Levi placed a bid for the building of a school house located in Nottingham township. H is bid proved to be the lowest. However, the contract has not as yet been awarded.. Everet Banter was unfortunate. in the loss of one of his darft horse' on Tuesday. On returning from burying the carcxs it was found | that his other horse had also taken sick. Everet feels the loss greatly, j the more owing to the busy season j of the year. Regardless of the incleent weather ' last Friday the closing day of school No. three. D. A Baumgartner teacher, was encouraged with the presi nee of many of the patrons who were laden with a palpatable dinner which is not ignoretFon such occasions. Recitals and declamations were the order of the afternoon when the teacher presented each scholar with a photograph of the pilati il school building, embellished with a photograph of himself. But his token of regard was pleasantly counteracted when the pupils presented their modem Daniel with an < xpensive upparel designated shirt equipped with collar and sleeve buttons bearing the emblems of (kid Fellowship. This token of regard elevated Daniel three stories high and will carry school number three in pleasant remembrance through his declniingyears The joint commencement of the schools of Hartford and French townships was a success from every point of view. The program wat rendered minus a hitch or fault and rendered in the order named: Class March, Miss Tillie Schlag enhauf; song, qu irtette; invocation. Rev. E. C. Bierie; welcome. Miss Ifc-ssie Kindle; song, quartette: ‘ address, Rev.C. S. L -ster of Bluffton : song quartette; music. Misses Riller and Glcnna Bierie. class address. E. C.

Charles Schnepp. ; Tillie Schindler. Emma Warner. Eu4, gene Heller, Charles Baumgartner. .Mary Gmndliard and Glcnna Swayzie. The address by Rev. Lester was a master piece of oratory and his subject “See, Think and Act." was surely bread cast U]>on the waters and will have a benign influence on the mind during the life of the generous hearers. The addresses to the class by Superint<ndent Brandy berry and E. C. Runyon, including the valedictory, ■ by Miss Sbdle Liddy, were rich in advice and impressions which the 1 class will long remember while in 1 combat with life’s realties. Excursions.

Her enthusiastic fever of hope was really contagious, but Brandon, whose life was at stake, bad his wits quickened by the danger. “Mary, would you like to see me a corpse before tomorrow noon?” he ask ed. “XVhy. of course not! Why do you ask such a dreadful question?’ “Because, if you wish to make sure of it. do what you have just said-go to the king and tell him all. I doubt if be could wait till morning. I believe he would awaken me at midnight to put me to sleep forever—at the end of a rope or on a block pillow.” “Oh. no; you are all wrong. I know what I can do with Henry.” “If that is the case, I say goodby now. for I shall be out of England, if possible, by midnight. You must promise me that you will not only not go to the king at all aliout this matter, but that you will guard your tongue, jealous of Its slightest wort!, and remember with every breath that on your prudence hangs my life, which, I know, is dear to you. Do you promise? If you do not, I must fly. So you will lose me one way or the other If you tell the king—either by my flight or by my death.” “I promise.” said Mary, with drooping head, the embodiment of despair, all life and hope having left her again. After a few minutes her face brightened. and she nsked Brandon what ship he would sail in for New Spain, and whence “We sail in the Royal Hind from Bristol.” he replied. “How many go out in her. and are there any women?’ "No. no!” he returned. “No woman could make the trip. and. besides, on ships of that sort, half pirate, half merchant. they do not take women. The sailors are superstitious about it and will not sail with them. They say they bring bad luck—adverse winds, calms, storms, blackness, monsters from the deep and victorious foes." “The ignorant creatures!” cried Mary. Brandon continued. "There will be a hundred men if the captain can induce so many to enlist.” “How does one procure passage?” inquired Mary. "By enlisting with the captain, a man named Bradharst, at Bristol, where the : ship is dow lying. There Is where I enlisted by letter. But why do you ask?’ “Oh. I only wanted to know.” We talked awhile on various topics, but Mary always brought the conversation back to the same subject, the Royal Hind and New Spain. After asking many questions she sat in silence for a time and then abruptly broke into one of my sentences. She was always Interrupting me as if 1 were a parrot. “I have been thinking and have made up my mind what I will do. and you shall not dissuade me. I will go to New Spain with you. That will be glorious—far better than the humdrum life of sitting at home—and will solve the whole question." “But that would be Impossible, Mary." said Brandon. Into whose face this new evidence of her regard bad brought a brightening look; "utterly Impossible. To begin with, no woman could stand the voyage, hot even you, strong and vigorous as you are." “Ob. yes I can. and I will not allow you to stop me for that reason. I could bear any hardship better than tne torI ture of the last few weeks. In truth, j I cannot bear this at all. It is killing 1 me; so what would it be when you are " gone and 1 am the wife of Louis? I Think of that. Charles Brandon; think ' of that, when I am the wife of Louis. Even If the voyage kills mo, 1 might as will die one way as another, and : then 1 would Im> with you. where it were sweet to die.” And I had to sit there nnd listen to all this foolish talk! Brandon insisted: “But no women are going. As I told yon. they would not take one. Besides, bow could you eacaje? I win answer the first question you ever asked me. You are of ‘sufficient consideration about the : court’ for all your movements to at- < tract hotlie it i* impossible. We i must not think of It. It cannot be done. Why build up ho|>es only to be cast down?’ “Oh. but It can be done. Never doubt it I will go. not as a woman, but as a man. 1 have planned all the details while sitting here. Tomorrow I will send to Bristol a sum of money asking a separata room in the ship for a young nobleman who wishes to go to New Spain incognito, and will go aboard just before they sail. I will buy a man’s complete outfit nnd will practice being a man before you and Sir Edwin.” Here «tbe blushed so that I could nee the scarlet even in the gathering glooai. She continued: “As to my escape. I enn go to Windsor, and then perhaps on to Berkeley castle, over by Reading, where there will be no one to watch mo. You can leave at once, nnd there will l>e no cause for them to spy upon me when you are gone, so it can be done enslly enough. That la it. 1 will go to my sister, who Is now nt Berkeley castle, the other side of Reading, you know, and that will mnkc n aborter ride to Bristol when wo start" Tiio thought, of course, could not but olonse Brandon, to whom, in the

warmth or Mary s ardor, it naci almost begun to offer hope, and be said musinglv: "I wonder if it could be done? If It could-if we could rcndi New Spain, we might build ourselves a home in the beautiful green mountains and hide ourselves safely away from all the world, in the lap of some cozy valley, rich with nature’s bounteous gift of fruit and flowers, shaded from the hot sun and sheltered from the blasts, ond live in n little paradise all our own.

it is only a dream, and we Lua bettor awake from it!" Brandon must have been insane. "No. no! It Is not a dream." inter--upted downright determined Mary “It is not a dream. It shall lie a rrap My. How glorious it will be! I can see our little house now nestling among the bills, shaded by great spreading trees, with flowers and vines and golden fruit all about It, rich plumaged birds and gorgeous butterflies. Oh. 1 can hardly wait! Who would live i u a musty palace when one has within reach such a home, and that, too, with you?” Here it was again. I thought that Interview would be the death of me. Brandon held bis face in his hands and then, looking up, snld: "It is only a question of your happiness, and, bard ns the voyage and your life over there would be. yet I believe It would be better than life with Loui’ of France. Nothing could be so terrible as that to both of us. If you wish to go. I win try to take you, though I die In the attempt.
