AT the end of the dark avenue, unseen by

under the arched gateway of the old dwelling

There is a hollow clatter of horses hoofs on
the frozen ground, and Bruce knows that Meg
is gone.

hrskily, and, dashtng down the steps, he

CHAPTER II.

Two months of marriage has sufficed to
convince Meg that life with a genius is not
one of unalloyed bliss.
She has had but little of her husbands
companionship.
The wonderful thoughts of his mind are
closed to his young wife, and she is terrible
lonely, the cramped dullness of their Chelsea
flat, consisting of four tiny rooms, sometimes
filling her with intolerable oppression.
Her heart is yearning for the old home, so

by on the dusk-veed river; and when Ger
lvais suddenly bursts into the room, she turns,

claims, and his voice thrills. Did you think

He eagerly scans her face, that is upturned
to his in speeches. incredulity; and even in
the dim light he see that a great horror
gathers in her eyes.
You mean that you actually wish me to
be Gagged in the arena with living tiger?"
she asks with gasp. You mean that?"

RIDE OF A WOMAN.
Mtsa Trnnk. Aged Sixty-Seven, Trav-
els Thirty Miles on the Bumpers
of Freight Car.

Miss Trank, 81 years of age, of Ben
son, Minn., was on her way to church
the other morning, when she found !he
crossing blockaded by a stock train.
Rather than be late at divine service,
she essayed to Chamber through the
cars. Holding her Bible carefully, she
had just mounted the bumpers of car
and was preparing to spring to the
other side when the train started.
There was no opportunity TO get
down or up and no one heard her cries
for help, SO she settled herself firm
ly on the bumpers and was carried to
Willmar, 80 miles distant, the trip oc-
cupying so minutes. When the train
men found her she was hanging to the
rods with one hand and clutching her
beloved Bible in the other. Her Sum
day bonnet was somewhat out Of place
and her nerves were uustrung.
The employees of the road saw that
she was well cared for in Willmar, and
the company sent her home on an aft
ernoon passenger train in time for even
ing service in Benson.

COLLECTION OF BASKETRY.
Arranging Its Exhibition, watch
In the Finest In Existence.

The National museum Is arranging
Q recent purchase of basketry and ex-
poets to have the collection ready for
exhibition in the course of the next
three months. Basketry is succeeding
pottery as fad, and the museum prides
itself on having a fine collection. DR..
j. N. Hudson, of Ukiah, CAL, spent the
greater part of his life in the study and
collection of these pieces of Indian
workmanship, and the result of his
years of work can soon be seen at the
museum, as his specimens have been
purchased for $4,000. A gallery recent
ly built above the pottery specimens of
Oregon and Nevada is filed with these
curios. One side of the gallery is de-
voted 70 the Hudson collection, the
other cases containing basketry of the
various weaves and makes of the differ
ent tribes OF Indians in America. These
specimens represent some $4,000.
The finest baskets are made of the
roots of trees. THESE rootiets can often
be obtained at least ten feet in length.
while pliable wood from the same tree
would be in short pieces wholly un-
suited to smooth work. Every sort of
design has been used, displaying a re-
matsable intuitive knowledge Of geom-
etry in the figures and designs. Much
of the fine work has been done with
the needle, but the weavers have also
shown good execution. This basket
work has been the kindergarten of the
lacemakers. Once the needle is intro
dnced discriminating becomes second
ary, and the women devote their time
to lace making. The collection is going
through a treatment 6 corrosive sub
Innate and alcohol to kill the little
beetles which attack the specimens.

insanity for his client, but his brilliant
efforts were unsuccessful. He could
not save the prisoner. The jury brought
in the verdict and he was condemned,
found guilty and executed.
The papers that were found and pro-
duced in court proved the dead stran-
ger to be Lucy's long lost uncle. The
money he left was given to her with its
IS years of accumulated interest. The
law decided that.
DIR. Charlie rejosced that he had been
instrumental in discovering the muir
derer, but said it was his love for anat-
omy that brought it about. He is more
devoted to his profession than ever.
After the trial was over he again Wis

AGURI0US6hSE
BY Itta Allen Fellner.

LAKEWOOD seminary was fashion,
able boarding school for young
ladies. 1t was delightfully."- situated in
the suburbs of small city, and was
near neighbor to the medical college.
At the beginning of this story the fac
ulty of Oakwood was giving little re-
ception to the elder pupils, and q few
guests were present, among them
Charles Sanford, senior in the medical
school.
The school year was drawing to a
close. and it was we'll for Charlie that he
was safely through his examinations,
for he was past all studying for the
present. The fact was he was dead in
love. The object of his ardent affec-
ton was Miss Lucy Long, one of the
very young and very pretty teachers in
Oakwood.
No one attempted to blame Charlie
in the least for being in that serious
condition, for Lucy was charming
girl, who was not only beautiful but
