Just We Two.

 Just we two, love, only we two; To drink the honey wine of life And never taste the rue To find the sunshine ever fair, The sky a tender blue. And rich with joy the balmy air, And love forever true. Just we two. love, only we two To let the mad world swing along As it is wont to do. To see within each others eyes The happy thoughts pursue, A perfect faith our paradise,
 Each day of love renew. Just we two love, only We two; To make of life a summer bright. Where storms can never brew. My heart to be in all the years A shelter warm for you, And Mays sun drink the April tears, While yet the skies are blue. Just we two, love, only we two: No matter if the world forgot
 Our world would still be true For love would guard the holy spot, The oak and not the yew Protect the sweet forget-me-not. And love forever woo.

COAL AND IRON DIVIDEND.

The directors of the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company have passed the quarterly dividend ON the
common stock. This action is the sequel TO the
extravagant declaration OF a per cent quarterly
last spring. The following statement was
made at the close of the directors meeting:
The Executive Committee of the Tennessee Coal.
Iron and Railroad Company declared the usual dvi-
dend on the preferred stock and on the recon-
mendation of the president the dividend on tue
common stock was not declared for the reason
that, although the company had earned during tne
last year per cent on it's common stock, it was
not deemed prudent TO distribute the money among
the stockholders, in view OF the very large ex-
pendtureS already made and to be made IN ne"
construction now In progress. for which no new Sc
curities have been issued. The company Is now

Dean, with his treasure package and
little escort, rode forth from Emory on
that perilous mission-the very morn
ing that BirdsaH and his murderous
gang set forth from Gate City in pur-
suit.
And now those hoofbeats up the
road were coming closer. and Fol-
som, too, could hear and was listen
ing, even while studying Loring's
face. Suddenly faint CLEAN shot
across the darkness overhead. Glanc-
ing quickly upward, both men. deep
in the shadow, saw that the eastern
window on the southern side was
lighted up. Out in the alleyway low
yet clear, whistle sounded-twice.
Then came cautious footsteps down
the back stairs. The bolt of the rear
door was carefully drawn. A wom-
ans form, tall and shrouded in long
cloak, came swiftly forth and sped
down the garden walk to the rear gate.
"Come on, quick!" murmured tho en-
gineer, and on tiptoe, wondering, the
two men followed. They saw her halt
at the barred gate. Low, yet distinct
she spoke a single name: ''George!"
And without. in the alley voice an
.wered: 81 am here! open quick!"
"Swear that you are alone!"
"Oh, stop that damned nonsense! OF
course I'm alone!" was the sullen re-
ply, and at the sound of the voice Lor
ing seemed fairly to culver. The gate
was unbarred. A mans form, slender
and shadowy, squeezed in and seemed
peering cautiously about. "You got
my note?" he began. "You know
what's happened?"
But woman's muff1ed scream was
the answer. With spring like a cat
Loring threw himself on the intruder
and bore him down. In an instant Fol-
som had barred the gate, and the wom-
an, moaning, fell upon her knees.
Mercy! Mercy!" she cried. ''It is
all my fault. I sent for him.
Take your hands off, damn you, or
you'll pay for this!" cried the under
most man. I'm Capt. Newhall, of the
army"
you're thief" answered Loring,
through his set teeth. '"Hand over the
key of that safe!"
The sound of hoofbeats at the front
had suddenly ceased. There was a
sputter and scurry in the alley behind.
Full half a dozen horses must have
gone tearing down to the east. Other
lights were popping in the windows
now. Folsom's household was alarmed.
Attracted by the scream and the sound

One year ago to-day, beloved,
God gave thee angel-wings
That thou might'st soar to realms above
Where angels walk and seraph sings.
Whom hast thou seen these months. be-
loved,
In that dear land so bright?
Did loved ones meet thee at the gate
With raptures of delight?
What has thou done these months, beloved /?
Where hast thou daily wrought?
Full well know, with loving deeds
Each moment has been fraught.
Hast thou been oft with me. beloved.
On comfort mission sent?
Hast DER my tear-wet couch at night
In tender pity bent?
Would could lay my cheek, beloved,
Close up to thine once more;
And tell thee all within my heart,
Just as did of yore.
And thou couldst speak to me, beloved,
Of all the visions rare
That dawn upon thy wond ring sight
In yonder mansions fair.
But Gods sweet will be done. beloved.
In patience will wait
Till His own hand shall lift the latch
That opes the "pearly gate
And thou with radiant smile, beloved.
Wilt haste to meet me there.
What seems my cross will prove my crown
When Heaven with thee share

CHAPTER XIII.

Five days later the women and chill
dren from Warriors Gap, most of them
bereaved, all of them unnerved by the
experiences of that awful day, arrived
at Fort Frayne, escorted by strong
command of infantry and all that was
left of the cavalry troop at the stock
ade. A sad procession it was as it slow
ly forded the Platte and assembled the
winding road to the post, where sor-
rowing, sympathetic army women met
and ministered to them. With them,
too, came such of the wounded as could
be moved, and at the head of the little
squad of horse rode Lieut.. Dean,
whom the post commander and several
officers greeted almost effusively.
Yet almost the first question was:
Did you see any Indians?"
''Not one" answered Dean. 'They
seem to have drawn away from the Big
Horn road entirely. Why do you ask %
he added, anxiously.
"There were signal fires out at
Eagle Butte last night, and I've just
had letter from old Folsom at the
ranch on the Laramie. He begs us to
send guard at once and I haven't
horseman. There's been the devil
to pay at young Folsom's place."
Deans face went a shade paler
Whats happened?" he asked
"a dozen of his best horses run off
by Birdsall's gang. probably to re-
place those they lost in the flood, and
Hal himself was shot and left for
dead in the hills. He'd died but for

Folsom, covering him with his revolver.
