widower something of his old time ambition. The proposition was plain and practicable. It Involved large quarters, extensive advertising, efficient management. Many a time, during a period of remarkable business success, Paul Rivers thought with regret of that pov-erty-harassed period of his life when he had craved comforts for the dying woman by his sidejhe could not afford to purchase. Money flowed in to the new firm. At the end of the fourth year Paul was practically independent.

“Don’t be rash, Rivers —think it over. Surely, I have treated you fairly?” “More than fairly, Mr. Esmond!” declared Paul Rivers, gratefully and earnestly. “If it is a matter of increased compensation, I -will gladly treat with you.”

In St. Elizabeth Hospital Where She Was Taken A Week Ago.

The business so expanded that he was obliged to go abroad once a year to buy goods. It was on his return from such a trip that his partner, after the usual warm friendly greetings, said somewhat seriously: “I have some bad news for you, Rivers. Your relative who had charge of your little daughter died during your absence.” "And Adeline?” Inquired Paul anxiously. "1 hardly knew what to do about her,” explained his partner. “However, there appeared upon the scene a widow, a Mrs. Lyttleton, who resides at Taunton. She offered to take charge of the child until your return. I found that she was an estimable lady of wealth and social standing, and have received letters from Mrs. Lyttleton weekly, reporting her little charge contented and happy.” Taunton! A slight sense of sadness momentarily clouded the mind of Paul. The name of that town where he had first met Elolse Esmond, naturally awakened poignant memories. The next day he went to see his little daughter. As he neared the residence of Mrs. Lyttleton he discovered it to be one of the finest in the place. In the garden under a leafy shelter were three persons—two ladies and little Adeline. The latter was seated in the lap of one of the ladies, her head reclining trustingly upon her shoulder as a fairy tale was being told to her. "Eloise —Miss Esmond!” breathed Paul with a thrill. "What can she be doing here?” and then his entrance through the gateway was discovered by little Adeline, who bounded joyously forward to meet him. "Oh, papa! I have been so happy here,” she prattled—“so very happy with dear, dear Aunty Elolse, who is with us all of the time.”

"Oh, no, sir—it isn’t that.” “You have a better prospect, perhaps?” suggested Mr. Esmond, anxious to secure the confidence of an employee he valued and respected. “I have nothing in view, sir,” explained Paul, “but —I —that is, I feel the need of a change. My mother, who lives in another state, is old and failing rapidly. I feel it a duty to be near her.”

Thus, in a halting way, wretched at heart, hiding a deep secret, Paul Rivers bade farewell to the two brightest years of his young life. He had come to Taunton a stranger and had secured work in the large mercantile establishment of Robert Esmond. Prom the start the wealthy business man had admired his energy and efficiency. At the end of a year he had advanced his favored employee to a managerial position. Then he had made a vast mistake, so far as Rivers was concerned. He had invited Paul, to his home and had introduced him to his daughter, Eloise. She was a queenly, undemonstrative girl, and although to Paul she seemed far, far above him, he became a frequent visitor at the palatial home and a secret worshiper at the shrine of her fascinating influence. Miss Esmond stood high socially. The family friends were of the elite. She was courted by men who had thousands where Paul had hundreds. The self-deprecating Paul finally arrived at a conclusion. To confess his

years. Mrs. Parlon was born near South Ranb April 5, 1860, and almost her entire life was spent in that community. She was 55 years old. Some few months, ago she came to make her home with son in New Richmond. She was possessed of a beautiful character and was a noble woman. She was educated in the public schools of Tippecanoe county and was a graduate of St. Ignatius academy. She was a member of St, Mary’s Catholic church of Lafayette and was a devout Christian. She is survived by two sons, James T. Parlon of New Richmond and Caleb 0. Parlon of South Raub.

and Telephone

Our transportation facilities are the most perfect product of this great commercial age and the telegraph and telephone systems of this nation crown the industrial achievements of the whole world. These twin messengers of modern civilization, born in the skies, stand today the most faithful and efficient public servants that ever toiled for the human race.

spiring company than the fellowship of the giant intellects that constructed this marvelous industry and a journey along the pathway of its development, illuminated at every mile-post of its progress by the lightning-flashes of brilliant minds, will be taken at a very early date. A brief statistical review of the industry brings out its growth and magnitude in a most convincing and unforgetable manner. The telephone service of the United States is the most popular and efficient and its rates are the cheapest of the telephone systems of the world. We are the greatest talkers on earth. We send 60 per cent of our communications over the telephone. The world has about 15,000,000 telephones and of this number the United States has approximately 9,540,000, Europe 4,020,000 and other countries 1,300,000. According to the latest world telephone census, the total telephone investment is $1,906,000,000 and of this amount $1,095.000. was credited to the United States, $636,000,000 in Europe and $175,000,000 In other countries. The annual telephone conversations total 24.600.000. divided as follows: United States 15,600,000,000; Europe 6,800,000,000, and other countries 2,200,000,000. The total world wire telephone mileage is 33,262,000 miles divided as follows: United States 20,248,000, Europe 10,335,000, and other countries 2.679.000. About six per cent of the world's population and sixty-one per cent of the telephone wire mileage is in the United States.

They are of American nativity and while warm from the mind of the inventive genius have, under American supervision, spun a net-work of wires across the earth and under the seas. Telegraphy, in its early youth, mastered the known world and the telephone has already conquered the earth's surface, and now stands at the seashore ready to leap across the ocean.

Stately, reserved, but her deep dark eyes magnetic and beautiful as of yore, Miss Esmond greeted her old time friend graciously. Hers was a superb calm, as she told frankly that all through the years she had been interested in keeping track of an old and valued friend.

School Convention.

No industry in the history of the world has ever made such rapid strides in development and usefulness, and none has ever exerted a more powerful influence upon the civilization of its day than the Telegraph and Telephone. Their achievement demonstrates the supremacy of two distinct types of American genius—invention and organization.

“I felt I had the right,” she said, “and as to this little darling,” and she wound her arms fondly about Adeline, “oh, surely you are not going to take her away from us?” A sudden light Illuminated Paul’s mind. Only that morning his business partner had told him that all the capital originally invested in their enterprise had been repaid to the investor—a lady. Was that lady Eloise Esmond? He put a blunt question. “Miss Esmond,” he said steadily, “I believe your kindly interest was the means of starting me in business. Is It not true?”

love to her was sure to meet with a haughty rejection. Mistrusting his own sterling value, misjudging a woman’s heart, Paul Rivers resolved to go away and forget Eloise Esmond. “Blind —doubly blind!” commented a close lady friend of Miss Esmond to herself, for she had discerned what lay hidden under the mask of calmness worn by Eloise. At all events, Paul went to his mother’s home to begin a new life. He found there a patient, unpretentious young girl who had tenderly nursed his aged relative for three long years. The girl had no other home, no friends. When Mrs. Rivers died, her forlorn position touched the generous heart of Paul.

For once the proud eyes drooped, the calm face flushed deeply, but there came no reply. “Why—why have you done all this for me?’’ fluttered Paul. Still silence, the graceful form all tremulous now, and then the heart of Paul Rivers hoped, and later he knew that he had been loved—silently, secretly, strongly, since the day he had met this stanch, loyal woman.

AVOID THE MUSHY LETTER

Lovers Will Do Well to Remember That Their Missives May Be Read in Court.

When love letters come into print the comic element m the divine passion looms above everything, and the world, instead of loving the lover, snickers at him.

We heard on the street the other day of a man who claimed he was too poor to take his home paper but all the same he read a notice in a city paper telling how to prevent a horse from slobbering, and sent $1.50 for the recipe. When the $150 worth of information came it said. “Teach your horse how to spit.’ -

“She is not pretty, nor educated,” reflected Paul, “but she Is true as steel. She may cause me to forget Eloise.”

He proposed to Harriet Green, and she was proud and happy. A little child, Adeline, was born to them. Then Harriet faded slowly away, blessing heaven to the last for tho husband whose gentleness and care she had mistaken for love. Paul placed the little child in charge of a distant spinster relative. He planned to go West and seek in new work forgetfulness of his past gloomy experiences. Then the whole current of his career was changed by a somewhat remarkable occurrence.

A warrant charging disturbance of the peace was sworn out by a young woman who had been receiving letters in which the young man declared that she was “Imbedded in his heart” and that “his face was swelling from kissing her at a distance.”

Love, said a great poet, puts a man to a test only comparable to the ordeal of dissolution. He who swaggers, lordly in his strength and self-control, spills himself on paper as a mushy, sniveling, sappy sentimentalist when he pens a love letter. Napoleon, Thackeray and Browning wrote with dignity and power to women; the average man becomes puerile in addressing the object of his affections. If lovers could hear, in imagination, their phrases being Intoned by attorneys in breach of promise and divorce suits the United States malls would carry less pathetic piffle.—Detroit News.

"I had about made up ray mind to try a new field,” responded Paul. “Yes, I heard of that —thinking of going out West, weren’t you? Well, I’m going to try to head you off. Here’s the proposition: I’ve been doing some business in the mercantile line here in a small way. A party has come forward who offers to furnish large capital to expand the business. I’ve known for a long time of your former business experience and ability. Now then, why don’t you capitalize it? You've been grubbing along on that little place of yours, earning a mere living.
