 "But I'm only an adventurer, any way. have no solid hopes; and my character is becoming as unsettled as my circumstances. I am flush to-day and broke tomorrow; honest in the morning and scamp before night. When think of Miss Ray"
 "Yes, when you think of her," said that young lady's sire, with a good humored smile-''when you think of her your sins look big and black. I'm glad of it; could ask no better guaran- tee that you really love her"
 Russell started up in astonishment, but before he could utter word Ray continued:
 "I've been waiting for you to speak to me like this. More than once I have thought you were going to begin. When you showed hesitancy about coming up to tho villa I knew why. You said: She's a rich mans daughter and I have only my wits.'"
 But, my dear sir," Russell broke in, "I have never ventured to remotely con- sider the possibility"
 "Of course you haven't, but you may begin now. Don't speak to her yet; she Is only little girl you know. Of course you haven't so much as hinted any thing of the sort to her, and I wouldn't for year; let us say for a year. dare say you wouldn't have thought of doing so. What you wanted to say to me, and what saw that you wanted to say-for fathers eye can not be deceived-was that you felt it more honorable to tell me straight out that you were in love with my daughter and then ask the right to let every thing go on as before. It's only few months that we've known you, and that made it harder. I pitied you, and says I to myself: I'll help him out And because I think so we'll of you, young man, and trust you so fully, and hate to see you down-hearted, I'll give you word of encouragement: I believe the little girl likes you pretty we'll aSready."

dangerous to Russell's peace of mind, except that he had no peace of mind during those days. The worry of pro; viding for his personal expenses, which were ever increasing; his anxiety re- garding the motor company; his fear lest Deering should hear of certain oper- ations in the stock and should call a halt on the whole procession-all these considera tions kept Russell in a condition unfavorable to love. Alice had conquered him only so far that he felt he was not good enough to be in her society. The recognition of this fact by any young man is symptom, but 1t may never lead to a proposal or to a re- form. If Russell had considered the subject at all, he would have said at once that he could not permit himself to fall in love with Alice without gross treaohery to his friend. But as yet he thought only that she oughtn't to be all lowed to know him, and he wondered that her father should permit it.
 "Old Ray must know the condition I'm in," thought Russell. II wonder that he doesn't politely hint that I'd better stay away from his house. Sup pose some crash should come and two or three of my creditors should combine to put me in jail. 1t would not be pleas ant for Miss Ray"
 He was surprised that Ray should re- new his invitations to the villa. Russell felt like an impostor when he accepted them; and at last he began to refuse, but as a rule the old millionaire would take the young man by the arm and walk him down to the yacht as if he were under arrest Russell realized that he had won a place in the old fel- lows affections, and this made him feel meaner than ever about the whole affair. It was possible that Ray did not know all about him, Russell reflected. He might be blinded by prejudice in his favor; he might accept him because of Browns assurances. Brown had been on the most intimate terms with the family in the days when the son whom Ray had lost had been youth at col lege, Alice only little girl. At any rate he resolved to go to Ray, make 8 clean breast of the whole matter and give the old man a fair chance to kick him out of the house. This would mean financial ruin, but Russell didn't care for that. He was in fit of despond- ency-a mental condition eminently fa' vorable to virtue, for hope is the tempter after all.
 The occasion came on day in the last of September when Ray proposed anoth- CT Sunday at the villa.
 "Mr. Ray" said Russell, ''your kind: ness blinds you to reasons why I should not be guest at your house."
 The old man started and looked searchingly into Russelrs face.
 "Perhaps it does," said he, land per haps it doesn't. l may see the reasons better than you think do."
 "Then why do you ask me to comet I should not be offended if you did not or even if you forbade me to enter youl door.

AN INDIANS ENDURANCE.

 Ice Water.
 To show what an Indian can stand when he has to, may tell of an incl dent which happened during the winter was with them, says the Detroit Free Press. Toward evening, on a very cold winter day, when it was showing just little and drifting great deal, an Indian came to the log house with a jug half full of whisky and with his rifle. imagine that the jug had been entirely full of whisky when he started and by the time he got to the house he was in rather a jolly condition. The jug and the rifle were taken away from him and he was ordered to get to his wigwam as quick as he could before darkness came on. He left, and was supposed to have gone to the camp, but early next morning his squaw appeared at the house and said he had not come home that night, and as the night was very cold she had been anxious about him. Then the search for the lost Indian began.
 He was found in one of the sheds near the barn under a heap of drifted snow, and the chances are that the snow that was above him had helped to save his life. The searcherS for the Indian had gone in different directions, and 1t was his own squaw who, with true Indian instinct, had tracked him out, and she was alone when she found him. Apparently the Indian was a frozen corpse. She tumbled him out of the snow bank and pulled off his blankets, and dragged him down to the creek, where a deep hole was cut in the ice for the purpose of watering the cattle. Laying the Indian out on the snow, she took a pail that was beside the ice hole, and, filling 1t repeatedly, dashed pailful after pailful of ice water over the body of the Indian. By the time the other unsuccessful searchers had returned she had her old man thawed out and seated by the fire wrapped up in blankets. There Is no question that if he had been found by the others and had been taken into the house frozen as he was he would have died

tation; and here he was beng led tamely to the villa again.
 Somehow, he was more than usually glad to go, although his conscience eX- erted a feeble restraining force. Why was it? Rays favorable view of him as a possible son-in-law meant nothing to him. He had no shadow of an idea that he should ever take advantage of it. But that "word of encouragement" as Ray had called it, was matter of a very different nature. Could Ray possibly have given such hint on any weaker grounds than absolute certainty? Fa' thcr and daughter were on terms of tho closest confidence. Russell had often observed it, with Q feeling that the mill- ionaire had been blessed in other good things than dollars. Ray should know the state of his daughters heart as soon as she did herself, and if he said that she thought kindly of man it should be infinitely encouraging.
 There was only one ground for doubt, and it lay in the old fellows firm belief that he knew very nearly every thing that was passing in the minds ofthose about him. He was one of tbose men who believe that their eyes are electric search lights which they can turn upon the souls of others and expose all hidden things.
 This belief in him was coupled with n total inability to read the ordinary external signs of emotion. It always is. These eagle-eyed fellows are the ones who can see man poisoned with strych- nine and swear that he looks pleasant, and stick to it with a confidence un- moved, after the unfortunate has died in convulsions. Russell thought of all this, and 1t seemed to him probable that Ray had not received any verbal intima- tion from his daughter, but had de- pended wholly upon glance of his in- fallible eye.
 'If that is tho case," said Russell to himself, "she does not love me"-and his eXultation was immediately changed to gloom. But his reflections had con. vinced him that he loved her, long be- fore the two men reached the yacht and he had resolved to tell Ray the truth about his supposed offer, and to pre- pare some way of backing out of the whole entanglement.
 Yes, he resolved to do all this, but he did not do any part of it.
 He changed his mind when the time for disclosure came; resolved to keeI his secret safe; to pursue a strictly guarded course with Alice which should show her what hero he was. Of course she couldn't help noticing that he loved

peeted to come up frequently during the summer. This cordiality would have amazed him if the extraordinary kindness which had hitherto been shown him by the Rays had not prepared him for almost any thing. He accepted most of Rays invitations, which generally included Saturday afternoon and Sum day afternoon at the villa and a sail up and down in the millionaire's handsome steam yacht. At the villa Russell learned to play tennis and to wear picturesque summer clothing. He was a young man designed by nature to com plete landscape with striped blazer.
 Out-of-door costumes were very be- coming to Alico, also, and her beauty was too radiant with health to fear the sun. The sight of it might have been

 You're blue, young man," said Ray, "that's what's the matter with you. You're career will come out all right, and you'll be a rich man. I've picked you out as a fellow with a very level head, and don't make many mistakes" |"

The removal of Col. Forsyth after
the battle at Wounded Knee Greek
seems to bring forth considerable
comment all over the country. In
our opinion the United States gov
eminent is acting quite childish over
this affair. An officer with a num-
Der of soldiers is suddenly attacked
by bloodthirsty savages; the officer
orders the soldiers to FIRE upon the
indians; during the melee several In
dian children and squawsvthe latter
being quite As ferocious as men-are
killed. The authorities at Washing
ton roll up their eyes in righteous
indignation and remove Col. Forsyth
for cruelty in shooting down women
and children. Just how, under the
circumstances, the soldiers could help
shooting them when they were mixed
up with the warriors can only be
solved by the patent leather shod Of
ficials at Washington, several hundred d
miles away. 1nAsmuch as majority
of our able bodied Indians seem by
natural inclination incapacitated
from manual labor, it would be a
good idea for our humane govern
ment to issue to each Indian 4 pen
sion for total disability, furnish them
with guns and ammunition, and give
them permission to practice shooting
on the United States troops, and if
said troops object to being shot at
by the guests of the government, re-
move the officers and slap the men
into the guard house or shoot them
according to military custom. The
pettifogging policy ofthe government
reminds us Of the signs, you see in
public parks. but instead Of saying
"keep OF the grass" i '.teep OF
the IRdian."
