sleep again. his mOGnof was ever IN his
mind, or when he was not thinking of
her he was troubled about the prisoners,
and he cursed himself for the part he
had taken in their capture. Having
bafhed, he returned to the campfire,
and though it was out of his way he
passed near the tree under which Alice
and Clara were sitting. The former did
not raise her white face. There was no
need to do 90. He could see the unutter-
able anguish of its expression, and
again he mentally cursed himself. He
loved Alice Blanchard with all the
fervor and blindness of his impulsive
nature, and he imagined that when she
was wholly under his protection he
could win her. But he had learned his
mistake. He looked at Clara in an in
definite way, as one preoccupied stares
into space. He saw the slender, girlish
figure and the sad, wondering eyes, ard
lie staggered back and woke up to a
realization Of the situation. He could
have sworn for the moment that his sis
ter Nora was before him. Like one
fascinated and moving against weak
ening will, he went over and with un-
covered head stood before the sisters.
Still Alice never looked up. She could
not have been aware of his presence.
The terrible grief in her brave pure
heart controlled every thought of her
brain. The introverted look could take
no cognizance of the external world.
She did not return his bow, made no
sign to indicate that she was aware of
his presence, but she was thrilled when
Ne fell on his knees and said with O
choking voice:
For Gods sake, let me speak to
you!"
"Speak," replied Clara. "We are
helpless to prevent you.
Il do not blame you for hating me-"
he stammefed and rising stood with de-
| jected head. 81, and / alone, am to
blame for the misfortune that has be-
fallen you. In my heart, which is not yet
wholly dead to the carly teachings of a
well beloved mother, realize my own
degradation, and come to offer you my
aid
Your aid! You offer your aid!'' said
Alice i'll low, sad tones that pierced him
like knife thrusts.

''Then you must be blind If you can
not see what we want" she said, avert
ing ner face and waving her hand as if
she would dismiss him.

step. Il ought not to have asked that

Alice interrupted him and in a way
that startled him as he had never been
startled in his life.

Great lido Waves.

Those who see the rise and fall of
the tides in our Atlantic harbors sell
dom think Of the wonderful career of
the moon raised ocean-waves which
cause the tidal hux and refux. Such
Dillows not only cross the sea, but flow
from ocean to ocean. and in this way
complicated movements are set going.
Thus, as Mr.. Vaughan Cornish has re-
Gently reminded English readers, once
in every twelve hours the moon raises
a tide billow in the southern Indian
Ocean. When this billow passes the
Cape Of Good Hope, at noon, its success
sor is already born, and by the time
the first billow has reached the Azores
Islands, at midnight, the second is
rounding the Cape, and a third has
come into existence in the southern
ocean. BY A o'clock in the morning
following its passage of the Cape the
tide bilIow reaches the English Chan
mel and there the shallow water de-
lays II SO much that 1t does not arrive
at the Straits of Dover until 10 a. m.
Here the narrowing Channel causes the
tide to rise very high and almost puts
an end to the wave. In the meantime
another branch of the billow runs
around the western side Of the British
Islands, rounds the north point of Scot
land, and moves slowly down the east
ern coast of England, until 1t finally
flows up the Thames and laps the
wharves Of London.

Had Many Offers.

Africa Is the greatest place In the
world for the new woman and the old
maid. For the former it has it's
Boulogne in a total eclipse, and for
the old maids it is a tropical paradise,
where young, unmarried men, bloom
in wild, tangled luxury the year
around. Mrs. May French Sheldon, the
African explorer, writer and lecturer,
is neither new woman nor and old
maid, and yet she had sixty proposals
of marriage in one day from sixty
separate and distinct chiefs, each of
whom was more stalwart and ardent
than the others, and Mrs. French Shell
Ion was compelled to give each separ-
ately the marble heart. And as for
the new woman, why, tho African ex-
plorer says they can give our brand
newest bloomer-rigged species any
number OF cards ard spades and then
discount them. Bebe Bwana, the
woman master, or the white queen
man, as the merry sultans and dusky
chiefs called Mrs. French Sheldon, has
heart of that dark continent than any
ether white woman has ever done, and
the other day she told a reporter a
number of interesting experiences
which she had among the many tribes
she visited.
The sixty offers of marriage were
made one afternoon after she had form
ally received the sultan Of one OF the
interior districts in her tent-which
tent, by the way, Mrs. French Sheldon
always arranged as near like boudoir
in well-appointed private house as
was possible. She was the first white
woman who had ever invaded that
district and the sultan appreciated the
honor and in his poor weak way tried
to give a sort of torchlight procession
and strawberry festival in her honor.
His resources, however, were extreme
ly limited, and after he had sacrificed
double portion of goats and had
salaamed before her until he was
threatened with curvature of the spine
he felt that something was still lack
ing and that his guest was not thor
oughly enjoying herself. Suddenly a
happy thought struck him. Whenever a
struggling white man had wandered in
to his preserves it had been his GUS
tom to unload sixty or eighty wives
upon him and then dismiss him with
sultanic BLESS you, my children"
Why not reverse the ceremony with
the woman master? ne argued to his
secretary Of state for war. The secre-
tary thought it was capital idea and
the chiefs of all the tribes or assembly
districts were ordered before his ma
jesty and ordered to propose to the
Belle Bwana at once.
