ordered scene with q strange, unreal
sensation. She rose slowly to sitting
position, and saw Redmond lying still
as death on the dewy greensward. The
flames leaped and roared, and the harm
less silvery moonlight paled before their
lurid, wrathful CLEAN.
How did l come here ?" asked
Louise, in dazed, bewildered manner.
You have been carried out of this
burning building, unconscious, said a
gentleman standing near. "That per-
son, pointing to Redmond; "saved you
both. He has not spoken since"
Redmond Clarke /" she said, half
dreamily. He was not here last night.
He went to Ashland to escape the food, +"
and again sank back unconscious.
The three were carried to the same
house, and in few days the girls re-
covered their usual health Redmond's
recovery was slower. He had not
robust health, and the anxiety and extra
exertion of that terrible night, coupled
with cold taken while lying on the
damp grass threw him into fever, from
which he recovered slowly. The two
girls attended him with thankfulness for
the privilege to shUw their gratitude for
the service he had rendered.
Blanche magnanimously refrained
from reminding Louise of the thoughts
to which she had given expression on
that memorable day. There was no need.
Louise remembered with sharp regret
for the injustice. In Redmond's eye
she seemed to have developed into a
new character; she was so gentle, so
womanlY. The elixir of life seemed to
emanatSfrom her presence. The under
current of her thoughts ran thus: "Can
L ever admire enough his noble cour-
age?" She wondered how he came there
on that night. He had not returned
when she retired at late hour, but the
matter had not been mentioned between
them. In his weak state the physician
forbade the least excitement.
One day she stood looking at him as
he seemed to slumber on low lounge,
to which he had been removed from mis-
bed. 81 never thought he would prove

looking into her flushed face and un-
steady eyes calmly, steadily. "Will you
sit a moment beside me?"
She obeyed the request. The inher-
ent power of his nature was rising
the surface, and a stronger individua
than her own was making itself
above mere physical weakness.
"Will you say that you love me,
LouiseP"
The question was low, steady and
firm. The answer came lower, and with
a slight culver in the tone-"I love
you"
''I am not exacting a debt of graft
tude. Do you love me of your own
sweet will ?"
She looked at him. A new atmosphere
seemed to surround him. He was not
to her the Redmond Clarke of old.
She reached her other hand for him to
clasp. 81 don't love you through graft
tude. If you had saved the life of my
greatest enemy 1 should have admired
and loved you as well. "
She was noble in her surrender, as
she had been conscious in her doubts.

her hand in his he glided into a gentle
slumber.

"Ah, Redmond. we can truly say with
Hamlet, that
There are more things in heaven and earth,
Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy

gladdened by the turn of affairs. "I
suppose we shall have to call that the

anyhow ?"
''Half fiction, half truth, like hun

tender, happy smile.

been perpetrated within the walls of the

Part of the people at the table looked
serious; part were amused. Among the
latter was Redmond. His eyes twinkled
with suppressed amusement, but he
concealed it. Blanche and Louise had
been interested listeners to the narrative,
growing somewhat dignifed by the dis
cussion at the dinner-table.

Who Should Como to Oregon
and Washington.

Much has been said as we'll as writ
ten, and many opinions exE ressed on
this question, but We feel the subject is
SO important as to call for additional
suggestions regarding it. All in the
following in regard to Oregon, applies
with equal force to this Territory.
The first requisite to person pro-
posing to emigrate to a new country,
with view to improving his condition
in life. is good health. Although the
climate of Oregon is SO favorable as to
insure exemption from diseases prevail
ing in other States and promises relief
in certain bodily troubles, the chances
are that immigration will prove mistake
in the case of confirmed invalids COM
PEELED to work for a living. For no.
where mote than in o strange land
among strangers. is there a need of the
bouyancy of spirits enabling one to
bear up under disappointment and
hsrdship's which as rule, belongs only
to q sound body.
Elderly persons and persons beyond
the active years of life, and without
that adaptability to circumstances be-
long to them, will also run considerable
risk in emigr sting. unless possessed of
means. To such, old communities usu-
ally afford better opportunities for self
support than new ones. whore the strue-
gle for success in life calls fer moro on
ergy than pertains to middle age. Sim
gle men are obviously much safer in
taking their chances than persons who
have to provide for others. Heads of
families. especially. even if strong in
body and not too advanced in life,
should carefully weigh the possible con.
sequences of emigration. both to them
selves and to those whose future will be
fashioned by their own.
No one should think of emigrating to
Oregon without sufficient means for
self support for at least short time af-
ter reaching here, for suitable employ
ment Immediately after arrival caunot
always be relied upon, and there is
nothing more discouraging to the new
conner than to become the subject of
public or private charity. This eau
ton applies particularly to heads of
families. who would be cruelty derelict
in their duty to expose those depending
on them to them to the risk of destitu
ton on arrival.

How's Your Liver i?

If the skin be yellow and muddy,
the bowels constipated; if you have
ringing in your ears, dull pains in
the side, sick headache, sour stom
ache, hot or dry skin, spots before
the eyes, bad taste in the mouth,
cold feet and hands, sleepiness, gid
mess, loss of appetite, bad circula-
ton of the blood, swelled limbs, &c.
you may safely conclude that your
liver is out of order. The liver is
more apt to become disordered than
any other organ of the body, as its
duty is TO filter the impurities from
the blood. When it becomes weak,
obstructed and diseased it must fail
to do its duty. and the whole body
suffers. Try Whites Prairie Flow

What Girls Cannot Study.

The New York Times philosopher points out
several of the regular college studies which
girls cannot pursue:
The sophomore year in most of our colleges
is devoted to base ball. Will President Bas-
com have the temerity to assert that this is a
sedentary pursuit, or that it is one in which it
is possible for girls to excel? We all know
that nature has so constructed the girl that she
cannot throw a ball with any force or accuracy.
1t the most accomplished of President Bas-
CONS young ladies were to attempt to pitch
base ball, the chances are that instead of
coming within reach of the batsman, it would
describe parabolc curve and smash the pres
students strike or catch a ball when thrown
with the proper degree of force. In short, base
ball is study in which it is morally impossible
that girls should ever successfully compete with
men: The same may be said of foot ball,
which, in some colleges is an optional study,
which these who do not fancy base ball are per-
mitted to substitute for the latter. 1t is barely
possible, Judging from the remarks which Chi
cago and st. Louis newspapers constantly make
in regard to the feet of the ladies of those cities
that Western girls are better adapted for foot
ball than are the girls this side of the Allie
ghanies, but it may be safely asserted that no
girl can graduate iu foot ball, especially in col
leges where the Rugby method is studied, with
any honor, or indeed, with any standing in her
class. By far the most important study pursued
at any American college is that of rowing.
From this study girls are virtually debarred
simply by reason of their sex. Man is SO con-
stituted that he can reduce his clothing to a
close-ftting under-shirt and a pair of attenuated
trousers, which add scarcely anything to his
weight in six cared she'll 1t is asserted by
all scientific authorities that girls are incased
in many successive layers of clothing which
are believed to be permanently affixed to them,
and the aggregate weight of these is enormous.
This would alone render girls unfit to pursue
the fascinating and improving study of rowing,
but there are other obstacles equally impossi
BILE to overcome. Girls cannot run to any ex.
tent worth mentioning; and are hence unable
to run along the shore while boat-race is in
progress, yelling encouragement to the oars

prepared to bet on their favorite crews,
