He paused for breath. and the aspi-

Yes. sir; I swore to be revenged.

BROTHERS,
The Love That Kept One and
Drove the Other Away.
BY OSCAR GRUENDER.


copyright. 1905. by Associated Literary
Press.I
Two brothers in love with one and
the same girl, three hearts fired with
the divine passion, three souls strug-
CLING with the agony of love and hope
and fear-this was the horrible di.
lemma that fettered John and Dick
Cummings and the beautiful, bewitch-
ing Edith Stearn.
For months it had been brewing
this immense struggle of hearts. And
yet Oh the surface there was not a rip
pie. The brothers Wed desperately. but
good naturally. Their companionship
was not strained; it suffered no spas
modic fits of jealousy or anger. The
most exemplary good fellowship pre-
vailed, but somewhere in that good
fellowship there lurked the SILENT ir-
repressible cCffict.
And John and Dick knew it. They
felt it. Nevertheless the subject was
never preached. Each in bis own way
sought to win the laurels Of love. like

one, only one. could win.
The climax came suddenly and IN
expectedly. John had come upon them

ground. and her attitude was pensive.

Why Skat Is.

Years ago in Germany the people
who played cards divided the pic
lures into three sections, the kings
queens and bauern (farmers) or what
we now term the Jacks. Back as far
as 1885 lawyer Of Altenburg, who
was also a student of "taroc," card
game Of those times, conceived an
other game, which is now called skat
In the new game he placed the bau-
ern or bowers above the royalty and
it so pleased the farming element at
that time that skat was adopted as
the national game. It was only g
short time after the lawyer invented
the new game that the rebellion OF
1S49 took place and it is quite rea.
sonable to suppose that the idea O.
making the bauern rule over the rep
resentatives of royalty appealed to
