Williams gave me your message
Here was swift retribution, truly
North frantically regretted that mo-
ment Of indecision that had been his un-
doing. Everything danced before his
eyes for an instant as he dizzily sought
in the recesses of his mind for some
plausible means of extricating himself
from this embarrassing dilemma. He
had gone altogether too far now to think
of retreating precipitately and acknowl-
edging the daring personation that he
had attempted; there was positive
ly no alternative but to face the situa-
ton coolly and make the best of it.
"Oh, really, Mrs. Maynard" he said,
affecting great negligence, Williams

have fancied that my errand was very
pressing, but, In fact don't you know,

"Ohl Indeed. Then he probably

a thoughtful air; but North nervously
fancied that she was by no means sat
isfed in her own mind that he was tell

nothing but the truth.

presently, "that you had received

solemnly, thankful for the ability to

truth without compromising his safety.

five seconds, she added, gayly:

LOVE WORKS WONDERS.

We read legend Of monk, who painted
In an old convent cell In days by-gone
Pictures Of martyrs and virgins sainted,
And the sweetfaced Christ with the crown OF
thorn.
Poor daubsl not At to be o ehapels treasure!
Full many haunting word upon them fell;
But the good abbot let him for his pleasure
Adorn with them his solitary cell.
One night the poor monk mused; "Could but
render
Honor to Christ as other painters do,
Were but my skill as great as is the tender
Love that inspires me when His cross view
'But no-'tis vain toll and strive in sorrow;
What man so scorns still less can he admire;
My life's work is all valueless; tomorrow
I'll cast my ill-wrought pictures in the fire"
He raised his eyes, within his cello, wonderl
There stood o sitor-thorncrownedw was He,
And sweet voice the silonce rent asunder;
'I'll scorn no work that's done for love OF me-"
And round the walls the paintings shone re-
splendent
With lights and colors TO this world unknown;
A perfect beauty and hue transcendent
That never yet on mortal canvas shone.
There is meaning in this strange old story
Let none dare Judge his brothers worth or
need;
The pure intent gives TO the act its glory
The noblest purpose makes the noblest deed

certain was not intended for his per
rusal, and accepting an invitation which
1t was equally certain had never been
extended to him?
This question which, strange to say,
occurred to him now quite for the first
time, produced most paralyzing effect
upon him, and for the moment deprived
him of the power Of speech or action.
1t might almost be argued In his de-
fense that he was not responsible for
what Immediately followed, for as he
stood there in this state Of fascinated
indecision Mrs. Maynard unconsciously
turned the wavering scale, in which,
nicely balanced, his line of action lay,
by uttering his name in tones Of well
come and holding out her hand to him
cordially. It was small white hand
with solitaire ring sparkling on one
fnger-he noticed that in vague sort
of way-and It rested In his hand as
lightly as snowflake.
North realized then that In his mo-
ment of hesitation he was lost; he
therefore gave himself up TO an interest
ing study Of Mrs. Maynard and panic
stricken wonder how best to adapt his
manner and conversation to the pecul-
lar situation in which he had placed
himself.
The first consideration was easily dis
posed Of Accustomed to arriving swift
ly at conclusions, he summed up Mrs.
Maynard in one rapid glance. Age un-
certain, something between twenty-five
and thirty; height little above the
medium; figure graceful and willowy;
hair pale golden, exquisitely fine and
wavy; eyes large, dark and brilliant;
features regular and delicately color
less; manner vivacious and slightly inn
perious. A little spoiled and willful,
perhaps, but only delightfully."- so.
Her gown was of black silk, with a
profusion of fine white lace about the
corsage, which relieved the somber eff
feet and seemed to give a peculiar bril-
liancy to her eyes. That faint exquisite
perfume like hot house roses, which he
had noticed when he read her note
hung about her like an intangible pres
ence. There was an indescribablt
daintiness about her that gave pecul
lar charm to her beauty; yet with al
this softness and beauty one could moi

A Spaniel which Refused to Recognize n

Speaking OF queer dogs" said Mr..
Lawrence, manager of the post traders
store at Smelling, to q Pioneer Press
man, "there was one at Fort Sully that
aroused the interest and wonder Of
everybody in the post. He belonged to
no one. He was not a bad-loolring
water spaniel, but appeared to know a
thing or two. Every member of every
company treated him royalty, and he
was continually around them. The
minute any Of his friends appeared in
citizens dress the dog refused to recog-
nize him, and no amount of persuasion
could induce him TO make up. II was
often tried by the men for fun, but in
every single instance the dog showed
his teeth and trotted away. He seemed
to have particular affinity for the boys
OF Company A, and many one has he
saved from trouble. There was a GER

with him. AT this post the dog would
be found every night as regular as
cloclswork. He stayed right with the
sentinel, and his presence often gave
the soldiers an opportunity to catch a
little rest They could go TO sleep dur
ing the late hours OF the night, but the
minute the old dog heard the least
sound Of footsteps he would scratch the
guard roughly on the shoulder and wake
him up in time to meet the intruder, be

fail to perceive that she possessed some
strong and decided points Of character
Invincible pride and force Of will
these two traits were plainly revealed
beneath all the charm Of sweet and
gracious exterior.
Had North been very susceptible to
feminine attractions he might have
lost his heart TO Mrs. Maynard at first
sight, as others had so often done. But
certain cold, flippant cynicism which
he had been cultivating for the past
few years, with considerable success,
saved him from this fate. He had once
loved a beautiful girl with all the
strength and fervor of his soul, had be-
lieved in her with his whole heart, and
had been trined with-deceived There
was no danger that his heart would
ever be captured again.
Still Mrs. Maynard interested him,
under the circumstances, and he there
fore subjected her TO his unobtrusive
but critical observation.
Their eyes met directly for an instant
after their first salutations, and during
that instant North fancied that he
could perceive q swift and subtitle
change come over her. He could not
have defined the change any more than
he could have accounted for 1t. He only
knew that a sudden little shadow fitted
over her face, sudden little chill came
into her manner, curious mingling Of
surprise, annoyance and perplexity took
the place Of the frank cordiality with
which she at first greeted him. She
seemed 10 lose her self-possession for a
moment, and her first words, though
evidently intended to be light and care
less, were spoken with nervous rap
idity that quite betrayed her.
"How very kind in you, Mr.. North, TO
be so punctualr' she exclaimed, as she
sank gracefully into a low easy-chair
and waved him back TO his seat. 81

his usual facility for quieting his own
conscience, ''she sent. for me because
she wanted to see me. Isn't that clear

"a mean," added Mrs. Maynard, with
curious effect Of measuring her words
with difficulty because Of her usual
habit Of speaking impulsively and un-
guardedly. "you understand my-nnx'

She hesitated again and seemed 10 bs

that he was given To understand that
the money would come from Mr. Wat

and wanted to he senator. and was said
To have brought a barrel of money.
Everybody was trying to get his shovel
in on Watson's pile.
Mr.. Buryard continues his story as
follows:
'To tell the Gods truth. made up
my mind to this effect:
You are trying to rob Watson. 50 |

cash to me. but he said that some one
must be agreed upon to hold il until
after the Vote.
He then narrated how he fixed mat,
ters with the stakeholder to bolt when
declined to entrust him with the money.
He adds:
Just before the senatorial vote the
lobbyists came over To the house Of rep
resentatives and called me out. He
said that he had the - 800 in his pocket.

men would leave right here. of course
We would not have done So. and were
bound to stay and vote for Martin. But

No he said. the money is in my
pocket. and it you and your partners
will walk over to the hotel right now
before they vote you can have it,
Il would not co. and there it ended.
