often presented itself to mental view, to be

with tremor in her voice. 'sSam has always

finally he succeeded in postponing
his replies and tasting q little of
the sweetness born with the first empha-

heart. As he walked onward toward his
home, seeing its solitary light by window,
which his thoughtful mother left burning for
him-for youth looks up and scans its path
but slightly-he also saw Orion waging his
sturdy fight in heaven against brutal Taurus,
and felt rather than reasoned that his ways
were steadily pure; saw the six Pleiad sisters

came back the scriptural quotation and the
nasal tone of the deliverer: when consider

stars which Thou hast ordained, what is man

and in doubt blushed again, but Dora ap-

peared little annoyed.
Arthur found business enough upon the
farm laid out to keep him employed through
the week succeeding the close of school, and
his failure to see Dora seemed almost like
neglect, Although there was no bond Of
words between them, there was the under
standing implied in their acts, which seemed
to the young man as binding upon him.
When upon the next Sunday evening he made
a call, therefore, he was surprised to find that
Dora had gone to the village the day before
for visit among her old acquaint-
ances, which might last for some
time. Anna observed his disappointment, and
endeavored to entertain him with talk of the
latest books and Of his own aspirations and
prospects. She showed far more interest in
him than ever before, and showed him more
of himself on his intellectual side than he had
clearly discovered yet. She assured him that
at first she had thought of him as of any other
young man upon casual acquaintance. but
that his kindness to her children and their af-
lection for him had touched her heart, and of
late she had studied him more closely than
he had thought and was convinced he had a
promising future, if he was wise. kept up his

here and talk and visit just as you have done
freely and often, even il there is no attractive
miss to spice the visits. Will you come and
have me for a sister?'' she asked with frank
and enchanting smile, and Arthur, who had
greatly admired her before, promised, and
expressed in an awkward way his thanks for
the privileges so bestowed, without observing
that she who had just cautioned him against
''all kinds Of entanglements" had effectually
landed him high and dry without struggle,
or thinking what she would do with him.
And although he had far different visit
than he had expected, and felt a little hurt
that Dora had not In some way sent IN

himself, and far less disappointed than he
cared to own.

a Vast Deal In. Dlnmonds.

Less than three months ago the en-
tire stock Of the company controlling
the output of the world was sold to a
London syndicate for SG,250, 900 the
price per carat being in advance of
that paid at large sale just previous
to that time. The stock of the com-
pany then advanced several per cent.
and the advance is still maintained.
1t is also untrue that shrewd buyers
can now obtain small stones at bar
gain in the European markets. The
market was stripped of well-cut stones
by American buyers last year, and the
tendency OF prices is now upward, the
fine goods being bought up by Eu-
ropeans as rapidly as the cutters can
turn them ont. There is no ilnmedi-
ate prospect OF a decline from present
prices. Joseph Barlnato represented
the London syndicate that purchased
this big stock of diamonds, and deal
ers say that they do not anticipate any
depreciation IN the market.
