Miss Anna waited little longer, then
she went back to her vegetables. The
captain stood a long time looking over
at her.

enough to make a fellow desert No,
no; let her be free till have something
more than this to offer her" And he,
too, went to pulling grass.
Almost the one thing that the captain
had known something about in the old
days was law. He did not know very
much about it, it is true, but he got out
his dusty books and carried them out
on the front porch behind the vines to
read, holding them pretty far off from
his blue eyes that should not have been
old for many years yet. BY and by he
went to town and stood his eXamina-

little painted lawyers shingle, which
he swung on from the front gallery
post, among the rose vines. 1t swung
there year after year, growing dingy
and creaky, now and then attracting
the notice of someone who wanted a
deed drawn or a will written. But that
was not often. There were pitifuliy
few deeds to be drawn or wills to b.
made in those days. 1t was along

The captain stopped his clipping
when she came up, and leaned on the
other side Of the gate TO talk to her.
Perhaps the captain was not as strong
as he fancied, for by and by he forgot
what he had meant to say to her and

My Dear Sir-The changes which ar"
occurring in the official staff Of this
company consequent on the change Of

a severance of our business and friend

take the opportunity of expressing to
you my appreciation Of the valuable
work you have so long been engaged in.

good work for a long time to come.

Patron Tickets Tor the Festival.

The opportunity to become patror
of the Maine festival, this year. is
open to the public until Sept. 23rd
There is to be no auction sale for the
choice of seats. and the best seats in
the house are to be had by those who
apply early. These patron tickets
which are now on sale for s.. Sc and
81, if sold for single performances
would be valued at $1l. They are
transferable and entitle the holder to
n seat for each of the five perform
ances, including Sembrich night, which
is itself worth the price of the series.
We are certain that this opportunity
will not influence the people of Maine
more than the fact that every one be-
coming Il patron of the festival is thus
most truly aiding in the noble work
in the cause of music, which Director
Chapman has so ably begun. Dia-
grams will be found in every town.
from which seats should be selected at
once, either patron or single concerts.
