Irv the Fowler’s Srva.re^ ^' By M. B. MAN WELL f. ^4«- ,.4 CHAPTER VI.—(Continued.) Diana, who feared him with an in tensity that increased as time sped by, was left more and more alone in the little set of rooms at Montreal, until life became a dull and hopeless bur- • den for her. There was no ray of in- : tprnst In her heavy face tonight as she asked for her husband’s news. Paul on the other hand, wa3 quivering with unrepressed excitement. “I have got a fortune in my fingers, Diana—a fortune, I tell you!” he said jubilantly, as he drew up his chair to the little round supper table, from which Diana had risen to greet him. Paul had so often brought home fortunes that seemed at his fingers’ ends—fortunes that crumpled into dust ere they were grasped—that she felt little or no interest in them now. She was growing tired of the whole thing, particularly as she was now cut oft' from all participation in her husband's more intellectual ventures. “I ean’t see what good it’s going to do you,” she said at last, when he had explained. ”1 guess this girl ain't go ing to die off to suit you, Paul, and you can’t live on that bit of paper.” “What fools women are!" savagely broke in Paul. And his dark face took on au ugly look as he remembered that men, likewise, could be. fools, when they saddled themselves with such burdens as that of the heavy, dejected woman opposite him. “I’m going to Europe tomorrow— to England,” he said shortly. Diana looked up from her pie. "Shall you be gone long this time. Paul?’’ "I can’t quite say,” slowly said the scientist. "It will depend on many things. But I promise you, Diana, that I shan’t come back until I’ve got this In my clutch in hard cash.” Paul’s fingers played with the sheet of paper outspread before him. Diana Andsell shivered, and her white, fair face grew still more pallid In hue. That this man, her husband, was capable of the vilest scheming to win his way she already knew. Noth ing was sacred from such an arch plotter. And as she furtively watched hfs frowning, dark face while he pored over the handwriting before him, Di ana told herself half fearfully that Paul Andsell would keep lit* promise. He would return to her with the for tune, or he would never c<*tne back at all. CHAPTER VII. * Tt was Christmas Eve, and true old 'oned Christmas weather. . ue country round Temple-Dene §%as glittering with hoar-frost, every tree shining and sparkling in the sun, every pond and stream and pool fast bound in Ice. The low, red sun of the afternoon whs shining full on the old house, sur rounded by the frost-silvered pines, and its many windows twinkled a brilliant welcome to the expected h and his bride. There had been a great stir, a sht iner of wild excitement, under the old roof during the weeks preceding Christmas. Lady Jane had done wonders in freshening up the tarnished and faded glories of the home. She had a free hand, to be sure, in her wholesale im provements; for could not Gervis af ford to pay any amount of bills that might ensue? “If I could only rouse up poor dear Francis, before they come home,” the busy lady said, energetically. But the master of Temple-Dene was Hhe sole member of the house indiffer ent to the advent of the heir and his bride. Amid the turmoil of prepara tion he sat listless and silent In his library, “the world forgetting, by the world forgot.” If It had not been for Leila Des mond, It would have fared ill for the stricken man. The gentle-natured girl, with heart full of womanly in stl^ts, felt irresistibly drawn to tho lonely, silent man. He and she had a grief In common, and it bound them HMflttherr. It was only at the sound of SB&'s sweet voice, and the touch of Cptla's tender hand, that Francis Tem fjjPton over stirred from his trance of misery. Bui even Leila could not make the unhappy man comprehend that Tem pi*-Dene was saved, nor could he take In the meaning of the light-hearted preparations going on around. “I’m glad, glad, that Uncle Francis doesn’t care, that he won’t care!” said little Syb almost viciously to her elder sister. The misshapen girl looked on almost ss gloomily at the hurry and fuss as did the master of the house. She clenched her thin little fingers every time the bland, self-satisfied tones, so new in Lady Jana'S voice, fell on her ear. “Little Syb”—Leila turned her wist ful eyes on the girl—“it hurts me when you speak so!” “Hurts you? Oh, I could beat you, Leila, if I didn’t love you so dreadful ly that I should kill anyone who struck you! Hurt you? Oh, why were you made so good and I'made so bad? All the time I am wishing that some ac cident will happen to those two—a shipwreck or a railway collision—and that they will never, never reach Tem ple-Dene!” • “Syb!" again cried Leila. And this time she gathered the distorted little figure on her lap, and laid ber own soft round cheeks against the passion white lips. “What has come to you, niy dear one? Have you forgotten that 'Love workcth no ill to this neighbor, therefore love is the fulfill ing of the law'? How can you ‘put } on the Lord Jesus Christ,’ who died i tor you and me, and for those who are | coming home to us, if you let yourself , say such things? I know it is only saying them—I cannot believe you think them.” I^cila’s fresh mouth kissed the angry eyes. But I do think them! I feel what r say. Leila, what right has that Amer ican girl to take your Gervis from you? Everybody knows it was you ho want-' ed all the time, not any other. And everybody about the place is saying so!” hotly said little Syb. Hush!” Leila winced at Syb’s last words. “As for her right, we must re member every minute in the day that God has given her that right as—as Gervis’ wife." Bravely the words came, but they wrung the heart of the gentle speaker. "And, Syb, can t you take it in, once and for all, that we are not sent into the world to snatch at as much hap piness and self-pleasing as we can? In order to copy our dear I.>ord, even faintly, we must each give up some thing, and go on giving up until the cud comes. If Gervis had not given up his—his wishes, the old home would have been wrecked, his parents would have been beggars. I—I think it a great thing to sacrifice all yourself for those dear and near. Syb, I could give up anything for you.” "Fore me? Could you, Leila? Such a miserable, humpy, crooked little thing as I?” Syb’s lips quivered. “What matters it whether our bodies are straight or crooked? It is our souls that will live by and by in Para dise, if they are straight and true, the homes of pure thoughts and gentle deeds. Oh, Syb, try and cast out that passionate nature of yours. And when Gervis brings home his bride, let us be loving and kind to her, a stranger amid us all—think of it!'* "But shall you, Leila?" Syb stared. “Shall you really welcome her arid be nice to her—you?” she demanded, wonderstruck at such a possibility. “God helping me, I shall,” gravely said Leila, and she meant it. It was not that her old love for Gervis had died a sudden death; but because he was now the husband of another woman, bound to love and care for her “until death them did part,” that Leila could put him out of her life, save as the man who had saved his old home and his parents from earthly ruin. If Gervis could attain td such a sac rifice as he had made, could she her self not Imitate his self-abnegation in her life? And the passion-distraught llttl® sister must be brought round somehow, and taught to welcome the new comer into the family. It was a difficult task to persuade the ntamable spirit. Though Syb was but thirteen years of age, she had a grown up mind and one as distorted as her poor little body. “I should like to see her lying dead— that American girl!” said the deformed girl when Leila’s persuasive voice ceased. "You see,” wrent on Syb, “if she were dead, Gervis would have all her money, of course, and he could marry you.” Leila groaned. This horrible. In human wish was the only result of her efforts to soften the ungoverned heart. “That’s why I keep on v/ishlng something would happen to them!" vehemently Insisted Syb. “Happen to whom?” Lady Jane’s voice startled the sisters, and Syb slip ped off Leila’s knee. “I've just had a wire from Gervis. They are in Ijondon and will be here today," she went on hurriedly. “And they are bringing a friend with them, a Mr. Ansdell. 1 fancy it is the same man w’bo saved the whole train, you remember, from a terrible fire in the midst of the prai ries.” “Yes, ‘Ansdell’ was that man’s name, dear aur.iy," said Leila, "a well-known scientist, Gervis said he was.” Leila spoke the name of her lover she had lost in a controlled, calm voice. The help she had sought was vouch safed her abundantly. “Well, we must be good to him in that case. But our house has been filling up this week until there's hard ly a decent room left for this stranger. And, Leila, my dear, I want your help again. Our arrangements are not quite finished.” Lady Jane rushed off as rapidly as she had come. There was to be a large party of old and young on Christmas night at Tem ple-Dene. For years there had been almost no entertaining in the partially ruined home. The Christmas gather ing was, therefore, looked forward to by the neighborhood with keen expec tation. “It is to be quite an old-fashioned Christmas party, with a tree and blind man's buff and romps—-neither mere nor less,” Lady Jane warned them. “It should have been, properly speak ing, on Christmas eve; but our dear young people will not arrive until that day, so our merry-making must be on the twenty-fifth.” It was late afternoon when the fam ily carriage, newly furnished, came up the steeps from the roadside station, and reached the Temple-Dene avenue of tall flra, whose stately trunks were mlding in the sun's dying glare. "We’re at home now, Gladdy! We'n on our own land at laat. Welcome, dear wife, to Temple-Dene!” Gervis bent forward and lifted In hla the little hands lying listlessly on Gladdy's lap. Perhaps, if they two had been alone, he would have kissed his welcome as well as said it; hut they were not alone. Frtjm a corner of the roomy old carriage a pair of dark rest less eyes roved over the enow-covered landscape. Gladdy, at her husband's words, lift ed her head to look out also, and It was startling to note how she had al tered. There was a peculiarly wasted appearance and an unutterable listlcs3 ness not natural in one so young. It needed a distinct effort for her to sur vey her new home; to speak she made no attempt. Gervis drew back disap pointed. "Haven’t you a word of praise, my dear, for your own home?" he asked. “It's all very nice, but it is so cold, and I never liked pine trees,” Gladdy forced herself to say. And she shiv ered under her Parisian wraps and her costly furs. "They always make me shudder, they are so gloomy,” she add ed piteously. “She’s fearfully nervous,” thought Gervis. But there was no sign of it when Gladdy stepped out of the carriage and into Lady Jane’s widely welcoming arms. A self-possessed, wistful-eyed little bride it was who lifted her cold cheek for her mother-in-law’s kiss; a dainty figure, in truth, in its costly furs. But the face under the green velvet toque, with its diamond buckle and mxlding feathers, was not the face of a shy, happy bride, and for a moment I^iidy Jane stared, half puzzled. Then Gervis was clasped in his mother’s arms and held tight. If her ladyship had a soft corner in her worldly, ambitious heart it was for her boy, the son who had done so much for herself .and the old home. The bride stood apart, a pathetic little figure in her momentary loneli ness. Leila, who had been shrinking behind the person of l*ndy Jano, quick ly noticed it, forced herself to go for ward. "May I bid you welcome? I am I^ila. Perhaps Gervis has told you that his cousins, Sybil and I, have lived here since we were almost babies— Syb, at least, was a baby.” Leila's winsome, tender fare wa« bent close to Gladdy, who was slightly shorter in stature than she. Her low, rich voice, with its caressing note, stirred sometnlng in Gladdy’s heart, and she moved eagerly forward—so eagerly that their lips met in a cling ing kiss before Leila had quite made up her mind to greet the bride with anything warmer than a stiff hand shake. "I didn’t know there was any Leila,” said Gladdy, in her sweet, childish tones. "Gervis did not tell me. But I am so glad! Please take me away somewhere. Let us go together, you and I, I am so weary!” Leila was startled. Go away to gether, the bride and she! It sounded bewilderingly strange. And—and had Gervis forgotten her so utterly that her name had never been uttered to hia newly made wife? The thought wrung her gentle heart. (To be continued.) FRUIT FLIES. Small Imei U Among Canned Fruit on the Shelve*. Often housekeepers who do not take sufficient pains with the sealing of the cans of fruit they put away in the fall, find on tho surface of the contents lit tle, slender maggots, feeding on the contents. These larvae are probably of the species called fruit flies. They belong to a class of insects containing some,thirty kinds. The flie3 are light brown in color. They are so small that they are commonly thought of as ordinary gnats. They are attracted by the acrid odor of vinegar as well as fruit. Stone jars simply covered with a cloth to allow the fermentation ol vinegar are easily invaded by the in sects, which lay their eggs on th« pieces of fruit that are projecting above the surface of the fluid. The hatching of the larvae is soon follow ed by the formation of the pupae, which are found on the sides of the cans, usually. Some four days later the flies issue and begin the round of production again, multiplying with great rapidity. It is a characteristic ol the larvae of these flies to live only in upper layers of tho fruit and this fact makes it possible to save at least a portion of the contents of the Jars. Fruit put in cans and sealed up air tight is safe. Eggs laid upon cloth tops or near slight openings between lid and can often hatch into worms that find a way inside. Pyrethrum powder used in the fruit room or cel lar will have a good effect in clearing out the flies and this, with the pre cautions mentioned in connection with canning, should rid a place of the in sects.—George Edwin Black in Indian apolis News. Veterinary Surgeon's Hard Lark, Veterinary surgeons are complaining of hard luck. With the cable cars, the trolley cars and now the automobiles, their business has gone to the dogs, metaphorically speaking. Soon there will be as many surgeons as there are horses. It is nearly as bad as that now, and, as automobiles become cheaper and the likelihood of airships coming in to supplement them grows, the prospect is not a bright one. Lots of New York veterinaries are giving up the attempt to make a living and are coming west. There are at present thirteen Incor porated automobile clubs In the United States. State Capital Observations. Expressions Emulative for the Good of Republican Supremacy, Lincoln, Neb., December 3, 1000. Governor-elect Dietrich is starting out on his career as governor of Ne braska in a way and at such a pace as to warm to the uttermost the cockles of the hearts of those who are respon sible for him being where he is. He has already made some appoint ments and in each instance the choice has been a good one, and eminently satisfactory to everybody, save, of course those who bad figured on the job aud made an error in calculation. The remarks made concerning Mr. Dietrich's appointments are exceeding ly complimentary, and come not only from his own political party people, but also from the other side. Governor Dietrich is a firm believer in the efficacy of a board of control for state institutions, and ho will incor porate in liis message to the legisla ture a very strong recommendation for the passage of a measure providing for the appointment of a board which shall have the matter of purchasing supplies for all institutions and the disbursing of such as their especial duty. Governor Dietrich has from the outset declared most emphatically and unequivocally that the state institu tions must be managed in a business like manner, and he has gone a long way toward securing this desirability by appointing ns heads of institutions men whose honesty and fitness are eminent to a very large degree. All citizens of the state will undoubtedly give to Mr. Dietrich their hearty sup port in his efforts to place the state institutions in the very best shape possible. The republican state offiecrs-elect held a meeting1 at the Lindell hotel Friday night last, and at this meeting, after Governor Dietrich had announced that he would appoint as the head of the Bastings asylum forchronic insane : \V. ]{. Kern of Wood ltiver, the officers* elect went over the list of appoint ments, and a long time was spent in a discussion of political aspects of pat ronage distribution. When the meet ing was over. Mr. Dietrich announced that he desired all applicants for posi tions in the various state institutions under the superintendents to make their requests for place to the superin tendents he has named. Be said that he would not appoint any of the sub orninates without the consent of the superintendents anti that in the future the word of the superintendent would have the greatest weight with him. 1 This action is taken in accordance with the plan of the governor to hold the i heads of institutions responsible for die work under their charge. The number of applicants has become so large that action of this kind was nec essary for other considerations. The question cf the governor's mes sage was an important one before the meeting. Mr. Dietrich is very favorably impressed with tiie proposi tion of lessening the number of dis trict judges in the state and he has de cided to advocate this measure in his address to the legislature. He did not state any details in connection with this and will probably leave all such matter to the legislature. ! In addition Mr. Dietrich announced that he will advocate a bill providing for the appointment of a supreme court commission of five members for the pur pose of clearing up the docket of the supreme eourt. which has become con gested. The demand for this has be come so general that the governor will advocate this measure for the relief of litigants. Another meeting will be held Friday, December 14. Bt A slight rest has been given to state patronage but a constant endeavor is being made to secure places though the opinion is quite general that ap plicants now stand but very little show. A new proposition w liicli has been sprung of late is that lady clerks in the state house or the various de partments where there is not strict need of woman's work, are less benefi cial than the work of men. It is argued that women are in every sense less of politicians than men and that the reward of a man by a place when lie is competent to till it will do that much more good to the party. This plan would receive the hearty indorse ment of campaign managers undouht i edly for the ladies have the reputation of beiug less liberal with their ad vances to the political funds unless the the plan of the fusinists should be adopted where there is no choice. The ; scheme to shut out the ladies will hard ly win, however, for sentimental rea I sons, if for no other. When the re ! port was known that a movement was on foot to make some such demand, quite a flurry was created in feminine circles. *. H James Whitehead, register of the United States land office at Broken Bow, was in Lincoln recently. “We feel pretty good,” he said,“over the way Custer county went at the re cent election. Our county was un doubtedly the home of populism in Nebraska. It popped in 1880 and has been at it ever since with alarming regularity. At the last election we elected a republican state senator, F. M. Currie, by 151 majority. Before the nominating convention Mr. Currie declined to be a candidate for re-elec tion and offered to write out a check for SI.000 if wo would let him off. He believed another campaign would be that much of a loss to him in his busi ness. We gave Kinkaid, republican candidate for congress, 34 majority. Bryan received a majority of only 11, whereas four years ago he carried the county by over 100, and last year Ilol f comb carried it by 000 majority. One republican was beaten this year by only 15 votes and he has commenced a contest. Four members of the county board were to be elected and we elect ted all of them, giving us a majority on the board.” Mr. Whitehead says the Broken Bow land ofliee. which was established in 1800, has done a larger business this year than ever before. The homestead entries for the past four months will reach eighty for each month. The cat tle industry is the great industry of the county. The district contains thousands of acres of grazing lands. This land has been largely used for several yearsand stockmen have grown rich upon it. In that country there is no talk of a clash between the home steaders and the cattlemen. Senator-elect A. It. Olesonof ruining county, was among the legislators who were in Lincoln last week. Mr. Ole son is a bright young man who was reared in Cuming county. He left his home for a few months and was in duced to run for office at Fremont, where he voted. During that time he visited his home in Cuming county every week or two and in all that time he kept his personal property there, llis seat is to be contested on the ground that lie had not lived continu ously one year in Cuming county prior to his election. He will have been in the county one full year when betakes his seat in the senate. Notwithstand ing the contest. Mr. Oleson has en gaged rooms at the Lindell hotel for the entire session. He says he will be in Lincoln all winter regardless of the contest. A friend suggested that Mr. Oleson had better prove his residence in Cuming county and stand the con sequences of voting Illegally in Fre mont. Mr. Oleuf.n said he would not mind a short f~ .prisonment for voting at the wrong place, but he believed the fusionists would not make any thing by contesting his election for the reason that on their side was a sim ilar case, only a much plainer case. )i h The threatened contest of the seat of F. O. Hawxby in the house has been filed. Notice has been served upon Judge Waters of Lancaster coun ty that depositions will be taken be fore him in the ease on December 8., Hawxby Is the student, a member of the senior law class of the state uni versity who voted in precinct A of the Fourth ward last April. He then swore that his residence was in this county and it is believed by his op ponent, T. .1. Crummel. thereby gave up his residence In Nemaha county where he was elected. The custom has been to permit students to vote at their homes even though they are away the greater part of the year at tending school. In this instance Hawxby gave his residence with his parents in Nemaha county to vote in Lincoln. The settlement of the ques tion promises to be interesting. » * Myron Wheeler, who has lately held a position in the custom house at Ha vana, is here In the interest of Melkle john.

Matters are quiet now, but they are gradually shaping them selves as he believes satisfactorily. Farmer*' Frlghteniome Interpretation, A farmer in southern Missouri re cently received some garden seeds from the Department of Agriculture in an official envelope, on the outside of which was printed the usuifl warning: “Penalty for private use, $300.” H« immediately sent them back, with a letter to the effect that he had not used one of them and was not subject to any fine.

Without doubt the youngest officer in the world is the son of the Turkish consul general in Taurus, Persia. Ho is only two and a half years old. A short time ago the wife of the Turkish plenipotentiary obtained an audience with the crown princess of Persia, and, as is the custom of the country, brought along her youngest son. The princess and her spouse busied them selves with the little boy, and the prince took such an interest in him that he made him an officer in the Persian army, and himself fastened the Insignia of rank on the bov's breast. DUmlMfd for “Gouging.** The secretary of the navy dismissed from the naval academy last week, on recommendation of the superintendent, a cadet found guilty of '‘gouging,’* wdiich is the slang for dishonesty in work, in this case the copying as his own of a theme written by another ca det, and of falsehood. Fifty-six mem bersof his class petitioned the secre tary to exercise clemency, and are all placed in the third conduct grade for insubordination, which permits them to liave liberty but once in four weeks. When Her I.tick Cli.tngetJ. An actress who is now acting in a prominent New York theater found herself so little in demand a few years ago that she was about to abandon all effort to remain in her profession, lern how to manipulate the typewriter, and seek her fortune in that line of work. Just at the time when her pros pects looked darkest, she inherited a small sum of money which she had never expected to get. It proved enough to enable her to make a start in the way she wanted, and after a while she went to New York, where she met with a degree of success that no actress so little known had ever enjoyed before.

Om Woman Who Ha* Dons a Groat lira! to l‘ut Down Thla Kvll. Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 3.—(Spe cial)—When the Independent Order of Good Templars of Minnesota wanted a State Organizer they chose Mrs. Laura J. Smith, of 1217 West 33d Street, this city. The American Anti Treat League also selected Mrs. Smith, as National Organizer. The reason la not far to seek. This gifted woman has devoted her life to a battle against Drink and Drinking Habits. Her in fluence for good in Minnesota is and has been very far reaching. About two years ago however, it seemed as if this noble woman would have to give up her philanthropic work. Severe pains in her back and under her shoulder blades, made Ufa a burden and work impossible. Physi cians were consulted, and they pre scribed for Kidney Disease. Three month’s treatment however, failed to give Mrs. Smith any relief. Her hus band was much exercised, and cast about him for something that would restore his good wife to health and strength. He heard of the cures ef fected by Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and ad vised her to try them, which she did. She Is now a well woman and says: "Two weeks after 1 commenced tak ing Dodd’s Kidney Pills, I felt mucht better, and at the end of seven weeks was completely cured. I have had no recurrence of the trouble, but I taka a pill off and on, and find that it keeps me in good health.” Dodd’s Kidney Pills are for sale by all dealers at 50 cents a box. They are easily within the reach of all, and no woman can afford to suf fer, when such a simple, and sure Remedy is at hand. Fortune is ofttimes kindest to those on whom she frowns.
