Drive straight home, Donald" he said to
the man, and then, as they were shut in
alone, he simply gathered Audrey into
his arms and held her in silence to his
heart.
Home and happiness !" he said. at
last. Dear little wife, am forgiven?"
"Oh, hush !" Audrey's hand went up
to his lips. 1T is who should ask
that, my darling. L"
1--WE will ask nothing, seek for nothing,
now we are alone and together again"
And then his arms clung close about
the slender graceful form; his lips were
pressed to the delicate, hower-like face,
and to both these young, troubled hearts
peace and joy came, with their golden
fingers, to heal all the wounds that re-
mained from the bitterness Of the past.

Kindly Soul of Lincoln.

''The first time 1 saw Abraham Lin.
coin was In 1852, just flfty-five years
ago." said former Governor William
Pitt Kellogg Of Louisiana recently. Il
had Just been admitted to the bar and
was In Springfield, the capital Of I'LL
nois. was young and perhaps rather
timid and for that reason l remember
particularly Mr.. Llncoln's kindness to
me.
HE had large black eyes that looked
out on you from deep sockets and SEEM
ed to peer down into your soul. Though
had hungry look, his face was light
ed with inspiration; you felt in his
presence that he was a man far above
the ordinary.
II sat there at the table that morn
Ing In the court and Mr.. Lincoln, who
was then known as one Of the greatest
lawyers Of Illinois, leaned over and
picked up book just In front OF me.
AS he did 50 he bowed In a kindly way
without saying word. To this day
have never forgotten that bow and tho
expression on his face.
-Four years later In the convention
in which the Republican party was
born l sat next to him as a delegate.
He represented Sangamon County and
made that great speech In which he
said: You can fool all the people soma
of the time and some OF the people
all the time, but you can't fool all the
people all the time
"He had the most winning way in
getting votes I ever saw. Two years
later, in 1858, he was a candidate for
the United States Senate against Doug
las and made speeches from the Same
platform on which I spoke. I was q
candidate for the Legislature on his
ticket and he advocated my election. In
1890 I was a presidential elector on tho
Lincoln ticket In Illinois
"Only this morning received q COPY
Of q paper containing the state ticket
Of that year and found that I was tho
only man whose name was on that
ticket who IL Jet alive. Those were
wonderful days and they produced won
derful men, but Lincoln was the great
est of them all. He was the greatest
man that I have known In the flfty-fvs
years that have been In public life"

GOLDEN DAYS IN THE STRIP.

1t Was When the Cherokees Got Pay
for Their Lands.
The Cherokee nation literally ''rolled
in money" when the $4,000, 900 receive
from the sale of the Cherokee strip was
disbursed among the tribal citizens in
1894, says the Kansas City Star. The
per capita share was $265.70 The pay.
ment was made usually with two 800
bills, one $50. one $40. one $6 and 70
cents In silver. The money was dis
bursed by "Zeke' Starr. treasurer, and
Henry Effort, assistant treasurer Of the
nation. Most of the Indians were In
debt. and creditors swarmed in towns
where the payments were made. T. A.
Latta, who attended these payments,
in recalling incidents lately, said:
much has been told of the dishon-
esty Of the Indian, but In this payment
there were many examples of lnteg-
rity. At Tahlequah full-blood wom-
an. perhaps 60 years old, widow, drew
for eleven participants in the fund.
She had traded with many Of the mer-
CudutS w uO sat dt thC loUiCo oStVSSAA
which she had passed. After the mon
ey had been counted out to her she
swept the entire amount into her apron
and, holding a corner in each hand, she
passed from trader to trader. pauslnG
before each until each had taken a suf-
ficient amount to balance her indebted
ness. Not once did she count the
change or investigate the account. She
was honest. and conciOus of her own
integrity, did not question the honesty
of another. This was only one case.
There were scores like it, and, though
not pleasant to relate, the confidence
thus placed was sometimes betrayed.
There are cases where the greedy cred
itor took handful and gave back no
change.
"a mixed blood Of some astuteness
came to settle his account with trader.
In looking over his account he discov-
cred the charge Of a side saddle
amounting to SIS. He had not made
such purchase and had the bill rem
edied without trouble, the willy old
trader merely telling his bookkeeper to
place the item to John Does account.
The bookkeeper himself is authority for
the statement that in this way that self
same saddle was collected for eighteen
times"
In Claremore bankers were in at
tendance from Coffeyville, seeking de-
posits for their banks One store in
the town had a safe Of modern dmen-
sions and security and this store was
headquarters for bankers and collect
ors alike. The merchant himself had
a mere bagatelle Of some $12O,OOO on
the payment. After supper the count
ing room was filed with collectors and
bankers. A parlor table was called in
to use and money as high as ones chin
was stacked on every available inch.
1t was the minute for verifying the
memorandum of the day. On one par
tlcular evening there was on this ia
BILE at one time close to half a million
dollars in crisp new treasury notes.
Laps full Of money? There were wag-
onloads of 1t. 1t was no uncommon
thing to change a hundred-bill for a s.
cent sale. And the scarcity Of change
was responsible for the custom Of
charging 25 cents for changing bill Of
that denomination.

But When He Dreamed = Murder

Looking for man who has not ct
least a grain or two Of superstition In
his makeup is like looking for a nee

opinion OF man who declared that
this peculiar element was present In a
more or less degree with every person

a small company which was enjoying
agencies, and all that sort Of thing.
He based his, assertion upon an Incl

some bitter enemies. His chief boast
has always been that there II nothing
superstitious about him. He would
rather walk under a ladder on a side
walk than 90 around 1t. II he spilled
salt on the tablecloth he would laugh
to scorn any one who would suggest
throwing a pinch Of 1t over his left
shoulder, and would rather begin a new
enterprise on Friday than on any other
day of the week, just to show people
that he Is not superstitious.
early in the morning OF the second
day I was at his house I was awak-
and when opened 1t was surprised to
find my friend there. He was pale and
haggard, and looked as II something
terrible had happened. OF course, I
asked for an explanation, and he gave
1t to me.
"T have not had a wink Of sleep for
three hours he said, and all on ac-
count Of two dreams that 1 nau m sue

tercation with a business rival with
whom I must say I am not on good
terms, and that l struck him a blow
which killed him. The horror of the
thing awakened me, and when I drop

same awful dream
"In addition, he assured me that he
did not dare to close his eyes again
for fear of It's repetition third time,
and II that happened he knew he would
do something desperate. Perhaps, he
said, he might commit murder.
II tried to laugh all this away and
him that to have an idea Of
that sort was the rankest kind Of su-
something that he had al
ways ridiculed but / couldn't reason
with him. and kept him company un-
til the breakfast bell rang.

said to the company. "in support of

CHAPTER xxx.

Audrey waited a moment. Now that
she had come, she felt slightly nervous ;
but it was only for an instant. Away
In the dim light she saw a mans form );
she raised her voice.
-'Mr. Rochfort!" she called in her clear,
silvery tones, and at the sound Jack
started, and cold beads of perspiration
burst out on his brow. In his agony
-groan had all but escaped him, but he
linched his hands and forced 1t back
fG)nce again rang out the sweet clear
reoice, calling the name that was the
most detestable to her miserable hus-
bands ears.
There was u pause, then a form drew
nearer. and Jacks aching eyes discovered
the slender, graceful figure of Beverley

iy; then he drew a step nearer. Lady
Iverne, can I believe my eyes. Ia 1t really
your To what good fairy do l owe this
great happiness, this unexpected delight p
Audrey shivered. She began to speak
hurriedly.
"Mr. Rochfort," she said. and against
herself her voice would quiver. this af-
ternoon I was with your aunt, Mrs.
Thorngate. found her in great distress
of mind about you. 1t panied me to see
one who is my true friend suffering so
nuch. I urged her to let me help her,
and at last she gave way, and told me
oil that was on her mind-how you are
In trouble, and how she finds 1t impossi-
BILE to help you"
