all advances from scores of suitors.
and patiently awaited his return, feel
ing confidence in his keeping true to
her. So the years passed, and even a
few gray hairs began to show them
selves among her brown tress es, while
her friends no longer pitied but ridi-
culed her for refusing all advances
from other desirable sources.
Lately her hdelity was rewarded.
The lover of her girlhood has returned
from California, bronzed. bearded, and
a millionaire. with wife and twins.-

A TRUE FISH STORY.

All the big and biggest fish aprrsr

went forth to fish and rambled over n

with brook mud, tore his clothing and
hair in underbrush, and at the close he
locked liked volunteer at the close Of
Bull Run. At night he strobe up to
the hotel and exhibited thirteen trout
to the veranda's occupants and related
how easy the trout came to grief, how
he climbed fourteen trees to unhitch
the limo and how inferior the result
with what he usually accomplished.
At that moment boy came mp we'll

Dean StanIey's will has Teen sworn
under $3.50, 1000 Jeraonally, q sum
which will IrobabIy strike c'ergymen
in this country as very large for a
divine to leave behind him. Fortunes,
such as this, were, In former days,
frequently acquired IN the church.
There are to-day families well known in
England wbose rise dates from an an
ccstor's connection with a cathedral
chapter, such as that Of Durham and
Ely, which not only gave = hand
some income to its members, but placed
in their hands splendid patronage,
which they could, and generally, TO do
them justice, did bestow on their rela-
tiycs. In Ireland the case was far
worse. Lord Eormanton leo creAted)
squee ed out Of the Archbishop OF
Cashel, while his cathedral lay In Tnins.
about three million Of dollars, and
numerous similar cases could be cited
Of that eagle eye for the main chance
evinced by these holy men. Dean
+Stanley's has no such taint about il.
He never knew what the want Of
money was, and Whit be left came
from private sources. But the pos
session of such wealth Is in itself a
strong indication Of the prestige Of the
Established Church in England. Il il
thought nothing unusual there for
men Of means TO enter it. Hundreds
Of clergynep, in fact, give to It thrice
and more, what they get from 1t. II
is not uncommon TO find q man with
$4,000 year of his own working,
with parish from which he derives
barely 81 800. In this country, on
the other hand, the clerical profession
is rarely selected by man Of means.
In fact, even In sDch as this, SO, 900
would be deemed a large sum fer .
clergyman to leave behind him, and
whereas In EagIand Tectories and vicar
ages may almost be regarded as cente-s
Of hospitality, and the clarct and sherry
decanters pass round as merrilg at the
board Of prelate or well-to-do psfish
priest as in that Of any wealthy laymsn.
Here, on the other hand, snch deings
would be SO unusual as scarcely to be
regarded as orthodox This state Of
things in England is really due more
to the union of Church with State than
to anything else. BIen Of Dean Stan
ley's stamp and fortune do not enter
the "dissenting." 1t is the prestige Of
the State Church which really attracts
and holds them, and with Its abolition
there will come a marked change in
the social standing and wealth of the
clergy

they again told him not to be afraid; that
they did not intend TO hurt him, ana that
when they had finished their examination
he could go home. They asked him where
he lived. what his name was, and other

they asked how many banks were in II llin-
