the ground, the man upon whom she
had leaned-perhaps foolishly-to re-
deem the past had forgotten her, and
the sgony Of her disappointment was
supreme.
But the habits of four years are not
TO be shaken of in an hour, and the
striking Of the neighboring clocks re-
minded Dorothy that she must return
to dinner, but as her cab bore her
through the slippery streets the whirling
wheels seemed to repeat, las the tree
falls so it shall lie" Dorothy shud-
dered, but still the words rang remorse-
lessly through her brain, following her
up the broad staircase at Belper Lodge
and into the quiet of her own room.
Then she faced the situation. She
was at least necessary to Lord Bew-
davon. and he, to whom she owed so
much, should not find her wanting. He
| loved her, and John had forgotten. Per-
haps she deserved that he should forget
But when she was dressing for dinner
the pathos of tho situation came TO her
suddenly. II shall be sentimental for
once" she thought Tonight I shall
wear mourning for my dead love; to-
morrow 1 shall forget.
The bright eyed French maid could
not understand madam's inexplicable
desire to wear the only black gown she
| possessed that night. a bright dress,
the pink and white. would drive away
madam S migraine, but Dorothy silenced
her objections, and in silent protest the
woman clothed her in the somber garb
she had chosen.
Dorothy had reached the first landing
ON her way to the drawing room when
she heard the hall door open and
"Yes, my lord. from tho footman in
reply to an eager question. The next
moment Lord Bewdavon was beside
her.
"Ah. you have seen the papers," he
said, touching her dress. 81 was too
worried to telegraph. How thoughtful.
| how good of you, Dorothy" " he went
on sadly. "You have worn this tonight
because you knew how much loved
him." And his eyes filed with tears.
Your father she stammered.
HE died last night. He would have

you, Dorothy. shall never forget your
sympathy" Again he touched the black
dress, then kissed her as he had never
kissed her before
One morning, a fortnight later, Lord
Bewdavon, now Duke of Strathwayte,
drove to Belper Lodge. leaving shortly
afterward with Dorothy. When they re
turned, the servants addressed her as

THE REST CURE.

This is often the best cure. But many
people cannot afford to rest indefinitely.
Worse still, the very knowledge that they
cannot, seriously interferes with the best use
of the rest they have. Too often going to the
doctor means that the patient shall stop short,
while cares aud duties and expenses continue
Many. therefore, hesitate and delay.

A CHARITABLE VIEW.
Land Office Protects the Rights of an
Entryman Who Had Met With
Nueh NfSfprfuHe.

In the land office there are many records
OF poverty and misfortune stories Of mis-
erabie lives bound up in legal phraseoIogy.
These records bear witness In numerous
instances to the humanity Of the officers
Of the land department. and charitable
considerations often outweigh those of
strict legality.
Such a record is that received yester-
day at the local land Office. 1t is "a de-
cis.on from Acting Commissioner Best.
Diminishing the contest case Of William
Smith against Charles w. Weston. Yves
ton made a homestead entry Of eighty
acres and three lots on the Skagit river.
in November. 1886 In tha fan of that
year Weston lost by fire everything he
possessed. lie was encountered with a
sick wife. who was for great part Of
the time confined 10 her bed. Her hon
dition was such that she could not go to
live on tho land entered by her husband.
In January. 1896, Weston went 10 the land
10 make the improvements required by
law. The place was covered with snow.
and he could do nothing. he went again
iu April and worked for . month build
ing Il house twelve by sixteen feet and
fencing and blowing about one-fourth OF
an acre for a garden. In which he planted
potatoes. IN July he returned once more.
Weston was q Iabcring man. depending
on his daily wages 10 support himself
and wife. lie was trying 10 make a horas
for himself and family.
Il was In July. iS@. that William Smith
filed q corrOhorated AFFIDAVIT of contest,
alleging that Weston had never made set
tiement on the tract. that he had never
made his residence thereon for more than
six months; that the tract was not set
lied uD0n and cultivated by Weston as
required BY law. that Weston was a mar
RED man. and that neither he nor his
family had ever resided on the land
The local land officers recommended,
after hearing Of the case, that the con-
test DC dismissed saying: weston has
acted ln good faith so far. and his mis-
fortunes az poverty and his wife's sick
ness have prevented his fun compliance
with the law"
The general lard Office has sustained
this decision. Tho acting commissioner
saws tn his decision: II think that In this
case TIE plea of poverty. sickness Of his
wife ard MS losses by fire after making
his entry may Re received as an excuse
for Weston's failure 10 establish his resi-
druce an the land IN view 81 his TN
provemgnts thereon. and his apparent
good faith IN making the entry fer a
