Mr.. Salisbury Jenkins Idea.
BY WILLIAM A. OSBORNE.

Copyright 1902. by Daily Story Pub. Coz
Mr.. Salisbury jenkins stepped out
upon the hotel porch under the hre
Of inquistivc chances with an easy
uonchalanCc of manner. which comes
only with long practice. He was the
latest arrival. He lit his cigar and
ga2cd with an Indifferent curiosity
upon the crowd. Mr. Salisbury Jenh-
ms was an ObservCr-cspcCially OF
women. and he speedily made up his
mind that the girl in The pink dlmity
at the end OF the piazza was the one
girl in the crowd. Having reached this
conclusion he rested not until he had
been formally introduced -- having
been formally introduced he improved
his opportunity.
A day or two later ne sat on the
railing looking down upon the girl
as she rcclincd in an easy chair.
She laid down a book, with a sigh.
What do you think of it, queried
Mr.. jenkins.
"Perfoctly lovely" returned the
girl. "Mastcrson, the hero. is such
fine fCllow--the kind of man who's
strong and brave and risks his life
for women. and really accomplishcs
things. | could fall in love with a
man like that. I'm tired of the rest

he had held forth upon golf and the
races, the thCater and books. sun,
he thought, complaContly. of his man
w aDpcarancc, and ne considered that
he would push MastorsOn. the book S
hero, close for second place. But
IL was up to him now to make an i'm
prcssion-to prove his supremacy.
He preferred to eclipse Masterson

his brain.
And then-a sublime idea occurred
TO him: the more he thought of 1t
the more he liked it-and as he con
| templated it. he thought 1t must end

around his neck, like the hcroinc's

considered, without precedent in real
life. 1t was TO place the girl in
situation OF apparent danger, from
which, without danger to himself, he
would gloriously rescue her.
1t was great idea and Mr.. jenkins
worked it out.

round his neck

PRESTON LODGE.
And the Historic Sword OF General
Fairfax.

Some time since the Masonic Lodge Of
this place purchased very fine sword for
the Tyler to guard the approach of eowans
and cave droppers and decided IL was high
time that the old sword that had been Dor
rowed at the institution of the lodge IS years
ago should be returned. The matter was
investigated and some of the older Masons
like Hon. James G. McGrew, Joseph Jack
son and others interviewed and il was found
that the sword that had been in use all
these years had been borrowed of General
Buckner Fairfax at the institution of the
first Masonic Lodge in Kingwood on Dec.
IS, 1857. A, the time it was found that
they had no sword and some one was sent
to the Generals house to secure the loan Of
his fine old sword which had been in use
then many years as he had been an officer
in the militia for long time aud was then
the General in command Of the Virginia
State Troops for this section. lie very
readily loaned the lodge his sword and il
had never been returned until about month
ago when it was decided by the lodge to de-
liver il To Gen. Fairfax's daughter now liy-
ing here in Kingwood and the editor of this
paper was appointed to deliver it to her and
Immediately did SO, taking it to Miss Sarah
Rebecca Fairfax, who prizes il very highly
as il is a very handsome and fine old sword
probably at least IS years old.
The Masonic Lodge organized here on
the above date was known as Preston Lodge
No. I67 of the Grand Jurisdiction of Vir-
GINA and the charter was issued to Gustavus
J. Cresap as Master and Jacob f. HYDE as
Senior Warden and Charles +. Stone as
Junior Warden. Then when the Grand
Lodge of West Virginia was formed, a new
charter was issued under date of ian. 23,
1867, with Joseph NJ. Goodwin as Worship
full Master, William c. McGrew as Senior
Warden and Francis Heermans as Junior
Warden. The Lodge was then known as
Preston Lodge No. ID This lodge went
down and was reorganized about ten years
ago and became Preston Lodge No. 90, so
that it has always been Preston Lodge in
honor of the county but has had three differ.
ent numbers.
