WHEN LIBBY SMILED

BYE. r. MOON.

We all looked upon Libby Arliss -
an old maid, absurdly old, although
her age could not have been more
han thirty-fve. But after her mother
lied she ceased to go about much IN
our village society; and by the time
she was out of mourning she had set
lied down into lonely life in her lit
lie home. She had fine garden. and
We boys and girls used to steal her
pears and mock at her when she came
out and threatened US.
'T'd like to get even with Miss Libby
for being SO mad about our taking her
wormy old pears" said Steve Marks.
the bad boy" of the, village.
None of US liked Libby. She was
certainly as sour as those early Bart
let's that we used to take with the
more gusto because we knew that our
discovery. would let loose storm OF
imprecation on our heads. That was
how we came to concoct the love let
ter.
Why, we hit upon William Tabor
can't quite remember. The Tabors
had once been the most respected
family in our village. but William was
wild when he was young man and
went West, returning broken down In
health. a year or two before. think
some one suggested that he had been
Libby,s beau long before, when she
was a pretty girl In the wide-sleeved
gowns then in fashion. and did her
plentiful hair in a. jar handle. But
since he had come back he had never.
to our knowledge, visited! at Libby's
house, and IL he had done so village
gossip, would certainly have found II
out.
Three of the high school scholars
concocted the letter. 1t ran like this:
MY Dearest William:
May I-dare l. one whom the world
calls a. sour old maid, avow to you
something against which have fought
for, many months in vain? William,
love you! There, l. have avowed It.

We dropped these epistles into the
letter box and waited with bated

didn't know whom to watch, but final

two trails joined and struck out across
the desert And here he discovered
what he thought indisputable indica-
ton that the fright Of Jndith's horse
had persisted.
Abandoning Immediately all notion
of returning through the hills by the
ridge-srail. he turned and swung away
at the best pace he could spur from
his broncho, delivering himself into
the pitiless embrace of that implaca-
BILE wilderness of sun and sand.
AT long intervals he would check
the broncho and. Keeling in his saddle,
endeavor to sweep the desert with his
binoculars.
And toward the middle of the after
noon he fancied that something re-
warded one such effort; something
for an instant swan athwart the field
of the glasses: something that seemed
to move like weary horse with a
human figure bound to its back.
But now the phenomena were dis
cernible which, had he been more des-
ert wise, would have made him pause
and think before he ventured farther
from those hills, already beyond
reach as they we're.
His first appreciated warning came
when the surface of the desert seemed

injury that had been done her father;
and though the man himself had
laughed to scorn her first involuntary
confession of that love for him which
now consumed her being with its in

chagrin and followed him with the
solicitude of one whose love can recog-
nize no wrong In it's object. Through
all the remainder of that day Of terror
she was never far from his side.
With the meekness of the strong,
she made herself his shadow. And
she was now the stronger, for she had
had more than an hours rest beside
the waterhole, which he had missed
on the way Of that rocky windbreak.
Sooner or later his strength must fail
him and he would need her; till then
she was content to bide her hour.

STRANGE Scorpion Found.

A curious, strange specimen of liz
ard or scorpion was captured by Wal
ter T. Todd near the trolley station
of the Chambersburg, Greencastle e,
Waynesboro Street Railway company
at HighfieId, Pa. The reptile, or what
not, was about eight inches in length
and the color of brick dust. 1t was
found lying on the ground only few
feet from the station and, on account
of the rain and cool weather, was un-
able to use it's locomotive powers very
actively and was easily captured.
The reptile had an elongated body
without scales, four short legs and
short tail, and its body was almost as
tough as rubber. Where 1t came from
no one seems to know.
