I'm sure It's very kind OF you to have
come SO promptly" continued Mrs. Du-
rant tearfully-she was a lady who wept
easily and copiously. "As you may in
agine. l am terribly anxious. To think
that. after keeping my own carriage I
should come to this!"
"Mother!" murmured Dora in tone
of distress.
Mr.. Chillingworth murmured condo
lence fumbled his hat and look ed at Dora
under his lashes.

at, and he was no exception to the rule, if
his face was an index to his mind
Obviously he was unused to women and
a little frightened of them.
The proposal l am to submit to you is
prosperous gentleman farmer, as 1 dare
say you know; also he is young bach
elor and quite alone, and for some time
has longed for panionship-for home
in a wider sense than that afforded by the
walls and furniture To put it in plain
words, he wants wife
"A few months ago he received, with
the portraits of yourself and family, pho
tograph of Miss Dora here, and-well he
fell IN love with it. Very simple of him,
perhaps you think, but you must renem-
Der his great loneliness and let that be his
excuse.
"Now l come to the point. If Miss Dora
would consent to marry him, Of course she
would then be able to make any arrange
ment that seemed best to her AS to the
comfort of her mother and sisters | am
about to return to the colony and would
take charge of her during the voyage. and
on her arrival she could stay with friends

"Nonsense, Dora" said her mother

Ralph must be kind, You will be provided

this terrible anxiety. You cannot dream
Of refusing u
"Of course" put in George Chilling
worth slowly, If Miss Dora has a decided
aversion to the scheme, l am sure my

inclination forced in any way, and no doubt

Inadequate, Colonel CloWry, vice-presi-
dent and general superintendent of the

the facts.
There need be no fear" he said,
Eve shall be as well off as if the

truth is the Western Union has as
many wires into AMI out of ST. Louis
now as before the storm. There has
been more or less mistatement in the
press on this subject, all doubtless I'M
Intentional, yet sometimes amusing.
'On the night of the storm we were
never for one moment without COM
munication with st. Louis. OF course
we lost some wires, and, of course, we
could not handle all the business of

we did transmit matter continuously

The board of control of the West

the two great electric concerns had

numbered over $780, and it is esti-

have been obtained in damages. This
ends all litigation between the two
companies and promises a new lease
