Ny Dear Mr.. Marcy
''HaI has told me how things stand be-
tween you and him, ard write TO tell you
that I VIII never marry him so long as your
opposition continues I absolutely refuse to
stand in his way i want TO assure you
that nothing he can say will alter my de-
termination. This decision IS final So
there IS no reason why you should cOnsid-
Ct me IN planning for him OF IN carrying
out any OF your intentions regarding him
You are at liberty 20 show him this letter.
AMANDA GRAY"
''Wa'al, son, wat be We a-gOin' ter do,
naow?" asked Josiah Marcy, when Hal
had finished reading Mandy's note,
and had handed IL back to his father.
Nothing different, father. I cannot
accept this sacrifice at her hands. I
would be less than man If 1 accepted
what you offer me at such a cost
Don't be a fool, boy" Josiah pro-
tested.
''No; nor won't be a Poltroon
either" declared Hal. Tomorrow I
shall go away and try to disaPpOint
you by showing you and Mandy, too,
that somewhere and somehow I am
capable of earning my own living, and
when I have shown that I can earn
enough for two I shall come back for
her"
In the light Of his previous expert
euee Hallett Marcy was laying out a
rather large contract for himself in
making this declaration. In fact his
demonstrated lack of business ability
was responsible for the present situa-
ton. Yet in other respects he was far
from a failure He had a fine cbarac-
ter, an affectionate nature and a hand
some presence. He had stood high at
college. He had refined tastes But
he was entirely deficient in those Prac-
teal commercial qualities-that had
enabled his father to develop from a
common laborer to a wealthy mill
owner.
Josiah was ambitious to realize In
his son the culture and social priv
Ieges that fortune had denied to him.
The Goodland republic. [volume] (Goodland, Kan.) 1891-1907, 1902-03-14

He had planned that Hal should 60
abroad, travel, study, write and do
the things that interested him, and in
time perhaps marry some girl who
should be his intellectual equal and
his social superiOr-though Josiah did
not put It to himself in exactly that
way.
But Hal loved Amanda Gray, his
quOndam schoolmate and playmate,
and wanted to marry her. Amanda
was poor; her mother ran a boarding
house for JOsiah's mill hands; but Hal
loved her. He knew the strength and
sweetness of her unselfish nature, and
he had refused to carry out his fathers
wishes unless Amanda could share in
the advantage Josiah had planned for
him. And when his father had refused
his consent, Hal had astOnished that
local and domestic autocrat by de
handing the few thousand dollars held
in trust for him from his mother, and
had gone to the city and invested it in
business
1t was the old story of the man with
capital and the man Nth experience
over again. In six months his little
Patrimony was gone and Josiah had
been forced to pay out heavily to save
the family credit But the old man
loved his son, though IN his own way.
and he renewed his former offer to set
tie a handsome sum on the boy If he
would give up Mandy He gave him
two days in which to make up his
mind
Hal laughed his father to scorn
and ssvore he would marry Mandy
anyhOw. shell marry me no mat

WHEN TED,s AWAY.

When Teddy has gone for a visit
such a change as comes over the house
There's not from one day to another
Enough racket TO startle a mouse
The cook Is no longer mOlested.
The puppies are never at strife,
GranCpa's midday nap is unbroken,
And the cat has some peace OF her life.
There Is no one TO ask endless questions
And no one TO race through the hall,
There IS never whOOp or whistle
And never door banged at all
No coaxing to tell US story
And never lesson to say
Oh, the house IS delightfully."- quiet
And peaceful when Ted IS away!
But then there IS no bOyish laughter
To make even burdens seem light
And no little tired lad to cuddle
On g motherly shoulder at night
And no one TO whisper at bed time,
With a shy, tight hug and kiss,
That IN All the wide world he is certain
There isn't a mother like his
There is no one o run on an errand
And no one with secrets" to tel,
There IS no one 70 find Grandpa's glasses
And hunt for his slippers as well;
And somehow or other were feeling
That an hour seems Is long as day
Oh. the house is 50 Creadfully quiet
And lonesome when Ted IS away.

NEW USES FOR NEW F URs.
Russian Pony and White oaIf-sEina
Are Sent 20 London for No
1OrIsts' Suits

Russia is sending rs q couple Of
very novel pelts, the skins Of ponies
and Of calves for making motor-csr
dresses and coats, and for the Rus
sian blOuses wealthy women are
the London Mail.
The skins Of the ponies are not
very large and are forwarded, names
and all, to the furriers, but 50 far
the names have not been made use
full Perhaps the toy trade VIII
eventually profit by them, and the
fiery nursery steeds OF the rocking
horse and Gray Dobbin persuasion
be equipped with the long silky hair
Of these creatures.
Anyone who has Travelled in Russia
viii know the pale, tawny shade Of
the native pony, almost lion-like in
color. 1t is also the commonly met
hue Of the little Scandinavian horses
driven in Norway almost exclusive
", and much seen, too, In Sweden
and Finland. The skin dyes brown
and a lovely Jet black most success
fully, and is so strong that It is IN
commonly suitable for rough-wear
wraps
Nor is it outrageously- expensive A
Russian blouse made of it comes to
s1s guineas- Motorists in the femi-
nine world are wearing enormous
coats stiIl, but newer than these are
short, jaunty fur skirts and pouched
bOlerOs to match.
Russian pony suits are certain to
please them, and fur caps Of the
pelt are sent out with the. toilette,
so that the whole picture is com
plete.
The Russian calf makes very pref
ty snow-white coats, tufted with
black, and charming revers. cuffs,
ties and muffs for cloth redingotes.
To some eyes this pelt viii resemble
miniver, but there is a huge mon
etary difference between It and er-
mine as well as a visible one, espe-
eially as miniver-which is really
ermine tufted with the black tips Of
the tails only, instead Of the tails
themselves daily going up in
price IN view Of the coronation and
its requirements.
