VOL XVI
FAIRLY PAID,
“Marry you 1 Why no, Vaue,of
course i won’t! You must have
takeu leave of jour nenaea, lal
ways told you I intended to wed a
man with blue eyes and golden
hair, and yours arc dark. Besides
you are (weuty seven and a medi
cal student, two tnings J never
could tolerate tu the man T honor
with my heart and hand.” And
lovely little Lottie Rexdale laugh
ed a very wicked little laugh as she
pushed the end of her red silk par.
asol into the soft soil under an old
apple tree, at the same lime glanc.
ing saucily up at her companion, a
scholarly young man.
“Why do you ask me ?” she res
sumed
‘•Because I wanted to be made
fUL of, to be ridiculed by the little
grl I love,” replied Vace Win ton,
smiling sadly at the pert joung
lady perched On the hack ot a
nistic garden seat, her brown friz
zes fulling roguishfy into her danc
ing brown eyas.
“Now that doseu’t sound a bit
like own grave Vane, who studies
medlciigs ami cultivates an ice
lomn complexion.”
“An ice cream complexion ask
ed Vane Winton, a little mysti
fied.
“Yes; that’s Lottie Resdai's term
for students’ complexions, You
book-worms study away until
your faces take on the hue ot that
sweet compound,” answered the
roguish girl,
“If you would only be grave for
a while I might talk to you,” said
Vane.
J‘Yes; you know I’m such a
iouge that I should put ym to the
blush a thousand times a day,’
chimed in Lottie
"I am willing to run the risk.”
“Ah ! hut I sha/1 not agree to
any ouch sacrifice. Marry some
steady, sensible gill, Alice May
will be here in one hour, Be po
lite and captivate her. Miss May
is so highly cultured and grave
that she will surely not be less than
suohtne in yoar eyes. I’ll tell
you ”
But Vane did not stay to hear
more’ H« walked off, leaving gay
Lottie Rexdale laughiufi merrily.
Lottie was the ward ol Vane
Wiutou’s kind father. She had
been grpheued at a very »ge, A
maiden aunt had then adopted her.
W j«i> Lottie was but ten, her
kind relative died. But befoie
that she had sent for Mr. Winton,
her girlhood’s lover, and made him
promise to rec ive the little orphau
girl- The kind man consented ;
and so Lottie became an inmate of
Vane Winlon’s home.
Vane was the only child of weal
thy parents, and at the time when
Lottie came to his father’s house
he was away on the Continent.
When he returned three years
afterwards he found his “waid
sisler,” as ho had called her iD his
letters, away at some school for
girls. So it happened that Yane
and Lottie had never uiet until
six month before Vane was a
fine scnolar, bat he had never
studied any profession. Now at
the age of twenty seven, realizing
perhaps that “it is never too late
to mend," he was fitting himself
for tho ministry.
Vaue was trying to study at his
home that summer, S nnetioies
he foiled it impossible to do so
amid the temptest aroused by mis*
hievous Lottie Rexdal. She
threw open the unused piano, ar.d
made the bouse ring wi h her bell*
like notes. She filled the library
with flowers, tossed up Van’s books
and even ssnbled on them. She
rode every horse on the place
romped with Prince, the great shag
gy dog, tore her dresses, went
bare-headed, and turned the wide
hail into a skating rink.
Sue was utterly spoiled by both
Mr. and Mrs, Winton. At first
Vaue had been shocked, But the
more he studied her original chat -
acter, the more he become recon
ciled to it. Tolerance gave place
<o admiration, and that, in due
time, to love. He had alway felt
a vague longing to discover a
woman in whose character he hop*
ed to fiud originality and freedom
from sftecdop. If ho could teach
Lottie to love him, what a splendid
ttfcf «i§Ut
LA WHENCE VILLE G-A Tuesday September 14 1886
Ho would wait patiently and
hopefully, he reasoned, as he wtlk
ed away. Taking a volume from
his pocket, bo sat down ou a bench
u ler an elm, and began to pursue
*, Soon a merry laugh caused
him to look up, and he saw Lottie
riding dowu the Line ou her milk
white Floss. Very bright and
piquant she looked in her ndiug
habit as she drew rein beside him*
“Sir Owl, lin on my way, to
meet Miss dine now, aud while
I’m gone I shall expect you to
comb your hair, part it in the mid
dle, put on a clean collar, pin a
flower iu yonr button hole, and
act very dude Mike.” And with a
merry iaug >, she rode away.
For weeks afler Alice May’s ar
rival the house was tilled with
company. Tune devoted himself
almost entirely to her, leaving Lot
tie to amuse herself- At the fre
quent piernre Alice shone as the
chief star of the occasion. She
might be gone all da v, but returned
with her elegaui cusiomes as per
feet as when she started, while
Lottie would lose her parasol ahd
fan, and tear gieat holes in her
dresses, and come /tome with her
face and hands as black as a gvp'
siy’s.
When Vane and Alice w*ut rid
ing, Lottie would show off' Floss
and jump hedges, thus provokiug
earnest remonstrance from Vane-
Then the brown eyed witch rode
faster than ever, sending back gay
peals of laughter to the dignified
couple whom she left to bring up
the rear.
Of ate Vane thought he detect,
ed a certain reck.essness in Lottie’s
freaks. hen going up the mouu
where it was so steep that he
dismounted to lead Alie's horse )
she gailoped on, putting whip to
Floss, who rushed up the rocky
ascent, cearing up pcbole and turf,
over wipe chasms, and along nars
row ledges, where a Single misst p
would have hurled pony and girl
down to instant destruction.
Vane trembled but to hide his
fears, he gave Alice his full atten»
lion
One day he went into the libra
ry, and found Lottie seated on the
window-sill. She was unusually
quiet. She hod been wrtehmg
Alice, who, with book in hand, was
pioinonading on the lawn before,
under the snady trees.
“.She is very beautiful,? said
Vane, looking toward the graceful
figure, “I wonder if she would
marry me ?”
“Vane Winton, haven t you ask
ed her yet!’
“Not yet. Perhaps I shall tu
d »y. Do you think I had better
do so!’
“Mott certainly.” Aud she rRn
off singing merrily
In a short time she was tearing
down the read on Floss at break
neck epeed-
After she had gone, Vane went
out to Alice.
“What ails Lottie V Alice inquir
ed.
• Lottie t 1 do not understand.’
“As she passed me ju t a lew
moments ago to mount her pony, I
spoke to Uer, “Let me go, Alice
May I’’ she snapped, and I noticed
tears iu her eyes. And then she
rode off so recklessly that lam
fearful she will put Floss iu a bad
temper.”
Alice spoke lightly, but Vane's
face paled as he walked back to the
house, and waited anxiously for
Lottie’s return.
Presently he caught sight of
Floss being led slowly back by a
strange man. Then followed a
carriage with two men; one of
whom neld a girlish figure in his
arms.
“It took plaoe down on the river
roaa,’’ explained one of the men to
Vaue. “The girl was riding like
the wind when all at once the pony
made a plunge, and the girl lauded
among the rocks.’’
Mr. ard Mrs. Winton came hur
rying out, aad the greatest excite
ment prevailed. They took Lot
tie into the house, where it was as
certained that one arm was broken
ao<l several ugly cuts and bruises
bad been received.
When Lottie opened her eyes.
Vat.e was at her -ode.
“3o away !' she cried.
“Never, darling, for I love yeu P
“How can you love me anJ mar
ry Alice T" she jionted.
“I wu A9l going to atari/ Aim#.’

•‘Why, Lottie, can it bo that you
are jealous?' said Alic", taking her
baud. “Vaue aud l don’t waut
each other.’'
“I was very jealous,’ coufes-ed
Lottie, “but please don't go awav.'
And he did not. “When you
spoke of marrying Alioe, I did not
care what happened to me.’
•‘But you refused me.’
“1 kuow it, but only to tease
you.’
Just as soon as Lott e recovered
iheie was a quiet wedding, and
Alice was bridesmaid,

QUESTION IN GRAMMAJL
In one of our city schools the
other day the class in English
grammar was discussing the diff
erence between the words “like"
and “love. -
“Now,” said the teacher, *we can
like a tomato, but is it proper to
saj we can love a tomato V
“No, it is not," said a fresh
miss. ' One cannot love a toma
to ‘
“Why notT’ enquired the teach

'•Because, you know, you can
not—you can’/—well you can’t
hug a tomato.’

HIS PECULIAR POSITION.
The sigLt of a strong, healthy
man loafing on Clifford Street yea
terduy with a snow-shovtl eu bis
shoulder was sufficient to attract
attention of every one who passed
him, aud to the inquiry a a to
whether he was searching for a
job of shoveling snow Le replia
ed;
“/ am, air, but I haven’t any
luck iu sinking work. It ie pret
ly late for snow, supposeT
“Well, yon cant look for more
than a foot of snow after the mid
dle of J/ay, even ii this country,
said the other.
•No, I suppose not. If we only
had five or six inches 1 could
make three or four dollars ana get
along somehow. As it ie lam in
a peculiar position*’
‘//ow?”
•Why, all the ready l have i«
locked up in this tbirty-cenf snow
shownl, and no snow to work
on. If I had my money in a lawn
mower or or garden
seeds I miuht realize some urofit,
but now I don't know what I shall
do.'
‘You are not to blame if i l
doesn’t snow. You don’t run
the weathet.
“Tliat’s true,’ slowly replied the
man, ‘but my position i* peculiar,
just the same. People wont give
me credit for my honest indentions.
I need work—l am hungry for
work, but you wait and see how
folks use me.’
Ele knocked at the door at a
private house and a woman ap
peared.
‘Do you want me to shovel off
the snow this morning ?’ politely
asked the stranger, as he held up
his shovfl.
“iVo sir! wos her emphatic res
ponse.
“I will do it very cheap, mad
am e.’
‘Wo matter, you can’t Lave the
job,” she snapped.
“You see how it is,’ obaerved
the man as he returned to the
walk and leaned against a shade
tree with leaves as big as bis
hand. “My capital is lccked np in
this shovel, and no propeeta of
snow for six months Considering
all circumstances, would you like
to advance me ten cents till De
cember V
The citizen thought he would.
There was something about the
cirtoamstanses worth tire tunes
that money.
HE KNEW WHAT WAS IN IT.
“No, sir, I hope we shall have
no difliculty in getting joe to
apeak up,” said the attorney, in a
very loud, commanding voice.
“I hope not,” shouted the wi »
ness, at the top of hia lungs.
“Z/ow dare you apeak to mo in
that way ?” cried the lawyer.
“Because I can’t speak any loud
er. sir,' said |he hostler.
“ZZaye you been drinking *’
“Yes sir."
“I should infer so from your
your conduct. Wtiat have you

“Coffee,” hoarsely vociferated
the knight of the stable.
“Something stronger than cof

Don’t look a*, me like that, sit 1”
furiously. “Look at the jury sir!
Did you have something in your
ceffee sir ?”
“Yes, sir.”
“What was its ’
“SDgar.”
“This man is no fool, your Hon*
or—he is worse!” stormed the
counsel. “Now air,” turning to
the witness, “look at me What

The hostler collected his force,
drew a deep breath, and, in a voice
that ceuld have been beard blocks

JOHN T. WILSON, J»-, Publisher
THE CANNY TILDEN,
At one time a well to-. 10 farmer
name into the Executive Chamber
to see o ov. Tiidtu. He was affa
bly received, told to be seated.aud
from a talk about crops tbe con
versation gradually drifted into
politics. The farmer was very in
telligent upon this topic Guv,
Tilden quickly saw that be could
make bin strauger a firm friend.
“Have you any sous?’ be asked.
‘•Yes, four,' replied the stranger.
“There is William, Robert, Henry
and Charles.’
“All .Democrats?’ queried Mr.
Tilden.
“All except William,’ was tbe
reply,
“Have you a notary public in
yonr village t’ asked Mr. Tilden.
“I don t know that we have;'was
the answer.
After a further conversation
the stranger left. In a few days
there came to the village post office
a large official envelope addressed
to William—tbe Republican son.
It was openeu in the family circle
and found to contain a notary’s
commission, with a "huge seal, and
William’s name finely engrossed
as a notary public for tbe village.
To ibis commission was tbe writ
ten autograph of Samuel J. Tilden.
