CHAPTER V.

The child is so young; she scarcely
knows her own mind. All this is so sud
den. / think you should have spoken to
me first"
1t was thus that Lady Gwendolen
Haviland received the astounding news
of what had passed between her niece
and Galbraith.
lie was clever fellow. and could piav
any part. That of penitent came easily
to him. He acknowledged that he had
done wrong, but it was love that had
intoxicated him-love for this paragon
among girls, this priceless gem that his
aunt guarded so carefully. He had been
carried beyond himself by it. Lady
Gwendolin hesitated, only half convinced.
There is no real marriage, no union
worthy of the name, but a love mar
riage," Galbraith ventured softly, per
suasively, afraid of going beyond bounds.
and yet convinced that it was time to
play his trump card. He knew that the
lady whom he addressed was inclined to
be romantic. 1t was through this feature
in her character that he could best an
peal to her. He watched her narrowly.
She sat there thinking, as he sur1nised.

into against her own desire, to satisfy
ambitious parents She had not been
left free to make her own ehoce. and she
had suffered. Her niece should fare bet
ter.
Iii shall marry him whom she loves"
she said, her cheeks flushing like girls.
She did not know of Galbraith's debts
and embarrassments, or of his need for
a rich wife. To suspect the purity of
his motives did not occur to her for q
moment.
So it was all settled, and Lillian Lau-
riston, at 171a years old, found herself
engaged. 1t was new, and, as it APP
peared to her, a very dignifed position.
1t placed her head and shoulders above
other girls of the same age; it brought
with it fresh excitement every day. Gal
braith saw to that.

She is a mighty clever actress, and
something of a playwright, too. At
least, she wrote play not long ago
that was good enough to be produced
and while it was taken off the road for
repairs it's going back again, the New
York correspondent of the Cincinnati
Times-Star writes. In the meantime
the actress had blown in all her money,
had no job and it began to look as
though she would have to turn a neat
and modest stunt of panhandling. The
fiat rent was due, the butcher had be-
gun to forget her orders, and the case
looked desperate all around few
days ago visitors to her apartments
found card tackled on the door: "Gone
south for brief rest" So every one re-
joiced. And the fact got into the pa
pers that make speciality of theatrical
news. And one used her picture in a
highly alluring low-necked gown. And
the man who was putting on her play
asked all her friends for her address.
He wanted her consent TO few
changes. And no one knew where she
had disappeared TO. But there are two
or three In the secret now. For the 9TH
er day young matron happened into
department store and was attracted by
the demonstration of new-fangled cof-
fee pot. Having always murdered the
Arabian berry, she liked the new plan
of assassination proposed. She watch
ed the demonstrators deft hands as the
latter filled the pot, and took out the
completed article, and poured 1t in dam
ty little cups. And she might never
have noticed the demonstration herself
until the latter got mixed in her cues.
And at last gave it up altogether, and
burst out petulantly. "Well, is this a
Joke or an insult?"
And there was the missing play
wright. IL had to do 1t or starve,n
said she, with laugh but don't give
me away. I'm supposed to be a piazza

He took the little hands that fiuttered
out to meet his, and held them tightly,
but he did not answer His silence made
her look at him. She hardly knew what

on her knees, crying softly

She looked away from him, with
little sigh, out to the west where the sun
had set. The glory had faded quite
away; Billy had also found this out.

CHAPTER Iu-Continned


She was about to run away from him,
but he held her fast.
Where are you going to stow me to-
morrow evening when the fun comes
off 2" he asked.
He was eager and amused at the
thought of bit of mischief. She could
hardly help being SO also. 1t would be
a bit of fun, after all, to have Billy
safely Gagged, to let him hear her triumph
while Kenneth Galbraith made love in
his best fashion. Then, afterwards, she
would go to him and say, what have
you to say for yourself now, William
Daryll?" And he would beg her pardon
most particularly humbly.
She had the programme well arranged
She was to meet her cousin in the rose
walk. Billy could be hidden in the lit
tie Toulouse, could peep through the
trellised window, could see and hear. 1t
was quite easy.
The two went together and inspected
the spot, made their plans, and in MAX
ing them forgot they had a grievance
against each other. 1t did not occur to
Billy to ask her what answer she would
give to the anticipated proposal. lii
herself had not taken the subject into
consideration. That Billy should be con-
WINGED, that Billy should humbly apollo
gize, was her aim and end
"You will go down on your knees and
beg my pardon afterwards" she said.
"You little duffer, there will be no
need of that!" said Billy, as he showed
symptoms of wishing to laugh again.
"If you find you are in the wrong you
viii beg my pardon on your Bonded
knees" she persisted.
"On my honor, will"
They were almost friends again, when
Galbraith, weary of waiting, lounged
down the long walk, calling to Lillian.

asked.
"If you give him one I'll insult him %
whispered Billy in the girls ear.
"You shall have one tomorrow" STAN
mered Lii.
Tomorrow" he murmurad, drawing
her aside, and Daryl could see his lam
gushing glance. Until then, adieu"
Billy leapt the low fence that sep
arated this part of the Chase grounds
from the road, and they could hear him
whistling in pronounced manner as he
walked homewards. With him there
went, for Lii, the amusement of the sit
uation. 1t had been dull enough in the
drawing room with Galbraith, with no
one to watch her, no one at hand to
tease. She yawned.
"You are tired" said Galbraith.
$50 sleepy!"
Dear little grill"
He stopped and raised her hand to his
lips. She wanted to laugh then, but she
reflected that it was not thus that the
heroine in novels behaved So she smiled
sweetly.

and Soil Fertility.
The real loss is far greater than any
estimate shows, based upon the amount
Of timber consumed and the value of the
property of the settler and the houses
and improvements of villages and towns
The greatest loss, probably, is one that
is never taken into accountable loss of
young trees and the loss in humus.
After one Of these terrible confagra-
tons have swept over timber sashing
rot living thing of vegetation is left.
Nature has TO begin again the work of
furnishing protection for the naked
earth; years must elapse before the
traces of the dreary desolatiou are hid

his home upon the ashes is without ma
terial for building or fencing, and soon
he is without material for living except
what he buys.
But the loss Of humus is q far greater
loss. The vegetable matter so abundant
on the surface Of the soil in 4 new coun-

soil with all that is contains is turned
into ashes. For two or three years good
crops may follow because of the abund-

CHAPTER ".

Billy was watching the sun set, and
wondering at himself for not having
done so more frequently before. since
there was so great a glory of red and
gold, when Lii came down the rose walk
Then he forgot all about the beauties OF
nature, and looked at her instead For
the first time in his life he noted that
she too was beautiful He seemed to see
her with new eyes; something had awak-
ened within him-he was neither happy
nor unhappy, he was merely very much
surprised. How was it that his heart
beat with such a quickening impulse ?
How was it that the warm blood rose to
his cheek? How was it that his voice
shook when he called to her?
I'm nice and snug in here!" he cried
Got box all to myself to see the
play!"
''Hush" She held up her finger warn
ngly, shook it at him, and looked de-
lightfully mysterious. Here was Gal

After that, as Billy would have put it,
"the fun began"
a little later he was wondering where
the fun came in. 1t had been fine Joke
to listen to Galbraith making an ass of
himself, telling Lii how sweet she was,
and the rest; but when it came to kiss

different as it became clear to the Young

matter. 1t was worth going through the
ordeal only to hear what Lii would say
10 her cousin now, to punish him for his
lmpertinence. What a gigantic fool he
was making of himself to be sure, while
she stood, half smiling, with excitement
IN her eyes, and her lips trembling! He

die, then. So much the better! Billy

Friday evening of last week
Theodore Amrhein shot Ben
Mccoy in the stomach with a
pistol at Battle, on the Clinton

Amrhein surrendered to the

about some crOssties. Mccoy

pistol and shot Mccoy.
