An jifering will be taken the proceeds of which will be given to the V. I. S. and for the school library. The late Ili 11 Nye had a faculty of telling the truth in a quaint way. One of his sayings was: (t our wag on roads are a disgrace to civiliza tion, and before we undertake to supply underwear and Hibles with flexible backs to the Africans we might as well put a few dollars into the relief of galled and broken down horses that have lost their health 011 our miserable highways," A well kept road pays 200 per cent profit on the investment to the farmer whose farm adjoins it.— Tewanha Review. THE YOUNG MAN FROM WYOMING AT EAGLES MERE. A SULLIVAN COUNTY NOVELETTE. 11Y THOMAS J. INUHAM. " \1 length there came a telegram from licr husband say ing: 'J was wounded in battle and brought to the hospital at Petersburg. My wound is serious but 1 hopc| not dangerous.' Although Anna had hoped he night escape unharmed, she had always kept herself in readiness lo goto him on short notice, and'in an hour she was on her way to Washington. There, through the assistance of a friend who was a member of Con gress, she obtained the necessary passes to enable her to reach Petersburg. .After delays which seemed to her interminable, she at last arrived in Petersburg and hastened to the hospital. I here she found upon his narrow hospital bed her pale, wounded soldier. She came to him like a great llood of light, and the happiness of their meeting for the moment made them forget the danger, and feel that it only needed a few weeks nursing to make him well, and then they would go home to gether. " \fter their first happv greetings were over, Anna began practiealls to see what he needed and what she could do for him. Ifer heart sank when she found the wound was in his bod) and the ball could not be extracted. .The surgeon, how ever, encouraged her to hope, and at times she felt quite sure he would get well. If tender, skilful attention could have saved him he would have been saved. I lei* energy never abated; her resources seemed never exhausted; her youth and beaut} and devotion to her husband inspired the surgeons to their utmost skill : and yet he> became weaker and weaker, and al lasl died with his head upon her bosom. "Her grief was heartrending, but she felt her work was not all done. It was no common task at that time and place to get the help, the means, and permits necessary to remove the I>od\ t'» Philadelphia lor interment, but this she accom plished.' "When the funeral was < ver, she did not allow herself to sink into despondency, but determined to return to the hos pital and nurse the wounded soldiers. To her father and mother, who remonstrated, s!:e >aid, 'Having been there and seen them, and knowing wlia; I can do, I must go.' She took with her several elderly ladies who were experiencd nurses, and together th; \ helped many wounded soldiers to return to the loved ones at home, and smoothed the dark road for many others. "When the war ended and their services were no longer needed, they returned Philadelphia. Since then her father has died, leaving a very m< •d.-rate income to his widow, and the onlv independent income Mr-. Ilelois has i- the pension she draws from th<- government. She has given time to many practical good work-, and has shown tact and ability in all she undertakes. She has never married again, although her hus band has been dead about fifteen years. "This is the substance <■ t Ihe information I have gathered which I hope will be satisfactory to you. Your friend. 11. W When l.essingham had finished reading the letter he mut tered. "Divorce! lolls ! Nonsense! Win did I allow myself to be looled by such indefinite conversation? I might have guessed she was a widow. I might have known such a pure woman would not have trialcl me so—well, so friendlv. if she had a living husband. There i's nothing in her position to im pede my wishes, but how is it with mine? What will she sav when she hears the truth concerning 'lie? That I will find out: the truth she shall know about me, and then if she will have me. we will be married: n not, we part forever'." CHAPTER FOUR. At the earliest opportunity after l.essingham received the information from Philadelphia he visited Mrs. Ilelois. lie no longer visited her as "Doctor." toi she was so near well that "not even an excuse could be made for a visit on that score. When he called be was lorlunate enough to find her alone. I here had been such a distanci between them of late that he hardly knew how to appro eh the conversation he wished to have with her. It was not a mere proposal he wished to make, lie could have reached that without much preamble. What he wished wa> to tell her ccriaiii facts about himself before he led her to commit herself in any way, and then he thought if she accepted him it would be with her eyes open and he might hope lor her complete love. Without that he did not wish a marriage. Perceiving that he was not bis ease. Mrs. Ilelois com menced a light bantering conversation, and among other lliings remarked : "Doctor, are gentlemen as much opposed to telling their ages as ladies?" "Really, I don't know' how much opposition ladies have to telling their ages, so I ean't answer that." "Well Doctor, I heard a lady express her opinion about your age the other day." "Indeed, what did sin think about it?" "I guess what -lie said won't disturb you any, so I'll tell. She thought you must be about thirtv ." I hirty I ought not io complain of that; perhaps you think I am older?" "I? Oh, I was not telling my thoughts." "Won I you oblige nil- then, bv telling vour honest opinion about my age*" "ll it will oblige you I will: but really. Doctor, I think I have been a little impertinent in raising the question, and I am willing to let it drop just here." "Not the least impertinence, Mrs. Ilelois, in anything you have said, and it you will tell me your honest opinion about my age. I will then tell you the truth about it. We'll see how close you can guess." "I think, Doctor. said she. with much consideration, "that you are not far from thirtv-live." We II mark that gtie-s down, Mrs. Ilelois. and when 1 tell you my age you will see liotV near you have it ; but before I tell you my age I want permission to tell you the story of my life." " W hatcvcr you wish to tell me..Doctor. I shall ho pleased to hear." 1 \ I he story I have to tell is not a short one, and is for your ears alone. It is late to commence it to-night, and we should be interrupted her. , h von will go with me in the boat tomorrow. I will tell it to von." * " \ cry well, I will go " Alter arranging the time when ho was to call for Mrs. Ilelois in the morning. Mr. I e singham bade her good-night. CM \ I 'IT R PIYK. I he morning was delightful, and promised to be one of those days which" late summer .at the lake so often affords; wlu n the sun beams w it h genial warmth, the winds are hushed, and the water a mirror for the green trees and blue sky. Mr. l.essingham called for Mrs. Ilelois at the appointed hour, and the walked together t> the lake.
