IN t
his compeers to address a few con 1 5,
teous words to her occasionally, IS al
felt it to be an effort of politeless, as,
wondered bitterly how she could ha,B
been such a fool-how she could ha 5rt
been so blind. II
Poor Madge! 1t was we'll for he
that Aunt Phemy bided her time =
the sunny chamber at home betPa
still that she had put her tiny Il
finger into the wheel of Madge's ~
tunes and given it an impetus y
way; for the day came before ldSg
when Mr. Schenck could maintain lis
assumed role no longer, when Madge
found out that Miss Hope Dorr was
his own cousin, and when Aunt
Phemy received from Boston the fol~
lowing note:
"OH, YOU DEAREST AUNTY Il
know you will open your eyes so wide
you can't half shut them again, and
you will say all sorts of bitter-sweet
things to your dear, bad, weak minded
girl: but, aupty, can't help it. l
know said | never, never would, but
| don't mind that. I've fallen awfully,
desperately in love, and some time |
am going to be married-oh. Aunty
Fee to Mr. Schepck There Your
own
sMADGE."
And Aunt Phemy both laughed
and cried; but Jack turned somer>
sault when SIX months after, he read
the marriage notice in New York
paper. And Madge found letter
waiting for her on her return from tie
bridal tour, in which was copied, in a
big round hand, the last two lines Of
''IIighland Nora, and the significant
and emphasized phrase beneath
them; - never will
am afraid he never was invited to
The Birches.
LUCK THAT NEVER FAELED.-A
correspondent of the New York
Herald has been interviewing an
acquaintance Of Hayes, who tells this
anecdote of the Presidents luck I'll
consider HIM the luckiest man in
America. He is Fortunes darling
ueyer saw an indication that he
wanted position, but it has some how
always seemed to come to HIM. He
has always got just what he wanted
and has been in exhalted positions all
his life He is a man of destiny.
He believes implicitly in his own
good fortune, and we'll be may.
There is quaint vein Of superstition
in his character. [ suppose we are
all superstitious, more or less, if we'll
only admit it. He told a certain gen
eral not long ago that be had often
noticed that soldiers could never
fight so we'll the morning after they
had seen the moon over their lett
shoulder if any body called their
attention to it In the big fight for
the Goyernorship in 1867, when the
result hung in balance for days, and
men on both sides were wild with
excitement, Hayes was perfectly calm,
and when he was telographod that he
had been elected Governor of ths
State by 1900 voteshe did not appear
surprised. Several days afterwards,
when he met friend, be said to him
that be had known for days that he
was to be elected, because one night
he was passing the Cincinnati Gazette
office and he happened to look up and
saw the new moon over his right
shoulder. 4 knew then vas cleo
ted said he, and he added, che only
time I ever saw the moon really
crooked over my left shoulder was the
night before was shot in battle l
could give you some more stores to
illustrate this superstition, but
$50 on I wish you would "No; it
might ipjure him among people who
don't understand him. We mustn't
allow the world 10 know all the weak
nesses of great man" "Tbat
supreme confidence in his own good
fortuue-does it always inspire him 2"
always His good luck has never
failed him and he has learned to be-
lieve in it implicitly.
RAISING A DoUBT.-The New ork
Tribune is worried over the refusal of
the members of the Grand Army Of
TIA Rannhlic in Raltinnnre to decnrate
