ONLY TWO WEEKS.

Herman Powers hurried along the
street, his thoughts travelling even
faster than he was doing He was en-
gagged to Margaret Leland and had
been for over year. He was much in
love with her, and he considered him
self a lucky man to have won her con-
sent to marry him. She loved him, too,
and, as is often the case with good,
pure woman, this love amounted to al
most worship.
Herman had enjoyed this devotion
on her part exceedingly, as what man
would not in like circumstances? But
lately he had sometimes thought she
was too demonstrative in her affec-
tons, little too sentimental, in fact,
and that in her great enjoyment of his
company, perhaps she was little
selfish and took good deal of his time
away from his profession. Before he
met her this law business had been his
sole object of interest, and now that
the first glamour of his engagement
was over, he did not exactly return to
his first love, but was willing to divide
u1o dttC1lL1ou, anu Oh oASC ~ "ouAo
be, indeed, if his fiancee did not suffer
in the dividing process.
Just now he was about to take a
short trip cut of the state, and he was
on his way to bio Margaret good-by
He had decided it would be all nom
sense to have a scene over this first
parting, and as for love letters, they
would be entirely out of the question.
1T would be Margaret's way to make
great fuss over our separation,' he
said to himself as he ran up the steps
of the Lelands' home and rang the
bell, 'but shall be taking trips often,
and there is no need of being fool
ish. We must begin as we can hold
out"
He is relieved as he enters the draw
ing-room that there are guests present,
and he is not likely to see his sweet
heart alone, and with it all is vague
sense of disappointment, too. He
talks with her, with her mother and
brother, and with the friends they are
entertaining; he exerts himself to be
agreeable and to keep the conversation
on general topics, and when at the end
of an hour he rises to go and care
lessly announces his departure from
the city on the morrow, he is convinced
that he has avoided the thing he
dreaded. and in diplomatic kind of
way, too. Margaret had perhaps
grown little white when he spoke of
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1899-10-26

"That would be impossible" she
quietly returned, and then she gave
him her hand in parting. He avoided
her eyes, the hurt look in them was
more than he could bear, but he took
the little trembling hand in his, and
stopped to kiss her. "Good-by, dear,
take good care of yourself Give me
one more kiss and l am gone. Re-
member, it's only two weeks"
Two weeks later the train is steam
ing into the city as fast as the big iron
horse can carry it, but it cannot go too
fast for the impatient Mr.. Powers. The
two weeks are over, the business trip
is at an end and is successful, and now
he wants to see Margaret, his love, his
darling. He has thought of her day
and night, he has bought her extrava-
CANT presents, he has done everything
to please her except write to her, and
he can hardly wait for his meeting
with her. He gets his overcoat on, his
grip in hand, he scorns the assistance
of the porter, and before the train has
fairly ceased it's motion he steps down
to the platform of the station. He
sends telegram to Margaret announc-
ing his arrival, and then takes cab
to his hotel, giving the cabman an ex-
ira to hurry, so anxious he is to make
the necessary changes in his toilet and
get to his fiancee. He fairly runs up
the stairs to his room, and finds note
under the door. From her? No, from
her brother.
MY Dear Fellow: We are so sorry
we haven't your address and cannot
send for you. Margaret, of course,
must know where you are, but for
some reason she declines to tell us.
Probably it is to spare you the pain
of parting-for Margaret is dying. She
took cold the day you left and the ILL
ness rapidly developed into pneumo-
mia. The doctor gave us almost no
hope from the beginning, and tonight
says we must expect the worst. He
thinks she will hold out a couple of
days longer, and we are all hoping
that some chance will bring you home
before she goes. send this to your
hotel that it may reach you the instant
you arrive. Come to us at once if you
would see Margaret alive. Very truly
yours, JACK LELAND"

The constantly increasing business
Of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road
has necessitated very material addi-

placed in service between Baltimore
and Pittsburg, Baltimore and Parkers-

Bryan for the Democratic nomination and
a platform upon which all decent men
may stand, asking '1f it is Mr. Stallings

gest Gen. Joe Wheeler as he seems so de-
sirous of the Wheeler vote of the Eighth

JanauscielS

The celebrated tragedian Janauschek will
appear at O'Briens opera house tomorrow
afternoon and night in her greatest sue
cess, her new version of Meg Merrilies, an
adaptation by Paul Kester, of Sir Walter
SCOTS immortal romance of Guy Manner
ing. Mr.. Hester has practically written a
new play of the old version made famous
by "Cushman." Mr.. Kester has only re-
tanned the story; the situations are all new
and original. He has added greatly to the
interest of the plot and has introduced a
number of strong and powerful dramatic
situations and stirling climaxes. the rela-
tionship of the various characters which
previous dramatists have marred have
been restored. Meg" is now the dominent
figure of the play as Scott intended her to
be. In its present form 1t is a marvel of
dramatic construction and occupies a unique
position on the stage. 1t belongs to no
specified class; 1t lies in the borderland of
tragedy and melodrama The character of
Meg" has long been a favorite of Janaus-
chek's. 1t makes a splendid vehicle for her
wonderful emotional power. Its thrilling
soul-inspiring climaxes give her oppoetuni-
ties presented by no other character of the
stage. Her impersonation is the very en-
bodiment of SCOTS description of his fa-
nous creation.
