Philip"
Providence was merciful, indeed !"
murmured Sir Cuthbert, covering his
face with his hands, in the attitude of
prayer.
Madam, will you be kind enough to
inform me in whose house ] am z"
Certainly, sir. You are in my
house. and am the Widow Somerton.
Impossible! What, the wife of my
dear friend and college chum, VIM.
Somerton, deceased?'
THE same, Sir Cuthbert. And now,
l presume, the secret between our two
families may be revealed to our chill
dren."
"Stay, madam think there is really
no need of divulging it. unless you par
ticularly desire it.
"Oh, no, no; L assure you, sir, that l
was not consulting my own wish in the
matter at all, but merely what l sup
posed to be irrevocable.
Madame, the bargain was, you I'M
derstood no doubt, that our children,
my son then years, and your daughter
of nearly year old, should be united
when they became of suitable age.
A strange within certainly"
IF you say that it is unnecessary to
refer to this disagreeable compromise,
to them, SIR Cuthbert, shall be very
glad, as my greatest worry since my
husbands death has been of this heavy
debt which he owed to you being un-
paid"
MY dear madam, it is to be consid-
cred cancelled, now, forever. What
q blessing it is, that everything oc-
Cured just as we had planned, with
out our dictation, and that the wedding
is to take place, so soon.
One month from that day happy
party assembled i'll the widows parlor,
to witness the nuptials of lovely and
sparkling Maud Somerton. The par
ents beheld with pride their stalwart
son, and beautiful, blushing daughter,
while Sir Cuthbert praised the Lord in
his heart.
40, Philip, dear, L am so happy"
Maud murmured, after she had receiv-
ed the blessings of her mother and
fatherin-law, "Have you ever forgiven
me for stealing that curl?"
Hush, my darling l had nothing
to forgive. Thank our Creator, for it
saved my life.

CHAPTER w.
Is HE DEADI

Sir Cuthbert Ainsley had worked
himself into a great passion. His face
had turned purple, his hands clinched
and unclinched spasmodically. To say
the least, his anger had overcome his
usually solid judgment.
The housekeeper, happening to APP
pear in his presence upon some trivial
errand, ran back in alarm to report to
the servants that master was about to
have a stroke of apoplexy.
Having no one near upon whom to
vent his wrath, he gradually succumbed
to the voice of reason, and resolved to
start Immediately for America, to cas-
ually ascertain something of the fami-
ly and antecedents of this girl whom
his son was foolish enough to rave
about.
Thus it occurred that at the time his
letter reached Philip it was but one
day in advance of him.
He lost no time in inquiring the way
to Arthur Wyman Cousins
where ne expected to find Philip; and
| his heart beat with a sickening sensa-
ton as he thought of the hard feeling
which now existed between himself and
his only child.
"You say that my son has gone hunt
in that thicket? / believe / will shout
der rifle, if you have one convenient,
and start out in quest of him, he said,
as he replaced his hat, with his finger
indicating a thickly underbrushed
wood, extending on the left hand as far
as the eye could discern.
He saw nothing of game kind for
some time, and was just about making
up his mind to abandon all thought oil
hunting, when stray deer came flying
wildly toward him in the distance, and
ere it was scarcely within range of his
rifle he fired.
"Great God !" he exclaimed, Mortified,
as an agonized cry rang out, and echoed
through the wood.
He ran hastily forward, several times
tripping and near falling over far.
spreading roots of trees, and shrubs,
and sinking down upon his knees 10y
! the fallen man, endeavored to turn his
face to the light.
One loud, heart-rending cry, and two,
instead of one senseless forms lay under
the heavens pitying gaze.
And thus they found them, and gen.
fly and slowly bore the two CHASTITY
forms to the cottage, it being the near
er place of shelter.
as he dead? Oh, God, have killed
him; my son, my Philip" were the
first words, in a frenzied tone, uttered
by the half demented man, as he re.
gained consciousness.
"Your son is alive and uninjured, Mr.
Ainsley," came the gentle voice of Mrs
| Somertsn.

Cholera and CONSUMPTION.

The point is made that if cholera
were as common as consumption it
would attract as little notice. It's rare
appearance and myster Gus work cause
people to regard it with fear. Con-
sumption is more destructive than chol-
era, and is always with us, killing an
nually its tens and perhaps hundreds
of thousands. Epidemics do not greatly
raise the rate of mortality. About the
same number of people die every year,
and during an epidemic there is gener-
ally decrease in the deaths from ordi-
nary diseases. Constitution.

CHAPTER II.
PHILIP AINSLEY.

Close on the outskirts of q beautiful
village near Lancashire, surrounded by
grounds of such magnificence that envy
stood constantly enthroned outside the
gates was the superior domain of Sir
Cuthbert Ainsley.
1t was named Cherrivale Manor by
it's romantic master. Balls, and lawn
parties were frequently given, attended
by the elite round about.
Mrs. Ainsley was gentlewoman prior
to her marriage, but filled her exalted
position as Lady Ainsley with charming
grace and dignity.
One child was born to them-a boy
whom they called Philip.
This Philip was destined to fulfill his
parents most sanguine hopes, and was
petted and INDUCED as only fond and
wealthy parents are capable of doing.
Not a wish was expressed by him in
their presence, but was as quickly graf
flied as possible.
He had never been absent from home
for longer period of time than day
or two until now that he had reached
his majority, he resolved upon q trip
across the turbulent, mighty ocean, to
visit a near relative, on his fathers side,
in the farfamed, and to him, unex-
plored America.
The anticipated voyage was filled
with novelty, and not ripple was
visible to disturb the smooth current
of this vast expanse of waters, viewed
as it was through his silver spectacles.
as in his minds eye he saw himself
landed on the far-off shore.
"Good-by, my son" the father said,
tear lurking in the corner of either
eye. "Good-by, and may God bless
and guard you until you return to us
again. Do not remain away longer
than you have proposed to do, as 1
have something of Importance to COM
municate to you concerning yourself,
upon your arrival back. 1 do not wish
to mar your pleasure-trip by informing
you now"
And the old gray-haired parent gave
his sons hand an affectionate pressure
to cheer him on his way.
The leave-taking between his mother
and himself was, perhaps, a degree
more tender and prolonged, as she
chung to her boy, apprehensive of some
accident Detailing him from the change
full, treacheroQs ocean.

nudge, assuming panied voice and
tragic air. "But really, dears, this is
charmed spot to me. felt fascinat'
ed, somehow, the moment drew near
to this log for the purpose of botanic
ing. What O lucky find some one must
have lost him" she continued mischiev.
ously. Don't you think so girls? For
sixpence L would clip one of those
crisp curls to aid his owner in finding
him, and also to give you fair chance
of remembering him by sharing the
curl with you. We will not quarrel
over it, / think"
Maud Somertonl You would not
dare!" exclaimed her sister, greatly
shocked. Mama, I'm sure, would grieve
to hear you talk SO imprudent. Oh, do
let us leave this spot before he becomes
aware of our presence here" Rosalys
said, anxiously.
"Yes," assented Madge, preparing to
start. Il never should have confidence
TO look him straight in the face if we
ever meet him again, if he now caught
us peeping at him."
well, heigho! I'm going to win a
wager with myself before L leave, said
Maud, persistently.
What will you give me, girls, for
your share of the curl? / have my
embroidery scissors with mel" she said,
flourishing the shining weapon above
her head.
She stole around the end of the log,
where she poised herself upon the toe
of one tiny slippered foot, executed a
charming little pirouette, to the utter
horror and apprehension of her Miss
Propriety sisters.
She then cautiously advanced toward
the sleeper, cogitating the while in her
own mind if he should awaken and dis
cover her, and her unlady-like inten-
ton, what in the world she should do.
She must die of shame, certainly, or pray
her, certainly, what else. And yet, the
love of mischief was so predominant in
Yer general physique that she ran the
NIX of it all for the sake of sensation
al breeze afterward.
Madge and Rosalys witnessed her
daring with disapproval plainly written
upon their countenances, compelled to
silence for fear of awaklng the sleeper,
but mentally vowing to box her ears or
lock her up in the closet when arrived
at home, unmindful of the considered
indignity of her sixteen years.
She had now reached the spot
whereon his head lay, and STOPPING
down-keeping well in shadow-paus-
ed for moment with bright scissors
uplifted her heart almost failing her,
to gain courage.
Cautiously she put forth her hand to
capture the coveted curl ere severing ii
from the brow of the unconscious
sleeper.
Nervously she made the venture.
One clip, quick swapping sound, and
the crisp, brown curl was separated
from its fellows and lay in her hand.
Was it only imaginary? Or did the
closed lids move suddenly and the lips
OF the sleeper assume scornful curve
Maud felt so confused that if her life
had depended on it, she could not have
told.

Lehi and contiguous points are

Council met last evening, and their

small amount of sickness.

Provo Municipal Election.
Provo, January 3

HROVO, y january "a, 1904
Editors Herald:
The preliminary arrangements
for the approaching municipal cleo
tions are fairly inaugurated. Mr..
Thomas Beesly, the designated
registrar, has been holding forth at
the courthouse since last Monday
morning, and only added thirteen
to the list up to Wednesday even
ing. The Peoples party will meet
in the respective wards on the 2Sth
inst. to elect delegates to the Con-
vention to be held on February 4th,
to nominate candidates for the
offices to be filed at the election on
February 18th. We do not know
what the Liberal party will do.
Some of their very best men are or
have been polygamists, and it seems
cruel that any Of them should be
excluded because there are 50 few
"Liberals" in Provo. We would be
clad to see them nominate their best
men for Office, though we could not
vote for them. We hope to slect
men to the city council who will in-
augurate measures to suppress or
control the liquor traffic; or elee,
like scare-crows in the corn field,
frighten the evil-doers away. The
present system Of licensing drug
gists to sell liquors without license
under false prefer ses, seems like
offering a premium for perjury.
This should not Re regarded as re-
Fiction upon any OF our druggists or
their customers. 1t is horrible to
imagine ones self figuring as de-
PENDANT in libel suit, and yet we
would like to find out exactly what
a Provo druggists reputation Is
worth. w. b.
