DWIGHT LETTER.

Cne crops.
There has recently been con-
siderable corn planted in this
vicinity on lands that had pre-
viously been too dry and hard.
Miss Crete Hilton, a charming
young lady from Longsville, Is
visiting relatives and friends in
this neighborhood.
The young people of Dwight
gave socIable at Buford School
house on the afternoon of Satur.
day 10th instant. Nearly all Of
the young people Of the neIghbor-
hood turned out, and all present
seemed to greatly enjoy the
occasion The time was spent in
social chat, playing croquet, mar.
bles, and baseball,-in fact the
young people Of Dwight always
enjoy themse YES when together; /;

some, and clever, but above all,
they are good. The boys not only
Love the girls but love each other;
they also love and honor their
parents, and they enjoy the love
and confidence Of their parents.
Be it SAID to the credit Of the
v"ung peo lie of this neighbor-
hood that there is scarcely a to.
bacco or snuff user among them,
or young man that can be
induced to drink whisky. They
are Interested in themselves and
in each other. and a great many
OF them are ambitious for an
education. Many of the parents
are fully alive as to the impor-
tance OF giving their children up
to date educational advantages.
and besides they are energetic.
clever, and generous people.
Taking all these things into con-
s'deration, we can only predict
bright future for Dwight.
A numn-r Of the young men of
this neighborhood are pursuing
courses Of home study under the
American correspondence Nor
NAL. Thrv are we'll pleased with
their courses and are making nice
progress.
Dear reader, if you have made
some progress up the ladder of
life do not look upon those with
scorn or Indifference, that are on
the rounds below, but if you
discern their heart strength fail

This was a grand surprise to the joy

he had not expected to hear of their

come.
So Bridges. the center Of a group of
more or less admiring youngsters OF both
sexes, began after supper to speak out
what was uppermOst in his mind.
WHO would have thought Vance would
have got on at such a tremendous pace?'

and all the resources independent of his

summed up in just $25, 900 of invested

in others. This was his whole patrimony.
Besides his mother, he had the girls

Marriage? Well, Vance may nave
thought of that from time to time as a
thing to be desired for the girls but

"And what does your mother think of
your plan?'
Il have no mother. I have been living
with my married sister. My brother-in-
law died last year, SO I taught myself
stenography."
No need to go any further. So thought
Vance. He sent the office boy home as
soon as he had seen two of this young
Woman's letters of Introduction. Then
he shut up his office and took her home
to his mother.
1t is hardly worth mentioning that all
the st~enography Miss Lydia Catlin had
succeeded in teaching herself would
never have lightened Michael Vance's
professional labors to any appreciable
degree. But
But, to return to Bridges, I must say
hat his punishment was quite severe
enough to have been shared by all five
of the conspirators, as it should have
been. For the vice-president and the
cashier made him tell the whole story of
the plot. Then, speaking loudly and dis
tinctly, pointed out to him the error of
his ways, and finally presented him with
the alternative of publishing that apollo
g~y-signed-in the next mornings issue
of the paper or giving up his position in
the bank. Upon which Bridges prompt
ly resigned his position and started for
New Mexico next morning. Which is
why he never married Lillian Shadd, as
everybody had expected he would.
But, to return once more to Vance.
Three years later, having for the sixth
time refused to make that dark young
woman his stenographer-having, in fact,
employed another stenographer in the in
terval-he compromised by promising to
let her be an assistant stenographer-ex-
traordinary if she would become his wife
at the same time. In her eagerness to be
a stenographer, she accepted this COM
promise.
And that is why the other female mem
Der of the conspiring five is sorry for her

circumstances, he could hardly be ex-
pected to mix much more in mems society
than in Wonen's. Life was all one hard,
grim grind for him.
The odd thing about it, considering that
he was not over "a. was that he
seemed rather to like life. Perhaps he
had a taste for the grim and the hard.
That, at least, was what the other young
men said of him.
Vance is a sort Of cast-iron figure of
a man. said one of his few acquaint-
ances, half enviously, when a small par
ty of young people were talking him
Dver one evening at a dance from which
he, as usual, was absent.
The same e~pigrammatic youth was re-
minded of this saying a whole year later
by one of the young women Who had
heard him utter it.

With you tongue or your pencil?"
Bridges sarcastically asked.
But the upshot of this chatter and chaff
was a plot. Five young people united in
that plot, two girls and three young men;
and it is not uncharitable to imagine
that two of the conspirators have since
repented several times-the thing is at
least likely.
Anyhow, Vance, within a week of the
date of that party, received as many as
eight personal applications from young
women who wanted the position of steno-
grapher in his office. His office was hard
ly large enough, at that time, to hold
himself, his law library, one client and
one very small office boy.
