WHEN THE
 GIRL TOLD
By ELLEN VAN STONE.

The veranda conclaye was in eo, sion, and the talk had turned on tbo question of whether or not wornon ever is justified in declaring be. love
 She easily may be justified I hink," said stately Miss billy. fftr five and handsome, with gray curls and rosy checks and lips that sin smiled bewitchingly, but she nevar is wise to do so. I know of a sad caso Of the kind
 "A girl loved a man, but was mi sure-perhaps he was not sure whether or not he loved her in return They were splendid friends. and bis tender, considerate manner miqbt have meant almost anything. The pirl loved him so well that the uncertainty was torture, only comforted bq tbo knowledge that he had no other girl friend, let alone lover, to share the questionable devotion 70 her This vent on for some years.
 At last she fell ill Tic doctor in fact. told her that she had no chance of recovery. She was not altogether sorry since the man never had spok. en. By and by came the thought that now. with death so near she could settle the problem. It would be m immodesty to speak of love now.
 So she sent for the man. who sea. ing her so weak and helpless. forgot conyentionality. remembered only ten. 1erness and affection, and bent to kiss her. Then, poor thing. she was sure it had been love all along.
 She told him, all in a breath. all hat she had thought, and suffered and knew, the while he chiyalrously answered that he had loved her al. ways-as he had, indeed, in a way Yet she felt the truth-that he never had loved her. It was only friendn. ness and liking. He was lying now to save her happiness and pride
 She dismissed him at once, brave Y keeping up the play of believing his tale until the door had closed up on him. Then, bitterly selfcontemp tuous. despairing. she turned her face to the wall and tried to die.
 Well, I don't see that it mattered whether or not she told him. cried eager little Millie Simpkins her eyes wet and shining. "Of course, it was too bad that he didn't really love her, but, after all, it would make no differ. ence when she was dead
 Miss billy rose and laid her hand for a moment on the girls head be. fore replying. When at last she spoke again there was a new throb in her esiet tone. Perhaps she had spoken with a purpose, seeing that Htle Milly was allowing her regard for careless young Stone to become subject to talk among the veranda gossips
 An, but you see she said softly 'fhe doctor was mistaken after all and thines didn't turn out as he ex Tected. You see, much as she longed to the girl didn't die. e.'-Chicago Trib une.

another church in Iron County
that they could have secured to
take their snakes in, and show old
Satan's work as they did here. We
think the church a place where
God dwells, and not a place for
everything to be held that comes

that the serpent is not a friend of
man, but a limb of the Devil.
