THE FALSE LOVER.

II think it must be almost time for
him to come now y
Gertrude Fisher glanced up at the
olool, tinny mother-of-pearl. dial,
resting in a tangled mass of gilded
wheat and ivy leaves, beneath an
elaborate glass shade the hour hand
was fast verging on the figure eight
when Gertrude siged softly to herself,
and no more took up the bit of deli
cate needle work with which she was
occupying herself
Gertrude was tall, noble looking
girl, with Jet black hair brushed plain
ly back from her clear, pale face, and
features pure and motionless as those
Of a classic statue. Her dress was of
rich wine colored silk, but very simple ;
and the garnet ornaments that she
wore, set in heavy Etruscan gold,
seemed peculiarly adapted to her
style of beauty.
All the fittings and appointments of
the room around her were elegant and
luxurious, betokening the refnements
of wealth. The carpet was Of soft
pearl gray, with white buds strewn
over it, delicately shaded into crimson,
the walls were gray, panneled with
gold and the furniture was of darkly
veined rosewood, upholstered with
gray velvet: while the pictures, hang
ing from gilded rod which run
around the inner edge of the corncie,
the statuetts on their carved brackets,
and the alabaster vases, filled with
rare trailing ferns and hothouse bios
SONS, where selected with the utmost
taste and care. For Gertrude Fisher
was an heiress, and she had learned
the best and truest way of enjoying
wealth.
The time seemed to pass away very
slowly as she sat there, listening to
the silver tick of the clock, and an
occasional fall of a glowing cinder
from the CRATE into the polished fend-
er below, and waiting anxiously for her
engaged lover to make his appear
ance.
'He is not often so late, as this" )"
thought Gertrude, drawing out her
little jeweled watch, and comparing
it with the clock, with a sort of an ac-
knowledged hope that the mother-of-
pearl dial was too fast But no; the
two timepieces Tailed exactly, and Ger
trude had no refuge but to sight again,
and blame herself for being too partic-
ular. "Of course I cannot expect him
to measure time by the second" she
said. But nevertheless she did feel a
little disappointed Il wonder where
Cecile is," mused Gertrude. Gwen
her merry, unreasoning chat would be
better than this dead silence and lone
illness. 1 suppose she has gone up to
her room for the night"
But Cecile Moore had not gone up

1t is quite evident that the editor
of the Chicago Times, who has beenfor
months publishing letters calling upon
himself to kill certain DR.. johnson,
understands the situation sufficiently
not to lose any benefit to be derived
from the act so far as his paper is
concerned. A reporter of one of the
evening papers called on him and ask
ed him if he had shot DR.. Johnson.
The old man replied: "Young man, do
YOU think / am d---d fool enough
to do it in time forthe evening papers?'

BOYS Do YoU HEAR THAT.--A
New Orleans paper tells of printer
who, when his fellow workmen went
out to drink beer, during the work
ing hours, put in the bank the exact
amount which he would have spent if
he had gone out to drink. He kept
to this resolution for five years. He
then examined his bank account and
found that he had on deposit S521.9 81.
In the five years he had not lost day
from i'll health. Three out Of five OF
his fellow workmen had, in the mean
time, become drunkards, were worth
less as workmen, and were discharged.
The water drinker then bought out the
printing office, went on enlarging his
business, and in twenty years from the
time he began to put by his money
was worth Sl00,000 The story,
whether new or old, teaches a lesson
which every boy and young man
should lay to heart.

"A gawky, saw for the first time,
a schoolgirl going through some OF
her gymnastic exercises for the amuse-
ment of the little ones at home; after
gazing at her with looks Of interest and
commiseration for while, he askeda Il
boy near himift that gal had fits. "No,"
replied the lad, contemptously, chats
gymnastics" "Oh, 'tis, hey?" said the
verdant show long has she had emf"

AT ladies' meeting at Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, reporter was discoy-

shortly returned in the garb Of the
gentler sex and remained through the
meeting without being discovered.

The Grand Duchess Marie, like
the sex in general, carried che day at
the very outset of her welded life by
having the ceremony performed on
Friday, which with the Russians, is
regarded as unlucky day. The Duke
of Edinburgh, although partaking Of
the prejudices which are generally held
against that day, gracefully yieldedhis
wishes to those of the bride.

ne next week, reprinted from it
;suc of June 27, 1926 ):
Meeting of the Three Friends.
Once more welcome, dearest friends,
Here at last our wandering ends,
And though Hope did oft depart,
Oft though Sorrow sped its dart,
Let our grief no more remain,
Since we three now meet again.
Though remote we long have been,
Many toisome day have seen,
Though the burning zone we traced,
Or the polar earth embraced
We have sweets from Friendship caught
Often on each other thought.
Let us seek that cool retreat,
Where we three oft used to meet;
Where beneath it's spreading shade
We have oft together strayed.
And where last with anguished heart,
We sadly tore ourselves apart.
All how altered is the bower
Where we first felt Friendships power
How has Time with ruthless blow,
Laid its vigorous beauties low
Naught but this lone pine remains,
And itsruthess arm sustains.
Are We then that youthful three,
Who reclined beneath this tree,
Then with yerdant foliage crowned,
Now with moss and ivy bound
Not more altered is this pine
Than our looks by wasting Time
Every feature then was fair,
Nor was grief depicted there
Then our sparkling eyes did glow,
Then our cheeks with health did flow;
Then these lamps of Life were bright,
Now they spread glimmering light.
But though mortal strength decay,
Though our beauties waste away;
Though our languid eyes are blear,
And the frosts of age appear;
Still our Friendship bright shall bloom
Far beyond the closing tomb.

NEW PHASES OF THE BROOKLYN SCAN


The most piteous story of domestic woe the
pages of this journal have been forced to
bear for many year is that they carry this
morning. Mrs. TiltOn's testimony before the
Plymouth Committee is Misunderstanding his
tory; and its ingenious candOr is as plain as
its pathos. Whatever men may still say about
the general issue, they will believe this
woman's account of her husbands conduct,
and her own sufferings. That at least Is not
the ingenious effort of cunning guilt. 1t Is a
picture from the life.
Mrs. Tilton absolutely denies all criminality
OF thought of criminality with Mr.. Beecher
She declares that her husband had fire.
quently compelled her, when sick, to
copy, OF from his dictation write confessions,
which she hardly understood, and, in her
despairing condition of mind, cared little
about. Her painful replies to the Committees
questions reveal jealous husband ac-
cusing her of infidelities with differ
ent men and of exertlng sem
sual effect upon all; threatening her
locking her up; declaring himself ashamed
of her when among his fine friends /;
full of selfish exactions; Indifferent to her
wants; cruel in her illness; forcing disrepu-
table women oo'ictJ oohVbmNo
she fed, for peace to the graves OF her chill
dren; avowing to her his right to commit
adultery on his lecturing tours whenever he
chose and describing to her cases of his in
diligence seducing an inmate of the family ;
and yet in all seasons and almost all places
dribbling out his charges of dlshOnOr against
his wife. 1t is horrible, mOnstrous reyela-
ton; and the most skeptical who read It,
with whatever reserve they may still regard
the wifes denals of her own guilt, will not
believe it possible that she has invented this
recital of her husbands.
He decides, meantime, that he has had
enough Of. this Committee He cheerfully
accepted its jurisdiction at the outset APP
peared before it himself, and desired the
evidence on both sides to be given it. But
he now thinks it unfairly constituted, and.
when it calls on him for the originals
of the letters he has quoted, replies with COM
plant that Mr.. Winslow did not come to biz

house for them, and thereby treated him with
less distinction than Mr.. Beec her. Further
more the Committee has no power to compel
the attendance Of witnesses although only
two are needed, Mr.. Moulton and the
originals of Mr.. Beechers letters, both under
Mr.. Tilton's control. Besides, the reports in
the newspapers are not fair and so, since he has
already been arrested, he proposes to have the
law and not Committee of Plymouth
Church control what more he has to
say or show. Undoubtedly MIR. Tilton's
criticism on the composition of the
Committee, has occurred to many fair-minded
men. But he is late in urging 1T; and his
action now suggests fear of what the Com
mittee knows, and a desire to prolong the
scandal and delay decision.
Mr.. f. d. MoultOn is no sooner found under
the hospitable roof of Gen. Butler than he con-
cludes to come homo. There is a tone of blus-
ter in his reported talk that fits i'll with the place
in the public estimation to which his conduct
has assigned him. Surely, if ever it was incum-
bent ON q man who had been meddling in such
matters to stand up1 and tell what be knows,
this is the time. Mr.. Beecher, and MIR. Beecher's
friends appeal to him to speak. But he now
decides that he can only come forward when
Mr.. Tilton unites in the request.l
And Mr.. Tilton has just concluded that he
prefers to go into the courts.
