A BATTLE OF HEARTS

She was bending over a new book as
he came in. She laid it down and rose
to greet him.
You were so interested in your
book" he said, reproachfully, that I
fear you forgot | had told you | would
be here at A."
Gould | forget?" she laughed. NO;
while | waited | tried to make time
pass quickly with a book"
He smiled as one to whom such
things were due and seated himself
where he could tace her. She was
looking her best that afternoon. She
was aware of that fact, and for one
who loathed affectation her pose was
suspiciOusly like it. But he only
thought how well she would carry the
family name and the family diamonds.
Il came this afternoon" he said,
for a special purpose. l hoped last
night when l asked if | might see you
alone today you would understand why
| asked"
His was quite confident, and
the slight tenderness in it gave the
impression that he knew all was well
with him. She had her eyes fixed on
the floor, so he did not see the smile
she was trying to hide. He was so
sure Of her answer that while she felt
he deserved a refusal, yet she felt a
little sorry for him. He was distinctly
good to look at, bright and clever as
possible, irreproachable in family and
position, the only child, and his moth
er was quite willing she should have
those magnificent diamonds.
She lifted her eyes to him.
Il came to ask you to be my wife"
He spoke impressively, and yet with
the tone of one who is trying not to
overwhelm another.
Perhaps she was nervous, but she
undoubtedly smotheTed a giggle. He
evidently thought it a sob, for he came
to her side and leaned over her chair.
Il did not mean to agitate you, my
darling" He was trying to take her
hand. Don't keep me in suspense
longer than is necessary"
you are kind" she said, politely;
but | don't think l care about ac-
cepting your offer"
He stared.
You are flippant; this is hardly a
time for joking"
She sprang angrily to her feet.
Joking, Joking. Because l refuse
you? Did you think it 81 impossible
that l could decline such an honor"
He flushed a dark crimson.
You gave me considerable reason to
think you would not decline"
How dare you!" she cried. do you
mean that l deliberately led you on?"
Something very like it, if you are
in earnest. But | will not believe"
That ! am in earnest? am very
much SO. I have not the slightest idea
of marrying you. | never led you on.
You bored ME to death. Was it my
fault if your conceit kept you from
seeing my smothered yawns?"

nese have learned the use of European

Thank God your comrades OF the

they have encountered them, have
proved true to the old German battle
cry. They have defended themselves
with glory; have won victory and have
done the duty committed to them.

anything better than that. He was
silent a minute; then gave a harsh
laugh.
And you are the woman l wanted
to make my wife!"
Don't take that tone to me-" she
said quickly. 81 am not to blame"
You knew why l was coming this
evening. You might have spared me
this"
He leaned on the mantel and dropped
his face in his hands. She was dis
tinctly embarrassed and ashamed ,as he
could see out of the corner of his eye.
You never cared for me-" she said,
and her voice shook a little. You
were always so busy telling me about
yourself and your doings." Her in
dignation was getting the better of her
sympathies. you had no time to
think about me. Why, you don't eve
know the color of my eyes. l suppose
you felt it was time you married, and
your mother approved OF me, and so
you condescended to honor me with
your hand, thinking | would be CRATE
full"
He was looking at her, but she re-
fused to meet his gaze. He was SO
surprised that he grew pale. His voice
was constrained as he answered her:
You are wrong about my not being
interested in what you do or say. l
have been thinking Of you, and you
only, since l first met you. / beg your
pardon for acting like a cad. l have
been spoiled all my life. My friends
and relatives are largely to blame for
my conduct. You did me good, for in
your quiet way you let me see m
times what a fool you thought me. l
ought 10 have seen that l bored you.
l tried to please you, and l was only
making you despise me-"
He had never looked SO manly Dr. SO

him, I-sSid he was clever, and he saw

AUGUST FLOWER.

1T is a surprising fact" says Prot
Houston, that in my travels in all
parts of the world, for the last ten
years l have met with more people
having used Green's August Flower
than any other remedy. for dyspepsia,
~deranged liver and stomach, and for
constipation. I find for tourists and
statesmen, or for persons filling office
positions, where headaches and general
bad feeling from irregular habits exist,
that Green's August Flower is a grand
remedy. 1t does not inture the system
by frequent use, and is excellent for

The murder Of Baron Won ketteler,
the late minister Of Germany at Picking,
has aroused the ire Of Germans through
ont the civilized world, and no utter
ance of a ruler in modern times has
been received with the enthusiasm Of
that made by Emperor William at Will
helmshaven July 8. In his address to
the departing detachment OF marines
he said:
"The hre brand Of war has been hurl-
ed in the midst Of the most profound
peace. Unhappily. this was to me not
unexpected. A crime of u~nspeakable
trsolence, h%orrifying in its ~barbarity,

that while I speak they have already

punishment and vengeance. Events

Predicament of Well Known Wyoming
Lawyer at Atlantic City.

Cheyenne Leader: We learn 1y a
grapevine dispatch that Judge Fowler,
who Is visiting in the east, had quite
an amusing ana distressing experience
at the bathing resort at Atlantic City
recently.
With another Cheyenne man, the dig

undressed in one of the dressing rooms,

and are arranged in terrace style.
A fine swim was enjoyed, during
which, however, a wind come up that

Fowler gradually got a long ways away
from whence he started and when he

in his bathing suit which was just a

The enthusiasm for Bryan Is nothing
but a death rattle In the throats of the
democratic leaders. The rank and file
OF the democratic party have had about
all they desire OF the Bryan principles
of government. Bryan differs from
Cleveland only in his populistic ideas.
He has all Of Cleveland's faults and
none OF his virtues. Cleveland was for
honest money. Bryan is for cheap
money, money that will buy half as
much of the products OF the soil as the
present money of the people will buy.
Cleveland favored the maintenance OF
law and order. Bryan hedges on the
proposition and talks like a demagogue.
Like Cleveland, he advocates free trade,
a policy that almost ruined all the in
dustries of the west at the time it was
tried through the operation Of the Will
son law. Wyoming. being a great stock
state. can have no sympathy with free
trade, as It would in the future, as 1t
has in the past, reduce the price OF
wool. hides, horses, beef and mutton.
