felt like crying, too, and but for the
smiling countenance he adored he
might have done SO. He was the last
to leave the pier. When the Cleopatra
had vanished from sight he started
homeward. The difference between
his condition and that of his wife was
that she felt as if she were just en-
tering a state of freedom, while he
had sold himself into bondage, of
body and soul.
1t was five o'clock in the afternoon
when he reached Lyndhurst. He
heard Blanche singing as she sat at
the piano in the drawing-room, and
when he went in he saw Miss Dean
and Talley standing near her. They
all came towards him.
Eve have been waiting tea for you.

him her hand; sand we have planned

"But, really, won't you have one
cup?" pleaded Blanche, all tenderness
and sympathy.
"Not this afternoon, DEAR" and he
turned from the room.

ODD LoNGINGs OF CHILDREN.
They Want Money Purses, Scent Bot
ties and G0ld-Headed
Canes.

"Children's wants are often surprls-
ing" said the matron of an institution
for homeless little ones, according to
the Chicago Inter Ocean. "Once there
came here a poor, little, neglected,
half-starved, lame girl.
"a charitably disposed woman took
her for a drive. On the way home she
brought the child through the shop
ping district.
SNOW, tell me what you want most
of every thing you have seen. Is it a
doll?'
"'Please, ma'am, I'd like a bottle of
SCENT was the unexpected answer, as
she pointed to bottle of cologne"
On another occasion lady who was
visiting the Institution asked a small
bow what she must bring him for
Christmas. "a walking-stick with a
gold head" he said quickly.
"That is the way with the children"
the matron explained. "They have
never been used to playthings and
they don't miss them.
can instance of this was an orphan
who had been banged around during
her seven years of life from one poor

been able to give her more than barely
enough to eat and few old cast-of
rags for clothes.

shouted. That's what I've always

The captain glanced past her and
tried to catch Mrs. Nolan's glance,
but this woman was looking off in the
opposite direction, her face deathly
white, and twitching with excitement.
"You were saying that the sailors
are superstitious bJ nature" he
fioundered about in his effort to ap-
pear both respectful and to get at her
meaning.
"Yes, and you see, passing so many
dead bodies of men, women and chill
dren would make them more so. I
can't bear it. There are more of
them on this side of the ship than
the other"
why, what do you mean?" he
gasped. Madam, there are no dead
bodies here"
Mrs. Goddard fared up and gave
him her eyes steadily.
'My husband has instructed you to
deceive me, too," she cried. "Lucy
said you would agree with her. You
are all in the plot to worry me-to kill
me-"
She rose suddenly and dropped her
rug at her feet.
81 am going to my stateroom and
try to sleep, but what does closing my
eyes amount to? I can see them just
the same"
The captain was on his feet almost
with her to the door of her room.
Then, with face much disturbed, he
came back to Mrs. Nolan. He put his
finger on his brow significantly.

said, in the peremptory tone of SUI

ibid you know her mind was-was so
when you left America with her?"
"She told me she had strange feelings
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., but that the
ocean always cured her"
"Does her family know of her condi-

Mrs. Nolan shook her head doubt
fully.

was leaving home to keep them from
finding out the truth"
"Ah!" he sat silent for a moment, then
he rose. eff she is not better soon you
must let me know, do you under

81 will do so, sir; but am sure she
will give us no trouble. I will go see if
she wants anything"
When Mrs. Nolan reached the state
room she found her companion on the
bed smiling from rigidly expectant
face; her eyes were cleaning with half
amused fear. She drew Mrs. Nolan
down on the edge of the bed.
"What did he say after left?"

ing to fall into her mood. Just then
one of the deck hands came in with
Mrs. Nolan's steamer trunk and small
er luggage. A large willow basket to
which was attached card bearing
the advertisement Of a well-known
delicatessen establishment riveted the
rowing glance of the major. Noting
his curious stare at it, Mrs. Nolan
moved nearly to the door ana stood
looking out at the Gathering machines
which were hosting vast loads of
trunks and boxes from the pier below.

dered Lucy to get for me-" said Mrs.
Goddard, her face suddenly changing.
81 always find that it is difficult to
get just the right kind of fruit one
wants on board, no matter how good
the supply isl
But" said the major, bending down
and removing the cover, "they must
have made some mistake. This bas-
ket does not contain fruit. There GER
tainly are cans of meats, sardines,
pate de foies gras and rolls of boned
turkey. They have sent you the
wrong basket"
Mrs. Goddard laughed uneasi1y.
"Well, I may as well acknowledge
that it is something to eat. did
not want you to know that I could
have such ravenous appetite after
parting with you; but the truth is,
the sea air keeps me hungry all the
time. I want to eat at night when
it doesn't look respectable to make
demands on the ships larder. Now,
come out on deck. It is stuffy in here.
The air will not be stirring till we
get out of the harbor."
Not fully satisfied with her Hurried
explanation, he followed her out on
the deck, and he dismissed the sub
ject as unworthy of comment at such
an important moment. They strolled
along the deck, now holding so or 60
passengers, most of whom, with seri-
Gus eyes, were regarding the crowd
assembled below. At last the gong
which was the signal for those who
were not to sail to go ashore-was
sounded, and Goddard grew actually
white as he clutched his wife's hand.

''You know how this parting is kill

"Our meeting soon or-never de-

ply.
81 fondly hope you will find some
other way" he said, in despair.
"You need not count on that, DEAR"
she said. "Now kiss me and CO."
AS he went down the gang plank he
had to hold to the railing to be sure
of his foothold. Reaching the pier, he
stood in the ranks along the waters
edge, his eyes glued to a single face
on the deck of the ship, which was be-
ginning to move. An old woman near
him, who was waving farewell to
her daughter. was sobbing aloud; he

CHAPTER VIII.
BY Will NJ FEagbeD.

AS the major and his wife were be-
ing driven up to the pier where the
Cleopatra lay, his agitation increased.
"It will soon be over" he sighed.
"You will cable me as soon as you
land, won't you, Jeanne?"
There was just hint of hesitation
in the look she gave him, then:
eyes, dear Rowland" she said, "the
moment I land; but my letters, re-
member, must go to the box"
81 shall simply haunt the place." he
declared.
They alighted from the cab and
hurrying throng of cabmen, draymen,
passengers and people who had come
to see their friends off. Reaching
the gang plank, lowered for the ac-
commodation of the saloon passen-
gers, they saw Mrs. Nolan on the up
per deck leaning against the railing
and trying to attract their attention.
Mrs. Goddard laughed merrily and
waved the bit of cambria she held in
her hand.
Lets go right up" she said to her
rooms. You will agree with me that it
IS better to go in boat that is not
quite SO fast than to miss such quarters
as have engaged"
He complied. The attention her
beauty and stylish appearance had at
tracted from the bystanders had not
escaped his eye. His heart was beat
ing madly as he followed her up the
gangplank to the first deck. In a mo-
ment they were shaking hands with
Mrs. Nolan. Goddard's handshake was
a mere cold formality. He now hearth
" disliked his wife's homely confeder-
ate. He despised her for being weak
enough to obey Jeanne's criminal or
ders; she had not, he argued, his own
excuse of being blindly in love. AS they
stood there he felt as if they were
three murderers passing before the
world as reputable, well-to-do citizens.
''Well, let me see your staterooms,' -
he said, resignedly.
They are on this deck, the last
towards the STERN" said Mrs. Goddard,
leading the way. ''In fact, there are
no other apartments up here except the
captains, and his quarters are further
forward, We shall be absolutely pri-
yate."
They had now reached a door to
which Mrs. Nolan had the key, and
they unlocked it and went in. It was
indeed spacious apartment. In addi-
ton to the wide double bed, the room
contained soft lounge, a'tea table and
china service, and little sideboard
braced against the wall. Adjoining it
were bath and single-berth ROOM,

idly, and she cringed under Goddard's
sudden gaze. "He gave them to me just
now"

INDIAN MISSIONARIES STORY.
Years of Toilsome Ministry Among
the Choctaws.

Little York, Ind, April Especially.
twenty-five years ago, the Rev. C.
H. Thompson left Indiana. For q
time he preached in Arkansas, after
wards entering on the regular mis-
sionary work among the Choctaw In
dams.
For five years, he lived and labored
among the full bloods of the western
prairies, until on April 5th, 1885, hav-
ing lost his wife, he left the circuit
on which he had preached so long,
and commenced travelling missionary
work among the Indians of the vari-
Gus Tribes scattered in the West.
This irregular work involved
great deal of travel over the prairies.
The drinking of so much alkali wa.
ter, brought on Kidney Troubles
which terminated in Diabetes.
Finally, while laboring among the
Creek Indians at Wagner, Indian
Territory, this noble man was stricl1-
en- down completely. A Chicago Spe-
cialist was summoned, and after q
careful examination, declared that
there was not the slightest chance
OF his recovery. Besides the pre-
scriptions of the doctors, he tried
many other medicines, but all to no
avail. He says:
81 had concluded that my days
were drawing to close, when
picked up an Almanac telling of the
cures of Diabetes by the use Of
Dodd's Kidney Pills. I sent for two
boxes. I gained strength and spirits
from the time commenced to use
them, and SO sent for more. am
now completely cured, and have not
the slightest symptom of my old
trouble.
81 am 6s years Of age. tell every
body of the wonders Dodd's Kidney
Pills have done for me. I can certain
" endorse them heartily, and vouch
that they are all that is claimed for
them. They have certainly been n
God-send to me-"
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the only
Remedy that has ever cured Bright's
Disease, Diabetes or Dropsy and they
never fail.

merical increase being 4S2,699. In
1870 the population has become 1,194,
020, which represented a numerical
increase for the preceding decade of
519,107, the largest gain for any ten
years in the history of the state.
The population of Iowa in 1900 is
more than 81 times as large as the
population reported for 1910. the first
census taken after it's organization as
