ut doesn't look so far to land,'' said
Nettie idly.
''That's not relevant" objected Vic
tor Turner. II ask you if you will do
me the honor of marrying me, and
you comment on the apparent nearness
of the shore"
Cannot you see," she cried passions
ately, that do not want to answer
that question:
Il don't see why. If it isn't No. why
not say 'Yes?'" he pleaded earnestly,
"We've been friends. companions, for
a long time, Nettie."
The girl looked at him squarely, then
dropped her eyes. Cant you see that
it hurts me to refuse? Perhaps-I'm
not sure that it's Yes yet, but NO
does not seem to fit either"
We've gone all over this ground be-
FORE" he said impatiently. "Please, if
there's no one else"-
'You must remember, Victor, that all
my life have been very, very happy
with father, and it is not easy to give

one else, even
Given me-" he said resignedly Cali
right. I'll wait until you're sure, grille
I'll work hard and-and forget you
just little bit-for awhile"
Nettie turned to him with eyes full
Of tenderness. Il am sorry, but some
how I cannot bring myself to say Yes
I'm glad-yes, really glad-you don't
urge me, and perhaps it will work out
all right in the end
''It will, sweetheart" he said tender
ly, and he skillfully turned the CONVEX
satiOn.
They were visiting Window light, off
the shore from the resort where they
were stopping, and Turner had thought
this a good opportunity to speak the
love that was in his heart 1t was
shock to realize that he must wait
longer. He had felt of late that she
cared for him.
It was with a heavy heart that he
rowed across the three mile stretch Of

inlet. He had hoped that they would
come back engaged Instead, she sat
in the stern. listless and downcast,
while he put all of his strength into
his rowing in the vain hope of wearing
down the dull ache at his heart.
He tried not to show his disappoint-
ment when they met in the evening.
but something had come between them.
and, try as they would, neither could
re-establish the friendship on the old
familiar footing. Victor had made his
cast and lost.
At the end Of the second day the
situation had become so unpleasant
that Nettie was talking Of cutting
short her stay and finishing the sum-
mer at the mountains. Victor knew
her fondness for the shore, and before
she fully determined upon the step he
announced that he was unexpectedly
called back to town the following day
It was with mingled relief and dis
may that Nettie heard the announce
ment, and, filed with desire to be
alone, she went down to the beach and
put out in the little sliff she handled
as eXpertly as any Of the fishermen.
Almost before she knew it she was
under the shadow of Window light.
and a sudden impulse led her to stop
at the little landing and visit again the
familiar spot
Oddly enough, the keeper did not
come to greet her, and she made her
way curiously to the open door. The
little dog which kept the solitary man
company ran whining to meet her, and
she followed him into the combined
kitchen and living room.
There in his comfortable chair sat the
keeper, apparently asleep, but he did
not awake even when the dog parked
and with a chill at her heart Nettie
went forward.
Before she reached him she knew
that his lonely vigil was ended and
that death had called him away. She
made sure that he was dead, Their
burned and sped toward the dock tt
Isummon assistance.
With a cry, she saw her skiff floating
on the waters beyond the inlet carried
out by the ebbing tide, and realized
that she was alone on the reef with {
dead man.
The dusk was falling, and she sat OF
the steps, not daring to enter, and vain
" scanned the inlet for the sight of {
boat.
i There was not sail in sight One o.

was effective, and with a sinking heart
she prepared to spend the night on tne
reef.
The growing dusk reminded her OF
the light, and running through the
room, she sped up the circular stair
way of the tower The lamps were
trimmed and filed. and the keeper had
shown her how they were lighted.
There was the glow of match, and
the broad beams shot through the dusk.
CRY, tired and afraid. Then suddenly
an idea came to her, and she sprang to
her feet.
On the hotel piazza they were COM
menting on the oddness Of the light
The beacon was fixed light, yet it
was Pickering in the most unexpected
fashion They were still talking about
it when Victor, roaming the piazzas in
the hope of having his last evening
with Nettie, drew near one of the
groups.
Looks like Morse" he said as he
watched the flashing light for mo-
ment. wonder if the old man is in
trouble
'Can you read it?' asked some one
eagerly.
Sure he laughed. ''That was a t.
then ""
There was a pause, then he began
slowly to spell, "V-i-c"-a stop
"H-e-l-p."
''Must mean you,' laughed one Of
the men.
''It does" he said quietly. Miss Os-
good is in some sort of trouble over
there and is calling for help"
Five minutes later he was on the
beach, light in his hand and another
burning at his feet. The guests stood
about him as the light rose and fell,
first on one side and then on the other,
until, with a THANK God, she SEES"
he flung the spluttering light into the
surf and sDrang into the waiting boat,
The Pickering had stopped now, and
the crowd, straining it's eyes to follow
the progress of the boat, speculated
upon the cause of the trouble and Won
dered how Nettie had thought to use
Morse.
To Victor in the boat there was only
the thought that the woman he loved
had called him, and he was the first to
spring ashore and dash up the stair
way.
The others had gone no farther than
the dead man when he reappeared with
the unconscious form in his arms.
"Some Of you row us back" he said.
Awhile the rest stay here until relief
comes. We will send right back
And he led the way to the boat.
They were nearly home before Nettie,
opened her eyes. "You did see," she
whispered. IT knew you would. 1 re
membered you once told me that you
could run a telegraph Office. I studied
it, too, just for fun in school, but it
saved me from going crazy tonight
II wish 1 could always be near when
you CALL" he whispered, and he had
to lean closer to catch the whispered:
''You may if you still want to. FIN
sure now"

Black Horses Fade.

"The reason you see so few black
horses is because people let them
fade,'' said horse lover. ''You may
laugh, but horse fades just as the
carpet or your own hair fades in the
bright sun. You know how the daz.
zling sun at the beach will bleach your
hair in a short time. Well, if you keep
a horse in the sun constantly the same
thing happens to him, and his coat
changes in color Of course you
wouldn't notice it so much in bay Or
chestnut horse but it is very notice
able in a black horse. His coat first
seems to change into a rusty black
and then changes into reddish tint.
I have two black horses, and their
coats are like jet, but l never let them
stand in the sun | often hitch them
across the road from where l want to
get out so as to keep them in the
shade. Consequently they haven't fad
ed a mite and are as coal black as
when I purchased them. New York

The display of live stock is to be so

Professor Herbert W. Munford of
Illinois is quoted in the following short
but pithy comment on the Internation-

1T is at the Intern ational that breed
ers and buyers mingle to mutual ad-
vantage. The breeder becomes better
informed as to approved markettypes,
and thus the International becomes a
potent factor in giving direction to the
breeders efforts toward live stock i'm

Eight Years.

st. Paul-Eight years imprison-
ment in the state prison at Saltwater
was the sentence imposed by Judge
Page Morris in the United States dis
trict court on Thomas B. Clement, the
Faribault banker convicted on twenty
four counts OF misapplying the banks
funds and of making false entries in
the books and in reports to the con-
troller of the currency.
The sentence imposed was eight
years imprisonment on each of the
,twenty-four counts, making total of
1872 years, but the court ordered that
the sentence under the counts be served
cOncurrently.
When Judge Morris asked the de-
PENDANT if he had anything to say why
sentence should not be imposed he an

pay them when they want it.

the subject, which will be sur
prising to many friends of recla.
nation. 1t says in a recent issue:
The expected seems about to
happen. When the federal gov
eminent undertook to provide
irrigation in the arid regions,
applying thereto the proceeds of
the sale of public lands, it was
expected by many who had fore
sight that finally the genera
fund in the United States treas
ury would be resorted to in order
to complete the work that would
be undertaken
The scheme is nearing tina
point; 1t was intended that the
settlers on the irrigated Ian,
should pay back to the govern
ment, in annual install nents,
the cost of the reclamation.
That would make a revolving
fund of the original capital, and
would transfer it from complet-
ed to ntw projects. A large
number of costly irrigation
plants have been put under way,
but none has yet returned a dol
lar to the new fund. One reason
appears to he that the govern
M mt irrigation plants cost St
much pr acre OF land to be
served that settlers are shy
about assuming the burden OF
debt.
AS soon as the irrigated home
stead is occupied the debt of the
government begins to run on les
entire acreage. Ii the limit OF
area is 80 acres, the settler has
to pay $240 for water the first
year, though he will be doing
we'll if he put up his buildings,
fence his land, provide teams
and feed for them, get tools and
implements. and get 20 acres i'll
crop. He will then be us,ns
water on 20 acres at a cost of$12
per /, ere. The terms and condi-
tions are too hard for the men
who seek settlement OH land.
Those who have on hand the
amount of capital required to
meet the conditions do not wish
to live on land.
Another objection is that the
limit of holdings is too small.
A farmer must be a man Of
family. AS his children reach
maturity he wants some land to
divide among them. A home
stead of 80 acres will not serve
that purpose
The law seems to have beer.
