"It is a hard will," he went on. "and of th reasons which Vd your husband to make It I know nothing. Let me advise you

to consider the matter from all points De

consult your friends?"

Gorgf Fielden had judpred rightly; he ftruck his wife through her Fon. For her own ake she never would have consented, but for her boy that was a different mat

ter. "I will take your advice." she said.

She had many friends, but few to whom

2he could go in such a case as this. She lecMed to consult two only Mr. Barton,

the family solicitor, and Robert Hume hlra

Ulf. lioth were Indignant at the condition.

How can I possibly advise you?" said

Hume. Mr. Barton, an old man who had come to Jiave a fatherly feeling for many of his clien, was of a jiractical turn of mind. Love was to him no more than a clrcumFtance which often occasioned legal proreedii.gs, and was, therefore, to be treated vlth cool, legal Judgment. "There is no time for long considerations" he said, "and it seems to me that the only way to look at the matter Is in the light tf the future. Supposing, therefore, that you Were free In the ordinary way, Mrs. Fielcu-n, tnd that, after a certain lapse of time Mr. Tlume asked you to be his wife, "tvould you be inclined to marry him?" "Really. I-" "Oh. I know It is a most embarrassing question, but you have nsked my advice and 1 am trying to find a way out of the difficulty. Let me try another way. Grant for a moment, Mr. Hume, that this fortune passes from Mrs. Fielden, would you be likely to make her an offer of marriage?" "To make her my wife has been the one pTeat wish of my life," Hume answered. "She was not rich when I asked her to marry me years ago." "Conv we are a step forward. Now, Mrs. Fielden, don't you think you could manage to answer my question?" Hume went and stood behind her chair and put his hands upon her shoulders. She looked up into his face. "I should consent," she said. "Then, seeing you have a son to consider as well. I should comply with the terms of the will," saUlr. Barton, decidedly. Hume bent over her. "Will you marry me like this, Ethel, for the boy's 6ake?" "Yp." she answered. "Then. Mr. Hume, we will make all arrrmer.5 fo- -morrow right." said Mr. Karton. "I wili write to this solicitor and ak him to be present as a witness that the will hns been duly complied with. I congratulate you on your decision; I believe it U the right one to make." That was a strange wedding which made Robert Hume and Ethel Fielden man and wife. Outside was the midnight rumble of the streets, the world of pleasure and fashion going it3 several ways with light or heavy heart as it happened. Within the light was dim and cold, making the faces of the living almost as ashen as that of the man lying in his coffin placed on trestles at the foot of the bed. The clergyman, an old friend of Hume's, read the service in a sub-du-d tone, and the answers were given in a low voice. And then it was over. Husband and wife stood hand in hand beside the coffin for a moment, and Ethel bent down and kissed the dead man's forehead. It was her forgiveness for what he had made her pass through. The rumble in the streets grew less and less until it was silent altogether. The lights in the room were out and the door was l ckfd. A breath of night air stirred the curtains at the window a little, and a ray from a street lamp cast a yellow patch upon the ceilintr Just above tho coffin.

Without it was still, very still, even fashion and pleasure had gone home to rest. Within it was still, death still, but the wind was rising a little surely. There was a long sigh Just now which sounded like the first breath of a coming storm. y t the curtains stirred

no more than they hail done. There the

glanced round the room and then at the

strange and narrow bed. The man sighed again. For a moment he felt relieved, was glad that his horrible dream was not true,

world, it was no dream, but the truth. They 'were married just now. here close beside me. She did bend to kiss me. I have been in some trance, with ears to hear and understand", yet motionless d-ad." Th- yellow patch upon the ceiling was paler now. There was a rippl of life in the air without, and the sound of the wheels of a heavy wagon at a distance. That was the first low note of a bird, and dawn crept slowly out of the East. The light grew stronger in the room. "The dawn. What shall I dor At the head of the coffin was a table; a few bottles stood on it. and his own" medicine chest. He remembered that the table was pushed there Just before they were married. In that chest there was certainty. "It i the only way after what I have done." His lips muttered a prayer cs his fingers felt for wh.it h.- wanted in the cabinet a small bottle, ribbed and tightly corked He knew it well, its d irk blue color, its warning red label.

Xo one will ever guess. They left me dead and dead thy shall find me." He lowered himself into his narrow bod carefully, making all as nearly as it had ben. Then he raised his head a little and drank the contents of the bottle to the dreg?, and threw the lottle into a corner of the room, where it rolled under a heavy piece of furnittire. . t'.rant they may not find it; at least, not Then in the room all was still again W ithout there were more sounds of wheels and the rattle of a rapid milk cart.

The funny old woman the: spol ence more ! 'Subtract the third question from twenty-four, And add to the second an even score." I worried and worried my poor old head Until I was wishing that I waiacf, And finally, "I givs 'em up," I said.

A funny eld woman once said to me :

If I should ask you questions three,

Pray tell me what would their answers be." I scratched my head and I heaved a sigh. And I thought and thought while the hours went by; Such puzzles are dreadful to such as I. The funny old woman then laughed at me.

I'll help you to figure them out." said she.

Divide the first question by eighty-three."

I never at problems was very quick. And this was so hard that it made me sick. I wished I had studied my 'rithmetic. The funny old woman then came quite near. And stood on tip-toes as she said. "Poor dear, M whisper the answers into your ear." The answers she gave in an undertone Were simple, of course, as I might have known ; But I can't work problems out all alone.

Hickory, dlckory, dock! The mouse sprang out from the clock ; The clock struck one and the girl struck, too, But she missed the mouse and she cried "Boo-hoo!" For she bruised her hand when she smashed the dial, And the girl and the clock went down in a pile. And the girl's screams echoed the whole house through, And the clock ran down, and the mouse did, too ; And the cook was .1-running about the house In a desperate search for the little mouse ; And the mouse looked on from Its hiding place Vlth a calm, sweet smile on Its Innocent face, And viewed what was left cf the girl and the clock Hickory, dickory, dock I

Away up there in the Polar Land, They celebrate just as we boys do. For they play hop-scotch and leap-frog, too. And honest Injun I they sing and prance. And have a regular May-pole dance. They never call it a May-pole, though They call It a North Pole, there, you know.

"You see, when I've been at these formal

I talked physical culture to her until she looked so disgusted that I decided it would be healthy for me to leave, so I found au opening to talk with Miss Green, who is decidedly intellectual. We fell to discussing books and I told her I was a great admirer of the Duchess and asked her how she liked that writer. Kellows, you ought to have seen the expression on her face. I kept that expression in mini and two minutes later weut out in the hall and laughed. Maybe you think Miss White and Miss Green didn't avoid me the rest of the evening.

the plan very long. but. to furnish amusement for one evening it is unsurpassed." The girls were feasting upon the contents of a box, which one of them had received from homo. Miss X, who was visiting one of the girls, was in the party and told the following story: "While I was at the Blank Classical School of Philadelphia, the preceptress of our building was very strict, a decided extremist in the matter of discipline; in our ej-es. at least. One day my roommate got a box from John, a friend of her's, who was a student at Harvard. We had opened it and were viewing its cpntents with delight, when the preceptress entered. When she saw the empty box and the table covered with bonbons, cake, quail and fruits, she immediately asked by whom it had been sent, and Mary told her that it came from a friend at Harvard. And don't you know, that woman made Mary write a note to John in which she said formally she was not allowed to receive boxes from young men and that she would have to return the one which he had sent. The note was written at the dictation of the preceptress and was decidedly cold and polite. Then the latter left the room, telling us to pack the eats back in the box and prepare to send It away by express. Rut after she left we decided to put some old books and magazines in the bottom and a few of the eats on top. which we accordingly did. Mary intended to explain the whole matter to John in a later letter. John received the formal note and the box and didn't know what to think, but felt that he had been treated rather coolly and decided to await explanations. Hut, thinking it a pity that the contents of the box should be wasted, he sent the box on to hi? brother Frank, a student at Rrown Inlveritv

Frank was delighted when he received it but his delight was rapidlv changed to chagrin when he found a little fruit and many old books and magazines on the inside. He returned the box to John with a note saying that he bad plenty of reading matter, and that while he. was of a humorous disposition he had failed to see anything particularly funny in such a trick as had been played upon him. Poor John was so dUgusted that he sent the box to the furnace and told Mary afterward that he had made a resolution that he'd be hanged if he tried to give two certain individuals any pleasure after that. The whole matter however, was finally explained to the satisiaction of all parties concerned." A Word From the Past The ability of old "Parson" Erownlow in fturdy vituperation was well known in his day and is not yet forgotten. A specimen of It was given in the papers during the presidential campaign of IStJO. but has been doubtless forgotten by Journal readers, and is here reproduced from an old neWSIaPer. A mrlmnn XT- . .

vituperation la given tu the following noted

letter to Jordon Clark, which excels even Prentice of Harney, rival Louisville editors during the civil war, who amused their readers by abusing each other through their columns:

"Camden, Ark., June SO, 1SC0. W. G. Brownlow: Dear Sir I have learned with pleasure, upon what I consider erliable authority, that you have made up your mlud to join the Democratic party and in the future act with us for the benefit of the country. When will you come out and announce it? It will have a good effect in the present election if you will make it known over your rignature. Hoping to hear from you. 1 am. very truly yours, "JORDAN CLARK." Here is the reply: Knoxtille, Tcnn., July 6. . 1S60 Mr Jordan Clark: Dear Sir I have your letter of June y, and hasten to let you know the precise time when I expect to come out and formally announce that I have joined the Democratic party. When the sun shines at midnight and the moon at midday; when man forgets to be selfish or Democrats lose their inclination to steal: when nature stops her onward march to rest, or all the water courses in America ilow up stream; when flowers lose their odor and tree. shed no leaves; when birds talk and beasts of burden laugh; when damned spirits swap hell for heaven with the angels of light and pay thtm the boot in mean whisky; when impossibilities are in fashion and no proposition is too absurd to be believed then you may credit the report that I have joined the Democratic party. "I join the Democracy! Never, so long as there are sects in churches, weeds in gardens, fleas in hog pens, dirt in victuals, disputes in families, wars with nations, water in the ocean, bad men in America, or base women in France. No, Jordan Clark, you may hope, you may congratulate, you may reason, you may sneer, but that cannot be. The thrones of the old world, the courts of the universe, the governments of men, may all fall and crumble to ruin, the new world may commit the national suicide of dissolving the Union, but all this and more must occur before I join the Democracy. "I join the Democrats! Jordan Clark you know not what you say. When I join the Democracy the Pope of Rome will join the Methodist Church. When Jordan Clark, of Arkansas, is President of the Republic of Great Britain by the universal suffrage of a contented people; when Queen -Victoria consents to be divorced from Prince Albert by a county court in Kanras; when Congress obliges by law James Duchanan to marry a European princess; when the Pope leases the Capitol at Washington for his city residence; when Alexander, of Russia, and Napoleon, of France, are elected senators in Congress from New Mexico; when good men cease to go to heaven or bad men to hell; when this world is turned upSide down; when proof is afforded, clear and unquestionable, that there is no God; when men turn to ants and ants to ele-phants-then I will change my political faith and come out on the. side of Democracy. Supposing that this full and frank letter will enable you to fix upon the period when I will ccme out a full-grown Democrat, and requesting you to communicate the same to all whom it may concern in Arkansas, I am, yours trulv, W. G. BHOWNLOW."
