On that day he and his wife drove to

BRIARDALE MANOR.
rT was the only pear on the tree,
II and It dangled so perilously over
the roadway that Clssie Melville
had to exercise the greatest care In cut
ting It off. Iteachlng forward, until her
dainty shot feet seemed scarcely to
touch the ladder, she sandwiched the
stalk between two little fingers, drew a
long breath and brought the scissors to
gether smartly.
Setting her red lips, she climbed to the
topmost rung of the frail ladder, clutch
ed the wall and looked over. Then she
pulled back her head with a startled
Jerk, for the perverse pear was reclin
ing serenely on the wooden bench be
low, within easy reach of a dark-haired,
well-proportioned young man.
"He was sitting there when It drop
ped," she thought, "and means to eat
It when the coast Is clear. The wretch!
How dare be?"
Summoning nil her courago to herald,
she coughed twice In a seml-npologetlc
way, leaned over the wall once more
nnd timidly addressed herself to the
occupant of the bench.
"Do you mind handing me that
pear?' she asked. "It fell over as I
was cutting It, and I really can't spare
It. There Isn't another on the tree."
The young mnn made on answer.
"Asleep," said Clssie, "or shamming,
Must I drop stones on his bat, or go
round to him? Perhaps the latter
course would be the wiser."
Tho orchard was a long way from
the gate, but sho ran tier hardest and
reached the bench. Quick though she
had been, however, the young man had
taken advantage of tho Interval to
rouse himself, and was gazing at the
mellow pear with sleepy wonder In his
big brown eyes.
"Your pardon," said Clssie, approach
ing him with sudden shyness; "but that
pear belongs to me. I am clumsy and
allowed It to slip through my fingers."
"Another disappointment," bo said,
restoring the fruit gallantly. "I was
half under tho Impression that some
good fairy bad developed a penchant
for mo nnd scut me tbls as a special
mark of favor, but It seems I was a
little premature. How much farther is
It to Drlardalo Hall, please? That
stone over there says three miles, but
I sincerely hope It's laboring under a
delusion,"
Clsslo reluctantly confirmed tho mile
stone's declaration, and tho strangor
roso with a stifled sigh. She thought
hlni lazy at first, but when no com
menced to walk and she saw bow bad
ly bo limped, ber heart was moved to
pity, and sho impulsively called on him
to stay.
"Do sit down again!" sbo cried. "You
look tired, and they ought to have told
Percy Clinton paid a remarkable
number of visits to the Melvllles after
that, and nowhere could he have found
a more cordial welcome.
Ono beautiful morning In August, the
captain camo Into the garden nnd sat
down beside Clssie. He seemed to be
strangely excited, and the girl's heart
gave a throb of apprehension ns she
looked at blm.
"You have seen old Williams, of Url-
ardale?" she said, as carelessly as she
could, though she fervently hoped bis
answer would be "No."
I have," he replied, with a nervous
little laugh. "By climbing the wall
and dropping Into the garden I man
aged to catch blm unawares and when
he saw there was no possible escape
for him he held out bis band nnd said
be was delighted to see me. Did you
ever know such bare-faced hypocrisy?
After I'd spent the best part of the
summer In hunting him too."
"I think It was nice of the old man,
said Clssie, wishing be would tell bis
news without beating about the bush
"Was he so scrupulously polite all the
time?"
"Almost too much so," responded
Percy gloomily. "If bo had stormed
about the place and torn his hair, I
think I could have bargained with him
better, but ho was so suave that my
own courtesies sounded blunt nnd stiff.
In short, he refused to let me have the
manor."
"What a shame!" cried Clssie, with
a flash of girlish petulance, which
gave nn added loveliness to ber face.
"There Is Just one hope for me, MIfs
Melville," said be, leaning forward in
his chair and lowering bis volco a lit
tle, "but I fear it is rather a forlorn
one. Old Williams objects Jo mo be
cause I am a bachelor. If I will agree
to marry nnd promise to give no noisy
parties, be will sell me the bouse."
Some of the color left Clssle's checks
and all unconsciously she gripped tho
laco that fluttered above ber palpltat
lng bosom.
"It should not bo bard to fulfill a
condition like that," sho said, trying to
smooth a telltalo catch out of ber voice.
"Noisy parties are not fashionable In
Brlardale, and men can always get
married."
"So they can," ho' responded earnest
ly, "but not always to women they most
desire. I am ambitious, Miss Melville,
nnd I want to marry the sweelest, love
liest and kindest girl In all the world.
If she will not have me, I shall remain
a bachelor for the rest of my life."
"And tho manor will be doomed,"
said Clsslo in a hurried undertone.
"Exactly," ho replied, letting his
band fall pleadingly on hers, "unless
you will It otherwise, Miss Melville."
"It Is a beautiful bouse, Clssie," he
went on, ready at the lightest sign to
clasp her in his arms. "Don't let It go
to rack and ruin when ono little word
will save it. Speak, darling."
Sbo looked at blm with a happy dim
pling smile.
"If tho manor depends on me, Percy,
It will not be desolate long," she mur
mured. "I lovo tho dear old place, and
I lovo Its future owner, tool" Chicago

THE HERO OF SHILOH.
OE.V. ntKNTISS.
Gen. Benjamin M. 1'nrntion, Who Died
Recently In .Missouri.
Gen. Benjamin M, Prentiss, who was
called the "hero of Shlloh," died at
Bethany, Mo. He was 81 -years old
As a young man, in
Illinois, he organlz-
ed a company of
volunteers who did
service when Smith
nnd the other Mor-
inoni) were driven
out of Nnuvoo and
who also fought In
the Mexican war.
When Lincoln call
ed for volunteers In 1801, this company
enlisted almost to a man. Its captain.
Prentiss, was mado a colonel of tho
Seventh Illinois Infantry and soon
thereafter a brigadier general. Ho
marched to Join Grant at Pittsburg
Landing, arriving there three days be
fore the" battle of Shlloh. Prentiss was
given command of a new division,
which entered the battle with only two
brigades. He maintained bis ground
for several hours, steadily fighting,
One of the brigades was beaten back,
and the other, after a heroic resistance,
was compelled to surrender. The gen
cral, after six months' captivity, was
released In October, 1802, and appoint
ed a major general tho following
month. He was a member of the court
martial convened to try Fltz John Por
ter. In 1803 Gen. Prentiss resigned
bis commission and devoted himself to
civil pursuit's.

he was past middle ago the wags of ! big houso Mrs. Kuhn was crying "Como
the district often nmused themselves quick, my husband Is dying." Ho enme
by suggesting thnt ho take to himself
a wife. The old man did begin to think
of marrying. Two years ago ho asked
his nearest friend to find blm a wife,
and the friend he nsked wns the broad
shouldered young farmer, Andrew
Smith.
The request camo nt a tlmo when
Smith was growing tired of Sarah
Crane. He thought over It nnd finally
promised to help the old man to
wife. A month later he told him that
he had found him n girl and' at
Fourth of July celebration at Delta,
MRS. SA11AII KUHX
near where the cobbler lived, he Intro
duced him to Sarah Crane. Six months
Inter Kuhn asked the girl to marry
him. She told him he was crazy and
ordered him away. Tho cobbler appeal
ed to his friend Smith again. What
persuasions Smith used to his sweet
heart nobody knows, but three months
later Kuhn and the girl wero married.
Smith's father, who Is n Justlco of tho
peace, married them, and the only wit
ness was Smith. Sarah's parents, when
they heard of tho match, declared that
they would never see their daughter
gain. They kept their word till she
wns In jnll.
With tho marriage tho cobbler's halt-
Its changed. He bought his wlfo ev
erything she asked for and her neigh
bors began to sny that sho had not
dono so badly after all. The only
thing that troubled her crippled hus
band seemed to be the fear that she
might leavo hlni. One day she lightly
threatened to do so. He sought his
friends and asked them what more
they thought he could do for Sarah.
The next day a villager met blm com
ing out of a lawyer's olllco In Slgour-uey.
"I've Just finished the best Job I ever
did In my life," snld the cobbler.

to the buggy and Kuhit told him to tako
tho reins and drive as fast as ho could
to tho doctor's, because he'd been imI
soned. "What else did ho say?" said tho
county prosecutor.
"Well," snld tho witness, "I hesitated
nlxnit taking tho reins. His wife Mild
she didn't know wlint was the matter
with him, but he'd been drinking beer
and eating bologna, m I climbed Into
tho buggy nnd drove toward the doc
tor's. When we got pretty well down
to tho place where you turn I asked
whether we should go to the doctor's or
home, and his wife snld It would Im)
better to tako blm home. Then he
cried. 'No, take mo to Dr. Busby's; she's
poisoned met' I thought not, nnd 'old
blm so, and sho said: 'What makes
you talk so, Chnrley? What will people
think of you talking that way?' He
kept saying: 'She poisoned inc. Snyder,
sho did.' Then sho would juty again
that she had not, nnd for a whllo ho
wouldn't say anything. Ono time dur
ing the drive he turned to her and ask
ed: 'Why did you do It?'"
The doctor was not nt home and tho
cripple, still crying that he had been
poisoned, died In the buggy on tho way
to bis cottage. An autopsy revealed
traces of strychnine In his stomnch nnd
In the beer left lu tho bottle In the road
way was found enough strychnine to
kill a dozen men. On the roadway over
which tho couplo was driven there was
discovered n small glass phial half
filled with strychnine. It bore the name
of a New York firm. On tho trial It
was brought out that this was found
on the sfdo of the roadway on which
the wife bad driven. No evidence of a
purchase of poison by either husband
or wife was discovered.
The prosecution argued that the wom

soned the Ix'cr In tho wagon In tho few
moments when sho wns left alone by

that sho had no means of uncorking tho

thnt Kuhn's dying declaration was an
