A Timely Event.

The bell at the parsonage went ting
a-ling, and as the dominic was in his
study and his wife getting the baby
to sleep, Master Harold, aged seven,
went to the door. On opening it he
found couple, evidently from the
country, both young and bashful. But,
after looking at the boy moment,
the young man queried: "Is, the par.
son to home?' eyes," said Harold;
"do you want to get married ?"
"That's just what we're here for" said
the prospective bridegroom, as he
looked fondly at the blushing girl by
his side. swell, come right in, then,'
said the boy, ushering them into the
parlor. And when they had seated
themselves on the edge of two chairs
side by side he started off, saying:
''I'll call pa and ma, too; she'll be
awful glad, for she has all the marryin'
money, and I heard her tell pa this
mornin' that she wished some folks
would come to get married, cause she
hadn't 'nough money to buy her new
hat" Chicago Evening News.

a small sister, after which he walked
for'ard and met his fate.
She was sitting on deck chair, and
her dark eyes encountered his as he
approached. Then she turned away
almost indifferently and dipped her
hand into bag of peanuts that her
| girl companion had in her lap She
| might have been % years old-but
what mattered her age? She was a
divinity-that was enough.
Hudson walked on a few steps and
then returned and seated himself
where he could feast his eyes upon her.
He noted the long sweep of the black
eyelashes, the curve of the full cheek
with its peachy bloom, the little tip7
| tilted nose and the masses of hair piled
high under the broad hat and curling
| at the nape of the white neck, and
Edna was as though she had never
| been.
Presently the divinity turned and
looked at him again and smiled-act.
ually smiled. Hudson would have
given the world to have smiled in re-
turn, but he dared not. Instead he
| blushed painfully and looked intently
in another direction. Then he rose
and walked away.
He would go down below and buy
some cigarettes, he resolved. Man Of
| the world as he was, he did not vet en-
JOY smoking; still, it would look we'll
to smoke. He could stroll easily by,
and then if she looked up he could
make some remark and A cigar
would be better, though. Kids smoked
| cigarettes.
She was still eating peanuts when he
passed, and she looked up, but Hud-
son could think of nothing to saw.
though she smiled at him quite cordial
ly. He heard her say something to the
girl with her and then laugh, and he
crimsoned to the tips of his ears. He
wondered whether she could see by his
| neck that he was blushing, and then
he pulled out his handkerchief and
wiped his face, that those in front of
him would think it was the heat. Then
he walked to the rail and looked over
| into the green water and communed
| with himself
He wished almost that the boat might
strike on a rock and founder. Then he
might cling to spar and support her in
sensible form. There would ee no need
of getting acquainted then. Or when
the mad push was made for the boats
he could spring forward and say:
'Back, towards! The women anu chill
dren first" And they would shrink
back and he would lower her in. Per-
haps she would call to him to come, but
he would only smile and wave a last
farewell. Then the doomed craft would
sink beneath the waves.
Here he became aware of the fact
that his cigar was not as mild as it
might have been, but it was only half
smoked, and if he threw it away it
would seem as if he were unaccustomed
to tobacco. He bravely drew in
mouthful of smoke and resumed his
meditations.
They would find his body after few
days, and they would remember that he
had stayed the rush and saved the
women and children. And she would
| perhaps come and kiss his lips as he Law
in the magnificent coffin furnished at
the public cost.
Or he would be rescued by passing
fishing boat, and they would meet again

in THE PLAY HOUSES.
"El Captain" Last Night.

At the Lyceum last night Sousa's
opera, "El Captain" was produced. 1t
has been here before. when it was sung
by DeWolf Hopper and the other MEM
bers of the original company. Many
who witnessed last nights performance
heard the original company sing the
opera and were prepared to institute
comparisons. There was quite a gen.
eral agreement that the company now
at the Lyceum gives a performance
that suffers little when contrasted with
the work Of the original company.
The chorus is large and contains
many good voices, and the leading
characters are all in capable hands.
