CHAPTER XIX.

Lounging in Il comfortable armchair
on an old wooden porch in the witching
light of the August moon. inhaling the
breath of the mountains and speculat-
ing dreamily over the Illusions of moon
light and mist and evening shadows,
with pipe and quiet conscience, and
the friend of your heart beside you. is
situation that to most minds suggests
possibilities of enjoyment, with dis
course, tranquil, grave, congenial, or
better still, the silence of perfect COM
panlonship and a soft yielding to the
subtle enchantment of moonlight and
tobacco. As the smoke rises from the
bowl or floats in tender wreaths from
the lips how limitless become the bounds
of thought, how infinite grows its power!
The earth is ours and the fullness there
of, the world and they that dwell there
in, the mystery of eternal darkness, the
effulgence of everlasting light, the
depths of the inferno, the heights of the
empyrean, the illusions Of speculation
and the glory of revelation. All things
finite, some things infinite, are ours, and
we enter upon our heritage untram-
and space as even the divine within us.
the power of thought itself, may not al
together lay aside
How changed is this when, instead Of
the friend of our heart, the woman of
our love is beside us! Tranquility van
ishes with the smoke in which we may
not indulge; thought contracts, intensi
fies, individualiZes; our solution becomes
a crystal. Even the thought of her, I'M
aided b. visible presence, is destructive
to that piece of mind and inactivity of
conscience so necessary to the full en-
joyment of profound or idle specula-
ton. One thought dominates all thought,
and love is the nebula of new world.
So Dan Stewart sat on the porch OF
the small house across the ravine and
thought of Mrs. Beverley, and failed of
appreciation of his environment and op-
portunity, and woefully failed of deriv-
ing enjoyment from either. In good
soOth Dan was more than commonly
, troubled, and his conscience was as rest
less as bird whose nest is threatened
His love for Mrs. Beverley (for, like a
, straightforward gentleman, ne acknowl-
edged to himself that he was in love
with her, and very much in love with
her besides) had been Il thing CT such
gradual development that it was only
latterly that he had come to full knowl-
edge of its existence and its strength.
A word, a glance, the chance touch of
her hand, an infection of her sweet
voice-who knows how such knowledge
comes? Suffice it that it had come; the
scales had fallen and revealed passion
grown to man's estate-imperious insist
ent, powerful.

ent, powerful

| Hc turned himself so that his face trGs
toDdrd the opposite side Of the rGUjnC
What should he do about it? Man
hood as well as passion demanded that
no time be lost in making the disclosure
| and in seeking happiness, or at least the
negative comfort of definite conclusion.
! Dan had little thought of himself in the
matter or of the downfall of his homes.
which was quite within the range Of
possibility. He thought himself I'M
worthy of his love, as every man whost,
I love Is thing of value must, for nobil-
ity of love is twin born with humility,
and he resolved in an honest, manly
way that should he prosper in his WOO
ing he would endeavOr in all after life
to decrease that unworthiness. He
thought also that Mary must be aware
OF the state of his mind toward her,
since wonan's intuition in such matters
Is kcener than mans: but he lonCed TO
give them both the certainty of spoken
words, and to put the issue at once into
her hands, where it belonged. To Dan
the meanE"ss of indefinite giving was
impossible; what he conceived in inten-
ton he suhstantiated in deed and abided
the result as Il gentleman should.
The trouble therefore was not Mary
at least not the present trouble. The
element of discord which marred the
harmony Of the present and the antici-
pations of the future was Ned Anthony.
Ills friend, who was now his rival, had
never contided to him his later love, nor
even limited at its existence, but Dams
nature was too sympathetic not to have
made the discovery speedily for himself.
He had not invited Ned's confidence as
on another subject he would have done.
and had it been offered he would have
shrunk from and evaded it. But all the
same he knew of the existence of An
thongs love for Mary Beverley, Just as
he suspected at times that Anthony was
beginning to be aware of his own pas
sion.
Had she been in truth the little
Mary of the story he had listened to
and grown tender and sympathetic over
out in the lonely canyon, with the stars
overhead and the camp fire smoldering
down to bed of embers, and the walls
of darkness and solitude shutting them
into sanctuary OF confidence, Dams
course would have been as plain as
though signboarded at every step. He
must have gone away at once, leaving
the field free to his rival-aye, and have
staid away, holding down all hope with
a strong hand until such time as his
rivals fate should be decided beyond all
question. This he could and would
have done as the natural outcome of
honor and manhood; for it would have
been an ignoble thing, and cruel and

efforts of its officers and members, achiev-
ed II state reputation. Though only a
little over two years in existence, their

AT their different meetings they have en-

A THANKSGIVING CONCERT.


A concert of considerable interest took place
at Hagen's opera house, on Thanksglvi ng
night. The attractions were MIR. Dome, violinist,
MIR. Carl Preyer, pianist, and Mr.. Kelley, elo-
cutiOnist. These young gentlemen are con-
nected with the university at Lawrence, Kan
sas, and appeared for the first time in our city
Prof, Preyer is a brilliant pianist of unques-
tionable talent and ability. Although he was
compelled to use a very poor piano. he played
the Hungarian Rhapsodie No. IL, by List, in a
mastery m amer, and showed his fine techni-
nique and artistic phrasing to still better ad-
vantage in pleasing composition of his own,
aud two characteristic pieces by his former
teacher the famous Leschititzky, of Vienna.
We understand that Prof. Preyer intends to
give a piano recital in the near future, and we
will be pleased to have him again under more
favorable circumstances. Mr.. Dome is a yio-
linist OF moderate ability only, his tone not
being full and broad enough, and his intona-
ton at times not tone. His most pleasing num-
bers were the Cavatlna bv Rolf, and Mazurka
called Kuzanidsh) by Wianiowski. Mr.. Dome
shows some talent and inspiration in his play
ing, still his rather limited technique does not
justify his appearance as a star, Mr. Kelley's
reading was a pleasant feature or the enter
tainment, and his selections were favorably
received. The audience was composed In the
main of students of our colleges, who were
most liberal In applauding all the various
numbers of the programme. "~SERApH."
