Belf when T saw you, my Lady.”
“And, of course, knowing there
could be no—that it was too senseless
—” The words she was searching for
failed her; she looked toward the path
over the neck of rock, but he con
tinued to stand between it and her.
“I have heard the story in all its de
tails; all that passed at the Mount,
while Nanette was there. And,” in
stead of having undermined his belief,
she felt she had only strengthened it,
“I am sure you went to the Monastery
St Ranulphe, knowing—"
“You are sure!” she interrupted
quickly. wasn't long ago.you were
His Dark, Eager Face Was Near
Hers Now.
sure it was I who betrayed you, and—”
"I was wrong, then; but,” his eyes
continued to meet hers, “I am not
wrong now.”
Behind her, my lady’s hand closed
hard on the rock.
“Deny it!” his voice went on. “In
so many words!”
“Why should I?” She caught her
breath quickly. “I denied something
to you once, and you did not believe.”
“I’ll believe you now!”
“I should feel very much flattered, I
am sure; but after—” A spark of de
fiance began to gleam in her eyes.
“You are sure .one moment, and not,
the next! You are ready to believe,
or not to believe!" More certain now,
she lifted her head; she, whose assur
ance and wit had never failed her at
court, would not be put to confusion
by him!
His answer was unexpected; to her;
to himself. Perhaps it was the peas
ant—the untamed half-peasant—in his
blood that caused it; that made a sud
den, unceremonious act, his reply! He
eaught both her hands; drew her to
him. He knew she could never care
for him—she, the.beautiful lady! But
he forgot himself for the moment;
thought only of what she had done;
her courage, her fineness, her delicate
loveliness! Iler life for his. To pay
a fancied debt, perhaps? And all the
while he had thought— Self-reproach
ea fell from hi3 lips; were followed by
bolder, moro daring words. All he
would have said the night on the
beach, when he had borne her from
the fiery rock to the ship, now burst
from him; all he had felt when he
had held her in his arms—motionless,
unresisting, the still, white face up
turned, offering itself freely to his
gaze!
At the neck of the rock, beneath his
feet, the waves thundered; near them,
wild birds circled, wheeled and were
borne on by the strong breath of the
wind. Had he spoken; what had he
said? A gradual consciousness of the
beating of (he sea smote his senses,
as with rhythmical regularity it arose.
He listened; slowly In his eyes that
light that demanded—claimed, as it
were, its own—was replaced by an
other; his hands released hers. My
lady made no sound; her proud lips
trembled. Very pale, she leaned back.
So silence lengthened. “Pardon, my
Lady!” he said at last, very hunbly.
“It had not occurred to me my secret
was not safe; that I, master of ships
and men, should not be master of my
self! But 1 had not expected to be
alone with your Ladyship, and,” a
shadow of a smile crossed the strong,
reckless face, "your Ladyship can
weigh the provocation! If the excuse
will not serve, I have none other to
offer. Certainly, will I retract noth
ing. What's said, is said, and—no lies
will unsay it!”
He looked at the water; the tide
was nearly in; he turned. She would
never see him again, for which she
would be very glad, since the sight of
him must always have been hateful to
her. Had not fate decreed—bitterly—
she should look upon him only as an
enemy? It might be, in time, she
would condone his presumption, when
his presence would no longer vex her!
He was going one way; she, another,
soon, with—
iou—you are mistaken, Monsieur:
My lady’s tone was tremulous.
“Mistaken?" '
“The—Marquis de Beauvillers left
last night on a fishing bark."
“Left!" abruptly he wheeled.
“Why!" She did not answer. “You
mean?” Before the sudden swift ques
tion that shone from his eyes, hers
fell.
“Speak!" Me seized her hand; his
dark, eager face was near hers now.
"You have sent him away? He will
never return?" She lifted her bead;
answered uot In words; hut a new
light-in her eyes-met the flash of his.
-My Lady!" he cried, bewildered for
the moment at whai that glance re
vealed. An instant she seemed once
more striving to combat him, when,
drawing her gently toward him, he
bent lower; kissed softly her lips.
“Is it, then, true—”
“You find it so hard to believe?”
“That you love me? That I seem no
longer your enemy?"
“My enemy? You? Who risked so
much—saved my life! Ah, no, no! Do
you not remember,” softly, “he, too
said—‘Forget!’" 1
“I only remember I have long loved
you! For me have you ever been the
princess—who dwelt in the clouds—in
a palace, enchanted—’’ Her face
changed. “That saddens you! For
give me!"
"It seems like a dream—that life,
then! All made up of lightness and
gaiety; courtiers and line masques,
until—” Beneath the bright gold of
her hair, my lady’s brow knit
“Until?”
“Nay; I know not until—just when!
Only, for long, I seem to have lived in
a world, unreal and false. Last night,
when in the garden, I felt stifled. This
marriage! Arranged—for what?” She
made a quick gesture. “The words
came—had to come—though they hurt
my lord’s pride; touched his vanity!
Nothing, deeper! It was gone. Be
sides—”
My lady stopped. “Go on!" he urged,
his voice eager.
“That is all. At least, all I would
acknowledge to myself, then."
"And now?” His arm tightened; he
held my lady close. “Now?”
Her lips lifted; though silent, made
answer in the abandonment of the mo
ment, the past and all its vicissitudes
vanished; only the present held them
—the present and the future, beautiful
as the horizon, now rosy and glowing
beneath the warm touch of the dawn.
The tide came in and the tide went
out.
“Mon capitaine must have changed
his mind,” said old Pierre at the inn.
And he gazed toward a ship, stranded
on the sands of the harbor.
(THE END.)
CASE OF STINGY HUSBAND
How On* Head of a Family Superin
tended Expenditures for House
hold Needs.
In a lively article in the current
number of Farm and Fireside, on the
relations between husbands and wives
on the subject of home finances, there
are several interesting reports of ac
tual cases. Following is a report of a
stingy husband:
‘“A girl I knew in my youth was
married after a short acquaintance to
a scholarly professional man. He had
been brought up under hard condi
tions in a strenuous school of poverty.
She was the daughter of wealth and
bad never been denied a reasonable
wish. Her ausband was what is called
a good provider. He bought amply
for the table, and was not averse to
having plenty of fuel and sufficient
house-furnishings to keep his home
comfortable and dignified. He simply
declined to let Betty buy so much as
five cents’ worth of anything. He did
not wish her to have accounts at
shops, nor did she desire them. When
she wanted to buy anything for her
self or the children, he accompanied
her, superintended her purchases, ex
amined every pair of stockings and
every yard of muslin, and frowned
upon niching and trimmings as need
less, drawing out his well-filled pocket
book and paying the bill with a flour
ish when the shopping had been done
to his satisfaction. She never had
any money in her possession except
when her mother sent it to her as a
gift, and when this was done, she took
excellent cart! to keep Reuben in ig
norance. Once the good man, for in
some ways he was good, was com
pelled to leave home for a few days.
He carefully counted the amount that
his wife would spend for the house
during his absence. Then he lo3t his
train and had to wait over another
day. Coming home, he asked her for
the cash and put it back in his own
pocket for the next 24 hours.’ ”

was all sold in two days.
Bill Fletcher, the horse buyer,
was here for a few hours Saturday
last renewing old acquaintances
and incidentally looking for bar
gains in the horse line.
S. S. Polski, G. H. Lorenz, Isaac |
Sandberg and Joseph Jankowski
were a few of those whose names

Dieterichs funeral last Saturday.
M iss Mary Beza left for Schuy
ler, Neb., last Thursday morning,
where, as stated in last week’s
items, she goes to accept a posi
tion in a large department store.
This section of the country was
fortunate the past week in having
a slow rain of 48-hours’ duration,
giving us nearly two inches, with
not a drop wasted, which puts the
ground in first class condition for
corn.
Dr. Higgins of Grand Island
was here over Sunday treating dis
eases of the eye, ear and throat.
The doctor has very good success
along his line and he making reg
ular visits to our city makes it
very convenient for our people.
Anyone wishing to consult him
should inquire at Dr. Wanek’s of
fice as to the date of his next visit
here.
There was a great ball game,
yes great, at Paplin last Sunday
afternon. Ashton's Best (married
men) played Paplin's Best (mar
rid men). The score was great,
yes, great—25 to 20 in favor of
Ashton’s Best. Batteries: For
Ashton, Alex. Gappa, Ed. Jamrog
and F. Janulewicz; for Paplin,
Bennie Gappa, Aug. Zochol and
Tony Jarinka, Oh, yes; the band
played “Forget-me-not.’’
Albert Anderstrom was an east
bound passenger Monday morn
ing. We failed to learn just where
Albert was headed for, but as all
his actions nowadays are more or
less suspicious, we suppose that
everything will be all right, and
that he will return safe and sound
within a few days. We might
venture to say, that possibly in
the near future Albert will allow
us to use a little more space in
these items. Guess.
A. S. Baldwin, insurance adjust
er for the Germania Fire Insur

ing the loss sustained by W. J.
Guzinski, in the burning of his
house and nearly all of his house
hold goods during the high winds
of Tuesday of last week. Mr. Gu
zinski is more than pleased with
the settlement given him and the
promptness shown by the compa
ny in having an adjuster on the
place as stated above.
The first game of the season for
the Ashton base ball team was
played last Sunday on the Elba
grounds. The game was fast and
furious at the start and finish, El
ba doing their fast work in the
first inning and Ashton in the 9th.
It looked like Elba's game all the
way through, but the Ashton boys
came to in the ninth and by good
stick work brought in six stores,
thereby cinching the game. The
final score was 9 to 7 in Ashton’s
favor. For details look up the box
score. Next Sunday come out and
see the real article on the home
grounds. Farwell will be here
and a fast game is promised.

to Ravenna last Monday. The la
dies were looking after new spring
hats.
T. R. and Mrs. Lay visited over
Sunday at the Dickinson home.

this place and son Reimerof Wyn

a trip to Brennan, Germany, the
latter part of May.
Editor Burleigh of the North

last Tuesday and the way he tried
to make us believe that he had to
cut the lawn and spade the garden

following parties going up person
ally to Loup City the last few
days: A. E. Edwards, Jas. Coul
ter, David Siefert, C. F. Krehmke
and Geo. Brammer.
The Dannebrog team of the

Oh, nothing much—19 to 3 in fa
vor of the local team.
Rudolph Schmaljohn went to
Loup City last Monday and bro’t
a new Ford car home with him.
If you are unfortunate enough to
meet him on the road, cut the
fence wire and take to the plowed
ground.
Some one took four 24‘ft. planks
that were laying along the road on
the north side of the Rockville
bridge across the river about three
weeks ago and the township took
out a search warrant to locate
them, so don’t get huffy if the
sheriff comes on the place looking
in your hog shed or barn.
We are glad to learn that Prof.
J. H. Burwell, our present princi
pal, was elected superintendent of
the Loup City schools, but are
sorry to lose so good a teacher.
That’s the trouble with our teach
ing force, second to none in the
state, but other schools pay high
er salaries and our loss is their
gain.
E. F. Kozel, our genial hard
ware merchant, has sold one-half
interest in his store to S. E. Sor
ensen, and the firm will hereafter
be Kojsel & Sorensen. Mr. Soren
sen is no stranger in our commu

South American Diplomat.
Auguste B. Leguia, who recently
completed a successful term as Presi
denot of Peru, was one of the coun
try’s shrewdest business men before
he entered politics. It was not until
1903 that he became actively engaged
in affairs of the state, and then only
because the last President Candamo,
knowing his genius for finance, urged
him to become the minister of that im
portant department of the cabinet. He
was born in 1863, and received his
education in Valparaiso. When the
war with Chile broke out he resigned
from a mercantile position to join the
army, where he distinguished himself
