CHAPTER XIV.
Bacon and EGGS.

| Dolores slept, not because Of young
Green's wish that she should sleep
but because she was worn out from
watching and anxiety, and fell into a
dreamless slumber almost as soon as
her head touched the pillow; and II
was broad daylight when she again
woke to everyday life.
| She bathed her face In cold water
When she was dressed she went out
to the other room.
Mrs. Allen had kindled fire on the
hearth, and the kettle was singing
cheerily over the leaping flames; the
coffee filed the room with fragrance
As Dolores entered she spoke pleas
antly to her, noting the faint trace
of color in the cheeks and the bright.
ness of the brave dark eyes.
Good morning, Dolores. Break
fast will be ready on the table in a
moment II you are ready"
The girl looked steadily into the
kindly eyes opposite. her own very
searching.
How is my father?"
Asleep, Miss Johnson-asleep and
quiet. 1t is the best thing for him."
Dolores turned away and went out
to the entry preparing to go In the
rain. Then she took the pail and went
to the shed to milk Brindle. Mrs. AL
len paused at the window to watch
her She was grotesque figure strid-
ing through the storm with her faith
er's hat on, and the boots pathetically
out Of place on her feet. The nurse
shook her head as she went back
into the room setting the dishes and
preparing the bacon and eggs for the
doctors beyond the closed doors.
Dolores was drenched when she
reached the shed, but she minded it
apparently not at all. She pushed
back the shawl and drew the three
legged stool out of the corner. The
streams of milk in the pail joined In
with the rain against the windows.
1t was half gloom in the shed. When
the pail was full Dolores pulled down
some hay from the NOW overhead
and Brindle buried her broad. soft
nose in it with deep breath of con-
tent.
The girl carried the foaming milk to
the house, and strained it into pans,
the nurse watching her curiously-
Then she prepared the feed for the
chickens and went out to feed them.
When she returned to the house Mrs.
Allen removed her wet clothing and
requested her to change her gown,
hers was SO wet and draggled.
Dolores looked at her in surprise.
She was in the habit of performing
these duties rain or shine, and it
never harmed her; rain was but rain.
II might be that she was used to it
was the reason why she did not mind
it. The other women of the settle
ment did the same, and not one of
them feared wetting; they gave no
thought TO it; they knew nothing bet
ter; the rain came or the sun. and
the work was done; doubtless the men
would have been surprised had the
women complained. She moved from
her companion to the fire.
They will want their breakfast"

NOVEL METHOD OF SUICIDE
English Jurist Had Himself Shot BY
His Ga. >ekeepers.


His Ga. 'ekeepers.
Lord Chief Justice Hankford of
England. who lived in a former CEN
fury. notwithstanding his high posi-
ton, became so tired of life that he
determined to shuttle of this mortal
coil. But he feared to commit sui
eide, because at the time verdict Of
felo de Sc followed as a matter of
course, and the body of the suicide
was buried at four crossroads with
a stake thrust through it. Further.
he had to avert the consequences to
his relatives of forfeiture of his goods.
which was also one Of the penalties
for selfdestruction. He adopted q
novel expedient. Several of his deer
having been stolen, he gave orders to
his keepers to shoot any person they
met in or near the park at night who
did not Immediately stand when
challenged. Then on a dark night
he threw himself in the path of the
keepers and. not answering the chal
lenge, was shot dead on the spot The
stump of an old oak under which he
fell still marks the scene Of the trag-
edy and goes to this day by the name
of landlords oak

coat, with high boots and a close
gray cap. He struggled moment
with the rickety gate, and then hur-
riod up the drenched walk.
Mrs. Allen tapped lightly on the
bedroom door, and Charlie and DR..
Dunwiddie came out at once. They
met the newcomer at the door with
few hurried words. Young Green
took his coat and hat, and hung them
in the entry to drip.
Dolores had not changed her posi-
ton; she still stood at the dresser,
the book closely clasped In her hands
as though a friend When her uncle
advanced toward her she eyed him
searchingly.
She was disappointed in him; there
was nothing remarkable about him;
he was short and stout; she did not
like, short, stout men; his face was
f1orid, his hair red.
Placing his two hands on her shout
ders he turned her toward the light,
cycling her keenly.
And this is Joe's girl" he said.
She disliked him at once; her wide
brown eyes met his blue ones square
ly. but the eager light had died from
them, they were cold and calm; he
could see no farther than the surface.
Her mouth, too, was straight and I'M
yielding. To her his tone implied
that she disappointed him; it was Of
