THE CHILD WIDOW.

The twilight of mid-July was full of
tender, opal brightness; the scent of
new-mown hay, coming Gown from far
Off breezy slopes, foated in the air,
and Just beyond the elms in the hollow.
the full moon was rising up, great
globe of pearl And from ller low seat
beneath the overhanging honeysuckles
Bertha Wyman saw and felt all this
summer beauty with the faint, blissful
languor of tropic dream.

Paul Fordham crossed the broad rib
bon of moonlight that huttered over the
piazza and came to sit down at his
hancee's feet.
You are like picture tonight.
Bertha; do you know it?"
Am II" Miss Wyman was accus-
toned to adulation, and took it very
coolly, with only a royal smile flung
down to her admirer.
She was like a picture-fair and
gracious, with blue eyes and great coils
of golden hair bound about her head.
while even in the uncertain twilight
you could see that the color in her
cheeks was softer and more tenderly
tinted than the blossoms of the great
oleander at her side.

a little start, as light footstep sound

Raymond. By the way, Bertha, what
a very interesting little thing she is
such child widow, with those big
black eyes, and the heavy lashes that
seem actually to weigh down her eye
lids! She makes me think of one of
those exquisite little South American
birds, all grace and sparkle"
Il never could account for the taste
of you men," said Bertha, half con-
temptuously.
NO. but she is a beauty, by Jove, !

Miss Wyman laughed a strange, IN
natural sort OF laugh. Up to this mo-

the draught was maddenfng. How

When families look into the adyan-
tages Of municipal ownership of light
ing and water plants; when they
study the practical workings of these
reforms as seen in European cities
there viii be changes in municipal
government. A knowledge alone

wife and mother and trains young
people to prize our institutions.

There is an excellent reason which
keeps me from giving a detailed ac-
count OF the journeys made during the
last campaign. 70 rise with the lark,

ktrair stopped, pushing and scrambling
went on outside. Strong little hands
clutched the window frames and dirty
faces peered in. Why don't he come

some of the phrases belonging to such
occasions
But with all his apparent loyalty to

than once slip off his yellow badge and
hide it Ia order to get button from my
hand. At other times he has shouted
long and loud for honest money, and
fought the next minute to secure
flower from my bouquet.
But with all these little tricks pecul-
lar to boyhood, he was pleasing factor
in the campaign. Faithful to the last,
he ran after the train until he was ex-
hausted. l found great amusement in
dropping apples of discord, looking
strangely like campaign buttons, along
the track and watching the exciting
contests which followed More than
once did l feryently wish that all this
wealth of energy and push may be di-
rected to paths of sobriety and good
citizenship. Our country needs no
other safeguard
To my mind might meetings rank
first in point of effectiveness. The
small space saved from the grasp Of
darkness by blazing torches, the sharp
outlines, the ghost-like futter of ban
ners in the twilight rim of the crowd,
the intensity Of sound which comes
with the night combine to make an
impressive scene.
/ recall with especial pleasure one
picture in cur reception at Cleveland,
Ohio. The time of our coming was
particularly opportune, namely at the
early twilight. Before US rose a mas
siTe arch, seemingly bit of ancient
Rome tfansplanted foF our pleasure.
This effect was heightened by the sol
diers' monument at our right whose
tall shaft in the uncertain light did
duty as the column of Trajan. Crowd
ed upon its pedestal and at its base,
filling streets, windows and even trees,
was multitude Of cheering people,
while thousands of hags waved LIS a
gentle welcome. ! cite this, one Of
many instances. to show that the ar
ttstic sense may find qualification even
in campaign.
The pathetic side of life was very
much in evidence Oue saw an earnest
ness and depth OF feeling which seem
ed to belong rather to religion than to
politics, l will not quote the words
of loyalty and benediction which were
daily spoken, but these evidences of
genuine good will can never be for
gotten.
Among the more unusual features
may be mentioned the interest taken
by women. This activity was not con-
fined to any one party, but was found
everywhere. Personally, I am glad the
women We're aroused. This movement
does not involve the question of
woman suffrage.

His face was fairly radiant with
honest pleasure as he looked down
into Bertha's face. She did not see the
gaze; her eyes. wide open and dilated,
were fixed on vacancy, and her face was
deadly white
Merciful God of Heavenl what had
she done. in the wild. unreasoning mad
ness of her Jealousy! Was she muir
deress? Was the blot of Cain upon her
brow?
Alas! for the wild remorse that
gnawed at her heart all the slow,
creeping hours Of that dreadful night!

been hers, she would have cheerfully
given it all to undo the work of those
few maniac minutes on the lonely

hope and beauty to wipe out that brief
half hour of her life!
When she rose the next morning she
looked as if an illness OF months had
passed over her head.
"How i'll you hook, dear!" said her
aunt. I'm afraid that walk was too
much for you yesterday. And it's so
strange that Zaide did not come home
last night
"Strange!" AS Bertha closed her
heavy eyes she almost seemed TO see
the dead face, turned upward, among
the water-lilies, with its wealth of jetty
hair tangled amid their wreathed
stems! Oh, Cod! as long as she lived.

If ever woman spoke from the bot

out to join her husband In India; and
month afterward Paul Fordham was
married to Bertha. whose unwonted

MORBID SENSE OF INJURY.
In Certain Temperament 1t IL
Marked More Especially In
Suspicious People.

BY this sense of injury" is meant
that vague sense which affiicts many OF
us at times Of being the objectsof hos
tile feelings on the part Of others, says
Popular Science Monthly. No doubt
we often are, for, in the stress OF the
necessary rivalry and conflict upon
which progress depends, we give and
take injuries. But there remains a
large excess of this injured feeling
which cannot be SO explained, or which
is disproportionate to it's cause or en-
tirely gratuitous, and is thus shifted
into the field of morbid psychology
This only is here treated-the morbid
sense of injury.
1t seems to find an easy entrance to
the mind from mere feeling of being
ill-used or stinted in sympathy to the
entertainment of serious grievances
or persecutory ideas. In certain tenn
peraments it is marked. On so-called
''blue" days we are constantly moved
to "sense of injury" from fancied
aloofness of our friends. Madam Lofty
Sights us, and our jaundiced i,nagina-
ton has it that she has heard some
thing detrimental and disiiles us. But
To-! to-day, when the liver is, released,

ious construction. They anticipate ILL

A play from way down East, the story
told in "Uncle Josh Spruceby' the
scenes of which are taken from farm
life in the Vermont hills, is charming in
it's simplicity and homely humor. The
characters are not overdrawn, but are
true to life. Uncle Josh the honest old
farmer; Aunt Jerusha, the "just over
Dutchman'' and the green goods" man
are some of the characters introduced.
The startling realistic saw miIlscene, the
farm yard, husklng bee. and old fashion,
ed country dance are scenes which are
introduced. The production is hand
somely staged, q full carload Of scenery
and mechanical effects being carried.
Many new specialties are introduced and
superb orchestra of 16 soloists are one
of the features.

STRUGGLING YOUNG AUTHOR.
His Felicity Upon Receiving Check

cording to the New York Sun. Per

they can't get it in at the door, but
the fact that they owe me something
