'How many will answer?' asked
doubtfully.
Il know of three" he said quietly.
'Three! There are 200 miners an(

looked at him in amazement "Yor

"Well," replied Craig, smiling for the
first time, "the organization won't be
elaborate. but it will be effective, and
besides, loyalty demands obedience"
We sat long that afternoon talking
shrinking from the breaking up, for we
knew that we were about to turn doWI
chapter in our lives which we should
delight to linger over in after days, and
in my life there is but one brighter. Al
last we said goodby and drove away
and, though many farewells have come
in between that day and this, none is
so wildly present to me as that be,
tween us three men. Craig's manner
with me was solemn enough.
He that loveth his life'-goodby.
Don't fool with this" was what he
said to me, but when he turned to
Graeme his whole face lighted up. He
took him by the shoulders and gave
him a little shake, looking into his
eyes and saying over and over in low,
sweet tone:
you'll come, old chap, you'll come,
you'll come. Tell me you'll come"
And Graeme could say nothing in re-
ply, but only looked at him. Then
they silently shook hands, and we
drove off, but long after we had got
over the mountain and into the wind
ing forest road on the way to the lum-
Der camp the voice kept vibrating in
my heart, You'll come, you'll come"
and there was a hot pain in my throat.
We said little during the drive to the
camp. Graeme was thinking hard and
made no answer when | spoke to him
two or three times till we came to the
deep shadows of the pine forest, when,
with little SILVER, he said:
''It is all a tangle, hopeless tan

RHODES FINE SYMPATHY.

Interesting Glimpse of the British
Empire Builders Character.
A glimpse Of the late Cecil Rhodes IL
had in a letter written from Kimberley
soon after the British occupation Of the
city.
Ever dreamer, his mind filed with
visions of empire, Rhodes one day in
Kimberley was picturing the grandeur
Of British South Africa when the rich
lands should be developed under the
British flag and the great colony
should be tied to England by lines Of
fast express steamers and by a railroad
to Cairo.
Just then a litter was borne by.
Rhodes face was illumined by enthusi-
asm. He had just said, "The cost Of
the struggle is as nothing to the fruits
that are to be reaped."
The litter bearers paused to change
their hold. The fair face of an Eng
lish soldier lad was turned toward
Rhodes, and the wounded boys pain
drawn lips moved.
Sympathy changed the expression Of
Rhodes face as he stepped down to
the dying soldier.
81 am not afraid to die" gasped the
boy bravely, "but there is no one 10

81 will provide for her." said Rhodes

"Out Doors"

The grass is green and the nesting song
OF birds that build in the tree is heard;
The wind bears the scent of the soil along
From fields which the plow has lately
stirred.
Soft sunbeams slant Ger the shelving
banks
With kiss Of love for the stream below,
And, marshaled near, in their crowding
ranks,
The swaying stems Of the cattails grow.
One cloud climbs the sky. IT'S a good
ship bound
For the distant ports of another world.
A breeze brings breath Of the dreamy
sound
OF water that back from her Prov is
curled.
A hawk sails high in the hazy blue,
Which seems to open above the pond
To let the light of the glory through
From a land which lies but step be-
yond.
Such days will dawn in the dim to be,
And shall remember or half recall
How my slumberous soul was stirred In
me
Today by the beauty that lowered all
How came to feel that the world knew
Was only the place where paused for
breath,
For completer things that the soul should
do ''.

SantOs-DumOnt'S Airshipo
King Edward is now taking a great

coronation week.
When the king heard that M. Santos
Dumont hoped to witness the corona

ship and that many continental papers
had rumored that his majesty himself
might be tempted to make an ascent if
it were possible with Santos-Dumont.

A gentleman jumped from cab,

he was dressed in a new suit of Scotch
