1 1 Two Lovers i
; ; I By RALPH HAMILTON T
(Copyright, lfl, by th. Wetern Nw
paper Union.)
Tho bolle of tlio villpgc, Gladys
Marcy, had two aspirants for her
favor upon whom she bestowed espe
cial attention.
They were Alan Druse and Morton
Bayno opposltes In every nonso of
tho 'word. They hnd each attracted'
Gludys nnd It was difficult for her to
decide which appealed to her liking
most: Alan, with his flashing, f un
loving ways, or Morton, with a soul
enwrapt in music and seeming always
In a poetic dream.
Alan loved her, or funded he did,
nnd his vlvnclous ways bade fair In
the eyes of tho gossips to outvie Mor
ton bo far as courting went. It had
begun to dawn upon Gladys, howover,
that Alan was somewhat frivolous.
It was all Morton with Gladys when;
In tho church choir at entertainments,
or passing an evening In the Marcy
homo ho wrought from his violin be
wildering witchery of harmony and ex
pression that caused her heartstrings
to quiver with a raro dollght Ho had
never, howover, hinted at anything
moro than friendship. His lncomo was
modest and seemed a steady ono, for
a number of his compositions had be
come generally popular and likely to
remain so, and out of royalties ho had
received ho had ulrcady accumulated
several thousand dollars.
Gladys fluttered visibly one evening
When Morton uppearcd at her homo
iwhllo Alan was already In ovldcnce.
Somehow the manner of tho latter hud
Indicated to her that ho Was on tho
ycrge of u proposal, und sho had won
dered how sho could seek to evade a
direct decision, feeling Instinctively
that sho scarcely knew her own mind
as yet. A curtain sullenncss over
spread tho faco of Alan as he dis
cerned that ho was not to havo Gladys
exclusively for that evening ut least.
Ho looked bored us the parents insist
ed on some music nnd Morton, ever
accommodating, brought out his violin.
It was in the midst of a lovely Bo
nn tu that entranced all his auditors
savo Alan that the unexpected hapr
pencil. Gludys was seuted by tho
lamp on the table when thero was u
quick hiss and then u sudden outburst
of flame. She uttered a vivid screuiu,
her hands went up to her faco with
fruntlc suddenness. Alan shrank back,
qulto unnerved and uffrlghtcd. Mor
ton cast asldo his violin with a fling
and sprung toward her, noting Unit
one sleeve of the light, dainty dress
sho woro was all ablaze. There was a
second explosion, und he hud extin
guished the llutnlng dress when his
eyes closed with a spasm of pain.
Then darkness, so utter for himself
that ho groped blindly about him.
"Is Gladys safe?" fell from his Hps
in uu eager, anxious gasp. "I cannot
seol I fear "
There he paused, appalled. In vain
he strove to strain his darkened vision.
It was only from the exclamations of
the others that he could truce what
was happening I Gladys, Insenulblu
and sustululug frightful faco burns
from the second explosion, hlmsolf
helpless to assist her, the Injured girl
carried to her room, n collapse on Ids
own part, n fading uwuy of all con
sciousness, Its feebl , bowllderlng re
turn, und n realization that old Doctor
Moore was nt his side examining his
eyes.
"Ho probably saved Gladys by extin
guishing her flaming dress," Morton
caught tho physician's tones, "but at
a terrible cost he Is utterly blind I"
It was many days before tho lives
of those disturbed by the startling
event of the' explosion settled down
into tho old peaceful grooves. Only
once did Alan Druse call at the Marcy
home. He was genuinely solicitous.
A glance Into the next room, a sight of
Gladys so shocked him that soon ho
left tho house, nover to return. And
Gladys, understanding, turned her
hend on her "pillow und wept bitterly.
.Then, when her nurso hud left her
) alone, sho stolo to a mirror with her
( eyes almost uffrlghted us sho stnir
gcrcd buck to tho couch. Her beauty
was gonol Sho realized now why
Alan Druso hud fled as from u pestl
lencc.
It wns a week later that Morton
Bnyno knew the worst Ho was told
that' Ids caso was hopeless." For a
time that gentle, scnsltlvo soul was
dumb. Then In sorrow, in self-coun
nel and prayer ho emerged, chastoned,
patient, with a raro smilo upon his
faco and his mind at perfect peace.
"Thero is music l" ho whispered
raptly to himself, and then, half
doubtlngly, but with a longing quiver
in his tono : "There is Gladys to dream
of, to love, oven though sho never
thinks of mo savo as a friend."
Tho mother of Gladys ono day led
tho welcome adored hero who had
saved tho Ufo of her daughter into tho
room whero that daughter sat. She
left those two atlllcted ones alouo,
went out und closed the door. Before
that patient fnco and tho sightless
eyes and at a thought of what this
sacrifice meant to her, Gludys Impul
sively extended her trembling hands to
meet tho groping ono of her visitor.
"Morton i" sno souueu mat name
only, and her head fell upon his broast
Tho faco ofathe blind man was mo
mentarily glorified heart to heart, he
could fool tho responsive thrill to his
ardent own, and lot thero flooded his
jtoul a light that could nover dim the
Mdlance of lasting, perfect love.
PHILOSOPHER'S VIEW OF LIFE
Mr. Qosllngton Tells How Sight of
Funeral Procession Brings Re
flections That Uplift
"As n rule," said Mr. Qosllngton, 1
take n cheerful view. Perhaps when I
get to bo older I sholl he more dole
ful, but It would be hard for me to be
thut way now. For ns far as I've got
llfo hns been pretty good to me. I
have had my llttlo setbucks und now
und then a real Jolt, but on tho whole
my lot hns been happy.
"True I have not accumulated n for
tune, but I havo had work to do and
I have earned a living, I might say a
comfortnblo living; nnd I havo been
blessed with good health. And so for
mo nil nature smiles anu men are
friendly nnd the world Is a plensant
place to live in; I take n cheerful
view us a rule.
"But I will admit that I do have
spells, not of sheer despondency I
would not say that, but times when 1
nm depressed, when things go wrong,
when adverso happenings have nil but
discouraged me; times when I totally
forget what wo should In such days
always remember, namely, that thero
never yet was n storm but cleared off
some time, to loave everything bright
nnd sunshiny as before; there are
times, I say, when oven I, usually so
cheerful, am downcast.
"When thus oppressed I find great
help in funeral processions.
"As tho solemn cortege passes I can
not but reflect that I brill have the
ono great priceless gift nnd blessing
life, with nil its hopes and opportuni
ties; nnd so, with nil respoct and sor
row for tho dead, In this presenco my
own petty troubles vanish, tho clouds
roll back nnd the sun comes out clear
and strong again. New York Sun.

STORK'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND
"Record of Bird's Appearance in 1410
May Be Found In Chronicles of
tho Country.
Tho will to stork of the continent of
Europe, which is encouraged in most,
and oven protected In some, of the
countries to which It resorts to breed,
and round which much story and leg
end have gathered, has been known
for centuries to be nn occasional vis
itor to the British Isles, chiefly to Nor
folk, -but very rarely to Scotland,
though it has never been known to
nest or even nttempt to do so In Brit
ain. However, a record of Its having
nested In Scotland appears in Good
all's edition of the "jelintchchonlcon."
This work. was begun by John For
dun, who died about l.'IS-l, and was
continued by Walter Bower, the abbot
of Inchcolm. ' It is In Bower's chron
icles for 1410 that the story appears.
Tho translation runs thus:
"In tho year of our Lord, four
teen hundred and sixteen, there dlod
on tho morrow of (he birth of St. JjDhn
the Baptist, Master James BIset, prior
of St. Androw's. In this same year,
a pair of storks came to Scotland nnd
nested on top of the church of St.
Giles of Edinburgh and dwelt thero
throughout a season of the yenr; but
to what place they flew away thereaf
ter no one knows."
Commenting on this, Lord Lngle
Clarke snys : "The church of St. Giles,
on which the storks nested, was a now
stone cillllcc commenced In 1387, to ro-
pluco a former church destroyed In
1385, und some of It doubtless forms
part of the cathedral of today."
Mark Twain on Conscience.
Thore Is on record a conversation
that Murk Twain had with Kipling, In
which tho former discoursed on the
conscience. The story Is told by Kip
ling. Ho reports Twuln ns saying:
"A conscience Is like a child. It you
pet It and play with It .and let It have
everything that It wnnts It becomes
spoiled and Intrudes on nil your amuse
ments and most of your grlofs. Treat
your conscience ns you would treat
anything else. When it rebels spank
it bo sovcro with it, prevent Its com
ing to play with you nt nil hours, und
you will secure a good conscience;
Hint Is to say, a properly trained one.
A spoiled one simply destroys tho
pleasures of life. I think that I have
reduced mine to order. At least I have
not heard from It for some time. Per
haps I have killed It from severity
It's wrong to kill a child, but In spite
of all I have said n conscience differs
from a child In many ways. Perhaps
it's best when it is dead."
Ingenious "Fake" Pistol.
A Fronch Inventor has recently
placed on tho roarkot a "fako" pistol.
This weapon, although, in reality an
solutoly harmless, goes off with a very
realistic crack when the trigger is
pulled. It also makes a blinding flash
calculated to scare any burglar.
Inventions of nn oven moro coiupll
catcd nature aro constantly bolng
henrd of. A well-to-do gentleman liv
ing in Surroy has rccontly had his
house nnd grounds fitted with an elnbo
rato burglar trap. With tins devlco a
midnight marauder cannot approach
near the houso without setting a nuin
ber of electric bells within a-rlnglng.
And should the burglar not hear them
and actually enter tho building he
would bo caught in a vise by ono of
tho many steel contraptions cunningly
placed ubout. London Tlt-Blts.
Second Thoughts.
Mrs, Justwcd When I married I re
solved to yield to my husband in every
thing. Mrs. Langwcd So did I, And then
, rosolved never to act ou that resc-otlon,
Ben L).vmond was out of a Job and
there ns r. hungry wife and child nt
home. He had wandered the streets all
tho morning without meeting with the
lenst encouragement ns to employ
ment. Footsore, down-henrted, faint
from the want of food, ho was rest
ing on a refuse box In front of a ho
tel when a bareheaded man In .over
ulls came out on tho sidewalk, observed
hla woe-begone appearance, nnd ac
costed him.
"Ready for n two hours' task?" ho
Inquired Incidentally.
"Ready for two years, night nnd
day, so the homo folks have regular
meals I" responded Ben with, alacrity.
"Well, there's fifty cents an nour in
it," volunteered the other. "Come on.
Hello 1 no drink In this, I hope?"
"Never touch that." said Ben. Tiien
with n weary smile: "isotmng pa
rent a counle of crusts since last
night," for ho hnd staggered and his
companion had mlstniten tnc cause.
"Very well, you come witn me, "
directed. "The meal win ne n goou
one, nnd thrown In with the dollar,"
and Indeed It was a famous meal In
tho hotel kitchen. There wns more
thnn n plenty. Ben nte sparingly un
til onn of the cooks, comprehending tho
sltuntlon, shoved In his pockot a box
filled with choicest vlnnus anu "iuncn
at bedtime sec?"
Ben wns taken to the roof or tno
hotel, where ho was given a carpet
beater and n pllo of possibly a hun
dred small rugs. He attacked them
with a will. In an hour and ..a quar
ter bv tho clock he hnd complcteii nis
task und his employer handed him n
dollar bill.
"I haven't worked tho full time,'
submitted Ben.
"No, hut you'vo done two hours nv-
erage work, all the same. Now per
haps there's some odd work for to
morrow. You stay here till I hunt up
the mnnagor nnd find out"
Ben wns nothing loath ns to seat
ing himself on the cornice nnd resting
up. He beenme aware of a commo
tion In the street, and peered four
stories down. Across the street was;
a great skyscraper, nnd in its shade
a crowd was gathered, eyes fixed sky
ward. Bon followed their gaze. Dan
gling from n telephone wire wns a
pigeon.
The nleeon had struggled Into nymg
position, fluttered up nnd took oft in
a violent dash. The string held and
the bird wus Jerked bnck to helpless-
ness. women grnooou um ' m
men they did not know nnd Implored
them to "do something 1" wortness
prayers soomeu concuiurmt:u
anxious, sympathetic Hps. Again the
well-nigh exhausted pigeon fluttered
drew tho string loose, tumuieti
wearily through tho air and dropped
inert at the feet of tho Interested nnd
nltvlnc Ben. Its eyes were open, Us
breath came In spasms. As he took It
Into his hands and caressed It Ben no
ticed a small metal disk surrounding
runs font. O.lonrlv traced upon It
wcro tho words : "Carrier dove, regis
tered A 32. Property of Arthur Blake,
32 Webster terrace. Return or report,
at owner's cost."
The man who had hired Ben showed
up to tell him thnt he could como to
work on the morrow. Ho stared at tno
pigeon and listened with Interest to
Ben's explanation.
"It must bo a bird of somo value,"
he snld. "Webster terrace? Tiiars
only a mile from here. I say, you
stand a good chance, of a reward for
taking It to this Arthur Blake."
"I'll do Just that," declared. Ben.
"Not that I want tho pry, but tho poor,
gentle thing's heart Is beating like a
trip hammer," and he placed It within
his cont und was on his way with his
now adventure at once. Ills destina
tion proved to bo a handsome man
sion on n select thoroughfare. Tho
servant who admitted him led him to
a room where But a stately old ludr,
who took the bird from Ben's hand
nnd held it as lovingly to her breast as
though It was somo cherished child.
She asked Ben a number of questions,
thanked him for his restoration of the
bird, und cxplnlned that it wns a val
ued pet of her son. Sho took up her
purso und insisted on Ben accepting
n $5 bill, and lifting a wing of tho
pigeon drow forth a compact little wad
of paper secured to a tiny metal ring,
opened it, perused it and rend aloud
tho words: "Come back and for
f orglvo 1"
Later Ben knew thnt this missive
was from tho former flanco of Arthur
Blake, n Miss Ethel Brent. They had
quarreled over a trifle. Blake had beon
disappointed In receiving no word frora
his petulant lovo nnd had Just left
the houso bound on a long Journey.
Tho old mother nroso to hor feet deep
ly excited. Sho asked Ben to hasten
to a certain railroad depot, to board
tho Sunset Limited, to hand to her son
tho little note and explain how he had
come by It
Just as the train was about to pull
out Ben sped by tho gate guard, swung
to a rear parlor coach, mado a volu-
bio Inquiry, placed In tho hands of
a handsome young man tho tiny note,
nnd both left tho train Just as it was
moving out. As they parted, nnd Ar
thur Blnko hastened to seek his con
trite sweetheart, ho pressed upon Ben
half the contents of his purse, sulll-
dent to keep the wolf from tho door
for many a day to como.
