anger of the Judges voice was beau
tifully done.
Il confess l expected quite a differ
ent reception" said Lord.
May l ask" said the Judge, hotly,
'on what such expectation was
basedW
Il thought you knew, sir" Lord said
calmly, "of my honest affection for
Elizabeth. l thought thai would be
very apparent, even to you. Indeed,
your actions have led me to believe
your consent would be freely given"
Young man." sneered the Judge, 81
like your nerve! Your supposition that
| would give my consent for Elizabeth
to marry penniless young saw-bones
Is quite on par with your other men
tai processes"
"l'll admit my practice and income
are neither very amazing" said Lord
with some heat but l think you'll
find them sufficient to warrant the re-
quest | have made; besides which, |
have health and ambition and no in
tention to stagnate."
Your practice and your income, in
deed! l like that I've taken the
trouble to find out little about your
practice and your income, which
you're so free in alluding to, and all
have to say is that If you had as
much of either Of them as you have
of amazing nerve you'd be the richest
doctor in the country But l prefer
something little better for my daugh-
ter than slow starvation. The upshot
Of the whole matter would be that
you'd be coming home to me and I'd
have to keep you both"
what you say is insulting in the
extreme" said Lord. But l must re-
member that you are an old man and
you are Elizabeth's father. Therefore
| will pass your insults by. What
want to know is, do you fatty refuse
your consentT
How many times must l tell you
soY the Judge howled.
"Then 1t is only fair to you to say
l shall try to win her affections with
out that consent" said Lord angrily.
do so, by all MEANS" roared the
Judge. 4 can tell you now she
doesn't care snap of her fingers
about you"
The portieres We're flung violently
apart, and Elizabeth white but with
proudly lifted head and flashing eyes,
stood before them.
There you are mistaken" she said
in a shaken voice, looking unfiinching-
ly at her father.
For moment there was silence;
then the Judge turned to Lord.
Leave the house." he beloved.
"FatherW said Elizabeth.
Leave the house before l throw
you out" said the Judge.
Elizabeth walked over to Lord and
put her hand in his.
"You may throw me out, too" she
said quietly.
The Judge turned away, ostenslbly
to control his wrath.
Keep the young idiot if you want
him." he said; I'm going,to the club"
Late that evening Lord found the
Judge in his favorite corner at the
club. The Judge grinned as he came
up.

what do you think of doing?" asked
| Mary Holland.
/ II shall fake possession tonight" said
the old lady; Il must get to Sedge Hill; !

/ ter to her new home then. | am strong

and send for a conveyance. Why should
stop? Haven't l had enough of this
prison and this poverty? / can't live
here any longer"
Mary Holland thought It would have
been wiser to have brought her news at
an earlier hour then. She endeavored
to persuade Mrs. Eastbell to rest till the
next day, but the old lady WIS obsti-
nate and not to be turned from her in
tentions.
Mary Holland gave her tea, but al
| though she went from the room, she did
not proceed in search of conveyance to
Sedge Hill, but entrusted that commits
sion to the old lady next door. She Won
dered if the old woman's strength would
last to Sedge Hill, or If the reaction
would come and leave her PROSTATE. She
was not prepared for this sudden awak-
ening to a new life; 1t bewildered her,
shrewd little woman though she was in
many things. She had wished to break
the news to Mrs. Eastbell, and the task
had been intrusted to her accordingly,
but had it been done wisely, and was this
wise step, on the part of Mrs. Eastbell,
to leave st. Oswald's in ungrateful
haste?
what time the cab isr' said Sarah
Eastbell suddenly.
''In your happier state apart from this
life, you will not forget the man whose
place you take, whose home is yours,
whose father set him aside without fair
cause" urged Mary.
''This isn't time to worry me about
him. / have no fault to find with Reu-
ben--he's an excellent young man---but
that's no reason why should talk of
him tonight"
"He is poor"
81 dare say he is," was the reply, "but
must think of my own family first. l

Mrs. Muggeridge'S head peered round
the door.
1.-THE cabs come" she said; do you
think you can walk to the outer gate,
Mrs EastbellT
81 could walk a mile. There's a teapot
of mine on the hob, and 1t draws beauti-
fully. Take it, tea and all, and don't
forget me, Good-by. How very glad l
am to get away from here! This wayT
Eyes, this way" said Mary.
''The nights cold, and though am rot
used to night air, l can go through it to
my new house and my new life as brisk
ly as you can. What a change for me

"And for more than you two," added
Mary Holland.

DOMESTIC STRATEGY.
Mrs. Aiken Knew Her Husband Had
Mailed Her Letters.

hrBs Aiken Knew Her Husband HAD
Mailed Her Letters.
Mrs. Aiken's husband was one Of the
ten or fifteen million men who forget
to mail letters, concerning whom the
annals Of humor contain thousands of
jokes. He was not a bad case, for he
did not always forget, oand when he
did, he remembered again within two
days. Mrs. Aiken was not bad case,
either, for she did not scold her hus-
band.
When she had an especially import
ant letter to mail, she either went out
to the corner herself and slipped ii
into the box, or lay in wait for the
pOstman on his early morning round
One day she was not feeling WELL and
several invitations to dinner for the
following week were due to be mailed
at once So she entrusted them to Mr.
Aiken, who made the usual promises
She followed him to the dining room
door, saying impressiyely, Letters
Letters Now don't forget! Letters
Look me in the eyes and say it after
me-"
IF you hypnotic me l shall forge
everything, All right. Letters Let
ters! Letters" He kissed her
showed the handful of envelopes into
his pocket and went out.
He did keep the letters on his mint
all the way downtown in the car. AL
though two men stopped him before
he got to his desk, yet he kept his hanC
on the bulging pocket He unlocked
his desk with the other hand, and be
fore he allowed himself to look at his
mornings mail he put his wife's letters
into the mail basket and called the
office boy.
'There," he said to himself, "thost
will go to the post an hour before the
office mail, | guess l can remember &
few things once in a while"
His sense of virtue abode with hin
all the morning and all the afternoon
On his way home at night he though
of few facetlous remarks to make t.
a woman who had so little confidence
in her husbands memory that she mus
go through burlesque dramatic per
formance after breakfast to impress {
small matter on his mind.
AS he opened the front door he saw
her coming down the stairs.
"Well, my dear, suppose, you are
going to ask me whether l mailed YOU
letters"
ooh, no, dear. know you mailed
them"
Now, there is confdencew said Mr.
Aiken, with genial irony.
"Not confidence at all, darling, bu
knowledge. If you had looked yor
would have seen that among the let
ters was postal card addressed tC
myself. 1t came on the last delivery
this afternoon"

she says, it is obvious to everybody
that we were made for each other. In
, fact, things have been SO terribly OBJ
viOus from the very beginning that
she fears we don't know our own
minds, and perhaps later we may find
we have made great mistake"
Judge Martin ran his fingers ner-
vously through his bushy white hair
Il always thought she was the most
sensible girl in the world" said he.
"She is" said Lord quickly. There
may be reason in what she says"
Il know she thinks the world Of
you, no matter what she says" said
the Judge stoutly.
1--WE had the temerlty to think that
myself" said Lord "and I've tried to
think this state Of mind Is merely tenn
porary with her."
He blew smoke rings thoughtfully.
perhaps if l went away this win
ter" he continued, "it might help mat
ters. There's the trip to California,
you know. might take that"
Nonsense the Judge exploded.
"You can't leave your practice here.
And you can't afford it, either. You'll
need all your money for your house.
The trouble is, Ted, this affair of yours
has been altogether too smooth. 1t
needs opposition to stir it into healthy
life. l believe a little touch of ro-
mantle opposition would work won
ders with Elizabeth"
'Tm inclined to think you're right"
said I9rd slowly,
The Judge brought his fist down on
the library table with a bang.
"Confound itP' he said, his eyes
twinkling. Il don't want you for
son-in-law. I've never thought os such
thing. Marry my daughter Eliza
bethH Never, my presumptuous young
friend. See the point, Ted?"
Lord sprang to his feet.
Judge" he said, you're a thor
oughbred.
The Judge was evidently we'll
pleased with himself.
Somewhat better than California, l
fancy" he drawled.
Infinitely" the young man said
with enthusiasm.
Come around tomorrow at g."
said the Judge. Elizabeth will be
here then. oh, I'll sit you beautifully.
Take another cigar with you"
Tomorrow at 3, then" said Lord,
picking up his overcoat.
The Judge nodded and dropped one
eyelld deliberately.
The following afternoon at 8 o'clock
Theodore Lord and the Judge were
again seated In the library. They
looked nervOusly at each other, as con-
spirators have looked at each other for
all time They even grinned at each
other a bit sheepiShly.
"Hush?' said the Judge. "She will
be coming down the stairs in a mo-
ment When l speak loud you do II,
too. There, that's her .door, now.
She's coming" Then, with a sudden
change OF tone: 'No. sir. l most as
suredly do not propose to hand my
daughter TO you. 1t is the height Of
presumption to suppose that would
be willing TO do any such thing. New
err! The Judges voice quite shook
with fury. 5000

you and ask for your daughters hand

BRIGGS.

1t was u pleasant gathering at thu
home of Mr.. and Mrs, Ellsworth
johnson, when the friends and kin
bred assembled to remind them that
they had reached the twentieth mile
stone of their welded life, Willing
hands had prepared n table OF
choice and rare delicacies, to which
about twenty did ample justice.
After the refreshments, the party as
sembled in the parlor, where j. Y.
Briggs in behalf of the donors, pre-
sentod the following to the worthy
couple:
One dozen silver knives and
forks, j, NJ. Coolidge, Hudson, Mass;
one dozen cups and saucers, Mr.. and
Mrs. Arthur Putnam, Barnard; one
linen towel, Mrs. Ella Otterson, Hud-
son, Mass; dress goods, Mr., and
Mrs. Ernest Briggs, Plymouth; two
silver dollars, Herbert Howard,
Woodstock; two dollars from the
aged father, j. X, o. Johnson; glass
ware, Mr.. and Mrs. 0. L. Webb,
Sherburne; glass set, Mr., and Mrs.
Herman Holt Sherburne; bone and
pickle dishes, Mr.. and Mrs. J. Y.
Briggs. A poem prepared by our
local poet, which appears below was
read, after which the company de-
parted wishing the pair many years
more of happy life.
Today counts up years u score
Since eighteen hundred and eighty :four.
When Ellsworth stood by Annals side,
And she became his lawful bride.
How quick since then the years have flown,
And still today they have not grown
Tired of the union made that day.
Though mixed with cares alone the ''"S"
Clouds have no doubt obscured the sun,
While two decades this journeys run.
When ever and anon they feared.
A silver lining soon appeared.
The rich may count their gain and wealth.
But no comparison with health.
Life is not measured by its gold,
But by its love the years have told.
This pair have isolated been,
Back in fair and quiet glen.
Whore city's strife, policemeu's beat.
Have not molested their retreat.
The sun shines Just as fair and bright.
No whistle breaks their dreams ut night:
Nothing disturbs their quiet nest.
Unless the boot owl thinks 1t best
And 50 the years have come and gone.
We meet them on this twentieth's dawn:
And may the vows of eighty-four
Keep true for years another score.
And when at last lifes tolls shall end,
No earthly gathering with friend.
May we who meet today be found
Where endless ages roll around.

BASE BALL.

play ball, and while the locals did
some good work n little balloon trip
in one inning lost the game to the
visitors. II the latter hadn't let up
some in the eighth the home team
might not have scored, However, the
team from up the river always makes
matters interesting, whatever the re-
suit of the great annual bat
tie, and the spectators are generally
satisfied. Bridgewater's batting was
the feature Of the game, and other
applause-winning acts were Griffin S
catch Of Il foul and Centre-iielder
