Woods.

A party of sixteen made a trip of
fifteen miles into the country, last
Sunday, to spend the day in the woods.
The management of the trip was in the
hands of Mr.. Frank Gaines, who Sc
cured a large trap with a seating capa-
city of twelve people, and a vehicle
which comfortably seated four, thus
making up the party. The objective
point was Aveniel, Montgomery Co.,
Md, near Burnt Mills, and an early
start to avoid the heat and to catch the
early morning breeze, was made. The
meeting place being at the residence
Of Mr.. Gaines, III E street northeast.
Mr. Gaines and his Obliging madam
served the whole party with hot rolls
and coffee, and the start was made at
once, to the wild woods.
After a delightful drive of nearly
two hours, the home of Mr. Joseph H
Downs was reached, where the party
spent the day. Mr.. Downs is located
on a large estate, and has a spacious
and commOdious home, with all of the
comforts of up-tO-date country life.
The premises abound in cool springs,
bright. well-kept lawns, outrageous
trees, beneath which hung hammocks
of many kinds and cOlOrs. Mr.. Downs
is blessed with a most interesting fam
lily, consisting of a wife and three
daughters, Miss Blanche A. Downs,
Mrs. Sitka D. Thomas, and Mrs. Flor
ence d. Garner. They had been ap-
prised of the coming of the party, and
had made every preparation in the way
of an elaborate country dinner, and
things that go along with it. Mr..
Gaines did not neglect to equip him
self with refreshments of a liquid ma
ture in great abundance.
The day was pleasantly and most
enjoyably spent, and all voted Mr.. and
Mrs. Downs royal entertainers. The

Copyright. 1868. by I. C. Mcclure

How Cynthia Davis, daughter of
Farmer Davis. got her romantic no,
tons was puzzle to her parents and
lots of other folks. Her fathers hired
men began to fall in love with her at
sixteen. At seventeen she broke the
heart of a wire fence agent. At eight
cen she could have had her pick of half
dozen men ranging from farmers
sons to reaper and mower agents. She
was nineteen when Jed Williams, a
young carpenter from the village. came
out to rebuild barn and reshingle the
house.
Cynthia didn't want the impossible,
but she had certain fixed ideas. She
would never fall in love and marry a
man unless he had saved her life. All
OF her would be lovers were anxious to
toe the mark. but Opportunity had new
er presented itself. She wouldn't break
through the ice ON the horse pond in
winter. and she wouldn't tumble into
the we'll in summer. Her father owned.

Ing daisies in the field where the bovine
grazed. II mad dog came along the
highway she was sure to be in the
house, and II lightning struck the house
she was sure to be at neighbours. On
one occasion a sewing machine agent
who had sought to capture her heart
and had Knocked $12 off the regular
price to make himself solid thought the
golden hour was at hand. He drove up
one day and found tramp ''sassing"
Cynthia, but before he could rush to
the rescue and win her gratitude she
had taken the fellow by the ear and
run him out of the gate.
One after another came and went,
and Cynthia's only excuse for turning
them down was that each and every
one Of them was as commonplace as
pumpkin pie. Jed Williams had had
his warning, but he straightway fell in
love just the same and was taken on
probation. That was one good thing
about the girl. She always gave man
at least four weeks in which to save
her life. Jed had three months job
at carpenter work. but he knew that he

laughingly that she was prettier than
ever. and Eleanor had been tired and
petulant and had answered in few
sharp words regretted as soon as spo-
ken.
She had just time to catch glimpse
of herself in the mirror of the brides

The wedding party formed in the IL
Drary. Eleanor was first bridesmaid
,on the right She held her flowers
closely. her heart beating fast as the
soft. slow strains of the wedding march
sounded. Beatrice's little cousins, Nan
ME and BeSs. were leading the way
with broad white satin ribbons to form
an aisle through the parlors. To the
first bridesmaid. as she followed them
dreamily through maze of blossoms
and bright faces, it almost seemed as
il it were all for her and Rex, and sud
denly. as they reached the bower of
lilies and palms in the south bay Win

as he stood opposite her beside the
bridegroom.

swered. and wondered if any one saw
the tears in her eyes.
1t was not fair. Beatrice should
have told her he would be there. She
wondered if he, too. was thinking of
what might have been. Against her
will she looked at him again.
Beatrice was speaking, her voice low
;and sweet and tremulous.
"For better. for worse; for richer, for
poorer; in sickness and in health until
death do us part"
The glorious, sacred words thrilled
her with the fullness of their meaning.
This was the VOW she would have
0ken for love of him. Her love had
been strong enough then. AS she
gazed at him she knew it was as strong
now.
''Iill death do us part" And she had
:thrown aside her troth as carelessly
as the lilies would be cast aside when
stheir color and fragrance were gone.

HE MAY KILL ME, BUT WILL SAVE
YOUR LIFE"
had to capture Cynthia's heart within
four weeks or not at all. A man who
uses the rule and compass and square
has head for circles and angles, and
Jed was no sooner in love than he re-
moved the single nails from his mouth
and sat down to ponder. He knew
where the others had failed They
had waited for opportunity. He would
make opportunity. =
The first move Jed made along the
new line was to take Cynthia to the
circus. He was particular to point out
the lions to her, especially one big fell
low, and to recall to memory the fact
that this Numidian had killed no less
than seven keepers, as stated in the
newspapers. The same lion had also
escaped from the circus on several oc-
casions and devastated a dozen barn
yards. He told his story glibly and
carelessly. and aside from a shudder or
two Cynthia was not much affected If
the lion escaped during the next three
months. as was possible, she would be
away off in Ohio or Indiana. and she
would be safe.
Then John Burns came out to paint
the barn fiery red. He was friend
Of Jed Williams, and he brought out
the news with him that the lion had
escaped while the circus was leaving
the village. He was one of 200 men
who had spent the day with some cir
Gus people looking for the monster, and
the search was being continued. 1t
was startling news for the farmers.
They might not meet the beast in their
corntields by daylight, but when dark
ness came he might pick them up even
on the doorstep. Jed didn't boast OF
what he would do if he met the beast
face to face, and Cynthia mentally gave
him credit mark. In some mysteri-
GUS way the barn painter kept track of
the lion and gave others the news. The
Numidian was seen here and there.
Here he had killed a COW: there
horse. In one case he. had attacked a
farmer and broken his back. and all
efforts to recapture him were futile.
In the midst of these wild alarms
Cynthia had to go to a neighbours of
an evening, and Jed was courteous
enough, to offer her his escort. Some
laughing remarks were made about the
lion, but they did not affect the girl.
Even when Jed armed himself with Il
stout club she thought more OF her err
rand than of being eaten alive. 1t was
fairly darkish night, but they took
no lantern. They had eighty rods to
go and had accomplished half the dis
lance when there was growl and a
roar, and the escaped lion stood before
them. He had been disappointed in
finding a cow for his supper, and now
he meant to devour we'll built carpen-
ter and plump checked girl. The
frightened Cynthia grabbed Jed around
the neck and exclaimed:
"Oh, Jed. Jed. but it is the lion, and
We'll be killed!'
"Let me get at him!' shouted Jed
as he struggled against her clutch.
"He may kill me. but I'll save your

It was late when Eleanor arrived.
There was hum of voices and rustic
of soft gowns in the long white and
gold double parlors. She caught a
glimpse of palms and smilax and tall
clusters of lilies standing imperially
over ALL
She went upstairs hurriedly with
tears in her eyes and gladness in her
heart over the beauty and fitness of it
all-Beatrice in her youth and bridal
sweetness and the fragrance and fow-
ers everywhere. with the plenitude of
the springtide-and only few short
months ago the hope and promise had
been her own.
They had planned it together. Rex

their love had been so wonderful in it's
newborn strangeness. The wedding
was to be just after Easter, when all
was white lilies and opening buds. 1t
was the only true time of the year for
bridals, Rex had said, when the bride
herself was young and fair as one of
the golden hearted lilies.
And it had ended before even the

had almost forgotten the cause, it had
been SO trivial-a word dropped in Jest
