agitated. But she gathered her forces to-
gether, and answered with some spirit:
No. 1t is nos true. l am not sorry"
But there was a tremor in her gentle voice,
tenderness in her eyes, which belied her
words.
Il don't believe you" said Cyril as he
knelt down on the floor beside her, Il mean
l don't believe your words. 1 believe your
eyes. And l can read in them that you do
care; that you have been unhappy, lonely
since you quarreled with me-
Then she gave way, and piteous little sob
betrayed the feeling she had been trying to
hide. He stole one of her white hands, which
not even the frost had succeeded in making
red and ugly. and held it tenderly in his own
She cried in silence for a few minutes and
then turned upon him fiercely:
why do you torment me?' she asked,
with something like terror in her voice.
Because 1 love you, Connie: because
know you have had hard life which is not
growing any easier, and because 1 want to
give you some ease, some rest, some happi-
ness, darling"
But you can't. You know you can't. Oh.
Cyril, don't begin it all over again."
But he had both her hands now. He was
holding them in a firm grip looking into her
face, with an expression of longing tender
ness which thrilled her, warmed her in
spite of herself.
MY darling, couldn't you trust me? Don't
you think would make you happy as long
as you live?'
He could see in her eyes the struggle which
was going on between her feelings and her
instincts of duty and honor
Don't you think would make you a kind
husband, Constance?"
With sudden impulse she snatched her
hands away.
''Ah, if you could. If you only couldr' she
said piteously. But you know you can't
you can't. while my husband is aliver
Cyril moved impatiently
Now isn't this nonsense, child?" said he
with an air of indulgent tolerance Your
husband treated you disgracefully; as badly
as man could treat woman. He deserted
you for another woman five years ago.
Since he went to America, three years ago.
you haven't heard whether he is alive or
dead. and have the strongest reason for
thinking he is dead. And yet you must bring
this hideous memory-for he is nothing more
to you-to stand In the way of your own
happiness. for you would be happy with me-
Dent you know it? Come, now, tell me-'
Yes, know it; 1 am sure of it," whis-
pered she. And yet"
well, and yet WHAT"
Il can't do it, 1 can't, can't"
Give me only a reason, and I'll respect
it."
Her head dropped.

you think l asked you to come out be-
cause I had quarreled with that little fiirt?
You were wrong"
Constance flushed slightly, but did not
glance up.
Il asked you because the little goose let
out something which was the last thing she
should have let me know If she wanted me
to forget you. You have been fretting, it
seems"
Brought to task so abruptly, Constance
could not keep the tears out of her eyes.
NO said she, rather feebly.
'Oh, but you have. Now, tell me, is it true
that you are not so hard as you pretend to
be? Is it true, for instance" and he came
nearer to her, that you are sorry you snub-
bed me so numerically that day-you know
when?'

southern part of Shoshone coun ty,
probably not over eighty miles
south of Wallace on an air line, but
over 300 miles by the only route
through a portion of Washington
and back again into Idaho. 1t is
sixty-five miles from Kendrick the
nearest railroad point, and ninety
miles from Lewiston, and sixty
miles from Grangeville. The gold
producing district is extensive,
probably twenty-five by forty
miles, and all the main streams,
with their dozens and scores of
tributaries, have been or are pro-
ducers. 1t is a big district, and
while many of the extremely rich
spots have been worked out years
ago, it is a notable fact that there
is some gold in all parts of it. And
whenever the conditions are such
that large quantities of dirt can be
handled at comparatively small
expense, with good use of water,
and all modern methods and APP
planes, there are many fortunes

In speaking of the big placer en-

Mining company on Orc Elmo
creek in the Pierce City district
the Wallace Miner has the follow
ing regarding that promising camp:
"a word by the way of descrip-
ton of the Pierce City district. 1t
is the oldest gold mining region in
the west outside of California.
Thirty-five years ago the first dis
coveries were made and within a
year no less than 10000 miners
were there. But other discoveries
of the yellow metal-at Florence,
Boise Basin, Warrens, and Alder
and Last Chance gulches in Mon
tana-attracted the rowing gold
hunter, for in some of the last
named camps there was more gold
to the man per day to be taken out
than about Pierce City. The dis
trict, however, even in those early
days, when SO to $40 day was
not considered very big money, al
ways held good population. Still

BILE was supplied with the best

came from White Bird, on the
north, and as far as Warrens on
the south. Mr.. Carver's table was
supplied with everything that was
palatable, and more pleasant and
enjoyable time was never known in
this part of Idaho county. Mr..
Carver is somewhat up in years
but he showed the girls and boys
how to trip the light fantastic toe,
and can yet, if needed, dance quite
as graceful as most young men that
are in practice. The dance was an .
entire success. with one exception.
and that was the postponing of the
dance a short time till Roy Gordon
could recover from a paralytic sem
sation which lasted about an hour
and then all went well again.
