ETHEL'S L0YE STORY.
T 7 THEL HARCOURT sat on
f f f sunny south veranda, idly look-
V. ing out on a typical Southern
California landscape in early Spring.
The Cuyamaca was still white with
the lately fallen snow, and rugged El
Cajon showed to advantage in the
foreground; The lower slopes and the
valleys were green, occasional patches
of yellow showing where the violet,
now past its prime, or the poppy, in
all its richness, fouud a congenial
home.
Miss Harcourt listened to the wild
songs of the birds, and underneath the
gay melody there was a minor strain,
like some half-forgotten song which is
recalled by an old association.
Her mind glanced swiftly oyer the
last ten years in her California home.
Her mother's illness and death, her
father's loss, not only of wife, but of
fortune. Their retirement to this
lonely ranch among the hills. " Yes,"
she said to herself, "the gay, unre-flecting
girlhood in New England
seemed like something in another age.
Not a feeling, not a hope, not a desire
in common with that young creature "
She thought, with a smile, as one
might think of another, that in those
years she was fair to look upon. The
cli ar, bright eyes, the softly rounded
cheeks, the mass of rebellious hair
which tangled and curled io spite of
her plaits. Why did those years,
especially those months spent at the
Atlantic View, come back with such
vividness ? Suddenly she was seized
with an overpowering desire to write.
Not the beauty of the landscape, not
the nameless productions of the soil,
not the present, but the past made her
pen fly swiftly. She felt as if impel-led
by a power from without, and de-scribed
the first romance, with its sad
little ending, which she experienced
that Summer at Atlantic View.
The years rolled back on either side'
and she saw clearly as a woman what
she failed to understand as a child-like
girl. As she wrote she found her-self
making Arthur Lindley one of the
main figures, and herself the other.
The tall, impetuous young fellow, free,
rich, handsome. He was courted by
many and admired by all. How, then,
did it happen that he should have
shown such eager delight in her
society, flushing with pleasure when
she appeared and attending her like her
shadow ? The young Ethel was led to
believe in, the sincerity of the lad,
when he told her frankly that there
was no girl to be compared with her,
not one. No one was so true, so
honest, so unaffected. What a series
of scrapes the boy did get into, to be
sure, and how he confided them all to
her and asked her advice, for he had
no mother and no sisters. " But I
don't want you for my sister," he had
said, with a twinkle in his blue eyes.
Those long mornings on the beach,
when the bathers made merry and the
lookers-on lined the sands, those after-noons
of idle swinging in a hammock
till the long shadows made a game of
tennis a possibility; those soft eve-nings,
when the cottages looked like
fairy places and the band played
dreamy music in the park; they all
floated through the halls of memory.
Ethel Harcourt wrote spontaneous-ly.
She saw, with the perception of
mature years, the tangled web in which
her girlish feet were caught. She re-membered
the days when there crept
into and between the comradeship an
alien note. How or wlfen it began she
could not tell, but her instinct warned
her of the approaching danger.
Arthur Lindley no longer came with
his outbursts and confidences. He
seemed to be watching her, to be
weighing and comparing her words,
holding her at a hostile distance.
There was nothing which could have
been told, no one word or sentence
which separated them, only a growing
atmosphere of distrust on one side, and
maiden shyness and reserve on the
other. At last there came an out
break from him ; bitter, unkind words
and mysterious allusions. Ethel
tried to have him explain himself, but
it had no effect. She had treated him
shabbily—he, who had been her best
friend. No one could bear such
things, and he would not bear them
any longer. There could be no ex-planation
: no, he would not hear one
word, but would bid her " good morn-ing."
After this they would meet as
strangers.
Ethel was a girl who held her head
very high, and she would not for a
moment have young Lindley think
that she missed his faithfulness. It
was very easy to accept Mrs. Hearst's
«view of the matter, and drift into in-timate
companionship with her nephew,
Al Hearst, a young man whom Ethel
had always shrank from, but who was
now a gift from fate. She saw now
how easily she was entangled, how the
appearances were against her, and how
she lent herself to her own misery.
For it was misery for a few days. She
could bear her own bitterness and re-gret,
but to see Arthur grow careless
in dress, to hear him talk and laugh
loudly, to be told of his frantic atten-tions
to some of the leaders of the fast
set, all these made- her heart ache.
And the season came to its end with
a glitter of fireworks, and the crowds
parted, each family to its own home.
The Harcourts came to California the
following Winter and the little play
was never finished.
All this, and more, went to make up
the story. She touched it here and
there with her artist fingers, and the
pathetic little tale was written in words
which went to the heart. At the end
she stopped, pen in hand, and listened
to the chatter of the gay-breasted
blackbird which was perched on a
pepper tree near.
This was life; not those feverish,
faroff days, but this quiet growth and
unfolding of her true nature. A
widening of the sympathies, a deeper
insight, an humbler estimate of her
powera and a greater possibility of en-joyment.
It was morning in a hotel office in
San Diego. The stout clerk was bend
ing laboriously over the register, put-ting
in a fancy heading at the top of
a new page. The black porter and
his aids were hurrying about, gather-ing
up valises, wraps, kodaks and um-brellas,
and trying to get off those un-fortunates
who were to leave on the
early train. The few business men
who boarded in the house came out
from the breakfast room with a mild
air of importance, as befits the well
when surrounded by the sick. One
by one the invalids, in all stages of
lung and throat-trouble, made their
way across the great sun veranda.
Most of them were attended by a mem-ber
of the family, but a solitary man
occasionally stalked or sauntered on
his way towards breakfast. Two men,
who happened to be sitting near each
other, laid down their papers at the
same moment, and the elder remark-ed
:
" It's a fine day."
" Yes, very nice weather," assented
the other.
" Been here long ?''
" Nearly two months."
" Don't get tired of it?"
" Yes, a little, sometimes."
" Board as good as this most of the
time?"
" I think so.'
" S'pose you're hear for your
health ?"
" Yes, my lungs are weak. Excuse
me, I see the mail is in," and the tall,
bearded man walked slowly towards
the desk.
" Here's your mail, Mr. Lindley,"
said the clerk, handing him several
letters, a paper and a magazine. He
retreated to a quiet corner in the
office, glanced quickly through his let-ters,
read the paper and took up the
magazine. He became absorbed, he
looked around for a moment to assure
himself that he was not dreaming, and
he read on again. Was he losing his
senses? Surely, he knew that seaside
resort, those tiny cottages and—what
would come next ? His own words, his
foolish, pig-headed obstinacy! And
how she, that proud little creature,
understood it all. Could she ever for-give
him ? Was it too much to expect,
too much to hope for ? He laid it down
with a long sigh and gave himself up
to the memories of those sweet and
bitter days. What a schemer that A1
Hearst was! He was ashamed to con-fess
how easily he became a prey to
the wily fellow — that is, he was
ashamed a dozen years ago, but not
now. Where could Ethel Harcourt
be ? Were they not in the State, the
whole family ? Would she forgive him
if he found her ? He would write to
Fothergill and get the address of the
author of '•' In Summer Days." What
a waste of time in the years since they
met!
" And to think that while I was
writing it you were only twenty miles
away," said Miss Harcourt, her quiet
face lighted by a happy smile. " I was
compelled to take a chapter from my
own life just at that moment, and it
would have been almost impossible
either to have checked the impulse to
write or to have altered my incidents
in any way."
'' Miss Harcourt — Ethel — I can
never undo the past, those words, those
unworthy suspicions, but if I may I
will make amends for them in, the
future. May I try f"
Ethel Harcourt found it difficult to
raise her eyes to meet the earnest gaze
of her old friend. She felt the mount-ing
color flush her usually pale cheeks,
but as simply as a child she laid her
hands in his. After a long conversa-tion,
more interesting to themselves
than to any one else, Ethel said :
"You will promise me never to let
coldness or doubt part us again. Come
to me when my words or my actions
cannot be explained, tell me frankly,
instead of bearing it in silence."
" My darling," said Lindley, " I
give you my solemn promise that it
shall be as you have said. And in the
coming years there shall fall no
shadow between us, for between two
who are truly made one there is no
room fjr shadows."
The Prophecy of John Adams.
The approach of another anniversary
of our national birthday finds the
whole country resounding with the
note of preparation for its celebration.
The prophecy of John Adams that the
day would be ushered in by sound of
cannon and ringing of bells and blaz-ing
of fireworks has been realized ever
since that auspicious day when the old
bell in Independence hall first pealed
in joyous tones the birth of a nation.
Changes incident to our advanced age
have brought a change in the modes
of celebrating this great day, but the
same patriotic spirit lives and breathes
in all parts of the country and finds
its own mode of testifying that
patriotism.
The Cough of a Locomotive.
The cough or puff of a railway
engine is due to the abrupt emission of
waste steam up the chimney. When
moving slowly the coughs can, of
course, be heard following each other
quite distinctly, but when speed is put
on the puffs come ou$ one after the
other much more rapidly, and when
eighteen coughs a second are produced
they cannot be separately distinguished
by the ear. A locomotive running at
the rate of nearly seventy miles an
hour gives out twenty puffs of steam
every second—that is, ten for each of
its two cylinders.
The Favorite Colors in Çarpetings.
Dark colors in carpets are out of
fashion at present. Cool, bluish-greens,
pinkish-reds, grounds of cream and
buff, and various neutral shades—these
I was informed are now the rage. It
seems that the crude and violent colors
so popular, in; ladies' dress at present
are carefully avoided in the composi-tion
of carpets ; perhaps the one
fashion reacts on the other, and light
backgrounds are required to show off
the magentas, emerald-greens and deep
purples worn at present.
" What a Handsome Man !"
Rather an odd incident happened at
the World's Fair the other day when
the French section of the Manufactures
Building was formally opened. Among
the visitors was a very handsome man,
A very handsome young lady from the
South side said to another young lady
in French, " What a handsome man."
The other lady replied, " Yes, very."
To their infinite amazement another
gentleman, whom they had not
observed before, took off his hat and
said, also in French, " Ladies, I thank
you."- When the ladies recovered
from their surprise they noticed that
the man who had taken the compli-ment
to himself, and who certainly
had not deserved it, was no less a per-sonage
than the Duke of Veragua.
Why She Asked.
" Mary Ann," asked the mistress of
the rest of the household, " may I ask
what time you expect to return to-night
?"
" Certainly, mum," answered Mary
Ann, with suspicious suavity. " Ye
may ask all ye likes, though it's not
meself that sees any reason for tellin'
ye."
" Oh, it was not through impertinent
curiosity that I asked," the frightened
woman explained, " I thought some
of your callers might come in, and if
you were to be back soon I could take
them into the parlor and entertain
them until you returned,"

I/eland Stanford Dead.
Leland Stanford, Republican Sena-tor
from California, and well known
the country over as one of the great
railroad kings of the West, died sud-denly
at his residence at Menlo Park,
Cal, on Wednesday.
Within a tew days he had expressed
his intention of resigning from the
Senate because of ill health. Born in
Albany county, New York, he studied
lav/ and removed to Wisconsin, where
he practiced his profession, subsequent-ly
removing to California. He em-barked
in mercantile pursuits and be-came
President of the Central Pacific
Railroad Company, superintending its
construction over the mountains.
Senator Stanford was heavily inter-ested
in railroads, agriculture and
manufactures. He was a man of
great wealth and from his store gave
bountifully to charities. The Uni-versity
which he built and named for
his deceased son is a monument to his
philanthropy. Its splendid endow-ment,
surpassing; that of any other
university in the country, will enable
it to accomplish a work that no other
institution on the Pacific Coast can
hope to approach. Its broad and
liberal foundation, large revenue and
comprehensive plan of work mark out
for it a career that will secure fame
for its founder and bring honor on the
State in which it is situated.
Mr. Stanford was a Republican and
he will be succeeded by a Republican
appointed by Governor Markham.
The term for which he was elected
expires in 1897.
Death of Congressman Mutchler.
William Mutchler, Democratic
member of Congress from the 8th
Pennsylvania district, died suddenly
of heart disease, at Easton on Thurs-day.
He had been in poor health of
late and was taken ill at a Pike county
fishing resort three weeks ago with
heart trouble. He recovered, came
home and had been able to be out, but
still suffered from his stomach and
heart. Deceased leaves a wife and
one son, Howard Mutchler, proprietor
of the Easton Express and the North-ampton
Democrat.
William Mutchler was born in this
(Northampton) county, December 31,
1831, and was therefore in his 62d
year. He was a lawyer. ' In 1867
President Johnson appointed him as-sessor
of internal revenue, which office
he held two years. He was chairman
of the Democratic state committee in
1869 70, and was a member of the 44th,
47tb, 48ih, 51st and 52d Congresses*.
He was re-elected to the 53d Congress
last fall by a large majority. Deceased
had a wide influence m Democratic
circles in Washington.

Progress the Fourth of July Has
»Witnessed.
Since the fourth of July became re-cognized
as the natal day of our nation
our population has grown from 4,000,-
000 to 65,000,000. Its center moving
westward 1,000 miles since 1790 is
eloquent with the founding of cities
and the birth of states. New settle-ments,
clearing the forests and sub-duing
the prairies and adding 4,000,-
000 to the few thousand farms which
were the support of the early republic
create one of the greatest granaries of
the world and open exhaustless reser-voirs
of national wealth. The in-dustries
which the first act of our first
administration sought to encourage
now give remunerative employment to
more people than inhabited the re-public
when first established. The
grand total of their annual output of
',000,000,000 in value places the
"United States first among the manu-facturing
countries of the earth.
One-half the total mileage of all the
railroads and one-quarter of all the
telegraph lines of the world within
our borders testify to the volume,
variety and value of an internal com-merce
which makes these states, if
need be and if widely used, indepen-dent
and self supporting. The hun-dred
years of development under favor-able
and unfavorable political con-ditions
have brought the sum of our
national wealth to a figure which has
passed the results of a thousand years
for the motherland herself, otherwise
thè richest of all modern empires.

The Thieving Carp.
From the Reading Herald.
We read yesterday in our veracious
contemporary", the Philadelphia Rec-ord,
a story about a farmer whose
cows were milked by German carp.
We haye no doubt it is true, but the
incident is not new. The carp in this
county have been stealing milk for a
number of years, and various incidents
of their depredation in this direction
have been published in the Morning
Herald as a protest against their
further propagation. Just the other
day a school of carp came out of a mill
dam along the Manataway and ruined
a field of young corn, biting off every
stalk close to the ground. In another
instance they got into a creamery, and,
in a single night, ate up and damaged
forty-five hundred pounds of new
cheese, and it was only last week that
they stole over a hundred chickens
from the henroost of a farmer in
Brecknock township. They ate very
little of the chicken, but simply pluck-ed
the feathers to build their nests. It
was a great mistake to introduce these
voracious predatory fish into our
streams, and we trust the Record will
continue to assist us in demonstrating
to the public their mischievous and
thieving disposition.
