her father and Lyle, were her world;
and he had been gone fourteen years,
| her father six. She called herself
"Daddie's boy in her baby days, and
at the last Doctor Owen had put his
weak hand on her head and said
More to me than twenty sons" and
Ora was repaid for her lifelong de-
yotion.
The next day Ora received note
from Philip, telling her of his love, and
asking If he might come that afternoon
for his answer. She wrote YES" and
went her rounds strangely preoccupied
and came home at dinner time, still
undecided as to what her answer would
be. But she put few red geranium
blossoms in her black dress, and went
out to 1he gsasan.

Have you no welcome for me,
Orra?" he asked.

Fourteen weary wasted years, Lyle.
Why did you leave me?"
Her voice sounded hard and far
away; she wondered at it in a dim way.
II was Jealous, dear-a fool and

how great was my love for you. So
said, I will not stand between those
two; they are young; I will go away
and they will be happy Last year. in
Africa, I heard that he had married
and you were free, and I came home
to ask you to forgive me and forget the
past"
Philip Hartman came through the
office into the garden and stood behind
them. Ora looked at him, and in a
fash read her own heart.
ooh, Lyle, it is too late'" she cried.
Nothing can ever be as it was. for

"There is another?" he asked, with
a yearning look at her white face.

Lyle
He turned and walked away slowly,
like one grown suddenly old. Then
Philip came and stood before her, and
the light in his eyes was dazzling.
"Orra, my darling, are you going to
send me away also?"
You heard what that man said"
Her voice was almost harsh. II loved
him once. Knowing this, do you care
to have me for your wife?"
For answer he held out his arms,
and with a half sob the new woman
crept into them as il they were her
only earthly refuge. She had found
her own at last.

Adams Lays OFF Men,

About 200 men were laid off at the
Adams mine at Eveleth Friday. Lat
er in the season the force may be in
creased again to the extent which it
has just been reduced. The Adams
mine has been employing about 800
men and has been producing heavily.
The heavy production, in connection,
with a late opening of navigation,
has had the effect of huge stock piles.
The production was.getting ahead of
present necessities and an order was
given to reduce the force for the pre-
sent. The Adams became a shipper
in 1895 and since then has shipped
2, 1853, 121 gross tons. Even with the
reduction of 200 men it still employs
600, 1t is altogether probable that
had no delays on account of the mar.
inc engineers strike, it would not
have been necessary to curtain pro
duction at any point. Under the cir
cumstances, however, there was sur
plus of Adams ore and the production
was accordingly curtailed.

on tour of inspection OF the mines

docks, railroads and ships OF the great
concern. The large interests OF
ploy in the aggregate about $4,000
men. Mr.. Gayley was asked in what
respects Duluth will be directly bene-
flied by the steel consolidation. He
said: Duluth is, as you know, the
headquarters Of the steamship line of
the steel company. and it is also to be
the headquarters of the mining in
dustry. Duluth in future will bear
the same relation to our ore and ore
steamships interests that Cleveland
has. 1t is Il relation which. l think.
will give this city much pestige and
many material benefits. All of the
officers of both the Pittsburg steam
ship and the mining companies, with
the exception of Mr.. Clemson of the
former, will reside in Duluth, includ-
ing DR.. n. p Hulst of Milwaukee"

because it would cost SO much to

Big Deal In Pine.

The Tower Lumber company, OF
Tower. has just made an extensive
purchase of standing pine in ella,
from Day Bros, of Duluth. A. c.
Gilman is also interested in the sale.
The consideration for the timber was
SITS 900, and this said to have been
paid on basis of SIS a thousand feet.
The timber is much scattered over
the land making it rather expensive
to log. 1t is said that the pine would
have brought about $3.50 thousand
feet more had it been more compact.
1t is said that Day Bros. have made a
large amount of money on their in
vestment. They have been very
successful ia pine land operations. 1t
is estimated that they have made at
least S75, 900 on an Investment OF $780,
600, made during the past year. 1t
will be recalled that Day Bros. sold
out large tract of pine near Winton
about Is months ago at a handsome
profit.
The logs will be delivered at the

He Sends his Bills to the Nj en-.

"There is a man i'm an Eastern city
who does large business i'm babies
dresses, and clothing for very young
Children. writes Edward Box, in
The Ladies' Home Journal for June.
He makes and sells nothing else.
His trade is almost entirely with
women. Up to within three years
ago he would send out to his custom
ers bills amounting to as much as
$4,000. In six mon tbs time he would
receive less titan $4,000 In return. Yet
his customers all stood we'll and
were considered women of easy means.
Then lie deliberately changed his
method of rendering bills. He went
over his books and found that he had
some 1000 worth of unpaid accounts.
He made out the bills, and addressed
them to the husbands or fathers OF
his customers, directing the bills to
their offices. Within sixty days lie
had received $4,000 in checks, His in
variable rule now is to send all his
bills to the husbands, fathers or the
male members of his customers
families. When no male member eX
lists lie insists upon cash transac'
ton"
