1880.
For a company then, with which rapid
growth and expansion OF business have al
ways been subordinate to substantial bene-
fits to members and permanent good of
the organization, it is interesting in mere
point o. growth to note that the North
Westerns new business, actually written
during the year 1890. exceeded by over
two million the combined new business OF
the W largest companies in the world in
1880, and nearly equaled the combined
new business in 1890 of any other three
life companies that conine their business
to the United States.
Furthermore; the assets of the com.
pany, which, twenty-five years go, were
less than 81, 00O, 900, at the present time
exceed the combined capital and surplus
of all the national and state banks, of
both Chicago and Milwaukee on July /,

was S62, 236. COG 90.
A large volume Of new business, If OBJ

mendable; large returns to members are
important. These are desirable but not

1 could say no more. He took my hand.
"Have 1 offended you, Agatha?" he said.
"Not you. The offense-the guilt-oh,

do was to sob.
At last strength came to me. went back
to the first and told him all-how VIC had

for better prospects to be wed, and how,
when he honored me by an offer of his hand
l angered my grandmother by owning to the
truth, and of the ring grannie had stolen
from my breast and the false message that
had been sent my promised husband from
me.
"And though 1 never see Evan Locke
again" said l, ''still l can never be another
mans true love, for am his until die"
Then as looked all the rich color faded
out of the squire's face, and l saw the
sight we seldom see more than once in a
lifetime-a strong young man IN tears.
At last he arose and came to me.
''AIy little Agatha never loved me-" be
said san, me! the news is bad thought
she did. This comes of vanity"
HMany higher and fairer have hearts to
give," l said. "Mine was gone ere you saw
me-"
And then, kind and gentle, as though
had not grieved him, he gave me his arm
and saw me across the moor, and at the gate
paused and whispered:
'sBe at rest, Agatha. The golden George
has not yet sailed YETI
1 liked him better than l had ever done
before that night when told grannie that

roGe away with the break of the morrow
and never stopped till he reached Liverpool
and found Evan Locke just ready to set
foot upon the Golden George, and told him
tale that made his heart light and sent
him back to me. Heaven bless him!
And who was it that sent old grandfather
the deed of gift that made the cottage bis
own, and who spoke a kind word to the
gentry for young DR.. Locke that helped
him into practice? Still no one but Squire
Turner, whom we taught our children to
pray for every night. For we were mar
ried, and in few years had boys and girls
at our knees; and when the eldest was nigh
two, the thing I needed to make me quite
happy happened-apd from far over the
sea, where he had been three twelvemo onths,
came our squire with the bonniest lady that
ever blushed beside him, aud the hall had..a
mistress at last-a mistress who loved the
squire as loved Evan.
Eh! but it's an old story. She that l
remembered girl saw in her ccfiE, with
cred and old. And then they opened the
vault where the squire had slept ten years
to put her beside him; and I've nothing left
Of Evan, my life snd my love, but his
memory, and il seems IS if every hope and
dream of joy l ever had was put away un-
