Majority Findings.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE following
statement was given out by Admiral

a conference with his client today:
admiral Schley has decided to ap-
peal from the majority opinion of the
court of inquiry to the President of
the United States, as the commander

gained one look after the fair deposit
or, and treasured himself of her good
looks, and that Jacob Bean, the elderly
hired man, was not to be feared as a
rival.
'That was old Mr.. Highlands girl
that was here just before snow came -
Jonas told his chief, with great interest,
for Mr.. Pendell had spoken warmly of
the farmer.
Come, step round, Jonas, and get on
with your work." urged the cashier
Seems to me it's one of your numb days
and we've got to drive work. It's bad
time to spare Downs" Even this re-
bul1e did not destroy the junior clerks
sense of pleasure. He laid the clean
bank book on Downs desk, with lin
gering touch. He wished that the proper
place for it was on his own desk. Bank
books had seemed alike uninteresting
until that moment.
As for Love Hayland, she had forgot
ten two of her mothers commissions
this time instead of one and was Jog
ging home speechless with delight.
There was stormy weather late that
winter, and the roads were drifted
then there came long season of rain
and thaw, while Loves book lay un-
claimed in the safe. At last she APP
peared one Saturday morning in March,
when the sun was shining like May and
the crows were thick and the road
nearly bare of ice and snow all the way
to town. 1t was the first day that
seemed like spring and winter clothes
were already too heavy. Spring was in
the air and spring was in Love Hay
lands look as she rode in the old chaise
at her fathers side and waited while he
tied the horse to stone post in front
of the bank. Then they went in to-
gether; the girl had no idea of letting
anyone else do her business there.
Jonas had seen them drive up and
was in a fiutter of anticipation. He
had the bravery to elbow Hathaway
aside from the counter. Mr.. Pendell and
Joel Hayland were exchanging their
usual friendly jokes and compliments.
Joel had sold some of his young stock
and had come to town with the money.
Mr.. Pendell retreated presently to his
high desk to make up an account of

on between Love and Jonas. 1t took a
good while to credit her with that
twenty dollars for her months school
keeping, and to display and explain the
unexpected amount of interest due her
in arrears. Then there was a moment
of silence except for the scratching of
Hathaway's pen.
''Was you ever to Oak Hill?' Love
asked Jonas sweetly, in the hearing of
all present.
Joel Hayland turned with sudden
alarm and took good look at the
junior clerk before he had time to
speak. 81 expect you're old Jonas Dy-
er's nephew by your looks. heard you

you're over our way. 'Tain't so pleas
ant now as it will be later on, but the
road is settlin' fast. Good day, Mr.
Pendell; much obleeged to you, sir" The
father and daughter departed and
Jonas was conscious of that within him
which would oblige him to knock down
anybody who prea umed to smile. AS

CHAPTER ".

The next Sunday afternoon, Jonas,
out of his limited means, hired the
smartest single turnout at the best
livery stable in hartford and drove
toward Oak Hill. 1t was like spring
overhead, but the mud was deep under
foot and he had to walk his impetuous
steed the greater part of the way. The
day seemed to him perfectly beautiful,
and when he was directed to the Hayland
farm nobody can describe how pleasant
and comfortable it looked. 1t was JOY
enough to be out in the country after
being cooped up so long in town. He
had been promising to go to see his
mother at the first good opportunity,
but he did not feel the least shame at
this selfish use of holiday. The Hay
lands best wagon was in the side yard,
they had evidently been to church in
the morning; and now for the first time
Jonas heart began to beat in an awful
and even retarding manner. He could
not tie his horses hitch rein as it should
be tied, the knot worked wrong, and
he grew redder and redder and did not
dare to look up at the house windows
Then the door opened and hospitable
Joel Hayland came out and welcomed
him and they went into the house to-
gether. There was Love in her Sunday
dress as pretty as pink, and Mrs. Hay
land was motherly and good natured
She had heard about Jonas from some
body who lived neighbor to his mother,
and knew what good, steady boy he
had always been, and that he was do
ing well in the bank now; nephew and
namesalle, too, of rich, old Jonas Dyer,
of hartford. eve should be pleased
to have you stop to supper, Mr.. Dyer"
She invited him kindly, but Jonas
thought he ought to get back early
When he turned and looked at Love,
however, he forgot time and space, and
though they proceeded to speak at
length of the state of the roads, he
felt himself to be entertained, indeed,
and the last of the long spring after
noon flew by on tleetest wings.
There was a very fresh little fire in
the prim best room. Others might have
found the wides low-storied kitchen a

he turned round. however, nobody was
smiling; there was an aspect of self
restraint and pious gravity about both
Hathaway and Downs; Mr.. Pendell was
in the safe, and if he openly laughed it
was inaudible to the young men out
side. Jonas knew that misery was in
store for him and fairly writhed at hav-
ing been supposed to resemble his
uncle. That close-fisted gentleman was
perfectly uncomfortable of late, and our
hero determined not to live like toad
under barrow any longer.
There was no end to the jokes that
the two clerks made that day, but none
of them had any reference to Oak Hill
or Jonas journey in that direction. In
one way the simplicity of Loves ques-
ton had been little painful, asked In
public as it was, and yet he forgave the
lack of maidenly reticence for the sake
of a delightful permission won from the
father himself. Uncle Jonas was per-
fectly capable of leaving all his money
to the cause of foreign missions and
disappointing his poor and worthy rela-
lives OF various Iegrees; but Jonas was
glad to have the Endorsement of such
relationship.
WAS you ever to Pelham Four Cor
ners," Hathaway asked Jonas as he
came in the next morning, but Jonas
answered yes so meekly as he hung up
his coat, that the allusion was pressed
no further.
''When l was up to my brother-in-
laws funeral this winter, heard that
there was man by the name of Wa
ters paving attention to the girl of Mr..
Hayland's," said Downs, the head
clerk. He was a sober-minded man,
that Hathaway, and seemed to speak
truthfully. Jonas's heart stood still.
''Was there? What kind of man is
he? She's a pretty girl asked Hatha-
way.
"a kind of seeking widower," an
swered Downs. ''Shes younger than
he, about forty-ive per cent. and didn't
favor him at first, but he's well off
and the old folks helpit on. Their farms
join, believe, and twill be good
thing all round. | was kind of sur
prised when they asked good-looking
fellow like Jonas to call. You'd better
not make any trouble, Jonas; but per-
haps it's all settled apd the old gentle
man felt safe"

safe investment in some county bonds
and went inside the bank ratings, to
do a bit of writing. AS he rose from
his old desk he caught sight of Love
well wrapped and looking for him eX-
pectantly out of the old chaise. Their
eyes met as they had met once before,
and Jonas knew that she was his wife
now, and yet he was still shy, she did
look so pretty and SO strange, not like
anybody else. Perhaps the year was
all dream.
Hathaway was standing close by
Hathaway began to look little old
and blurred in the face, like worn
silver piece, and not so quick and gay
as he used. He longed to say: "Was
you ever to Oak Hip" but Jonas had
flocl1s and herds now and wide acres
were under his rule; though he was
only twenty-One, he was looked upon
as stable citizen and one of growing
influence. Perhaps his size was in his
favor. At any rate, the senior clerks
had already more than once declared
that his room was better than his COM
pany in the bank. He seemed some
Call down and see us, boys!' said
Jonas, pulling on a new pair of great
fur gloves. ''You, too, Mr.. Pendell;
'twould please Father Hayland right
through; he was anxious l should
make his respects to you He's got
some first-rate cider tapped. Well, come
when you can, any of you. Good day.
Clever boy" said Mr.. Pendell;
''feels more comfortable where he is,
doesn't hep" and at this the two clerks
smiled assent.
Jonas was never cut out for any
thing but farmer. He feels crowded
anywhere except in an open feld,' said
Hathaway, bending over the neat pages
of his great ledger.
Jonas and Love were driving out of
town with the new horse as fast as the
law allowed.
My exclaimed Jonas, cit came
over me when l was in the bank how
| saw you sitting out there the first
day. don't suppose you cared any to
speak of about me, but l knew hadn't
got to look further"
I'm not gong to tell you again about
that day" said Love, laughing at him.
''You know now just as well as 1 do.
There never was two before that had
less doubts. l feel sure of that"
"Ain't it first rate that folks can get
married." said Jonas, soberly. "Inever
thought anything about it till l come
to want you. Now, just think O there
being a law O. the state that folks that
wants each other can have each other
for good an all. 1t seemed q ueer when
begun to think about that"
Don't you remember how 1 forgot
mothers knittin' needles that very first
day?" asked Love, shyly. 81 didn't
even know what your name was, and
now here we are ridin' home toge ther. -

CHAPTER III.

Jonas and Mr.. Pendell were alone
together in the bank one February
morning. One of the other young men
was away at his brother-in-law's funer-
al and Hathaway had been sent to
Boston on a financial errand. Jonas
wished that he could have had the
variety of a journey to Boston. Some
times he felt as if the irksome confine-
ment of his business were telling upon
his health and spirits, but he looked
perfectly well, and unsympathetic
friends still congratulated him on his
excellent opportunity. The odor of
bank bills became more and more I'M
pleasant to him, and once or twice
good Mr.. Pendell had felt obliged to
urge him to greater quickness-not
accuracy, for our hero was much to be
trusted in his figures. His patron, the
rich uncle, looked at him approvingly
from under his shaggy suspicious eye
brOWs, as he went and came about his
business or the bank meetings Jonas
lived with this uncle, who was bach
elor, and there was always plenty to do
night and morning in the matter of
household work, the housekeeper being
amiable but decrepit and the uncle
held the opinion that lad should be
made to work as he had worked in his
The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1902-01-11

pleasanter and more airy place to sit,
but Jonas and Love had already reached
that stage of interest which demands
seclusion, and there they sat until the
sun was low. 1t was not art that al
lured them, in the shape of portrait of
Daniel Webster and the Landing of the
Pilgrims on the parlor walls. 1t was
not luxury, for the hair-cloth sofa had
stiff springs and sloped forward at a
strange angle. What they talked about
was also of secondary consideration; it
was enough for Love that she talked to
Jonas, and for Jonas that Love listened
to his words. When they came out,
trying hard to appear as if it were an
everyday visit, Mrs. Hayland stood at
the side of the window after parting
with the blushing young visitor, and
remarked significantly to her husband:
"Joel, just as sure's you're born them
two's goin' to keep company"
"Let 'em have it their own way;
they're both good children" answered
Joel, with sage smile.
Before the spring work began at Oak
Hill Jonas announced to Mr.. Pendell
that he meant to resign his situation,
and gave no reason for so doing. Mr..
Pendell, who knew the reason from
Joel Hayland himself, laid the serious
matter before the directors on Monday
morning. Jonas had not brooked his
uncle's wrath at home by making de-

The American Mule.

The American mule is in danger of
suffering from discrimination in favor
of the pauper-bred animal of South
France. For years the French West
Indies have been large buyers of Ameri-
can mules, and the trade has been i'm
portant enough to make the French
men anxious to capture it. Let
tiers received by shippers from their
correspondents in the islands say
that the writer's understand that
the French government is to give
bounty for shipments of mules to the
colonies, the amount being big enough
to make the shutting off of importa-
lions from this country extremely
probable. About one thousand mules
are shipped to the French islands an
nually.

own youth. Jonas was naturally of a
domestic turn, and only varied his life
now and then by occupying a back seat
at an evening meeting. In the bank he
sometimes felt important and was up
borne by the dignity of his position,
but out of bank hours he was simply a
clumsy, country fellow unused to town
life. He often looked out of the bank
window to see that old horse from Oak
Hill, but he was never so fortunate,
though the two bright eyes that looked
from under the chaise top still shone
like stars in his thoughts.
Mr.. Pendell was very busy that morn
ing, and when the door was opened he
nodded to Jonas, who had been busy
paying and receiving all the morning.
AS the young man rose he saw the
safe horse of his dreams fastened to a
post in front of the window. There
was an old high-backed sleigh now,
with two good buffalo robes and plenty
of bright straw. Jonas recognized ths

glad to find themselves in their own
warm kitchen again. 1t was almost
night when they got home. The day
had been short and bleak, but Love
came in with rosy cheeks and dancing
eyes and heartful of pleasure
II have had real good ride" she
said; haven't you, father?'
""Twas pleasanter than goin' alone"
said the plain man with unwonted gal
lantry. 81 don't know but 1 like the
road full as well in good weather. Mr..
Pendell was civil and accommodatin' to
me same's he always is, and sent his re-
spects to you, mother. l see Abel FoS-
ter on the street, too, and he was glad
to see me, and they meant to ride up to
see us II that long spell O. rain hadn't
hlndered 'en. There wasn't many on
the street, twas bad day."
Love looked at her father with sur
prise.
II suppose you got me that set O. knit
tin needless" asked Mrs. Hayland, after
looking over the packages that had
been brought in.
II declare, 1 forgot all about 'em,
mother" said Love. 81 left them till
the last thing, because we had to come
by the store again and father was in a
hurry to get his bank business done. 1
got into the chaise after did the other
errands and"
Dear heaft, faint such a great mat
ter" said the kind little mother, with
sigh that Love could not hear. Some
body'n sooh be going again.
Presently Love disappeared and took
off her best wooden dress and came back
in a comfortable old one, but she had
fingered to tie in a piece of red ribbon
for a cravat and she had looked out of
the bedroom window toward town to
see if she could discover the reflection
of the new electric lights. The sky
was very cloudy and dark, but she was
pretty sure that dim glow lighted the
heavens in that direction. When she
came down into the kitchen, her father
and mother and Jacob Bean, the hired
man, were already at supper Love
looked uncommonly pretty and they all
noticed her; the father and mother
stole a pleased glance at one another.
''Seems to me you've taken good
while to change your Dress said Mrs.
Hayland, gently reproachful.
1T didn't seem long to me-" answered
Love, honestly. 81 didn't know how
late twas when we got home, it gets
dark SO early now. Why, forgot ever
so many things I've thought of buyin'.
l shall have to go again quick as 1 can"
with little blush).
Come, draw up and have some O. this
good warm supper, child" said the
father. II think the roads too plaguey
rough to drive over again until snow
comes. If you'd brought much more
1 shouldn't had a cent left to leave with
Mr.. Pendell."
''They weren't all my things" said
Love. Mother, don't know but l
ought to have me new winter suit
after all. Mine seemed to look a little
past when got among folks"
II thought it looked pretty when you
come down ready to go, IT'S the bother
O getting it made" said the busy little
woman. Love was still young for her
age, and had never settled down into
careful womanly ways though she was
already nineteen.

claration Of his ingratitude in propos-
ing to leave SO promising a financial
career. The old man twisted himself
about in his chair and looked very
black at the first moment of surprise
Then Mr.. Pendell said that he had some
sympathy with Jonas decision. The
boy was willing and honest and did the
best he could, but he was not made for
bank work. He was after Joel Hay
lands girl over at Oak Hill, and the old
folks needed young smart man on the
farm-it was good thing all round.
'Thats where the young dogs been
going every Sunday, then" said old Mr..
Dyer, the uncle, with unexpected APP
proval and sympathy. They're good
folks and he might have done worse for
himself. If Joel favors the match. I'll
take hold and give Jonas little start.
won't have anybody saying that the
favor was all on her folks side"
There was an amiable grumble of APP
plause from the other directors, and the
busy cashier at once proposed sale of
bonds which were reported shaky but
rising in market value, and so the
great question of the junior clerks fu-
ture was quickly solved The young
couple were married in early painting
time, and, however it may have APP
peared to other people, for them it was
ever miraculous and wonderful thing
that they had fallen in love at first
sight, and that their thoughts had been
always of one another, even while one
was in the bank at hartford and the
other far away at Oak HILL
That autumn Mr.. Joel Hayland
dreaded the long, cold drive to town,
and sent the young people to that bank
with his stout poclletbook. Jonas had
persuaded his father-in-law to make
