had much admired-there was a
mischievous glance at Vernon,

Not a word was said of Jem,

Vernon followed her from the room,

one Of her most freaicish tea-gowns.
Wei, this is pleasant she said
brightly. How is my waif and wan
derer? You have found your harbor,
have you not?'
She spoke to Vernon with a caress-
ing familiarity which the girl re-
sented. And she saw that the lady
produced, upon her aunt, just the
same feeling of raised bristles which
she herself experienced. II was hard
to say Just what it was that one
resented in Laura Trent. She was
not common woman aping the
manners of class beyond her
Voice. language, and movements all
belonged to the well-born, in spite
of her absurd clothes. Mrs. Bards-
lev was a person of sense and eX-
perience. The more she looked at
this woman. the less she liked her,
and the more she wondered where
such a man as Dan Trent had pick
ed her up, and why she had mar
ried him.
She look the conversation into
her own hands, and explained to
Mrs. Bardsley that she had been
too busy during the winter, trying
to get her house into order, ito be
able TO think OF social duties, but
that she now hoped to do better.
Her husband had given her a motor,
and she should be able TO get about,
as with the coming of spring the
roads seemed likely to become pas
sable, boon she had not dared to
hope for during the terrible winter.
The maid brought in a very elab-
crate tea, and they talked laborious-
" on, the good temper OF Mrs. Trent
remaining apparently impervous to
snubs. She wondered what could he

which seemed so scattered, togeth-

She had no experience in such mat
ters. Mrs. Trent supposed the Um'

Mrs. Trent wondered whether. if
she fetched Mrs. Bardsley in her
motor, she would take her to call
upon Selma UmfraNlle Mrs. Bards
ley thought Miss Umiraville would
prefer to call upon Mrs. Trent first
Mrs. Trent asked, IN tones Of inno-
cent surprise. whether these hard
and fast rules were still in exist

the provinces, people were now ac-
cep'ed for what they were, more
than who they were.
Mrs Bardsley said that she hoped

who blessed
Each, all, are away to their dwellings
OF rest.
The maid on whose cheek, on whose
brow, in whose eye,
Shone beauty and pleasure-her tr''
umphs are by;
And the memory of those that beloved
her and praised,
Are alike from the minds of the liv-
ing erased.
The hand of the king that the seeptec
hath borne;
The brow of the priest that the mite
hath worn;
The eye of the sage and the heart Of
the brave,
Are hidden and lost in the depths Of
the grave.
The peasant, whose lot was to SOW
and to reap;
The herdsman, who cliT bed v ith mis-
goats up the stesp.
The beggar, who wandered in search
of his bread,
Have faded away like the grass that
we tread.
The saint that enjoyed the commur-
ion of heaven;
The sinner that dared to remain un-
forgiven;
The wise and the foolish, the guilty
and just,
Have quietly mingled their bones in
the dust.
So the multitude goes, like the flower
of the weed,
That withers away to let others sue
coed;
So the multitude comes, even those
we behold,
To repeat every tale that has often
been told.
For we are the same as our fathers
have been;
We see the same sights that our
fathers have seen;
We drink the same stream and view
the same sun,
And run the same course our fathers
have run.
The thoughts We are thinking our ia
theirs would think;
From the death we are shrinking our
fathers would shrink;
To the life we are clinging they also
would cling;
But it speeds for us all, like a bird
on the wing.
They loved, but the story we cannot
unfold;
They scorned, but the heart of the
naughty is cold;
lney grleVed, but no wall from the
slumber will come;
They joyed, but the tongue of their
gladness is dumb
They died-ay. they died. We things
that are now,
That walk on the turf that lies over
their brow,
And make in their dwellings a tran
sient abode,
Meet the things that they met on
their pilgrim road.
Yes, hope and despondency, pleasure
and pain,
We mingle together in sunshine and
rain;
And the smile and the tear, the song
and the dirge,
Still follow each other, the surge up
on surge.
'Tis the wink of an eye, It's the
draught of a breath,
From the blossom of health to the
paleness of death,
From the gilded saloon to the bier
and the shroud,
oh, why should the spirit of mortal
be proud?

caused the delay, the conductor Of
that train having been left behind

and away the train went without
conductor. The conductor, finding
himself without train, used the
telephone and the train was stopped
twelve miles out OF Moundsville, A
freight engine was pressed into SER
vice to convey the belated conductor
to his train and all this caused a
delay OF thirty-flve minutes. The
Short Line waited for the delayed
connection and that made It thirty
five minutes late, too. 1t is said
that the Ohio river conductor said

THE FREE SEWING MACHINE.

This popular sewing machine is
creating such a commotion among
dealers that many who handle other
machines are making unfair and un-
truthful statements concerning the
Free.
The Free sewing machine has never
been sold in Perrysburg township un-
til the agency was taken by C. F.
Rider of Lime City.
The Free is sold on a positive guar
antee which does not expire in one
year, but continues during the life of
the machine.
1t is sold for less money and on
easier terms than any other machine
on the market.
AS practical demonstration of
the excellent qualities of the machine
and proof of every claim made by
the company, C. F. Rider offers to
place a machine in any home in the
county on cash payment of one dol
lar and weekly payment of one dol
lar until the machine is paid for.
Nothing could be more fair or more
positive proof of the company's faith
in the machine they sell. See ad. in
another column.
