poStman left letter in his box
It was the first he had received
for months, except bank notices
and bills. It was addressed to
him in delicate, feminine writ
ing, and inside he read:
Dear Friend: I got your let
ter, but you didn't say how you
liked the peaches
That was the beginning of a
correspondence, and it brought
new happiness into old Rogers
heart. He began to realize what
he had missed in The manner
merely of human intimacy during
all those years. He became con-
fdential, and Lucy answered him
in the same spirit. He told her
of his life, his plans, his dreams.
And promptly with the post came
Lucy's answer.
But one thing old Rogers had
not found courage to tell He had
not told her that he was fifty. For
he knew that the romance would
be shattered. People thought a
man of fifty could not love-the
fools! Old Rogers had never
been in love with much beyond
his schemes, but there was some
thing in the ingenious simplicity
and sweetness of the unknown
girl in Egan that lifted him above
the se1hshness of his aims and
life.
And as the letters increased,
and he found in this unknown
correspondent all that he had ever
hoped to find in any woman, he

ne HdQ asked ,IOr ner pnOLO-
graph, but she had not sent it,
nor alluded to the matter again.
And then old Rogers dared to
hope that she might be homely-
perhaps she was SCARED or MAIN
ed, so that he might after all take
her and shield her from the world
and its cruelty.
Slowly, very slowly, old Rog-
ers hammered out his purpose.
He was resolved to put all selfish
thoughts aside. He would let her
go, let the correspondence cease.
But when he came to die the girl
in Egan would find that she had .
fallen heir to all his money. And
he would work like mailman all
his days to accumulate a fortune
for her. So he ceased to answer
her.
She wrote less often. But one
day came a despairing note in
which she confessed something
perilously like love. And then
old Rogers knew that he had no
alternative. So he wrote back,
wild letter such as he would not
have been capable of year be-
fore, in which he told her. He
told her that he was an elderly
man, that he loved her with ali
his heart, but had not courage to
ask her to be his wife. And so
their correspondence must cease,
and because he had been a fool
and coward he would suffer in
remembering her all the rest of
his days.

Here are perhaps two OF the most
widely Known people in the world
Who Is there that has not heard all
about Tom Thumb and his wife ?
Most everyone of any age remembers
seeing them with the old Barnum cir
Gus. where they were always sur
rounded by a curious throng. Their
name has become a byword in nearly
every home and in rhyme and story
they have been pictured so long that
many have almost come to think of
them as mythical things. Tom Thumb
Is now dead. His wife, however, is
still living and is remarked to the
Count Magri, viii is shown with her
IN tho picture. The Count is a dwarf
almost exactly the same size as the
original Tom Thumb.
This picture was taken while they
were out for a little spin in one of
the famous friction driven Cartercar
automobiles. The photographer re.
quested them to pose for him and
they are seen standing up on the
seats, giving remarkable illustration
of their dimiuutive size. They are

indeed humorous to see tho little
Count sitting in the big car, his head
hardly showing above the steering
wheel At first he could not very well
run q car, as he was not strong
enough to crank the rotor, but now
with the seif-sf6Yter he can drive 40
well as any full sized person. Mrs.
Thumb, as she still prefers to be
called, was seventy years old last Oc-
tober. Many people will be surprised
to learn that she is still alive. She
has been on the stage many years,
since she quit showing for Mr.. Bar
mum. This last season, however, she
retired from all public appearances
and this popular idol of all classes OF
people will soon be seen on the stage
no more. A little fortune has been
laid away as the result of her re-
career and she and her royal
husband eniOv peaceful luxury.

Passing of the ToIIgate.

The passing today of the old toll
gate at the northern entrance to the
city Is well worthy of the fireworks,
oratory, and general jubilation which
1t has inspired. Strangers entering
Baltimore by the Reisterstown road
could hardly believe that this was
really a city of the fifth order, when
a village functionary had first to lift
a bar and demand their pennies be-
fore they were permitted to enter the
sacred metropolitan confines. The
good roads movement. so intelligently
urged and fostered by Governor
Crothers and the Democratic party,
has already done more to instill life
and enterprise and a new spirit into
the counties Of this state than all 9TH
er movements of recent years COM
bined. The passing of the old toll
gate Is symbolical of the new order
and the larger spirit of enterprise
and representations Sun.

~ The Colonial Shilling.

The value of the Colonial shilling
was gradually reduced from the Eng
fish standard as the result of per-
sistent coin slipping. AS early as
1912 Massachusetts raised the rating
of the Spanish dollar to 5s and Con-
necticut took similar action the fol-
lowing year. In 1916 Virginia raised
the rating of the dollar to 6s.
In 1862 Massachusetts, established
a mint and began to coin shillings
that were 22h per cent. higher than
the sterling standard. In 1853 the
Spanish dollar. weighing approximate
ly IL pennyweights, was rated at 6s
Cd, while Pennsylvania valued it
at rs.
The consequence of these vari-
ations in the colonies was that In
1907 parliament passed an act pro-
viding that the Spanish piece of 8
reals dollar should not be valued
at more than IS, but Bullock tells us
in his Monetary History of the
United States" that this law was al
most universally ignored.
Finally New York and North Caro-
lima settled upon rating of Ss to the
dollar, and this valuation was gradu-
ally accepted and retained until our
national monetary system was estab-
lished. g

A NEW SOCIETY.

The ladies of ST. Mary's Church
held meeting at their hall last
Thursday for the purpose Of organ
izing the Woman's Seminarian Auxil-
iary of St. Mary's Church. The object
of this society is to aid the Bishop of
Virginia in raising funds, to meet the
necessary expenses of educating
young priests, there being great de-
mand for pastors in the State, one
priest in many cases having charge
of two or three parishes. There was
quite large attendance, all present
became life members, and officers were
elected; SO much enthusiasm was
shown that they hope by the next
meeting in June that the membership
will be doubled.
