in a crisis to pitch for the Charlestown
Grays and won for them by his fine work
in the box a decisive game. Colonel Tay-
lor's enthusiasm carried him across the
gulf-the Niagara as it wcre-and the col
legian's life was safe, as well as his future
happiness assured.
Annie did go back to school after all,
beginning with the following scholastic
year, and Burnett somehow found means
to continue at college until he graduated
Then there was another wedding-alto-
gether unnecessary in the eyes of the law,
but celebrated to please Colonel Taylor,
who declared that no child of his (as if he
had dozen) could ever marry without his
consent He had sworn Annie should
marry William Burnett; and he had kept
his oath.
The happy groom never ceases to bless
the father who gave him his family name,
For" says he on an average of once a day,
eff my name had not been William Bur-
nett should never have married."
The aphorism is not very clear one, but
he has only to look ut Annie and believe in
1t with all his soul. O. p. CAYLoR.

Strong interest in the club. Then he was
asked to accept the presidency and he con-
scented. The Office was bestowed upon him
for the purpose of securing thereby I'D
eral contribution in cash to aid in hquidat-
ing deficit in the treasury which had te-
fallen the club in spite of professional sue
cess. The check was cheerfully handed
over, but its necessity set the colonel
thinking, with the result that he con-
cIuded Just some such hand as his own
was needed to take sole charge of the
business policy of the club to provide
against another deficiency for the next
year, and he assumed charge of the Grays,
while the ex-officials ''stood aside" and
saved their energies by silent submission.

odt of it, changing the whole course of life
of several people, and illustrating with full
force the truth of the old hymn which
tells us ION what q slender thread hang
everlasting things"
Colonel Taylor was a widower, possessed
of one child, n large fortune, an eccentric
disposition and an abiding belief in him
self. Nobody could recite the circum-
stances which brought to the colonel his
military title. The colonel himself never
volunteered the information, and. no one
Of his acquaintance had courage to seek it
at headquarters. The general belief finally
settled upon the theory that the mans
pugnacity and his ability to command ODE
dience to his purposes at all times earned
for him the title without the formal bap-
tism in blood upon the field OF battle.
Colonel Taylor was the great man Of
Charlestown by reason Of his superior
riches and his self asserted and I'M
denied leadership in every public meas

nence might Re expected to come. The
summer before that fateful New

"When did you kindly arrange all this
for me?"
"Fifteen years ago his father and we're
bosom friends. When his son was ten
years old and you were two we betrothed
our children. l thol took an oath that, so
far as my power extended, my daughter
should marry William Burnett when she
grew to womanhood."
Annie sighed. Then she meekly asked
"When am to see this afliancGd hus-
band?"

She flushed and half started from her
chair.

ANNE Enew her fathers eccentric ma
ture; his passion for INDUCING strange
whims; his eXaction of explicit obedience
from Ler, but she never dreamed he would
demand such an absolute surrender Of her
future life. She didn't know what her
will, if she had any, was in this instance.
If her unknown cousin were handsomer
than his portrait suggested it might not
be so bad to leave school and become a
bride. Ali girls wanted to get married
some time, she knew, but all girls of her
acquaintance expected to do great deal Of
flirting first, fall in love-whatever that
might be-and make choice among any
number Of beaus. Why should she be
treated unlike other girlsi For the first
time in her life she felt like rebelling
against her fathers edict.

II shall not be here to receive him." said
her father, rising from the table. "Busi-
ness of an unexpected nature calls me
away today. I will not be home till night.
At any rate would be in the way. You
two ought to be able to have it all fixed
when get home"
Annie said nothing, but looked unutter-
able things.
AS Colonel Taylor was leaving the house
he stopped to kiss Annie goodby and then
said:
"By the bye, fellow viii probably call
here today to see me on business-a base

Better not let him in the house. They are
not all honest and-well, you don't want to

"What is this baseball players name"
II don't know. A friend of mine is send
ing him-wrote that the young man would
call and see me today about an engage
ment for next summer. Great pitcher and
all that. I'll attend to him some other

He assembled the steps and rang the bell.
To the servant who came to the door he
gave his card and asked to see Colonel Tay-
Tor.
He was ushered into a reception room
and requested to be seated. Then the serv-
ant disappeared.
A rustling Of skirts soon after attracted
his attention. In the doorway Was vision

breath away with her first presence until
Annie Taylor stood before him that New

New Years Fifty Years Ago.

The method in vogue in New York city
half century ago WAS for the ladies of
the family to remain at home, much as
they do now, while the gentlemen went
abroad visiting friends. The visitor en-
tered, shook hands, took seat, conversed
for a few moments, and after partaking of
refreshments--of which boned turkey and
picked oysters were the staple dishes and
sherry and whisky the most popular drinks
had another handshaking and terminated
the visit. The custom is of Dutch origin.
