man in Deadwood, an old side partner
Of Wild Bill, the notorious Desperate
who was assassinated in Deadwood.
Jane was in peadwood at time and
was among the first to place a pillow
under the head of the dying man and
minister to his wants.

Swallowed by the action of state legis-
%latures, boards of health, food commits

The bill is something needed. If a

Portieres.

With the portieres beauty dominates
usefulness, though of course draughts
can be kept out when they are drawn
closely together, but as draped folds and
graceful loopings are more in vogue than
the unbroken sweeping lines, art rather
than hygiene is master of this portion at
least All tawny shades are especially
effective in heavy draperies, as these
tones seem to catch and hold the sun
shine and give nothing Of sombreness to
the room. Tapestries always make eff
fective backgrounds for carved oak fur
niture and polished floors, but care
should be taken lest incongruous effects
be produced by the use of hangings not
in harmony with the surroundings.
Bead portieres will be greatly used this
year for hall doors and at the head of the
stairs and for arches and alcoves. These
are cheap and are always graceful and in
artistically blended colors.

UNDER SUSPICION.

Something very unusual to quiet Talm-
ley had happened, and Talmley was de-
cidedly uncomfortable about it..
Of course everybody knew-as every
body knew everything in that delightful
place, where each neighbor was friend,
each friend a brother-and what the
village folk knew was this-the miller,
old Harvey Jameson, had been robbed.
ga quee. business" said the miller,
shaking his dusty head solemnly, and
telling the circumstance for the fftieth
time to his neighbor, Farmer Greene,
who had dropped in to sympathize with
his old friend; ''nobody knew l had the
money but my daughter Jennie and
young Levoe, and can't suspect a
single soul. I put the money in a tin
box, and put that among lot of other
boxes in the cupboard, waitin till !
could go to the bank with it, an 10 and
behold! when I went to get it out yes
terday there wasn't a single sign Of box
or money. can't understand it"
'sNeither can I, neighbor," said Greene,
running a brawny hand over his shock
of untidy hair; neither canI. But I do
think We set too much store by that
young man ye've took into your house,
an mebbe we've mistook him. He's q
deal too fine about his clothes an his
hands, an his hair, to be any too honest,
but" cautiously, as he saw the flush
that stole over Jamesons face, s'sbut
mebbe I'm talkin too fast, but it's
mighty curious, and one don't know
what to think"
"One might try to think nothin that
weren't charitable" said the miller
gravely, San l don't suspect the lad.
It's more'n I'd like to lose, for it takes
time to earn it. But young Levoe
didn't have nothin to do with the stealth
mo more'n you or mean I'd rather
people wouldn't kinder hint he had.''
s''Taint in nature not to think it seein
he's stranger, an nobody knows what
OF who he is: an he has fine ways with
him an talks like schoolmaster," said
Greene stubbornly. II don't like to see
you took in, neighbor, and I'm mighty
much afraid you are by that mill hand
of yourn."
Then Greene held out his hand to the
miller, who was deep in thought, and
babe him good day, and betook himself
to his duties on the farm near the mill.
But the farmer had left a seed Of
doubt behind him; and when has such a
seed not found soil to nurture it until its
fruit hung heavy on the giant tree
which shadowad A. friendship OF dark
ened forever soul immortal?
In Talmley there was but one who
had not been born there, and that one
was Dick Levoe, the stranger who had
crossed his threshold six months before
to ask for employment.
Jameson wanted hand in the mill,
and hired Dick, taking him as aboarder.
The young man had ''fne ways" as
Greene said
He was not especially handsome, but
he was cheerful, courteous, and willing

IN which he had hidden the money. 1t
was not there.
"You're rather old for such capers,
Harvey" his wife was saying.
But he didn't hear her. Very blankly
he turned to Dick, who had now retreat
ed to the threshold where Jennie was
standing, white and startled, but ravish-
ingly pretty.
'sLad," the miller said solemnly, Il
believe I've robbed myself. I've heard
of such things, an now believe I've just
done that, an Ihain't got notion where
| put the money"
SIS it gomez"
"Yes."
"Then you had best put on dry clothes,
sir, while l go out and try to follow the
tracks you have probably left in the
garden. Your feet are so muddy I'm
sure you must have been there. I'll re-
port in few moments"
A whispered sentence to Jennie at the
door, and Dick was off to don his boots
and laugh at the remembrance of the
miller's plight.
With a lantern he went out into the
rain, and his gravity departed again as
under the window of the miller's
chamber he discovered deeply indented
footprints, which proved that Jameson
had emerged like a schoolboy.
The big, bare feet left plain traces in
the soft soil of the garden. Dick fol-
lowed them on across the road, and
found that they ceased at one corner Of
the mill. A loose board had been
freshly replaced. He drew it out and
there, in the aperture, found a small tin
box.
Taking it out, he hurried back to find
Jameson, his wife and Jennie up and
dressed, waiting for him.
The miller took the box eagerly and
opened it with scarcely steady hands,
There were the ten pounds, and under
them the money of which he had thought
Dick had robbed him.
Lad" he said, turning to his en-
ployee, ''I've been thinkin i'll of you for
the last few days, an l ask your pardon.
If | can ever do you good turn call on
me-"
81 take your word, sir" said Dick
cheerfully, going straight to Jennie and
taking her hand. Il want your consent
to my marrying Jennie some day, when
have proved myself able to take care
of her. We love each other, and / hope,
sir, you'll not forget what love was to
yourself once"
s'No, l don't, lad" said the miller,
with tender glance toward his wife;
"but mill hand gets but poor wages,
an you'll have to wait awhile"
Gas for that" said Dick, 81 think
you'll have to look up another mill hand,
Mr.. Jameson, for l have another offer,
and intend taking it. / WASN'T brought

sleep like an honest man, do"
So he went to bed, and thought more
of his daughter than of the money under
the carpet. However, he did think of
his money sometimes, and in fact his
thoughts ran from that to Jennie, as the
thoughts of the money lender ran from
his ducats to his daughter.
At last he slept, but not any too
soundly; dreams visited him, and un-
pleasant ones they were. Vision after
vision came and faded, and his wife was
alarmed beyond measure to see his I'M
conscious hands go out again and again,
perilously near sometimes to the loaded
rifle.
1t was midnight before she slept at all,
but then her sleep was profound. 1t

harsh, reverberating report, as though a
cannon had been fired at her ear.
No woman is ever too frightened to
scream, and Mrs. Jameson's shrieks
were loud and shrill as she covered
among the bedclothes, and scrambling
in the darkness and muttered words she
could not understand did not tend to
calm her.
There was a rush of feet in the hall
without: a stout shoulder sent the door
inward with a crash, and Dick Levoe.
who had made this unceremonious en-
trance, stood there, with light high
above his head, his keen eyes scanning
the apartment swiftly.
It took him moment to comprehend,
and then he laughed with immeasur-
able amusement.
The miller, clad but lightly, was
sprawling on the floor, a dazed wonder in
his face, the old rifle, which he had struck
as he fell, lying harmless beside him
and now unloaded; a window was open,
and through it came a fine sheet of rain:
the old man was soaking wet and rain
drops glistened on his hair and scanty
garments; his bare feet were muddy.
and altogether he presented anything
but an agreeable or presentable appear

"What has happened?' asked Dick as
soon as his mirth could be suppressed, as
he aided the miller to his feet.

His wife, hearing voices, cautiously
