Sonsetown Defeated.
Saturday afternoon the Laporte
base ball team played with Sones
town at this place, winning by a
score of 18-11. We promised the
Sonestown boys not to say much
about it.and our feelings would
not permit us to do so anyway,
for they aie a good hunch and hard
players but their training in ball
ology has been insufficient to allow
them a victory over Laporte. An
unusual feature of the game was
the batting of three tlies in one in
ning, by Sonestown, to each of La
porte's out fielders, which were
captured. The Carpenter brothers
twirled the ball for the home team
and Wheat-ley of Kstella, pitched

camp prophesy, and the presenta
tion of humorously applicable gifts
to each member of Camp. Songs
and cheers will he sprinkled tliro
>ut the program, and the evening

Box and Cox." one of the most
iiising farces ever written. 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. W hen they were
in the boat, and fairly out upon the transparent water, Mr.
