was admitted to the drawing room by the
other door.
would have given anything to know
what was taking place there; but l could
not we'll put my ear to the keyhole in the
presence of Little LAure, so l had to con-
tent myself with the hope that Nurse
Gertrude would see through the wiles Of
her crafty visitor. 1t was exasperating
to hear the murmur Of voices and not to
distinguish what was being said, however,
l learned later on from certain source
what took place in this interview, and |
heard all-which, in my mind, certain
ly did when the mere facts of the case
were made known to me.
Standing by the door as he closed IL
Lynn made grave inclination OF his head
expressive Of respect, contrition-any-
thing you like; then he stepped forward
hastily with his hand out, his head erect,
his chest thrown forward, in a manly,
honest way. She put her hand In his.
Can you forgive me?" he asked, hold
ing her hand and speaking in that rapid,
full undertone that is supposed to express
earnest anxiety. Gertrude I" he added
with tender infection, putting forth his
left arm to take her by the waist.
Nothing succeeds like audacity with
certain women; but Gertrude was not Of
that set, and, quietly shrinking to avoid
seated herself with the slightest depreca-
tory movement of her head. l can see
that graceful, dignifed movement as
write-a kind of no -thank-you" move
ment. With deep sigh Lynn dropped
his hands by his sides and sank into a
chair.
II ought to have spoken out at the very
first, l know that" he said, in the tone
Of man candidly admitting an amiable
weakness. II ought to have given you an
explanation but was beside myself that
morning."
AS you have not offered any explana
ton since, l am to suppose that you have
been beside yourself rather over a week"
said Miss Dalrymple, with sympathy In
her voice.
Indeed I have" he said.

tricity Of conduct must certainly be for

the subject, she asked In tone Of ordi-
nary civility, "And when did you re-
turn"
"Oh, I-er-came back this morning."
replied Mr.. Lynn uncomfortably.
"Dr. Awdrey has asked frequently af-
ter you. l suppose you have not had
time to call upon him."
"No-that is, yes l saw him coming
along"
How very fortunate Mr.. Keene has
been inquiring about you. OF course, you
have not seen him?"
Not knowing how much she knew, he
had to admit the fact that he had seen
me also.
"Br-yes, have: had to call upon hm
on a pressing matter Of business, you
know"
Then, now l suppose you have salts
fed nearly everybody's curiosity. Isn't II
great relief to you?"

No; you will NOT ASK her That she
did not inquire whether you were rich
or poor when she consented to be your
wife; she will not refuse you now for any
reason of that kind. You must explain
your silence, and ask her to marry you
at once. Listen to me, Lynn am not
advising you without reason. Fle1more

Dalrymple, of little Laure, and to take
the interest Of the money in trust for her

that wish was prevented from being legal

much entitled to the money as though the
accident had not happened Miss Dal-
rymple has consented to take care of the
child manently-relieving me of a Ger
tain part Of my duty. Legally I shall
remain her guardian, and shall In fact
exercise my function whenever a question
arises respecting her welfare. but virtu-
ally she is Miss Dalrymple's ward, and
her services must be paid for. l shall
settle upon her all that is paid me as in
terest arising from Flexmore's bequest."
But, my dear fellow. you are robbing
yourself-you are carrying generosity be-

ed Lynn.
No, / am doing nothing Of the kind

Intentions, and shall remain as rich as
l have been. Whether you marry Miss
DalryTnple or not, shall settle the money
on her. But now you know you have no
excuse for breaking of the engagement"

Watering the Fire Escape Garden
-PIDe-smOLSinE Etiquete.
What | don't understand" said
Mrs Flatdweller, to a New York Sun
man. "is the way some folks water the
plants they keep on the fire escape.
Now, you see, we've got few plants
out Of your fire escape, and when 1
water them take care always not to
flood either the pots or the saucers
There are people living under us, and
1t is not impossible that they might
nave out on their fire escape something
drying, or they might have plants there
that they don't want water to drip on.
If they have nothing there they don't
want water dripping down from above
anyway because 1t would spatter from
the fire escape to the windows.
II have lived under people. nice peo-
pie, too, who seemed to forget entirely
that there was anybody living under
them, and who would simply pour
water on their plants and let 1t run
down In streams to spatter everywhere.
Don't you think It's queer about that?"
What gets me-" said Mr. Flatdwell-
er, "is how man can sit at an open
window smoking a pipe and when he
gets through smoking knock the ashes
out Of his pipe on the window sill.
There may be sparks in the pipe as
well as ashes, and both are liable to
be blown into open windows below. I
don't exactly see how men can be so
thoughtless as to do this, but some men
are. So, you see, women are not the only
thoughtcss creatures. There are
thoughtless men also.
But l don't pour water down the
fire escapes" said Mrs. Flatdweller,
land you don't kuoclS ashes out Of tho
window"
"True." said Mr. Flatdweller, grow
Ing philosophical now, "but II we
should consult our neighbors and they
would tell us frankly, l dare say that
we should discover that we do, with
out thinking, things that they don't
like, Just as they do some things that
don't strike us pleasantly. 1t is SO
much easier for us to see the faults OF
others than 1t is for us to realize our
own"

TREE-DEsTRoYINa RIVER.

Western Stream that Chews Up the
Growth Along the Banks.
The Gila river enters the Colorado
just west Of Yuma, and we crossed its
angry waters through maze Of eddies
and whirlpools through which immense
quantities Of driftwood were whirling
In mad race, says writer In Har-
per's Magazine. Escaping the worst Of
the turmoil, we reached the town at
racing speed and made triumphant
landing with half our journey accom-
plished.
At most places along shore the river
had reached the line Of older growths
and was leveling the larger trees by
hundreds wherever a bend Of the river
directed the force Of the current against
the far shore. Trees ten inches in diam
eter and twenty to thirty feet high were
constantly topping into the Unsuitable
river.
The fall Of these larger trees was
always graceful. The first intimation
OF 1t was a distinct shiver that ran
through the entire tree, but was most
marked In the upper branches: mo-
ment later the tree would bend grace
fully forward as IF bowling to its
enemy. An instant's pause and II
would sink slowly into the rushing
waters that had reached to the loosened
and inshore roots.
Tree after tree Of this large growth
would start down the river broadside
to the current Slowly at first 1t would
roll over and over, tangling its branches
into great skeleton wheel, rolling fast
er and faster as the branches became
more impacted and presented fewer
projecting points. to catch and hold a
moment in the shallower reaches
Eventually the branches would be worn
off In such progress. leaving only the
tougher roots TO retard 1t. Then the de-
nuded tree would give up the struggle
and whirling into the line Of least ra-
sistance, would float head on down
stream until caught by the spreading
roots in some shallow.

Baron Won Teuber Tells of
Shooting of Negroes
BY Indians.
CAPTURED BY WILD MEN,
AMERICAN PARTY SENTENCED
TO DlE-DEADLY FEVER KILLS
ONE OF PARTY IN MANDlNGA
RIVER REGIONS

New York, Nov. 2S.-Baron F. Won
Teuber, the young Austrian explorer
who went to the Isthmus of Panama
ten months ago to search for anthra-
cite coal and collect specimens and
chronological data for the Smithsonian
Institution in the practically unknown
country of the San Bias Indians, has
returned alone.
When the baron sailed from this
port he was accompanied by three
American mining engineers, Frederick
Smith, Peter Bartlett and John Brad
ley, who went to seek the source of the
gold washed down from the range of
mountains called the Cordillera de
Chipo to the coast of the Gulf of San
Bias. On arrival at Colon, Carl Won
Teuber, brother of the baron and a
student from Heidelberg, joined the
party.
Bradley died of black water fever in
a sailing boat while on his way to the
hospital at Colon from Cart, small
town at the mouth of river of the
same name. Smith went down to Pc
ru, and Bartlett and Carl Won TeubeI
remained on the isthmus.
I'VE left Colon at the end of Janu-

THE DIVORCE QUESTION.

There is little doubt that the divorce
rate is growing in this state, and rap
idly, too. 1t was only the other day
that the press dispatches disclosed the
fact that there were considerably more
divorces in Indiana than in South Da-
kota.
1t must be said at once that statis-
tics do not prove much in a question OF
this sort The laws of divorce vary
in every state in the union and condi-
tons do also. Europe could no more
be compared with the United States OF
America on mere statistics than apples
can be added to peaches For the
laws are utterly different, and more
than that. the comparative depend
ence of women in that country makes
almost any sort of marriage prefer
able to being forced out into the world.
There is not much doubt that the in
dependence of women and the state Of
comfort in which they live is almost
accurately measured by the divorce
mill. Not but what there are other
forces at work. There are plenty of
them. And besides that, the percent
age of divorces granted in this state
for little or no cause, must be great.
A writer on trial marriages" has
advanced the theory that the divorce
as now abused is only part Of pro-
cess of evolution which is leading to
more advanced notions on the mar
riage subject. However this may be,
it can hardly be doubted that more
than half the divorces granted are not
for the charges set down in the evil
dence, but for a blase attitude which is
becoming wider spread all the time,
and is the outcome of fast living. 1t
is the feeling which Kipling describes
in one of his Plain Tales from the
Hills, when he says, And you look
across the breakfast table and see the
woman whom men call your wife, and
realize that there are years to come"
Much of the trouble Is undoubtedly
caused by hasty and ill considered
marriages and the omission of the
word worse" in the marriage ceremo.
