FREELAND, PA., JUNE 1, 1893. Why Wo Are In Shcol. A document recently issued by our theosophical brethren lays down as ono of its basic propositions the following startling statement: This earth Is hell. We do not know whether this is so or not, hut if it is then we know why it is so. It is becauso tho man who makes a business engagement with you, promis ing faithfully to bo on hand at a given hour, comes an hour afterward or not at all. Ho puts you to no end of inconve nience and loss from which you suffer indescribably, but ho does not care. It is away ho has of distributing sheol along each side of his path wherever he goes. Then there is tho laundress. She never on a single occasion has washed your clothes clean, and that is a good slice of sheol when it continues without intermission half a century. Tho hired girl never has been able to sweep or dust a room properly. It is an impossibility to got unadulterated food from the gro cer or baker, or well cooked, nourishing food for a month at a time anywhere. Then there are tho spiteful, bad temper ed people. They make life a sheol on their own hook. No more exquisite tor ture can ever ho inflicted on a sensitive person who lo\ es harmony and good will than to be forced to live with them. And it soon happens that the sensitive person almost always must live with ono of these tormenting spirits. There, too, is the evil spirit who tells lies, the fiend who tries to cheat you and the boss fiend of all who is dirty and offensive in his per sonal habits. Do you know anybody except yourself who is always good tempered, perfectly truthful, sincoro and honest, and who is entirely cleanly and has courteous man ners besides? On tho whole, perhaps tho theosophical brethren aro right. This may be sheoL Ever Read the Constitution? Tho editor of Harper's Magazine sug gests mildly that instead of so many at tempts at amending tho United States constitution an effort bo made to amend the general intelligence in regard to that constitution. The hint is a good one. It has been proposed as a requirement for naturalization that the applicant bo able to read the United States constitution and show that ho understands its provi sions. Did it over occur to the reform ers to apply the same test to native born citizens who in some cases have been voting 40 years or more? In fact, if put upon tho witness stand under oath to toll the truth in fear of death, how many of even intelligent peo ple, men and women, would be forced to confess they had never read tho con stitution of their own country, that ad mirable document which Professor Gold win Smith recontly held up to the whole British nation, as showing how much superior our government was to thoirs? The average American citizen ought at least to read that precious document twice a year. Classes should bo formed for its study, if not now, then next win tor. Tho confounding—not to say con founded—commentaries that havo been written on it aro not neoded. It is not hard to understand in its splendid sim plicity, with the added light of Ameri can common sense. Tho instrument alone, with tho history of its adoption, will bo the true basis of work and study. Teachers should first acquaint themselves with both, then teach the same oaro fully to their pupils. This would save many fool ideas in regard to legislation. HIGHLAND DOTS. John H. Boyle will fill the position which was held by M. W. Ivester. Mr. Kcster has been promoted to the outside foreraanship of No. 1 colliery, which was vacated by Hugh McNelis. William Stoltz, Sr., and his son Wil liam, were at Hainesport, New Jersey, on Saturday. Miss Mary E. Johnßon, of Bristol, is home on a short visit to her parents here. Another large stripping has been started here. Frank McKinley, of Freeland, has accepted a position as pumpman at No. 1 slope. The base hall club here has organized and would like to hear from amateurs of other towns. Theodore Klagge, of Sayre, was visit ing at the residence of George Harvey on Sunday. Synopsis of Previous Chapters. CHAPTERS I and ll—The new tenants of three udjoining villas in the London suburbs are Admiral Hay Denver, with u son Harold; Dr. Walker, with two motherless daughters, ; Clara and Ida, and Mrs. Westmacott and her nephew Charles. Mrs. Westmacott is one of tho muscular, emancipated sisterhood, with radical Wows and manners. CHAPTER lll—There is a common tennis court for the villas, nud tho neighbors quickly get acquainted. Young Denver is attentive to Ida Walker and Charles Westmacott to Clara. The doetor is fascinated by the brilliant Mrs. Westmacott and lends his name to advance the cause of woman's rights. CHAPTER IV, V and Vl—Clara is mystified by the half confidences of Charles and her sister Ida. The latter couples the name of Harold Denver with her secret. Mrs. Westma cott surprises Clara with a hint about her nephew and Ida. Harold unexpectedly clinch es it with an avowal that she (Clara) and not Ida is his choice. CHAPTER VII. i i "VENTT TANDEM FEUCITAS." It was just threo days after the doctor and the admiral had congratulated each j other upon tho closer tio which was to unite their two families, and to turn j their friendship into something even . dearer and moro intimate, that Miss Ida i Walker received a letter which caused her some surprise and considerable [ amusement. It was elated from next; door and was handed in by tho red- I headed pago after breakfast. "Dear Miss Ida," began this curious document and then relapsed suddenly into the third person. "Mr. Charles Westmacott hopes that ho may have tho extreme pleasure of a ride with Miss , Ida Walker upon his tandem tricycle. 1 Mr. Charles Westmacott will bring it round in half an hour. You in front. Yours very truly, Charles Westmacott." ; The whole was written in a large, J loose jointed, sclioolboyish hand, very j thin on the up strokes and thick on the i down, as though care and pains had | gor.o to tho fashioning of it. I Strange as was the form the meaning was clear enough, so Ida hastened to her I room and had hardly slipped on her light I gray eycling dress whon she saw the tan dem with its largo occupant at the door. Ho handed her up to her saddlo with a i more solomn and thoughtful face than j was usual with him, and a few moments j later they were flying along the beauti ful smooth suburban roads in the direc- i I tion of Forest hill. The great limbs of j the athlete made the heavy machine | Bpring and quiver with every stroke, j while the mignon gray figure, with the laughing face and the golden curls blow ! ing from under the little pink banded I j straw hat, simply held firmly to her I perch and let tho treadles whirl round beneath her feet. Mile after mile they j flew, the wind beating in her face, tho j trees dancing jjast in two long ranks on | either side, until they had passed round Croydon and were approaching Nor wood once more from the farther side, j "Aren't you tired?" sho asked, glanc- j ing over hor shoulder and turning to- j ward him a little pink ear, fluffy golden curl, and ono blue eye twinkling from j tho very comer of its lid. "Not a bit. I am just getting my j I swing." "Isn't it wonderful to be so strong? j You always remind mo of a steam en gine." ' 'Why a steam engine?" "Well, because it is so powerful and reliable and unreasoning. Well, I didn't mean that last, you know, but—but— you know what I mean. What is the matter with you?" "Why?" "Because you have something on your mind. You havo not laughed once." Ho broko into a grewsome laugh. "1 am quite jolly," said he. "Oh, no, you are not. And why did "Man I have it." said he. "for life?" you write me such a dreadfully stiff let ter?" "There, now," he cried, "I was sure it was stiff. I said it was absurdly stiff." "Then why write it?" 1 "It wasn't my own composition." 1 "Whose then! Your aunt's?" "Oh, no. It was a person of the name i of Slattery." "Goodness! Whq is he?" , "I know it would come out. I felt that it would. You've hoard of Slattery, the author?" "Never." "He is wonderful at expressing liim f self. Ho wrote a book called 'The Se cret Solved; or, Letter Writing Made - Easy.' It gives you models of all sorts . of letters." Ida burst out laughing. "So you ac tually 'copied on©.- "It was to invite a young lady to a picnic, but I set to work and soon got it changed so that it would do very well. Slattery seems never to have asked any one to rido a tandem. But when I had written it, it seemed so dreadfulfy stiff that I had to put a little beginning and end of my own, which seemed to bright en it lip a good deal." "I thought there was something funny about the beginning and end." "Did you? Fancy your noticing the difference in style. How quick you arel I am very slow at things like that. I ought to have been a woodman or game keeper or something. I was made on those lines, but I have found something now." "What is that, then?" "Ranching. I have a ohum in Texas, and he says it is a raro life. lam to buy a share in his business. It is all in the open air—shooting and riding and sport. Would it—would it inconvenience you much, Ida, to eomo out there with me?" Ida nearly fell off her perch in her amazement. Tho only words of which she could think were, "My goodness me!" so she said them. "If it would not upset your plans or change your arrangements in any way." He had slowed down and lot go of the steering handle, so that the groat ma chine crawled aimlessly about from one sido of tho road to tho other. "I know very well Hat I am not clever or any thing of that sort, but still I would do all I can to make you very happy. Don't you think that in time you might come to like me a little bit?" Ida gave a cry of fright. "I won't like you if you run me against a brick wall," said sho as tho machino rasped up against the curb. "Do attend to the steering." "Yes, I will. But tell me, Ida, wheth er you will come with mo." "Oh, I don't know. It's too absurd! How can we talk about such things when I cannot see you? You speak to tho napo of my neck, and then I havo to twist my head round to answer." "I know. That was why I put 'You in front' upon my letter. I thought that it would make it easier. But if you would prefer it I will stop the machine, and then you can sit round and talk | about it." "Good gracious!" cried Ida. "Fancy our sitting face to face on a motionless tricycle in tho middle of tho road and all the people looking out of their windows I at us." ! "It would look rathor funny, wouldn't It? Well, then suppose that we both get off and push the tandem along in front of ; us." "Oh, no; this is better than that." "Or I could carry the thing." i Ida burst out laughing. "That would ! be more absurd still." j "Then we will go quietly, and I will ! look out for the steering. I won't talk j about it at all if you would rather not. i But I really do love you very much, and you would make mo happy if you came j to Texas with me, and I think that per ! haps after a time I could make you happy : tOO." i "But your aunt?" | "Oh, she would like it very much. I can understand that your father might j not like to lose you. I'm sure I wouldn't | either if I were ho. But, after all, Amer ica is not very far off nowadays, and it is not so very wild. Wo would tako a grand piano, and—and—a copy of Browning. And Denver and his wifo would come over to see us. We should be quite a family party. It would bo jolly." Ida sat listening to the stumbling j words and awkward phrases which were whispered from the back of her, but j there was something in Charles West ! inacott's clumsiness of speech which was j more moving than the words of the most eloquent of pleaders. Ho paused, ho stammered, ho caught his breath be tween tho words, and he blurted out in little blunt phrases all tho hopes of his heart. If love had not come to her yet, there was at least pity and sympathy, which aro 'nearly akin to it. Wonder thero was also that one so weak and frail as she should shake this strong man so, should have the whole course of his life Waiting for her decision. Her left hand Was on the cushion at her side. He leaned forward and took it gently in his l wn. She did not try to draw it back trom him. j "May I have it," said he, "for life?" i "Oh, do attend to your steering," said she, smiling around at him, "and don't | say any more about this today. Please don't!" I "When shall I know, then?" I "Oh, tonight, tomorrow—l dont know, j I must ask Clara. Talk about something else." I And they did talk about something I else, but hor left hand was still inclosed in his, and he know, without asking again that all was well. [CONTINUED ON THURSDAY.] ECKLEY CLIPPINGS.
