THE "BEE" AS AN IMMIGRATION
AGENT.

As an evidence of the wide circulation
of the BEE, especially the weekly edition,
we refer to q letter from Sargent, Custer
county, In this state, which we publish
In to-day's Issue. In the opening of his
letter our correspondent says:
SIN a recent descriptive letter to the BEE
from this place, 1 requested all those desiring
further information to address me at Sargent.
1 will never make the request again, as each
mail has brought me hundreds of letters from
all parts Of the union, which would have taken
quite a clerical force to reply to" &c.
This statement also shows with what
eagerness the farming people of the
eastern and middle states are looking for
new locations, and that the o. es of many
are turned in the direction of Nebraska
is an indlsputable fact.
The Importance OF affordlng informa.
ton to the people of other states regard
Ing the u and advantages of Ne
braska cannot bs overestimated. The
railroad companies which have properly
advertised their lands are aware OK this
fact. Judicious advertising by the rail-
road land departments has resulted in the
settlement of the southern half of this
state, and now the northern half Is being
settled ven more rapidly than was the
southern. The consequences is that the
local traffic of the Nebraska railroads is
steadily increasing. In the ab,ence of
any Estate immigration bureau, we can
say without fear of contradiction that
the OMAHA BEE, by reason of it's efforts
in placing before the outside public much
desired information concerning various
localities, is the best immigration agent
that Nebraska could have, and we do not
hesitate to say that the BEE is doing
more to attract immigration Than could
be done by a state bureau, which as q
rule Is very poorly conducted.

The official organ of the railway com
mIsuion informs us that the so, 900 aecre
taries will start out on another tour Of
'inspocion" next Tuesdsy. They will
come 20 Omaha and from here they will
travi over the line OF the Union Pacific
ana It's branches. The official organ
further informs us hat they will "not
make inqu'sltion on rates." That an
nouncement Is entirely supsrfiuous. They
will simply take a pleasure trip, their
sole duty being to write and file with the
commissioner q puff of the Union Pacific
management, as they did for the B. & M.
system. Verify, the commission is an
excellent thlng-for the railways.

what leads me to suppose that you entered

Blanche sank into a chair and covered
her face with her hands.
At the same moment Charley Leonard
confronted her with white and desperate
face.
''Tell him the truth before it is too late,'
he said hoarsely. "You love me, Blanche.
You belong to me2"
"Yes," she gasped, finging herself on
his breast and bursting into tears. "Oh,
why did you take me at my word, Charley9

she struggled to support herself.
"St down and interpret this letter for

note to read.
''There was some mistake" she faltered.

You said you would not marry a man you

He gathered her into his strong arms as
he spoke, and her lips were so close he could
easily hear the half-whispered 'Yes."
(Which means2" he asked tenderly.
THAT love you very much"
The last ray of doubt was all cleared away
when Blanche brought her letter to patch
out what she called the ''epistolary puzzle. !

''By the way Miss Blanche, let us take

lessly,

sented.
Allen went for a carriage while she array
ed herself in brilliant ball costume. When
she came down stairs again a robe of white
satin embroidered with forget-me-nots, trail
ed after her. Her eyes shone with unusual
brilliancy, and her cheeks were slightly
flushed.
Allen thought her very lovely, but the
image of Nora Lind's dark, bewitching face
framed in raven hair her red lips and daz-
zling smile, her smooth throat of creamy
olive clasped by diamonds scarcely brighter
than her eyes, rose up before him, but he
tried to Danish even her name from his
memory.
The night wore on. Blanche's '1ittle

home, pale and tired, she was Allen West

The engagement was announced, and so

face in his hands, when a lady, heavily veil
ed, came in.
"You are Mr.. Leonard, Mr.. Westlock'i

''No, no, certainly not"
Her passion subdued in a moment.
''There is cnly one thing more have to

He had barely uttered the words when
she was gone.

love him after all. 1t was Allen who was
trifiing with her."
That evening, for the first time in months,
he went to see Allen.
"Where have you been hiding YOURSELF"
cried his friend, holding out hand which
Charley ignored.
81 cannot shake hands with you, Allen,
till am sure you are not the knave l have

"How?''
"Why did you lie to me about Miss LindP

"Not without me-"
"You may come"
They both presented themselves at Mis-

That was all.

That was all.
''She shall never know by word of mine,'
he said, as he dropped this note In the box
on his way to supper. "That dream is over
and my happiness at an end forever; but she
shall not know it. l will hide my pain from
her or die"
That evening, when society was about
awakening to the touch of dissipation, Allen
Westloek presented himselfin faultless at
tire in the parlor of an up town resi-
dence.
"How fortunate am to fluid you at home
he said, as he bent over the slim white hant
of graceful girl in pale blue surah. ''But
you are not we'll; what have you been doing
to yourself, my dear Miss Blanche?"
Blanche Merle replied with light laugh
whose studied indifference could not who'll,
'deaden the ring of a sad note.
'It is dissipation" she answered, witt
glance in the mirror opposite. 81 hav

'Why, I'd forgotten all about it! This i
