Meeting his name with that of a ricl
and prominent widow on Chestnu
street"
Mr.. De Lisle was duly introduced Il
the Widow Bidwell. She had no sooner
set eyes on him than her heart begar
to palpitate. The poet had come. Ht
looked and dressed the part. He alsC
acted it Nothing was said of hel
dressmaking on the one hand nor OF
his oat business on the other. They
talked of sonnets and poems and idyls
and the widow was not In the hotel
dining room to note the quantity OF
corned beef and cabbage he got away
with at dinner.
There was a fourth notice IN the
Clarion. The spurned editor hadn't
much to do with auction bills just
then, and he had time to keep track
Of affairs on Chestnut street. He had
been told that Mr.. Harold De Lisle
was only a travelling agent for gang
of eastern swindlers, but he wasn't
going to say so. On the contrary, what
he said was:
'sThe wealthy and distinguished Mr..
De Isle is still with us, and If he has
not won the heart Of Reed City lady
then rumor has gone far astray. The
wedding will probably be quiet af.
fair, and bride and groom may make a
honeymoon trip to Europe"
The Bohemian oats man who looked
no 1t-o~
who really wrote rhymes were not ex-
actly frank with each other. He never
asked the name of her brother or what
disease he died of. He never asked If
that fortune had come or when it might
be expected.
On her part, she didn't ask in what
part of the keystone State his oil well
was situated or what national bank he
honored with his deposits. They read
the Clarion and trusted in each other.
There were more farmers waiting to
buy Bohemian oats and find a crop of
weeds, but still Harold De Lisle lin
gered. There were dresses that Gus
toners We're waiting for, but still the
widows sewing machine was silent
The languidness and lethargy of lock
ing like a poet and being a poet beat
sliding down hill all hollow. The fifth
puff in the Clarion was a send-off.
1.-The event of the season occurred at
the Methodist church two days since"
it read "As we have all along pre-,
dicted, we have lost our fairest flower
In other words, Mr.. Harold De Lisle
prevailed upon the charming Widow
Bidwell to give him her hand and heart
and the Rev. Mr.. Peters made them
man and wife in very impressive GER
emony. The happy couple left for Chi
cago Immediately after, but may re-
turn next week to prepare for the jaunf
abroad"
Ten days later the bride returned and
at once notified all old customers that
business was TO be resumed at the old
stand
Ten days later in a distant state the
bridegroom was talking up Bohemian
oats. They had come to an understand
ing about money matters. They had
understood that each had played the
confidence game on the other and that
they hadn't $500 between them.
Editor Flint Of the Clarion and Fer

wrote an auction bill for Farmer Jones
and told him what the price for 20o
copies would be, and as he found him.

'The superintendent made an actual

What the Cincinnati Enquirer says
Of "Dora Thorne" 4 large audience
gave its seal Of applauding approval to
this bit Of stage literature last plight
Judging from the applause the produc-
ton is Just what the theatre-goers want
"Dora Thorne" as a story Is too well
known for comment but it must be adj
mitted that the playwright has improved
upon the plot to such an extent that
the play is far more interesting than the
book Dramatic liccuce IS somewhat
elastic at times to say the least aod in
the play the most dramatic and exciting
points Of the book are brought out with
decisive action and elearness, Nor IS
the comedy found wanting; maeh hui
NOR is interminglcd-with the episodes q
the drama making rs whole play
