TOMPKINS.

(Continued.)

"Do you remember Lucy Cary?" he asked.

I replied that 1 did— very well indeed —and the picture of a youthful face of Madonnalike beauty came out with strange distinctness from the memories of the past as I said it.

"Well, I saw Luoy there," continued Tompkins, "singing m the choir m churoh, looking just as she did m the long ago days when we used to serenade her. I am willing to tell you about it. "

Tompkins said this m such a confid ing manner that I instinotively moved toward him and took hold of his hand.

"All right, olassmate," he said, sit ting up and looking me m the eyes m a peculiarly winning way that had won us all when he was m oollege.

"Why, boys I" exolaimed Mrs. Pem ber, with her light laugh.

Tompkitis found a large atone, put it against a tree and sat down on it, while I reclined at his feet. He said:

"You have asked me, Mrs. Pember, very often about the people up here, and now I will tell you about some of them. Do you notioe that mountain away beyond the lake, m behind the others, so that you oan see only the top, which is shaped like a pyramid? That is old Whitefaoe, and it is more than 40 miles from here. It used to be un derstood that there was nothing what ever over there except woods and rocks and bears and John Brown. But the truth is, right at the foot of the moun tain, m the valley on this side, there is a little village called Wilmington, and it is the oenter of the world. Luoy Cary and I were born there. It was not muoh of a village then, and it is about the same now. There was no churoh, and no store, and no hotel m my time. There were only half a dozen dwelling houses, and a blacksmith shop, and a man who made shoes. Luoy lived m the house next to ours. Her father was the man who made shoes. Luoy and I pick ed berries and rambled about with Roveif the dog, from the time we were little. Of course you will naturally think there is something romantio com ing, but there is not. We were just a oouple of children playing together, and we studied together as we grew older. They made a great deal of studying and schooling over there. They had almost as much respect for learning then m Wilmington as they havo now among the White mountains, where they will not allow any waiters at the hotels who cannot talk Qreek.

"It was quite an affair when Luoy and I left Wilmington and came to Bur lington. The departure of two inhab itants was a loss to the town. It was not equal to the Chicago fire, but it was an important event. I went to college, and Lucy came over the lake to work m a woolen factory. There is where she worked," pointing to the beautiful lit tle village of Winooski, a mile behind us, m the green valley of Ouiou river.

"And Bhe had to work there for a living while you went to colloge?" ask ed Mrs. Pember.

"That was it," said Tompkins. "We used to serenade her sometimes, with the rest, but she seemed to think it waa not exactly the right thing for a poor factory girl, and so we gave it up. I used to see her occasionally, but some how there grew up a distance between us."

n"How was that?" inquired Mrs. Per-

ber. "Well, to tell the truth," answered Tompkins, "I think ray college ideas had too muoh to do with it. I diJ not see it at the time, but it has come over me lately. When a young chap gets his head full of new ideas, he is very like ly to forget the old ones. " "You did not mean to do wrong, I am sure," said Mrs. Pember. "The exouse I have, ' ' continued Tomp kins, "is that I had to work and sorimp and suffer so myself to get along and pay my way that I hardly thought of anything exoept my studies and how to m eet my expenses. Then there was that dream of doing some great thing m the world. I taught the distriot school m Wilmington three months during my sophomore year to get money to go on With, and I think that helped to make me an jifcious. It was the sinoere con viotion of the neighborhood over there that I would be president of the col lege or of the United States. I do not think they would have conceded that there was muoh difference m the two positions. I felt that I would be disgraced if I did not meet their ex peotations. By one of those coincidences which seemed to follow our fortunes Luoy made a long visit home when I was teaohing m Wilmington. She waa one of my pupils. She was a quiet little lady and hardly spoke a loud word that I remember all winter. " "Did you try to talk to her, Tim othy?" asked Mrs. Pember. "I donotolaim that I did," answered Tompkins. "I was studying hard to keep up with my olass, and that was the reason. But I wish I had paid more attention to Luoy Cary that winter. I would not have you think there was any thing particular between Luoy and rae. It was not that. " "We will think just what we please, interrupted Mrs. Pember m a serious tone. "Well," oontinued the narrator, "it would be absurd to suppose there was any such thing. " There was a long pause. "You had better tell the rest of the Btory, Tim othy," said the old gentleman persua sively. . "Yes, I will," responded Tompkins. •'After I came back to oollege I got along better than before I had taught. The money I reoeived for teaching help ed me, and another thing aided me. The folks m Wilmington found out how a poor young man works to get through college. Some of us used to live on $1 a week apiece and board ourselves m our rooms down there m the build ings and we were doing the hardest kind of studying at the same time. We would often olub together, one doing the cooking for five or six. The oook would get off without paying. It was one of the most delightful things m the world to see a tall young vvw m a call-

ACCIDENTS.

Early ob Friday morning an accident, which nearly proved fatal, occurred to an old man named Jack Molnelly ("Shock)' m 'he employment of Mr A. J. HuatoD. It appears that after he had gone a round or two with a Cambridge roller the coupling between two of the hor»es broke, and he got down and fixed it up. When jumping up to

the Beat again the horsca started, and he slipped and fell forward between the horses and the rollers, and before he could stop the team the roller had run up bis left arm to his rhoulder. Luckily the horses heard his voice and pulled op then, bat the poor old fellow was pinned m this painful position, for almost an hour, nntil one of his fellow workmen noticing the team standing still so long, went aud found him as stated, and manged to back the roller enough to get him out. Although terribly shaken, and the muscles of bis arm and shoulder much bruised, the plucky old man was able to walk to the hut and get into bed, when it was ascertained that no bones were broken.

He ia getting round fairly will, and a few days will see him at work again. lam pleased to say that Frank Meadea, who waa co seriously injured laßb week at Mr E. G. Wriyht's Surrey HilU Estate, ia progressing favouiably, and will Boon be about again. He was a long time uncon scious after the accident, and Ihe doctor v ho attended to him said it wib nearly all over with him. A five minutes longer before he wbb found, and he would have ceaaed to breathe. THE WEATHER, What could we talk about had we not this unfailing subject 1 "Well, we have had the usual " samples " during the past week, rain and wind alternating every twenty-four hour?, with a touch of frost ono night, and a thunderstorm on Saturday afternoon, by way of variety.

The rape crops all over the dißtricb promise to be very good. What with manure and rain they are growing very fast, and there will be abundance of feed to top off the lambs quickly.

The practice — which of late has become prevalent — of giving bob fly remedies or ordinary colio drinks, without proper dis- crimination the moment a horse is taken bad cannot be too severely condemned. Many a valuable horse has been sacrificed through the owner not understanding simple symptoms So-called rearfdiee, inimical to life under certain cob ..itions, are ad- ministered, with the resull that the disorder assumes an acute fcrm, the owner becomes alarmed, but alas !it is often too late.
