the fire was beginning to glow DULY in
his eye. Her whole being called him.
And still she stood there before him,
saying nothing, leaning slightly toward
him, her red lips half parted. her eyes
fixed almost wistfully on his face.

last. The voice was not his own. 60
away! Go awayv'
Suddenly she swayed to him.
'Oh, Harry, Harry she whispered
must 1 tell you? Don't you seeY'
The flood broke through him. He
seized her hungrily. He crushed her to
him until she gasped; he pressed his
lips against hers until she all but cried
out with pain of it; he ran his great
brown hands blindly through her hair
until it came down about them both in
a cloud Of spun light.
"Tell me!' he whispered. Tell mep'

is it,"

savagely.
She drew herself from him with gen.
tie dignity.
81 am not worthy to say it." she said
soberly, "but l love you with all my
heart and SOUL"
Then for the first and only time in his
life Thorpe fell to weeping, while She
understanding, stood by and comforted
him.
The few moments of Thorpe's tears
eased the emotional strain under which
perhaps unconsciously he had been la
boring for nearly a year past. The
tenseness of his nerves relaxed. He sa-
vored deliberately the joy of luxuri-
GUS couch, rich hangings, polished floor,
subdued light, warmed atmosphere. He
watched with soul deep gratitude the
soft girlish curves of Hildas body, the
poise of her flower head, the piquant,
half wistful, half childish set Of her
red lips, the clear starlike glimmer of
her dusky eyes. 1t was all near to him

"Then he renounced all his most val

Sounds like medieval story" said
he, with unconscious humor.

CHAPTER XXXVI.

F~1URELY it is useless to follow
N the sequel in detail. to tell how
lO Hilda persuaded Thorpe to take
- her money. To a woman such
as she this was not very difficult task
in the long run-a few scruples of
pride; that was all.
II hate to do it," he said. ct doesn't
look right"
"You must" she insisted. II will not

not marry you until you have made
your success"
''That is right" said Thorpe heartily.
well. then, are you going to be so
selfish as to keep me waiting while you
make an entirely new start, when a
little help on my part will bring your
plans to completion"
She saw the shadow Of assent in his
eyes.
How much do you needT'' she asked
swiftly.
II must take up the notes." he ex-
planned. 81 must pay the men. 1 may
need something on the stock market If
I go in on this thing I'm going in for
keeps. I'll get after those fellows who
have been swindling Wallace. Say
100000"
why, it's nothing!' she cried.
I'm glad you think So" he replied
grimly.
She ran to her dainty escritoire,
where she scrubbed eagerly for few
moments.
There" she cried, her eyes shining
there is my check book all signed in
blank. And I'll see that the money is
there"
So it was that Hilda Farrand gave
her lover confidence, brought him out
from his fanaticism, launched him
afresh into the current of events He
remained in Chicago all that summer,
giving orders that all work at the vii
lage of Carpenter should cease. With
his affairs that summer we have little
to do. His common sense treatment of
the stock market, by which a policy of
Quiescence following an outright buy
ing of the stock which he had previous
~ held on margins. retrieved the losses
already sustained and finally put both
partners ON a firm financial footing.
That is another story. So. too, is his
reconciliation with an understanding of
his sister. 1t came about through Hill
da, of course. Perhaps in the inscruta-
BILE way of Providence the estrange-
ment was OF benefit. even necessary,
for it had thrown him entirely within
himself during his militant years.
Let us rather look to the end of the
summer. 1t now became question of
reopening the camps. Thorpe wrote to
Shearer and Railway, whom he had re-
| tanned, that he would arrive on Satur-
day noon, and suggested that the two
begin to look about for men. Friday,
himself. Wallace Carpenter, Elizabeth
| Carpenter, Morton, Helen Thorpe and
Hilda Farrand boarded the north bound
| train.

he holds convincingly that only by
war Is nation reused out Of perilous
lethargy. He does not take a pessi-
mistic view of England, but he is sure
that London thinks far too much of
its pleasures and its comforts, and far
too little of its duties and RESPONSE
bilities. Outside London Is the real
England, the real physical and warrior
England, but 1t Is In the colonies more
than in the shires Of England, that he

perial destiny.
A quiet, slow speaking, genial-soul-
ed man, clean shaven and high brow

NOR smiling at the corners. A man
below the middle height, with light
hair changing early to gray, and a
countenance bitten and scared by the
winds and suns Of the round globe.
A wise and quiet man, able to keep
his own counsel and able to shape his
own destiny and get his own ends
with few words. The friend Of princes
and ambassadors, one who has played
a strong part in recent European d.

No NEED TO BURN THEM.-A South
Carolina Confederate veteran, Major
w. H. Manning, is in favor Of the
burning Of all Of the old Confederate
flags lately returned to this state by
the war department, says the Savannah
News. We believe that the over
whelming majority of the veterans and
their wives and sons and daughters
will not agree with Major Manning. 1t
is true that the flags were captured
and held by the enemy" but no dis
grace Is attached to their loss by their
original owners. They were defended
while 1t was in human power to de-
fend them. They are relics Of one Of
the most glorious struggles in the his
tory of the world. They are old and
tattered and musty; their colors are
faded Of age, and some Of them bear
the discolorations of blood. But they
are unstained Of dishonor. AS remind
ers Of the great and noble sacrifices
Of their followers, they should, and no
doubt will, be treasured as long as IT
is possible to make their threads hold
together.

Wards SLOW TRAIN SToRY.-It Is
told in Harper's Weekly that Artemus
Ward once took a journey on little
"One- horse" railroad line in the Mid

from station to station at snail's pace
for half a day, Ward beckoned to the
conductor as he passed through the
car.

"it would be safer to take the cow
catcher off the engine and hitch 1t to
the end Of the rear car

said Ward, "and I don't see what's
to prevent one Of them cows out there
from coming into the car and biting
the passengers"

TON REED In SEARCH OF A COLLAR
Among the prominent men Of New
England there was none, perhaps, who
wore a larger collar than Tom Reed
One hot day in the summer Of 1901
Reed was in Portsmouth, and, having
to wait over for a train. he decided to
make an impromptu toilet, changing
his collar. etc. So he hied himself to
the nearest haberdasher's and began a
general survey Of the collars displayed
in the store.
Waited on, sir" queried one Of the
clerks.
mot yet" responded Reed, and then
added, Il would like collar"
What size?" piped the clerk.
"Size 90" answered Reed.
I'VE don't keep collars so large, but
think you may be accommodated al

Reed found the store around the
corner to be a harness shop.-Bostor

A LOGICAL cADl.
As a Wrong Had Been Done, Some
body Had to Suffer.

booy mao 70 SuHeT'
Did you ever hear Of the robber
who tried to enter a second story
window in Cairo and broke his leg?
Well, the robber went to the cadi
and complained about it. He said the
mans window was badly made or he
wouldn't have fallen out, and so he
wanted Justice. The cadi said that
was reasonable, and he summoned the
owner Of the house. The owner con-
fessed the house was poorly built,
but claimed that the carpenter was
to blame, not he. This struck the
cadi as sound logic, and he sent for
the carpenter. 1.-The charge Is, alas,
too true" said the carpenter, "but the
masonry was at fault, and I couldn't
fit a good window" So the cadi, i'm
pressed with the reasonableness of
the argument, sent for the mason.
The man pleaded guilty, but explained
that q pretty girl in blue gown had
passed the building while he was at
work and that his attention had been
diverted from his duty. The cadi
thereupon demanded that the Girl be
brought before him. "It Is true" she
said that I am pretty, but that is
no fault of mine. II my gown at
tracted the mason the dyer should he
punished and not l." "Quite true y
said the cadi "Send for the dyer
The dyer was brought to the bar and
pleaded guilty.
That settled 1t. The cadi told the
robber to take the guilty wretch to
his house and hang him from the
doorsill, and the people rejoiced that
justice had been done. But pretty
soon the crowd returned to the cadfs
court. complaining that the dyer was
too long to be properly hanged from
his doorsill. "Oh, WELL" said the
cadi, who by that time was getting
tired OF the business, "go and find a
short dyer and hang him. Some
body's got to suffer"

AN ABSENT MINDED MANA group
or sailors on coastwise vessels were
gathered on an East river pier re-
Gently and got to spinning yarns, as
sailors usually do when they are to-
gether long.
"The absent -mindedest man l ev'i
hearn tell of used to live down In
Maine" said one old tar.
He was so blamed absent minded
that he used to fergit his name. The
pepul OF the town waz on to him all
right and had lots Of fun with him.
"One day he went to the postoffice
and asked IL there was emmy mail for
hisn folks. What's your manner ask
ed the postmaster. Old Hall-his name
was Hall-was stuck. He scratched
his head, but it was no use and started
to 20 home. Just outside the door
he met an old friend, who said: GOOD
afternoon. Mr.. Hall The old man
rushed pellmell into the postofhce
singing out at the top Of his voice
Hall! Hall! That's my name! Got any
mail fer the Halls?
"Old Hall and his wife were just
starting out to take drive one day
and they forgot the hitching rope
Old Hall said he'd fetch 1t, so he went
to the barn. He had been gone
deuce Of a while, so his wife thought
when he came around the corner OF
the house toting an old sawhorse. His
wife got the rope.
THAT old fellow did all kinds OF
queer things. He'd just as likely grab
his wife's frying pan when he was 60
ing to milk the COW as the milk pail
His wife hit the nail on the head when
she said: I never can tell, when
send Jim for a needle that he won't
show up with a pickax.'
