Ellen Holmgren stood in tthe open
door Of a first class compartment anxi-
ously looking at the great clock in the
~concourse. Would the train never
start? Outside half a dozen friends
from the boarding school and two old
maiden aunts had gathered to see her
off. At last the conductor came,
slammed the door, gave a signal, and
slowly the train started, carrying her
away. Little by little 1t gathered
speed, passing by the little Klampen-
borg station, past the three lakes glim-
mering in the sunshine, past long rows
Of prosaic looking tenement houses.
then past suburban cottages without
number, and finally through fields Of
wheat, where busy hands were gath
ering the golden harvest. Ellen drew a
sigh of relief as she realized that the
great city of Copenhagen was left be-
hind. For days, yes, weeks, she had
looked forward to this, always afraid
that something might happen in the
last minute to hold her back.
She put her hand In her pocket to
feel If 1t really was there, the cherished
letter which she had read over and
over, until she knew it's every word
by heart. 1t had come Just the day
before; II was on her table in her little
room when she came back from the
academy, where she had taken her last
painting lesson. she a Immediately
recognized his firm, clear handwriting,
and still she had hesitated long before
she opened it, with a vague foreboding
that it contained something which
would decide her whole life.
AT last she took courage, tore the
cover open and ran her eyes rapidly
over the lines in which he told her Of
his love and begged her pardon that he
had not had the courage to tell her
when they met the last time, during
her Christmas vacation.
Il know l am a miserable coward"
he wrote. II have always been afraid
of speaking of my strongest feelings,
and now / must again ask your pardon
that / write you just before I know that
we will meet again, but l know that I
would never dare to speak. Ellen, I
low you'll have loved you from the very
first day we met in the garden of the
little parsonage, and when we parted
I thought / dared hope. If / was mis-
taken IN this please do not answer
me at all and l shall forever keep away
from. you, but if you think l am worthy
of you, If you feel that you dare link
your fate TO mine, just telegraph one
little word and / shall meet you at the
station, the happiest man in all Den
mark"
For a moment everything turned
black before her eyes and she sunk
down IN the lounge in her little room

more than 500 0 a year. But 1 feel
lonesome over there"
She was wondering why he told her
all this, and could see that he ex-
pected her TO say something, but she
remained silent, and with an expression
of surprise he settled back In his seat
and soon seemed to be exceedingly in
terested in an American paper.
Korsoer was reached. and they
boarded the large ferry for Nyborg, and
she did not see him until they entered
the train on the other side Store Belt.
when she found him occupying the seat
opposite her.
We'll" he said, "I think 1t is time
that / introduced myself. My name is
dward Brun, or Brown, as l call my
self in America, and you are Miss Eliza
beth Hansen"
No, there you are really mistaken.
My name is Ellen Holmgren."
He o at her in surprise at first,
i~ncredulously, as If he thought she was
making fun Of him, but when he saw
that she was in earnest an expression
of embarrassment came into his face
and he blushed deeply.
"Oh l beg you a thousand pardons,
madam. l saw the initials f. H. on
your grip and o you for some one
else. | hope you will forgive me when
L tell you everything. l. ndu put an al
vertisement in Politiken and / received
a number Of w many of them
evidently from educated refined girls.
Among all these the one from Miss
Elizabeth Hansen pleased me most"
" But really l do not understand
you"
well, you know sometimes one feels
so lonesome in the great foreign coun-
try and the thoughts fly back to the
old nome. AND her / thought that l
would try to find a girl, a good sincere
Danish girl, who would learn to love
me enough to follow me across the
ocean and whom l would strive to
make happy as she deserved. From the
very first / was struck with the letter
of Miss Hansen, and we agreed to meet
in Hamburg after we had correspondent
for three months. When l saw you
NJ cad the initials IN your grip I
thought that you might be Miss Han
sen and on your way to meet me, and
now l sincerely apologize for my be-
havior, which o must have found
very strange"
There was such an expression Of
deep sadness in his face that she read
lily forgave him, and to show that she
was not offended she tried to encourage
him to speak, but did not succeed and
they soon sat silent, both.
Her thoughts were strangely con-,
fused; she could not help liking the

No other medicine for woman's ills

qualified endorsement. Nc other med
icine we know of has such a record
of cures Of female ills as has Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than go years II has been
curing female complaints such as
inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumnrs, Irregularities,
periodic pains, bacKache, indigestion

TOO confused to think. But only a mo-
ment, then the fresh blood of youth
leaped back into her cheeks, and she
read the letter over and over, n for
every time it seemed more beautiful,
more manly and sincere TO her.
Forgetting that II was time to dress
for dinner, she hastily put on her hat
and coat and hurried to the telegraph
station. And her telegram contained
not the one Yes which he had asked
for, but three of them, with big excla-
nation points after each one, and with
trembling hand she had signed IL Your

She was deep In thoughts and never
noticed tina the train stopped at Ros-
kilde, the door was torn open and a
gentleman entered. Suddenly she felt
him looking at her. She looked UP. He
was tall, and something in his appear
ance told her he was a foreigner. His
features were clean cut and his firm
chin spoke of strength Of character.
She took a book from her grip and
tried to read, but soon felt his eyes rest
ing on her. She had to look up, and
met his glance, in which there was
just a suspicion of a smile.
Beautiful weather." he said.
"Oh, yes" she answered icily. She
was offended that he dared to speak to
her.
But he was not SO easily shaken off.
do you travel far?" he asked.
YES" she answered. Why should
sine tell MIN anything about going home
for her vacation. Let him think that
she was going abroad.
WELL" he said, IT am on a long trip
myself. Tonight I shall be IN Ham
burg, and tomorrow aboard the
Deutschland, bound for New York. oh.

boats are"
She was silent, and he continued:
II have been home to see my sister,
who lives near Roskilde. She is my
only relative here now. / have been In
America for ear and never beer
homesick until this spring when I felt
as IL / must again visit my old home.

with a smile.

handsome stranger, and against her
will the idea crossed her mind how
much more interesting II would be to-
travel out into the great world than to
become the wife of a poor young doc
tor In the little Danish town. She was
ashamed of her own thought and tried
TO think of the man whom she had
given her promise and whose love she
knew to be strong and true. From
time to time she looked at the Amer
lean, but he vas buried In his paper,
though he was evidently looking at the
same page n never once lifted his
eyes.
The train did not seem to make any
Roadway at all, but at last the sur
roundings became familiar. She could
soon see the tall linden trees around
the little rectory, where she was born.
and a few minutes afterward the train
slowed down and reached the depot at
Middelpart. She gathered her bag
gage and hastily scanned the platform
looking for the nan she knew was
awaiting her.
Soon she saw his tall, athletic form
and his dear face, with the faithful
blue eyes scanning every window In
the cars He had not discovered her
yet, but h tore open the door and
rushed into his arms, her face beam
ing with joy.

Ono Way of Dressing a Wife.

That's now my wife's fall hat;
Another one to Cora's smile
A dress she made of that.
NV wife is named Maria Ann
I'm fond OF her, 0, yes!
But can't u out a verse to her
That's suitable for dress.
Now, as she has a need for clothes,
For stockings, hats and shoes,

So dow / sit and writ all day
To Maud's and Fanny's curls;
And that's the way l dress my wife
