To His Newspaper Friends. J, J. Hunter, of the Kincardine Reporter, an,l 110W Grand Master of the L,O.L., Ontario West, had the following editorial note a—Boys, I went to thank you for the many kind things you have said in refer- ence to the honor conferred upon mo when I was elected Grand Pilaster of the Grand Orange Lodge of Ontario West. 111ave refrained from using them in my own paper, not because I do not appreciate them, but I be- lieve an editor sl1onid not use his pa- per to boost himself. 1 haye shown them t0 my wife and with that sense of loaner which God has bestowed upon her, site told me the following story. It's old, hitt it will bear re- peating: "John, T am reminded of the story of the Irishman who died T -Te had not been the best of hus- bands and had not taken much pati in the life of the community. In fact he was not an ideal citizen. However, the priest at his funeral gave hint a wonderful character. He said deceased was a model husband, a good provider, an outstanding citi- zen, in fact a man the conlmunity could ill afford to lose and the church would miss. Mrs, Casey af- ter listening to all these laudatory remarks leaned over to Mrs. Flanni- gan and said: 'For the love of. God look into the casket and see if that's Casey, 1 fear he is burying some oth er man'," However, it's good to have such a loyal group of friends as my fellow publishers have been. One shonid feel gratified that such a kindly spirit has been manifested to- ward him as has been shown toward me, I trust that no act of mine will cense me to lose that goodwill and confidence publicly expressed, and I can only say that I appreciate the references because we have learned to know one another in the news- paper game.

That was all the mother could get put of her daughter, The society news (7118 scanned from day to day until lir. King was menlhulltd as u guest s tt the house of one of Mrs. Haskins' agenda. The lady 18(113 appealed to to lIring about a n:le tin:; between 11r. Ging and hiss 1:1,4 !.1119 and slid so tt a dinner given by the mutual friend. After the dinner Isabel returned to a(,r home with a red spot 111 each :peek and a spark in each (eye. "Well?" said Mrs. Haskins. "Oh, mother, he has no rnlnem- =ince of Ino whatever." "Then he is the man we supposed Mut to be?" "1Ie "And do you still desire to marry aim?" "Absolutely." "Did he seem pleased with you?" "1 think so." "Why is it not to his interest as much ns yours that you and he should tie t.ulrritan "Perhaps It Is." "Then why do you not tell him of your meeting ten years ago, giving him the reasons, if he does not already know them, W by he efion(d marry you?" "Because I loved him then. 1 love him now, and I wish him to marry me for love, not for any other reason whatever." The mother was obliged to be satis- fied with this statement, though curi- osity was sbarpened by her interest iu her daughter. In time Mr. King was invited to the Haskins' to dinner. Ile came and set lezbel's heart wildly throbbing by saying some deliciously sweet words to her. But when later he met her at a social function she saw him chatting with another girl, and, judging from his expression. he i was saying sweet words to her, caus- ing Isabel's heart to sink as rapidly es it had risen. & few days later lir. King called, making as an excuse the offering of his box at the opera. Either he was the same skillful lore maker he had been a decade before or he was much smitten with Miss llaskins. In his conduct were many of the indications of a sure affection. And so the affair went on. At one time he would be devoted to her; at another she would hear that h0 was browsing among the prettiest girls in the social swim, What most troubled her was that be was passing into that age where a bachelor's admiration is bestowed upon girls much younger than himself. However, as the weeks tlew by his devotion to Isabel grew more constant. 1Ie had appeared to purposely display attentions to young girls when she was present to observe them. This he i was gradually giving up. Indeed, the l affair between them had gone so far that his attentions to other girls ceased to trouble her. Flowers had begun to come from him to her, a sure sign that a proposal is about to be made. One evening when Piing followed a box of them he had sent he called, and when Isabel came down to meet him he put his arms about her, Massed her warmly and said: "My dear wife, it is time this play came to a climax." "Wife?" "Yes. I knew you the moment I saw you. Immediately after that wedding which was got up between us In a youthful frolic I went to a lawyer and asked him if it could be construed into a legal marriage. He replied that 11 we both Intended it as such it was wit11• in the law of wedlock. It was inter' tional with me. if it was the slang with you we were married ten years ago." "In my heart it surely was intens boner," "I resolved;' continued Ding, "that as soon as I had aceumnlated a sof' elency I would ask yon the gtie8tioa that would, if answered in the emrsu' ative, make us one.

"1 sup posed, however, that you did not recog- hize me." "I wished, to win yon." "And T wished just as much to will you."
