(cHAPTER lI.-continued.)

Not until the good-bys had been said
and the clumsy wagon had rassled
down the road did he bring the
thought to the light and face 1t. He
was alone in his room, a small, bare
room-like his life. No carpet on the
floor. no curtain at the window. but
spotlessly clean. from the blue and
white homespun spread on the bed to
the square stand beside it. He sat
on the edge of the bed, one hand shad-
ing his eyes from the light of the
small lamp. the other holding a pic
ture on which his eyes rested eagerly
1t was a small tintype-the face Of a
young girl-the eyes large. dark. and
bright, the hair soft and curling. the
forehead high. and the lips firmly
closed.
1t was like, yet curiously unlike. the
face that was looking down at It with
eager inquiry. These eyes. too. were
large and dark. but they were dreamy
instead Of bright; the lips were full
and flexible instead Of thin and close
ly set; and the broad forehead. even
when the shading hand pushed back
the hair impatiently. could not be
called high. In both dark faces was
n certain sturdiness of character. But
the girls face bore the stamp OF fully
developed powers. and the other that
OF powers yet uniformed.
Something was struggling In 1t. The
youth was striving blindly to hold to
belief In his love for the face before
him. That she was lost to him he
had accepted without struggle. But
that his love for her should go. too.
that he should not love her always
his poet nature shrank from the
thought. II was sacrilege. She had
been so long enthroned In his heart
she belonged there. She might be-
come the wife OF another man. let Ed
wards win her. she was still his. His
idsal OF her should not be torn from
him. He could not bear 1t. 1t should
not be.
And over his idealism. and around
and under II. ran conviction. a
strange certainty. that love was al.
ready dead.

FISH DROPPED FROM CLOUDS
Originally Carried Aloft In Water
spout 10 Simple Explanation
Of Occurrence.

On Friday last a number OF towns
people taking n walk on the slopes OF
Knockscalbert hill were surprised to
see on the grass near Summerhill n
large number OF very small fishes,
varying in length from 1 1-2 to 2
inches. The fish appeared to be the
young of the herring.
In August, 1904. a shower OF herring
fry was experienced at the head of
Longrow. but there was no doubt as to
whence the miniature fish had come.
for they fell from above on the hats
and clothing of several men, and at
the time a small black cloud of re-
markable density was directly over.

The phenomenon OF FISH falling from

renee than is generally supposed. 1t
is undoubtedly due to some small fry
OF fishes having been lifted from the
water and carried over dry land by

half a mile. Then he left even this
slight trail and struck into the un-
broken wood. making his way through
the underbrush and light snow with
free, swinging step.
He had evidently a goal in view,
and he emerged at last into a small
clearing. A small, time-worn house
stood a few rods away. Beyond the
house a long, sloping hill rose to the
horizon. and halfway up the hill an
isolated pine lifted its branches
against the sky. A barn stood a short
distance from the house, a path con-

self. He scarcely waited to hear the
response to his knock before he lifted
the latch and stood in the low door
way.
An old man was sitting by the
stove. He had paused in the act of
putting a stick of wood in the fire,
and stood, with stove-lifter suspended,
looking expectantly towards the door.
Halo. Dick" he said. nodding as
he saw his visitor. Turning once more
to the stove, he raped vigorously on
the stick until 1t fell into place.
Richard seemed to expect no other
welcome. He crossed the room and
seated himself on a rough. homemade
bench near the fire.
The old man looked at him keenly
from under shaggy gray brows as he
brushed the chips and dust from his
hands. Pretty cold" he said at last.
Richard nodded. He knew from ex-
perience that the less he said himself
the more Seth Kinney would say. He
picked up a pine splinter from the
floor and began whiting 1t as II un-
conscious of the shrewd look bent
upon him from the other side of the
stove.

States. The only other similar event
held in this country took place in
Spokane last year, which was quite a
successful meeting, the attendance
reaching 100000. Secretary Oliver
believes that at least 500, 900 will visit
the great Colorado display, which will
include apples by the carload down to a
single apple.
Displays of fruit are to be shown
coming from every apple-growing Sec
tion of tie country, and to this end a
vigorous campaign is now under way
by Secretary Oliver. From what he
has already learned the display will be
fine one. The prizes to be offered
consist in cash, cups and various arti-
cles.
During the exposition there will be

association of Colorado and the West

jcct being to better conditions existing
between the raisers of fruit and the
