Melissa looked through dim eyes at the. streamy window panes, the long slant lines outside. Her nunt Judith viewed them instead with satisfaction —theywould serve so well to excuse Melissa's nonappearance at the ceme tery. Nobody, Indeed, would go there but the men of the post, the lifers and drummers, and maybe a few fool poli ticians, intent on catching the Grand Army vote. Thus thought Aunt Judith to herself. As Miss Hill and later Mrs. Bent, Aunt Judith had not spent fifty odd years iu Carinel town without finding herself able to forecast rather accu rately what the townfolk would or wouUl not do. Until this season she had been stren uous in observing Memorial day. Even yet, notwithstanding her quarrel with the Fariugs and ull their tribe, she did not mean openly to slight the occasion. Blie did not mean either that Melissa should go along, the pet of thinning, gray bearded ranks, her arms full of flowers for the quiet green graves. Melissa wasn't a child any more—go ing on nineteen and with her head full of love aud marriage. Neither Melissa nor* Aunt Judith had kith or kin In the cemetery; there had been no man of their blood togo off to the fighting. All the same, Melissa had always saved her choicest blossoms for one especial mound, Private John Farlug's grave. John Faring 3d, tho private's great-hephew, bad seen her do It, with openly worshiping eyes. I "He's your Uncle John, too," Johnny had said, over and over, "because as soon as we grow up your name will be Melissa Faring." When a very young man proposes, his elders often dispose—otherwise. John and Melissa had found that out when Miss Adrienne Day came on the scene. That was six months back. Miss Day bad a temper and u big nose, but she also had a fortune in hand. Judge Faring and the madam were miglg;lly taken with her, as she in re turn was taken with their sou. So they had set to work to break off that childish affair between John and Me lissa. They were not mercenary, only thriftily ambitious for their one child. Therefore It seemed to them hard and cruel the way Mrs. Bent took fire at their well meant suggestions. Sell them her house and go away indeed! She would have them know if there was any moving done fhey might do it themselves. She would have them re member also a Ilill had founded Car mel; also that the Farings of that time hadn't amounted to much. But they were not to think that she was for hanging onto Johuuy Faring. Good ness knew, Melissa ctfuld have better chances simply for turning over her hand. She (Mrs. Bent) had felt all along that with her looks and her blood Mcltesa ought to look higher. But as to telling the child what to do well, that remained with herself. Still, if Melissa had any Hill blood in her, It was mighty unlikely she would go into a family that didn't make her wel come. The inevitable outcome was a break and a pair of sore hearts. Then fate took up the running and In cruel kind ness gave Melissa a fortune—a fortune twice as big as Miss Adrlenno Day could show. Johuuy Faring did not give up hope until he heard of it. -Then he turned very white, and after a sleepless night shook the dust of Car mel from his feet. lie could uever go to Melissa and make her bear reason now that such going would seem shameless fortune hunting. As yet the fortune had made little outward except that there were no more customers coming to the Bent bouse, the old Hill homestead. Aunt Judith bustled about helping tlie maid of all work, the while keeping a covert watclw upon her niece. After a little said, speaking half medi tatively: "Come on up In the garret, Melissa. A rainy day like this ulwayn makes me want to rummage. Besides, I've got to get out the flags. We'll put one right on the peak of the porch and the other over the front door. Of course uohody'll see 'em. Even this town won't turn out in face of such a stm-in, but I Just can't let the day pass same as any other. Even if the Hags do got spoiled we can afford to buy new ones." "Yes," Melissa said absently, "but— I don't feel like rummaging. Aunt Ju. I think I'll gj write some letters in stead, if you don't mind." "H-m! Who to?" Mrs. Bent asked sharply. Melissa smiled wistfully. "I—hard ly know," she sfaid. "Maybe I shan't write any—only sit and sew. It's about all I can do. 1 think there will be no getting out today." "There won't be. Take care of your self. Don't mope," Mrs. lleut said, hustling away. Melissa went softly to her own room, ■opened her desk and swiftly wrote three lines. Then she huddled into her waterproof and stole out very softly with what she had written tucked safely in her breast. She crept through the garden, longing, yet uot daring, to take the best of Its bloom, darted through the gate and almost ran to the cemetery. On the way she stopped here or tlierb to pluck roadside blossoms— white clover, folded dandelions, big. blue, scentless violets. All these she bound Into a knot with a blade of grass. It was not a big knot. It would hardly show in the long grass over a sunny grave. As she bent at lust to lay it on the grave she thrust Into it the note. Then, without a backward look, she hurried away. In a little while she was home again, with her absence undiscovered. She sat down by the window, but her eyes were no longer dim. Instead they looked -out at the rainy world, bright and full of expectant hope. John Faring 3d had come home for Memorial day and In spite of the storm went out to the cemetery. The post had come and gone—all the old fellows in carriages heaped with flow ers—but somehow the graves did not look as he remembered them. The flowers were humped and lumped aud straggly. Private John Faring had not been forgotten, but Ills resting place especially was unlike itself. John 3d knelt down by it, heedless of oozy turf, and tried with mannish awk wardness to better its arrangement. Thus his eyes rested upon the knot of wild flowers and caught the dull gleam of sodden paper in the midst of them. Reverently he unfolded the note and read with blurred vision: Dear Undo John—l bring you all I can —this year. Aunt Ju owns the flowers— and she hates your name. But I love It. John Faring is the best name in the world. I wish my name might be Faring. There was no signature. John 3d needed none. He bent and kissed the knot of flowers, still fresh under the pouring rain, then, with an unuttered prayer, turned about and went with long strides toward the Bent house. Melissa had called to him. He would goto her in spite of pride, in spite of unmanly fear. What if the world did scoff? He could endure it a hundred times over just to look once again into her eyes and see happiness. He had been a coward, uo kin at all to the soldier sleeping there In peace, to have let the quarrel of the elders sep arate him from his sweetheart—his sweetheart—doubly dear in that she had shown herself thus brave. Melissa met Uim oil tlie porch. The wet flati bravely strove to flutter iii the rainy wind over their heads. For a minute they stood looking one at the other. Then John held open his arms, saying: "Darling, I found the letter, and I am never going to leave you unless you say 1 must." "I say you must stay," Melissa said under her breath and hiding lier fuce in liis breast. Auction* In Frnnoe, The French mode of conducting auc tions is rather curious. In sales of im portance, such as of land, houses, etc., the affair is placed In the hands of a notary, who for the time being becomes au auctioneer. The property, what ever be its nature, is first examined by competent judges, who fix upon it a price, considerably less than its value, but always sufficient to pre vent any ruinous loss by a preconcert ed plan or combination of bidders. The properly is then offered with the fixed valuation stated. The auctioneer U provided with a number of small wax tapers, each capable of burning about five minutes. As SOJH as a hi# is made one of these tapers is placed in full view of all interested parties and lighted. If before it expires another bid is offered. It is immediately extin guished and a fresh taper placed in Its stead, and so on until one flickers and dies out of itself, when the last bid becomes irrevocable. This simple plan prevents all contention among rival bidders and affords a reasonable time for reflection before making a higher offer than the one preceding. By this means, too, the auctioneer is prevented from exercising undue in fluence upon the bidders or hastily ac cepting the bid of a favorite. A Queen's Dluuder. • For some time after her marriage with Napoleon the Empress Marie Louise was extremely ignorant of the French language. On one occasion, seeing her husband look vexed over a letter he had received from the court of Austria, she Inquired of him what was the matter. "Oh, nothing," replied Napoleon; "your father Is an old ganache, that is all." Marie Louise did not know that this was French for fool and took the first opportunity of asking a courtier what It meant, say ing that the emperor had applied the expression to her father. "It means some one very learned and wise," stammered the unfortunate courtier. The empress was perfectly satisfied with this explanation and pleased to learn a new word. A day or two after Bhe received the Archcliancellor Cam baceres In a crowded salon. Some question was being warmly discussed in the circle, and her opinion was asked. Wishing to be very gracious, Marie Louiso turned to Cambaceres and said, "We will refer that point to the archbishop, for we all know he Is the greatest ganache In Paris."

There Is a Growing Impression That the Boasted Balance Is Largely Made Up of I. O. U.'s and Other Evidences cf Debt. The llarrisburg correspondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch, an independ- ' ent and conservative Republican news paper, writes as follows: Is the 310,000.000 "rash balance" of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania real money, or "cats and dogs?" Has the state a vast surplus of act ual money available for emergencies, as so glibly alleged in the "literature" of the Republican state machine, or is this "surplus" made up, in part at least, of the "paper"of irresponsible or dead politicians? These startling questions are likely to figure very prominently in the cam paign for state treasurer during* the remaining six weeks before election. The managers of the anti-gralt cam paign profess to be convinced that if once an untrammeled state treasurer could get his hands on the innermost I records of the finances of the common wealth, he could uncover such a state of affairs as would tremendously shock the people of Pennsylvania, accustomed as they are to revelations of misman agement in public office. Keeping Things Quiet. This phase of the anti-graft cam paign has been held back apparently until such time as its presentation to the people will permit of its being kept fresh in the public thought right up to the casting of the November ballots. Prior to this publication only the slightest hint of it has been given That was in the address of Charles Heber Clark, the distinguished Mont gam ery county author and authority on civic affairs, before the meeting at which the Lincoln party was organized several weeks ago. Mow far the anti-grafters will be able togo toward convincing the people that the very welfare of the common wealth demands a thorough scrutiny of the public assets, remains to be seen. The men who are directing this cam paign evidently have taken a leaf out of the lessons of the reform move ments of the past which have destroyed their effectiveness by shooting off their best ammunition too early in the cam paign. Therefore, they are keeping their own counsel as to the "surprises" they are going to spring later on. One thing is fairly certain: They should experience little difficulty in proving the significant fact that nearly all the state treasurers of recent years, no matter how tightly bound up to the machine, have held off for weeks before accepting the conditions found in the office and assuming responsibility therefor. Is the Surplus Real? When it is considered that the state treasury has been absolutely in the hands of the "organization" for well on to half a century, it is not surprising that actual evidence for or against the substantiality of the "$10,000,000 sur plus," or of anything else concerning the treasury, for that matter, is decid edly scarce. From the elder Cameron's time, all down through the Cameron and Quay "dynasties," there has been greater care exercised by the bosses in the se lection of candidates for state treas urer than for any other state office, the governorship not excepted. As a result of this, and also by rea son of a complicated system of cross accounts between the treasurer and the auditor general, the record of the treas ury has been virtually a sealed book to the people who pay the money. They have been told every month that there were so many dollars to the credit of the commonwealth In the various fa vored banks. For the past three years the total given has not gone below $10,000,000 except two or three times. But they haven't any other assurance than the bare published report that the "millions" represent real dollars rather than political "I O U's." And the business of the anti-graft campaigners will be to make them see that they never will have other assur ance until they defeat a machine-made candidate and elect a state treasurer free enough and brave enough to run his hand down to the very bottom of the state's strong box and find out ex actly what is there. Castle Paving the Way. The revelations made this week by Homer L. Castle, of Pittsburg, appar ently are designed as paving the way in the public mind for the still graver statements that are expected to follow concerning the management of the pub lic funds. Mr. Castle has shattered the long-established theory of the gentle men who deal Instate deposits, that there need be no fear of publicity where only the parties directly involved in the deal are in a position to give ajiy information concerning it. On the same basis the millions of state appropriations to public and pri vate charities and educational institu tions were for years bartered off at a 10 per cent, rake-off rate until, finally, Professor Davis, in the Clarion State Normal School case, had the courage to tell what was going on. Notwithstanding some of the hurried denials, Mr. Castle has presented facts enough to convince most men who do not prefer to believe otherwise, that many of the state's millions are regu larly dealt out to banks that are will ing in return to finance the precarious fortunes of a select few of the political "insiders." The antl-grafters are highly elated over the turn affairs have taken, and are more than ever convinced of the wisdom of their decision early in the summer, that their campaign should be concentrated on the state treasury and the great importance to the people of rescuing it from the grip cff the ma chine. How He Got tlie Moon. John Ilenry Maedler, the astronomer, whose favorite study was the moou, having learned that Frau Wltte, the wife of the state councilor, owned a wonderful model of his pet luminary, spent years trying to gain possession of it. As her husband was living, ho could not marry the owner of the mod el, so he married her daughter, and at the death of his mother-in-law the cov eted moon became his. A I.ennou Wanted, A mother was showing her dear little Joo a picture of the martyrs thrown to the lions and was talking very solemn ly to him, trying to make him feel what a terrible thing It was. "Ma," said he all at once, "oh, ma. Just look at that poor little lion right ; behind there. He won't get any." Forming: Character*. m No humau being can come into this world without Increasing or diminish ing the sum total of human happiness not only of the present but every sub sequent age of humauity. No one can detach himself from this connection. There is no sequestered spot in the uni verse, no dark niche along the disk of nonexistence to which he can retreat from Ills relations to others, where he can withdraw the Infiueuce of his ex istence upon the moral destiny of the world. Everywhere his presence or ab sence will be felt. Everywhere he will have companions who will l>e better or worse for his influence. It Is an old saying and one of fearful and fathom less import that we are forming char acters for eternity. Forming charac ters! Whose? Our own or others? Both and In that momentous fact lie the peril and responsibility of our exist ence. Who is sufficient for the thought? Thousands of my fellow beings will yearly enter eternity with characters differing from those they would have carried thither had I never lived. The sunlight of that world will reveal my finger marks in their primacy forma tions and In their successive strata of thought and U/e.—EUihu BurrltL Selling Out...
