"Thirty years. "
Bhesaid "why.it's
more than a gene
ration, half a life

possible. "
Trainor struck
his own beast a cut
with the whip and
answered pettish
ly: "Ves, thirty
years. It seems that
you are much more
interested in those
dead soldiers than
you are in me. 1 1
asked you it question, aud you don't
deiti to reply."
"Well," she smiled, "didn't we
come down to see the old battlefield"' i
ihiit was the year you were born,
wasn't it, dirndl? Oh, pardon me,
you did ask mo something. But I was
distracted by the surrounding."
She lifted her eyes and looked off at
the blue hill tops. It was early in
March, and tho trees wero budding.

voice. She fell back a little and an - L
swereu sweetly: "Ob, Carroll, I was
only joking. It's so pleasant here I
am enjoying tho riJe so much that
was all. Tell me again."
And he was appeased.
Her lovely eyes shone at him under
their heavy fringes. "Tell me, dear,"
he murmured.
"If you could only csre enonc;h for I
me, Lila. If I could only feel that no i
one woum step in ami win away your
heart. Yes, I d go. I'd give up this
wretched theatrical business and go

what pressure would be brought to
boar on you. Oh, I know only too
Well, The Admiral is getting old ; he
wants to see you married and settled
aud your fortune secured to you. And
your aunt well your aunt isn't fond
of chaperoning, Ob, Lila, I haven't
tuuch heart!"
"You haven't ?" she laujliel, sauc
ily. "Dear me! One would think so
from this stolen ride of ours! Aunt
would never dream of your having the
assurance. She thinks I'm sate at
Hharpsburg. The Admiral's hair would
siand on end. Heigho! Chi roll, there's
a deitl of wisdom m your reasouiug.
Yo'i urj very sage, dear, about mv

there is more grit in me than you
imagine. Drop this thentre business;

Trainor reached over and caught her
baud. "A solemn promise, Lila; re
member a solemn promise."
"A promise, solemn or otherwise,,'
mi (the girl. "I keep all mv prom
ises. '
Then they role on in the mild
M.uvh air. Ami Traiuor's heart
seemed relieved of a vast load. It was
settled now; he would cut tho stage
aud no to the Mexican mines.
He lutd been in love with Lila
Havens for a long time it seemed to
him us if he had alwuys been in love
with her. Ho hud no't dared to oiler
himself us a suitor to the old Admiral
or cwti easy-tempered Mrs. Blair.
ii . .
Hut I.ila had encouraged him, and 1
sited w ith the hopes of pluuing him-
Bi n a iHJiur uuvauiago. lieiug an
actor was not to his liking; he had
ne-iie little dramatic talent, but not
btilVicient to warraut hard work.
He realized this and desired to quit
the profession. He had very little iu
the world apart from his good birth
and tho breeding of a gentleman. Ho
had, to be sure.good looks aud a pleas
aut address, but those were uoteuough
to warrant a private interview with
Admiral Ulair. Dear Lila? She had
been daring, indeed, to flip off for
this rids over to the AntieUm battlo
ground.
When they parted that after
noon he had her promise, and he do
cided ti return to Baltimore at onco
and make his arrangements to go to
Mexico.
Lila TTavcnt went on alone to the
friends she was to visit at Sharpsbnrg.
"We expected you this morning,"
aaid her hostess.
"Ye, dear. But yon nee I was un
avoidably delayed What a lovely
day it has been."
"And thcro is a telegram for you,
Lila."
"Keally? Something aunt forgot to
mention. I dare say. Excuse me."
She liroke it open carelessly. "Dear
tnc 1" she puckered her brow. "Only
fancy I The Admiral is coming down
here to-morrow." But no concern ex
pressed itself in her charming counte
nanauce, although there was danger
of the old gentleman's discovering
that it had taken her a day entire to
make a three hours' journey. "Now
what can he want?" she mused, aud
dismissed tlio subject.
The Admiral appeared on tho scene
the following day.
"My dear Lila," he said, "I must
have a little talk with you."
"Yes, uncle."
Miss ilavrus waa looking her pretti
est iu a new gray gown. Her gray
eves sparkled, her golden-brown hair
shone. Nhc was young, joyous, high
spirited. "Lila. my dear," they were quite
alone "I have had a proposal for
i your hand in marriage. If I ha. I
el,lMM'ii the man I could not bo better
pleased. It will give me great happi-
iiess to see you the who of Judge
Mason."
"t'nele! Judge Mason 1"
''Yes, my dear."
"I'ucle ! He is more than twico ray
age. 1 never dreamed of it.
'Ho is a young man, my dear, a
vigorous young tuau. lie will idolize
vou. ion knew he admired you.
"No, uncle."
"He will make you very happy.'
"He is a widower."
"Hut his only daughter is married."
I 'Ob, uncle, it it is out of the
j question."
"My dear, you givo mo great cause
for appreheiisiou. It will disappoint
me terribly if you do not accept him."
"hut, uncle, I am but eighteen.
'Why should I marry for five or six
i years yet? I'll never be young but
mice never," she said pathetically.
' Rm "penniless creature
that requires a home. I might be al
lowed to pick aud choose."
"My dear." The old man looked
suddenly grave and pale. Thero is
bad nens; you must mako up your
mind to meet it bravely."
Lila's face reflected aomo of tho
paleness of his own. ' '
"Uncle uiy my money? Have I
lost it?" v v .
"There has been a Wrible .financial
failure. I hardly know how to tell
yo, We only heard yesterday, and
- 0 ,,on tl,ow for "ure ?ot- 1 om
.wt : l T : I- . ..A. 1 t
tv. raid Lila -ou must bear up 1
am afraid vou have lost nearly all you
had."
The gir! leaned back in her clair.
There wns a stunned look in her face.
She did not spoak. The Admiral went
ou, speaking more rapidly.
"I can hardlv Maine myself. It
was au undreamed of thiug. Of course
there if a little real estate left vou.
Heaven knows I wish it had beou all
in housiM, Judge Mason "
"Oh!" the girl broko io suddenly,
"he won't want mo now when he
knows I am penniless. "
"My child, he came ns soon ns he
knew it."
"What to pity me?"
"Nn ; he ha 1 been intending for
several days to conic, he said, hut I
was away from home, as you know.
The news made absolutely no diller
ence iu his course. He was coming
anyway. Of course he was sorry to
hear it, but as he is extremely wealthy
it cannot prove so serious jt matter."
"To him, uncle, of course not."
"Xor to you, Lila, if you can ouly
accept him."
. "It is out of tho quostion, uncle. '
Tears came into her eyes. "I am
sorry to disappoiut you, but I eauuot
marry him."
"Think it over," said the old man.
"Think it over; it is not necessary to
decide at once."
Lila's visit was ended almost as so3ii
as begsm. She went bauk at once
with Admiral Blair. Her aunt re
ceived her tearfully, and took her to
her room for a private talk.
"Lila, this offer of Judgo Mason'c
is providential. You will accept him.
dear. I know you will. He is a grand
amn. What social precedence you
will take! You will bo a leader, us
you deserve to be. He is a lovable
man, too. You can bo very happy."
"Aunt, I shall never marry Judge
Muhoii. May I go to my owu room
now?"
She spoke coldly, for it chilled her
to find auut even more ready aud
anxious than the Admiral, who was
ouly her uncle by marriage, to dis
pose of her. Pid they grudge her a
mere home?
She went to her room and locked
herself in. Theu she wrote to Carroll
Traiuor :
"I am no longer rich. There is no
use of an eusaeeiueut. I have lost
everything, l'erhaps you will bo rich
some day, Carroll. If so, you must
come and find me." But she said
nothing of the Hon. Thomas Mason.
Traiuor felt grieved at the tone of
her letter. Ho wrote back reproach
fully. Sho hud made a promise Per
haps she sought to be released from
it. If so, he would release her. In
her place he would hardly have so
writ tun. But theu he waa ouly a
man.
A lovers' quarrel by letter is a aad
affair: there are always so many littla
details that cannot bo explained.
Things written down in black and
white are bo much colder, besides,
than things spoken.
Ho Trainor went his way with
melancholy visage, and made his
arrangements for Mexico with a leaden
heart.
Meanwhile the Blairs continued to
urgo Judge Mason as a suitor for Lila.
The girl's soul sickened within her.
A brief note front Trainor told her
that he was just leaving for the Oulf
const, where he would find a steam
ship for Vera Cruz. Ho thought he
would never return to the United
States. A great despair came over
her. In her sensitive state sho felt
that he no longer cared for her.
She capitulated and consented to re
ceive J udge Mason's addresses.
Three months had passed. The
wedding was to take place the last
week of June. Miss Havens was to be
come Mrs Thomas Mason. Tho wed
ding invitations were about to be sent
out the wedding day was rlxo.l a
fortnight hence. Miss Hsvcns, out
on a shopping errand, turned a street
corner sharply, and ran against noma
one. She looked up and grew pale.
It was Carroll Traiuor.
"You I" she said faintly.
'You didn't expect to see me? Lila,
for heaven's sake, is it true? You are
going to marry Judge Mason?"
She nodded with an effort. The
idea of the marriage to which she had
become reconciled, but never enthusi
astically disposed, suddenly seemed
sickening. Herwholo aoul revolted.
"Carroll !" sho gasped. "Oh, Car
roll! If thero were any escape!"
"Escapo? What do you mean?
Isn't it your own choosing? Are you
being forced into marrying that old
widower?'
"I I Oh. you seemed not to want
me. And uncle and auit seemed not
to want me. Nobody seemed to want
mc except Judge Mason. He was
very kind but I never have loved
him. Carroll, if you had not deserted
me!"
"I deserted you ! Heavens ! We
must have a talk. Where can we go?
Let's t'nd some restaurant aud order
ice cream. It's very warm."
"Yes, yes," friod Lila.
"I've just returned from Mexico,"
sunt 1 minor, "and 1 in going back
there at once. I've got a splendid
chance. It's lonesome for a man to
be by himself. One or two of the 'cl
lows have their wives with them.
They are very happy. The climate is
like paradise."
Au hour later Lila Havens returnod
home looking extremely cheerful.
"Pid you get all you needed, Lila?"
her auut asked.
"Oh, yes, auut, and ruoro than I
expected."
She went up to her room humming
"See how his face ho covers!" The
trousseau had nearly all been brought
home. The traveliug dress seemed
to claim her attention.'
"I wonduC ' she mused, "how
that ,wonM do for a trip through Mex
ioo? It would be cool enough I dare
say."
Then she looked ont of her window.
"The weddiug mvitatious are not
yet sent," sho said.
Thero was something unusual in th
atmosphere. It was the followiug
morning, aud the Admiral aud his
good la ly wero at the breakfast table.
Miss Havens had tint come down. A
servant sent to call her reported that
she was not iu her room.
"(lone out for au early walk," said
the Admiral. His morning mail lay
before him. He took up the top let
ter of all and gazed severely at it. Tho
handwriting was Lila's. Tho letter
had been posted the night before. He
opened it, read it iu sileuce, aud
passed it to his wife.
"Po not send tho invitations," it
said, "for 1 will not marry Judi;o
Mason. He is a good mati and will
understand it was a mist.ike. I love
someone else, and have goue away to
marry him. We shall spend our
honeymoon iu a palm thatched hut iu
Mexico."
Mr. Blair could not speak. After
a moment's silence the Admiral ob
served; "No need to send tho trous
seau to her. 1'eople don't wear many
clothes down theie."
And aiaiii, after a pause "On the
whole, I'm glad the marriage is off.
Tho Judge's daughter was greatly op
posed. She might have made thing
unpleasant after a bit. 1 rather dis
liked the responsibility."
And still again: "She's it plucky
little creature. Lila is Oo.l bless
her I" New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Have Various For.iis.
It has long been supposed that the
bacilli of various diseuses could inva
riably be identified by their forms,
and microscopists have dwelt learned
ly on the comma bacillus, the bacillus
spirllis and so on. The last results of
(lerman bacteriology, however, go to
cast a doubt ou all this, and it is even
asserted that the typical forms of
virulent disease may develop from
forms hitherto deemed harmless. It
seems settled that under different
conditions the same species of bacillus
may present entirely diuerout forms.
The writers couclude that such signs
of polymorphy cannot be ignored, and
that it is a great mistake to devote
exclusive attention to the common
and so-called normal forms described
iu tho text-books, passing over others
as abnormal. This discovery seems
to throw the whole subject of bacteri
ology back into a very unsatisfactorily
chaotio condition. New Orleans Pica

"No: cows don't know anything

"Couldn't they keep it In their

When Harry was 0 years old his
grandfather sent him a very nice
present from the farm. You cannot
guess what it was, so I will tell you.
A goat, with a harness and cart for
Harry to drive him. llarrj named
bini Gypsy because ho was so black.
Gypsy and Harry had a great many
good times togethar. Ho would draw
Harry to school and then wait very
patiently under the shade of a tree
till school was out. All tho school
children were very fond of him, and
would bring him sweet apples and
cake.
The teacher was fond of Gypsy,
too, and would often bring sugar to
him, but she never let Gypsy have it
until he had performed one of the
tricks tho boys had taught him. He
must either stand on his head, Low
or dance. C'-ypsy could do all theso.
One day Gypsy did something very
funny. It was a very hot day, and
Harry thought he would unharness
him and let him roam around the
schoolyard.
What do you think Gypsy did? lie
walked Into the school house straight
up to the teacher and stood on his
bead. He was begging for sugar.
The teacher laughed with the
scholars, and said: "Gyosy, you have
jgat
learned your lesson well. Now I'll
excno you and let you go out to
play." And then she drove him out.
One of the boys begged leave to
give Gypsy an apple, and the teacher
said he might Gyrsy took the apple
In his mouth and made a little bow.
The scholars laughed so long that
the teacher had to closo the door for
fear Gypsy would do some other funny
thing. Our Little Ones.

to the making of a planing tool, a
Scotch engineer, Malcolm Suther

the rather unique plc:c of apparatus
shown In tho annexed sketch, and
consisting, In brief, of an electrically
driven revolving cutter, mounted In
a frame on rollers, which, by means
of handles, can bo moved about in
exactly the same way and quite as
easily, it Is claimed, as the garden
tool mentioned. Tho lawn-mower
resemblance, In fact, Is perfect. The
frame, or rather base plate, Is of
steel, and carries the cutter on Its
under side, while the motor is placed
on top and drives the cuttc through
Intervening gear wheels, giving It a
speed of 3,000 revolutions per minute.
Tho hind roller of the bao plate,
which follows In the cut, Is fitted
with eccentric Journals, so that, by
moving a lever, they can be raised or
lowered, and the depth of cut nicely
adjusted. The principal field of thf
