81 don't know greater shock" said
the young woman thoughtfully, when
the front door had closed after Maine
and we were together on the veranda-
hardly that of seeing what illness has
done to the face-than coming upon a
man whom we have always known
with mustache or beard and finding
him with none. Sides of his character
we had never suspected, weaknesses of
will that have always been hidden, are
suddenly laid bare. sometimes
think" she added, laughingly, that
full beard to many man is like vine
to a crumbling wall--a provision of ma
ture to cover that which otherwise
could not have been relied upon. With
out his beard, how many a patriarch
revealed the despot, how many phil
anthropist the selfish schemer! For,
after all, it is the lower part of the
face that reveals the man you meet
every day. You get his intellect, the
qualities he exercises consciously, his
power to think and plan, all in the
upper part of the face. This may be
fine, almost Greek in line and proper
ton, but the lower part of the face is
the text to a mans nature; his refine
ment, his origin even, all are written
there. -Harper's Bazaar.

cLouosp HIS LIFE.
Terrible Ending of Turkey Shoot In while Oh
an Old Stage Driver Participated.

Terrible Ending of a Turkey Shoot In WIFI h
an Old stage Driver Participated.
To the pioneers of North Dakota,
particularly that class who had occa-
sion to ''stage it, back in the days
when the snort of the iron horse had
not been heard on the then sparsely
settled prairies, the name of "Bilp
Gidley was as familiar as that of Col
John III. Stevens is to the Minneapolis
tan. Bill was a stage driver--one of
those great, big, good-natured souls,
whose face dilated between broad
grin and a hearty guffaw. His arrival
at stage station was the signal for
merriment from the Office to the
kitchen, from cellar to garnet. He
was privileged character. Bill Gid
ley, Notwithstanding his rough, I'M
polished manner, was always the gen.
tleman, and had as tender heart as
ever beat in human breast Gidley's
friends little thought that a cloud
would sweep across the life of the big
stage driver which would forever hide
from view the smile which had been
for many years a light along the
route
Thirteen years ago, on Thanksgiving
day, there was turkey shooting
match at Bismarck. Bill was there;
he went to see the sport, and, while
not an expert shot, Flowed he'd just
kill off what few turkeys these ERE
fellows have got" After a number of
unsuccessful shots BilPs friends began
to make sport of the craftsmanship.
One of them, pointing to a little out
building standing some thirty rods dis
tant, remarked: bill, you can't hit
that shack over there" Gidley clapped
his rifle to his shoulder, pulled the
trigger, the door to the shack swung
open and Bills best friend fell at the
entrance-shot through the heart
That was thirteen years ago. Gidley
is still staging it in the Black Hills
country. but his old-time friends would
hardly recognize him. The face once
wreathed in smiles is picture of sad
ness; no more are heard the jolly
stories and pleasantries that used to
lend a light to the station. A heart
broken man, he passes his leisure time
in comparative solitude.
