Myrtle and Reginald.

"What do YOU think. MyrtleP"

"What do you think, Myrtle?"
81 hardly know what to think, Regi-
nald," replied the girl, illumined with
the radiant light of love, as she turned
in response to Reginald Simpsons
question and looked at him with the
beautiful, tender, calf-like look of first
and only love. 81 only know that,
whatever my father may say, whatever
he may do, my love for you will never
falter nor fail; my trust in the nobility
Of your nature will be steadfast as the
mighty rock of Gibralter, that filings
back in scorn from its -buttressed
base the mighty pillows that are ever
beating against its solid sides in their
mad, impotent fury.
When Myrtle got we'll under way she
was pretty fair talker. She was fair,
slender girl, with the lustrous brown
eyes that one sees SO often in Bramah
hens, and complexion that never cost
less than 81 per box As she stood in
the parlor of her fathers palatial resi-
dence this balmy June evening, her
hand placed trustingly in that of Regi-
maid, while her face almost touched his
as they spoke the words quoted above,
the picture was indeed pretty one.
You arc sure that he has heard all!"
asked Reginald, in solemn, pleading
tones.
Dead certain, replied the girl. "You
can bet on this, darling"
At this moment the sound of foot
steps was heard. Myrtle ran to the
window and peered anxiously out into
the yard.
"He is coming" she said, in fright
ened tones, land you must confess all,
and trust to his mercy"
Il guess you are right, sis" replied
Reginald
In moment George w. Hathaway,
the merchant prince, entered the room.
Reginald at once went up to him.
Mr.. Hathaway" he said, 81 have
come here tonight to tell you frankly
that last Sunday morning l went out to
the race track. You know that Myrtle

Dearborn-ayenue love that opposition

have plghted our troth. do not seek
to defend my conduct of last Sunday.
/ know It is wrong to visit race track
at all, and especially on Sunday. But
1t seemed to me more noble, more
manly, to tell you the exact truth"
so you we're out TO the track, Sun
day. said the old man, his face assum-
ing sad, panied expression.
Yes. sir"
."Ahl that was indeed wrong. But |
step with me into my library. This is |
8 serious matter, involving, perhaps,
the future happiness of my only child''
and as he spoke the merchant hastily |
wiped away a pearly tear ths. hung
trembling on the lower lid off his off |
eye.
The two men stepped into the libra
ry, Mr.. Hathaway closing the door as
they entered. Reginald felt that the
worst would soon come. Seating him
self in an easy chair. Mr.. Hathaway
looked earnestly at Reginald for q mo-
ment. Then he spoke up suddenly:

Yes, sir, replied Reginald.
How fast did she go?''
she trotted mile J 2;2Si, the last
quarter In 50 seconds, 5 the reply.
A peaceful happy smile stole over the
old mans face. Reginald, my boy"
he said, IN low, earnest tones, 'sthat lit
tie bay mare belongs to me. NY posi-
ton as Deacon will not allow me to
publicly acknowledge the ownership of
the animal, but you can bet your sweet
lfe that when she is cut loose at the
July races | will break all the officers
OF our church and several people in the
my boy?n
Yes, catch on" said Reginald II
knew you owned the mare, al the time,
but Chicagoan is too noble to give
away his prospective father-in-law"
and stepping to the sideboard Reginald
courteously poured out drink OF sour
mash for Mr.. Hathaway before taking
one himself.
The old man did not fail to notice
this action. The boy has the true
Saxon spirit" he murmured, "and he
shall marry Myrtle when the leaves
begin to turn. shall need him myself
during the trotting season"

CLINGING FOR DEAR LIFE.

rent

Fort Worth Democrat Advance.
On Wednesday, the 10Th instant, oul
readers will remember that this section
was visited by terrific hail, rain anG
thunderstorms. On that day Mrs David
MeNeily, of Mansfield, accompanied
| by n youth who is liveing in MIR
MeNeily's family, but whose name we
could not learn, was in the city trading
After the storm had abated they started
on their return to Mansfield in two
horse wagon. Night overlook them
before they arrived at their destination
| 1t WAS s o'clock and intensely dark
when they reached Walnut Creek. just
| this side Of Mansfield. The stream was
swollen by the rains, but the young
| man deemed ii fordable and drove in.
The horses Immediately sank, the
wagon tioated away from the running
gear and the lady and youth, who
could not swim, were carried by the
raging, muddy waters down the stream,
enveloped in darkness. Theya mnaged
to cling to the wagon-bed, which was
turned over.
The lady, seeing no chance for es-
cape, begged the young man to leave her
to her fate and make his way to the
the shore rs best We could. This he re-
fused to think of, and time and again
pulled her from the surging, angry wa
tiers and placed her upon the floating
anu rolling bed For three dreadful hours
this was continued, and at the end of
this time, having drifted the distance
Of mile and half, the wagon body
hearing this faintipg lady and exhausted
youth lodged against log acrsos the
stream.
With last manly effort this brave
young man removed his charge-the
helpless lady-;o the shore, where she
sank to the ground as if life was
extinct. In that dark, damp and almost
freezing night this hopeless couple
wandered through the tangled thickets
of Walnut Creek bottom, the young
man now shouting for assistance and
now trying to revive Mrs. McNeily,
who frequently tainted. Some students
at the college building finally heard
the cries of distress and went to the
assistance of the sufferers.

Asif he never had been warm.
Sudden, he spicd beneath his feet

Trampled and wet with snow and sleet.
Withered and worthless, there It lay.
He bounded, siezed il with delight,
Stood still and shook it free from snow;
into his coat he PINNED i tight
Ills eyes lit up with sudden glow.

His face transformed in every line
And fingered that the hurrying crowd
Might chance 70 see that he was line.

Never one-half such pleasure had,

IN cheering up that beggar lad.

Happy in these good homes Of hours,
How many in this world are yet
Glad even Of the wlthered fiowers
