nature, I wna more Uiau glml of ber

Wo went hack to the hotel where we
talked over the event of the morning. No
one i'i ,'h party aeenied a.i merry m wht-n
we left the breakfast riKitn. Thure wak a
tieoner fpt linn than mirth in each lieiirt.
Mi'lvnrne hnd shown himself h.i a nobhj

hi cousin, who had no eUxlms upon him
In any way except through the kindness
of liia heart. Hut he hid tawted a Joy

well plenscd with his discovery, and could

miu$ between his new found relative and
his re membrnuce of his mother. Ho could
not rememtier hii uncle, Ktclla'a father,

I thought, a I sat looking at the Duko
of Molvorne, that here waa another aide to
his character. Truly
"Tho heart has many pasaairea,
Thniugli which the nilinl mny roaoi.
Hut the middle aisle is soorod
To tlio old, olU hoiiie."
"Yesierilay's dolnjia were not on my
list," said Mr. Lollard the next morn
ing at breakfast. "Shall we eontluim our
programme or mark out a new course?"
"Oh, conliuue," exclaimed Ijidy Irving,
"f am so in love with Colorado that I want
to wu every tioU'd place. "
"Tliero aro dozens of tlirni yet," said
Mi'lvnrne. "Sunn I have viMtcd when I
lmvc been here befnre."
"Vou nci'ii licre liefnri'?" asked Iillnrd.
"I tliniit;lit we wciv nil sliani;crs lu the

"I hava a tsenaca callins me back ha
England Immediately. But you can all re

lug wistfully at Lady Irving.
Thera was evident disuiHy In tha camp.
Onr quiet was broken. We held a consul
tation. It was discovered that Ijuly Irv
ing and Stella had rather return to En
gland with us, but Mr. and Mrs. Lollard
decided to remain and flnlnh their ordinal
plan and return home about C'hrlutmai
time.
With many regrets for the unexpected
eall, and solemn promises for exchange of
letters, we left Mr. aud Mrs. Lollard and
the glorious scenes yet unexplored, and
started for Denver. From there we were
soon on our homeward Journey.
We pawed through Kansas, that rich
and beautiful garden of America, in the
day time Nature has done her part in
making Kansas all that heart can desire.
The Western portion is used chiefly for
grazing. There, cattle by the thousands
roam over the wild prairies that are cov
ered with luxuriant and uutriiious grasses.
The great fields of growing corn and
stacks of gathered wheat bespoke the
beautiful harvests, while all along the line
of railroad were prosperous cities which
told of thrift and nterprine.
"Fort ltilcyl" called the porter as we
stopped at a little station by the side ot a
large river.
"Where?" asked all the ladies.
"There on tho hill," said Melvorne,
"This is the geographical center of the
I'uited States. The river to our right is
the Kausaa, funned about a half a mile
from here by the union of the Republican
aud Smoky-hill rivers.
"Are there any soldiers in the post
now?" 1 asked of a gentleman sitting In
front of us"
"Only a few companies now. But I be
lieve (ieneral Sheridan is considering the
plan of making it a oavalry school in the
near future," he answered.
"This is the State that has for Its motto,
'A school house on every hill top and no
saloons in the valley,' " said Stella.
"Yea, Miss, this was the first State In
the West to make prohibition a live Issue,"
said the old gentleman In answer to her
questions.
"Has it accomplished any goodf" 1
asked.
"Yes, sir," he said. "I believe It has
done a great deal of good. It has made
aloons unpopular. And any young man
that has an ounce of self respect will not
visit Uisui and thus violate the law of his
Ktule."
"Do you believe it will ever become a
perfect success" I asked.
"Yea, sir," he answered, "when public

j "O, look down!" said Lady Irving, "it
makes me d!yl"
"What if the cable should break?" said
Stella.
"We would l.trnt near the depot or down
amnng the trellises," answered Melvorne.
"No," said a man on the car, "those
brakes between the wheels have ciempe
like great shoes which fasten on the rails,
and can eveu lift the car clear from the
truck In case of accident."
"Thst 1 protection then, aside from
I the cablii?" asked .Molvorue.
"Yes, sir," said the man, "the cable
parted once, and the brake saved the car."
I "Thank you," said Melvorne. "One
feels greater safety In traveling when they
underxtaud the workings."
j Tiimiug to come down, Idy Irving said
j "I feel as though I wiw sinking. How
strange that we go no faster coming down
tim 11 we am going up. "
"It is like the belt to a machine moving
equally fast at every point. The car is fas
tened to the cable, not running on it," ex
plained Melvorne.
We were ghid to stand on trmt Irrna
onro more. Then we went back Into the
great waiting room of the depot to got
ready for our train.
"Such a hum of activity! Such a hurry
ing to and rro! Such anxiety fur the
trains! Such crowding for lunch, anil
such a disregard for everything but self, I
never saw In all uiy travels!" an til Mol
vorue. "It makes me think of a hive tf bees," I
said, looking at the moving mans of hn
nmu beings. "Where can they all be go
ing?" "There, our train has moved down,"
said Melvorne, anil we gathered up our
bundles, crossed the intervening tracks,
produced our ticket, mid took mir HcaW
in nn elegant palace car. Tho quiet was a
luxury aficr tho noine and confusion of
the bii.sv wniliii" nn nr.
in a Mum. uiiic e wire H;".eriunji hnj
towards tho rising nun. On, on, we went
w ith feelings of cunti'iit and joy. Our Ut
ile parly was complete, the c.irs were ciun
fin'talile, aud the dining niriuigeiiienU
biilUfuctory.
"Cliiciino!" rang out upon Hit-nil' before
we hanlly renlleil it could be. As we left
the train 1 said to Slella:
"lluw ilillereiit thing's look to me now,
b'llle girl, that 1 have found you 011 my
arm."
"Mt'lvonie," I said, as wo entered a
aiirrlae, "would you liko to see I'otlcr
Piilmrr's resilience now?"
"No," he said, luiighin, "but wo will
s-Kt at his hotel a few bourn, however.
Then if the ladies nre not too much futlg

They declared themselves ready for tho
journey. I believe, that they enjoyed It.
Our active F.iiglish ladies nre imthlckly
sentimentalists who think tho crowning
glory of womanhood Is to lie thought nil
invalid. They uru brave, pure hearted
women. They can be Independent of tho
aid oak, yet love nnd home; aro no less
eVar to them because of thut iudepund
eiiee. What happy hours we spent on that
homeward journey. Slella ncvor tired of
at-kiug questions about hor ful her's child
hood hn'ie, and Melvorne seemed to enjoy
picturing' tho old place. Ho would give
Bio most minute descriptions of every
thing about it. At last, on a beautiful day
At July, we were ou a great ocean steamct
sXiund for home.
One evening aa we were standing on
aVck Melvorne asked:
"Ijoyd, do you remember the day f found
you dreuuiing?"
"Yen," I said, "I think I dot 1 lilllo
bought then that I was seeking a friend,
and I found that ho had lout tho one he
leld most dear."
"And did you expect to find us so far
atom home!" asked Ludy Irving archly.
"No, my lady," said Melvorne, half
ajityfully "When I was In Iundon I
weuld not seek you for fear my sweet girl
mend would be changed to a cold proud
woman of fashion."
"What do you think now?" she asked
mischievously.
"I think," he said, catching her in his
arms, "that I shall bold you a prisoner un
til you name the day tlutt I shall call you
saino!"
"And I make the snme demand," J said,
Winging Stella to my side.
"We may as well present our Hugs of
trace and surrender to our conquererH,"
Aid Stella to Lady Irving.
"Yes," said Udy Irving playfully, "W
Jfjipctcd that sunn! day you would become
tyrant ami use tho conqueror's rlitht to
eummand; so we prepared onr weapons of
war ready to surrender with grace! At
stiver Dell, my homo In Loudon, there

fee seventh of September, if you will agree
W such 11 treaty of peace."
"Is that true?" I asked, kissing the lips

"Yes, l,oyd, after ineetlii' you in Den

Wrled until our return to Kngliiiid. Sbo

amine day she was and ut her homo."
"Then, you little rogue, you bad made
sVe arrangements w hen I urged you to
net kfce day that evening In Manitou."
"Y'es, and it was fun for us when we
net after our return from the evening
Winnie. Lousin Jnines had asked Lady
7lB the same question, and hud urged a
awir, stud Stella gaily.
"Do you hear that, Melvorne?" I asked.
Tlear what? "
"Why, these mischievous witches had
i&taaoa to make us wait until wo were In
jMlaad before they would yield their
rgiMiiro to our wills," Isaid. "Do you
sftttfliubor that eveuing in my room when
JM were so blue, my asklmz vou if vr,u
Cd not believe that they hud some scheme
au&itist us?
i es, 1 remember It very well. So vou
ynre going to carry out that plan if we
nju rtjiiiumeu iu America a year?" he
atfttwi of Iiady Irving.
' Must decidedly, my Lord," she said,
osnaing nim a mocking courtesy.
I hen I am thankful for that telegram."
"So sin I, for now that tho day is set, I
hfsve enough to do to get rendy to receive
asiny waverlnnd at her new homo," I
"I claim the right to keep Cousin Stella
y guost uutil that time," said Mcl-
vl.
"No, I have a prior right to her for my
esaspaulon," said Lady Irving.
Ator some debating Udy Irving won
her point and Stella was to remain at SU
YV Doil until after the wedding.
The voyage was a most delightful one,
ye we were glad when It was ended and
w were quietly seated In Idy Irvlng'e
Urinous dining room. She had earnestly
insisted I hat the Urst evening of our homo
canung should bo passed together at her
homo. Silver Dell is beautifully locate.!

After dinner we spent a few hours talk
ing over our plan for the future. It woa
tmiced that Melvornn should at lend to the
hikMiiess which had called him home aud
then wo were all to visit Haven's Park to
gether. "('ome Loyd," said Melvorne, "you are
to be my guest whilo you remain in Eng
land." "Thanks," I said. "I tvos drendiog a
lonely lodging after so much pleasant com
puny."
It was lute when we rearhed T'l.io Itldge,
hut the great mansion was brilliantly
lighted, ljuly lIortcn.se had a guy party
about her.
The following day we ran down to the
city, and while Melvorne was alUsudini; to
business I was traveling over again, in
Illumination, tie mountains and gleua el
Coloratlo w llh Stollu and Iiady Irving.
When Melvorne returned we decided to
visit Haven's Turk the following day.
"We almost need our business manager,
to keep us pn.'Sed on the day's proceeding,
said Melvorne.
"I wonder where tho Lollards are now,"
said liiuly Irving. "Some time 1 am going
back to llnlsh the tour your telegram cut
short"
"I mn going too," snld Stella. "lam
not satisfied with our short stay in th
new world."
CHAPTER XXII. ULSY DATS.
We drove to tho depot as arranged,
ready (or a visit to Haven's Turk. It was
a delightful day. Kvery blade and leaf
ouiver-d with the ircntlo breezn. and In
menu wiis :i lui.j iinh eij iiiiicru
from tho wonderful blue of a Colorado
sky.
About noon we reiiehed the mansion,
which through Mel vorne's generosity, was)
now the iimperly of Miss Stella Kverutt,
grniiil daughter of (he earl of York. It
had been built in the olden ilnys when
llrillsh peers were fond of palatial man
sions. It stood in a park surrounded by a
royal forest. As we walked up the avenue

"Then this was the childhood home of
my simple, loving father, w ho never gsvo
me a hint that he I fl mi ir I to the Knglish
nubility, lie was content to live a liTe of
usefulness among the humble tenant pei
pie," and tears rolled down her checks
from thinkiiiitof the past.
"Yes, cousin, this was his childhood
home," said Melvorne. "It was almost
my home. too. I have passed many happy
hours here with my grandfather. He
never tired talking of Charlie. He was his
father's pride and joy until, in a moment
of passion, that father had disowned his
son and sent him away, henceforth to bo a
stranger from his home. I was tho only
one ihat my grandfather would permit to
mention Charlie's name In his presence.
I wils so Miiall when I'nclo Charlie left
home that I cannot remember anything
alioiit him. Hut I believe my grandfather
wus always sorry for his hasty action, and
If It had not been for his iinguve rnnblu
pride, he would have called him back."
"1 fear you rimy regret your hasty action,
Cousin James," said Stella.
"I Bhall never regret thai; but I would
like tti adit a clause to the transfer," said
Melvorne.
"What would It he?" asked Stella.
"That this shall be your Winter homo,
as it Is near to Blue Kltlgo."
"I will grant your request," Raul Stella,
offering him her baud as a pledge for lta
fulllllmeut. Then she turned to me, say
ing: "You agree with nie In keeping thia
promise?"
"Most surely! I could not help agreclug
to live In such a beautiful place," I said,
putting her hand upon my arm, as we,
started to leuvo the fountain, where Lady
Irving hnd been watching the little fishes,
wlille we had been talking. As we entered
the hall Lady Irving said:
"I think Stella and I might command
quite a large circle ol friends who would
add much pleasure and enjoyment to all
these fluo arrangements."
"1 am only too anxious to introduce tha
Duchess of Melvorne to a large circle of
friends," said Melvorne.
Stella remained silent as we entered and
passed through tho old hall. What a grand
place It Is! .lust the home for my darling,
I thought. Pictures of ancestors for many
generations hung on the walls of the long
gallery; ami, as we were passing Biting
Melvorne stcppe'l to one and paused.
"This," he said, with reverence, "waa
Sir Kdward, our grandfather."
Stella looked for some momenta nt tho
stately form with snow white linjr and
beard and bright blue eyes.
"My father had those clear bluo eyes
and a broad smooth brow, but, tho expres
sion of his mouth was not so hard aud
proud," said Stella as she moved away.
"This was my mother's room, "said Mel
vorne, leading the vfay into another apart
ment. The. room was ti-immeil in bluo ami1
white. The ground work of the carpet,
the curtains nnd all the drapery of tho
room was blue, while delicate, vines and
leaves were traced lu white. Kvery thing
about the room wuh in uccord with tli
most perfect taste.
"This was your father's," said Mel
vorne, opening a door down the hall.
Here, rich, dark tints gave a warm glow
to the room. "And these were his books
when a school-boy," he continued, opening
the doors of a Ixtokcaso.
Stella went to the open case and with a
tender sadness on her face took otio book
after another from its old accustomed
place and read with an aching heart the

Tears fell on the open page as sho looked
tip'i'i tho writing of the hand that had
been her guide from infancy. I longed to
coi-ifori. her, as she stitod there with the
Memory of a foiiiuther's, kind, protect
ing love so fresh in l.er thoughts. I went
to her, nnd plat ing my arm utwut her
waist remained silent
' To think," she said, "that after all
these years they nre here to give mo a wel
come home. It seems like almost swing,
my father to be among his books and sew
his own writing!"
"There is ooinfort in the silent messa

margin of an old book. Then, as though
speaking to herself alone she said:
"O. lovlna- father, fond and trim
Euoh silent tsmk can (onk for you.

Then, as though some unseen comforter
had been near, Stolla closed th doors of
the bookcase with a centl muh u t.homrh '
she felt that it waa conscious of her love.
Then wo left the room and joined Lady '
