to solve the ravil of mysteri- ess that appeared to underlie interior and whioU he avident- to conceal. But I left the vil- d in other places, mingling

people. I forgot the village, d and the Gazette. Now, af-

abseuee. I found myself ersolthal again. In stead of

and quiet that reigned when great excitement prevail-

t was evident to the most cas- rver that something unusual Ipened. I followed the crowd Bridge and down by the river-

ere.

At KummbrsoUlial, as in many ofher-towns where local papers are Drlnted, everybody felt privileged to ridicnlo Ibe Gazette, and make general fan of its contents. “ The Gazette don’t amount to anything, aDyway," was remarked, by- critical thousands, but the friendly! postmaster used to remark that those who criticised the Gazette most severely were always first to call for i t and devoured its contents with the eagerness of a child.

But four o'clock, p. m., had come and no paper. The citizens hung around the post office until five, and un til the clock on the church tower tolled the sapper hour. No one had seen the editor or his son, and the citizens went home with a feeling of oppression and disappointment. Had any one even suggested that the non-appearance of the Gazette would have caused even a ruffle of excitement in Kummersolth al the day before, no ooo would have believed it. But, in fact, its non-appearance had caused an unrest never felt before. Never were the people so discontented as they were ou that Wednesday night, And why the paper had not come formed the subject discussed at every.fireside, and was the common theme for conversation at the village stores.

One thing cortain the Kummersol- thal Gazette was missed. No one thought of going down to see why it had not come. Of late years the editor and his family had appeared to shrink more and more from, society. They were considered exclusive and proud. A lively man with black whiskers, who evidently prided himsel f in knowing all the traditions o^ past years, informed me that the editor and his puny wife came there some twenty years before. He was thought at the time very eccentric, from the fact that lie wanted to find a certain point of laud whore the sun’s first beams struck in the moruing, and the last rays fell at night; in fact, it was where the young German’s cabin stood a century ago. That spot he wanted. He purchased it at a high price. There he erected a house, made part of it an office, put in type and press, and made the Gazette the exponent of Kummer- solthal industries.

But, the Gazette had failed to ap- pe ar.

Thursday came and someone passing the cottage noticed no sign of life, and tried the’ door but failed to ga in ad- miss ion.,

Matters were talkod over at the v.llage stores, and finally the beadle of the village, accompanied by a crowd of men and a dozen or more trembling womon, went over to the cottage.

The beadle torced his way into the house, while the peoplo waitod brea th lessly outside.

Five minutes passed, the beadle was seen to open the door and beckon Id his deputy ami the door was closed. The excitement now was in tense. That something unusual had transpired within the house was certain.

At length the door again opened, aud the beadle reappeared, his fa ce wearing a gaver expression than was ever seen there before.

“What is it beadle?” said half a scoro, in a terrific whisper.

The beadle waited until the questioners were all sileat and replied, “Our editor is dead!’'’

“His wife, where is she?” asked the multitude, when the shock of the announcement no longer held their r Iterance.

“Dead said the beadle.“And his son?”“Dead,” said the beadle, who se

lected six of the leading citizens, pulled them inside, at the same lime waving back th o crowd who would have rushed in.

It was at the momeut the beadle selected his jury that I approached the cottage. Being a com- \tive stranger in the place, and . mere were no railroads to the village, and it being located so deep in the vale th a t few had learned of its existence, a stranger received considerable atten-j lion, from the very fact of his being a strange, aud each was anxious to tell all he knew about the deceased.

An old lady told how, twenty years before, be was lively, onorgetic, aud was everywhere; his young wife was the light of every party; bnt of late years they had shrank from public gaze, aud his son took his place at news gathering. The paper had grown apparently in circulation every year since it had started. It was her opinion their property had made ’em proud.

Over two thousand papers were issued weekly. Most everybody read the Gazette, she guessed. She had taken it since it started, and was intending to run in that very day and settle. She had received a bill, stat- ting that she owed ten years subscription. bnt ’she had kind o' needed the money, and the bill didn’t amount to

- r»'

much to an editor with soj big a business. “No need of their having been so proud, it the did run a paper," wasthe uncharitable remark of a bystander. “The editor was miserly, too,” chimed in another one; ”ho| did h ;s

-own work, and almost always, of late, has refused to subscribe when a paper is handed: around. For my part I think editors should be more pubi c sp irit"

“Ho is probably worth $20,000, hived it up; $4,000 received annually for subscriptions. to say nothing of advertising;" figureiHhe village schoolmaster. “1 have taken! his paper fifteen years, and awhile ago he sent me a bill for $30. It.would have been public-spirited of him to send his paper free, I being a public servant His business was good so I have not hurried about the moner.”

"Probably murdered for his money,” volunteered Another. “Why, there isno end of money these editors make. Only a few days ago he seat me a bill to pay ten dollars I owed him, for five years subscription. Anxious to put fhe money in the bank, I suppose. As I needed it just then, I delayed.
