CHAPTER XIV.
What Has Changed Herr"

More than two years had passed
since Ethel Gordon had contracted her
fatal marriage VOWS; what she had
foreseen came true. The smart of her
pain, the intolerable anguish, had died
away-had given place to a dull stu
por, from which she made no effort to
arouse herself BY this time she real
lied what she had done. aud knew
that as long as life lasted there was no
hope, no chance for ner; she would
have to bear her burden in secrecy
and misery until death released her.
She had grown resigned to 1t with a
hopeless, proud, cold kind of resiSna-
ton; she suffered proudly, even as
she had sinned.
Helen Digby had grown accustomed
to the change. while the servants had
ceased 10 comment upon 1t; and when
sir Leonard returned IL struck him
with all the force of a terrible blow.
+. He came home one autumn evening.
and his first words were: Where is
Ethel?"
She had not FASTENED to greet him as
she thought she would Conscience
had made a coward of her She was
almost afraid he would read her Sc
cret in her sace-that face of which he
had once been so proud
Slowly and quietly she came to him;
the evening light shone full upon her
IL showed him clearly the colorless
che aks, the sad eyes, and for few
moments he hardly recognized hiS
darling. She had been wont to talk
with such light, buoyant grace-hev
steps had made music in his cars; now
every moment was sad and slow, Sir
Leonard looked at her in dismay
Helen, he said, lis this Ethel?
My darling, what have you been do
ing? What has happened to you?"
She elung round his neck, her ten
der arms holding him rs though she
would never let him go again. She
shed p few quiet tears hopeless,
despaiung tears; his presence brough;
the old happy life back TO her so for
cibly--the life wherein she had been
SO free, SO happy-wherein she had
carried no terrible burden of fear and
DESPAIR.
Sir Leonard unclasped her arms and
7 locked earnestly at her.
How beautiful you have grown.

OF a sad woman, not of bright young

eyes.
Papa, do not think me wanting in

that it would make me i'll to see one.Y
Sir Leonard laughed aloud.

other girls. | should have thought
that of all things a wedding would
have pleased you best.
He laughed and SPOKE estingly; but
he was startled at the pallor of her

"A wedding will make you feel
young again" returned Sir Leonard.
Seriously, Ethel, you must comply
with my wish. To do otherwise would
be to slight Helen in the eyes of the
world, and that | am sure you do not
desire"
Il should be willing to do that" she
said, gravely. IF you insist, or if you
think it needful, l will comply"
"Will you tell me, Ethel, why you
dislike weddings?" asked Sir Leonard.
The words had struck him painfully.
81 think they are very solemn, very
grave affairs" she replied, trying to
speak lightly; and her father felt re-
lieved-it was only a girlish, nervous
fancy after all.
The wedding-day came. Helen Dig
by was married from Lady Stations
house, and Lady Station made the
most of brilliant entertainment. The
bride looked very fair and comely,
the bridegroom manly and gallant;
but every one there talked in low
tones of the marvellous beauty, the
pale, starry loveliness of the young
girl who was Helens bride-maid--the
girl who, while the solemn marriage
service was read, drew her white lace
shawl round her shoulders and shud-
dered as with mortal cold
They talked in low tones, wondering
what 1t was about the girl that seemed
so cold and strange-wonderin why
The marvellous face never lighted up,
nor the beautifully-curved lips parted
with a smile.
Ethel's loneliness and grace created
some little excitement among Lady
Stations gu, Is; the ladies all adj
mired her, the men were quite enthu-
siastic about her: but although the
most delicate, subtle, graceful flattery
was offered to her, and the most ex-
luisite compliments were paid to her,
no one could boast of kind word or
a smile from her.
Amid the splendor of the wedding,
the homage that fioated around her,
the admiration her loneliness excited,
Ethel never forgot one thing-that she
was the wife of a forger and a thief.
The guests might wonder at the grave,
proud, collected manner, but no one
even suspected the secret that had
brought to Ethel death in life

My mother was appraised of the in

Miss Mae Defrees and Mr.. Lee Traul
were out boatidg on Silver Lake Sat
urday evening, and came very near be-
ing drowned. Lee leaned over to get
his hat which had fallen on the water.
Miss Defrees leaned to watch his effort
and in an instant the boat had upset
and they were both in the water. They
came upon different sides of the boat,
and Lee swan to rescue the young lady
and helped her up on the boat which
had turned over; but it being slippery
Miss Defrees slid off at once into the
water and was going down the second
time when Mr.. Traul again came to
her rescue. Mr.. Edgar Warvel and
Miss Howenstine, who were in another
boat, made their way to their friends
and the two who were in the water
held on to that boat until, G.. M. Odor
hearing the cries for help came from
shore to their assistance. Even then
Mr.. Traul was the most collected, for
Mr.. Odor in his excitement said, "Oh,

A PIONEER GONE.

Esq. James Henry, one of the oldest
pioneers of the county, died Sunday
night, at his home in Monroe township,
near the deep cut. He was taken sud-
denly ill, about 1000 o'clock, and tell
ing his wife he believed he was going,
he asked her to ring the bell, to call
some of the neighbors. She rang the
bell, and coming back found him
breathing heavily, and he asked her to
ring it again. She did so, and return
ing, found his spirit had taken it's
fight.
Mr.. Henry was born on farm in
Jefferson township, May "a, 1915, and
at 20 years of age married Sarah A..
Kouskop, daughter of George Krous-
kop, who lived on the Zanesfield road,
just east of Bellefontaine. To them
nine children were born, several of
whom are dead.
In 1889, he moved to the farm on
which he died, about a half mile from
where he was born. He was highly
esteemed by all who knew him.

LOVELY LAKE RIDGE.
A Pleasant Party of PicnicI<ers Visit
the Noted Resort.

Friday was an ideal day for an outing,
and party of II Bellefontaine picnick-
ers sat down to a bountiful dinner at
Lake Ridge, and enjoyed the pleas
ires that only such day and such a
resort can furnish. Every year makes
this deli ghtful rural resort more charm
ing. 1t never looked so pretty before,
and dash of rain only accentuated the
enjoyment. The Lake and Reservoir
are higher than in fourteen years, and
there is greater expanse of waters
and fewer soggy logs stick up their
ungainly sides to be warmed by the
sun. There are not so many bass be-
ing caught as usual, for the little fish
have fewer hiding places, and the big
bass are not looking for single sinners
on single hooks, but are going after
whole schools of the little fish. But
when the waters assuage, then look out
for the big bass that have fattened and
grown on the bountiful diet the high
waters have furnished them.
For genuine quiet rest, pure air,
PLACID waters, beautiful scenery, pleas
ant surroundings, and just a. quiet step
aside from the world, Lake Ridge has
few equals. No locomotive with its
piercing scream has taken the place of
the banished panther. No electric line
with its head-buzzing hum has fright
ened the birds; no mills have befouled
the waters; no pixies with their rattling
teams, disturb the feathered song
sters, or suggest hard work and hard
travel; no pretentious hotels sug-
gest the world of lolling fashion, or
vulgar display of shoddy idleness; but
there is the calm and content of q COM
munion with Nature in her silent soli-
tudes, and q play upon her placid
waters that mirror the beauties Of earth
and sky, all like dream-as it was
when the dusky brave looked into the
dark eyes of his tawny love, as they
padded their canoe over Indian lake,
and basked in its beauty. This is nc
more poetic than real. And:this is why
Lake Ridgelis an ideal resort for those
who would lay aside the cruel cares OF
life and study dream of nature. Its
naturalness is it's attractiveness; its
rusticity is it's rest.

STARTS ANEW!
After Twenty Years, the Peoples
National Bank Renews Its
Charter.

Saturday afternoon, the Peoples Ma
tional Bank completed it's first twenty
years as National Bank and renewed
its charter for another twenty.
The regular semi-annual dividend of
= per cent. was declared, and the Bank
organization continued without any
change of officers or management.
Under the new charter all bills issued
will be from new plates and be red
backs instead of greenbacks, to be paid
out as the old issue is taken in.
Since its organization as The Peo-
ple's National Bank, the bank has lost
but two Directors-Abner Riddle and
J. M. Dickinson. The Bellefontaine
National Bank has not been so fortu-
nate, all the original Directors and
three others having died-Wm. Law
renee, J. B. Mclaughlin, w. V. Mar
quis, S. w. Goe, J. N. Allen, Russell
Bissell, Jos. Curry and VIM. Neer.

UNION rlEETINGS.

The evening Union services for the
summer, were inaugurated by very
large attendance at the First Presbyter-
ian church, Sunday evening. The
house was crowded, even to the disor-
derly galleries. There were thirteen
ministers present, yet the meeting
was pronounced success. The ser.
mon was preached by DIR. Fish, Presid-
ing Elder of the M. E. Church. IT.,
central line of thought was the evil in
volved in the service of Satan, and the
sure reward and triumph of the church
and her servants-the text being Mat.
XIII, IL to Is inclusive. 1t was a
plain, forcible gospel sermon. Miss
Coulter's organ numbers were unusual
ly good ones, and the choir sang two
beautiful anthems. This first meeting
augurs well for a successful series
through the summer.
