THE DISPOSSESSED HEART
Fair Mabel had a dainty waist,
A triumph of the fashions art,
But, ah, so tightly was it laced
There wasn't room for Mabel's
heart.
The hapless heart was in despair;
Il must beat somewhere I believe
I've heard a pretty girl will wear
Her heart sometimes upon her
sleeve
But Mabel's sleeve clung like skin
To Mabel's softlyTounded arm
The beating heart could not squeeze
in.
1t looked about in vague alarm:
"Well, WE'LL | must try other routes.
OF timid maids I've heard it said,
Often their hearts are in their boots
And downward then it quickly sped.
"Ah, this place." said the heart, Il
choose"
Alas, it found no room to beat
The little patent-leather shoes
So snugly fitted Mabel's feet
Now, through deep fear the poor heart
smote,
1t thought: Sometimes a girl cant
sing
Because her heart is in her throat;
! do believe that's just the thing"
To Mabel's lovely throat it stole,
But once again-poor, luckless
wight
It failed to reach its longed-for goal
Her collar was so high and tight,
The desperate heart, despairing, sigh
ed,
There's no place left but Mabel's
hat.
Aha I'm saved" with joy it cried
For there was lots of room on that,

A very charming compliment TO

rooms and hall and was most artisti-

Hearts were used as a decorative mo-

color scheme. In the parlor, pink
hearts were riotous and ferns and
palms gave pleasing touch of green.

ting dungeon walls struck In his face;
it remained with him as he stood
swaying in the thick gloom-the voice
rumbling in his ears, the words beat
ing against his brain until the shock
of them sickened him, until he stretch
ed out his arms and there fell from
him such a cry as had never tor
tured his lips before.
Strang was alive! He had left the
spark of life in him. and the woman
who loved him had famed it back into
full fame.
strang was alive! And Marion
Marion was his wife!
The voice of the king tainted him
from the black chaos that hid the
dungeon walls. The words struck at
him, filling his head with shooting
pain, and he tottered back and sank
to the ground to get away from them.
They followed, and that vengeful leer
of the king was behind them, urging
them on, until they beat his face into
the sticky earth, and smothered him
into what he thought. was death.
There came rest after that, a long
| silent rest. When Nathaniel slowly
climbed up out Of the ebon shadows
again the first consciousness that
came to him was that the word.demons
had stopped their beating against his
brain and that he no longer heard
the voice of the king. His relief was
so great that he breathed a restful
sigh. Something touched him then
| Great God! were they coming back:
Were they still there-waiting-wait
ing
It was a wonderfully familiar voice
that spoke to him.
Hello there, Nat! Went a drink
He gulped eagerly at the cool liquit
that touched his lips.
Nell he whispered.
It's me, Nat. They chucked me IL
with you. Hells hole, isn't it,"
Nathaniel sat up. Neirs strong arm

at his back. There was a light in the
room now and he could see his COM
~panion's face, smiling at him encour-
agingly. The sight of it was like an
elixir to him. He drank again and
new life coursed through him.
"Yes-hell of a hole!" he repeated
drowsily. Sorry for you-Neil-"
and he seemed to sleep again.
Neil laughed as he wiped his COM
panion's face with a wet cloth.
I'm used to it. Nat. Been here be-
FORE" he said. Can you get up?
There's a bench over here-not long
enough to stretch you out on or l
would have made you a bed of it, but
it's better than this mud to sit on"
He put his arms about Nathaniel
and helped him to his feet. For a few
moments the wounded man stood with
out moving.
I'm not very bad. l guess" he said,
taking a slow step. Where is the
seat, Neil? I'm going to walk to it.
What sort of a bump have l got on the
head?"
Nothing much" assured Neil.
Suspicious, though" he grinned
cheerfully. Looks as though you
were running and somebody came up
and tapped you from behind!"
Nathaniel's strength returned to
him quickly. The pain had gone from
his head and his eyes no longer hurt
him. In the dim ~candle-light he could
distinguish the four walls Of the dun
| geon. glistening with the watsR and
mold that reeked from between their
rotting logs. The floor was Of wet
| sticky earth which chung to his boots

Strang Was Alive.

came to the streets Of the town, and
in a half conscious sort of way he
cursed at the rabble trailing at their
heels. They passed close to the tenn
pie, dirt and blood and a burning tor
ment shutting the vision OF it from his
eyes, and beyond this there was an
other crowd. An aisle opened for
them, as it had opened for others
ahead of them. In front of the Jail
they stopped. Nathaniels head hung
heavily upon his breast and he made
no effort to raise it. All ambition and
desire had left him, all desire but one,
and that was to drop upon the ground
and lie there for endless, restful years.
A voice dragged him back into life
"a voice that doomed in his ears like
rolling thunder and set every fiber
in him %quivering with emotion. He
drew himself erect with the involun-
tary strength of one mastering the
last spasm Of death and as they
dragged him through the door he saw
there within an arms reach of him
the great, living face of Strang, gloat-
ing at him as if from out of a mist
red eyed, white fanged, flled with the
vengefulness of a beast.
The great voice rumbled in his ears
again.
Take that man to the %dungeon!"

up!" He spoke the words loudly.
Then quickly dropping his voice to q
whisper he added: For Gods sake
don't betray her! They saw her with
us-everybody knows that it was the
kings wife with you'll"
The kings wife! Nathaniel was
too weak to analyze the words beyond
the fact that they carried the dread
truth of his fears deep into his soul.
Who would have come to him but
Marion? Who else would have kissed
him? It was her voice that had
whispered in his ear-the thrill of her
hand that had passed over his face.
And this mar had said hat she was
the wife of the king! He heard the
voices of other men near him but did
not understand what they were say
ing. He knew that after a moment
there was a man on each side of him
holding him by the arms, and me
chemically he moved his legs, knowing
that they wanted him to walk. They
did not guess how weak he was-how
he struggled to keep from becoming
too great a weight on their hands.
Once or twice they stopped in their
agonizing climb up the hill. On it's
top the cool sea air swept into Ma
| thaniel's face and it was like water to
a parched throat.
After a time-it seemed a day of
terrible work and pain to him-they

and the air that he preathed filled his
nostrils and throat with the uncom-
Portable thickness of a night fog at
sea. Through it the candle burned in
a misty halo. Near the candle, which
stood on q shelf-like table against one
of the walls, was a big dish which
caught Nathaniel's eyes.
whats that?" he asked, pointing
toward it.
Grub" replied Neil. Hungry"
He went to the table and got the
plate Of food. There were chunks OF
boiled meat, unbuttered bread and
cold potatoes. For several minutes
they ate in silence. Now that Ma
thaniel was himself again Neil could
no longer keep up his forced spirits.
Both realized that they had played
their game and that it had ended in
defeat. And each believed that it was
his individual power to alleviate to
some extent the others misery. To
Neil what was ahead Of them held no
mystery. A few hours more and then
death. 1t was only the form in
which it would come that troubled
him, that made him think. Usually
the victims of this dungeon cell were
shot. Sometimes they were hanged.
But why tell Nathaniel? So he ate
his meat and bread without words,
waiting for the other to speak, as the
other waited for him. And Nathaniel,
on his part, kept to himself the secret
of Marion's fate. After they had done
with the meat and the bread and the
cold potatoes he pulled out his be-
loved pipe and filled it with the last
scraps Of his tobacco, and as the
fumes of it clouded round his head.
soothing him in its old friendship. he
told of his fight with Strang and his
killing of Arbor Croche.
I'm glad for Winnsome's sake"
said Neil, after a moment. "Oh. ii
you'd only killed Strang!"
Nathaniel thought of what Marion
had said to him in the forest.
Neil" he said quietly, do you
know that Winnsome loves yOu-not
as the little girl whom you toted
about on your shoulders-but as a
woman? Do you know that?" In the
others silence he added: When l last
saw M-rion she sent this message tc
you-'Tell Neil that he must go, fol
Winnsome's sake. Tell him that hel
fate is shortly to be as cruel as mine
tell him that Winnsome loves him
and that she will escape and come te
him on the mainland" Like words
of fire they had burned themselves II
his brain and as Nathaniel repeated
them he thought of that other broker
heart that had sobbed out its anguish
to him in the castle chamber. "Neil
a man can die easier when he know
that a woman loves him!"
He had risen to his feet and wal
walking back and forth through tn
thick gloom.
I'm glad" Neil's voice came t.
him softly. as though he scarcel
dared to speak the words aloud. Afte
a moment he added: Have you go
a pencil, Nat? l would like to leav
a little note for Winnsome."
Nathaniel found both pencil an
paper in one of his pockets and Mel
dropped upon his knees in the mu
beside the table. Ten minutes late
he turned to Nathaniel and a grea
change had come into his face.

MENDING TROUSERS POCKETS
Mrs. BilItops Objects to the One In
genious Method That PIeases
Her Husband.

LAS some sage has remarked" said
Mr.. Billtops, the longer we lives the
more We finds out. You take, for in
stance, the mending of a trousers
pocket hat has a hole in it down at
the bottom, so that you are in danger
OF losing out of it your keys or your
pocket knife or such small change as
you may there carry.
Now 1 supposed there were just
three and no more. One way would
be to put a patch on it, another a
would be to cut of the bottom of the
pocket and sew on a new section, and
still another way would be to put In
an entire new pocket; but the tailor
to whom l took these trousers to be
fixed up has shown me a fourth way
that made me laugh for it's simplicity
and at the same time as l thought in
genuity.
He Just folded over the bottom Of
the pocket high enough up to cover
the hole, and then just stitched the
pocket across through the folded over
part and the main body of the pocket,
this you see something that could be
done in a minute and that at the same
time served it's purpose. I admired
it for its ingenuity and effectiveness,
but Mrs. Billtops doesn't look at it
as l do.
She a y that If it's a sloppy way
of mending a pocket, that it makes

CHAPTER IX.-Continued,

He felt the dash of the water in his |
face and it put new life into him. |
Somebody had raised him to q sitting
posture and was supporting him there
while a second person bound a cloth
about his head. He opened his eyes
and the light of day shot into them
like a singing, burning charge of
needle-points, and he closed them
again with a sharp cry of pain. That
seconds glance had shown him that
it was a woman who was binding his
head. He had not seen her face. Be-
yond her he had caught a half formed
vision Of many people and the glisten-
ing edge of the sea, and as he lay with
closed eyes the murmur of voices
came to him. The support at his back
was taken away, slowly, as if the per-
son who held him feared that he
would fall. Nathaniel stiffened him
self to show his returning strength
and opened his eyes again. This time
the pain was not so great. A few
yards away he saw a group of people
and among them were women; still
farther away, SO far that his brain
grew dizzy as he looked, there was a
black moving crowd. He was among
the wounded. The Mormon women
were here. Down there along the
shOre-among the dead-had assem-
bled the population of st. James.
A strange sickness overpowered him
and he sank back against his sup
porter. A cool hand passed over his
face. 1t was a soothing, gentle touch
the hand of the woman. He felt
the sweep of soft hair against his
cheek-a breath whispering in his
ear.
You will be better soon."
His heart stood still.
You will be better
Against his rough cheek there fell
the soft pressure Of a woman's lips.
Nathaniel pulled himself erect,
every drop of blood in him striving
for the mastery of his body, his vision,
his strength. He tried to turn, but
strong arms seized him from behind.
A mans Ole spoke to him, a mans
strength held him. In IN agony of ap-
peal MariOn's name burst from his
lips.
"Sh-h-!" warned the voice behind
him. Are you crazy"
The arms relaxed their hold and
Nathaniel dragged himself to his
knees. The woman was gone. AS far
as he could see there were people
scores of them, hundreds of them
multiplied into thousands and millions
as he looked, until there was only a
black cloud about him. He staggered
to his feet and a strong hand kept him
from falling while his brain slowly
cleared. The millions and thousands
and hundreds of people dissolved
themselves into the day until only q
handful was left where he had seer
multitudes. He turned his face weak
ly to the man beside him.
where did she co." he asked.
1t was a boyish face into which his
pleading yes gazed, a face white with
the strain of battle, Redeemed a little
on one cheek with a smear of blood
and there was a startled, frightened
look in it that did not come of the
strife that had passed.
