INHERENT LOVE OF THE SOIL.
Characteristic That Is the Most Deep.
Iy Planted in Mortals.

The first man was a gardener, we
are told. Certain it is that the first
men were tillers of the soil, after they
ceased to be wandering warriors.
That is where we get our love Of ma
ture, declares writer in the Kansas
City Journal. That is why We build
parks and have flowers clambering
about our premises. That is why we
are strangely at peace when we get
out into the mountains and lose our
selves among the fragrant woods.
That is why we loathe at times the
smell of paint that is on civilization
and long for the perfume of the life
that is close to the green leaves and
the wild flowers. That is why we are
so happy when we camp out and why
we are so reluctant to return. That Is
why our earliest recollections of the
"old farm are the sweetest and ten
derest of our lives. That is why we
back to nature" and all that-when
somebody is around-and why we
know, away down in our hearts, that
the simple life is the life most worth
living and that we cannot get close
to anything sweeter or purer than ma
and daughters we are, from whom we
may wander far, but to whom we re-
turn as prodigals, finding the prodi-
gals welcome and the prodigal's
peace

Murder and Suicide.

Denver.-Tuesday afternoon in an
apartment house on Lincoln avenue,
Thomas j. Halstead shot and killed
Mrs. George Elliott. who had been
known in Denver as the wife of Ray
c. Watson, a prominent young bust
ness man of Greeley, Colo. over the
telephone, Harry Nugent. an acquaint-
ance of the woman, heard the shot
that killed her, at the hands of a
jealous lover, and still clinging to the
receiver he heard the murdered
woman's sister cry out and then sec
ond later the crash of the shot with
which the murderer blew out his
brains. Both of the victims died at
st. Joseph's hospital about midnight.

And she was gone, flying along the
field, with a white mantle streaming
after her, and her flight as rapid as the
swallows in spring.

tion; our letters would precede us.
giving positive assurances of hope;
and we looked for no accidents having
new and strong chaise.
After Sir Peter had told me his
story, I told him mine about Lady
Arabella and Overton. He was not
much imbued with the kind of religion
that Overton preached, although he
swore roundly by church and state,
and was always a great churchman
when he was slightly in liquor, which
did not happen often. He therefore
condemned Overton's sermon, which
| tried to repeat to him, as damned,
beastly low sort of religion. unfit for a
gentleman to practice; but he ad-
mitted that Overton lacked neither
brains nor courage. For Lady Ara
bella, though, he had the stern disap-
proval of an honest heart, and in his
excitement swore both long and loud
because of the short-sightedness of
Providence in permitting such women
to exist for the undong OF his maj
esty's officers OF both services.
We made good progress that night
and the next day, which was Monday,
and began to have strong hopes of
reaching York "Wednesday night. But
on Monday, in the afternoon, the
weather suddenly changed, violent
sLowstorm set in, and our postboys
willfully, | think drove us ten miles
out of the way, near a tavern where
they hoped. no doubt, we would agree
to stop until the storm should be over.
But Sir Peter, putting one of his great
horse-pistols to the postboy's head,
forced him to turn back to the high
road. We lost three hours by this;
and when we got to our next posting
stage, our horses, engaged two days
ahead, had been taken. We got others,
after frantic effort, but at the end
of that days journey we saw our mar
gin OF time diminished exactly one
half.
shall not attempt to describe the
fierce and gnawing impatience which
consumed us. nor the awful and I'M
spoken dread which began to over
shadow us. Sir Peter was a man of
stout heart. and had no more notion
of giving up at this stage of the affair
than he dreamed of surrendering
when he saw the incompatible to
windward and the Xantippe to lee
ward.
The weather. however, grew worse
instead of better. and even four horses
could scarcely drag US through the

CHAPTER x.-continued.
Arabella turned pale, and replied:

Arabella turned pale, and replied:
Il was summoned as witness. l
was obliged to testify"
Overton said nothing. Then Sir
Thomas. taking snuff with his usual
grace. remarked:
Il listened with attention to one law
breaker praying for another lawbreak-
er. OF course, you know, this meeting
of yours is seditious-and many a man
has been stood in the pillory for it."
And one man." replied Overton,
Jesus Christ, was crucified for it."
He turned, and with me, took the
path back to the tavern. l heard, as
we went on, an alteration behind me-
and involuntarily, after we had gone
some distance, l looked back. Lady
Arabella was struggling in the grasp
of Sir Thomas Vernon, while Mrs.
Whitall looked on, and wrung her
hands. Sir Thomas. however, was no
match for Arabella's young strength.
She broke away from him, and, run
ming after us, caught up, painting and
breathless, with us, as we entered the
little grove. And then | saw an almost
exact representation of the scene when
Giles Vernon had insanely and with
unmanly groveling and violence
pleaded with Arabella for her love-so
she pleaded with Philip Overton. She
held him by the arms, when he would
have thrown her off.
Philip. Philip" she cried. 81 did
1t for you! I determined to make you
rich, great, even if you refused my
fortune. Sir Thomas can not live long
Surely, you can not reproach me, if
all the world does. The stupid, stupid
world thinks | did it under the influ-
ence of Sir Thomas Vernon but no,
it was not hate for Giles Vernon, it
was my love for you, Philip Overton,
that made me appear at the York as
sizes"
Remember Yourself" said Overton
to her, sternly. Others besides your
self see your degradation"
1T is no degradation to love truly,
to love as l do. Speak but one word
to me, and l will become a Methodist
like yourself. ], too, will go among the
poor, and serve and love them; and |
will even love God for your sake!"
The awful grotesqueness of this,
the blasphemy of it, was altogether
unknown to her She continued wildly:
Does not my soul need saving as
much as those clods you have been
praying with"
you blaspheme!" replied Overton,
casting her off.
And, to make the resemblance be-
tween her own unwomanly conduct and
the unmanly conduct Of Giles Vernon
the more singular she recovered her
self, as he had done, in a single mo-
ment OF time. She laid her hand on
Overton's arm, and looked keenly into
his eyes. Her glance seemed to en-
chain him, and to set her free. She
breathed a long sigh, and, turning,
gazed about her, like person awaking
from nightmare. Then. with per-
feet self-possession, she dropped a
curtsey to us both, and said, in her
natural. playful manner:
"Mr. Overton, / see l have been
mistaken. l should have tried to cheat
the law by not appearing when I was
summoned; or, / should have testified
falsely. And for my indiscreet conduct
