Then came further distress for the
devoted Susie. She returned to her

All through his delirium Ralston
was family conscious of a woman g
face bending over him, with a look of
compassion that TRANSPORTED it. Again
and again, as he came weakly back
from the fog of delirium into conscious
ness, he would realize her presence
and feel the cool hand on his burning
forehead.
When at last he opened his eyes to
the realization of his position he saw
that the face had been largely the

not the face he had imagined
Are you feeling better?" asked a
soft voice.
Ralston tried to answer, but he was
too weak to speak. And, lying there,
he began to remember the circum-
stances Of the accident.
He had gone West three years be-
fore to take up the homestead miles
away from the city, nursing in his
heart the remembrance of the girl
who had Tilted him and ruined his
life. He had abandoned everything,
his friends, his interests. Gradually

KEEPING THE CHILD STRAIGHT
Wise Advice on the Subject 10 That
Given by Writer In a Chicago
Newspaper.

When children are prevented from
having good time at home they will
go where their high spirits will have a
chance.
1t is up to you to make your home a
place where the children will have
their best time.
If you do, you will find less desire
on their part to leave it.
1t may cost little money; the noise
may be annoying to you. but isn't a
little money and little noise a small
price to pay to keep the Riddles
home?
When children are much on the
streets or in questionable company is
it any wonder that they acquire bad
habits?
To keep your children sweet, pure
and honorable should be your constant
aim.
Before you become parent you
should consider that you will have to
make many changes in your mode of
living; that you will have many vexa.
tons. But the children will more than
make up to you for all you must deny
yourself
Nothing is so sweet as the heart of

Eiaht Patron Was Weary.

Billy Gibson, who conducted a small
boxing club. told of a bout be-
tween Montana Dan Sullivan, a
middleweight. and a rough, rug
ged fellow who was noted for
his punching powers, but who was
rather slow afoot. Montana Dan APP
parently held his opponent in great re-
spect. He would approach the rough
lad cautiously, make light lead at
him, and then skitter away to a far
corner of the ring. This went on for
short time, with the crowd watch
ing silently, until finally Dan reached
out a quick left and jabbed the rough
one lightly on the chin. That's right,
Dan," came a thin, piping and very
weary voice from the cheapest seats.
That's right, Antagonize him, Dan;

Different Matter,

1t was the first night of the panto-
mime, and Jack took his seat in the
pit next to lad about the same age
as himself
Say. mate. can you smoke in
here?" he inquired, when he had made
himself as comfortable as he could.
mo-" briefly replied his neighbor.
A few minutes afterward Jack saw
others smoking, and, looking about,
discovered that there were no prohibi-
tory notices on the walls, so again ad-
dressed the quiet one:
Il thought you said you couldnt
smoke in here?"
81 did not say you eouldn not smoke

Care Of the Piano.

Half the pianos Of this country catch
winter colds exactly as we do. They
get hoarse or have a cough or a stiff
note or some similar complaint. which
cannot be cured by home remedies.
but which requires tedious and expen-
sive doctoring. In order to prevent
these avoidable ailments a piano
should be kept in a moderately warm
room. where the temperature is even,
say 60 or 40 degrees, the year round
not cold one day and hot the next. The
instrument should not, however. be
too near the source of heat. Ii should
be kept closed and covered with a felt
cloth when not in use. particularly in
frosty weather. Always place the piano
close to but not against an inside wall.

His Horse Stumbled and Threw Him.
the charm of the peaceful country had
chung about him. and he realized that
nature had a healing balm for his
wounded heart.
He had known that Mrs. Symon, a
widow of culture, had taken up the
homestead adjacent after her hus-
bands death, preferring the solitary
life in the wilds to struggle in a
city; but he had not chosen to see
any woman, and on the rare occasions
when he saw her as he rode past on
his way to the post, he only raised
his hat and turned his face away,
So he had lived three years, alone,
save for the occasional visit of a
neighbor. or the appearance of some
wanderer at his sod cabin. He passed
for a moroSe man, as, indeed, he was.
Nobody intruded on his life. Each
man had his own interests in that
wild region
He had been riding to the post, ten
miles away, when his horse stumbled
and threw him. He had sustained in
ternal injuries. but no bones were
broken. The worst thing was severe
conclusion of the brain, and for three
weeks he had been semiconscious, liv-
ing in a world of delirium.
1t was odd that in the place of the
woman who. till then, had occupied
his heart. he should have pictured
that face that bent compassionately
above him. The force of the delusion
had gripped his heart; now, on awak-
ening, he was almost glad to find that
1t was dream; and yet he knew that
the image persisted. It was ex-
traordinary that he should have i'm
agined what could never be in the
face of Mrs. Symon
For days he lay there, gradually
recovering his strength. 1t amazed
him that anyone should be so kind.
Ralston was thirty and Mrs Symon
not too old for his expressions of graf
itude to bring warm flush to her
face.
Gradually the motherly attitude
seemed to vanish. In place of it was
a very womanly sympathy, certain
equality that set Ralston thinking
hard.
After all, a man could not live alone
forever And this woman was very
kind. kinder than any he had ever
known. She would assuage his lone
illness. and something told him that
she was not Indifferent to him.
During the days of his convalescence
he told her much about his past, and
what he did not tell her she surmised.
1t was only when he approached the
subject which had begun to possess
his thoughts that she nervously
checked him.
DO you know how old | am. Mr..
Ralston?" she asked. with a laugh of
embarrassment Forty"
1t did check him. as it was meant to
do. but only because he meant to
make no error this time. A wife ten
years his senior! Well. such things
had been. He resolved that he would
ask her.

words: 1T is current rumor that Miss
Grace Armour and Mr.. Daily Randall.
bridesmaid and best man, will shortly
follow the example of the happy bride
and groom Of the present occasion"
The item had come to Susie while
she was collating material for the full
column report on the brilliant affair.
lists Of names had been given her,
as Of the presents and items as to the
honeymoon trip and the like. How
was she to know that the bridesmaid
and best man were almost perfect
strangers one to the other? A cruel
hoax and it had cost Susie her posi-
ton.
She got a directory and found the
address of this Mr. Randall There
was gloom in her heart but she grap-
pied with the duty Of the moment in her
usual determined, busnessike way.
Susie thought out all she would say as
she was shown into the Office of Mr.
Randall He was bright. handsome
young fellow. She had noticed that
at the wedding. He stared a little
and looked perplexed and embarrassed
as Susie told her story.
1T is most kind of you to take the
trouble to explain the mixup," said
Randall "Of course some thought
less mischief maker fancied it would
be rare hoax to give in that false in
formation. By the way, a thought
this affair has bothered me a good
deal. / know Miss Armour must be
troubled and chagrined over the af-
fair. By the way" and Randall bright
ened up under the influence Of quick
uggestion-"you couldn't clear my
skirts and make Miss Armour feel
right to me, that is if she feels wrong
about it by calling on her and telling
her what you have told me, could
you?"
Why. OF course Susie would do that
and the young man pondered. To the
observant Susie he acted little wor-
ried over what had been done and
evinced a sort of delight in being able
TO discuss the situation with Miss Ar
mour.
Il believe he said finally. Il be-
lieve ! will accompany you to Miss
Armour and will-er-introduce you
So they went together and Susie
went over her story again to the
blushing young bridesmaid Randall
had learned of the penalty she had
been called upon TO pay for the inser-
ton of that fatal line He even asked
her address.
Il have some friends in the news

pretty hard that you should lose your
position for complication in no sense

Miss Armour was kind, indulgent,
almost sisterly to Susie. She took her
address.

idea TO those two" soliloquized Susie

her way homewards Then her own
troubles brought a cloud of gravity 10

Yet, with her woman's intuition, she
postponed the matter until Ralston
was convalescent, till he was able to
hobble about the house. Yet each
knew that the other was acting a part
and that 1t was only matter of time
until the words were spoken.
Did you know that l had a daugh

had not thought of that. Somehow, il

continued Mrs. Symon. She has been
here once or twice, and she is com.
ing to live with me next week." She
laid her hand on his arm. Il want you
to wait till you have seen her." she
continued.
OsteRsibly the words meant that
Ralston was to postpone his departure
until Lillian had come; but, actually,
he knew they meant that until then
nothing was to be said of marriage.
Yet it was with difficulty that he
could restrain himself, for his love
had again given Mrs. Symon the as
poets of the woman in his dream, and
he felt that he could with her attain
that peace of soul which he had lost.
Lillian is coming tomorrow" Mrs.
Symon said one day. will you take
the horse to the depot and meet herr"
And you?"
"Oh. shall not have time il I am
to get things in order for her." an
swered Mrs. Symon with little
laugh.
Ralston drove to the depot, and
presently fresh-faced young girl got
down from the train and glanced
about her. Ralston went up and stood
staring foolishly at her. 1t was the
girl Of his vision. So she had been
there, had seen him while he lay in
his delirium,
She knew him, too: she put out her
hand, and mechanically he clasped it.
He helped her into the carriage and
they whirled away. And though not a
word had been spoken Ralston felt his
heart leap up with ecstacy. She was
his! He blessed his stars that moth
ing had been said to the mother. She
knew-Lilian knew. He felt that with
perfect instinct They were born for
each other, each was destined for the

mered.
She nodded shyly
1T was you, then, whom l saw in
my dreams?'
She nodded again. And suddenly
he drew her to him and pressed his
lips to hers. And all pretense seemed
ludicrously absurd in the face of this
elemental and overmastering passion
that had sprung up between them.
In silence they drove the last stage
Of the journey. When at last they
stopped before the cabin they de-
scended like people in a dream. Mrs.
Symon was sitting in front of the
door; she had seen and interpreted
the look upon each face.
AS they went in she said in a low
voice:
