The Daily Short Story

How plainly he could recall the
tear-stained face of his heart brok.

message to him and the sad little
face that tried to smile and bid
him hope.
He arose, went to the window

ing to the house, also noted the
quick bark and his excited manner.
He opened the door, the intelligent
animal whined at his feet, then
ran barking to the arc.
Norman fastened after him and
saw a woman crawling toward the
house, her long black tresses hung
In frozen masses about her face,
garments tattered and clin8ing to
her, hands torn and bleeding. He
lifted the young form %into his
strong arms, turned the fiower-like
face and gaZed into the wild blue
eyes. He gave a cry Of anguish.
Could this be his love.
"Olga!" he cried, straining her
to his heart and kissing the pale
lips. Carrying her into the house
he warmed her little hands, poured
brandy between the once rosy lips,
called her to speak to hint that
loved her. Il

stretch between Vancouver and
Portland, which will be held back
several months because of the
bridges spanning the Columbia and
Willamette rivers.
Fred Wright, who was arrested
at Dawson and confessed to steal
ing gold taken from the mail sacks
on the steamer Seattle, which was
recovered at the bottom of the riv-
er, was born and raised in Seattle.
He has a mother there.
International boundary surveyors
who have been dehneating the AL
askan-C Canadian line since June 13,
have finished for the summer and
returned to Dawson. The arrivals
corroborate the report that the new
line gives the Americans from 100
to 1,dJO feet greater slice than the
original survey by Ogilvie.

. looked into the brown ones, bent
so closely over hers. A weary sigh
escaped her as she nestled to him.
Can you tell me, little one, why
/ find you thus?" A wild look again
shone from her eyes as she sprang
from his arms, wringing her hands,
crying: my father. the creek, he is
dying!"
Calling his mother to Olga's aid
he hurried in search of the Judge,
found him crawling about calling to
his daughter When carried into
the house he relapsed into uncon-
seriousness, and for several days
lowered between life and death.
During his illness Martha Yewell
was continually by his bedside. 1t
was her voice that quoted his wild
rawlings. Sitting by him, a prayer in
her heart that he may live, she
hears sigh, turning to him sees
him holding out his hand. He
smiles and whispers, Martial"
In that look, one word, Martha
Yewell reads what her heart has
hungered for all these years.
The next few dadys brought roses
to the cheeks of Olga, restoring the
judges health, and also gave the
anxious lovers blessings and con-
sent to an early wedding. In the
meantime another pair of lovers
were on the point of being made
happy. Martha Yewell had allowed
the judge to persuade her, as all
women do, if they desire it, that
time had not robbed her of her
beauty or youth, and indeed she
seemed to have grown young again.

EUROPE KNOCKS CUBA s SMOKES
Before and After the Tobacco

Before and After the Tobacco
LONDON, Sept. 2O.-Mlle. Nico-
tine, of Cuba, is losing her reputa-
ton in Europe, because, it Is claim
ed, her character has undergone a
remarkable change. Before the
American tobacco trust became a
factor in the manufacture Of cigars
one could smoke a clear Havana
and find consolation therein. But
the advent of cheap labor and trust
methods in the Indies, it is charged
has done away with the masters
who formerly worked wonders by
judicious blending, and the result
Is the Havana of today, more eX-
pensive than ever, is a bitter dis
appointment.
Had Kipling held Havana of
today between his teeth, he never
could have written:
"A woman is only a woman,

Trust, as Europe Sees 1t

o Trust, as Europe Sees 1t
But good cigars a smoke"
Following the war with Spain
and the introduction of American
labor into the islands, the cigars
have steadily deteriorated, and in
stead of the dreamy, delicate-flav-
ored, nsrve-soothing smokes of by
gone days, cigars are bitter, and
the aroma does not carry the
smokers thought to paradise.
To make matters worse, Cuba
has learned much since '98 and as
the quality has decreased, the
prices have gone up from Is to 80
cents.
To offset this, German, Manila,
Sumatra and lBorneo cigars are
forging to the front, and efforts
are being made to grow tobacco
in places where it has never been
cultivated. Ireland, for instance.

CONCERNING THE KICKER

This is the man who kicks-kicks without cause to
kick.
No matter what happens he the fault in it. 1t
is always either too early too loe at the wrong
tme it is the worst thing that could possibly have
happened, else the who did it rascal If
he wasn't rascal, he at least wretchedy incom-
petent. No matter what is said, he where it
nsncere because it said too mucl cunning because
it said too little. Whatever is done, it is just about
unsatisfactory it possibly be.
The house is too warm, else it is too cold. If the
window is open it ought to be closed if it happens to
be closed he wonders why people prefer to be smotered
His meals cooked to suit him; he did like
the way the house built and nobody knows how to
bring up children any
He fairly reves in the wreched way in which the
Office is conducted The Office boy is lazy; the book
keeper is dodderng old ass; the chief clerk is an
ignoramus; and he wonders who it that died and
left things in such shape that the boss got his
position of authority The bank is rotten. He knows
it is. The minister is hypocrite Besides, he doesn t
like the and the music is awful They don't
the church right anyway He wishes to heaven he could
find decent grocer The weather is abominabe. The
city government is eXtravagant and corrupt The state
officials AS for the national government

Nothing is right; everything is wrong.
