And now 1t was time for Joe and Jim
to be doing something. Their eyes pro-

Then the way Joe and Jim went up

safely perched some ten feet from the
ground they turned to the young stranger
who still occupied his tree limb some
twenty feet distant from their places of
safety.

owner of that voice has been foolin' us"
said Joe, stopping and peering through
the underbrush. But at that moment
voice just over their heads said: Have
you got a gun? And can you shoot
straight enough to kill two bearsT'
You can imagine the surprise of Joe
and Jim when they heard these quickly
spoken questions; and more astonished
still when on looking up they beheld
boy Of some twelve years of age perch
ed on a tree limb quite high above the
ground. He was pale from apparent
fright, and. he was holding tightly to
the bough in a nervous way. His hat
and fishing tackle lay on the ground be-
meath the tree he was perched In.
Joe and Jim looked quickly around them
for the two BEARS but nothing of n
live nature, save the trees, was in sight.
Say" said Jim, looking up at the boy
In the tree, what you givin' us? There
amt any bears about here. You must
be dreamin'. Wake up"
You'd better wake up yourself" said
the boy. What do you call themT'
And he pointed towards dark spot be-
meath clump of trees that were stand
Ing in thicket of heavy underbrush.
Jim and Joe strained their eyes to see
into the shady enclosure, and suddenly
both gave cry of fright. There, sure
enough, were two moving dark objects
which, upon closer inspection, greatly
resembled bears. One was large and one
was small The small one seemed to be
busily biting or licking something at its
feet, while the larger one would stand
near to 1t as If In deep contemplation
Of something on the ground. But the
boys voices seemed to catch the atten-
tion of the animals, for both left off ex-
amining the curious thing at their feet
and turned their beady black eyes-so

But not peep did he get of a sheep;
Though he hunted everywhere.
In the meadow wide the sheep did hide,
For they knew, 30 I've been told,

So safe and sound on the grassy ground

ing hearts that excited within her the
warmest admiration and pity Stoop-
ing over them she would whisper,
Poor little bleeding hearts! What
cruel fate has caused thy tender
hearts to burst with grief? Will thy
heartache never cease? Must thou
forever keep the secret and let fall
thy pearly tears in silence? Surely,
somewhere, sometime thy tender
hearts will cease to ache and then
will come rest, divine perfect rest"
Or to the cockscomb she would say,
"Ah, you brave little warrior, thriv-
ing so sturdily! Do you think only
of your own ambition? Truly you are
conscious of the brightness of your
comb which puts to shame the short
lived beauty of the moss"
Similar words were addressed to
all the flowers; to the lilies and to the
violets, but the lilies were so pale
that all praise failed to bring faint
color to their blanched faces.
Not only among flowers did Genev.
ra bestow her attention, but among
the sick and sorrowful she was an
angel of mercy and her kind eyes re-
vealed the true soul we find in all
noble nature. She belonged to no
clubs, no societies, but she lived her
life each day in doing her duty to all
who needed her. The villagers were
very fond of her. The little pre-
JUDGES they had felt towards her at
first had vanished as mysteriously as
a circle on stream. She had charm
ed them all with her sweet personality
and they became attached to her as
she visited the sick and smoothed
away the pain from weary brows.
Finally the time came when their
son Cyril went to college and his let
tiers were source of enjoyment to
his parents. The brown autumn, the
white winter and budding spring had

doctors newly painted Stanhope. To
be sure, Ginevra was young and not
a worldly woman" She was only
twenty, but she loved Boniface with
her whole heart She had never
known a real kindness in her life ex-
cept when she paid for it, and DIR.
Stone was so good, that she believed
him, trusted him, loved him! She
was just beginning to taste the sweet
ness of life.
Mrs. Conway and Sara Moore were
among the first to call on her and
they could not blame the doctor for
loving her, although Mrs. Conway
conhded to Sara Moore on the way
home, that it would have been better
had he chosen among the home girls
for wife. AS time passed by, Ginev-
IA ceased to be looked upon as an in
terloper. Her life seemed to her like
a lovely fairy tale and when her little
boy was born she declared he was the
dearest child that ever lived
She stood in the doorway one
morning looking after Boniface, who
had started on his professional calls.
"Boniface," she repeated softly, dear
kind Boniface. How appropriate is
the name to his noble, manly char
acter' After lingering a moment
she went to the garden and gathered
a cluster of roses and placed them
on his desk in his study How fond
he was of roses! They gave such a
cheerful aspect to the darkened room
and he always observed them with
pleasure, for did not their presence
tell that Ginevra had thought of him
He had often told her of the pride
his mother had taken in caring for
all of the flowers, and it pleased him
to see Ginevra devote so much time
to their culture. To her, the roses
were very lovely. They appeared so
queenly, so dignifed and then Boni-
face loved them, but it was the bleed

calm"
What's in name?," quoted
Grace Dudley "The doctor fell in
love, inquired about her, and what
next Mrs. Conway?
WELL he managed to visit that pa
tent quite frequently and met the
young lady in question. OF course |
do not know all about the affair, but
his vacation was unusually long, and
to make long story short, he asked
her to marry him, she accepted him
and now you have the news in nut
shell" Then Mrs. Conway assumed
the air of one who knows all about
everything. The remaining part OF
the afternoon was spent i'll talking of
Ginevera and Doctor Stone, till twi-
light fell and the feminine work was
folded away and each one returned
to her respective home thinking that
strange things happen in this world.
When boy, Boniface Stone longed
to study for the pulpit, but his father
died when he was most needed, leav-
ing but small pittance to his widow
and child. 1t was great disappoint-
ment to Boniface to have his hopes
so blasted, but he worked at anything
he could find to do, until old Doctor
White gave him the use of his medi-
cal books and assisted him in his
studies. Boniface studied earnestly
and laboriously. His mother was so
proud of him. Often when hope
wavcred within him, kind look from
her and word of encouragement,
led him on, until he was able to go to
college and achieved the success
which comes after patient toll and
study. When he rturned to Milford,
a new sign was placed by that of
Doctor White, and finally, when DR..
White died, Dr. Stone took charge
of his entire practice.
He was a favorite with all the wo-
men, old and young His amiablity
and politeness made him the envy OF
those who were not so fortunate as
to possess such traits of character
Many a mother would gladly have
seen her daughter welded to DR.
Stone, but the doctor was content
to sip his coffee with only the kind
face of his mother smiling at him
across the table. Their home was
quantity furnished and Madame Stone
took infinite pleasure in caring for
her flowers and making the surround
ngs cheerful. When his mother died
DR.. Stone remained at the old home
and no one ever dreamed that he
would marry. 1t was a seven days
wonder when he married Ginevra and
brought her home as triumphantly
as did John Alden the maiden Pris-
ella, although they came in more
modern conveyance which was the
Truth. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1901-1908, 1907-04-13

in old-fashioned simplicity and the
atmosphere was freighted with
pleasing and soothing quietness. One
of the weekly events in Milford was
the meeting of the sewing society
whose members were as prone to gos-
sip as people in small villages general
ly are They assembled every We'd
nesday afternoon to sew for the poor
and indulge in little gossip between
stitches. 1t was between stitches
at one of the meetings that Mrs. Con-
way, wife of the village. attorney,
astounded her hearers with the news
that Boniface Stone, the only doctor
Milford could boast of, had fallen in
love with a young girl and was go
ing to marry her.
Grace Dudley, who had been hem
ming bibs, dropped her work in her
lap and gasped, Mrs. Conway!"
Or. Stone in love with young
girl" said Sara Moore, pray, who
may she be?'
1T would net be quite so horrify-
ing if he would marry one of you girls
here at home, but the idea of man
of forty falling in love with girl
of twenty and stranger at that, is
positively shocking. I tell you l
have no use for strangers. How do
we know who we are accepting into
our select society? It is enough to
make old Madame Stone turn over in

her scissors with great hrmness and
threaded her needle.

she, tieing a knot in way to display

he was so impressed with her gray
