HIS hands were folded in his lap.
He hadn't said a word at all

The Mortgaged
Bride
BycLAUDIA NAY rERRrN

HIRAM TATTON had used his
credit for so many deals of diff
terent kinds that he had reached the
point where none would trust him
for a Peuny. For an unmarried man
of the matu:cf tyycnties he was ex-
ceedingly unfortunate, for oft-times
his trade so laBguished that he could
barely exc out the most meager live
hhoOd. His blacksmith shop was his
only hope, and of that the contents
alone were his The Iast-named fact
might have afforded him a grain of
comfort had the rented building been
substantial one. or his set of tools
and appliances of the patent list Of
the last few decades; but it seemed
that Time lad sent him all the worn
out, discarded things to be found.
with a shelter which age had long
since marked as unworthy of the
name.
Hiram was progressive in his way;
but he was too slow-or, rather, too
fast-for the age in which he lived.
Had he saved his money he could long
since have been independent, for his
business was largely cash and his list
of patrons of goodly length. IN view
OF these facts il was strange that no
surplus funds beyond the necessary
change ever JingIed IN his purse.
yet it was these very facts that
handicapped hmm at every turn. And
when neighboring smith decided to
sell out his building, con
tents and all-the chance of life
time seemed to have come to Hiram's
very shop door.
Mr.. Patton exerted himself mos.
heroically to renew his long since
threadbare credit in order to pur.
chase the shop The shrexd Mr..
Coler knew hum too well 10 make the
trade on other than ironelaG black
and-white terms, which harassed the
covetous Hiram most gricvously. As
a last resort tn. young man deter
mined to bombS-d the hank account
of crusty old bachelor of the Vi
cinity, one B ,rtImeus Graves, whose
reputation for close deals and miser-
~ favors was unrivaled.
But Hiram was desperate. And.
resolving to seeur- the money ON
whatever terms might seem neces-
sary, he approached the ia-tempered
Bart with tie blan lest smile he
could command. Bart on the other
hand, was mistrustfrl os Hiram Pat
ton and his creditless reputation: but
an opportunity To loan money at
good interest was to him something
not TO be desplscd. liiram's straight
forward manner of introducing the
subject impressed him favorablv.
while the youths confidence in the
success of the venture heightened his
own ambition pro rata.
His terms were rigid, yet to Hiram
his rasping tone seemed but the
voice of u guardian angel. Yes; he
would loan the money. provided Pat
ton would give a first-claSS mortgage
on the lot, building, contents and
trade. meaning by the last item that
everything purchased or in any Axay
secured with the money earned in the
shop-whether it be live stock. fur
nishings or horseshoe nails-should
belong to 'the said Bartimeus

Run Away.

Last Monday morning Theodore

and two horses and, having some busi-

at his brOther's residence. thinking it
would be perfectly safe. There is no
doubt but What they would have been
but for some boys who were firing some
of those modern torpedoes which
frightened the horses aid caused them
to break loose from the post to which
they were hitched, and at running
speed they were seen going down South

Halls corner, where one of the horses

nearly across the street. 1t.

The Berry Crop and Market.

Last Monday practically opened the
raspberry and blackberry season at
Milford and this section of Delaware.
Only few crates went to market. as
the extremely cool weather prevented
fruit from ripening; but next week the
first picking will commence of Lucretia
dewberries, when shipments will be
heavy. Prices opened at six cents for
Early Harvest and six and One-half for
Dewberries; while raspberries brought
six cents per pint. These were the prices
at the Milford depot, and as only local
,speeulators were buying, most of the
growers shipped OF consignment.
Strawberries were sold to the local
grocery dealers, and sold from four 10
six cents, according to quality.
Under the influence of warmer
weather the shipments of the latter
of this week have been larger and the
prices pretty well maintained.

Milford TO Enlarge the Light and Water
Plant.

For several months past the Light
and Water plant of Milford has been
taxed TO its capacity to carry the load
Of light now getting service from it.and
the necessity for enlarging has been
recognized by the Light and Water
commission for several months past 1t
Is not the intention of the Commission
to do the work Immediately, but to
allow the surplus earnings to accumu-
late until four or five thousand dollars
are available to do the work. 1t has
been the policy of both the Light and
Water Commission and Town Council
TO increase the Sinking Fund as rapidly
as possible by investing the earnings
OF the plants in the bonds; but it is now
necessary that the capacity of the plant
be Increased that the revenues NAV
continue to grow in the future. The
fund now has $4,000 of these .
bonds as an investment, aud it was
-hought that by July of this year $1,000
more would be placed in it to earn
'evenue; but the necessity of enlarging
o accommodate the holiday demand
or extra light will probably cause other
llans to prevail for a time. The two
'odies will probably hold a Joint ses-

The acquiring and maintaining of a
public park has long been the dream
OF the people of this town. but nothing
has ever been accomplished in this di-
reetion, until recently the town author
tiles took the matter into consideration
and decided that such resort would
be stroke in the line of progress, and
also an absolute benefit to the general
public, and in pursuance to maioritv
vote Of the Town Board in favor of
such a public improvement. they Sc
lected site on Lake Avenue. nearly
opposite the residence Of Mr.. Thornton
Naules and adjacent to Silver Lake
where the people may enjoy an hour
or two in a social way
1t is expected that those in authority
will begin at once to prepare the
grounds for the reception of the people
and make the place ready for use this
season. As to the possibility of the
site being made as lovely as some other
parks in the lower part OF the State. it
is safe to say, that when the work is
all completed as has been planned. that
the grounds and furnishings of the
park will compare favorably with any
of the parks south of Wilmington.
This progressive move of our Town
Board should receive the commenda.

sorts are supported by almost every
