How .is Il that coal Is higher today
sn Guthrie than Il was beforeY We
we're told that when the railroads were
completed into Guthrie coal would be
cheaper, and that was heiG out as a
strong and successful bait to induce
cur people TO subscribe iiberally, but
the cheapness 4 seems was In the air
Then came the state corporation Com
mission who would so reduce the coal
transportation rates within the state
as TO greatly reduce the cost to the
consumer Throughout the state. The
paers tlelsled the fancy OF eOnsum-
ers with Dig red lines, blue lines and
black lines, that the corporation Com
mission had brought the railroads up
with rush and forced big reduction
On transportation rates and that soon
ell would be lovely and the goose
would hans high, but that too, seems
70 DO all n the air for coal is as high
as Il was, and In some instances a
good deal higher There must be
something wrongs screw loose some
where. II II rests with the mine own
ors or NE railroad or even with the
Guthrie coal dealers, there ought to be
some way to find out where the re-
sp0nslbility rests ana dig Il out and
expose it and It's henificaries.

CHAPTER II.

l expected to see comedy, motherly,
middle-aged woman, and was taken alto
gether by surprise when Nurse Gertrude
presented herself In the person Of slight
young woman of twenty-five or there
abouts.
OF course l am no judge of female
beauty, but l don't think Nurse Gertrude
ut that time could be considered hand
some, or even very pretty. If have any
prediction, 1t is for large women with
round. full figures; and 1 think rather
like a saucy eye and a nice little turned
up nose.
Now Nurse Gertrude, though by no
means short, was, as | have said. slight
and thin. She had a very delicate. fair
complexion and pretty, dark hair, to be
sure; but her nose was long, and her
eyes were by no means saucy, but calm
and deep and thoughtful. Her express
sion was cheerful, and she had. a pretty
trick of blushing, but in repose her face
was full of intelligence and solicitude.
One could not look at her without being
impressed with the belief that she was
essentially a pure and honest girl, with
very earnest purpose, an amiable dis
position, and a clear-seeing, right-feeling
mind. Her eyes were so true and frank
and loyal. that one was attracted to-
wards her as to a friend whose fidelity
and love could never be doubted.
One thing struck me, and this was
that in some peculiarity-I know not
what-she bore a resemblance to Mrs.
Flexmore as | had known her in her
younger days. And this seemed also TO
have struck Flexmore, for more than once
saw him. forgetful of the table, looking
at her with the tenderest interest on his
poor old woe-begone face.
''Oh, see how this will end" said l
to myself. He'll marry that girl if
she'll have him"
Mrs. Yeames, Ike an old buzzard that
has missed its prey lowered about the
neighborhood, watching the quarry with
the Jealous intention of preventing any
other creature of her own species clawing
up what she had failed to secure. She
took a cottage at the other end of the
town and Joined clique of ladies' famous
for their ability in picking to pieces the
reputation of a fellow-Christian.
Meanwhile Nurse Gertrude fulfilled
her duties with the calm self-possession
Of one consclentiously doing what she
feels to be right. What she had come
there to do, she did-and as if by magic.
With DR.. Awdrey's help she got the fever
under in week, and after that she
brought smile back to the poor child's
wasted face, which was of still, greater
Importance; for when one can smile. one
can eat and enjoy food. She gave little

Mrs. 'Yeames had studied medicine from
shilling handbook that she carried with
her as if it were an amulet: she diluted
the physic and administered doses when
she thought fit. Little. Laure was very
much worse when the doctor called the
next day and it was not long before he
discovered the reason. He came down
into the library where | was sitting with
Flexmore
Your child is in very dangerous con-
dition," he said firmly.
Heaven have mercy upon me 20 ex-
claimed my old friend, clasping his hands.
What's to be done?"
She must have a proper nurse. to be-
gin WITH, said DR.. Audrey. II can get
you one whom l can rely on implicitly,
and who can do more than all my physic
for the poor child. She is in the hospital
Tor little children at London, and l be-
lieve she would come at once if | asked
her."
Then for mercy's sake. telegraph for
her at once"
When the doctor was gone Flexmore
in some embarrassment turned to me.
1t will never work, Tony" said he de-
spondently! THE nurse will never be
able to put up with Mrs. Yeames."
Yes; she's turned the whole place
topside turyy in putting things in order.
and left not Bit of comfort anywhere. "
Yes, yes; all the things that my darl-
ing loved she has packed away-the lit
tie trifes with which she made these
rooms so bright and pleasant | can't
bear to see the place altered and those
trifes, Tony. 1 miss them-I miss them"
We'll have 'em all back again In TWEEN
ty-four hours"
Il asked her to come and live here.
How can l get rid of her?"
Don't bother about that, George. You
leave her to me. Give me full authority
to act in your behalf. and stick to my
directions"
He gave me his word most impressively
that he would. went into the sitting
room and sent at once for Mrs. Yeames.
Then we had 1t out. She was a tough
one to deal WITH but not nearly so tough
as | am. tried to be polite, but fear
l insulted her. She certainly said l
did. and went into the library to know if
her brother-in-law would tolerate such a
want of respect on the part of a mere at
torney and the question being put direct
ly to Flexmore whether she or | were to
leave that house at once and forever, he
replied that he felt convinced, taking all
things into consideration. that he could
better afford to lose her than me.
After that there was nothing for the
indignant widow to do but to pack up
and pack of-which she did. happily, be-
fore her fury gave place to more pruden-
tial considerations.
