W. P. SNYDER.
ltf Superintendent.
My Dear I liuvo received your letter,
and It has recalled many incidents
concerning our childish friendship.
Ten years havo pnssed slnco wo were
last together ton years that havo mado
u great change in both of us. You, be
ing a year older thnn I, must now be
twenty-one. You ask mo to glvo an
account of myself during our separa
tion, nnd 1 will proceed to do so.
Papa died thrco years ago, nnd slnco
imiminn left us some years before his
demise I was left nu orphan nt seven
teen. Papa hnd made a will when 1
was twelve, appointing nn old chum
of his, Charles Edwards, my guardian
and directing that 1 be taken caro of
by Mr. Edwards till I should come of
ago. When papa died his nttorneys
Kent a copy of the will to my guardian,
who directed that I be sent to him.
What do you suppose J found on my
arrival? Tho housekeeper received me.
ami when she saw me 1 thought she
would havo a lit It seems that, my
father's directions having, been laid
down In his will when I wns ten years
old, It was supposed that I wns a
child. Papa and Mr. Edwards had
lived apart and had not Hoen ench other
for ten years. The housekeeper told me
that l must wait till she made differ
ent arrangements regarding my room.
hut I was very tlrod after my Journey
and insisted on going to It nt once.
I was never more amused In my life
when I entered the chamber that had'
been prepared for me. A crib had been
procured for me, and the room wns
strewn with playthings, including
dolls. All these things hnd been
bought new, for Mr. Edwards, being a
bachelor, had never had any family.
I consented to go into another room
temporarily, where I rested till dinner
time.
1 went downstairs 'at 1! o'clock and
found Mr. Edwards had returned from
business. He had been told by Mrs.
Harding, the housekcepeivthnt I was
much older than he supposed, but even
with this he seemed much surprised,
though really the surprise was with
me. I always looked upon papa as nn
elderly If not an old man and sup
posed his friend to be the same. Papa
was forty-six when -he died, nnd Mr.
Edwards was seven years younger, lie
doesn't look much over thirty and is ;is
young in his actions ns in nppenrance.
Wo dined together, and he was vry
good nnd sympathetic nnd , said so
many nlco things about papa, regret
ting that, living In different places.
they hnd been separated. In tho even
ing I overheard him talking with the
housekeeper about me and asking her
opinion ns to whether it would be
proper for hln to keep mo with him.
She sald-thnt so long ns she was In
tho house It would uiot be nmlss, nnd
he snld that since his gunrdlnushtp
would last only n year till I was
eighteen perhaps I had better remain
whero I was.
This settled It, and I was sent to
school, Mrs. Harding, a woman of six
ty, being given full .charge of me. I
found her nu excellent womnn nnd owe
a great deal to her caro and training.
When I came of age my guardian
called me into his study and gavo me
a talk, telling mo that I was now free
to net for myself nnd go whero I liked.
I asked him where I should go, at the
same time wiping the moisture from
my. eyes. Willi this he lost his stiff
ness nnd told me that I might remain
whore 1 was so long ns I liked, but
that I wns now a young lady nnd must
see something of society.
Mr. Edwnrds- had a great many
friends nnd Interested several of them
to get mo lnvltntlpns, but I hnd no one
to escort mo to functions. I wanted
him to do so. but he wouldn't. He
didn't tell mo why, but I know. He
feared people would accuse him of ap
propriating mo to himself, no know
some young fellows nt his club and in
vited them to the houso. This I con
strued to mean Hint I was to havo an
opportunity to select a husband from
them.
Rut 1 didn't.
All the young men ho introduced to
me were very nice If they hadn't been
he wouldn't linvo Introduced thom
but 1 didn't care for their attentions
except to dance with them nnd nil
that, you know, and after a ycnr had
gone by and I didn't make a match
with one of thorn, Mr. Edwards snld
to mo one day:
"Laura, you must remember that you
have a periunnent home to look out
for. and you can't very well mnktj n
home without a husband or wife."
"You seem to have dono so."
"Rut I am not you. I'm past mid
die nge: yoil' are young nnd nt tho
niarrylni; tigo."
"How can 1 mate," 1 asked, "when
the man 1 wish to' marry doesn't wish
to marry nuV"
At this he Marled nnd asked If I had
really given awny my heart I told
him that I didn't like to answer such
a question and that 1 wns pcrfcotly
KntNlU'd to romalti whoro I wns and
would not be driven out. Ho looked
at me strangely at this nnd ended tho
Interview by turning to his newspaper
I think Mr. Harding must have said
KO'.-tethnut to him. for ono day ho said
to me, "Lnuru. if you proposo to make
this house rnur home for life you 11
lia'e to mairv the old fellow who
own It "
We woio uuirrlod the following June,
1 anv ftvy happy. Now that 1 havo
given you an Aenuut of myself I shall
exp -vt you to do the same by mo.
