Neville looked steadily at her as she
spoke with such glad confidence. and
James face grew rosy under his gaze,
while Nevilles smile widened slowly,
until his whole countenance shone
with pleasure.

ashamed of his apparent Incidence and
would scarce delay long enough to eat
hasty breakfast Then his horse
was waiting, and he stood at the
threshold.
AS he mounted Mrs Swaffham
asked him il he went by York and he
answered, Yes. ! know perfectly that
road, and | must not miss my way,

THAT is right" she said. The way
that is best to go is the way that best

He did not hear the advice. for the
moment his horse felt the foot in the

they turned into the house with a

So Jane went to her room and began
to fold away the pretty things she had

did SO, her heart sat SO lightly on its
temporal perch that she was singing

| out any apparent change in the ma
tional situation.
In de Wick the situation was pitt.
ably forlorn and desolate. Matilda
would gladly have escaped it's depress-
ing atmosphere for a little while every
day, but she could not. for the roads
leading from II were almost quagmires
unless steadied by frost, and II was
only rarely on such occasions that the
horses could be spared to take her as
far as Swaffham. Even the atmos-
phere of Swaffham, though grateful
and cheering, was exasperating to the
poor royalist lady. There was such
cheerfulness in its comfortable rooms,
such plenty of all the necessaries OF
life, such busy service of men and
maids. such active, kindly hospitality
to herself. and such pleasant com
panionship between Jane and her
mother, that Matilda could not help a
little envious contrasting.
One day, near Christmas, the roads

Matilda resolved to walk over to
Swaffham. AS she left her father she
kissed him affectionately, and then
courtseyed to the Chaplain, who did
not notice her attention, being hap

ness into her heart. AS she went
through the garden she saw monthly
rose in bloom. and she plucked 1t; and
with the fair sweet flower in her hand
entered the Swaffham parlor. Jane
was sitting at the table serving Lord
Cluny Neville. no was eating and
drinking and leaning towards her with
a face full Of light and pleasure. Mrs.
Swaffham sat on the hearth.
Matilda saw the whole picture in a
glance. and she set her mood to match
1t. Dropping her gown, she let the
open door frame her beauty for mo.
ment. She was conscious that she
was lovely, and she saw the swift lift.
ing of Neyille's eyelids. and the look
of surprised delight which came into
his eyes. She was resolved to be
charming, and she succeeded. She let
Jane help her to remove her hat and
tippet. She let Mrs. Swaffham make
much of her.
Then she sat down by Neville, and
he cut her a slice of the pasty. and
Jane filled her wine-glass. and Neville
touched his own against II and wished
her health and happiness. Then they
sang some madrigals. and as the
shades of evening gathered, Neville
began to tell them wild, weird stories
OF the Border-Land, and they sat in
the twilight pleasantly afraid OF the
phantoms they had themselves con-
jured up, drawing close together and
speaking with little awe. and finding
even the short silences that fell upon
them very eloquent and satisfying.
There was then no question of Ma
tilda returning that night to de Wick.
and very soon Mrs. Swaffham joined
them. and the servants began to build
up the fire and spread the table for
the evening meal.

At the same moment He was, as Dr.
Verify said, man destined to capti
vate, not only by his noble bearing
and handsome face. but also by such
an indescribable charm of manner as
opened the door of every heart to him
Bowling to both girls, he presented
Jane with a letter from her friend
Mary Cromwell, and also with small
parcel which contained some beautiful
ribbons. The pretty gift made pleas
ant introduction to conversation full
OF gay inquiries and interesting items
of social information. Matilda watched
the young soldier with eyes full OF
interest, and did not refuse his escort
to her carriage; but. as she departed.
she gave Jane one look which left her
with an unhappy question in her heart,
not only for that night, but to be re
called long after as premonitory and
prophetic.
During the preparations for the even
ing meal. and while Neville was in his
chamber removing his armor and re-
freshing his clothing. Jane also found
time to put on a pretty evening gown.
Something had happened to Jane; she
was in a delicious anticipation, and
she could not keep the handsome
stranger out of her consideration.
When she heard Neville's steady, swift
step coming towards her she trembled.
Why? She did not ask herself. and
her soul did not tell her. II indeed
warned her, either of joy or OF sorrow.
for surely its tremor intimated that
the newcome was to be no mere yisi-
tor of passage, no neutral guest; that
perhaps, indeed, he might have en-
tered her home as a fate. or at least
as a messenger of destiny. For who
can tell, when stranger walks into
any life, what his message may beY
II was a wonderful evening to both
Jane and Mrs. Swaffham. Neville told
over again the story of Dunbar, and
told 1t in picturesque way that would
have been impossible to DR.. Verify.
1t was a magnificent drama, though
there was only one actor to present
It.
Jane did not speak; she glanced at
the young man, wondering at his rapt
face, its solemn pallor and mystic ex-
altation, and feeling his voice vlbrate
through all her senses, though at

Jane forgot her intention Of captiyat.
Ing, and yet none the less she accom-
plished her purpose. For when they
parted for the night he held her hand
with a gentle pressure, and quick
glancing, sweetly smiling, he flashed
into her eyes admiration and interest
not to be misunderstood.
And James heart was crystal rock,
only waiting the touch OF wand. Had
she felt the mystic contact? Her
fine eyes were dropped, but there was
q faint, bewitching smile around her
lovely mouth, and there was some
thing bewildering and something be-
wildered in her very silence and sim
piicity.

WHERE MONEY IS UNKNOWN.

Primitive Conditions in Settlement In
Southeastern Utah.
There have arrived in this city two
young men who have made the trip
across the continent from the Missis'
sippi river in a canvas.covered wagon
drawn by a pair Of mules. writes a
Los Angeles correspondent OF the
Pittsburg Gazette. Their experiences
have been varied and interesting
often hazardous. but never more
unique than when passing through
southeastern Utah.
In that section Of the state have set
tied a few score Of families. regardless
of the fact that the nearest railroad Is
$50 miles away, and that there is alb
solutely no market for the product OF
their ranches.
They raise what they want to eat
their ranches support their eyer-in-
creasing herds. and they expect to
realize fortunes from their cattle and
lands when a railroad penetrates the
fastness and traverses that section.
Meantime money is almost an un.
known medium of exchange. Cattle
and grain are the units OF value.
The young men say that in one set
Element where they stopped there was
not a dollar in money, all told, in the
town. At one of their camping places
they visited a nearby ranch to buy
one OF the numerous chickens that
were running about the place.

the woman of the house.

LITTLE SEEDS OF KINDNESS.
How Representative Curtis Came Near

Secretary Wilson is receiving nu-
merous requests from all parts of the
country for seeds. and is replying to
all Of them that congress at this ses-
sion has made no provision for seed
distribution, and there are no seeds
left on hand at the department of ag-
riculture. Representative Charles
Curtis of Kansas, who was one of the
contestants in the recent fight for sen.
atorial honors, told story to-day
about the farmers in connection with
this matter. One of his newly elect
ed compeers came to him in great in
dignation. The compeer was rapidly
reaching the conclusion that a career

Bath, N. Y, April 13th.--The first
consideration of the Commandant and
Officers in the conduct of the Soldiers
and Sailors Home here Is the health
Of the Veterans. Kidney Troubles are
the most common cause OF ailment.
very few of the old men escaping these
in some form or other.
OF course the comrades do as much
as possible for themselves. and one or
the most popular and useful remedies
employed is Dodd's Kidney Pills,
which seem to be almost infallible in
cases OF Kidney arrangements. Indeed
there are among the veterans several
who claim TO owe their lives to Dodd's
Kidney Pills.
For instance. A. e. Ayers, who came
to the home from Minneapolis, Mimi,
was given up by four doctors in that
city. He had Bright's Disease. and
never expected to live through it, but
his life was saved and his health re-
stored by Dodd's Kidney Pills.
His experience has made the remedy
very popular among the men, and no
one who has used Dodd's Kidney Pills
for any Kidney Trouble has been dis
appointed.
