From my youth I took naturally to
the science of mathematics. Even as
a little child I "did my sunn" without
any conscions effort. Indcod, it was
my well-known "knack at liggerin' "
?j that induced Deacon Dudley, the su
pervisor, to bestow upon mo the much
coveted Cenfre school. It was the
largest in town, the hardest and the
best paid. I was only 18 at the time,
but family misfortunes, followed hy
the sickness and death of my father,
made the necessity- for employment
argent and imperative.
Heavily handicapped by youth and
inexperience, ray first term was a suc
cession of disappointments and dis
illusions.
Gradually, as I bocame acquainted
with my pupils and accustomed to my
duties, 1 acquired the faculty of ad
justing myself to my surroundings,
after whioh my work became much
easier an<?. more satisfactory. Term
after term passed, until I felt my po
sition to be assn red. For six years I
held it, ciphering annnally through
the higher algebra, to the wonder of
my pupils and the satisfaction of their
parents. Being a district school, there
' could be no real graduation, but grad
ually the day had taken upon itself
the dignity and importance of an an
nual celebration.
At first I had beeu one of its most
enthusiastic supporters,bolioving that
its coveted successes would not only
stimulate ambition aud reward indus
try, but would also tend toward the
establishment of a much-needed froo
high school. Yet I now realized, with
pain, that it bade fair to bo a culmina
tion of jealousy, unkind emulation aud
unnecessary extravagance.
The leader in every extravagant do
vice was, naturally enough, Muriel
Mason, only daughter of the riche* L
man in towu. Born to command, sho
held her own against all opposition,
until the subject of dross was
broached.
In her case the important gown was
to ba a dainty creation of white lace
and surah, therefore she decreed that
her classmates should likewise drape
themselves in white.
: "That Is hot fair," protested Laura
Haley, who delighted m gay fabrics
and vivid coloring. **I am sure I
don't want to accentuate my natural
ugliness."
"It wou't make any difference on
the stage,'* said Muriol, with careless
unkind ness.
After this experimental tilt, as no
further opposition was hazarded, the
white-dress rule .was supposed to bo
imperative. That evening Dolly
Kempton came to me, hor pretty face
clouded, her young arms loaded.
Poor Dolly; I divined her trouble
before she voiced it She was a deli
cate little creature, studious and re
fined, yet not oxactly popular among
her mates. Sho was poor,undisguised
ly aud undeniably so. She lived with
her widowed mother aud an aged
woman known as Amit Marty, a queer,
irresponsible old body, who with the
slightest possible claim had burdened
th?m for years. With pauperism
staring her iu the face she had tied for
shelter to Mrs. Kempton, who was her
self in straitened circumstances. The
connection between them was of the
slightest, and entailed neither legal
nor moral obligation; yet sho cared for
the poor soul kindly, so stretched her
meagre income that it covered tho bare
necessities of life for tho three-her
self, her daughter and their perennial
guest
Knowing the circumstances, I could
well understand what a perplexing
question graduating expenses must be
iu that pinched household; but I was
hardly prepared for the solution which
?Dolly's big bundle contained. Sho
.opened it, spreadiug bo fore my aston
ished eyes a garmeat quaintly beauti
ful in tint and texture, but grotesque
in figure and design. An ancient
dress of white silk tissue, gayly bro
caded with hugo garlands of pink
roses and green leaves. The fabric it
self was exquisitely fine and delicate,
the groundwork time-yellowed iuto
the softest ivory tint; but, alas, the
passing years had wrought no such re
fining change upon the overblown
roses and overgrown leaves running
riotously over the scant skirt and low
bodice of this impossible gown.
. "Dear Miss Deacon," said Dolly,
with a little nervous laugh that had
in it a hint of tears, "do yon think
any circumstance or combination of
circumstances could make it one's
duty to w??; that for a graduating
dress?"
I looked at her in astonishment
"Mother waut3 mo to wear it," sho
-went on, "and indoed I want to, after
a fashion; yet all tho same my soul ab
hors those aucieut roses. You see, it
was Aunt Marty's wedding gown, and
in her eyes as tine and valuable as
ever. Through all thc shirts and
changes of her most unhappy life she
bas clung to this solo relic of happier
days. I fancy thnt after her husband's
death his people made much of her
for a time. Her father was wealthy,
and there was always the chunco of
his relenting; but as one by ouo her
overtures were ignored and her let

She was nover strong or smart or ca
pable, and little by little everyone's
patience gave way, until oven our
home, with its many privations, seemed
a very haven of rest to her. This af
ternoon Mrs. Mason cnlled and talkod
of nothing but 'the necessary expenses
of tho coming occasion. ' She left poor

kDUATION DAY. >
:NE JEWETT.
"W+W w ww w
I for the last year. Poor old soul, she
would have a hard time with that
rough womau in that great barn full
of paupers. We have made ourselves
out perfect Vanderbilts to keep her
quiet; but today she would not be
pacified, and after nearly crying her
self sick wrote to the selectmen. Be
fore she sent the letter, however, she
thought of this dress. The idea of it
came as a sort of reprieve. If she
provided my graduating dress she
might veuture to stay a little longer.
If not, she is going at once. You see
why I would like to wear the dress,
and besides a few dollars saved is
really an object with us; still, those
dreadful roses-do you think I ever,
ever caa?"
The roses were dreadful. I almost
doubted Mrs. Kempton's skill in their
behalf, aud I pitied the ghi,shrinking
with all her heart from a mortifying
ordeal, but I knew there was only one
answer to her question.
"Yes, my dear," said I, "I think
you can and wilL It takes a deal ot
pluck to have a tooth out, you know,
but the sharp, relieving pain is far
easier to bear thau weeks of dull, wear
ing anguish. It is going to take real
grit to wear that flowered dress, but
the discomfort of au hour is not to be
compared to the remorse of a life
time."
"Jnst what mother told me," said
Dolly, bundliug up her unwelcomo
possession.
I did not see the dress again, bnt I
heard a deal aboutit before tho impor
tant day arrived. I wanted to explain
matters, but Dolly positively forbade
auything of the kind, aud so hor flow
ered gown was regarded by some as a
necessary concession to poverty, by
others as a sigu of open insubordina
tion agaiust the white-dress rule.
Graduation day dawned bright and
clear. The church was crowded. The
expected governor arrived in excellent
season, bringing with Lam a visiting
senator, and everything seemed har
monious with the exception ol one
rosy-looking dress among a half-do/en
white ones.
The exercises passed off with what
might be termed "great eelat." The
young ladies were graceful and win
ning, their parts well prepared,
their euunciation clear and distinct
The young gentlemen were less awk
ward than usual under such circum
stances. The pink dress was so mod
ernized that it could not be catted con
spicuous; still I saw the consciousness
of its vivid roses stamped on the
flushed cheeks of its wearer when she
stepped forward to read her essay.
It was a very unambitious effort,
simply a prose version of the story of
Evangeline. Yet I saw with surprise
that Senator Borden, a scholar as
well as politician, gave the short read
ing the most profound and murked at
tention.
After the exercises thcomiuout visi
tors held au iuformal receptiou, shak
ing hands with everyone, and good
naturedly giving their autographs to
di petitioners. Dolly, however, took
uo part in this bit of impromptu fes
tivity, but, anxious to divest herself
of her obnoxious iinery, hurried at
once from tho church.
When Ihe crowd had nearly dis
persed Senator Borden surprised me
by asking, with an expression of real
interest, lor the young lady in pink.
I told him her name and volunteered
the information that she had gone di
rectly home.
"I nm sorry, " said ho. "I wanted
to meet hor. Her face, hor voice, her
gestures,all seemed wonderfully fami
liar. I cannot place thc resemblance,
but it moved me strangely. Her
name tells me noth'ng, and yet her
face, her dress, som?, trick of voice or
manner, took me back liRlf a century.
Ah!" with a sudden start. "I have it
now; it was my sister she recalled.
She wore just BUCII a rosy gown the
last time I ever saw her. Poor Marty!
Pardon me, Miss Deacon, but do you
know anything of her family history?
The resemblance may be purely acci
dental, but it interests me. "
Something of his interest had com
municated itself to me with his volun
tary exclamation of "Poor Marty!"
the girl who wore just such a rosy
gown the last time he ever saw her.
"Mr. Borden," said I, eagerly,
"might it not have been the notice
able dress, instead of the girl's per
sonality, that impressed you? Foi ty
yea' 1 ago it belonged to Martha Paget;
was, m fact, her wedding gown. "
"Martha Paget!" cried he, "that
was my sister's name. She was older
than I, and very beautiful, but she
disobeyed my father. He never for
gave her, and M-hile he lived I never
beard her name mentioned. Since his
death I have searched for her long and
unavailingly."
"I think your search is ended,"
said I, "and that you will find her
living with Mrs. Kempton in this vil
lage."
"Is it far from here? Would you
show mo the way?" questioned he,
eagerly; and the next moment we were
hurrying down the broad elm-shaded
street.
As we neared the Kempton cottage
? saw Mrs. Paget sitting on the tiny,
vine-wreathed piazza. Her soft, whit?
hair shone in the sunlight; her pain
distorted hands lay idly on her lap;
her cotton gown and stittly-starchod
apron were clean and speckless; but
hor face, sorrow-sesmed and time-do
faced, bore no trace of bloom or
beauty.
"Aud yet," said my companion,
seeming to divine my thoughts, "it is
Marty herself; the very imoge of our
mother np I saw her lash'' He went
Bwiftly np the little graveled path, his
face growing visibly paler as he
walked.
Just in front of her he stopped, and
for a moment's spa^e no word pnsscd
between them. Then tho woman
arose, her worn face working, hor
faded eyes brightening, her hands ap
pealingly exteuded.
"father," she criod, "father, for
give me!"
' "Father died years ago," answered
Senator Borden, gently, "and ever
since I have been searching for yon,
my sister!"
"Bennie! Bennie!" she screamed,
flinging herself toward him. Tho
scene that followed was too f acred for
stranger eyes to look upon, and so I
quietly withdrew, guiug hack to my
delayed duties.
That afternoon I was "a personage"
in the village. Over and over again
I told the story.fairly revelling in tho
first bit of romance that hnd ever
stirred the monotony of my quiet life.
Of course there were a few ill
natured souls who declared that Mrs.
Kempton had known nil along which
side her bread was buttered on, but
as this idea seemed to be confined ex
clusively to those who had beforetimos
pronounced her quixotic and improvi
dent, and it did not greasy affect pub
lie sentiment.
Senator Bordon made immediate
arrangements to remove his sister to
his own home. But she, poor soul, in
abject fear of her august sister-in-law,
clung to the dear second cousin Avho
had so brightened the years of hor ad
versity.
A compromiso was at last effected,
Mrs. Kempton selling her little homo
and removing to Anderson, where Mr.
Borden lived, and where tho famous
Anderson seminary was located. To
attend this school had long beon
Dolly's highest ambition-au ambition
which a grateful brother's liberality
made it perfectly possible to gratify.
In a few days the little ripple of ex
citement that attended their departure
died away, leaving in its placo only a
memory.
I missed Dolly sadly, fooling sure
that the duties aud pleasures of her
new life would soon blot out all inter
est iu her older and less favored
friends.
I realized my mistake when, weeks
afterward, I received a letter from
her which wrought in my lifo a de
lightful chanr .
"One of i.... teachers," sho wrote,
"has resigned, and Senator Bordon
has secured tho position for yon. Ho
knows how you helped and encour
aged mo through the piuk-dress or
deal,, and he is very glad of this op
portunity to show his appreciation of
your good sense and kindness. "
A day or two later this delightful
news was officially confirmed, and I at
once set about my modest preparations
for departure. Just before I left I
called upon old Deacon Dudley and
found him not only sympathetic but
fairly jubilant over my improved pros
pects.
"I gave you your first chance," said
ho, "and 1 presume to say I helped
you to your second one. I talked
quite a spell with the senator when he
was here, and I gave yon a first-class
'recommend.' 'She is young,' said I,
'and no great things to look nt, but
she is a master hand at figgcrin'.' "
I thanked the old gentleman for his
doubtful complimeut with becoming
gratitude. Not for tho world would
1 havo pained his kindly heart by the
knowledge that anything so frivolous
as a pink frock had far moro to do
with my good fortuno thau his uuiijuo

This remarkable valley was discov
ered in 1830 by a party of immigrants, J
many of whom lost their lives in the
attempt to cross lt. Thc name has
clung lo it, also, as being tile scene of
numberless tragedies. Early in its
history traditions of gold and silver
deposits of wonderful richness within
its boundaries persuaded many adven
turous persons to undertake the haz
ardous experiment of its exploration.
The number who have lost their lives
in this desolate field is undoubtedly
great. Pursuiug the mirage of rich de- .
posits of precious metals these adven
turous prospectors succumbed at last
to the intolerable heat and the agonies
of thirst

plant that flourishes under the most
arid conditions, herc barely survives,
while the mesquite, with its long roots
penetrating deep into the earth in
search of scanty moisture, just man
ages to exist.
A party of enterprising agricultur
ists once experimented with growing
fruit and vegetables in this region, an
ticipating large profits in the carly
marketing of their crops. The attempt
was a complete failure, the Intent

of their ?moistui'c, so thnt by the time
they reach thc valley all humidity has
disappeared, and no living thing can
survive the intense heat. Even birds,
indigenous to the regiou, die.
It is in the months of greatest heat
that the sand storms of Deatli Valley
are most deadly. Then rage with in

without water means death. Meat be
comes putrid in nu hour. Eggs are
cooked in the blistering sand. Water
is only palatable by meats of large po

hot countries, suspended in drafts and
reduced in temperature by means of
the rapid evaporation of the moisture
from the outside.

The belief that the boras marshes
are the remains of the vast lake which
once filled the valley is supported by
traces of water-line found GOO feet
