COLUMBUS, NEB., WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 4,
Unlocked at Last.
I take tt flown this evening, in the golden twi
light's kIow,
As the gables cast their shadows on the garden
beds below.
And, with something of a sadness thnt-.te less
tliHii gnef, I ralso
The cover of the ouken box I- closed In other
days. ..
So long ago I locked it that the key turns stiff
ly now.
And the withered hand that trembles, and the
furrows on tho brow.
And the failing vision clouded, and the snows
upon my head.
Tell, with unrelenting certainty, of Time's re
morseless tread.
So long ago I locked them upl Ah, me, but
hero they lie
While, all unknown, a lingering hopo within
me surely lay, . , . .
Elso why should I but hide the things 1 might
,buve cast away?
Some heated words were said. No more; but
wonts iu wrath that fall
May banish what our blinding tears and break
ing hearts recall
As visions only of the past; tho briiigcloss
gull between
But shows us. to augment our grief, the Joys
"that might bnvo been."
no died upon a foreign shore; and I ah. well,
my years
Have not been wholly wasted, neither passed
in useless tears.
My light went early out, but still its warmth ia
with mo here
It seems to be rekindling as tho end Is drawing
ti ear!
And now, ns In the box I look, again my eyes
grow dim;
I find a lock ot chestnut hair that once belong
ed to him.
A glove ho dropped it as he left a littlo gold
en pin,
A locket with a boyish face his own portray
ed within.
The ring he placed upon my hand when, stand
ing by mv side.
He simply told tho olden talc, and, faltering,
I replied.
No picture hero at nil of mine, no kept it,
and I know
Ho shared my secret trust that clouds like
these would fade and go.
A pile of letters! One, his last forlorn farewell
still mocks
My heart. I turn tho key, to look no more up
on tho box!
But surely I shull be forgiven if, in tho land
of rest.
Among the treasures stored for mc I hold my
love the best.
WOMAN'S WEAPONS.
"How do voii like my aunt's new
guest, Bruce?"
'Saw nothing wonderful in her. She's
not bad to look at, I believe. Has a
reputation as a flirt, if Itdon't mistake.
Tni never taken by such girls, Cecil"
Cecil Harrison laughed a little in his
indolent, easy waj and his laugh was
very good to hear.
"You're never 'token' by any sort of
girl," he said cheerfully; "but tltcrc's
no uso in saying a man is happier with
out being "in love, for he's not I tell
you, a good houest attack of love will
make a man of any fellow. I'd like to
see you hard hit, old fellow."
"You may livo to see it; but if vou do,
the object of my affection will not bo a
society belle, a flirt, or the fashion, as
Miss Aubrey told me our new arrival
is.'
"Flirt or no flirt, she's certainly the
stylo of girl that is sure to play havoc
with some poor fellow's heart'
Bruce Carleton made a wry face.
"And no doubt she is at this moment
doniug her war-paint, with the laudable
intention of making a tablet of yours or
mine," he remarked carelessly. "I
wonder if prudence would be the better
part of valor in this instance? Would
you join me in a trip of a few weeks?"
"I would tell my aunt why you went,
and give Miss Vernon a new triumph,"
was the lazy answer, given with a smile.
"All right Hero 1 stay, and face fate
as bravely as I can. I am prepared to
be dazzled by splendor surpassing that
of Cleopatra, when our belle andiKjauty
comes down. By the way. can it be
long before dinner? I'm fairly famish
ing, after that long tramp, by which I
lost luncheon."
"Half an hour or so," Cecil an
swered. "Have a cigar? They're cap
ital. Why, what was that?"
"The door of the library swung to.
Are you growing nervous?"
"No, but I'm growing uncomfortable.
Some person was in there, and may
have heard all we said. It was un
manly of us to criticise an absent lady,
and one who is young and lovely."
"Oh, she'll get old and ugly soon
enough, if that makes the matter any
better," answered Bruce carelessly.
But as he left his scat and went in
through tho window, there was an un
usual color on his face, for he had
caught the sound of light footfalls, as
well as the closing of the door, and was
sure some cars had caught his unkind
and uncourtly remarks, despito his
seeming indifference.
And he was right. A girl had stepped
lightly over the threshold of the library
in the very beginning of the conversa
tion. "
She went hurriedly across the room,
placed a book among its fellows, and
was reading the titles of the others near
it, when the first remark I have chron
icled reached her.
"Ah, they do think of us when wo'rc
not by!" sho whispered, dimpling smiles
on her face. "1 have always thought
that men could gossip, and here I am
listening to two of them gossiping about
one of us. No, I'm not listcuing; I'm
looking for a book."
But sho did not make a selection
from the volumes until after Bruce had
expressed himself as being prepared to
be dazzled by the splendor of Miss Ver
non's attire when she appeared at din
ner. Then, with a saucy light in her
grey eyes, the girl took down her book,
crossed the room, and allowing the
door to close behind her noisily, ran
swiftly up the stairs, not pausing until
she stood beforo a door, 'at which she
tapped lightly.
"May iconic in Bella?" she called.
And immediately the bolt was drawn,
and a slender girl stood in tho door
way, clothed like a young queen, in a
rich robe of amber silk, which fell far
behind her on the floor.
"Oh, shut the door, and let mc tell
you something!" cried the grey-eyed
girl, eagerly. "And, oh, Bella, do take
off that lovely dress, and put on some
thing plain and prim! He said you
were putting on your war-paint, and
would .try to dazzle like a Cleopatra.
But I must tell you!"
"Yes, I think you must, unless you
wish to confuse me hopelessly," said
Miss Vernon, with a smile in her dark
eves, as she drew her visitor in and
shut the door. "Now who said all this
about mc?"
In five minutes Kate Aubrey had told
all about the conversation which she
had heard; and her listener's delicately
cut face had colored with haughty
anger for a moment; then mingling
with the anger a touch of amusement
ahone in her dark eves.
"Help me, Kate," she said laughing
ly. . "I am my own maid to-day. Wo
will disappoint that critical and chari
table gentleman, who expects such
splendor. I wonder whether or not I
will ever forgive him tor his remarks?
He is most unkind!"
Within half an hour the two girls
stood before Miss Bella's mirror,
langhing at tke . slight maiden it re
flected, dad in simple white cashmero,
with no ornament about her.
"You look like a lily!" cried Kate;
"or like a Puritan maiden on her wed-Aing-dav!'
If vou had a few flowers vou
would o; but you are looking your
very best, Bella dear; plain attiro be
comes you."
" i'li'get a flowcr'or two downstairs;
tho vases aro full oi fresh ones," Miss
Vernon said, smiling at herself in tho
mirror, then turning from it
Kate went to lier room for a forgot
ten trifle, and Isabel Vernon went down
to tho drawing-room alone. Nobody
had come down, save Bruce Carleton,
who turned fronr'a window as sho en
tered. She did not scorn to see him, hut went
straight to tho mantle, on which masses
of bloom were gathered in vases, and
began selecting a few flowers.
lie followed Tier immediately.
"The vases are high for you,'' ho said.
"May I lift one down, or get you the
flowers you want?"
She looked at him calmly, arrang
ing tho blossoms in her lingers without
heed. Her dark eyes met his own so
clearly, so indiflercntly, that somehow
he was piqued:
"Thank you; I have all I want," she
said quietly. "You are very vklnd,- Mr.
Carletohf 'b'nt-let me assure you that -a
woman never prizes any act of gallant
ry so highly a she does a charitable
word or thought given her in absence."
A hot color burned- in his face. Had
she heard herself reviled by him?
But before he had found words to an
swer, she had fastened the blossoms at
her throat and gone forward to meet
Kate, who was entering.
He watched her, and as he watched,
a desire to stand well in her c'es grew.
Surely rumor had belied her. when it
said sho was cold and cared only for
conquest What an idiot he had been
to say what he had of her scarcely an
hour before! Now she would never bo
his friend; and surely there were depths
in those dark eyes of hers, curves in her
red lips, power in her white brow.
He had seen no beauty in her the
night before, but suddenly, with tho
knowledge that she must despise him,
came the conviction that this girl, in
her simple robe of white, with only a
few roses by way of ornament, was
vcrv, very beautiful.
lie could not help watching her dur
ing the whole evening, and as ho
watched he felt more and more con
vinced that the rumor had wronged
her that she was no coquette, seeking
approval, but a true woman, winning
homage unconsciously.
Kate Aubrey, who seemed to bo on
von' confidential terms with Cecil,
whispered to him, as they were partiug
for tho night:
"Mr. Carleton may call Bella a flirt,
or anything he may like, but as true as
fate he is falling in love with her."
"I hope so," Cecil laughed, easily.
"He was too sure he was invulnerable."
On the morrow the pleasant party
would break up, anil each one go a
diucrent way.
Autumn w'as reddening the world;
yet, under the moonbeams, it looked
like a world of shadows to Bella Ver
non, as she stood at her window, look
ing abroad.
A long letter, which she had read
again and again, was in her hands; a
smile of exquisite sweetness was on her
lips; her dark eyes wore dim, but very
soft aud tender, through the tears that
made the outside world suddenly a con
fused darkness to her.
Then, after a low little knock, Kate
Aubrey put her head in at the door.
"May 1 come in?"
"Come, Kate; I have something to
tell you."
The girl came and stood beside her
friend.
"I think I know what it is," she said
softlv. "Do you care for hiin, Bella? I
told Cecil 1 didn't think you did."
"And what did Mr. Harrison say?"
"That there wasn't a liner fellow in
the world, and ho didn't sec how you
could help loving Bruce Carleton. But
I knuw you had not forgiven him for
calling you a flirt, and saying he wasn't
taken with such girls. I'm sure ho
would givo his right hand to have that
speech unsaid now, and I do pity the
poor fellow. Cecil says he hasn't even
a hope."
"lie wrote me, owning his . unchari
table remarks, and pleading for forgive
ness," said Isabel softly. "He does not
seem to greatly hope, for after telling
mc of his love, he bids mc pardon that
too, and says that after to-morrow we
may never meet"
'Poor fellow! You will say a few
kind words to him, will vou not, Bella?
It is so sad to love one wlio doesu't re
turn it! If Cecil didn't care for me,
how miserable I should bo!
"But you wear Cecil's
rinr, dear.
You are very happy instead."
"Yes, 1 am very happy. But poor Mr.
Carleton I pity him so!"
Miss Vernon smiled.
"Because I am going down to tell
him that he is forgiven, and his love is
dear to me? Little Kate, I am as hap
py as yourself!"
"You do not mean " . (.
"I mean that, in trying to punish
Bruce for his unkind sayings concern
ing mc, I lost my heart to him. Yes,
Kate. Is it foolish? I do not think so,
for I know he will never say a rude
thing of my sex again Now I must go
down and give ,niy answer to his letter.
Congratulate me, for I am ver-" happy.
Fate conquers us all, little friend!"
In explaining his attitude toward the
doctrine of tho Trinity, the Rov. VL
Hcber Newton says in the Christian
Register: "Thero are some of our mod
ern dogmas that it is simply inconceiv
able to mc that Jesus could have held,
or could hold to-da3 were He upon
earth. Thero are 'Others which I may
think it questionable whether He would
hold were He back among us, but which
present to my mind no moral inconceiv
ability. The question of tho Trinity is
one of these. In the form in which it
is held by tho conventional Christian I
am quite sure Jesus would not accent
it In the form in which it is held in
philosophic minds to-day I do not see
why He might not accept it Each of
us is obliged to look at such a question
from his own standpoint From my
standpoint it seems to mc entirely possi
ble that He should hold such a thought
of the Divine Being. If I did not think
so I should not be wbcro I am."
One of tho forest curiosities of the
Isthmus of Darien and lower Central
America is the tree killer (matapalo).
This starts in life as a climber upon the

A story about the capture or any ex
ploit of an eagle will go the entire
rounds of the press at any season. Why?
The eagle is not a very remarkable bird
in any way not even remarkably
scarce. But ho wormed himself into
the confidence of the founders of the
Republic; and apparently their descend
ants have a superstitious regard for him
as something that has come down to us
from a former generation. Buffalo Ex
press. According to the London Lancet the
reason people who have had a foot am
putated still imagine that it pains them
is simply owing to "irritation of the sen
sory fibres of a divided nerve being re
ferred to the terminal distribution of
those fibres." It is a wonder that the
rest of us never thought of that. It
seems so reasonable. We learn a great
deal by merely finding out things wo
didn't know before. Norristown Her

I chanced to rldo in Back Bay car
yesterday besido two ladies who were
from Chicago, as their very audible con
versation informed everybody. They
discussed Boston very frankly, and, it
must be confessed, pretty fairly. As .wo
crossed Commonwealth avenue one
commented that she thought it "a very
creditable street," which, mar have
meant that she believed much of its
glory to bo founded on credit. "But;
after all;" the other added to her assent
to the praiso of tho avenue, "after all.
tho most rcmarkablo thing about Boston
is the way the weather crawls down
your back-bone." "It is shivery," her
companion returned, "but it sort of sets
you up, after alL" Her observation
shows the astonishing shrewdness of the
Western feminine mind. The Adams
family fairly typify the Boston climate;

A Contractor's Ghost Story.
"I never go much on ghost stories, "
begun Contractor Van Dyke at the
Clinton Uouso the other evening. The
old gentleman had been listening with
more or less attention to a series of
fables being told by the guests of the
hoteL
"You don't believe in spooks, then?"
suggested one of the gathering.
"Well. I don't know," the old con
tractor replied. "My experience in that
direction has been somewhat remark
able. 1 don't suppose you will believe
me. but the story I will tell you Is true.
I can produce a living witness to it, and
1 will at any timo make affidavit to its
accuracy. Two years ago I was build
ing a piece of railroad down in the
eastern part of this state Among the
peoplo who furnished mc with tics waa
an old trader in whom I had little or
no confidence. As the bills for the ties
came in I paid them promptly and took
receipts from every man. I knew to tho
tic tho number "used. After my con
tract was completed the old trader sued
me for the price of fifty ties. Tho case
was tried and I was compelled to pay
tho money. The old man had sworn tp
Ills bill, and little or no defenso could
be made. When I paid the money I
warned tho old fellow. I told him ho
had perjured himself. I predicted for
him an unhappy ending. About six
months ago I was awakened at I
o'clock in the morning by this same old
trader. It was dark iu my room. Just
as plainly as I see you now he was thero
in life. He wakened mo by calling mo
by name. My partner was in bed in
the samo room just a few feet from me.
1 called him and told him of tho visit
or's presence. He said ho could not
6ec him, and laughed at me. He told
me I was dreaming, and suggested that
I go to sleep. While we were talking
the old trader called mc by name. Ho
said he had been mistaken about tho
ties, and offered to return mo the money.
The vision then vanished. My partner
talked with me of the matter before wo
went to sleep again. The next morning
he tohl the story on me as a joke, but
while we were at breakfast the news
reached us of tho old trader's death
He had died within ten minutes of tho
timo of his visit to mc. I have no idea
how many more calls of the samo
character he had to make, but I am
satisfied his visit to me was the last
one. That story is true as holy writ,"
the old man concluded. A distressing
silence followed its telling and the party
broke up before all recovered. Union
town News.
Early Uso of Artillery.
When Romulus was marking out the
limits of his new city, gunpowder was
already known, and 2,000 yean before
the birth of Schawrtz, pieces of ord
nance had been enst in China. Tho
Moors used guns in Spain, in the begin
ning of 1200, if not 1100. The claims
of the Chinese having now been gen
erally admitted, it is supposed that ord
nance reached Euroe through tho
Moors of Spain or the Venetians. Nei
ther, however, had any connection with
China. It is unaccountable that it
should not have been perceived by the
Turks, who conquered the northern por
tion of China in the early part of tho
thirteenth century, and were established
all around tho Black sea with the ex
ception of a strip between Vcrua and
the Bosphorus.
It is now doubted whether, indeed,
tho Black Prince did uso guns at the
battle of Cressy; but there is no doubt
that Murad L had before then employ
ed them at the battle of Cossova. On
both bides they were used, the Turks
having already instructed the popula
tion with whom they were at war. Em
ploying artillery in the field, it was easy
(reversing the process in Euroio) to ap
ply it in fortresses; the peculiar nature
of the Straits of the Bosphorus and the
Dardanelles invited its use. To tho
batteries placed above Constantinople
is attributed the fall of that city, the
supplies from the Black sea being cut
