and ba
governed bv healthv principles. The
best supplement to any Ideal is a title
pystem of education. Tho truest con
secration of ability Is Its perpetual In
crease for the highest alms in life. And
further. It Is the giving of the nctunl
self to attain tho Ideal self. It Is not
sacrifice, but devotion, and the object
then Is better personalities In better
society. The advance of Roclety Is the
Increasing liberty nnd power of tho In
dividual, and therefore a more varied
and richer life for nil."
Tho closing feature of tho afternoon
was an address on the work of the
national convention at Richmond. The
delegates were entertained at supper In
the church by the members of the
Welsh Raptlst society.
Tho ev enlng session becan at 7 o'cl -c'c
with a song service nnd devotions, led
by President Edwards, nnd tho Junior
society of the West Scranton chuich
pang two selections. Miss Margaret
Vaughn, of Ashland, gavo an ad
dress on "Clulstlan Stewardship." Sho
spoke, In part, ns follows:
"Wo arc told thcro are a great manv
chanres In tho world of religious
thought, but Jesus has not changed,
nnd what wo need Is to keep closer to
Him. We are all stewards, and God Is
our master. He has committed unto
us His goods and they should be used
In His service We are all held ac
countable for nil He has given us and
some day wo will bo asked to give an
account of our actions.
THE FAITHFUL STEWARD.
"Tho faithful steward of God is he
who does his bidding In tho right way,
and uses his moncv, time nnd talents
as tho Master would havo hlrn. It la
required of a stewnrd that he bo found
faithful, and lot us bo faithful and uso
our talents as Ged would have us uso
them Thero are many opportunities
for doing good nnd wo nil have a grant
account to render: lot us sunb Ood

PIANO
BY
THE REASON WHY we are the agents for MA
SON & HAMLIN Pianos and Organs is because
we honestly believe them to be the very best in
the world. We know that not one purchaser of one of these
instruments will ever become dissatisfied with it, but on the
other hand will be pleased, and will tell their neighbors and
fi tends so, theieby making more customers for us and the
MASON & HAMLIN instruments.
Ma
Pianos are beautiful in tone, beautiful in design, and
beautiful in finish. External beauty should be considered in
everything, and these Pianos possess it in a high degtee.
Of the merit of these
PIANOS
It seems superfluous to speak.
Critics and musicians everywhere
praise them. Yet though this
praise is valued, the piano them
selves are the irost convincing of
all testimony to their superlative
excellence.

All Good
Church Goers
Rightly demand that everything
connected with the service should be of
the best. It is not fitting that the mind
should be distracted Irom higher things
by poor music, as is olten the case. To
have good music you must have a good
instrument, and there is none so good as
a MASON & HAMLIN Organ. These
organs are unequaled and worid-famed.
