HeIen's Hostility.
BY AID. II. GIBSON.

Copyright 1901 BY Daily Story Pub. Coz
@-eIen Gilman was a successful
young ranchwoman on Bear Creek in
Nebraska Five years ago she had
come to the state and invested her
earnings as teacher in cattle, preempt-
ing an excellent piece OF land. Her
fine health and good head for busi-
ness had enabled her to attain a sue
cess beyond her most sanguine eXpec-
tations
I'D be perfectly happy now" she
said to her sister. a girl of 16. who
lived with her. ''if could have held
that claim until you were of age.
And to think man should get 1t, and
worst of all that man, Ellery Chase.
the son Of the lawyer who caused our
father to lose his property in Michi-
gan by finding some flaw in the deed.
It's an outrage, None of the neigh
boring ranchmen would touch that
land as long as l kept my cattle graz
ing there. and now that young man
must come here and gobble up the
claim right from under my very nose. -
We'll. Helen, we could hardly expect
that so fine a claim would remain un
taken till the law would let me hold
it," said Lottie. For my part I'm
not sorry that Ellery Chase has taken
it. He's so handsome and pleasant.
Then he's not to blame for what his
father did
mo, but I object to his takin- the
land" answered Helen. "One thing
sure. he'll not find me sociablo neigh
bor."
Lottie laughed
There's no need nursing your dis
said. for intend to be mistress of it
some day"
why, Lottie Gilman. what do you
mean?" demanded her sister.
''I'll marry Ellery Chase and get the
claim after ALL" she returned in her
teasing tones.
a few days after this dialogue be-
tween the sisters, Ellery Chase rem
dered the young ranchwoman n service
by finding and returning to her herd
some 'strays" which she had thought
were hopelessly lost Helen Gilman
was riding along on her pony, inspect
ing some of her cattle, when ENery
drove up the strays and in straight
forward way explained how and where
he had found them.
Very kind in you, Mr. Chase" she
said in icy tones. How much do
owe you for this service?"
Nothing, Miss Gilman" he replied.

too, so we could live old-maid catt's
queens on adjoining claims
Ellery Chase laughed merrily. but he
mentally decided to break up this "old
maid scheme" as he called it, more
effectually than he had already But
he soon discovered that it was not so
easy to overcome the ranchwoman' 5
prejudices, and often he returned from
the arena of his efforts feeling almost
hopelessly vanquished by Helen Gil
mans GOODNESS. But he went on being
pleasant and attentive to her when
ever they met. Lottie and Ellery had
grown to be the best of friends, but
months went by making Helen no
friendlier than at first.
One day Helen set out to transact
some business that took her across the
Platte River. She started to cross the
stream by an Old ford not often used
Her pony had traversed only few
feet when she realized that the animal
was making no progress. He was
merely lifting one foot after another,
and withdrawing 1t with a peculiar
sucking SOUND.
"Quicksand!" she said, with a little
apprehension. 81 never heard there
was any st this ford"
She urged her pony forward, and the

neighboriy turn don't hesitate to ask
me-"
Thank you" she said. even more
coldly than before, and she rode away
toward her house.
"A Nova Zembla iciclc would be
warm compared with her reception"
he said, with whistle. "Jove! She
makes a beautiful figure on that pony.
and what perfect health she pos
sesses,"
That very evening he happened to
meet Lottie at the postoffice. and as
he rode back with her ne asked her
why her sister was so cool toward him.
After a little hesitancy. with her char
acteristic frankness, Lottie told him.
And So" he commented with a
smile, your sister has double grudge
against me: / took the claim your
sister had in view for you, and l hap
pen to be the son of lawyer who
won case against your father, when
we were all chlld:en. Well, 1t is
strange, isn't it? But I'm going to

animal. with a terrified snort. tried to
obey her, but succeeded only in max
ing a wild struggle that almost un-
seated his rider.
Realizing the danger of her position
Helen attempted to turn her pony back
to the shore, but the creatures efforts
to do this merely served to sink him
further in the yielding. Shiny mass
that seemed to rise up to enfold them.
With increasing apprehension Helen
felt her heroic little pony sinking
deeper and deeper in the treacherous
quicksand. Little bubbles os water be
gan to appear over the surface OF the
sand, and before she knew it the pony
had sunk to its sides in the shiny sub
stance. Despairing of being able to
extricato the animal, the now terri
fed woman lifted herself in the saddle
and called for help.
At last the clatter of horses feet
told her that some one was coming.
Whizz! Then a strong lariat set
tied down over her shoulders, and Ell
lery Chase's voice called to her.
Keep cool, Miss Gilman. Slip the
lariat down under your arms"
She did as he commanded. and slow
ly but safely she was lifted from the
saddle and drawn across the quivering
sand. Then her nerves gave way and
she tainted.
Miss Gilman" said Ellery. about a
week after the rescue from the quick
sand. Il am going away"
Why" she asked with startled
look.
81 cannot stand it to live near you
and not be more to you than 1 am,'-
he answered.
Stay then" she said. holding out
her hands to him, with the light of
love in her eyes.
and so l am to have the claim after
ALL" laughs Lottie; Il suppose l must
be satisfied, but Helen carries off the
better part of the bargain. But Pm
glad hostilities have ceased and Ell
lery is to be my brother"

Louis Philippe was never known as
the King of France. He reigned as
King of the French ascending the

his own will. In 1S4S a revolution

LONDON FOG'S COST.
Such An Atmospheric Observation Costs
Pretty Penny.

Such Atmospheric Observation Costs
Pretty Penny.
a London fog is an expensive yisi-
tation, says the London Chronicle. A
day of it, counting the day at eight
hours, is estimated to cost anything
from $4,000 to 100000 in hard cash.
No small proportion of this goes to the
gas and electric light companies, which
have to supply about third more
power than usual. But there are also
the railways. Fog signaling is expen-
sive. At Clapham Junction alone $50
has been spent by a single railway
company during a days fog in extra
pay to the platelayers. When the
red light cannot be seen at a distance
of 100 yards the platelayers become
fog signalers, and for this they are
paid a shilling a day in addition to
their regular wages, and fourpence per
hour overtime, provided the overtime
does not run into a second shilling.
Fog signals, like the cuckoo, are more
frequently heard than seen, and, like a
number of things, such as babies, cats,
and crickets, make an amount of noise
altogether out OF proportion to their
size. The largest of those in use is
scarcely bigger than a crown piece and
is a quarter of an inch in depth. The
little tin box contains a teaspionful OF
gun powder and three percussion caps
and is fitted to the rail by lead rib
bon. They come from Birmingham
mostly, and they cost exactly a penny
apiece. hundred and fifty thousand
or so are purchased by big railway
company in the year, and there are
not many left over at the end of it.

faith and influence she inspires is her
fine discretion in dealing with every
pupil.
| Many of the women who come to her
prefer to keep their identity a secret
from the others whose names may be
on her books, and in consequence hor
pupils are instructed separately.
The Curriculum.
Her system is to teach entirely
through actual demonstration, giving
the pupil a part to learn and then act
it out with her. She possesses a full
library of light society comedies that
| present nearly all the situations of
modern fashionable life, and scenes
from these are studied and then re-
bearsed. Under the most careful criti-
cism, direction and encouragement, the
pupil is drilled, even to the motions of
her body. the infections of her voice
and her facial expression.
Sometimes the whole scene will be
acted out before long mirror, and
harsh laugh, an awkward gesture or a
| false pronunciation is commented UPON
| and corrected. Oft enough the draw
ing stage is arranged with a dinner
! table or an afternoon tea corner and
instruction to fit the occasion is the
| accompaniment. With school girls the
| actress pror' ITS, directs and corrects
with a book of etiquette at hand;
teaching her pupil how to write notes,
send or leave her cards, offer regrets,
| congratulations, and condolences, and
enter a ballroom and accept CT refuse
a dance.
On the strength of her unique posi-
ton this social trainer enjoys peculi-
arly confidential relations with her
pupils. Women confess to shyness,
their lack of capacity for commanding
attention or interest; to her they
frankly admit their sense of social
failure. and in turn she freely points
out the most glaring defects and sug-
ges.s a remedy. Dress. voice. bearing,
all come under her inspection and
analysis, and, as she candidly admits
herself. no woman is hopeless sub
ject for reformation.

and application; just as a clever poodle
learns to jump through a hoop and

they will become second nature with
