to indulge her wish. Its a long time

I really should have explained before
that my name is Nelson Conway. 1 had
been rather a small, puny child, and my
gradfather called me Little Mel.
Soon Jake went about his business
harvesting the oats. Sarah and I sat
all that afternoon under the cool shade,
talking about old times.
My parents had been dead many
years, and it was something new in my
experience to be petted, deferred to
and made much of. Sarah took up the
acquaintance just where it had been
broken off 18 years ago, and seemed i'm
bued with an augmented alteration for
me.
I felt there was one true, loyal soul
in the world whom / could depend on,
and, in the natural desire for sympathy
and consolation, recounted to her all
my troubles, including the circum-
stances connected with the bank rob-
berry and the suspicion under which l
had groaned in spirit for year now.

Tomb of Warrington.
If the men who become the objects of
hero worship could see the evidence of
the feeling they inspire, they would
possibly be even more reconciled to
leaving this sphere for any other, bet
ter or worse. Sometimes they do know;
and then they need to exercise abun-
dant charity.
An American who has lived much
abroad says that he was present, on one
occasion, when a country woman of his
own met a famous poet. She saw the

And is it possible" she cried, dra-
matically, that l look upon Brown

Silleck says that on one of his holiday
| excursions he visited Mount Vernon,
and there, in the grounds, he came upon
a middle-aged lady, kneeling before a
building at some distance from the
monument. She was bathed in tears.
Mr.. Silleck walked up to her, and asked
if she were in trouble.
mo, SIR" said she, thank you very
much. l am not in trouble, but my pa
triotic feelings overcome me when l
gaze upon the tomb of the Father of his
Country"
II quite understand" said Mr.. Silleck,
gently, "but, my dear madam, you have
made mistake. This is not the tomb
of Washington. 1t is over yonder. This
is the icehouse."
And drying her tears, the lady moved
quietly away.-Youth's Companion.

then time works wonderful changes

After supper Jake drove me over to
Nelsonville. Sarah accompanied us, of
course. She would have been intensely
pleased to have me stay at her own
house, but l was longing for the rest

Hnnsicker said.

harvesting. You will be well paid fc r

Hereupon the rather shrill voice of
woman came from the inner room.
She spoke in Pennsylvania Dutch, but
l was able to make out that her words
conveyed a command for her husband
to comply with my request. She also
added that he should not offer to do the
work too cheaply.

not expect to receive that amount, but

over. Well not quarrel about the terms.

hitherto unseen female. For the wom-

kitchen to have look ut me.
I bowed to her, and she acknowledged
my salutation by coming forward.

The truth was, 1 had had none, and
being rather healthy, was not sorry
to be ushered to the table, where

During the meal the woman favored
me with many searching glances, which
I attributed to her curiosity.

Heredity.

It has been said that the training of
a boy should begin with his grand
mother. Where this precaution has
been neglected there should be some
charity for the boy if he does not turn
out well, and the generous parent will
not refuse to bear at least a portion of
the responsibility.
"Your son Robert, Mr.. Waxworth,"

one of his pupils, sis not lacking in ca

points, but he is apt to think that what
he does is always right. He is very
self-conceited."

a deep sigh. "He gets that character

The Chicago Market.

Chicago, May 1O-This was the most
exciting day seen on the Board of
Trade for many a year, and all rec
ords for the current quotations on
wheat were broken, May selling at
$1.75, July at s1.214 and Sept. at 95c.
In the July option, which was the
one most traded in, the extreme ad-
vance over Saturdays close was $1.308
cents per bushel, and this, coming as
it did after an advance of about 20
cents the previous week, made rec
ord never before known in the annals
of the trade. The close on July wheat
was 81. 204 bid, and the feeling as the
bell tapped was that tomorrow might
zee the establishment of a still higher
pri q scale, $l.25 being freely talked
IF. That all the advance was due to
legitimate buying is hardly probable,
the general impression being that
much of the bidding was done by
shorts who were forced to cover at
any price, and many think that some
of the larger game in the short contin-
gent is still to be bagged.
