How I Came
to Marry
By ALLAN G. LAMOND
lu the gold bunting days I wont out
to the gold fields to make n fortune. I
fell In with a young man of my own
age, Klliot Mansfield, nnd we agreed j
to prospect together. Mansfield had
left a mother and sister, to whom he I
was much attached. Unfortunately his |
mother had received an injury to one
of her eyes, nnd sluce her son's depar- J
ture for the west? it had extended to
the other eye. and she was gradually
becoming blind.
The letters she wrote Mansfield were
pathetic. She hoped that he might be
with her again, but she did uot hope
to see him. His sister wrote him that,
if possible, he should come home that
his mother might see blm once more
before losing her sight. But he had
no money for the Jtfurncy. and if he
could get home be would not be able
to get back again, lie was a resolute
fellow and averse to giving up what
he had undertaken—namely, to go back.
If ever he did go hack, with a fortune.
I was no better off than Mansfield.
We wandered about with picks on
our shoulders wherever we believed
there might be gold and at last siip
cec.! mI in striking dirt that promised
to pay. WUile we were getting It into
shape to secure cipitul with which to
work it Mansfield was taken sick. He
was ill a long while, and during this
time 1 wrote letters for him to his
mother nnd sister. In these letters, at
his remit- t, I forged bis handwriting
that they might not suspect that he
Furthermore, ho charged mo to ten
them that be had struck li mine of
value ami would soon go east with a
view to forming a company to work it.
The poor fellow <;id not re'over. lie
asked tue liefore he died to make
over his share iji our mine to his moth
er and sister and if possible go east,
as ho had hoped to do. atid either sell
the mine or organize a company, ns 1
mi- !:t l>e able Dreading the shock of
his de:;th on Ji!mother, he asked me
to keep up the deception tit! I should
go east and arrange with his sister for
breaking the sad news to his mother.
I found an opportunity to sell out for
>."< . >00 ami availed myself of It. If I
had held on the property would have
■'(> me very rich, but-1 was tired of
the de- option I was practicing and
knew my late partner's mother and sis
ter were very poor. Taking their share
of the proceeds with me. I went at
once to the town In which they lived.
Ou my arrival I sent a messenger to
Mi n Manslield to tell her that her
brother's partner had arrived with
news of him. but cautioning her to say
nothing al.ont mo to her mother until
I had Issd an opportunity to see her.
She appointed a meetins with me at
the home of one of her friends. I went
there and told her the bad uews I bad
for her.
To her grief was added the fact that
her mother, who had now become quite
blind, was looking for her son every
day Her d :lighter—Mildred was her
name—was la .-v-nny at the Idea of Im
parting the in". :; to her. She could
not think of doing so lit the time, for
the old lady was not in a condition to
bear It. So we arranged between ns
that until she was better I was to
write letters as before, putting off the
son and brother's arrival.
Mildred Mansfield was a very lovely
girl. I sympathized with iier deeply,
and it was a matter of satisfaction
that 1 wits enabled to turn over to her
her brother's share in what I had real
ized for the mine.
One day. desiring to consult with
Mildred. I went to her house to see her.
1 could see no jisk of revealing the
true iiu.'ttlon in doing so. Hut the old
lady, who was in her room above,
heard my voice below and got it Into
her head that I was her son. The
idea occurred to Mildred of permit
ting her mother to believe me to be
her son. and 1 saw no objection to the
plan So 1 went upstairs and submit
ted to a hugging and weeping that
were almost hysterical.
"The mine is sold, mother," I said,
"and ray share is &J5.000. it's all in
ban!; right here in this town."
"I'm very happy," she s.iid through
her tears, "though 1 can't see you. You
must stay here always, and so long as
I live neither you nor your sister must
marry, but live here for me and each
other."
Mildred was too embarrassed by this
to make a reply, so 1 was obliged to
make it myself.
"Yes, mother. We1 will live only for
you aiul eaeti other."
I was looking at Mildred when I said
this, and she raised Lor eyes nnd blush
ed. Thou slio said. "You'd better give
mother time to recover from her ex
cilenient." and I went downstairs.
Well, we were in for it now deeper
than ever. Of rourse I was obliged to
take up my (juarters In Uie house, and
since Mi's. Mansfield was blind as a
bat she was not available for a chaper
on. We talked over the matter of
telling her the truth, and finally I said:
"Why not let her remain in igno
rance? We can be married, and that
will make it all right for me to live
here. After your mother's death, if
you wish it, I will help you to get the
marriage annulled."
So we had a wedding ceremony per
formed. just to enable us to deceive
Mrs. Mansfield for her own good, and
when she died we concluded to let the
marriage stand. And that's the way
1 came to be a married man today and
the father of seven children—just to
avoid giving an old lady on the brink
of the grave a shock.
A Young Man's
Scheme
By M. QUAD
Copyright, 1913, by Associated Llt
"erary Press.
"Gaul durn her picture, but I love
tier!"
Tlio young man who uttered the
words was at work In the Geld, and he
straightened up to rest his weary back
n'id mutter:
"And I'll make her love me before
I'm through with her! She may think
I doa't amount to shucks, but all I
want is a chance to prove that I do.
Durn farm work! Durn widdere! Durn
lovt^ Durn everything!"
He kicked the fence to show his dis
gust aud wearily resumed work. Ebe
nrzer Schermerhorn, hired man, was
In love with the Widow Tompkins,
whose farm adjoined that of his boss
on the west Ebenezer was tweuty
fiv.ir years old, plain of face and un
gainly of form and without a hundred
dollars' worth of property.
One evening as he dropped in to see
the widow about borrowing some farm
Implement next day he found her read
ing a love story. She read a few chap
ters to him and afterward acknowl
edged that she had always been ro
mantic and that if she ever married
again It would be to a hero.
The farmer's hired nmn didn't rush
ri lit off that night and try to be a hero,
but sat down and did some thinking.
Three or four days after Ebenezer's
thinking bee a tramp came along the
road and. seeing the young man hoeing
corn just over the fence, halted for a
word or two. Ordinarily Ebenezer
would have ieaped the fence and run
the wayfarer half a mile, but on this
occasion lie luvltccl him over to me
coj:i nnd sat down with him for a con
fidential conversation. The result of
that conversation was that at 8
o'clock that evening the tramp nppear
cil before the Widow Tompkins and
made threats of what he would do If
she didn't set out victuals, hunt up old
clothes and come down with a dollar
in cash.
Ebcnezci' was not far away—just far
enough to come running up and knock
the tramp head over heels and rescue
the widow. But as he started to come
running he fell down and got tangled
up with the bushes, and before he
could get away the widow had broom
stleked the tramp into flight She
didn't say she was glad that the would
be hero was so near at hand. What
she did say was that she wasn't afraid
of any tramp walking the roads.
Ebenezer's Erst try was a failure,
but within a fortnight he was ready
for another. Two or three farmhouses
in the township had been robbed, and
this fact became the basis for his sec
ond plan. One night at midnight he
left his bed. descended to earth by
way of a window, and, armed with a
club, he became a guard for the wid
ow's house, lie circled nround It nnd
patrolled the garden and the orchard,
and he felt that he would give a year
of his life if a robber would appear,
rre would first fe'I him nnd then arouse
♦he house, ami when the widow came
to know that he had been guarding her
for love her heart would melt toward
hlra.
But no robber came. Instead of that
his footsteps awoke the widow, nnd,
peering out, she saw some one walking
about, and she got a shotgun nnd raised
a window and blazed away. The gun
was loaded with bird shot -to shoot

ezer received alx>ut twenty of them
:ttid ran two miles to a doctor to have
thorn picked out. lie also had a va
cation from work for a week under
th<? excuse that he had sprained his
hack turning over in bed.
Ninety-nine out of every hundred
would l»e heroes would have (liven up
ridit here, but Ebenezer was a man
to hang on. It was while he was limp
ing around on his vacation and doing
a lot of standing up and wandering
over tiie fields that he came upon the
widow fishing in the river at a certain
point. Tie did not show himself, but
fifty feet from where she sat under a
tree he discovered a bumblebees' nest
In the grass. It was a large and lib
eral nest, and it gave him a thought
The bees wouldn't bother anybody so
long as they were let alone. If stirred
up they would look for meat.
There was a haystack not far away,
and Ebenezer had matches In his
pocket. He retired behind the stack
and collected a hatful of stones from
the plowed land. These he threw one
by one at the spot where the bees
were pursuing the even tenor or ineir
ways. The plot thickened. You can
thicken n bumblebee plot in n very
short time. All you've cot to do Is to
trend on their coattails. When the In
sets found the rocks dropping on their
heads they swarmed out of the grass
to look for the enemy. They should
have set^n the widow and descended
upon her. and at her first shrlsk Eb
pnezer would come charging down
with a wisp of lighted hay In either
hand. But things went wrong. The
bees then went for him nlone. They
run him up and down the haystack;
they ran him over fences and back;
they ran him across lots and in circles,
ond when they finally left him and he
fell down the widow came forward and
asked:
"But why were you such a fool?"
"Because I want you to marry me!"
he groaned In reply. "And you satd
you would marry a hero. I thought the
b"es would attack you find I could rush
in and save you."
"Why. you great Idiot! I've been
ready to say yes any day for the last
three months."

Herbert Spencer and tho Puddles.
On no one occasion was Herbert
Spencer known to ride when going to
a dinner, yet so carefully did he
guard himself against the chance of
soiling his dress shoes that he habitu
ally carried a bundle of old news
papers under his arm. These were
for the purpose of being dropped, one
by one, into each mud puddle he might
encounter on crossing the street. By

the store of papers was exhausted
Muddy slmes on the return walk did
not matter to him in the least.
HOME HAPPINESS.
The happiness of any home can
be murdered by any two people in
it, each determined daily to have
his or her own way. Riches or
poverty, position or obscurity, has
nothing to do-with it. Home hap
piness is built on unselfishness and
sympathy and forbearance.
