COURTING IN A HILL TOWN.
Where No HenrtIess Apologist Can
Find Valor to Defend
Single Life.
ITO BE CONTINUED.

We approve of marriage, of early
marriage, of hasty marriage, of mar
riage without bank account. We have
no liberation for Keats. 1t was he who
wrote:
Love in a hut with water and crust,
IS-Love, forgive uS!-cinders ashes dust"
Yes, but single life in Sweet Auburn
no heartless apologist has yet found
valor to defend it. For then must one
retain as housekeeper some neat-hand-
ed Phyllis of debatable years. So why
not marry her and cut short her wages ?
Or, still more felicitous contrivance,
why not marry at once and for youth
full love, and never hire any housekeep-
er at all? Besides, if you wait, the
merriest rosy-cheeked girls will be ir-
recovcrably appropriated by your
countless rivals. The choice is small:
be quick. Indeed, it requires diligent
back-pedaling to avoid the brink of
matrimOny. In town it is different.
Livery bills, florists bills, confection-
ers' bills, and the acquisitions of the

Mart" as Mr.. Chittenden was familiarly
called. relates the Chicago Chronicle, par
tally lost his hearing some years ago and
communication with him thereafter was one
of the fine arts Being the agent of
the Standard Oil company for large terri
tory. he travelled considerably, and on GER
tain occasion fell in with a couple of friends
1t Hillsdale, who invited him to go with them
to dinner at the house of resident ac-
ouaintance. One of them quietly said to the
host: ''Mr. Chittenden is an exceedingly
pious man and likes to have the food blessed
before partaking. You must invite him to
ask the blessing. ;,
Accordingly, when all were seated, silence
fell upon the company, while the host turned
to Mr.. Chittenden with "Will you ask the
blessing"
Up went Chittenden S hand to his ear, with
his usual, quick, nervous gesture, as in a
listening attitude he responded in tone
more decided than unctuous:
'I've grown so alfred deaf lately that if
you've got anything to say to me you'll have
to say it devilish loud"
A roar from the two friends disclosed to
Chittenden and the astonished host that
they had been the victims OF practical joke.
But "Chit" enjoyed it amazingly when he un-
derstood what had happened.

A VAGRANT FROM BOSTON.
He Astonished Bailin by His High
Flown Language In
Court.

Bailiff Kendig is recognized as something
of a wit. The first prisoner to be subjected
to the laconic thrusts of the bailiff in the
police court the other day was William
Ross, says the Washington Times. The
charge against him was vagrancy, and as
he was arraigned Kendig said, sotto voce:
"A rolling stone gathers no moss" He
then added, "that is a true saying" Much
to the surprise and chagrin of Kendig, Ross
replied without the faintest semblance of a
smile:
"Why do you not quote that aphorism cor
rectly? AS we say it in Boston it is: ANY
petrifed formation endowed with a rotary
motion shows no affinity for the collection
of lichenous particles.
''That will do from you,," said Kendig,
"you are charged as vag. Are you guilty OF
not guilty?"
Ross answered not guilty, but the evil
dence was against him. Policeman Gordon
declared that he found Ross begging at the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad station. Ross
claimed that the only begging he did was
to beg the policeman to release him. Judge
Mills sent Ross to the workhouse for 60 days
in default of bonds in the sum of 500.

When the pipes were empty he ac-
cepted Tarbox's offer and was soon ap-
parently asleep an example which was
followed by all but Taylor, who took
the first watch.
He was relieved by Tarbox, who in
turn aroused Avery, but the night
passed off without incident until dawn.
Tarbox and Taylor were sound asleep
in the tent with the stranger, who now
raised himself quietly on his elbow and
listened.
The two men were breathing heavily,
and mingled with their respirations
came the twittering of bird outside.
Carefully lifting the edge of the tent,
he peered outside.
Yes, daylight was coming. First
came little motion of the air which
had been still before. Then from a
bush near by was heard the chirp of
bird. The outlines of the forest be-
gan to be distinguishable where masses
had been.
1t was time to act. First he rolled up
the tent flap to provide retreat, then
with stealthy hand he removed the
weapons from the belts of the sleepers
and stole outside with them.
Just then thin red streak appeared
in the sky, and Avery, who had been
leaning against tree near by, came
toward him, saying:
"You are up early?"
"Yes," replied Turner, I'm goin' ter
see how the poor feller is gettin' on"
But Avery caught sight of the weap-
ons in his hands and his suspicious were
at once aroused.
"What are you doing with those re-
volvers?" he demanded, stepping to-
ward the other quickly and laying his
hand en- the butt of his own weapon.
Before Turner had time to reply
Hank Bowers and Obed Rider sprang
from behind a neighboring tree with a
weapon in each hand. The former
shouted:
Hands up!"
Avery obeyed instantly and Rider at
once disarmed him.
Turner sprang to the tent occupied
by the capitalist and before the latter
was fairly awake he was disarmed and
helpless.
The first shout had awakened TarboX
and Taylor, but without weapons they
| could make no resistance, and in less
than two minutes from the first sound
| the four men were seated on the
| ground, their feet secured with a rope,
while Clara Avery was bundled un-
| tremendously into one of the tents and
roughly ordered to stay there.
To attempt to describe the feelings OF
the prisoners would be hard task
They were like men stunned. The
whole thing had been accomplished sc
suddenly that they could hardly realize
it was not some fantastic dream.
Bowers and Turner wasted no time
After satisfying themselves that the

four men were securely fastened they
began at once to pack the gold on three
of the horses. In response to an order
from Bowers, Obed Rider disappeared
in the woods, but soon returned with
Tom and the second mate, their feet
having been released and the gags
taken from their faces.
Bidding Rider stand guard over the
party, Bowers gave his whole attention
the gold was strapped on the backs OF
three horses, three more were. saddled
for the robbers, while the remaining
pair was used to carry supply of food
and tent.
Realizing the uselessness of words,
our friends watched these prepara-
tions in dismay. They we'll knew that
the thieves could reach Dyea and
take steamer before their crime was
known, for without horses pursuit
would be hopeless.
When he had packed all he desired to
carry, Hank Bowers walked up to his
prisoners and sncered
Yer had the fust laff on me, but it's
my turn now, an rather guess I've got
| ther best end of it, hey?"
Seeing that they scorned to reply, he
went on:
"We're off to Dyea. By ther time yer
git thar we'll be some ways off on ther
water. 1 don't need all this grub, an
I'll leave yer plenty ter last yer ter
Dyea yerselves. That's fair, amt it?
Yer won't need eny guns. This trail is
safe enuff, an there's no sech thing as
holdups hereabouts."
Avery could restrain himself no
longer.
You dirty thief!" he exclaimed. 81
wish I had put bullet into your head
the night you sneaked into our cave!"
II dare say" was the mocling re-
sponse as Bowers turned away. but
yer were too big a fool! | wish yer all
better luck next time yer strike it rich.
| Come Cp. boys, let's strike out for Dyea
I'm in hurry to blow in some O this
dust"
The three men mounted their stolen
horses without further delay and hur-
ried away, leading the animals on
whose backs were the fortunes Of our
! friends.
Five minutes later they had disap-
peared in the direction of Dyea. and the
despoiled men were being freed by
Clara Avery and a sharp knife.
TarboX's first act was 10 spring to his
| feet, eXclaiming:
"Stay here until come back! Iwon't
be long!"
AS lie spoke he dashed off in the same
direction taken by the robbers. Half an
hour later he returned with his face
working strangely.

NATHAN HALEs sCHooLHoUsE.

A New York patriotic society for
months past has been trying to get an OPP
ton on the Nathan Hale schoolhouse in
New London. 1t was intended to buy the
property and remove 1t to New York. AS
soon as the plans of the New York So
ciety were earned by the board of man
ayers Of the Connecticut Society, Sons
of the Revolution, the members of that
body met in New Haven and look steps
to save h historic building for Con
necticut.
Hale was teaching in the building when
the Revolutionary war broke out. 1t is
now a dwelling house, filled with electric
lights and other modern appliances. Thu
present owner will part with it for a sum
which will recompense him for his out
lay.
President Jonathan Trumbull of the
board of managers of the state society
of the Sons of the American Revolution
has a six months option on the structure.
and steps are now under way to raise the
FUNDS to buy it. When bought the build

perfume on them or anything that hap

them. Here is a sample Of one received
