MELISSA'S
LETTER
By Martha McCulloch-Willi&ms
Copyright, 1105,
by Martha McCulloch-Williams
-o
It was rainy within and without.
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."

IS THE Sim HEAL?
Significant Inquiry of a Newspaper
Correspondent.
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
