ALL PAID TRIBUTE.

The citizens Of Nebraska paid tri.
butte to Mr.. Morton by coming to
join with those who were In sorrow.
Probably no larger gathering OF
me Of note In the state was ever
held and where all were bound by a
firmer common bond In mourning
the loss OF one OF their number. The
prominent men OF all callings, indus
trial and professional and above all
the common people came to pay their
tribute at the bier OF the man who
was gone. No word that could be
spoken was more significant than the
respect with which the name of the
deceased was mentioned and the
many kind memories recalled con-
corning his life. The people of Ne
braska City where Mr.. Morton has
lived since 1854 when the town site
was first laid out, have good cause
to remember him for his public acts.
There was general mourning In every
quarter at his death.
The prominence OF Mr.. Morton In
national and state affairs has brought
him during his life into contact with
many of his leaders in politics and
thought. His fame as the founder

mas gladness came floating in at the
window of room high up in a poor
old tenement house, where two WON
en- sat by bed whereon sick child
lay, tossing about restlessly, and
moaning in the delirium of fever
that was burning it's little life away.
One of these women was the child's
mother. The other was Margaret
Leith.
Poor little thingi" the mother
moaned, as she bent above the bed,
and her tears fell fast on the thin,
white face already bright with the
radiance shining out through the
open gates of the Other World. I'm
afraid he isn't going to live the night
out. II wish you'd stay with me,
ma'am. It's too much to ask of
you, know, butt never had any
thing to do with death, before, and
ii seems as if I could bear it bet
ter if you were here. You've been
so kind to me, ma'am, that you see
1 take liberties that l ought not to;
but you'll pardon me for it, I'm sure,
for it's because of the trouble.
Sometimes I think I'd go crazy if it
wasn't for your kind face and your
comforting words, ma'am."
81 will stay" answered Margaret.
"But 1 must send word to my aunt,
Woodville Republican., 1902-12-20

thusiasm had taken possession of
her. She felt that she was not only
helping those with whom she came
in contact, but she was helping him.
If she could not work by his side,
she could at least do something to
help him and his work in a way he
might know nothing about, but the
doing of it might make his own work
lighter in some indirect way.
At first, perhaps, she did it for his
sake, or because it was his work, and
sharing it with him, even without his
knowledge, seemed to establish a
common bond of interest between
them. But it was not long, as l have
said, before she began to love the
work for it's own sake. When a man
CT a woman does something to help
his or her fellowmen, life is broad
ened by it, and the world suddenly
seems fuller of deeper, grander
meanings and possibilities. A kim
ship of interests brings us close to
the heart of things. We wake up to
the fact that to live means something
more than mere existence. There are
others in the world quite as impor-
tant as ourselves. They have sor-
rows and joys we can share with
them. We can help them, and they
can help us.
In her round of work she did not
meet John Fosdyke, but she heard
good deal about him.
And what she heard was something
10 make her glad and proud. He was
indeed sowing good seed. She won
dered if he knew as well as she did
the amount of good he was doing.
And he heard of her, but he did
not know who it was that cana to
the homes of the poor and the sick
with comforting words, and help in
time of need; for her work was done
as quietly and unobtrusively as his
own.

complishment of her plans. One day
she met John Fosdyke at a friends.
81 have not seen much of Miss
Leith, of late" he said. "She is well,
l hope?"
"oh, yes, quite WELL" answered
Aunt Diana. "She is $3.50 queer
you know"-this quite confidential
ly. "She has seemed to lose all rel
ish for society, in the ordinary mean
ing of the word, since Mr.. Herrick
has taken to calling so regularly.
Sometimes a girl finds the society of
one person pleasanter than that of
many, you know" and here she
smiled meaningly. "Of course, you
have heard of what rumor has been
saying about Mr.. Herrick and my
niece?"
81 have heard that Mr.. HerricA ad-
mired her, if that is what you mean,"
Fosdyke answered, in somewhat
constrained tone. To talk about the
woman he loved in this manner was
painful to him in the extreme. But
he wanted to know the truth, so he
added:
"If congratulations are in order,
please tender mine to Miss Leith.
Am premature in offering them?"
II must not reveal state secrets" +"
answered Aunt Diana, looking very
wise. However, I will tell her what
you have said, and let me thank you,
for her, for your kind wishes. You

willed that he should look that way.
Her mind-her soul-call it what you
will, sent a message along the un-
seen line which some persons tell
us runs between human souls, and
John Fosdyke's soul felt the subtle
and mysterious influence, for he
paused, looked across the street and
up to her window, and bowed, with
glad light in his face.
"Who is that Fosdyl1e bowing to?"
asked her Aunt Diana, from her po-
sition by another window. "He may
have meant the bow for me. If he
did, don't thank him for his trouble.
don't like him. don't care to culti-
vate his acquaintance. He isn't my
style, and he can keep his bows for
those who appreciate them"
HE was not bowing to you," an
swered Margaret quietly, though a
brighter bit of color came into her
cheek as she said it. "He knows very
well that you do not like him, and
he is not the man to give attentions
of any sort where they are unwel-
come"
From which | am to infer, I sup
pose" said Aunt Diana, sharply, that
he bows to you because he thinks his
attentions are not unwelcome. Is
that it?"
you are quite right in your con-
clusion," answered Margaret. "I
do like him, and l think he knows it.
have never taken any trouble to
conceal my friendship from him. Why
should ~"
81 must say that you are the
strangest girl I ever saw" said her
aunt, with ill-concealed displeasure.
"Xou are all dignity and distance
to those in your own set, but you
unbend to this Fosdyke as if you
felt him your equal, if not your su-
perior." And now there was strong
suspicion of a sneer in Aunt Diana's
voice. She was intolerant of any
likes or dislikes but her own. John
Fosdylle was one of her especial dis
likes, because she felt afraid that
his influence over her niece was, or
might become, stronger than her
own. That influence might possibly
interfere, in time to come, with the
carrying out of pet plan.
81 do consider him my SUPERIOR"
answered Margaret. "Of all men I
ever knew, consider him the truest.
the bravest, the manifest. Count
up all the men in what you are
pleased to call our set, and find
one among them, If you can, who
would do what John Fosdyke has
done"
"That's precisely what makes me
consider him a fool" said Aunt Di-
ana. "a man who will deliberately
give up the position he might have
had, and the chance to become fa-
nous and wealthy and leader OF
men, for the sake of preaching to a
set of heathens, is fool and moth.
ing more"
"a fool when looked at from your
standpoint, you forgot to say" said
Margaret. "You forget that all OF
us do not look at these things
through your spectacles. Instead Of

she did, not so very long ago, sure
ly she would have some sympathetic
word for him now.
Presently Aunt Diana came back,
and soon he went away with grave
face, and disappointed look in his
eyes.
Margaret saw the look and under
stood what it meant.
"He is blind, willfully blind" she
said to herself, as he went down the
street. She could hardly keep back
her tears. Surely he might see the
truth-if he would.
"Yes, he is blind" she repeated,
this time aloud-she had forgotten
that Aunt Diana was in the room.
did you speak to me2'' asked her
aunt.
"No, I was talking to myself" an
swered Margaret, feeling so miser-
able that she cared very little if Aunt
Diana knew what her thoughts were.
She got up and went out of the room,
with such a sorrowful look in her
face that the woman who was watch
ing her keenly knew the visit of
John Fosdyke had given her no pleas
ure. The willy matchmaker congratu-
lated herself accordingly. She felt
sure that the paths of these two
persons had diverged so widely that
they would never run together again.
By and by Vaughan Herrick came
in. But Margaret had gone out.
81 shall never win her." he said to
Aunt Diana, after he had asked for
her niece. 81 seem to know her less
and less each time 1 meet her"
"Have patience" counseled Aunt
Diana. "The world was not made in
q day, and such women as Margaret
are not to be won all at once"
COR never" said Herrick, discour-
ogedly.
Aunt Diana had never been more
thoroughly disguised and out of pa
thence with her niece than she was
when she found that she had taken
to visiting the poor.
She argued with her about the
foolishness of the 'whim," as she
called it. What good would come of
it? What would "our set" say when
this latest proof of Margaret's eccen-
tricity was brought to it's notice?
"As to that, care very little, or
not at ALL" answered Margaret. 1T
may do but little good, but it will
certainly do no harm, and to do
little good is much better than to
do none at ALL"
So she kept on with the work she
had undertaken. At first it was hard,
and almost repulsive, in many of its
features. But by and by she found
that there was real pleasure in try
ing to help others. And it was not
long until she began to get. more
pleasure out of her life, because of
what she was doing, than she had ever
found in the idle round of fashion
able existence. John Fosdyke's en-

heart claims you, but our hearts are
often so selfish that they prompt
us to lay claim to that to which we
have no right"
"The king may always claim his
own, they say" she answered, smil-
ing softly and half unconsciously
into his face, in the great, absorbing
happiness that was flooding her soul.
"My heart was yours long ago,
john" and then she put her hand in
his as if it held her heart, and she
was giving it into his keeping for all
time to come.
"Are you sure you will not regret
what you lose in casting your lot
with mine?"
81 think only of what 1 gain" size
answered. "There is no loss"
And then the bells rang out again,
jubilantly, tunefully, and they seemed
to say:
"Peace, Good Will! Peace, Coco
Will" till all the night was filed
with the sound, and the two hearts
that were henceforth to be one took

crowd that stirred her pulses 10 q
swifter beat. Her eyes lost the list
less look that had been in them while
she watched with woman's mere
idle curiosity the tide of humanity
surging past. Here was some one
for her interest to center itself
about. With this person upon whom
to fasten her thoughts, she forgot
the throng of which he was part.
81 wonder if there is any truth in
the theory of soul telegraphy?" she
thought, with a bright, soft light
gathering in her eyes, as she watched
the man about whom her thoughts
had centered themselves. "He said
he half believed it. 1 will put it to
the test"
She looked intently at the man who
had driven her idle mood away, and
Woodville Republican., 1902-12-20

being fool because of his devotion
to principle rather than policy,
have to admit that he seems to me
something of hero. Quite as much
hero, in fact, as the man who as
serts his bravery on the field of bat
tie. Don't you suppose that John
Fosdyke had hard battle to fight,
in giving up what he has for the
sake of doing what he believes to be
his duty?-
Margaret spoke impetuously, and
her tone told how deeply she felt
what she said.
Aunt Diana's lip curled.
Margaret" she said, facing her
niece Indignantly and accusingly, u
DO believe you are more than half
in love with this mani The idea of
your persisting in your attempt to
make hero of him! It's absurd, to
say the least!"
ut may seem so to you, but it does
not to me-" was the girls quiet re-
sponse. And not another word could
her aunt get from her about this
man whom the worldly-wise old lady
looked upon as fool or fanatic.
Presently Vaughan Herrick came in.
Aunt Diana welcomed him effusive-
ly. Margaret was quietly polite in
her greeting, and her reserved man
ner had the effect of keeping him at
distance socially. She did not like
Mr.. Herrick very well. She had never
done so, and after her aunt began
to try her hand at matchmaking be-
tween them, she liked him less than
ever, because it was quite evident
that he was perfectly willing to take
advantage of any victory that Aunt
Diana might happen to win by force
of diplomacy or influence.
'In love, and in war, a man should
control the campaign" Margaret told
herself. "He isn't much of a man
who is willing to let woman plan
and carry it on for him"
Miss Leith does not seem very
socially inclined this morning." he
said to Aunt Diana, when Margaret
was out of the room for a moment.
81 hope have not offended her"
1T isn't that" was Aunt Diana's
reply. She's peculiar Be blind to
her peculiarities-and be patient"
Il could be as patient as-who was
it? - Jacob? - that the minister
preached about last Sunday, if 1
thought l could win her at last" he
answered. Aunt Diana, vexed with
Margaret's peculiarities, resolved on
diplomacy. She was not going to
allow her niece, who was poor, to
throw herself away on John Fos-
dyke. She was not going to let
her lose the chance of getting
rich husband like Vaughan Herrick,
il she could have her way about it.
Vaughan Herrick could give her an
elegant home, and a position in So
oiety that any girl in her senses
would covet. He would also be kind
husband to her. The girl must be
mad to let such chance go by. One
like it might never present itself
again.
Aunt Diana, however, knowing with
whom she had to deal, felt that she
must move carefully. Margaret had
a way of having her own will at
times, and when there was a differ
ence of opinion she often came out
best in the argument; and if Aunt
tn 1,.Is
of the marriage she had so set her
heart on, she felt quite sure it would
make her niece all the more stub
born. Precipitancy might spoil all.
She must work carefully, and in an
indirect way, to bring about the ac-
