The breath of it brought back to Pen the August day, the August night, so curiously linked with this supreme moment.

It was an action The monntiln murder case was up before the court on Saturday again, when Borne surprising developments were revealed. It will be remembered that Njleon Miller (colored) was convict ad of being the chief criminal in the plot which resnlted In the explosion and lose of several lives on the Wilkesbarre mountain a year or more ago, the charge being murder in the first degree. The conviction was based mainly on the testimony of Frank Shaff ar, also colored, who swore that he (Shaffer) touched the electric button which caused the fatal explosion and that Miller was the one who planned the crime. Effjcts have recently been made to secure a new trial for Miller. Shaff ar himself has keen held In j*11 for complicity In the crime. List evening he sent for his attorneys, Messrs. Shea and McGovern, who went to the jail with Notary Pnbllc Jones, when Shaffer made a statement to the effeot that all of the testimony agalnbt Miller which he swore to at tha trial was false, that the detectives had secured his signature to the oonfesslon whlsh they had used while be was drunk, and that they promised to give him $1,000 and a tioket to California. Shaffer was taken into conrt this morning, when his latest statement was presented. Judge Bennett ordered Siaffar'a release on $60 ball and also ordered the release of Mary Kern, a colored woman who has been held tor complicity in the case. Her husband broke in. "You see, sir, I know your word goes a long way with the critics. Managers, confonnd them, are roled by them.

Watchman Mitchell discovered the flames befo.e they had gained ranch headway, and sonnded the fire gong located at the mill. A few moments afterward, an alarm was sent in to the electrio light station from box 56. The fire companies were on hand promptly. The Eagles attached to the plug at the corner of Market street, and the Niagaras to the ping on Tompkins street. Later the Meehanios and Weet PlHstons ariived, and got streams on the fire, the latter securing a good one from the Pennsylvania (lug at Oak street. The Eaglas' engine was finally placed In operation, furnishing good streams for the Eagles, Niagaras and Mechanics, and the firemen worked liked "I could uever have my peas blossom," Pennington cried, drawing her to him and kissing the tears from her The small fingers holding it conld barely encompass the stents.

Oh, the hound, tho hound!" he said, flinging on a street garb with reckless haste. Yesterday's heat was intensified, though the sun no longer shone.

From the seat opposite another woman looked in longing silence across at her treasures. The flower bearer caught the glance, felt the wistful appeal of its quick withdrawal, smiled a little, deftly parted the cluster and laid the larger part in her neighbor's lap, saying: "You mean poor Martha. I don't want to rob her, indeed I don't, sir. She's a good lot, much too good for me. But now I've got a real chance—that is, with a $100 string to it—and I do want to take it." Our Church. LOCAL CHRISTIAN END EAVORERS. "Onr church" ought to be talked about more. "Our members" ought to be considered oftener and loved more loyally. If the church, in its pastor or membership, have infirmities, bear with them bi avely and say not a word to the outside world. The church is not an institution to be criticised or enjoyed at pleasure. You are part of the church. If one member of this body be lacking, it is not yours to complain, bnt to make up in yourself that which is needful. If the" ear be slow, the eye must be qnick. This natural law applies perfectly to religions life. In the light of this indubitable tiuth see how foolish church quarrels, petty strivings and vainglorious ambitious become.

It stood wide and through it in and out went tht* stout German couple from the floor below, carrying the rooms' poor plenishing to their own domain. At a meeting of the executive committee of the Tri-Cjuuty Caristlui Endeavor Union, held In 8cranton on Friday afternoon, It was decided to hold the next aeml annual convention In this city on Friday, May 23. It is not yet known in which of the churches the convention will be held She was asking something preposterous. She knew it. Pennington knew it He wrote on doggedly for a half minute with downcast eyes, quite as though he had not heard her. He knew, though, better than through eyesight, that the new, strange splendor was dying out of her face, leaving it wanner, more haggard than before. And somehow he began to choke, his heart to knock furiously against his stout ribs. The noises of the street cumo dim and blurred to his ear. He set his teeth hard one seoond, then said: "When shall I come? About 8 or half past?" "Say what you mean and say it out Claims He Was Not Guilty of Murder in the First Degree. plain." "I am sure you have seen them growing."Just this: Take the play. You can make a fortune out of it.

Then she passed out of this chronicle forever—as an actuality, that is; to the end she is potential. The other gave a half gasp over this sudden largess. She tried to speak, but only a broken murmur got past the lump that had risen in ber throat at sight of the bright blossoms.Pen's heart stood still at the sight.

The committee having in charge,the work of arranging for the State convention to be held in Scranton thle year has secured Bev. Dr. Francis E.

I have played in the most cursed luck There was no hope of saving the mill, and all energies were bert on keeping the fl imee from spreading to the surrounding property. On the east side of the mill, with bat a narrow driveway between, was a shed containing planed lumber and mouldings valued at $5,000. On the lower side was the glazing house, containing glass worth $2,500, and several other frams » shops. The west side was lined with piles of lumber. At one time, when a breeze oame, It seemed as though some of the surrounding property would certainly be destroyed, but fortunately the wind went down and with the several good streams of water, danger in this direction was averted, nothing outside of the mill being burned.

They had known her barely by sight, not even her name, only that she smiled always at the baby in his mother's arms if they met alone upon the stairs and hurried by it with heedless eyes if perchance her husband bore her company. So they gathered that she loved him and he was jeal ous ii sne smiled even on a baby or o bird. The news oannct be said to be surprising, having been expected for some time, bnt it is nevertheless sorrowful, for Dr. MoAnnlty was one of the brightest and most prominent clergymen in this seotion of the State, and his taking away in the prime of life is greatly to be regretted. y Pea blossoms! Had she not seen them —acres and acres carpeting Carolina cornfields, making delicately faint all the fine, summer air? When there is proper church life, the pastor is not burdened with the sole responsibility. He is not the church. He aloue cannot create church life. He has been appointed of God as the head of this family, to be loved and honored and supported. But God has not rolled npon him the burden of tho success of the church; that is yours to bear in colaboring with him and with the One whe said, "One is your master, even Christ, and all ye are brethren."—William T. Ellis. It was something earlier—twilight indeed had hardly fallen—when Pennington found himself in a poor, bare, little parlor so far over on the west side that from its windows you looked up and down the North river. It was qijite at the top of a tall building. With the outlook and the clean, fresh river air a very little money might have made it dear and homelike. Pen knew now why it was not, why the windows were undraped, the floor spread with ugly, cheap matting, the walls bare; nowhere any ornament save the glass of pea blossoms upon the bare mantelshelf. On their painted wings she crossed in one small minute the thousand miles between, and saw in clear sunlight the wide, low plantation house, the sighing pine woods, far in the distance a blue mountain rim. Sunshine lay over it all, sunshine that stole into and somehow transfigured her face. "I am not guilty of mnrder in the first degree. Nobody ever asked me in the right way to tell what I knew of the murder, but I am not guilty, Tae blood that was found on the window sill was my blood. Taat came when she hit me on the hand with a chisel and tried to kill me. They wanted me to tell who killed her. I oould not tell them just how It happened. They did not ask me In the right way.

When she pinned the flowers at the throat of the black gown that would have been shabby had it not been so well brushed and well fitting, it seemed as though the heat and burden of her dreary life were lifted, a free soul left to walk upright and thank God. The case of Charles A Reeves vs. the Wllkesbarre and Wycm'ng Valley Traeflon Company, was begun before Judge Savage tn court room N D. 1 on Friday and went to the jury about 3 o'clock. The plaintiff, who aued for $5,000 damages, was driving a milk wagon in the summer of 1893 at tbe corner of North Canal and Batler streets, Wilkesbarre, and his wagon was struck by an electric c*r and wrecked. Beeves was out about the face with flying glass fed his eyesight permanently injared. The accident, it was alleged, was due to the ne gleot of the motorman, hence the suit. The plaintiff was on Saturday awarded a verdict of $1 by the juiy after they had been ont all night trvlns to agree. The Altar of Private Prayer. While the fire was at its height, an exalting incident occurred. Charles McCanna, Louis Selhel, Jr., and Mike Sullivan bad hold of the Niagara nozzle and were playing npon the west side of the building when suddenly the side fell over. The men jumptd with all possible haste, and all escaped bat McDauna, who was caught by the leg beneith the burning timber. _ Dozens of willing hinds went immediately t j his rescue, and in a few m kin tee he was released.

Since then he bad made his headqiar ten at his old home in Scranton, where his mother and brother, Mr, J. S. McAnulty, the only surviving members of the family, reside at 301 Madison avenue. Much of the time, however, he spent at Clifton Springs md at other health resort. For • month past the worst has been feared, and three weeks ago he was taken to the Easton Sanitarium In hop* of prolonging his life Mrs. Eton presented with a little smile, "My husband, of whom I hope you will one day hear a great deal." All they knew was she was gone and had said she would never come back. It was blinding summer. White hot glare filled all the streets, with no breath of air to stir the loftiest flag upon its staff. Yet the pea blossoms held their beads up cheerily, so cheerily indeed that their wearer, unconsciously bathing her soul in their freshness, gave back its radiance in her face. Presently she turned into a big doorway, climbed flight after flight of dark, winding ■tain, all a-quiver with the throbbing of huge presses, and at last came out into an airy region of comparative peace, where many men in shirt sleoves sat about at many desks, with a lurid litter of paper, pencil, paste, scissors and ■mall boys pervading the intermediate •paoe. Pen was glad that the other merely nodded and stood stock still three feet away. "She followed us last night, has followed him this morning, poor fool," Pennington said as he went away with "Cynthia's Sacrifice" burning in his pocket. In the handsome, sullen fool he had recognized one hanger on of a dashing ballet dancer, one, too, who spent money like water till his pocket was empty. No dollar of it but was minted from the wife's brain. Pen had never before comprehended why, with her income, sho had found it necessary to wear one stuff gown the year round and went gloveless all through the pleasant weather. "That will do, Mm.

Word went about freely behind the backs of hands that nobody else would dare thus ait immobile through two precious morning hours, especially with the "old man's" humor an edge and the devils all hot foot bowling for oopy. The others envied but dared not imitate him. Pennington had conquered a following several thousand strong. The old man realised that The Blazer would much better pay him to do nothing for it than risk forcing him to work for a rival sheet sob. After a minute he said thickly, "1 see you despise me for this, but really you will be doing her a kindness"— The Bills Sent In By the Barring-Mc- "What do you take me for? Is this C last year office?" the old man began in his choicest roar. Something in PenV face stopped him. He dropped his eye:-, drummed hard with the ruler on top of hie desk and said: "Maybe you'd bettei go, too, nnd look ont for poor Mrs. Eton. No doubt she's better off so, bu: I'd like to have everything done decent ly for her, and she told me once that outside the office here she had nobody alive to look to." Sweeney Detective Agency Regarding the oritloiem of one or two papers with reference to the Birring defective agency for drawing considerable sums of money from the county treasury in connection with ferreting cut recent murder cases, oounty commissioner Patrick T. Norton said ti the Klmlra Telegram representative: "Yju know that it was on the recommendation of the court thu »e hired the Barring detective agency. Crne, we wete not instructed to hire this agency In particular, but we knew of none better, except the Pinkertons, which I now very much doubt has done «ny better work than that performed by Barring and his men. In order, however, to obtain the beet as cheap as possible, we oommunloated with the Plnksrtons, who Informed us that their terms were $9 per day per man. We then consulted with Mr. Barring, and he agreed to do the work for $6 per day per man and expenses To s ow you that we have not been in any way extravagant, and that we have accounted for everything, you can copy the Birring agency's bill." "I know it," Pen said savagely. Good literature to the extent of 76,000 or 100,000 pieces in the shape of papers, magazines and books was distributed last year by the Chicago Qood Literature exchange. ■ With a sick spasm of disgust Pen admitted to himself that a goodlier person never rode among press of knights or made a football of a woman's heart. The other went on as though Pen had not spoken. "Martha is the best woman alive, but our marriage was a big mistake—for both. You see, we lived in the same house. One night upon the street a fellow followed her. I happened to come by and knocked him into the gutter, for though I'd never spoken to her I'd seen her for three months every day and knew how straight she was. When I drew her band through my arm to take her home, I felt it tremble and looked down there in the electric light to see her blushing and beautiful. You are a man, sir, and don't need to be told how such things flatter one. I saw she"— Windish was then led away by the Sherift, and taken to the county jail. "There it is," said the fox, "and though I'm a bit hungry I won't a6k you to divide. Just walk up and help yourself." PENNSYLVANIA CO. BLACKSMITHS. The husband smi.'ed in vacuous content as his wife set her poor best chair for Pen, so placing it that the river air came full in his face. After a little space of inconsequent talk, throughout which the house's master stood leaning against the open window frame, he said with a tinge of impatience: A Christian Endeavor society of 00 members exists among the soldiers at Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, Trtr. Out of it Lave come a Sunday school and a midwwk gospel meeting. Many conversions have also been effected. (York Will be Done by the Day Hereafter, The prisoner's attorneys said that they were+ery muih surprised at the statement made by Windish. They said that he had never eo much as intimated to them any connection with the crime, and they were not aware that he wonld make any snch statement. They stated also that they would appeal the case to the Supreme Instead of by Contract The ground hog advanced to seize the bait, but before his nose touched it he found his fore feet in a trap. —4£or a number of years the blacksmith »ork of the Pennsylvania Coa Company Vminea has been done by contractors, the latter ownlDg the outfit, finding help and dotng the work at a fixed price per mor.th Now these contractors have been notified by the company to set a prioe upon their tools, the company purposing on the first of April to bny the same and have the work done by the day He was an odd fish, was Pennington, as full of quips and cranks as of genius and good fellowship. Toward womankind his habit of mind was feudal. Women were to be defended, protected, worshiped—"in their place." When they came out of it, especially into a newspaper office, what word could sum his misliking? "Alas, buf I'm a gone ground hog!" he cried after a vain struggle to free himself. Pen went, trD find only such poor, charred wreck of humanity as made recognition out of the question. One of them, though, had been Martha Eton. Her name was among the passengers of the ill fated car. Moreover the agent remembered perfectly her coming barely in time, her wan face and heavy eyes. He \Va» Called. "Yes, it does look that way," replied the ff)x as he seized and devoured the bait. "But what am I to do?" "Remember, Martha, It's very good of Mr. Pennington to come. We must not take too mnch of his evening." A dealer in stuffed animals, who al so kept a few live creatures for sale, gave his shop boy, who was permitted to sell the staffed specimens, orders to call him when any ono asked for any of the living animals. Jonrt. "Dunno. I let you in on the ground floor and have nothing further to say about it." "Indeed, ho is good; nobody knows it quite so well as I do. That is why I—it seems such imposition, really," with a pitiful little tremulous*laugh. "I am a wretched conspirator when it oomes to acting out my treason." Pennington turned upon him savagely. "Silence, if you pleasa I know quite as much of you and your affairs as I care to endure." FOR AN ODD FELLOW ORPHANAGE He was, however, fair minded enough to admit that some women have really a message for their kind. To such he flung wide the gate of pure literature. He readily allowed that genius had no ■ex, though he was apt to add that Pegasus abhorred a sidesaddle. That whieh made bim emotionally resemble the fretful porcupine was the woman of poor, small talent who sought to make market for it in the daily press. In the face of it all Pen could not doubt her fate. So one of the black husks that once enveloped a soul was borne by his order far away from set cemeteries to a fair hilltop whoso crown of sighing pines made*all the tenderer the sunlit silence that lay all about. Pen could not bear to think of her who all her life had loved nature, the great mother, sleeping her last sleep amid the trim, clipped splendors of a city of the dead. One day a gentleman called and demanded a monkey.

"Any one of these?" asked the boy, who was in charge. He pointed to the stuffed specimens. Establishment. As they went forward so swiftly in eilence tide by side Pennington's sonl rose in rebellion. Here was a woman whose love might honor the noblest man alive pouring it at the feet of this hulking brute, whose attitude to ber was an ungracious permission. It must be that women were like flowers—when blossom time came, their hearts opened perforce, no matter how wan or sullen was the sun god then beaming in the sky. This woman, he well knew, was one of those to whom love is a necessity. It was denied her in her poor, safe, slighted homo life. What wonder that she lavished it without stint upon this handsome wretch, of whom ber fancj had made a demigod long before his hand was raised to shield her from an noyanceI Delegates Elected to National and State Dallas, through the Poit, make) a bid for the location of a large orphanige for the establishment of which it is said there is a movement nader way among the Odd Fellows of Pennsylvania. The Pjst says : " The Dallas lodge may safely guarantee to have the citizans of the town contribute a plot of twenty or thirty aores of land at some point easily accessible from the village. If is said thare is some talk of making an eff jrt to locate the proposed institution at Wilkeebarre, bat the good sense of those who are leading io the movement will surely not allow a public home for children to be eaUbllshad in the Wyoming Valley, nor in any large city. D*1 las is located j ist right for all the purposes required, and every lodge of Odd Fellows, from Nanticoke to Pitteton, ought to take a lively Interest in securing the location of the orphanage at Dallas. Here is an op portuntly for the Dallas Odd Fellows to make a bold stroke of enterprise and die tlngulah themselves for all time." "What is it?" Pen asked. Then noting that both hands were held hard behind her back added gravely, "I can guess—it's a manuscript novel on which I am to sit in judgment." Special to the Gazette Conventions. The Man and the Lion. "No—I want a live monkey," answered the customer. Iunkhannock, Pa, March 23 —At the i Republican connty convention today, Dr Catkins, of Mehoopany, was elected delegate to the Rapni'ltcan National convention, and Dr. S'urdevant, of Laceyville, delegate to the Republican 8tate convention.

They soon began to boast of their respective superiority to each other in strength and prowess. "Bah!" said the lion. "You talk too much. What have you done that may be considered great?" "Pooh to you!" quoth the man. "You are talking through your mane. I have done everything and everybody I have ever met, for I am prizefighter." Then the man stood on a stump beside the narrow road and talked a blue streak. Presently tl lion became ennuied, and, countering with his right, landed heavily on the place that the man lived with, after which he sat down and ate a hearty meal. The boy stepped to the door of the back shop and called to liis master: "Yon're wanted, sir!"— Youth's "Worse than that—it's a play—our work,'' with a proud stress on the pronoun, "and—and I asked you to come eo The Items in the bill are as follows Companion.

A little way off one of the envious ones said low to another: "Say, the old man had better give Mrs. Eton a regalfir place. Pen never would quit writing when she was in sight.." The other laughed lazily. "He hate? her, faot he does. D'ye kno v tht reason?" "They're a lot of jealous thieves.

With good reason too. A master hand hqd laid hold upon its breast and stirred it to tears, to laughter as the sough of wind stirs tall meadow Krass. Three well known critics were already explosive in thoir enthusiasm. A fourth, the best known of all, disciple of Tolstoi and Ibsen, was in rage, three adjectives doep, for the play was wholesomely, naturally real throughout—a most potent moral antiseptic to the high flavoring he loved. Besides he hated Pennington on personal grounds. tie fellow named Sigbolz gave the gang away, and told how they had robbed Miner & Billard'a Mill, Doctor Boyle's honse, Baldei & Arnold's, "No. Always thought it was on general principles, as I always thought till thin minute she was uglier than homemade bId. Now 1 see she's almost, yes, positively handsome. What can she have done with herself?'' The play proved at ODce a martyrdom and a revelation. Its motive was original, quaint, whimsical, delicately humorous, withal so obvious that you wondered how it had so long been left unused. In the first scene Pen grasped its possibilities, saw what might be made of it by a master hand and thereafter sat iu torment. When they came presently to the door of Pen's bachelor apartment, Eton's eyes thirstily took in its splendors, for Pen nington was a sybarite fin de siecla AD that was possible to art, to wealth, to the most perfect taste found its flower ing upon his floors and walls.

"I was amused at the answer I received to a question on a Chicago and Alton railroad train," said E. I?. Chapman at the Howard House. "At Bloomington two men entered the train and took a seat immediately in front of me. I did not sej them come in and paid no attention to them until one of the men went into the smoking car. It then occurred to me that I wanted to know something about Bloomington as a business point, so, leaning forward, I commenced a conversation. "Realized her possibilities, maybe. That is the root of Pen's grievance. He preached about her one day. The old man had somehow inveigled him into reading a lot of her copy, and the air was bine for five minutes afterward. Then he began. 'Here,' said he, 'is a creature with divine possibilities as a woman in womanly ways. But she throws them all away to swathe herself in a hideous black stuff business gown and trail into newspaper offices doing work that it is a compliment to call bad. The most aggravating part is that It might so easily be good. To a most exquisite instinct of choice and point of ▼lew she joins an absolute genius for .maltreating both.'

Yet from almost every page there came u flash of wit, a touch of fancy, a dainty, delicious turn of phrase. Listening was cruel work. Pen clinched his hands in shadow as the woman's piping, untrained voice wjrh its TCoft, slurring, southern accentuation slipped and slid now grave, now merry, always too rapid for perfect comprehension.

All five were oommltted to the Towanda j til to await trial. Yeteveu his rancor dropped a little as Pen, bowing again, yet tigain, to the storm of applause, Paid with a thick undertone of tremor: "I thank you more than mere words can say for the honor you do—the play. I do not say my play. It is not mine. The seed thought cuine to me from a dear soul long dead. I have been, am, but the artificer who has polished the gem and given it proper setting."

How is it as a business point?' "Here's the document, properly conditioned," he said, with a poor bravado that did not mask his uneasiness. When Pen without a word laid the money in his hand, he kissed the crisp notes and thrust them instantly within the breast of bis coat, as though fearful they might be snatched from his hand. " 'Fairly good.' " 'Were you in business there?' UNKNOWN MAN KILLED The man did worso and bettor.

Struck by a Delaware *»od Hudson Train at Smlthville. A storm of bravas, of hand clapping, drowned his words, made his heart leap so wildly further speech was impossible. Again he bowed low and turned to go away. Those thrilling shouts, that tempest of glad sound, forbade. " 'No, I am moving to Joliet. It is not so good a point for me as Bloomington, but I had a chance to take a steady contract there for live years, and I took it. There is too much uncertainty in the money making business.' " 'Are you going to Chicago?' laBt Friday at about nice o'clock the body of an unknown foreigner was found on the Delaware and Hudson north-bound traok at Smithville crossing.

It was an action The monntiln murder case was up before the court on Saturday again, when Borne surprising developments were revealed. It will be remembered that Njleon Miller (colored) was convict ad of being the chief criminal in the plot which resnlted In the explosion and lose of several lives on the Wilkesbarre mountain a year or more ago, the charge being murder in the first degree. The conviction was based mainly on the testimony of Frank Shaff ar, also colored, who swore that he (Shaffer) touched the electric button which caused the fatal explosion and that Miller was the one who planned the crime. Effjcts have recently been made to secure a new trial for Miller. Shaff ar himself has keen held In j*11 for complicity In the crime. List evening he sent for his attorneys, Messrs. Shea and McGovern, who went to the jail with Notary Pnbllc Jones, when Shaffer made a statement to the effeot that all of the testimony agalnbt Miller which he swore to at tha trial was false, that the detectives had secured his signature to the oonfesslon whlsh they had used while be was drunk, and that they promised to give him $1,000 and a tioket to California.

It was something earlier—twilight indeed had hardly fallen—when Pennington found himself in a poor, bare, little parlor so far over on the west side that from its windows you looked up and down the North river. It was qijite at the top of a tall building. With the outlook and the clean, fresh river air a very little money might have made it dear and homelike. Pen knew now why it was not, why the windows were undraped, the floor spread with ugly, cheap matting, the walls bare; nowhere any ornament save the glass of pea blossoms upon the bare mantelshelf. On their painted wings she crossed in one small minute the thousand miles between, and saw in clear sunlight the wide, low plantation house, the sighing pine woods, far in the distance a blue mountain rim. Sunshine lay over it all, sunshine that stole into and somehow transfigured her face. "I am not guilty of mnrder in the first degree.

All they knew was she was gone and had said she would never come back. It was blinding summer. White hot glare filled all the streets, with no breath of air to stir the loftiest flag upon its staff. Yet the pea blossoms held their beads up cheerily, so cheerily indeed that their wearer, unconsciously bathing her soul in their freshness, gave back its radiance in her face. Presently she turned into a big doorway, climbed flight after flight of dark, winding ■tain, all a-quiver with the throbbing of huge presses, and at last came out into an airy region of comparative peace, where many men in shirt sleoves sat about at many desks, with a lurid litter of paper, pencil, paste, scissors and ■mall boys pervading the intermediate •paoe. Pen was glad that the other merely nodded and stood stock still three feet away. "She followed us last night, has followed him this morning, poor fool," Pennington said as he went away with "Cynthia's Sacrifice" burning in his pocket. In the handsome, sullen fool he had recognized one hanger on of a dashing ballet dancer, one, too, who spent money like water till his pocket was empty. No dollar of it but was minted from the wife's brain. Pen had never before comprehended why, with her income, sho had found it necessary to wear one stuff gown the year round and went gloveless all through the pleasant weather. "That will do, Mm.

When they came out of it, especially into a newspaper office, what word could sum his misliking? "Alas, buf I'm a gone ground hog!" he cried after a vain struggle to free himself. Pen went, trD find only such poor, charred wreck of humanity as made recognition out of the question. One of them, though, had been Martha Eton. Her name was among the passengers of the ill fated car. Moreover the agent remembered perfectly her coming barely in time, her wan face and heavy eyes. He \Va» Called. "Yes, it does look that way," replied the ff)x as he seized and devoured the bait. "But what am I to do?" "Remember, Martha, It's very good of Mr. Pennington to come.

That is why I—it seems such imposition, really," with a pitiful little tremulous*laugh. "I am a wretched conspirator when it oomes to acting out my treason." Pennington turned upon him savagely. "Silence, if you pleasa I know quite as much of you and your affairs as I care to endure." FOR AN ODD FELLOW ORPHANAGE He was, however, fair minded enough to admit that some women have really a message for their kind. To such he flung wide the gate of pure literature. He readily allowed that genius had no ■ex, though he was apt to add that Pegasus abhorred a sidesaddle. That whieh made bim emotionally resemble the fretful porcupine was the woman of poor, small talent who sought to make market for it in the daily press. In the face of it all Pen could not doubt her fate. So one of the black husks that once enveloped a soul was borne by his order far away from set cemeteries to a fair hilltop whoso crown of sighing pines made*all the tenderer the sunlit silence that lay all about. Pen could not bear to think of her who all her life had loved nature, the great mother, sleeping her last sleep amid the trim, clipped splendors of a city of the dead. One day a gentleman called and demanded a monkey.

Here was a woman whose love might honor the noblest man alive pouring it at the feet of this hulking brute, whose attitude to ber was an ungracious permission. It must be that women were like flowers—when blossom time came, their hearts opened perforce, no matter how wan or sullen was the sun god then beaming in the sky. This woman, he well knew, was one of those to whom love is a necessity. It was denied her in her poor, safe, slighted homo life.

If is said thare is some talk of making an eff jrt to locate the proposed institution at Wilkeebarre, bat the good sense of those who are leading io the movement will surely not allow a public home for children to be eaUbllshad in the Wyoming Valley, nor in any large city.

Then noting that both hands were held hard behind her back added gravely, "I can guess—it's a manuscript novel on which I am to sit in judgment." Special to the Gazette Conventions.

"Pooh to you!" quoth the man. "You are talking through your mane. I have done everything and everybody I have ever met, for I am prizefighter." Then the man stood on a stump beside the narrow road and talked a blue streak. Presently tl lion became ennuied, and, countering with his right, landed heavily on the place that the man lived with, after which he sat down and ate a hearty meal.

Three well known critics were already explosive in thoir enthusiasm.

Now 1 see she's almost, yes, positively handsome. What can she have done with herself?'' The play proved at ODce a martyrdom and a revelation. Its motive was original, quaint, whimsical, delicately humorous, withal so obvious that you wondered how it had so long been left unused. In the first scene Pen grasped its possibilities, saw what might be made of it by a master hand and thereafter sat iu torment.

That is the root of Pen's grievance. He preached about her one day. The old man had somehow inveigled him into reading a lot of her copy, and the air was bine for five minutes afterward. Then he began. 'Here,' said he, 'is a creature with divine possibilities as a woman in womanly ways.

Yet from almost every page there came u flash of wit, a touch of fancy, a dainty, delicious turn of phrase. Listening was cruel work.

It is not so good a point for me as Bloomington, but I had a chance to take a steady contract there for live years, and I took it. There is too much uncertainty in the money making business.'
