Wave of Prosperity.

Huron. and, in fact. every town in
Beadle county. as we'll AS the farming
districts, is being touched" with the
prosperity wave. Incoming trains on
the Northwestern and Great Northern
daily bring to the vicinity of Huron
new settlers, and while all do not To-
cate here or within the borders of this
county, a good share Of them stop and
are fast filling up the vacant farm
houses or are building new residences.
In Huron not a vacant house is to be
seen; places vacant for several years
are filled, and rooms over stores are
occupied by families. There are no idle
men; everybody is employed at good
wages. Carpenters and builders, me-
chanics of every kind, have no diff
Guilty in finding employment. The
same condition prevails in the country;
some farmers report difficulty in OBJ
tanning help for seeding and general
farm work. Some building is going on
in the city, but the bulk of the work is
in remodeling and rearranging houses.

house on the corner Of Third and Illi-
nois streets; it will be the largest and

pies it's new building, and are busy
making Williams potato planters. a
device recently patented by Mr.. Will
Jams Of this city, which is attracting
attention in every part Of the North
west. The company will not be able to
keep pace with the demand if their
business continues as at present, and
the capacity Of the plant will be in
creased. While there is no real boom,
Huron and the surrounding country is
coming in for large share of new set
tiers, and those locating there are Of
desira able class, thrifty. energetic and
substantial; just the class of people to
make good citizens and develop a new
country. Real estate transfers in town
and country are very numerous, and at
fair figures.

walked home with the words echoing
in her ears and look Of malicious tri-
umph in her eyes.
AS she repassed the open gate Of
Give Towers, she paused and glanced
In at the graceful group assembled on
the f1oWery terrace.
A riding expedition through the
shaded lane had been proposed, and the
young people were just preparing to
mount.
Fannie made the NEST bewitching Of
Di EernOns. in her dark-blue riding
habit. with her soft, brown tresses and
laughing face looking out from beneath
a masculine beaver.
Feuton Forest was refining in his
prancing military charger at her side,

pride Of his fathers stable, ere he trust

ans most malevolent glance was d.
rected. Sybil Wraye was in her simple
riding habit of olive-green, her lovely
hair knotted up beneath soft cavalier
hat. whose dropping plumes shaded her
beautiful face most becomiEgly, was a
picture that might have disarmed the
malice of any but sister-woman.
But Miss Marian Grey was a woman,

grew more ptless as she recognized

CHAPTER XVI.
A Morning Ride.

1t was chiefly for SYPHILIS benefit this
ride had been proposed. Dr. Bond had
suggested active recreation of all kinds
as the best tonic for his patient, and
Herbert and Fannie had, with praise
worthy earnestness, seconded his efforts
to arouse their guest from the state Of
nervous depression into which she had
fallen.
She started at every sound; the slight.
est whisper blanched her cheek to a
deathly pallor; she could neither rest Or
sleep. Some eVer-Dresent terror seemed
to haunt her night and day, and she
dropped beneath it, like the flower that
is Swallowed by the deadly boughs of
the Upas tree.
But, despite the cloud upon her hap
piness, the gentle girl had unconscious
ly entWined around her the affection Of
all at Give Towers. Not only Herbert
and Fannie, who were already captive
to her charms. but every servant in the
house rendered the unexacting guest
most willing attention; and even Mr..
Olives prejudice had somehow melted
away. and he had never carried out his
first intention of writing to Madam
Fleury and inQuiring from her the ante
cedents Of his daughters friend.
His stern. cold eyes often followed
Syblls falry-like form with q strange
interest. and though she avoided him
persistently, his tone. when they did
meet, was as gentle and kind as when
he greeted his own loved daughter.
Even stern, unyielding Robert Give
had ia Hen under Svhj]'c cno1I
Only this morning, as the horses were
being led out, he had stopped Herbert
with warning.
1.-The Arab is 4 little restive If Miss
Wraye is to ride her. be sure that the
grths are safe. Fairy is gentle, but as
you know. she is easy TO take fright; so
keep an eye on her.
Herbert smiled to himself as he as
sented. 1t was scarcely necessary to
warn him to watch the horse tina,
, Sybil rode.
Fannie and Fenton had dashed off in
mad race through the woods, and, for
| the first time since their. meeting by the
sunset river, now nearly a week ago,
Sybil and Herbert were alone
Their way led through a grassy lane,
,, bounded on either side by thickset
hedges and shaded by giant trees that
met in canopy over their heads Their
horses feet fell noiselessly upon the
grassy sward. In the silence Of the
summer morning they seemed brought
! again despite themselves face to face.
! Herbert felt strangely embarrassed
and constrained: his memory Of SYPHILIS
unconscious revelations We're still fresh
in his mind. He felt as guilty as
though he had stolen into the pure
! sanctuary of her maiden heart and
| robbed it of it's guarded treasures
But there was no trace of maiden
pride or maiden coyness in SYPHILIS man
/ ner-no reflection Of the blush and
Lsmile she had worn in her dream; only
the white rigid repressed expression Of
pain on every feature-the sudden,
frightened glance of the beautiful eye

made it serious enough now.

bless you for those words!' was the
raputurous reply. ''True to you, Fan.
ME! Darling, you are my own sweet
love. forever and forever You are my
own sweet love forever and foreverr'
Even with his words. a sharp report
rang out through the forest-the pistol
shot that had laid Sybil Wraye at her
lovers feet.
