matrimony as being the only one prop

mended him to the opposite (and un
gratcfuh aex more than It did. ami
Lucy Morrill held as respectful ai
opinion of the institution and Its uianl
fold advantages as Cephas himself
but she was in a very unsettled frame
of mind and not si all susceptible to
wooing. She hud a strong preference
for rhilip Perry and held an opinion,
not altogether unfounded in human
experience, that in course of time
whea quite deserted by Patty Baxter,
hia heart might possibly lie caught on
tile rebound. It was only a chance
but Lucy would almost have preferred
remaining unmarried even to the with

not be at lltierty to accept Philip Perry

In the course of a month the most
ordinary observer could have perceived

no more, hut held his head higher; b!
back straightened; his voice developed
a gruff, assertive note like that of a

tache grow and sometimes. In his most
reckless moments, twiddled the end

And then congratulations began to
pour in. Wus ever marriage so for

the two only children would ceiueiil

The fact that Uncle ltart was a Joiner.

aunt hi at a complete outfit of gill
edged china, a clock and a mahogany

to the young couple a bedroom and a
spare chamber In the "main part,’’
while the Days supplied live geese

positive prodigality. Aunt Abhy trod

“If only I could 'a' looked ahead,'
smiled Uncle Bart quizzically to him
self, “I'd a' had thirteen sons am!
daughters an' married off one of 'on
every year. That would 'a' made Ah
by's good temper kind o' permanent.
Cephas was content too There wa
a good deal In being settled and hav

Cephas did not think of Patty any
longer with bitterness in these days,
lielng of the opiniou Hint she was pun
lulled enough in observing Ids own
growing popularity and prosperity.
"If she should see that mahogany
chamber set going Into the ell I gues
she'd be glad enough to change lie
tune," thought Cephas exultlngly. an
then there suddenly shot through 111
mind the passing fancy, “1 wonder il
she would!" He promptly hsnlsbei
the Infamous suggestion, however, re
enforcing his virtue with the reflection
that tlie chamber set was Phoebe's
anyway, and tlie marriage day up
pointed and the Invitations given mu
anil the wedding cake being baked,
loaf at a time, by Ills mother and Mrs
Day.
Ah a matter of fact. Patty would

she and Mark Wilson were walking
Her promise to marry him was a few
weeks old now, and Ills arm encircled
her slender waist, under the browi
homespun rape. That In Itself was :
new sensation and gave her the del.

who valued her highly and assured In
of his sentiments clearly and frequent

for tier presently, and not long after,
she hoped, for Waltstlll too.
The "publishing” of Cephas and hl>
third choice, their dull walk up tin
aisle of the meeting house before an
admiring throng on Die Sunday when
Phoebe would "appear bride," all this
seemed very tame as compared with
the dreams of this ardent and adven
turous pair of lovers who bad gom
about for days harboring secrets great
er and more daring, they thought, than
had ever been breathed before within
the hearing of Saco water.
CHAPTER XXI.
Love's Young Dream.
IT was not an afternoon for day
dreams, for there was a chill la
the air and a gray sky. Only a
week before the hills itloiig the
river might have been tlie walls of the
New Jerusalem, shining like red gold.
Now the glory had departed, and It
was a naked world, with empty uests
hanging to boughs that not long ago
had been green with summer.
Young love thought little of nature's
miracles, and hearts that beat high aud
fast were warm enough to forget the
bleak wind and gathering clouds. If
there were naked trees were there not
full barrels of apples In every cellar'!
If there was notliiug but stubble in
the fro gen tlelds, why there was plenty
of wheat and corn at the mill al
ready for grinding. The air made
one long for a cheery home aud Are
side, the crackle of a health leg. the
bubbling of a stenuilng kettle, and
Patty aud Mark clung together as they
walked along, making bright Image
of a life together, sung, warm and
happy.
Patty was a capricious creature, hut
all her changes were siiddeu aud en
deartug ones, captivating those win
loved her more than n monotonous and
unrhnnglug virtue. Any little sbowci
with Patty always ended with a rain
bow, that made the landscape more
euc hunting than lief ore. ttf late hei
little coquetries nnd petulances had
disappeared as If by inagie. She had
been melted somehow from irrcspoutil
ble girlhood lulu womanboouaud that
too. by i il,.* .uociii .me' non of a very
ordinary young man who hud no great
gift save that of loving Patty greatly.
Tlie love hnd served Its purpose in an
other wny. 100, for under Its influence
Murk's own manhood Imd broadened
and deepen'd. Ho longed to bind Pat
ty to him for good and all, to capture
the bright bird whose fluttering wings
and burnished plumage so captured his
senses ami stirred hiH heart, but his
innglngH bad (-banged with tlie quality
of bis love, and lie glowed at the
thought of delivering the girl from her
dreary surroniidlugs and giving her the
tenderness, the ease and comfort, the
Innocent gayety. that her nature
craved.
“You won'! fail me, Patty darling?"
lie was saying at this moment. “Now
that our plans are Anally made, with
never a weak point anywhere us far
as I enn see. my heart Is so set upon
carrying them out that every hour of
waiting seems an age!"
"No, I won't fall, Mark; but I ne\
er know the day that father will go to
town until the night before. I can
always bear him making Ids prepare
lions In the barn and the shed, nnd or
dering Wuli till here and there. I Il
ls as excited as if he was going to
Boston instead of Mllltown.”
“The night before will do. I wll
watch tin- bouse every evening till you
hang a white signal from your win
dow.”
“It won't be white." said Patty, wh
would be inh-eliieimis on her deathbed
“My Sunday yo-to ineetin' petticoat i
too grand, aud everything else that w.
have is yellow."
“I shall see It, whatever color It Is
you ciiii be i ure of that!'' said Mark
gallantly. "Then it's decided Hint ncxl
morning I'll wait at the tavern from
sunrise, nnd whenever your father and
Waltstlll have driven up Saco hill I’ll
cotne and pick you up, and we'll be off
like a streak of lightning across the
hills to New Hampshire. How lucky
that Klverboro Is only thirty mile
from the state Hue! It looks like snow
and how I wish it would be something
mure than n flurry, a regular whizzing,
whirring storm that would pack the
roads and let us slip over them with
our sleig-li bells ringing!”
“I should like 1 hut, for they would
be our only wedding bells. Oh. Mark
What if Waltstlll shouldn't go, aftei
all, though I heard father tell her the
be needed her to buy things for Hi
store, and that they wouldn't be back
till after nightfall, .lust to think ot
being married without Waltstlll!”
“You can do without Waltstlll oi
this one occasion, lietter than you chi.
without me,” laughed Mark, pinching
Patty's cheek. "I've given the towi
clerk due notice aud I have a friend
to meet me at his ottlce. He is going
to lend me Ills horse for the drive
home, aud we shall change back thi
next week. That will give us a fresh
horse each way and we'll fly like tin
wiDd, snow or no snow. When wi
come down Guide Board hill that night
Patty, we shall be muu and wife; isn't
that wonderful?”
"We shall be man and wife in New
Hampshire, but not in Maine, you
say," Patty reminded him dolefully.
"It does seem dreadful that we can't
be married In our own state and have
to go dnngllug about with this secret
on our minds day and night, but il
can't be helped. You'll try uot to even
thiuk of ine as your wife till we go to
Portsmouth to live, won’t you?”
"You're asking too much when yon
say I'm not to tlijnk of you as my
wife, for I shall think of nothing else,
but I’ve given you ray solemn prom
lae," said Mark stoutly, “and I'll keep
it as sure as 1 live. We'll be legally
married by the laws of New Haiup
shire, but we won't think of It as a
marriage till I tell your father and
mine and we drive away once more to
gether That time It will be In the
sight of everybody, with our heads in
the air I've got the little house in
Portsmouth all ready, Patty. It's small,
hut it’s In a nice part of the town.
Portsmouth Is a pretty place, hut It'll
t»e u great deal prettier when it has
Mrs. Mark Wilson living in it We
can lie march'd over again in Maine
afterward If your heart is set upon It
I’m willing to marry you In every
state of the Union so far as I am
concerned ”
"I think you’ve lieen so kind and
good and thoughtful, Mark, dear.” said
Patty, more fondly and oieltlngly than
aha had ever spoken to him before,
“and so clever too. I do respect yon
for gettinr that good position In Ports
mouth and being Hide to set up for
yourself at your age. I shouldn't won
der a bit If you were a Judge some
day and then what a proud girl I
shall be!"
Patty's praise was bestowed none
too frequently, and It sounded very
sweet In the young man's ears.
"1 do believe 1 can get on with you
to help me. Patty," he sstd, pressing
her arm m re closely to hts side end
looking down nrdeutly Into her radiant
face. "You re a great deal cleverer
than I am, but i have a faculty for the
business of the law, so my father says,
and a faculty for money making too
And even if we have to begin In a
small way my salary will be a certain
ty. and we’ll work up together. 1 can
see you In a yellow satin dress stilt
enough to 'land stone!**

"What did her old man say when
you told him you could support his
daughter?”
"He wanted to know If she gave up
her Job to marry niti who was going
to support him?

Great Season Is On In Europe;
No Diminishing in Numbers of
American Tourists
London.—Whatever may be the ef
fect of the Mexican trouble on the
vaßt American traveling public latei
in the summer, there have not yet
been any dlscernable signs of dimin
ishing numbers of tourists so far as
England is concerned. All the lead
Ing West End Hotels report a full
complement of visitors from “the
other side.” Socially the season
promises great things. Anglo-Ameri
can hostesses are arranging an elab
orate series of entertainments.
There is a marked revival in the
public subscription ball and the great
est of these eventß will be a monster
fancy dress affair to be held in the
Royal Albert Hall on June 10th. Five
thousand of the most prominent per
sons In Anglo-American and French
society will be present.
The Ball.
The ball is given to mark the cele
bration of One Hundred years ol
peace between America and Great
Britain. The Duchess of Teck is at
the head of the Ladies’ Committee
and Mrs. Page, wife of ehe American
Ambassador, the Marchioness of
Crewe, Viscountess Ridley, Lady Des

siastically.
It Is announced that in the front of
the great organ in the Royal Albert
Hall will be erected a replica of Co

ceiving congratulations from repre
sentatives of the great nations of the
world.
Costumes may represent any period
from the time of Columbus to 1814,
or may Illustrate the purpose of the
ball.
Great Factor.
A great factor In the success of the
coming season Is the large number
of Americans who intend to visit the
country for the Hundred Years of
Peace Celebration. In addition to
ordinary visitors, who will fill our
great hotels, there are many who
have taken houses for the seaeon and
longer. Count and Countess Ladis
law Sieschenyl; the Countess was. It
will be remembered. Miss Vanderbilt
—are at present In London, and are
said 10 be looking Tor a house for a
couple of months. Mrs. George Jay
Gould is coming over with her son
in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs.
Anthony Drexel, Jr. Mrs. Leeds has
taken Florence lardy Nunburnholme's
house in Grosvenor-Square.
Return Home.
Mr. and Mrs. W. Plerpont Morgan
go back to their house in the same
square; Mr. and Mrs. Ogden Reid,
son and daughter In law of the late
American ambassador, are to be in
London for some time; Crewe House
will be tenanted by Mr. and Mre.
James Duke; and Mr and Mrs. Marsh
have taken Warwick Castle. Other
Americans expected very soon are:
Mrs. Ogden Mills, Mr. and Mrs. El
bridge Gerry, Mr and Mrs. Charles
MacVeagh, Mrs. Hrancis Neale Ba
con and her son, and Mr. and Mrs.
Robert K. Livingston There has
been a great demand for homes In
the West Side, and IT the war scare
does not keep patriotic Americans at
home we shall have an nnprecenedt
ed!.v large number here this year.
Mr. Alfred G. Vnnderbllt has al
ready started his coach on the t«m
don-Brlghton road and the popular
ity of the coaching trips is such that
if Mr Vanderbilt had ten coaches he
could not satisfy the demand for
ticket*. Altogether the procpecta are
excellent.

SOME GORILLAS.
An endless gorilla warfare was go
ing on then in those islands as there
is today in Mexico. As a nation we
are too great, too Christian, to sit bv
and see thousands of human beings
annually killed in this gorilla warfare
and not use our best efforts to stop
it.—Ashtabula, 0., Beacon.
"Endless gorilla” is correct; that
beast has no caudal appendage.—Ex

Death in Auto.
