Straw and It's Uses.

Straw is put to strange uses in Jap
an. Most of the horses are shod with
straw. Even the clumsiest of cart
horses wear straw Shoes In their case
the shoes are tied around the ankles
with straw rope, and are made Of the
ordinary rice straw, braided so that
they form a sole for the foot about half
an inch t1-'o'l. These soles cost about
a half-pel.-.y a pair, and when they
are worn out they are thrown away.
Every cart has stock of fresh shoes
tied to the horse, or to the front Of the
cart, and in Japan it was formerly the
custom to measure distances largely by
the number Of horseshoes it took to
cover the distance. So many horse.
shoes made a days. journey, and the
average shoe lasted for about eight
miles Of travel.

CHAPTER III.

Through the quiet, moonlit night
Harry Reynolds retraced his steps to-
ward his tent upon the rivers bank.
He and Grace had walked home almost
in silence. His happiness was too new
and great for words, and in his own
soul dwelt weary calm.
His fathers blessing, as he led Grace
into his presence, and asked him to re
ceive her as a daughter, still fingered IN
his ear. He still felt the warm grasp
of his fathers hand.
From the older man shadow seemed
to have fallen, great weight to have
been uplifted, and Harry wondered
why it should be so.
That the momentous words had actu-
ally been spoken-that Grace actually
was his betrothed wife, seemed to him
unreal, intangible. None of lovers
joy was his; no lovers anticipations
held seed in his soul.
His tent reached he stood in it's door,
way, lit a fresh cigar, and watched the
light smoke curling upward.
"Poor child" he said, aloud, when
half an hour had passed-"poor child!'
And as he spoke he sighed weary
sigh.
"Harry!"
Was it only the night wind which, as
it rustled past him. bore to his excited
fancy that low-voiced murmur of his
name? Only his name! Yet he start
ed and turned deathly white-a white
ness which deepened into an awful PAL
lor, as out from the shadows close at
hand there crept, with stealthy, grace
full movement, woman's form.
She was shrouded in black lace from
head to foot-even her face was con-
cealed; but, as she drew nearer him
she threw back her veil and let the
moonlight stream upon the f1awless
| beauty of her face.
Harry" she cried, forgive my COM
ing like this! But I had to see you
once more-just once more-and you
were so hard, SO cruel. knew that TINS
was the only way!"
him supplicatingly.
Into her voice had crept the sounds OF
tears, though her eyes were dry, and
the color had deserted neither cheek
nor lips.
"You honor me too highly; Mrs.
Window" answered the young man,
almost roughly, as her voice died away
"and I think, in running this risk, you
have taken scarce sufficient thought to
your reputation. Your motive am at
a loss to conceive; but as the curtain
has rung down on the short farce en-
acted between us, do not, pray you
cause 1t to rise again upon either TRACE
dy or melodrama."
"Hush!" she entreated. "Oh, God
that you could speak to me like this
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1900-08-16

7 had been waiting here an hour be1ore
you came. I feared you WouN, na
>come at ALL and when, at last' 10
your footstep, my courage 1orsooN ~
1 dared not approach you, untl'' NV
ment ago, the sound OF your WV.
reached me. You spoke ALOUD anu w.
spoke in tender pity. Poor child! you
said; and I thought. maybe-nlaso.
YOU thought of me, and so, before my
newborn courage fled, I made my
presence known to you. Oh Harry
look at me only once-speak to me
kindly, if but one word. and tell me- i.
that moment, you were thinking u
me?"
She stretched forth one little hand
white as marble and of velvet so1thess'
and laid it on his sleeve.
Her touch thrilled through every
pulse and sent the momentary co!of
coursing through his pale cheeks; p"t
he shook it off, without attempt AT
softening or gallantry.
For the first time, madam, In many
weeks, you were apart from my
thoughts. Aye, 1 have thought OF YOU
if your vanity needs such knowledse
for it's food-thought of you as the
man must think of one who for the
moment converts even truths purity
into a foul and black lie! 1 have
thought of you and cursed you! To-
night I lift my curse-to-night another
entered into my thoughts. You two
could not dwell there together. Day
and night cannot enter into dual en-
fstence. Go your way, madam, in
peace; let me go mine!"
Bitter and scathing as We're his
words in their cutting scorn, they
aroused no anger. though momentary
flash of jealous light cleaned in the
wonderful eyes-eyes which in colo,
were golden, though hair and lashes
were black as midnight.
"Harry!" she cried agafn-and now
unnindful of the damp ground, She
sank on her knees at his feet ant
clasped both hands impToring1y upor
his-"listen to me! You shall listen,
you shall hear! Only tell me, first, thai

soon forgotten me; for you did love

Resenting n Rribe.

A gr,rmbler has kept on denouncing
prosperity because his salary was not
raised About a week ago his salary
was raised Is per cent. But he isn't
satisfied. In referring to the matter, he
said:
@Of course! The campaigns about
to open. They see they've got to dc
something to try to make their side
good. But they're not going to bride
me! This is nothing more nor less
than Il villainous attempt to get my

revulsion appeared to take place in the
young mans soul. He crossed the floor
once more. and. standing before his
father, held out his hand.
II will see Grace tomorrow, father
he said. 1T seems almost sacrilege.
but If it is true that she loves me, IL

And even as he spoke the words, a
moonbeam came stealing in through
one of the upper windows, touching
with its caress the half parted lips of a
slumbering child-a child who slept anc
dreamed, and mingled with her dreams
came melody half-musical, half-dis-
cordant-a melody played upon by an
unseen orchestra, their theme, "Lo, the
conquering hero comes!"
