CHAPTER Xxx.

Paulette fled to her own room and
flung off her drenched habit. Her great
eyes burned, her fair little face was
glorious with that TRANSPORTATION which
comes to all women's faces when they
love. She looked at her own image GU
riously in the glass.
And Is this the great, grand passion
Of which L have heard so much?" she
thought. do l, at last, know what love
is?"
Her own eyes answered her. She
did not blush or smile, like other wo-
men, but sank suddenly to her knees,
as If awe6 by the great presence that
had entered her heart and stretched out
her arms to viewless air.
How happy-how happy / ami she
murmured. Ought I to tell him all?
No, no! Never to him could repeat
that shameful story! would rather
die than lose one iota Of his love! Am
/ worse than others? Are there not
women who carry secrets through all
their lives. and keep, them, too. from
their best and dearest? Oh, God! Wipe
out the past from my heart and my
memory"
A soft tap at the door. Paulette rose
hastily and opened it. On the thresh-
old, dark and sallow. stood Hilda Burr.
THE general begs you will come
down." she said, sweetly. May l con-
graduate you upon your new happi-
ness? I'm sure 1t is very gratifying to
us ALL"
Thanks" answered Paulette. coldly,
though cheek and neck and brow were
of a violet crimson. What bird Of the
air brought you the news so prompt
ly?"
You must blame Arthur's ardor," J."
said Miss Burr vivaciously. And you
are to be the future mistress of Hazel
Hall! How delightful! The general
thinks so much Of a good alliance

soon join US? Very WELL" and she fit

good prospects for other tasty meats
we were spared the usual anxiety Of
a winter without winter supplies. and
Francke was Just the man to use this
game to good effect, for he had a
way of preparing our primitive pro-
visions that made our dinners seem
equal to Holland House spread.
In the middle of October foxskins
were prime, and then new steel traps
were distributed and set near the
many caches. By this time the Eski-
mos had all abandoned their sealskin
tents and were snugly settled In their
winter igloos. The ground was COW
cred with snow, and the sea was near
ly frozen over everywhere.
Everybody was busy preparing Tor
the coming cold and night. The tenn
perature was about 20 degrees below
zero. Severe storms were becoming
less frequent, and the air, though
colder, was less humid and less disa-
greeable. An ice fort was formed. and
the winter sledging was begun by
short excursions to bait the fox traps
and gather the foxes.
All these pursuits, with the work OF
building and repairing sleds, making
dog harness and shaping new winter
clothing, kept up a lively interest
while the great crust which was to
bold down the unruly deep for 30
many months thickened and closed.
Last Glimpse Of the Dying Day.
During. the last days Of brief sun
shine the weather cleared, and at
noon on Oct. "a everybody sought the
freedom of the open for last glimpse
of the dying day. There was a charm
of color and glitter. but no one SEEM
ed quite happy as the sun sank under
the southern ice. for 1t was not to rise
again for 11s days.
The Eskimos took this as signal to
enter a trance of sadness. In which

the discomforts Of the year ire enact.

How He made a cuddis.-A gentle
man went into pipemaker's shop
with the intention of seeing the meth
cd of making pipes. The proprietor,
who was a Scotchman, had arrived
from Edinburgh a few weeks ago.
When the Philadelphian got In the
shop he found only boy back Of the
counter, so without more ado he thus
addressed him:

fancy; but men never believe anything

"Confound you, Hilda!" cried the
general, what the deuce do you mean?
Il won't listen to you! I forbid you

Miss Burr darted look Of fiery scorn
at the old soldier.
Arthur has my best wishes for his
happiness" she said, stif1y; but in its
foundation I have no faith whatever.
You will find that creature is not what
she seems-you will, indeed"
"Bah!" answered the general.
In the deep window, her face shining
like a star among its flowers. stood
Paulette. with Arthur Guilte's tall shad-
ow darkening across her.
Il must count myself doubly happy"
he was murmuring, with a fervid look,
"in knowing that mine is the first name
written on your heart. A woman's first
love is her best love-"
She colored family and half withdrew
her hand from his. would you love
me the less" she asked, IF you knew I
had cared for some other before you?"
Perhaps not; but much prefer you
as you are-my little girl, fresh from
prim st. Catharine's, where love Is not

have a memory Of that kind between
u.s."
AS he said this, standing there, the
born lord of lands and gold, her mas
ter, looking at her with his dark, stern
Guilte eyes, an indefinable fear crept
like marsh mist over Paulette.
"And you," she said, with little en-
barrassed laugh, have you no confess
sion to make-are there no ghosts in
your closets?" ...
Like some image in bronze, he leaned
against the sash, the moonlight falling
on his handsome figure.
None, Paulette!" he answered.; you
are the first, the only woman I ever
loved!"
Possible, after all your far, foreign
Oh, Arthur! Did you never
care for any one the least bit?"

She looks strangely sad.

II am yours I do not know as I can

"A week after, Hilda Burr penned
letter to Mr.. George Trent, of which the
following is an extract:

is betrothed to the generals ward, and
great is the generals rejoicing thereat.
You will be glad to learn that Paulette-

there never was such pair Of lovers!

RAD|UM TUBE LOST

Paris, Aug. 17.-Paris is excited over
one of the most curious cases of loss
ever known. A gentleman left on on
seat in an omnibus tiny package
valued at $1,000 The popularity of the
package is that it will injure for life
the person who picks it up and opens
it, being a tube containing salts Of
radium
Although one-sixtieth of a grain, it's
emanations are sufficient to cause fear
full and incurable wounds The fate
of the finder who looks into the tube
which is the size of cigarette Is eer-
tain.
No Internal machine was ever so
frantically sought as this tiny tube by
the Paris police. All the omnibuses
were searched and swept. and urgent
warnings were posted in public places.
The newspapers united in advertising
notice to the finder not touch it.
Nearly a week has now passed since
the packet disappeared. Hope of it's
immediate recovery is about abandon
ed. The imagination of fiction writer
might find thrilling field in depict
ing the adventures of the mysterious
fatal tube, should it turn up in years
to come, in a series of fearful works of
mischief and terror.

Old Method of Holding Chau-
tauqua Meetings in Tent
Is 0utgroWn.
$4,000 PROBABLE COST
ALREADY THERE Is DEPOSITED
WITH CITY TREASURER $4,000
WHICH COULD BE USED FOR I'M
PRovRMENT.

For the past three years there has
been considerable talk of erecting a
permanent pavilion at the Glen for the
chautauqua. The big tent on the
grounds has never been large enough
to accommodate the great crowds
which annually attend the sessions
and in case of rainy weather its in
sufficient needs become painfully ap-
parent. It is asserted that a pavilion
can be built for $4,000, $4,000 of this
amount has been placed in the hands
OF the city treasurer and represents
the net earnings of the chautauqua
for the past three years. This money
has been set aside with the view of
erecting a permanent pavilion, for the
need of such a building and the ad-
visibility of a more radical change in
this particular is more clearly demon
strated each year, it is said.
A Suggested Plan.
It has been suggested that the city
advance the money so that the pavil-
Ton may be completed for the 1910
chautauqua but the matter will not be
given due consideration until the pro-
position of purchasing the Hawkins
grounds and holding the next chautau-
qua there, has been settled. The laws
of the state of Indiana do not permit
the chautauqua association to retain
the net earnings of the enterprise as
the chautauqua is held on public prop
erty. The proceeds are turned over
to the city and whatever action is to
be taken in the matter must be taken
by the city.
Promoters Of the chautauqua all
agree that permanent pavilion would
be a great boom for the chautauqua.
Not only would 1t furnish greater &C
commodations for the large crowds
which attend the affair but it could
be used throughout the year for con-
ventions and various kinds of enter
tainments. Also Sunday evening SER
vices could be held In the pavilion
by the different churches of the city.
1T is claimed that the money could
not be spent by the city for better
purpose or for anything from which
more benefit would be derived.

Some folks don't approve OF young
girls going into business, but what
could the poor baby do? She was just

model in front Of her parents home,
No. 2S4 State street, when handsome
stranger, whose speech was steadier
than his spokes, came along and
chucked her under the chin.
Il so happened that Adde'S papa
and mamma had just left her the lat

the former going into cigar store to
get q rocket. Despite her tender
months Addie took chance and fhrt-
ed with her admirers. She clappad her
hands and kicked up her heels In the
most unladylike manner. When her
new found friend found out that she
had been left alone his indignation
knew no bounds.
'-The idea OF leaving a pretty little
girl like this on the street." he was
heard to remark. "Her folks don't
deserve to have such a little beauty.
Tell you what we'll do kid. Let's you
and I 60 and have smile together"
Addie couldn't object II she wanted
to, and even II she did no one could
understand her. but she didn't. SO
when her new chauffeur threw on the
power and started her on her way,
bsnding over every few feet to rub a
rough hand under her chin, she crowed

prised when they saw the man wheel
