"And hecatombs of doves were slain upon the altars of Aphrodite, for the Greeks admired this goddess of love greatly am’. made daily sacrifices to her." The student leaned hack ami closed ( tier book unwillingly, her Ungers ca ' ressing its covers while her eyes wan ' dered to the sunset beginning to glow ! among the pines. As she gazed an odd smile twisted her lips. “In these later days we sacrifice not only doves, but eagles," she mur mured dreamily. Then with sudden passion: “Oh, love, what monstrous murders are committed daily in your name—murder of mind and moral! Life after life broken and bruised at your breast." Her brows knitted slowiy and again that odd smile crept to her lips. Two years ago Helen Nord had found herself alone In the world. That she was penniless had not troubled her. She knew of a place where she could live on ten dollars a month and save money. Moreover she fancied that she could go to that place and make the ten dollars. It was in the Pine Ilarrens of south Mississippi. There were a couple of small public schools there, lying a few miles apart, one of which was taught in summer and one in winter, each having a term of four months and paying about a hundred dollars per term. When she applied to the county superintendent for information, he gave her besides a bit of advice three bits—"Teach the schools honestly; keep your mouth shut; don't ilirt with the girls’ sweet hearts.” She thanked him. feeling the advice to be sound, and went away to | follow it. As teachers go, she had neon suc cessful She held her schools against all rivals and had a hundred dollars in bank; and her pupils, without the aid of chart, diagram, or blackboard, were steadily acquiring a sound Eng lish education. For two years she had Ixiarded at six dollars per month, dressed plain, worked hard, and studied. She had gratified her heart’s desire and was a happy woman. Books banked up -teadi ly in her little room, books that she had yearned all her life to possess, and she read them over and over in the long, delicious hours after her day's work was done. Two years of Eden and. lo, the ser- j pent. She had paid small attention when he first entered her garden. Only by | degrees had it dawned upon her that he was, like young David, strong of body and with a ruddy countenance good to look upon. Later on she not ed that he neither drank nor swore; that he kept his nails in order and was always neat. He lived at the house where she boarded, and brought her mail from the far-away post of fice. He was always polite, was this Cajan-born Doniclan, yet his presence troubled the fair young teacher. Vague ly he interfered with her studies, and she resented the interference. But the sunset glow was fading while she dreamed of Aphrodite and her doves. What was Aphrodite to her? Or the doves? Dreadful, melan choly birds that made even the glad pine woods mournful with their plaint ive cooing. Helen laughed a little as she put away her much-loved books and went out into the bold fresh air tor that delightful half hour between the lights. She threw back her tired shoulders i and drank in deep breaths of visor. | Glorying in the reckless pride of i youth. Standing between tn* fading j sunset glow and the brightening j gleam of the rising moon. Appropriat- j ing the grandeur and understanding nothiug. Seeing in the light-tipped pines only glorified pride. Blind to the serenity that is born of suffering; deaf to the note of sadness that thrilled through their melodious chanting—to her only a burst of deep-throated tri umph. Oddly enough, in the midst of these haken vibrations of her soul came the iractical reflection: "I can live on ten dollars a month and save money; and I can make the X "The student leaned back and closed her book unwillingly.’’ ten dollars.” She dropped her eyes from the pine crests and saw Donlcian before her. "I fin' some mail for you at the of fice, Miss Helen." He spoke with a slight accent in a voice deep toned and musical. Helen started and her nerves quiv ered. "Oh, thank you so much,” she took the mail and their hands touched. The young fellow colored slowly, but she tried not to see. "Thank you so much,” she repeated, with tense civility. “Not ’tall,” he returned, lifting his hat and moving away. He was every inrh a man was M. Donlclan, tn spite of his predilection for blushing. Helen stared down at the little pack et of mail and saw Instead a small cottage furnished cosily with that hundred dollars in bank. It was un fortunate. that hundred dollars. In that it formed a solid foundation for a temptation that must have otherwise have remained chimerical. For an hour she struggled with it, sitting in the dark in her little ten by ten room. Then she laughed, nil echo of that slighting laugh with which she had put away her books, and struck a light. She had forgotten her mail! Presently a crisp bit of paper *‘I love you. Miss Helen. 'Tis right you should know.” cracked between her fingers. Her first check. Ambition leaped up wildly. Poor Donteian! Alas, for the doves of Aphrodite. Poor Donieian? He sat on a saw log in the moonlight wrapped in a dream as warm as heaven. His breath came unsteadily, deep-chested, and quivering. His fingers still felt the touch of hers. His ears still throbbed to that unconsciously caressing "thank you.” He had forgotten its civil repe tition. Poor Donieian! He knew noth ing of that strong-seated ambition that had ridden unceremoniously over the pleasant things of her life. Noth- J ing of that bit of crisp paper with a tew figures in one corner. Had he seen it, he would not have under stood: yet it was the death warrant, signed and sealed, for his happiness. Why should he suspect the existence of such things? To him the fair-faced young teacher was as a dainty wild flower, half open in the early dew. He sat on in his warm dream of heav en-born happiness, joying in the re fistless might of his strong-hearted love. Helen Nord was right. In these la ter days eagles are frequently sacri ficed upon the altars of Aphrodite. The next evening when she carried her ambition out in the forest that it might soar bold and unrestrained as the breath of the pines, Helen saw him coming toward her over the soundless needles. Strong and happy-hearted he swung along, bearing the beauty of a Creek god upon ills brow. A strange, reeling fear seized upon the woman's heart. She sat down weak, inert, upon a fallen trunk and stared miserably at the dead straws. Donician came on swiftly. He bared his head as he sat down beside her. "Any mail for me to-day?” she ques tioned, failing dismally in her effort to appear unconcerned. “No,” he said softly. Had he kissed her the caress could scarcely have been more endearing. Helen thing up her head desperate ly. Her choice had come to her in narrow lines, love or ambition. Aphro dite demanded a sacrifice. Should it be dove or eagle? Alas, for the dove. The ambition that hud ridden rough shod over all the pleasant things of life was not to be unseated by its poor, plaintive pleading. Donician spoke with manly sim plicity. "I love you, Miss Helen. ’Tis right you should know.” “Thank you,” she muttered in coherently. She was plunging wildly against the strain of stern asceticism in her blood. It seemed such a sense less sacrifice—two spotless doves for one wild eagle. Then the old glamor c ame again upon her eyes. She saw herself as she would be—a proud, free woman, working her way up into ihe high white light. She tried to make it easy for him. “We should not talk of such things, you and I, M. Donician,” she said, looking beyond him lest she should see that in his wonderful eyes that would haunt all her after days. It was a a unnecessary eaution. He was not the man to bare his wounds. "1 love you,” lie said, with quiet, in sistence. “I can make yen happy.” “Yes,” she returned, suddenly con scious of extreme weariness. “Yes, I know. But it must not he. I—1 have other work to do.” Donieian hesitated a moment as though unwilling to believe that his glad dream was shattered. “When two people love one another they belong to each other for all time.” Is it not so?” he asked tenderly, and his eyes compelled hers to meet them in one brief, truth-telling glance. “No, it is not so, not always,” she stammered, hurriedly. “It must not be!” she started to her feet, but his hand checked her flight. “Wait,” he said, “I will go." She watched him move away. Far ther and farther hts upright, swift moving figure glancing at rare and rareur intervals between the tree trunkJ. Suddenly she turned and fled, * goaded by Intolerable pnin. And the pines were left alone in their eternal serenity, chanting the requiem over the fair white dovea of Aphrodite. WONDERFULGROWTH OF OKLAHOMA lu 'Mini Territory the Kleh Noll I* At trHrtinic Tlioannudl of Settlor*. That portion of the west comprised in Oklahoma and Indian Territory is the center of interest for the ever present emigration movement that marks American civilization. The states to the north and south have been drained of their surplus popu lation for a ile ade to build up these virgin lands, but the process is not complete. The land offices of Okla homa, outside of tlie newly opened reservations, have done during the last summer, the largest business in years. Western Oklahoma lands that were considered fit only for the herder are being taken for small ranches, and the cattlemen are nervously watching tho destruction of their barbed-wire fences by the advent of the man with the plow. Indeed, this is the only por tion of western land outside the irri gated areas that can be secured for new' settlement. While vast tracts are yet open to homesteading in other parts of the west, they are the rcfus*\ the arid, rough or worthless claims undesired uy the settlers of the last three decades. i.ittle wonder, then, that the virgin lands of the Indian Territory, capable of producing a bale and a half of cot ton, seventy bushels of corn or forty five bushels of wheat per acre, should be in demand; or that Oklahoma farms, with almost equal fertility, and which are to be subdivided and rear ranged to suit the development of the country and the increasing population, should attract both settlers and invest ors. Peopled to a larger extent than al most any other part of the union by native American stock, says a writer in the Review' of Reviews, with the • advantages of example in the organi zation and development of other com munities, guided by the knowledge of to-day and following modern business methods, there should be a marvelous future for this region.
