The book had slipped from his hand

Lavina Ketcham made a gentle
wife; she gave up much for peace.
and at first she had loved her hus-

brute nature. Her nature was fine,
and she was true to him always, but
love was out of the question then. He
forbade her the use of her books, and
In that only she would not obey him.
For nature like hers to die men
She was above him as the stars she
loved were above her, and she knew
IL. and he knew 1t also; he hated her

She was a school teacher, and as
school teachers did not thrive that side

him noble because Of this generous
act as women will believe of the men

otherwise, when the sweet If rather
blind faith in them can never return

Her daughter inherited her nature
only in a far higher degree. Her hus-
band knew It, and the neighbors knew

nearly every word OF theirs was known

would have stopped It from the first.
He did not know 1t, for he had never

CHAPTER /.
The Girl.
~ JEAN KATE LVDLV


The Girl.
The day was dreary when she was
born, not only because the rain was
falling in q drizzling fashion and n
mist hung over the hills, but because
she was born. Her mother, having
soft heart, felt all her tenderness
awaking for her weak daughter, and
gathered her into her arms with half
plying caress. But her mother did
not live long. and some of her friends
went so far as to say that it was we'll
she did not, for she would have spoiled
the girl.
Her father-well, there was no dan
ger of her father spelling the girl
with tenderness. He considered her
birth one of the blows fate dealt him,
and he said he had had many blows
from fate, He said fate was against
him; people said he was shiftless; they
said also that there was hardly a
doubt that the girl would be the same.
None of the Johnsons amounted to
much-at least that branch of the fam
lily. Lemuel Johnson, this mans
brother, was rich, rumor said, and they
did not blame him for having nothing
to do with his shiftless brother. He
lived In fine house in New York;
was enterprising and shrewd; how
could anyone blame him for dropping
this ne'er-do-well brother?
His brother thought differently.
Lemuel was rich; fate had been good
to him; II was but right that he should
help him; 1t was an unheard OF thing
that he had never offered to help him
especially when this added burden was
laid upon his already too heavily laden
shoulders. OF what good to him was
girl? Girls were of little use. Had
she been a boy-but she was not q
boy, and she was motherless from the
time she was three weeks old.
With pathetic appreciation of the
fitness Of things her mother named
her Dolores. And from the time she
was taken from the dying mothers
arms her large brown eyes, shaded
by long curling lashes, looked out upon
the world with strange gravity and
a knowledge of what 1t meant to be
brought into the world unwelcome ant
unloved.
She seldom cried. She never cooe,
as other and happier babies do. An,
az she grew older silence grew upo
her. She said little and the neighbor
seldom ran in to gossip with her as the
did with each other, for there wa
no useg she took no interest in then
or their gossip no one could tall
easily with her eyes upon them. 81
when she grew old enough to attent
to the household matters herself, the,
left her alone; even the children o
her own age dropped her as though
she had been dead.
She was an excellent cook. and KEEP
the house we'll. In these things hel
father had no fault to find He sci
dom spoke to her; II the food were

Stockmen's Convention at Dodge.

The Southwestern Stockmen's Con-
vention will be held at Dodge City to-
morrow, Thursday, March 31st. The
notice reached the Index too late to
announce it last week. Barber county
stockmen will find it to their interest to
attend this meeting.
The purposes of this meeting
are for the discussion of, and to help
provide ways aud means for the better
ment Of present prices, not only Of
cattle but for all live stock.
The undesirable conditions which
have existed at the different great live
stock markets of the country for the
past year are no longer IN comparison
Or proportion with prices paid by the
consumer, aud while the country in
general is said 10 be enjoying prosperi-
ty, good prices for the most products
and labor employed, there is no just
reason why cattle should sell on foot at
the present low prices.
The Independent Packing Company
recently organized believes 1T has found
remedy. 1t is legitimate and healthy
competition.
At this meeting representatives of
this company will be present and eX-
plain how it as a company hopes to
correct this evil of low prices, and will
try to instruct US how to better our
condition in the business in which we
are engaged.
Reduced rates on all railroads have
been granted for those who desire to
go to the convention.
