We. have reached the end of our vir

touches us practically; but we need
not worry. Nature Is going to take care
Of things. Necessity will punish us
and remedy matters In her own stern
way If we do not mend our methods.
When wheat does not averago so much

consider a moment whore this trend
of things Is landing us. Do you know
how long It took England to mend her
methods to raise her averages from
twelve and fifteen to twenty-five and
thirty and forty bushels an acre? It
took her almost flfly years. In fifty
years what population will we have
to feed? And we have not even he

IIopo looked at him with a very
puzzled expression, then a smile part
ed her lips.
"I think you are nil very curious
people here," she said. "There nre
F-rnnll signs of English reserve about
you. Cut I don't want to hear any
more confidences; so I shall leave
you."
"This is too bud! when I thought
I should have a minute's talk with you
in pence! Did you ever know any
thing so Idiotic as Miss Dacre's dra
matic attempt?"
"I thought you pronounced It 'splen
didly generous.' "
"Well, so It was, considering how
mad she was about Hugh herself a
couple of years ngo. It was a match
that would have stilted my aunt down
to the ground, but he would never
hear of It. Are you really going?
Well, It Is too bad of yon! I hope
you will not. go over to this practic
ing to-morrow? I am on duty, and
have to return to quarters tonight."
"What I can or cannot, do depends
on Mrs. Ravllle. flood-by for the pres
ent." She gave him her hand for a
moment, and was gone.
With nn nlr of extreme annoyance:
Captain Lutnley, stepping through one
of the open windows, followed the
path taken by Miss Dacre.
The dinner at Inglefleld was very
tranquil that evening. Mrs. Saville,
her son, Hope Desmond and Mr. Raw
son made up the whole party. Mrs.
Savill( looked 111; there were deep
shadows under her eyes, and her face
seemed smaller than usual; but she
was unusually tnlkatlvn and gracious.
She discussed politics with her
guest, and occasionally directed her
remarks to Hope. Mr. Savllle contrlli
uted some rather original observa
tions, and nil things went smoothly.
On leaving the table she said to Raw
son, "I must leave you to Miss Des
mond's care this evening, for I have a
very bad headache; but. I shall sea you
In 'lie morning."
After a llltle conversation Mr. Sa
vllle cut to look for some sketches
he had taken of the Lincolnshire
churches, and In his absence Mr. Raw
son said, "Mrs. Savllle- Is most friend
ly. She particularly wishes you to
remain; she says you know when to
be sllont and when to speak; so I
think things promise well. Oo on as
you have begun. She talks of going
on the Continent in a month or two.
You are, I Imagine, firmly fixed In her
good graces. This Is having half your
work done."
"Heaven grant It!" said Hope, with
heartfelt earnestness; and soon they
separated for tho night.
CHAPTER XI.
"1 think. Miss Desmond, I shall go
abroad next week," said Mrs. Saville,
breaking silence one dull, drizzling,
depressing November day, when they
were sitting by the fire in the smaller
of the two drawing-rooms. Mrs. Sa
ville hud been in deep thought, and
Hope diligently making a long strip
of lace which usually occupied her
when not reading aloud.
"Do you wish me to accompany
you?"
"Yes, of course. Yor. are very ready
to leavo me."
"No, Indeed, Mrs. Saville; I should
bo sorry to do so; but I wish you to
feel quite free. The secret of comfort
In such a relationship as ours is that
wo are not bound to encii other,"
There was another pause.
"Very likely," resumed Mrs. Sa
vllle, as If t.he had been reflecting.
"However, I do not wish to part com
pany ns yet. I must say you are ono
of thn few young women Indeed,
young or old who have nny common
sense, though your Ideas on some
points nro by no means round."
"What are my chief errors?" asked
Hope, with tho pleasant fearlessness
which was one of her chief attractions
to tho imperious little plutocrat.
"You are a sentimentalist In some
directions, and you do not recognize
the truo value of money. The first is
weakness; the second, willful blind
ness." "I dare say I am weak," returned
Hope, laying down her work and
speaking thoughtfully; " but do you
know, Mrs. Saville, I think I have a
truer estimate of tho value of money
than yourself?"
"How do you make that out?" Mrs
Savillo spoke with some degree of l-i
terest.
"I know that a certain amount Is
necessary, that real poverty Is dr..
grading, that every right-minded ndl
idual will strive and toil for u sum
rieuey, enough to secure iiidepcndenc.'
and respectability; but. after thai,
what ran money buy? Not health, nor
a sense of enjoyment, nor intelligeni e.
nor tho perception of beauty, nor thit
trown of life, love. Very moderate
means will permit of fullest pleasure
itu all tht'M'. but thi'v inn, i i, nit it,.
free, girt of nature: gold cannot buv
lln-'ii."
And with them all," returned Mrs.
Saville. -joij ian never lift your head
above tho obscurity or a mean position,
if you only possess moderate means."
"That does not seeni a hardship to
me. It is true 1 never knew what
.umnnioii meant, and therefore I am no
I fair J'idgo of what Is essential t.i n
uiiiMiiiouH spirit; but men have attun
ed to great power and yet had but HL
tie. mcriey."
"Not. often--not often; while to
women, with their more limited
j'htre, money Is still more essential.
ll k
If every one was ns philosophic as
yourself, where should we he? Where
would civilization. Inventions, Im
provement, employment, be, if r.ien did
not haste to become rich?"
"Rut I do not object to people bp
coming rich, and I acknowledge that
men who amass largo fortunes are of
ten benefactors to their fellows. I
only urge that great wealth Is not es
sential to Individual happiness, nnd
that men who Increase knowledge and
social lmprovemen., who Invent nnd
explore, nre benefactors equally with
those who make the money which pays
for It all."
"We nre like the two knig!.ts who
fought over the color of the shield
Miss Desmond. You must grant that
If wealth ennnot buy health It can at
least mitigate suffering; and It cer
tainly can buy esteem, if it cannot buy
love. As to love, who feels It. except
the young nnd tho Imaginative? It
Is hut another form of selfishneps;
some quality In another gratifies you
or flatters you, nnd you think that per
son essential to your existence."
"There Is something more In that
that." said Hope, gently; "you must
know that. Did you never love nny
one yourself?"
"Yes; nt least I thought I did, nnd
small thanks I, had for It. Dut I am
not sure that my reason Is not too
strong for my affections."
"I think," said Hope, slowly, "that
you could love very much." She stop
ped, nnd grew n llttlo pnler than us
ual. "Pardon me if f tuke a liberty
in speaking my opinion."
"No; go on; you amuse me."
"We scarcely know what gifts we
possess till circumstances call them
out, nnd yours may not have drawn
out your faculties In that direction.
Rut I nm quite sure the remarkable
strength of your nature wnuh" make
your love strong, too."
"Really, Miss Desmond, you nre n
profound student of human nature.
Unfortunately for the development of
my affections. I am not what is called
a lovable person."
"No," said Hope, quietly, "not whnt
a surface observer would call lova
ble; you nre too contemptuous of
weakness, which you cannot under
stand; hut If steadiness of purpose, a
sense of justice, honor, and loyalty,
nro worthy of love, you ought to be
loved. When I camo to you, my first
Inclination was to fear you, nnd I de
termined not to yield to It, or, If I
found It Insurmountable, to leave you.
You ennnot. support the companionship
of a spirit Inferior to your own."
"And you consider yours equal to
mine?" asked Mrs. Savllle, with n
slight smile.
"I do," returned Hope, steadily.
"You are my superior in knowledge,
in experience, In ability. In strength
of will; but my opinions, my Individ
unllty, are my own; I will never yield
them to the mere authority of any
creal ure, even to one I respect as I
do yop. If, In speaking ns I think, I
offend, we are not hound to live to
gether a moment longer than Is agree
able. I may love you one day; I will
never allow myself to fear you."
"You are rather a curious girl. I
do not wish people to fear me. Why
should they?"
"I do not suppose you do; but you
have a dominant will, which wealth
gives you tho power to exercise, and
It colors your manner."
"I have always been well served."
"No doubt."
"Well. Miss Desmond, you have In
terested me a good deal, nnd. as you
say, whenever I grow too tyrannical,
or you grow too fearless, we can part
company. At any rate, you are more
of a rational being than most young
women. Now as to my plans for this
winter. 1 cannot stand being worried
by the people I know In London, and
my relations; so I propose going to
Dresden, a town where one meets few
English. I have had enough of my
compatriots for the present. I shall
come to Paris In the spring; and after
eh, that Is too remote to think of.
I had n letter this morning from Mary
Dacre. Sho Is staying in Yorkshire,
at some wild country house, where
she hunts and shoots In modern young
lady fashion. She threatens to return
here with her obedient father on the
17th, und that Idiot George Lumley In
her train. Lady Olivia writes that
the preference dear Mary Dacro shows
with such girlish simplicity for dear
George Is quite touching. Of course
the Luniieys nro enchanted at tho pos
sibility of such a marriage. I won
tier does It ever occur to them to count
up the number of aspirants Miss Da
no has encouraged and thrown over?
I do not myself quite understand why
George Lumley hung about here so
much. 1 fancy he was rather laughing
nt the future Uaroness Castleton; and
he is too much of a Savllle to do what
he doesn't liUe, even lor a wealthy
marriage."
"I must say, Mrs. Saville. that seems
to me erring in the right direction."
"1 suppose it. does, to you. To me
it seems weak self-Indulgence, when
you consider the position George Lum
ley Is horn to, and which ho is bound
to keep up."
"What a terrible birthright!" re
turned Hope Desmond, laughing, as
she resumed her lace wo'i k, and. tea
coining in nt that moment, the conver
sation was Interrupted.
Hope hid been for four months
Mrs. Savllle's constant companion, and
having got over the first almost over-
powciiiit; Inclination to fly from her
wful presence, every day added to
tl. steadiness cf her nerve, and to her
Influence with her wealthy patmnesa,
She, too, rejoiced In Mist Dacre's d
parture for more brilliant fields ol
conquest, as her constant demands on
her new confidante's time nnd sympa
thies were rather pxhaust ing. Th
village concert had tei-n a great suc
cess, but the i TBcticini's which led up
to It hnd been nn equally great trial.
Moreover, Captain Lumley's manner!
had caused her much annoyance. Pre
occupied feeling had st first blinded
her ns to the true meaning of his at
tentions and efforts to escort her to
nnd from the Court and Inglefleld
House; while the self confident hnssai
was enraged, piqued, nnd above all
fascinated, by the friendly, kindly un
consciousness of his aunt's attrnetlvt
compnnlon. Ho had never met any
thing like It before, and gradually pru
dence, world! Inoss, every considera
tion, becamo merged In nn nil-devour
Ing desire to conquer tho sm!'!ng In
difference which baffled him, nnd t.
revenge the endless slichts he though)
ho had received. At last he hnd torn
himself away, hoping to renew the at
tnck with fresh effect on his retura
Meanwhile, ho masked his bntterlei
under a very overt flirtation with
Miss Dacre.
Refore starting for the Conllrent,
Hope hnd leave of nbsence for two oi
three days, which she spent with hei
rrlend Miss Rawson. These were a r
freshment to her iplrit. an' aftei
much confidential talk nnd some nece
snry shopping she returned to hei
post.
Tho welcome nccorded her by th
self-contnlned mistress of Inglefleld
was warmer than she anticipated. Mrs.
Saville hnd missed her pleasant com
panionship. Her presence soothed
and satisfied tho Imperious woman
The sincere respect she evinced was
so thoroughly n free-will offering thai
it was more flattering to Mrs. SavlIU
than the most elegantly turned com
pliments from a luminary of fashion.
"You will go on and prosper, I hav
no doubt." were Mr. Rawson's parting
words, the day before the Intending
traveler started, when he had come to
Inglefleld on business.
"So far nil goes fj.irly. If I can win
Mrs. Savillo's confidence so complete
ly that she voluntarily mentions hei
offending son, I shall think I have
done well."
"It will be a long experiment, I fear;
hut you have twelve months befor
you."
"Yes; and who knows what a day
may bring forth?"
Twenty-four hours later saw Mrs.
Savllle and her companion dining at
Meurice's. In the former's youth the
hotel had" been the favorite quarters
of the well-to-do English in Paris, and
she never left It. Hope Desmond had
often been In Paris before, but gener
ally In very loftily placed nnd diminu
tive apartments; nnd her present lux
urlous surroundings did not. please her
ns much as they saddened by the
memories nnd contrasts they evoked.
After a few days' rest, Mrs. Saville
set out for Germany, and in the quiet
routine of their comfortable life there
tho current of this "ower true tale'
seemed to stagnate.

It Is a touching story of ennini!
fidelity which Enos A. Mills tells ol I
his dog "Scotch" In "Wild Life on '
the Rockies." Master and dog had
been out on a four days' excursion oj I
the bleak mountain tops, when a littlt I
above timber-line Mr. Mills stopped
to take some photographs. To do thli I
he had to take off his sheepskin mlt
tens, which he placed In his coaf
pocket, but not securely, as It proved
I let goes on;
Erom time to time, as I climbed th
summit of the continental divide, 1
stopped to take photographs, but on
tho summit the cold pierced my silk
gloves, and I felt for my mittens, tc
find that one of them wns lost.
I stooped, put tin arm round Scotch
nnd told hint I had lost a mitten, and
that I wanted him to go down for If
to save me trouble.
Instead of starting off willingly, us
he had Invariably done before In j
obedience to my commands, he stood i
still. I thought he had misunder
stood me, so I patted him, nnd then,!
pointing down the slope, said. "Gc !
lor the mitten. Scotch. I will wall
here for you."
He started for it. but went unwill
ingly. Ho hnd always served me so
cheerfully that I could not under
stand, nnd it was not until late th
next afternoon that I realized thai
he had not understood me, but thnt hf
had loyally, nnd at the risk of hll
life, tried to obey me.
My cabin, eighteen niys away, wai
the nearest house, and tho region wat
utterly wild. I waited a reasonable
tlmo for Scotch to return, but he did
not come back. As It was late In the
afternoon, and growing colder, I de
cided to go on toward my cabin, along
a route that I felt sure ho would fol
low, and 1 reasoned that he would
overtake me.
When nt midnight he had not come,
I felt something was wrong. I slept
two hours and decided to go to meet
him. The thermometer showed four
teen below zero. I kept on going,
and at two in the afternoon, twenty
four hours after I had sent Scotch
tan k. I paused on a crag and looked
below. There in the snowy world ol
white lie lay by tho mitten 'n tin
snow. He had misunderstood me, and
bad gone bark to guard the mitten
instead of to i;et it.
After waiting for hlni to cat s
luncheon, we started merrily toward
home, where we arrived at ono o'clock
in the morning.
Had I not returned, I suppose
Scotch would have tiled beside the
initten. In a region cold, cheerless,
oppressive, without food, and perhapi
to tile, he lay down by the iiiitteo
because he under- tood that I told him
to. In the iinnals of dog heroism,

One sometimes finds poople who consider
theory to be a useless sort of thing, a sort
of wild guess, without which we 6hould be
none the poorer. It must be clear that a
theory Is more than a mere speculation. If
I suggest that the moon Is made of green
cheese my speculation Is not. entitled to be
called a theory. I cannot bring forward any
observed facts to support my suggestion.
There Is a good story told of a well known professor
xamlnlng three raw students. He asked the first,
"Does the earth go round the sun or the sun go round
the earth?"
"The earth goes round the sun, sir."
"You," said the professor, quickly turning to tho
second student.
"O, the sun goes round the earth."
"You," demanded the professor of the third student.
"O, It's sometimes the ono way and sometimes the
other."
Our position then Is this: We gather a number of
carefully observed facts and we then try to explain
them. We then look out for new facts and see If our
theory can explain the.ie also. If It cannot we must bo
willing to alter our theory.
When we are quite satisfied that a theory Is correct
we then raise the theory to a higher platform and call
It a law of nature. It Is well to remember that with all
other knowledge these laws of nature are of man's own
making. It Is amusing how some people think that
certain things happen because of these "laws of na
ture." As If the universe were controlled by these
laws which man has constructed! The laws of nature
era only theories which seem to be correct. They are
not facts, but merely our views or Ideas of facts.
FEMININE BEAUTY AS NOW INTERPRETED.
By Marcel Prevost.
Mrs. Howard Gould testified recently to the
effect that a truly elegant woman ought not
to wear the same gown twice, no matter how
beautirul or expensive a gown It may be. The
tendency towards almost Inconceivable ex
travagance in dress Is not surprising In view
of the fact that society lays so much stress
upon appearance rather than upon accom
plishments. One of our first ultra-modern
principles Is that woman's attraction resides not so
much In her spiritual and Intellectual qualities, not in
her beauty, but in her elegance. And by elegance Is
not meant the politeness and the harmony of her bear
ing and manners, but simply the way In which Bhe
"appears," the manner in which she Is dressed.
To be beautiful In our day and age no longer means
to possess beautiful features. Modern language und
modern logic have changed the meaning and notion of
thl3. Beauty to our modern notions Is a thing not In
ternal, inherent, God given, but an external thing, de
pendent upon the purse, the tailor, and the milliner.
The artists who devote their lives to making new
fashions and styles for the beautiful sex are racking
their brains now to make up gowns for which they are
to charge $500, or hats for $300. They do not. plan
such high priced gowns because of their own great cu
pidity, but because of their patrons' extravagance. Their
best patrons demand such high priced gowns and hats.

Vaudeville is known as the "laugh
trust," but not for the reason one
might think. It gets the phrase be
cause there are a certain definite num
ber of devices In Its category of acts
that control the laughs of Its audi
ences. The same old things are always
good for a laugh In vaudeville. Ac
cording to the Dohemian, a new de
vice, a new bit of "business," a new
Joke are all regarded as dangerous by
the performers. The following table
details some of the times at which a
vaudeville audience regularly laughs:
When a comedian walka with a
mincing step and speak3 In a falsetto
voice.
When a German comedian opens hla
coat and discloses a green waistcoat
When a comedy aorobat falls down
repeatedly
When a performer asks the orches

When a black-face comedian says
something about chicken.
When a performer starts to riso

I THE HINDU SCHOOLBOY.
The pupils in schools in India are
much more amenable to discipline
than English or American boys. Dr.
T. L. Peijnell, I he author of "Among
the Wild Tribes of the Afghan
Frontier," says that the Indian school
boy has not yet lost the ancient tradi
tional respect and love of the pupil
for the. master, and therefore wins the
sympathy and interest of his instruct
ors. II l-i 'h!et' failing is his incorrigible
propi nsity to what is known in Eng
lisli tcbools as "tneaking;" schoolboy
honor and esprit de corps are iiein
developed in hiisoiou acliocls, bill have
vt ry little basis on which to build.
"Please, mi-, Mahtab Dm has bee.i

"Shuja'at Ali has s-.cb-a .-:iy boo!.."
"Rum Chand has spilt iuk on my
copy-book."
If the master is willing to listen to
tales of this kind, he will j;et a con
tinuous supply of them all uy long.
There is much greater d -rsity in
the social statu-; of the !.--ys in an
Indian school than in Eugluh schools.

they get on well together without the
poor boy having to feel by taunt or
treatment, that he Is unwelcome or
despii-ed. but I have often come across
j genuine acts of charity which have
been done quite naturally and without

I are kept secret in tho majority of
I cases.

they meet from their sisters who are not as rich aa
themselves. They don't want these to equal them la

Those who will hold out longest In this mad chasa
will some day awaken to the fact that In spite of all
their resplendent gowns they are not really elegant
women, but Imitations and no more. And then they
will take their money, which they now waste on almost
Inconceivable luxuries to adorn themselves outwardly,
and will spend It in travel and in other things which
will enrich their intellect, and will make them more at
tractive as women and not mere lay figures.
BUMS ARE DISTINCT CLASSES.
By Terence V. Powder ly.
There Is a big difference between the man
who is out of a Job and cannot find one and
the man who never had a Job and would not
take one If ha could get It. A tramp Is a
man willing to work, but forced to go from
place to placa In search of It. A bum Is a
sot, a loafer and a drone who goes Into hys
teria at the mention of the word work. A
hobo Is aa Individual who goes on the theory
that the world owes him a living and he Is going to get
it by hook or crook. The honest worklngman need take
no offense at the criticism of the tramp class. The hobo
or bum never worked and never will. He Is the fellow
whose motto Is, "The world owes me a living." The
honest worklngman knows that the world doesn't owe
him a living unless he earns It.
The solution of the unemployed problem in the big
cities Is in tho transportation of men who want to work
to places where men are wanted for work. There Is a
crying demand for labor in this country. In the fields
of the west and along the roads of the west there Is a
constant cry for more men. In Chicago, New York and
the other large cities there are thousands of good, hard
working men who could fill this need If they had the
chance. The trouble Is they haven't the money to get
to the field of employment.
DOMINATE THE WEST.
By Gov. John A. Johnson.
It Is time that the West threw off the
shackles of the East. We as an integral part
of the American people should cast our Influ
ence and our votes not only to advance the
material Interests of our own particular sec
tion, but we should be broad enough and big
enough to labor for the common good of our
common country.
We have In the States west of the Missis
sippi the undoubted balance of power, no matter under
what name the national administration at Washington
exists. In the years that have passed our population
and our material wealth have not enjoyed that repre
sentation to which they are entitled, and, furthermore,
our leaders have been content to follow in no small
measure the leadership of men who represent relatively
small constituencies and smaller commonwealths. It la
time that the great northwest should come into its
own and by the force of Its energy, the ability of Its
son and the cooperation of its various constituent
parts exert an influence for good not only as to Its own
particular prosperity, but to that of the country at
large, to which every element invites it.

The ruraies or mounted police have
pretty nearly put a stop to brigandage.
Several years ago the government rec

"set a thief to catch a thief," and of

brigands who would enlist as ruraies.
