'but when yon. come to the .objections

They say that women do not wish for

them and would not use It.

' Do they know there is many a bird

bars, but would fly- If the doors were
"open?" She knit her forehead and lean

Then they say, 'If the women have

She talked more rapidly as she went

has brooded long and which lies near
one's heart.

"They say women have one great
and noble work left them, and they do
it ill. That is true. They do it execra
bly. It is the work that demands the
broadest culture, and they have not
even the narrowest. . The lawyer may
see no deeper than his lawbooks and
the chemist see no farther than the
windows of his laboratory, and they
may do their work well. But the wo
man who does woman's work needs
a many sided, multiform culture. The
heights and depths of human life must
not be beyond the reach of ber vision.
1 She must have knowledge of men and
things in many states, a wide catholic-

isprlngs from knowledge and the mag-

The souls of little children are mar

fession, but that she Is free to enter
upon It or leave It, as she pleases.
"Yes, and a cat set afloat In a pond
is free to sit in the tub till it dies there.
It is under no obligation to wet its
feet. And a drowning man may catch
at a straw or not, just as he likes. It
is a glorious liberty! Let any man think
for five minutes of what old maiden
hood means to a woman, and then let
him be silent. Is it easy to bear
throughout life a name that In Itself
signifies defeat to dwell, as nine out
of ten unmarried women must, under
thefinger of another woman? Is it
easy to look forward to an old age with
out honor, without the reward of use
ful labor, without love? I wonder how
many men there are-who would give
up everything that is dear in life for
the sake of maintaining a high ideal
purity." ' -
She laughed a little laugh that was
clear .without being pleasant. "And
then, when they have no other argu
ment against us, they say: 'Go on. but
when you have made woman what
you wish and her children 'inherit her
culture you will defeat yourself. Man

replenish the race will die. Fools!"
she said, curling her pretty Up. "A

shiped, while they, were still weak on
their hind legs,, did they not eat and
drink and fight for wives? When all
the latter additions to humanity have
vanished, will not the foundation on
which they are built remain?
She was silent then for awhile and
said somewhat dreamily, more as
though speaking to herself than to him:
'Tbey ask; What will you gain, even
If man does not become extinct? You
will have brought justice and equality
on the earth and sent love from it.
When men and women are equals, they
will love no more. Your highly cul

Do they see nothing understand
nothing? It is Taut' Sannie who buries
husbands one after another and folds
her hands resignedly 'The Lord gave,

no one."
He looked at her, wondering, but she
was not looking at him.
"To see the good and the beautiful,"
she said, "and to have no strength to
live it is only to be Moses on the moun
tain of Nebo, with the land at your
feet and no power to enter. It would
be better not to see It. Come." she
said, looking up into his face and see
ing Its uncomprehending expression,
"let us go. It is getting late. Doss is
anxious for his breakfast also." She
added, wheeling round and calling to
the dog, who was endeavoring to un
earth a mole, an occupation to which
he bad been zealously addicted from
the third month, but in which he had
never on any single occasion proved
successful.
Waldo shouldered his bag, and Lyn-
dall walked on before In silence, with
the dog close at her side. Perhaps she
thought of the narrowness of the lim
its within which a human soul may
speak and be understood by its nearest
of mental kin. of how soon it reaches
that solitary land of the individual ex
perience In which no fellow footfall is
ever heard. Whatever her thoughts
may have been, she was soon inter
rupted. Waldo came close to her and.
standing still, produced with awk
wardness from bis breast pocket a
small carved box.
"I made It for you," he said, holding
It out.
"I like it," she said, examining It
carefully.
The workmanship was better than
that of the grave post, The flowers
that covered it were delicate, and here
and there small conical protuberances
were let In among them. She turned
It round critically. Waldo bent over
it lovingly. '
"There Is one strange thing about
it," he said earnestly, putting a finger
on one little pyramid. "I made It
without these, and I felt something
was wrong. I tried many changes.
and at last I let these in, and then It
was right. But why was It? They are
not beautiful in themselves."
"They relieve the monotony of the
smooth leaves, I suppose.""
He shook his head as over a weighty
matter.
"The sky Is monotonous," he said.
"when it Is blue, and yet it is beauti
ful. I have thought of that often.
But it is not monotony and it is not
variety makes beauty. What Is it?
The sky and your face and this box
the same thing is In them all, only
more in the sky and in your face. But
what is it?
She smiled.
"So you are at your old work still
Why, why, why? What is the reason
It Is enough for me." she said, "if I
find out what is beautiful and what is
ugly, what Is real and what is not,
Why It Is there and over the final cause
of things In general I don't trouble my
self. There must be one, but what is
it to me? If 1 howl to all eternity, I
shall never get bold of it, and if I did

Germans are born with an appetite for
burrowing. You can't help yourselves.
You must sniff after reasons, just as
that dog must after a mole. He knows
perfectly well he will never catch it,
but he's under the imperative necessity
of digging for it."
"But he might find It"
"Might! But he never has and never
will. Life Is too short to run after
mights. We must have certainties."
She 7 tucked the box under her arm
and was about to walk on when Greg
ory Rose, with shining spurs, an os'
trlch feather in his hat and a silver
headed whip, careered past. He bow
ed gallantly as he went by. They
waited till the dust of the horse's hoofs
had bald.
, "There," said Lyndall, "goes a true

some women have to fill without be

so?"
"1 shall not sta$ here when he Is

connect any kind of beauty with Greg

"The' Kaffir girl threw some coffee on
my arm In bed this morning. I felt dis
pleased, but said nothing. Tant'- San
nie would have thrown the saucer at
her and sworn for an hour, but the
feeling would be the same irritated
displeasure. If a huge animated stom
ach like Bonaparte were put under a
glass by a skillful mental microscopist,
even he would be found to have an em
bryonic doubling . somewhere Indica
tive of a heart and rudimentary bud
dings that might have become con
science and sincerity. Let me take
your arm, Waldo. How full you are
of mealle dust! No? never mind., It
will brush off. And sometimes what is
more amusing still than tracing the
likeness between man and man is to
trace the analogy there always is be
tween the progress and development of
one Individual and 'of a whole nation
or, again, between a single nation and
the entire human race. It is pleasant
when it dawns on you that the one is
just the other written out in large let
ters and very odd to find-all the little
follies and virtues and developments
and retrogressions written out in the
big world's book that you find in your
little Internal self. It is the most
amusing thing I know of but of course,
being a woman, I have not often time
for such amusements. Professional
duties always first, you know. It takes
a great deal of time and thought al

for a pretty woman. Is the old buggy

"Yes. but the harness Is broken."

They had reached the house now.
'Tell me when you set to work," she
said and walked toward the door.
Waldo 6tood to look after her, and

It was just after sunset and Lyndall
had not yet returned from her first
driving lesson when the lean colored
woman, standing at the corner of the
house to enjoy the evening bree2e, saw
coming along the road a strange horse
man. Very narrowly she surveyed
him as he slowly approached. He was
attired In the deepest , mourning, the
black crape round his tall hat. totally
concealing the black felt and nothing
but a dasxllng shirt front relieving the
funereal tone of his attire. v He rode
much forward In his saddle, with, his
chin resting on the uppermost of his
shirt studs, and there was an air of
meek subjection to the will of heaven
and to what might be in store for him
that bespoke itself even in the way. in
Vyy CATHARTIC
which , he gently urged his steed. : He
was evidently In no huVry to reach his
destination, for the nearer he ap
proached to ft the slacker did his bri
dle hang. The colored woman, having
duly Inspected him, dashed Into the
dwelling..--
"Here is another one," she cried, "a
widower. I see It by his hat."
"Good Lord!" said Tant Sannie "It's
the seventh I've bad this month. But
the men know where sheep and good
looks and money In the bank are to be
found," she ' added,' winking knowing
ly. "How does he look?" s
"Nineteen, weak eyes, white hair, lit
tle round nose," said the maid.
"Then It's he, then It's he," said
Tant Sannie, triumphantly, "Little
Piet Vander Walt, whose wife died
ast month two farms, 12,600 sheep.
've not seen him. but my sister-in-law
told me about him, and I dreamed
about him last night."
Here Piet's black hat appeared in the
doorway, and the Boer woman drew
herself up in dignified silence, extend
ed the tips of her fingers and motioned
solemnly to a chair. The young man
seated himself, sticking his feet as far
nnder it as they would go, and said
mildly:
"I am Little Piet Vander Walt, and
my father is Big Piet Vander Walt."
Tant' Sannie said solemnly, "Yes."
"Aunt," said the young man, start-
, ,, r
Ing up spasmodically, "can I off sad
dle?" ,
"Yes." .. : : . : .
He seized his hat and disappeared
with a rush through the door.
"I told you sol I knew it!" said
Tant' Sannie. "The dear Lord doesn't
send dreams for nothing. Didn't I tell
you this morning that I dreamed of a
great beast like a sheep, with red eyes,
and I killed it? Wasn't the white wool
his hair, and the red eyes his weak
eyes, and my killing him meant mar
riage? Get supper ready quickly. The
sheep's Inside and roaster cakes. We
shall sit up tonight."
To young Piet Vander Walt that sup
per was a period of Intense torture.
Tbere was something overawing in
that assembly of English people, with
their incomprehensible speech and,
moreover, it was his first courtship.
His first wife had courted him, and
ten months of severe domestic rule had
not raised his spirit or courage. He
ate little and when he raised a morsel
to his lips glanced guiltily round to see
if he were not observed. He had put
three rings on his little finger, with the
intention of sticking It out stiffly when
he raised a coffee cup. - Now the little
finger was curled miserably among Its
fellows. It was small relief when the
meal was over and Tant' Sannie and
he repaired to the front room. Once
seated there, be set his knees close to
gether, stood his black hat upon them
and wretchedly turned the brim up and
down. But supper had cheered Tant'
Sannie, who found it impossible longer
to maintain that decorous silence and
whose heart yearned over the youth.
"I was related to your Aunt Selena
who died," said Tant' Sannie. "My
mother's stepbrother's child was mar
ried . to her father's brother's step-
nephew's niece."
"Yes, aunt," said the young man. "I
knew we were related."
"It was her cousin," said Tant San
nie, now fairly on the flow, "who had
the cancer cut out of her breast by the
other doctor, who was not the right
doctor they sent for, but who did it
quite as well."
. "Yes, aunt," said the young man.
"I've heard about It often," said
Tant' Sannie. "And he was the son of
the old doctor that they , say died on
Christmas day, but I don't know if
that's true. People do tell such awful
lies. Why should he die on Christmas
day more than any other day?"
"Yea. aunt, why?" said the young
man meekly.
"Did you ever have the toothache?"
asked Tant' Sannie.
"No, aunt."
"Well, they say that doctor not the
son of the old doctor that died on
Christmas day, the other that didn't
come when he was sent, for he gave
such good stuff for the toothache that
If you opened the bottle in the room
where any one was bad they got bet
ter directly. You could see it was good
stuff," said Tant' Sannie. "It tasted
horrjd. That was a real doctor! He
used to give a bottle so high," said the
Boer woman, raising her hand a foot
from the table. "You .could drink at
it for a month and It wouldn't get
done, and the same medicine was good
for all sorts of sicknesses croup, mea
sles, jaundice, dropsy. Now you have
to buy a new kind for each sickness.
The doctors aren't so good as they
used to be." ,
"No, aunt," said the young man, who
was trying to gain courage to stick out
his legs and clink his spurs together.
He did so at last
Tant Sannie had noticed the spurs
before, but she thought It showed a
nice, manly spirit and her heart warm

Science of Money
Editor Independent: Money Is 'a
science and should be studied as a
science. Like arithmetic, in order to
get any correct knowledge of It, the
study must be commenced in the right
place. There is but one right place
to begin it Like arithmetic it has its
rudiments and these rudiments should
be taken up and matured in their reg
ular logical order. : ' -
The school boy would not get along
very well to begin the study of arith
metic at the rule of three, or at com
mon fractions. If he did so he would
be in confusion and make no true pro
gress until he should begin at the right
place and have patience, to clear every
thing - up as he goes. The science of
money like arithmetic. ' has its rules
also, in which much is comprehended
in a few words, and these rules should
be committed to memory, aud every
word in them should be gotten in mind
just exactly right. Every young man
should study the science of money in
this manner before he comes to voting
age.; If this carefulness was used in
the study of the subject, we would
soon think nearly all alike, and not

About Dining Cars.
The verdict given by the general pub
lic that the great Rock Island route has
the best dining car service in the world
will not be disputed by patrons who
have used this line. Thousand of let
ters testify to this fact. A better meal
cannot be secured in any hotel or res
taurant in the cities of New York or
Chicago than is used in the Rock Island
Dining Cars.- A la carte on all cars: a
splendid lunch served on Colorado trains
for 50 cents. 4
