When seen yesterday in his apartments
the Governor said that while no definite

was being rapidly collected. and by the

doctor and asked him if he thought it
would be safe to move the young lady.
MY mother lives a few doors back,
and perhaps it would be best to have
her placed in a bed. where she can
have better attention than can be given
her here"
"Oh, yes" rerplied the doctor. 81
was just going to ask the young lady
where her friends lived, so that we
could have her moved Immediately"
Lilly looked up with pitifu smile,
saying: II have no friends nor any re-
lations living. l am entirely alone in
the world, but my room is 10 Front
street, and my name is Lilly Clare"
DR.. Herbert then turned to Percy.
saying: II guess we will avail our
selves of your hospitality, Mr.. Monroe,
and have Miss Clare removed to your
mothers, as it is too far. and might
moved so far as Front street."
Percy bowed and left the drug store,
and retraced his steps to a fine stone
front house few doors from the store.
He met his mother at the dining
room door and soon told his story.
and Mrs. Monroe needed no urging, and
with all her motherly kindness pro-
ceeded at once to prepare a room for
the young stranger. And when, after
half an hours delay. they brought
Lilly to the door, they found every
thing in readiness to receive her.
The kind lady did not stop to think
is she wealthy? and is she of good
birth? but only this, that she is one
Of Gods creatures, and needs my aid.
When DR.. Herbert came down, after
making the needful examination, he
found Percy waiting at the hall door,
who wished to know If his patient was
seriously hurt.
mo, she is only bruised; and think,
with your mothers good nursing, in
about three weeks we will have her up
again."
And for the next three weeks every
attention and care was given to Lilly
Clare, so that she was able to sit up
in large easy chair and read a little.
And very sweet and modest she look
ed, sitting there with her white wrap
per, trimmed in a delicate blue. At
least, so thought the hostess. who was
sitting at a window a short distance
from her.
And Lilly, looking up and meeting
the mild eyes of her kind friend fixed
upon her, blushed, and said:
1T has now been three weeks since
you received me under your roof, and
think by tomorrow I will be able to
return to my room and resume my
sewing, which l quilted so suddenly"
Never mind that now, Lilly; we
will speak about tat some other time;
for the present you will remain where
you are"

LILLY CLARE.
BY c. d.

BY C. d.
IT was bleak December day, and
the wind pierced every nook and crew
ice Of the old attic room where Lilly
Clare sat bending over piece of sew
ing that would bring her small re-
compense and so keep starvation from
her door few days longer.
The last stitch was taken, and Lilly
raised her pale but beautiful face, and,
clasping her hands together, said:
"Oh, what a dreary life for one so
young! 1t is stitch, stitch, from morn
ing until night, and then can scarce
ly keep life in me. But, come what
may, God has given me life, and with
His help l will do my best to take
care of it,"
So Lilly arose, and, putting On her
wrapping that had seen better days,
started out in the bleak wind to take
her sewing home.
Lilly's father had been a wholesale
liquor merchant, and some heavy in
vestment brought him to ruin; and,
not wishing to face his creditors, the
next morning he was found dead in his
chair, and her mother, broken-hearted
soon followed. And Lilly was left
alone to battle with the world.
Lilly, who was very earnestly think
ing as she was crossing the street, did
not heed the span of gray horses thai
came tearing down the street until toe
late; she was knocked down, and the
carriage wheels had passed over her.
A crowd gathered around her, some
saying:
"Oh, she is dead!" And others: mo
she has only tainted"
A gentleman standing by stepped
forward and requested the crowd tc
give way; then raising her in his arms
he carried her into drug store OF
the corner.
He laid her on a sofa and withdrew
while DR.. Herbert, who was in the
store, did all in his power to bring hel
back to life.
Percy Monroe could not help think
ing, while standing there, what love
ly picture she made, lying there so Still
and white, with her pale, golden ring
lets falling around her like halo, anc
one arm lying across her bosom, ano
her white hand, with its pink-tinteo
finger-na'ls, showed that she was OF
good birth. But at last the doctors
kind efforts were crowned with success
for Lilly opened her large blue eyes
and, looking around, said family:
Where am II"
Then 1t suddenly flashed across her
mind. and a shudder passed through
her frame.
The doctor. bending kindly over her
said:
Never mind my child; you are bet
ter now"
Percy Monroe now stepped up to the

door, and heard Lilly's remark and his
mothers reply, said:
No, Miss Glare. we cannot spare
the sunshine from our home, now that
We have once got 1t here"
And Lilly, finding all hearts ready
to receive her, remained.
A few days after, when Lilly was
sitting at the window that opened into
the garden, she heard her two friends
talking together.
And so. Percy, you intend to get
married, do you?"
Yes, mother. If can get the young
lady's consent"
Lilly waited to hear no more; that
was enough to let her know that deep
down in her heart she loved Percy; and
sinking down on her knees she prayed
for strength to battle with that love;
for was he not going to marry an
other?
Then, hearing a step coming, she
arose and bathed her face, just as a
knock was heard at her door.
Opening the door, she found Mrs.
Monroe there, with message from her
son, requesting her to come down to
the sitting-room.
And Lilly, walking as one In a
trance, went down.
Percy, standing at the window. look
ing out, did not seem to notice her at
first. And Lilly hesitated
and said in low tone:
Mr.. Monroe, did you wish to see
me?"
He turned. and reaching out both
hands said:
Yes, Lilly, darling. / do wish to see
you; want to tell you how much l
love you. and to ask you to be my
wife"
think Lilly's answer must have
been very satisfactory, to judge from
the happy faces that came into the
room.
A short time after there was quiet
wedding at home, and peace and con-
tent seem to hang like a curtain about
Lilly and her husband, because they dc
not forget to do good unto one of the
least.

Cuban Women In Mourning.

Harper Bazaar: II there Is one sight
more pitiful in Cuba than any other,
as they are in Havana, where perhaps
in some remote part of the city they
even venture to hold out their hands
to you as you pass-women of refined
appearance, too-the women in wild
ow's weeds are the commonest sight
in the small towns and cities. 1t is
hard to tell where they got their
mourning garments. 1t is no exag-
geration to say that of dozen women
on a street in any Cuban village nine
will be in mourning. And their faces
sad with grief and thin with hunger,
even months after war had ceased!

When DR.. Matt s. Hughes entered his

the audience presented the usual flower

beautiful hats of the female portion.

"for the very kind, manner in which
they observed my request in regard to

eral points in the audience delicate fin
gers could be seen searching deftly
about the borders of lovely picture
hats for invisible hatpins. 1T is a
matter of great satisfaction" contin-
ued the pastor, Ito one in my position
to find such kind consideration for one

posey or plume was seen to nod, in

little sacrifices from the pull
pit-"the sweetness of human nature
is brought out, and all are made to
feel the true neighborly spirit with
which we are endowed Every woman
is made lovable by her own thoughts
for the pleasure of others"-all over
the house there was a culver among
the colors, delicate and bright, as when
the first puffs Of rising breeze reach
the meadow grass. and the next instant
each sprig of artificial flowers and
bow of lace and ribbon seemed to grow
momentarily taller and then move for
ward and sink out of sight, and flour
ish of soft hands followed, smoothing
the stray threads of gold and auburn
and brown that followed as though

AS soon after the first of July as
practicable / will hold public auctions
for leasing about 695, 900 acres of school
land, under provisions of the new law,
in the following counties: Antelope,
Banner, Blaine, Box Butte, Brown,

upon the appraised value, they may bc
leased to the person Offering per cent
upon the highest valu alton. These
lands are in the best sto k growing
portions of the state where cattle,
sheep and horses can be produced at
less expense and, therefore, at greater
profit than anywhere know of; and
yet, surrounded with as good and in
telligent a class of citizens as anywhere
to be found. The harvest truly is great
and lasts almost the year round and
no more inviting field for the intclli-
gent stocl<man and farmer can be
found; and now, that there Is an OPP
portunity to secure twenty-five year
lease contracts thereon at what the
lands are worth, the lessee himself be-
ing the Judge, it is confidently expect
ed that all or nearly all of these lands
will be leased during the present year
at the public auctions, as above men
toned. Any one desiring to attend
any of these leasing auctions will be
notified of the time and place of hold
ing the same, as soon as it has been ar
ranged, II they will write me at once
giving the names of the counties in
which they are interested; and will
also be furnished n list of Ian DIS to be
leased so that they may visit the coun-
ties in advance of the leasing auction
and examine the lands which will be
offered. Notice of the auction will be
duly given in the local papers. Send
