He paused, and eyed her watchfuIly.
Her face was like a mask Of stone.

IL Was patient told myself that l

that must give you time to know
me, and TOTO love me-"
He paused and moistened his lips,
and looked at her. Why did she not
speak-of what was she thinking?
AT that moment, if he could but
have known it, she was thinking OF
| her true loYeT-Of the young lord who
had not waited and calculated, but who
| had poured the torrent of his pas
sionate love at her feet-had taken
her in his arms and made her love
him. And as she Lought, how small.

her!
Il gave you mine-I meant to give
you more" he continued; Il want TO
do something worthy of your love.

no title-as yet
Stellas eyes flashed for a moment
and her lips closed. 1t was an I'M
lucky speech for him.
No, not yet; but l shall have riches
and title-I have set my mind on
them, and there is nothing that
have set my mind on that / have not
got, or will not get-nothing! he re
peated, with almost fierce intensity.
Still she did not speak Like bird
charmed, fascinated by snake. she
stood, listening though every word
was torture TO her.
Il have set my mind on winning
your love, Stella l love you as few
men love. with all my heart and soul.
There is nothing would not do to
win you, there is nothing I would
pause at"
A faint shudder stole through her;
and he saw it, and added, quickly;
Il would do anything to make you
happy-move heaven and earth to see
you always smiling as you smiled this
morning. Stella, love you! What
have you to say to me?"
He stopped, white and seemingly ex
.hausted, his thin lips tightly com
pressed, his whole frame quiyerng.

TEXAS TUBERCULOSIS CAMPS.
Plans for a Quarantine Against Con-

DR.. W. NJ. Brumby, state health Off
Ger, is working out the details Of
his plans for debarring from Texas
all persons who are afflicted with
tuberculosis in an advanced state,
says the Austin correspondent of the
New York Sun. The system win in
volve the establishment of quarantine
camps at many points and a method
of tlain inspection.
1t IL asserted by DR.. Brumby and
many other physicians of the state
that the constant influx of consump-
tives into Texas imperils tne health
Of the people here. Most OF the
health seekers go into the southwest
Fart of the state, where the air IS
G:y and invigorating and the winter
climate mild.
Thousands Of them flock to Sap
Antonio and Ell Paso every winter
The INDECENT ones have to be cared
! for by the county or city.
In addition to quarantining against
| persons who are afflicted with tuber-
culosis in an advanced stage the state
health authorities contemplate adopt
ing some plan by which those who
are in an incipient stage OF the dis
ease may be Kept out of the larger
cities and towns and placed in col
onies or upon ranches. In this way

There are many tent colonies OF
consumptives in the San Antonio ter
ritory. There can be no doubt about
the curative qualities of that method
of living.
Some of these colonies are located
Antonio. while the natural beauties
of the country ere made still more
enjoyable by the abundant fishing
which the rivers afford and the gam
found near the camp. Some of
these colonies are conducted on thu
cooperative Ilan.
In most Of these tent colonies
there is regularly employed phys.-
clan, who is usually himself a con
sumptive. In one colony all doctors
and med cine are strictly prohibited
in camp. Each colonist is required
to take a pledge that he will dis
ca the use of all kinds OF medicin ne
during his stay in the camp and that
he will not mention his disease or
physical condition to any one as
long as he is a member of the col
ony.
1t is the theory of these colonists
that the cure of tuberculosis is foun1
in deep breathing, proper exercise,
eating of wholesome food and living
; in the open air The coionists also
forbid its members from weighing
) themselves while they are taking the
treatment. 1t is asserted that the
weighing habit has caused more than

The colony has proved a success
Many of its members have been dis
charged as completely cured and all
show signs of rapid improvement.
None but men are admitted Mona
but cheerful subjects are permitted
to be discussed. It is asserted that
the mental effect of the system under
which the camp is conducted is one
cause of the physical improveme ed

People who would attain exquisite
mental poise must live between the

Sounding Their
Only Retreat
BY John H. erueseI.

The Grand Army of the Republic is
passing in final review The total
number of survivors is now $4,000.
This figure is obtained as follows:
The last official enrolment, made by
the pension authorities at Washing
ton, June 80, 1907, was 6a4,33S. De
Quoting $500 a month, for nine inter
vening months, there were $4,000
deaths.
The Old Guard is dying off at the
for each month are often higher In
1906, Grand Army survivors died to
the number of 29.20S; and in 1907 the
loss was 31,201 for the year that
closes June /, 1908, the death rate
Twill be unquestionably between 35,-
600 and $4,000, if not higher For the
/ old soldiers of the Republic now have
Preached the average age of So. At
| that rate, the deaths will come faster
and faster still; and within ten years
the noble army viii be all but a
memory.
Had the soldiers of the Civil War
mot been mere lads in their teens, the
Grand Army would long ere this have
persisted from the earth. But the
Union was saved literally by boys
boys in their teens; and many had
not even reached their teens.
Startling as this statement seems, it
is indisputably borne~out by the Off
cial records:
There were 2,77S,9O9 enlistments, as
| follows:
At the age of 10 and under. rs
At the age of u and under. 225
At the age of IA and under. 1923
At the age of 16 and under S44,S91
At the age of Is and under 1,151, 43S
At the age of 81 and under 2,159,79
twenty-five years of age and
over ................ b1S, oil
Adding the number under q and
over 22,-that is 2,159,79S and 61S,-
i511,-the total enrolment was g.
IT'S, 309.
Never in the worlds history, be,
fore our day, was a nation saved by
youths in their teens. In the stirring
years of Father Abraham, these boys
came forward by the tens of thous-
ands, in response to the call to arms.
War expenditures reached $6,000,.
100000
During the war, $1,000 were killed
in battle
The records also show that 43,012
died of wounds.
Disea9e claimed 224,5S6.
And PASTE persisted from other
causes.
There We're 100000 wounded in bat.

Between all these dread disasters,
it is wonder that even a remnant of
the Grand Army of the Republic sur
wives; and it should ever be the pride
and pleasure Of this American Re-
public to remember the debt owed to
the boys of 81.
