* EASTER SUITS 'AND TOP COATS.

In all the years thatwe have been in busi-ness we never were ableto present fl line thatcontained so much ofreal solid worth as theline we now show forEaster, 1904.

Go )d clothes we havealways made—nobodyhas ever made better.

Smart styles we havealways 'shown—nobodyhas ever shown smarter.

Yet for Fine Styles,for Good Service and forreal savings our presentofferings surpass allthat have gone before. Qmmn»mumm*mB.

$IO, $12, $13, $15.At these prices, for instance, we have succeeded in build-

ing into Suits and Top Coats a fuller measure of style andquality than was ever contained in garments at higher pricesin former, years.

The Suits are in Worsteds, Cassimers, Cheviots, Thibets—practically every favored fabric in plain colors, and themost dressy of the season's mixtures.

The Top Coats are mainly in Coverts and Vicunas, indark, medium and light effects, distinctly smart in cut andgotten up with the square, shapely shoulders that gooddressers prefer. "

COAL, FLIBS

In same families, not by reason of cart-lessoess or extravagance; it is simplythe nature of the Coal. ' Good enoughto make smoky chimneys, but not worthanything for heating purposes. Seethat iuch Coal is not used in your house-hold. Buy your Fuel here and It is cer-tain to be good. Regular consumersof our Lehigh Coal and all other gradesnever enter a word of complaint, but ipay their bills promptly. And we con-1starr that a mighty good sign.

Romance of Mary Ply and George

Drugan Ends for Second Time

at Hymen's Altar,

Cupid won another victory a t Port MorrisMonday, and In consequence all tlie neighbor-hood is agog.

The story involves love's young dream, asupposed disillusion, which appeared re al byreason of a divorce action, a long separationand finally a happy reunion in the shape ofa second marrlnge.

Miss Mary Ply is the daughter of EngineerGeorge Ply whose home is at Port Morris.Until something like five years ago the Ply'slived in th« upper port of New "York statewhere the young woman was a reigningbelle. Pretty and winsome to a degree, heradmirers wsre legion. When therefore CharlesDrugan appeared on the scene, paid court tothe dashiDg girl and finally woo her, therewas much ado among the luckless swains.

For A season the young couple lived hap-pily together and then there came a change.Love went from hot to cold, but just wherethe fault lay the gossips were unable to de-termine. At all events the former Miss Plyconcluded that love was a myth and marriagea failure, and accordingly Bought surcease Inthe divorce courts. This waa nearly tenyears ago.

Five years ago George Ply, with his familymoved to Port Morris. Mrs. Drugan, whohad resumed her maiden come of Ply, becamea favorite of the younger Bet. There was nosecret made of the tragedy that hod come intoher life years before, and the impressiongained currency that the young woman hodbeen very much abused. Last week CharlesDrugan, tbe former husband and love of heryouth appeared at Fort Morris. There wasa mwting, and itlp said mutual explanations.The winged cupid grew strong again, and onMonday night the couple were married for asecond time. Rev. A. W. W illever performedthe ceremoriy, and love's dream OB personifiedby Mr. and Mrs. Drugau, will start afreshthe battles of matrimony in the quiet townof Port Morris.

The president signed tliat bill Marcli18, and Colonel Edwards figures, there-fore, that congress will adjourn aboutMay 1.' '

The Wldowtl Will Stay.Soraff time ago Secretary Shaw un-

pointed two widows to temporary clerk-ships In his dennrtmont. Tlie time al-lowed for temporary clerkships hasexpired, but the secretary insists onkeeping tho two widows on the pay-roll.

The civil service commission hasraffed impotetitly at this decision. Ithas quoted precedents to tlie secretaryshowing.bow it is against all kinds ofstatutes for him to Ueop tho two wom-en on the payroll and has ottered tocertify other clerks for the places, butthe secretary calmly refuses to removethe ivomeu.

"They havb four or five childreneach," he said to the commissioners,"and you, enn protest until you areblack In the facc-^-thoy will still holdon. These are the only enses iu whichI hnvo violated these snored rules ofyoura, hut with these little clerkshipsthose women can manage to supporttheir children, mid they will stay thereas long as I tun In olllcc."

George Pollok and Andy Harmjah, twoSlavs, and Conrad - Herdmau were arrestedon Monday by Officer Dehler, charged withbreaking into and entering the home ofWilliam Dittler, McFarian street Theywere taken before Police Justice Gage, whoheard tbe complaint and ordered them lockedup for the night. On Tuesday morning theywere given a hearing and Identified by threeboys, John Edinger, William and Fred Wat-Bon, who said they saw the trio come out ofthe house. They also swore that they hadseen one-man watching outside while theothers wore elsewhere, presumably inside thedwelling, After hearing the testimony Jus-tice Gage committed the accused to thecounty jail to await the action of the grandjury. The three man ware apparently underthe influence of liquor and mado little or ineffort to got away after the crime. Entranceto tho building was affected through a frontwiudow. They ransacked the house, turningout drawers and putting tbo place very muchto the bad. No articles have been missedhowever, and tha affair looks more liko thework of a gang of drunks than an attempt toburgjarize the houso.

The hat of nat-ural tint panaina Is simply trimmedwith black velvet ribbon and a mon<ture of summer flowers.

Brown M StylUh Color.Brown In every shade will be popular

In the summer and spring clothes;says the Ladles' Home journal. Thismeans thut the pongee und shantungsilks and the washable cotton mate-rials, such as India* linen, lintistG andbolland linen, will, continue In favor.There are many, new names given tothese new colorings in brown, but inreality they are simply ecru, creuui uudthe dark tones of brown. Brown Is agood color in all its shades for Rum-mer, for general wear, as It does notfade, neither does it show the dust.For these same reasons the greens andthe mixed Scotch tweeds ore liked.

For tho more dressy gowns, both forthe street and the house, the pnlo steelgrays will be used add also the dullpastel shades of green.

Colored slip linings are worn withthe open meshed materials, and thecolor of tiie slip lining is brought outton stronger note in the trimming ofthe gown. , The changeable shot taffe-'tSB are used for lining' the loose, openweaved brown and-blue voiles and.hopeackingB> aud for the trimmings ofthese gowns nurrow plaid silks combin-ing the coloring of the .lining and. thomaterial tire used. In the making.upof an open weaved blue bop sacking orof; one of the new striped transparentwoolen materials in blue a dull greenlining would bo effective. ,

The. Sailor Hat.There are several new sailor shapes,

running from stiff, narrow brimmedEnglish models to flat French "cano-tiers.'' Imported by a Fifth avenuemodiste tor'her Buster opening was aFrench sailor whose crown and brimwere both wider than they were long.The brim was of red taffeta edged withrod velvet, the crown of. coarse redstraw. Around the crown was drawna. garter bund, of red velvet ribbon,forming an ' elongated- knot in front.Under the hdui was fastened a redcock's f oathor plump.

Whether trimming Is arranged Ughor low Is a matter of choice. Some-times the entire decoration of a hatdroops from under the brim. In'othercases considerable height Is obtained

mHOUSEHOLD.

Comforlalile Sick Bed.When sli'Uuesti comes, an unfortu-

nately It does, it may be made easierfor the one who cures for the patientif the following Is observed in makingthe bed:

Three sheets should be in use at atime—the upper, the lower and thedruw, which is pluced directly underthe patient. Blankets of good qualitymake the best covering, with a lightweight counterpane at the top.

There should be two large pillowsand as many small pillows as the exi-gencies of the case require. If a rubbersheet is necessary, spread It smoothlyon the mattress. Put on the lowersheet and pin it into place on the underslde of the mattress, so that the pa-tient may not work it up Into wrinkles.

Fold the draw sheet and pin it acrossthe middle of the bed so that it willextend from the patient's shquldera towell below the hips. Put on the up-per sheet, leaving It a little loose forthe feet and long enough to turn overthe blanket at the top.

The blunkets need not be so long asthe sheet,- but should be long enoughto tuck around the patient's neck. Thecounterpane may be of the same lengthas the sheet and left long enough tofold over.

In changing the bed roll the patientto one side; putting one hand againstthe shoulder and the other ngninst thehip. Roll the lower sheet up in length-wise folds against the patient, put onthe fresh sheet and the draw sheet andput In plftce. Protect the patient withthe upper sheet ana roll him over onto tho spread out portion of the cleansheets. Pull the lower sheet smoothand pin. Put a clean upper sheet onover the soiled one, tuck. In the cleanone and remove the soiled one.

Improved ClotJieM Drier.Whether it Is a small washing hung

on a short lino in the back yard of acity house or a long string of garmentsstretched from'poie to pole and bracedat the center by props to keep theclothes from dragging in the dirt It isno pleasant task to reach up and at-tach the pieces one by one to the line.As no arrangement has heretoforebeen introduced to elevate tbejine theentire length after the washing has

been hung up, the. supports must beelevated until tile line is barely withinreach, und so the woman goes on weekafter week pulling-the line down and.pinning the clothes fast. Now, how-ever, tlie inventor hos come to her re-lief with the clothes drier bere pre-sented, which Is capable of such ad-justment as to bring' the'llni withineasy roncn while the washingis beinghung out In fact, this line supportcould.be lowered uluip'st'.to the groundIt so desired. The central post is firm-ly fixed In the ground and is surround-ed by a sliding frame in which thebranching Hue supports are secured.On one side of the central post Is ashaft oh which ropes are wound, withthe fiee ends leading over a pulley inthe top of the post and down to thesliding frame.' By the aid of a crankwith which to revolve the shaft andwind up or unwind the ropes theframe can be lowered to a convenientuoBltlon until the washing is hung upand then elevated to the highest point,out of rench of the ground, there to re-.niKin until the clothes' dry and areready for lowering again to be placedIn" tlie basket for ironing.

CodSsli With Cheene. .This may be made of the' boiled fresh

cods or from thcdcsslcated salt fish.For the former take a pound of freshfish, pick in small pieces, put In asaucepan, cover with cold water, andbring, slowly to a boil. Drain the ilBhand leave In. the colander while youradko nrcreaiu dressing, using two ta-blespoonfuls each of butter and flour,a cup and a lmlf,of^rallk and a littlecayenne Butter a casserole and placea layer of Qsh In the bottom..

.Housekeeping, tnkcn'tke wrinkles butof n cloth skirt or jacket, and restoredthe fresh look byv hanging them over aline in the ..bathroom, then closing allthe doors and windows, turning on thehot water and letting It run till theroom was full of steam. Let theclothes hang undisturbed In the vaporfor two hours, then open the room andlet the garments dry in the fresh air.You will be surprised and gratified tosee how they will be renovated by thissimple process.

COHHENTABY PREPARED BYREV. D. M. STEARNS.

[CojjjrlgM. MKH, by A._^r:.J> F r o Aiaocintlon.]

This lesson is recorded iu Mutt, xviand Luke ix. us well us lu Murk, andcontains the first particular predictionconcerning the rejection, the death andthe resurrection of the Christ. LukesuyB that He was uloue, praying, andUis disciples with Him, when He askedthem this question. Whom do men saythat I am 7 He wus evidently leadingup to the following question: Whomsay ye that I am? The people bad va-rlouBopuilons about Him, some think-ing Him to be John the Baptist andothers Elijah or Jeremiah or one of theother prophets, but Peter, answeringfor himself, said, "Thou art the Christ,the Son of the living God" (Matt xvi,10). To this Jesus answered, "Blessedart tliou, Simon Burjonu, for flesh andblood hath not revealed it unto theo.but My Father which is In heaven"(Matt, xvi, 17).

Man cannot of himself know God orrecognize Christ God only can revealHimself to auy one, and this Ho doesby His Spirit, but there Is no hin-drance to our knowing God except onour part, for all who will may acquaintthemselves with Him (Job xxll, 21;John vl, 87). In. the words following,spoken by our Lord, "Thou art Peter,and upon this rock I will build Mychurch," If our teachers had told usthat our Lord said, "Thou are 'Petros,'and upon this 'petrn' I will build Mychurch," and bad also told us that"petros" signifies a piece of rock, astone, while "petra" signifies a solidrock, a ledge (according to any Greekdictionary), how much idle talk andcontroversy w e might have been savedfrom concerning'the church being builtupon such a piece of stone, a rollingstone, as Peter. >

Did your heart ever say, VThank God,neither the wisdom nor the power ofhell shall ever 'prevail against thechurch of Christ?" As Peter was priv-ileged to open the door to the Jews atPentecoBt and to. the gentiles in thehouse of Cornelius (Acts 11; x; xl) wecan see his use of the keys, but wemust bear In mind that while thekingdom Includes the church thechurch i s not the kingdom. Whoeverheartily believes that Jesus Is theChrist and understands it cannot butrejoice to be used to the utmost to helpcomplete the church and hasten thekingdom. ' /

The Jewish leaders having rejectedHim as their Christ or Messiah andhaving determined to kill Him, the dis-ciples are 'forbidden to declare to anyone that He is the Christ He then de-clares plainly that not only have theelders, chief priests and scribes reject-ed Him, but He Is to sutler manythings at their hands and be killed bythem at Jerusalem (Matt *vl, 21), butthe third day He will rise again.When He, the third time, told -themthat He was to die and rise again Hetold them more fully of His; Bufferingsand also the manner of His death; thatHe would be mocked mid scourged andcruclned(Matt. xvll. 23; xx, 18), Theydo not receive His sayings, and impul-sive Peter says that It must not ko.According to Mart, xvi, 22, Peter said,"Be it far from Thee, Lord (margin,pity Thyself); this shall not be untothee." Frorh this rejection of the crosson to Peter's denial be seems to be In-creasingly out of fellowship, but thelove of Christ was unchanged towardhim (John. xlli. 1). The Lord Jesustold him that1 now be'was representingSatun and.not God. > How strange thatfrom'the same mouth may come bless-ing and cursing, sweet water and bit-ter (Jas. ill. 8-12), but Peter, althoughlaved, was not yet a Spirit filled man.

There was much of Peter, When weare Spirit filled' self Is reckoned dead,and the Lord Jesus alone has the rightof way In us, and Gal. II, 20, Is our ex-perience. - - y • '• ' •

He now called the people to Him andgave them a message as well as thedisciples. I will quote It from Lukeix, 23,. for the sake of one word notgiven by the others, "If any man willcome after Me Igt him deny himselfand take up his cross dally and followMe." This certainly mean's followingfully, like Caleb and Joshua, and notfollowing afaV off like Simon Peter; notmerely denying something to oneself,but actually denying one's own selfand treating it as dead and buried.The cross-never suggests flowers or Jetor jewelry, but always prolonged suf-fering, daily dying (II Corliv, 11; Bom.ylll. 30). The saying concerning losingor saving one's life was often used byour Lord. See two other occasions InMatt X, 80-, John i l l , 25. There Is thepresent and there is the future of gloryor of torment. To Insist on pitying andpampering and Indulging and livingunto Belt In this present life may meaneternal poverty and torment and surelywill mean that If the precious blood orChrist is despised and not trusted in.

To wean us from self and presentthings and lead us to seek treasure inheaven and bare our.affections thereHe sets before us His glory and Hiskingdom, assuring us of His desire tohave us share It and that He has givenIt to us (John xvii, 22, 24; I John 111, 2,8; Phil, lit, 20, 21). We must distin-guish between our meeting Him In theair as He leaves His Father's throne toreturn to earth to restore nil things ofwhich the prophets have spoken andour return with Him when He shall bemanifest'In His glory to sit on thethrone of His glory to judge the na-tions (I Thess. iv, 10-18; Acts ill, 20, 21;Col. Ill, 4; Matt, xxv, 81; Rev. Ill, 21).It will well repay to look up every ref-erence prayerfully. , Each one for him-self must search.the Scriptures and re-ceive all meekly. -'

CHILDREN'S QUESTIONS.

Little folks nre wimt to lisle mostterribly euiUarrnssin^ questions :ittimes, and tlie more iutdlisi'nt tli«children nre tlfo more they will wantto know, for tht- iit-tlvo lltlU1 bruin ofa clever child is iihviiyH in-kin:,' thewhy and wherefore "f overyOimK- *-

lu dealing with children's iiucstionsbe careful to discriminate betweenthose wlilch nre the uuteouii; merely ofa childlHh love of talking.

The hitter are often best dealt withby saying quite gently, "If you thlnha little, dear, you will be able to an-swer tbut for yourself."

To questions of the former class re-ply if possible as curcfully as youwould to an ndult questioner.

If the matter be beyond the child'sunderstanding or unsuitable for expla-nation to oue of tender years, don'tmake any foolish or evasive answer.Say simply: "I cannot explain that toyou uow, for you are not old enough tounderstand it. By and by, when youare older, if you come and ask nit?again then I will do my best to tellyou what you want to know."

If parents would spenk thus to theirchildren iustoad-of snubbing or laugh.hits at their questions, they would keeptheir confidence and by and by wouldbe referred to for information whichboys and girls arc fturc to want andwhich is best learned from a father'sor a mother's lips.

Yesterday Surrogate Fitzgerald appointedGeorge Leask of the banking firm of GeorgeLeask & Company, Kew York, temporaryadministrator of the estate, fixing his bondat »»,000,000. The, personal estate amountsto about *3,000,000 and consists almost

ntirely ot stocks and bonds. Mr. Leask hadto give bond In double that sum. Incidentallyit may be mentioned that this is the secondlargest bond ever .filed in the Surrogate's

ffice.. The other was for f7,OfHI,O00 in theRice wUl contest. Security for Administra-tor Leask was furnished by the United StatesFidelity and Guaranty Company.

Mr. Hoagland died at trie Sherman SquareHotel, January 80. By the terms of his willthe major portion of lus large estate was leftto a brother, nephews and neices. Mr.George Richards jr., it a grand-nephew of thedeceased, and was not mentioned in the will,fie now flits this protoBt ogaiuBt tho probat-ing of the will on the ground that undue in-fluence was used with Mr. Hoagland, causinghim to entirely Ignore the contestant.

ASSASSIN'S WORK.

Former Doverite Murdered By ManWho Thought He Had a Grievance.

The death of David L. "Wlldrlck atCarthage, Mo., March 28, an accountof which was published in'The Era ofApril 1, was due to a bullet fired bya man drunken with liquor and labor-ing1 under the apprehension that Wild-rick had done him an irreparable injruylncauslnghls dlsmissal from thepowdevworks where both had been empolyed.The alleged murderer is Elmer Bow-era. The body of the dead manwas brought to Dover for intermentMonday.

According: to a JoDltn. Mo., paper,Mr. Wildrlck since last December hasbeen employed as superintendent otthe Independent Powder plant. OnMarch 20 a trunk belonging to Super-intendent Wlldrick was broken openand a sura *of money taken. Bowerswas suspected and it resulted in hisdischarge. On Monday, March 28,Bowers, who had been drinking, lefthis boarding house Baying he was goingto the powder plant. He walke^. di-rect to the office, The men, several ofwhom were about, paid him no atten-tion until they heard a revolver shotand turning saw Bowers with a smok-ing revolver1 in his hand and saw Her-bert Tolley, another of tho company'semployees, running into the woods.

At the sound of the shooting: Mr.Wlldrick and his assistant, E. E. Craw-ford, ran to the scene and ffs theystepped into view Bowers fired, hittingCrawford, who fell, shot through theback, the bullet penetrating his lung.Bowera then fired at Wildrlck who Hadalso turned to set out of harm's way,and was shot in the back.

The men who had seen the shootingthen closed In and asked Bowers tosurrender liis sun, which he refusedto do.and threatening to shoot anyonewho molested him. Miss 'EmmaTenney, who was employed as a book-keeper, asked the man to give her therevolver. He refused and backingaway from the crowd started, towardCarthage. The people then gave theirattention to tbo two wounded menand physicians were summoned. Theywore conveyed to St. John's Hospitalat Joplin, Mo., at which place Mr. Wild-rlck died on Wednesday morning-. -

Bowers after leaving the plantwalked toward Carthage and wasovertaken by a messenger who wasgoing; after a dootor. He asked for n-Ide and after delivering his .revolver,

a watch, and a sum of money, wasdriven .into the town, where ho gavehimself ua to the sheriff with the sim-ple Statement that he hail killed twomen. •

David L. Wildrlck was GB years ofjje.1 He came to Dover from Newark

about 1883 and was employed as a ma-chinist at the Morris County Machineand Iron Company's shops. Later heloft and went to work at the AtlanticDynamite Works at Kenvtl, leaving in1893 to accept a position at Emporium,Pa., where he stayed two or threeyears. In 1902 he located at York, Pa.,but a little later returned to Dover,where he stayed until December of1903, when he. secured the position atCarthage, Mo..1

Mr. Wildrlok was married to MissUrsula. Gage.of this town, who withtwo son's, Raymond and Harold, sur-vive him. The deceased was at onetime a member of the Common Counciland was well known.

"Ho uuj;lit to soout there," ho suid mill KIIIIUU his lu-iidsadly. "I duu't rui-kiiii I'lultvlllu's linytoo spry for Unit JOIIIIK man. Kivi!yuars he's be'n iierc. \VW1, It's a £<>oitthing for us, but I uucsa II uin't raiet-ly liigU life for him." lie kicked u Mirkoat of Ills way impatiently. "Xow,where'd thut imp run to?" lie grimbled.

The Imp was lying under the t-mirhouse stops. WlKMi tlio sound of Martin's footsteps had pnusud uwuycrept cautiously from her hiding JJand stole through the mim-ooiui'd gmmto tho fence opposite the hotel. Hershe stretched herself flnt In tlie weed*and took from the tangled HIIISSCH olher hulr, where It was tied withstring, a "rolled up, crumpled slipgreasy paper. With this iu her lingersshe lay peering under the fence, hefierce eyes fixed uuwinkingly on tlieditor of tho Herald.

The Btreet ran flat and gray in tlislowly gathering dusk straight to thewestern horizon, where the sunset em-bers wore strewn in long, glowing, darkred Btrcaks. The maple trees wereeloan cut silhouettes against tlio palerose nnd pearl tints of the slty above,and a tenderness seemed to Hliiinnier inthe nir. Tho editor often vowed to himself he would wuteh no more sunsetIn Plnttvillc. Ho-thought tney weremaking him morbid. Could ho hnvishnrcd them It would havo been dif-ferent.

His long, melancholy face grew Iongev and more •melancholy In tlio twi-light, while Wllllnni Todd patientlywhittled near by. Plattvllle lind oftendiscussed the editor's habit of silence,nnd possibly the reason Mr, Hnrklesawas such a quiet man was thnt therewas nobody for him to talk to; but hishearers did not agrno, for the popula

' tlon of Curlow county was a thing ofpride, being greater than that of sev-eral bordering counties.

A bent figure canie slowly down thestreet, nnd William Todd liaileil itcheerfully. "Evening, Mr. Fisbee."

"A good evening, Mr. Todd," an-swered the old mnn, pausing. "Ah, air.HarklcsB, I was looking for you." Hehnd not seemed to be looking for any-thing beyond the boundaries of his owndreams, bat he nppronched Hurkles*,tugging nervously nt soino papers in

- Ills pocket. "I hnvo completed ray notesfoi our Saturday edition. It was <lulteeasy, sh There is ruucu doing."

"Thnnkyou, Sir. Flsbee," said Hurlt-Iess as he took the manuscript, "iluvcyou ilnlslied your paper on the earlierChristian symbolism? I hope the Her-aid may have the honor of printing it."This v, as a form they used.

"I shall be the recipient of honor,sit," returned Flsbee. "Your kind offerwill speed my work; but I fenr, Mr.Harklcss, I very much fear, thnt yourkindness alone prompts It, for, deeplyus I desire It, 1 cannot truthfully saythut my essays appear to increase ourchculatlon." He made nn odd, trou-bled gesture as foe wenton: "They donot seem to read them here, althoughMr Martin assures me that ho enre-

, fully rcilcruses my article on Chaldean. decoration whenever ho rearranges his

' exhibition windows." Ho ploddod on a* few pnt»es, then turned irresolutely.

"Whnt is It, Klsboo-?" asked HnrUloas.FIsbco stood for n moment ns though

( nbont to speak; then he smiled faintly,shook his head nuS wont Ills way.Haiklcss waved his band to him Infarewell nnd, drawing a pencil nnd npad from his pocket, proceeded to In-

j u r e his eyes In the waning twilight by~tho editorial perusal of the items his

staff had Just left In his hands. Heglanced over them_ meditntlvely, rank-ing alterations here'and there.

Tho last one Flsbeo had written nsfollows:

Miss Sherwood of Rouen, whom MissBrlscoc knew at the Misses Jennings' fin-ishing school in New York, is a guest ofJudge Brlscoo's household.

Flsbee's Items were written. In Ink.There was a blank space beneath thelast At the bottom of the page some-thing hnd been scribbled In pencil.Hnrklcss vainly tried to decipher it;but the twiyght hnd fallen ton deep,and (ho writing was too faint, so hestruck a match and held It close to tliepaper The notion betokened only nlanguid Interest, But when he caughtsight of the first of the four subscrib-ed lines ho sat up straight In his chair,ivtth a sharp ejaculutlon. At the bot-tom of Flsbee's page was written Ina dululj feminine hand of a typo he

,hud not seen for yenrs: . •"The time has :come/' the walrus ontd,

"To talk of many-things— .' Of shoes and ships nfid sealing wax

, And cabbages and klnes."He put' the paper in ills pocket aud

set off rnpidly'down the'viilnge street.At his departure William Todd lookedup quickly. Then he got upon his feet,

ciin lores.

From the first bend of the road,vUcrc it loft the town and became

bi« honor and at the beheat of TomMeredith, he knew.

Thuru wore (ither pivtty ladioH be-Bides Mrs, Vim Skuyt in the launchload from tht! yutht, but HK they touuhi«l tin? pier, pi'iHty (jflrls or pretty worn-cii or Jovial g(>iitleuicn, all were over-looked In the wild siTiimhle the wllvgmen made for their hero. They halehim forth, set him on high, bore him ontheir shoulders, .shouting "Skal teViking!" and carried him up the wooded bluff to the casino. He heurd Mrs.Van Skuyt Bay: "Oh, we're uBed to it.We've put In at several other pluceiwhere he had friends!" He remember-ed the wild progress >hey made fo:him up the slope thut morning at Winter Harbor—how the people looked onnnd laughed and clapped their hands.But at tlie veranda edge he had no-ticed a little form disappearing arouuda corner of the building, u young girlrunning away as fust as she could."See there," he suid as the tribe sethim down; "you have frightened thepopuluce." And Tom Meredith hadstopped shouting long enough to an-swer: "It's my little cousin, overcomewith cinoLiou. She's been countingthe hours till you came—been hearingubout you for a good while. She hasn'tbeen able to talk or think of anythingelse. She's only fifteen, nnd the cruclamoment la too much for her. The greatHarklcss has arrived, and she has fled.'

But the present hour grew on liiinas he leaned on the pasture bars. Ithad been a reminiscent duy with himbut suddenly his memories sped, andthe voice (hut was singing Schubert's'Serenade" across the way touchedhim with tbo urgent personal appealthat a prenont beauty had always heldfor him. It was a soprano and withouttremolo, yet en mo to bin ear with acertain tremulous sweetness. It wassoft and slender, but the listener knewit could be lifted with fulluess andpower If the singer* would. It spokeonly ofthought

A woman's vntcc singing Schubert's"Serenade" came to him.

(after some indecision) a country high-way, called the pike, rather than aproud city boulevard, a pathway ledthrough the fields to end at some pas-ture bars opposite the brick house.

John I-IarklCRs wns leaning on thepasture bars. Tho stars were wan aridthe full moon shone over the fields.Meadows and woodlands lay quiet andmotionless under tbo old, sweet mtir-vel of ii June night. Iu the widemonotony of the flat lands there some-times comes 11 feeling that the wholeearth is stretched out before one. To-

ht it Beemed to lie BO, iu the pathosof silent beauty, passive and still, yetbreathing an antique message, sad,mysterious, reassuring. But there hadcome a divine melody adrift on the air.Through the open windows it floated.Indoors some one struck a peal of sil-ver chords, like a* harp touched by alover, ami a woman's voice was lifted.John llurkless leaned on the pasturebars and listened with upraised headand parted lips.

'To thy chamber window roving?, lovehath let! my feet."

The Lord sent manna to the childrenof Israel In the wilderness. Hurklesshad boen live years in riattvllle, and awoman's voice singing Schubert's "Ser-enade" came to him nt last as he stoodby tlie piiHture burs of Joiics' field audlistened and rested Ids dazzled eyeson the big white face of the moon.

lion- long bad it been since he hadheard a soiig or any discourse of musicother than that furnished by tlie Plutt-vllle band? Not thut he had no tasto

n^brass band. But music that heloved always gave him VA\ ache or de-.ight and the twinge of reminiscences

of old sny days gone forever. Tonighthis memory leaped to tho last day of

June gone seven years to a room-ng when tho little estuary waves

twinkled In the bright sun about theboat In which he sat, the trim launchhat brought a cheery party ashorefrom their schooner to the cnslno land-ng at Winter Harbor, far up on theilnlnc const.Tonight he paw the picture as plainly

ns if It were yesterday. No reminis-cences had risen so keenly before hisyes for years. Pretty Mrs. Van Skuyt

sitting beside him—pretty Mrs. VanSkuyt nnd her roses — what hnd be-ome of-her? He snw the crowd of'rlends wnltlnp on the pier for their nr-'ivnl, the dozen Or so emblazoned clnss-intea (it wns in the time of brilliantnnnels) who sent up a volley of col-

ege cheers in his honor. How plninly.ho dour aid, young faces rose up beforohn tonight, the men from whose livesic hfld slipped! .Donnut nnd'jolllest of

When the song was ended he struckthe rail he leaned upon n sharp blowwitli his open hand. There swept overhim a feeling that he had stood precise-ly where he stood now on such a nighta thousand years ago; had heard thatvoice aud that song and been moved bythe voice mid tlie song and tlio nightlust as he was moved now. He hadlong kmnvn himself for n sentimental-it. He had almost given up trying to

cure himself. And he knew. himselffor a born lover. He hnd ahvnys bGenIn love with some one. In his earlierouth his affections had been so con-

stantly Inconstant that he finally enmeo settle with his self respect by rec-

ognizing in himself a flue constancyhat worshiped one woman always. It

was only the shifting Image of her thatchanged. Somewhere, (he dreamed,whimsically indulgent of the fancy,yet mocklDg himself for It) there was agirl whom he lind never seen who wait-ed till he should come. She was every-hing. Until he found her he could not

help adoring others who possessed lit-le pi.eces «nd suggestions of her— her

brilliancy, tier courage, her short upperlip, "like u curled rose leaf," or herdear voice or her pure profile. He haduo recollection of any lady who hadquite her eyes. He had never passedt lovely stranger on tho street In theild days without a thrill of delight andwarmth. If he never saw her againud the vision hnd only lasted for theime it takes a lady to cross the side-

walk from a shop door to a carriageie wus always a little in love with her

because she bore about her somewhere,ns did every pretty girl he ever saw,a suggestion of the faraway divinity.One (toes not pass lovely strangers inlie streets of Plattvllle. Miss Brlscoeivas pretty, but uot nt all iu the way:lmt Hnrkless dreamed. For live years:he lover in him that had loved so of-en had been starved of all but dreams.

Only nt twilight and dusk in the sum-mer, when strolling he caught sight ofn woman's skirt far up the villagetreet, half outlined In the dnrknessnder the cathedral arch of meeting

branches, this romancer of petticoatscould sigh a true lover's sigh and, ifie kept enough distance between, lly a

yearning fancy tlint his lady wanderedhere.

Ever since his university days theimage of her had been growing moreud more distinct. He had completelylottled Ills mind as to her appearanceind her voice. She was tall, almost tootall, he was sure of that; and .out ofIds consciousness there had grown aweet nnd vivacious young face that he

knew waa hers. Her hair was lightbrown, with gold lusters (ho reveled inhe gold lusters on the proper theoryhat when your fancy is painting aIcture you may its well go In for the

ivhole thins iiml make It sumptuous),nd her eyes were gray. They were

rery earnest, and yet they sparkled nndlauglie'd to him compnntoimbly, olidsometimes he smiled hack upou lier.The IJndine danced before him throughthe lonely years, on fair nights In Iliawalks aud came to sit by jits lire onvlnter evenings when he stared alone,t the embers.And tonight, hero In Plattvllle. he

lienrd i\ voice he had waited for long,e'that his tickle memory told him he

lind never hrnrtl before. But, listening, jie know belter—he had heard It long !go, though when and how he did not :

know, as rich and true nnd ineffablyender ns now; He thi'cw a «op to his?oiumon sense. "Miss Sherwood Is nIHtlj thing" (ilie Imago was so surely•flJli. "with n bumpy forehead ancLspoc-ncles," ho said to' himself, "or else aprovincial young lady with big eyes toose at yon" Then he felt the ridicu-ousness of looking after his common

sense on n moonlight night in June;also, lie knew tlint he lied.'

Dear Mir : The cheapest thing In the wn;of sending anything over the world ispostage s'amp ; and Iho cheapest way to shoe!water is paint.

They do stuff it out in the can ;. but not o:the house. They make more gallons to eelor to buy; more money to pay for paintmore money to pay for putting it on ;good deal more money to pay for putting iion ; but no moro beauty; more rust; decaydisappointment; loss,
