'AIy Dear Mr.. Marcy:
Hal has told me how things stand be-
tween you and him, and I write to tel YOU
that will never marry him so long as your
opposition continues. l absolutely refuse to
.uand in his way. 1 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-
er me In planning for him or IN carrying
out any of your Intentions reEa riding him.
You are at liberty to show him this letter.
Yours truly,
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 it back to his father.
Nothing different, father. Icannot
accept this sacrifice at her hands. /
would be less than n man If I accepted
what you offer me at such cost"
Don't be a fool, boy" Josiah pro-
tested.
"No; nor l won't be poltroon
either" declared Hal. Tomorrow |
shall go away and try to disappoint
you by showing you and Mandy, too,
that somewhere and somehow l am
capable of earning my own living, and
when I have shown that can earn
enough for two / shall come back for
her"
In the light of his previous expert
ence Hallett Marcy was laying out n
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 failure. He had n fine charac-
ter, an affectionate nature and 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 n
common laborer TO wealthy mill
owner.
Josiah was ambitious to realize in
his son the culture and social privi-
leges that fortune had denied to him.
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1902-05-17

He had planned that Hal should go
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-
manding 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
patr:mony 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 handsome sum on the boy If he
would give up Mandy. He gave him
Two days In which TO make up his

PAYS FOR HIS RIDE.
Bealer Beats Railway Out of Fare but
Personally Pays Dearly For Ride.

Paul Bealer, (colored,) the 16 year
old son of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Bealer
was thrown from Rock Island pas
senger train this morning about 8
O'Clock and was badly bruised about
the face and head. Jim Sipes who
was working in the neighborhood OF
the new B. and w. turn table said
that he noticed the boy riding the
blind baggage on the east bound
train from Evans and as the train
neared the station he made several
motions as if he was about to jump
from the platform. Sipes made no
move to stop him thinking that he
would badly jump while the train was
moving so fast but the boy finally
leaped and.was thrown to the ground
lighting quite heavily on the b. and
w. tracks. G His head and face were
badly bruised but he did not lose con-
seriousness. For want of hospital
the boy was taken to the Jail where
he was cared for by DIR. Coveny. 1t
was found afterwards that the parents
of the boy we're on the train behind
and that they were moving from
Evans to Buxton. Bealer was evid.

to get off before he was seen at the
station. His parents went on to
Buxton leaving him in charge of the

heats in other places. The animal
was no longer favorite and the guess
in the third and final heat was as to
who would pull out second money.
The third heat at the start tried
the skill of Mr.. H. E. Woods, the
starter, to the utmost. The animals
scored time and time again without
getting away. When all was ready for
the work either Bodega Girl or some
other animal would break and if these
kept to their feet some fellow was
ahead of the poll horse. The word
was finally given and almost from
the start Mona A. behaved badly.
He became almost disabled in the
first quarter and was driven in easily
after the accident and took but fifth
place in the heat. Bodega Girl finish

lead and managed to get in by q
length.
The third heat was also scrap be-
tween Betty and the Dakota horse.
1t looked for few minutes as though
Castlewood might come to the front
in spite of the plucky endeavors of
Betty to maintain her lead but the
expected did not happen and he fin
ished second. The summary of the
race is as follows:

The Dash
One of the features of the afternoon
races was the "a mile running race in
which five high class horses went to
the post. Starter Woods who has
good control over the boys got them
off in short order to a nice start.
Ventoro, ridden by Hammond was
first to show. He took him out in
front rating him along nicely won by
a length. The victory was very pop
ular as he is gentlemanly young
fellow and has many friends here.
Chas. Ramsey ridden by Miller was
second, Pane, ridden by Flanagan
3rd,, Zaza and Bagded finished as
named.

Miss Alsina Andrews, who has been
serving as missionary in Jamaica

since almost boy. He was born in
the east and says that although he
hates to leave the boys here he has a
"hankering to get back to his native
land once more" Many friends about
town wish him good luck.
Mr.. and Mrs. K. K. Kemble were
surprised last evening by crowd of
their friends and neighbors who took
complete possession of the house DUR
ing their absence and greeted them
with a rousing welcome. WE. Kem-
BILE invited the family to spend the
evening at his house and supposedly
to six o'clock dinner, and near the
middle of the afternoon Mr.and Mrs.
Kenble started for drive. During
their absence crowd of about forty
of their friends took possession of
the premises and made preparations
for giving them complete surprise.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Kemble drove
past later In the afternoon everyone
rushed out to meet them and literally
dragged them into the house. They
had not the slightest idea of what was
happening until greeted at their own
door and their surprise and pleasure
completely overwhelmed them. An
elaborate six course dinner was
served, after which q very pleasant
evening was passed. A very hand
some berryispoon, gift from the as
sembled guests, was presented by w.
E. Kemble in witty and humorous
speech which was much enjoyed.
The evening was spent in a social
good time, the guests departing about
9 O'Clock. Mr.. and Mrs. Kemble will
leave July 81 for Msrshalltown where
they will make their future home with
their son, l. O.. Kemble, who is pro-
prietor of the green house there.

The Pace.

The greatest list of entries ever
taken for any race over the Oskaloosa
track was that secured for the forty
class pace with purse $4,000. A
great field of horses had figured on
place in the race and when the start
ers came before the judges stand
there we're six of the entries up for
the honors. Betty Walker won the
race but had to go for it and was
pushed into swift pace by Castle
wood, a South Dakota horse that
many had picked for winner. The
time OF the class was forty but the
animals went after blood in the
second and.third heats and eighteen
and three-fourths and seventeen and
half were made. This was the
more exciting race of the program.
Some contended that Castlewood was
not being driven to win and demand
was made to the judges by some of
the hackers of the animal that the
animal be given another driver. The
judges ruled otherwise, however, and
the race went as it had started.
Betty Walker had the first place
given her for the first heat and
like Artois she kept this place and
won FIRST place each heat. Castlewood
did not show up in this race and
came in number four under the wire.
He went down to 81 with the profess
sion until after the second heat and
then matters changed.
Castlewood went a great mile In the
second heat and gave evidence o.. be-
ing q racer OF the first blood. Betty
