have than delivered every Saturday morning.
Yes. it is nearly 50 years since I have
seen you. Your hair under that little lace
cap is nswhito assnow. Then it was black
and glossy as jot. You had no wrinkles
than. Your cheeks were smooth and
white. There wasa dimple in tho left one.
Your eyes did not poor out of gold rimmed
glasses then. They were bright as stars—-
dark blue, sparkling with merriment.
Your figure is a little boat, but you were
quite tall then for a woman, and graceful.
I thought you were quoenly. Indeed you
were the prettiest girl in all the land.
What, are you blushing? Well, it is true.
I can close my eyes and see you in my soul
as you were then, as sweet and lovely as a
water lily. You have never changed there.
I remember thy first time I ever saw you.
I was walking through tho shady streets of
the little town. I passed by a grand old
mansion. I saw bcnca in great elm what
I thought was a bcaui 1 angel. It was
you lying on the lawn. You had on a
pink gown. You were reading, and when
you heard my footsteps you raised your
eyes and met mine. We were both con-
fused. I walked away feeling as though I
had entered a new world. After that I
thought only of you. You told me after-
ward that you were reading a romance of
a handsome young prince, tall, fair haired
and during; that when you looked up and
saw me you were startled, I was so like
the ideal you were dreaming of. Do you
remember?
I hurried back to my uncle's homo be-
yond the town and eagerly questioned my
cousins concerning the beautiful vision I
had soon. They told me that you were the
governor's only daughter; that you were
but 18 years of age, but that you already
had several suitors for your hand. They
warned mo not to fall in love with you, as
a handsome young nfllccr of the garrison
near by was said to have Won your heart.
I found that you were the hello of all the
land.
This information only made mo love you
more. I felt certain that I could not live
without you. I could not imagine that
any one else could love you as I did. Ev-
cry afternoon after that I rode. to town in
order to pass by tho governor’s mansion.
During tho cvcnings I paraded buck and
forth on the sidcwaik like a. sentinel, and
all the time I kept repeating your name.
During those feverish evenings it was not
very consoling to note the regular nppcar-
once of a visitor nightly passing under tho
truce to tho doorstep. thn the door
opcncd, I could soc his tail, crcct figure
standing in the light. ’l‘hcn tho door
would close, and thorn would he sounds

with great elaboration, and an hour before
the time when I had ugh-ml to call I was
rostlossly pacing the streets, glancing at
my aiWntly motionless timepiece. but
the important hour arrived at last. As I
entered the gate my courage began to fail.

. looting perfectly beautiful in the
lighted hallway! Your oheekswere slight-
ly flushud, and your eyes were as bright as
stars. That evening my love for you in-
creased a hundredfold. ,l
Do you remember the boat ride on the
river? It was the only time We were
really alone. Maybe you don’t imagine
how near I came to proposing to you that
day? Do you say that you half expected
several times I would? Well, you were
right. The truth is that I had decided at
the first opportunity to tell you that I
loved you. I thought that the boat ride
would he the very occasion; so. with min-
glcd hopes and fears, I mores forward to
that eventful day. I cannot tell you how
many times I rehearsed my part in the ex-
pected drama, nor what beautiful speeches
had prepmd, never to be uttered. Yet I
regard that little journey up the winding
river as the brightest @lsodo in my life.
As I rowed along I could look at you. You

I liked so much. We passed by weeping
willows dipping their branches into the
water, the cemetery in the woods on the
hill and the mysterious island with its
deep woods. Wo did not talk ranch. Your
eyes were cast down most of the time, as
though you were in a pensive mood, but
occasionally I saw them glance shyly at
me. I don’t know why I should have been
so sure, but I felt positive that you loved
me, and I was on the point of telling you
how I adored you a dozen times as WU pro-
ceeded up the still river. At last I rowed
into a little stroamlot which met the river
in the woods. Green leaves were spread
over its quiet surface, and pure white lilics
floated hero and there. The light was soft
and subdued. I felt my heart beat violcnt-
ly. I trembled, and I know that my face
was pnlcas I leaned toward you and seized
your little hand in mine.
Just thou we heard voices in the wwsls.
You snatched your hand away instantly
us two ladies, one of whom was your aunt,
appeared at the bank of the stream. They
were delighted to see us, for they had lost
their boat and would have been obliged to
walk several miles but for our timely ap-
pearance. We humbly took them in as
passengers, and I rowed back down the
river in the twilight, talking to your aunt
and her fricnd in as cntcrinining a man-
ncras I could, while you rcclincd in the
stern, silcntdmt occasionally shilling shyly
at some of my cfl'orts to sustain a collvcr-
sation with the two ladies. We all wulkcd
up the hill to your father's gate, and lwas
obliged to say goodby without telling you
my womlcrfnl sccrct. 1
Soon nficr that a grand lmll was to iako
placo at the tun-r11. All ihc country was
cxcilcd. I scnt you an invitation and our

of one of the courts of New York
city that he had "held chambers in a
cab. " Judge Drummond of the
United Buttes cl it court was start-
ing from Milwa kee to go to Chi-
cago when counsel desired to bring
on a motion for a receiver in a rail-
road case. Accordingly the judge
opened a special term in a parlor car
and heard arguments while on route.
But a still more remarkable hear-
ing once took place in Sierra county,
Cal, when Judge Searls of the dis—
trict court was on his way from N e-
vada to Plumes county.
At Downioville two lawyers had
agreed to argue a motion when the
judge arrived, but us time was press»
ing and both counsel were also go-
ing to Plumes it was decided to ride
along on muieback and hear argu-
ment on the way.
Up the mule trail from Downieville
to Monte Cristo, down to Oak ranch
and so on to Eureka the argument
went on. At Eureka the case was ex~
amined and summed up, and in due
time a. decision was reached.
The loser consoled himself by say-
ing that he had at least ascended the
mountain without being conscious of
the grade.
When the j udgo suggested that the
mule might have felt as usual, the
counsel naively replied:
“Sir, I am inclined to think from
the result that he, too, was absorbed
in helping to make up the opinion.”
