] thought Of her on my way home as
the train sped through the green open
country and the little villages scatter
ed along the line. And have thought
Of her many times since, especially
during the past month. She appeared
before me, in my minds eye, like a
blessed vision two weeks ago at the
music festival and again at the dra-
matte recital last Wednesday.
But, strange TO relate. a cowardly
suspicion is creeping into my mind. |
am powerless to resist il. ! am be-
ginning TO wonder If she was really
what she seemed to be. Could
reasonably expect TO meet a woman
like her even in a world so full of
wonders as this And yet the Lord
moves in mysterious way, and il is
possible that He selected me to be the
discoverer Of this pearl of great price.
But | confess that in my abject spirit
| am doubling. Every day grow
more skeptical. lhate to think | was
fooled, but | am beginning to believe
it, ! am constantly haunted by the
thought of what | might have discov-
cred if had pursued my inquiries
further. ! now realize that | left
many questions unasked What those
questions might have revealed shud-
der to imagine. Perhaps she had a
secret ambition nursed from childhood |
some mad longing which, if unfulfilled
would in time, like the worm in the
bud feed on her damask cheek. As to
the nature of that longing | can only
surmise. Perhaps she aspired to be
a gypsy or a snake charmer or a
bareback rider in a circus. Who can
ell?

AN EMERSON PIANO FOR s275

Did you ever hear of Emerson
pianos being sold at such a ridiculously
low price? OF course yon never did
because its just another sample Of our
price slashing campaign. We always
sold this piano for $500, but for the
month of March only we will sell you
a new Emerson piano shipped direct
from the factory, style "a in either
fancy mahogany, fancy walnut, or oak
case for $275 including stool and scarf
on payments of $40 down and SIS per
month. Here is a piano that everyone
knows to be strictly first class, and the
Emerson Piano Company have been
making pianos since 1849, and yet this
month you can purchase it at q less
price than you would pay for an
ordinary piano. If you are thinking
of buying piano send for an Emerson

and Burton Academy in his native
town and then, following a period Of
teaching in the same Academy he
entered Middlebury College, VT, from
which institution he was graduated
with honors in June, 1860, taking the

1t was natural with The great inter-
Inecine conflict then raging in this
country that he should enter the army
where he served as Quartermaster
Sergeant and was present at the battle
of Gettysburg, Following his dis
charge from the army he turned his
attention to teaching, accepting the
position Of principal Of the schools at
Constantine, Michigan, where he re-
NAMED for nearly two years. In the
vacation intervening he returned TO
Vermont and was there married at
Dorset on August Is, 1864 to Miss
Julia L. Sykes, who accompanied him
to Michigan and in April, 1866, TO the
city Of Sparta, where they have since
resided continuously, living for 90 Of
the 40 years they have been in this
city in the residence on North Water
street.
Singularly happy and well mated,
their life together has been bene-
liction to the church and community
and many good things have had their
origin in their hearts and home. Last
August they observed in fitting way,
With their loved ones a,d friends
around them, the 50th anniversary Of
heir marriage and all hearts grew
,oung as stories Of that long ago
were retold
Two children came to enrich their
owe and brighten their home, one Of

lotten Of Chicago, remains, with her
hree stalwart sons and the husband

The year following his arrival in
his city Mr.. Richardson was admitted
} the bar and later served a term
District Attorney but gradually
ithdrew from active practice Of law
nd entered the bank Of M. A. Thayer
Co., where he remained until 1893.
nee then he has maintained an Office
,wn town for the transaction Of the
,rious matters Of business which oc-
pied him.
While still a student in Middlcbury
