her in this far wandering from the

shall never love again."
Poor medicine as It is, work was
ever the best salve known for hurt
ing heart. Franklin betook him to his
daily work, and he saw success attend
his labors. He felt growing in his
heart the stubbornness of the man Of
property, the landholding man, the
man who even unconsciously plans a
home. resolved to cling to that which
he has taken Of the earth's surface for
his own. He knew that this per7eyvid
time could not endure. knew that the
sweep of American civilization must
occupy all this land as 1t had all the
lands from the Alleghenies to the
plains. He foresaw in this crude new
region the scene OF great material
activity, vast Industrial develop
ment. It needed no groat foresight
to realize that all this land, now SO
wild and cheap, could not long remain.
wild and cheap, but must follow the
history Of values as 1t had been writ
ten up to the edge of that time and
place.
OF law business of an actual sort
there was next to none at Ellisville. all
the transactions being in wild lands
and wild cattle, but, as did all attor-
neys of the time, Franklin became
broker before he grew to be profess
sional man. Fortunate in securing the
handling Of the railroad lands, he sold
block after block Of wild land to the
pushing men who came out to the
front" in search of farms and cattle
ranches. His own profits he invested
again in land. Thus he early found
himself making much more than live

rebuff received. Franklin none the less
lin time recovered sufficient eQuanimity
to seek to avail himself Of such advan-
tages as still remained; and he re
solved grimly that he would persist un-
til at least he had been accepted as
something better than laundering
boor. Under Major Buford's invita-
lion he called now and again at the
Halfway Ranch and the major was
glad each time to see him. Mrs. Bu-
ford also received Franklin with pleas
ure, and Mary Ellen certainly always
with politeness. Yet, fatal sign, Mary
Ellen never ran for her mirror when
she knew that Franklin was coming.
OF lovers Mary Ellen would hear Of
none and this was Franklin's sole con-
ISOLATION. Yet all day as he labored
there was present In his subconscious-
ness the personality Of this proud and
sweet-faced girl. Her name was
spelled large upon the sky, was voiced
by all the birds. It was indeed her
face that looked up from tho printed
page. He dared not hope. and yet
shrunx from the thought that he must
not, knowing what lethargy must else
ingulf his soul. He heard SO clearly
the sweet. imperious summons which
Is the second command put upon ami
mate nature: First to prevail, 70
live: second. to love. to survive. As
tree whispers unto tree. as flower
yearns to flower, SO came the mandate
TO his being in that undying speech
that knows no change from the begin
ming to the end Of time.
Against this overwhelming desire of
an impetuous love there was raised but
one barrier-the enduring resistance OF
a woman's will. silent, not strenuous,
unprotesting. but unchanged. To all
his renewed pleadings the girl simply
said that she had no heart to give
that her hope of happiness lay buried
on the field of Louisburg, In the far
OF land that she had known in young
- and less troubled days. Leaving
that land, orphaned. penniless. her life
crushed down Mt the very portal Of
womanhood, her friends scattered, her
family broken and destroyed. her
whole world overturned, she had left
also all hope Of a later happiness.
There remained to her only tho men,
DRY Of n past. the honor that she
priced, the traditions which she must
maintain. She was "unreconstruct-
3D." as she admitted bitterly. More

Convinced Russia's Emperor That
They Were Awake and Active.
The Paris correspondent Of London
Truth tells this story of the manner
In which the Russian government test
ed the efficiency Of the French detec.
tive police when the czar was about
to visit Paris. The chief of the Rms.
sian police went secretly to the
French capital, with orders to lie
quietly by in a hotel and only to re-
port himself at the embassy after q
stay of week. But he had not been
three hours in Paris before the pre-.
feet OF police learned Of his arrival
from a French detective. At st. Pc
tersburg they thought this satisfac-
tor result, and the imperial pair
venlured to go to Paris and drive
down the Champs Elysees without
cavalry around their carriage.
A similar test applied in Rome had
different consequences. The head Of
the Russian police remained there for
a whole week without his arrival be-
ing suspected. On the evening of the
sixth day he called on Count Nelidoff
to report himself. to the great aston.
ishment of that ambassador. They
both agreed that II the Roman police
had not scented out the head Of the
greatest police force in the world they
could not be depended upon to know
much about ehe goings on Of anarch'
lists and nihilists. This is alleged to
be the true reason why the czar de-
clined to trust himself in tho king Of
Italy's dominions.

CHAPTER xv.-contInued.

CHAPTER Xv.-Contlnued.
In the swift current of humanity
then streaming up and down the cattle
range, the reputation of the Hallway
House was carried far and near; and
for fifty miles east and west, for fve
hundred miles north and south, the
beauty of the girl at the Halfway
House was matter of general story.
About her there grew saga of the
cow range, and she was spoken of with
awe from the Brazos to the Blue.
Many rude cowman made long pill
grimage to verify rumors he had
heard Of the personal beauty, the per-
sonal sweetness Of nature, the personal
kindness of heart, and yet the personal
reserve and dignity of this new god
dess, whose like was not to be found
In all the wide realms of the range.
For each of these rude, silent, awk-
ward range riders, who stammered in
all speech except to men or horses,
and who stumbled In all locomotion but
that Of the saddle, Mary Ellen had a
kind spot in her soul. never ceasing
to wonder as she did at the customs
and traditions of their life. Pain they
knew not, fear they had not, and duty
was their only god. They told her,
simply as children, of deeds which
now caused a shudder, now set ting
ling the full blood of enthusiasm, and
opened up unconsciously to her view
a rude field Of knight-errantry, whose
principles sat strangely close with the
best traditions of her own earlier land
and time. They were knights-erran
and for all on the Ellisville trail there
was but one lady.

could not in his moments of widest
egotism assign himself to a place any
better than that accorded each mem

herds Of the buffalo. The face Of Na-
ture was changing. The tremendous
drama Of the West was going on in all
its giant action. This torrent Of rude
life, against which the hands of the
law were still SO weak and unavailing.
had set for it in the ways Of things q
limit for its flood and time. for Its
receding.
The West was a noble country, and
1t asked Of each man what nobility
there was in his soul. Franklin began
to grow. AS he looked beyond the day
of cattle and foresaw the time Of the
plough, SO also he gazed far forward
into the avenues OF his own life, now
opening more clearly before him. He
rapidly forecast the possibilities Of the
profession which he had chosen, and
with grim self-confdence felt them
well within his power. Beyond that,
then. he asked himself, in his curious
selfQuestioning manner, what was
there to be? !. Wherein was he to gain
that calmness and that satisfaction
which ought to attend each human
soul. and entftle 1t to the words well
doneT Odd enough were some of
these self-searchings which went on
betimes in the little ONCE Of this
plainsman lawyer; and strangest of all
to Franklin's mind was the feeling
that. as his heart had not yet gained
that which was its right neither had
his hand yet fallen upon that which
1t was to do.
Franklin rebelled from the technical
side Of the law, not SO much by reason
Of its dry difficulty as through scorn of
its admitted weakness, Its inability to,
do more than compromise; through
contempt Of its pretended benefcences
and its frequent ineficiency and harm.
fulness. In the law he saw plainly the
lash of the taskmaster. driving all
those yoked together in the horrid
compact of society. a master inexor-
able, stonesfaced, cruel. In it he found
no comprehension, seeing that 1t re-
garded humanity either as a herd of
slaves or pack of wolves, and not
as brethren laboring, suffering, per
forming common destiny, yielding to
a common fate. He saw in the law
no actual recognition of the individual,
but only the acknowledgment Of the
social body. Thus. set down in a day
miraculousiy clear. placed among
strong characters who had never yet
yielded up their souls, witnessing that
time which knew the last blaze Of the
spirit of men absolutely free. Franklin
felt his own soul leap into prayer
for the continuance of that day. See
ing then that this might not be. he fell
sometimes to the dreaming Of how
he might some day. II blessed by the
plying and understanding spirit Of
things, bring out these types. per
petuate these times, and SO at last set
them lovingly before world which
might at least wonder. though it did
not understand. Such were his vague
dreams. unformulated: but, happily.
meantime he was not content merely
to dream.

The Americana Hawaiian liner Neva-
dan came into port yesterday and tieo
up at the companys dock at about
noon. She brings one of the largest
cargoes ever brought from Puget Sound
to this port. 1t consists principally or
cold storage, beer, meats. fish, vege-
tables and fruit. Eleven hundred and
fifty tons of general merchandise go
to Kahului The steamer left San
Francisco on the 18th of September,
Seattle October 7th and Tacoma Octo-
Der 9th, the passage to this port be-
ing accomplished in eight and one-half
days. Purser Weeden reports that dur
ing the first three days strong south
east and westerly winds were encoun-
tered with heavy seas. The remainder
of the passage was made in light winds
and with frequent heavy rains. After
discharging her cargo for this port
the Nevadan will proceed to Kahului
and from that port to the Sound,
thence to San Francisco. This is her
last round trip to the Sound this sea-
son as the through, New York boats
will start in on that run next month.
The Alaskan, now out IS days from
New York will be the first of the
