DIED..

HUGHEY-Mr. James II. Hughey
died last Saturday morning at the
residence OF his father, about one
mile from town, of pneumonia. Mr..
Hughey had lived all his life in this
community, and as he was most
excellent man, he had quite host
of friends, who mourn his loss, and
who unltedly extend their sympathy
to the bereaved parents and children.
His wife died some years ago, and
he now leaves three little orphan
children and goes to join his wife in
the spirit world. He was mason,
and that order buried him with the
usual honors and ceremonies. A
very large concourse of people as
sembled around his grave to pay a
last tribute Of respect to an honored
citizen. Rev. j. =. Weaver conduct
ed the funeral services. One by one,

told them about my wedding trip, and
showed them my new things, and ]
dare say the men talked over everything
with them afterward.
But what most puzzled everybody
was that Stephen Barker came so often
to see us, and was so friendly with Nor
man. Some thought it very mean
spirited i'll him, and others remembered
that when he was very young he had
loved my mother dearly. Even those
who spoke kindly of him did not give
him credit for half the noble unselfish-
ness he had shown; for he would not
let me tell any one that it was he HIM
self who had planned everything about
my property and my wedding.
"Just let them say you fitted me,
Frances, if they please to do so. We
know better, and we will keep our
secret until Uncle Miles comes around. :"
Aunt and uncle both came around
sooner than was expected. When ii
was known that Stephen spent so much
of his zine with us, Aunt Miles consid-
cred the advantages of having her
daughters brought Familiarity in contact
with him, and for their sakes she came
to see me and give me the kiss of recon
ciliaticn.
But as far as catching Stephens heart
Sin the rebound" was concerned, she
was just little too late. Norman s
sister, who was teacher in one of the
public schools of New York, came to
spend her vacation with us, and Stephen
fell in love with her in a way which
convinced me that his love for Frances
Halliday had only been the shadow of
the love he had for the mother WHY,
Norman himself never behaved more
foolishly about me than Stephen about
this little, plain Ruth, for she is plain
everyone must allow that.
And the preparations that are going
on for the marriage quite amuse me,
who might have been the bankers wife
myself: Dear me think love must
often laugh at the kind of people he
comes in contact with. But 1 hope
Stephen will be happy do, indeed
That is all have to say about my
marriage, | think it was rather pecui-
lar. Some women will doubtless say
they don't believe such men as Stephen
exist. But let girl, when she discov-
ers she does not like man, tell him
SO, and ask his advice and help, and
ten to one she will find another
Stephen. How can men be chivalrous
and self-denying if women don't give
them opportunities l think that is
wrong, and | intend always to give
Norman every chance to cultivate such
noble qualities.

The Baby That Was Not.

There was a tired-looking woman
came into the Michigan Central depot
the other day and sat down to wait for
train. Two small children chung to
her skirts and in her arms she carried
an infant closely wrapped up, and with
an old veil tied in double fold across
its small face. The mother had
satchel and some boxes, which she man
aged to carry at the same time, and she
ssttled the children ON each side of her
trO;n repaired for long sitting, for the
Utaln WIS late.
ond omnseds were quiet little things,
"n5 5 mn SlidS ~ tLQselves; the mother sat
Looked l far off With a tight clasp and
be watching over gf sn"' s Teane 70
softly now and then, som6s nea.s leil
of the bright-haired children, On one
the dress of the baby in her arhssln on
these the little ones would brush sses ii
away. 1t was evident that they lN
seen their mother weep often.
But the other passengers who waited
got nervous over it. A good woman
with kind face offered seed-cake to the
children, but they shrunk from her.
People came and went, and something
in the woman's face made them stop
and look at her, but she did not see
them. A white, drawn, quivering mouth
and fearful eyes attested some deep sor-
row.
At last little fussy man, who had
been jumping up and down and rubbing
his hands and crying: tBless me!' un-
der his breath, went up to the stricken
/ IS n
in front of her.
"Bless, me, ma am he exclaimed,
rubbing his hands till they were ablaze
with the friction; ''but you'll smother
that baby"
The woman looked at him as if she
didn't comprehend what he meant.
1t can't possibly breathe, ma'am
with a double veil over its face; l say,
you'll smother that child"
He thought her either deaf or crazei
and the rest of the passengers had tht
same fears. The woman laid her linn
burden in her lap and began with trem
bling hands to undo the veil "My bah,
is dead" she said, in a low voice, bu
which all heard.
GOOD gracious, ma'am"-began thu
little man.

! She picked up her senseless burdel
|, and rocked herself to and fro, but kin
hands led her away and kind voice
whispered words of hope to her, and q
last the poor half-crazed mother cor
7 sented to lay aside the empty garment
and take instead to her arms and heal
, the little ones she had well-nigh fol
gotten.
