The announcement of the candidacy

the vacancy on the supreme court
bench, meager though it is is enough
TO throw the friends of Col. w. s. B.

most conspicuous candidate in the field,
certainly he was the unanimous choice

All the time he was getting deeper in
love with his house and with Grace, but he
told himself he would wait till everything
looked at its best before he brought Grace
to see it. After that he would ask her an
important question.
1t was in May, one Sunday, after church,
that Mrs. Austin and Grace took the cleo
trio cars and went to see Arnolds house.
He met them at the corner Of his street and
the three went along together chatting
gayly.
Mrs. Austin admired everything along
the way, and she came to see the interior
OF the house she was loud in her praises
Grace agreed to everything, but did not
say much. They had lunch together and
at length Arnold went and saw them on
their car, then stood watching until it was
lost to view.
The next night he was getting on his
wheel to go home, when he saw Grace
walking along the opposite sidewalk. He
crossed over, and trundlng his bicycle, he
walked beside her.
"How did you like my home?" asked
Arnold as they paused at the Austin's
gate.

'But it must be horribly lonesome. |

place. STILL" she added, smiling, 'if
you like it, that is all that is necessary.

the steps. Then, as the door closed be
rapidly away.
When he came to his house, he looked at
it sadly. 81 shall have to give you up"
he said. "It comes hard, but | have got
to do it,"
Nearly two weeks passed before every
thing came right so that Arnold could put
his question to Grace.
After that, when they were making
plans for the future, Arnold asked, "What
shall we do about house,
Grace opened her eyes wide and gazed at
him as though he had asked her foolish
question.
"Why, what is the matter with your
house: | think it is lovely out there.
