The hall door was never shut, but with pretenSe
of holding it open the old man had forsaken his
chair and was standing if posing for the photo
graph of a courteous bow and if 1t was hap
pening of everyday moment and not an occasion
of ceremony the young stepped into the hall
and looked about him, at the oak beams bearing
the marks of the pioneer AK and the rough walls
that resembied the interior of a medieval forest.
Beneath the portrait of a beautiful woman he
halted, and the old man, unconscious Of cere-
mony, and with the grace of a reminiscent tender
ness, bowed low and said: MY wife, sir this
young Polly's grandmother. 1t was done by a
Frenchman, the potest man | ever saw and those
of us who knew him voted it a pity, not to say
regret when he lost his life in Louisiana at the
hands of a translated countryman."
With the delivery of this sentence, smooth from
practice the Colonel picked up his formal ceremony.
He brought forth the piece OF sword, and for the
edifcation of his guest snapped the horse-plstol;
and once when he turned suddenly he came near
catching the visitor as he smiled at the girl.
Now they moved down farther, and the visitor,

Into the hallway came the scent
of a mast-fed ham, broiling; and
the Young fellow shifted like fox
hound. This pleased the Colonel,
and clapping him upon the Shout
der, he declared him fit company
for heroes, as it was the mast-fed
ham that not only had conquered
the wilderness but built up the
old-time South's race of famous
orators. At the table the Colonel
was a moving picture of gracious
ness. He gave the peroration of
a speech made by S. S. Prentiss;
he recited that curdling poem,
The Stab" by Harvey: and
after a scene from Major Jones'
Courtship" he threw himself back
and laughed till the tears ran
down his face; and they cleaned
in the subdued light, for although
the sound of our laughter may de
note age, our tears are always
young.
When the young man had taken
his leave, with much ceremony on
the part of the Colonel, who again
pretended to hold the door open
for him, the girl, sitting in the
dim old parlor, seemed to fall into
a strangely quiet muse. The
Colonel hated a lamp, and so he l:

Carrie Morse took her life, Saturday
afternoon by drowning herself in the
kenncbec river near the Pines" In
sanity is the explanation of the suicide.
She was 80 years of age. and was
the daughter OF Mr. and Mrs Andrew
Morse, both of whom are now deceased.
Her home was with her brother, AL
Morse. who is a highly respected citi-
zen of this town and lives near the
Pines, on the road leading from Show
hogan to NorriGgewock on the south
side of the river.
For several years. Miss Morse has
been mentally deranged and during a
portion of the time has received treat

Ia, several months ago, her condition
WAS sufficiently improved to permit her
being brought home.
Saturday afternoon. she said she
would like to so down in the Pines for
Il little while; and the permission was
granted. She had made previous
visit to the grove, returning safely,
and the family thought she would come
back all right on this occasion. Miss
Morse left the house at about l o'clock

and searched as far out as they could

The Lakewood Season Closed.

The last performance of the season
was given in Lakewood theatre. Satur-
day night. Under the efficient manage
ment Of Herbert SWEET, the season has
been most successful. Last year, and
on previous years, a stock company oc-
cupied the boards with comedy, drama
and melodrama. This year an expert
mcnt was tried, and through the
Joseph j. Flynn agency new COM
pany has been obtained each week, the
nature Of the entertainment being
vaudeville. The results were satisfac-
tory, but it is doubtful if the better
class of theatre goers would care FOR
ii as a steady diet. Manager SWEET
has not as yet made public his plans
in regard to the form of amusement
for next season.
Many improvements have been made
during the year, and the grounds at
Lakewood are now among the most
beautiful to be found at similar resorts

Not the least of the attractions is
the hotel, whose standard of excellence
has been high this summer.
