ES, I was determined Hannah
Matilda should have the best
cake to be had!” said Mrs. Benson, as
- .she opened the oven door and looked ,in
at the beans. “Guess I may ,as. well
take ’em out,” she continued; “some
folks likes their beans baked'to a crisp,
we like ’em brown but not over-done.”
“I’m sure your beans aregalways most
delicious, Mis’ Benson,” answered he!
yisitor. “I like ’em myself, but down
’to our house I ’most have to burn ’em
to suit! I s’pose your Hannah can turn
her hand to most anything in plain
cooking?” ’
“Yes, indeed! there ain’t nothing in
,. that line Hannah don’t understand,
_’;pla.inor fancy;.but a weddin' cake, why,
'that’s kind 0’ differe.nt,,you see, and me
and Benson made up, our minds that
our only child should have the very
best. It’s going to be .from a first-rate
city confectioner’s, and I don’t feel any
doubt but it’ll more than suit.”
Mrs. Prentice set her thin lips to-
gether and made no answer for a min-
or two; then she said: .
> “Well, it ain’t the first time it’s been
tried in these, parts, a-makin’ the wed-
ding cake out o’ the house! Some folks
think itbad luck, and, though I’m .no
believer in such things myself, I shan’t
try it for Sarah.”
- “Why, do tell!” exclaimed Mrs. Ben-
son. V'“.I didn’t knew Sarah was keepin’
company with anyone. Hannah,” to
.her daughter, who had just entered,
"‘did you hear what Mis’ Prentice said?
Now, Mis’ Prentice, do tell us all about
"it!”
"I don’t know as I said Sarah was
a-keepin’ company with anyone. I
said “AI-should make her wedding cake
myself.” ,
“Well, but is she keeping company?
And who’s the fellow?” demanded Han-
nah, placing herself directly in front of
:Mrs. Prentice, with her arms akimbo.
The poor woman, who, stung by jeal-
ousy, had implied more thanshe meant,
was silent. There was now no way out
" of her difficulty but to say that Sarah
was not having any attention, and she
would rather die than say that before
that saucy Hannah Matilda—Hannah.
who had enticed Jerry Rogers away
from Sarah, and who gloried in V th.
deed. .
E‘Well?” said Hannah, impatiently.
‘The thought of the Benson riches
was uppermost in Mrs. Prentice’s mind,
and again she spoke unadvisedly. “I
guess whatever young man is showing
' my daughter attention, she didn’t have
to use money to entice him away from a
another girl!”
Hannah, who well knew that she
could not compare with Sarah in looks,
flushed crimson. “I understand!” she
exclaimed; “you’re just pretending, so
that I won’t think Sarah is dyin’ ofa -
'broken heart!”
Mrs. Benson, whose attention since
Hannah’s entrance had been absorbed
by the beans, started and upset half of
them. “Hannah Matilda!” she cried,
“what- can you be thinkin’ of, to use
such words to Mis’ Prentice in this
house?” ‘ -
“Well, ma, why can’t she answer, in-
stead o’ beatin’ about the bush so?‘
Now,” to Mrs.» Prentice, “is Sarah en—
gaged or not?” ,
“Yes!” and for the first time in her
life Mrs. Prentice had told a lie.
Hannah, anxious to show that she
was not jealous of her former rival,
brought out various articles from her
trousseau and displayed them proudly
to Mrs. Prentice, advising her how to
have this and that made for Sarah.
Every word out the poor woman to the
heart, and the lie loomed up more
black and fearful before her. Dimly
she noticed the dainty embroideries
and laces, and the marking (she re-
membered that marking afterward)—
‘Hannah Matilda Rogers, not Benson. ‘
By the time Mrs. l’rentice reached
home she felt a little better. One can
become accustomed to almost anything
——even to telling lies.
“There ain’t any way out of it now,"
she ku-t saying to herself. “I’ve just
got to bear it. Perhaps Sarah will get
engaged to some one before the year is
out, and then they’ll never suspect.”
As the days passdd by Mrs. Prentice
was struck by Sarah’s cheerful man-
ner. She went frequently to the woods
for mayflowers, and came back with
rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes.
“She certainly doesn’t care any more
abd’ut Jerry Rogers,” thought her
mother. “There may be some one else
she’s a-thinking of, but I don’t see how
she can be so cheerful when Hannah’s
marriage is so near. I just feel in my
bones that it’ll all come right.”
The Wedding day came at last, and,
like one in a dream, Mrs, Prentice found
herself seated in the Bensons parlor,
near the window, waiting for the minis-
ter. She,had been among the 0first to
arrive, for she knew that Jerry’s deser-
tion of Sarah would be the principal
theme of conversation if her back Were
turned. Sarah, of course, was not pres-
ent; but she had begged her mother to
go, and Mrs. Prentice was sure that she
had seen tears in her eyes when she
bade her good-by. ~ .
“I’m so afraid she does care, after-
all,” she said to herself. “I’m just glad
.I did tell Hannah Matilda that'lie! ”
The past week had hardened Mrs.
Prentice, and she looked her neighbors
boldly in the face and talked volubly
‘ about Hannah's trouseeau. The thin-
ister arrived promptly at two o’clock,
but still the guests at waiting. '
‘ “I guess it’s a-goln’ to be something
out o’ the ordinary,” said one woman at
jut. "Do you know, I jest went into
he other room to lmk at the clock, and
t’s goin’ on to three.” ' . ‘
“We all know it’s late enough,” an
swered another woman, who sat near;
Mrs. Prentice in the bay window, “but:
I guise you 511% given the right no-
W,
hen. I’ve) beena-sittin’ by this “win-
dow stead ever since I came in, and
Jerry Rogers ain’t arrived yet! No one
can make me believe he has.”
The guests all startled and looked at‘
each other in amazement, then sought
. conference with her nearest neighbor.
“I ‘shouldn’t say it to others, Mis’
Prentice,” whispered the one who had
spoken last, leaning over and laying
a black-mittened' hand on Mrs. Pren-
tice‘s arm, “but I don’t feel no confi-«
dence that he intends to turn up. I
always thought Hannah caught him
against his will, and he ain’t the, kind
that can say no to a body’s face.” ‘
Mrs. Prentice turned a white, scared
countenance upon her. “You don’t
think, you don’t mean--” she said, be-
low her breath; but she never finished
the sentence, .for the door burst open
and Hannah Matilda stood, in all the
splendor of bridal array, before them.
Her veil was thrown back, showing her
large, plain features, white as marble,
“and her hands, in their tight white
gloves, clutched nervously at the folds
of .her rich satin skirt—almost as if
seeking support under some new hor-
ror. - ' ‘
Her eyes scanned the frightened faces
before her, one by one, until they fell
on the group in the bay window; then
singling out Mrs. Prentice, she
screamed:
'.“09 you wicked, deceitful woman! 1
wanted to llnovxwhethel‘ you had dared
to come here, b fore I askedmy guests
to come out and try my wedding cake.
Here!” extending one hand with a
crumpled paper towards her, “yes,
you’d bet-ter take and read it, though
. you already know it well enough. And
I just blame you morefan I do Sarah—
yes, I do!” -
Her voice rose to a scream, and the
minister forced his way through the
crowd of women, some of whom were
sobbing with fright, and laid his hand
upon her arm. _ ”
“Miss Hannah,” he said, kindly but
firmly, “you forget yourself in speak—
ing so to this good woman.”
Hannah Matilda turned toward him
like a child with no idea of conceal-
ment.
“See!” she said, her lip beginning to
tremble, “this note’s just been left at
the back door. It’s from Jerry'Rogers,
and he and Sarah Prentice left on the
2: 30 train for Boston, ’cau'se he couldn’t
speak" out plain to a body’s face. And
that woman knew and planned it all,
that’s what I mind.” _
All eyes were turned toward her, and
Mrs. Prentice was quite forgotten. She
now tottered forward, stretching out
her trembling hands.
“It’s that lie I told! , It’s that lie! 0,
if I had never told it she wouldn’t think
I had known! 0,” she went on, catch-

ing her breath, "I told you Hannah Ma-
tilda, as Sarah was a-keepin’ company
’cause I was so jealous. And 0, what
I’ve suffered this week! I wouldn’t live
through it again f ~‘any money.”
Hannah turned r eyes upon Mrs.
Prentice, and her expression seemed to
soften a little, but she made no reply.
For a few seconds there was a. breath-
less silence, then Hannah turned to-
ward the others.
“I want you all to come out and have
a slice of-my wedding cake,” she said,
adding with some spirit,
a first-rate city confectioner’s, and it’ll
taste just as good-as if there were a
dozen weddings.”
Mrs. Prentice allowed herself to be
led out and helped in without 'a word,
and the minister had unfastened his
horse and was just climbin in when he
was startled by a cry: “Wait! wait!”
He' turned quickly and saw Hannah
Matilda running down to the gate, her
ample train, over her arm. “Here!” she
gasped, “Here Mis’ Prentice!” and she
thrust a parcel, wrapped in a napkin,
into her lap. “It’s some of the wedding
cake,” she added, softly, “and there’s a
piece in there for Sarah.”
She turned and hurried back as ab-
ruptly as she had come, and the minis-
ter saw her tall, white figure disappear-
ing in at the door as he drove away.—

lREllENDOUS 'ENTHUSIASM SHOWN.

Volunteers — Pittsburgh
Greatest Day.
PIT'I‘SBURG, Aug. 29.—The president
. reviewed the Tenth Pennsylvania volun-
teers, just returned from the Philippines,
yesterday. The occasion was one of tu-
multuous enthusiasm. The only thing
lacking to make the day one of supreme
happiness was the absence of the brave
andfiwell beloved Colonel Hawkins, who
led the boys in all of their battles and
shared in all of their sufierings, but who
was denied the privilege of marching at
their head when they returned home to.
receive the plaudits of a grateful people.
Although the people from the surround-
ing counties began literally “pouring”
into the city soon after the dawn of the
day, the police had made such prepara-
tions that this influx did not create any
throng so as to interfere with the line of
march. From the point of starting in
Allegheny over 2,000 ofiicers, enrolled for
the occasion from the different municipal
departments of the two cities, were locat-
ed along" the line at' certain intervals,
and in this nianner the immense con-
course of onlookers was kept well under
cuntrol. . ,
The reception to the Philippine heroes
began at New Brighton, Pa., when a
committee of preminent Pennsylvanians
welcomed them as soon as they had
crofssed the borders of the state.
After brief exercises and a hearty
breakfast tendered by the citizens of
New Brighton the regiment was rushed
into Alleghany. The train came in three
sections, and immediately after the sol-
diers had disembarked the line of march
to Schenley park, where the exercises
were to be held, was taken up. The
parade moved in the following order:
Mounted police.
Chief marshal. General Charles Mill-
er and staff of Pennsylvania national
guard ofiicers.
Carriages containing President McKin-
ley, General Wesley Merritt, General
Francis V. Greene, Colonel Secretary
Treadwell, representative of Governor
Roosevelt; Governor William A. Stone of
Pennsylvania and visiting senators,pcon-
gressmen and other distinguished guests.
Delegations from various posts of the
Grand Army of the Republic.
Provisional brigade of the national
guard of Pennsylvania, composed of the
First, hourteenth and Eighteenth regi-
ments and Battery B, under command of
General John A. Wiley.
Tenth regiment, Pennsylvania volun-
teers, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel
James E. Barnett.
Service men of the Spanish war, com-
manded by Colonel S. W. Hay.
Reception committee in carriages.
Upon reaching Schenley park the col-
umn was reviewed by President McKin-
ley, after which he proceeded to the mu-
sic pavilion, where .the exercises were
held. Seatshad been provided for 25,000
f1 iends and relatives of the members of
the Tenth in front of the music pavilion,
but these were filled before the exercises
began, and thousands were unable to se-
distance.
, - | Governor William A. Stone was intro-
duced as chairmhn of the committee and
delivered an address of welcome in be-
half of the state.
l At the conclusion ’of Governor Stone’s
:address President McKinley was intro-
duced and, after the applause had ceased,
spoke in part as follows:
“Governor Stone and My Fellow Citi-
zens—I am glad to participate with the
families, friends and fellow citizens of
the Tenth Pennsylvania volunteers in
this glad reunion.
I “You have earned the plaudits not
alone of the people of Pennsylvania, but
'of the whole nation. Your return has

tion of popular regard from your landing

“But, while we share in the joy that is
yours, there remain with us softened and
lhallowed memories of those who went
' forth with you not found in your ranks
today. Your noble colonel, devoted to
his men, beloved by his command and re-
spected by his superiorofiicers, gave his
life to his country, with many others of

Congressman John Dalzell followed in
an eloquent address, and on behalf’of the
citizens of western Pennsylvania pre—
sented each of the commissioned officers
a sword, the chaplain a loving cup and
every man in the regiment a beautiful
medal. The presents were received by
Colonel Barnett on behalf of the officers
and men.
General Wesley Merritt was then in-
troduced and made an address on behalf
of the army.
After the soldiers had eaten a late din-
ner at the race track the several com-
panies were taken in hand by committees
"from their several home towns and es
corted to special trains to carry them
home. Some of the boys decided to re-
main in the city overnight, the result
being that the streets were filled with
soldiers and those who helped them to
enjoy themselves. Thus ended one of
the biggest days Pittsburg has ever seen.
Mucl'engh Says Carter Is Innocent.
of General \K'ayne MacVeagh’s argu-
ment in Captain Oberlin M. Carter’s be-
half before the court martial has been
made public. Captain Carter’s trial and
conviction by the court of embezzling
large sums of money from the United
States government are known through-
out the country. The brief treats the
case exhaustively and asserts the abso-
lute innocence of Captain Carter. It de-
nounces as “a sheer and absolute false~
hood” the assertion that Captain Car—
ter’s friends and attorneys have repeat-
edly pleaded with the president for him.
It denies with equal emphasis that these
friends and counsel have tried "to delay
or smother investigation into his case.”
It is declared that Ca tain Carter has
constantly urged the‘ no] apd immedi-
ate disposition of his case.-
