Such a scene was being soacted on a Jovely night in June, 1550, in the little town of Hapton, Wisconsin The glow ing fire of the sunset had died slowly out in the west. It had turned to tos sing flame, the rippled water of the river that flowed on throagh the val ley till it looked like an overflow from some infernal region, and it flung. the shadow. of the iren bridge far wp the river's bank. It had burned among the fir trees on. the hill above and bad at last lifted itself altogether from the earth, leaving behind it a 'tender afterglow, as its only protest against the growing supremacy of the moon, which, during the Jong, hot hours of the afternoon, had stolen far into the sky. "Ihe night every mowuent became breathless and still. AH... over the country, the hush and the heat lay like a pall? On the verandah of one of the larg est houses in the place sat a young man and a young irl, Charlie Breyman was the son of the principal man in Haptonta cotton spinner and manufacturer, dnd up to the time of which we are writing, when he was twenty-two years of age, had assisted bis father in the mill; but lately he had been struck i "gold. fever' and on the following Finotning wad to leave his-home- for California, : Mabel Davis, his companion, was the daifghter of a large storekeeper of the: town she was the belle of Hap ton; tall, dark, and, better than all, was as good ns she was beautiinl. Charlie, from where he sat, could just make out the outline of Mabel's face, and the quick glance of her dark eves. And thus they sat for a long time, Mabel was the one to break the silence. "You will think of me sometimes out there, Charlie ?'" she whispered, as she drew up to him. "Think of you - sgmetimes ? Bless you, my darling, 1 shall never cease to think of you; my mind were base, my heart cold, should 1 forget love like yours." 'Yes, but it is so far away, out these. So far, so far!" "Do you suppose | shall see any girl, half as lovely as my first love ? he asked." "Mabel, I swear on these lips to be true to you." "Oh, Charlie, forgive me for the passing doubt," she said, between her sobs. "But we shall be so far apart; you out there and 1 here; and you are certain to meet with other girls, and it may be bard for you to remember me." "Mahel,"' said Charlie, slightly ir: ritated, "why should you doubt me at the last moment ? Do you wish to put an end to our engagement "You know better, you ought to know that--"' "That all your futwe liie is bound up in me. That is what, you. wish ton say, my slarling, only you are too bashinl to do so," he added with a Doctor Said Incurable Excruciating Pains in the Back and Loins -- A Plaster Cast Necessary for Temporary Relief --How a Cure Was Found in » DR.

So they exchanged rings. "Promise me, wy darling, that you will ever wear it," he said as he put it upon her finger. #1 promise you to keep it there as jong as you are faithful to me." "And this hall always remain up- on mine'! Then ones again they vow- ed to be true to each other, as long as they lived.s Their lips again met to seal the compact. The. distant clock struck ten. "I must leave you now, Charlie; 1 did not think it was so late.' Her mother came to the door and enid, "Mabel, it is time for vou to eme_ in." \ : LY es, mother; T am coming." "lust one MOMSEN! More, Mrs Davis," pleaded Charlie. "You know we may not see each other again for years. "A few more blissful moments, a last lingering embrace, heart pressed to henrt, lips to lips, then the last words were spoken and they parted. Mabel stood: at the garden gate and watched him go smgng down the lane. She loved him with all the fer- wor of her young heart, and had been able to see no fault in him, when others, older id ~ HOE "wise; hak termed him gay and fickle; but in this last parting, there had arisen doubts that she could not drive away. He Was going away for years: the Lord only knew whether they should = ever meet again. And then chiding herself for her doubts she went to her room, and prayed long and earnestly for the heloved one. The following morning the coach bearing him away passed the house early. She stood watching it at the door, and cawght one brief glance of the bright, handsome fac that was all the world to her. Then he was gone. The days and months passed on. Charlie's lgtters at first were fre quent and loving, then they became cooler, and farther and farther apart It was well known that he had suc- coded beyond even his most ardent expectations at the mings. and that he-was quickly amassing the fortune he had gone ont in quest of. But he never wrote one word of returning to the faithful Mabel. Then his letters stopped altogether. One young man from Hapton re turned and married his faithful love, but he brought no word, ne token to Mabel; only the brief, general news that Charlie was "doing famous." So Mabel waited; hoping against hope that he was true, and keeping her trust in him still in spite of his long silence and apparent coldness. The girls in the village shook their heads. Many a young man, far worthier than the fickle one, woukl gladly have wooed and won the Tove iy and good girl, but her answer to all 'was the same She was engaged to Oharlie Breyman, snd could not give him up, ave at his own request Then there came news to Haptow of his having removed to San Francisco and of him baving married a rie widow out there For a time the san shine of Mabel's life departed She kept up all outward appearance, went about hee social life as usual, but the Nght of hope had died out of her eyes, the bloom of happiness faded from ber cheeks, One "day there came to Hapton a gtranger, a banker from Milwaukee, a young man of worth and. goodness, to spend his summer vacation. 3 fore it was half over;--he became acs quainted with Mabel, and asked her to be his wife. She answered "Yes." she had only known" Mr. Mitchell for a short time, but she had discovered the ring of the true metal, Her form: er love was dead and gone; she eontla not now have maszried Charlie Brey- man, even had he been true to her. Four long years had passed sin they parted. : "I will. marcy you, Archie," she said, "if yon will take me, after you know the past." 'Then she told him all. "Lot the past bury the past," he said. "We will live for the future My darling I will make you far hap pier than ever he could or would have done," So there was 8 quiet wed- ding at the tittle country church. Archie Mitchell took kis wife to Mil: waukoe ana' they lived on Prospect avente in a pleasant home. Altar a time they heard news of the wander er. He had returned to Wisconsin, a widower; - His wife had died in San Francisco. "No dowint he is coming after you, my darting,"' said Archie, with a merry laugh. She tossed her head disdainfully, thinking of the past. "Were I not vour dear wife, Archie, and had not discovers your worth, he might come a dozen times, and still have to go away without me. He dropped out of my life long, long agn." Archie was wight. Charlie Breyman, sot having heard of Mabel's marriage, had come to seek her. His fickle heart had returned to its early love. Remembering how deep and true bad been her love for him, he fangied her as pining sull in secret, for himsell and for the past. It was at a recep- tion at a friend's house that they met. as he had stayed in Milwaukes for wn few days, | before going on to his countiy home... He was standing nea: the door, conversing with a friend, when his sitention was suddenly ar punted by the sight of Mabel, who was beautifully attired in white lk, i arm of a tall, Why less me, that's Mabel Davie 1 he said. "Surely. 1 %annot be that wes," rejoined friend: 'she is mow she wile of Mr. Mitchell, the rich banker, --~that gentleman with her" Charlie Breyiman was dambiounded. Jhis Jips pated; he was so completely bewildered at he unexpected torn evemis had taken, as to murmur a few words of bitter re gret for the past, of what he haa come back for, and the hopes be had been fondly cherishing. She smiled quietly, betraying no emotion at oll, no apparent remem: brane "Surely, Mabel!" he seid in his agitation--"1 beg your pardon, Mrs Mitchell--surely you have pot alto gether forgotten the past, our deep love for each other." * "When you promised to love me for ever, and to TelurR As SOON as pos sible to make we your wife," she said lightly "Ruch promises with you were only written in water." "Mrs, Mitchell * Mrs, Mitchell 1 where are you? Oh, bere ! cried a hevy- of young ladies, entering the conservatory. 'You promised to sing for us; won't you please keep yowr promise ?" So they took her away to the piano, where she sat cown and took off: her gloves "1 will sing vou a little song, that I bave not sung for years." she said Charlie angry, but pot able to tear himself away, stood and listened to the rich, mellow voice, that had charmed him so often in former days, a8 she sang. 4 "Then vou'll remember we." % -------------------- American League Ball Starts.

The gilver-toned bells of Holy Trinity church began to ring at sunrise this morning, reminding all within hear ing that in this quaint town, far from the crush of the busy world, was born, 368 years ago, England's sup treme genius. An impressive ceremony was held at the church this afternoon, when the mayor, the trustees ol Shakespeare's birthplace, members of the Shakespeare club and various de putations from sc hools came to lay their floral tributes on the srave. The vicar received each wreath separately from the donors and set them in plate while the organ played "The Legend of the Avon and the Light of Love," the traditional melody, said to aave been Shakespeare's favorite gong. To-night the play, "Twelith Night," evokes special interest on ac count of the appearance of Miss Ellen Terry and other players of note A Good Thing.
