THE GO BETWEEN

There was James Hoffman,
strong, good to look upon, a man
fit for friendship; Dick Williams,
handsome and weak, and Jessie
Fordham, loving and sweet.
And James Hoffman was living
lie because he cared for those
two. He was trusted by Mr.. and
Mrs. Fordham who looked upon
him as their future son-in-law, and
he carried letters from Dick to
Jessie and from Jessie to Dick,
and if his conscience troubled him
he said: 81 want her to be happy,
no matter how it hurts me-"
For you see he loved Jessie with
love that Dick could never have
comprehended. .,.'
1t was Dick who went to Austria
liza to seek his fortune, and it was
Jim who babe him godSpeed and
promised to Look after Jessie. 1t
was Jim who received the long let
ters for the girl and secretly gave
them to her. He never told her
that he was slowly eating his heart
out.
And one day a letter did not
come and he worried. He clumsily
made all sorts of excuses for Dick
He told Jessie that there was sure.
ly a good reason for the delay,
and he watched her anxiously, i'm
agining that she was growing thin
and pale.
Again no letter, and Jim sat In
his apartments and became a
forger for love of a girl He could
do this easily, for Dicks letters to
Jessie were always inclosed in an
envelope addressed to Jim, and sc
bore no postmark.
Unconsciously, Jim wrote his
own love into the letter that he
signed, Always your loving Dick,
and carried to Jessie.
There were tears in the girls
eyes as she perused it and then
said: "Ah, he never wrote such a
beautiful letter before. I wonder
why the writing is so shaky."
''He has probably been i'll and
| loves you so that he will not tell
| you about It," said Jim.
Again a mail came, but no let
ter, and again did dear old jim
spread his heart on paper and sign
his friends name, carrying the mis-
sive to Jessie.

said. 81 believe you're the most
honorable man in the world, Jim
and I'm only leading you to dc
things against your conscience in
order to escape a blush myself

if tell you"
you see-I've known all alone
why he didn't write. The sympathy
between Dick and me lasted Just
long enough for us to realize some
weeks ago that we were not sc
fond of each other as we imagined
and we agreed to break it off.

Squire, S in Columbus, Ohio

Geo. II. Angel, Esq,
My Dear Sir. The city OF Columou
: has had a p culIar history in regar'
squirrels. A long time ago SOM
one thought 1t would be nice to hav'
some tame squirrels Ia the State
House yard. The squirrels had the
freedom OF tue whole yard, which is
large, beautiful and shady park
Little by little the squirrels Ven
tured out into the city in various
directions, The people already had
become accustomed to them and were
kind to them, making them welcome
wherever they went. This encOur-
aged the squirrels to make further ex
cursions into the city, and as their
numbers multiplied they gradually
(. became a common affair all over the
city. Now it Is no unusal matter to
see a woman feeding squirrels out Of
h md upon her own yeranda, or q man
stepping 10 front Of his own gate to
fondle squirrel who has approached
him for a nut,
10 all parts of the city the SQUIRRELS
20 with perfect freedom, and 1t would
be a sorry day for any boy or man who
would interfere with or ibjure one Of
these beautiful creatures. Even the
dogs of Columbus have learned better
than to chase or harass them. have
never known an instance like it, where
a whole city has become pervaded by
gray squirrels. l have never seen 4
red or black squirrel among them.
Grhere are few white squirrels, but
THE gray ones predominant, and are
becoming very friendly and curious.
Not only do the people welcome the
squirrels to their homes, but build
little houses for them to nest in dur
ing the winter. patterned after the
ones that are provided for them in
the State House park. When a boy 1
supposed squirrel was necessarily a
wild creature. They we're wild simply
because we were their enemies. The
city of Columbus has proven conclv-
sively that to :e Kind to the widest
creatures is TO make them tame and
friendly.
