!. The New Zealand agricul-

suit. The New Zealand agricul-
| turists were never for a moment
fooled by the cry that the single
tax the land value tax would
ruin them. They saw through
that false pretense instantly.
| And it was the New Zealand far
mer who was the first to vote TO
, tax land values alone for local
purposes. That the Oregon far
| Imer will be less keenly alive to
the situation we are not prepared
to believe. He is surely as in
telligent as the New Zealander.
He is surely as capable Of ana
lying a proposition which so VIZ
tally affects him. He is surely
as open to the truth when once
Jit comes within range of his
vision. And this truth is so sim
pie, so plain, so readily grasped
by any one who cares TO grasp
it. that it will be strange if the
Oregon farmer shall permit the
Big Interests which control the
big newspapers to deceive him
and frighten him into doing what
they want him to do. He can
hardly imagine that they are
throwing fits unselfshly on his
account They have never hesi-
tated to squeeze him when they
got the chance. They have rob |
bed him in a hundred ways.
They have always regarded him
as their legitimate prey. Yet
now they appear as his guardian
angel. They are profoundly eX-
ercised lest he should vote for a
scheme of taxation which they
say will destroy him. If he
shall listen to them he will have
to believe that they are animated
by no other impulse than that of
saving him at any sacrifice.
This is generous on their part,
but it ought not to fool any body.
They are really thinking Of them
selves, not of the farmer If
only the farmer were hurt, they
wouldn't cheep. 1t is because
they themselves are likely to be
hur. that they are filling Oregon
with a wild whoop of alarm. lt
viii be their fat in the fire if the
amendment should be adopted.
For the amendment will kill land
speculation, il will free oppor-
tunity, &c will encourage manu-
features and commerce, Il viii
raise wages, il will end labor
war and it will do more to ad-
vance the material interests Of
Oregon than anything that has
ever before been done since she
found a place on the map. -

voice was steady, yet Alfred caught
its note of terror

Yes. without trouble, now that l

quickly on the ground, his arms

gest job of building since Babel"
Uncle Billy rose and went out.
Soon all was ready. Stella waited
by her trunk for the coach to swing
round.
"Oh, Gideon, how can I leave you?"
she sobhed as he came to her side.
But l wouldn't go unless you stayed"
"All aboard, honey" called the
drivers kind voice from the dark.

Uncle Billy laid a tender hand On

She nodded and turned aside. Both

DO you FEAR GROWING OLD?
Remain LovabIe and Keep the Mind
Alert to the Times,

The future is not half so creepy TO
the girl standing with unwilling feet
where the brook and river meet, as
1t is to that same girl when she
reaches the between age" and finds
age staring her in the face.
Every woman hates to grow old, and
the more vital has been her life, the
more filled with joy and popularity,
the greater that hatred.
1t is not pleasant to picture oneself
friendless. lonely and not wanted
around; to feel ones hair and eyes
and teeth get the worse for wear. and
know that however tight your grip,
youth refuses to be held.
An old woman who is lOvable never
yet lacked love; the trouble is that so
many of US forget to keep lovable. We
grow sour, or discontinued or captiOus
and then blame our lack of friends on
our years.
The woman who need not fear grow
ing old is the woman who keeps alive
to the times, whose mind is alert to
the best in the world to-day rather
than raking over the past; who does
not worry, therefore does not fuss, -
whose aim is a young heart and in
achieving it fOrgets to fret over
wrinkles and bodily age.

HARD PILLOWS ON DIvAN.
Should Be Arranged So as to Support
the Softer Ones.

Every one does not know that a
wide divan is made more comfortable
by having at its back two huge, hard
pillows that will support the softer
ones :
1t is usual to heap up great variety
of these extra soft ones on a large
diyan so that anyone sitting or reclin-
ing may arrange them according TO
ones comfort.
These are needed, it is true, but
they also need a support. The wall is
usually too far back from the front
edge of the divan to serve The two
large pillows made of the material
which covers the divan are not only
comfortable, but artistic
They may be stuffed with excelsior
into coarse muslin or ticking, then
covered with the chosen fabric. They
look better with heavy cord around
the edging.
If the end of the divan is against the
wall as well as its side, a third pillow
may be added to give an added frame
work to the little pillows.
This is not an expensive trick, but
if a housewife ever tries it she will,
never let the divan go without this
part of its equipment.

CHAPTER II.

Quickly Stella controlled herself
and was going about the station duties
with a. quiet calmness that surprised
Alfred.

Stella, facing away from them, was
placing dishes on the table. 'Tll have
supper for you soon," she said present
~. I'VE didn't dare begin to cook
before for fear-for fear"
All right, Stella. These passengehs,
MT Vincent and Mr.. Cadwalladeh, will
eat: but Gid an I'll go and look up the
old man first"
Stella flashed him a grateful look
before nodding to the strangers, the
only acknowledgment of the intrOduc

lantern and set it near the door;
the bar, and some white cloth, and
placed b1rh beside the lantern.

bending under a load that she had
lifted with ease.
III take them, stranger" Gideon
had dropped the barley and stepped
quickly to Stella's side.
Alfred turned, startled at that which
his sensitive ear heard in the voice.
He met pair of black, burning eyes
in a swarthy face not yet divorced from
boyishness. though full manhood spoke
from the straight figure and sinewy
movements. Alfred needed no inter-
prefer for that jealous look, needed no
one to tell him of the instant hostility
that lurked in the darkling eye, and
found quick response in his own heart.
He relinquished the blankets and re-
tired to his chair, his eye the buster
since hands must be idle.
He looked about, upon the bar in the
corner, its glittering glass and one
kerosene lamp the only brightness in
the gloomy room; upon the dark,
weapon-hung walls, and the significant
loop-holes that cleaned small and
black against the starlit night without.
Bare floors, rude homemade furniture

fred could possibly have imagined ten
days before.
One object removed it from saw

an omen of coming civilization. From
the chair to Stella herself Alfref's eye
wandered, noting her incongruous
dress, a rich lavender silk skirt, once

boots, one tor at the side. Her linen

peared.
"Cracky, this 10 good" Phineas ex-
claimed as he looked over the table.
Milk, by the eternal!"
Yes, but it's our last, / guess. They
got the COW. i" She stopped abrupt
ly and left the room.
Phineas was at heart a coward, yet
he stroye to hide it under bravado;
and he took his turn in the darkness
with a half merry, half contemptuous
badinage that was sufficiently deceiv-
ing.
Alfred ate sparingly, silently, his
mind intent on impending tragedy.
Your hand is hurt, SIR Stella said
as she placed the hot bacon before
him. Without more words she cut the
meat and buttered his biscuit. 1t was
done quickly, incidentally. She did
not falter, her face was calm. Yet
when she came with old linen and

burn her touch upon Alfred's hand

The dressing was barely finished

and a white mans voice replied.

Stella did not return, though Al

the minutes dragging with his mac
ton, until the searchers returned.
Stella heard them and fastened t
the door, peering into the darkness

At last Uncle Billy stepped into tn

and fed. Alfred saw her white, set
face as she passed.
Duty and love are weapons that af-
Fiction at her worst is compelled to
respect. Alone Stella fought her
quick battle for cOmposure; and when
she brought in supper for the two
men her face was less stricken than
Uncle Biliy's. He went to her, took
her hands in his own, lifted his re-
luctant eyes to her. Honey, YOU
you must go-in an houh, less time if
nossible-"
She met his look bravely, her voice
unfaltering, though words came lame
ly- But father-I cannot leave him.
Where-where is he?"
Child, we buried him-Gid and me.
We did it-good, and l mapped the

Stella's head dropped. Alfred saw
her throat throb, her hands tighten
convulsively on Uncle Billy's.

She lifted her face; her lips twitchea

CHAPTER III.
Alfred Promises Allegiance.

Alfred studied Gov Stanford's face
keenly while the latter re-read Mr..
Huntingtons letter.
1t said in part: For three years
have closely observed this young man
and found him. l believe, peculiarly
adapted to business of a delicate ma
ture, for which we shall have growing
need He is older than he looks and
wiser than his age. His character
does not altogether show in his face,
and few would suspect such a slender
youth of his capacity for the affairs
you may require of him."
Alfred was gratified at what he saw
in the governors eyes as he looked up
from the letter.
Young man, because of Mr.. Hunt
ingtOns strong letter we're going to
trust you beyond your years. 1t will
be varied and difficult task. Do you
think you will be equal to ito"
All that l can do, sir, is to promise
my best effort and ask you to try me"
Can you take hectoring good ma
turedly?" asked Mr.. Crocker. You
can't go far on such a shape as you
have out west here; there's too much
Harvard college and ballroom in it."
The governor spoke at once. Il be-
lieve Vincent will safely weather re-
marks concerning his shape; he'll be
in cities most of the time, anyway"
It's not nice work we're putting
you to, Vincent" he continued. You'll
have to meet craft with craft, scheme
with scheme. And some Of Cad
walladers schemes - they're the
schemes of the men behind him, yet
they don't sweeten in his hands-are
far from savory. But we'll not ask
you to do anything for US that's less
than honest"
That's only safe, sir. You'd hardly
trust me if l accepted other terms"
Here's our cipher Use it as
sparingIy as possible. No man can
make a cipher some other man can't
read"
unless he changes 1t often
enough" Alfred added instantly.
The governor smiled and turned to
the superintendent. Il guess he'll do
Croker" His face relaxed, and AL
fred caught a glimpse of the genial
hearty citizen who won men to his
enterprises through his faith-faith in
both enterprises and men.
