That Sunday had been one Of Miss
Lettice Penfelds lugubrious days
when the whole world was CARRIED in
a dark dismal blue. She had looked
up from her melancholy book Of SER
mons to discover her niece, Susannah
smiling radiantly at Martin Wayne's
portrait in its shrinelike frame on the
bookcase. Susannah had the grace to
blush rosily as her eyes met Aunt Let.
tees dispirited glance.
Isn't he handsome, Aunt Letticer'
she asked daringly.
Handsome is as handsome does
quoted Miss Penf1eld gloomily. Some
times l have qualms regarding your
future happiness. Marriage is such a
'em is going to turn out. Sometimes 1t
seems as if when there's the most rea-
son TO expect happiness there comes
the most misery. And 1t doesn't do for
a girl to trust herself to a man just be-
cause he is handsome"
Seems as if I'd heard something of
that sort before" Susannah said
scornfully. Aunt Lettice, I've always
noticed that you have Qualms about
everything on Sunday afternoons, new
er any other time unless it's rainy
day. 1 do believe it's that horrid
book of sermons all about everlasting
torment and so forth. Now, I'm going
to prescribe a cure for your melan-
cholia-there"
Miss Penfield gasped as Susannah
leaned forward, caught the book of
sermons from her hand and tossed it
page downward into the glowing CRATE
fire. The flames nickered up, and the
ancient and brittle pages curled into
charred fragments. The old sheep
skin binding sent a black pillar OF
smoke up the chimney, while it smell
ed horrible.
"Susannah Penfield," cried her aunt
Indignantly, ''see what you have done!
That book belonged to my GRANDPA
Their. You know how have cherished
it You are lacking in respect to me
and to your forbears." Miss Penfield
Roman nose and sailed majestically
toward the door.
Susannah was genuinely penitent
and rather frightened at her own rash
deed. but Aunt Lettuce was always so
exaspera ting on Sunday afternoons
and there had been so many Sundays
since Susannah had come to live with
her an orphaned and penniless little
girl
81 am so sorry, Aunt Lettice." cried
Susannah remorsefully. Il wish
could undo that mischievous deed"
81 must expect ingratitude from you,
Susannah. 1t IS ever thus WREN one
performs an act of benevolence. /
have always tried to do my duty by
you ever since you came to me poor
and friendless. and now you turn and
bite the hand that has caresSed you"
Susannah arose and stood before her
aunt, her pretty cheeks pale as white
roses, her gray eyes dilated until they
merged into black.
Aunt Lettuce. what are you say

done. 1 have been grateful for your
kindness-I have tried TO be as
daughter to you. and now
Merely because / suggested that
your future life with Martin Wayne

Miss Penfeld in monotonous COM

it when I saw Martin paying so much
attention to that rich Miss Fearing

o'conneIps Wonderful oratory.

Daniel O'Connell, the Irish orator,
spoke in Covent Garden. London. many
years ago, and John Coleman. an old
English actor, pictured him as fol-
lows: THE audience hung spelbound
on the words of the great orator His
resonant and magnificent voice, flavor
ed with its rich Hibernian accent,
held both soul and sense captive AS
for me, my Celtic blood took fire. my
heart throbbed with passionate indig-
nation or melted into tears as he
dwelt upon the wrongs of my beloved
country. Never, surely, was such
born orator! Stern men cried one
moment and laughed the next. Strange
to say, they never laughed in the
wrong place, though once at least he
afforded them a unique opportunity.
AS he approached the end Of his ora
ton, carried away by his theme, he
took his wig off "a brown Jazey) put
it in his hat and mopped his beauti-
full bald brow with a great flaming
crimson bandanna. The action ap-
peared so natural and appropriate
that no one seemed to think it absurd
or even incongruous."

When ParasoIs Began.

Parasols when they first came into
use must have been cumbersome.
Henri Estienne, writing in 1913,
speaks Of a parasol as capable gener-
ally of sheltering four persons from
the sun. and Then they diminished
IN circumference the material still re-
manned of the heaviest. Red velvet
parasols, with heavy gold fringes.
were carried by ladies of fashion in
the days of Louis XIV. At that time
1t was possible when crossing bridge
in Paris to hire a parasol at one end
and deposit it at the other, the charge
for the accommodation being a sou.
Under the regency fashion went to
the other extreme. Mems parasols
folded into the shape of three cor
nered Lat and could thus be carried
elegantly under the arm. Ladies par
asols were hinged, so that they could
slip into the pocket, for ladies had
pockets then.-London Spectator.

Defining a Boundary Line.

In 1S47 Rufus Choate appeared in
behalf of parties whose rights were
affected by the boundary line between
Massachusetts and Rhode Island, thus
described in the agreement:
Beginning" ETC., thence to an an
gle on the easterly side Of Watuppa
pond thence across said pond to the
two rocks on the westerly side of said
pond and near thereto, thence wester-
ly to the buttonwood tree in the vii
lage of Fall River"
In his argument, commenting on the
boundary, Mr.. Choate thus referred to
this part of the description: "a bound
airy line between two sovereign states
described by couple Of stones near
q pond and a buttonwood sapling in a

we'll have defined it as starting from
a blue jay, thence to swarm of bees

PECK'S SUIT IS SETTLED
Redding Case Terminates When
Defendant Pays the
Bill

Redding. Feb. 1.-THE suit brought by
Lester o. Peck of this town against
Charles Tarlov OF Norwalk. to recover
on a SIS check, was settled out Of court
on Tuesday, by the defendant paying
the amount of the check protest
charges and court fees. The case has
been pending in the court OF Common
Pleas at Bridgeport since last fall.
and was the outcome Of a horse trans
action between Abe Tarlov, brother OF
the defendant. and John Muennich OF
Redding Ridge. Tarlov bought a
horse OF Muennich for $3.50 and paid
with his brothers ,$75 check. receiving
the balance Of $3.50 in cash. A few
days afterwards Muennich found the
horse back in his barn and promptly
returned it to Muenn3ch in Norwalk.
at the Ridge with the horse and on
threw down the $3.50 and hitched the
horse to nearby telegraph pole on
the highway.
That evening Humane Agent Warner
took charge Of the animal and several
weeks later sold it to reimburse HIM
self for the cost OF its keeping. The
check had meanwhile passed from
Buennich to Peck and when Charles
Tarloy stopped payment upon It Mr..
Peck sued to recover. The net result
is a loss to the Tarlovs Of the horse,
the amount of the check and court
costs amounting in all to fully 500,
and the charges OF their losses. So
far they are also out the $3.50 which
Abe Tarlov threw back to Muennich.

many died in babyhood is a pitiful
