f in some ways Tom Pollard is the
most congenial man 1 ever knew. Ton
have to say "don't' to him all the
time, but what woman doesn't like a
little Impertinence once in awhile? I
flavor all Tom's daredevil kisses with
kinship when I feed them to my con
science, and I truly try to make him be
serious about the important things In
life, like going to church with his
mother and working all day even If he
Is rich. I wish he wasn't so near kin
to me! Now. there, 1 feel In Ruth
Chester's way again ! One of the things
that keeps the devil so busy i3 taking
helpless widows to the heights of
knowledge and showing them king
doms of men that girl3 never dream
even exist. If all women could have
been born with widow eyes things
would run much more smoothly along
the njarriage and giving In marriage
line. And the poor men are. most of
them, as ignorant as girls about what
to do.
I suppose I really would be doing a
righteous thing to marry Mr. Graves,
and I would adore all those children
to start with, but I know Billy would
not get on with them at alL 1 can't
even consider it on his account, but I'll
let the nice old chap come on for a
few times more to see me. for be really
is interesting and we have suffered
things in common. Mrs. Graves lacked
the kind of temperament poor Mr.
Carter did. I'd like to make it all up
to him, but if Billy wouldn't be harpy
that settles it, and I don't know how
pood bis boys are. I couldn't have
Billy' corrupted.
! And so. as there Is nobody else ex
actly suitable In town. It all simmers
down to one or the other of these or
Alfred. In my heart I knew that I
couldn't hesitate a minute, and In the
Cash of a second I decided. Of course
I love Alfred and I'll take him gladly
and be the wife be has waited for all
these six lonely years. I'll make ev
erything up to him if I have to diet
to keep thin for him the rest of my
life. I likely will have that very thing
to do, and I get weak at the idea. Be
fore I burn this book I'll have to copy
It all out and be chained to it for life.
At the thought my heart dropped like
a sinker to my toes, but I hauled it up
to Its normal place with picturing to
myself how Alfred would look when
he saw me in that old blue muslin
done over into a Bene wonder. How
ever, old heart would show a strange
propensity for sinking down into my
slippers without any reason at alL
Tears were even coming into my eyes
when Tom suddenly came over the
fence and picked me and the heart up
together and put us into an adventure
of the first water.

Blue Absinth.
1 0L.L.Y." Tom said in the most
nonchalant manner imag
inable, "we've got a dandy,
strolling gypsy band up at
the hotel, the dining room floor is all
waxed and I'm asking for the first
dance with the young and radiant Mrs.
Carter. Get Into a glad rag and don't
keep me waiting."
' "Tom."' I gasped.
"Ob, be a sport, Moll, and don't take
water! You said you would wake up
this town, and now do it. It seems
twenty Instead of six years since I
had my arms around you to music,
and I'm not going to wait any longer.
Everybody is there and they can't all
dance with Miss Chester."
, That settled it I couldn't let a vis
iting girl be danced to death. Of course
I had planned to make a dignified de
but under my own roof, backed up by
the presence of ancestral and marital
rosewood, silver and mahogany, as a
widow should, but duty called me to
deweed myself amid the informality
of an imrromprn dance atthe little
town hotel. And in-the" fifteen min
utes Tom gave me I deweeded to some
purpose and Cowered out to still more.
I never do arything by halves.
. In that that trousseau old Rene
bad made me there was one, what she
railed "simple" lingerie frock. And It
looked just as simple as the check It
railed for, a one and two ciphers back
if it It was of linen as sheer as a
cobweb, real lace and tiry, delicious
Incrustations of embroidery. It fitted
In lines that melted into curves, had
enticements in the shape of a long sash
and a dangerous breast knot cf shlm
mery blue, the color of my eyes, and I
looked newborn in it.
I'm glad that poor Mr. Carter was
so stern with me about rats and things
In my hair, now that they are out of
style, for I've got lots of my own left
In consequence of not wearing other
people's. It clings and coils to my
head Just any old way that look3 as if
I had spent an hour on it. That made
me able to be ready to go down to Tom
In only ten minutes over the time be
gave me.
I stopped on next to the tottorn step

had gone.
I have turned out that light lots of
times, but I felt it best to let Tom see
me in a full light when we were alone.
It is well I did! At first it stunned
him. and it Is a compliment to any
woman to stun Tom Pollard. But Tom
doesn't stay stunned long, and I only
succeeded in suppressing him after ho
had landed two kisses on my shoulder,
one on my hair and one on the back of
my neck.
"Molly," he said, standing off and
looking at me with shining eyes, "you
are one lovely dream. Your shoulders
are flushed velvet, your cheeks are
peaches under cream, your eyes are
blue absinth and your mouth a red
deviL Come on before I get drunk
looking at you." I didn't know wheth
er I liked that or not and turned down
the light quickly myself and went to
the gate hurriedly. Tom laughed and
behaved himself.
Everybody in town was up to the
hotel and everybody was nice to me.
girls and all. There is a bunch of
lovely posy girls In this town and they
were all in full flower. Most of the
men were college boys home for vaca
tion, and while they are a few years
younger than I, I have been friends
with them for always and they know
how I dance. I didn't even get near
enough to the wall to know it was
there, though I was conscious of Aunt
Bettie and Mrs. Johnson sitting on It
at one end of the room, and every time
I passed them I flirted with them until
I won a smile from them both. I wish
I could be sure of hearing Mrs. John
son tell Aunt Adeline all about it
And it was well I did come to save
Ruth Chester from a dancing death,
for she is as light as a feather and
sails on the air like thistledown. I felt
sorry for Tom, for when he danced with
me he could see her, and when he danc
ed with her I pouted at him, even over
Judge Wade's arm. I verily believe It
was from being really rattled that he
asked little ret Buford to dance with
him by mistake as it were. After
Molly, you aro one lovely dream.
that if Tet breathed a single strain of
music out of his arms I didn't see it
I knew that gone expression on his
face and it made me feel so lonesome
that I was more gracious to the Judge
than was exactly safe lie dances Just
as magnificently as he exists in life,
and it is a kind of ceremonial to do it
with him. The boys all wore white
flannels and most of the men. but the
Judge was as formally dressed as he
would have been In midwinter, and I
wondered if Alfred could be half as
distinguished to look at I suppose my
eyes must have been telling on me
about, bow grand, Ithpughthewas
timVto the music "as" if IFwouldTnever
tire of doing so. Miss Chester and I
exchanged little laughs and scraps of
conversation in between times, and I
fell deeper and deeper in love with
her. Every pound I have melted and
frozen and starved off me has brought
mf nearer to her. and I Just can't
think about how I am going to hurt
her In a few dars now. I put the
thought from me and so let myself
swing out into thoughtlessness with
one of the boys. And after that I
really didn't know with wnom i was
dancing, I began to get so intoxicated
with it alL
I never heard musicians play better
or get more of the spirit of dance in
hir music than those aid tonisrnt.
Thvy had Just given us the most lovei.
swinging things, one after another,
when suddenly they all stopped, and
the leader drew his bow across his
violin. Never in all my life have I
ever heard anything like the call of
that waltz from that gypsy's strings.
It laughed you a 6ignaL and you felt
yourself follow the first strain.
Just then somebody happened to
take me from whomever I was with,
and I caught step and glided off the
universe. The strongest arms that I
had felt that evening or ever held
me, and 1 didn't have to look up to
kpo who it was. I don't know why I
knew, but I did. I wasn't clasped so
very close to him or left to float Dy
mvself an Inch. I was Just a part of
him like the arms themselves or the
hand that mine molded into. And
while that wonder music teased and
cajoled and mocked and rocked and
sobbed and throbbed I laid my cheek
against his coat sleeve and gave my
self awn v. i didn't care to whom.
Again that strange sense of some
wonderful eternal good came to me,
and T found mvself hummlnc Billv'S

him before, of course, but I felt as if
I had been doing it always, and I
melted in his arms as that baby had
wilted to his mother out In the cabin
a few hours earlier, and I don't see
how such happiness as that could stop.
But with a soft, entreating wail the
music came to an end, and there the
doctor was. smiling down into my
face with his whimsical, friendly
smile that woke me up all over.
"Somebody has stolen a rose from
the Carter garden and brought it to
the dance." he said with a laugh that
was for me alone.
"No." I flashed back, "a string bean."
And with that I danced off again with
the Judge, while the doctor disappear
ed through the door, and I heard the
chug of his car as it whirled away.
He had Just stopped in for a Eecond to
see the fun. and God had given me that
gypsy waltz with him because be knew
I needed something like that in my
life to keep for always.
This has been a happy night In
which I betrothed myself to Alfred,
though he doesn't know it yet I am
going to take it as a sign that life for
us Is going to be brilliant an! gay and
full of laughter and love.
I haven't had Billy In my arms to
day, and I don't know how I shall
ever get myself to sleep if I let myself
think about it His 6leep place on my
breast aches. It Is a comfort to think
that the great big God understands the
womenfolk that he makes even if they
don't understand themselves. .

This morning Aunt Bettie came up
my front steps before breakfast with a
large basketful of things for my din
ner, and I wondered what I would
have collected to be served to those
people by the time all my neighbors
had made their prize contributions. It
took Aunt Bettie and Judy a half hour
to unpack their things and set them in
the refrigerator and on the pantry
shelves. One was a plump fruit cake
that had been keeping company in a
tight box with a sponge soaked in
sherry for ever since New Year's. It
was ripe, or smelled so. It made me
gnaw under my beit
A little later Judy was exclaiming
over a two-year-old ham that had been
simmered in port and larded with egg
dressing, when Mrs. Johnson came hi
and began to unpack her basket which
was mostly bottles of things she said
she used to "stick" food. The ginger
colored barber got the run of them be
fore the dinner was over and got bad
ly stuck, so Judy says. That's what
made him make the mistake.
I had planned to have a lot of strange
food and had ordered some tilings up
from a caterer In the city, but I tele
phoned the expressma-a not to de
liver them until the next day, even if
they did spoil. How could I use soft
shelled crabs when Mrs. Wade had
sent me word that she was going to
bake some brook trout by a recipe of
the Judge's grandmother? Mrs. Hamp
ton Buford had let me know about two
fat little summer turkeys she was go
ing to stuff with corn pone and green
sage, and fillet mignon seemed foolish
eating beside them. But when the lit
tle bit of a baby pig, roasted whole
with an apple in its mouth, looking too
frisky and innocent for worlds with
his little baked tail curled up in the
air, arrived from Mrs. Caruthers Cain
I went out into the garden and laugh
ed out loud at the idea of having spent
money fqr lobsters, to be shipped alive
and to be served broiled in their own
shells.
When I got back In the kitchen
things were well r.rder way. every
thing smelling grand and Aunt Bettie
in full swing matching up my dinner
guests.
"Nobody in this town could suit me
better than Pet Buford for a daughter-in-law,
and I believe I'll have all the
east rooms done over in blue chintz for
her. I think that wonld be the best
thing to set off her blue eyes and com
silk hair," 6he was saying as she cut
orange peel into strips.
"You've planned the refurnishing of
that east wing to suit the style of
nearly every girl In nillsboro since
Tom put on long trousers, Bettie Fol
Iard, and tbey are Just as they have
been for fifteen years since yon did
over the whole house," sa5d Mrs. John
son as she poured a wineglass half
full from one bottle and added a table
spoonful from another.

Gen. Amasa Cobb, ex-United
States senator from Wisconsin,
banker at Lincoln, and a gentle
man generally, called on the Her
ald yesterday.
One more unfortunate look too
much beer, boat went and left
him, made him feel queer. On
the afternoon of Hie Fourth, jut
after the storm, a fellow from
over in Iowa, got plum full of the
worst kind of tanglefoot and
shouted and yelled around Main
l ree I, just howling fur some fel
low not over 132 pound's to come
and lick him. Frank Guthman,
after politely asking him a dozen
times to move on or shut up, hit
him a gentle tap on the cranium
which keeled him over in the gut
mudder; he arose covered with
mud, and diving for the river
plunged in and washed himself,
and dripping as tie was he again
-allied up Main street, hunting
some fellow not over 132 pounds
to lick him. Geo. Fickler took
hold of him next, for using
obscene language in front of his
door, and when George was
through the fellow struck a bee
line for the river, and got into a
skiir tie had there and pulled out
for Iowa. Thai's all he knows
about it; the next morning old
man Doty heard a fearful veiling
on an island below here and went
out in a boat to see what, was the
matter, when he found our
Fourth of July friend safe and
sound, but awful dry and badly
demoralized for grub and a
knowledge of how he came there.
All that he could say was "that
tie was rowing away with all his
might and the boat just went out
from under him." Verily some
kind of providence watches over
drunken men.
Our esteemed friends Messrs.
I. N. Cory and J. V. Wiley have
organized a number of classes in
vocal music, at Three Groves and
Weeping Water. This is a move
in the right direction, and we
trust these gentlemen may be
successful in "teaching the young
idea how to sing." Vocal music
is very much neglected in our
public school-; in fact we believe
the better . method of learning
music is independent of the day
school. These gentlemen have
organized six or eight classes in
different localities, and which
meet and practice once in each
week. We had the pleasure of at
tending ttie meeting of the class
at the Oldham school house a few
days ago. The exercises were
conducted by Mr. Cory, who
seems an adept in this delightful
art and science. We were much
pleased with the manner in which
Mr. Cry conducted the school.
There is much need for improve
ment in this branch of education,
and we trust that Messrs. Cory
and Wiley may continue the good
work.
Our rounly fair has come and
gone, everyone pronounces it a
success, considering the season
and the weather.
There were more entries than
last year, and the amount of cash
taken at. the gates .amounts to
$787. in. - The Treasurer; Mr. W.
I?. Poller, feels as happy as a
girl with her first beau, over the
result, and all the officers think
the fair has been a credit to the
county. Judge Kinney, of Neb
raska City, ami Major Peannan
of ttie same place, one a good
stock man and the other some on
fruit; both said our display was
very creditable and equal to any
county fair in state, so far.
Our fruit display was not so
large, but the quality and variety
were excellent. We publish, in
full, the premiums as awarded,
and they will speak for them
selves. Several amusing incidents oc
curred. One fellow was arrested
and marched otr the grounds.
On the last day, when the Misses
rode, little Miss Gilmore was re
peatedly cheered for her coura
geous and handsome horseback
exploits. The little lady look a
regular race around the track, af
ter the premium was awarded her,
and the clapping of hands and
cheering could have been heard at
town. The attendance Thursday
and Friday was good. Carriages
lined the enclosure near the track
on Friday, tilled with the fair wo
men and brave men of Cass county.
One of the grandest and pleas
ant est times we have enjoyed
lately was the ball ami reception
at Omaha on the evening of ttie
loth, under the auspices of the
Grand Chapter and Grand Coiu
mandery of the stale of Nebraska.
The Sir Knights wore really pic
turesque uniforms. Col. Cham
pion S. Chase marshaled the
glorious cavaliers through the
vast corridors of the Grand Cen
tral and into the spacious dining
room cleared for the occasion
when they opened ranks, faced
inwards, and all the greatest,
biggest, highest, most profound
est excellencies of the Masonic
Order in this slate and those of
the same rank attending' from
other stales, marched between
the ensabred hosts; each knight
with his magnificent chapeau en
dormant on his left shoulder
strap while he presented his cold
steel with his risrht gauntlet ed
hand and tried to stand al ease.
During this performance the
doors of the dining room and the
windows, looking therein were
crowded with eager and curious
faces witnessing this unique
ceremony. The dancing shortly
after commenced and Omaha's
fjiir-psl (laughters, resplendent in
silks, satins and
shone. fairly
Knights of the
diamonds, out
(ulshone the
Golden Cross,
brilliant as their uniforms
and grandly as they

Among the notables present
from our town were: Sir Knights

and J. W. Marshal, and among
the inviied guests Mesdanies
Wise .m.l Livingston and Hon. T.

Wheeler, as usual, insisted on
making everyone happy that, he
knew and showering ribbons and
favors on his friends from all
parts.
At the banquet the evening be

Messrs. F. F. While, II. Newman,
Geo. Smith and Jacob Vallery.
The -whole affair was very enjoy

' The .Educational Association
of Cass county was organized
about, a year ago, but from some
j cause or causes there has been
no meeting since the one held at
Mt. Pleasant in March last. Now
that the winter term of school in
the different- districts is either
begun or will soon begin, would
it not be well to revive this or
ganization? There is certainly
ability enough among the teach
ers of Cass county to sustain an
organization of this kind, and
the benefits accruing therefrom
would be great indeed. We
should be glad to hear from
teachers and friends of educa
tion on this subject, and trust
that at an early day we may have
regular meetings of this or
ganization. An article in the Watchman
some two weeks ago reilecting on
a Methodist minister of this
state, appeared immediately un
der a personal notice of Senator
N. K. Grigcs, giving the appear
ance that. Mr. Griggs had told the
editor of the above paper the
tory about our reverend gentle
man. Mr. o. desires us io sa
that, he was not in the Watchman
office that day, nor did he mention
one word about this supposed
scandal to any person m Piatts
mouth during his stay here.
We receive. 1 a pleasant call
from Mr. Merciless of Iowa. He
is teaching in the Hull district
and is one of the best ieaehers in
Cass county. May. he live to
"teach the young idea how to
shoot."
Mr. and Mrs. JU-ardsIey desire
to return their heartfelt- thanks
to the many neighbors and
friends who offered their servic
es, and aided and helped by their
kindness, to make affliction light
er and the hours of sickness eas
ier. The gate receipts at the Cass
county fair, 1873, were . 552.50.
Receipts from the 10 per cent, on
contested premiums, s7i.35.
Booth and wagon rent, io.00.
From County Treasury, $2 40.30.
Due on advertisements. $103.00.
Expenses, including - 150.00 as
rent of fair ground, were $G03.M.
Amount of premiums awarded,
$310.10." We hope the directors
will be at. the next regular meet
ing, to be held on the first Sat
urday in October, at the Court
House at two o'clock, p. in. The
Society is owing- some old debt?
which should be settled at once.
Arrangements should be made
for the rent, of ground the com
ing year. The directors are the
proper persons to transact all this
business, and the members will
be much better satisfied than to
have it performed by those not
legally authorized.
Our friends who feel discour
aged must cheer up along the line
of lonjr delaved and much desir
ed Trunk road. Prof. Rich had
the pleasure of meeting Dr. Con
verse rinrincr a recent trip from
Lincoln, and the Doctor was on
his way to meet a gentleman in
Nebraska City, to confer definite
ly touching the action of our
neighbors on the Trunk. Dr.
Converse has no further offers to
present, or rather no modifica
tion of past propositions to make.
The Trunk will be built whether
Nebraska City subscribes a cent
or not; so Dr. Converse informed
Prof. Rich. In the event of her
non-subscrition, however, it is
probable the Trunk road will not
r.as through Nebraska City. Dr.
Converse also informed Prof. Rich
that a survey of the route back of
Nebraska City, under any circum
stances, will at once be made.
The Trunk road should run, if
practicable. through Nebraska
City, but it will certainly be built,
either through or by that city.
Little and big, fat and lean, ye
old folks and ye young folks, all
went up to Omaha to see Joe Jef
ferson, in Rip Van Winkle, his
great character. All were pleas
ed. It is a wonderful perform
ance, and we scarcely know
which to admire most, the fine
taste, pure mind and great abil
ities of the genial, kindly author,
Washington Irving, who conceiv
ed the curious, shiftless, easy Rip;
or Hie scarcely less wonderful
bent of mind and perhaps great
er artistic skill which can take
up and absorb into itself a char
acter drawn by another hand,
and really live that person before
our eyes on the stage, as Joe Jef
ferson has this character of Irv
ing's. In fact, it is hard to fell,
now. whether Jefferson made this
Rip Van Winkle, or Rip made Jef
ferson. Again, the friendly, so
cial intercourse of our people, on
such little jaunts, and excursion?,
is a source of great pleasure and
profit, making- us better acquaint
ed with each other, and helping
to grease the wheels of the so
cial machinery of life, and place
us all on a better, higher, and we
hope purer level.
