What They Say in South
Norwalk will Bear Repeat-
» ing "1” Norwalk. -

Readers of the South Nor-walk papers
have been familiar with it for over two
years. At first it created considerable
excitement and the residents were
anxious and curious to know whose
statement would be the next published.
Week after week went by and the good
people of South N orwalk ceased to
wonder, and settled down to the fact
that what so many of their neighbors
said must be true. What was success-
ful in South Norwalk, is successful 1n
Norwalk. Any medicinal preparations
that carries out its representations to
the letter, like Doan’s Kidney Pills,
becomes a house- hold necessity. Ask
any citizen of South N orwalk what will
cure their back, the answer invariably
is Doan" s Kidney Pills. One of those

the good work along 15 Mr. Frank St.

Natural Gan at Waldron.

Natural gas has been discovered in
England. The discovery Was made at
Waldron, in Sussex County, and like
the first in America was accidental.
CharlesDawson, the geologist, was
boring for Water. When the lower
strata had been bored to a depth of 377
feet work was'stopped, a strong smell
of gas having been noticed. A light
was applied to the top of the long tube
of the bore, and a flame immediately
sprang up to the height of fifteen or
sixteen feet. It burned with great fury
until it Was put out by means of damp
cloths being thrown over the top of the
tube. An iron cap has been fitted to
the top of the tube, with a vent allow-
ing an escape-of gas to take Place con-
tinuously. This cap and vent have now
been fixed for fifteen months, and the
gas can be lit at any time, and shows
no signs of diminution. There appears
at present to be an ample supply for
the lighting of a town, if the necessary
plant were erected, and the supply, a:
far as can be judged, seems to be pretty
constant—Chicago Times—Herald.

The short December day was clos-’

ing in. The twilight mingled pleasant
ly with the ruddy glow of the fire, and
the girl at the window could no longer
see to read. She looked, instead, into
the neighboring 'garden, bounded by
low hedges and Wind-bowed fir trees,

sharply outlined against a glowing"

crimson sky. The thin, rasping voice
of a mother roused the girl from the
wintry thoughts which had saddened
her large, dark eyes.

“Maisie,” she began, hesitatlngly, “I
want to speak to you again about—”
(the girl knew the particular tone of
voice, and broke in quickly with “Oh,
mother, please not ,that!”) “My dear
girl, it’s positively ridiculous the way
you alivays interrupt ‘me' and refuse to
listen to reason,” and, with a whine,
“it makes my position exceedingly
awkward and unpleasant. What am
I to do with you? Do you realize your
age, Maisie? Nearly 24. Why, your
sisters were all married before they
were your age, and Connie had two
children.

“At present,” the mother went on
relentlessly, “I am besieged on all sides
by men who wish to marry you, for
you are a pretty girl, Maisie—prettier
than any of your sisters, and more like
your dear grandmother, Who was quite
a belle in her time—but in a few years
nobody will look at you, your chances
of happiness and of making a good
match will be over forever. Percival
Sufton”—(“Alr, I knew that was com-
ing,” sighed the gun—said he would
come to tea this evening, and he is
very anxious to speak to you.”

After a pause she went on. “I want
to know what stands in your way of
doing as the others had sense enough
to do—of setting my mind at rest about
you, and of taking up a position in
life as the wife of a good man.”

“You mean of a rich man,” the girl
said languidly, folding her hands and
again turning her eyes to the gar-
den.

A tall man, with bowed head and
hands clasped behind him, was walk-
ing restlessly over the little lawn, a
few nches of fr'eslrlyfallensnowdelrd-
ening the sound of his quick footsteps,
and the girl watched with unconscious
fascination‘the dark shadowy prints.

stranger with the grave face and ath-
letic. thongh now stooping form, had
never shown the slightest desire to
make friends; indeed.
terrnined to avoid any chance or risk
'of doing so. Years ago, when
girl’s mother had called upon the
lonely newcomer, she had found him
at home, and he only acknowledged
the visit by a polite note of thanks ex-
plaining that he never made or receiv-
ed calls, and lived a life of study and
unbroken solitude. To—night’, as her
mother talked and the girl’s attention
wandered to the growing number of

unusual circumstance arrested her
thoughts and drew her still farther
from the sordid and weariso‘me con-
versation. A servant came out of the
house and handed to the man an or-
ange colored envelope. which he did
not open till he was again alone. Then
he disappeared. .

The girl returned to consciousness
with :1 slight startwand, became dimly
aware of a question in her mother‘s
face and voice. She risked, at ran-
dom, the first answer that occurred to
her: “Oh, yes, if you like, mother!”
The reply was evidently appropriate.

“Come in and shut the door ” was
“I have been waiting for
you.”

"You are alone, as usual,” she asked,
drawing nearer.

' “I am always alone. Why in the. .

worl did you come?”

"You had a telegram just now,.in the
garden,” she explained; “I feared it
might be bad news.”

He gave a little hard, mirthless
ldugh. “Bad news has long ceased to
be'possible in my life,” he said, cold-
ly. Was that why you came?”

“vac n

“Reason enough to keep most peo-
ple away,” he remarked, drily. At last
she asked: “Why do you walk round
and round your lawn every evening?"

He shrugged his shoulders. . “Force
of habit, I suppose; it is the way I

,think. ”

Then, hastily changing the subject,
he inquired: “What will your mother
say when you tell her Where you’ve
been?”

“I don’t think it will occur~ to her to
ask. Her thoughts are taken up at
the present moment”—she glanced at
the clock—“in accepting an offer of
marriage on my behalf. She is an ad‘
mirable woman: I am her sixth daugh-
ter, and when she-has disposed of me
we shall all have been married before
the age of 24.”

Tlre.gir'l was gazing at him steadily
and without flinching vaguely she
found herself wondering if there had
ever been a time in her life when she
had not known him—when, in fact this
stranger had not been her first and
greatest thought. the supreme interest
which completely filled the emptiness
of her world. So bad love come to her
unsought, and as yet she knew it not
by that name. When she spoke her
voice was low and appealing: “Well, it
can matter little how one works out
one’s destiny, if in the end all will in-
fallibly turn out well. For instance,
I shall marr-y'this man of my mother's
choice. and perhaps for a few years
we will be nlrserable together; but at

“And will you tell him so yourself.

I expect you 'will both feel a little shy

“I should like you to see him by
yburself, mother,” said the girl, rising
and Wondering with complete disin-
terest what would be the outcome of!
her mental aberration and wandering
response.

“And I may tell

through the hall, wrapping a soft gray ‘

cloak about her as she went, and
then, opening a side door and closing
it quietly behind her, she slipped out
into the snow covered garden. In the
low hedge which divided it from the
neighboring patch there was a broken
space large enough to squeeze through
and a moment later she was skimming
across the very lawn where she had
just seen the owner’s footsteps multi-
plying in the snow. As she had ex!
pected, he had left his garden door
Open, and through this she made her-
way into the hall, and thence into the
only room from which as yet a light

emerged. A cozy fire and a. red-shad—’

ed lamp showed her a charming study,
lined from floor to ceiling with books,
and in a deep arm-chair before the
fire she beheld her three years’ neigh-
bor, the owner of this delightful sanc-

tum. I .

On the threshold she stood still with
From what she had
seen of his face she had not thought
him remarkable in appearance—this
man was without doubt singularly
handsome. She had believed the
bowed form belonged to a man 'of 50
at least, whereas this man could not
have been more, and was probably
less than 35. A vague sense of vexa—
tion filled her, and she wished she had
not yielded to the ridiculous impulse
which had brought her thither. Then,
in a moment, a revulsion of feeling
made her glad, with a great throb of
gladness, that she had obeyed the dic-
tates of her folly. He looked up from
the fire, gazed at her abstractedly for
half a second, and when he spoke his
voice showed no surprise.

Havana, Aug. 19. —There arrived from-

four American newspapers, none of
whom were permrtted by General
Blan'c‘o to land, the governor general
considering their arrival here lnonor-

that their presence here before the

Several passers by saw them, but were
not attacked. The station chief at Ca-
bezas, in the Matanzas province, re-

was attacked and a. brisk musketry fire

was kept up for an hour, but no dam- .

the 15th last. twelve armed insurgents
appeared at the plantation Loledad,
from which they drove away thirty-
four oxen, after macheting a. number
of guerillas. They were pursued by a
not
overtaken.

The governor of Matanzas has dis-

Reports from Matanzas state that
torpedoes and other defences of the

they can be loaded at Port Tampa.
Shall leave here Saturday on govern-

Havana, Aug. 20. —The officers at the

one of the most difficult problems with
which they have 'had to deal for a long
time.

It is the pacificartion of the soldiers
of the regular army now on the island

months.

Two army officers said positively that
the. troops would never evacuate the is-
land until they had been paid.
soldiers also say that they will never
give up their arms until taken from
