FREELAND, PA., JUNE 30, 1902.
End of Fourteenth Year.
With today's Issue the Tribune closes
its fourteenth year. The publishers
feel that the occasion should not pass
without a word of thanks to the many
who have stood loyally by the paper
since tho day it made its first appoar
ance, as well as to the many others who
enrolled themselves as patrons in more
recent years.
While we are satisfied that the Tri
bune has given each year full value for
all it has recoived from subscribers and
advertisers, we are not unmindful of the
fact that without the patronage accord
ed us the publishers could not have
made their newspaper what it is today,
and for this substantial recognition of
our efforts we return our full measure of
thanks.
The policy of the past, which has
been to publish a paper that has the
welfare and best interests of Frecland
and its vicinity at heart upon all occa
sions, will continue to be the policy of
the futuro, and with tho co-operation of
the public ID its efforts to claim for the
town the position it is entitled to In tho
county and state tho Tribune will un
doubtedly be as successful hereafter a9
it has in the past.
The first four years of the paper's life
worn passed as a weekly, tho succeeding
eight as a semi-weekly and the last two
as a tri-weekly. For the present tho
tri-weokly will be continued. Should
tho needs of tho town require a more
frequent issue, tho Tribune will bo
found ready to meet tho demand.

"If Judge Chester A. Ballurd of Ilel
ena, Mon., was formerly of College Cor
ners, 0., and would like to meet an old
friend, he will he cordially greeted In
the red parlor. If the conjecture us to
Identity be Incorrect, please send reply
by bearer, as the writer declines to
meet u stranger."
Thalia Lambert, with a thrill half of
fear, half of daring, thrust a colu Into
the uniformed messenger's hand and,
bidding him make haste, slipped be
hind a palm.'
"It's almost like answering a per
sonal," she Bald, half laughing. "What
If It should not be iie? But It must be!
I know that after he married Helen
they moved to Denver. After she
broke off our correspondence I heard
they had gone to Helena. Thank good
ness, If It Isn't Chester Ballard, he
can't- And out who I am!"
Her knees shook under her as a tall,
well formed man of middle age entered
the room and looked around Inquiring
ly. Then she came from behind the
'palm, and these two, who had been
plighted lovers twenty years before,
met once more face to face.
Thalia never was able to recall Just
what was said by either at first. The
unexpectedness of the meeting made
both perfunctory. Then Thalia re
laxed.
"I was determined If it were you that
you should not go out of town until we
hud talked over old times. How Is
Helen? I)ld you bring her with you?"
"I am here alone ou business," he
said, with a grave dignity which seem
ed to reprove her flippant manner. "I
shall he here ten days only at the fur
thest. My mission Is to handle the In
terests of a mining syndicate, and then
I return to Helena. But tell me all
about yourself. Are you still Thalia
Lambert, free?"
Thalia was smarting a little, nero
was the old, masterful manner of the
one man In the world of whom Blie had
ever been afraid. She gave a coquet
tish shrug.
"I am none other than Thalia Lam
bert, and a wouian is always free until
she puts her neck into the marriage
yoke."
He smiled.
That evening they dined together.
The constraint of their first meeting
had worn off. though the Judge had
been told by a mutual friend that Tha
lia was engaged to Stewart Curtlss,
and Curtlss himself, lunching with
Thalia, had told her tliut lier old friend
was now a wealthy and influential
lawyer, likely to be nominated for the
senate.
The orchestra played "Love's Young
Dream" as tliey dallied with their cof
fee after dinner. Judge Ballard smiled
across the tuble at his companion.
"Do you remember all the foolish lit
tle things we used to do In the old
academy days—the notes we used to
write in class?"
"Of course I do. But do you remem
ber the time we got caught? I wrote
you a note—'What time is it? Do you
love me?'—and you wrote on tho mar
gin: 'Half past 10. Of course I do.' And
Professor Foster got hold of It and
wrote on the bottom, 'A pretty time of
day,' and sent It to me."
"Well, the old man was right. Wasn't
it a nice time?"
"Oh, yes," vaguely—"that Is, nice for
the first time."
"Have there been other times, Tha
lia?"
"Why not?" defiantly.
"Surely; many other times —times
and half times and times between
times. That's a woman's record."
The music throbbed in Thalia's veins.
Her throat swelled, but she met his
gaze steadily.
After that they were more or less
formal.
The last night of Judge Ballard's vis-
It came, and It was 10 o'clock when ho
rang the bell of Thalia's flat. Curtlss
In the act of departing almost ran into
him. Thalia stood near her desk, pule
and agltnted.
"I'm sorry Mr. Curtlss went on my
account," said the Judge. "It's not
worth while to spoil your evening by
my brief leavetaking."
Thalia recovered herself with difficul
ty, and her breath was still irregular.
He took both of her hands In Ills mas
terful way and fixed on her tho dark,
powerful look that had always com
pelled both men and women. At the
magnetic clasp a strange calm fell upon
Tlialia. She knew that she would rath
er tell this man the truth and walk
alone the rest of her days than to part
from him with a half lie, acted If not
uttered. She met his searching look
squarely.
"Mr. Curtlss has not gone on your ac
count," she said. "He went on mine."
Judge Ballard regarded her gravely,
it seemed to her almost sternly.
"Let it be only a lovers' quarrel, Tha
lia. Life Is too short to waste 111 trivi
alities."
"It Is not a lovers' quarrel," she said
hotly. "It Is final."
"Don't say that, Thalia. Very few
things are filial in this world."
Tho warning solemnity of his tone
carried a chill. Insensibly she leaned
toward him us If for protection.
"But it Is final," she whispered. "I
have sent him away, und he will not
dure to come back."
Judge Ballard's tall, dignified figure
seemed to grow rigid.
"And why have you sent your prom
ised husband away?" he asked as If
cross examining a witness.
"My promised husband!" gasped Tha
lia. "Why, I've just refusiil him."

lie snatched her In strong arms and
showered on face and hair fervent and
specifically injudicial kisses not pro
vided for in the statutes of Black
stone. Thalia, half drowned in this
lawless onslaught, finally managed to
partially free herself and to pant indig
nantly, "How dare you!"
He only said, "I couldn't help it," like
any schoolboy, but he looked totally un
repentant and remained in dangerous
proximity.
Thalia, her cheeks burning and her
heart thumping,' gasped: "You have no
right to say that! You should have re
membered —your wife!"
"My wife! Thalia, my wife has been
dead for five years."
lie caught her swaying form end
supported her tenderly.
"You inquired about her in such a
way that for the moment I merely said
that I was alone, intending to tell you
about it later. When I asked you if
you were free, you gave mo an evasive
answer, so when I was told on the aft
ernoon of the same day that you were
engaged to Stewart Curtiss I thought
you had deliberately equivocated. I
met hiin here. You said nothing. What
was I to think? Naturally I withheld
my own confidence and got what pleas
ure I could out of the last times I ever
expected to see you. Then, you told
me just now—and—l couldn't help it"
I lis voice deepened to a sonorous
whisper as he paused, but Thalia's
head was bowed low on his breast, and
he felt her quiver.
"Dear, are you ungry?"
No answer.
"Are you angry?"
Silence.
lie deliberately lifted up her face and
devoured it with a look. And then he
put Blackstone to much more confu
sion in the same illegal manner as In
the previous case. The silver chime of
the clock on the mantelshelf struck the
half hour.
Thalia pushed the hair out of her
eyes and laughed.
"What time is it? Do you love me?"
"Half past 10. Of course I do."
A Scotch Ulnar.
The traditional history of the Scotch
regalia ring is of the most tragic, not
to say melancholy, character. It is be
lieved that it was the favorite ring of
Mary Stuart and that after her judicial
murder in Fothoringay castle it was
transmitted to her son. From James it
descended to Charles 1., at whose coro
nation at Scone in 1033 it played a dis
tinct part. Once more did this ill fated
ring figure at an untimely and ill merit
ed death, for, with almost his last
breath upon the scaffold at Whitehall,
Charles bequeathed it to Bishop Juxon
in trust for his sou.
In due course of time the ring came
into the possession of James 11. and
was carried away with him 011 his
flight to the continent. When, however,
he was detained by the fishermen at
Sheerness, the ring, which had been
secreted in the king's underclothing,
only escaped robbery by the luckiest of
mistakes 011 the part of the sailor who
searched him. Thus the ring was pass
ed 011 uninjured to James' descendants
till by the bequest of Cardinal York it
became the property of the reigning
dynasty once more and was by them re
placed among the royal jewels of Scot
land, from which it had been separated
for many a long year.—Good Words.
ne Didn't Say If.
lie was a good little boy, and he
lived not many miles from Boston. He
never disobeyed his mother, he never
called her names when her orders were
not his wishes, and he had the face of
an angel. Next door lived little Rosy,
a girl who proved the proverb nbout
small pitchers. One day Harry was
allowed to go over to play with Rosy,
but with strict orders not to take off
his hat and coat to go In the lvouse ir
Rosy could not come out into the yard.
Rosy could not come out, but would
not Harry take oft his things and play
inside? Harry quoted sadly his moth
er's injunction.
"Your mamma is a silly," said Rosy
crossly.
Harry went home and told his mother
what Rosy had said. "She is a very
naughty little girl," his mother de
clared. "You must never say such a
word."
"No, mamma, I won't," said the duti
ful Harry.
A few days later he was again for
bidden to do ibmething which he great
ly desired to do. "Mamma," said he,
lifting to hers his angelic face, "do you
remember what Rosy said about you?"

Turkish Educational System.
The educational system of the Turks
Is not entirely bad, but is mostly for
religious instruction. The niekteb, or
primary schools, are general and af
ford every boy und girl in the city an
opportunity to learn to read and write
and obtain a knowledge of the Koran.
Such schools are attached to every
mosque in the empire. The ibtidaiyeh,
or secondary schools, afford opportuni
ties for learning geography, arithmetic,
history and the modern languages, but
there are only twenty of these schools
in ull Constantinople for a million and
more of people. The medrcsseh, or col
leges, teach philosophy, logic, rhetoric,
theology and Turkish law and general
ly take the place of the universities
found in other countries. They are the
highest educational institutions main
tained by the Turkish government.
