facts are as follows:
Martha Ann decided firmly on a eli
max. Either James or she must speak.
If she could induce him to declare his
love, all well and good; if not, she must
draw him out. If he would not draw.
she must tell him the old story herself.
No strategist could have planned finer
campaign.
1t was the evening of Easter Sunday.
The day had been bright and sunny. The
services at the church had been inspir-
ing, and James had come home with her
for supper.
After a meal which would have
warmed the heart of cynic, let alone a
healthy farmer like our hero, all the
folks retired to the parlor, where a rosy
fire was glowing in the CRATE, the dry
maple logs burning slowly but deter
minedly, and every coal which dropped
holding its color for an hour.
The organ was opened, and first the
pieces sung by the choir that day were
played over, as Martha Ann said, ''iust
ter hear how they sounded at home"
Father Todd sat near the hearth, one
knee overlapping the other, his eyes
looking clean up through the ceiling,
past the bedroom on the second floor,
past the stars in the keen spring sky,
past the boundaries of space into that
beautiful land of pure delight, where
saints immortal reign" which Martha
Ann was singing about.
Mother Todd sat in her rocker near
him, her arms folded on her motherly
bosom, her round, fair, good old face
beaming with perfect rest and peace.
James stood by the side of the singer
and Joined in the chorus now and then,
for he had a robust bass voice, which
"mightd amounted ter something, y
Martha Ann said, chad he only had the
mgh trainin' Of the choir"
And SO the early evening passed, and
pretty soon the old people went to sleep

and it was as much as half minute be-
fore he continued.
"You see, don't know how to tell it.,
but love you. love you with all my
heart, and alters have, and I've wished
and wished could tell you, but l
couldn't, bein' SO stupid; but I've told
you now, and I'm glad, fer L amt no
room in my heart for no one else"
He was quite choked up with emotion
now, yet in his eyes were a new bold
ness, a new inspiration, and he leaned
eagerly forward for her answer.
1t was now her turn to be confused
The willy Martha Ann forgot her cunning
of speech, forgot her well laid plan, and
the first she knew the tears were rolling
down her cheeks. She had no words to
say.
She allowed her head to sink slowly
toward his breast, and hiding her face
there with his strong arms about her,
she gave herself up to the soft passion of
tears.
And then he raised her tenderly and
kissed her over and over again-how
he never knew and will never be able to
explain to himself, for he had no need to
be told she loved him and was his for
all time.
And SO they sat silently, while the fire
flickered and grew passionate in turn,
and the old clock ticked with gladder
tone, and even the breathing of the god
of night in the lilacs became subdued.
And so, heart beating against heart, and
hand clasping hand, they sat, too full of
the spirit of love to say aught.
And this is how they became engaged.
Yet still the people of the Big Creek
section are wondering, "Did Martha
Ann really proposeY

Tho Danrer from Cola Drinks.

IN my opinion" said physician,
at IL not so great mistake to indulge
in cold drinks in warm weather as it is
to drink them rapidly. On hot day it
is almost inevitable that people should
drink, and what the system seems to
crave is something cold. If that some
thing could be little less than ice cold
it would be so much the better. But il
is practically out of the question to get a
drink of 3 temperature of 40 OF AZ degs,.
gay, which is about as cold as is neces-
sary in order to meet the demands of
nature.
$50, then, ice cold drinks are likely to
remain a permanency, and thousands
and thousands of people will continue to
drink them. Now, what should advise
Is that they perform the operation with
some deliberation. The man who swal-
lows glass Of soda water or anything
else at temperature Of 80 or theTeabout
does dangerous thing. The danger is
in suddenly chilling the nerves of the
stomach, and the result may be sudden
paralysis. There is neither sense mol
reason in drinking thus rapidly.
81 do not mean, on the other hand,
that it is necessary to wait until the
drink, whatever it is, has grown warm.
What plead for is that people should
take fifteen or twenty seconds, or even
half minute, in swallowing glass oil
soda or beer or whatever they use to sat
isfy their thirst. Everybody can afford
that much time-even the most hurried
mainland the result cannot fail to be
decidedly advantageous in the long run.

The Last DAYS of King ia ia.

A tourist, who has just returned from
the Canary islands, had an interview
with King ia ia few days before his
death The exiled king was at that time
staying at hotel in Santa Cruz, and
was in very low spirits, doubling whether
he would ever see his native land again,
though he had made all the necessary
arrangements for his departure. His
journey was delayed by the British vice
consul. who told him he must wait till
the arrival of Major Mcdonald, the COM
missioner of the Oil rivers.
The colonial Office had exacted from
him as condition of his being allowed
toNreturn, a promise to create no dis
turbances. He was suffering severely at
the time from dysentery, and being con-
WINGED that he was the victim of a con.
spiracy against his life, he refused to
take medicines, hiding himself on the
roof or in the cellar of the hotel at the
hour the doctor was expected. Three
days before his death he was to have
gone to village on the hills for change
