Iou are young, uear. L might nave
known that love would not fill your life
now. When you are as old as l am
you will know that it is all that really
matters, besides working and doing
ones duty. l will give my consent to
your going, for all l live for is to make
you happy"
Jessie joined the company and was
| acting small part in a pretty, uncul-
tiyated voice. She dressed with half
dozen other girls who smoked and
used slang, and in the guise of friendli-
ness made her up to distort the
beauty of her dark, brooding face She
learned the disciplinary value of the
| stage, and she learned the real hideous-
ness of selfishness. But she told Jack
none of this.
One season passed-two-she was
soon to begin her third. She was get
ting on, but slowly. One evening she
was moved by one of those impulses
that seem to come from without rather
than within, to run home and pay Jack
a visit. The rehearsals were over. There
was no reason why she should not go
| home for week. She would surprise
| him.
She drove out from town in the early
morning. The mist wells were rising
from the hill tops, melted by the burn
ing kisses of the sun. The evergreen
forests on the hillsides were so cool,
the great walls of earth so restful. She

would topple upon her now. Was it
that she was beginning to yearn for
what they typified-strength and fidel-
ity, the greatest and best things in life?
The little house had been done up,
she noticed as she drove up, and Jack
had coaxed the rose vines quite to the
roof by now.
The door was open. There was no fear
of tramps in that region, and she peered
right into the house. Some one was stir
ring within, but he was too absorbed
to note her soft footballs.
Her old blue skirt hung upon the
wall, and her husband, looking older
and sadder, but still with that vast
strength of patience in his face, stood
looking at it,
She wrote the rest to her one friend in
the company.
II walked over quietly and stood be-
side him. He was still so busy look
ing at that foolish skirt that he didE

he turned toward me, and when he saw
me the look that came into his eyes
made me cry.

The Blue Skirt

Ill moderately so.
- Jack Gale was ambitious, too,
but temporarily SO.
1t was because of the varying de-
gfees of their ambition that this story
came about.
Jessie could sing. Jack could not He
could only listen with a rare apprecia-
ton and adore this particular singer
beyond all bounds of her deserts. For
Jack was as gifted in the rare art of
loving truly as Jessie was in the art
of singing. Rather more, l should say.
All this had much to do with the blue
skirt, for it was these psychologist
conditions that brought about the Incl
dent of the blue skirt.
Jack had always extravagantly ad-
mlred the gown of which the blue skirt
was component part. He had told
her so often, but Jessie had answered
rather fretfully that 1t was "such d
simple little affair."" Pale blue cham
bray, made with a blouse effect and
trimmed with ruff1es edged with mar
row torchon. So woman would have
described it, but to sturdy, honest, low
ing Jack it was blue cloud f1ecked
with white, from which the black eyes
and curling black hair, the red lips and
creamy skin of his wife cleaned forth
brilliantly.
Jack never forgot the day she tossed
it aside.
"Pu never wear that old thing
again." she said. II do hate to wear
things when they've grown shabby"
There was a little tremor of sensi-
tiveness in Jacks face as the words
struck cruelty upon his ear, but he
made a manful effort to suppress it,
His income was small, but he was do
ing his best to increase it, and the in
come was sure to come If it was a bit
slow. He had told Jessie so often and
had explained that there was some dis
position to keep the young engineers
down.
THE older fellows naturally want to
keep the best positions" he said. 'Try
to be patient, Jessie. l am doing my
best, dear"
And Jessie was silent She had the
retrospective nature that matches
heavy-lidded eyes, habitually cast
down. And the habits of silence and
introspection were growing.
1t was on the evening of the day that
Jessie said she had thrown away "the
old blue dress" that the great change
came.
Jessie heard that a theatrical mana
ger was reorganizing a company for
season of comic opera. A neighbor has
told her he needed girls for the COM
pany-"girls with looks, and with
voices, If possible, but looks always"
And Jessie had been to town and been
engaged and had come back and told
Jack.
She was a little frightened by his
strange silence.
Il did it to help you along-because
the money will help us both," she said
in defense. Then she burst out into a
storm against the manner of their life.
81 hate the solitude here" she said.
Sometimes feel afraid of the hills.
1t seems as though they will fall over
me and crush me. And the silence here
is awful. l want to hear human voices.
want to hear people laugh and sing.
want color and movement and sound
instead of these walls of green making
a living tomb for u.s."
Jack had talked with her very gen.
thy, and she had answered every argu-
ment with a bitter protest. He answer
ed her sadly then:

A Mystery.
Coroner Heimark held an inquest at
Pelican Rapids over the remains of the
man found in the woods near that
place. County Attorney Hilton was
present and searching investigation
was made.
The evidence proved beyond rea-
sonable doubt that the remains were
those of Jacob Johnson who disap-
peared Sept. 8, 1895.
The same night his shanby was
burned. The verdict of the corUner's
jury was to the effect that the deceassd
came to his DEATH by having his
skull crushed by some instrument in
the hands of some person to the jury
unknown.
At the time of Johnson's disap pear
ance he was reported to have had a
considerable amount Of money on his
person, and there is is no doubt that
he was murdered for his money and
his body concealed by The murderer.

CoRNERING TAX DODGERS.

return of certain persons, who, complain
ing of the inquisitorial and other object
ionablc features of the revenue act of
1899 removed their residence to other
States thereby escaping taxation In North
Carolina, although still living here TO all
other purposes and intent. The tax listers
now making up the books for collection
have been instructed to enter upon the
same personal property valuation of
100000 against several who awaited them
selves of the non-residency and failed to
"domestlcate' this year when all object
ionable features of the law are eliminated.
Now the property owners, in order to
secure relief, will have to seek an in
junction against the sheriff to restrain
collection, thereby becoming aggressor
in Il suit while the commissioners become
defendants-a more desirable sutton in law
