Nineteen hundred and twenty-five!
How often in his march had he pictured
to himself this long street, with its
two thousand houses so like each other,
and nothing on the outside to dis
tinguish Lina's home from any other!
She would tie sitting behind the warm
curtains in room brightly lighted.
He could see the light CLINT on her
fair soft hair Did she wear 1t in two
long plaits still? Was she quite calm
and undisturbed this evening? Did
nothing whisper to her heart that
Frederick was marching, marching
towards her, having done the thousand
miles?
Nineteen hundred! Only twenty-five
more houses! How his heart beat! 1t
waswell that the snow fell faster, for it
cooled his forehead. He felt all on
fire. Nineteen hundred and twentyl
He leaped forward.
Nineteen hundred and twenty-five!
At last! But why so dark! Ach, ia,
the curtains were thick! He had for
gotten. The snow felt suddenly so
cold! oh, SO cold! He mounted the
steps, His heart thulnped heavily. 1t
choked him. He stood opposite the
door and CROPPED for the bell: Black
windows, like eyes in a deaths head,
glared hideously at him, freezing his
hearts blood. White, scraggy fingers
clawed at him in the windows. They
seemed to drag him down to a black
depth, where it was so cold, and the
scraggy white fingers made the words
.sTo Let" in the black windows.

why He DIDN'T Wear II.

Some time ago the jealousy existing be-
tween the troopers of a certain cavalry
regiment and their comrades of the til
foot-both quartered in the same city
eliminated in open encounters on the
streets. in which the belts of the infan-
try and the riding whips of the cavalry
played a prominent part, says London
Tit-Bits
AS the outcome of one of these encoun-
ters about a dozen of the members of
the infantry regiment appeared before
their colonel one morning. The majority
of the culprits confessed their guilt and
threw themselves on the mercy of the
court, but one, a son of Erin on being
charged sought refuge in prevarication
Did you use your belt in the affray?"

Indeed Who gave you permission to
leave the barracks without it?"
Sure, l had ii on, sor when I left the

Third Term Talk.

President Cleveland is doubtless amused
at the great amount Of third term talk
that is appearing IN the newspapers. The
articles in the New York Herald and
World and other papers on this subject OF
the third term. have a tendency to create
the impression that an extraordinary ef-
fort is being made 10 prepare the public
mind for the denomination Of Mr.. Cleve-
land. that he is seeking a denomination
and that his reorganization is hotly opposed
by large section. If not the majority. of
his party.
We do not believe anybody is in posi-
ton to say that Mr.. Cleveland would like
to have a denomination. We are sure that
no one can point 10 any act or word Of his
which indicates that he is seeking a re-
nomination. He is simply attending TO his
official duties, and saying nothing. And of
what use would it be for him to say any
thing? II he should say he would not ac-
cept a denomination he would not be be-
lieved. 1t would be at once said he is in
sincere. and that if denomination were
offered him he would accept it, however
many times he may have said he did not
want a third term or may have declared
himself against a third term for any man.
We confess we think the wisest thing
for Mr.. Cleveland to do is to say nothing
until such time as a declaration from him
on the third term question would be ac-
cepted as meaning something.
The fact that there is so much third term
talk in connection with Mr.. Cleveland is
evidence that he is regarded as a remark
ably strong man with the people. If he
were a weak man the newspapers and the
politicians would say nothing about him.
They would let him severely alone.
1t is about impossible to pick up a news
paper in any part of the country without
finding an interview with this or that man
relative to Cleveland and a third term, or
an editorial article on that subject. Even
those politicians and newspaper editors
who attribute to Mr. Cleveland the defeat
of the democratic party suffered in this
falls election seem to be worried about
his intentions in respect to a third term.
That Mr.. Cleveland is strong with the
people there isn't shadow of doubt, but
it doesn't necessarily follow they are GO
ing to insist upon his denomination. Many
things are likely to happen before the
meeting of the national democratic con-
vention that will influence the conven-
tion's action. Third term talk therefore
may proftably be put off for several
months yet.

The age of Love- correspondence in

statements and amusing glimpses of indi-
vidual character and views, says the La
dies Pictorial.
Ladies in the bloom of their wrinkles
is one of the funniest definitions of elder
ly sirens who have proved irresistible,
and, according to one of the writer's, we
must include Helen of Troy among these
aged charmers.
Helen, says the pitiless one, was 80 when
she ran off with Paris.
Cleopatra, we all know was old enough
for Shakespeare to write of her that age"
could not wither her, when she fascinated
an amorous Antony of neary three score
and ten.
But more amusing still is the letter of
a young lady" who has had more ad-
ulation and attention" than falls to the
lot of most of her sex and consequently
has had considerable experience in love
at all ages"
This lady, who at II was engaged to "a
noble, good man of 3d. declares that at
no age has she found the love of man

to 90
But, ALAS this wise reflection seems to
have come too late, for she broke off the

Mr.. ]. Adger smyth, whom the demo-
Gratis of Charleston have nominated at a
primary election for the mayoralty, is a
business man, and not a politician, which
argues well for the advancement of the
city in the event of his election. He has
been identified with the leading CONNER
cial bodies of the city for a number of
years, in which capacity he has done much
good work for the South Atlantic sea-
board as well as for his own city More
than once Savannah has shared the ad-
vantases of his efforts with Charleston
notably in contests for freight rates. and
for the securing of tourist rates. Mr.
Smyth's election TO the mayoralty, by the
way, will not be a walk-over. He will
have to contest with Mr.. William f.
Huger, who will run as an independent
democratic candidate. Mr.. Huger is also
well known in the business world as a
man of energy. integrity and capacity.
His race, however, we think, will be
handicapped by the fact that he is the
candidate of the Anglican Protective
Association,
