If, when 1 got your letter a month ago, hinting at four willingness to marry me, I had at nee, written, Imploring you to come, Yfu would have read the letter.1 'Poor little devil r you would have said and tore It up. The next week you would have sailed for Europe and have sent me a 'check for 150, which I would have thrown in the fire, and I would bave beard no more of you." .The stranger smiled. "But' because I de clined your proposal, and wrote that in three weeks I should be married to an other, then what you call love woke up. Tour man's love is a child's love for butterflies. You follow till you bave the thing and break it. If you bave broken one wing; and the thing flies still, then-you love it more than ever and follow "till you break both. Then you are satisfied when It lies Still on the ground." "You " are ' profoundly wise in the Jways of the world. You have seen far Into life," he said. , . . . He might as well have sneered at the firelight. . "I have seen enough to tell me that you love me because you cannot bear to be resisted and want to master me. Sou liked me at first because I treated you and all men with indifference. You resolved to have me because 1 seemed unattainable. That Is all your love means." ' lie felt a strong Inclination to stoop down and kiss the little lips that defied him, but he restrained himself. ,. He said quietly, "And you loved me" "Because yotiare .strong. . You are the first man I ever was afraid of. And" a dreamy, look came into her face "because I 'like to experience, I like to try. You don't understand that." He smiled., "Well, since you will not marry me, fii.iy I Inquire what your intentions are, the plan you wrote of? You asked me to come and hear it, and I have come.". 5 w j". "I said, Cme If you.wish.'- If you agree to it, well; If not; I marry on Monday." "WelL" She was still looking beyond him at the fire., "I cannot marry you," she said slow ly, "because I cannot be tied; but,. if you wish, you may take me . away with you and take care of me. Then when we do not love any4 more we can aay goodby. -I will not go down coun try," she added. "I will not go to Eu rope. You must take me to the Trans vaal. That is out of the world. People we meet there we need not see again In our future lives." - "Oh, my darling," he said, bending tenderly and holding his hand out to her, "why will you not give yourself entirely to me? One day you will de sert me and go to another." She shook her head without looking at him. - "No; life Is" too long." But I will go with you."

You can understand that It is necessary for me." . He seemed lost in consideration. Then he said: . vit-ls better to have you on those conditions than not at alL If you will have it, letjt be so." He sat looking at her. On her face was the weary look that rested there so often now when she sat alone. Two months had not passed since they part ed, but the time had aet, ita. mark on her. 'He looked at her carefully, from the brown; smooth. forehead to the lit tle, crossed feet6ntlie floor. . A worn look had grown over the little face, and It made Its. charm for him stronger, for pain and , time, which trace deep lines and write a story on a human face, have a strangely different effect ou one face and another. The face that is only fair, even very fair, they mar and flaw, but to the face whose beauty is the harmony between that which speaks from within and the form through which it speaks power is added by all that causes the outer man to bear more deeply the Impress of the Inner. ': The pretty woman fades with the roses on her cheeks and the girl hood that lasts an. hour. The' beautiful woman finds her fullness of bloom only when a past has written itself on her, and her power is then most irre sistible when it seems going. From under their half closed lids the keen eyes looked down at her. Her shoulders were bent. For a moment the little figure had forgotten Its queen ly bearing and drooped wearily. The wide dark eyes watched the fire very softly. ' ,t ' - ' , . -h , It certainly was not In her power to resist faim nor any strength In her that made his own at that moment .grow soft as he looked at her. . ; . ; He touched one little hand that rest ed on her knee. ."Poor little thing!" he raid. "You are only a child." '. She did not draw her" hand away from his and looked up at him. "You are very tired?" ' "Yes." ; A She looked Into his eyes as a little child might whom a long day's play had saddened. ' He lifted heir gently up and sat her on his knee. . '-' "' :" - "Poolittle thing!" he said. She turned her fact to his shoulder and buried It against his neck. Ho wound his strong arm about her and held her clese to him. When she had sat for a tcng while, be drew with his hand the face down and held it against his arm. He kissed it and then put it back in Its old resting place. ' "Don't you want to talk to me?" ; : ' ""No." - ,-v.v '' "Have you forgotten the night in the avenue?" ; n He could feel that she shook her head. : . , ' ' ' ' "Do you want to be quiet nowr" "Yes." ,. ' -y! "'-T . They sat quite still, excepting that only sometimes he raised her 'fingers softly to his mouth. ; ; V : Doss, " who had been asleep In the corner, waking suddenly, planted him self before them, his wiry legs moving nervously, his yellow eyes filled, with anxiety, He was not at all sure that Lives are saved by Dr. WilliamsPinkPills fcfcPale &MJm Mr. O. H. Snyder. 1310 Loaiaiaoa St.. Lewreaee, Kansas, tells how he was cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. He says: ' " I am now seventy years of age. About three years ago I experienced a coldness or numbness in the feet, then creeping up my' legs until It reached my body. I grew very thiA AzL flesh," my "appetite was vetm poor and I did not'relish mytood. .At last I became so bad I was unable to raqve about. X consulted several distinguished physicians, one, telling me that I had locomotor ataxia, another, that I had creeping paralysis. I took their med icines but they did me no good and I continued to grow worse. , ' One day nearly a year ago, a friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People., I Immediately commenced their use, throwing all other medicines away. Before I had finished my' first bos I found that they were benefiting me.' I used twelve boxes in all and was perfectly cured Although It Is over six months since I used my last : pill there has been no recurrence of the disease. My appetite Is now good and my general health Is better than It has been for many years." ' ' To. save a life when -medical science fails is a, miracle. To restore good health when hope has been aban doned is a miracle. To conquer disease long supposed incurable is a miracls. All this, and more , is accomplished by Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. If everybody understood the potent power oj this wonderful remedy muck needless suf fering would be prevented many lives would be saved. . i ' t: Dr.WUlUuns' link Pills for Pale People are Sold by all drugtiMta.

"I must go," she said. The stranger wrapped the shawl very carefully about her. t "Keep it close around your face, Lyn dall. It is very damp, outside. .. Shall 1 walk with you to the house?" :., "No. Lie down and rest. I will come and wake you at 3 o'clock." . She lifted her face that he might kiss It, and when be had kissed it once she still held It that he might kiss It again. Then he let her out. He had seated himself at the fireplace when she re opened the door. "Have you forgotten anything?" "No." , , . She gave, one long,, lingering look at the old room. When she was gone and the door shut, the stranger filled his glass and sat at the table ipplng It thoughtfully. " The night, outside was misty and damp. The faint moonlight, trying to force Its way through the thick air, made darkly visible the outlines of the buildings. The stones and walls were moist, and now and then a drop, slowly collecting, fell from the eavea to the ground. Doss, not liking the change from the cabin's warmth, ran quickly to the kitchen doorstep, but his mis tress walked slowly past him and took her way up the winding footpath that ran beside the stone wall of the camps. When she came to the end of the last camp, she threaded her way among the stones and bushes till Bhe reached the German's grave. " 'Why she' had' come there she hardly knew. She stood looking down. Suddenly she bent and put one band on the face of a wet stone,1'- '. : - "1 shall never come . to you again," she said. Then she knelt on the ground and leaned her face upon the stones. "Dear old man, "good old man,; I am so tired!" she said, for we will come to the dead to tell secrets we would never have told to the living. "I am so tired! There is light, there is warmth!" she wailed. "Why am I alone, so hard, so cold? I am go weary of myself! Itja eating my; soul He. its core self, self, self ! I cannot bear this life! I can not breathe I cannot , live! Will noth ing free me from myself?" She pressed her cheek against the wooden post. "1 want to love! I want something great and pure to lift me to itself! bear old man, I cannot bear it any more! I am so cold so hard! so hard!' Will no one help me?" The water gathered slowly on her shawl and fell on to the wet stones, but she lay there crying bitterly, for so the living soul Will cry to the dead and the creature to Its God, and of all this crying there comes nothing. The lift ing up of the hands' brings no salva tion. Redemption is from .within, and neither from God ;,nor man. It is wrought out by the soul itself with suf fering and through time. Doss, on the kitchen doorstep, shiv ered and wondered .where his mistress staid so long, and once, sitting sadly there In the damp, he had (dropped asleep and dreamed that old Otto gave him a piece of bread and patted him on the head, and when he woke his teeth chattered, and he moved to an other stone to see If it was drier. At last .he heard his mistress step, and they went into the house together. She lighted a candle and walked to the Boer woman's bedroom. On a nail un der the lady in pink "hung the key of the wardrobe. She took it down and opened the great press. . From a little 'drawer she took 50, all she had in the world, relocked the door and turned to hang up the key. v Then she paused, hesitated. The marks of tears were still on her face, but she smiled. "Fifty pounds for a lover! A noble reward !'' she . said and opened ; the wardrobe and returned the notes to the drawer, where Em might find them. Once In her own room, she arranged the few articles she Intended to take tomorrow, burned her old letters and then went back to the front room to look at the time. There were two hours yet before she must' call him. She sat down at the dressing table to wait and leaned her elbows on It and buried - her face in her hands. . The. glass reflected the little brown ; head with its even parting and the tiny hands on which it rested. "One day I will love something utterly, and then I will be better," she said once. - Pres ently she looked up. The large dark eyes Xrom the glass. looked back at her. She looked deep into, them. ; p .. . "We are; all. alone, you and I," she whispered. t"Np one helps, us; noone understands us. But we will , help our selves." -; The eyes looked back, at her. There was a world - of assurance In their still depths. .... So they, had looked at her ever since she could remember, when it was, but a small child's face above a blue pinafore. "We shall nev er be quite alone, you and I," she said. "We. shall always be together, as we were when we were little.".,, i , t The beautiful eyeTT looked into the depths of her soul. ; ;. "We are not afraid. We will help ourselves!" : she said. She stretched out her hand and pressed it over their on the glass. "Dear eyest We wij never be quite aloue till they part us tiU then!" , . T GH AFTER XXIII. " GREGORY ROSE HAS AN IDE.'.. Gregory Rose was In the loft putting it neat. Outside the rain poured. A s!x months' drought had broken, and the' thirsty plain . was drenched ,with water. . What it could not swallow ran, oft In mad rivulets to the" great "sloot" that now foamed like an angry river. across the flat Even the little furrow between the farmhouse and the kraals was now a stream, knee deep which almost,, bore away the .

Gregory as be worked In the loft took no notice of it beyond stuffing a sack into the broken pane to keep it out, and, In spite of the pelt and patter, Em's clear voice might be heard through the open trapdoor from the dining room, where she sat at , work, singing the "Blue Water" . '... , "And take me sway, 1 And take me away, . And" take me away . ; ' To the Blue Water" - that quaint childish song of the people that has a world of sweetness and sad, vague yearnjng when sung over and over dreamily by a woman's voice as she sits alone at her work. But Greg- ory beard neither that nor yet the loud laughter of the Kaffir maids that every now and again broke through from the. kitchen, where they joked and worked. Of late Gregory bad grown strangely Impervious to the sounds and . sights about him.' His lease had run out, but Em had said: "Do not renew it. 1 need one to help me. Just stay on." And she had added : "You must not remain in your own little house. Live with me. You can look after my ostriches better so."-. ' ' And Gregory did not thank her. What difference did it - make to him, paying; rent or not, living there or not? It was all one. ; But yet he came. Em wished Ithat he would still sometimes talk of the strength and master right of man, but Gregory , was as one smit ten on the cheek bone. " She might do what she pleased, he would find no fault, had no word to say;; He had for gotten that It Is man's rfgbt to rule. On that rainy morning hehad lighted his pipe at the kitchen fire , and when breakfast was over stood in the front door watching the water rush down the road till the pipe died out tn his mouth. , Em saw she must do some thing for him and found him a large Calico duster. He had sometimes talked of putting the loft neat, and today she could find nothing else for him to do. So she had the ladder put to the trap door that he need not go out In the wet, and Gregory with the broom and duster mounted to the loft. Once at work,' he - worked hard. . . He . dusted down the very rafters and cleaned the broken candle molds and bent forks that had stuck In the thatch for 20 years. He placed .the black bottles neatly In rows on an old box in the cor ner and piled the skins on one another and sorted the rubbish In all the boxes, and at 11 o'clock his work was almost done. He ; seated himself on , the packing case which had once held Waldo's books and proceeded ' to examine the contents of another which he had not yet looked at. ' It was carelessly nailed down. He loosened one plank and be gan to lift out various articles of fe male attire ' old fashioned caps, aprons, dresses with long pointed bod ies " such as he remembered to have seen his mother wear , when he was a little child. He shook them out care fully to see there were no moths and then sat down to fold them up again one by one. They had belonged to Em's mother, and the box as packed at her death had stood untouched and forgotten these long years.' She must have been a tall woman, that mother of Em's, for when he stood up to shake out a dress 'the neck was on a level with his.: and .the skirt touched the ground. Gregory laid a nightcap out on his knee and began rolling up. the strings, but presently his fingers mov ed slower and slower, then his chin rested on his breast, and finally the im ploring ; blue eyes were fixed on the frill abstractedly. When Em's voice' called to him from the foot of the lad der, he started and threw the nightcap behind him. . She was only come to tell him that his cup of soup was ready, and' when he could hear that she was gone he picked' p the nightcap again and a great brown sun ;kapje," Just such a "kapje" and ; such a dress as one . of those; be remembered to have sien a Sister of .Mercy . wear. , Gregory's mind was very full of thought - He took down a fragment ' of an old locking glass from behind a beam and put the "kapje" on. His beard looked some what 'grotesque under ! It ''. He put - up his hand to' hide it. - That was better. The blue eyes looked out , with mild gentleness that became eyes looking out x from ; under a "kapje." Next he took ; the brown ; dress and, looking round furtively, . slipped ;. It over hls head. :l He had just got his arms In the sleeves and was trying to hook up the back when an Increase in the patter of the rain at the window made him drag it off hastily. When he perceived there was no one coming, 'he tumbled the things back i?te the box and, covering CANDY I I -SiT CATHARTIC 7 , V VRAOt MARK ataiSWtf 0 it carefully, went down the ladder. Em was still at her work, trying to adjust a new needle in the machine. Gregory drank his soup and then sat before her. an awful and mysterious look in his eyes. "I am going to town tomorrow," he said. "I'm almost afraid you won't be able to go," said Em, who was Intent on her needle. "I don't think it Is going to leave off today." . VI am going," said Gregory. Em looked up. "But the 'sloots' are as full as rivers. You cannot go. We can wait for the post," she said. ... "I am not going for the post," said Gregory impressively.: , Em looked for explanation. None came.' ' "When will you be back r "I am not coming back." "Are you going to your friends?" Gregory waited, then caught her by the wrist, 'r- ' :: "Look here, Em," he said between his teeth. "I can't stand it any more? I am going to her." Since that day when he .had come home and found Lyndall gone he had never talked of her, but Em knew who It was who needed to be spoken of by no name. . " . , She said when he had released her hand: . . "But you do not know where she Is7 "Yes, I do. She was in Bloemfontein when 1 heard last I will go there, and I will find out where she went then, and then, and then! 1 will bave her!" Em turned the wheel quickly, and the ill adjusted needle sprang Into 20 fragments. . "Gregory," she said, "she does not want us. She told us so clearly in the letter she wrote." A. flush rose on her face as she spoke. : "It will only be pain to you, Gregory. Will she lie to have you near her?" ,' - JThere was an answer he might have made, but it was his secret and he did not choose to share it He said only: "I am going." . . "Will you be gone long, Gregory?" "I do not know. ' Perhaps I shall never come back. Do what you please with my things. I cannot stay here." r He rose from his seat. ."People say forget, forget!" .he cried, pacing the room. "They are mad! They are fools! Do they 6ay so to tnen who are dying of thirst forget forget? Why Is it. only to us they say so? It Is a He toay that time makes It easy! It is afterward, afterward, that it eats in at your heart! r;. All these months." he cried bitterly, "I have lived here quietly, day after day, as if I cared for what I ate and what I drank and what! did!'. 1 care for nothing! 1 can not bear it!'- I will not! Forget" for get!'? ejaculated Gregory. ; " You can forget all the world, but you cannot forget yourself. When one thing is more to you than yourself, how are you to forget It?: ?t :lC;'v "I read," he said "yes, and then I come to a word she used, and it Is all back with me again! I go to count my sheep, arid I ,see her face before me. and 1 stand and let the sheep run by. i look at you, and in your smile, a something' at the corner of your Hps, 1 see'her. How can' 1 forget her when, whenever I turn, she is there and not there? I cannot I wlU not live where I do not see her! . .. "I know what you think,'" he said, turning upon Ena. "You think I am. mad; you think I am going' to see whether she will not ; like me! I am not so foolish. 1 should have known at first she never could suffer me. Who am I, what am 1, that she should look at me? If any one says it is not It is a lie! I am not going to speak to her," he added, "only to see her. only to stand sometimes in a place where she has stood before." CHAPTER XXIV. ATT UNFINISHED UETTEB. ' , Gregory Rose had been gone seven months. Em sat alone on a white sheepskin before the fire. The August wind,' weird and shrill, howled round the , chimneys and through the crannies and in walls and doors And uttered a long, low cry as it forced its way among the clefts of the stones on the "kopje." It was a wild night ; The prickly pear tree, stiff and upright as It held Its arms, felt the wind's might . and knocked Its flat leaves heavily together till great branches broke off. The Kaffirs as they slept In their straw huts whis pered one to another that before morn-' ing there would not be an armful of thatch left on .the roofs, and the beams of the wagon house creaked and groan ed as if it were heavy work to resist the Importunity of the wind. . Em had not' gone to bed. Who could sleep on a night like this? So in the dining room she had lighted a fire and sat on the ground . before it turning the roaster cakes that lay on the coals to bake. It would save ' work in the morning,4 ahd she blew but the light because the wind through the window chinks made It flicker and run, and she sat singing to herself as she watched the cakes. They lay at one end of the wide hearth on a bed of coals, and at the other end a Are burned up stead- How' This!

Mutual Hail Insurance The season for Hail Insurance is close at hand. Every one in Nebraska fully realizes the danger of loss of crops by hail Storm. A farmer's growing crop li as important and valuable to him as are his buildings. To protect him from thf loss of bis buildings be carries insur ance against fire- AU business mer in the cities do the same. They alsc carry insurance to protect their stock of merchandise which is sufficient t prove the wisdom of the principle of in surance. It is equally important for th' farmer to protect his "stock of mer chandise" bis growing crops in case of loss by hail. The danger to the mer chants 'stock" is f jre, and he insures against losss by fire. The danger to the farmers" stock of merchandise" is hail an' t s equallv important that he should insure against loss by hail. . The mosit substantial 4 and intelligent farmers realizing the importance of hail insurance organized the United Mutual Hail Insurance Association. Nothing has more clearly, shown the business ability and high intelligence of Nebraska farmers than the success of this com pany. It bas been conducted in an eco nomical andi business way, and has paid its losses with greater promptness than any other Hail Insurance Company ; in the United States Its field is limited to 54 counties in . the eastern part of the state. Farmers interested in hail insur ance will find the United Mutual safe, conservative, satisfactory.
