After Deacon Grafton received hi

he said "She is not the girl for you

The son respectfully but stubbornly
refused to do any such thing There
was more talk, but It left both inev

left the paternal roof and took up hN

"Have you ever experienced the
feeling, Mr. Mann," said a young
lady softly, "that some great oppor
tunity was within your grasp, but
you had hardly the presence of mind,
the courtesy, as it were, to avail
yourself of it?"
"Why er yes, Miss Blank, I
have at times had that kind of a
feeling."
Miss Blank sighed dreamily, and
then there was a pause, during
which the young couple sat in the
semi-darkness of the parlor in pro
found silence. He sat down and
looked helplessly at the glowing
coals ln the grate, with the feeling
that every breath he drew was a
mortifying and ghastly blunder.
"As you were about to say, Mr.
Mann," resumed the young lady,
"thero are times when It seems to
all of us we must speak what is ln
our minds."
"Yes," vaguely answered the be
wildered youth, as he tried to re
member when he had begun to say
anything of the kind. "Yes, of
course."
"And while I am not so sure I
ought to listen to you, Mr. Mann,"
she said, with downcast eyes, "when
you speak to me in this this per
sonal matter, yet"
The young man could feel his
pulse beat a tatoo on the drums of
his ears, but ho sat liko a boy with
his master's eye upon him and said
nothing.
"By the way," exclaimed Miss
Blank, presently, "I have a new
book of engravings, Mr. Mann, that
I am Bure you will enjoy seeing. It
is a largo book, and you'll have to
move your chair. Yes, jou can sit
hero with me on the sofa. I never
thought of that."
The pictures danced before tho
eyes of tho young man In blurred,
confused Images,
"Isn't this engraving of the Court
ship of Florence Dombey and Walter
Gay' perfectly lovely?"
"Wh-whlch in Walter?" he gasp
ed. "Thero! Look closer! Don't you
seo him?"
"Wh-who's he courting?"
"You'll have to come closer, Mr.
I Mann, I declare, though" and she
looked archly at the trembling
youth "I am almost afraid to let
you come any nearer. You look ex
actly like Walter In the picture."
And then the arm of the helpless
young man stole In a timid, apolo
getic, sneaking way around the
waist of the charming Miss Blank,
her head sank upon his shoulder and
the book of engravings fell neglected
to the floor.
"Samuel," she said an hour later,
as she toyed with the button of his
coat, "you bold boy! How on jeartii
did you ever muster courage to ask
me to become your wife? You know
well enough I never gave you a par
ticle of encouragement."
The young man patted her conde
scendingly on the head, and then
said, proudly, with the voice of a
member of the life-saving crew defy
ing the breakers:
"When I make up my mind to do
anything, Sellna, no obstacle on
earth can stop me."
They were married Just three
months after this glad and Joyful
night; and, we are pleased to add,
are very happy together.

Porker Lost and Beats Camel's Rec
ord By Eighty-Slv Days.
BLOOMINGTON, III., Nov. 19.
W. C. MInnIs, a well-known and
truthful farmer of Christian county,
tells the following remarkable
story:
Several months ago, one of his
prize porkers disappeared, and all
efforts to locate It were futile. Last
week It was found wedged ln be
tween a pile of baled hay and the
wall of a shed.
The hog had squeezed itself in be
tween the hay and the wall to a
point about thirty feet from the end
and was prevented from going farth
er by the narrowing space. Here
the animal remnlned for three
months and three days without wa
ter.
The hog appears to be none the
worse for the long fast, although its
weight was reduced from 175 to 60
pounds.

love the trap was set and secretly t
placed beside the rosebush. It wasn't
a rose without a thorn. On the contra-'
ry. It had many thorns, and In crowd
ing Into It to get at the side window
some one had left many bits of gray
cloth. There was also 'a larger and
sharper thorn waiting to mature.
The hour was 11 o'clock, and Miss
Nellie had just answered that she
guessed Thanksgiving day was ns
good day as any other to get married
on when a long drawn yell was heard
under the window outside. At tho
same moment the mother came down
stairs with a lighted lantern In hand
and said:
"Keep your seats, children. It's only
a cat, and I'm going outside to talk
with him. He's yelling as If he was In
pain, but be won't be hurt much."
Deacon Grafton had stepped Into the
widow's bear trap as he sought to got
his ear to a window. Had the teeth
not been blunted they would have gone
to the bone of his leg As It was, he
was held fast, and the pinching was
anything but pleasant The widow
found him lying on the grass nnd try
ing to loosen the trap, and she placed
the lantern where the light fell full on
