Daw Simpleton drew his horse up
before the door Of a small mountain
cabin, one of the many nesting among
the foothills Of the Cunberlands.
There was the CLINT of brown, blue
and pink-Kentucky Garrettson brown

she stood in the doorway.
"Howdy, Daw. Come in
The man glanced down at his right
hand lying on his knee, and shook his
head.
"What's up? Have you and daddy
been scrapping?"
She came out and leaned on the
gate, evidently undisturbed.
Il am going away, Ken, and want

you love the dear old mountains as
much as l do l don't see how you
can leave them-I couldn't. wouldn't
even try, for know the home-sickness
to see them again would xii me-"
Daw Simpleton's whole attitude
changed in a moment. His upright
figure dropped, and the lips under the
black mustache, that we're usually
close set and resolute, trembled. His
eyes gazed wistfullly over the Wild,
rugged scenery for 8 moment then
came quickly back to the girls face.

but you are dearer than everything

to hit back when I have been hurt.

you hate me?"
"Ken, don't you know that noun
taineer's hate and love are always
too deep to be put aside? My love has
made me do many things" he continu

father sent you away to school took
an oath that when you came back you
would not find the untaught lout you

THE GIRL WHO WOULD I'M
PROVE.
Must make up her mind to THINK
a little less about herself and a lit
tie more about the comforts OF otn-
ers.
To be less quick of speech and
more certain in actions than she mas

She must resolve not to let the
wicked little demon Of envy enter
her heart and make her bitter and

To consider those of her own house

THE CoNQUEROR.

Ne looked at me with pleading eyes,
His ardent suit he pressed;
My gentle NO he would not hear,
Nor let the subject rest.
He asked me once again and then
Besought me oer and o'er,
Nor yet despaired, although my ''No
Was firmer than before.
And still he pleaded urgently,
With mien of one who wins;
sighed and answered "Yes,"-and bought
His book of safety pins.

a matter OF such importance as it is

thing about Spltzbergen, that desert
arctic island 500 miles north of the
North cape OF Norway and within 700
miles OF the north pole; frost desolat-
ed land, where the grass grows longer
than the trees and huge glaciers in the
ice brldged valleys amid the jagged
mountains move majestlcally down In
to tue sea until mighty ioebergs,
monstrous birth, break Off and rise
to the surfGce amid thunderous reports
once the only sound that broke the
profound SILENCE of those awful soli-
tudes SpitzteIgen is the only spot OF
earth that is positively known as No
Mans land. 1t Is the possession Of
no country and has nothing even re-
sembling a specified government. The
island seems likely to remain No
Mans Land, though 1t is said that an
effort has been made by Norway to
establish some sort of protectorate over
it.--National Magazine.
