CHAPTER. III.


Dick and Mamie walked down to the
school house together, after supper, when
the chores" had all been disposed of.
The road led through pleasant woods,
for the greater part of the way, and
there is always something to be said
by young man to the woman he loves
in such a walk as theirs was, that makes
truants and loiterers of those who can
go fast enough on ordinary occasions.
The school house was quite full when
they reached it.
They entered the building to smoth-
cred chorus of giggles and tee-hees from
the boys and girls. Why is it that one
young person invariably makes sport of
another young person who is, or is sup
posed to be. in love? / never could sat
isfy myself why it was so, but that it is
so is fact. Your boon companion, your
bosom friend, will laugh at you merci-
lessly, if he suspects that you are a vic
tim of the tender passion.
The singing teacher was there, seated
in the chair Mamie occupied during
school hours He was quite a cookbook
ing fellow, Dick had to admit, with a
good deal of down below" style about
him. As Deacon Snyder told the neigh
Dor on his right:
TITS plain to be seen he's come from
out among folks, but it don't foller from
that that he knows quite all there is
about singin', by no means"
< The young mans face was cast IN a
mold which gave him regular features,
and to these were added the attractive
accessories of a pair of bright, keen eyes
and a fine beard which was carefully
kept He had an attractive smile, which
showed faultless teeth, and the clothes
he wore had a style about them very diff
ferent from that which characterized the
average Brownsville garment. You can't
get much style into pair of cover
ais and "wa'mus,' and these two ar
ticles of apparel, with the addition of a
coarse cotton or homespun flannel shirt,
constituted the garb of the young men
as we'll as the old ones in those days on
the frontier. But as Dick looked at the
young mans face keenly, he noticed GER
tain lines about the mouth and eyes thar
he did not like the looks of. He did not
pretend TO be a physiognomist, however,
and he might be mistaken. 1t was not
always wise to judge a man by his face.
and most mems faces told more about
their owner than this ones did. TO Dick
it seemed as if he wore a mask, but
through it he could catch, now and then,
a glimpse of that which it was worn to
conceal.

From COLLECTORS to Gnyernors.

1t is a rather remarkable fact that
three men who now hold commissions
as collectors of internal revenue were
on Tuesday last candidates for gov
ernors of their respective states, says
the Washington correspondent OF the
Brooklyn Eagle. Two of them were
elected by big majorities, ard the third
has fighting chance OF winning out.
Richard Yates of Illinois, son of the
war governor of that state, is now col
lector of internal revenue for the
eighth Illinois district He got the
nomination of the Republican party
for governor and carried the state by
tremendous majority A. B. White
holds a commission from President
Mckinley as collector of internal rev.
enue for the state of West Virginia.
He was the gubernatorial nominee of
his party this fall, and was elected
without much effort. John W. Yerkes,
who is now disputing with Beckham
the right to the governorship of Ken
lucky, Is the collector of internal rev.
enue for the eighth Kentucky dis,
triet. So certain was Yerkes that he
would be elected that he came on to
Washington a couple of weeks ago
and rendered his resignation from the
federal service The president has not
acted on the resignation. and he will
not do SO If Yerkes is defeated in the
contest for governor.-Boston Herald.
