(CONTINUED FROM IvAST WEEK)
She well remembered, long after,
that he had never referred to that
drive. The Chappies had driven but
a mile when they were stopped by an
old friend, the tramp, who asked them
"if they had seen; or passed a fine
turnout with a young lady and gentle-man
in it ?"
"Why do you ask ?" said one ot the
fellows -, "we left them at the hotel "
"No matter, gents," said he, "thank
you very miich; I merely wish to keep
an eye on the gentleman. Good day
sirs, goad-day !" - jV^
; The Chappies, after a little surprise,
were soon out of sight. The winter
had been severe, plenty of: snow, con-sequently
plenty of sleighing and
quilting parties for the old folks and
spelling bees"for the young. How
pleasantly the days and weeks slipped
by. '
Beckie had her hands full with her
lover, the Sunday-school and her du.
ties as governess to the twins. She
had already managed to bring about a
great change in household matters.
The boys were beginning to improve
in their accents and as for Aunt Peg-gie
and Uncle Ephraim they were to
remain their own dear selves without
any changes, the same good hearts
with their generous hospitality.
The winter had passed, the snow
was almost gone, then came the
erocuses and then the hyacinths, the
pansies and the tulips, until finally
the gardens were filled with a fra-grance
that was intoxicating. Some-time
precedirig the announcement of
Beckie's engagement she noticed the
great effort George was making to im-prove
himself and how . determined
he was to' become something more
than a very ordinary country boy; he
struggled man fully and had often said
I will try and do.as my Uncle Philip
did ; true, I did not attend a college,
but have I not the dearest and bright-est
of teachers, one who takes a double
interestjih my advancement?'' Beckie
struggled as hard as he did in this
great undertaking; she was sure there
was an abundance of application in
the good-hearted rustic, so her task
became lighter every day. She also
noticed an extra attachment George
had for'her, but as they were cousins,
gave it but little thought. Ofttimes
he would enter the room and in the
presence of Newall, would ask her,
with book in hand, to step aside and
explain this or that sentence, until it
became very embarrassing and she was
compelled to tell him to be less en-thusiastic
and not interfere with the
visits of her friend. He would tell her
that "all she cared for was for that
Newall fellow, because he was educa-ted"
and for that reason he applied
himself all the more. Newall often
frowned at him during his struggles
and feared "that if he did not make
more headway in liis wooing the hay-seed
would get the butter of him."
But, as his father had often said,
'there was no danger of cousins mar-rying
; " he was not much alarmed.
At such moments Newall would insist
upon Beckie taking a drive, conse-quently
cutting short the intrusion ;
then he-would detain her for hours
and constantly whisper sweet noth-ings
into her ears and speak of their
hoppy future to be, when he would al-ways
try and be worthy of her love."
O, how rosy everything seemed at
such times." "He hoped she would
not falter at the near approach of their
nuptuals."
He caused her to become so elated
and overjoyed that she was perfectly
willing to have their engagement pub
lically announced and then decide at
once upon, the wedding date. O, how
relieved Newall was at this conclu-sion.
He whispered to her many pret-ty
sayings, then looking into her eyes-would
say, "beloved, the s u n ' s golden
rays are brighter, the moonbeams
more silvery and everything in beauti-ful
nature seems to smik- upon our
joy and happiness." "
"John,", said she, gazing lovingly
into his' face, " I truly think you love
me and I am supremely happy." She
calmly laid her head upon his arm
and kept thinking and thinking until
they reached home. He gave her a
lorig and-loving embrace, then turned
and drove toward the village.
"At last, at last,", said lie,, "she has
fully consented and will soon be mine.
After all, courtship is not so silly,
particularly when you gain the affec-tions
of a wealthy girl with unlimited
means and still more to-follow, Ah
ha! all ha !| old governor ; • how you
will chuckle when yS« learn of the
news ! Your insomonia will soon be a
trouble of the past and in spite of the
necessity of masquerading with wig
and staff you will be able to exist with
great ease !"
So John Newall kept on soliloqui-zing
on his way home ; he was so re-lieved
and hoped his troubles would
end soon. Beckie went to her room
shortly after her interview with New.
all. A strange feeling came over her ;
she trembled, then laughed, became
hysterical and wept. She was so
agitated after reflecting over what had
taken place and fearing she had
been too hasty, grew nervous and
restless. "How could I have done
otherwise," she said to herself, "under
such pressing circumstances. Oh!
his last embrace was so electrifying
and; his outbursts of affectionate plead-ings,
his face so illumined, made it
impossible to resist." She remained
in her room quite a while meditating,
and her thoughts were so varied and
at times so startling that she almost
felt an impulse to rush in persuit of
Newall and withdraw her promise.
Her mind would go back to that warn-ing
letter. "Oh ! that horrid note ;
yes, that note, why did I not demand
an explanation concerning it. But I
know it is not true ! Have I not long
since decided to wipe that trom my
memory? Q! I implore him to be
f a i t h f u l ! How can I be so unkind
when he in all his manly magnificence
declared his true and honest love to
me, saying, 'The beauties of the forest,
the k>yal canopy of blue, with its
myriad of stars and its flitting white
and grey were the only witnesses to
our love pledges Enough of this. I
must not be so weak and 'miserable a
girl ; I must and will have more pride
and decision, for have I not given him
my solemn promise? After I have be-come
perfectly calm and a trifle re-freshed
I will hasten to inform dear
Aunt «Peggie first of all of our engage-ment,
I sincerely hope she will be de-lighted.
It will be embarrassing to
inform dear old Aunt Peggie, but to
tell the rest will be a task indeed.
"O, Aunty !'' said Beckie, falling
upon her dear old neck, "we are now
engaged and hope to be married when
the roses are in full bloom. Is that
not nice ?"
"Och yes, if you dink so; but den
ve vont haf our Beckie any more.''
Her eyes began to fill, she gazed in
another direction but for a moment ;
then Beckie lovingly kissvd away the
tears. Poor Aunt Peggie and Uncle
Ephraim passed a very restless night.
Aunty had told him all about the en-gagement
and 'that the marriage
would take place when the roses were
in bloom.' His reply was,"Och mom,
I vish de roses ditent ploom for long
yet. Yes yes, Peggie," then taking
her hand in his and lovingly patting
it, continued, "you know we always
vanted a little girl but ditent got one
so ven Beckie vas canie dat day ven
poor Ellen vas drowndit ye sait now
den ve dit git von, but vat a bick
price vas pait for dat ba> y ."
"O, yes," said Aunt Peggie, "how
ve dit cry ven Philip dit came ant
took her away-ant it vas long before
ve dit see her agin."
"It vas chust so Peggie," said Eph
raim, "but ve cried agin ven she vas
came to live mit us, a young lady,
not so?"
"Yes, yes, Ephraim, I know all
aboud dat, but ven ye vas done crying.
O, how ve dit all laugh ant de boys
vas so glat ant sait, 'our Beckie is
came to stay.' "
With moistened eyes and saddened
hearts they finally fell asleep. In the
morning Beckie told Joel first that she
was engaged and would soon be mar-ried
He quietly mumbled a few
words to himself and then said aloud
" I am glat if you are, but Cheorge
von't .be." After breakfast George
came as usual with his books into the
sitting room and as Beckie looked at
him she felt sure that to inform him
would be the most painful t a s k ; she
still leared he had more than merely
an affectionate longing lor her. She
finally mustered up courage to tell
him. He shrugged his shoulders,
frowned, finally gave a sickly smile,
then looked up into her face pitifully
and pleadingly asked her " to give him
just one kiss." They sat quietly for
fully five minutes, when Beckie said,
"don't you wish to begin your lesson
George? We are losing time and it
is growing late. Come, George, be
brave; am I not?"
"Yes, yes, Beckie," he answered
"when you give me that one kiss
They kissed and many, many years
after she imagined she could hear the
genuine-smack of it still. The lovers
now began to realize that the time for
the wedding was fast approaching,
Beckie was making every preparation
for t h e event, which was to take place
in the beginning of June.
CHAPTER VII.
Now, as there was plenty of work to
1 be done on the farm, our old man Of
all work as usual put in an appearance,
He always seemed startled in the pres-ence
of John Newall; he often asked
George whether he looked anything
like his father and if he was still at
the hotel." George remembered that
he once delivered a basket of fruit to
Newall, Sr., with ^Beckie's compli-ments,
and without thinking entered
the room, unannounced took the old
man by surprise, who stood with wig
in hand and was greatly excited. He
hurriedly passed into another room
and after he had adjusted his wig
properly, returned and thanked him.
George often wondered of what use a
wig was to a man blessed with plenty
of dark hair of his own. He often
wished to refer to the incident but did
not wish to injure Beckie's feelings,
and as old Newall had long since
moved from the village thought no
more about it until recently, when the
old tramp questioned him so minutely.
"Now," said George to himself, "If
this John Newall should t u r n out to
be a rascal I certainly would pity
Beckie. I am afraid it will only be
too true."
• One evening as they were all seated
in the large sitting room Beckie re-marked
to her uncle " t h a t she thought
it her duty to make her intended mar-riage
known to her step mother out of
respect to her father's memory. Uncle
Ephraim thought it would be the
proper thing to do, so she sat down
and wrote to her at once, giving all
the necessary information and hoping
to have the honor of her presence "
In a couple of days there, came an
answer stating "that she was glad to
learn of her coming marriage and in-vited
her to come to the city and re-main
with her while selecting her out-fit
and that she would cheerfully as-sist
her." Beckie was really delight-/
ed and accepted at once, leaving for
Philadelphia three days later. She
was received very cordially and de-cided
to remain about a week, during
which time John Newall ran to the
city and called at the mansion. Her
mother was very well impressed with
the appearance and manners of New-all
She assisted Beckie in the selec-tion
of her trosseau and together with
Newall, who was always by her side,
were constantly on the go. Beckie
asked her mother the first day of her
visit "whether she would be present at
the ceremony?" "It would be im-possible
and asked to be kindly ex-cused."
Beckie was disappointed, as
she fully expected her to consent.
"Now Beckie," said she, "to prove
to you that I am well pleased and
wish to do what is right in the matter
I will purchase for you a string, of
gems and several other jewels of value
for wedding gifts ; I will also place a
very snug sum in your satchel, but
you must promise me that whenever
you come to the city you will make
this 'arouse your home. I have no
children nor relatives and out of re-spect
to your dear father I will make
you my sole heir."
At the end of the week Beckie and
Newall returned to the farm. He
was supplied with boxes and parcels
and as she thought a generous supply
of money. Mr. Newall's carriage was
in waiting at the station on their ar-rival
and they were driven home at
once. The boys were both on hand
and assisted in unloading Newall
helped Beckie out ot the carriage and
she ran hurriedly to the house. New-all,
on turning, noticed she had left
her satchel on the seat, so he took it
and placed it carefully under his coat.
This was the bag that contained the
jewels and the money. Newall then
thought to himself, "this will help to
defray some ot the governor's old debts
and present expenses. I will have
more than necessary after the wedding.
Success has already begun to smile
upon me " Just then he was di turbed
by a slight noise and a form partly
concealed in the carriage house. As
Newall went up to the house the old
tramp, for he it was—said half aloud,
" t h i s time, young man, I caught you
in the act and if I succeed in finding
out that you are a Van Lert instead of
a Newall your cake will be dough.
After a short greeting at the house
Newall begged to be excused, and went
to his hotel immediately. Beckie was
so overjoyed and pleased with every-body
and everything particularly the
lovely gifts her mother had given her.
She quickly began to search amongst
the debris of parcels for her satchel
but to her surprise could not find it.
They searched everywhere in and out
of the house, but without success
George immediately hurried down to
the hotel to inqure of Newall if it had
been left in the carriage. He had
it thoroughly looked over, but could
not find it. He concluded it must
have been dropped on the way home
from the station. Newall sent his
coachman with George to look over
the road, after which George ran home
to inform them. He said Mr. Newall
would be over in the evening and talk
it over with Beckie. Newall called at
an early hour and after a long discus-sion
and making many suggestions
told them to be calm and not become
excited and that all would come right.
He pacified Beckie by saying, "I will
purchase duplicates of the jewels ;
was present when they were selected."
Of course Newall was calm and did
not worry, because he knew fall well
where the jewels were.
WITHIN THE COUNTY.

Garb Law Stands.
During the April term of quarter ses-sions
court in 1908 counsel for Amos R.
Hess, et al., Mout Joy township, who
were under indictment for trial for vio-lating
the Act of Assembly prohibiting
public school teachers from wearing a
garb, mark or insignia of a religious sect,
filed a demurrer to the indictment. It
was claimed that the Act which was ap-proved
in 1905, is unconstitutional in
that it violates the rights of individuals
to the pursuit of happiness.
The case was put on the argument
list and Judge Landis decided that the
act under which the suit was brought
was unconstitutional. At the instance
of J. S. Steager, prosecutor, the; com-monwealth
took an appeal from this
decision. The judgment of the lower
court is reversed. The case will be ap-pealed
to the Supreme Court.
To Be Sure.
Autoists want good roads. That goes
without saying, and it surprises no one
when the statement is published from
time to time in the papers that they are
agitating the matter. Of course, they
want good roads ; for bad roads materi-ally
detract from the pleasure of travel-ing
in horseless carriages, no less than
from that of traveling in any other
kind of vehicle. What causes surprise
is, that in connection with such agita-tion
no consideration is ever given to
the matter of relieving, at least in part,
the over-burdened taxpayer in the
country from the burden of making
and maintaining such roads. The
autoists themselves ought to be made
to contribute their just proportion of
road taxes. It would be but common
justice to compel those who are so clam-orous
for road improvement to pay at
least a part, for such improvement.
Good roads are a desideratum for all
classes in the community, and the bur-den
of making and manitaining them
ought to rest equally upon all.
Standing in the Way.
People who are merely spectators in
the arena of life would do well to keep
out of the way of those who desire to
be helpful. Tbe idler is at his worst
when he deliberately gets into the way
of those who are active in doing good.
One can forgive an idler for bis idleness
when he keeps out of the way of the
workers ; but when he hinders others
in their work, hecommits an unpardon-able
offense. They also serve wh > keep
out of tbe way. Not to hinder has a
quality of saving grace. None should
be wanting in that grace. It is bad
enough not to be a helper; but to be
standing in the way of those who would
help is infinitely worse. The man who
is really useful is never in the way. He
has his legitimate place and holds it,
and there he interferes with no one.
OVER THE STATE.
Former United States Senator J . Don-ald
Cameron, of Harrisburg, is seeking
coolness and comfort at Bedford Springs
which was the favorite summer resort

a civil action against her.
So enthusiastic became Rev. Charles
