CHAPTER XIII.


Great was the excitement in Rice Cor
ner when it was known that on the even
Ing of the 10th of September a grand
wedding would take place in the house
of Mrs. Mason Mary was to be married
to the richest man in Boston, so the
story ran, and, what was better yet,
many of the neighbors were to be inyit-
ed. Almost every day, whether pleasant
or not, Jenny Lincoln came over to dis
cuss the matter, and to ask If 1t were not
time to send for William, who was to
be one of the groomsmen, while she to-
gether with Ida, were to oficiate as
bridesmaids. In this last capacity Ella
had been requested to act, but the tears
came quickly to her large mournful eyes,
and turning away, she wondered how
Mary could thus mock her grief!
From one fashionable watering place
to another Mrs. Campbell had taken her,
and finding that nothing there had power
to rouse her dropping energies, she had,
toward the close of the summer, brought
her back to Chicopee, hoping that old
scenes and familiar faces would effect
what novelty and excitement had failed
to do. All unworthy as Henry Lincoln
had been, his sad death had cast dark
shadow across Elias pathway. Hour
nfter hour would she sit, gazing upon
the locks of shining hair, which over land
and sea had come to her In letter from
her father, who told her of the closing
scene. when Henry called for her to cool
the heat of his fevered brow. Every
word and look of tenderness was treas
ured up. and the belief fondly cherished
that he had always loved her thus, else
why in the last fearful struggle was she
alone remembered of all the dear ones IN
his distant home?
The bridal day was bright, beautiful
and balmy, as the first days of Septem-
her often are, and when the sun went
down, the full silyery moon came softly
mn. as if to shower her blessings upon
the nuptials about to be celebrated. Many
and brilliant lights were flashing from
the windows of Mrs. Mason's cottage.
And now guest after guest fitted down
the narrow staircase and entered the par
ior, which, with the bedroom adjoining,
was soon filed. Ere long Mr.. Seldom
who seemed to be master of ceremonies,
appeared Immediately the crowd fell
back, leaving a vacant space in front of
the mirror The busy hum of voices died
away. and only a few suppressed whis-
pers of, re!-Look !-See!-Oh, myV'

places
Among the first to congratulate Mrs.
Moreland' was Sally Furbush, followed
nv Mrs. Perkins, who whispered TO
George that "she kinder had notion
how 'twould end when she first saw him
In the school house; but I'm glad you've

be easier livin' in the city than keepin'

made herself very useful in waiting upon
the table and asking some of the Boston
ladies "if they'd be helped to anything IN

CHAPTER XxII.-tContinned)


While the family were making arrange
ments to move from Glenwood to Chico
pee, Henry for the first time in his life
began to see how little use he was to
himself or any one else. Nothing was ex-
pected of him, consequently nothing was
asked of him, he began to wonder how he
himself was henceforth to exist. His
father would be III California, and he had
too much pride to lounge around the old
homestead, which had come to them
through George Moreland's generosity.
Suddenly it occurred to him that he,
too, would go with his father-he would
help him repair their fortunes-he would
be a man, and when he returned home,
hope painted a joyful meeting with his
mother and Jenny, who should be proud
to acknowledge him as a son and broth
er. Mr.. Lincoln warmly seconded his
resolution, which possibly would have
never been carried out had not Henry
heard of Miss Herndon's engagement
with rich old bachelor whom he had
often heard her ridicule. Cursing the
fickleness of the fair lady, and half-wish-
ing that he had not broken with Ella,
whose fortune, though not what he had
expected, was considerable, he bade adieu
to his native sky, and two weeks after
the family removed to Chicopee he sail
ed with his father for the land of gold.
But alas! The tempter was there be-
fore him, and in an unguarded moment
he fell The newly made grave, the mar
row coffin, the pale, dead sister and the
solemn vow were all forgotten and a de-
bauch of three weeks was followed by
violent fever, which in a few days cut
short his mortal career. He died alone,
with none but his father to witness his
wild rawlings, in which he talked of his
distant home, of Jenny and Rose, Mary
Howard and Ella, the last of whom he
seemed now to love with madness
amounting almost to frenzy. Tearing out
handfuls of his rich brown hair, he thrust
It into his fathers hand, bidding him to
carry it to Ella and tell her that the heart
she had so earnestly coveted was hers in
death. And the father, far more wretch
ed now than when his first-born daugh-
ter died, promised everything, and when
his only son was dead, he laid him down
to sleep beneath the blue sky of Califor-
MIA, where not one of the many bitter
tears shed for him in his far-oH home
could fall upon his lonely grave.

"sHE BURNS GREEN"
The Discovery of BOrax In Death
Valley by Aaron Winters.


The greatest discovery of borax In
the United States was made In the ter
ribly hot region known as Death val
ley and In most romantic way. The
Chicago Record tells the story.
In 1880 Aaron Winters lived with his
wife, Rosie, in a gulch known as Ash
Meadows, not far from the mouth of
Death valley. He was so fond of
bis wife that he would not allow her to
be long absent from him, although
their little hut on the side of the noun
tain was n hundred miles from the
nearest neighbor, in a wild, rugged
forsaken country.
One day desert tramp came along
and spent the night at the Winters
home. He told the hunter about the
borax deposits of Nevada. When he
went away, Winters thought that he
had seen deposits of the same kind on
his explorations into Death valley.
Accordingly he and his wife went to-
gether to make the search, having pre-
yiously provided themselves with GER
tain test chemicals. which when COM
bined with borax and ignited would
produce green fame.
Having procured piece of the sub
stance which he believed to be borax,
Winters and his wife waited for night
fall to make the test. How would it
burn?
For years they had lived like Piutes
on the desert, entirely without luxuries
and often wanting for the very necessi-
ties of life. Would the match change
all that?
Winters held the blaze to the SUBJ
stance with a trembling hand, then
shouted at the top of his voice: "She
burns green, Rosie! We're rich! We're
richp'
They had found borax. The mine
was sold for $4,000, and Winters took
his Rosie to a ranch In Nevada.

Any one of them seems to be able to
influence me, and they have made me
do some of the most absurd things
you ever heard of. You ought to try
1t some time and find out what power
there may be in you; it's lots of fun"
"But / don't knt w how to try it,"
he returned regretfully.
"0h, can show you that" she said.
"You take something bright-.a piece
of silver or anything like that-and
hold it directly in front of the sub
ject's eyes. Then you tell him to con-
centrate his gaze and thought on that
bright object, while you concentrate
your thoughts on subjugating his will
to yours. I'm sure a man of your force
of character and intensity of purpose
would soon be in complete control of
the subject. You might try it with me
and see II you understand. OF course,
1t will only be make-believe trial, be-
cause-because we're all alone, you
know, and 1t will do no harm to see
If you know how to go about it."
OF course he was quite ready to
make the experiment. The fact that
he had to hold silver dime before her
eyes gave him an excuse for getting
reasonably close to her. and he had de-
voted several months to the task of
finding an excuse to draw his chair
right up to hers. AS a matter of fact he
was much nearer to being hypnotized
at that moment than was she, but he
didn't know that. He produced the
necessary dime, and with mixture Of
eagerness and hesitation put himself
where he could hold 1t before her
eyes. The thrill of pleasure he expe-
rienced in finding what had hereto
fore been insurmountable difficulties
thus easily overcome prevented him
from concentrating his thoughts 20
any appreciable extent but neverthe
less he soon noticed that her eyes
seemed to have become abnormally
large and that there was a vacant
stare in them that seemed to indicate
an unusual state of mind.

der his breath. ~ wonder II have
