The sleighing has disappeared and the
face of winter wears spring smile. Many
of the farmers are looking out of the win
dow wistfully at a vacant lot where the
years woodpile usually stands like a small
mountain of good cheer at this season.
Those who have distant woodlots with in
tervening swamps and marshes, have been
unable to reach them with sled, and this

ITO think of being nearly six days

me, wrathfully, land not to know that
that Russian chap knew herr" 1t was
almost incredible that such a thing
should happen.
The three sat down at table seven
times removed from Warburton's. He
could see only an adorable profile and
the colonel's handsome but care-worn
face. The count sat with his back
turned, In that black evening gown
she was simply beyond the power of
adjectives. What shoulders, what an
incompatible throat Mr.. Roberts
bird grew cold; the bouquet from his
glass tainted and died away. How her
face lighted when she laughed, and
she laughed frequently! What a DELI
cious curve ran from her lips to her
young bosom! But never once did she
look In his direction.
At ten o'clock Miss Annesley rose,
and the count escorted her to the
elevator, returning almost immediate
ly. He and the colonel drew their
heads together. From time to time
the count shrugged, or the colonel
shook his head. Again and again the
Russian dipped the end of his cigar In
to his coffee-cup, which he frequently
replenished.
But for Mr.. Robert the gold had
turned to gilt, the gorgeous to the

from one castle in air to another, and
still another. Mr.. Robert was the

safely assure you. And he didn't mind
in the least that they tumbled down
as rapidly as they builded: only. the
incentive was gone What the colonel
had to say to the count, or the count to
the colonel, was of no interest to him;
so he made an orderly retreat

his sleeplessness that night. Some
beds are hard, even when made of the

His Only Excuse.

"Of course 1 would not have mar
ried another woman if I had known
that my wife would live" the banker
is declared to have asserted. "She
was critically i'll when l started for
San Francisco and 1 never expected
to see her alive again. That is nv
excuse for this illegal marriage"
On the way to Chicago Kiley urged
that an immediate marriage take
place. So ardent and persistent was
the ardent wooer that the travelling
twain left the train at Hammond and
were welded.
For two years Kiley has been a dali
ly visitor at the handsome residence
that he bought for Mrs. Colt on their
return to this city.
Last winter the banker was ser.
iously ill. At that time Mrs. Colt
sued him for $25O,O0O, and while no
breath of that action became public,
it was the result of it that was the
undoing of the aged bigamist. He set
tied with her for $15O.O0O, and her
lawyer, who had not been paid for his
services, sued him and let out the
whole story.

400 or 500 feet, but it could accom-
plish nothing except locate some
mighty fine water, and the wells are
giving entire satisfaction. Another
outfit has arrived and it is stated this
machine is one of the best manufact-
ured. 1t Cne material to go down
5000 feet, and the first effort will be
made near Candy, a small place on
the T. and A. branch of the N, F. &
s. Railway, about eight miles south
west of here. The men behind the
have ample means and
will continue their search for the oil
until they find it. Oil experts who
have visited this county from time to
time have expressed themselves in
most positive terms that a vein runs
thrC immediate section, and
the surface in the neighborhood of
Grandy seems to Indicate a sure
thing" At any rate the first effort
will be made there, and if it fails
other portions of the county where
the outlook has been pronounced fiat
tering, will be visited. The project
will not be abandoned until oil is
found, or every effort to discover it
where it is said it existed has failed.
