Charles H. Hackley, Pioneer Lumber

From Grand Rapids, Mich., EnnlDg Presa.
The most beautiful spot in all this city
is inseparably associated with the name
of Hackley. Charles II. Ilackley has
been in the lumber business bere con
tinuously since 1860, and in that time
has amassed a fortune which gives him
rating among the wealthy men of the
nation. Bat with wealth there did not
come that tightening of the purse strings
wnicn is generally a roamed cnarac
tcristic of wealthv men.
It is no wonder then that the name of
Charles II. U tick ley is known at home
and abroad. Hia munificence to Muske
gon alone represents an outlay of nearly
half a million. For the past twenty
years he has been a constant sufferer
from neuralgia and rheumatism, also
Dumbness of the lower limbs, so much
so that it has seriously interfered with
bis pleasure in life. For some time
past his friends have noticed thut lie
seemed to grow young again and to
have recovered the health which he had
in youth.
To a reporter for the Press Mr. Hack
lev emlained the secret of his trans
formation. "I have suffered for over 20
years," he said, "with pains in my
lower limbs so severely that the only
relief I could get at night was by put

than in the day time. 1 he neuralgic
and rheumatic' pains in my limbs,
which had been growing in intensity
for years, finally became chronic. I
made three trips to the Hot Springs
with only partial relief and then fell
back to my original state. I couldn't

of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pule
People and what they had done for
others, and some cases so nearly re
sembled mine that I was interested, so
I wrote to one who had given a testi
monial, an eminent professor of music
in Canada. The reply 1 received was
even stronger than the printed testi
monial and it gave me faith in the

"I began taking the pills and found
them to be all that the professor hud
told me they would be. It was two or
three months before I experienced any
perceptible betterment of my condition,
My disease was of such long standing
that I did not expect speedy recovery
and was thankful even to be relieved. I
progressed rapidly, however, towards
recovery and for the last six months
have felt myself a perfectly well man.
I have recommended the pills to many
people and am only too glad to assist
others to health through the medium of
this wonderful medicine. I cannot say
too much for what it has done for me'

My advice Is, 'Don't,'" said Dr. Bush
French. "Hut I am perfectly well aware
that you have not asked my advice."
I thank you very much for It. btill 1
should like to understand the basis of It."
1 confess," said Basil, "that the logical
basis of my advice is my private wish that
you should refrain from the discussion of
realistic novels In public"
It was early May, and the two were walk
ing together In the Klyslan fields, as the

.aVaV ner, to litis, ui uouas, w una ui uiuaiu nil'
art, to discuss theories of life, to tell her a
that had been in his mind In the past and
almost all that be hoped for in the future,
wus by this time the chief necessity of
Basil's existence. What she felt In return
washis ever recurring problem. She liked
him of that he was certain. A dimple
showed near her lips whenever be ap
proached her, and her eyes rested on him
as ir they nau round wuni tney uau oeen
seeking. Her quick fancies, her imagina
tive perceptions, ber sense of the comic, her
impassioned rapidity in working toward
some solution of every question be pre
sented to her all seemed to be reserved for
him above all others.
Often be was pervaded by a soft intoxi
cation of belief that she waited for him;
that his coming was the signal for the real
Interest to begin. Oftener still be was de
pressed by the conviction that her sympa
thy for him was purely a matter of intellec
tual curiosity; that she was reading him as
she might read a book, and that when she
reached the last leaf she would throw him
aside. The girl seemed to him to feel no vi
tal need of any friend, any helper. Her In
stinct was toward aerial freedom.
Today he bad chanced to encounter her
near the park gate and bad asked if he
might join ber walk, hue bad told him
frankly there could be no doubt about ber
wish In the matter, tier mood was sunny
that afternoon.
She wore a spring gown of some light
tint, with a knot of ribbon bere and there.
whose effect was to give added lightness
and buoyancy to ber movement. Ihe dog
wood was coming into bloom, Judas trees
burned against the background of firs, the
flower beds were full of gaudy tulips and
pale hyacinths.
She bad remarked to him that she bad
been asked to address the final meeting of
The Germ on the subject of realistic novels.
"You evidently consider that I have not
mastered the subject," she remarked after
pondering his words for a moment "To
tell the truth, I have read almost none of
the distinctively realistic novels. But I
could set to work and devour them in a
week."
"My advice is, 'Don't.'"
"Because it is against established conven
tions for a woman to confess that she reads
a certain class of books?"
Because of something that lies deeper
than mere conventions. But no matter for
that To be frank, I hate to see you run
after as an amusing spectacle; listened to,
not because what you say is particularly
well worth hearing, although I know it is,
but from the piquancy of its being a young,
beautiful and charming girl who says it
There, now; are you angry with mo?"
You consider, like Dr. Johnson, that a
woman's preaching is like a dog's danc
ing tho surprise is not that be does it
well, but that he does it at all."
Basil stood still for a moment, gazing
straight before him across the faintly col
ored uplands.
Is that Itf" she asked, with a touch of
petulance.
He turned and looked at her. His own
face was crimson.
"I cannot answer as if this were a general
case. It is not general for me It is partic
ular. It is between you and me. 1 have
come to love you with all my heart, Miss
Gray, and by the very necessity of a man's
love I am narrow, exclusive, jealous where
you are concerned."
Oh I she exclaimed, and at the same
time took three steps away from him.
He bad blurted out what he bad meant
never to utter until the right moment
came, aud by every sign this was the wrong
moment

lie took one stride and reached ber. He
luid bis hand on her arm.
"Do you bate met" be demanded.
"Hate you? Why should I bato you?
Not the least in the world."
"Do you love mef"
"Not the least In the world."
"Then," said he, "1 will go away. If you
will not love me, the world itself is uot
wide enough for you and me."
Their eyes met, and she was frankly
amazed at the signB of trouble in bis face.
"What uonsensel" she cried, with scorn.
"We were friends, we are friends, and we
can go on and be better friends. 1 never be
fore had a friend. Ut course a woman
friend was what 1 asked for, but it is the
unexpected that bapen8. Her voice began
to vibrate with a thrill born of feeling,
" iou have done me good," she went on; "I
had begun to expect a great deal from you."
" Mildred," lie exclaimed, with fresh Im
petuosity, "I am ready to spend my best
blood aud tny best strength in your service.
Friends? You do uot begin to know what
that term can mean. Only as your husband
can I be tour best friend."
She shrank from the word, "Nothing
could induce me to marry," she cried.
"If you like me as a friend," be persisted
with vehemence, "why not as a lover,
husband?"
"1 do not like you at all at this moment
simply for thrusting such a word upon me.
I feel you to be a tyrannical personality
towering above me trying to govern me."
"You would hardly, here and now, care
to have me go down on my knees. But in
heart and feeling I am at your feet, Mil
dred. Honestly, if life is to be worth any
thing to me, I must have yon in it There
is a terrible vacuum in my existence. I ask
yon to fill it np."
They were both laughing.
"I dislike to be disobliging," she re
turned, "but it would not be an easy mat
ter for me to marry when I was not in love,
and I am not in love."
"Starry me without being in love. Marry
ie wit h your ryes wide open. I do not flat
ter myself tuat I am capable of inspiring a
feeling which could blind you to my faults.
I need you all the more because of my
faults."
No, no, no," said Mildred.
A new letter carrier in Plattsbnrg is
credited with anxiously inquiring if he
would be expected to deliver the letters I
if it rained.
You do not
begin to guess how impossible it would be
for me to marry, to give up everything I
hare planned ami worked for. You do not
realize how little I think of anything excrpt
my appointed work, the necessity of ful
filling my own individual destiny. I am
very much Interested in myself," she pur
sued, with a brief langh. "I intend to give
myself free play and see what 1 can make
of my life. I have not even finished my
education yet I expect to go back to the
Victorian after a year or two and study for
a Ph. D. I have all aorta of schemes. I ln-
I tend to take a lifetime for them and not to ,
BJUZZ." .
He raised his hat to Mrs, Fabian, led
Mildred across the intervening space, as-1
sisted her into the victoria, then saying, "I '
must bid you a good afternoon," be walked
rapidly away.
Mildred, left to find explanations aud
comments for Mrs, Fabian, could hardly
gather her thoughts together. A thousand
words she had lieen ready to utter to Basil
burned 111 her heart, and her tongue was 1
stiff and stubhoru. It had all been so sud
den; he had been so impatient Ah, that
Impatience, which was a dominant note of
character in him, as in all meul That nar
rowness, that excliislveuess, thut jealousy!
As if the grate aud the veil were to be pre
scribed to women.
In the thrill his words hud awakened she
bad not shot the rejoinder w hich now oc
curred to her. Indeed she had altogether
been taken by surprise and felt that she
bad not matle her case clear. She could
have found incontrovertible arguments
against bis selfish, not to say grasping,
state of mind. She would have pointed out
to him that the trouble lay in the preva
lent foolish fable that men must fall in
love with girls and that girls are always
dreaming of lovers. Banish this common
place adherence to wornout niediwval ro
mance, and the mental tendency of falling
in love is banished.
She did not doubt the efficacy of such
counsel and took it for granted that, al
though at the moment she bad not been
able to make a convert of Dr. Basil French,
the occasion was only postponed. But as
the days went on, nnd the thought pressed
in upon her that be bad said unless she
could love him the world Itself was hardly
wide enough for them to walk apart, she
was conscious of a tumultuous rush of sen
sation. She could not at first believe that he bad
deserted ber. What bad ska said, what
bud she done, that he should in a moment
renounce the pleasant intercourse which
bod become their dally habit? She bad
for years denounced men, and this was like
a man, selfishly to desire the attainment of
bis object, indifferent to the wishes and in
terests of others. Yet when she recalled
his words, his tones, his glances during
that Interview in the park, she was no
longer inclined to be angry. In recollection
they gained new eflicacy she was thrilled
as his meaning became magnified and in
tensified. Then, conscious that she was
softening, she would cry: "Is it I or Is it
somebody else wbodecidedtohaveacarecr
of my own? Is It 1 or another who be
lieves that if the woman is to be tho pow
erful moving force of the twentieth cen
tury she must be wise, strong, consistent,
true to herself?"
All ber powers bud rushed In one current
with ber energies toward the hope of de
veloping the new type of woman, and yet
Basil had tried to lure her into the beaten
track. All these eight weeks tbat she had
known him she bail been conscious of
stimulus, of unexpected intellectual re
sources, a sense of power.
How insidious bis Influence had been
flattering ber tbat she was free, yet all the
time imprisoning ber in meshes which,
light as gossamer though they might be.
she found It bard to throw off. For she was
obliged to confess tbat, now she no longer
saw him, although she was to all appear
auce leading the life she had hitherto led.
the interest had flatly gone out of it It
lacked the central moving figure.
One morning Mrs. Fabian, with a glance
at her husband, read out the announcement
from the morning paper that Dr, French,
accompanied by bis sou, Dr. Basil French,
was to sail for htirope on May 13.
It was already May 10. Here was lm
placable reality for Mildred; here was also
a release from ber dilemma. She bad
wasted time of late. Now, she told herself,
there would be no interruption, no more
wavering between opposite ideals. She
would now reserve herself for what was
great, serious and important.
She was sorry she had promised to ad
dress The Germ on the subject of realistic
novels not because of Dr. Basil French s
scruples, but because it meant more frit
tering away of time and declension from
her highest aims. He bad objected from
his own private point of view, which she
need not in the least regard, she would
never think of him again. Then, having
decided never to think of him, she went on
thinking of every word he bad uttered, of
the general why and wherefore, of things
tangled which might have been smooth, of
what is, compared with what might have
been, until May 13, ou the evening of which
day she was to address Ihe Germ.
She had read up nothing about realistic
novels. She bad made no effort to enlarge
ber knowledge of the subject Whut she
felt about the whole occasion was a curi
ous languor and apathy. All at once it oc
curred to her that, although Basil h reuch
as rapidly putting the ocean between
them, news travels far, and be might hear
bat she was to say and might accept ber
defiance of bis advice as a triumphant re
partee. She trusted to her woman s facul
ty of instantaneous insight to give her
something to say, and to her woman's wit
to bridge over the logical gup which
yawned between her and the realistic nov
els she had not read to some safe standing
grnuud.
All X gathered to hear her. Tin
uight was warm. Mildred was dressed in
Jericho. This is my r iortiiiilty and yours.
Have you been very glad to be rid of me?"
l-t ber struggle as she might to vie with
him In high spirits, Mildred was conscious
of a lack of rebound. He evidently consid
ered everything rounded off, complete, fin
ished, dead. He looked at her with an eager
expression when she did not speak.
"Well?" he said presently.
"You sec," she olsa-rved, with au effort at
llulitness. "thut 1 SIIDUOSed VOIl went Imlr
' way across tho Atlantic that you bad gone
without a word."
I "Did you care particularly? But no, 1
' will not press questions. You have some
thing better to do in life than to love me,
ami we shall go our two ways. You de
mand freedom, serenity, Ideal aims. If you
have any feeling, you intend that it shall
Justify the expense of the candle. What I
want, on the other hand, is just my own
selfish happiness the blessedness of help,
of consolation, of comradeship. It would
be nothing to you to realize that If you put
out your bund someliody seeks It, clasps it
holds it But it would be everything to
me. I stumble without it, like a child on
a rough road. on have the keys to every
thing in life I hold precious. 80 unless
you to turn the locks I shall have nothing
precious. Still, I wanted to snatch just one
moment We are at least friends. You
yourself said that we bad been, were still
and could go ou being friends." He bent
bis bead and swiftly kissed the band which
lay on bis arm. she would have withdrawn
It, but bis own closed over it "This is
mere friendliness," be said. "Tomorrow
night I shall be out of sight of land, and
you will be free to go your own way."
Mildred felt like crying out She had
quivered at bis words; they were like the
shrewdest Irony. All of human blessed
ness seemed to be offered In this compan
ionship. Alone against the world? Why
should she stand alone? Why should she
fight the world? Conquered and despoiled,
what could the world give her In return for
rejecting this joy immeasurable? What
childish folly to reject that which was the
only thing she realized a clear need of?
Still, what she said was:
"1 hope your journey will be pleasant"
"Delightful," be returned curtly. "Much
you know of my slate of mind. But you
have refused me once, t wice, thrice. Wretch
in fetters as I am, I must bear my pain
and be silent."
They were pausing before the Fabians'
door.
"This Is goodby," said Basil, and be took
both her bands in bis.
"I do not understand you," she mur
mured, "when you say I have refused you
three times."
"First, you declared inetobe a tyrannical
personality; then that you would have none
of me and were going back to college to
study for a Ph. D., and then tonight"
"How tonight?" she asked, with some
srehucss.
"Do you mean," he cried, "that you will
give up that career"-
"1 do not feel at this moment that I have
any career tbat there is anything in the
world it costs to give up except you," said
Mildred. Ellen Oluey Kirk in Peterson's

white ones.
If the nnmlierof red corpuscles becomes
diminished and the while ones Increjsed
the blood la impure, thin, lacking in Ihe
nutrition necessary to sustain the health
and nerve strength of Ihe body.
Then Th 1 1 1 red Feeling, Nervousness,
Scrofula, Halt Rheum, or others or the long

mur ran round tbe room as she came for

She began by saying that she brought to
the discussion of the uew realistic fiction no
particular knowledge of the subject and
that indeed she was at issue with those
who use the term realistic as the equivalent
fur what is ugly, animal and pessimistic in
tendency. To ber, she declared, that only
was real which was honest, sound and
sweet tbe source of strength, permanence
and progress to all mankind. 1 be deform
ity, tbe disease, the wickedness, which were
the result of abnormal and unhealthy in
fluences, containing in themselves as they
must the limitation of their strength and
the necessity or tneir speedy decay, were
forces to be rejected and combated forces
which never had conquered nnd never could
conquer. Nature insists on health, light
and life and punishes deviations from her
requirements relentlessly. And the most
precious of the spoils of time is the chance
gained for us to live with daily beauty,
with order, sacredness and purity in our
lives. These are our realties and necessi
ties. This was her text, and then she told
the story of Anna Karenina.
Kverybody observed that as the girl
speaker was rounding olT her discourse
suddenly she flushed and for a moment
seemed to lose the thread, then regain it
and went on with fresh animation and
crisper aud more incisive touch. The
truth was that Mildred had caught a
glimpse of Basil French standing in a cor
ner of the room, and for a moment every
thing bad whirled round before ber eyes.
He approached ber as she stood sur

like to take your advice."
He was smiling; be bent forward aud
said:
"Your way of doing as you like charmed
me. Perhaps you remember that you al
ways had a way of charming me?"
"I had forgotten," said Mildred saucily.
"It is so long since I hare had the pleasure
of seeing you."
Later, when she was following Mrs. Fa
bian to her carriage, be came up.
"Why not walk home?" he said. "The
moon Is full; the nlgbt is like summer."
"I am going to walk," Mildred said to
Mrs. Fabian. It was a pleasure snatched
out of the very teeth of loss and loneliness
to see him.
"Please take my arm," he said. "I want
to monopolize you for a moment I sail fur
Europe tomorrow at S o clock."
"I heard that you bad already Bailed."
"Without bidding you goodby? Hardly.

A Novelty In Trolley Roads.
In an electric road recently construct
ed in England a radical departure from
American methods has been made. A
trolley wire is suspended from arms pro
jecting from steel columns. No guy
wires are employed, as the steel wires
are especially designed to withstand se
vere strains. At the corners the ' trolley
wire, instead of following a curve of the
same radius of the track, as in the Amer
ican systems, is turned on an angle, the
whole system depending on the flexibili
ty of the trolley arm, or side collector,
as it is called, which automatically en
gages the trolley wire in any position
from two to twelve feet from the side of
the car.
Another change from American prac
tice is the adoption of a pressure of only
850 volts. The cars are only 23 feet long
and are equipped with two motor of 15
brake horsepower, running at 400 revo
lutions. Philadelphia Press.

Lodge A. D. bad been established on

members of the lodge is included among
the list of the saved, so that the lodge
has no longer an existence. A curious
fact is that a whole lodge of the same
order was lost in the terrible disaster
that overtook the Eurydice in 1878.

Now, This Is Fishing.
Frank Vinton and others caught a 800
pound sturgeon last week and made the
line fast to a young tree standing on
shore. Later, when they went to draw
the big fish to land, they found it had es
caped by pulling the tree up by the roots
and taking over 80 feet of small rope
along. The fishermen have three other

A continuous down pour of rain, inclem
