Special Correspondence to the Times
CHEswoLD, April 17.-This has been
a backward spring our farmers say, not
because it has been too wet, but be-
cause it has been unseasonably cold.
There is reported to be less water in
the branches and swamps than is usual
at the middle of April. Field work on
farms is very much behind. The peach
bud has not yet reached the opening
stage, but the apricot and some early
plums show the full bloom. The straw
berry yield here, it is thought, will be
much short of last year, because of less
acreage and neglected patches. The
prices last year was especially discour-
aging to renters.
There are some cases of mumps re-
ported in this vicinity and there is
some fear they will spread.
Mr.. j. HI. Anderson is giving his
residence a new coat of paint. A few
other spots IN town also have received
a new gloss.
There is movement on foot by the
Brenford people, we hear, to organize
Sunday School in their town. Tn ey

There was more made of Easter last
Sunday in Cheswold, than has ever
been. The day was ideal and the
church services were largely attended
in the morning, with or without new
suits or new hats, as the circumstances
might be. The church was modestly,
but tastefully decorated by potted

flowers, such as Easter lilies, cactus,
geraniums in bloom, and other choice
and rare specimens, neatly arranged
within the chancel railing by the la
dies. The choir also was out in force
and good voice to render some soul
stirring anthems, etc. And Pastor
Gardner preached an able and appro-
pirate discourse from the text "The
Lion of the tribe of Juda hath pre-
vailed" found in Revelations, in which
he frequently warmed into eloquence.
Not the least noticeable feature i'll the
service either, was the beautifully
drawn Sunday School lesson by Denny
Moore, blackboard artist. The pastor
was assisted in the morning by Rev.
G. X. Illick.
Miss Lottie Shahan is the appointed

Trinity Church Easter Services.-Easter
Service at Trinity Church were sue
cessful in ever way and it is doubtful
if the church was ever more beauti-
fully decorated thah those which
adorned the chancel and altar Sunday.
On each side of the altra there was a
bank of potted flowers and on the altar
there was a pretty dressing of trailing
arbutus, daffodils and hyacinths. The
choir rendered especially fine music
and the rector, Rev. Dexter Weeden,
preached a strong sermon from the
text: "He is Risen" At the Sunday
School in the afternoon, each child re-
ceived basket full of candy eggs. In
addition to this the jugs containing the
Lenten Savings were opened, much to
the inter est of the school, and the ag
gregate collection made by the chill
dren amounted to about $4,000 The
presentation of the banner of merit to

esting part of the program. In the

about tomato acreage of last year.
Michael Powell of Hartley, brought
suit against Isaac Robinson, the Balti-

one and one-half acres of tomatoes
which Powell sold to Robinson at his
Hartley canning factory, last summer.
Powell delivered to the cannery 277
baskets of tomatoes and had nearly as
many more to deliver, when, upon an
attempt to deliver them, they were re-
fused on the ground that there was a
quarter of an acre more than had been
bargained for. The amount sued for
was $75. The referees, Messrs.
Charles Denney, John Sattertield and
Joseph T. Hoffecker, after hearing the
evidence, awarded Powell $50 and

He raised his hand till it touched her
head; he essayed to draw it down
against his own, but she held herself
firmly erect.

most threateningly.
"Well, will not" he said. "Of course
I know what you want. The case was
thrown out of court. It was proved
that Sgd Hart accidentally shot himself
with his own pistol. Fanshaw was in
no way responsible. He is at home by

He felt her gasp, and then her head
fell on his shoulder, all the rigidness of
suspense was gone from her body; she
lay like one dead. He thought she had

the color ran into her face, and she
stood up before him.
ooh, papa! oh, papa!" was all she
could say, but world of unutterable
Joy lay in her tone. His cigar had gone
out; he took a taper from vase on
the mantelpiece and lighted it at the
fire, and as he applied it to his cigar
he felt his anger returning to him. The
outlook seemed so hopeless. She could
never be happy without Fanshaw-she
would be worse than miserable with
him, after she learned the folly of her
step. No, there must be some escape.
He would think it over again. He had
thought it over till it had become a
sort of monomania with him. Perhaps
some way of escape would present
itself. He led her to the door and
bowed silently as she turned from him
to go up to her room. He went into his
study and lighted lamp on his desk,
then he sat down and began to tumble
some papers which one Of his agents
had left for his inspection, but his mind
was clinging to Evelyn-Evelyn-

Embarrassing Position of an Absent.
Minded Woman Who Had Made
q Mistake.

A lady who keeps summer boarding
house at the seashore near Boston went
down the other day to look the house ever
and find out what must be renewed. She
found numerous umbrellas left by former
boarders, says the Boston Transcript, and
tying them together, she took the bundle
to Boston to have them repaired. She
stopped in at Hovey's and laid the bundle
on the floor at her feet at the counter.
When she had made her purchase, she for
got her umbrellas, and absent-mindedly
picked up an umbrella lying on the coun-
ter, thinking it was hers, or not thinking
at all, and Started off.
Then the owner Of the umbrella, wom-
an standing next her, seized her and said
very sharply: "You have taken my UNI
brela!' OF course she apologized, feeling
much cut up about it, and went on forget
ting in her fuster her own bundle of UNI
brelas. The next day, on her way to Cam
bridge, she went to Hovey's and readily
recovered her lost package of umbrellas,
which had been kept for her. On the car
for Cambridge she noticed lady cycling her
very closely Presently this lady leaned
forward and said to her, with elegant en-
phasis:
You seem to have been more fortunate
to-day"
1t was the lady whose umbrella she had
taken the day before.

CHAPTER XVII.

The colonel began to walk back and
forth in the room. Now and then he
would stray across the hall and pause
in the doorway to give half an ear to
Caroline, who was listlessly playing the
piano. Her music had never touched
him as had Evelyn's. Evelyn's songs
her lightest touch-seemed toinvite the
sweetest memories to his heart. Caro-
line looked up and saw him standing
in the doorway.
"Father," she turned on the stool.
"Nlr. Hardy has written asking me to
marry him; he says he will write to
you if l encourage him to do So"
uasbrooke advanced till he stood be-
hind her. Somehow he had little in
clinat ion to touch this one of his daugh-
ters. ''Well," he asked, 'have you
thought it over?"
Caroline turned a page Of her music

Then write him it is all right" re-
turned Hasbrooke, YEARLY, and they
went in to supper. Evelyn came down
a moment later. Her father wondered
at the transformation in her. In her
evening dress, she looked like flower
which had never been touched by
storm.
After they had left the table she
followed him to the door of his study,
but he coldly begged to be left alone,
and asked her to send James to him.
The servant found him at his desk.
Il want you TO bear message for
me, James," he said. IT want to have 4
private talk with Mr.. Ronald Ecushsw.
Go over to his house and present my
compliments, and ask him II he will
do me the honor Of calling on me this
evening if he has no previous engage
nent You remember my exact words,
james,"
The servant repeated them.
THAT will do, and when he comes
show him into this room, and see that
we are not disturbed"
''Thank you, suh.'
About eight o'clock Ronald rode up
to Carnleigh and turned his horse over
to waiting groom. At the foot of the
steps he was met by James, who, in a
low, guarded voice, invited him into his
masters study. As he passed the win
dow of the drawing-room the young
man had hashlight view Of Evelyn as
she sat reading at the center table un-
der tai lamp with pink shade. He
had never seen her countenance so ra.
dainty agiow. The thought took pos
session of his brain that it was due to
his release from prison. and that idea
was infinitely sweet to him after what
ne had been forced to endure.
