The Year 1897.

Is 1t not q fact that many OF uS
are starting on this wheel of time
in most aimless way, not having
a defined idea of what we want to
accomplish this year. Can we
succeed under such a state of
mindi Is a question the CoUR-
Ter puts TO its readers. How
many of us have resolved upon
more activity upon our parts,
than we have ever put forth in
any year of our lives. Our time
is the capital that most of us
operate upon, and it becomes us
well, to economize in it. We that
have many hours of leisure usual.
ly have light purses, if any at all.
but far different from this, is the
person of industrious hand and
active mind. This is a country in
which plenty abounds, and for
one to want only shows the list
less life he lives.
We time swervers should keep
a diary for only short while and
we would see what our trouble is
and would be able to make
amends, by which we would be
profted, to say nothing of our
creditors and friends. We look
upon people as being worth just
what their time brings them and
a man hose time is worth moth

sight of an active people and is
detested above all others. If

of time with some of us until

will make it known to the world
despite our efforts to hide it. We
see young men whose credit
would hardly be good for their
supper, spending days or even
weeks in lettering on the streets
such is a ruinuous habit and the
parents who thus indulge, are an
enemy to their children, to soci-
ETY. and even the commonwealth
that offers them protection. We
see farmers whose premises we
know are neglected and whose
skinny horses are an index to
their prosperity, come tb town
and patrol the streets for hours,
hunting someone to whom they
can talk politics and temoan the
hard times, when if questioned
about what he had that was ready

be that their good wives had

CHAPTER III.

George Hagar was the first to move.
He turned and looked ut Mrs. Detlor.
His mind was full Of the strangeness of
the situation-fhis man and woman
meeting under such circumstances after
IL years. in which no lines Of their lives
had ever crossed. But he saw, almost
unconsciously, that she had dropped his
rose. He STOPPED, picked il up and gave
II To her. With singular coolness-
for, though pale. she showed no excite.
ment-she quietly arranged the flower
ut her throat. still looking ut the figure
on the platform. A close observer would
occasionally have found something cyn-
ical-cvcn sinister-in Mark Telford's
clear cut. smoothly chiscled face. but
mt the moment when he wheeled slowly
AMI faced these two there was i'm it
nothing hut what was strong. refined
and even noble. His eyes. dark and full,
were set deep under well hung brows,
and duskiness In the flesh round them
gave them softness as well as power.
Withal there was q melancholy rs strik-
ing rs 10 was unusual i'm him.
In spite of herself Mrs Dctlor felt her
whatever this man was to her now, he
once was her lover. She grew hot to her
fingers. AS she looked the air seemed
20 palpitatc round her. and Mark Tclford
20 be standing in its shining hot surf
tall and grand. But, ON the instant,
there came into this lens the picture she
had seen in George Hagar's studio that
morning. At that moment Mildred
Margravc and Baron were entering mt
the other end of the long, lonely nave.
The girl stopped all ut once and pointed
toward Telford as he stood motionlcss,
uncovered. see" she said, ''how fine,
how noble he looks!"
Mrs. Dctlor turned for an instant and
saw her.
Tclford had gazed calmly, seriously,
Mt Mrs. Detlor. wondering ut nothing,
possessed by u strange. quieting feeling.
There was, for the moment, 10 thought
OF right or wrong, misery or disaster.
past or future. only-this is she! In the
wild whistle of arctic winds he had
sworn that he would cease to remember,
but her voice ran laughing through them
IA IL did through the blossoms Of the
locust trees at Tellavie, and he could
not forget. When the mists rose from
the blue lake on summer plain. the
rosy breath of the sun bearing them up
and scattering them like thistledown,
he said that he would think no more Of
her: but. stopping to drink. he saw her
face in the water, as in the hill spring
mt Tcllavie, and he could not forget.
When he rode swiftly through the long
prairie grass, each pulse afre. keen.
joyful wind playing on him rs he tracked
the buffalo. he said he had forgotten.
but he felt her riding beside him as she
