Meanwhile, Dick proceeded to do

original twist or turn that seemed to
change the aspect of the whole place

past the stable and duck pond to an

to view Dicks pet hobby, his white

anything that interested Dick parti-
cularly outside of his profession, it
was his chickens, and he could launch

brilliant Jack had until but a few
years ago found very, very absorbing.
Jack. in his turn, having a mind
quick to grasp and comprehend, and
quite content to let the Weightier
matters of the law rest as they we're,
found plenty Of timesfor both study
and gaiety, and while the links Of
the old comraderY still bound him to
his friend, yet he felt as though all
real sympathy-the sympathy that
gives a nod Of understanding and
smokes in silence-had ceased to
exist. Then, too, Dicks father hav-
ing died when he was but preparing
for college, and his mother leaving
the little town for her native city
because Of the intense dislike for the
place sickness and sadness had en-
gendered, both families grew up with
but occasional glimpses of each
other; so, despite the fact Of being
students together, it was not until
both had entered into their profess
sions that anything like the old
friendship had been established. For
not long after graduating, hearing
Of a good opening in a little town
but eighteen miles from his birth
place, Dick decided to locate there.
After a short while, being fully per-
suaded that he would do we'll, he, by
means Of much coaxing, cajoIing, de-
scriptions Of the state Of bis stomach
from the food thrown, therein, and
last, but not least, Of the pretty cot

most reasonable Of prices, had in

duced his mother and sisters to come
to Rinden to live.
Two years before this, Editha, the.
older Of the two girls, had gone home
with Jacks sister for q vacation visit,
both having just graduated from col
lege. Being young, pretty, bright
and, withal, blest with what one calls
sweet manners, she was feted and
ionized TO her hearts content, as
sometimes happens when one is young,
and particularly when several fair

opinion she had formed from aundry

Hello, Jack" cried the doctor, az,
raising his eyes, he met the humor-
Gus gaze Of his friend bent upon him,
what are yOa Of ell people doing in
this placer
SO glad you distinguished me from
a germ, Dick" retorbed the other,
with mock gravity, you cannot i'm,
agine how fsttsred l am; but, Sc
riously, you don't mean to say that
you don't know why | am here, don't
know Of the big meeting on for to-
night, and that | am to speak for old
mar Crauson? Where on earth do
you keep ~yourself?"
Richard Ellis, flushed at the ~raiIlery
SO evident in his friends tone, well
remembering how often before Jack
had accused him of a lack of interest
in everyday things about him. "Oh,
politics, Jack; I've been so busy
lately that | haven't had time to eat,
except on rare occasions, much less
to care whether Crauson is Judge or
not; but, by the way, as this is one
of those rare occasions when / re-
fresh the inner man, come down to

set before you, yet I'll wager it is
better than what you'll get at this
hotel Do you know that / never
can realize how I managed to exist
the time that l was forced TO stay
here; sven now cold chills of appre-
hension creep over me at the least
suggestion Of those grease-f filed
days"
For a second Jack hesitated, a
lH 49,
half-spoken objection upon his lips,
his dislike Of the hotel dinner aot
half so strong as his desire to see
Editha again, in spite Of his many
resolutions not to. But at the doc

think you we're a stranger, although
you might as we'll be one for all you
seem TO care about u.s." his resolu-
sious vanished, and falling into step
behind the doctor, he grimly thought
of the many morrows' regret for the
pleasure Of the next few hours.
These two. chums as boys, friends
always, had, as is the case between
men of widely different tastes, lost
che intimate hold upon each other
that boyhood generates and maa-
hood fosters. Dick, studious, reti-
cent. with q mind upon the serious
ness Of his vocation, lost at times at
the magnitude Of what might be ac-
cotaplished By earnest endeavor and
painstaking thought, had but little
title to either follow or indulge in

what Jack would think Of her decep-
ton, and what she saw in his face.
You see" she began hurriedly TO
explain, we have no cook, and as
am IN that exalted capacity, / thought
it would not do"
Yes" broke in Jack, I see q very
selfish, misguided young lady, and to
punish her and make her see the
error Of her ways, / intend to wipe
dishes until ! drop from very ex-
|haustion."
Thereupon, he seized q towel from
the nearby rack and began solemnly
to polish 9 dish with the moss critical
of eyes, not paying the slightest at
tention to Editha's agonized protests
that if he would only go away, she
would hurry up and be the most I'M
selfish of mortals for as long as he
cared to have her SO.
Dick, ron villain" interrupted
Jack, unheedingly, come here, get a
towel, and help: I'll bet you've never
tried this, or you never could with
stand its charms as you are doing"
With q mock shudder, Dick backed
off apprehensively. No, no, not for
me, old boy; If / once did a thing Of
that sort, Editha and Bet would press
me into service so often that my pa
TENTS would be sadly neglected. By
the way, I have to be off on 8 call
now, or I'll never BY back in time to
hear that great speech Of yours"

was the chase, from door to door,

noises, glasses ratified, and time-hon-

those within, or in the amazed ejacu-
lations OF the chickens without, with
coat-tails flying, he made off down

ordinary msn-hirt. So, not being at
all aware of the hidden reefs in such
a course, she resolved that net her
heart, at least, should fall captive to
his wiles, but that he should find her
prowess equal to his, to deal in the
blind Gods wares. and yet escape+the
dart. Thus, after the rough edge Of
renewed friendship had worn off, the
tilt began. On her part, at first, ad-
miration for manners absolutely
charming, and the delight Of the bat
tie, gave zest to each encounter;
then a ~tempering to something warm
er, an inclination to believe that be
was not quite so black as painted,
made little qualms Of fear disturb
her erstwile tranquility, and, finally,
the he~art-throb, that she was but an
other in the tolls. Still there was no
weakening, no outward change in her
demeanor, and though at every turn
she steeled herself to meet his adj
vance, Jack could boast Of no favor
not given the many.
And Jack, disposed at first to
shower upon her the attentions that
many had mistaken for something
warmer, just because she was at
tractive, and as yet bore the charm
of the undiscovered, became more
and more interested, as now and then
in their many rambles, some reveIa-
ton Of an unknown depths Of soul
startled him out Of his complacent
egoism, until he realized before many
weeks were over that the girl had
become more than dear to him. In
spite Of these facts, however, and as
time went on, it seemed more and
more absurd, he could not get rid Of
his first impression that she was like
the many he had known, shallow, car
ing for nothing but pleasure and
pretty clothes, and having no thought
but for the merrY-go-round Of the
present, with the proverbial good
match" . ready-made future. Know
ing his present inability to furnish
tt settings for such . gem, even
we're be content with the love she
could give in return, he schooled his
heart to think as his head wiIled,
and tried to satisfy himself that the
way Of the heart was but a poor one
after all. Day after day saw them
together; she with an aching heart,
guarding each word lest lie know; he

During the following winter they

,ity, Editha had, or pretended TO

The move to Eunice had formed
an excellent excuse for Editha not
to repeat her visit TO Jacks home
-thesnezt summer, and the delight
and work Of identifying and decorat-
ing the fine old house, and of potter
ing about the sw~eet-scented, neglect
ed garden, lessened the shadow that
at times would gather in her eyes.
After Dick had ushered Jack into
the cool, inviting sitting-room, and
had babe him wait there until he
reached the kitchen door that be re-
membered that there had been no.
cook for a week, and that Editha
was in that household additions
place. Still, as the musicghad to be
faced. with more assurance than he
felt, he balled out. "Editha, I've
brought Jack home to dinner"
Editha, bending over the stove,
giving the last finishing stirs to her
dinner before dishing it up, came to
military erectness with . suddenness
that startled even her brother. Dis.
may, indignation, helplessness chased.
each other over her flushed face, as
with a gasp more expressive than
words, she confronted the author Of
her woe.

been busily mixing some creamy

ton. don't look 50 tragic; you'd

Wedding SuperstitiOns.

In spite Of all her sound good sense,
a German girl cherishes certain SUI
perstitions which she likes to observe
on her wedding day. For instance,
the moon must be increasing, neither
at the full nor on the wane, for wan
ing moon foretells that marriage, love
and luck will dwindle, while a full
moon denotes but stationary luck at
the best but waxing marriage moon
will bring an increase Of nuptial hap
piness. health and prosperity, says
Woman's Life.
Neither will any German bride, OF
whatever rank, wear pearls, for she
firmly believes in the forbidding old
adage, 1.-THE more pearls woman
wears upon her wedding day, the more
tears she sheds in after life" In the
Fatherland, too, If it rains upon the
bridal day, the bride will wisely look
upon the best side Of the matter, and
regards the glistening raindrops not
as her English sister does-as pro-
phetic Of tears, but showers Of bless
ings," while If she weeps at her mar
riage, she laughs after, saying she has
spent her tears beforehand, SO that
she will have none to shed in her new
home
