The man had barely passed his majority, and the years of the girl numbered less than his by three. The man was going- hundreds of miles to the westward, there to find a competence. When he had succeeded the girl was to come to him for the rest of the happy years. In his hands were two sprigs of rosemary, one of which he gave to the maid. ''it's for remembrance, Betty. Not that we will either of us need it, dear, but I shall carry it with me wherever I go." "You know you'll always be in my thoughts, Tom. I'll put it under my pillow at night that I may droara of you and wear it next my heart in waking hours that every beat may be for you. Good by, Tom, and God bless you and send you nw* irul 4-Ko irl tnTnwl laj urc. auu buv her lips upward for her lover's kisB. "Good by, Betty. It won't bs for long, and then we will be together for the rest of our livee." And he gave her one last caress before be tnrned and started down the graveled path bound 00 the outtrafl. Betty had been motherless since her sixth year, and at the cloee of a winter's day tho soul of her father left ita gaunt frame, and she was alone. Tom wrote a letter full of tender consolation, and it was on the absent sweetheart she leaned during the days and nights of her affliction. Betty's father had been frugal and shrewd, and there was enough to provide for the remainder of her days. She had no relatives in the home of her father, and when legal matters were finally adjusted she left for a big western city to live with an aunt while she was waiting for Tom. It was then the first blowfell. >T /% 1/v^a* nnm A IrAm C *1U ItniCl LQUi^; X1V1U iivi WW vwv heart in the far west. At first she did not worn% for he had written that he was going on a long prospecting trip and might be weeks, even months, from civilization. But when spring came and in turn gave way to summer and summer fled before tlve chilling blasts of autumn and the weeks dragged drearily by until a year had passed Betty abandoned hope. She wrote to the authorities of the frontier town where he usually outfitted, but they could tell her nothing. Tom had left in April. He had not returned. They knew nothing of his fate. In the passing of the years her grief was softened, hut the agony of her loss was there, locked with her love in the innermost recesses of her heart. Suitors came, but were sent away, not hurt, but firmly, gently denied. Her cousins married, little ones came to bless them, and to all she was Aunt Bettv. There was another Betty now, a pretty, graceful maid of seventeen, joying in her first glimpses of social life and rapturously happy because she was just living. They were great cronies, these two Bettys, and it was often remarked that their resemblance extended away and beyond the name. "Aunt Betty, why didn't you mar rv?" asked the little Betty one afternoon when the two were having a long, confidential chat. Then faded old letters were brought out and read, the dimmed tintype of a country bov with a fine featured face was cried over and the withered sprig of rosemary lifted gently from the jewel case, where it had reposed so many years in state. "And the rosemary, auntie queried little Betty. "Rosemary is for remembrance, dearie. We each had a sprig and were to keep it always, so that whenever we 9aw it the other's face would appear in our dreams," said auntie. "And do you dream of him yet?" pursued the younger. "Bless you, Betty, I'll always dream of him, and I pray now that after death here I may see him." "And so that's the reason you didn't let Dr. Thornton and the others marry you when they asked ?" "Betty, how did you know?" "Oh, I heard mamma talking about it! But I won't tell, auntie," she promised penitently. "But it's lovely, Aunt Betty. It's perfectly splendid to love so long and so hard when you know he's dead. Would he care, do you think, if you married some one else?" "lie knew I never would," and the older Betty sighed. , After that the little Betty had to o go awaj to sehool. She was gent to | a distant city to be taught all raan: ner of things embraced in that vrord i "finished/' To her romantic soul came many I experiences, many temptations to j surrender to what she thought was love, but always she measured the depths of her emotions by Aunt Hetty's loyalty of a score*?>f years. "Would I love him like that?" | she would ask of herself, and all ways the suitoY failed in the test. One afternoon she went to a mutii nee at a downtown theater. As she was leaving the playhouse she was j confronted by a stalwart man whose ; agitation was greater than her own. "Betty Randall!" he all but shouted in his excitement. "Auntie!" gasped Betty. "Are you Betty Randall ?" queried the stranger. "Of course not. You're just a child, and Betty would have been more than twice your age if she were alive," and he -i?-'-- i Ka. j iljJ'Mojiiii'u iui ma luuruusj ao uc j turned to go. It flashed over Betty in an instant. Could it be true? She decided to risk it. ''Tom!" she called softly. The man wheeled at the word and stood staring at the girl. "Are you Total Wilson?" she asked. "And did you leave over twenty years ago to go out weet, and"? she continued. "Yes, yes! Why?how?who are you?" he demanded. "Betty Randall is my aunt," said Betty, "and she has your sprig of rosemary." "Here's mine!" he cried, and he plunged into his pocket and brought forth a worn wallet. That night Mr. Wilson had a long talk with Betty at the school. She arranged to go home the next raarninc. and Tom was to follow the day o; after. He explained bow he had been sick for a year from eiposure while lost in the mountains, how he wrote to the old address, but got no reply. He had gone back to the New Hampshire town, but no one could give him Betty's address. So, with fortune beyond his boyhood dreams, he had rambled up and down the world, hoping, hunting and miserable. "Aunt Betty," said little Betty % two days later, "suppose Tom is alive. Suppose he didn't die, but couldn't find out where you were. Wouldn't that be fine?" And her eyes danced with what the elder took to be girlish enthusiasm for a romance so near to her. There was a knock at the door, and a maid entered with a card tray. "There's a gentleman downstairs to see you, Miss Randall. He nwililn'f <rivo mo liis pard. but said . V ...? , you'd understand by this." And she held out the tray so that there was disclosed thereon a sprig of rosemary. <rBettv, it's true! He's alive! It's Tom!" And the speed with which she descended played havoc with orthodox ideas of dignity. She fell rather than ran into the sitting room, there to be clasped in two arms, while a man's voice came softly to her: "At last! Thank God, at last!" Boys and Business. "We are a business race, we Americans," says a writer in the Woman's Home Companion. "Xine tenths of our boys are destined for business, and the other tenth, who enter professions, need a knowledge of how business is transacted even more. Parents who covet a clean eiit. successful business career for their boy can do him a tremendous service by laying the foundation of that career while they have him still in their own hands. It was Cardinal Xewman who said, 'Give me a child until he is seven years old, and I care not who has him afterward.' And psychologists are proving to us more conclusively every day that the years we once considered wasti > 1: 1 ea, irom au cuutauuaai Yicnjjuiui, .are the years in which most of our habits, including business habits, have their root." Four Kindt of Liars. The late Sir Frederick Bramwoll was famous both as a witness and arbitrator in engineering disputes. It is recalled that his brother, the late Lord Justice Bramwell, on giving advice to a young barrister told him to be careful of four kinds of witnesses?first, of the liar; second, of the liar who could only be adequately described by the aid of a powerful adjective; third, of the expert witness, and, finally, of "my brother Fred." i Squarely Caught. "What a pretty hat Mrs. Pinkey wore this evening." "Did you like it, dear?" "Yes; it was verv becoming. Why don't you get hats like that ?" "You mustn't blame me if I laugh, John. The hat you like is my hat. Mrs. Pinkey borrowed it this evening. It's the thirty dollar hat you called a fright."?Cleve| land Plain Dealer. .
