BT SARA LINDSAY COLEMAN. <Coprrlgrht, 1902, by Dally Story Pub. Co.) The sun hung low in tha west, and a breeze from the river stirred the Tines that climbed on the Miller's porch. It was always very quite there late •afternoons, and the Miller, an old man, sat there after the day's hard work was done and watched the Bight settle down. One afternoon, his reverie was broken into by the sound of voices. He looked out to see a man and a woman walking slowly past his home. Both were young. The girl was more than pretty--her charm trans­ cended beauty. It caught the old man's eye Just as it turned heads on crowded city pavements. A faint frag­ rance floated by with her, and as the •Id man leaned from his sheltering Tines the sun glinted and rippled on her bright brown hair. "Tain't nateral to be as goodlookin* as that 'n' jes as big as a fairy," he •aid under his breath like. "Courtin' couples jes naterally take to water." The two had crossed a foot bridge and stepped over the rocks to settle on the large one which projected into (he river. "I wonder, naow," the old man com­ muned with himself, "ef I should go Inf Hit's mighty pleasant out here, m Jes giv* 'em warnin'." He coughed ---a cough that wouldn't have startled • mouse. A moment later he coughed again and vigorously puffed at his old pipe. Then he settled back in his chair, his nostrils twitching with contempt. "Jes books," he muttered. "An' •he be lookln' like a apple blossom leanln' back thar with them good fer aothin' leetle han's clasped loose­ like." The sunset gates unbarred* to let the day through, and the good fer **nothin' leetle han's" were lifted to meet the clasp of stronger ones above her as she sprang to her feet and turned toward the west. "Jes books," he muttered again, as snatches of their talk floated to him. After they passed he got up and knocked the ashes from his pipe. "Hit pears to me," he said reflec­ tively, "that city fellers be degener- atln'--a-talkin' books ter a gal like that" "Gosh, Marier," said the Miller the next afternoon, "ef them young folks don' beat all! Back agin 'n' talkin' bout picters! Pears like they've eome a considerable step ter talk picters!" "'Tain't likely," said the old man as he sat on his porch the third after­ noon, and looked anxiously up the road, "that they'll come agin. I 'low they air a-visitin' up at the mill Presi­ dent's. I heerd a party war up thar." His eyes searched the road that wound from the river to the hill, and be sighed with satisfaction as he sat back in his chair, for the airy white figure on the brow of the hill sil­ houetted against the enkindled clouds was The Leetle Apple Blossom. The days rounded through per- fumod dawns alive with birds, and middays of shadows and quiet winds to the afternoons--wonderful after­ noons in which the sun, big and blood red, slipped slowly down the sky; golden afternoons, for the man and the maid came always to the rocks In the river. x The two had become the central point of the old man's consciousness. He thought of them by day and dreamed of them at night Little personal traits of the girl's reached out to him like caresses. Her • • • man and a woman walking slowly past *ulck way of leaning forward as she talked, the movements of her slender bands, her laugh with its rippling run of mirth, the lift of her chin. From a long-gone summer he re­ voked a memory that lingered like a subtle aroma in his heart--a memory and a grave. He had dwelt with Soli­ tude, it had taught him many things, and as their light talk drifted on and on he grieved that the thoughts pi their hearts were never uttered. "The pity o' hit, the pity o' hit," he moaned. "The Leetle Apple Blossom loves him, Lord, she loves him--an' he's jes tumbled into a bed o' roses with the dew on 'em. Somethin' is a-keepin' back the words, though, *n' the leetle gal jes has ter wait But when her lips trimble 'n' she laffs, low like, Lord, I want ter git my ole han's on him." Time had been reckoned from the afternoon that the young people came into the Miller's life, it was now counted from the day that they went out of it •Two evenin's," he would say, "three--four." The lonely little house by the rlVer; the pathos of the quiet figure whose I His words came in a rush. face wore always a look of strained expectancy, whose eyes were on the hill. One afternoon a shadow fell on the Miller's porch.* "It's me," said his near neighbor, sitting on the step, and putting down a white bowl she carried. "Be you expectin* company?" Silence. Men have such refuges. "The mill's a-grindin, well, ain't it?" Silence. "'Tain't good fer men ter live alone," the neighbor sprang to her feet angrily. "Be you disgruntled?" she asked. "I be," grimly. "Then I'll jes take myself *n* my boneset home." The old man reached out and took the boneset. "Swallowin* war better 'n' ex- plainin'," he told himself feebly. "Anything war better 'n' explaining But there came an afternoon-^-' laughing heart of the river, opal mist of the hills, and joy in an old man's soul. She was coming--she was com­ ing. She came slowly, and as she neared the river the Miller saw that she was alone, and that dejection was in every curve of her sweet young body. She crossed the bridge, sat down on the rock and leaned her chin on her hand. The Miller watched her longingly. As one comforts a child whose hand is sore, he would have comforted her. Lost in reverie, she failed to see the young vigorous figure that swung down the hill. The Miller saw it He knew It well, and as it turned as if to mount the hill, he rose from his chair and shouted: "Hi, there!" And again, "Hi, there!" "You be a ole fool, Leander Ship- man," he panted, as he sank back into his chair. "A dorgorn fool.' In spite of the fact, he chuckled gleefully. The man having turned and seen the white, still girl on the rock, ran down the decline, crossed the bridge at a bound and sank down beside her. His words came with a rush. It Beemed he feared he might not say them if he stopped: The girl listened quietly. So quiet­ ly that the old listener's hands clasp­ ed and unclasped themselves nervous­ ly. But at last she was talking. "Just a year ago," she said, "a girl met a man who didn't belong in the society that was her natural element At first his indifference piqued her. She had not known many men who were indifferent to her. We might call her an edition de luxe. Life had been very good to her--at least she thought so until she met the man After she knew him she found out just how empty the old, gay, smart life was. She wanted to live his strong, vigorous life, to bring to him what he lacked, warmth, Intimacy, a woman's love--but she couldn't un­ asked--and so her prayer was he might not know." "Down here they met again--and parted. He held her fingers and said good-bye to her. She was billowy chiffon, lace and perfumed silk to him--nothing more. He thought she couldn't stand life's battle, that bare walls would crush her spirit, and so he left her--to live it out as best she could--with mocking and laughter-- and despair." „ The girl got to her feet and stood looking out over the darkening land­ scape. When she turned the w*n stood beside her. He made no attempt to defend him­ self, but his eyes clung to hers. "You don't deserve me," she said, severely. "No," humbly. "Nor this." She put her white arms about his throat "I'll be dorgorn ef you ain't a-cry- in'," said the old man, soft-like, to himself. • They turned. Heart of the leaping river, purple dusk of the hills and peace in an old man's soul. IT SPOILED HIS HONEYMOON. Happy Groom Mixed with Patent Med­ icine Terrible Example. There is one man w!ho recently de­ manded an interview with the editor of his home paper who is deserving of universal sympathy. He was a re­ cently made benedict "My name, sir, is Lambkin," he cried on being ushered into the edi­ torial room. "I was married last week." "Let me offer my congratulations, Mr. Lambkin," said the editor. "I am glad to see you. By the way, we pub­ lish in this morning's paper quite a full account of your wedding." "Yes, sir, I saw it" 'You have come, perhaps, to order some extra copies," said the editor. "I have come, sir, for personal sat­ isfaction. Your reporter asked for photographs of Mrs. Lambkin and my­ self to use in describing the wedding, sir." "Yes, didn't he " interjected the editor. "He said he would have engravings made from them and place them in the article he wrote about the af­ fair." "Yes. That was done," said the editor. "And some lop-eared, bow-legged printer in this office mixed up the por­ traits, sir," continued the ruffled Mr. Lambkin. "You publish me this morn­ ing, sir, in your advertising columns as a barber who had suffered for fifteen years from a broken back and a sore throat and had been cured by twen­ ty-seven bottles of Dr. Billjaw's Com­ pound Extract of Hankus Pankus, and you placed the portrait of that con­ founded barber in your account of my wedding, sir. You can stop my paper^ sir. And now will you show me the typesetting department of the office? I am on the warpath this morning, sir, and 1 am going to find the man who mixed those illustrations." HE WA8 8CARED WHITE. Strange Effect of Terror on the Negro Cook of a Ship. Fear of death in the midst of a storm which threatened to send the schooner Fred A. Small to the bottom is said to have changed Herm Blanco, a full-blooded negro, into a white man. The change lasted three days. Then, so the story goes, Blanco's natural color asserted Itself once more, and he resumed his place on shipboard as a man of ebony. "I had heard of a negro turning white from fright," said Captain Z. R. Thompson of the Small, "but it was tue first time I ever saw such a trans­ formation. Ordinarily Blanco is as black as night, but while the storm lasted he was almost as white as snow." In a wrecked condition the schooner came into port yesterday, and was towed to drydock. Three weeks ago aLe left Valparaiso with a cargo of wood, birds, and monkeys. Six days later she ran into a Bevere storm. For four days and nights her crew was kept on deck. On the fifth day top­ mast and bowsprit wert by the board. All this time Blanco, the cook, is said to have grown whiter and whiter.-- New York Mail and Express. ax Illinois News Items- State Happenings Succinctly Told by Our Special Correspondents MONTGOMERY TEACHERS' PAY.

The problem of how to keep young, or to keep from looking old, has en­ gaged the thoughts of both men and women ever since the world began. Women especially have shown a deep interest in the vexatious matter, for their influence with men has always depended much on physical freshness and beauty. Numerous writers have contributed their views as to defying the riddle of the ravages of time. The latest well-known writer to discourse on the familiar theme 1b Max O'RelL Without giving a recipe for the pres­ ervation of beauty, M. Blouet drops many useful hints as to the causes which lead to the unnaturally early disappearance of youth in some peo­ ple. Bad temper and a lack of humor are, In his opinion, the two greatest enemies of youth and beauty. Max O'Rell thinks that with the aid of a sense of humor and good temper a woman can be young and beautiful until 50. After 60 he can offer no ad­ vice on the subject Municipalizing Industries. The Italian government is favoring the municipalization of public utilities on the principle already adopted largely and successfully in Milan. The schedule of Bervices that may be municipalized embraces water, light­ ing, tramways, busses, baths, ware­ houses, abattoirs, markets, bakeries, electric power derived from rivers, bill-sticking, the conveyance of cof­ fins to cemeteries and the establish­ ment of night refuges for the desti­ tute. f- No service may be municipalized without a referendum. If the pro­ posal is rejected it cannot be brought forward again for three years. Com­ pulsory powers are given to buy any private company's works after the expiration of five years from the time of the original concession. Employes may be given a share of municipal­ ized industries. Pensions for Employes. H. H. Vreeland, president of the Metropolitan street railway of New York, has arranged a pension plan whereby those who have been at least twenty-five years in the service of that corporation and have reached the age of retirement will receive from 25 to 40 per cent of their annual sal­ ary. The system includes all em­ ployes whose wages are less tha? $1,200 a vear 8T. PAUL'S CHURCH AT ODELL.
