his wife. A n d

whoso open, lano
lins odor of night
window, through
lrupeil ciiHiiinent,
jii'iiiinn crept like incense, and tho
moon shone down in a llo id of ailvory
lifflit, Vivhui Ames listened to bis
words with a crushed and bleeding1
lii-m-l; lilt lovo words to another, For,
untilJtoMilifht, Vivian believed bo lovod
her, and that "some day sumo sweet
iiiy ho would tell hor so, In words,
even as bis eyes hal already spoken
iovii neo'is no spoKen assurance; a
Sfliuieo of the uvn swift anil soulful
touch of tho b in 1 all speak with
mute tongue; but Lovo knows and
lounfrehunds, and Is triad.
Two months ago, Cyril Delmar had
mado tint aequaliitaneoof the Darsnys,
ind tho poor rn'ntloii, Vivian Ames.
It had been Ojiito a roimtntio affair,
Ho bad annus to this suburban place
3iio beautiful ,111110 morning' bad rid-
lull on horsebii -It for tho purpose of
visitino; a certain estato nd joining' the
Darsey place. It was a fine property,
ind, belli;; In the- market, Cyril bad
made up bis mind Unit It was Just tho
homo for him, whenever bo should soo
fit to take to himself a wife.
Ho was twenty-eight, b uidsomo,
veil would eventually bo ipiito a matri
monial Vcatch," For bis undo,
Uichard Clyde, was a millionaire and
1 bachelor, and Cyril win rooutod to
bo his prospective heir. Tho old
millionaire was pnt severity, and
made no secret of tho fact that his
nepliow would some day inherit bis
fortune.
inow, mai fair Juno morning, as
Cyril Delmar rode gayly along the
itriilght smooth road wlii-'i led past
Mrs. Darsev's house, ho di.i t dream
that bis fate lay in ambus b t be
yond. Right in front of tho hlffh-arched
iron gates, bis borso took fright and
threw him violently to tho ground.
It was just like a scene from a novel,
10 Helen Darsey lind declared, with
her big blue eyes full "f delisrht, not
it tho thought of tho young man's suf
ferings, of course, but because It
was all like a story or a play. Tho
handsome hero was curried into tho
Darsey house by two men servants, and

fashion plate, sent at oii'-e for their
family physician. Arrived tliero, that
dignitary soon pronounced tho young'
man's Injuries piiriful, Ho must
bavo rest and care for a woek or two.
To say that Cyril Delm ir took an
unfair advantage of the situation to
'utnuln an invalid as long as possible,
would not bo quite untrue. Who
win Id blnme him? For both Helen
ind her cousin Vivian were constant
ly at his side, to real to him, sing to
him, converse with him. Somehow he

THE NERBASKA
It .s that the average human heart Is
elastic, and springs back Into place
igain, even after a heavy sorrow hts
irushed down upon It.
Standing outside tho window that
night Vivian listened, becauso she
;ould not holp It tilxo heard Cynl'i
words:
"I lovo you, Helen! Will you bo rny
wife? Understand inn this Is not the
lirst, best lovo of my heart that I of
fer you but --you know my sad story,
and If , vmi ciiu overlook all that, and
help mo to forget, end bo my wife,
Helen, wo will try o hap y!"
And Vlvbm's heart had grown cold,
but the whlsporod to herself that
better no love at nil, limn it half
hearted love like that, Ho had do
elved her. It was bitter, It was hard,
but it was true. With a heart swell
ing with Indignation nho turned away,
And there, right at her side, she saw
lid Mr. Clyde, gii.lntr down into the
small, pale face, with eyes full of
tadness He, too, had overheard the
Interesting lovo scene.
"Vivian!" h said, softly, taking the
(firl's cold bauds In his own, "we have
uubitenlionally played eavesdroppers!
I a 11 not sorry, for 1 have thus learned
tho truth and my nephew's real na
ture, He is a dishonorable fellow!
Vivian, listen! Do you fcvant revenga
for his treat nent of vou'' I acknowl
edge that I am burning to punish him,
for ho has been guilty of a cruel
wrong to yon. Everybody has be
lieved that you and ho would marry,
until lately, when ho ban devoted
himself to that wax doll, Helen
Darsey, Do you want revenge,
Vivian?"
Hho glanced lnU his face, all a-trenv
bio. Her eyes shone like stars. Did
she? Would any woman in her place
east aside, made light of -as she
had been wish revenge for her
wrongs?
"Do I?" she faltered, "tell me, tell
Uie- bow!"
He elasned hor trembling hands,
"Marry me!" ho whispered, "1 am
old enough to bo your father, dearj
but 1 would be good and kind to you,
and I shall not live long. When I
die you will have all- all! Vivian, do
yju hear mo?"
hbe started and turned pale,
"And -Cyril?" sbo whispered.
The old man smiled grimly.
"That Is my affair. I have an Idea,
that there is a surprise in store for
you, Vivian. Only say yes, and I will
do tho rest."
"Yes."
That was all. Tho old man's face
wore a satisfied look; ho bent his groy
head arid touched the girl's forehead
with bis Hps.
"Heaven bless you, my dear," he
aid. Itut Vivian was not liapny. (she
had accepted the ofTor of revenge
upon Cyril Delmar for his perfidy; ac
cepted it when thrust In her bands in
this strange way; but hor heart wit
heavy and troubled. "Itevengo is
sweet," says tho old adage, but Vivian
did not (ind it so.
The next morning old lib bard Clyde
called upon Mrs. Darsey, and electri
fied that lady by asking her sanction
to bit marriage with Vivian Ames.
"Mr.Clyde!" gasped Mrs. Darsey, al-
mohi timiiilo to speak "why! tin is
overwhelming! I thought you would
never marry, and that Cyril is
Is "
"My heir In prospective? Ay, so he
Is In case I do not marry. All men
reserve the right to change, their con
dition, Mrs Darsey."
"Then, of course, if Delmar is not
to bo your heir he cannot marry my
daughter!" stormed Mrs. Darsey,
wrathfully.
An odd smile touched tho old man's
bearded lip. Itut he said nothing.
In the meantime, out in the grounds,
Vivian hud encountered Cyril Delmar.
Hho walked straight up to him, and
extended her hand.
"Allow mo to congratulate you,"
she was beginning; but something in
the mi I, dark eyes fixed upon her faoe
made her hesitate.
Vivian!" (in a choked voleo), "do
not mock mo! I would not have asked
Helen to bo my wifo but for your
ruel conduct."
"Kxpluiu yourself!" sho demanded,

Kdifir Independent;
I have rneioved the following letter
irom me enuirmuu find secretary id the

Lincoln, Nebr , April 'U, 181)1
Mr, Marvin Warren, Fnirburv, Nebr,
ieur nir; we nave exnmliieil your
hook, money mart, with 1'nrt I 1 hi 1
addition thereto, nnd with pleasure cuii
endorse the (.hum. And will add tbut
your noog tuny uiiij doarly define the

Is In harmony with tho platforms put

reeomiiiend It to nil persons In search ol
the trim basic principle of money,
Hispeeiiuiiy yours,
I. 11. lidmisteii, Chairman,
M. Howe, Kecretsry,
In Money Chart nnd 011 the outside of
the buck cover thereof is printed the
following formula;
"The Dul work of Freedom," "The
Money Ihisic Truth'"
Dull our money, gold, sliver and rmper
Is made a legal tender to tmy all debts,
It will therehy all be held firmly nnd con
stantly in parity without redemption In
coin or anything but government dues,
"The Trio ol Cardinal Measures,"
No. 1, All money must be legal tend
er to poy all debts,
No. U. Money must bo redeemable in
government dues only.
No, '4. A just and constant amount
of money circulation,"
If Money Chart is true, and if the pro
visions of the foregoing formula ol the
bulwurk of freedom bo enacted inU law
and faithfully ixecuted the control of
Hie quantify of the money circulation
will immediately pass from the iSritlsh
American oligarchy to the peopled this
country, and the people will pass from
bondage Into an over increasing freedom
and prosperity. And the Invisible em
pire ol "Uidpath's Arena" will perish to
the extent of the United Htates.
Itut on tho contrary, If the provisions
of the i'ltnlwirk of Freedom" aforesaid,
bo not in every particular enacted Into
law, the control of the quantity of our
money circulation will remain where it
is, with the P-ntlsh American oligarchy
the people of fide country will re in it in
In their bondage" and there will be no
hottimtothe interminable death ol
bondage down Into which they will be
forced deeper and deewr and dceja-r,
w 11 noil r, remeiiy.
I think tho "Independent" a better
