distant Northern city. Yet, Stella
felt strangely unensy. Had she been
too precipitate?
Perhaps there was some mistake,
after all. Oh, how she wished 1t
might be so; she would humble her
self upon her knees before him, II
she could only prove herself mistaken.
Yet, it was therein black and white
before her-the evidence Of his guilt
What could she do but bclieve?
She went home to the pretty cottage
nearby, where she had lived all her
life. still with that uneasy feeling
rambling In her heart, that troubled
expression in her gray eyes.
opened her writing desk and took
from 1t n letter-the letter which had
told her of Teddy Danes pertidy.
Teddy Dane, her own dear lover, to
whom she was betrothed.
Far away, in his Northern home, he
was working for her-waiting for the
day when he could claim her for his
wife. Stella was working, too, with
her pen; for she was quite n successful
writer of stories for various publica-
tions, and earned very comforta BILE
income. So she devoted herself to her
literary work, and her bank account
gradually increased. For Stella was
independent, and was determined not
TO come to Teddy Danes home pcnni-
less; and all her worldly possessions
consisted of the income derived from
her writing.
Teddy was so loving and tender, so
true and honorable, no wonder she
loved him; and If there was little
jealous terror lurking in her heart,
lest some one else should learn to care
for him also, one cannot wonder at it.
For in nll true love there turks spice
of jealousy. 1t is the human element,
and since we are all poor, erring NOR
tails, our love must partake of the
human-more or less But nothing
had ever aroused the slumbering de-
mon. jealousy within Stella's heart
until now. The first seed was sown
now-whnt would the harvest be?
She stood holding in her hand the
letter which had been the cause of
her disgust ever since its reception
that morning. This is what it said:
miss STELLA LoRNE: Pardon me, u
stranger, for venturing to address u
word of warning to you. understand
that you are betrothed to Mr.. Teddy
he is constant visitor at Miss Laura
Latimer's residence in b? 1t is
generally understood here that Mr..
Dane is going to marry the lady. l
have been aware of this for some time,
and as have the greatest respect and
admiration for you as n lady and
writer, i have vcntured to drop you
this hint. If have blundered in
doing SO, beg your pardon. My in
tentions are good, and trust you will
not imagine, for moment, that my
motive is otherwise than honorable.
"A word to the wise is sufficient
Yours very respectfully,
"OsCAR SMIrHsoN"
Slowly, carefully did Stella Lorne
read this letter over, her face growing
very pale. her eyes filling with tears
OF bitter sorrow and regret. Sorrow
for her own suffering, her lost faith,
lost trust, and regret that her idol
should be thus rudely dethroned. For
Stella could not close her eyes to the
warning conveyed in Mr.. Smithson's
letter. She had never met the gentle
man personally, out he had attended
TO some business matters upon several
occasions, investing her small funds in
such an advantageous manner that
the investments had largely increased

HON. WHITELAW REID

The HERALD extends a "fraternal"
welcome to Hon. Whitelaw Reid, ana
in behalf of the residents of this city
offers him the freedom of Fairhaven.
The interview which occurs in another
column between Mr.. Reid and repre-
sentative of the HERALD shows that
the distinguished visitor holds tender
SPOT in his heart for newspaper men,
and is ever willing to meet them in
friendly converse. Mr.. Reeds life is
an encouragement to every young man
Of pluck and determination in that he
is thoroughly self-made man, having
gained his high position in Journalism
step by step, travelling through all the
stages of newspaper experience from
reporter to proprietor, and being now
recognized as one of the greatest editors
of America In visiting Bellingham
bay Mr.. Reid has given himself the
opportunity of beholding one OF the
most charming and beautiful spots he
has ever seen, the pleasure of which
will linger with him for many days,
and will doubtless make him, as is the
experience of all other visitors, one of
its ardent and devoted admirers.
Though visiting this section merely as
a private citizen on a trip of Observa-
ton and recreation, Mr.. Reid's extern
sive influence with business men and
capitalists in the East, who will be at
tracted here through his favorable rep
reservations, may make his advent to
the Bay cities one of the most for
tunate events in their history.

SENSIBLE PETER COOPER.

Here is good advice for you from
Peter Cooper, the famous philanthro-
pist: ain all the towns where a news
paper is published, every man should
advertise in it, if nothing more than a
card stating his name and the business
he is engaged in. 1t does not only pay
the advertiser, but lets people at a dis
lance know the town in which you re-
eide is an energetic community of BUSH
ness men. As the seed is sown so the
seed recompenses. Never pull down
your sign while you expect to do BUSH
ness" The HERALD endorses Peter
Cooper's common sense. Keep your
name before the public by using the
columns of the HERALD. All the
people read it.

inclosure He came very near losing his
job last year, when there was an ener-
getic agitation for the abolition of the
hunt. buckhounds and all, because of the
cruelty of hunting tame deer, which
were the only kind that could be hunted,
as there were no others.
The queen and prime minister did not
view the agitation with favor, however,
and some of the farmers and land own
ers protested against the abolition Of
even a cruel sport that brought them
ducats, so the matter died out for a
time. The Humanitarian society is still
interested in the question, however, and
bids fair to keep it before the people.
The secretary recently wrote to Mr..
Gladstone asking if the report were true
that the buckhounds were to be con-
tinued, and Mr.. Gladstone very diplo-
matically answered that no decision on
the subject had yet been arrived at.

A Curious Dispute.

A curious ecclesiastical dispute is pro-
ceeding in the little parish of st. vslery-
en-Caux IN Normandy. The free think
ers of the neighborhood object to enter
ing the church even to attend funerals
or marriages and complain that during
the religious portion of such ceremonies
they are obliged to wait in the various
wineshops at hand. So they request the
church to build neutral shelter" ad-
joining the sacred buildings, where they
can wait without violating their opin-
ions. The clerical authorities refuse,
and the free thinkers propose to take
legal proceedings.
