CHAPTER XXXVIII.-(Continuea'1
II was hard to go about her daily
tasks-to smile. to talk, to look as
though no sorrow engrossed her-but
Hildred did it. Her husband FOUND
out. too, quite by accident, that sne
rose early every morning in order that
she might go on with the work that
she had begun. Her letters, the plans
the wants of the tenants, were all at
tended to before the real householu
day began. He was pleased when ne
found it out; it was part Of her noble
character to be true to her purposes
but he never dreamed that love for MIN
drove sleep from her eyes, as 1t had
already driven peace from her heart-
he would never have believed IL
So they went on through the bright
autumn days, playing at cross pur-
poses, each believing simply and I'M
plicitly in the dislike of the other.
With the days her love grew greater.
There was, indeed, something most low
ing in the earl now. While she summed
and avoided him, she would have
given the whole world for one kindly
word, for one loving glance from him.
She watched him with dim, passionate
eyes. At the sound Of his footsteps
her heart throbbed and her pulse
guickened at the sound Of his voice.
Her whole heart went out to him. He
was her husband, and she loved him
with wonderful love, although she
showed none of it.
With her keen passionate love grew
her jealousy. 1t was not in Lady HAM
flton's nature to pass by the admlra-
tion of man like the han 1some earl.
He must admire her. Had he not done
so spontaneously, she would have won
1t from him. All homage was accept
able to her-his particularly so, be-
cause he was a handsome man, and
because he had beautiful, dark-eyed
wife who never looked quite comfort
able when they were talking together
two little incentives which Lady
Hamilton profited by, and which af-
forded amusement to her. What was
nothing but sheer mischief, sheer love
of admiration, was death almost to the
proud young wife who counted every
smile that her husband gave her.
She smiled sadly to herself one day,
saying:
Now l know the meaning Of the
words:
"T have gone mad-I love him-let
me die"

had been so occupied with her efforts
as regarded her husband, her plans Of
reform, her schemes for the benefit OF
others, that she had not given much
thought to her own position as a wife
whose husband made no pretense OF
loving her. The knowledge of her real
status came to her now with a keen
sense Of intolerable pain, yet she
would have borne its bitterness but
for the fear lest the brilliant, beauti-
full blonde should become as wise as
herself. That would have been intol-
cradle.
A trifling circumstance brought Hill
dred's jealousy to a climax. The earl
was going out in great hurry one
morning when he found that the but
ton of his glove was hanging by a
thread. Lady Hamilton. who was en-
gagged on some kind of fancy work,
with needle and silk in her hand, sat
by. He went to her at once.
Lady Hamilton, be kind to me
give this one stitch" She laughingly
complied; she would not let him re-
move the glove.
"You need not take that trouble, "
she said-"I can do it as it is
With a pale face and darkening eyes
the young countess watched the little
scene. Why had he gone to her for
this small service? Why should she
hold her husbands hand and look with
laughing eyes into his face? She could
not endure it. She went up to them.
81 thank you, Lady Hamilton" she
said-"I will do that for Lord Cara
ven"
Lady Hamilton looked up in amaze
ment, but there was something in the
young countess face which made her
yield at once She drew back coldly.
Lord Caraven asked me to do it,
she said.
"In all probability he had forgotten
that l was here" she returned, in a
high, clear voice.
The earl, like a prudent man, re-
manned quite silent. He looked at his
wife's face as she bent over the glove
and he saw something there that
shrewd as he was, puzzled him. Why
was she so pale? What was 1t thal
shone and cleaned in the dark eyes
Why did the proud lips tremble'
What was in her face? He gazed II

she declared.

In a peculiar tone of voice; land, II i
does, do not ask me to help you again
Lord Caraven."

1t is estimated that 20, 900 people at
tended exercises at the Soldiers Home
at Fort Leavcnworth on the Fourth OF
July.
Just now the farmers have the world

the other day, two cars of binders
were coupled on to passenger train,
in order that the dealer might have
about ten hours advantage over the
regular freight in unloading them. II
would rather face any kind of mob
than crowd of farmers chewing the
rag on account of the non-arrival of
needed machinery" said an implement
man, in speaking of the matter.
The big cement and plaster mill re-
Gently erected in the edge of Marion
county short time ago at a cost of
200, has shut down peculiarly. The
mill was supposed to be one of the
richest veins of cement for making
stucco in that part of the state, but af-
ter working it for awhile it was found
that it could not be extended for much
distance in any direction. The supply
grew less and less until, although the
mill had orders for scores of carloads
of cement, it was compelled to stop. 1t
is proposed by a new company to buy
the mill and take it apart, then move
it to Butler county, not far from
Burns, where there are beds that prom
Use well. The revival of the building
trades all over the nation and especial
ly in the west, has made the stucco de-
mand brisk, and there is ready sale.
Nearly all of the staff work on the
Omaha exposition buildings has been
made out of the Kansas stucco, and
there has been large sale. The only
thing that is worrying the owners OF
the mills is the possibility of their
supply being exhausted.

Covhide, Calfskin, and Sheepslsin, and the
Uses to Which They Are Chiefly Put.
White cowhide has long been used
for various purposes, though its place
has now been taken to considerable
extent by other and cheaper feathers.
It is used, for example, in making sus-
pender tips, and it's use in making mill
tary belts is familiar. For this pur-
pose it is made up with lne flesh side
out. and the belts are whitened as oc-
casion may require with chalk or pipe
clay. White calfskin is more extens-
lively used than white cowhide. White
calf is used for fine and costly work In
book binding, it may be for gift books,
and sometimes for prayer books White
calf is also used for suspender tips.
More extensively used than either
white cowhide or white calfskin are
the white sheepskins. White sheep
skin is used also for suspender tips,
and for covering trusses and other ar
eticles of metal, and for the trimmings
of shoes. It is used for book binding,
especially for the binding OF medical
books, in which use it is first sprinkled
with coloring material which gives 1t
a notified appearance.

would never die, love that was immor-
tai. More than once the unhappy
young wife saw the widow look at her
husband; more than once there came
to her wild impulse, longing, to
strike the fair face. When the song
was over, it was time to go and watch
the sunset. Hildred saw that her hus-
band did not leave Lady Hamilton's
side. He remained near her, saying:
I'VE will watch the sun set over the
lake. It is one of the prettiest sights
at Ravensmere.
She did not hear Lady Hamilton's
answer; it was given with smiling lips
and laughing eyes. Was it her morbid

Shows is consolidated with the Fore
paugh Show, thus making the new
show one of the largest and most pow
erful in the world. The combination
thus effected will have great influence
upon every other show in the country,
except the 'Barnum & Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth, owned solely by j. A.
Bailey, and the Buffalo Bill Wild West
Show in which Mr.. Bailey has joint
interest. Under the new arrangement
all the cages, cars. horses and mena-
peries, material and paraphernalia OF
the Forepaugh Show will now be add

All the parties of this unprecedented
and formidable amusement alliance
the absolute genuineness of which is
conclusively established by the above
extract and similar comments by the
other great dailies-unite in declaring
that its immediate and governing pur-
pose is to give their patrons more for
the money than has ever before been
attempted in the show business, and
this evidently will be done. Separate
ly, as the great majority of our readers
we'll know, the Adam Forepaugh Show
and that of the Sells Brothers has each
for many years held an enviable posi-
ton of first-class prominence and sue
cess. Either has, time and again,
demonstrated itself possessed of ample
material to make a good deal more

result must be an extraordinary and
sensational success from every stand
point, and such it will doubtless prove
in Wichita, Monday, July %, when
the new combination of Americas
greatest shows makes its first appear

attracted and well deserved big pat

of ventilation that the miners could not
