Twice Told Tale.
By LOUIS TIDDEMAN.
Mr. Gillingham proposed to me be
fore he left for Australia, when I had
just turned seventeen, he being ten
years my senior. I went direct to my
father, as was my wonl at tiny trouble
or perplexity, and told him. my arms
about his neck, my head pillowed on
his shoulder. For a while he did not
speak, then he said fervently: "Thank
God!"
That derided mo—that the sudden
clearing of his haggard, eareworn face
ns he clasped me In a close embrace
and spoke in flattering terms of my
lover, affirming that he was of all men
the one he would have chosen for a
son-in-law.
"His father is my oldest friend," said
he. "Jack ip like him, brave ns a lion,
true as steel and honest as tlie day.
God bless you for the news you have
brought, my child; now 1 shall die
happy."
1 clung to him in a passion of tears
and protested tlin* he should not die,
and that God would never lie so cruel
as to take him from me.
"No, no, not for many years yet, 1
hope,” answered he, returning my ca
resses and comforting me as lie alone
knew how.
Soon iifter this Mr. Gillingham left,
with the understanding that in three
years’ time I should go,out to him, ac
companied by my father. His voice
shook as lie bade me good-bye, there
w<as even a suspicion of moisture in his
eyes; mine were tearless, l was sorry,
of course; wc had been capital friends
all through the summer, but since our
engagement there had appeared to lie
something strained in our relationship.
At seventeen one is not, as a rule,
much addicted to self-analysis, but it
did occur to me that in choosing a hus
band a girl should be influenced by
other motives than the desire to please
a parent, however good and wise that
parent may be.
Suppose that when I went into soci
ety I should meet some one I liked
ever so much better? Nothing of the
kind occurred; I returned from every
ball I attended quite convinced that
Mr. Gillingham was superior to any
one whom I had met.
Meanwhile eaeli mail brought mo
long, lover-like letters, to which I re
sponded in frank, friendly fashion, it
seemed to me only natural that lie
should write us he did. for I, for my
part, was not—at least so it seemed—
at all sentimental, and it was eontraiy
to my disposition to make any pre
tence.
Nevertheless. I was really sorry for
him when, as the three years drew to
a close, l found myself compelled to
write and tell him that, owing to the
state of my father’s health, it would be
impossible for me to keep my promise.
1 felt for him in his loneliness, and
grieved for his disappointment, all the
more so because he strove to keep it in
the background and to comfort me.
”1 can wait,” said he, “and will be
patient."
He had need for patience, poor fel
low, for my dear father lingered on,
and two more years passed before
death touched him. Then my sum
mons came—a manly, affectionate let
ter, and withal clear and business-like.
1 was to take my passage on board the
Oriental. A friend of his—his dearest
friend—would travel in the same ves
sel, and would be happy to do all in
his power to be of assistance to me
on the voyage.
1 was glad to go; glad to turn my
back on the familiar scenes amid
which my life had been passed. Home
was home no longer now that my fath
er was dead. 1 stood on the deck o F
the vessel and watched the well-known
shores recede from view, straining my
eyes to catch the last glimpse of them.
Then, turning suddenly, I confronted
Mr. Gillingham’s friend. He was very
tall, very bronzed, but for all that
good to look upon.
I know now, as 1 look back through
the mist of years, that there is such a
thing as love at first, sight, but in these
days I should have ridiculed such an
idea. But Mr. Gillingham’s fiiend was
the means of demonstrating its reality.
Hour by hour, without misgiving, I sat
and listened to his words, at first in
terrupting him by questions relating to
Mr. Gillingham, but only at first.
Day by day he waited on me sedu
lously, anticipating my every want.
Week by week I learned the silent lan
guage of the eyes, the hidden secret of
a fleeting smile, and yet remained ig
norant of my knowledge. He was so
much older than I; besides I was en
gaged and had been so for nearly si.-c
years. There could lie no danger.
Thus I dreamed on until the awaken
ing came—came with a fierce flash of
pain, an agony of self-abasement.
It happened one morning, when in
the midst of a pleasant chat that he
fell back suddenly in a dead faint. He
had had a severe illness recently, so
he told me later, and had been subject
to such attacks since then. But 1 did
not know this at the time, and was
terribly frightened.
I remember kneeling at his feet,
frantically chafing his hands, sick at
heart and trembling. At lenglh his
eyes opened slowly and rested on
me. .1 think \ve both knew then how it
In my mind, at least, there re-
mail ' no shadow of uncertainty.
1 ki,. • now what love meant. It was
no calm, friendly feeling, hut a great,
unquenchable passion. Shame-strick
en, i fled from his presence, and fought
out mv battle alone; the strength of
my own feeling was a revelation to
me. I had at least sufficient honor to
despise myself.
Next day I feigned illness, and it
was not until the voyage came to an
end that we met attain, and lie stood
at my side' once more, helpful as ever
lint reserved and distant. It made my
heart ache, Imt sympathy, possessing
the tare tact that pierces through con
ventionality.
“My dear," she said, after we had
dined, "you wish to lie alone; you are
in no mood for talking."
I was about to reply as politeness
dictated, but she only smiled and
shook her head as she led me in to the
cozy library, settled me comfortably
in the armchair bv the lire and left
me. How I blessed her for her kindly
consideration. Left to myself 1 could
at least try to think.
I would be true to the promise 1 had
given so many years ago, but I would
not deceive the man who loved me—
I would tell him all.
So 1 sat thereinthe dark room and
waited till, out of sheer weariness, 1
fell asleep.
A slight sound awakened me. I
rubbed my eyes and peered through
the gloom. Surely that was u man
seated at the table his head buried in
Ills hands.
"Mr. Gillingham,” I whispered, "Is
it you or am I still dreaming?”
The vessel had arrived n day earlier
than was expected. Mr. Gillingham
\4as n<\t there to meet me, and I was
conducted by his friend to the house
of his aunt, who had offered to receive
me as a guest.. Ghe was a model host
ess, gentle and full of I knew it was
best so; indeed, 1 mistrusted myself
so greatly that I would have shaken
him off had it been possible Un
fortunately it was not.
’’it is I,’’ he replied in a strange,
hollow voice. “And so my wife has
come to me at last, after six weary
years of waiting.
The word "wife” stung me into acute
self-consciousness.
“Yes, 1 answered slowly, "I have
come, but do not come near me, do not
tout h me till you have heard all.”
He appeared little inclined to do so.
He might have been a figure carved in
stone, still and rigid, cold and hard.
"Listen,” I cried, flinging myself at his
feet; "I will be a faithful, loving wife
to you who have waited so long and
so patiently; but 1 will not come to you
with a lie upon my lips. "I have not
been true to you."
"Not true!" he erled, rising to his
feet; "not true! Child, do you know
what you tire saying? Who lias come
between us?"
•Your friend, and that by no fault
of his own. 1 alone am to blame; he
never tried to win my love; be was
only kind—oh! so kind and thought
ful.”
"So kind and thoughtful!” My words
were re-echoed mockingly, but I paid
no heed.
"It’s all over now," 1 continued;
"trust me; 1 will never see him again.
From this time forth I will put him
out of heart forever.”
“No, no,” cried my lover, "not for
ever. 1 hope. Surely there is no need
for that.”
Then be clasped me In his arms and
covered my tear stained face with
kisses. It was good to know myself
forgiven, good to feel those strong
arms about me.
For a space I hid my head upon his
shoulder; when I had courage to lift
my eyes to his I understood.
"Sweatheart,” he said, "it is for me
to ask forgiveness, for you to forgive.
1 am both John Gillingham and his
friend. You gave me, your promise
so long ago that strange doubts and
fears beset me, and 1 was fain to do
by wooing over again. This time,
thank God, I have won.”—From The
New York Evening Journal.
The Sphinx and the Infinite.
1 can Imagine the most determined
atheist looking at the Sphinx and, in
a flash, not merely believing, but feel
ing that he had before hirn proof of the
life of the soul of Khufu beyond the
tomb of his pyramid. Always as you
return to the Sphinx you wonder at it
more, you adore more strangely its
repose, you steep yourself more inti
mately in the aloof peace that seems
to emanate from it as light emanates
from the sun And as you look on it
at last perhaps you understand the
infinity you understand where Is the
bourne to which the finite flows with
all Its greatness, as the great Nile
flows from beyond Victoria Nyanza
to the sea.—From Robert Hichens’s
“The Spell of Egypt” in the Century.

THE PROBLEM OF SLEEP.
Mr. Grayboy Disturbed Somewhat by
the Variations in His Hours of Rest.
“In these later years," said Mr.
Grayboy, "I have found that 1 required
less sleep. When 1 was younger I
used to sleep eight hours, and fre
quently when I was very tired 1 could
use nine; but there came a time a few
years ago when I discovered that sev
en hours sleep was ordinarily all that
I required.
"Now, 1 mentioned this fact, casual
ly, one day, to a friend of mine, and
he said that this was one of the bene
fits that came to men as they increased
in years; that requiring less sleep
they had more time for labor and so
could accomplish more, and that this
was one reason why men of maturer
years were counted as of greater value.
"A pleasant fancy, that, 1 thought.
“Another friend of mine said more
plainly that my requiring less sleep
was a sign of my advancing age; that
very young people, young children,
required a great deal of sleep; that as
people grew older they required less,
until in middle life they need, say,
eight hours of sleep; but that as men
came to be past middle age they re
quired less sleep, and my needing less
simply showed that 1 was getting old.
"Not quite so pleasant that, but
here is a new complication:
“1 find within the last few months
that I am again requiring more sleep.
Whereas for some years seven hours
I found sufficient. 1 now sleep eight
hours. And what does that mean?
Does it mean that I have stopped
growing old, that I am growing young
again? or that I am advancing now to
my second childhood?
"H— m. This sleep business I guess
1 hadn’t better dwell on too much.”—

In Need of Change.
A small girl recently entered a
grocer's shop In the suburbs of
Whitechapel and said to the shop
man in a shrill, piping voice:
"Please, sir, I wants ’arf a pound of
butter and penn'orth of cheese
and muvver ses she will send a shill
ing in when farver conies home.
"All right,” replied the man.
"But,” continued the child, “muv

Lucky Find in a Bee Tree.
4 A Windsor man found a swarm of
f ' bees in a locust tree in his yard. He
sawed off a limb and fastened a hive
there, but the bees declined it and
continued filling the hollow tree with
honey. Wishing to secure the crop
the owner cut down the tree eighteen
inches from the ground.
The stump was full of honey. Then
he sawed the tree three feet higher
and got a barrel of honey. He sawed
again four feet higher and the honey
extended almost to the end.—Kansas

Planning for Farmers' Institutes.
Dr. A. M. Soule, president of the

ti, unees that during the latter part of
June he will hold farmers’ institutes
in twenty-four senatorial districts in
Georgia, exact dates to be announced
later.
Institutes will be held In the other
twenty senatorial districts during the
fall.
With Dr. Soule there will be fliroe
corps of Instructors, and these will
cover the work of twenty-four Insti
tutes in one week. Each of these lec- |
turers will be an expert- and will :
doubtless give the farmer much th -o- !
retlcal work which can be readily plac- * 1
ed Into practice.
One of the chief subjects to be dwelt
upon will be that of self-support upon
an economical basis for the planter.
Along this line, Dr. Soule, who is an
ardent advocate of the use of cotton
seed meal, mixed with cotton seed
hulls, as a cattle feed, will show how |
it is possible to secure the best results |
at the least possible cost by this meth- !
od of feeding.
It will be shown that this feed Is !
equally good for horses. Cotton seed
nteal and hulls, a southern product, Is
very much more cheap than western
hay and bran, at the same time being *
a better fat producer.

furnished to the press of the st ate
an incisive communication dealing
with the order of the railroad commls-
slon of March 27, and made public
dn April 14, by certain newspaper cop
respondents.
As Is well known, the Farmers' I’ n .
Ion has strongly combated tho Jmml'
gratlon movement, urging, among nth-
er things, that It was not only a threat
to Georgia lubor, but that another of ii s
effects would be the cheapening the
price of cotton.
President Duckworth tr.ke s exrep.
tlon to the order of the commission, at
the Issuance of which he expresses
his antonlshmont. - Ills statement i„ ag
follows:
"To the Public: In the state papers
of April 14 I find, much to my astonish
ment, an order Issued by the railroad
commission of Georgia on March 27 as
follows: (Here President Duckworth
quotes the order of the commission
allowing free transportation to Chair
man Betjeman, of the Georgia Immi
gration Association.)
“When the governor told us that he
believed lie could convince the people
of his position, we thought that he
meant In a public discussion of the
question, and we told him that we
would be glad to see him try It.
"In fact, we thought that if he want
ed to discuss the question before the
public, the Fanners’ Union would be
glad to have a representative promt
to present its side of the question, but
from Oils clipping it seems that the
governor did not mean that he would
meet fairly and squarely upon the
stump the views of the Farmers' Tn-
Ion and discuss the question before
the public, but that it was his purpose
to have the railroad commission to as
sist the bringing of Immigrants by
furnishing free passes to the chair
man of the foreign Immigration associ
ation.
"It loo-ks to ns like a scheme by
which the administration hoped to
thwart the will of the public and forre
upon the people foreign immigration,
which they were so strongly oppos
ing.
"The Farmers’ Union is still ready
to meet any man on the stump who
will champion the cause of forngn im
migration, and we believe that nur
reasons will appeal to tho masse* of
the people of the state of Georgia, and
we will only be too glad to meet any
man (whose reputation or following is
worth consideration) on (lie slump in
a discussion of tills quest! n, let it
come early or late.
