The decision of the state su
preme court last Tuesday declar
ing the Akers' irrigation law to be
constitutional, insures the rapid
advance of irrigation interests in
western Nebraska. The fact that
there has been some doubt as to the
validity of the law has retarded the
formation of districts for the con
. structioh of ditches, but as the, way
is now clear a number of new ditches
are likely to be built under the pro
visions of the law. There arefTome,
however, who believe thata iavorable
decision from the United States su
preme court upon the validity of
. the measure would tend to increase
the marketable value of - the irriga
tion district bonds. We believe
that these bonds will find a reason-
ably good market without a decis-
tion from that high tribunal.
Nebraska's only populist con
gressman, Omer Kem, writes to a
Chicago newspaper in response to a
circular of inquiry that he has in
.. mind legislation of vast import
ance to all the people and would
certainly present it to the coming
session of congress did he not be
long to the hopeless minority. Inas
much as both branches of congress,
the executive and the court, are
against him, he hardly thinks he
will present anything in the way of
legislative (bills. Does this mean
that Nebraska is to secure no ben
fit from one of its six representa
tives in congress? Does it mean
that its populist congressman is to
keep locked up in his mind all those
great ideas of such vast importance
to the American people? Is he go
ing to deprive his constituents of
the advantage which his projected
enactments would bring? In the
name of Nebraska we insist that
Congressman Kem introduce his
. . bills and let their merit win their
passage. Bee.

Senator Thurston has prepared a
''bill dealing with tlie vexed Pacific
railroads question which, he willin
s troduce at the coming session of
congress. The gist of this bill is:
Take a statement of the govern
ment's claim against the main line
of the Union Pacific as it will stand
July 1, 18, between the Missouri
river and San Jose and offer it to
the highest bidder who will give
forty or fifty per cent of the princi
pal or interest snd make that tlie-i
minimum, and thereby the govern
ment will get half of its claim,
This claim to be sold to one pur
chaser who will have complete con
trol of the system and all its prop
erties. One court should have com
plete jurisdiction over a foreclosure
suit that provides for the sale of
. the property to a purchaser com-
raittee to be created as a corpora
tion. This plan meets with the ap
probation of the stockholders and
receivers.

they buy the product of the beet
sugar factories in Nebraska, the

CHAPTER ILL
The conversation was interrupted by
that young lady, who came forward to
meet them, with both hands extended
! and her gown .trailing behind her in a
way that disgusted Tom beyond meas
ure. He had read of women who wore
trailing gowns, bat it had never been
his misfortune to see one until now. To
his fastidious mind it seemed shock
ingly untidy, and an untidy woman
was, in his opinion, the most pitiable
spectacle imaginable'
"I. thought you were never coming,
Tom, dear," said Daisy, taking Bis
hands in hers and smiling up into his
faca "And now that you are here I
have a great mind to keep you all to
myself.
"I want to get acquainted with him,'
she added, speaking to Mr. Parkhurst
"I presume you know that we are en
gaged to be married?"
"Tom has told ma I'll offer congrat
ulations when we are alone."
"I believe he means to kiss me, " re
plied Daisy, looking at Tom. "Shall
you allow that?"
' r1-will answerwhen I am sure of his
intentions," replied poor Tom. '
"He thinks you could .not make up
your mind to do it," said Daisy, turn-.
ing to' Mr. Parkhurst. "He doesn't
know how we behaved when you were
in Wheatlands, does he? It seems ever
so nice to Bee you again, dear Mr. Park
hurst. Let us sit together on that couch
in thecorner, where we can ralk over
old times."
"I thought you were going to give
your exclusive attention to Tom?" .
"I have changed my mind. Tom has
ra squint that makes my eyes ache and
his cars are ever so much too large. -I
think I shall like him better if I see
very little of him. It is quite necessary,,
yon know, that we should avoid becom
ing too antagonistic, foi;we muse spend
a great deal of time together."
Daisy's voice "was soft and sweet, but
verylear. .Tom was quite sure that
several of the callers who had happened
in had heard her allusion to his squint-
"Shall you alloio thatt"
ing eyes and his large ears the only
defects by which nature had sought to
mar an otherwise perfect exterior. Tom
was very sensitive concerning these de
fects, and liis frieuds had humored his
sensitiveness for so long a time that he
had begun to believe that no one noticed
them .hut himself. Miss Daisy's criti
cism did not serve to increase his love
for her.
Tom tried to make himself entertain
ing to Stella Manning, another of Mrs.
Ridgway's nieces, but he could not keep
his attention from wandering to the lit
tle figure in the gay gown of black and
yellow, satin sitting beside Parkhurst
"You don't like her dress, I see,"
said Stella, following his glance of cold
disapproval. "Daisy always- did have
the oddest taste Mn dress, and no one
can persuade her that it is not perfect.
Gray hair, smoked glasses, bare, arms
and shoulders, painted face, corsets and
bustle. Did et r any one see such a
combination?!'
"It is not modern certainly,' replied
Tom, trying not to sheer. 'I believe
there was a time when all society ladies
dressed in that way. In these days of
-common sense obedieuce to the laws of
beauty it hardly seems possible. "
"Daisy has a perfect mania for col
lecting old things. They sayit is a
characteristic' handed down from a
grandmother, who would give as much
as would make a poor family comforta
ble for a jear to possess a rickety chair
or a soiled head rest or any equally use
less thing that had been owned by a
person of distinction. "
"Do you know that to bo a fact?"
asked Tom eagerly. It had occurred to
him that if such a mania could be
proved he would have sufficiently good
grounds for breaking his engagement to
Daisy. The law was not meant toen
forco marriage with one who had so
questionable an inheritance for the com
ing generations. -
"I do not "know Daisy intimately,"
confessed Stella, "although she is a
cousin, but I have reason to believe it
is a fact. A great many persons have
told mesa"
"Can you give me the name of any of
themr"
"You Eeem to doubt me,J' replied
Stella coldly. "I ought to have remem
bered that you would naturally require
proof of anything said against the young
lady to whom you are betrothed. "
There was peculiar emphasis on
the word "young" that Tom did not fail
to notice, but what troubled him most
was the very evident fact that Stella
was displeased. He felt that she had in
formation which might be of great use
to him, and that he must exert himself
to propitiate her.
"I asked," he said quickly, "not be
cause I doubted you please believe I
could not do that but for an entirely
different reason which I should prefer j
not to mention just at present "
"I beg that you will aot mention it
at all," interrupted Stella, with an as
perity that caused Tom to wonder
whether there might not be more than
one of Sautter's cosinwho -had a bad'
temper. "Excuse me, please," she add
ed, with frigid politeaees. "L.wish to
speak with aua tie;"
Stella croMftd the room and pretended
to button bar aunt's glove while she
murmured : "Oh, my unfortunate
toogvei I'm dying tojaugb,' auntie. I
came very near getting myseh! into trou
ble justaowl'
It was decided that craning that Dai
sy should attend her first reception oil
tbe following week. It was to' bo given
at the ekgant home ofr the. De'Quin-
ceTi,"who w ere con s I tkered the wealth- j
Highest of all in Leavening
Absolutely pure
lest, most refined anil most "benevolent
family in the state.
" Will this dress do to wear?" asked
Daisy of Tom when the reception had
been planned by Mrs. De Quincey and
indorsed by Mrs. Ridgway. "I want to
please you," she added "since it will
be the'nrst time we shall appear in so
ciety together. "
"If you will pardon me for saying
so," replied Tom coldly, "I do not like
this dress at alL"
"Do you not like colors? I seo so
many ladies here in white."
"I do not like colors, and I detest
stripes and spots and checks and every
thing which tends to make a woman
look like a peacock. "
"I am so glad I have a white dress,"
replied Daisy .as sweetly as if Tom had
'not been in the least ungentlemanly in
his manner of speech. "It is of white
silk," she added, "so stiff as almost to
stand alone, and it rustles .when I walk
like wind blowing through the corn.
It has a train three yards long, and
there are no sleevea at all just a little
strap over the shoulder. It is trimmed
with passementeries which sparkle with
every movement, and I have some beau
tiful jewels which were left me-by my
grandmother. Do not fear that I shall
not make a sensation. Even you, who,
I am told, have broken the hearts of so
many girls, cannot fail to bo satisfied
with my appearance. It will bo simply
stunning."
Think what that was to hear from
he lips of a girl to whom one was be
trothed in a land where the perfection
of stylo was expressed in the words
"beauty unadorned adorned the most;"
whero jewelry and beads and passemen
teries were looked upon as relics ofbar
barism; where only savages dressed
themselves iu colors ; where the natural
form and complexion were considered
most beautiful; whero trailing skirts
were looked upon as an almost unpar
donable evidence of untidiness ! Think
how it must have sounded in the ears
of p. man who. was the acknowledged
leader in the art of beautiful dressing.
The fastidious Tom could not find
words to express his disapprobation of
the gown she described. It seemed to
him that, in the faco of such utter lack
of appreciation of the beautiful, nothing
b'e could say would have the slightest
effect He was reduced to a state of
helpless speechlessness quite foreign to
fiim, but his companion chatted as in
cessantly as if she believed him to be
infatuated with her conversational pow
ers. Tom could not but admit that her
Voice was exquisitely sweet and well
modulate It vibrated most pleasantly
upon his .sensitive ear, and its charm
was not diminished by the use of poor
diction aid a faulty pronunciation. It
would have been a delight to him to
listen to her could he have sat with
closed eyes, even though she talked only
of trivial things. Sne reminded him of
the characters portrayed in some of the
novels which were, supposed to represent
society as it was between the years 1870
and 1886. In his fine condemnation of
that age, as represented by Daisy, be
failed to see that he himself showed a
share of the inheritance handed down
by the parents of those days in that love
of luxurious ease which had been suf
ficiently strong to tempt him to place
himself in his present unhappy position.
. "I think, Mr. Wainwright," said
Daisy quite suddenly, "that already you
repent your proposal. Am I not good
enough in your opinicn to help you
evade a tax which every honorable man
should be willing to pay? Or do you
think yourself worthy of the best, no
matter what tfee you wish to make of
her? Does your exquisite taste r6b you
of the instincts of true manhood?"
There was a touch of sarcasm in the
soft voice that cut Tom like a knife. He
tried to give her to understand that he
would not tolerate such insinuations,
even from a woman, but he could not
speak. She had shown him a, picture of
himself which he despised, yet which
he could not deny.
"I intend," continued Daisy, rising j
and confronting him, "I intend to hold I
you to your proposal, because it suits i
my convenience to do so, but I wish you
to understand that you have not inspired
my respect and that I do not caro to sec
you except when you must appear as my
escort I am disappointed in you. X had
thought, judging by what my cousin
wrote, that you were a gentleman."
"MayX ask howl have displeased
you?" asked Tom coldly.
"You have shown that yon are disap
pointed because I am less beautiful than
Sander pictured me. Do not try to deny
it. I have seen it in your eyes from the
Brst, butr I should like to ask who and
what you are that you give yourself the
right to criticise my personal appear,
ance. A man who, to continue his selfish
indulgence, will-resort tcTsuch methods
as I am helping you to carry out, and
who, instead of showing proper appre
ciation of my good intentions, sulks in
a manner most conspicuous and insult
ing because I am not beautiful as a pic
ture!; You shall carry out your part of
our contract, Mr. Wainwright, or suffer
the consequences I shall expect you to
be here in good season to escort me to
Mrs. De Quincey'e, but I do not care to
see you again in .the .meantime.- vYou
need not fear that I shall exact much
sttsbtibii- fnom you when once we are
there.- I am not quite so unattractive as
that would imply."
She swept him a mocking bow, and,
walking away with the air of an em
presa, joinedthe party of young people
who had gathered around the piano in I
me music room. u.ne next moment xom
heard her singing with young De Quin
jcey; and, angry as he was, he coulel not
help paying a silent tribte:to her beau
tiful voice. "j
:"If she were only half civilized," he
mused, "and not quite so ugly but, .no,
even bor voice does not make her en
durable!" Tom quietly left the house, without a
word of parting to any one, and made
his way to his own room. He had never
been more thoroughly wretched. He felt
that, in one respect, Sander's deecrip-.
tion of his cousin had not been at fault

"Heavens," Jie tbougfct, - wnat a

CHAPTER IV.
During the days which followed, Tom
grew thin. His appetite fled, and lines
of worry were deeply drawn m his face.
His lawyer assured him that he was a
fool for showing his annoyance so plain
ly and by that means giving his friends
so good an opportunity to discuss his af
fairs.
"They will mistrust that you are hard
up," ho said, "and then you will lose
prestige. I am ashamed of you, Tom.
Why don't you brace up and bo a man
about it?"
"I wish you were in my boots, Park
hurst" began Tom.
"I should liko it of all things, my
boy! Handsome, refined, popular,
wealthy what more can a man ask? As
for Miss Daisy, you are blinder than
you need to be about her. She has a cer
tain'power of attraction that more than
one of your acquaintances seems to ap
preciate. I saw her out riding yesterday
with young De Quincey and today with
Walton Humphrey. ' '
"You didn't!" exclaimed Tom in
amazement.
"I certainly did. You might liave
seen her also had you not been moping
here in your room. There have not been
so many callers at the Kidgways in
years as there have been since Miss Daisy
came to the city."
Tom brightened up under the influ
ence of the lawyer's information. It is
wonderful how much easier it is to en
dure a person when one discovers that
he-is sought for among the idlers of so
ciety. Tom began to think that he might
at least endure what Do Quincey and
Humphrey deliberately sought. He be
gan at once to make preparations to at
tend the reception at the De Quinceys.
Half an hour ago he had decided to send
word that he was too ill to go, trusting
that she micht accept tho excuse. He
decided to dress himself with even more
than his usual care and to appear so
brilliant that his unhappy manner dur
ing that last evening at the Kidgways
would be credited to the premonitory
symptoms of tho indisposition which
had followed. Ho was grateful now to
Parkhurst for having spread the report
that he was not feeling well, although
he had been annoyed when his friends
first began dropping in to make inquiries
concerning his health.
'i'oni never looked better tuan ne am
when standing beforo the grate in Mrs.
Ridgway's sitting room, waiting for
the appearance of Daisy. He heard her
voice in the hall, and, summoning a po
lite smile to his face, turned to greet
her. The heavy draperies before the
door were pushed aside. Tom advanced
a step or two and stood faco to face
with a vision of loveliness which fairly
took his breath away. The smile became
more genial as he 'softly explained that
he was expecting to seo Miss Blake.
"I am Miss Blake," replied the girl
quietly.
It was Daisy's voice surely, but what
had become of the gray hair and the
smoked glasses? Where were the heavy
eyebrows which had met so sternly over
the glasses? Where was the unsightly
black patch which had adorned one
cheek? Where was the ugly wart which
ho had seen on the side of her nose?
"You are disappointed once more, I
percerre," said Daisy, breaking the un
comfortable silence which had fallen be
tween them.
"I presume I might as well explain,
Mr. Wainw,righr, that I have been act
ing a part. 1 wished to convince myself
that you were as perfect as my cousin
Sander repreeented you to be. Shall we
go now? It is growing late."
" You were fortunato in having such
able assistants to make your little com
edy so eujoyablo," said Tom coldly.
"Oh, you need not blame your friends I
No one wanted to do it at first, but I
persuaded them to change their minds.
Sander may not have told you that I
usually havo my own way. "
Once more Tom was speechless. It
was not difficult for him to believe that
so charming a girl always had her own
way. He would have turned against any
friend he had for tho sake of pleasing
her, but to have his friends turn against
him was different.
"I suppose Parkhurst knew," he said
after he had helped Daisy into the car
riage and taken a seat beside her.
"Oh, yes," replied Daisy, changing to
the seat opposite, "Mr. Parkhurst knew.
He was difficult to persuade, however!"
Tom thought how Parkhurst had tried
to persuade him to appear perfectly sat
isfied with his engagement to Miss
"You arc disappointed once more, I per
ceive" Daisy, and he could see that if he had
followed his lawyer 8 advico he would
now be-in .a. position to laugh at his tor
mentors. Tom realized that he had
blundered, and he' did not know how to
retrieve himself. He cursed himself and
all his friends, but that -did not help
matters in the least In a few moments
the carriage would stop before the door
of the Do Quinceys, and the silence be
tween himself and that vision of loveli
ness.oppo6itawas rapidly becoming more
uncomfortable. Tom would have liked
to establish & friendly relation before he
met his friends, thinking that by so do
in c he could make his own position lew 1
cnmcuit.
"I presume," he began, "that there
m no expkrMtiom"
"I think I shall ted it easier to for
get if 'yosy,'Qhing," interrupted
Daisy coldly.
Tom ventured no farther remark, and
the two entered the bouse, in -silence.
"Why did youdo it?" asked Tom of
Parkhurst, when a little later he had
the pleasure of seeing Daisy surrounded
by the most eligible young men in the
room and making herself delightfully
agreeable to every one but himself.
"Because, Tom," replied the old law
yer gravely, "I thought it would do you
good. So did Mrs. Ridgway, who, ad
you know, has always taken a motherly
interest in you. You will pardon me for
saying that you were becoming too firm
ly impressed with the belief that, tho
best of everything belonged by right to
yourself. Da not get angry with me for
saying so. Remember that I was an old
friend of your father. ' '
Tom was angry. He was angry, and
the more he thought of it the angrier ho
became. It was quite natural that he
should bo, and his friends appreciated
that fact, and boro with him as patient
ly as possible, believing that before
many days he would be himself again
"jLoni, sam rariumrst, "take my
advice .and appear to enjoy yourself.
You, look, like a thundercloud. Keep
your eyes away from Miss Daisy, Leave
her as severely alone as she could possi
bly desire and give your attention to the
other young ladies, as you used to da"
This time Tom saw that the lawyer's
advice was good, and he tried to act-up-,
ron it from that moment He .never spoke"
rp Daisy unless jt was absol
sary, and no ouo guessedOiC
self denial he practiced mum
tasti
mo was soon on as gooa fwx9CW$ver
with his friends and was tho idel of-kP
ciety, as he had always been. The
young ladies raved over him, but ho
could not win one smile from Daisy , ex
cept when she thought it was demanded
by the rules of politeness. She was the
personification of iciness whenever-thoy
happened to be alone together.
At first Tom had laughed lightly
when his friends mentioned her evident
avoidance of him, but there came a time
when he could not bear it and when his
flashing eyes warned them that it was a
subject which he would not hear dis
cussed. There came a time when Tom
realized that Daisy held, his happiness
in her keeping, and that it was a mat
ter of indifference to her. There wero
dayswhen he was filled with a fierce ex
ultation at the thought that sho was
bound to him for a period of more than
two years yet, and that no one could
claim superior rights. There wero other
times when he felt that to see herand
to wait upon her and know that ho had
no part in her life was a torturo which
was fast becoming greaterthan he could
bear. There were bright mornings when
ho resolved to win her love or die in the
attempt. There were dark nights when
he thought of tho easiest and surest
means of committing suicide. He had
played at love a great many times and
enjoyed it. He was deeply in love now
and Was miserable.
How was it with Daisy? It is a ques
tion which that young lady wouljl have
found difficult had she tried to answer
it, but she did not try. Sho had come
to the city fully determined to give the
best- of herself to her music. She had re
solved never ,to marry, at least not until
she had won fame ia the musical. world.
She had entered into tho engagement
with Tom principally becauso she be
lieved that by so doing she would be
free from importunities of other men
which she might otherwiso have found
distracting. She was a very earnest
young lady, who had brought the whole
force of her strong nature to bow before
the altar of her ambition. Even her
pleasures were enjoyed with the thought
that such recreation, if not too often in
dulged in, would enable her to work
more profitably. It had amused her for
two reasons, to play a part to deceive
Tom she wished to know if sho pos
sessed the qualities necessary to a suc
cessful actor, and s! fancied that it
would be more enjoyable than it hud
proved to bo to try the man whom her
cousin praised so extravagantly. Daisy
was inclined to be cynical in her opin
ions of men. When she had first seen
Tom's face, she had liked it. She told
herself afterward that sho might have
liked its owner better than she should,
considering her ambition, had he not
proved himself so little of a gentleman.
Therefore sho was glad tliat ho had be
haved just as he did. She believed she
had forever dismissed that subject with
her disapproval of his conduct, and that
now her heart was impregnable so far as
ho was concerned.
At first Tom's opinions and prefer
ences were really a matter of indiffer
ence to Daisy, but no young lady likes
to havo the most attractive gentleman
of her acquaintance attentive to every
one but herself. Daisy was not pleased
with Tom's behavior. Had she shown
her displeasure in tho ordinary way she
might soon have been tho recipient of
more attention from him than she
would have liked at that time, but she
did nothing in tho ordinary way, and
she deceived even herself as to her opin
ion of Tom.
Sho realized that he made her uncom
fortable, but she said it was because he
was so very ungentlemanly. She was
sure that she should always despise a
man who judged people entirely by their
personal appearance. There was no de
pendence to bo placed in one whose re
gard for another was regulated by that
other's wealth of natural attractions.
Sho never listened when her friends
Epoke of the great improvement notice
able in Tom Wainwright during the
past year. Sho preferred to believe that
it was impossible for him to overcome
the only fault which she had been ablo
to find in him. She assured herself and
others that a man with such a fault
could pretend anything, but that he was
false at heart, and the heart did not
change.
