A SUMMER FLIRTATION.
rr mips vA5 c ncKtssos.
Lester Grejson rested lightly on
bis c', and the little boat drifted
Blowlj with the current. A einger'B
Toico came fl tinir on the air from
the open window of bouse fr down
the river bank, bearing on its tones
the old refrain
"It maj be for year?, and it may
be forever."
As the worda reached them Grey-
eoa leaned forward and tried to catch I
a fall look at Edith Arran's face, j
but Bhe was leaning over the boat ;
edge, looking down on the hand ehe
wg trailing in the moonlit water.
She gave no sign of having eo much
as heard the strain, not even when
ber companion caagLt op the air,
bumming the words in soft undertone
Failing in this attempt to win her
glance he spoke.
"That might be sung f jr me. My
pleasant summer is over To-morrow
I must part from my summer haunts
and friends in Tliverdale ; and, like
Kathleen's lover it may be for years,
and it may be forever. I must go off
to Italy and study my art in good
earnest. And if we do meet again I
sappose you will have been Mrs.
Gcrdon Vayland bo long tnat you
will have quite forgotton our summer
flirtation. But it has been so pleas
ait that I hope you will not If se me
whollr out of rour memory, Edith."
"It has been pleasant, as you say
One moat have amusement. Bat of
course I shall not forget you. I shall
eipect to bear of you through Italian
letters in the papers, first as a 'rising
young artist,' and afterwards as a fa
mous one. As for my being Mrs.
Gordon Wayland it is rather early to
decide that, if you please."
"Oh," he laughed, half bitterly;
"Gordon will be very glad to come
back to your feet, as soon as be has
the chance. Toor fellow 1 how he
elowers at me whenever we meet
He wouldn't be quite so disconsolate
if be bad chanced ta overhear yonr
little confidence to me in the early
summer, that you were only St far
rich man's wite, aad must fulfill your
destiny."
"Could I have done more wisely ?"
she retorted. If either you or I had
suffered your fancy for me to go
deeper than fancy you would hvj
been sorrr for it as soon as I. You
need either a wife with money
enough to make your way easy, or
one brave enough to bear hardships,
and be always ready to encourage
you in the struggle for fame and fort
une. e couldn't aflord to Tall in
love with each other. It is best for
us to part friends and fulfill our des-
t rues eeparately."
Lester urevson made no answer,
aad tbey fell into silence, drifting
dowly down the moonlit current.
Each was busy with thoughts of that
parting on the morrow, anJ of what
life for a time after might be to either
alone. Because for three months
back they had been constant compan
ions, and despite their early made
compact that nothing serious was to
be thought of between them, each had
found the summer strangely sweet,
as they wandered together throagb
woodland paths, or floated on the
river, or blended their voices while
Edith's skillful fingers strayed over
the ivory keys, and looking through
the vine-framed window they could
see the sunset transfigure earth and
Bky. Well it had been all a lovely
dream 1 bo each said silently. But
dreams cannot last forever, and when
waking hours come one cannot give
time even to cherish their pleasant
memory. 00 Lester Ureyson pre
pared lor bis voyage, deciding that
bard work would enable him to for
get Riverdale and Edith Arran. And
for Edith wby there was, as Grey
son had said truly, Gordon Way
land's devotion waiting as before.
Wby should it not suffice ber still J It
bad been ber passionate desire to be
freed from the vexations and morti
fications of trying to appear, on their
narrow income, to as great advant
age in Riverdale society as the
wealthiest there. Gordon Wayland
bad inherited the richest estate of
them all, and bis lovely home only
waited ber acceptance to haye all ber
wishes at ber command. She didn
dislike bim either, and ber pride was
pleased at holding bim bo completely
from all the other girls. Bet, despite
all this, a little voice whispering in
ber heart would not be quite silenced.
"How can I make op my mind to
marry him without at least one tiny
park of sentiment for bim f "
So, as at least, a putting off of the
day of decision, when Lester Grevson
came to board with ber mother, and
speedily showed himself charmed by
the daughter, she had chosen to let
his companionship and attention in
terpose between ber and Wayland
Uut, still deciding that wealth was
utterly needful to her happiness, she
had checked Grey son on the verge
of utterance of what wou!dbave been
words diQicuItto recall, and remand
ed their friendship to the vantage
gronnd of a flirtation thoroughly on
derstood by both to be cue that
should lead to nothing more.
Am I going to hold her up to virt
nous reprobation because of this
.Not at all. 1 here are some temper
aments anu dispositions that never
can be happy in what to them seems
poverty, no matter how many other
blessings are crowded upon them. If
a girl is of this kind why should she
marry a man without wealth to make
bim unhappy r If she is not, and
makes a mistake by acting as Edith
Arran did, ber lesson will probably
not neca, 10 aaa to us point, yonr
condemnation or mine,
iSo I have no comment to offer, be
cause, an hour later, Edith's clear so
prano failed to tremble on a sing!
note ol the pathetic ballad as she
sang to Lester "Anld Robin Grey,"
ana men, a moment later, trilled gal
ly forth in the brilliant cadences of
the Ardita waltz. 'or shall I add
any because, next morning, while the
sunrise ray lay level across the
dewy fields, after a laughing good
bye she looked with a calm, clear
glance after Lester Greyson'a re
treating form. She fell into a rev
erie over her sewing that day which
ended in the words, audibly spoken
as she put by the muslin dress she
had bein making ever for an evening
party, "An, wen: 1 might have fal
len in love with bim to an extent
which would have made me forget
everything for a little while, but Par
adise wouldn't have lasted long if I
bad to keep on turning and contriving
as I do now."
What Lester Greyson may have
thought as be looked back is" cot on
record. But in three days he was
hastening "to lands of snmmer across
the tea," resolved that art and fame
abould smile upon bim whether love
did bo or not.
Before those same three days were
over Edith very unexpectedly, and to
her great content, found "fields fresh
and pastures new" awaiting her. A
cousin of Mrs. Arran, whom Edith
bad rarely seen, wrote to the mother
askiog her to spare her diugbter for
a year.
The old cousinly feeling between
Mrs. Arrn and Mrs. WfSibrook bad
never died oat, although tbey rarely
met, and their lives had been passed
m totally diuerent surrounainirs
Mrs. We tbrook wrote that the last 1
r a J t . ? . J !
of ber own daughters were married,
and she would be very glad to give
her young cousin all the advantages
of society, music, kz., to be had in a
winter in the city, and then to take
her for a summer to the seaside.
"And who knows," Mrs. West-
brook wrote, "but that while she is
with us she may meet ber fairy
prince. I hone she has no: already
bound herself by any ties that may
prevent her coming."
1 shall mis you very mucn, b.iiu
Mrs. Arran when she had read the
letter to her dugbter, ' but I think
it right and Lest that you should
have the advantages cousin .Maria
offers. If we had to get yoa up a
costume fitted for the society
which you must constantly meet wiiq
her, of course it would be impossible.
But the delicate way in which she
adverts to that, and sys that if you
come yon must come as her own, is
exactly like her, and takes away the
difficulty. I am quite sure that you
cannot help being tond of her when
you know her, wholly apart trom an
that she offers you."
So it proved. Edith, quite ilhng
from more than one cause to evade
coming to any decision about Gordon
ayland, managed to avoid a&y pri
vate interview with him, and was
well pleased to hasten her departure
in compliance with ber ccuain's re
quest. Aad she could not neip at
leait a faint utile hope tnat tne iairy
prince might come in the city life
wita aa much money as lioraou ay-
land, and with attractions that would
enable ber to care as much for bim as
she might have done for Lester Grey
son. Ii is not needful to write the story
of that year in the ci-y aod by the
ca. Edith was pu .1 and piquent,
aad she bad her full bhare of beile
hood: and two or three eligible of
fers notwithstanding the fact that she
was known to be a penniless young
lady. But when it came to the point
of answer Edith could not make up
her mind that any one of her lovers
answered '.0 the ideal fairy prince,
and when the year was over, and
Mr, and M's. Westerook sailed for
Europe, Edith returned to Iliverdule,
to take up the problem of life where
she bad left it ; and not quite either,
for she had erown wiser the year she
had hpen awav : she knew more ot
life than when she went to the cuy,
,
and more of herself, too.
.1 kh went about ber borne du
ties, and helped in the planning aad
contriving to secure the greatest com
fort possible from their small means,
if with fewer of the old time bursts
of gaycty, certainly with even tem
pered Bweetnecs scarcely hers oe
lbre. And she bad made up her mind
about Gordon Wayland. .Not at all
as she had intended to do when she
sent away Lester Greyson, denjing
bis parting plea to be permitted oc
casionally to write. Gordon had
written repeatedly while sje was
away, bus she Had sent mm no an
swer. He was almost the first caller
after her return, for the old fascina
tion was strong upon him, and he
bad taken fresh courage from the
fact that she had come back tree.
But within a week be knew that be
could never win her.
1 never should haye let you hope
that I would Borne day be your wite:
only I thought for a time it might be
so. But 1 could never make your
happiness, Gordon, nor find my own
in the quiet, friendly feelings which
is all I have to give you. You de
serve as earnest a loue as any wife
can give to any husband, and you
will yet win it from some woman
worthier than I."
Against all of which he protested,
but went his way, perforce, for her
tone and name bad forbidden abso
lutely any further hope. He thought
life empty enough for a time, but
when the roses of the second June
thereafter blossomed there was proof
enough that that stage of experience
had gone by. t ayland Grange bad
a mistress very fair and young, but
Edith Arran still divided with the
bride the suffrages of Riverdale as to
grace and beauty
Those summer days also slipped
awar, and at last the full moon of
the early September made glorious
the gleaming river, the undulating
valley, the far off silvery hills. Edith
sat alone in the vine shaded parlor of
the little cottage, playing in dreamy
fashion tone alter tune, singing at
limes chance snatches of melody.
Some memory of an evening three
years gone by must have been with
her, for presently across the fra
grant night air her clear voice carried
the exquisite melody of Kathleen
Mavoureen, which she had listened
to with Lester Greyson as it died
across the water.
1'id he ever remember that even
ing, sue wondered, and the summer
that went before? Had be found
some one to make bim quite forget,
or was his whole soul wrapt in dreams
of art; for she bad beard of bim
time and again, as she had said, as a
"rising young artist." She knew
that bis pictures commanded not on
ly admiration, but money. She had
beard ot more than one on exhibition
in Sew York, and read the critics'
praises of the same. "Was she nurs
ing bis memory in any love sick fash
ion?" And always she aoswr-td,
"No!" only ebe could marry no tuan
who was not able to put the memo
ries of that summer wholly a ay,
and to vrin such love from her as she
could have given Lester Greyson.
Was it an echo of ber own mind?
"It has been for years, and I thought
ior a long time it would be forever,"
said an unforgotten voice from the
shadow of the doorway,
Edith rose to greet bim as if they
had parted but yesterday "Wben
did you come home ?" she" question
ed. "I do not know yet wLetberl have
come borne," be answered. "Last
week I reached New York. Yester
day I desired to pass a dsy in the
old familiar places, aod try whether
a sight of yoa in Wayland Grange
would not help me to break the sway
of the old dream, so that I might re
turn to Italy free. You were too
late that summer in telling me I
must not hold yon in my heart Yon
were there already, and you have
never left yonr place vacant"
He paused, but there came no an
iwer from voice or eyes. She could
not spetk with those- sudden waves
of deep feeling surging op in her
heart Lester took courage from the
yery silence.
"To-day I came to find another in
Wayland Grange, and to hear that
yoa were in the old home stilL A
eudden hope came to my heart, and
I determined at least not to go away
without testing it Will yoa tell me
whether I have come tome, Edith ?
J Will yoa be my wife ?"
Edith lifted her face in the moon
light, and straightway two hearts
went out together "in the new world
which ia the old." -
RiverdIe was a little eUctrified,
for "no one knew Edith Arran bad
been eugaged all this time, and waiV
iotr for Letter Greyson." So gossip
ioterprrted the matter, and the par

Before October came to transfigure
the hills wiih crimson and golden
splendors, there had been a quiet
wedding, and Edith, richer in love
than she had ever dreimed of being
in worldly possessions, bad gone
with ber artist husband to a home
across the sea. The "fairy prince"
had come, aid ai it is with the fairy
princes ever,
Beyond the nitf at, acros the day.

TLe Rev. Dr. Cbamberlaiu, in a
letter to the "American Missionary,"
from Mudnapilly, India, gives the
following singular experience be bad
with a balky horse :
Nineteen years ago, says the ven
erable divine, I bought in Madras a
peculiar kind of a horss. He had to
be wound up to rrake bim go. It
was not a machine, but a veritable
live borsr.
Wbeu breaking bim 10 go in the
carriage he bad been injured. An
accident occurred in starting him the
first time, and he was thrown and
hurt and frightened. It made bim
timid; afraid to start After be had
once started he would never balk.
Taken cut of the carriage, be would
start and stop and go cn as mauy
times as you pleased, but it was very
difficult to start first each time he
was harnessed to the carriage.
He was all rigot under the saddle,
an excellent riding hore, aud would
carry me long du-tances in my dis
trict work, so that I did not wish to
dispose of bim ; but I could not af
ford to keep two; whatever I had
must go in a carnage as well as noe,
ad I determined that I would con-
ilow 1 have woiRea over mat
horse 1 At first it sometimes took me
an hour to get him started from my
door. At last, after tryitg every
thing I bad ever beard of, I hit upon
an expedient that worked.
I took a strong bamboo buck two
feet loDg and over an inch thick.
A 6tout cord loop was passed through
a bele two inches from its end This
loop we would slip over bis left ear
down to the roots, and taro the
stick round and round and twist it
P .. .
It is said that a horse can retain
but one idea at a time in us small
brain. Soon the twisting would be
gin to hurt. His attention would be
abstracted to the pain in bis ear. He
would forget all about a carnage be-
. .. i jj 1 :
ing hitched to mm, oena aown urn
head, and walk off as quiet as a Iamb.
When he had gone a rod the horse
boy would begin to untwist, soon off
would come the cord, and the norse
would be all right for the day. The
remedv never failed.
After having it oa two or three
times he objected to the operation,
and would spring about and rear and
twitch and back, anything but start
ahead, to keep it from being applied.
We would have, two of us, to begin
to pat and rub about bis neck and
bead He would not kaowa which
bad the key. All at once it would
be on his ear and winding up. The
moment it began to tighted he would
be quiet, stand and bear it as long as
be could, and then on he would go.
It never took thirty second to get
bim off with the key. It would take
an hour witoout. After a little he
ceased objecting to have it put on.
He seemed to say to himself, "I have
got to give in, and may as well do it
at once," but he would not start with
out the key. In a few month be got
so that, as soon as we got into tbe
carriaire .be would bend down bis
bead to have tbe key put 00, and
one or two tores would be enough
for him.
Then the key became unnecesary.
He would bend down his bead, tip
ping bis left ear to the horse-boy,
who would take it in bis hand and
twist it, and off he would go.
My natiye neighbors said. "That
horse must be wound up or be can
not run." And it ii1 seem to be
80.
When he got so that tbe "winding
up" was nothing but a form, I tried
to break him of that, but cculd not
succeed. I would pat him and talk
to bim and give bim a little salt or
sugar or bread, and then step quiet
ly into the carraige and tell bim to
go. "Mo." Coax him. "No."
Whip bim. "No." Legs braced,
eyery muscle tense for resistance. A
genuine balk. Stop and keep quiet
for an instant, and be would bold
down bis bead, bend over bis ear,
and look around for tbe horse-boy ap
pealingly, saying very earnestly by
actions, "Do please wind me up. I
can't go without, but I'll eo gladly
if yoa will." Tbe moment bis ear
was touched, and one twist given, off
be would go as happy and contented
as ever a horse could be.
Many hearty laughs have we and
our friends bad over the winding up
of tbe horse. If I were out oa a
touF for a month or two and he was
not hitched to tbe carriage, or if be
stood in tbe stable with no work for
a week or two during tbe monsoon, a
real winding up had to take place the
first time he was put in. We kept
bim six years. Tbe last week I own
ed bim 1 bad to wind bim op. I sold
tbe patent to the man that bought tbe
horse, aud learned from him that be
had to use it as long as tbe horse liv

Some lawyers take very practical
views of cases in which tbey are re
tained. In a certain town in Missou
ri bquire U was detending a
charge of malpractice. A colored
man was suing for damages, bis wife
having died shortly after the opera
tion for the removal of a cancer.
When it came Sqnrie O 'a tarn
to cross-examine the plaintiff, he ask
ed : "Mr. WiUon, bow old was your
wife wben she diedf"
"About forty-five, sir."
"Yoa have married agaia, have
you not?"
"Yes, Sir."
How old is yonr present wife, Mr.
Wilson ?"
"About thirty-five."
Is she stout and healthy, Mr. Wil
son ?"
"Yes, Sir."
"Then, Mr. Wilson, will yoa please
state to this jury how yoa are dam
aged in thi? case."
Mr. Wilson had evidently never
taken this view of the matter, and
could make no answer. The good
and true men thought he bad made
rather a good thing by his bereave

York, I'a , Oct. 18. Tbe Rev. A.
Tripcer wist found hanging by the
neck in VI vnchester borough yester
day. IJj was well known ia this
portion of Pennsylvania, and his Bad
end has created great comment. He
was stiving with his brother-io-law,
Henry Eei hart Oa the night pre
vious to L is death there was appar
ently nothing the matter with bim.
He rested well and at five o'clock
yesterday morning arose aad went
down stairs for a dnok of water, re
turning ia a moment or two. About
balfaa hour after that his wife left
the room without tbe least intimation
of anything being wrong. After
breakfast she returned to her cham
ber, aud to her surprise found her
husband missing, and at once began
a search Her little niece came to
ber assis ince, and noticing tbe door
way leading to the attic open, they
ascended the stairs and were horri
fied to find Mr. Tripner hanging by
the neck. After his wife had left tbe
room be cut a rope from tbe bed and
went q-'; :ly up tbe stairs. Here he
looped th; cord around his neck and
fastened he other end to a rafter. By
bending his knees he allowed him
self to bang by the neck until life was
extinct. All was done without noise
enough to arouse the least suspicion
on the p rt of tbe unsuspected wife,
who was calmly eating her breakfast
at tbe time of tbe tragic death of her
husband.
Mr. Tripner was pastor of the Uni.
ted Brethren Church at Duncanaon,
Terry county. He was a native of
Cumberland and entered tbe ministry
while pt 'l young He married Miss
CatharLo Lobaugh, of Carlisle, who
died abjut three years ago, leaving
no children. Less thaa four weeks
ago the miaister was married to Miss
Ella Ererbart at Maacbester. Sever
al days after their marriatre Mr. Trip
ner went to his charge at Duncannon,
but on B'-ejUQt of aa attack ot mala,
rial fever be was confined to his room
and was unable to resume his pastor
al duties. He did not retura to Man
chester uatil Tuesday of this week,
and wbea be arrived he was suffering
considerably. He complained that
his memory was failing bim. His
wife dev i-ed ber entire attention to
him and the day before his death he
appeared much better. He undoubt
edly committed suicide in a fit of mo
mentary insanity, brought on by sick
ness. Mr. Tripner was bnried to
