A Fool in the Forest.

Miranda ran lightly through the
green corn down upon the little wood
below.
Here shallow brook fretted over
tiny falls and curled in eddies round
large, smooth pebbles. The morn
ing sun struck aslant through the
willows, and patches of blue sky
beamed up frcm the depths of Che
shallow water.
Miranda stepped upon the frail
Drldge ana leaned over the hand
rail. The mirror below her was full
Of waving shadows and gray light.
The stream trickled cody in that Sc
cluded dell, and Miranda'5 face was
flushed and hot with her haste. The
breeze went softly through the tress-
es of her hair.
Miranda glanced along the shelly
ing banks to where grassy knoll
jutted forth upon corner of the
brook. She left the bridge, and
walking to the spot looked down up
on the water. The dell was silent.
Her eyes flew swiftly this way and
that in furtive diffidence, and then,
fast as fash, she slipped her shoes
from under her feet and flung her
hosen down, and dropping upon the
knoll dabbled her feet in the current.
The water washed about her an
kles gently, and she watched the
curves in her high arches dissolve
and change and waver in the eddies.
How translucent was the stream
How sweet and still the air She
bent forward and regarded her face
in the deep pool.
Suddenly, and with little gasp of
terror, she found the earth slipping
from her. She threw herself back
and clutched wildly at the grass.
Size felt the water creeping above
her ankles.
A cry escaped her, and on the
next instant two hands were clasped
beneath her arms and she was swift
| ly and gently drawn into safety and
laid high upon the grass upon her
back.
Miranda sat up,and looking round
met the bashful eyes of g youth. At
once bis gaze dropped, and he fun
bled his hands together and shifted
from foot to foot.

"but you"
"Oh, you are very kind,' said
Miranda earnestly. Il thank you,

mered, and looked away, frowning
al the trees. "Any one would have
done more for you" he added blush
ing.
Miranda's gaze went down hel
gown, and hastily she plucked hel
bare feet under her skirt.
There fell d long silence, during
which he fige:ed with the stalks 0
the bracket, and Miranda beat he
fingers impatiently upon her knee.
Heavens Will the man neve
speak or go?" thought Mirands
, "The sun shines bright, and the bird
sing sweet" he added, sand twill
rain by nightfall," he ventured cock
ing his eye at the sky.
"Ah!" said Miranda, tanning her
self with her hat.
t Again a pause ensued. The youn
: man shuff1ed on bis feet. He viii:
tied gently. Miranda yawned an
drummed her fingers faster on be
knee. She gave a little cough.

Sweet and true
Can you love me,
Do you think, dear,
Just as well as
| love you.
All! you say 1
Never told you
That | loyed
You so befole,
And you must
Have time to answer
Certainly, a
Week or more.
Know you not,
My little lassie,
If it takes you
Days and days
To find out loves
Tender secret
And sly Cupid's
Cunning ways?
Then Pm sure you
Do not love me,
And l fear you
Never can,
For love dawns
Like Golden sunrise,
Flooding heart
OF maid and man.
"Hearts are not the
Same" you answer;
"Some haYe fewer
Signs to waste,
And with some
True love is serious;
Maiden hearts should
Not make haste"
True, fair maiden,
Love is serious
When one breads
A cruel May"
Yet I'll wait, if
You but promise
Not to add
Another day.
/ am waiting
For my answer
AS the minutes
Come and go,
If the sun of
True love rises
Bright for me-!
Ill let you know.

County Commissioners.

The county fathers convened Mon
day and waited until afternoon for the
arrival Of commissioner Johnson, but
he failed to put in an appearance and
the board proceeded to organized.
Messrs. Loveland and Hillestad were
present and had qualified. On motion
of Commissioner Loveland seconded
by Commissioner Carlson, M. A. Don
ahoe was chosen chairman for the
ensuing year. ThoS. Bishop, in retir-
ing from the chair, thanked the board
for the good fellowship which had pre-
vailed and also the courteous treat
ment he had received from their hands
during his term of office, and wished
the new board harmonious and sue
cessful year in the pursuit of their
duties. +. J. Adams, the other retir-
ing member also thanked all hands
and made graceful bow to his sue
cessor. Messrs. Bishop and Adams
have well and faithfully performed
their duties as commissioners and the
county at large will unite with the
REGISTER in thanking them for their
services.
The new board is composed of men
who, we believe, will carry forward
their duties in a faithful manner and
it is hoped they may have clear sail
ing. Nearly all the new officers were
present and ready with their bonds
and necessary documents to qualify.
