LONarUQ FOB THE- VTLLAOH I am tired of the city With ita stress and trlfe and noine, And am longing for the village With Us ilnjple homely Joys. Where each face Is so familiar When I pass them on the way As each treads his routine pathway At a certain time each day. There the chickens take possession Of the sidewalk and the street, And the air of sweet contentment Uroods o'er everything you meet. i And no strangers crowd the sidewalks Every hour by night and day. I know them all when strolling Almost half a mile away. There no street cars nor steam whistles Sound alarms by night and noon, But at eve the lonely watchdog Starts his baying at the moon. The secluded little village, Toward its peaceful scenes I'll stray, 'Tis a green spot to Inhabit When I chance to feel that way. Lu Brandon's I Conspiracy. "How can you tolerate it, Lu?" ex claimed Mrs. Gorman. "If he is my brother, I say it Is a shame!" Then, allowing her listener no time to re ply, the energetic little lady rattled on : "I suppose you and Clarence must have an understanding, or you would have discouraged him long ago. Hero has Sidney Lawrence been waiting and serving for you no less patiently than Jacob for Rachel, these seven years and more, and yet my recreant brother is the favored one. Unless yon take him in hand soon your lilies anA roses will wither, and even faithful Sidney will come to worship at a younger, fairer shrine. Everyone sup poses that you and Clarence are en gaged, and yet he has never in so many words made you an offer of mar riage. Now, while -we know that he considers you his betrothed, he does not seem to realize the embarrassing position in which this tedious court ship places you, and should therefore be brought to a knowledge of it or pun ished for his delinquency." During the earlier portion of her friend's remarks a smile hovered around Lulu Brandon's lips, and she continued her task of cutting the leaves of the last new magazine; but as the final sentence was pronounced her face flushed deceply. "My private affairs need not concern the public, Belle," she replied, with rlgnity. "Hut I agree with you that I have been too patient. I acknowl edge myself to be considerably at fault, for I proved an easy conquest, and Clarence may have grown lukewarm in his affection, feeling so secure of mine. Of course a word or two from me and I might become a wife within the next twenty-four hours, but all such words must come from my lord himself." Her bright displeasure gone, with a merry laugh she arose and linked her arm In that of her friend, and leading her to a cozy settee In one corner of the piazza, proceeded to formulate plans by which she could bring her lover to terms without his knowledge of her conspiracy. That evening, at tea, Mr. Clarence Curtis suddenly Inquired: "Been over to the Brandon's to-day, Belle?" "Yes, and, by the way, Clarence, Lu requested me to tell you not to call this veiling, as she will be engaged." "All right, sis; I'll go around to the theater with Roberts." There was a significant twinkle In her eyes as Mrs. Gorman rejoined: "I hope you'll enjoy the play. The Kendal s are drawing large houses." Two hours later Mr. Clarence Curtis was leisurely scanning the crowded theater, bowing to those he recognized, when. Just previous to the rising of the curtain, his friend Roberts exclaimed: "Why, as I live, there's Sid Law rence I Who knew he had returned? I wonder who the lady Is! Can it be possible? It's Miss Brandon! I never supposed she would accept any other escort save yourself. What is it, Cur tis, a lover's quarrel?" "Not to my knowledge. Then ho added, somewhat Impatiently, "I am no ogre. Lu has a right to go where and with whom she pleases." In spite of the indifferent manner and careless tone, Roberts noted that his theater-loving friend took far leas Interest In the play than In the couple who occupied, one of the boxes nearly opposite from where they were seated. Ln had surely never looked so ex quisitely dainty and beautiful as to night She seemed the embodiment of health, all aglow with happiness. Yet the lovely face and graceful figure Ir ritated him by the very leuuty of which he had always been proud. This radiant piece of flesh and blood did not seem so exactly his projerty as for merly. Wr.s It because Sidney Law rence was so attentive? They had been children together, Sid and Lu. and he knew she had always regarded the stu dious, dignified boy and man as an elder brother, while she gave the lova of her young heart to ids comrade and chum. How well he recalled the days, years ago, when Sid had told him with sad eyes and tremulous voice that Lulu had rejected lihsi! lie comforted him as lest he could, selfishly exultirg ln the thought that he ,oKsessed her love unasked, unsought. Strange that his nossesslon never seemed quite so val uable as to-ulghtl He wondered what Sidney was saying to make her smile and bluish so deeply. Well, the act would soon "bo over, and then he and Roberts would go and see them, and so give the public to understand that matters were as. usual between him and Miss Brandon. With this . thought he resolutely turned his attention to the stage, and perseverlngly held it there until the curtain fell. Then, turning to Roberts, lie proposed that they should go over to the opposite box. As they entered it Sidney greeted them in his usual sincere and hearty manner, while Lulu, with a smile, gave her hand first to Clarence and then to Roberts, at the same time motioning her lover to a seat by her side. As Roberts for a few minutes engaged Sid ney ln conversation, Curtis managed to ask Miss Brandon why she had not informed him of her desire to come to the theater. She frankly replied that she had felt no special wish to do so until Sidney unexpectedly called and asked her to accompany him. This pjie told him with a manner so devoid of coquetry that ho felt reassured, and left her with a complacent feeling that he was quite sure of her affection. He called to see her the uexf even ing ns usual, and nothing was said of the recent incident. Clarence's brief jealousy was foiotten, and he calmly accepted the old condition of things. Why should he be in haste to marry even the most charming girl in the world? He hesitated to give up the freedom and luxury of bachelorhood for the re straints which marriage must inevita bly bring. Lulu was such a delightful companion and sweetheart! Would she be equally charming as a wife? Wheth er or not she wished to marry, he never conjectured. He had always lived for his own comfort, and self was his first consideration. So when he left her that evening the words were still unspoken which would bind her to him. and he was yet a free man. A fortnight passed as usual, with no change in the relations of the two. Lulu was a proud girl, and Mrs. Gor man's look of Inquiry every time they now met was hard to bear. Matters reached a climax on the day when Belle incautiously Bald: "I have been scolding Clarence about TEARS HAVE PASSED SINCE THEX. you, Lulu. I tell him he will rue his Indifference when it is too late." "Indeed!" Lulu's laugh was rather forced. "And what did my lord say?" "Oh, that he was sure of you, or something of the sort. He 19 abom inably conceited, though he is my brother." "Are not not all men so?" asked Lu lu, lightly; but her eyes were like sparks. When, at 8 o'clock next evening, Clarence called to see Miss Brandon, the maid informed him that she had Just "went out with Mr. Lawrence." Again the green-eyed demon seized the tardy wooer, and this time It wonder fully quickened his latent love. He re solved to ask the important question at once. Early the next morning he went to the home of his sweetheart, only to find that she had gone out for the day. Clarence was seriously disturbed. He felt that something was wrong. If he could only see Lulu for a few mlu utes, matters would be settled to his satisfaction, he assured himself. But alas! that little word "if" has often proved a barrier stronger than prison walls or iron bands. He was baffled In every attempt to see Miss Brandon alone, until he was forced fo admit that she purposely sought to evade a meeting with him. This only made him more eager and determined to brlns: one about, but more than two months elapsed before he succeeded in securing the long and much desired interview. At last he wrote her a note, requesting some what Imperatively to be allowed to see her privately. The reply was brief, simply stating that she would receive him that evening at 8 o'clock. Promptly at the time designated Clarence entered the familiar parlor and was greeted cordially by Lu, who yet evaded the accustomed lover-liko caress. " 'Great minds run in the same chan nel, Clarence. At the moment I re wired your note I was writing you an Invitation to call." Thli little speech quickly dissipated tbe suspicion which had arisen in his mind at his reception, and he resolved to state the object of his call without delay. "Dear Lulu," he said, taking ber hand ln his, "I have come this even ing to ask you to name an early date for our marriage, I want my wife as soon at possible. She allowed him to retain her hand, but the crimson deepened upon the fair cheeks as she replied: "Clarence, I have something to say which uiuy give you pain. During the last few years I have been dimly con scious that we are not exactly suited to each other, although a month ago I should have Indignantly refuted such an implication from anyone elci. 1 am now fully convinced that If united we should not be Iwpp. More than this," here she spokn very softly and tenderly, "I have been mistaken in the object of my affection, and I now know that I have never truly lovel anyone but Sidney Lawrence." Speechless and pale, Clarence'! ey;s sought hers beseechingly. At Inst he realized the magnitude of his love for the woman his selfishness had put f ever from his life. But he read no hope In her face, and In silence he rose and left her. Years have passed since then. Clar ence Curtis has never married, and the gossips say the handsome -bachelor silently worships the wife of Sidney Lawrence. Waverley Magazine. A GREEN OLD AGE. Enjoyed by a Very Old Tree by tb. Mlaalsalppl. The most ancient living thing on earth is a tree. Exactly where that tree stands Is a mooted question, for many localities lay claim to it, but there have been scientists curious enough to Investigate the various claims, and we can probably arrive at a pretty exact result by a few com parlsor s. Recently somebody has put forth the claim of the so-called "Old Green Tree of the Mississippi Valley," which stands near the river ln Le Claire, la. Its trunk is more than 100 feet in cir cumference and its branches shade a circle of more than 300 feet. It was an ancient tree when the first white man stood under its branches, and has a place In the traditions of the Indian tribes of the Mississippi Val ley dating back long, long before the first white face was seen on the shores of the Western world. There are certain yews In England that were stalwart trees when Caesar landed on her shores. More than a century ago a scientist named Decan role proved to the satisfaction of bot anists that a certain yew standing in the churchyard of Fortingal. Perth shirt, was more than 2,500 years old, and he found another at Hedoor, ln Buclas, which was 3,240 years old at that time. Humboldt refers to a gigantic boa bab tree in Central Africa as the oldest organic monument in the world. This tree had a trunk twenty-nine feet in diameter, and Adanson, by a series of careful measurements, demonstrated conclusively that it had lived for not less than 5,150 years and it lives to day. But even Humboldt was wrong ln his premise. It has recently been proved that there Is a tree in the New World which, of a verity, has lived to "a green old age," for It antedates the scriptural flood about 2,000 years. There is a cypress tree standing In the Province of Chepultepec, Mexico, with a trunk 118 feet 10 inches in cir cumference. This has been shown to be (as conclusively as these things can be shown), about 6,200 years of age. Nor is this so remarkable when one stops to think that, given favorable conditions for its growth and suste nance, the average tree wil never die of old age. Its death is merely an ac cident. Other younger and more vigor ous trees may spring up near it and rob its roots of their proper nourishment ; Insects may kill it ; floods or winds may sweep it away, or the woodman's ax may fell It If no such accident hap pens to it a tree may flourish and grow for century upon century and age upon age. New York Times. FASTEST WAR VESSEL AFL0A1. Has Made Thirty-eight Knots an Hour Vnder Pressure. A series of trials on the River Clyde proves that the Swift, the latest addi tion to the British navy, is the fast est warship afloat, the New York Even ing Post says. She is the largest ves sel of the type ever constructed, dis placing l.SOO tons of water, or twice as much as any destroyer built hither to. She is of extraordinary length 8-13 feet has a beam of 34 1-0 feet, and draws only lOi feet of water. Her armament consists of four four inch guns of a new type, and she burns oil fuel in conjunction with Nor niand boilers. The Parsons turbines have, of course, been fitted. She was designed to steam at thirty-six knots, and, after she had been fitted with new wing propellers, reached this very re markable rate of steaming, while, un der pressure, she made two runs with two more knots to her credit, equiva lent to forty-three land miles an hour. This remarkable vessel was built by Commell, Uilrd & Co.. at Wrkenhead. She has cost considerably over a quar ter of a million sterling to be exact. 280,292 and she is Intended for duty In the North sea as a destroyer of de stroyers. The Mauretanla travels quick ly, but the Swift could easily steam around her in circles, even when going at her best speed. Another Theory.
