will not housekeeping for me be
occupation enough?" he answered,
smiling. ''or you might give music
lessons and study shorthand. I need
a typewriter even now
But what will Aunt Susan think of
the change? And it will be such
change for her!"
"she will get used to it," he an
swered
Then, as Alice began to realize what
it meant to bid goodby to the scenes Of
her childhood, the old home, the great
trees in front, the broad meadows, the
brook that rippled through them, the
little church where every one greeted
her with a smile, and the grand old
hills that surrounded Sandgates
peaceful valley, her heart began to
sink. Then she thought Of the pleas
ant woods where she had so often
gone nutting in autumn, the old mill
pond where every summer since baby
hood she had gathered lilies, and even
those barefooted school children Of
hers.
II shall dislike to go, after al,'' she
said at last, ''bur perhaps It IS pest.
I shall be homesick for spell, but
then I shall have you'' Then she
rose and like big baby crept into
her brothers lap, and, tucking her
sunny head under his chin, whispered:
ooh, if you were never going to be
married, BERTHE, would leave it all
and try to be contented. could come
up here every summer, could not?''
Then she added disconsolately: But
you will get married soon. Your beau
tiful island girl will not keep you
waiting SO long,"
mo sweetheart and no wife shall
ever lessen my love for you. Alice,
who have been my playmate, my COM
panion and my confdant all my life.''
When they had discussed the pro-
posed step in all it's bearings for half,
hour Albert said: "Come, now, sis,
sing little for me. I am hungry to
hear you once more.''
She complied willingly, and, as the
piquant voice Of Alice Page trilled
the list from Lilly Dale to "Suwanee
River and back to "Bonny Eloise'
and "Patter Of the Rain," Albert lazi-
" puffed his pipe and lived over his
boyhood days.
When the concert was ended he ex-
claimed: II will look around before
Christmas and see what kind of a
fat can be found, and then when your
school closes you must come down
and visit me and see how you like
Boston,
"Oh, that will be just delightful,
only you must promise not to tell the
Nasons that am coming
"But if they find it out Blanch and
Frank would feel bitterly hurt" he
replied. Remember, they did you the
honor of coming up here to visit you,
and Blanch has said to me several
times that she hoped you would visit
her this winter"
Il should love to- replied Alice, hes
itating, "but-well, will tell you what
we can dove will wait until the day
before am to return, and then we can
call there one evening. They need not
know how long I have been in Bos-
ton"
When morning and departure came
Albert said: 81 will do as you wish,
sweet sister, and unless some of the
Nasons should meet US at a theater I
imagine it will work all right, only it
is a little rough on Frank"

F@SSIN[ much, although Alice noticed
Sz.S5 that she was more quiet than
ever and avoided that subject.
I'm ready an willin' to so if you
think BEST she said, AN I'll do my
best as long as I can. l hain't got
long to stay, an if I see you two hap
py I'm content"
Two weeks before Christmas came a
cordial letter from Blanch reminding
Alice of her promise to visit her dur
ing the holidays and insisting that she
do so now. With it was inclosed an
equally cordial but brief note of invita-
ton from Mrs. Mason. Alice replied to
both in due form and with profuse
thanks, also stating that she had prom
lsed her brother she would visit him
during her vacation, and hoped to have
one or two evenings with them at that
time,
Alice inclosed both notes to her broth
er and told him he had best inform
the Nasons Of her intended visit in q
matter of fact way. But she added,
do not let on that you know they
have invited me to visit them. We
will do just as we talked-go there and
spend one or two evenings, or perhaps
may meet them at theater, which
would be much better.''
By return mail came his assurance
of obedience and a stable check. use
it all, my dear SIS he wrote, "and for
your own needs, too I do not want
you to feel ashamed Of your gowns
when you come to Boston,
BLESS his dear heart" said Alice
when she read the letter, "what prize
that island girl will get in him!'
When Christmas came and she
kissed Aunt Susan goodby, she was
near giving up the trip altogether. 1t
may have been the sad face of her
aunt that brought the irresolution, or
a feeling that meeting Frank would
reawaken the little heartache she had
for five months been trying to conquer.

Mrs. Mason began chatting with
Alice in the pleasantest way and with
seemingly cordial interest in all she
said, while Blanch kept quiet and
Edith devoted herself to Albert. It
was after the second curtain when
Mrs. Mason said: II must insist that
you divide your visit with us, Miss
rage, and allow us to return little of
your hospitality. OF course 1 under
stand that your brother comes first,
and rightly, too, but we must claim q
part Of your time"
Il had promised myself one or two
evenings at your home" Alice an
swered quietly, "but do not feel that
| ought to desert BERTHE more than
that
Then, for the first time, Blanch put
in her little word: ''Now, do not offer
your brother as an excuse. / have
been anticipating your promised visit
for long time, and no brother is 60
| ing to rob me of it. I shall come
around tomorrow forenoon, and if YOU
are not ready to go back with me, bag
and baggage, I will just take your
baggage. and then you will have to
come"
Il do not see why you cannot see
your brother and visit with him just as
well at our house," put in Mrs. Mason.
HE is always welcome there
Alice turned to her brother, remark
ing, 1T is nice of you to insist, and I
am more than grateful, but it must be
as he says" Then she added prettily,
HE is my papa and mamma now, and
the cook and captain bold and mate Of
the Nancy brig as well.''
Il will stir up mutiny on the Nancy
brig If he does not consent" laughed
Blanch; $50 there is an end to that, and
you must be ready at 10 tomorrow"

will a reservoir claim hold good?"

under r. D. S. No. 1872 covering the ny
SEA and the nH w4 sec. IL, twp. I4I,

idian, Bismarck land district, North
Dakota.
You have submitted proof Of the con
st'uction Of a reservoir on said land
which rrnot is pending before this office.
O,ing IT, the pressure Of business ii has
not vet been reached tor examination.
1t appears that the district land offices
have permitted a homestead entry to be
made for the said tracts, over your filing,
and YOU are DESTROYS OF knowing what
effect this entry may have as to your
rights in the premises. In reply you are
advised that it is a rule OF this office to
allow a homestead entry over d rcser-
volr declaratorv statement, but if the
reservoir claimant periects his claim and
constructs a reservoir of such capacity
as 10 warrant the reservation of the land
described IN his statement, and presents
proof thereof, upon the acceptance and
approval of such proof by the secretary
ct the interior for the land will be per-
manently reserved, and any subsequent
entry thereon will be cancelled.
AS the case stands, you appear to have
the superior right in the premises and
the homesteader has no right to inter
tere with you in any way so long as you
comply with the law. Very respectfully
w. H. Richards, Commissioner.
