In fact, a. little regret stole into her heart as she walked about the place where she had been so independent, so respected; and wondered wnether she should be happy in the future. After this, they walked around .the garden awhile, and the day of the wedding was set, leaving time to find a. new matron for the establishment. Miss Dwight was certainly, as dom- estics say, ‘bettering herself;’ but she was not elated. ‘Let the romance come afterwards,if it eun,’ said Mi=s Dwight. ‘That is moderateâ€"sensible.

The elder people seemed as happy as they, and how young. . At last they sat down very near :0 Dr. Emory with their backs to his sand burrow, and he saw a. man’s brown band drop upon a little white one and hold it tight. Without showing himself he co’uld not see their faces. The boys playedv about, dug.’ with them little Spades and filled with white sand those painted pails which all picnickers buy at the seaside. They A man’s tones, those of two lit'e BOyS, and a women’s. Surely he knew the last speaker. He peeped from under his big Panama hat and saw Dora; She had brought the Ellwood boys down for a holiday, agtheir uncles request, and he had come also. Dr. ‘Emory guessed who the gentleman was, for he had-had the ease of these boys laid before him, and was looking for two orphans to filli their places when they should be gone, but the presence of Mr.' Ellwood gave him ofi‘ence. ‘It has quite the air of a. family party,’ he sail. l How long his reverie had lasted he did not know, when merry voices sounded in his ear. That afternoon he took a long, long ride to the sea shore, and stabling his horse at the hotel walked down to the jbeach. ‘The season’ was over. The caterers expected only a little chance custom. It was a day when driving clouds made it cool enough to be pleasant. There he sat down behind a big mound of sand washed up by the sea and thought of Maria, and how he used to oftln kiss the back cf her neck ‘ because the two little curls looked so cunning, and how she thought him handsome; how dear they were to each other. Dr. Emory triea ‘60 laugh, but he wainot happy. ‘Of ccurse not,’ said Mis§ Dwight. ‘Bub you remarked in your ofle‘!’ no me that (of course) you and I had done with romance long ago.’ l This was after the new matron arrived and was being drilled in her duties by Miss Dwight, who calmly said before everyone 2 ‘You see I’m to be married shortly.’ Once he even remonst-rated, saying : ‘Do you- kuow, poor Nellie never talked like that; nor my dear Maria.’ -'Sbe is deuced practical,’ said poor DEEmory to himself. 'Buy good things,’ she said. ‘Whab is the use of getting a. carpet that will fade soon, or china. that chips; and silver makes a table look well. Be- sides, the two things about 9. house belong the widowâ€"if I should be left.’ Méanwhile Dr. Emory called ever}; afternoon and consulted with Dora. as to the new parlor carpet and the china. They talked together awhile. :‘n' gathered‘that he was what might be called a. poor man. He lingered after the boys had come and gone. He came on the morrow again and again.

The exchange was built ir.a most thorough manner and cost the Harrison International Company over $26,000. The Southwestern Company secures the plant at less than 30 per cent. of cost. Its failure is attributed to the fact that only one exchange can be operated successfully in any one communityhand that rates charged by the Harriscn Company, $3 ‘and $2 per month, were far below the cost ;of operating. The Southwestern Company ’can use to advantage a large part of the plant but the telephoms, bells and switchboards will be destroyed. The Southwestern Telephone Company operates in the territory generally known as that of the Erie Telephone Company. A Topeka, Kan., specie] states that the opposi- tion telephone plant in that city, costing the promoters $50,000. was sold out under '8 Judgment of $35,000 to the company operat- ing the Bell pfant at $8,500.-â€"Bosto Tran- script. desperate struggles for existence, this opposition exchange has passed into the hands of the Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone Com- Arkanas and Texes.
