 "It pleased the lady to omit names," he replied. "She was telling me the story of a friend. It appeared that the guardian had a son who had been much away from home, abroad during the last few years. He was returning,

 '"The simplest thing in the world" he replied Let me review tf matter. met the young lady whom we have known as Miss Lamoine in New York 8 few days before your arrival. The effect upon me have described to you It is the rankest folly to say that she saw anything in me worth loving, and yet I can't help believing it. Heaven forgive me. Then you came, and what ever impression had made was utter ly effaced."
 "Oh, see here, Derringerr" said I, "she never cared a penny for me. Don't disturb your mind with wild hallucinations."
 My friend. have her own word for it."
 He spoke with convincing earnest ness, and I was staggered. My mind was still confused by his previous per picking statements, and this upon the top of them was too much for me. "Let me try to get this straight v said I. Do I understand that you asked her to marry you and she said something which led you to believe that stood in your way?'
 .'T did not commit that absurdity," he replied ;.She read my heart. She. knew

turn the scale of mans destiny, but hearts are queer things. If Miss La moine is sibyl Wayne, I'm going back to South Africa"
 'This is no subject for 8 jest" said he
 "Jest," groaned. T am worse than serious. Derringer, I'm speaking to you from the innermost depths of my soul. Go in and win. Don't think that my fathers wishes will defeat you He will be the first to take your hand. AS for me, change has come over my heart. I say that Jimmy caused it be- cause I can think of no better explana- tion. But this is certain whatever has happened to me- it has taken me out of your way"
 But I thought
 "That was singing with her by the lake, that had fallen wholly under the spell of that glorious voice, that we might have spoken to each other across a little expanse of water. I would have said myself that it must be but a ques- tion of few days when should be beyond rescue"
 II read it in your face,'' said he, '.in every word you uttered. I have seen you look toward her as she walked down through the orchard of an after noon."
 '"she is splendid girl, Derringer," said I, worthy of~all your love, all my admiration, all my fathers praise. Of course 1t is plain enough now that she ran away from New York because she loved you and considered me in the light of duty. There can be but one result of such situation. I shall be mighty glad to have you in the fam ily."
 His face was flushed with excite ment.
 But what did she mean by telling me that she had loved you long ago?" he demanded.
 'It was the easy way to say you nay, my boy,,'' I replied. T lied to her in precisely the same way. Don't ask me to explain. I did it, idiot that am. And now let's consider the facts of this situation Why did Lucy Ann tell me that Miss Lamoine was coming here?"
 ''She is probably coming out of her seclusion," said Derringer. Shall l stay to meet her? Terry, was never a coward before swear to you that it isn't in my nature to be afraid. But if I lose her again.
 't.Answer me this," said I, Why did she wear the pond lilies?"
 "Trask's? I don't know"
 'Numskull! She thought they were yours. She had seen you and Trask go out with Jimmy, and>she drew natu- ral inference"
 He seemed greatly encouraged and presently went away in very good spir- its. But when he had gone thought of the rose that had fallen from the rock and of the voice that had found it's way to my soul These had been sweet, sweeter than I had known, but some how the spirit had fled from them. thought of them long while, gnawing my lips and wondering what mans heart could be like that he should love a woman, and then so very soon should desperately wish to love her for the sake of voice and rose, yet be una ble to do it.

BLANK BALLOT MYSTERY.
How the Thousands of Them Lost at
New York Elections Are
Accounted For.

At the recent election 2,100 citizens OF
New York county and 1920 voters in
the other counties of the Greater New
York cast blank ballots. There are
usually about 5000 blank ballots cast,
reports the Sun of that city.
Itmay seem peculiar that several thou
sand citizens each year should take the
trouble to appear at the places of regis
try to answer the questions necessary
for the enrolment of their names, to at
tend the polling place on election day
and all for the apparent purpose of cast
ing a blank vote, counting for neither
party nor for any candidate, when pre-
cisely the same result could be attained
by remaining away from the polls for
registration of voting.
A blank ballot, as defined by the cleo
ton code, is n which contains no mark
of indication whatever of the purpose
or intention of the voter. 1t is a ballot
which is returned to the election in
spectors in precisely the same condition
as it was given to the voter.
Why do 1000 or 5000 persons each
year in New York go through the I'M
necessary Formally of voting blank bal
lots? 1t is one of the questions which
no n has been able to answer, though
there are some explanations of it which
are at least reasonable.
There are some illiterate men who are
timid about revealing their illiteracy,
and they avoid the risk Of doing so by
voting blank. Then there are citizens
unconcerned in the outcome of an cleo
ton who are induced to register and to
vote. They do vote, but their indiffer-
ence to the result is revealed in a blank
ballot.
There are, again, those who become
ratified in the polling place and find es-
cape from their p~erplexity by returning
the ballot given them folded but I'M
marked to the inspectors.
Three thousand blank votes in a total
of soc, 900 is half of one per cent of the
whole vote cast.

HOME FOR THE BUFFALO.
Game Preserve In Oklahoma
liz Made.

Before it is too late it would be well
for the people of Oklahoma to interest
themselves in the scheme to establish a
big game reserve in the Wichita noun
tains, says the Kansas City Journal.
There is a great forest reserve in the
hills of southwestern Oklahoma set aside
by congress many years ago. 1t contains
$4,000 acres of land eXcellently adapted
for the big and little game which former
ly was so plentiful in America. There
are broad pastures in this reserve and
thickets of scrub oak, heavy timber,
clear and eve living streams of water
and rocky Businesses. Vegetation is
abundant; the climate is salubrious. APP
parently nature has done its best to make
these $4,000 acres a c%ongenial haunt for
game animals and a grand, attractive
park for sportsmen and the seekers after
rest and recreation.
Many of the beasts and birds which
abounded in plain and wood in this coun.
try a short time ago are doomed to an
early extinction unless the state and
federal governments take the proper
steps to assure protection. Except for
the few head still remaining in public
or private reservations, the buffalo has
been practically wiped out of existence.
For some unaccountable reason civil
ization took a prejudice to this noble
animal. Its value was never given a
fair test until within recent years. 1t
has now been found that the buffalo pro-
pagates quickly, grows rapidly, is hardy
and self-sustaining upon the plains, its
hide makes fine leather, and it's flesh is
equal in flavor and strength given quail
tiles to that of ordinary beef. In fact,
the buffalo is the native cattle of this
country, just as the Herefords. the Gal
loways and the Holsteins are the native
cattle Of Europe.
The buffalo is a docile creature, easily
domesticated, and very probably had we
not been SO attached by custom to Eu-
ropean things we should have developed
it into the regular beef producer of this
country. Wherever it has been inter-
bred with domestic cattle, an improved
product has resulted, more able to re-
sist disease and Withstand the inclem-
encies Of American weather.
The chief purpose of the men who are
striving to have the Wichita forest re-
serve turned into a game preserve is to
secure a place where the remnants of the
buffalo herds car be collected and saved
from determination. 1t is to be hoped
that they will obtain favorable action
from congress in aid of this laudable
undertaking..

once. We struck him in the feshy part
of the fore legs. The animal came down
with Il thud in about eighteen inches of
snow which was around the foot of the
tree. Then he started on a run, and we
thought we had lost him.
However, we took up the trail in a
hurry.
las soon as I got up with the dogs I
found a snarling mass, with the dogs
on top, and saw the cougar swapping at
Old Cap and Old Cap doing his best to
retaliate. Screamer, a fox hound, was
standing by, with bleeding shoulder,
and Old Cap had a cash across his
throat that exposed his windpipe and a
wound in the shoulder.
When | got sight of the animal it

fired as nearly as I could make it in the
