an kind of halfway allypathy."
The ticket agent, aware of Elsie's
presence, gave the man nudge.
Elsie lad left her seat and was talk
ing in low voice to the man who
sat shivering over the fire.
Are you warmer-now. Putnam"
she asked, when the men had disap.
peared in the Office.

His eyes shot swift, inquiring
glances, and she knew what he would
ask.
'She was better when l came away.

lit would have been murder if she
had died. l called myself MUIR
derer wien l left the house. / didn't
care what became of me-"
He detailed his miserable expert
ence before he came to RObey. He
had gone down and down until he be-
came a very tramp. While the forest
fires were raging, and the sun one
day was waded in smoke, he lost his
bearings, and for days he travelled in
circles 1t was night-fall when he
come into the village. 1t was rain
ing, else he would have sought shell
ter in the fields or under a grain
stack. Fathers Of families glowered
at him and pointed with their fingers
toward the county house, five miles
across the grain belt At the PlYmp-
ton cottage young girl looked pitt
fully at him, and begged that he
might stay; and from that time he
had loved her as he could love.
81 am not worthy Of you; we ought
never to have met" he groaned,
'.How can you say that and think
of the dead children? Was it a bar
gain for food and shelter? want to
love you; you must live so that 1 can;
you must let me help you do it, We
must live together. DR.. Gay will
help you to get work. Will 60 back
to FORSYTH will do anything-but
we must not live apart"
Putnam Hobart came to the Beth
esda Hospital and, after a lingering
illness, died. DR.. Hobart went away
with the body and after a week re-
turned and began the old routine
again. DR.. Gay watched her day by
day as she moved in bla. k about the
wards. Three months, six months, a
year went by, and then again he told
his love to the woman who now was
tree.
Forsyth, Robey, Bethesda, the
four graves, the great effort-all
seemed to cluster about this moment
of Els e's broken life. She had made
the ascent alone. Should she go on
alone? She hesitated long: but one
night when the sun went down after
the long day. with a smile born of
sorrow. but born too of love and con-
f1dence, she took the hand which was
held out to her.

Rural Mail Delivery.

Rural mail delivery has been
brought to notice again by an appro-
priation of twenty thousand dollars
tor ''exrerin enting" with the plan,
which has been attached to the regu-
lar postoftice appropriation bill
The average member of Congress
ought to know without further ex-
pertinent ng that the entire popuIa-
zion of our rural districts would be
directly benefited by regular mail de-
livery to an extent which would far
more than compensate for any extra
cost which might be assumed. Moth
ing so broadens and develops a man
as a constant acquaintance with the
affairs OF the worlI. The more Sc
cluded a man is the narrower he is
apt to be. The seclus on of farm
life drives many wide-awake, ener-
getic man to leave his farm and take
less independent position, and one
less healthful physically and morally,
in some great city. Rural mail de-
livery would do much to counterfeit
this undesirable tendency and to eIe-
vate the intellectual and social status
of our ountry at large.
The plan has long been in success
full operation in ENGLAND, France,
and Germany, and need not be con-
sidered an experiment in any sense.
Still we are glad to see enough inter-
est manifested to try the plan, even
in a small wav.-Farm, Field and
EireSlde.

Robey," he said, pointing to a dis
patch. 'It is impossible for me to
go / can't leave no. 6; and there
/ are two critical caies in the city.
Will you go?"
Eyes. if you will trust me-"
Gas l would myself" was the doc
tors reply.
Soon the train for Robey was
bounding westward, with Elsie
aboard. Somehow her thoughts went
back to the happy days following her
marriage. A thousand images Of her
husband came to her mind. With
all his faults he had meant to be kind;
in other circumstances, all would
have been different; and although
she was in the first flush Of success
she would have given up all for him
even now.
At last the Robey stat on was
called. AS she aIigbted she was met
by boy carrying a smoky lantern
and a man muffied in fur. AS Elsie
stepped forward, the man stared at
her cuTiously.
