THE FAIRIES AND THE FATES,

Allen Dare was an orphan adopted by
| his uncle, who was willing ito do his
| duty" as he expressed it, 'fby his good
for-nothing nephew" His heart was
very bitter when he uttered these words
| for he had been proud of the tall, fair
lad; and, somehow or other, he never
knew exactly why, had always expected
'fgreat things from Allen, who, as a
! boy, had differed widely from his school
mates.
E~asy-going, dreamy and a trife lazy,
he had most in~considerately fallen in
love with Nancy Dale. His affection for
her gave impetus to his e~ndeavors. He
became ambitious. After awhile he
fell to thinking of the great things
a man can do.
One day Allen Dare began to write
down some of his fantastic dreams and
fancies. He did 1t because it was a
pleasure to him.
why don't you send them to some
editor?" Nancy said.
IT WILL" responded Allen.
The manuscripts were accepted and
thenceforth Allen Dare roamed in fairy
land with a clear conscience. Success
came to him on sweet, swift wings. He
was acknowledged.
Harder and yet harder worked Allen
Care, the writer, and the fairies with
him. They formed and fashioned cum
ningly a play, he and his fairies to-
gether-a play which soon made Allen
laugh while composing it. Soon crowd
ed theaters laughed as heartily at his
handiwork. Success had come. Allen
was going to London.
It was a pleasant evening when he
bade farewell to Nancy, cool and tram
quill, with a soft breeze blowing and
sufficient light to show the dark lines
of the hedgerows and the pathway
winding ahead through the deserted
fields.
Nancy, I am going to make a
name" he said, in the old, impetuous
way of ambitious youth.
You have made one already" came
quick the answer, in a low, sweet tone.
The tranquil voice was merely as
sumed to conceal the tumult passion
and fear were raising in the girls
heart.
Allen looked down upon her eager,
straining face. His eyes grew soft. His
lips parted in a happy smile.
Nancy" he said, suddenly, eff the
play takes as we'll as it promises to,
and l am really successful, this day
two years hence, at this very hour, l
shall return to this lane and wait for
you. VIII you be here to meet me,
sweetheart"
He looked into her face, a clear,
white gem in the dark setting of the
night.
1T is September" he went on "and
tomorrow is the GOTH"
II shall remember" she answered.
They were standing beneath the
branches of an old, storm-smitten tree.
Here we shall meet said Allen.
Taking out his knife, he cut in the

twined. Here they have remained n
sweet association"
Co. she exclaimed abruptly, land
read those letters! II what you g
be true. then God help you, for ! can
not"
He walked to the tree in short, quick
steps. The fates were laughing grim
ly; there was no place for the fairies
at that supreme moment. The tree
had been much hacked by a knife, but
below this destruction two letters were
cut, deep and clear. IN" and y" were
the letters Allen read. For a moment
he stood dazed and perplexed.
The girl stood some distance on,
Watching him. When he returned,
| his lip swere compressed and his face
! was very grave.
Il ask yaur pardon; are Q en-
| gagged to him?"
He is my husband" she answered
| softly.
''Since / was a child he has loved me,
yet never intruded. When | was lone
" and disillusioned, he was my COM
| forter. : Always he wal a
friend-he is very steadfast, Allen, and
l adore him."
She looked up with radiant eyes and
| saw the pain in his face.
Il do forgive you, Allen. Go and
forget me-"
THAT is impossible; my love has
/ brought me too much suffering to be
easily forgotten. l vas an idiot to
think I had gained success. / was des-
tined for failure from the beginning
Good-by-it is the last time
that I shall have even the melancholy
pleasure of saying this to you"
"The fairies will help you; they were
ever your friends"
l have pitted them against the fates."
he said, with a strange laugh, "and
learned their worthlesSsness. = s =
| Goodbyl"
"Goodby!"
The word was echoed back from the
surrounding fields as though the fairies
were sounding his knell In their dain-
ty language. Allen Dare heard their
| feeble voices as he went forth, alone
into the darkness of approaching night.

81 deem it my duty to inform you concerning the
wonderful restoration of my sisters health" writes
Miss Kate V. Reed, GA Park Avenue, Lafayette,
Indiana. Gin February, 1898, she was Frustrated by
an attack of pneumonia which (after several weeks)
resulted in an abscess of the left lung. After the
disease had progressed about FIVE weeks her ply
stefan gave her up, saying that she was going
into consumption, but it might be possible that as
spring advanced she would improve, but with the
return of winter the disease would renew itself and
she could not possibly see another spring time. At
this ~junoture another sister, residing several miles
distant, came to visit her, bringing with her a bottle
of DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. She had
great faith in the medicine and had hopes of its bene-
filing our sister, Rose. After writing to DR.. Pierce
for advice We began using the medicine, and before
many doses had been taken we noted an improvement

as he knocked the ashes of the end OF his

to sit up in a chair for an hour or two at a time. Its
use was continued until she had taken seven and q

The French government having recently acquired a valuable piece Of
property near its consulate in a town of Persia. MI. John Bull promptly in
quHes by what authority Mr.. Crapaud does such a thing. He is reminded
that the trade of that place, Bushire, svery valuable to him. and, in fact,
that the town is the principal center of British commerce in Persia. All
this the French probably knew before, and it is considered as quite a feath-
pr in their cap that they werea able to secure property that had been pre-
vousy refused to both England and Germany.
The building, which is prtenuous and casteuated, ws for several
years years occupied a. the Dutch consulate and the facility with which the
French obtained possession OF the property, the wiseacres say, argues some
sort of ar understanding with the great car, who is the dominant power
in that part Of the world.
