showed below Ben's eyes the wings of
a dead butterfly.
The old fellow at first smiled in q
silly way; then he understood, and
his face turned pale.
Now come out and walk with me
to the rear of the house"
The old fellow wonderingly fol-
lowed. Look" she said, what do
you see sitting on that bench yon-
der?"
Ben's eyes almost started from his
head. On bench, on the same spot,
at the same season, where he and
another had sat just 20 years ago, he
beheld tall, Handsome young fellow,
and beside him a beautiful girl. In
their loves sweet dream they were
blissfully unconscious Of the hard,
practical world that beat on the
highways near them. Soft breezsa
flowed about their bowed, happy
heads, drenching them with nectarins
odors. Birds above flashed in the
sweet, lush foliage, and chatted
about love. Butterflies befreckled the

He looked down at Flora, and was
startled at the expression of her face
She seemed transformed in his eyes
A young face seemed to push through
the shadows Of 20 years and shine
beautiful again.

Ben Madden had long been q rich
old "widower." Passing the house Of
his erstwhEs sweetheart one day he
was startled at beholding a girl in the
yard that was the living picture of
one he had loved just 20 years before.
The sight of her stirred the damp
sshes in his old greedy heart, and loi
Some living Goals were foundi
The old man thought of the mort
gage he held on the widows farm,
and he fairly Rugged himself with joy.
The next day he called on the Widow
Osborne.

iron-gray hair from his forehead, "I

he took IT for the rose-hue of Joy.

Old Ben Madden was one of the rich
est men on Bowie creek. He had not
always been wealthy, however. Tween.
~ years ago he was quite poor. He
wan \ big, hne-looking young noun
taineer then, always rode a good horse,
and, in spite Of his poverty, he was
considered a great catch, even among
che weil-to-do girls. He was sober. in
dustrfons and thrifty.
One day he stopped at the house of
old George Latimer to look at n yoke
Of steers the latter wished to sell. When
he entered the door he was greeted by
q young girl of about 16, who stood
IN the middle of the room, and, blushine
softly, bade him take a seat"
"Pap Ia not in jest now" said the
young girl, but he'll come soon--he's
cut to the new ground field fxin' some
gaps in the fence"
Ben didn't care whether the old man
came or not. The beauty of the young
girl astopished him so that his mission
was forgotten. 1t was strange he had
never before known old George had a
pretty daughter. He lived within three
miles of him. In passing he had often
seen a beautiful child sitting on the
fence or playing in the yard. But that
was ouly a few days ago, seemingly.
Now, here was the bud in full, luscious,
odorous blossoml
He was always, before, instantly
ready to start conversations with girls
whether acquainted with them or not,
when chance threw them in his way
But now, for the first time, he felt a
Hush of embarrassment. The girl sat
down, and occasionally timidly glanced
at him, but ducked her head like
bird when her eyes met his.
1t was a case of love at first sight
The young people had few words to ex-
change. Their hearts were too busy
with the first delicious sensation of love.
Time went on, and Ben became a
weekly visitor at old Georges log
house.
One day the lovers were sitting on
q rude bench out in the orchard. Birds
sang love songs up among the waving
collage. Bees doomed in the clover,
and butterflies dappled in the air with
many fast-changing hues. Soft breezes
wheeled slowly about them, half swoon-
4ng with delicious odors. Like a rose
Overborne with dew, the head of the
young girl rested on a leaning shoulder.
a small hand, like little brown bird,
nestled in big, strong palm. All the
Joys known before, all the blisses the
future promised, seemed to gather
and commingle in that sweet hour. The
eouPie were specifies, awed into ST.
slsnce by what they heard, felt and saw.
Ere long a golden butterfly, on wab-
''oling wing, zigzagged TO their harbor.
II flashed about their heads for a Sec
Ond or two, then hesitatingly rested
On the twined hands of the lovers. Not
knowing what he did, Ben let fall his
free hand and crushed the butterfly.
ats frail wings fell in Flora's lap.
"Oh, poor thing!" she exclaimed,
looking at Ben with eyes of soft re-
4uke.
Al didn't aim to do that" said Ben, re-

could he raise the requisite capital to
begin filling the order, small fortune
awaited him within a few months.
Abe money-making spirit seized him,
and drove love into the rear. He rode
here and there, trying to borrow the
money, but failed
But he wouldn't let that fortune go
by, after knocking so loudly at his

Armstrong had $4,000. He instantly
wOoed, won and welded the "widder."
