child. Could few years make such
difference? And did che really
care?
Surely no one needed a friend
more than Jim. In his new life he
was alone. Miles of level prairie
stretched between him and his near
est neighbor. His only companion
was dog, cur of the commonest
kind which had followed him to his
new home. The fire was burning
low, so rising he threw fresh fuel up
on the glowing Goals, then drawing
the empty box, which served as a
camp stool, up to the rudely con-
structed table he siezed pencil and
paper and wrote:
1 am lonely, and need friend. "
He paused here and for moment
sat in silence. 1t seemed as if he
had told the whole story in these
few words, so signing the paper he
folded it neatly, placed it in an en-
velope, picked up his hat and went
out into the night.
A few minutes later found Jim
riding his only saddle pony toward
the nearest postoffice, nearly ten
miles distant. AS he rode along, he
did not mind the crisp night air,
but giving his pony free reign aban-
doned himself to reflection. AS his
thoughts on this occasion could be
4 of little interest 10 the reader, we
will leave him and proceed the let

i Eva Starr was an orphan girl.
Her father. a wealthy physician, had
died some two years before, leaving
her the bulk of his fortune, an hon

sympathy of the entire community
Her mother had been dead for many

Ad1ersity Conquered.
By Young Steady.

James Lee brushed the ashes from
the end of his cigar and sat gazing
into the open fireplace. For a NOM
ent he thought hard, then slowly
his eyes wandered back to the cause
of his meditation. "a faint smile lit
up his features as he gazed at the
letter before him, but it soon faded
away and in it's place came half
frightened look and again he seemed
to lose himself in thought. The del
icately-written signature arrested
his attention; again he ..smiled, but
this time more family, as he read
the name, Eva Starr. = The name
told him nothing, at least not what
he wished to know, the letter to
which the signature was affixed told
him little more.
James Lee, or happy Jim, as he
had once been known to his friends,
had moved to Western Canada few
months previous. There he had
taken a quarter section OF land and
undertaken the impossible task Of
forgetting the past. AndasJlm was
not without reason for wishing to
forget the past, as those acquainted
with his sudden departure from his
customary haunts in the eastern me-
tropolis could testify. And still,
Jim was was not bad, in fact he
could boast of as many good quail
ties as the average young man OF his
age, but he had been FOOLS b
and the result of his folly had given
him good reason for wishing to blot
from his memory the yearssgone by.
AS long as the secret had been his
own, Jim felt he could endure, but,
as is often the case, he found when
too late that even his best friend
could not respect the confidence he
had reposed in him. A few months
previous he had erred and the price
Of his folly had been his personal
liberty. Throughout the long months
of confinement he had endured the
tortures Of thousand deaths and
when at the close of that period he
returned to find a welcome warm
and true from his companions o1
former years, he again took hope
and a renewed determination to re
deem the past. And we'll he knew
that allmight have ended happily hat
he suppressed a desire to confide IL
his bosom friend. The chilly gaz'
with which his one-time companion
greeted him, the silence with whicl
his presence was recognized in thei
midst soon told him how poorly b.
had judged and how weak and con
ventional was the friendship he ha'
known. And then came the write
up in the daily papers, the Who'll
terrible story, but shamefully exag
gerated, he shuddered at the mem
ory of it all. Again his eyes sough
the open letter. He picked it u
and read it over once more:
Il have read the story, the shame
full lies. sympathize with you an
want to help you. / want to b
your friend"
Again he read the signature, Ev
Starr. His eyes no longer bore ths
puzzled look. He remembered no
and understood. But why shoul
she write to him, why should sf
care? 1t was against her uncle b
had committed the wrong whic
placed him in his present wretche
condition. He had not seen his en-
ployer's niece during all the viii
he had been in his service. He ha
heard her spoken of, always as

girl and succeeded to the extent of
winning the undying love and con-
fdence of her little charge. As the
years went by this love grew more
mutual and endearing and after her
marriage there was no more frequent
and welcome visitor at her new home
than Eva. There were no secrets
between the two. Each knew the
others SORROWS and shared the 9th
er's joys. Thus it happened that
when the heart of the girl was
touched with sympathy for the un-
faithful servant, her old-time friend
was the first to console her and when
after many months the entire matter
was again reviewd in the daily papers
Eva was hastely summoned to the
friends house where together they
read every word. The letter above
mentioned was the result. Impul-
sive though the act was it came from
heart too tender to be false and
was prompted by motives as worthy
as they were generous. The letter
had been addressed to prominent
club in the city, from which it was
forwarded and in due time received,
as we have already seen. Moreov-
er, the letter had not borne the ad-
dress of the writer, but of her friend.
Quietly and uneventfully the days
sped by and at last came the reply.
Short though it was, it spoke vol
umes; told of life that was desolate
and best OF all made her feel her
motives had not been misunderstood.
The returning mail carried reply,
full of encouragement, sympathy and
good wishes. It was accompanied
by few good books, the sender's
dearest treasures. Thus was started
friendship that as time went by
grew warm and cherished. Eva's
visits to her friends home grew
more frequent and of longer dura-
ton. Together they used. to plan
how best to cheer the life of their
absent friend, in whom they both
felt the same warm interest. At no
time did Jim speak of the future,
while the past to him was closed
book. He made no excuse for his
folly and although he asked no SYM
pathy in his present condition it was
plain that he greatly appreciated the
kindness of his little friend. AT
length there came a letter, a little
longer than usual, that seemed to
find it's inspiration beyond the mar
row confines of the writer. After
reading the letter carefully, Eva re-
turned home intending to answer il
the same evening. This was the
first time she had ever permitted
one of his letters to enter her uncle's
home, nor would she have done sc
on this occasion were it not for the
fact that he was, absent from the city
on business. The evening mea
over, she again read the letter an6
after laying it to one side began tt
pen an answer. A certain distinc
reserve guarded every word. Ifshe
too, had come to think more serious

fact we'll. To her, he was the
, same object of sympathy.
