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.
