ONLY AN EPISODE.
A STORY,
BV MARION HAUL AND.
[ Copyrighted* Zv’W.j
The ruined tower of the old church at
Jamestown, Va., in which Master John
Kolfe, gentleman, and Pocahontas, Prin
cess, were married in the year of our Lord
1613, is a picturesque object in an unpic
turesque landscape.
The yellow stream wallows between tlat
banks it has soaked a war, toot by foot,until
much of the low lying peniusula, covered
by the flrst English settlement in the Old
Dominion, has gone to make muddier tUe
turbid water or he*‘u carried down by
freshet and tide iuto the Chesapeake.
Acres of sedge and marsh grasses stretch
out toward the mainland; to the lelt of the
spectator who faces the river the one
other bold fact ol the view intercepts the
eye in its sweep horizon ward. The Gov
ernment Palace, built by Berkeley and
tenanted by Dunwoodie, strikes founda
tion walls more than a yard thick, from
cellar to attic, into the alluvial soil. The
line* of these and the sharp pitch of the
roof are unobstructed by vine or bough,
but smiling gardens and tliriftv or
chards outlying it betoken wise planter
ship on the part of the true gentleman
and courteous host wuo is now the pro
prietor.
A rail and board fence, topped with
twisted wires, separates a rough load
from the churchyard. Entering by me
plantation gate, the tourist makes his
way through a tangle of Scotch broom
fennel ami briars over apavemeot of fallen
Vimbatonea.
“The scenes at this old Jamestown
Shurch are painted for us in thechroni
eles. It was a building sixty feet long and
twenty-four broad, which had narrowly
escaped burning when the colony was
abandoned. Lord Delaware at once re
paired it and would have it decorated
with flowers. The pews and chancel
were of cedar, the communion table of
black walnut. There was a baptismal
font and a lolly pulpit; and at the west
end were bung two bells. This was the
first church edifice worthy of the name
erected is America.”
So read Miss Martha Wilson with ac
cent and precision befitting a gentle
woman ol filty years’ standing, who had
given some attention to elocution.
Her seat was a horizontal slab, broken
Irregularly across by a sycamore tree,
which, striking its roots into the heart of
the sleeper beneath the stone, had heaved
Ale from the brick base and carried it up
ward, as the tree grew, eighteen inches or
10. then riven it asunder. Both edges of
{be severed tablet were burled In the
•ides of tbs bifurcated trunk. Tbe
topmost branches ware taller than tbe
tower.

WHILE MIPS WILSON READ, A SMALL
lIAMD. ITO.
While Mies Wilson read, a small band,
incased in a lan-colortd glove (undressed
ana ni iusquel'airei, brushed dry leaves
and twigs trora tue other half ol the
broken tomb. As Abe elder spinster
closed Cooke’s "Virginia, A History ot
the. l’eople,” on a lean, gray-kidded fore
finger. a softer, younger voice said slowly
pickiDg out word by word:

“Exceedingly beloved, missed and
lamented!” went on the gentle toues. “So
long, long ago, too!”
“With a cruinhiiag s'one at the feet and the

“Heaven forbid that it should come for
many vears to those who love, who would
ana* and lament you!”
The quotation and the passionate prose
epilogue were uttered sollotoce by Lieut.
Walter Hardee,U. S. A., statioued at pre
sent at Fortress Monroe, lie was the
handsomest man in hia regiment.and fond
of reciting apt poetical selections to an
appreciative audience of one. lje dashed

sportive gsilantry to avert the imputa
tion ot sentimentality, lu falling into the
forvent undertone be looked down into
Marjory Wvtikoop’seves wiih a smile half
Under, halt playful, in ms own.
The girl shook her bead as her gaze re
lumed to the shattered tomb.
“It matters nothing to her now—the
love, the missing ami the mourning. It
is dreadful to be deoil and forgotten
on such a day and in such it world as
tbisl”
“My child, it is the commou lot of mor
tals I” Miss Wilson raised her head from
the block book in which she was jotting
down memoranda. The platitude n,
conventional stucco on a ground work of
atony common sense. “Mr. Hardee, tbs

While the polite officer strode lightly
and evenly over tbo space indicated,
Marjory (’rolled away imo the miniature
jungle. Pursuing her piesently when be
had g van In bis statistics, he louud her
standing within the tower door. f*be wore
a traveling suit of soft cloth, russet
brown In color, that fitted the undula
tions of her supple figure to perfection—a
Kedlsra ppeiu, tailor-made and unlfaiis
laiaOle. Her toad was thrown back
•lightly as she looked up at the Inner
curve of toe arch; s slanlauu ray turned
tbs fluffy hair clustering under tits bon
net brim to filmy gold; bei eyes were as
bins and candid ns a child's; she hud s
straight nose, a pair of red. sensitive lips,
an eK,|ui*a*|y lair skin and a compiei
ion liks a wild rose just opened. Ilia
pielur# trained oy the cmbissure of Is#
bat row pon m justified the young Inflow's
pauseoi admiration.

S?**** r > that varied

unconscious and. in her wor.d, curious
charm. Still a third was the serious
simplicity that met Mr. Hardee's banter
ing catechism.
“I ara tbiukine that Pocahontas cer
tair.lv passed through this door on ner
wedding day and trying to imagine how
sbs—bow it all looked. Jamestown is
very direct and satisfactory. There are
no guides to bewilder one. no crowd of
sight-seers to break the spell of antiquity
and s'lenee. It Is good to he here.”
Still talking of the dusky bride, *he love
of whom stirred up “a mighty war in the
meditations” of that pious aDd priggish
widower. Master John Rolfe, tbe modern
man and maiden passed through tbe gate,
i crossed the road and climbed tbs knoll
beyond. Lieut. Hardee folded his mill
' tary cloak cusoion-wise on a tlat stone at
the foot of a dwarf thorn tree. When his
companion was seated he threw himselt
down on the grass belore her.
“But ou have your back to the best
features of the view,” she represented.
•T beg your pardon.” lilting his cap,
without altering his position.
It wa> one of the *‘ways” that made
tbe handsome defender to bis country
irresistible witn the sex he studied to
please. Ways as intangible and potent
as sunshine, subtle and enchanting as the
breath of flowers. Tile reverent gesture,
the slight, expressive arch of the brows,
the qu.ver ol the sweeping moustache be
traying a lurking smile, carried a volume
ot meaning. Marjory Wyrik* op whs a
metropolitan belie "with a record,” won
in tvro New York seas, ns and a summer
at Mount Desert, not she colored again
and looked steadily down the rivi r,
granting him but a three-quarter
prolile.
••Wnat weather for November!”
“The atmosphere is tul! of Indian sum
mer and of poet v,” said fia dee, in a
dreamy,stealing r’cspecttul homage at her
under long lashes.
Both seemed to listen. The brooding
stillnes- was go profound that they could
hear a flock ot she-p cropping the dry
grass in a Held a dozen rods away, the
lazy roll of the yellow river sapping the
clayey banks, the plaintive call of the
partridge In the stubbie on the mainland.
The sun was a circlet of dun gold floating
in the Inetlable softness of the haze, be
yond which the distance fainted into blue
uotningness. Through the two loopholes
set in the forehead of the old tower the
Bast looked solemnly at them. Be nnd
tbe ruin, spread as in prayer or lament or
benediction, arose the naked arms oi tbe
sycamore rooted in the dead woman's
heart.
‘•Some of my ancestors sailed up this
river two hundred years ago,” Marjory
said, in suduen enwakening. One miebt
have fancied that she drew back iron*a
dangerous brink. ”My grandmother was
of Huguenot descent and a Virginian by
birth. She knew manv stories of ber
French forbears. One which made an in
delible impression on my mind was of die
escape of one family from their native
land in a small trading vessel. They
were overtaken, and the schooner was
searched by the King's officers. file
fugitives were packed in tbe hold and
surrouuded by bales and boxes of mer
chandise. The soldiers thrust their
swords through cracks in the deck, prob
ing (or their prey. The point of a blade
entered the shoulder of iny great-great
grandmother, stuck there for an instant,
and was jerked out. Before it. could be
drawn tip out of sight she wiped the blood
from it with her kerchief, that il, the red
stain, might not betray the nature of tbe
cargo.”
“A fine, dramatic incident!” Hardee’s
face was all alight with enthusiasm.
“I hose times made heroines and heroes.
Every life was a drama, with tragic ele
ments ireely intermixed. If we seek tne
heroic now-a-days wu must go to the
stugo for it. Tragedy is, with us, a
synonym tor ‘sensational.’ Both are bad
lorm. .Stabbing and stoicism are relegated
to the lower classes. 1 think hearts and
lives grow shallower with each genera
tion of‘cut lured people.’ ”
“It is as well, perhaps, that stabbiug
should no longer lie numbered among tbe
fine arts,” said Marjory. “As to tragedy,
beans have grown deeper and the play
goes on be hi ii' I tbe curtain. Then men
and women suffered and o ied out. Now,
they endure and hide. Tbe higher the
culture and me finer (he strain of old
blood tbe more graceful and thorough is
the heroism ol concealment.”
Unrdce’H surprise was -enuino.
“1 am continually getting new llgblM
upon you! These lust few hours area
revelation. I really thought—”
“That I am never troubled myself to
think! I seldom do. \Vhv spoil holidays
with metaphysics and sentimentalizing?
And at my aye life should be one long
holiday. Eire In baC'iielle!’ 1
She hul picked up a pebble wern smooth
by floods from 'a - water’s edge, and now
tossed It down the declivity with fling so
strong and aim so true that it skipped to
the river, raised a tiny geyser in the tur
bid sheet and awoke sleepy circles that
weie long in subsiding.
“Not yet—please!”

“I HAVE A BTORYTO TELL THAT MUST BE
HEARD SERIOUSLY.”
Hardee sat erect and looked down the
river In his turn. A flush crept up to his
cap brim.
“1 have a story to tell that must be
heard seriously—and Indulgently.”
He did not go on with it. and M ins Wyn.
koop gazed full at him, unobserved. He
was verv humisonie, and a gentleman
from tbeclnse crown of his cucslnut buir

looking lellow, gay, well bred, well read,
gallant aud, to her, the most devot and of
cavaliers. For one month lie had been

post granted him liberty to sun himself In
her presence. For one month gossips,
kindly, critical and envious, had bud toelr

the esplanade, piazzas and corridors of
“The tlygcia,” talked in shadowy parlor

that when the Lieutenant pulled himself
up and together In the brief sentences I
have recorded his companion knew per
fectly well what manner oi communica
tion he had to make. She had six other
scalps ( imaginary ) dangling at her oestus
(also imaginary ); had seen all the morn
ing wnat was coming, and was in no
doubt as to what her answer would be.
He might have anticipated tho purport of
it had ho met tne eyes that surveyed him
in deliberate thoughtfulness while he
gazed down tbe river. He did not turn
his head then, or when be began bis story.
His self-poise was less perfect during the
prelude than might have beeu expected
from one familiar with the graceful au
dacity oi certain of his other “affairs,”
but the auditor took into account the
heats and flurries incident to the crisis of
the inuiadv. Being by nature tender
hearted. she would willingly have inter
posed a helping word had not etiquette
frowned down the meditated deed of
charity.
••You have permitted me to know you
so well during the weeks of our acquaint
anceship that 1 trust you will acquit me
of presumption. It is not possible to see
as much of you as 1 do without gaining a
higher ideal of womanhood. You nave
let me call you friend, Miss Wynkoop.
Forgive me if l oi ace my courage ou that
circumstance in bespeaking your interest
in wnat lies so near my that 1 have
beaten it back from my lips a hundred
times in the last week.”
He was gaining fluency, but still look
ed i iverward, w hile he talked, plucked at
the withered sod with a nervous right
hand, tore up bunches by the roots and
strewed them idly about tiim.
“I have tbougnt—l have hoped some
times, that your quick perceptions may
have divided the truth; tuat >our gentle*
ties* ot manner, your toleration ot my at
tentions, signified your knowledge of the
real state ol affairs. lam :t |>la n, blunt
soldierand noiliploinatisi, M iss Wynkoop,
Marjorie!” His fingers were buried nard
in the turf, his face was pale with excess
of agitation as he wheeled upou her
“Have you never guessed that I am en
gaged to be married?”
She did not start, neither did she trem
ble, yet a keen eye might have seen her
whole tiguie waver in tnedarling thrill o!
surprise, and her color shill a-, boughs*
sur and roses are shaken when the root
is jarred. A woman does not sustain, un
moved, a shock to her vanity. Before the
shiver passed she laughed, a pleasant rip
ple of amusement, linged ever so slightly
with the maliouly patronage inevitable lo
the feminine confidante ol such an avow
al. “My dear Air. Hardee, you take my
breath away! Your story la like a loot
pad’s! Stand and deliver!” lam not a
soldier, but l too, can be biuut. 1 heard
youi tremendous revelation tbe evening 1

labeled you as we sometimes see cross
ways posted. ‘Not a public street. Dan
gerous!’ Like yourself, 1 havo been
tempted to bring forward the subject a
hundred times, but it was your place to
broach it. Thank you ever so much lor
doing it at last. Now,” with a pretty
show oi settling herself against the dwarf
thorn tree, “tell me all about it—and her.

lie spoke with grave reluctance. A
man never appears to less advantugelhan
when, having spent hours, days, mayhap
weeks, in testilymg more or less openly
to a woman that, ahe is his chief object in
life, the time comes for lettiug her know
that she lias all along held a secondary
place. Nor did Hardee warm intod ffuse
nes* over the “all.” His betrothed was
the sister of a brother officer. They had
met at a frontier station a veor before
while she was visiting her military rela
tives. She was quite pretty, somewhat
arcomplished. affectionate in disposition
(the last thing a woman would have men
tioned in th“ circumsiunccs), sweet tem
pered, and IS) years o!d.
“1 know,” .Marjory nodded, apprecia
tive, and still patronizing. “A thorough
ly nice girl, a real I v womanly woman!
When you are married you must bring
her to New York on the wedding trip. I’ll
give her tho moat rn-hfrch* reception that
can l.e designed by best so i -iv artistes."
Then, bewitchiugly impel I.ill’s, “let rue
see tbe photograph you cairv in your left
breastpocket. Haven’t it with you? You
will show it to me to nivbt fn ibe pauses

it, but lam thankful she will not be there.
In that case von would not be mv part

“.Seriously, Mr. Hardee, and briefly—
fori see Miss Wilson’s bonnet swimming
through the fennel tops—l congratulate
you most cordially on your happiness,
present and prospective.’ And. noiiobe
outdone in friendliness, I aui what might
be styled a demi-semi-llancee. myself.
That is. 1 was overpersuaded to ‘take the
matter into consideration’ a wnile ago.
You know the status of Ihe woman who
hesitates. We will keep each other's con
fidence and be all the better friends lor
the exchange.”
It was midnight, and moon and tide
were high when .Mia* Wvnkoop and her
cavalier strolled from the ballioom upon
the encompassing esplnnad >. Her cos
tume, her besutv, her asnoing, her wit,
had been the pride and marvel ol the bril

“Rare and radiant maiden!”
quoted Walter Hardee, looking Into the
sparkling face with eyes it whs us well

“The line tias been In my mind all the

“Three other Lieutenants, two Majors

Her suit laugh mingled musically with
Hie sough ol the long waves at their feel.

on our first floor at wholesale prices, which is a saving ot 30
to 40 per cent. In other words, the patrons of KROUS
KOFFS pay no more tor their Millinery than the same
goods would cost to the largest retailers here.
I t should also be considered that ladies are not restricted
in their selections to such limited stocks as are found else
where, but can make their choice from an almost endless
variety of shapes in fine and medium grades—white, black,
and colored—for ladies, misses, and boys.
Our linos of Flowers, Tips, Pllillies, etc., are in the
same proportion.
Our Trimmed Hilts, to look at them, would delight
you, and to price them would gladden the hearts of those who
love to save their dollars. We continue the sale of our
Ribbons at same prices heretofore.
