The Lady Alice smiled family; then
of a sudden, the blush d~eepened.
"Isll me about him, Tom; what is

Tom was no hand at describing an
other man; but he did his best.

But the Lady Alice appeared no

sweet voice: tom, if l may wish to

1t was long after supper, in fact,
close to the hour of midnight, when
the traveller who had so mystiied mine
host, Joel, and his satellites, slipped
by a side door from the Castle Inn.
The moon shone round and full.
He made straight for the ferry and
crossed, plying the oar himself. In
bali an hours time he was conversing
with a cloaked figure without the cas-
tie gate. They were speaking of the
Lady Alice's brother; but deeper
thoughts we're unspoken, and would
remain so If their destiny willed it.

she wanted some bright genius to tell

asked the question:
Now, children, after the farmer has
made all the butter and cheese he
needs, and uses what milk he wants
for his family, what does he do with
the milk that still remains?"
Dead silence followed for a mo-

NAUCHT COUNTS
BUT LOVE
By MAX p~Er1BERToN
(copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.)

There was a merry company In the
parlor of the Castle Inn e the
stranger entered there.
He appeared to be a man OF some 81
years of age, with n youths face ana a
fine figure of his own; upright as a
drill sergeant, and with such a pair OF
eyes that, as Tom Forsyth, who kept
the ferry, said afterwards. 1t was
lucky for the maids of Brede that the
darkness cloaked them.
Joel, the landlord, looked the travel
er up and down, and his fat face TOOK
wrinkles of merry fat. He breathed In
with satisfaction. Rare was the day
when a stranger in a gold-laced vest
drew rein at his door. Such men, as a
rule, were ferried across the river by
Tom Forsyth and rode or to my lords
castle upon the hill. There was no
other road from Brede but to my
lords house or to the sea.
After the stranger had retired to the
inner parlor, mine host hazarded the
opinion to Tom the ferryman that the
stranger came with some news of my
lords son, whose ruin in the gaming
houses of London had long since ceased
to tickle evil tongues.
To which Tom Forsyth added the
venture that such a visit BODIED no good
to the castle, and that the Lady Alice
should know it forthwith. Herein,
however, he found no supporters; for,
said the wise heads of the company,
"'Tis not tor the likes of us to put
our hands into that KETTLE" and SO, in
lieu of it, they flied the little brown
mugs and listened at the inner parlor
door end reported every circumstance
of the strangers behavior, as they
viewed it through the glass of the in
ner door.
"He be a-talking to hisself-that's
what he be a-doin'-a most unordinary
thing" said Roberts, the grocer.
HE be counting his guineas-a sack
full, noighborsl TITS lucky for he that
he lies at an honest hoGse."
In the silence that followed no one
noticed hat Tom Forsyth had left the
room.
But in the meantime he had crossed
the river, demanded speech with her

daughters being summoned to him
forthwith. When they searched for
her and found her gone, the truth was
told to him.
"She is not here, my lord" they
said: and this night Tom Forsyth
came up from the inn to speak of a
stranger there" And, to their Won
der. this master of the oath and the
madman's anger spoke no word to
them; but, shrinking away as n
robbed suddenly of his reason, hid his
face and cried: "She was all that l
had; God of heaven, forgive!" And
then re had fallen prone and they had
laid him upon the couch, believing him
to be dead.
Thus the Lady Alice found him, and
almost with the touch of her hand my
lord 1oused and recognized her. He
gave Q cry of joy and, raising himself
feebly upon the pillow, put his arm
about her and held her to his heart.
Thou, Alice! they have not taken
thee, them"
81 am here, dear father; they shall
never AXE me from you"
There is another. Who is it stands
there, Alice? Does Harry come to me,
them"
ut is not Harry, father; look again"
"Sir Richard Hardinge-ah, might
have ramed him. Where, then, is my
SOM"
Sir Richard stepped forward and an
swered for them both: ''In my house,
earl, waiting for the message which
will bring him to your side again. All
is we'll with him."
Silence fell upon the room, a silence
restful and satisfying. When the earl
next spoke, it was to the daughter
whom the night had taught him tc
love.
Il have learned my lesson he said
drawing down her face to his W
YEA, in all the world naught count
but love. Let him take thee, child
And thou wilt not shut IN old man ou
from thy heart, little Alice; thereiI
only would he dwell"

AS a starter upon a vast system OF
good roads, Colorado proposes building
a sample road from Denver to Colorado
Springs. This road will be for the pur-
pose of showing the people how and
will be followed by others till there is
a network of good roads covering all
the mountain region of that picturesque
commonwealth. Mr.. Thomas f. Walsh,
the millionaire, is deeply interested in
this movement and viii give it a large

| siderable of his capital. There is moth.
ing that V the general public so
much IS good roads, and this applies
to both money and happiness.

n Colorado man claims t. have per-
fected al invention that will in the
ear future prevent railroad accidents
and entirely do away with steam. Elec-
tro-magnetism is the proposed power
and it will be generated, the inventor
says, from the water power in the
mountain streams. Under his plan of
operations it will be impossible for
trains to collide and the speed may be
increased with safety to 100 miles per

you have been generosity itself,
Sir Richard,'' my lady was saying dor
it was the Lady Alice HERSELF; the
debt 10 you is common for us all; it
will lie heavily upon my fathers
shoulders and upon mine. We a
never repay, do what we will"
Sir Richards eyes shone softer in a
sudden ray OF moonlight that pierced
the hedge. Every word that she spoke
was like music in his ears.

of a mans own seeking, Alice. l told

ton 20 my library. l found the pages
blurred and almost undecipherable;
but l read them, nevertheless. Here
was a fellow creature who had wan
dered upon all roads for want of a
signpost. l began by asking him to
rest "a little while in my house; 1

lures that were to be painted upon
them by a mans will and by his in

to find excitement in the pursuit.
When he old gypsy inclination called

He would come back, l said. Time

need no mans thanks for a little pa
thence and kindness that have been
their own reward. They have given
me this opportunity to speak with her
to whom l may never speak again I'M

The Lady Alice made no reply, but
she turned away her head. Perhaps
there was something in her pretty eyes
which she did not wish him to find.
you are leaving England, Sir Rich
ard?" she asked anew, with her head
still averted from him. The one of her
voice rerved him to speak of it.
"a mans country is lear to him only
when it gives him that which his heart
desires. If i leave England, Alice, it
will be because l no longer may hope
here. If / go, 1t will be because there
is one at Brede who would visit the
sins of the son upon the daughter. l
say it only to ask your forgiveness;
there is a duty which is above love;
let me speak no Ill of your father"
And, as they stood together, believ-
ing this to be the hour of their fare
well, suddenly the alarm bell rang
out from the castle, and almost at the
same instant they heard a mans voice.
MY lord is dying!" he cried to them;
''the Lady Alice has left him!"
"You must go to him." said Richard
quietly. Though his heart was beating
fast, his wit was less sure than my
lady's at such a moment.
Richard, you shall take me-" she
whispered, refusing to release his
hand.
He kissed her gently.

wise, dear one; we will go together"
When they entered the courtyard
they found the servant beside himself.
He walked from a dream and asked

Alice. She pushed him aside; and,
still holding Sir Richards hand, she
led the way to the great bedroom.

From all indications the president
will have about as hard a time adjust
ing the Japanese question in Cali
fornia as he has had in fighting the re-
baters. California members of con
gress are not inclined to brook federal
interference and the japanese govern
ment can only make treaties and carry
on business with the general govern
ment. In the mixup, it seems probable
that the southern members of congress
will sympathize with the attitude OF
California, as any admission on their
mart that the national government has
The right to say what school laws and
regulations shall be would mean an en-
tire change of front on the ace ques-
ton in the south. 1t would mean that
the national government has the right
to say whether the colored people and
the white people of the south shall be
separated in the public schools of Dixie.
President Roosevelt has had more per
picking questions to adjust than any
other president, and he has adjusted
them to the entire satisfaction of the
entire people. In the Japanese trouble
he will find a way that will be just and
satisfactory.
