Denver News. a Like a Tale that Is Told. was one of tuoso June afternoons when one is tilled with the Joy of living, and Loudon was bathed In mellow sunshine. Mrs. Varney leaned back in her victoria as It bore her through the park nud along Piccadilly, delighting in tho beauty of the day, the vast blucncss above her nnd the hum of moving life around. She was one of the women who enjoy life and love to bask In the sunshine. As they passed an Imposing-looking club, a man stand ing on the step raised his hat In re sponse to Mrs. .Varney's signal the car riage drew up to the curb and he came across the pavement. . 'Whnt a glorious afternoon," she said, after the first greeting, 'and I am going to spend an hour of It under a roof.". "Any particular roof ?" "The Academy." "Won'.t It be stuffy?" "Will you try tho experiment with me, or arc you otherwise engaged V" "I am at liberty, and shnll be delight ed He took his seat beside her, and they drove on once more. "I was so pleased to meet you again," ihe said, with a ring of genuineness in ber tone. "And I am glad of this opportunity for a quiet talk; it was an Impossibility the other evening. You have been ibroad ten years what are your Im pressions on returning? It must be so very Interesting to go away for such a long time." "It was not always Interesting." "The coming buck must be meeting people again and driftiug Into the same current once more." "Yes, I And a pleasure In seeing things and people." She Hashed one of her bright smiles at blra "I was a girl In the schoolroom when you came to say goodby; It seems cen turles ago." "You had a brown plait down your back." "My pigtail! Oh, I discarded that loon afterward. I came out that win ter you know. Married Mr. Varney the following spring, and have been a widow four years. It represents a life- time, doesn't It? Have I altered very much?" He looked down at the beautiful, smil ing face. "If It were not for the regrettable ab- lence of the pigtail, I should say not at . ill." "How nice of you. But, really, I have altered, of course. And you look- older." "I feel older." There, wns something of sadness In bis voice. "I was not a very young man when I went out, and India especially that llt tlo elt yon the Plains does not tend to rejuvenate one." "I wonder why you stayed.' "I was the fifth llfo from the title, and i poor man." 'I see. How strange It all Is." The carriage turned Into the court yard of Burlington House, and they illghtcd. "You have not seen the pictures yet, pf course," she said, as they went up . the stairs. "No, my time has been fairly well oc cupied, for tho two weeks I have been borne." "Then I must show you all those that ire talked about, and one or two I like. that are not talked about." Conversing lightly, they entered the rooms and Mrs. Varney drew her corn- portion's attention to the pictures of tho year, showing a good knowledge of her catalogue, and nmuslng him with wltti clsnis. As they entered tno third room a small picture "on the line" caught his eye, so that he went forward, almost abruptly "I spent my boyhood there and left It behind me." His voice wns very grave, and a tired look had coma Into his worn, brown Tnce, so that sho checked tho Idle words iplng to her lips and stood beside him In silence while ho gazed at the little ilcture, uud stood before it "Number 2237,"" Mrs. Vnrney said tonsultlng her catalogue. "Tho Old Church nt Brentwell lu Norfolk." Perhaps her greatest charm was that the always understood. lie turned In a moment or bo. "It was very good of you to bring mo here," he said. "1 am glad you havo been Interested. Now, Bhnll we go back Into the sun Bhlue; I was going ou to :ny sister's to tea. Do you remember Ethel, the other Jlgtall? She Is married now. Will you come and see If sho has altered?" "Thanks, 1 shall bo pleased." When tho slow afternoon train stop pod at Barton Gate, Lord Furohavett nllghted from a llrst-class compartment, the ouly traveler. "Luggage?" Interrogated the porter, "No, I have only my bag; can you send It on to tho Crown at Brentwell?" "There's uo fenr o' that, I think. Some 'uu is sure to be goln' that way. If not, I'll send one o' my boys." So Lord Farehaven went through tho gate and along tho well-remembered road to Ureutwell Village, a distance of two miles, which he soon covered with his easy, swinging stride. There had been no one to speak of lu tho Crown nil day, for It was haying time aud every mau was In the fields, An old man sat bv the fireside, although no tire burnt on the hearth, and smoked meditatively; no sound save tho tick of n grandfather's clock broko the silence, Then n firm step sounded without, a hand raised the latch, and Lord Fare- hnven entered tho low-celled kitchen which served also as bar. "Good day, Mr. Holfe," he said pleas antly, "Good day to yew. sir, though I doan't rightly know hew yew be." "A stranger to these parts for many years. My name wns Steele Hubert Steele when I lived about here, "Steele? Ah! my memory ain't what it wasi I'm going on eight-four year come Michaelmas, y' see, an' I forget names an such like." "Can I have a bed here to-night?" "Ah! that yew can. I'll Just call my gran'darter," the old man replied, rls- Ing to the back door, which, when open ed, .disclosed n vista of meadowlands and haystacks. '"Liza! 'Liza!" he called In his old, feeble voice. "Where's that there mawther gone? Arter them chaps that's raklug In the meddcr, I'll lay. 'Liza He hobbled out of sight, nnd Lord Farehaven sat himself on the warm sofa that he remembered to have stood In the same place twenty years ago when Gabriel Rolfe had been a hale old man with a face like a ruddy pippin and with a hearty voice. Liza came In presently, n shy girl of some 10 years, and from her he learned n good deal of the changes time had wrought In the little village. Then he ordered some dinner to be prepared for him, and strolled out Into the village street and toward the church, The old church at Brentwell stands ou slightly rising ground and commands an extensive view of the broad fen land. Lord Farehaven leaned upon the low stone wall that skirts the churchyard, gazing at the sacred edifice, while his boyhood memories crowded thick nnd fast around him. He remembered Just such a June evening as this sitting be side his mother In the old worm-eaten oak pew, listening Indolently to the ser- vice, with his attention wandering ever and again to Pleasance Greenacre. sit- " I ting on the other side of the aisle, some times turning her gray eyes shyly to meet his, nnd a shaft of golden light striking through the west window, turning her long, fair hair Into a living name. How lie nad adored ner twenty years ago. He wondered if she were alive a wife aud mother perhaps; and wondering still, entered the Iron gate and walked among the green graves, some with stones at their head, some neglected and forgotten. In one corner he came upon a little flower-covered Brave, surrounded with white stones, ond having a cross at the head. It bore these words: "To the memory of Pleasance Orcen- acre, who died on Easter Day, 1S85." The setting sun shone full upon tiie stone, as In years gone by It had shone on Pleasance Greenacre's golden hair. It was Sunday afternoon nnd Mrs. Varney had strolled Into Kensington gardens, preferring tho sonde of the trees to her drawing room a view shared entirely by the two fox terriers who accompanied her. She found a comfortable shady seat, and settled herself down to think; and her thoughts were of Lord Farehaven. She called him Hubert to herself, be cause he had been Hubert when ho was her brother's greatest chum, In the days before ho went to India. Hubert Steele had been her Ideal, and Lord Farehaven did not fall far short of It. She had been very glad to meet him again, more glad than she cared to ac- knowledge nnd he had seemed glad, too. Looking up she saw him approach ing, and her pulses quickened. 'I learned you were In the gardens," ho said, seating himself at her bidding, "so decided to follow you." "I hardly expected you to-day, or any one, and so I brought my poor doggies out for a run. They hato London. Havo you been away? I half thought you would be at the opera Inst night. Ethel and I looked In vain for you." "I ran down Into the country for a day, ou Friday, and only returned at 8 last evening." She, remembered tho picture. "And Is It like what it was?" "Like and unlike. It all seems so un real-like a tale that Is told." "I know that feeling as though one hud been sonic one else In those far-off days. Tho past never satisfies me. Some people live In the past; I think tho present Is tho happiest time. It Is a mistake to treasure up dead rose leaves when tho roses bloom every year." "And yet tho scent of the dead leaves Is sweet." 'Not so sweet as tho freshly gathered rosea from tho garden." ted rarely "We may not nil pluck them," ho said. 'Perhaps It Is because we do not dare or do not care," she replied softly. "Gladys," he said, taking her llttlo gloved hand In his own, "Will you show mo where to gather the roses?"

"1 never let a man die at the end of a chapter," the historian Freeman once ; said, "because Johnny Green told me not to." The modern continued story exemplifies a like theory of pausing at the very brink of an absorbing event. We sometimes complatu of a novel which runs a year serially. Let us think on our mercies. The first two parts of the "Astree," one of the most famous of French nov els, were published In 1010. An admlr Ing public waited four or five years for ' the third part aud several more for the fourth and fifth parts. At the same time lived Mademoiselle de Scudery, uiemoruble as tho author of the first romances of any note written by a woman. She composed, and pub lished by Installments, novels of a length unknown to the reeble readers of to-day. Every story was originally Issued In batches of small octavos, sometimes running to n score or so! Mr. Vincent describes her as "tho most piti less writer of fiction that the world has ever known." Tho Bamo seventeenth century Illus trates agnln the willingness of French writers to bide their time. The poet Mnlherbo wished to console a friend on the death of his wife. By the time the poem was finished tho gentleman hud been consoled, remnrrled, und wus him self dead! Left Undone.

The method of these was varied, but the description of the per sons concerned wns repeated and tho figure and Identity of Esther Vance be iran to take form In all of them. That a woman took purt In these exploits Is well known, for, In female attlro, she made no special effort to conceal her self, as one Instance on tho Denver ami Itlo Grande Salt Lake City express will show. The evening train westward was Just pulling Into Colorado Springs when a mnn and a woman drove up on a buckboard with a large case contain ing nn enormous dog. The woman hailed the agent and prepaid tho ex- press charges on the dog to Salt Lake, She attended the box to the car door aud handed the express messenger n gold piece. "Take good care of my dog, won't you?" she said. "I will scud hhn some thing to eat on the train at Marshall Pass, say and give him water, won't you?" At Marshall Pass a man appeared at the car door with some meat and a pan of water. ' I reckon I had better feed him myself," he said. "He's rathor fierce." And thus he gained admission to the car. The pan would not go Into the box and the stranger began with n knife to cut a larger opening for It. In the meantime the train started and the messenger told the visitor be must leave tho car. "In Just a moment," wus the reply, and as the messenger walked back lo open tho door to give him exit tho stranger fired upon nnd shot him fatal ly In the neck. He then admitted his accomplices, who were hidden on the front platform, and leisurely looted the car. Then two of them passed through the train nnd deliberately robbed every passenger. One of those who gathered the watches and money wns told by the other to lot the women alone. "Not at all," was the (.colling retort. "They don't need tho money they never earned, and can get moro tho samu way," This person Is supposed to have been Esther Vance, and there Is some reason to think It was she also who shipped tho dog, eutered the Bleeping car, changed her dress to a man's apparel, and shot the messenger, i . i n.j j . .1. .lei.!. -I ,...!... j-lyyuLHW I I In 18S7, on the n'ght of the 12th of July, tho BooWiiwo htlMi1, with passen gers and mall, broke ilown In it shallow ford through Stony Creek.

This com iiiiuhI was enforced with u pistol by one of the riders, who sat iistr.dn of his borne smoking u cigarette.

No ono has so well hit olT the weak ness of tho old-tlmo counsel about I "early to bed anil early lo rise" as Hie late John (. Snxe, unless It was the great Dr. Arnold, of Hugby fame, who used to say that early rising, though necessary for schoolmasters, was one of the few hardships In life which lialilt did not make more easy. Itemember Ing this, It Is Interesting to lind a writer lu n medical Journal making the stntement that early rising, when ac complished with effort, does uo one any good. "Tho reason," ho says, "Is ob vious enough. There may be truth lu the old copy book saying that 'If you go to bed at 10 you can get up at (),' but, unfortunately, It does not follow that If you get up at 0 you can go to bed nt 10. For one thing, tlie amenities of social life put obstacles lu your path. And In this ease, of course, early rising merely means Insufllclent sleep." The fact Is that the amount of sleep needed by a person to maintain good health, like the amount of food, must bo deter mined by Individual wants aud condi tions. Early rising Is nut per so a spe cial virtue to be cultivated and exhibit ed on all occasions' Under certain phy sical conditions It may be. Indeed, tho very tendency to bo most avoided.
