The Herald building was a decrepit
frame structure on Main street. 1t
had once been a small warehouse and
was now sadly in need of paint. Close
~ adjoining it, in large, blank looking
yard, stood a low brick cottage, over
which the second story of the old ware
house leaned in an effect Of tipsy af-
lection that had reminded HAIRLESS,
when he first saw it, Of an old Sunday
school book woodcut of an inebriated
parent under convoy of devoted child.
The title to these two buildings and
the blank yard had been included in
the purchase of the Herald, and the
cottage was the editors home.
There was a light burning upstairs
in the Herald office. From the street
q broad, tumbledown stairway ran ur
on the outside of the building to the
second floor, and at the stairway rail-
ing John turned and shook his COM
panion warmly by the hand.

"Well," observed William, with an
other yawn, which threatened to ex-

John went up the steps, singing
aloud
For tonight We'll merry, merry be,
For tonight We'll merry, merry be-"
and stopped on the sagging platform
at the top of the stairs and gave the
moon good night with a wave of the
hand and friendly laughter. At this it
suddenly struck him that he was TWEEN
ty-nine years Of age and that he had
laughed a great deal that evening;
laughed and laughed over things not
In the least humorous, like an excited
schoolboy making a first formal call;
that he had shaken hands with Miss
Briscoe when he left her as if he should
never see her again; that he had taken
Miss Sherwood's hand twice in one
very temporary parting; that he had
shaken the judges hand five times and

speech, perhaps little lady Of King
Louis court wandering down the years
from Fontainebleau and appearing to
clumsy mortals sometimes of summer
night when the moon was in their
heads.
But today she was Of the daintiest
color, a pretty girl whose gray eyes
twinl1led to his in gay companionship.
He marked how the sunshine danced
across the shadows of her fair hair
and seemed itself to catch a luster
rather than impart it, and the light of
the June day drifted through the gauzy
hat to her face, touching it with a deli
cate and tender flush that came and
went like the vibrating pink of early
dawn. She had the divinest straight
nose, tip tilted faint, alluring tritle,
and dimple cleft her chin, ''the dead
lest maelstrom in the world!" He
thrilled through and through. He had
been only vaguely conscious of the
dimple in the night. 1t was not until
he saw her by daylight that he really
knew it was there.
The village hummed with life before
them. They walked through simmer
ing airs. sWeeter to breathe than nectar
is to drink. She caught butterfly
basking on a jimson weed, and before

lay content. droWsily wondering why
he smiled, only knowing that there
was something new. 1t was thus as
boy he had wakened on birthday
mornings or on Christmas or on the
Fourth of July, drifting happily out of
pleasant dreams into the consciousness
of long awaited delights that had come
true, yet lying only half awake in
cheerful borderland, leaving happiness
underlined.
The morning breeze was f1uttering at
his window blind, honeysuckle vine
tapped lightly on the pane Birds were
trilling, warbling, whistling, and from
the street came the rumbling of wag-
ons, merry cries of greeting and the
barking of dogs. What was it made
him feel so young and strong and light
hearted? The breeze brought him the
smell of June roses, fresh and sweet
with dew, and then he knew why he
had come smiling from his dreams. He
leaped out of bed and shouted loudly:
''Zen! Hello, Xenophonv'
In answer an ancient, very black
darby, his warped and wrinkled Wis.
age showing under his grizzled hair
like charred paper in a fall of pine
ashes, put his head in at the door and
said: Good mawn', sub. Yessuh. Hits
done pump full. Good mawn', subj"
A few moments later the colored
man, seated on the front steps of the
cottage, heard a mighty splashing
within while the rafters rang with
stentorian song:
"IIe promised to buy me bonny blue
He promised to buy me bonny blue
ribbon,
He promised to buy me bonnv blue
ribbon,
To tie up my bonny brown hair.
"Oh dear, what can the matter be?

mouth opened and stayed open. "Himv'

old man, "but, bless GaWd, de young

suddenly, and he scratched his head.

The splashing ceased, but not the voice,
which struck into noble marching
chorus.

sides of the square resounded with the
rattle of vehicles Of every kind Since
earliest dawn they had been pouring in
to the village, a long procession, on ev-
cry country road. The air was full Of
exhilaration; everybody was laughing
and shouting and calling greetings, for
Carlow county was turning out, and
from far and near the country people
came-nay, from over the county line;
and clouds Of dust arose from every
thoroughfare and highway and swept
into town to herald their coming.

Of the hand. ''Mildy says to wait out
here"
There was faint rustling within the
house, the swish of draperies on the
stairs, delicious whispering, when
light feet descend, tapping, to hearts
that beat an answer, the telegraphic
message: "We come! We come! We
are near! We are near!' Lige Will
let's stared at Harkless. He had never
thought the latter was good looking I'M
til he saw him step to the door to take
Helen Sherwood's hand and say, in a
strange, low, tense voice, 'Good morn
ing" as If he were announcing, at the
least: EVERY one in the world, except
Us two, died last night. 1t is solemn
thing, but am very happy
They walked, Minnie and Mr.. Will
let's, a little distance in front of the
others. HAIRLESS could not have told
afterward whether they rode or walked
or foated on an airship to the court
house. All he knew distinctly was
that divinity in pink shirt waist
and hat that was woven Of gauzy
cloud by hooking fairies to make him
stoop hideously to see under it dwelt
for the time on earth and was at his
side, dazzling him in the morning sur
shine. Last night the moon had lent
her silvery glamour. She had some
thing Of the ethereal whiteness of
night dews in that watery light, a
nymph to laugh from sparkling foun-
tain at the moon, or, as he thought, re-
membering her courtesy for his pretty

SO you can make little batteries in the
morning too. It is another courtesy
you should be having from me if it
weren't for the business of it. Wait

She had some big pink roses at her
waist.
Indicating these, he answered, In
the meantime, know very we'll a lad
that would be blithe to accept pretty
token of any lady's high esteem"
"But you have one already; very
beautiful one" She gave him a genial
up and down glance from head to foot,
half quizzical and half applauding, but
so quick he scarcely saw it, and he was
glad he had resurrected the straw hat
with the youthful ribbon and his other
festal vestures. "And very becoming

"But why shouldn't you barney with

ESPECIALLY when the gentleman had
the politeness to gallop about the coun-
ty with me tucked under his arm"
| She stood still and laughed softly, but
consummately, and her eyes closed
tight with the mirth of it. She had
taken one Of the roses from her waist,
and as she stood holding it by the long
stem it's cool petals lightly pressed her
| lips.
"You may have tin exchange" she
said. He bent down to her, and she
fastened her rose in place of the white
one in his coat. She did not ask him,
directly or indirectly, who had put the
white one there for him. She knew by
the way it was pinned that he had
done it himself. 'Who is it that ev'ry
morning brings me these lovely flow
ers? she burlesqued as he bent over
her.
"Mr. Windy" he returned. II will
point him out to you. You must see
him and Mr.. Bodeffer, who is the old
est inhabitant and the crossest of Car
low"
| "Will you present them to me?"
"No; they might talk to you and
take some of my time with you away

Her eyes sparkled into his for the
merest fraction Of a second, and she
laughed. Then she dropped his lapel,
and they proceeded. She did not put
the white rose in her belt, but carried
it.
The square was heaving with a JOS
Ting, moving, good natured, happy and
constantly increasing crowd that over
flowed on Main street in both direc-
lions and whose good nature augment
ed in the ratio that it's size increased.
The streets were kaleidoscope Of
many colors, and every window open
ing on Main street or tile square was
filed with eager faces. BY 9 o'clock
all the windows of the courthouse in
the center of the square were occupied.
Here most of the damsels congregated
to enjoy the spectacle of the parade,
and their SWANS attended, posted at
coigns Of less vantage behind the la
dies. Some Of the faces that peeped
from the windows of the dark, old,
shady courthouse were pretty, and
some Of them were not pretty, but near
~ all of them were rosy checked, and
all were pleasant to see because of the
good cheer they kept.

HEALTHY MOTHERS.

Mothers should always keep in
good health. They owe it to their
children. Yet it is no unusual
sight to see mother, with babe in
arms, coughing violently and ex-
hibiting all the symptoms OF a
consumptive tendency. And why
should this dangerous condition
exist, dangerous alike to mother
and child, when DR.. Boschee's Ger
man Syrup would put stop to it
at once? No mother should be
without this old and tried remedy
in the house-for its timely use
will promptly cure any lung, throat
or bronchial trouble in herself or
her children. The worst cough or
cold can be speedily cured by Ger
man Syrup; SO can hoarseness and
congestion of the bronchial tubes.
1t makes expectoration easy, and
gives instant relief and refreshing
rest to the cough-racked consump-
tive. New trial bottles, 25c; large
size, 75c. For sale by j. G. Pres
son, Camden, Tenn.
