Parmenter started out for a walk before breakâ€" fast. Out on the campus was a crowd of Sophomores getting up a game of footâ€" baill.

The message ran : walk _ The morning was exceptionally beauâ€" tiful, even for June. He crossed into the woods, drinking in the dewy perâ€" fumes as he went, feasting his eyes 01 sylvan sights, listening, with rapt ears, to the music of the singing birds. He thought that he had never in his life before seen a morning so thoroughly icharming as this. At ‘one time ‘The found himself in the path leading to the ledge where they had taken Van Loan that miserable night in April. He turned aside at once in another diâ€" rection.

Then, if ever, come perfecE' days ; "Then Heaven tries the earth if it be in tune, And over it softly her warm ear lays." _ He went down the stairs two steps at a time. Some students in the lower hall, hearing his cheery voice and seeâ€" ang his radiant face, so wondered at the transformation that they turned and followed him. â€" He went to the window, and looked out upon the sweet June landscape. "What a glorious day it was ! He seizâ€" ed his hat, and left the room singing : @"And what is so rare as a day in June ? eomedn Ey mt Parmenter sat down on the bed and evied like a child. ‘ Then he jumped up and wiped the tears away, and laughed, and read the letter again, and many times again.

I have some beggarly excuses for my conduct which I would like to tell you personally, if I may call and see you. May I come, and when? Parmenter was stricken with grief and remorse. His old friend‘s »llness swept away the last vestige of his reâ€" sentment. â€" In all that had passed beâ€" tween them, Parmenter came to recogâ€" nize no unfriendly acts but his own, no unkind words save those which he himself had spcken. He kept himself informed of Charley‘s condition through his friends, and at last, finding that the sick man was not likely to be able to leave his room until after Commenceâ€" ment, he sat down one day and wrote‘ him this letcer : Crarrer VIâ€" Almost a Tragedy. Charley Lee had not been seen in public since the day when his intoxicaâ€" tion had been so terribly exposed by Van Loan. Some of the students said that he was ashamed to show himself ; others that his father kept him a prisâ€" oner. But after a little while the truth came out, and all the college knew that he was ill, and could not go out. The reaction‘ from his fit of incbâ€" riety had been a severe shock to a sysâ€" tem not especially strong, and the disâ€" grace which had fallen on him preyed sharply on his mind. He suffered a kind of nervous prostration, followed by a low fever ; and his strength ga.ve‘ way rapidly. 3 WEISEERING TONGUES A STORY OF COLLEGE LIFPE BY KOMET GREENE. 3 The meeting was large beyond preâ€" cedent. Davis the man of the senior class, was made chairman, and White, a EFreshman, arose and offered the folâ€" lowing?resolutions : of Zsuspense was somewhat relieved, it sought to find vent. Early on Monday, morning the word went round that there would be a colâ€" lege meeting in North College Hall, and it was whispered that Van Loan‘s case would be taken up and disposed of. The feeling against him on acâ€" count of his heartless exposnre of Lee had become intensified with Charley‘s critical illness, and now that the strain As he stood thers, Parmenter went over in swifté review the reasons for his hatred of Professor Lee. He stripâ€" ped them of their fallacies, of their baseless judgments; till they stood naked and shrinking before him, and then for the first time he realized how utterly unworthy he had been to critiâ€" cize the motives or denounce the conâ€" duct of such a man. He went back to: his room under the dawnâ€"flushed sky, more wise and more humble than he had. ever been before. All through the quiet Sunday Charâ€" ley lay, gaining a little hour by hour, and when night came again they said that row he had a fair chance to live. Was it possible that this was the man whom he had charged with unâ€" just motives, with doubleâ€"dealing, with conduct entirely at vartance with the whole tenor of his good and gracious life? And what foundation was there for the charge 1 That face, as Parmenter saw it unâ€" der the lamplight, coming and going, struck him to the heart. . Never before in his life had he seen.such woe and hope expressed in a single conntenance. Never before had he seen the inteuse desire of a man‘s keart strained through his face like this.> & The hall door opened and the proâ€" fessor himself came out. With his hands behind him and his face turned toward the stars, he came down to the gate, and out on the walk, passing under the gas lamp within five feet of Parmeater, and continuing along the terrace to the college gate. There he turned, came back the same way and reâ€"entered his house. j nastpae n . J‘ust before dawn he stood in the shadow of the great.elm by the side of Professor Lee‘s gate, waiting to see or hear some one or something from his friend. The night came on, but Parmenter did not sleep. Many times in the darkness he crept down the section stairs, across the campus and over to the house where Charlie lay. There were lights in the windows. â€" He could see people moving about the rooms, and twice some one came out of whom he made inqticies. Late in the afternoon â€" Parmenter caught sight of Doctor Park, hurrying along in front of South College. He ran and overtook him. «"What about Charley ?" he asked breathlessly. 5 t "My dear man," said â€" the doctor, kindly, "we can‘t tell. He is alive ; we are making every effort to keep him alive. That is all I can say." But Charley still lived. The spark of lifein his body paled and. glowed alternately, and as the day wore on, hone revived. Parmenter went to his room, but he could not stay there. In ten minutes he was out on the campus asking for the latest news of Charley._ He sat on the terrace wall where he could watch the Lee house. . As often as the door opened he caught his breath in the dread that some one would bring out the news of Charlie‘s death. "Whereas : Benjamin _ ®*Â¥es, much worâ€"e. An intense feyâ€" er, accompanied by delirium, set in last evenieg and soon exhausted him. He lies now in a state of coma, with symptoms of heart failure." "Willâ€"will he die ?" Parmenter‘s lips were white, his knees were trembling, his voice was scarcely audible. "They have little hope of saving his life. The end may come at any momâ€" ent. . Here, take my arm. The news has unnerved you. I am going your way ; T will walk with you." “No,"wresponded Parmenter, huskiâ€" ly, backing up against a tree for support. _ "How changedâ€"worse ?" _ "Hadn‘t you heard," he replied, "of his changed condition 1" ly. "Is Charley about the same as yestâ€" erd .y P . He stopped and glanced up uneasily. People seemed to be moving about hurriedly in the upper rooms. The hall door opened and Mr. Delavan,the tutor, came out and down the steps. Parmenter approached him and asked hesitatingly : Parmenter did not stop to inquire what it was. Somehow he did not dare to He pushed on, with a sudden sinkiug of heart, until he came in front of Professor Lee‘s residence. orous, kopeful, with the sunshine of a brighter day than he had known for months already flooding his heart. In front of the cha:i)el a group of young men stood in earnest conversaâ€" tion ; at the corner of South College a halfâ€"dozen more were talking to each other in subdued voices. The expresâ€" ions on their fac s indicated that someâ€" thing had gone wrong. The tutor looked at him wondering E. Van Loan, "Drive. me to the Inman pier !" he called to the cabman. "Don‘t waste a second.. There‘s money in it for} you." At five o‘clock in the morning the train rolled in the Grand Central Staâ€" tion, New York city; Parmenter rushed out hotly and hailed a cab, Away he went to the railroad staâ€" tion, just in time to swing himself into the train for New York. At Albany he went into a sleepingâ€"car, but didn‘t have his berth made up. He knew he could not sleep. His whole being had turned on the accomplishment of one objectâ€"to find the two men whom hehad, szieeply wronged, and. beg their foi@iveness. _ Parmenter was almost speechless with dismay ; but he had enough presâ€" ence of mind to ascertain that they were not to sail till the next. morning, and that they were to go on the steamâ€" ship City of Paris. Certainly there was no time to lose. «All gone away to New. York this morning," said the servant at Professor Lee‘s house, when Parmenter| rang the bell.. "They‘ve started for BEurâ€" ope !" & _He threw a few things into a satchel and took the first train for the east. He travelled anight and a day, and the next afternoon he found himself hurrying up Concord Street to College Hill. Hs had looked forward to the openâ€" ing of term in September as the time when he should go to the man whomhe had wronged, arraign himself, plead guilty, and ask to be forgiven. He could not postpone that duty for a year, perhaps two years or longer ; he felt that that he could not bear the burden of his shame for all that time, nor rest in the uncertainty of only a possible reconciliation. _ He must see Professar Lee and Charâ€" ley 1 befyre they sailed. to go with them. Parmenter was aroused into sudden activity. . In August a rumor reached Parâ€" menter that the Lees were going to Europe for a long vacation. Both Charley‘s health and his father‘s deâ€" manded the change, and Mrs. Lee was Mr. Delavan had told him on the day of his departure of some things that gave him a clearer insight into V,an Loan‘s perfidy, and into Professor Lee‘s simple honesty of character, and in days of more sober thought that followed he felt more and more how unworthy . had been his selfâ€"made charges and suspicions, how unjustifiâ€" able aud how unmanly had been his treatment of Professor Lee. This was on Wednesday On Thursâ€" day Parmenter started for his home, three hundred miles away. He hed seen neither Charley nor Professor Lee ; it was not possible to do so. But he was content now to bide his time for explanation, for confession, for reâ€" conciliation, ' A great cheer went up from the vast audience, for Lee, in spite of the past few months of ill behaviour, was still the bestâ€"loved fellow on the hill. On Commencement day. the anâ€" nouncement was made from the stage that the danger line in Charley‘s case had been passed, and only the unexâ€" pected would prevent his recovery. No belis were rung, no terrace songs were sung; the quiet of a peaceful Sunday reigned for days between South College and the gate. They allowed no cne to walk on the stone pavements in the vicinity. . They kept away all noise and intrusion. They themselves went about their dutâ€" ies on tiptoe and spoke in whispers. Nothing was left undone by anyone on the hill to help forward the chances of Charley‘s recovery. The Seniors gave up their class ball on his account, and the Juniors their "cremation." During the day it was said that, with the greatest care and the most complete rest and quict, Charley might recover.. Thereupon, Charley‘s classâ€" mates formed themselves into squads, and took turns in patrolling the erounds about the Lee house. __When, an hour later, this committee went to Van Loan‘s room, he was not there. The room was in disorder, as if he had made ready for n hasty flight. The comumittee on presentation of resoâ€" utions has never yet been able to report its duty fulfilled, for the reason that Van Loan has never since been seen at Concord College, _ The resolutions were carried with a rush. Not] a dissenting voice was heard. A committee of three was apâ€" pointed to present them to Van Loan. "Resolved : That the students do not desire to usurp the powers of the faculty, they wish to express their unâ€" divided opinion that the interests of all persons will be better served if the said Benjamin E. Van Loan shall sever his connection with Concord Colâ€" lege at the eud of the present college year " "Resolved : That the hearty thanks of the students of Concord College are due to the said Parmenter for his just and timely blow, and be it further a member of the Freshman class, on the afternoon of the seventeenth day of the present month, gui‘ty of an ofâ€" fence unbecoming a student of Concord College, unmanly inhuman in the exâ€" treme, and, "«Whereas : For this said offence and certain abusive language conâ€" nected therewith, Sophomore Alfred B.

Apart from the practicability of any scheme for realizing it, the Union of the different nations of Angloâ€"Saxâ€" ons has such welcome aspects of wealth | and dominance for the race that the consideration of it will grow in interest from year to year. Whatever vitality and reasonableness the idea may have comes from the strong bonds of similarâ€" ity in blood, language and fundamental instivutions. _ The greater the progress of each branch of the race, the greater are the possibilities which a union of them all seems to reveal. The questâ€" ion cuts across the lines of party divisâ€" ion, and attracts to it with special inâ€" terest all those whose patriotism goes beyond local bounds, or recognizes the affinities of the Angloâ€"Saxon race as having claims more extensive than the territorial limits within which any branch of it may be placed. Recâ€" ent facts show the growth of this sentâ€" iment: Statesmen, historians and poâ€" ets of the Englishâ€"speaking world have given hopeful utterances on this topic. Giadstone, Balfour, Freeman, Longfelâ€" low and Tennyson have voiced this feelâ€" ing of race and the benefits which may springlfrom it when the great communâ€" ities of Anglo Saxon origin are united by closer ties in the future. Englishâ€" men and. Americans can kardly look upon each other as foreigners,. Blood is thicker than water;; and no surface differences of government or social question can dilute away from it the vigorous life which England has imâ€" parted to her offspring. Already, by the force of two great examples of arâ€" bitration, war seems to have become obsolete among Englishâ€"speaking peoâ€" ples. Commerce, intermariage and the influence of litearture are bringing them closer togethel\ every year. Beâ€" sides, there is already a foretaste of more tangible union.: . The great orgaâ€" nizations of moral and social reform are beginning to be be federated. Laâ€" bor and temperance organizations are being united for the attainment of a common object gmroughout the Englishâ€" speaking world. There are those those who do not believe in other than awpral union. Political arrangements seein to them incapable of welding toâ€" gether in to one coherent body of comâ€" munities so far apart. On the other hand, if a scheme of Imperial Federaâ€" tion, pronounced practicable by its adâ€" vocates, can include so many. members of this great family, there does not apâ€" pear to be any good reason why the scheme should not be changed or . widâ€" ened so. as to include the remaining member. Bnt, of course, the political aspects of this question are only begin= ning to be thoroughly discussed. They | have gained prominence‘from common kinship of Euglishâ€"speaking nations, and from the international approach which results from its persistent forces. | There can be no doubts that the causes of closer unibnwill;'opera,te more strongâ€" ; ly from year to year. f â€"There she is," replied the officer, pointing to a majestic steamer in midâ€" stream, gay with flying colors, and headed down the river. : «Has she gone?" gasped Parmenter. "It looks as if she had," replied the officer, smiling. In sudden weakness and despair Parmenter staggered to an empty truck, sat down on it, and buried his face in his hands. ‘Where is the City of Paris?" in quired Parmenter of him. 4 Some people were coming leisurely up ; a family group stood not far away the persons in it weeping quietly ; the edge of the pier was lined with men and women, and at the farther corner of it were many who were waving handkerchiefs. An officer with a gold band around his cap stood looking out upon the water. At last the cab pulled up at the entâ€" rance to a pier. Parmenter leaped out, handed the cabman a sum of monâ€" ey that surprised and delighted him, and plunged at once into the shadows of the long buildings. He hurried down, between rows of bales and boxâ€" es, toward the landingâ€"place. The vehicle rattled swiftly over raugh places and smooth. . Parmenter fretted nervously within. For Over Fifty Years. Angloâ€"Saxon Union. (To be continued.) ©YÂ¥es, it is no more than right that you should know. _ When we were abouat 10 miles out, my attorney generâ€" al came to me and raised a point of law. It was this; That Jones City would not become the legal capital of the terâ€" ritory unless we had the mellar which belonged under the capitol building: I gave the reins to my territorial secreâ€" tary and directed the [attorney general instantly to bring a test case before the district court then sitting in its chamâ€" bers on the first floor. _ It decided that he was right. _ Then as we rattled along across the prairie I appealed the case to the supreme court, on the second floor, It confirmed the decision of the lower court. I instantly stopped, unâ€" hitched the mules and went back after the cellar. We were all arrested at Bismarck, with the aid of troops from Fort A. Lincoln, for abduction. It appeared that the beggarly janitor of the capitol was hidden in his room in the attic. "But tell us what was the difficulty" said Robinson, B c nBlersueereniresnunt Bove We ut t mt ce es 920 i 2e ‘Under cover of darkness we adjustâ€" ed the wheels and hitched on the mules Most of my officials took their places in the several rooms and as the level rays of the rising sun shot athwart the broad plain, carpetingRit with cloth of gold and waking the songbirdsZto melâ€" ody and the wild flowers to prodigality of fragrance., I touched up the wheel mules from the front portico, and we rolled away out Zof town, with my governor on the roof blowing & tin horn and my superintendent of schools, a very conservative man, on top of the chimney firing his revolvor in the air and singing "Hail Columbia," It was a noble scene, and one which lives in my memory, but theZeffort was a failâ€" ure. â€" Gentlemen, I{left Dakota withâ€" out a cent in the world." Jones rested his cheek in his hand and looked at the floor. "But I was not discouraged and deâ€" termined on the boldest stroke ever atâ€" tempted in the territory. . It was nothâ€" ing more nor less than to bring the capitol building down from Bismarck and put it in the place of my courtâ€" house, thus making Jones City the capitol of the territory.. Fearing that the old territorial officers might not come, I hired a new set of officials, inâ€" cluding a governor, auditor, judges, atâ€" torney general and so forth, choosing them mostly from my old county offâ€" cers, who had been left behind. Borâ€" rowing the courthouse wheels from Jay Bird county, I took my territorial offiâ€" cers, 50 leading citizens and 10 spans of mules and proceeded to Bismarck. "The vines grew so fast that they wore the ipumpkins all out dragging them along the ground. I sold imy patent] for $5,000 and used the money in booming Jones City. I built two churches and a& theatre and started a daily newspaperâ€"the Jones City Volâ€" canic Eruption. But it was a severe blow to the town when it lost the coun:â€" ty seat. Atithat timeâ€"It was 10 years agoâ€"the Dakota courthouses were kept on wheels, I may almost say. One afternoon a party of men from Jumâ€" persburg crept up, hitched six mules on my courthouse and trotted away with it to their own town. “No,'I didn‘t. know it," returned Jackson Peters, «*Why was it impos: sible?" "Impossible," answered Jones. "It was a prairie country, so there were no trees aud consequently no bears. Beâ€" sides, bears have no tails. You show a lamentable ignorance of both geograâ€" pby and natural history, _ It was while at Jones City I patented my Dakota pumpkin anchor. Before that it was imposeible, as you doubtless know, to raise this nutritious vegetable in the territory." Jackson Peters did not seem to be wholly satisfied. "Perhaps the bears out there swung from branch to branch by their (ails," he suggested in a tone of fine sarcasm. "I don‘t know why I couldn‘t, Jackâ€" son," replied Jones. "I taught that one, and he was just a plain Astatic elephant. The swinging was comparaâ€" tively easyâ€"the hardest part was to teach him to twist his tail about the bar and raise himself up. He would have been performing yet if that rival showman hadn‘t greased the second trapeze bar, so that his tail slipped and unwound in making his final $10.000 challenge flying leap. _ After that I wert out to Dakota and began in the real estate business by founding Jones City and making it the capital of Tumâ€" ble Weed county." j "Thank you," returned Jones. "As I have remarked so many times before, I s mply related the facts. Of course Jackson will pretend that he does not believe it. Instead of treasuring up such things for use in the future he reâ€" jects them, »nd thus misses golden opâ€" portunities to improve his young mind. He will see bis mistake when it is too late." "How long did you stay with the cirâ€" cus?" asked Smith. "Iwo years," answered Jones "But what I‘d like to inquire,"broke in Jackson Peters, with some earnest: ness, ""is if you pretend to tell us that you could takeZan elephant and teach him to swing off a trapeze by his tail, like a monkey ?" d "That was n good story," briefly ob served Robinson. Rise of Jones (ity. "Do I know of any case where an applicant for the police succeeded in deâ€" celving the examiners?" said a gentleâ€" man the other day. I know well a man who started life worth nothing, and a few months ago he owned two valuable farms,. He spent fifty years in hard work, practicâ€" ing economy and managing. well. He ‘became suretytfor a man in business, and toâ€"day his farm fences are plasterâ€" ed with attachments. and he is not worth a penny, The principle is wrong that leads to such results. The friendâ€" ship that requires one to jeopardize the the home that shelters his family in orâ€" der that.another ;may have plenty of capital to risk in business is a curse. Security debts have been paid and will continue to be paid, but much trouble and loss might be kept out of our lives by remembering that only "he that hateth suretiship is sure." _ Giving bond for the faithful disâ€" ‘charge of duty is a necessity. When those who handle puvlic funds or have the property of others in their charge ask one to become surety, the difficulty is greater. / Unusually it appears to be only a matter of common bonesty, and and no one wants to seem to question his friend‘s uprightness. But here again the farmer, merely because his name is backed by real estate, should not be called upon to jeopardize his property, unless it be in the case of frienas who cannot well evaae the reâ€" sponsibility thrust upon them. Withâ€" in two years I have been especially inâ€" terested in two cases where the men giving bond were strictly honest. It seemed that the sureties were only askâ€" ed to go through a formality for near neighbors. ‘ And yet these to men nearâ€" ly brought loss to the men signing their bonds.. In one case a trusted relative of the man got hold of the money, usâ€" ing it in his business, and escape from loss was due to the fact that the relaâ€" tive did not become bankrupt until the money had been gotten from him. In the other case a valuable farm, owned by the man giving bond, could be sold to meet a big deficit caused by supposâ€" ed robbery, and the second escape was made. _ : When one man lends money to anâ€" other and makes a charge for its use, it does not seem quite right that he should require that a third man, who reaps no benefit from the loan, must step in and agree to repayâ€"to the lendâ€" er the full amount of the loan if the borrower fails to do so. However, this is the method that prevails in the busiâ€" ness world, and there is no escape. But the farmer who makes his money in slow ways has a perfect moral right to refuse to become surety for any man engaged in any other business, without fear of giving offense. I& offense is taken, the friendship of such a one costs more than it is worth. The man who takes risks should look for assistâ€" ance to those who do like wise. To such,the loss of thousands is not;as serâ€". fousZas to a farmer who can scarcely expect to raise if once his capital is taken from him. It would seem that some exchange of suretiship is almost a n=cessity, but there is a rule that is much more equitâ€" able and safe for the farmer than the one that prevails toâ€"day. The farmer‘s gains or losses in business are naturâ€" ally slow, while middlemen and speculâ€" ators risk more and the gainsZand lossâ€" es are correspondingly large. A farmâ€" er may give security for another farmâ€" er with less risk than for the man en: gaged in a less certain line of business, but he should not be expected to jeoâ€" pardize his [accumulations in order to furnish money for those who risk more and hope to make money faster, "If thou be surety for tby friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger, thou art snared with the words of thy mouth. Give not sleep to thine eyes, or slumber to thine eyelids. Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler." This counsel of Solomon is unheeded by the majority of men,. Its wisdom has come home forcâ€" ibly and sadly to some of my neighbors lately, and their experience is only that of thousands of farmers. â€" A local busiâ€" ness man assigned with forty thousand dollars liabilities and only a few thousâ€" and dollars assets. _ He was and extenâ€" sive patron of money lenders, and obâ€" liging neighbors endorsed his paper. Banks lent for the sake of profit, but only when bard working farmers stakâ€" ed their property upon the ability of the borrower to repay the money. Now they are snared by the words of their mouths. No‘one spoke when Jones stapped, but all looked at Jackson Peters. â€" His eves were closed as if in sleep, but there and that we had kidnapped the scounâ€" drel without knowing it.
