The flush that leaped to her face,
the angry light to her eyes she could
neither conceal nor control. For mo-
ment she stood there amazed, enraged
and trembling, then these words burst
from her lips: 81 thought loved you,
Randy Merriam-not two months ago
yes, despite everything! Now hate
you'll" And with this melodramatic
speech she impetuously and abruptly
turned, and for the second time took
refuge, dust or no dust, at the rear door
way, the presentation to her husband
apparently forgotten. For proper
and reasonable minute he awaited her
return-then, quickly stepping back,
seated himself by his young wife's side.
His hand sought and found hers; his
fond eyes, eagerly searching were not
long denied the upward, appealing
glance of hers. Ibid you read? Do
you approve, dear love?" he softly
asked. 1T would be evaporation to
have to travel on with them. Shall I
wire to Stoneman?"
Whatever you say, Handy" was the
whispered answer. "Oniy you won't
have to leave me again, Will you?"
"Only for an instant, dear, just long
enough to send the dispatch from
Fauntleroy-one station ahead. She
will not trouble you again."
And from Fauntleroy a brief tele-
gram was flashed along the wires to
the post quartermaster at famous old
Arizona station, two hours ride beyond,
and when the brilliantly-lighted train
came steaming up to the platform
there stood brace of officers with vel
come in their eyes; and before. Mrs.
McLane, once again seated in her sec
tion and feigning deep interest in her
book, could realize what had happened,
Mr.. and Mrs. Merriam were leaving the
car, he merely raising his hat in civil
farewell-the bride. however, as the re-
suit of brief conference with her lord,
smiling bravely down into the upturned
face of their startled neighbor and say.

journey, Mrs. McLane. Goodnight"
"Why-I thought-surely you told
me you were going to-direct to San
Diego, and / had planned to have ever
so long a talk with you," and Mrs. Nc
Lane had possessed herself of that slen"
der hand, and was hanging on suspi-
ciously hard.
"Yes, we'll be there after a little"
was the serene answer. "We visit old
friends first at Fort Stopeman," and
with that our army girl withdrew her
hand which hypocritical social ethics
prescribed she should extend. She had
even the hardihood to glance over her
stylishlyrobed shoulder and nod
CHEEKY, insouciant farewell to the fair
yet clouded face at the Pullman window

WHY DO WE Waltz

Why do we wait till ears are deaf
Before we speak our kindly word,
And only utter loving praise
When not whisper can be heard?
Why do we wait till hands are laid
'Close-folded, pulseless, ere we place
Within them roses sweet and rare
And lilies in their f1awless grace?
Why do we wait till eyes are sealed
10 light and love in deaths deep trance
Dear. wistful eyes-befere we bend
Above them with impassioned glance?
Why do we wait till hearts are still
To tell them all the love in ours
And give them such late need of praise,
And lay above them fragrant flowers?
How oft we, careless. wait till life's
Sweet opportunities are past,
And break our 'alabaster box
OF ointment" at the very last!
o! let us heed the living friend
Who walks with us lifes common ways,
Watching our eyes for look of love,
And hungering for a word Of praise!

ably very bad form indeed, dozens OF
men and women had ridden to the juno
ton TO meet the west-bound train and
see them off; and hardly had their fond
faces faded in the distance than an
other, very different one, radiant,
smiling, beautiful face, was unveiled
to the startled vision of the bride, and
the woman who was said to have
wrecked Randolph Merriam's life few
months gone by was there in most be-
witching guise, despite the dust and
CRIME of railway travel, to overwheln
her with pretty speeches and charming
compliments-and complete dismay.

Az the End of The Year.

We all like TO put aside surplus of
profit at the end Of term of labor.
That means we are gaining. But If we
make fair living and meet our ex-
penses. with nothing at the end of the
year for surplus. we can hardly say that
times are hard. We have had our sup
plies-all that we needed-and only
when we fail in them and really suffer.
can we say with reason that times are
hard. But we hope. nevertheless. that
every one of our folks will be secure in
a nice surplus at the end of the year.--

An "ice-creeper," for wear on the shoes
IN slippery streets, has been invented by
an American lady. 1t has small stesl
teeth to pierce the ice as the wearer
walks, and can be applied to the sole in
ten seconds.
Temper, says an authority, has inn
nense influence on the tone OF the sing

person will invariably have a cat-like
quality in the voice, which is perceptible
Ia singing quite as much as in speaking.
Newly formed lakes, canals, etc, often

marked him drifting sternward on the crest
Of a wave, with one hand in the air, as in
appeal, his set, white face looking like paper
as he gave a last terror-stricken glance at me
and shout unheard save by his Maker.
To lift a finger for his rescue was beyond
all but Divine power, and, though he was
no more than the boom's length from me,
he was as fairly seized by death as though
clutched by fatal malady.

sheer preclplee, to get, if possible, a glimpse
of his craft. Oftentimes on these occasions
Gertrude would be with him.
One day Ames asked him to give McCary
an oyerhauling for some papers taken BY
his sister from Mrs. Badely's desk, which
were now missing. Accordingly, when next
he met the doctor, he asked him for the
papers. McCary had his gun with him, and
his gray eyes were bloodshot, betokening a
free use Of liquor. He started, and the gun
slipped from his hand. Ii there were any
doubts before that he was the thief, they
were now dispelled Before he could formu-
late an answer Thorndyke leaped for and
laid hold of him. With one hand he twist
ed him around, with the other drew from his
breast pocket mass of papers. then with a
finishing push thrust him backward. BY the
time the surly redcoat had gotten to his feet,
Donald had found what he wanted, and then
walked off with the gun over his shoulder
without even looking to see what might be
McCary's next move.
A few days later when Donald walked TO
the cliff Gertrude was with him. He was
hundred feet in advance of her as he reached
the brow of the promontory lie gave a
shout as he sprang forward, for there,
stretching out for miles, vessel after vessel,
was the British fleet.
Then he heard behind him a piercing
shrek. Turning he saw Gertrude throw her
self on the form Of McCary, just as he sent
bullet whizzing by his head. In moment
he tore himself from the girl and put off in
full flight, and Thorndyke after him. They
met on the verge of the cliff, from which by
mighty effort the doctor was thrown head
long,
Then, turning, Donald hurried to where
the motionless form of Gertrude lay. His
passion broke against all restraint, and he
poured into her deaf ears the story Of his
love, and kissed her white lips. Her eyes
opened slowly, and he knew she had not
been deaf to all he had said She looked him
squarely in the eyes and said: Donald, have
you only courage while in the grip Of muir
derous monster and-and over the body of a
lifeless woman? My poor boy-my hero-oh,
my love"
