Wanted to Be Convinced.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie receives each
week from twenty-five to fifty requests
for his autographs. The requests, as a
rule, are written in a dull and COM
mOnplaCe way, but now and then one
comes that causes Mr.. Carnegie to
smile. He was much amused at such
a one a little while ago. It was from
a schoolgirl Of thirteen. and, after ask
ing for an autograph in the usual way,
she ended with these willy words:

While there are no large lakes or
rivers in this whole country there are
numerous fast running streams fed
the year round by melting snow in
the mountains, furnishing an abund.

the best for beast as we'll as man.
Englishmen and Americans in the
western territories are bringing in
their herds as fast as they can and
leasing or purchasing land in lots
from 1000 to 10000 acres from the
Dominion government. An idea Of the
growth OF the industry will, however,
be gathered from the fact that In 1899
there were but 41,471 head Of cattle
shipped and sold from the ranches.
These figures ran to 55,129 in 1900,
and to 100000 in 1903, averaging $40
per head for the owners. But it takes
a great many ranchers and a large
number of cattle to cover an area OF
200, 100000 acres, the area available
for ranching in the Canadian North
west.
It Is not at all necessary that large
investments should be made at the
outset. Many men commenced with
small capital and small herds, and
have worked themselves into large
herds and great wealth. There is still
in the country plenty of room for
those who desire to go and do like
wise.
The Second Part.

prairies embraces the great wheat

is easily a half larger than any other

lifetime, for others an hour only can
elapse before the chains turn from
adornments to shackles.
The anger that Miss Fanny Glen
felt at this particular moment gave
her temporary reinsurance as to
some questions which had agitated
her-how much she cared, after all,
for Lieutenant Rhett Sempland, and
did she like him better. than Major
Harry Lacy? Both questions were
instantly decided in the negative-for
the time being. She hated Rhett
Sempland, per contra, at that mo-
ment; she loved Harry Lacy. For
difference began. Rhett Sempland,
confident Of his own affection and
hopeful as to hers, had attempted,
with masculine futility and obtuse-
ness, to prohibit the further attentions
Of Harry Lacey.

Sempland had been captured in an
obscure skirmish late in 1861.
Thru some hitch in the matter he had
been held prisoner in the north until
the close of 1868, when he had been
exchanged and, wretchedly i'll, he had
come back to Charleston, like Lacy,
to die. :.
He had found no opportunity for
distinction of any sort. There was no
glory aboW his situation, but prison
life and fretting had made him show
what he had suffered. At the hos
pital, then, like Lacy, he too had fall

perhaps, but the real hero, was much

beauty with unshakable courage and
reckless audacity was. not often seen
as Lacy exhibited. Sempland> was
homely. Lacy had French and Irish
blood in him, and he showed it.
Sempland was a mixture of sturdy
Dutch and English stock. Yet if
women found Lacy charming they in
stinctively depended upon Sempland.

RADIUM MONOPOLY


Winston Goodwin, a manufacturer,
discussing the alleged deposits of
radium in Connecticut, says: 1.-The
only known deposits of pitchblende in
America are in Haddam, in the Flad-
spar quarry, at MiddletoWn, and at
Branchville, in Wilton. AS the de-
mand exceeds the supply of radium
now being produced in France and
Germany, it's manufacture will surely
be undertaken in America in the near
future, in which event the manufac-
turer will naturally come to Connecti-
cut for his raw material.
Then will our pitchblende de-
posits be exploited and developed.
Regarding the recent discovery by
Yale scientists of the radioactive
properties of the water taken from the
deep well at New Milford and Lake
Saltonstall, the near proximity of these
veins of pitchblende seems sufficient
explanation for this radio-activity.'

Hero Versus Gentleman.


If there was any person that Miss
whom she was determined she would
And if there ever Was--if appearances
counted for anything-a masterful
man on earth, certainly Rhett Semp-
land, at that moment, was he.
The contrast between the two was
amusing, or would have been had not
the atmosphere been SO surcharged
with passionate feeling, for Rhett
Sempland was six feet high if he was
an inch, while Fanny Glen, by a Pro-
crustean extension of herself, could
just manage to cover the five-foot
mark; yet such was the spirit per-
meating the smaller figure that there
seemed to be no great disparity, from
the standpoint of combatantS, bet
tween them after all.
Rhett Sempland was deeply in love
with Miss Fanny Glen. His full con-
seriousness Of that fact shaded his at
tempted mastery by ever so little.
He was sure of the state of his af-
fections, and by that knowledge the
weaker, for Fanny Glen was not at all
sire that she was in love with Rhett
Sempland. That is to say, she had not
yet realized it; perhaps better, she
had not yet admitted the existence of
d reciprocal passion in her own breast
to that she had long since learned had
sprung UP in his. BY just that lack
of admission she was stronger that
he for the moment. When she dis

aunt, They had taken a house in the
fashionable quarter of the city-they
were not poor at any rate-and had
installed themselves therein with their
slaves.
They made no attempt to enter into
the social life of the city and only
became prominent when Charleston
began to feel acutely the hardships Of
the war which it had done more than
any other section to promote.
Then Fanny Glen showed her quail
ity. A vast hospital was established
and the young women Of the city vol
unteered their services.
The corps of nurses was in a state
of constant fuxion. Individuals came
and went. Some of them married pa
tients, some of them died with them,
but Fanny Glen abided.
Not merely because she stayed while
others did not, but perhaps on ac-
count of her innate capacity, as well
as her tactful tenderness: she became
the chief of the women attached to
the hospital. Many sick soldier
lived to love her. Many another, more
sorely stricken, died blessing her.
In Charleston she was regarded as
next in importance to the general who
his ships, his forts, his guns, and his
men, had been for two years fighting
off the tremendous assaults that were
hurled upon the city from the union
| ironclads and ships far out to sea. It
| was a point of honor to take. or to
hold, Charleston, and the confeder-
ates held it till 1865!
Fanny Glen was privileged char
acter, therefore and could go any
where and do anything, within the
lines.
Under other circumstances there
would have been thoro inquiry by
the careful inhabitants Of the. proud
strict southern city into her family
relationships; but the war was a great
leyeler. people were taken at their real
value when trouble demonstrated 1t,
and few questions were asked. Those
that were asked about Fanny Glen
1were not answered. It made little
difference, then.
Toward the close of 1863, however
there was an eclipse in the general
hospital, for Fanny Glen fell ILL.,

Wounded pride, outraged dignity,

enough for a regiment of GONZALES
cents.
The difference between the two Gull
minated in disturbance which might
aptly be called cyclonic, for Sempland
on nearly the first occasion that he
had been permitted to leave the hos
pital had repaired to Fanny Glen's
house and there had repeated, stand
ing erect and looking down upon her
Bonded head, what he had said so
often with his eyes and once at least
with his lips, from his bed in the ward;
that he loved her and wanted her for
his wife.
Pleasant thing it was for her to
hear, too.
And Fanny Glen had not rejected
him; neither had she accepted him.
She had pleaded for time, she had
hesitated, and would have been lost,
had Sempland been as wise as he was
brave. Perhaps he wasn't quite mas
ter of himself on account of his ex-
perience in war, and his lack of it in
women, for he instantly conceived
that her hesitation was due to some
other cause than maidenly incertitude,
and that Harry Lacy, of whom he had
grown nightly jealous, was at the
bottom of it.
He hated and envled Lacy. More,
he despised him for his weaknesses
and their consequences. The two had
been great friends once, but a year or
two before the outbreak of the war
they had drifted apart.
Sempland did not envy Lacy any tall
ents that he might possess, for he was
l.qite confident that the only thing he
himself lacked had been opportunity
Fate had not been kind to him, the

when he jumped to the conclusion that
Fanny Glen preferred Lacy, he fell

had given him entitled him to decide
