When Jared Peters went west to help
the country grow up, Rose Hawthorne
thought her heart was broken. This
was logical sequence of the firm con-
vfction that she could not live without
Jared, which had led her to engage
herself to him. In accordance with this
fixed idea, she, for a day or two, re-
1used food, and mournfully contem-
plated the prospect of an early demise.
But an immature mind cannot long
dominate a young and healthy ply
sique- On the third day she made sew
eral surreptitious visits to the pantry;
on the fourth day she dined openly and
heartily; and the day after she was
startled by the discovery that she had
not thought of Jared for several hours.
The Sunday following Jared's de-
parture, she permitted Harold Winter
set. the son of wealthy manufacturer
from nefghboring city, to accompany
her home from church and 1inger for
an hour at the gate; and she was again
startled by the discovery that she en-
5oyed his society quite as much as
Jared's
Then she went upstairs and sat down
in the moonIit window to consider.
She had all the rules of love at her
Bngers' ends. She knew that Absence
makes the heart grow fonder,' that
true love never forgets or waivers for
the fraction of a second. She was
therefore forced to the conclusion that
she did not love Jared; that she never
had loved him; and the manufacturer $
son was allowed to call regularly.
Jared'S letters were intensely inter
esting- The little western town which
he had taken under his wing was on a
boom" He had already doubled his
small capital and was proceeding to
double it again. Rose had all the rules
of arithmetic also at her fingers ends
She knew something of geometrical
progression; and having become in
view of her large experience, skepticaI
In regard to the tender passion, she
planned her future operations on a
strictly commercial basis. After care
full consideration, she decided that
budding Western capitalist in the
hand was worth more than a wealthy
manufacturer son in the bush; so she
did not break her engagement; and
she did not mention Harold in her nu-
merous and entirely satisfactory let
ters to Jared.
Although his love was false. Jared
had one devoted admirer. From the
day it was declared that the red-faced
mite of humanity called Jared was the
image of his grandfather, the old man
had found his chief occupation in trac-
1ng his own characteristics in the
growing boy
He's a Peters, every inch of him, .

InSS on
Now Jared, absorbed in speculation
as he was, had kept a little corner
OF his heart for Rose; and thought
himself a miracle of constancy because
ne had not allowed another to share
it, There are pretty girls in Kansas:
and there was one in particular, with
wondrous dimples. that he had noticed.
just barely noticed you know-so he
made the customary remarks about fe-
male perfdy. He wrote Rose a biting
1etter-and tore it up; for a subtIer
revenge had occurred to him. He di-
vined that Rose preferred him to
Harold-if he succeeded in making
money; and he plotted accordingly.
From this date his correspondence
took dismal hue. The boom was
declining; and there were vague hints
OF pitfalls that ensare the unwary and
the inexperienced. Close on the heels
of these dire forebodings, followed a
rrmor that Jared had come home I'M
expectedly, looking very seedy; and it
was surmised, dead broke

Harold among them, promptly gath

nome conner, and learn the truth of the
matter One glance at the young
mans dolefuI face was enough. Dis
aster was written on it
At first he seemed 6isinclined to
talk; but numerous well put queries
hnally loosened his unwilling tongue
Among the friends Jared made in the
west was one who had been born un-
der an unlucky star. He was intelli-
gent and shrewd; but everything he
touched turned to ashes Where others
reaped golden harvests, he reaped mis-
fortune, and his affairs became serious
" involved He was too young to
know that while there Is life there is
nope; and one night, Jared who room
eo with him. came home to find his
friend stretched on the floor with a
ouilet through his head, and the
empty revolver in his own stifrening
right hand
With the ca1ousness of youth Jared
adapted this young fellows story to his
own uses Up to the eliminating
tragedy, he told 1t as his own. and told
1t well. He was clever actor. and
fully realized the dramatic possibili-
ties OF the situation
The stage setting was perfect A
rising thunder storm had dyed the
summer twilight an inRy black: and
continual flashes of lightning Hum

The following item is taken from
the Monroe City News:
Allen Young. of this vicinity, is
quarantincd at the home of his
promised bride, near Ccutcr, and
Il wedding that was to have been
celebrated last Tuesday night has
been postponed.
Allen and Miss WickcrSham
have been engaged and the we'd
ding was to take place early in the
spring. When he went to see his
sweetheart last Sunday he learned
that members of the family had
been exposed to the smallpox and
in order to get his best girl away
from danger he proposed to take
I her away then and convey her tO
, the home of his parents. Fo
some reason this plan was opposed
by the parents of the young lady
and he came home alone, But
Monday he took carriage and
went back after her, with the in.
tcntion of bringing her to the hom,
of his father, Zach loung, and
being married there Tuesday even,
