Then, when she was gone beyond re- call, he chanced one day to put on the coat he wore when the letters and pa- per declaring his misfortune came to him. He found his brothers letter; he opened it and read it. It was the letter of man who knew how to appreciate at their proper value the misfortunes as the fortunes of life. While Frank Ar mour read he came to feel for the first time that his brother Richard had suf- fered, maybe, from some such misery as had come to him through Julia Sher- wood. It was a dispassionate, manly letter, relieved by gentle wit and limiting with careful kindness that sudden blow was better for man than a lifelong thorn in his side. Of Julia Sherwood he had nothing particularly bitter to say. He delicately suggested that she acted according to her nature, and that i'll the seesaw of life Frank had had sore blow, but this was to be borne.
 The letter did not say too much. It did not magnify the difficulty. It did not depreciate it. It did not even direct ly counsel. It was vaholesomely, tender ly judicial. Indirectly 1t dwelt upon the steadiness and manliness of Franks character. Directly, lightly and with out rhetoric it enlarged upon their own comradeship. It ran over pleasantly the days of their boyhood when they were hardly ever separated. It made distinct, yet with no obvious purpose, how good were friendship a.a confidence-which might be the most unselfish thing in the world-between two men. With the letter before him Frank Armour saw his act ill new light.
 AS we said it is possible If he had read 1t on the day when his trouble came to him he had not married Lali nor sent her to England on this-to her involuntary mission of revenge. It is possible also that there came to him the first vague conception of the wrong he had done this Indian girl, who un- doubtedly married him because she cared for him after her heather fashion, while he had married her for nothing that was commendable, not even for passion, which may be pardoned, nor for vanity, which has its virtues. He had had his hour with circumstance. Circumstance would have its hour with him in due time. Yet there was no ex- traordinary revulsion. He was still an gry, cynical and very sore. He would see the play out with consistent firm ness. He almost managed smile when a letter was handed to him some weeks later, bearing his solicitors assurance that Mrs. Frank Armour and her maid had been safely bestowed on the Aphro- dite for England. This was the first act in his tragic comedy.

cate matter-he thought it would come better from his mother.
 But when he took action it was too late. Miss Sherwood naively declared that she had not known her own heart and that she did not care for Frank any more. She wept little and was soothed by motherly Mrs. Armour, who was inwardly glad, though she knew the matter would cause Frank pain, and even General Armour could not help showing slight satisfaction, though he was innocent of any deliberate action to separate the two Straightway Miss Sherwood dispatched letter to the wilds of Canada, and for @ week was an unengaged young person. But she was no doubt consoled by the fact that for some time past she had complete con trol of Lord Haldwell's emotions. At the end of the week her perceptions were justified by Lord Haldwell's proposal, which, with admirable tact and obvious demureness, was accepted.
 Now Frank was wandering much in the wilds, so that his letters and pa pers went careering about after him, and some that came first were the last to reach him. That was how he receiv- cd a newspaper announcing the mar riage of Lord Haldwen and Julia Sher- wood at the same time that her letter, written in estimable English and with admirable feeling, came, begging for a release from their engagement, and, toward its close, assuming, with a charming regret, that all was over, and that the last word had been said between them
 He was sitting fin the traders room at Fort Charles when the carrier came with the mails. He had had some suc- cessful days hunting buffalo with Eye of the Moon and little band of metis, had had long powwow in Eye-of the Moons lodge, had chatted gayly with Lai, the daughter, and was now pre- pared to enjoy heartily the arrears of correspondence and news before him. He ran his hand through the letters and papers, intending to classify them inn mediately, according to such handwrit- ing as he recognized and the dates on the envelopes. But as he did so he saw newspaper from which the wrapper was partly torn. He also saw note in the margin directing him to certain page The note was in Richards hand writing. He opened the paper at the page indicated and saw the account of the marriage. His teeth clinched on his cigar; his face turned white; the pa- per fell from his fingers. He gasped, his hands spread out nervously, then caught the table and held it as though to steady himself
 The trader rose. ''You are ill.," he said. "Have you bad news?" He glano- ed toward the paper.
 Slowly Armour folded the paper up and then rose unsteadily. "Gordon," he said, "give me glass of brandy , He turned toward the cupboard in the room. The trader opened it, took out

bottle and put it on the table beside Armour, together with glass and some water. Armour poured out a stiff draft, added very little water and drank 1t. He drew great sigh and stood looking at the paper.
 "Is there anything can do for you, MT. Armour?' urged the trader.
 Nothing, thank you, nothing at all. Just leave the brandy here, will you? I feel knocked about, and I have to go through the rest of these letters"
 He ran his fingers through the pile, turning it over hastily, as If searching for something. The trader understood. He was cool headed Scotsman He not inquired into, and that men must have their bad hours alone. He glanced at the brandy debatingly, but presently turned and left the room in silence. In his own mind, however, he wished he might have taken the brandy without being discourteous. Armour had dis covered Miss Sherwood's letter. Before he opened it he took a little more bran- dy. Then he sat down and read 1t de- iberately. The liquor had steadied him. The fingers of one hand even drum med on the table. But the face was drawn, the eyes were hard. and the look of him was altogether pinched After he had finished this he looked for others from the same hand. He found none Then he picked out those from his mother and father. He read them grimly.
 Once he paused as he read his moth er's letter and took great gulp of plain brandy. There was something very like a sheer on his face when he finished 1t He read the hollowness of the sympathy extended to him. He understood the far from adroit references to Lady Agnes Martling. He was very bitter. He read no more letters, but took up The Morn ing Post again and read it slowly through. The look of his face was not pleasant. There was small looking glass opposite him. He caught sight of himself in it. He drew his hand across his eyes and forehead, as though he was in miserable dream. He looked again. He could not recognize himself.
 He then bundled the letters and pa-
 
 tion was drawn to one letter. He picked 1t up. It was from Richard. He started to break the seal, but paused The strain of the event was too much He winced. He determined 9hot to read 1t then, to wait until he had recovered himself. He laughed now painfully. It had been better for him-it had maybe averted what people used to term his tragedy-had he read his brother's let ter at that moment, for Richard Ar mour was a sensible man, notwith- standing his peouliarities, and perhaps the most sensible words he ever wrote were in that letter thrust unceremoni- ously into Frank Armour's pocket
 Armour had received terrible blow. He read his life backward. He had no future. The liquor he had drunk had not fevered him It had not wildly ex- cited him. It merely drew him up to

tual friends and that she knew the Ar mours he spoke little more freely to her regarding the Indian wife and told her what he believed was the cause of the marriage.
 Mrs. Townley was woman-a girl -of uncommon gentleness of disposi- tion, and in spite of her troubles in clined to view life with sunny eye. She had known of Frank Armour's en- gagement with Miss Julia Sherwood, but she had never heard the sequel. If this was the sequel-well, it had to be faced. But she was almost tremulous with sympathy when she remembered Mrs. Armour and Franks gay, fashion able sister, Marion, and contemplated the arrival of this Indian girl at Grey hope. She had always liked Frank Ar mour, but this made her angry with him, for on second thought she was not more sorry for him and for his peo- pie than for Lali, the wife. She had the true instinct of womanhood, and she supposed that a heather like this could have feelings to be hurt and life to be wounded as herself or another. At least she saw what was possible ill the future when this Indian girl came to understand her position, only to be ac- oomplished by contact with the new life so different from her past.
 Both she and Lambert decided that she was very fine looking, notwithstand- ing her costume. She was slim and we'll built. with modest bust and shapely feet and ankles Her eyes were large, meditative and intelligent. her features distinguished. She was goodly product of her race. being descended from line of chiefs and chieftainesses, broken only ill the case of her grandfather, as we have said. Her hands, the two kind ly inquisitors decided, were almost her best point They were perfectly made, slim, yet plump, the fingers tapering, the wrist supple. Mrs. Townley then and there decided that the girl had pos abilities. But here she was, an Indian, with few signs of civilization or that breeding which seems to white people the only breeding fit for earth or heaven.
 Mrs. Townley did not need Lambert's suggestion that she should try to ap- proach the girl, make friends with her thLu pAOPssAO HUI All oOAAO oAASho uSBlSS for the strange career before her.
 Mrs. Townley had an infinite amount of tact She knew 1t was best to ap. proach the attendant first This she did, and to the surprise of other lady pas sengers received no rebuff. Her advance was not, however, rapid. Mackenzie had had her instructions. When she found that Mrs. Townley knew Francis Armour and his people, she thawed a little more, and then very hesitatingly she introduced her to the Indian wife. Mrs. Townley smiled her best, and there were many who knew how attract i've she could be at such moment.
 There was a slight pause, in which Lali looked at her meditatively, earnest ly, and then those beautiful wild fingers glided out and caught her hand and held it, but she spoke no word. She only looked inquiringly, seriously, at her new found friend and presently dropped the blanket away from her and sat up firmly, as though she felt she was not altogether an alien now and had right to hold herself proudly among white people, as she did in her own country and with her own tribe, who had greatly admired her Certain

cratic managers OF the state campaign

Senator Pettigrew by Bishop Marty,
Catholic Bishop for the diocese OF South
Dakota. The Bishop Is a personal
friend of Pettigrew's, and is taking an
interest in his reelection. During the
campaign Bishop Marty has sen out
letters to some of the priests under his
Jurisdiction, at the head of which was
the republican legislative ticket, asking
the priests to use their Influence for the
election of the above candidates for the
Legislature to the end that Pettigrew
may be sent back to the senate In an
interview to-day Bishop Marty said:

june, 80, 1891. Under the terms of his
contract he was to furnish the govern

Owing to the drought in that section or

grain, and the government went into
the markets and bought what it needed.

between the contract price and what it
had to pay, the total mount being s23,-
