plan for the sake Of her who was 20 ~
the sacrifice. A moment later he was
turning away, Disguised that he had
ever thought OF trusting her. IL took
but touch of opposition, in the shape
of Raymond round the corner, 10 de-
termine him to carry out the plan at all
hazards. Now the determination van
ished in an instant, whether because
the sacrifice stood before him or be-
cause the way was clear of opposition,
and he replied:
81 was this morning, but am
ashamed of II. My name is Stanton
Robert Stanton"
"Mine is Esther Thorndike. My
friend explained to me what is required,
and / am ready to act for YOU"
The young lawyer hardly realized
what she was saying. He was looking
for the deformity. II required but n
moment to decide that at least IL was
not in her body. Whatever was wrong
was surely under the veil. He could
not even see the outline of the face.
She stood as IL waiting for reply,
but he was not aware that she had
asked a question. He tried to recall
what she had said, and then took refuge
in expressing his conjunction.
1--WE begun to realize that my plan
was very cold-blooded and selfish
idea, and I've grown heartily ashamed
of it," he said.
"a plain business bargain is hardly
open to sentiment" she replied, quick
ly. ~ am quite ready, and il you are
we had better start"
"Yes, but my carriage. 1t has just
gone with your messenger-boy to Jer-
sey City," He paused as his ear caught
low laugh tinkling under the veil. 1t
was contagious. He was smiling, too,
as he continues: "Shall we have an
other carriage and go on, risking a
meeting? II seems cowardly to run
from anyone, but there are many de-
testable things which we might do that
would delay us till after midnight, in
spite of anything but common law,
which would be to degenerate alto
gether. / hate to run the other way,
but perhaps il would be wiser, tonight,
to go to Brooklyn instead. Does it
matter to your"
'Dr. Atwood is my pastor, and l
would rather not go to him. But to
anyone else. Yes. think il would be
better 10 go TO Brooklyn" she said.
"Rev. DIR. Borden was witness to
the will. 1t might save publicity, in n
legal way, afterwards, to have him also
perform the ceremony"
II occurred TO Stanton that this was
really remarkable idea, and he was
wondering that il had not occurred to
him before, as the lady replied:
IL know just where he lives, and per.
haps ii would be better that we should
not go together. 1 will be there as soon
as you"
She had hardly ceased speaking when
she literally disappeared. Stanton
looked after her for moment, and the
tips OF his teeth appeared as he NUT
tered:
"She'll be there some time before me
at that rate. To say the least, she's not
a cripple" Then he followed her.

ODD MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.
An Instance OF the Efforts OF Nor
wegians to Always Put the
hest Foot Foremost.

In Siberia q bride, on entering her
husbands house, must be prepared to
show her skill in cooking. She is ex.
pected to give dinner prepared with
her own hands as test of the educa-
ton she has received. If she pleases her
guests it is taken not only as a proof
that she is well qualified Tor her new POI
sition, but that her family is worthy
one, since her parents have trained their
daughter so successfully.
There is another land where thrift is
expected of the young folks. In Hol-
land girl is bound to ask her future
husband If he can afford to pay for the
wedding fees.
In Norway, however, things are not
quite so promising. The Norwegians
are always trying to put the best foot
foremost, and they do 1t in reference
to marriage as well as In reference to
other matters.
1t is said that young man once went
out TO seek wife, and came to n farm
house where there was more wit than
money. The only thing of which the
farmer could boast was one new sleeve
to his coat. This must be maue the
most of.
Pray take a seat" he said, hospit-
ably. but this room is shockingly
dusty" and so saying, he went about
wiping tables and benches with his new
sleeve, while he carefully kept the old
one behind him.
His wife possessed one new shoe, and
one only, but she made the most of IL
by pushing the furniture in place with
II and keeping the other hidden beneath
her skirts. 1T is very untidy here"
she said. Everything is out of place"
Then they called TO the daughter 10
come and put things to rights. But the
only new thing she possessed was
cap. So she kept putting her head IN
at the door, and nodding and nodding.
"For my part" she said, IL can't be
everywhere at once"
Thus they all tried to make the young
man believe that the household was
well-to-do.
One cannot but think that tho meth
DDS OF Siberia and Holland are most
likely TO lead to happiness in the end.

The ameer Of Afghanistan is getting
stout and the doctors have ordered him
10 take gentle exercise. But the ameer
intends to carry out the orders with as
little discomfort TO himself as possible,
judging from the carriage that has
been built for him in London. The
bulk of the propulsion of the vehicle
will be done by two stalwart Afgbans,
who will pedal behind their sovereign
and receive theis orders through an un-
glazed window. When his highness
feels so inclined he can assist in the
work by pedaling two foot boards. He
can do this while lounging on silk cush-
iors and enjoying "a smoke. This is his
idea OF exercise, and IL II does not prove
beneficial he will probably discharge
and imprison his doctors.

reached a quiet haunt, where he lay
down.
His knowledge of healing was wholly
instructive. He licked the wound and
all around il, and sought to be quiet
The licking removed the dirt, and by
massage reduced the Inflammation, and
IL plastered the hair down as a sort
OF dressing over the wound to keep out
the air, dirt and microbes. There could
be no better treatment.
But the Indian was on his trail. Be-
fore long the smell warned Wahb that
foe was coming, so he quietly climbed
farther up the mountain to another
resting place. But again he sensed the
Indians approach and made off. Sew
eral times this happened, and at length
there was n second shot and another
CALLING wound. Wahb was furious now.
There was nothing that really fright
ened him but that horrible odor Of
man, iron and guns, that he remem-
bered from the day when he lost his
mother; but now all fear of these left
him. He heaved painfully up the
mountain again, ard along under a
sixfoot ledge, then up and back to the
top of the bank, where he lay fiat. On
came the Indian. armed with knife and
gun; deftly, swiftly keeping on the
trail; gloating joyfully over each
bloody print that meant such anguish
to the hunted bear. Straight up tho
slide Of broken rock he came, where
Wahb, ferocious now with pain, was
waiting on the ledge. On sneaked the
logged hunter; his eye still scanned
the bloody spots or swept the woods
ahead, but never was raised to glance
above the ledge. And Wahb, as he
saw this shape of Death, relentless on
his track, and smelled the fearful
smell, poised his bulk at heavy cost
upon his quivering, mangled arm, there
held until the proper instant came, then
TO his sound arms matchless native
force he added all the weight of des-
perate hate as down he struck one fear
full, crushing blow. The Indian sank
without n sound, and then dropped out
of sight. Wahb rose, and sought again
a quiet nook where he might nurse his
wounds. Thus he learned that one
must fight for peace; for he never saw
that Indian again, and he had time to
rest and recover.

THE BOUNTY FAKE.

Editor Perry of the Rawlins Repub-
lican sizes up the wolf bounty appro-
priation in the following vigorous man
ner:
Members of the Legislature, who be-
lieve that all interests should receive
fair and equal treatment at the hands
of the legislative department Of our
state government. will see that this
bounty fake receives its everlasting
q~uietus at the coming session.
THE sum of SIS, 900 has been paid
out Of the state treasury for bounties
on wild animals during the past six
years, and the Budget man, who. in the
past, has been one Of the chief boosters
for this private graft, himself admits
that there has been no %perceptible re.
duction in the output of the predatory
wild animal industry. 1t is a notorious
fact that Wyoming has beer paying

The people of northern, central and
eastern Wyoming are now agitating
the question of removal. but in view of
the fact that over two-thirds of the
population of the state is in southern

this section. According to the late cen

ATTORNEY.

Chairman Appel of the Sweetwater
been interviewed by the Cheyenne
Leader upon the matter of electing dis
trict instead OF county prosecuting at
torneys. The plan is to have one at.
torney for each judicial district, who
will be provided with such assistance
as may be from time to time necessary.
The suggested salary is 81, 500. In dis
cussing the question the Leader says:
Just how a proposition of this kind
would be regarded by the people of the
state generally is, of course, problemat-
there is probably no doubt. but on the
other hand. will not a majority of the
people Of the state prefer to elect their
own prosecuting officer, rather than
have some n man determine for them
who this local prosecuting Office shall
be as would be the case in the event
of doing away with the office of county
attorney and electing a district attor-
ney for each judicial district.
1T would that the matter of
saving expense to the people of the
state may in some contingencies be
carried too far. There is one thing at
least that is absolutely certain and
that is that you can't have a state or
county or city without mourning some
expense. In other words, it costs
something to have a government and
there are some rights connected with
the matter of an administration of pub
lie affairs which the people generally
will not consent to place in the hands
