CHAPTER VII.

IL was christmas Eve, n true olu-
fashioned Christmas weather.
The country round Temple-Dene
was glittering with hoar-frost. every
tree shining and sparkling In the SUM-,
every pond and stream and pool fast
bound In ice.
The low. red u OF the afternoon
was shining full on the old house. sur
rounded by the frost-silvered pines,
and its many windows twinkled a
brilliant welcome to the expected heir
and his bride.
There had been a great stir, a sim
roof during the weeks preceding
Christmas.
Lady Jane had done wonders in
fr%eshening UP the furnished and faded
glories of the home. She had a free
hand. to be sure. in her Wholesale i'm
provements; for could not Gervis af-
ford to pay any amount OF bills that
might ensue?
"If ! could only rouse up poor dear
Francis, before they come home" the
busy lady said, energetically.
But the master OF Temple-Dene was
the sole member of the house indiffer-
ent to the advent Of the heir and his
ton he sat ~listless and silent in his
library, 'the world forgetting, by the
world forgot"
IL II had not been for Leila Des-
mond, II would have Jared Ill for the
stricken man. The gentle-natured
girl, with heart full OF womanly in
s%tincts, felt irresistibly drawn To the
lonely, silent man. He and she had a
grief in common. and 1t bound them
together. 1t was only at the sound OF
Leila's sweet voice. and the touch OF
Leila's tender hand, that Francis Tenn
pleton aver stirred from his trance OF
misery.
But even Leila could not make the
unhappy nan comprehend that Tenn
ple-Dene was saved, nor could he take
in the meaning OF the light-hearted
preparations going on around.
I'm glad, glad, that Uncle Francis
doesn't care. that he won't care!" said
little Syb almost yiciously to her elder
sister.
The m~isshapen girl looked on almost
as gloomily at the hurry and fuss as
did the master OF the house. She
clenched her thin little fingers every
time the bland, self-satisied tones. so
new in Lady James voice. fell on her
ear.
Little Syb"-Ieila turned her visit
ful eyes on the girl-"it hurts me when
you speak so!"
Hurts you? Oh. / could beat you,
! Leila, II ] didn't love you go dreadful
ly that | should kill anyone who struck
you! Hurt you? Oh, why were you
made so good and I made 80 bad? All
the time I am wishing that some ac-
cident will happen TO those two-a
shipwreck or a railway collision-and
that they will never. never reach Tenn
ple-Dene!"
"Syb!" again cried Leila. And this
time she gathered the distorted little
figure on her lap, and laid her own
soft round cheeks against the passion
white lips. What has come TO you,

HoNoRS FOR DEAD sENANoR
Remains of &. X. Davis Lie In state ut
Capitol.

For five hours Friday, Nov. 81, the
stream of people of all ages aud con-
ditions slowly filed through the COVER
nor's rooms In the state capitol to take
a last look on the silent and l~ifeless
body which has for sixty-two years
housed the spirit and clear brain of
Cushman Kellogg Davis, former COVER
nor of Minnesota and thirteen ,vcars
in the senate of the United States.
The occasion was an impressive
one, and even the smallest of the
many children who were in the long
line seemed to realize the loss that had
come to the state of Minnesota and
the nation. Nearly 10000 people passed
the silent form, paying their last tri-
butte of respect with "a look OF regret
and In some cases with a sob as II of
a personal loss. Not alone the people
of his home city, hut from all parts of
the state ca,ne citizens of all creeds
and politics, of all colors and condi-
tions in life to show their esteem for
the honored dead.
The military escort. which, con-
sisted Of Company ID of the First regi-
ment, Minnesota national guard, under
Captain NJ. l.. Merrill, most of whom
were veterans of the Philippine cam
paign as members of the famous Thir-
teenth Minnesota volunteers. and n de.
tachment Of Battery A, Minnesota ma
;ional guard, under Lieutenant Allen,
acted as body bearers. Leavin x
the house the funeral procession head
ed by mounted and foot dctachments
OF police, marched slowly to the capitol.
The coffin was carried between lines
of mourning citizens into the build
ing, where it was placed on n catafal-
que in the governors south chamber.
The main corridor of the building was
drap"d simply in somber Grape. In
the center of the chamber lay the body,
underneath n chandelier, hung with
crepe and smilax.
The escort formed in double column
at once, and the waiting assemblage
OF people, representing all classes OF
society, passed slowly by the open cot
FIN to take a last look at the man who
had honored his state while serving it.

KILLED IN A WRECK
Score Of Persons Lose Their Lives
In a Collision.
TW0 TRAINS MEET AT HlGil SPffD


A San Antonio Tex. dispatch says:
A terrible wreck in which n score of
persons were killed and about sixty
hurt occurred on the Mexican Central
railroad between Tamanabha and ST.
mon, fifty miles south of Jimulco.
Edward Rische, IA citizen of San An
tonic, was al the scene twenty min

mense hills.
At the time both trains were running

had on board a construction crew
numbering $50 men. The other was a
freight of iifty-tivc empty cars. Three
engines and about forty ears were
piled up thirty feet high.
Two Americans, train employees,
were forced to flee to avoid being
lynched.
The names OF the killed and injured

the most serious wreck that has ever
occurred in Mexico.
Jimulco is "a division point on the
Mexican Central, being headquarters
Of the third division.
In Mexico employees Of a train must
suffer death IL fatalities attach to a
