Feeling somewhat doubtful as to
what might be the result, Brant
knocked upon the door he had just
closed, and, in response to the voice
within, opened it. Hampton sat upon
the chair by the window, but as his
eyes caught a glimpse of the returned
soldier with a woman standing beside
him, he instantly rose to his feet.
Mr.. Hampton" said Brant, Il trust
1 may be pardoned for again troubling
you, but this is Miss Spencer, a great
admirer of western life, who is desir-
Gus of making your acquaintance"
Miss Spencer swept gracefully for
ward, her cheeks flushed, her hand ex-
tended. "Oh, Mr.. Hampton, have so
wished to meet with you ever since I
first read your name in Aunt Lydia s
letters-Mrs- Herndon is my aunt, you
know-and all about that awful time

view His feelings toward Hampton
had been materially changed He
found it impossible to nurse dislike
which seemingly had no real cause for
existence.
Yet Brant was far from being salts
fed. Hampton had not even advanc-
ed a direct claim; he had lodged the
real issue, leaving the soldier in the
dark regarding his relationship to
Nadia, and erecting barrier between
the other two. 1t was a masterpiece
of defense, puzzling, irritating, SEEM
ingly impossible. From the consid-
Grafton of it all, Brant emerged with
but one thought clearly defined-who-
ever she might prove to be, whatever
was her present connection with
Hampton, he loved this dark-eyed, au-
burn-haired waif. He knew it now,
and never again could he doubt it. He
paused, half inclined to retrace his
steps and have the matter out. He
turned just in time to face a dazzling
vision of fluffy lace and flossy hair
beside him in the dimly lighted hall.
"Oh, Lieutenant Brant." and the
vision chung to his arm tenderly. TT
is such a relief to find that you are
unhurt. Did-did you kill him?"

tainly taken no ones life. What can
you mean?"
"Oh, / am so glad; and Nadia will
be, too. 1 must go right back End tell
the poor girl, for she is nearly dis
tracted. Oh, Lieutenant, isn't it the
most romantic situation that ever
was? And he is such a mysterious

Brant felt that the others display of
irritation gave him an unexpected adj
vantage.
Nothing that need awaken anger,
1 am sure. Something caused me to
harbor the suspicion, and 1 naturally
supposed you would know about it.
Indeed, I wondered if some such
knowledge might not account for your
very deep interest in keeping her so
entirely to yourself"
Hampton's fingers twitched in a
nervousness altogether unusual to the
man, yet when he spoke his voice was
like steel. Your suspicious are high
ly interesting, and your cowardly in
situations base. However, if, as !
suppose, your purpose is to provoke
a quarrel, you will find me quite ready
to accommodate you
An instant they stood thus, eye to
eye. Suddenly Brant's memory veer-
ed to the girl whose name would be
smirched by any blow struck between
them, and he forced back the hasty
retort burning upon his lips.
You may be, Mr.. Hampton" he
said, standing like a statue, his back
to the door, but 1 am not. AS you
say, fighting is my trade, yet 1 have
never sought personal quarrel. Nor
is there any cause here, as my only
purpose in asking the question was
to forewarn you, and her through

africa for the Africans

Dispatches from South Africa report
the existence of great unrest among
the natives and express an apprehen-
sion that another black rebellion
against white government is imminent.
The curious statement is made, says
the Philadelphia Enquirer, that this
situation is largely the result of a
propaganda conducted by persons of
African descent, who went to Liberia
from this side of the Atlantic, and
thence scattered through the terri
tories south of the Zambesi, preaching
as they went the doctrine of Africa
for the Africans" urging the natives
to cease quarreling among themselves
in order to make common cause
against the foreign enemy, and declar-
ing it to be in the power of the ma
tives, by united effort, to drive the
white invaders into the sea. This
kind of talk is said to have made a
deep impression on the always war
like Zulus and on the other tribes resi-
dent in Natal and, in the British colo
MES formerly constituting the South
African republic and the Orange Free
State.

H. S. GIvLER. Pub
Inventive Genius.

People gifted with a strong imagine-
ton are sometimes the possessors of
strange powers of invention All sorts
of quaint ideas come to them which
would not occur to the ordinary mind,
and these they must perforce work
out Genius has been defined as the
capacity for taking infinite palms, but
genius is seldom practical in financial
matters, and only too often it falls to
another less imaginative person to
perfect and protect the invention SO
as to apply it for general use, while
the inventor himself probably gains
little profit out of the transaction.
This, We believe, was actually the case
with the inventor of the macintosh,
which might otherwise have been
known to posterity by the name of
Morrison. At the beginning of the
last century Scotchman named Nor
rison invented a waterproof material
and, in order to test it's reliability, he
clothed himself in an entire garb of it
and went out in the pouring rain. The
garment kept out the rain, but it also
prevented all evaporation from the
heated body enyeloped in it Mr.. Nor
rison died as the result of his expert
ment, and a subordinate in his office
took out patent and rescued the
waterproof from oblivion under the
name of the macintosh. This is proof
positive, remarks the New York
Weekly, as to the Importance of
patenting any invention Immediately,
even if it appear to be a matter of
small consequence. The macintosh
has now a worldwide reputation, and
the original patentee or his heirs must
have profited considerably by the in
VentiOn.
