the land he set san for the shore The
fourth day he came back. Aurora and
the lighthouse keeper saw him from
affair He was silent, for ne feared the
answer he felt she would give him TO
his question. At last he said:
when will We meet again.
Never" she whispered.
Then I can't let you go"
you must You know that as well
as 1 do Ny mother would never let
me stay here. And where should we
meet?"
Hot anger darkened his face and his
fists cIenched She gave a cry Of fear.
He laughed.
But she said simply:
1T is the savage in you that scares
me, but I am not afraid Of death. Take
me into your arms and jump into the
sea. 1 shall close my eyes and cling
to you. But you have to decide quick
ly. There is the boat"
1t was evident she meant what she
said, but he dared not.
A few moments later the boat took
her back. She never looked back to-
wards the island.
The months flew by. Again the gay
social season made StockhoIm a city
of enchantment. Again Aurora was
the center of attraction. But she was
sadly chan ged. No longer did she care
for the pleasures of a gay life. Her
mother was distracted.
At last the baroness chose a husband
for her and insisted that she marry,
thinking that the excitement OF the
marriage would dispell the cloud of
gloom that had darkened her nature.
Preparations were made for, the nup-
tials. The trousseau was ordered, the
carriage arrived-but the beautiful Au-
dora was missing.
The baroness was driven to distrac-
tion. Search was made everywhere,
but she could not be found. The door
bell rang and a messenger appeared
bearing a telegram. The baroness tore
ii open and read:
Il have given up all for him whom
1 love. In the future 1 reside in the
gray lighthouse by the sea.

"How dared you keep her here?"
II loved her." was his simple an
swer
The wind had increased in strength
and 1t was difficult to keep the boat
from being smashed against the
rocks. The fisherman entered to say
they must return at once, if at all
that day.
The lighthouse keeper looked
through the window.

But what are we to dog" asked
Aurora, turning pale.

NO. but it is impossible. Mother

go back. Come. let us start imme-
diately," she said to the fisherman.
She threw her rug across her, Shout
der and went outside. The two men
followed her.
The horizon was black and the wind
was bowling furiously. The waves
were throwing their white spray all
over the island.
There is q cove on the other side

fisherman. II will look after the lady

He put his heavy hand on her shoul-

came upon her. She almost felt as If

They entered the house in silence.

he said. not a very comfortable one.

to Offer
He opened a cupboard and put a
basket OF provisions on the table.
Then he left her, after giving her
some books. But she could not read.
She was thinking Why should there
be a chasm between her and this
man? Why was he not her equal?
Because she was a lady OF noble
birth and he a plain lighthouse keep
er. Of what value was her birth
and education on this little shell OF
an island. separated from all the
world by a roaring sea? Here they
were nothing but a man and a wo-
man, and the house was their COM
mon shelter against the elements.
And as long as the storm lasted she
was far more poor and weak than
he. Everything here was his, she was
his guest, nothing more
The storm lasted for three days and
nights. In the morning Of the second

impression upon her.
He was tall, had large eyes and an
expression Of tenderness about his

with the almost brutal force Of his

= = time lost in counting her.
Shades of romeol Think of Of lover
with time card in his hand, punching
up the hours and minutes that he spent
in murmuring sweet nothings into
shell-like ear, and holding her hand in
his lily-white hand, and then assessing
the value of those same enhancing mo-
ments in cold, hard cash.
There are things in this world so JOY
Gus that they are their own reward, ana
love-making heads this list. To de-
mand a monetary consideration for the
time consumed in kiss is surely gild-
ing the lily and painting the rose with
a vengeance.
Nevertheless this ungallant suit
raises an interesting question Is the
time a man spends in counting a wo-
man-when he doesn't get her-lost
time?

poets declaration: MY only books
were wonens looks, and OIL all
they've taught me-" But this was the
pessimistic view of the man, doubtless
recovering from the pangs Of un-
requited love.
It's : Liberal Education.
AS a matter of fact, to love woman
is a liberal education in itself; and to
court one is equal to course at col
lege This is without reference to the
sentiments of the woman; for chief
among women who have helped men are
those women who have refused to
marry them.
To begin with, courtship is the first
aid to civilization with man. If there
were no women in the world men
would still be going about clothed in
blankets and with the aboriginal
growth. of hair upon their faces. The
first time a little boy voluntarily
washes behind his ears marks the be-
ginning OF his first wooing.
A man never cares how he looks un-
til he sees himself in the mirror OF
some woman's eye; and, when he does,
he begins to get busy with the barber
and tailor and haberdasher, and assumes
what he thinks is a dashing and kill
ing air.
1t is the courtship of woman that
has raised man up from the savage to
the elegant creature we see depicted
in the clothing advertisements in the
fronts of the magazines; and to say
that this time has been wasted is TO
give the double cross to human pro-
gress.

And, besides all this happened
nine years ago, and what hap
pened nine years ago doesn't mat
ter. The statute of limitations
prevents our being punished for
anything we may have done ex-

Allowing all that, the fact re-
mains that these men, who admit
they did control the food of the
people nine years ago, were quite
ready and willing to engage in
any kind of polite business
burglary.
These men cannot deny they
dominate the industry today.
They have admitted that they
controlled the industry prior to
1902 by the old ''P. o. Box 247''
pool. They have admitted that
in 1902 they bought up every for
midable competitor. They have
admitted they merged these abb
sorbed competitors in the Nation
al Packing company, which they
have controlled ever since.
And these men, who calmly
admit they tried to pull off one
of the biggest and most nefari-
