 The next evening when he called Lucy told him that she had some let ters to write, and he must excuse her from spending the evening with him. Ben was disappointed. He thought the letter writing might be put off. But Lucy did not offer to do so. Indeed that her bosom friend, a girl of her own age, was to arrive at 3:20 the next morning and would he mind meeting her at the station? What could he do? Just engaged and all his proffers of lifelong devotion still warm, he con- sented The hour was not a conven- tent one either to get sleep before or after the duty to be performed. He sat up till 3-alone after 11-escorted the visitor two miles across the city, and when he got home it was too late to go to bed.
 He was prevented from making up his sleep the next night by sum- mons from his fiancee. Her mother was ill Lucy must devote herself to her, and there was no one to entertain her friend. The girl was very reli- gious and wished to go to prayer meeting. Would "the dear, good boy" take her and on returning entertain her till after midnight?

Ben submitted ungracefully. took the friend to the prayer meeting and was insufferably bored with her till Il o'clock, when she went to bed. He remained alone in the drawing room till 2:45 in the morning, when the father arrived, his train having been late. Lucy came down to kiss Ben good night.

 never knew whether Lucy asked her friend to visit her especially to use her in her tests or not, but she found her friend indeed. For a week the mother remained ill-so Lucy said and Ben was made to wait on a wo- man who bored him, escorting her to places he detested and at hours most inconvenient for him. Then she took a midnight train, and he saw her to the station. He had promised Lucy that he would be in line at the box of flee of theater to get tickets for an immensely popular play at an early hour in the morning, and between the two duties he got but four hours sleep.
 The next evening Ben, his injuries rankling in his bosom, called on his fiancee, threw the tickets on a table and-well, it was a muffled explosion, something like firecrackers shut up in a barrel.

 Ben came to me and told me what an escape he had made. l didn't say anything just then, but in a few days, when I found he was about ready to commit suicide, confessed that I had suggested to Lucy that she had better test him and advised him to ask her to give him another trial.

 Ben Huston could dive deeper into than any man ever knew. He had theory for everything and proved or disproved his theories by experiments.
 When Huston became engaged he determined to test the good nature of the girl he was to marry. He would do things to ruffle her temper If she showed self control he would complete the contract; if she gave way before his prodding it would indicate that she had not the equanimity necessary to bear the greater irritating trials of married life, and he would break the engagement.
 Now, l am bit of an experimenter myself-that is, when 1 can experiment on others. The failures of my acquaint- ances do not distress me nearly so much as my own. Ben and I were bosom friends. Lucy Benedict. his fiancee, was my own cousin. Ben con- fided to me that he was about to ap- ply his test to Lucy It occurred to me that here was fine chance for an exhibition of two people applying the same test to each other. 1 went to Lucy and told her that the only fear I had for her happiness with Ben was his temper and advised her before marrying him to make sure I was mis- taken. She said she would.
 In nine cases out of ten this story would be a description of thunder storm. It would have been so in this case had not Lucy been girl of re- markable self control. It was natural Tor her to bend gracefully before the squalls of life. and she had the forti- tude to stand up under the cyclone.

of 328 Pensioners.

The report Of the Confederate
Pension Board, which has been
submitted to Comptroller Frank
Dibrell, shows that So old soldiers
died during the quarter ending
June 30 and that 25 widows of SOL
diers have passed away.
Six pensioners have been sent to
the Old Soldiers Home, and 12
have left the State and have had
their pensions cancelled. -Four
widows of soldiers have married
during the quarter and 2 have left
the State losing their pensions.
The report shows that 166 names
have been added to the list of fourth
class pensioners and 158 widows
have been added to the roll. Four
names have been restored to the
roll, making a total Of 1928 new
pensioners.
The heavy increase of the pen
sion roll is due to an act of the last
General Assembly, which made a
liberal appropriation orpensions.
Tennessee is doing her part nobly
in providing for the old and Grip
pied Confederates and the widows
of Confederates.
