Bridgeton pioneer., 1906-08-16

Blty about the silk mills and this
would be good time to crafty it. The
widow suddenly decided that Tommy
might get over his illness without any
OF her help. She had her fair share of
sisterly affection, but Tommy was one
OF these fellows that always played
BABY even with a cold in the head.
Two mornings later the judge took
an early morning walk. 1t was an
hour before breakfast. He walked
down to the depot to see the 6:20 train
go out. He was ON time, and he saw
rhe Widow Chatham there. She lodged
aim and returned to the hotel instead of
taking the train. When they met at
breakfast neither one said anything
about their walk, but the landlord rub
bed his hands and smiled and said to
his wife:
Marie, my magniicence grows. The
widower and the widow were out for a
sunrise walk this morning. That means
love and matrimony. l was the one to
Introduce them and bring two happy
hearts together OF course it will 90
into both bills as an extra"
There is pretty fair mountain at
Lausanne. 1t is high enough to have
precipices and rugged enough to put
man out of wind to climb 1t. When
you have followed Lovers walk far
enough you strike into Hearts high
way and quarter Of a mile farther
you debouch upon platform called
"Maiden's rest" The judge and the
widow had been up there twice. On
the afternoon of the early morning
walk they took the path again. When
they had reached the plateau and found
seats and had few words to say about
the view the widow looked the judge
fair in the eyes and said:
"Mr. Fordham, in about three min
utes, unless you promise to leave Lau-
same by the evening train, shall be-
gin to scream"
"Yes," he calmly replied.
II shall run down the path shouting
for help"
"Yes."
II shall meet people and declare that
you threatened me. I think you will
understand what that will mean to
you"
Certainly, but there are loopholes in
your plan. For instance, have no
less than three witnesses concealed be-
hind the rocks up here. Then I have
a telegram to the effect that your Broth
er Tommy is in custody at Lyons I
also have second stating that his ex.
tradition papers, for which have been
waiting these many days, are ready for
me-"
"Where do 1 come in?" she asked
after awhile.
"You don't come in. Tommy did the
embezzling, and you simply ran away
with him. So far as my instructions
go, you are to be left behind here in
Europe to enjoy yourself as best you
may. No doubt you have some Of the
stolen money to pay your bills with,
but 1 was not instructed to arrest you.
I was simply keeping tab on you until
the papers were ready for Tommy. Is
there anything more to say?"
RAA, w hot hllOW yOuI answered
the widow as she arose and started
down the path by her lonesome.
"And so you go away to Lyons?'' re-
peated the landlord after the Judge had
announced his intentions.
''Yes; have to CO."
"And the widow from Chicago, Can
ada?"
Il must leave her in your keeping.
We have had misunderstanding. You
know how cantankerous American
widows are"
Maria" said the landlord to his wife
that evening, ''I may be magnificent
and | may not. The widower and the
widow have quarreled and he has
started for Lyons, and it may be that
he will never come back to plead for
reconciliation. The main point, how
ever, is that / charged him two extras
for falling in love with another guest
of my house and falling out again, and
maybe am magnificent after all.'
