V 1 t .TV. ' tt (v. r -A Sacrifice S To Conscience CHAPTER I. (Continued.) Cecil bad cut herself on from him. A few months after Bho hnd married a dissipated young nobleman, whoso character was anything but above sus picion; and the two had Anally left England, having arrived on tho brink of ruin, and, It was reported, were fre quenting the gambling tables of Mo naco and Hamburg. Cecil's treatment of her rather had killed any lingering feeling of senti ment Enderby had for her. Ho was ablo to thank Providence profoundly that he had discovered her truo nature beforo it was too Idte. Dundaa Lyndon had been found guilty, and sentenced to lifelong Im prisonment The morning after his sentence ho was found dead in his cell; he had managed to secrete a small quantity of deadly poison about his porson, and cut short his doomed ca reer with It. And Jasmine? Jasmlno Is just now with Paul's sis ter, tho Hon. Mrs. Fraser, who Is mar ried to a Scottish laird in the South of Scotland. Paul had laid tho whole story beforo his sister, and asked her advice. Jasmlno was his ward, ho de clared, and as such he meant to look after her. Mrs.. Fraser a good-hearted llttlo woman, with no children, and living In rather a lonely country district had como up to London, soon Jasmine, taken a sudden fancy for hor, and de clared nothing would suit her bolter than to have Jasmine as a companion. Go Jasmlno had gono to Calder's Knowe, and Mrs. Froaer had never re gretted her choice. Paul had been several times at Cal der's Knowe, and, as ho is ablo to take a few days' holiday in May, he decides to "run down" to Scotland, taking his bicycle with him. Ho rides from the station ho has sent no word to his sister, having a mascullno fondness, a fondness nover Bhared by tho recipients, for giving sur prisesleaving word for his luggage to be sent after him. Calder's Knowe 1b about six miles from tho sleepy llttlo village and sta tion known as Calderhcnd, and the road Is a bad ono, from a cyclist's point of view, being composed of a series of very steep "houghs and howes," as the villagers call them, and a surface of mingled loose clay and stones. However, it is a lovely evening, and Paul Enderby Is wonderfully happy and light-hearted as he speeds along tho lonely road bounded on both sides by silent, melancholy moors. "What is tho real causo of his happi ness? Is it that things nre going very well with him, and that he is consid ered by his follow barristers as on tho fair way to tho top of his profession? Or can it bo that the prospect of seeing his sister "Best llttlo woman in tho world!" has anything to do with It? However that may bo, Paul's Paul's thoughts are wandering very far afield as ho coasts down a steep hill, whoso gradient is at loost ono In eleven, his "free wheel" stationary, and his mind as easy as that of a scorcher on an utterly desolate road can bo. Alasl oven scorchers are sometimes out In their reckoning, or Paul would havo remembered tho sudden, Bharp curve at tho foot of the hill. He does not, and moving, along with velocity strikes across the road instead of round it, and the next mo ment he is sent flying over a ditch into tho moorland beyond, and his machine twisted and curved Into all manner of crooked shapes lies spreading across tho ditch. For a moment or two tho Bhock of his sudden impact with tho ground Btuns Enderby; a falntness, such as ho has nover known in all his life, comes over him, and his eyes close. Tho next moment he dimly hears n cry of 'horror; then is it long after? somo one is bending over him, gen tlo hands touch his face, and suddenly nnothor cry this time of agonized and startled surprise falls on his car, "Paul! Paul! Oh, God! is he dead? is he dead?" He would have spoken, would havo oponed his eyes, but something, ho know not what, keeps him from doing so. Tho soft hands how soft, how tonder they are! wander over his face, touch his cheok, gently lift his hand, and ho feels them clasped round hU wrist. A sobbing cry breaks from tho owner of tho hands. "Thank God! Thank Ood! Oh, what nm I to do for him? My dear my dear!" Tho words are only a breath a soft breath breathed abovo him. But it is moro than Paul can stand. Suddenly tho warm color rushes back into his face, his eyes open, and with an of fort ho raises himself on his elbow. his eyes devouring tho fair young faco bont, first with palo agony, thou with sudden surprised and warm shyness, over him. Fair it is Indeed; for Jasmlno Ge rard has grown to bo llko her narai a white flower, with just a slight warm coloring to show there are life Hnd warmth behind tho whiteness; sweet, graceful such n blossom as a man might "give all his worldly bliss" to possess. Tho childhood in the face is gone; It is a woman's face now, tender and oarncst In Its womanliness. And the expression in tho dnrk-gray eyes, as they meet his for ono startled mo ment, and then drop away, Is one which thrills Paul Enderby, stunned and shaken as ho still Is, through and through. "Jasmine!" ho sighs, and, putting out his hand, takes hers and holds it 'my. little Jasmlnet" Tho whlto flower now becomes a crimson one. "Wo did not know you did not say you woro coming," JaBmlne falters. 'Aro you hurt? Oh, you must be! I Baw you coming round tho curve, though I did not know you; and I tried to call, but It was too late. Oh, I am so thankful it is not worso!" She shuddered. "Tell mo what I can do for you?" "I shall stand up, and then we'll see If there any broken bones. May I lean on you?" Paul puts his hand on tho slender shoulder, and Btunds up, shaking his limbs like a wounded lion. "My arm is bruised a bit, I think; othcrwiso I seem sound enough. Hal lo! what's this?" as a drop or two of blood falls on his hand. 'Oh, it's your arm! Let me look at it!" ciios Jasmine, turning pale again. "Sit down, and I shall try to bandago it." He docs so, and rolls up his sleeve. There Is an ugly Jagged rent in tho flesh, where a sharp stono has torn through his sleeve; It Is bleeding pro fusely. Jasmlno says nothing, but ho sees hor lips quiver. Sho makes a bandage of her own dainty little handkerchief, and rolls It tightly round tho wound, then very gently draws down the sloevo over it, nnd lifts her face, but with lowered eyes, to Enderby's. "Docs It feel any bcttcr7" "It feols quite hotter," ho answers with unnecessary fervor. "Then shall we go on? I suppose your machine is broken?" "I'm ufrald so," says Enderby, ris ing. Ho stands silent; then, suddenly puS ting out his hand, ho takes Jasmine's. "Jasmine I must tell you I heard what you said when you thought I was unconscious. Did you mean it, Jasmine?" Again tho soft color rolls up, and tho Hp's grow tremulous. "Because I hopo you did. Jasmine, Jasmlno! my own dear llttlo girl! do you know why I camo to Calder's Knowo just now? It was because I couldn't stay any longer away; be cause I felt that life would be unen durablo for mo without knowing my fate. I came to tell you I lovo you, Jasmine, I lovo you with all my heart nnd soul. Will you come to me dar lingthat Is, If you can lovo me as my wife?" Tho pretty head sinks lower; the Hps grow moro unsteady. Enderby feels tho little hand tremble and pal pitate. , "I think I havo loved you since I first met you, only, I didn't know ii" ho Bays, smiling. "I know it after your father died, and when you came here than I was sure of it. Darling, I am far older than you, and I am, perhaps, grave and quiet for my years; but you have known sorrow, and I don't think you wish for much gaiety Even if you do, I shall try to glvo you it; I shall try to make up, If I can, for the paBt " "Oh, don't say more!" sho cries tremulously. And sho lifts her face, and he sees her eyes, glowing with "tho light that was nover on sea or land," raised to his. "You have been so good so good! Who In the world ovor did for another what you did for him, and for me? But I am not half good enough for you. I am a poor portionless girl, and I don't know the great world. You should havo somo one clever and beautiful, who knows society, and will help you on, not bin dor you.'" The moors and roads aro as desolate and lonely as If there were no other beings in tho world but these two; and Paul, with his unlnjurod arm draws her very closo to him, and holds her against his breast. "Dear llttlo girl, you aro the only woman in tho world I want for my wife; Isn't that enough? Jasmine you haven't said you love me, though Do it now, won't you?" Tho little murmur is breathed into tho pocket of his cycling jacket; but Paul is content. He bends and kisses her triumphantly. "You havo made mo ns happy as a king, darling! I shall never ccaso to thank Clod for tho strango event that brought mo across the Westminster Bridco that night." To himself he adds: "Nor for the Instant that kept mo from, taking 'reward against tho innocent.' " THE END. The lightest woods in the world aro cork and poplar. Pomegranate is one of the heaviest. OTEJSflftG or HVJVTIJVG &EASOJST. It usually Is at this season of the year that the native hunter of big game, tho man who hunts for tho Joy and excitement the sport affords, gets his outfit In shape for tho fall or win ter outing and sett himself the task of deciding upon tho place at which ho will mako his camp. He has a wide territory to look over and a va riety of big game from among which to choose his quarry, A glanoe at the accompanying map, upon which tho habitats of the big game are charted, will convince even the most -skeptical that there arc still vast areas in the United Stntes and in British North America "where primeval stillness reigns" and whero man Is only an occasional nlghtmaro to the beast which dwell therein. Years ago It was the ambition of tho American hunter of big game to bring down a mountain sheep. That ambition has faded away, not so much because of a too plentiful sup ply of mountain sheep, but largely be cause the region Inhnbitod by these aheep or some species of them Is more accessible than It used to be. Speak ing goncrally, tho mountain sheep roam over the region of tho Rockies, from New Mexico to northern Alaska, The four species of mountain sheep and tho localities in which they are found nre: Nelson's, In the southern ranges of tho Hocky mountains; the big horn, which range from the mid dle Rockies to British Columbia; Stono's big mountain sheep, which recently have boen discovered by him In tho Stlcklnc river region, north of British Columbia, and tho white, or Dall'u, species, which aro found from British Columbia north. It is niralnst tho law to kill mountain sheep at any time In Montana, North Dakota or Utah. The mountain goat ranges from thn Rnsendo mmin tnlnn. In tho north ern part of tho state of Washington, northward Into Alaska, probably to Cook's Inlet. It Is found also in Now Mexico, Arizona, Colorndo, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana and California. It Is the musk ox whtch has taken the place of tho mountain sheep In tho heart of tho big game hunters of Amorlca. To como back from tho northern part of British North Amer ica with nroof that you have killed a musk ox stamps you as a sportsman whoso stories arc entitled to respectful consideration. There are three- regions in which tho musk ox mav bo hunted. These anlmnls roam north and east of the 'Groat Slave luke, as far cast as tho Great Fish river, coming down to 60 degrees of latitude. Then they may be found near Franklin bay and In East Greenland. Hunting tho American buffalo Is a lost art, because there are no more buffalo running wild In tho United Stntes to hunt. But one may go way up in British North America nnd try his luck there. A herd of bson, num bering, according to various accounts, from 75 to 150, inhabits the region south of and about oppoalto the cen ter of the Great Slave lnke, and run ning southwest for ubout 200 miles. Many well-known hunters havo tried their skill in this region, but it Is not on record that a whlto man over killed ono of theso bison, It Is a most difficult land to penetrate. In tho winter it is practically inaccessible, and in tho summer tho open country is covered with swamps that aro al most impassable. Tho Indians of this region aro by no moans nnxioiiB to holp tho white mnn to kill tho game. Next to tho buffalo In the United States to bo doomed to extinction is the prong-horn antelope. Those antel opo that remain may bo found In Arizona, Now Mexico, northwestern Colorado (especially in Routt county), Wyoming, western Montana, Idaho, Nobraska, South Dakota, Washington, Manitoba and tho Northwest Terri tory. But it is unlawful to kill nn- telopo at any time In Texas, North Dakota or Utah. The moose is one of the most sat isfactory kinds of big game to got after. Ho may be hunted from Malno to Alaska. Any nlmrod who Uvea in the cast and wants to distinguish him self has tho opportunity of going up into Maine and killing the King of Moose, the monster "specter" that carries around in his interior a lead mine, the gift of unsuccessful hunt ers, who, after emptying their magn ilnes of bullets, have taken to the tall trees or to the nearest cave. And at Cook's Inlet, AlaBka, was killed the largest moose that ever has bcon baggod. So here's the range of tho moose: Maine, Now Brunswick, Capo Breton, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Quebec, tho Ottawa district of Canada, around Georgian bny, In northern Minnesota, nnd in the region of tho Rockies ns far south as northern Wy oming, nnd running north In Alaska to Cook's Inlet, and beyond. No moose, however, may bo killed at any tlmo In Now Hampshire, Michigan, Wyom ing, North Dakota or Idaho. 'Of the woodland caribou a few aro fotind in Maine, though it Is not law ful to kill thorn, but they may bo hunted in Newfoundland, New Bruns wick, Quebec, Nova Scotia, Capo Bre ton, Manitoba, northern Cnnada, Min nesota, northern Idaho, Washington, and then north to northern Alaska. If they aro found In New Hampshire, Michigan or North Dakota it la un lawful to kill thorn. The barren ground caribou Inhabits about tho sumo region as tho musk ox, but they rango 400 or 500 miles MAP SHOWING WHERE BIG GAME IS TO BE further south. A now species of carl- bou found recently In tho Stlcklno Ivor region, north of British Colum bia, hoa been named In honor of its discoverer Stone'n mountain caribou. Best known, nerhans. of all the ano des of deer, becauso of tho wido ex tent of territory In which it Is found, is tho Virginia deer. It Is a brush- loving anlmnl, being most persistent In this respect, and. therefore Is a favorite among hunters. Its principal haunts are in Florida. Vlrclnia. tho Adlrondacks of Now York, Maine, How Brunswick, Cnnada, tho northern parts of Michigan, Wisconsin nnd Minne sota, Jn Montana and In tho Rockies. Tho homo of the mule deer also is In the Rockies. Tho black-tailed deer nre found In tho Cascade mountains. northern California, Oregon, Washing ton nnd northward Into British Co lumbia. Elk may not he killed in New Mex ico, NobrnBka, Utah, Montana, North Dakota or Oregon, but may he hunted in British Columbia, Manitoba, North west Territory, Washington, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. Bears are to he found almost every where. The bear, In fact, la a sort of household anlmnl with tho blc gamo hunter. In some parts of the east a man can go out Into his backyard and shoot a bear, and bo has to do it oc casionally, If ho wunts to savo his winter's supply of bacon. Tho black hear ranges over half tho states in th6 Union, To particularize a few locali ties, ho Is found in Florida, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, in the Catskllls and Adlrondacks of Now York, in Malno, northern Michigan, around Georgian bay In Canada, in Wyoming, Mon tana; In fact, in all tho Rocky moun tain states, from Now Mexico north, and across tho lino In British Colum bia. Tho grizzly bear Is found anywhero and overywhoro In tho Rockies, from New Mexico to Alaska. California has two grizzlies of her own, ono speclo3 found In tho north nnd tho other In the south. Way tin north there aro Bomo interesting species of boars, Tho YaKutat, a big brown fellow, is found around Ynkutat hay in Alaska. Tho Kadlak boar, tho Jargoat of all bears. Is named from his principal haunt, Kadlak, ono of tho Alasknn Islands. Tho polar bear ranges across North America along tho edge of tho Ice, and In summer he gets somewhere further south. Mountain lions, which Is a general name for cougars, pumas and tho like, are found nearly everywhere In tho mountain forests of the Pacific slope, from Mexico to British Columbia. Peccary, or wild hog, aro found In southwest Texas, Mexico and Arizona. And sport with tho alligators of Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana must not be omitted in tho list of big game. Yellowstone Park, of course, abounds with big game, but hunting there la forbidden. Aluminum fJ. Copper. In ono of his recent prophetic effu sions Nikola Tcsla predicted that cop per would In tlmo bo wholly ouper seded by aluminum. With the present high prico of copper and tho compara tively rcnsonnblo prico of aluminum ono might expect this to como truo, but tho now metal Is not yet enough of a rival even to affect the copper mnrkot. Tho reason for this is ex plained by Professor John Trowbrldgo of Harvard in n recent Issue of tho Independent. Wlillo tho prico of alu minum has fallen from $90 n pound to CG cents a pound, and while Its pow ers of conductivity aro doublo thoso of copper for the samo weight, It is still comparatively useless in electri cal work becauso of tho dlfllculty of soldering or brazing two pieces of tho metal together. In order to transmit FOUND. , tho current without great loss the trolley lines or telcKrnnh and tele phono wiros must be perfectly Joined whero ono section la spliced to tho next. This apparently trivial dlfflcul ty has thus far prevented tho ubo of aluminum In overhead electrlcnl wires of any kind. Joe Leitar May Marry.
