Yes" said Nell, and was too much
occupied to notice the delight with
which Anne had received the news.
Who is it. tell me at once?"
Its Jack Hamilton
The hand that Anne had raised TO
place around her sisters neck fell back
lpon her lap. She turned and stared
stonily through the window, seeing
nothing, only conscious of a numb sem
sation as though her heart were freez-
:ng. And Nell, gaining courage now she
had made the great avowal, continued
her story of happiness.
Fl hasn't asked me yet. but 1 think
he will, I've liked him ever 50 much for
q long time, but I thought, somehow,
that was you he came to see."
There was no reply from her sister.
Only her hand crept forward again In
the darkness and drew Nell down, until

me in Barker's Lane. He said he was
coming to see us tonight and had some

years old" she added. wistfully, and l
may be mistaken. Do you think it so,
Anne. and do you think l ought to sdy
Yes to him?"
Then for an instant a picture dashed
before Anne's eyes. The picture of a.
woman who lay dying, and who, with
her last breath. conf1ded her younger
daughter to the care of the elder one.
"Since you owe him." she said quietly,
there is no reason why you should not
make him very happy, Nell. for 1 think
he deserves it,"
And in this way, quietly and unosten-
%tatiously, Anne made the great renun-
citation Of her life.
During the evening the front door bell
rang. NelPs arms frightened suddenly
round her sister, she quivered for an in
slant, n then was still. They heard
the housemaid passing along the hall.
Come" said Sister Anne, 'let US go
to the drawing ROOM"
Ten minutes later she was back in
her former place by the window. She
had made some trifling excuse and
left them to their happiness.
In that ten minutes the freight had
sunk into a smouldering lethargy with
only an occasional leap and sparkle.
As Anne crossed the room and en-

fire had smouldered away. Anne sat
alone by the window, and the noon

ITS own glory. Jack advanced upon
tlptoe without knowing Why he did so.
Nell was aroused from her reflections
i've minutes later by hearing the front
door closed. She sprang to her feet,
ran to n window, pulled aside a cor
ner of the blind. The sudden suspicion
that had come into her mind was veri-
fled. Jack Hamilton was walking slow
ly down the steps with his head bent
and his arms swinging listlessly.
She was out of the room and after

at sound of her footsteps.

A Fire in Torrid Zone.

~ FlFe IN lOTFlQ ZOne.
Crossing the equator is generally ac-
complishcd with weather conditions
providing all the neat necessary or de-
sired without having a deck warped
out of all shape by a fire raging in the
hold. But Captain Robert Bruce and
his Twenty-Five men on the four-mast-
ed steel ship, Pyrenees had the main
promenade SO warm when they crossed
the line on November 6, 1901, that ever
Neptune refused to come aboard. Every
hatch had been battened down, and as
the decking grew hotter and hotter n
warped more and more, there was ev-
cry reason to expect that the next
crate explosion.
But here again it would have been
taking long chances to start out in
boats. Moreover, the captain was lot
named Robert Bruce for nothing; he
was n fighter from the drop of the hat,
and one who was more than willing
to take a chance. Accordingly the YES
sci was headed for Pitcairn island,
while the members of the crew were
advised 10 keep themselves and the
deck cool. But, although Pitcairn was
reached, it was found to be utterly i'm
possible to effect a landing. This was
not comforting, i'm view of the fact that
Manga Reva, three hundred miles
away, was the nearest point where a
landing was certain, and the possibility
OIL pelhg picked up was not promiS-
ing.
Robert Bruce lost no time in vain re-
grets; he just went at it again, like
the spider. The vessel was rounded
and away they went. trusting in provi-
dence and keeping the rigging and the
decks wet. But they hadn't much of
a margin, for when Manga Reva was
reached. the fire had worked through
in spite of the good fight to keep it
under, and when the Pyrenees hit the
beach ON which they beached her, she
was Il mass of flames. The plucky cap

Accordingly, the steamer was worked
in as close to the cape as time per-
mitted, and when la2d was about eight
cen miles distant, everybody took to the
BOATS. The blaze soon justified all eX-
pectations, and among them the ex-
pectation that it would serve to sum-
mon assistance. The steamer City of
Macon saw it. hurried to the rescue,
and welcomed the occupants of the
boats before they had suffered my

The Sun would call the attention
of the Board of County Commission
ers to the fact that the county bridge
across the North Platte river at this
place is badly in need of painting
and tightening up. This bridge is
used almost constantly, night and
day and the passage of heavily loaded
teams over it cores of times a day
is a source of constant wear and tear
on it. 1t ought to he frightened up
at least once Il year. In fact it
should be lowered at least four feet
and a foot-way built on one side for
pedestrians. AS it is now it is a con
slant to the lives of women
and children, who are compelled to
use the wagon way in going to and
fro. Some day there will be some
one killed or badly injured by being
run over, and then the Commissioners
will make the proper provision for the
safety of life SO long neglected.

American Safety Devices.

In spite of the fact hat the United
States lead the world in the invention
of safety devices it has been shown
hat we stand first in the record of
accidents, The proportion OF miners
killed here is nearly three times as
great as in France and about double
that In other European countries. For
every five men killed by accident in
this country there are only three in
all the nations of Europe combined
It is claimed that with all our quick
ness in %inventing the things that mai
for safety we are slow to adopt then
and that many American inventions o.
this kind find their first recognition
in Europe.-Hartford, Conn, Times.

The work of State Veterinarian

The work of State Veterinarian
Seabury in this part of the country
for the time he has been at work here
cleaning out CHAMBERS among horses,
has been of the most satisfactory
character. The job of the State vet
erinarian is sinecure. 1t requires
nerve and single-mindedness in the
performan ce of duty, for people will
shirk the duty of bringing in a dis
eased horse and in such case they
have to be prevailed upon by the law
1t is a very hard matter to keep the
good will of the people on your side
when it comes to the matter of bust
ness with the State veterinarian
who is an officer of the law and whose
duty it is to perform the destruction
of glandered horses for the state. DIR.
Seabury is worthy of all the support
and assistance that the people of this
