SYNOPSIS.

Chapter !. - Fannie McLane, a young
widow, is invited to visit the Graftons
at Fort Sedgwick. Her sister tries to dis
suade her, as Randolph Merriam, (whom
she had Tilted for old McLane) and his bride
are stationed there.
Chapter II.--Fannie McLanes wedding
causes family feeling. A few months later
she, while travelling with her husband,
meets Merriam, on his wedding trip.
Chapter III-Some time previous to this
Merriam had gone on government sur
vey, fallen Ill, and had been nursed by Mrs.
Tremaine and daughter Florence. A hasty
note from Mrs. McLane's stepson takes
him to the plains.
Chapter IV.-Young McLane dictates to
Merriam a dying message, which is sent

the expression of grief she did not

Frances should declare her intention
of going to visit Fort Sedgwick, even
under the protection of the Grafton's
roof, had never occurred to her for a
moment as possibility. 1t was stun

thing! She would have written mad,

ternal way he sometimes assumed

at Frances, but those were Just aitei
she "broke" with Randy Merriam and
married McLane. but Fan had wheedled
her out of this unfavorable mood and
convinced her that she had never really
cared for Mr.. Merriam, who, somehow,
failed to inspire her with that feeling
of respect, even reverence, which she
felt was due the man she married.;
whereas Mr.. McLane was a gentleman
of such dignity and force of character
that she seemed powerlesS in his pres
ence, and his love was the sweetest fiat
terry, the most surprising, thrilling joy
she had ever known. Not until he came
did she dream what love really meant,
and then it was duty, it was justice, it
was honor that compelled her to release
Mr.. Merriam. Had she married him she
would have gone to the altar with Tie
on her lips, for she loved another.
Grafton said nothing, but seemed to be
thinking a good deal, and it was plain
that he did not thoroughly approve of
the tickle Frances. When, however, Mer-
Ram surprised everybody at the Point
by his marriage to Floy Tremaine,
Grafton concluded it was time to drop
the matter.
All the same he could not suppress his
surprise when Harriet announced that
| Fanny had actually almost consented
to come to them. 81 thought you knew

said he.
"You did, dear, when first spoke OF
It, and so did l. / didn't think it would

| about Mr.. Merriam and the lovely time
they'd had together on the Pacific coast
with him and his charming bride
and how he and she had laughed over
their affair at the Point and agreed that
it would have been absurd, and now
they were such good friends, and she'd
had such sweet, sympathetic message
from Mrs. Merriam after her sad, sad
bereavement-why, what more was to
be said"
Grafton listened rather grimly. He
| was Lldily ycuIS OlueI tHull HIS WIG, az
has been said, and much less creduious.
Again the same uneasy presentiment
oppressed him. 81 don't think she
should come here, Harrie," he gravely
said. Anywhere else, perhaps, could
have shared with you the feeling of well
come-certainly the desire to pay the
debt of hospitality, but at Sedgwick,
with the Merriams here, it cannot be-"
And here poor Mrs. Grafton broke
down and wept. "Oh," she cried, "it's
got to be! I thought you'd forgiven
her and that all was well; and / urged
and she's coming -ne-ne-next-
w-week."
| We need not record the further re-
marks of Capt. Grafton on this point,
since they were after all imperative, but
the first dark shadow over their domes-
tic peace fell that very day and hour.

or to concerts and theaters, but she
had the best seats secured and Ned
and Charlotte were properly attentive;
and when it was time for the Graftons
t., move on the ladies actually parted
with tears, Fanny looking so white, so
pathetic, so fragile, and protesting that
Mrs. Grafton was the one friend to
whom her heart chung in its bereave-
ment and desolation. A hacking lit.
tie cough had already set in (this was
late in the falD, and the rigors of the
Lake Michigan climate seemed telling
severely upon the Gotham-born girl.
and urgently did Mrs. Grafton press
her to leave this clustering shore and
TO come to her in that land where
coughs and bronchial and catarrhal
troubles are unknown, to bask in the
sunshine and drink in the delicious air
of southern New Mexico; and Fan de-
clared that could she but be with Har-
riet her cough would never worry her,
butt could not bet could not be!
There were important legal matters to
be settled. She must fight her battle
alone. She could not yet go far from
that sacred dust.
All the same the Graftons were not
fairly settled at Sedgwick when Fans
legal difficulties seemed to have been
settled and her cough grievously aug
| mented. The doctors talked of Bermu-
da or San Diego, but the idea of going to
Bermuda, among strangers, was nor
ror. so she wrote; and as for Coronado

been so happy, so blest?-no! no! twas
impossible. Yet Chicago for the rest of
the winter was out of the question, es-
pecially since the estrangement that
had grown up between her and her rel
| atives in the east, that had even to some
extent involved Charlotte, her beloved
sister. Mrs. Grafton could not help
thinking how remarkably Frances had
developed since her school days. Then
she had never impressed anyone as be-
ing capable of much deep feeling. There
had been few months. indeed, when

CHAPTER VII.

The manner in which Mrs. Frances
McLane secured her invitation to visit
the Graftons reflects credit on her gen.
eralship if not on her general char
acter. She was deep in widows weeds
and woe the lovely summer of "a so
long as she remained In the neighbor-
hood of the mausoleum of the dear
departed, and Mrs. Grafton twice or
thrice ran down from the Point to
pour out sympathy and consolation, but
dear Fanny had sustained too severe a
shock. This dreadful, this mysterious,
this murderous assault upon Mr.. Nc
Lane had unnerved her completely, said
Mrs. Grafton, on her return to her liege,
and she does not seem to rally at all.
Later, as we have seen, Charlotte took
her sister west, and later still the
Graftons, en- route to Sedgwick at last,
stopped five days in Chicago on their
way, and Fanny was at the station to
meet them on their arrival, and insist
ed then, as she had before by letter,
upon their being her guests at her own
apartments at the Clarendon. She had
lovely little room all ready for them.
Now Grafton was a provident man, an
economical man, and five days hotel
bills made certainly big hole in a
months pay. Something even then
whispered to him that this eXtrava-
gance were better than that to which
r Il 4 3D., Boo
would lead. But he banished the
thought as unworthy and uncharitable.
Fanny welcomed them with infinite
tact and taste-made them feel that
their coming was a blessing to her. so
sad and lonely was her life now that it
was no longer blessed by the compan-
icnship and devotion of the incompar-
able husband whom she had lost. She
could not accompany them to the opera

Hope sees the brightness of the day
Sink meath the sable pail of night:
Yet Hope dares look aloft and say:
Still shine the stars. so clear, SO brght!
Hope sees dark clouds relentless lower
To dungeons deep the very stars,
And yet Hope cries: "A moment more
And each bright orb shall burst its bars!'
Hope sees the frightened forests bow
Before the storms stupendous fray,
Yet Hope but smiles and says Zen now
The halcyon calm hastes on It's way"
Hope sees the winters ring blast
Stay every green and living thing
Yet Hopes bright gaze looks on and past
And revels in the coming spring.
Yea, Hope can find somewhere flower
In every pathway she has trod,
And floods with song the saddest hour,
Because Hope has her home in God
