CARDWELL Phone 397 With Lakeland Sheet Metal Work ? §? | Mr. Reeder and was sent up to one of , bis stamp mills, where he soon became superintendent. Mr. Reeder thought my father one of the brightest young men in the world and was ready to do anything for bim till he discovered that his em- ployee bad a love affair with his daugh- ter, Agnes. Then he suddenly turned against bim. The trouble was that Reeder had a prospect of soon becom- ing very rich and had begun to cherish ! expectations of Agnes marrying either | a duke or a prince or something of that order. The young couple were in a peck of trouble in consequence of the old man's father must have been uncer- her, for he ordered her to get y to go back east to stay awhile aunt. Agnes seemed disposed to bis commands., She wrote mill and say goodby to her. He did 80 and there was a very affect- ‘ ing scene between the lovers. I lnasmuch as Agnes was making her ! preparations to go east and it was supposed that she was bidding her lover a last farewell, no opposition was made to the two youngsters sceing as much of each other as they Iliked. They spent a whole evening together, during which Agnes told my father that if she married him her father would disinherit ber and that she would lose a very large fortune. Her mother was bitterly opposed to her marriage with my father, for it was she who was determined to exchange the wealth she would inherit for one of those rundown titled foreigners who are in the warket for American heir esses. My father was the more cast down + because, while Agnes talked about her | mother's wishes in this matter, he was not quite sure that Agnes herself was ! vot inclined to the plan of marrylng a title and was accustomed to do pret- ty much as she pleased. However, there was nothing for my father to do but submit, and he sald | goodby to Agnes lugubriously. K One thing he knew—If she was disposed to obedience he could not move her, and if she was not disposed to obedience her parents could not boid her. My father, motwithstanding his em- ployer's opposition to his warriage, was continued in his position and the morning after his farewell left for the mill. He always rode on the outside of the coach and climbed on top, where he resigned himself to brooding over the severest blow one can receive, whether young or old—separation froi a mate. < From Denver the road westward ex- tends for Gifteen miles to the base of the mountains, then rises abruptly. The morning was bright to every one on the coach except my father, and those inside seemed to be having a hilarious time. My father thought nothing of this, for stagecoach travel- ers always become acquainted, and he supposed they were enjoying each oth- | er’s companionship. | ‘They were approaching the base of , the mountains when a volce from be- low called out that Jim Harkaway— ,that was my father—was wanted in- S0000000004004540040 005000 $00000000000000000 00wt asaa Fide.

But the request was repeated, and at last be climbed down and entered the coach. All looked at him expectantly, and one of the men said smilingly: “Every one loves a lover. Cheer up, young man!

Novel Means of Communication. Wounded British soldiers in the hands of the Germans have hit upon a novel way of communicating with thelr families and friends at home. They subscribe small sums of money to the German Red Cross society, but as few of them have any cash they fill up & draft or sign a check to be sent to London and honored. On the back of the draft the banker is requested to communicate the news of the drawer’s Rufus Willard when elghteen decid ed to leave the paternal nest. lnstend of remaining fo the city of bis birtd or going elsewhere in the United States be decided to take a longer fiight He salled for Soutb Americs and. mot content with remniniug on the eastern coast, passed soutbward through the strait and up to Cbiie There be became enguied in busiuess and there was every prusjust thut he would make that couutry his perma nent bome.

After u sojonrn of a few years in Chile Wiilurd thought that if be bad a wife—one from his oative land -he would be Letter con tented. He remembered ome [Leons Aundrews, a very pretty girl, that be had formerly been “sweet” on, and it occurred to him to begin a correspond ence with her with a view to marriage Miss Andrews replied to his letter. and he wrote agaln, the correspond ence growing sweeter and sweeter til) be made a proposal by letter, which was accepted. The young lady realiz ed that it would be difficult as well as inconvenient for bim to return to America to marry her and consented to go to Chile for the wedding This was a very satisfactory arrangement. and Willard was bappy over the pros- pect. He bought a bouse, furnished It and made all essential arrangements for his bride's reception. Miss Andrews wrote him of the steamer on which she would go to Chile, the date of her departure and the date of her probable arrival. Wil lard counted the days till she should come and his loneliness would be end- ed. He had made a number of good friends among the Chileans, and they bad volunteered to do all in their power to make the lady's residence among them a bappy one. One Monday afternoon the ship on | which Miss Andrews was coming was a simple noon wedding to take place on the day of his bride's arrival, to which ‘a few friends were invited. When the steamer arrived Willard was on the dock, looking up to see his flancee. He saw her standing beside a gentleman, and when she caught his eye, instead of greeting waim with a bappy smile, she looked embarrassed. Running aboard, among the first to do 80, he joined the lady, who introduced him to the gentleman beside ber: “My husband.” The voyage had been a long one. She bad met a tascinating man, and the two bad concluded that the most satisfactory solution of the problem would be for them to be married be- fore their arrival in Cblle Willard would accept the inevitable without unnecessary prolonged torture. Thus ends the first part of this story. The second part 18 in this wise: Willard in order to recover from the shock bethought himself of another girl at home who wmight like a hus- band even if he did bring ber to a dis tant land and entered upon another correspondence with marriage in view. He was equally successful in this case as the other, and it was not six months after bis mishap before he was engaged again. A great deal of sympathy bad been enlisted for him in his disappoint ment, and his friends were much i pleased to hear that, after all, he was ito be made happy. He announced that this time he would go for his bride and bring her back with him. A sea voyage was & poor place for con- | stancy when there was temptation at partner. This he did. And when | the rub a second time. Willard in order to get away for 80 long a time was obliged to take in was running smoothly be set sall for the United States with the blessings many friends showered upon him. women sald nothing as to his former matrimonial experience, but the men shouted to him from the dock, “Don’t trust ber on deck without you,” “Be- ware of the captain if be is good look- ing” and other suchb innuendoes upon the constancy of woman. In due time Willard returned with ' his bride. Now that be was married innuendoes would be in bad taste, and it was agreed that tbey should not be made. But owing to the groom's pre- vious mortifying episode every effort | was made by the Chileans to give him and his bride a good sendoff. When ' the ship came in Willard was seen , standing on deck beside a Chilean young lady who had sailed for the United States on the same vessel that Willard had taken when he went to be married. He was the color of a bolled lobster. He descended the gangway with the Chilean lady and. on being greeted ' somewhat wonderingly, introduced her as his wife. “My friends,” he said, “l1 met Mrs Willard on our voyage out, and we were married before landing in New | York.” “Oh, my goody gracious!” exclaimed the women. { | “Why couldn't you have courted her ' ' here,” asked the men, “without going all the way round the Horn and up the Atlantic ¥ “Gentlemen,” said the groom. “if any of you doubt Cupid's power on an ocean | voyage try 1t and see for yourselvea” | | | | | { Formation of California Coast. | The geologists tell us a strange story of the California coast. Ages ago its mountain peaks, mere reefs in a great expanse of sea, rose to such & height that Santa Barbara channel was a vast valley over which roamed the elephant, camel, lion, saber-toothed tiger and other animals whose fossil remains are scattered over the coun- try and some of which are found on thg islands.
