THAD AND AIS ENGAGEMENT.
After a pleasant evening, the
more pleasant duty of the drive
home was to be undertaken, and
somehow, although the night was
dark and the October wind was bois-
ferrous, the distance was far too
short for Thad. He had decided
to enter into a conversation that
night on which much of his future
happiness might depend, and felt
that all his native courage would
be necessary to sustain him
through the ordeal.
81 thought Al in a particularly
bouyant and happy frame OF mind
tonight, much more so than you,
Sir thoughtful
Il assure you, Huldah, that [
have passed an exceedingly pleas
ant evening; but as the time for
my departure from the pleasant
home [ have found is near at hand,
L cannot but feel a regret that it is
necessary and that the pleasures
of life are so transitory.'
II did not know that you were
contemplating a change. What
has made one necessarily
an the first place, my contract
with your father has been con-
summated, and all promises as be-
tween him and me have been re-
deemed. [ may have other rea-
sons. but that one would be sufi-
Gent
(Which being Interpreted means,
l suppose, that l must not be
inouisitive? You should not thus
tamper with a woman's rights. Is
your mind fully made up as
to leaving us, or could you
be induced to stay if it was
made plain to you that your serv-
ices we're still required?"
''Huldah, [ have learned many
things since [ came to live in your
fathers home that have made a
lasting impression upon me and
my future. Chief amongst them
is one upon which [ falter to speak,
for so much is at stake that the
loss, from my standpoint, would
be appalling. Yet its consumma-
ton, would so greatly enhance my
future happiness, that cowardly
though I feel, and altogether pre-
sumptuous, [ mustspeak oft, trust
ing that the answer [ seek may
result not only in my own happi-
ness, but in that of one whom my
heart holds most dear. If [ have
set my ambition too high, the fall
will be the greater, and [ the one
to suffer.
''The meagre position [ now hold
in society does not warrant a sue
cessful issue to all that Hope, the
most brilliant star of the heavens,
has held out to me, and as [ realize
the magnitude of my wishes, [ am
appalled, in the thought of disaster
that may be awaiting me. Yet
from the very nature of my sur
roundings, I am made bold, for by
the every day life of your parents,
I learn that their estimate of worth
is not by riches or vast possessions,
but by the intrinsic value Of the
object. And feeling that under
their constant teaching, much that
has become Of their nature part,
NAV have been instilled into you,
I make this declaration of my love
for you.
EDO not consider me over pre-
sumptuous until you have given
my question thought, and believe
me when I say, that my heart is
yours, and is my most generous
gift
After this monologue there was
long season of silence, lasting in
fact, until they drove into the yard

filled his heart with hope.
"Theodore," she said, 81 think
you will have to make new con-
tract with papa and take poor me

Why irtrude upon such JOY as
this! Nature needs chance to
overflow her feelings, and this we
will readily grant.
The next morning-quite early
it seemed-Al and Martha made
their appearance.
After depositing Martha at the
house, Al came directly to the
stock yard, and grasping Thad by
the hand, wrung it as only he
could, exclaiming: ''Thad old boy,
congratulate me, I am the happi-
est man in the whole world today"
II can't agree with you, AL, for
there is one exception and that's
me-
"You don't mean it old fellow!'
"Now that seems almost too
GOOD TO he true: of course I don't
need to ask why, nor doEyou. Come
up to the house and we'll have it
out with the old folks at once"
AS they neared the house they
were met by Huldah and Martha,
and the four proceeded together to
the interview that was inevitable.
Al appointed himself as spokes-
man for the party, and addressing
the kind old couple, said:
1--WE have called on you this
morning, I fear, through selfish
motives, to ask you to give into
our care that which you will find
it hardest to part with. Feeling
that had we come singly your pro-
testations would have outweighed
our supplications, we have come
in force, prepared if need be to
take the fort by storm. We have
come to ask of you what was your
greatest care in your early mar
ried life, what was your pleasure
and pride in maturer years and
what has for some time past been
your JOY and happiness, and the
sunlight Of your home. In fact
we love your daughters, they have
returned our affections in kind and
have promised to be our wives.
We want your. sanction, approval
and blessing"
"The Lord love you boys and
girls, Hetty and [ have suspi-
cioned you for some time, and if [
hadn't been agreeable all along [
should have said so in plain Ian
guage. I've always lowed as how
we needed boy on this farm to
make things go all right, and now
we've got two in sight; that is if
you can make dicker along with
Hetty, for you know you have
only small part Of the deal
through when your done with me.
Let me advise you that whatever
comes in life, sorrow or Joy, just
divide it up with your wife, and
you'll find that two can carry the
burden twice as easy.
'Now Hetty, what do you say
to these young upstarts?"
eff my girls are happy, and my
husband is pleased, l can have
nothing to say that should in any
way hinder their happiness. On
account Of giving up SO much, all
at one time, l claim privilege
that must be granted before you

be granted"

IS NOT PERE
MARQUETTE
Wisconsin's Present to the Nation
is a Fanciful En-
bodiment.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-According to
the Washington correspondent of the
Herald the statue of Pere Marquette,
in Statuary Hall in the capifof, about
which there was almost a religious war
a few years ago, turns out not to be
the statue of Pere Marquette at all.
This statue was presented to the ma
ton by the state of Wisconsin. Objec-
lions We're raised To its installation in
the capitol by persons of other than
Catholic denomination and for many
months the authorities hesitated as to
what they should do. They finally gave
Pere Marquette a place with other
prominent men.
A discovery has aow been made of an
oil painting of Marquette in Montreal,
which Indicates that the statue is as far
from being an accurate representation
of the famous priest as day is from
night. The painting in Montreal, it is
said, is undoubtedly authentic and was
Sc covered with dust that no outline of
the portrait could be had until 1t had
undergone a careful cleaning.
Tt is believed that this painting is the
only likeness of Marquette in exist
ence, and the face in oil is not the face
Of the Marquette in marble at the
capitol.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-The factNthat
the Rev. James lie Baron Johnson, who
left the city simultaneously with the
disappearance of Mary Hoffman, was
formally deposed from the ministry of
the Protestant Episcopal church. about
a week ago has become known to his
friends in this city. It was learned to-
day that ne was deposed from the min
istry at his own request, and the an
nouncement of his deposition states
that there is no. reflection upon his
moral character in the proceedings. .
Mr.. Johnson disappeared about two
weeks ago. About the time of his dis
appearance he wrote to Bishop Potter
expressing a determination to give up
the ministry and requesting that an
announcement of the deposition be
made. Bishop Potter caused the an
nouncement to be made at the Church
of the Ascension, Fifth avenue and
Tenth street, although Mr.. Johnson
had not been associated with the work
of that church.
Mr.. johnson had resigned his place
as assistant rector of Grace church and
his resignation had been accepted. He
had resigned the place of chaplain in
the fire department and Fire Commits
sioner Scannell had placed the letter of
resignation on file.
