rice, surreptitious old shoes to bs i flung for good luck. There was @ great deal of handshaking and kiss ing and some tears, a swift departure attended by great commOtion, the slamming of a carriage door and there was Jimmy alone in the dark ness of the side piazza blowing his nose very hard and trying to imagine what 1t would be like to carry off Julia as his sister was just then being carried off.
 When a fellow feels like that. of course, there is nothing to do but light a cigar and smoke it, if he can be left in peace long enough. Jimmy struck the match and as the light fared up he saw thing of pinkness and ineffable fragrance close beside him.
 Jimmy" said that dearest voice in the world, what are you doing way off here by yourself?"
 Jimmy started and dropped the match! Right upon her chiffon skirt. She gave a little cry and stood per- fectly still, while he grasped at the spark which threatened to become a dangerous flame, and extinguished 1t. It was an excruciating moment for nim, but Julia laughed
 Suppose you had burned me up?" she said.
 'Oh, Julia," he gasped. 'Im just a clumsy, careless brute! I don't wonder you don't like me-"
 "But-but do like you" she ad- nttted. "I like you very much, Jimmy-dear."
 "Oh. Julia," he gasped again. And then somehow, because she was 30 near and did not seem exactly un- willing, he put his arms about her. T love you, daring," he breathed against her cheek
 Now, isn't that funny" she whispered. "I love you, too."
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-09-05

It was a good dinner. Aunt Maria had seen to that But it was eaten hurriedly-there was so little time until o'clock. Afterward everyone ran of to dress.
 Jimmy had new clothes, but he donned them without enthusiasm. What did it matter how well he looked when the best man would look so much better7
 After a long time-Jimmy never knew how long or how he got there he found himself in the front par Tor with Aunt Maria and his father and mother, staring at a distant doorway, while the notes of the we'd ding march throbbed in ecstatic an- ticipation. There was a pemonitory rustic, a long-drawn breath, and they were coming.
 Every eye turned to the bride, a fairy figure, appropriately garbed in satin and yelled in tulle, but Jimmy saw only Julia. Her eyes were down cast, her cheeks as pink as the great shower bouquet dropping from her meek little hands. Something caught in his throat and threatened to choke him. As in a dream, he heard the old minister mumbling the words of the marriage service-saw the ring put on-then it was all over and everybody was laughing and talking all at once. Getting married was not such a terrible ordeal after all.
 In the dining room a little later Jimmy sat among the others staring, while hH sister tremulously slashed at a big cake very white on the out side and very black within. Toasts were drunk and a great many nice things said. Then Ada was whisked away upstairs to don her going-away gown.
 When she came down everybody was waiting on the porch or in the hall. There were concealed bags of

 Yes, taken all in all, she was quite perfect in training and figure and stage presence. And her dress why. it was Parisian to the last de- gree and, therefore. perfect. too. She had chosen 1t because she had al- ways had a fondness for pink-and she remembered that he had. too.
 Certainly she had thought of him She had meant from the first 10 show him that she could succeed, that her voice was worth something. She had never quite forgiven him what he had said that night two years ago, when she had told him that she was going abroad to study.
 Don't do 1t. Maude," he had said. You haven't voice enough"
 He had said 1t in those very words And he was the only one who had every said 1t. Everybody else had praised her to the sBies-her mother and her dearest friends and her teachers. They must know better than he did.
 Yet she could never get those words of his out of her mind. And his way of saying them! He was al ways so deadly in earnest about ev- erything. Especially about that How angry she had beeni
 ''l'll show yOu!" she had flung back at him as she struggled to keep the tears from her eyes.
 During those two years of study that determination of hers had been ever present, "I'H show him!" It had driven her to do painstakingly, all the drudgery demanded of her. It had kept her on her feet under the exacting eyes of the famous maestro, who had been ooaxed to accept her as his pupil, when she was ready to fall down with fatigue.
 And now she had learned all there

 Yes, he was handsome. Poor Jim my saw that. And he seemed to have at once singled Julia out for his special favor. In that terrible moment wherein he realized these things, Jimmy could think of noth- ing more desirable than to drop dead at the feet of his cruel love.

 Between that appearance and her next upon the programme she could not sit still, but walked about rest lessly. She knew very well what her mother thought-that she had never done so well in her life. And Uncle James-that she had gwen him good

But, instead of dropping dead, he lived, apparently with composure and success, for he accepted his intro auctions creditably, said as much as was necessary, and even managed to smile once or twice. But he was glad when the early dinner was an- nounced even though the best man led Julia to the table.

 He Jagged home drearily. As he approached the house he heard a gale of laughter and conversation. His natural diffidence overcame him and he sneaked around to the back door, intending to escape quietly to his room. But, alas. his Aunt Maria stood there with her glasses on, scru- tinizing a dish of Icing that did not seem to be hardening as rapidly as it should.

Die he notice that her gown was pink? Or dream of its meaning? She wondered a great many things as she stood waiting for the applause to end so that she could sing. She felt eager to sing She felt capable of doing her best.
 Her voice had never been better and the aria she had chosen was sure to please. An, there was the keynote,

 After all, 1t was really to him she was singing. It was his approval alone that she sought. She had worked hard to show him that she could sing. And now she was show ing him.

GRUESOME FIND OF BODY OF HAUGEN IS
 FOUND ON THE TRAIL
(Alaska Citizen, Feb. 1.)

Perhaps never in the annals of the Northland has a more gruesOme tale been told that the one concern ing the finding of the body of E. M. Haugen on the trail between Long Creek and the North Fork of the In noko river. The news of the finding of the body was received in a recenc letter from the lower river city.
 It will be remembered that Haul gen and Vincent Kaucheck, partners, were on their way to Ruby from Grip pie Creek, which place they left on December 9th, last. This was dur ing the extreme cold spell in tho country adjacent to Ruby. In mak- ing the trip from Cripple the men in some manner were compelled to "siwash" it for couple of nights. Kaucheck feet became frozen and he struck out ahead of Haugen to find a cabin or some other refuge. That was the last seen of Haugen until during the middle of January, when his remains were found. kau- check was later picked up by a party
 
 of miners and brought to Long City and later sent to Fort Gibbon.
 On hearing of the condition of Hau gen a searching party at once set out and instituted a vigorous search for the missing man. Owing to the extreme cold it was foregone con clusion that he had perished, as his food supply was low and bedding scarce. The search was continued for many days and the efforts of the party were rewarded by coming onto both the remains of the man and his faithful dog, which had remained at his side even in death. Instead of the frozen body the party found nothing but the skeleton of the man, scarcely thirty pounds in weight, and that badly dismembered. The dog, gaunt and thin and on the verge of starvation, had devoured the corpse of his master to sustain it's life.
 Mortified, the searching party gath cred up what remained of Haugen and brought it to Long, where it was given the last rites of the Northern CT. The deceased before his death had worked all Summer for Strand berg on Flat, and had received no pay for his services.

H. A. Herschleb, has sold out his
lot, building and bakery outfit and
stock to his son, Captain Wilbur Hers
chleb, who has been helping his father
for several years. The transfer took

has built up large business. On ac-
count of advancing age he feels that

successor to his father. He knows the
trade and intends to enlarge and
spread out as time passes. For this
purpose he will install new devices for
the better handling of the business.
