'Cumberland and Cameron before Grand Lodge meets. On Friday evening Wheeling Union Chapter No. 1 held special meeting, w’.th a large gathering of zealous companions present. A good team of fellows was found to be ready, and in due time were marked and started on their journey for the summit of their ambition, being i passed onward, and forward as those specially selected to become royal and mast excellent masters, and in the course of time, were found fitted to be i arched. Tlio work throughout was well and impressively done, and apparently enjoyed by the many companions pres ent. as well os by the candidates them selves. It was fully expected to have had two 'earns on the occasion, hut the other brethren were prevented from be ing present by unforeseen engagements made before the sppeial was called. No regular meeting will take place In the Temple the coining wok, and should specials be held notices personal will bo isr.ucik The American Tyler bad ‘lie following in its last issue. “Washington lacked thrre months of being twenty-one when he was initiated into Fre^ Masonry, and asked if the fraternity violated the prin ciples of the fraternity and ancient land marks by doing so? All true loyal Masons and ci'izens of cur free laud of Ann idea will unite with me in saying, No. If we could but have many more, aye, thousands of like character like j hirn, our country would be more like It j whs when our forefathers obtained it by I tbf ir blood, and we would be saf< r from ! ‘be socialisms and anarchisms which have been brought lnro it from the old world, for as a Mi3icr Mason he was nn exompllar whose precepts and practice it should he our aim to cherish and imi tate. , ne following beautiful sentiment was uttered recrnlly by Past Grand Master Howland, of Massachusetts: “Masonry which baa withstood earth’s changes, the shock of nations and re vohumns of the ag s. and the hatred of misguided and misinformed men, will stand if we are true; sceptres pass awav, thrones crumble, kingdoms fall, but the Masonic fabric will s:and if we be true. Unchanged and unchangeable, Masonry will exist unto the end of the age; if i we lire up to our high privileges and ex emplify without the lodge what we are taught within it.” The srnfimonmj above expressed .are rich food for the I minds of the Mason and provides also serious reflection for his soul, as well as refreshing wine to encourage manly ac tion i>y the brethren of the greatest fra frrnity on earth. During die pgst we k very many were the members of the Masonic, 'fraternity of our State who were in attendance at ’he State ennven Mon hpld in our city, but, owing to the attention to the duties, they were on hand to perform, only one, Past Grand i iM .

But for you where would her brother have been? Iu the State pris on.” ' "Nev r dare to speak to me of that again.” he exclaimed angrily. And, do not by any chance in 1. S* * will never forgive you if you do. Do not feel badly”—she was weeping. "I appreciate that your alarm for me is fron^ the best cf motives; but the best of motives, Kate, often do the greatest harm. Come, sister, we will talk of something else.” “I am nervous tonight, Kate. Mother often speaks of feeling that something is going to happen. I understand the i sensatlomnow. 1 dread something 1 do not know what.” They walked on in silence a short dis tance. ‘What Is the matter. Kate? Why do you look back So often? What makes you so uneasy? Have I made you ner vous with my presence?” John spoke regretfully. “Did you nolice that woman. John?” “No; what woman?” Ho turned and tlir w the light of the lantern In the direction Kaio was look ing. A woman wus coming toward thorn. As she dn?w near they saw teat she was reeling—that she was v*rv ill, or, .worse, badly intoxicated.

But when they etopp* d she drew Into shadow. They resumed their way, fear ing to be intrusive, t-’he continued to follow them. Kate gr w very much al armed, and they often paused ;n their walk to let her pass, but wh< n they waited she also waited, and when tiiov walked on again she followed; if the distance between them giew too near she drew into shadow, until it was in creased. And the rooking and reeling became so intemperate when -he t* sumed her chase it was a marvel she bent her f-Ct. Manlike, John lost his temper nnu forbade* Kate looking back. They hur ried on and only for the rustle of her garments they would have thought she had given up the chase. John whispei ed to Kate that they would return home by another and more circuitous route. And they turned at the next cormr. But In a few seconds she appeared and continued her mad dance after them as before. , , . . . . Kate urged John on. advising him not to notice the woman aa long as she kept to h l self and did not molest them. I P this street and down that they hurried, and on came this strange pursurer, neither gaining or losing her distance fci hind them. It was growing wierd amt poor Kale was h set by her womanly f-;1ra. That it was an assassin intending John bodily harm was steadily gaining on her convictions. They found the dear mother at the door when they it ached home. SU held a lighted lamp in her band and was looking anxiously up the street for them. Once inside the gatechey closed it and fastened it. <. this time the woman had reached too front of the house. She hesitated, and Pitied to waver, then continued on her way. rocking and reeling frantically. Kate gave her mother a hurried ac count of their adventure. Mrs. Oakley held the lamp .so that the rays of l.gh f U on the retreating woman. iM»e look ed sharply at her. . , ••Why, John, It is Sally!” she cried. “It is one of her pranks.
