two older men went out leaving New
bold alone.
"But l don't quite understand" quer-
led Mr.. Stephan Maitland.
He heard soft step on the stair
in the hall without; the gentle swish
of a dress as somebody descended
from the floor above. A vision ap-
peared in the doorway. Without
movement in opposition, without a
word of remonstrance. without throb
Of hesitation on her part, he took her
in his arms. From the drawing-room
opposite, Mr. Robert Maitland softly
tiptoed across the hall and closed the
library door, neither of the lovers be-
ing aware of his action.
Often and often they had longed for
each other on the opposite side of
door, and now at last the woman was
in the mans arms and no door rose
between them, no barrier kept them
apart any longer. There was no oDl1-
cation of loyalty or honor, real or Inn
agined, to separate them now. They
had drunk deep Of the chalice OF cour-
age, they had drained the cup to the
very bottom, they had shown each
other that though love was the great
est of passions, honor and loyalty were
the most powerful of forces, and now
they reaped the reward OF their abne-
cation and devotion.
At last the woman gave herself up
to him in complete and entire aban-
donment without fear and without re-
preach; and at last the man took what
was his own without the shadow OF
a reservation. She shrank from no
pressure Of his arms, she turned her
face away from no touch OF his lips.
They two had proved their right to
surrender by their ability to conquer.
Speech was hardly necessary be-
tween them and it was not for long
time that coherent words came. Little
murmurs Of endearment, little pas
sionatc whispers of beloved name
these were enough then.
When he could find strength to deny
himself little and to hold Der at
arms length and look at her, he found
her paler, thinner and more delicate
than when he had seen her in the
mountains She had on some witching
creation of pale blue and silver; he
didn't know what it was; he didn't
care-it made her only more like an
angel to him than ever. She found
him, too. greatly changed and highly
approved the alterations in his APP
pearance.

Where the Gray Hairs Came From.


The attitude of the commanding gen,
erals of the north and south toward
each other, after the final surrender,
writes Mr.. Thomas Nelson Page in
his recent book on General Lee, 1s
one that the world regarded with as
constituent, and that Americans may
forever look back upon with pride. In
illustration, Mr.. Page offers an engag-
ing anecdote from Longs memoir OF
Lee.
: It appears that on the afternoon OF
the day Of the surrender at Appomat-
;tox, Meads paid friendly visit to
Lee at his headquarters. In the
course Of the conversation, Lee turned
to Meade, who had been associated
with him as his officer Of engineers in
the "old army" and said, pleasantly:
Meade, years are telling on you.
Your hair is getting quite gray"
ssAh, General Lee" was Meade's
prompt reply, that is not the work OF
years. You are responsible for my
gray hairs

clear eyed, vigorous man who was at
present suing for his daughters hand.
Newbold had shaved off his beard and
had cropped close his mustache: he
was dressed in the habits of civiliza-
ton and he was almost metam-
orphosed. His shyness wore away as
he talked and his inherited ease of
manner and his birthright Of good
breeding came back 70 him and sat
easily upon him.
Under the circumstances the very
best thing that could happen would
be a marriage between the two, In
deed to be quite honest, Mr. Stephen
Maitland would have felt that perhaps
under any circumstances his daughter
could do no better than commit her
self to a man like this.

Steve" said Mr.. Robert Maitland,
as the other hesitated, not because he
intended to refuse, but because he was
loath to say the word that so far as
he was concerned would give his
daughter into another mans keeping,
Il think you can trust Newbold: there
are men who knew him years ago;
there is abundant evidence and testi-
mony as to his qualities, vouch for

POINTERS FOR THE MOTORIST.
How Tires Should BE Washed.

At this season of the year when
roads, in consequence of spring show
ers, are often muddy, most motor cars
are coming i'm for their share Of wash
ing.
Washing tires and washing a car
are two different propositions, says
the Michelin tire expert. Water alone
should be used to wash tires and AZ
little OF it as necessary. After every
run the envelope should be wiped
clean with damp sponge or we'll
Wrung cloth.
"a common mistake made by motor
lists is to mix kerosene with water.
This may be advisable when washing
tthe body of car to remove mud and
dust from the varnish, but il should
never be done when washing tires
because kerosene eats rubber. This
fact can be readily proved by immers-
ing a small piece of rubber in kero-
sene and allowing it to soak. The rubber
will soon swell and lose it, elasticity
The reason for this ID apparent. Kero-
sene is rich in fatty properties which
remain after the evaporation OF the
gases. Every time a tire is washed
with a kerosene mixture the rubber
IL deprived Of more on it, strength
When washing tires it is best simp-
" to dampen sponge with clean wat
er, care being taken that the sponge
il not soaked and dripping. Then
wipe the tires dry with q cloth or
handful OF waste.

tire question are fully covered in the

Death Recalls Pretty Romance,

Information was received in this
city last Saturday OF the death OF
Mrs. Alexander "A. O.. Klaucke, a ma
tive Of this county, at her home in
Weisbaden, Germany, on April 9th, an
event which calls to the minds OF
some Of the elderly residents off the
county, an interesting romance 10
connection with her marriage to Mr.
Klaucke. Mrs. Klaucke's maiden
name was Mary Freeze, and she was
related to some of the leading people
OF this county.
In the summer of 1863 she was
visiting her aunt, Mrs. Joshua Smith.
mother of the late Judge John F.
Smith, on East Main street, this city
when the Sixth Corps Of the United
States Army passed through here on
it's way to Gettysburg. Two officers
of the corps, one of whom was Mr.
Klaucke, halted at the Smith resi-
denca and asked for water to quench
their thirst, and it was Miss Freeze
who handed a glass of water to the
man who afterward became her hus-
band. As it was the dinner hour, Mrs
Smith Hospitality invited the officers
To dine with her family, an invitation
which was accepted with alacrity, es-
pecially by Mr. Klaucke, who had
promptly fallen in love with the pref
ty maiden from whose hand he had
received the water. The sequel prov
ed that the admiration Of the officer
was reciprocated, and ere he resumed
his march he had won Miss Freeze
Though it was a case Of love at frst
sight. the lovers were faithful, AND
soon after the close of the Civil Wal
they were married in Ascension Epis-
copal Church, this city, by Rev. DR.
James w. Reese.
MIR. Klaucke was for time gov
eminent official in one Of the depart
ments at Washington, but soon afte1
his marriage resigned and with his
American bride sailed for his home
i'm Germany Tit had then transpired
that a. was a gentleman Of wealth
and noble family, one of his near
relatives having married German
princess. He lived but few years
and died childless.
Devoted to her husbands memory
Mrs Klaucke made her permanent
home in Weisbaden, where she was
near his grave. She occasionally Wis
tied her relatives here and always
kept herself well posted in local af-
fairs in this county by corTespon-
dence and by subscribing for a coun-
ty newspaper.
