With q loud cry, North fell upon his knees.
as worn and pale as they, stood Mat
thew North and Ralph Monckton-her
Ralph. She murmured the words again,
and now there was no pain in them, only
sweetness and delicious joy and thank
fulness. Soiled with toll and dropping
with WEAKNESS, yet how noble, how
grand, how proud he looked! All, it
was little wonder that the women should
crowd about him to kiss his hand, or
that the men should cheer again and
again. But he was going to speak.
My friends she heard him say,
lido not give all the credit to me. Here
is one,'' pointing to Matthew North
"who has a far better claim to your
gratitude than l. He did more than any
of us. -
North's haggard face grew yet more
pale. He essayed to reply, but his voice
broke, and he turned abruptly away
without word, while the crowd shout
ed-some of the very men who had at
tempted to take his life but few hours
before louder than any.
AS if the magnetism in the girls in
tense gaze warned him of her presence
there, Monckton raised his eyes, met
hers and smiled-a rare, beautiful smile
that set her heart throbbing violently
and sent the warm blood to her cheek.
He made his way rapidly toward her.
You here yet, Imogene:' he said.
You must be very tired. 1t is after
midnight"
II could not go until knew you We're
safe, " she replied softly. But what is
this?' she exclaimed, looking at the
hand he had pressed. "It is blood. You
are wounded, Ralph
mo" he said, showing her his LAGER
ated palms. II am unused to manual
labor, and my skin has made rough ac-
quaintances with the pick and shovel. "
She drew close to him with caress-
ing movement. You have nothing
more to do here?" she asked. Then

at variance with Francis of France, dc

him with n very fierce and menacing mes

great confidence, and whom he believed
would be the most proper person to carry
out his design.
His plelate, being informed of the nature
of his mission and fearing for his lft
should he treat with Francis in the haught
manner his master desired, represented (
the king the danger to which he was expos

mission.

RalpA Monckton and his affianced
| wife we're walking in the garden of the
mansion of which she was soon to be
the mistress. In the features and man
ner of both happiness was clearly ex-
| pressed, though in different way. With
| him it was proud confidence, blended
with tender protectiveness. With her
it was sweet humility and that gentle
yielding up of personality which is, aft.
er all, woman's real strength. She
hung upon his arm as if she feared he
| might melt away and be lost to her. .She
watched his lips as he spoke, sometimes
thinking of his words, and as often
thinking how handsome he was. At
such times she laid her cheek upon his
| coat sleeve-where women get such
| charming tricks 1 can't imagine. And
once or twice as he talked she took his
hand and brushed her lips across it, an
| act of delicious homage which caused
him-perhaps it was meant to do So
to draw her close to him and kiss her.
1t was at such moment that third
person suddenly appeared before them
in the path. 1t was Matthew North,
pale and wan, as one recovering from
long illness, but with calm eye and COM
posed manner, and neatly attired, as if
for journey.
mr.. Joyce told me should find you
here he said. 81 have come to bid
you adieu."
You are going to leave us, Mat

Yes" he replied; II have an offer
as assistant engineer at Allegheny
Can you not make up your mind to
stay here, North" said Monckton.
1--WE have both made mistakes and have
misunderstood each other. 1 need the
assistance of a man like you, North.
Can we not work together i'll tuture?'
NO." responded the miner. with
something of his old imperious manner.
1.-THE men here no longer look upon me
with respect, and though I have been
all wrong in my dealings with you, and
1 freely admit it, yet l cannot submit to
sink into the position of an underling. I
must lead; cannot follow. Here there
is nothing more for me to do. 1 foresee
that your rule will be wise, just and
firm. I must go where men are suffer

The most successful way of proceeding
is to beat the whites and yolks of the
eggs separately until both are light; then
add to the yolks one tablespoonful of
milk for each egg and the frothed whites.
Stir lightly together and turn into the
omelet pan, which must be ready on the
stove, with just enough hot, browning
butter in it to keep the omelet from
sticking to the pan. AS the omelet Gets
slip thin bladed knife under one edge
and lift it enough to let the uncooked
egg run under. AS it hardens roll up a
little and turn out on plate. Do not
wait for it to be entirely cooked. The
heat remaining in it will make it solid
without hardening. No salt must be
added until the omelet is cooked, as it
will make it tough. SO made, an omelet
should be a light, puffy mass, brown on
the outside and golden hearted within.

Il am going with you, Ralph.
Come, then"
Giving rein to their horses, they rode
toward the village at rapid gallop.
AS they drew near the works evil
dences of a sudden and tremendous ca
lamity increased every moment. The
single street leading to the main shaft
of the mines was crowded with men,
women and children, running distract
eddy to and fro, cursing, weeping and
praying: There were endless shakings
of clinched fists in the air as If to in

Here and there gangs of laborers,
with picks, crowbars and safety lamps,
pushed their way sternly through
throngs that sought to stay them with
questions. Philosophic idlers at the
door of the village tavern wagged sod
der skulls with funereal satisfaction of
prophecies fulfilled. And through all
this nightmare chaos a human current
flowed steadily on toward that dreadful
spot, where, far down the black and
gaping shaft, in the bowels of the earth,
a score of men were already dead or
preparing to die in the embrace of the
pitiless flood, while overhead in the

ty about room of this sort is that it can
be made immensely effective and at the
same time exhaust but little money.
The inexpensive china and the low
priced stuffs are good in color and excel
lent in design, which is the great reason
of the popularity these goods have at

of course the floor, and if that and the
walls are correct the rest will follow

Here and there place bracket support

your divan a fiat screen of bamboo, but
do not put pictures in this one room. For
the floor select either plain white Japa-
nese mating or mating which shows
quaint figures here and there, and throw
down upon it few jute rugs.
Buy only light bamboo chairs, which
are in perfect harmony with the general
scheme, and select one or two footstools
of the same material, but be quite sure
that each one makes comfortable seat.
In one corner erect your tea table, and
there let as much color concentrate rs
your purse allows. Let the table itself
be of bamboo, with the two shelves COW
cred with mating, and select your serv-
ice of japanese ware. Into the ceiling
screw a strong lamp hook and hang to
it big umbrella, from which the han
die has been cut, and beneath this let
your table and the one chair for the
maker of the tea stand side by side. Sc
lect your kettle of japanese bronze.
Lastly, when all the rest is complete,
hang bamboo portieres at the door and
curtains of cujafouri cloth at the win
