awake with it one chord of the music
which was silent in her soul.
Life seemed to her hard, conventional,
artificial, hateful.
One man had left her because his honor
was dearer to him than she was, and one
man returned to her because he was un-
easy whilst the world thought i'll of him.
What was the worth of love or friend
ship if they quailed before the opinion of
others?
What use were the beauty, and the
heart, and the mind of a woman if they
could inspire nothing more than that2
She passed the hours of the night walk
ing to and fro that narrow bedchamber
where she had slept as a child, hearing
the hoarse notes of the village clock re-
cord the dreary passing of the time.

hospitality UnerampIed.

Mr.. Camden had spent two days on the
riuer coming down from Clarksburg, fish
ing every day, and had caught everything
but fish. On his arrival at FairmOnt 4 wild
rumor swept the town about pike having
nibbled at somebody's hook That was
more than Mr.. Camden had had from
Clarksburg down, and he fastened to the
rivers side. His luck pursued him. The
retired statesman had scarcely left the river
before a pike was landed on his line. The
fame of his misf-rtu spread. So did re-
port circulated by Dana, that Mr.. Camden
was almost mad enough to abandon the
railroad enterprise So it happened that
when Mr.. Camden reached CASTOR he was
invited to a pool damned up, and holding
about a barrel Of water, in which fOundered
two eels and three cat fish, each with a
hook in its mouth, ready for Mr.. Camden
to land. The discounted fisherman was
saidto have smiled. Bob" Carrsaid twas no
smile at all, but a look of disdain. Could
hospitality go beyond putting the fish on
the hook for the delectation Of a distin-
guished and disappointed visitor?-C b.
