chose the post of danger, running
with all her might to meet the COM

she frantically signaled the engineer
to stop. He hesitated. But her
earnestness was so great that he re-

airbrakes were applied and the train

WITHIN THE PROPHETIC CIRCLE

So very few the years since he had
left his fair-haired wife, and sailed
away into this unknown land of ice
and snow, with youth and health and
hope and dreams of marvellous
achievement. 1t might have been told
him it was 20-or twice 20-years,
and he would not have doubted. He
wondered if this trembling, wasted.
dim-eyed, haggard, rough-bearded
man could be the bright-eyed laddie
who swung his cap in goodby in the
sunshine two-or 2O?-years ago.
The old, old tale; peril from cold
and ice and hunger and illness; dead

ter defeat. Now, he was alone. No
life of twig, or leaf. or bird or animal
to lessen the awful silence. Waste
on waste of cold, white, solemn still
ness and unchanging darkness over
head. The very shadow of loneliness
looked at him from the dead, frozen
face of his last comrade.
a shuddering longing for motion,
to get away from it, thrilled his stiff
fleming limbs; and he staggered down
to the little boat on the edge of the
ice foe; and pushed it with trambl-
ing haste into the bit of black, open
water 1t would be undoubtedly TO
his death; but better anything than
that passive waiting.
Lying exhausted in the bottom of
his boat, the great bergs neared and
passed him by Huge, jagged, the
masses of ice closed up impenetrably
before him. and then little passage
was reft for his boat to pass through.
How long he fioated, he would never
know. Whittier, he cared not. Dead
to all pain and hunger and fear he
foated upon mysterious currents

THREE STAGES
THREE RINGS

One can get good idea of the
magnitude of the greatest show on
earth by considering for a moment
that three stages, three circus rings,
and a race track are required to ex-
hibit the 100 acts. Besides these,
again, there are any quantity of
aerial apparatus to enable the skilled
artists to execute the thrilling acts
in the air which are their specialties.
Then there are two menageres, an
elephant pavilion with three herds of
big performing pachyderms, double
horner rhinOceros, a drove of camels,
herd of giraffes, cages of wild beasts,
birds, monkeys, etc, besides all the
cuos led animals, llamas. alpacas
guanacOs and many others. And
again there is a most delightful ex-
hibition. which is performed in the
mnagerie-an exhibition of the most
charming character executed by the
troupe of midgets, the giant, the
Scandinavian troupe of dancers, vo-
calists and others. Aside from the
people, who of themselves are Curl
osities, the entertainment is most
praiseworthy. The exhibition of liv-
ing curiosities given in the menagerie
tent is an excellent one, and bristles
with picturesque episodes and living,
acting tableaux. The gorgeous Dur
bar is perhaps the greatest under
taking yet attempted in the line of
great displays and spectacles, and
| the many Partisan sensations, such
as looping-the- gap, of which, by the
way, there are half dozen, are
thrilling in the extreme. The per
| formances of the three herds of ele-
plants in three rings are wonderful
! The entire show is one of excep-
tional merit and well worth a visit
! in fact, it is worth dozen visits
for no one can see it all in less. All
will be here on August II and II and
| exhibit a thousand wonders beneath
waterproof tents, which contains
foot-rest for every seat

for her father, with growing pride
in his pretty daughter, had made
sundry trips to Asheville and return
ed with wonderful creations" Of
white and unwonted shoes and stock
ings; but she did want an education
and to grow up a lady.
The papers are now going the
rounds of the railway officials, with
one favorable recommendation after
another, and it seems as though Nam
MES great wish is to be gratified.
There is one serious obstacle in
the way, though it will probably be
removed. Mamie has been married.
She had lover, Abe Smith, an
open faced, laughing, careless noun
taineer, eight years older than she.
In almost startling contradiction to
his burly swagger and incessant
cigaret smoking is his gentle, caress-
ing voice and his courteous and
kindly manner. To this sturdy noun
taineer the realization that Mamie
was going to leave for years, prob
, ably, and that he might lose her, was
unbearable. He must marry her and
prevent her going. He sent a friend
to town to get marriage license.
Then with the friend for a witness
and a magistrate for the ceremony
he went to Nannie's home one morn
ing when he knew her father was
away and married her Little could
Mamie have to say, for in the alb
sence of her father she knew no law
except that of her impetuous lover
The enraged father was quick to
action He caused the arrest Of
Smith and the man who had procured
the license on the ground that Mamie
was not of legal age. He also began
suit to have the marriage set aside.
| Upon the success of this suit will de-
pend largely whether Mamie is to
have an education. the one great
dream of her life.

MANITOBA'S WHEAT
CROP.

WINNIPEG, Man, July 31.-This
week harvest will become general
over the Canadian northwest. Cut
ting is already well under way in
certain sections. Many authorities
estimate that the wheat crop will ex-
coed hundred million bushels,
against $4,000 last year. The
increase in the crop is due to wet
June, in which were many hot days,
also to the increased acreage, there
being more than 100000 acres under
wheat this year.

The fact that the operators are

held by President Mitchell to indi-
cate their realization that a sym

The great star overhead shone

Strange fancies filled his dulling
brain. Once, a warmer breath swept
by, laden with a spicy odor such as
the old orchard at home breathed in
mellow October. Again, a shadow of
a swallow in flight passed over his
dimmed vision. Then he felt an air
as of springtime about him, scent of
rose and fruitage breathed in his
nostrils, and the air was rippled by
wings of myriad birds
The frail boat trembled and ceas-

SONS raised their colored chalices.
Far out, on every side, in the dim
distance rose huge cliffs like en-

this peaceful isle rested. Through
such a little. little rift within the

magic circle so many had gone down
to death in the hope of beholding.
