"Did you want to see me, guGrdian2"
As she spoke, she held out her hands.
He took them and stood for moment
gravely looking into her eyes.
"You have been unhappy, Blanche"
he said.
How could | be otherwise, and
you" her voice failed her and she
coughed to disclaim that it was due
to rising emotion.
81 know | have not done my duty"
he said. But ! want to begin.
Blanche, would you like to have me
stay more at home than l have since
since Jeanne went away"
"Oh, l wish you would" she an
swered, quickly. "You can't imagine
how l have worried. You know / could
not tell what might have happened
to you"
blanche" He felt something grasp
his heart as he hesitated. 1t may have
been the hand of his conscience-the
revolving of his better nature. Then
something like the worst form of his
recent despair seemed to settle on his
brain. He felt that he was cropping
towards the accomplishment of an un-
pardonable deed.
blanche, il / were to ask you to be
my wife. would you consent-could
you, knowing how feel about the
the other?"
He felt her soft warm hands grasp
his tightly. For moment she stood
with eyes downcast, then she looked
up and said frankly:
"If you wished it should be so glad,
for something tells me | could then
help you, and to do that is what am
certainly praying for"
would you consent to an early mar
riage?"
81 should want to do as you liked
about'it."
would you not care for what peo-
pie would say about our haste in such
mattsr?"
"I should not care at ALL" She was
breathing rapidly. 81 should feel that
was acting right"
He hesitated a moment; then he
said:
"Will you marry me tomorrow? Rev,
|
here, along the river. Talley can first
see him and make the arrangements
win you drive there in the morning
] and become my wife?"
''If it is your wish, yes"
He drew her head towards him and
for a moment 1t rested on his shoulder
For an instant a memory of his court
ship of her during her school days
flashed into his mind and he expert
enced one of the old thrills which had
made him feel so much like boy again
Then he put her from him.
"Be ready, then, by IL o'clock" he
said. 81 shall speak to Talley al
once"
When she had left the room, a
strange, glorious light in her young
I face, he began again to walk the floor
He was tingling in every vein. His
heart had begun to beat excitedly. He
tried to think of Jeanne, the awful
| disease which was eating Blanche's
| life away, but he could only feel the
! pressure of his wards hands, the
warmth of her breath on his face, the
depth of her great, trustful eyes.
''Great God! what can this mean?'
he exclaimed.
He continued 10 walk back and forth
across the room for half an hour, then
he stopped suddenly and rang.
James obeyed the summons.
"Where is Mr.. Talley?" he asked.
"In the study, at work, sir James
saluted in military fashion.
That is all The major went to
the study, where he found his private
secretary at work at typewriter.

The next morning at the hour men,
Noned Mrs. Goddard was ready for her
bold dash for what she called liberty
She wore simple black dress and a
rather ,ong black veil. Mrs. Nolan had
bravely reconnotered for her; she had
gone down at the first bump of the ten
der against the side of the ship and
found the upper decks clear and the
lower one a chaos of struggling second
class passengers anxious to get ashore.
Mrs. Nolan returned with an air OF
great relief
"You'll have no trouble I honestly
believe" she declared. The place is
badly lighted and they will drive the
people on the tender like sheep. Go
right on. take the first fight of stairs
10 the right and you will be swallowed
up in the gang in a minute"
This opinion was well grounded
Mrs. Goddard crossed the deck, de-
soended the steps in question and found
herself in a throng Of passengers with
eyes only for the little boat ahead OF
them. Our adventures was soon on
the tender, and took the most remote
seat she could find in the stern of the
boat. 1t soon began to move.
The lights of Liverpool. lay along the
shore half a mile distant The black
hull of the Cleopatra loomed overhead
like threatening cloud. Mrs. God
dard held her satchel tightly in her
lap. 1t seemed such short distance
and yet the little boat seemed only tc
creep. She drew the foggy air deeI
into her lungs. II seemed so sweet aft.
er her close confinement. She would
feel that she had earned the right tc
her freedom when she got it. After
awhile, through the gray light of com
ang dawn, she began to discern the
buildings of the city.
A little later the tender was scrap
ing against the piles of the wharf. A,
she went ashore. Mrs, Goddard saw
shat two or three sleepy custom off

Paper Mill to BE sold.

Cedar Falls, Jan. sl.-Legal notice
was posted yesterday announcing that
in the case of the Northern Trust Com
pany vs.. the Columbia Straw Paper
Company, foreclosure by order Of the
United States district court, certain
prescribed property in various parts
OF the country would be sold by George
w. pnpee, special United States com
missioner. Among the list is what is
known as the Cedar Falls paper mill
property, which consists of the build
sings and real estate formerly used for
the purpose of manufacturing paper.
The sale will be cried from the court
house steps at II o'clock February "a.
Several Years ago the mill was alb
sorbed by the trust or Columbia Straw
Paper Company, and closed down. 1t
was bonded TO the Northern Trust
Company, and as was probably intend
ed in the beginning, was let SO by de-
fault of payment of interest.
