ously. 1t was Il case of letting go the
pole or getting Il spill. Bclllngram

Bcllingham looked about him help

a punt beneath the willows. She polcd
out to him %skillfully and brought her

ruefully. Very kind of YOU to give

They had reached the willows on tho

ashore. 1t VAS n cozy spot. Books
and cushions lay against the trees and
a spirit kettle blazcd away chccrfully
on II fiat stone.
"Iou might tie your punt here. and

MUTUAL
CONSOLATION
BY Sidney HodSeS Cole


There is a certain little inn ON the
Thames. = quiet, unprctcntious little
affair with ivy running all over its low
walls. and Il stretch OF velvet lawn be-
fore it running down TO the river,
where fussy little launches &c whisking
up and down Importantly II gay
young couples loitcr along in punts.
Some one had recommended he inn
to Bcllin. CHAM long ago. and in his
present state of mind ii seemed TO him
the very place to hide from the world
until his heartacle was over-thc very
place in which TO think it all over and
adjust himself to the new conditions
in which katherine had no part.
Therefore. as o as his baggage
was released by the custom house, lie
sought the little inn on the Thames. en-
gagged rooms for two months. and pre-
pared 10 blot the memory of Il certain
young III in New York from his
mind, if such II thing We're possible.
The inn was well patroniZed, but
most Of its guests were Staid people
past middle life, who sat all day be-
meath the awnings on the lawn, watch
ing the gay life on the river in which
they had no part. 1t WAS all very
satisfactory to Bellingliam. This cXLg-
gcrated quiet was the very thing he
WAS looking for. He was quite coll
tent, he thought. to spend his days
beneath the striped awnings or reading
down by the river. Very few of tho
other guests tried to penetrate his re-
serve. and these few met with so little
encouragement that even they dcsistcd,
and B~ellingham was left to his own de
vices.
Now, Bellingham was II young man
of normal mind despite The fact tina.
he believed himself TO he the victim
Of melancloiia. \. week of this sort OF
monotony bred in him Il restless lie
sire for action. lie decided to take up
runting, and, with all the American be
lief that punting IS something ridicU-
lousy easy to master. he hired n trim
looking punt and set forth.
lie had not gone far on his crratic
course when his respect for puIitins
and FCntcrS was vastly increased.
Somehow it wasn't as easy 10 get the
hang of the thing us he had imagined.
Tie pole had Il most irritating habit OF
sticking in the bottom: moreover, the
depth OF the river seemed most vari-
able
He had gone perhaps n mile whcr
the pole once more stuck in the mud.
and this time the tug he gave failed To

he laughed. ".And. thanks. l will delay
long enough for the tea"
They made Themselves comfortable
on the bank. and while they drank tea
and nibbled thin biscuits they chatted
gayly. Bcllinghnm was surprised to
find that he was enjoying himself i'm
mcnsely. He had not realized before
how his isolation at the Inn had pallcd
on him. Miss Holt was Il remarkably
charming girl. he decided. and besides
this she was possessed of Il ready wit
that inspired Bcllingham to his best
cpigram. and cpigram WAS Boiling
nm' long suit.
Some two hours passed pleasantly
before they went out for the pole
which still stuck up from the river.
When Bellingliam had loaded the books
and cushions into the girls punt and
embarked i'll his own he stood for IL
time surveying her tlloughtfuily.
Il want TO thank You for Il delightful
afternoon" he said ut length. I'm
staying dow at The Keys. | came
there TO cure IL broken heart. To tell
the truth, l haven't Succeeded treinen-
dously."
She smiled comprehcndingly. Since
confessions seem TO be in order she
said, Il may us we'll tell you I'm stay
ing with my aunt at The Bunch of
Grapes farther up the river. I'm sup.
posed to be there to heal the wound of
Il broken engagement. l haven't suc-
cecded amazingly either" she ended
naivcly.
Il say" B~ellingham proposed, lets
form Il mutual consolation society and
have tea again here tomorrow after
noon"
All right. Agrced.'' she laughed a.
she started up the stream.
During the following weeks Boiling
ham left the striped awnings on the
lawn to the other guests. He spent
most of his time at Il certain patch of
willows on the banks of the river:
where there were cushions and books
and tea-and Il pretty girl. He learned
to pole Il punt with something ap-
preaching the English skill, and they
pokcd about the stream discovering
other quiet hooks. The pain in his
heart was considerably lessencd. and
certain disturbing memories ceased to
disturb hin longer.
The two months slipped past and the
time of his return drew near. The aft
ernoon before his departure they were
on the river together. B%cllingham pol
ing and the girl pensivcly silent. The
punt drew up to the willows on the
bank where he had first seen her.
Il hate the idea of breaking up this
society for mutual consolation" said
he. It's been wonderfully successful,
as far as l am concerned. l wish it

For about how long, she asked

protests come, which he must answer
in way to placate all parties Mr..
De Graw is great, big man, physical
ly, with wonderful fund of good ma
ture and the very happy faculty Of
denying applications and requests in a
way that gives no offense, but rather
tickles the pride and humor of the
congressman or postmaster.
AS the official who has in charge the
rural free delivery service, Mr.. De
Graw comes in contact with some odd
people and hears some very unique ex-
periences. He is looked on as the
patron saint of the rural mail carrier,
and they relate to him all their trials
and tribulations. The life of the rural
carrier is full of unique experiences,
and all is not beer and skittles" in
their daily existence. They unfortu-
nately make enemies on their routes,
who try to. interfere with their per-
Torrance of duty. A carrier up in
Pennsylvania wrote to Mr. ed Graw
the other day, detailing his recent ex-
perience as follows:
LAS l was on my way from Lerays-
vile to Rummerfield with the mail
they had lot of sticks in the road
way, and one stuck in one of my wag-
on wheels. l got out to remove it and
found one end fast with wire and,
somewhat vexed, l removed it, and be-
gan to remove the others. John Blanks
wife ran from the house with a large
dipper full of water and threw it on
me, also the second one, and then hit
me on the back with the dipper and
then grabbed up hoe which was on
the yard fence, or near it, and hit mo
across my back three times, and the
last time she hit she broke the handle.
BY that time had removed all the
sticks could get loose"
Mr.. De Graw could send no great
comfort to this badly misused mail car
rier.

name. Yet he was the grandson OF Ste
phen Van Rensselaer,, the last OF the
patroons;" his ancestors held thou
sands of square miles OF lands all the
way from New York to the Canada line;
lands that would have dwarfed the
Scottish estate of the Sutherlands;
lands that no Van Rensselaer, could ever
have seen it he had devoted his life to
viewing them.
The Van Rensselaer, immortal home
was Albany. There they erected a
stately house, one of the finest In the
country. OF late it grew dilapidated,
practically on the edge of q railroad
yard, and it was taken to pieces, carried
over the mountains into Massachusetts
and set up to- serve as q chapter house
for Williams college secret society,
SO much more reverent OF things OF the
past is New England.
Taxes and neglect of trade were the
selaers. They had land, but in the '4O's
the state OF New York adopted barn
burner constitution" Astor was a
parvenu beside the Van Rensselaers,
but he traded in furs and got rich Old
Lion Gardiner, on GARDENERS Island, at
the eastern end of Long Island, was TO
the English aristocracy that came in
after 1868 what the various Vans were
in Albany; the GARDENERS have had bet
ter luck in preserving their strangely
un-American manor untouched by mod
ern change, but, like the Vans, they are
prominent, proud and comparatively
poor. Gardeners Island was one of the
few American lordships outside OF Mary
land, and it is about the only one that
retains much of it's ancient form in the
hands of descendants OF the ancient
owners.
