trifiing with his heart. Now he knew
that she was incapable of doing that.
She was a woman with true woman's
soul, and he blamed himself for his in
justice to her.
He went to the bed and bent over the
dying woman.
''Pray," she whispered. He saw that
she was very near the open future, and
knelt down to obey her last request.
Alice Graeme knelt beside him, while
the boy clung to his mothers wasted
hand, weeping bitterly.
1t was a tender, simple, earnest
prayer that went heavenward in that lit
tie room, and it bore on its wings the
soul of the weary pilgrim who had
longed for rest, for when prayer was
done and they rose up the woman was
dead.
''She will keep her Christmas in
Heaven" John Trevor said softly.
When, shortly after, two or three
women came in to care for the dead
body, Alice prepared to 60 Trevor
waited for her at the door. When she
came out, he drew her hand within his
arm, and silently, thoughtfully, they
went down the white street. The storm
had ended, and the town was transfg
ured in the moonlight. Everything was
pure; it seemed like a new world.
But little was said between them, but
both were full of busy thoughts. He
was thinking of what life might be, if he
could have the woman at his side to walk
with him forever. And she was think
ing how glad she would be to walk by
his side for evermore.
They reached her home. He went up
the steps with her. and left her at the
door, with wild yearning to fold her to
his heart and tell her that he loved her
and that neither wealth nor pride should
keep them apart. But he still held
back.
He went down the path, he had al
most reached the gate. Suddenly he
stopped and looked behind him.
In the moonlight he saw her still
standing at the door, gazing after him.
Before he realized what he was doing
he was at her side again.
"Alice, my darling" he was crying,
ST love you. 1 want you for my wife,
Can you-can you care for me?"
"Oh, john" she cried, putting both
her hands in his, while her face was
sweet with that beauty which woman's |
face never wears until she listens to her |
lovers story, ST have loved you long,
long time. And you have been so
blind" And she fell upon his breast.
"My heart called you mine" he whis-
pered, pressing her to him; "but I dared |
not speak out before the world-dared |
not be called fortune hunter-dared |
not do what my heart longed to do"
"The king may claim his own" she
said softly, lifting her eyes, full of tender
light, to his for one brief mqnaPnt. "a

And he held her to his breast, and
issed the beautiful face in the rapture

How MilIiOnaires are Made.

"Who is the wealthiest man in Cali
fornia?" asked a reporter of an old
Californian.
"Jim Flood, worth 800, 900; he is
a liberal man and a shrewd one. He
has built up on San Francisco Bay a
new port called Costa City, with mag
n1hcent store-houses and piers from
which the wood of those rich counties
is shipped direct to Europe and the
world. O'Brien, Floods partner, is
dead and his fortune distributed.
Mackey, one of the bonanza crowd, is
thought to be worth 100000, 900, and
Jim Fair is worth perhaps $40, 10000
Said I: Chow in the world did Flood
and O'Brien make such fortunes %
''Just in this way, my FRIEND" said
Mr.. Hyneman, taking up a piece of
paper and pencil, "Flood and O'Brien
kept a saloon, and the drinks were 25
cents apiece. Fair and Mackey were
miners VINO for some years did not strike
anything very rich. So they gave min
ing stock for the drinks instead OF
money. The habit was to walk into the
saloon with three or four friends, ask for
the drinks and drink them, repeat and
say to the barkeeper, This is mine,
and walk out. The barkeeper made
four marks with a pencil and fifth
mark across them, signifying $1.25 for
each round. These rounds would go up
to a pretty high figure, but on certain
occasion Mackey or Fair would say,
We'll, Flood, we want to make settle

their mining stock at certain valuation

O'Brien put into the safe. Behold !
On a certain day metal is struck in pro-
digious quantities in the mines that Fair

O'Brien open the safe and count the

of his customers yesterday, and afterpay-

''Well, this kind of weather means
cheap ice for next summer, doesn't it %

the ice man.
