Worthlcssness of a Plan Not Put Into

We cannot expect to be estimated
solely according to our intentions. One
cannot safely estimate himself by what
he intends TO do. A thousand of the
best intentions will amount to nothing
unless accompanied by some actual
doing One act rescued and set on it's
feet out of the land of dreamy inten-
tions is worth more than all the perfect
dreams which never become more than
dreams. Perfect dreaming will not
make perfect work. Only working will
do that. There is a point beyond which
oil farther preparation in the way of
thinking a thing over is useless, and
at that point the only farther prepara-
ton worth speaking of is actually set
ting to work. A touch of firmness and
reality which nothing else can give, is
is impaired to all the rest of mans
intentions when he definitely sets
about the accomplishment of a long
cherished purpose. Something quite
new enters into his hand and his heart
when he gets to work. 1t never comes

CHAPTER III.

They had not far 10 go, but it was a
rough climb, and the young mans first
words were of apology when, spring
ing TO the ground, he came back to seize
her horse by the bit and guide him up
the last few feet over an almost per-
pendicular mass of loose gray rock.
Il would have gone round by the trail
if l had known it was quite so rough;
but we're all right now" he said, turn
ing to try the door Of the rude hut to
which they had come. The horses
were huddled together on a small,
rhomboidal bit of ground formed at the
top of an old dump pile, which went
crumbling away in a sheer descent far
down among the trees, some of which
had been half buried in the lava-lille
flow. At the left yawned the mouth of
tunnel about which appeared no sign
of recent work, while the rough slab
door of the shanty was fastened by a
chain and paddock so rusted that they
seemed TO have been exposed to the
storms Of years. BY no means daunted
by this obstacle, however, the young
man coolly caught up a jagged piece of
rock and in n moment the staple was
I broken and the door thrown open.
"If you will just step inside while
run the horses into the tunnel" he
hastily advised, when he had lifted her
TO the ground. Dorothy needed no
second bidding, but once within the
door she paused, peering about doubt
fully. II was nothing more than a rude
smithy, obviously designed merely for
the sharpening of drills used in the
tunnel, its floor the bare, brown earth,
its only equipment great stone forge
in one corner with an anvil at one side,
few empty candle-boXes, n small pile
of wood, and some picks and drills
thrown down with other undistin-
guishable rubbish in one corner.
ut is not quite the lap of luxury, but
we might do worse" the stranger smil-
ingly observed, as he came back, car
rying his hat filed with pine cones.
while he was further laden with an
armful of broken sticks. "And n fire
will help the looks of things amazingly"
ITO say nothing of the comfort of it,"
Miss Meredith reioined, her teeth chat
tering as she smiled. "How cold it has
grown!"
THAT is the worst of this much
Wanted climate: At has capacity for

II cannot be that He who made
This wondrous world for our delight
Designed that all it's charms should fade
And pass forever from our sight;
That all should wither and decay,
And know on earth no life but this.
With only one finite survey
OF all its beauty and it's bliss.
II cannot be that all the years
OF toll and care and grief we live
Shall find no recompense but tears.
No sweet return that earth can give;
That all that leads us TO aspire
And struggle onward 10 achieve.
With every unattained desire,
Was given only TO deceive.
II cannot be that after all
The mighty conquests OF the mind.
Our thoughts shall pass beyond recall
And leave no record here behind;
That all our dreams of love and fame.
And hopes that time has swept away,
All that enthralled this mortal frame.
Shall not return some other day.
IL cannot be that all the ties
or kindred souls and loving hearts
Are broken when this body dies.
And the immortal mind departs;
That no serener liGht shall break
At last upon our mortal eyes.
To guide us as our footsteps make

after wearisome silence, "for you TO be

The dude stared stonily and gasped
little.

The glance that she directed toward
