He was sent post-hastc TO serve an
attachment upon country store
keeper who was about 20 move to
avoid paying his debts, II not his rent.
While on the train he found that there
was another man from a rival house
bent on a similar errand, and he real
lied that 1t was important TO be first in
the field, as the assets were very light.
The store was about ten miles from the
station, and when the two men alighted
each went in search of hack. There
was only one conveyance in tho little
town, and that was secured by the en-
tcrprising mans rival. Just as this
was starting, the hero of the day camc
up, and, grasping the situation at a
glance, called the buggy owner on one

CHAPTER vi.
A MooNLIaHr RAMpLE.


"Then viii take your room for n
month, Mrs. Whitford, and pay in adj
vance," Elsie heard voice say, as she
entered her foster-mother's house one
afternoon.
"Toimc to pay, ger, when we ha' ad-
died IL: vor il be Almost as bad TO pay
aforehand as not at ALL"
"The word of the righteous is his
bond, ''snuffed the stranger, whom Elsie
had no difficulty in recognizing as Dodd,
the Hoplxinsite.
This was the beginning of very bad
times for the poor girl: for, in place of
the pleasant companionship of the cul-
turcd young schoolmastcr, she had 20
endure the perpetual presence Of one
she instInctively detested, and who adj
ded to her adherence by constant un-
pleasant illusions TO her absent friend.
To add to her dilemma, the man
seemed TO have bowitched her foster
parents-Mrs. Whitford by a sancti-
monious appeal 10 her easily wrought
religious emntions--the corporal by a
dazzling display OF knowledge OF cle-
mentary geology, with special bear
|
tored mind, revealed depth of learning
bordering on the supernatural. When
the cunning rogue told Whitford II was
gold he was after, and gold he would
surely find. and how he would share
his fortune In embryo with his host, the
corporal's heart glowed with hope,
and he was quite aware that he was
entertaining an angel, who would be a
special providence 60 him In his daily
increasing difficulties.
Day by day the clouds gathered over
the young girls life; at last the storm
burst.
Elsie, lass" said Mrs. Whitford late
one evening, "0i hate 10 send thee out
at this tonne o. noight, but thy fey
theirs tired, an ha' need o. things
from the toon. Gan thee must. OF be
afeared."
II viii accompany the Maiden" Dodd
suggested, with ready smile.
Elsie started at the proposition. "No
sir. prefer 10 go alone"
''Whoy, Elsiel" There was world of
rcproachful surprise in Mrs. Whitford's
tones.
"IIoot-toot. lass" broke in the cor
poral, holly, "the parsons good enough
company for the likes of you; get on
coat an start this minute"
lie spoke as though he meant TO be
obeyed, and the girl with sigh made
her preparations.
As the ill-assortod couple wendell
their way along the lonely path that
led TO the city, Dodd talked flnently. re-
ceiying, however, from the painting lips
of his companion but brief responses.
In fact she heard but half he said. but
suddenly she was shocked into strict at
tcntion:
my dear child," he said, suddenly,
'the Lord hath appointed the blessed
state of matrimony"
Elsie felt constrained TO say some
thing. SO curtly replied: ~ suppose
So"
"And 81. Paul says that Il Is not meet
that man should live alone"
Does hep" very wearily.
""So for tho last few weeks my medi-
tations have turned toward marriage"
'Sone lady in orctown?" she asked
indiffcrcntly.
"Ycs, dear child, listen" Tic drew
closer 90 her rs he spoke. 81 am not

has blessed me with perennial cheer

NEW YORK'S CAPITOL
FOR A HUNDRED YEARS 1T HAS BEEN
LOCATED AT ALBANY.

Tho Centennial Soon to BE Celebrated In
That Ancient City - Some Interesting
Early History--The old Capitol and the
New.
For just 100 years Albany has been the
hpital oity of the Empire State, and on
Jan. 8, 1897, the centennial anniversary
Of the selection of that city as the seat of
New York's legislature will be appropri-
ately celebrated.
How the lawmakers happened to select
Albany for home is an interesting bit Of
state history. One vote, cast at an oppor-
tune time, decided the struggle which had
been waged for the capital There have
been efforts since TO get the capital away
from Albany, but that city always carried
the day in the end, and there Is every
prospect that 100 years from now IL will
still be the seat Of lawmaking for New
York.

A new and poetically pretty custom
was observed al a recent fashionable
wedding. The guests were given, just
before the bride and groom departed,
colored tissue paper packets tied with
colored cord and filled with rose leaves.
These were showered upon the bridal
pair, who considered themselves fortu-
nate TO escape with only this 1owery
baptism.
1t is generally conceded now that a
good deal OF danger attends the throw
ing Of rice at weddings. Very lately a
sad accident was the result Of this sup
posed good luck ceremony. One OF the
sharp rice grains lodged in the brides
left eye, cutting the ball and causing at
the time considerable pain, but not as
any one thought serious damage. Since
then the young woman's eye has been
giving more and more trouble, and pny.
sicians now announce that she will lose
its sight completely.
The pretty pelting with rose petals Is
practical as well as picturesque in eff
feet.
