"Ciel is that goddess destined for such
a man? Oh, the irony of fate!'
Man and girl passed on; the latter, scarce
ly noticing now-she was so used to it,
the attention she excited, said, archly:

would do me a service-which would not

"You are n soldiers daughter. Besides,

"a good many. Now go, please, or you

"Well, the papers might be gone, ard

She slipped her hand from his arm, and
Aston Lawford hurried away.

"To get some evening papers, replied
mademoiselle, playing with her fan.
Mrs. Langley smiled to herself. Aston
Lawford, reputed millionaire, and certain
ly immensely rich, was clearly cpriS with
the portionless beauty; and she, whether
she perceived this or not, made him do her
bidding.
The party had returned TO their logo, and
the curtain had risen on the third act,
when Lawford, with an EUcRtRg Standard,
Globe, and an early Telegraph Especial"
came back.
Valerie's eyes flashed as she saw his
trophies.
ooh, thanks!" she said, in an eager un-
dertone; that Is a feast! | hope you had

look at the kilograms"
"Let mel" said Lawford, taking the pa
pers from her and opening them at the
centre pages.
The girls heart beat fast as she looked
at the Standard kilograms. There had
been no fighting where Max Beauregard
was, BUT some skirmishing elsewhere. The
Telegraph and the Globe told the same
tale, and she drew a silent breath of relief.
She could put aside fuller reading for the
present, until SD e was alone; and feeling
secure that he, 30 any rate, was safe, she
gave her undivided attention to the opera;
while Lawford, who did not care much for
any music, thought a great deal more about
the beautiful girl at his side than about
the sorrows of Margherita.
Mrs. Langley and her niece were leaving
Paris for Rome the next day; and as the
party drove back to the Louvre, where
Mrs. Langley was staying, Lawford turned
to the lady and said:

are painfully conscious Of this fact.

there was an athletic and dashing milf

and seldom showed himself in society.

The Sea KINGS,

Since the Golde Hind went round the
Horn and circled a world unknown,
Wherever the tides of God have beat and
the winds of God have blown,
From the sunrise seas TO the shutdown
seas, by the storm and the %spindrift
whirled,
The sons Of the men who sailed with
Drake have ruled the water world.
And whether they sail from Plymouth
Hoe or out Of the Golden Gate,
They are brothers in blood linked heart
to heart and TO a resistless fate;
For the quenchless ardor to rule the seas,
which time can never Stake,
Makes the same blood race through
Dewey's veins that throbbed from
the heart of Drake.
And all the way out of Trafalgar, down
into Manila bay,
The Anglo-SaXon has sailed and fought
and struggled and won his way;
And wherever the tides Of God may beat
and the winds Of God may blow
1t will be tomorrow asst Is today and 1t
was in the long ago!

BY general consent among the range
men and cattle owners throughout the
West. the laws. rules and regulations
adopted by the state of Montana, re-
lating to the live stock industry, are
conceded to be the most satisfactory
anywhere, says the Stockgrowers Jour-
nal. The regulations in vogue here
work most satisfactorily and leave little
to be desired in the matter of ample
protection for stockgrowers, large and
small. There is, however, occasional
dissatisfaction arising from the opera
ton of the present system of the distri-
button of the monies received from the
sale of strays. 1t is said that the funds
in the hands of the treasurer of the
stock association often remains there
for years. unclaimed, for the reason
that the owners of strays know moth

this supposed defect in the system, IT,
is suggested that a descriptive list of
all animals sold as strays be published
or that such list be prepared and sent
to all members of the association.
