4 - speech at this juncture, and
without a word of demur crossed
the room to the piano.
Her mind was in a turmoil, her
heart hot and sad. She had writhed
inwardly under the blind mans
criticism of herself. His scathing
Judgment had hurt her unspeak-
ably.
1t was useless-to remind herself
that the Ruth he was criticizing
was the girl that she had pretend
ed to be on the two occasions on
which she had acknowledged to
him her identity. For that was the
Ruth he would remember when the
time came for him to learn of her
deception. He would then recall
her brusqueness, her abrupt man.
ner and speech, and would feel that
these had been self-revelations'
while the weeks OF sweet compan-
ionship had been fraught with evil
dences of her duplicity. The only
time when she had been gentle with
him had been when she was imper-
sonating her sister, therefore act
ing a lie to him in his helplessness.
Seated at the piano, she glanced
back to where he sat in his great
chair. He had risen when she
started toward the piano, and, in
doing so, the screen had been
moved. The light. The light from
the electric lamp fell full on his face
and on his eyes, which were closed.
She had been warned that he must
be shielded from the direct light.
His eyes had not been bandaged
for weeks, but they must still be
protected
Crossing the room she lifted the
screen softly and stood 1t in front
of the invalid.
THANK you," he said.
"Tor what?" she asked quickly.
"For putting the screen in front
Of the lamp" he replied.
For a, moment she stood still In
amazement, wild hope and equally
wild fear clutching at her heart.
A wild Hope.
"How do you know I put 1t
there?" she gasped.
81 heard you" he answered with
an indifference and apathy that
calmed her doubts. "When ] got
up | felt myself knock against the
screen, and supposed I had pushed
It out of place: but did not dare

MANY CHRISTMAS
TREES SHIPPED
FROM MINNESOTA
State Forester W. T. Cox. Says At Least
S275.0OO Worth Of Evcrgreens
Have Been Distributed.

st. Paul. Mimi, Dec. 24.-Approxi-
mately $4,000 Christmas trees, valued
at more than $275,000, have been cut
in northern Minnesota forests to add
to the Yuletide spirit of this and
neishboring states, according to w. T.
Cox. state forester.
This vast number OF trees. If cut
than LOO acres and would require
1873 freight cars to carry them to dis
tributing centers.
Trees cut in the swamps Of Wiscon-
sin and Michigan do not find their
way to Minnesota markets but are
shipped to Illinois, Ohio and Indiana.
The number Of trees cut in these
states is as large. il not larger, than
is cut in Minnesota. Mr.. Cox said.
OF the number Of trees cut in the
states forests. Minnesota received
100000, Iowa 10000, Nebraska 1O0,-
900, South Dakota $4,000, and North
Dakota $4,000.
Ordinarily the trees are cut on
spruce swamp lands, Mr.. Cox said,
and III cut in such places with the
view of thinning out the thick stands,
no harm is done the forests, but
might even be q benefit.
Cutting Of these trees on high
lands, however, is causing consider
able damage to forests, and the prac-
tice should be discontinued. he said,
unless the cutting is done to thin the
growth.
Many Of the trees arc cut too early
IN the season which results in the
falling off of the needles long before
the tree is trimmed in the home or
prepared for some Christmas display,
the forester said. This practice, in
view Of the long shipping distances, is
one which cannot be controlled, how
ever. -. -. 49, Y. @| u !.

A number Of the merchants plan on
