Lavender Creighton's
 Lovers
By OLIVIA B. sTROHM

There, in the corner, his pallid face ehining out of the gloom, lay Winslow, one shoulder swathed in white, his dress of nankeen stained with blood and travel. And at sight of him thus Lavender gave a scream that was half . sob. In that moment her heart went out to him with all the affectionate yearning of an earliest fancy Half to herself she breathed his name and moved impulsively to enter. But Con- Eaga barred the way. Are you sure of welcome? believe he came to see" He paused and she stood silent.
 Her eyes dropped before his, wherein wore blended mocking triumph and evil suggestion. Here, then, was the proof with which this man had threatened to confront her. Proof that Windows reasons for his failure to see her-the story of his detention at St. Louis were cheat-alie. He had been, instead, engaged in dishonorable tryst swith girl whose fathers blood now aastained his hand. It was not alone that sShs suffered through jealousy and wounded pride: her faith in true and loyal knight was shattered. She turned sick and giddy as her idol fell.
 The voice of Gonzaga recalled her; ahe shrank from the pity in it.
 Come away, Miss Creighton. Twill take you home"
 U There was proprietary tenderness Aan his tone which she resented. It ansrved her-roused her pride. T prefer to wait for my brother" she said, in a leaden, weary tone, then, turning aim lessly away: we might walk little until he returns" she said.
 Gonzaga followed, a look of cruel sat 1sfaction on his handsome face.
 For some time they walked in silence through the random street of the set clement, with the worm trail of the fence on either hand. Ghostly and quiet were the cabins, fragrant the jim son weed everywhere, moist and cool the kisses of the night wind.
 Gradually her scattered senses re- turned. Let us go back to the tav- ern," she said Gerald may be there by this time"
 Her voice was steady. her manner self possessed, and the man could not mock her with sympathy, dared not press his advantage.

THE OLD MAN ON R. F. D,

I've been livin' way back country
For three score or more years,
And I've had my share of pleasures
Long with some slghs and tears;
But Of all the things ever
In my life laid out to see,
There's been none that's surprised me
Like the recent r. f. d.
Neighbor Jones has talked it over
Years ago; he says, "You see
Others may enjoy such comforts,
But it's not for you and me.
1t may be our grandchildren,
Or perhaps our children, too,
Will exist in rural mail days
When our time of life is through"
But it's come in all it's glory
Really come with us to stay.
Ny! we cour try folks felt honored
And excited that first day
When we saw the carrier drive up,
With brand new grand concern,
Right in front our humble doorways-
But we had some things to learn
Bout the flag 'tached to our mail box,
When to have it up or down;
For the signal m1st be right way
When the carrier comes around;
Bout the place to put the pennies
When our stamp supply is done
/ don't doubt but our maneuvers
Caused the mail boy inward fun.
Now we buy our winter groceries
In the fall, and never go
To the city in cold weather
LESS we have sleighin' snow.
We can feel just real cOntented
Through the widest wintry gale
Me an Marthy when the days done,
An we get our evenin' mail.
Country life's the purest, truest,
Though old fashioned-rather tame!
| claim it's Gods own blessin'
That the rural mail route came;
For He loves His humble children,
In the country though they be,
So He sends them their millennium
In the foIm of r. +. d.

ANARCHIST LEADER DEAD
ERYsIPELAs ENDS THE CAREER
OF HERR MOST.
Driven from Europe Because Of His
Violent Utterances-Arrested
Many Times in America.

Cincinnati, March 19.-Herr Johann
Most, the anarchist, died in this city
of erysipelas. Herr Most was delirious
most of the time during his last few
days illness, suffering greatly, but oc-
casionally repeating parts of his most
famous speeches, using the German
language, with which he was naturally
most familiar. The body of Herr Most
will be cremated at the Cincinnati Gre
matory next Tuesday. Most was
driven out of Europe because of his
anarchistic agitations, and came to
this country following term of 10
months In prison in London. In
New York Most served several terms
in Jail. Finally, on April 26, 1885,
he addressed a massmeeting urging
workmen to arm themselves and pre-
pare for battle. He was sentenced to
a year in prison and served his term.
During his career Most visited many
of the larger cities of the country to
make anarchistic speeches and was ar
rested many times. His last notable
arrest was in September, 1901, when
he was convicted for publishing an ar
ticle in his newspaper, Die Freiheit,
declaring it no crime to kill a ruler.
The article appeared the day after
President Mckinley was shot at Buff
falo For this article he served two
months in Jail.
