side her at the window while the dark
ness was enveloping the world. II

your windows, Dolores. Can you see
Venus above the mountains when II

She lifted her true eyes to his face.
and a flush was coming into the pure.
pale face.
There are few I can place In the

no friends, you know. And my mother

Yes" he made answer. smiling
into the lifted face so near his own.

love her"
The girl shook her head. There was
no deepening of the soft colortng OF
her face, no tremor of the proudly
curved red lips. no dropping OF the
silken lashes over the dark eyes.
Il know nothing about love-" she
said. quietly. Il have only my father
and my mothers books"
His eyes darkened suddenly. a
strange tenderness came over the fair.
kindly face.
After ALL there is a sadness about
love; perhaps it is as well, Dolores"
He turned swiftly from her, and
crossing the room lighted only by the
fiickering fire, his figure defined in
grotesque shapes upon the walls, he
entered the room beyond. leaving her
motionless at the darkened window,
her eyes following him.
Presently she left the window also
and. crossing to a shelf at the other
brought her and opened 1t to her
fayorite reading of the fables of the
stars. Her eyes bent over the pages
were luminous. her cheeks flushed
softly. She was out of her narrowed
life with the infinite range of the
heavens spread before her; the mill
ions and millions of miles of space
carried her mind with the thoughts
far, far above the shut-in life of her
mountain home and the stolid settle
ment that had no life but the tavern
and the gossip.
AS young Green entered the bed
room the nurse was setting things to
rights for the night: she smiled at
him as he entered; the two doctors
we're talking together in an under
tone.
Take good care of her, Mrs. Allen"
he said. earnestly: "and see that she

Wonderful stories are related OF
Riwes' curative powers. He healed
Robert Parker, who had for two years
been unable to perform manual labor.
as his right arm was in such condi-
ton from palsy or other cause that
he could not keep it from jerking all
the time. He was forced to carry 1t
In a sling. and the strongest man
was unable to hold 1t still and pre-
vent 1t from jerking. Parker Is now
sound and we'll, after one treatment.
The very credulous are even say
ing that Rives caused the blind to
see, the deaf to hear. and the lame
to walk. Persons come daily to be
treated, and Rives' residence has been
converted into hospital. Rives Is
being daily importuned to visit the
anlicted in their homes.
There is no doubt in the case of
Parker that before he was treated by
Rives he had to depend upon charity
for the support of himself and family
and that he is now able to do hard
work, such as plowing, chopping and
saving.

of malice. folks said. but they were
waiting for her father to prove It.
The door of the bedroom opened.
and the nurse came out. She was an
elderly woman with grave face. She
brought several parcels from the
town. Young Green sent her note
by the man who went to fetch the doc
tors. and she knew what to bring. One
or two of these she opened and pre-
pared beef and broth. She spoke
quietly and pleasantly to Dolores, but
she found her own way about the

There are not many men in the

quickly than Sir Harry Keppel. He
was a commodore at twenty-four, and
at this early age was sent to the gov
ernor of Algiers to demand an apol-
ogy from that morarch for an insult
to the British flag.
Naturally the gold braid of the
commodore fired the youth to deeds
of daring, and. perhaps. little bit
of "side," and the high tone which
he arrogated to himself upset his
majesty Of Algiers to such an extent
that that dusky potentate cried out
against the insolence of the British
queen for sending "beardless boy"
with such a message to him.
But young keppel was prepared.
