junction for the travel of Nevada and
Grass Valley regions, and Sally B.,
taking note of this, rebuilt her hotel
with a glance toward permanence
Proudly she led the superintendent
niece, Miss Amabel Hamilton, to the
best room, cloth-lined and gayly pa
pered. Proudly Sally B. set her first
banquet in the enlarged dining room !;
and proudly Vic Wah in his new kitch-

Yet during the hustle of arrival and
adjustment to rooms, he found a quiet
moment with Stella in Sally R.'s new
parlor; and the long weeks OF separa-
ton were forgotten in the space of
a clock tick.
There was no time for leisurely re-
views, confession of loneliness and
counter confession-only a brief sec

pending.
Alfred drew from his pocket a small
parcel and broke its fastenings.

And milk-white pearls for a neck as

And silver chains, and all for thee:

Stella hesitated. Not for the reason
that Alfred had asked her to play

of small woman in neat travelling

not increase Stella's confidence in her

She found herself angry because this

her head triple strand OF Roman

"Oh, how delicate and bonny!" Stel-

Ingram, Finn and Goulds train soon
began to move. Through the long af-
ternoon, excitement, hurrying orders,
smothered explosives filled the air,
penetrating even to grandma am S
room. One after another the teams
pulled out, six mules, eight ten, some
times 16 or IS animals. There were
"back-actions" and double back-ac-
TONS" mules and horses hitched to-
gether, and many teams of horses
alone, while at the rear few plodding
oxen bent patiently to their slower
journey.
Finn and Gould were in Sacramento
and Idaho respectively. Gideon was
trainmaster, and would shortly pass
and precede the train to look out for
its welfare on the way. Before riding
off he sought Stella. She was unaware
Of the quick admiration he had in
spired in her, till she OWNED it from
his satisfied, eager gaze. In the old
life he had been but a quick-tongued
boy she could always lead with her
calmer will. He had left that day on
the hill determined, passionate man,
yet yielding to her still. But now he
returned a conQueror. She felt it in
every movement of his large body, in
each word of his confident speech
Stella was thankful that the hustle
of previous hours had held him cap
tive; that now she could plead her
own preoccupation as reason for Civ
ing him but a moment
Il know it, Little Star" he said in
answer to her excuse. But I'm com

her, but she pushed him away.

future husband shall

gan passionately, when jimmy Dart
came for orders for supper.
I'll take goodbye and how-do-you-dc
both when 1 come again, Stella" Gid
con said with significance. I'm off,
He closed the door behind him; YET
the tyranny of his presence remained
Back of his simple words lay a power
that gripped and held Stella to mac
ton. Not till the girl had twice spoken
did Stella rouse to present duty. Ever
then her mind worked automatically
and she breathed calmly only after
she had seen Gideon ride out of towr
on his prancing horse.

could give me that. And-they will

Are you ashamed of me, Stellar"
he interrupted, his voice touched with
sternness as well as with wounded feel
ing.
No, no, no! But don't you see?
Women will nudge me, and ask when
it is to be, and who is the lucky man;
joke me unbearably. Men will, too.
And you won't be here toto help me.
Oh, don't you see?" she pleaded.
He put the ring in the box. Yes, 1
think can see," he said duly; YOU
wish no pledge between us
"Oh, Alfred, are sou forgetting what
We said that night when you were
Romeo, I Juliet? Is there anything
any article in this whole round world
that can hold our hearts closer?" She
held out a timid hand. I'D like to
keep your ring, if 1 may, out of sight

Till we're married? Then it won't
be an engagement ring!"
Must others see it to make it an
engagement ring?" She held up slim
finger. The day you say, Come here
it shall be. Till then, please tell NO

Alfred softened. He had been re.
PEELED by the eagerness with which
some of the western women he had
met paraded that which Stella would
screen with the curtains of her heart
There was real satisfaction in his face
when he spoke again.

bent to look at it.

Emil Zerkowitz, comercial councillor
Of Hungary, stationed in New York
city, makes an interesting statement
OF conditions and possibilities in his
country. He shows that there has
been much progress in material de-
velopment, and in this connection re-
marks: Hungary offers great re-
sources for enterprises of every kind
"a rich market for American export
ers, fertile soil for financial and in
dustrial investments and advantageous
business relations for importers" In
this connection there is furnished also
much information going to show the
extent of Hungary's foreign trade
This trade is large and increasing, and
the COMMERCIAL Councillor adds: Eff
forts of the Hungarian government
and of the different business and So
cial circles in Hungary to bring Hur.-
gary in closer connection with the
United States have not been without
effect, and We hope that these efforts
will steadily increase the friendly
feeling and the commercial relations
between both nations" The doors are
opening in various directions, and the
American producer and consumer may
find Hungary profitable field.

No Short Cut to Nationality.

NO Shcrt Cut to Nationality.
There is no short cut to Philippine
nationality. Its attainment is a long
task, calling for infinite patience and
self-control. The population must
greatly increase and must effectively
occupy the entire archipelago, salts
factory relations with the Pagan and
Mohammedan peoples must be estab
lished, education must do it's work,
and the social order be entirely trans
formed, before the basis of national
life is laid. Yet the aspiration for
national existence cannot justly be dis.
couraged. 1t is the motive power under
which the greatest of popular tri-
umphs have been achieved, writes Dr.
David P. Barrows, in his History
of the Philippines" The situation
Is one peculiarly delicate, and yet
full Of the greatest promise. There
and Filipinos should hold their tasks
with constant devotion and watchful-
ness over self. There could be no bet
ter motto for all who are engaged il
this undertaking than the words
Of Secretary of War Taft, on whom,
more than on any other man, rests the
immediate future of the Philippines:
In my view, duty is an entirety, and
1t is not fulfilled until it is entirely
fulfilled"
