THE BENNINGTON BANNER FRIDAY MAY 10, 1898.

Miss Bedding was an excellent girl.
Jim and | did not talk much on the
way over. vaguely wondered how a
Mormon or a Turk felt A mans heart

We didn't stop to loiter. As two
o'clock approached we left the house
with brisk steps, determined to "plunge

We had each received little note that
morning, left at the village postoffice
fixing the hour. They were as tender.
as bright and attractive as the first ones.
At least mine was, and 1 noticed that
Jim put his tendeTly away in his breast
pocket.
The salt air was bracing to-day, and
we each felt equal to the occasion. As
we drew near the beach we could hear
the shrill sound of children's voices
calling to each other, and l wondered if
we would find a swarm of boatmen's
babies as an accompaniment to our tales.
The truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth, was what had determined
to tell L knew the sweet woman who
had written me those letters could be
trusted.
Suddenly nay revery was broken into
by wild shout of Joy. Coming scam
peTing over the sands was my johnnie,
his hat on his neck and joy in his eye.
"Parper! Parper!"
OF all placesi Just behind were Julia
and Madge.
| turned to give Jim look of despair,
bnt saw on his face so much embarrass-
ment, CONSERVATION and struggling sur
prise, that stood gazing at HIM.
Him ALWAYS was a man of ruiclr NAN
ception, but even with the cue of his
countenance, L should never have taken
in the situation if Julia had not said
sweetly:
"a charmingly romantic place for
rendezvous. / am sorry Johnnie spoiled
the dramatic opening.
Involuntary l looked at Madge. l
know Julia never wrote those letters to
me. My looks crossed Jim's. He was
looking at Julia. And then we gazed at
each other with jealous blood in each
eye.
But we were too deeply in to desert
each other now.

"We will forgive and forget" Jim
said, las no harm has been done"
''We didn't advertise" Miss Madge
remarked, with her eyes on the distant
horizon.
"But you answered. It's just as bad
worse! Jim said severely.

closed in a husbands letter to his wife.

And my beloved Julia beamed upon
me. saw it all. l had made a mis-
take in the envelopes that night.
We tried our best to treat it as a joke,
well played all around, but we had the
sore feeling that the ''joke was on u.s."
Added to that was a vague sense of loss,
look at Mrs. James Reynolds some
times and wonder if she, in her soul, is
''Inconnue." hate to think that Jim
looks at my wife the same way.
Julia says they wrote their letters to-
gether, and we have never told them that
we did not do the same thing. 1t was
dangerous experience.

The perception Of the comic is tie Of
sympathy with other men, pledge of
sanity and protection from those per-
verse tendencies and gloomy insanities
in which fine intellects sometimes lose
themselves. A rogue alive TO the ridic-
ulOus is still convertible. If that sense
is lost his fellowmen can do little for
him.

Be Yourself.

A few years ago a party of tourists
through the mountains in North Car
olina stopped at the picturesque vii
lage of Waynesville for a few days.
While they were climbing one OF
the mountains near the town they
met q young girl driving some crows
to pasture. She had beautiful head
and noble figure, which her dress, a
short blue flannel gown and white
handkerchief knotted at her throat,
set off. Her hair was twisted in a
smooth coil at the nape of her
neck. -,
The artist of the party exclaimed
with delight: -,
"Come tomorrow, just as you are"
he begged. land I will make a picture
of YOU" L..
The girl promised, well pleased, but
fingered to inspect the strangers from
little distance. -,
The next day she appeared; but the
artist found, to his horror, that she
wore q tawny print gown, looped and
bedizened with bows, in an attempt at
imitation of the dresses worn by the
ladies of the party. Her hair was cut
in q bang, puffed and frizzed. Upon
her hands were a pair of soiled gloves.
She attempted to mince as she walked.
ALI the grace of her free carriage learn
ed in climbing the mountain passes,
was gone. She was ridiculous bur-
lesque of a fine lady of the town.
Just in proportion as we forsake
our own natural part in life to copy
others whose dutyi and place are diff
ferent from ours. we fail as did the
mountaineer.

The Secret of the Saints.

To play through life o perfect part
Unnoticed and unknown,
To seek no resa in any heart,
Save In Gods heart alone;
In little things to own no will,
To have no share in great.
To find the labor ready still,
And for the crown toIwait;
Upon the brow to bear no trace
gilmore than common care,
To write no secret In the face
For men to read 1t there;
The daily cross to clasp and bless
With such familiar zeal
AS hides from all, that not the less
The daily weight you feel;
Obi tits q pathway hard to choose,
A strugge hard to share,
For human pride would still refuse
The nameless trials there;
But since We know the gsteis low
That leads to heavenly bliss,
What higher grace could God bestow
Than such life as this!

DROVE HER INSANE.
Sad Scene at the Foreclosing Of a
Polk County Mortgage.

CRooKsToN, Mimi. Nov. 3.-Last
year farmer living near Argyle bought
some farm machinery, and, like the ma
iority of farmers last year, gave his
notes for the same. secured by mortgage
on the machinery. Things did not run
smoothly. and week ago his wife re-
ceived word from him that he was going
away and not coming back. The wife
knew of the note and mortgage for new
machinery bought last year. but con-
cluded to let the agent foreclose the
mortgage and take the machinery. Yes
terday the machine man showed up,
and Judge her surprise when he pro-
duced a mortgage, in which was con-
tanned every article on the farm and in
the house, even to the chickens running
about in the yard. She protested. but
to no avail, as the agent proceeded to
put things IN shape for removal. The
poor woman was crazed with grief at
the loss OF both her husband and every
thing that she owned in the world. and
pleaded with the agent for more time;
but il did no good: The machine agent
kept right en- with his work and re-
moved everything from the place. As
a consequence, the woman who htd
seen so much trouble in a few brief
weeks was taken through here last
night-a raYing maniac, en- route to the
asylum.
