CHAPTER XXXIV,
NO MOURNERS.

A~o 2AoONANGLISo.
How Aunt Lorey and the hired mans
wife were awakened by the latter's
spouse that Halloween night, how the
two women, wrapped in quilts, sat in
fear and trembling while the hired
man vainly searched the premises with
lantern and later related how he
was scared almost out of his wits by
the delirious conduct of David, and
how, when daylight came, the story
spread over the village like wild-fire.
was perhaps the most exciting incident
Greenvale ever knew. For over two
months now it had been known that
David was in precarious condition:
his premises were by some considered
haunted; the old scandal of Amzis
disappearance was revived and dis
cussed, also what the outcome would
be in case Martin married Angie and
took the law on David. And so in
terested was the entire village now in
the latest development-the midnight
and supposed insane flight of David
that the sun was scarcely up an hour
ere his premises were almost black
with people. Angie only remained
away, but Aunt Comfort was in the
crowd and DR.. Sol led the searchers
Meier, a good deal scared, but holding
his peace, was with the rest, but search
where they would, no trace of David
was found. Both mills were examined
time and again, and every clubhouse;
small parties probed the mill fumes
with long sticks; the pool below the
falls was examined with poles and
graphing hooks, while others secured
the woods, but without avail.
David had vanished like his brother.
and the mystery grew deeper.
Suicide, of course, was his fate, or
else death from exposure, for at his
age and in his condition, no man could
live long wandering demented and al
most nude in the woods and swamps.
This was the general verdict, and when
noon came and the crowd dispersed.
a few men and boys organized and be-
gan a more extended search.
1t was three days before they found
David, and then his body was discov-
cred in the middle of Mizzy swamp,
miles away And as If providential
retribution led those searchers, it was
Meier who first received the shock Of
discovery.
II s'pose we'd orter wear mournin'
fer spell jist fer the looks on t."
Aunt Comfort said the night after the
funeral to Angie, "he was your fathers
brother, arter all, n you're like to
cum in fer suthin'. wonder IL he left
a WING"
This combination Of interest not
only expressed Aunt Comforts broad
charity, but reflected all that Green
vale now cared for David Curtis.
No will was found, however, except
the original one that had separated
two brothers for life. Bank books

Mr.. Moraan,s Rock Crystal Cup.

The crystal, pink at the heart, was
as transparent as ice, and its many
facets twinkle and glittered in the
light. Its intricate shape and its
phenomenal polish led the visitor to
say:

he felt equal to the task now. For

his heart; every ietail was distinct.
He took off his coat, rolled up his
sleeves, and wrote reverently:
Her white veil hung down behind,
ending half way between the knee and
ankle. Her gown was white and

sighed dreamily, for it brought back to
him the bride in all her iazzling lowell
ness. Then he handed in the manu-
script, but the fashion editor got hold
Of it somehow, and it was side

Mason and Dixon's Line.

The historic Mason and Dixon line
has just been resulveyed at the joint
expense of the states of Pennsylvania
and Maryland. The surveyors found
that many of the old markers and
crown stones had been displaced, One
stone was III use as a doorsill in
house, another in a church and some
had been used in bake ovens. The line
was carefully reestaDliShed and the
old stone posts set along its course
after Mason and Dixon marked it out
in 1863 were reset i'll solid cement
bases, and iron posts were substituted
in places whore the old ones had disap-
pearCd. A good many of us have prob
ably forgotten the origin of the Mason
and Dixon line and that it was the re-
suit of a dispute between Pennsylvania
and Maryland over their respective
boundaries as described in their char.
