CHApTER ~

Matt. on quitting the presence of her
artist friend, walked rapidly along the
sand-incumbered road In the direction OF
the sea. Sklrting the lake upon the left
hand, and still having the ocean Of sand
hills upon her right, she gradually slack
ened her pace. A spectator, had he been
by, would have doubtless observed that me
change was owing to maiden meditation
that, In other words, Matt had fallen into
brown study.
Presently she sat down upon a conven-
lent stone, or piece of rock, and, resting
her elbows on her knees, her chin In her
hands, looked for some minutes at vacan-
cy. At last she rose. flushing warmly,
and murmuring something to herself. The
something was to this effect:
His hands are as white as a lady's.
when he pulls off those gloves, and he
said was as pretty as my picture"
l can only guess at the train of reason
ing which led te this soliloquy, and ex-
press my opinion that Matt had we'll de-
veloped ideas on the subject of the sexes.
True, she was not above sixteen, and had
little or no experience Of men, none at all
Of men who were both young and good
looking Nevertheless. she was not in
sensible Of the charms Of white hand
and other tokens Of masculine refinement
and beauty.
By natural seQuer e of ideas, she
was led TO stretch out her own right hand
and look at It critically. 1t was very
brown. and covered with huge golden
freckles. The inspecxion not being alto
gether satisfactory. she thrust both her
hands irritably into the pockets OF her
Jacket, and walked on.
Leaving the lake behind her, she fol-
lowed the road along a swampy hollow.
down which the very shallowest Of rivu-
lets crept along TO the sea, now losing
itself altogether in messy patches OF sus-
picious greenness, again emerging and
trickling with feeble glimmers over peb-
BILE and sand. Presently she left the road
and came upon primitive wooden bridge,
consisting of only one plank, supported
on two cairns Of stone. Here she paused,
and. seeing a red-legged sand piper run
ming about or the edge Of the water just
below her, made gesture like boys
throwing a stone. whereon the sand piper
sprang up chipping. and few along out OF
sight.
BY this time she was In full sight Of
the sea. Dead calm. and covered with
rain-colored shadows. it touched the edges
Of the fat sands about a mile away, and
left one long creamy line OF Ssangeless
foam The sands themselves stretched
away to the westward far as eye could
see. But 10 the left and eastward, that
is TO say, IN the direction toward which
she was going, there was long, ROCKY
promontory, with signs Of human habita-
ton. Breaking into . swinE-liks trot,

The charm Of woman lies not In
beauty, but individuality-if she could

Seventyfive bills on, the calendar Of
the Senate were passed Monday. The
consideration of these measures, most
of which we're of local character con-
sumed nearly the entire session.
Senator Foraker attempted to get

tute bin providing for court of IN
quiry TO pass upon the qualifications
of the discharged negro soldiers of the
Twenty-fifth Regiment, charged with
having shot up Brownsville Aug 1874.

for that purpose in order that Senator
McLaurin of Mississippi might speak
on the Brownsville affair Tuesday. The
Senate passed without amendment a
House bin declaring Feb. - the cen
tenary of the birth of Abraham Lin
coin, to be a legal holiday. Unless the
Senate comes TO their rescue the West
Point cadets will not be able TO attend
the Inauguration on the 4th of March

many years. BY a point OF order an
item providing i..nds for the trip was
stricken from the military apprsprla-

rules the House passed the Payne biz
prohibiting the Importation OF opium,
but refused TO pass the Senate bill to

Romance in a Printing Office.

Algona Courier: A recent incident
at Forest City is another evidence that
there can be love romances in print
shops as well as in other places. Miss
Mamie Anderson, daughter of j. E..
Anderson, an old time editor, had been
running the paper for some years past
and had improved it whole lot over
the style of the old man, and it
seems that a young travelling man of
ST. Paul named Edwin B. Foster, made
regular visits to Forest City and to
The Independent office, and it is fair
to presume that the fair young edi-
.tress patronized him and that he gave
her very good bargains. OF course the
natural thing occurred, and they were
married last week, and are now out in
the mountains enjoying their honey
moon. They will make their home at

wants to with his old paper.
