The train from the city, due at 5 50,
it finally drew up at Wayside juno
ton. AS it jerked to standstill an
extremely pretty girl descended from
the chair car, and, after dropping a
heavy suit case upon the platform,
walked rapidly toward the waiting
room.
Among the other passengers who
alighted was a young man, who, fol-
lowing Immediately behind the girl,
deposited his suit case likewise, and
then disappeared in the direction of
the newsstand.
The two suit cases were left stand

of leather, and both bore Sonnlkope end,
in neat, black lettering, IN. H.
A strident whistle signaled the ap-
proach Of the way train for Compton
Park. Miss Marion Holland emerged
from the waiting room, picked up a
suit case, and stood ready to enter the
car as the train pulled in.
The young man was evidently fas-
tdiOus in his choice OF cigars, for he
had barely time to appropriate the
other suit case and scramble up the
steps of the smoker.
Miss Holland was soon comfortably
established with her suit case safely
slowed away beside her. She was to
attend the wedding of her dearest
chum that evening, and incidentally
to countenance the occasion by ap-
pearing in the role of maid of honor,
and the dainty raiment upon which
she had expended much time and
thought in choosing was far too pre-
cious to be in1rusted to the baggage
car.
The journey from the junction was
not long one, and on her arrival at
Compton Park carriage whirled her
rapidly away to the Kneelands' coun-
try house, some distance out.
The young man also left the train
at Compton Park. He was met by a
fellow of his own age, and together
the two tramped along the village
street toward the hotel. The suit case

their wake in the grasp of porter.

On her arrival at the Kneelands'

American Press Founded at Boston
April. 1904. Spans Two Hundred Years.

Two hundred years ago, with the
appearance of the Boston News-Let-
ter in the week Of April l7-24, the
American press was founded.
Before that time but one paper had
appeared in the colonies, and that
but once. The Newsletter >"came to
stay and for fifteen years was the
only newspaper on this side of the
Atlantic. Philadelphia was the Sec
ond American city to establish a
paper, in 1919, and New York was
third, in 1925.
The American newspaper press for
the first .three-quarters of century
after the appearance Of the News-Let-
ter developed only slowly.
In 1888 there were but forty-three
newspapers in the United States; in
1901 there were 200 weekly and seven

shared with the other masculine and
therefore wholly unimportant-mem-

the best man, Maurice Hoyt, sought
his room at the hotel and unlocked
the leather suit case marked IN. H.

The Teller Of Tales.

His friends true hearts beat low, and
their strong limbs were a-Weary,
Their hands grew chill in his, on their
kind eyes death lay Veils
On their faces carven cold, the MONDAY
sun was dreary:
Il will tell men this for their tears,'
said the pitiful teller Of tales.
His hopes grew scar and faded, and his
eyes were heavy with weeping;
His was the hot shamed brow of the
strong, brave man who fails:
His were the hunger and toll while the
sated world lay sleeping;
Il will tell men this for their laugh
ter,' said the pitiful teller of tales
His light little love grew weary, and ran
to a newer lover,
And left him the purple sorrow that
creeps where the sunset pales:
His hearts blood dripped its scarlet, and
-. he smiled at it's brimming over
Il will tell men this for their joyance."

But men at last beheld how he stripped
his soul for their pleasure
And they brought him their gold and
their laurels, and the loving that

And he knew the taste of a hone full

At precisely $40 the chorus from
'Lohengrin'' pealed forth and the bri-
dal procession swept up the church
aisle. The ushers were set of fine
young fellows, and the six bridesmaids
as pretty girls as one could wish to
see.
But none of all the party, not even
excepting the shimmering white-robed
bride, attracted more admiring atten-
ton than did the maid of honor, who
was a radiant vision in rose-colored
crepe.
Maurice Hoyt's eyes expressed the
utmost admiration as he handed her
into the carriage that was to take
them back from the church. He lifted
cautiously a fold of the rosy cloud
that swept against> his knee.
Zone can form very little idea of
the effect of these creations until one
sees them worn," he mused, as if to
himself. REALLY, should never have
guessed that this was half so lovely
he added, smiling shyly.
Several months later an immacu
lately attired young couple went sour
rying down the walk which stretched
in front of a handsome house in 3
Baltimore street.
AS they sprang into the carriage
that awaited them negro porter
swung jauntily down the walk. He
was grinning from ear to ear, and il
each hand he bore a heavy leather
suit case. Both were marked IN. H.
in neat black letters and both were
lavishly adorned with knots and fes
toons of white ribbon.-Lucy Mayo, il
