do this was the new corporation and
his lamp the countless thousands of gold
dollars to be spent before the dream
could be real. He showed the safe
guards thrown about the rights of the
people and the limitations placed on the
company. He referred with scorn and
contempt to the howlings of the oppor-
tunist demagogues and journalistic SEN
sationalists which he said stood ever
and always against every great con-
structive measure and every fearless
step forward.
In q single touch he exploded the
claims of the settlers and showed that
they had no legal title whatever to the
land on which they had squatted. He
ended with a splendid peroration de-
manding that courage and honesty
govern the votes cast and that the great
est good to the greatest number and the
onward progress Of the race should not
be halted by timidity, sentimentality
and demagogy.
The speech was . triumph Of oratory
and of human reason, and Melbourne
left the capitol with the plaudits Of his
fellows and conscious that he had won
10 tremendous triumph.
He entered his Office with a feeling of
elation such as he seldom had ex-
perienced. He always maintained what
he termed an office" in connection with
his bachelor apartments. His steno-
grapher was already rafting of the
speech on the typewriter. He always
had his own stenographer take his
speeches, as he liked to see them in cold
type just as he made them. 1t helped
him in self-criticism.
''They seemed to like the speech, Miss
Wilson," he said, laughing in self
satisfied way What did you think OF
it?"
The girl turned her serious face and
clear gray eyes toward him, and after a
moments hesitation, replied:
Il think it was very clever and a
very eloquent and very convincing
speech, Mr.. Melbourne, but / would
have had my right hand cut off before
would have delivered it,
Melbourne paused in the removal OF
his gloves, and looked trifle puzzled
and amused.
"Why?" he asked. Surely your clear
head has not become tangled by these
ranters."
mo, 1t isn't that" she replied, "and l
cannot argue it with you, Of course. But
was thinking of those poor settlers
who have gone out into that wilderness
and of all the toll and hardships they
have gone through, and now Uncle Sam
is to tell them as he told the Indians,
Move on And they must go out and
find other bad lands that nobody else
wants and start over again and starve
and suffer and endure And they are so
much older now and 1t means the same
hard life for the younger generation and
the one following that fear. And the
women and children have suffered SO
much"
Her eyes had grown softer and softer
as she progressed and they were bright
with tears as she stopped, her voice
trailing off into something between a
whisper and a sob at the last. Mel
bourne's face was serious and the
amused expression had been swallowed
up by the puzzled

Melbourne passed into his inner Office,
sat down at his desk and went to work
at his papers. His face was still serious
and every now and then q look of an
noyance would steal into 1t.
The months sped by. The Bracken
bill became law and was attacked by
an attorney representing the settlers.
The irrigation corporation retained
Robert Melbourne as chief counsel, as
sisted by the ablest lawyers in the coun-
try. The matter was rushed into the
supreme court to ascertain the con-
stitutionality of the provisions Of the
law that deprived the settlers of their
claim to the land they held. Melbourne
took a great interest in the case, as It
promised to be famous one, and
victory would give him wide prestige.
He worked hard and diligently on the
brief and ransacked the law books night
and day for precedents. His stenog-
rapher wrote and rewrote the various
paragraphs over and over again. Once
in awhile as he glanced at her grave face
and calm eyes doubt would possess his
mind, but he would dismiss it and
plunge into the work harder than ever.
At last the brief was finished and Mel
bourne asked Miss Wilson to read it
to him. It was habit Of his to have
her do this while he sat with closed eyes
and tried to pick a vulnerable point. He
could not find the suggestion of flaw in
this one.

"No sir, do not" she replied, land
1t certainly is a work Of art. But
would rather that my brother, or my
father, were in their graves than that
they should do that thing-even with
all the fame 1t would bring them"
He looked at her intently for mo-
ment, then rose abruptly and went out,
saying:
Tam going out Of town for few days
maybe two weeks. Put the brief in
the safe. will be back in time to file
it,
1t was fully two weeks before he re-
turned. When he did he asked Miss
Wilson to bring him the brief in the
Bracken case. It was in the late fall
and fire was burning in the open crate.
He glanced the brief through and tossed
it into the blaze.
The girl started and looked at him il
surprise.
Il have been out there among those
people" he said, regarding her intently.
'"And l have resigned as counsel in this

never dreamed of in the past two weeks.

need you, Miss Wilson-Clara will you
help me place my life and my motives on

The world was scarcely less surprised
at Robert Melbourne's resignation from
the Bracken law case than at his mar
riage to his stenographer But Mel
bourne had many other surprises in
store for the world.

has the following to say regarding it:
"The water that you sent me for an
alyss | find to be a very fine water
1t is very rich in lime and magnesia
carbonates. There are two kinds of
hard water, viz: permanent and tenn
porary. Yours is what is called tenn
porary hard water You will find by
boiling it for a few minutes it will
become very soft, and will not need
the addition of sal soda or lye to
break it in order to lather with soap.
1t is also my opinion that it is very
healthy drinking water. 1t would be
superior water to irrigate with,
from the fact it contains a large per-
centage of carbonates. which all the
forms of vegetable life depend upon.
This water spread out upon the
ground on growing crop, in the sun
shine, would undergo a chemical
change The carbonic acid gas would
be liberated into the atmosphere,
and serve as food for the plant, to be
absorbed by the leaves of the plant,
while the lime and magnesia would
form a white coat on the ground, in
no way impairing it. 1t is far super
ior to the water we have here."-Por-
tales Times.

plains that this does not mean that
.-Kuropatkin is bound further north at
this time, but is simply precau-

not more than 1000 votes to over

harmony that pervades the party we
are very hopeful of victory"
