CHAPTER XIV,


Sat the earnest request of Mr..
Peckham, and at my aunt's de-
sire, I gave him a few lessons in
geometry, which he said he had
long desired, az he found it diff
cult to solve the problems unaid-
ed. l am unable now to explain
his manner; it was all Difference
to Aunt Nancy, and mingled res
pect and tenderness to myself.
1t pleased me in various ways
during our study hours, and an
noyed me also by certain little
mannerisms, or want of manner
isms, which seemed to me unre-
fined. l said as much once to
Aunt Nancy, and was sharply
reproved. She told me ] was
proud and naughty, and such
noble-hearted young men were
not found every day; and then /
scolded myself, and thought it
must be my own fault if the
handsome young carpenter did
not please me as much as my
aunt or Sue.
My father was pleased with
him, too, and on his return not
only praised his work, but invi-
ted him to make our house a
home whenever he wished; but |
never failed to shiver when |
saw him, and was always re-
lieved wheR he went away, al
though his gratitude to his little
tutor was openly expressed.
Sue kept up her friendship
with him after her visit was over
and it was through her that the
pitiful trouble came,
Sues father had given her a
little boat for her own use, and
she had been teaching me to row
on the river. | enjoyed it very
much, for the pleasure was won
for me through dear Harry.
When he found that one of Sues
brothers would accompany us
on our excursions, he wrote home
urging it in strong terms, and al
though Aunt Nancy scolded, and
my father looked distressed, he
gave his consent. 1t was the
rest | needed after hard study,
and Sues brothers were good
hoatmen.
One evening as we were float
ing down the river singing
boat song we girls had written
for ourselves, Charles Pelton ex-
claimed
Girls, / have forgotten a meet
ing of the boat club; put me on
shore, will you, and row up
stream for half an hour. I will
soon be back
Don't stay, Charlie said Sue,
'for I want to go up to the crows
nest and beyond the big boulder
tonight. Annie raves over those
reflections in the water at the
foot of the knoll
All right answered Charlie;
Il will come back in time to let
Annie rave; only keep her along
shore until you hear my whistle
AS Charlie bounded off to keep
his appointment / heard voice
say: May / take his place, Miss
Pelton?' and Sue made ready an
swer-'if you like Mr.. Peckham.
l had not seen him for several
weeks, and was surprised at the
improvement in his personal APP
pearance. He was neatly dressed
even fashionably SO, and as he
seated himself in our boat and
urged Sue to relinquish the oars
TO him, began to think she was
correct when she called him
handsome.
What night for pleasure. |
was content to sit and dream
while Sue and her friend joked

near its base, sang boating songs
and were happy until the city
clocks struck ten, and l remem-
bered the promise made to my
father as he was leaving home
the day previous, to shorten our
water excursions rather than
annoy Aunt Nancy. The Pei
ton boys, who were like members
OF our own family, had long
since told him they would al
way escort me home.
When the clock struck we
were still some distance up the
river and the tide was against us.
Charlie | said earnestly, do
get home as fast as you can; let
me row; indeed I must not break
my word
Don't worry Annie said he
good-naturedly. 4 will take the
scolding for you; Aunt Nancy
gets so mystified when / attempt
to explaia anything that she for
gets her bottled wrath.
Poor dear Charlie; he was new
er known to hurry, and as for
Mr.. Peckham and Sue, they
seemed quite Indifferent, and
joked away my fears. / think
the former noticed my uneasiness
for as we neared the city, he
said:
'Pelton, put Miss Sorr off at
at brakes steps, and / will cut
across with her while you row

landing

Charlie; 1T will save time
| was tempted to ask Charlie
to join me, and leave Mr.. Peck
ham to escort his sister; but l
had not sufficient courage, espec-

would necessitate long walk
for him, while Mr., Peckham now
boarded only a short distance
from our house.
When we left the boat l al
most ran across an open field,
while Mr.. Peckham hurried be-
hind me.

tongue he replied. Confess,
now, you are afraid of that
I slaokened my pace a little
but did not reply, for l was an
cry with him.
4 often think Of your lonely
life,' he said, 'and sometimes /
fancy it is worse than Margery's.
He had told me of this sister
before, and l was much interest
ed in the story, for she, too, was
living alone with an old lady
quite apart from the world.

fecting; why, she has a mother;

Hook. wife of Mr. Francis H. 0rendorff, died
at her residence in this city ON Thursday, at
5. 80 D. m. All that the most experienced
physicians could do, and the loving care of
friends, could not stay the ravages of disease,
and on Tuesday it became evident that death
would soon claim her, she passing into a coma

short intervals, until death ensued. The
last rites of the church were administered
several days previous by her pastor, Rev:
Father Cassiday, and her spirit calmly passed
away.

els II. Orendorff. Several years later they
moved to their farm at Stonersville, and re-
NAMED there until about ten years ago, when
they returned to Westminster. In early life
she was a member of St. Johns choir and
her house was always open to the young.
Later her delight was to have old friends
gather around her hospitable board, or spend
a social evening. No lady was better or more
favoraby known, and her soothing and help
ing hand was always ready to relieve the
needy Her charity was transformations In
his deep afiliction Mr.. 0rendorf has the sin
cere sympathy of large number OF relatives
and friends.
The funeral will take place at st. Johns
Church, this city, on Monday morning next
at 10 o'clock.

railure Of ". s. Myer : bro.

The milling firm Of W. S. Myer a Bro. of
Westminster made m assignment on We'd
nesday to john l.. Reifsnider and George r.
Gehr. The establishment is now closed and
ten persons are thrown out Of employment.
The mill had a capacity Of 200 barrels day,
but for year or more had not heen run TO
its full capacity. Ills one ofthe best equipped
mills in the country, heing supplied with all
the latest improved machinery.
The failure is said to be due mainly 10
stringency III the money market for a year
and a half, particularly the past four months.
A statement of liabilities has not been made
up, and until it is no accurate report can be
made, nor can a safe estimate be made as to
the amount creditors win be paid. tits hoped
the firm will be able to settle and continue
the business. The bulk of the Indebtedness
is owing to relatives OF the firm, and not very
much IN Westminster. Very general regret
is expressed at the failure. as the members
of the firm are held in high esteem here.
