herself out another cup OF tea ana sat
stirring it thoughtfully; the man put
his down untasted on the table. as
If tea drinking was an occupation too
unromantic for the occasion. With n
sudden impulse he got up, and, cross.
ing to her side, leaned kindly over
her.
"And so you don't want to marry
me, Joan?" he said, almost reproach-
fully.
The girl started, colored deeply, and
drew back from him.
No! Not" she said. "Even IL you
loved me ever Sc much, 1 would not
marry you. 1t would be terrible-ter-
rible to think that you would grow
gradually Indifferent to me, and to
know that having taken the step there
was no drawing back; and yet" she
paused painfully" l am miserable. /
love you so. l want you near me al
ways-I want you always"
She broke down with something like
sob and buried her face in her hands.
The man looked at her helplessIy for
a moment, and then. kneeling at her
side, drew her hands gently down.
JOAN" he said, ''you dear, romantic
little soul, look at me-"
Joan obeyed with swimming ewes.
Now put these sentimental ideas on
one side. You and 1, Joan, are going to
be practical couple. We are not 60
ing to expect such great deal of the
other side of the river you spoke of,
and then we shall not be disappointed.
Joan, you must marry me-"
The girl drew herself away from his
arms and shook her head vehementlv.
Don't ask me, pray-pray don't ask
mel" she cried. 'You don't love me.
you know you don't; and even If you
cared for me as earnestly as 1 care for
you, it would only be worse still. I
should only have the more to lose.
No." she turned and faced him eager
ly, you must cure me-disillusion me.
Let me see that it is only an infatua-
tion-that you are only an ordinary
man, after ALL"
Il could easily do that" said the
young man, soberly; "but I doubt
whether you would listen. Love, little
girl, always idealizes. You look at me
through rosy-colored spectacles and
magnify my virtues and overlook my
faults. Whatever do now, and what
ever I have done in the past, would
be excused in your eyes"
mol moi" said the girl. Indeed, I
will listen. Dear Hugh, want to be
disillusioned"
But the young man only shook his
head
Even il you listened you would not
believe" he said, gently. "Now, listen,
Joan. 1 am going to suggest a rem
edy, seldom-failing remedy, and that
is time. / am going away from you for
six months. At the end of that time,
dear, you will laugh at yourself, at
your folly, or my name is not Hugh
Dornay. Shall we do as 1 say?'
For six long months," echoed the
girl, with paling face. Its terrible
remedy; but, yes, 1 will try it,"

ROCK ISLAND SAID TO s
BE AFTER FRISCO SYSTEM

There is no longer any doubt that
the Rock Island management has de-
termined to build from the Red river
to Galveston. and by the way of DIAL
las. In Austin, Texas. yesterday there
was filed incorporation papers for the
Chicago, Rock Island & Gulf road with
a capital stock of $15,OO0.OO0.
In connection with the building of
the new road ii has been limited that
the Moores are after the Frisco sys-
TEN. The latter would give them n
direct line from Dallas TO st. Louis,
where connection would be made
with the line projected from st. Louis
to Chicago.
Rumor has it also that at the an
nual meeting of the Northwestern. TO
be held June >. the Moores will have
three members of the Northwestern
board. 1t is said they will be Presi-
dent Leeds, of the Rock Island. one of
the Moore brothers and ID. G.. Reid.
There is no doubt that the Moores
propose making the Rock Island the
most powerful western system.

WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE
FAVORABLE TO THE CROPS

The weekly crop bulletin for Hi
nois follows:
AS a rule the weather conditions
during the past week have been fav-
Orable for the growth of crops. The
weather was warm early in the week.
but later il became quite cool, es-
pecially in the northern district,
where tempera in the thirties
occurred. No frosts have been re-
ported. however. and the only damage
has been n slight retardation of
growth. Showers occurred over
most of the state during the week.
mainly on Tuesday and Saturday.
These have generally been sufficient
To keep the ground well moiStened,
and in some localities have been Suf-
ficient to delay farm work. General
ly, however. conditions have been fav-
orable for carrying on farming OPP
erations. and full advantage has
been taken of them. In few To-
calities the weather has been dry and
crops are suffering for rain. but gen
orally throughout the state crops are
in very good condition. The condi-
tion of wheat has generally contin-
ued to improve during the week, and
il is now good over most of the
state. In some localities the crop is
very fine. but in a few others, notably
in the northeastern part of the south
ern district. it has deteriorated on
account of dry weather. \ few cor
respondents state that the chinch
bugs are becoming numerous, but no
serious damage has resulted as vet
1, I. L
the southern district. Rye has con-
tinued to do well during the week
and is now heading over most of the
state. Oats have continued to inn
prove and at the end of the week
their average condition is good. The
prospects seem less favorable in the
southern than in the central and
northern districts. Corn planting has
progressed rapidly, except where in
terrupted by rain. In some locali-
ties, especially in the southern dis
trict. almost the entire crop has
been planted. Much corn is already
up and looking well. but the cool
weather of the latter part of the
week has retarded termination and
growth somewhat. Many correspon-
aging corn greatly and that some
fields have been replanted on this ac-
count. Meadows and pastures have
generally improved during the week.
but pastures seemingly more than
meadows, and, though growth has
been SLOW in some localities. the av-
erage condition of both is now very
good. Many correspondents state
that the hay crop will be very large.
As rule both gardens and potatoes
are growing finely. In many locali-
ties potatoes are now being cult
waited. There is considerable com
plant of damage to gardens by cut
worms. The prospect for peaches
seems less favorable than last week.
This is also true of apples. though the
prospect for the latter is still fair o
good. The prospect for blackberries
and raspberries is not very favor
able, but it is good for other fruits"

SEARCH FOR
ALEX CoOPER's RELATIVES

The police have not been able to
learn of anyone from this city who
can reasonably be supposed TO he the
Alex Cooper killed at Darlington in a
railway accident.
There was an Alex Cooper who
worked at ID. ID. Pottiger's restaurant
and left for the west several months
ago. He is said TO have been about
the age of the party killed at Barring
ton. - years. There is also said to
have been an Alex Cooper at Coal Val
ley. who had been away some time.
A second telephone message was
received by Chief Darnell today ask
ing if anything had been learned of
friends or relatives of the dead man.
No additional particulars were given,
but it is stated positively that deceas-
ed had been in Rock Island recently.
The remains will be held till Satur-
lay pending Identification.
