FINANCING THEIR BETRoTHAL.

God keep you safe, my little love.
All through the night;
Rest close in his encircling arms,
Until the light.
MY heart is with you as / kneel to pray.
Good night! God keep you in his care al
way.
The reason why a good many men
are backward about proposing Is, If
they are fortunate enough to be &C
copied from that moment their finsn-
cial worries begin. This does not dis
concert the rich lover in the least. He
regards it as one of the issues of
business. He has no lack of means,
and can be lavish when he sets his
heart upon gifts or any requirements
of financing.
But for the poor young man who
has only love in his heart to offer,
the dear one he would make his wife,
betrothal means a great deal for him
to ponder seriously over. First and
foremost, the problem OF the engage
ment ring which he must purchase
causes him many a sleepless hour.
Even the poorest girl naturally longs
for a diamond, which she can proudly
look upon as hers in all her after
years. Come what may, it would be
the most sacred link of her welded
life, she fondly concludes. The lovers
talk wei the possibility of getting the
golden circlet for her finger, and the

At the same moment yet one more
procession was coming slowly down
from among the peaks, a line of men-
a long line, for weary as they were
dozens had followed the foreman into
the wrecked. mud-deep forest-who
bore tenderly among them two sings.
1t was a significant fact that scat
tered along that scarecrow line was
every mar of Sandry's old crews who
had gone ove to Hampden.
In n sling there swung gently the
still figure of the Preacher, it's Book
upon its breast, it's martial flute beside
it, it's glimmerings of the Past for
gotten, its wistful searchings ended.
In the other lay Sandry, his right
hand clasping two small dark ones
whose owner trudged faithfully beside
him refusing all offers Of assistance.
A holy joy was in his heart, his lips
moved noiselessly in the rolling Latin
of a "Te Deum." This was the hour
for which he had carelessly learned it
at college.
Unashamed he acknowledged the ex-
istence of that Power which he had
once denied to Siletz.
And the little maid who had lost
her soul for love lifted wondering eyes
toward the west ridge, hidden in the
dim distance, where her sanctuary,
the seven-foot fir stump, waited in
vain for her rites of worship.
There was a wistful pathos in her
calm acceptance of the mighty price
which had been asked of her, and yet
she was content. She had offered both

The Blessed Rain.

AT camp at the upper rollway John
Daily was searching wildly in the
crowds Of silent, exhausted men for
trace of Sandry, Of Siletz and of Miss
Ordway.
His face was CHASTITY, for love tore
at his heart with double force.
Ma Daily had not seer him for two
days and when she met him she said
straightly:
"Sletz went into tn fire, son after
Sandry. That was hours ago. An

CHANCE FOR WORKING GIRLS.

For love, after all, is the purpose of life,
The aim of the struggle, and turmoil and
strife;
If somebody loves you, why worry and
sigh,
For love we are living and love cannot
die.
II the majority Of young women
could map out their futures, ninety
nine out of a hundred would elect to
be wives. This is especially true Of
the girls who are breadwinners. Not
that work in any of its branches is
d~istasteful, or too laborious, but the
path of duty seldom runs parallel with
the path of love, they imagine; there
fore their opportunities of meeting
manageable men are limited.
1 cannot agree with the girls who
hold this view. I think each young
woman can shape her future to a GER
tain extent. No matter how hard she
may have to toll from daylight to
dusk, she has her evenings, at least
half Of them, during the week.
1t goes without saying that she is
tired; perhaps has household tasks to
perform; sewing, mending. freshen-
ing up her own blouses, hat to trim,
gloves to doctor up, their few rooms
to tidy up, and a hundred-and-one
tasks to attend to that must be &C.
complished before she can seek rest
and forgetfulness in tired natures
sweet r~estorer, sleep.
Granted that these necessary duties
must be accomplished, l still main
tain that she should not give up all
her precious youth time to these tasks.
Life, health, happiness, in short, her
future prospects demand that she
should devote a portion of her eve
nings to recreation. Every working
girl should make a solemn compact
with herself that she will devote two
evenings Of her week to pleasure, Wis
iting a girl friend who lives near, TAX,
ing a healthful walk with woman COM
panions on the brightly lighted streets.
She is giving herself the benefit OF
seeing and being seen
Acquaintance meet where hills and
mountains don't. When least expect
ed she will be introduced to a worthy
person who is only waiting until ne
comes across his ideal girl to WOO
and wed.

Working girls are their own worst
enemies when they deny themselves

The Red Death.
Continued frouu last week

The Red Death.
So they were left, these two-the
East and the West-alone upon the
mighty pyre of the jumbled peaks.
Only the forbidding spine of the Hog
Back, running like a great thin blade
high between the red surf creeping at
its base, carried a passage out of the
roaring death. Siletz had planned
that the splendid black should make
it first.
Now she turned back to the two
men she loved-the Preacher, silent
under the shielding ferns with his
Bible and his flute, Sandry prone upon
the earth, his face in the pine nee
dies. She passed him and knelt beside
the other. Her eyes were dim with
the old look of emotion. She barred
the white face and gazed long upon
it. The call of blood had ever held
her to this mar mysteriously, though
both were ignorant of the vital tie
between them, the Preacher because
of the dreamy blank in his mind since
the tragedy of that far-off day, Siletz
because Ko1awmie. wise beyond his
generation, had seen how blood takes
to it's own, even at it's cost. He had
loved her mother and had tried to
make her Indian, though she was
white, a waif of the old frontier, and
he had seen her break her heart and
die.
Therefore, after silent hours by the
Great Waters he had accepted the
mandate of Destiny and had taken the
babe of the Broken Sign and given
her to the only white woman he would
trust, Ma Daily, who took her with
few questions when she saw he would
not tell her history. So now Siletz
looked for the first and last time con
sciously upon her own. Presently she
leaned over and kissed him softly. re-
placed the ferns and rose
Beside Sandry she stopped, stood a
moment gazing around at the pine
boles that doomed like fearful ghosts
In the smoke. and sat down beside
him. tucking her feet with the age-old
motion of the blanket-wearers beneath
her skirt, SO deeply had she absorbed
the ways of the dusky people whom
she loved.
She did not speak.
When at last the man, his face
drawn out of all semblance to itself,
raised his eyes to her she was calm
as the hills before the fire. He looked
at her, raising himself on his elbow.
looked long while knowledge was
born In him.
So this was the West, the world he
had once thought SO unbearable. this
was the wild, the untaught, the crude
this slim forest creature who served
him without question because he had
bought her with a kiss, who asked
nothing, who stayed by him to die be-
cause she loved him! Who still be-
lieved in him despite that others dec
laration that she was his promised
wife! And yonder went his world,
his cultured, polished East, riding
down to life and safety, her love for
gotten in the face of danger! Yonder
went what he had thought "the best
blood Of the land!"
Nay, he had been wrong! It was
here beside him, its feet tucked under
it in meekness, the savagery hidden in
its dim black eyes! The last barrier
