"Whtit is It, my child?" ho asked, lay
ling his hand on her hair. "A lover's
quarrel?"
"Yes," she whispered. "Tho first wo
lmvo ever had."
"Well, well, wo nil know that lovers
Ticvcr part after n first quarrel," ho
said, in n quiut matter-of-fact tono that
calmed her nerves. "What was it all
about, littlo one, if an old an may
ask?"
"It nroso out of a very simple speech
of mino which seemed to nnnoy
Michael," answered Olive, her checks
flushing and paling as sho recalled tho
-afternoon's experience. "Wo wcro sit-
"ting under tho trees in Kow Gardens,
and I asked him if wo could possibly bo
happier than wo were then?"
".Michael took offenso becauso you
were too easily contented, and one word
followed another?" said Undo Wake.
"Yes." Olive considered for a mo
ment, and then repeated all that sho
could remember of tho conversation.
Afterwards n silence fell upon them
"both, and the roll of wheels In tho
Strand sounded but f nlntly in their cars.
It wns Oltvu who broke tho pause.
"If I could only believe that this was
merely n dilTcrenco of opinion, and not
n difference of spirit, I should bo eas
ier," she said, "llut Michael scorns to
think that my ideal llfo is an absurd
lirenm. IIo cannot rcnlizo any kind of
"happiness that is not founded on self
interest alone. IIo cannot comprehend
nny joy outsido himself. Oh, how hor

books ho had given her would have
dono tholr work bo soon. And how
could ho daro soothe hor with falso
comfort, or givo her tho broken reed of
a lie to lean upon? IIow could ho throw
dust in the eyes that saw Michael as ho
really was, and yet prayed to bo
blinded?
"Olive," ho said, tendorly, "I am
afraid it is tho f ato of nearly all good
women to bo somewhat disappointed in
tho men they lovo. A man's dally
struggle with tho world is almost suro
to harden him. Every true woman has
within her that capacity for self-sncrl-flco
which makes It easy for her to
comprehend tho ono groat sacrifice
Llko her Master, sho longs to go obout
among tho people, and do thorn good."
"But will ho never feel as I do?" sho
asked, mournfully.
'"Not altogether, perhaps. Olive, you
must learn to lovo him without giving
up tho best part of yoursolf for his
enko. You must not pluck out your
own white- wings becauso ho cannot
soar. If you do this, you will neither
content him nor yoursolf. You will al
ways bo haunted by tho Bcnso of loss,
and ho will know that you aro not satis
fied." Sho turned hor oyos upon him with a
gazo of lntcnso anxloty.
"How can two walk together unless
their spirits uro ono?" oho Bald, with a
sigh.
"Bodily union and spiritual disunion
ono sees It every day," Samuel Wako
answered. "If you marry a man whoso
thoughts aro not your thoughts, nor his
ways your ways, you must proparo to
tread a difficult path, my child. Your
own heart must help you In tho matter;
lovo, and tho Instincts of a truo wifo,
con mako a woman wlso and i.trong."
"And I lovo him, I do lovo him I" sho
ald. "Perhaps ho is ill and suffering
at this moment, and I am not near
Win!"
If sho had been near him alio would
fcavo behold Uiin making a fresh toUct

In high good humor. Edward
Unttors-
by had mot him, and had invited him
to dino nt a fashionable restaurant tliai
evening.
"Men aro mado of tougher materials
than you fancy," Undo Wako replied,
with n reassuring stallo. "IIo looked
well enough when I Bats him. Tnko
my word for it, that headache was on
excuso for ill-temper. Don't bo fussy
about him, my dear. IIo will find his
way back to you when tho fit is over."
Then ho brought ono of tho boolcs
that wcro piled upon the table, and be
gan to read a poem aloud. Tho verses
wero well chosen, and his voico was
pleasant to hor cars. So tho afternoon
glided Into evening, and when Mrs.
Wako camo home, more pcnslvo and
shadowy than ever after her visit to
Jessie, Ollvo was able to moot her with
cheerfulness. It wns hard to see Mich
ncl's vacant placo at tho supper table;
but Undo Wako encouraged hor with
smiles, and talked quite openly of tho
absent lover.
"If ho docs not como in on Monday or
Tuesday, I shall go and look him up."
ho said. "Ah, Mrs. Wake, how unrea
sonable you used to bo If I ever dared
to havo a headache! It is only women
who nro allowed to bo invalids. A lover
ought to havo an iron constitution."
"You always had," his wife remarked,
"but Michael is not mado of iron, nnd
ho looks as If ho had nerves. Perhaps
ho is a little irritablo sometimes. I
know ho lias a short manner, but what
is manner when a man is hardworking
nnd steady? When I looked at our poor
Jesslo to-dny, I could not help thinking
of Olive's good fortune."
For years, everybody had boon talk
ing to Ollvo about her good fortune
Who was she, thnt such a clever young
man should havo set his heart upon
her? The girl had always been hum
bio and grateful, and she wns humblo
and grateful still; only a subtle chnngo
was btcallng over tho humility and
gratitude. Sho did not think less of
Michael, nor was sho less lowly in
mind, but sho had begun to uso cer
tain faculties which had been undevel
oped in her vlllngo home.
Sho had learned lately that thcro nro
certain aspirations which cannot bo
stifled, even nt lovo's command, with
out self-degradation. Truly ho who
flndoth his llfo in this world only, shall
losa it; tho worship of things that per
ish in tho using destroys all spiritual
llfo in tho worshlpor. Ollvo had found
out this truth.
When sho lay down to rest that night
sho fell into a peaceful sloop, und
dreamed of tho old downs and fields of
her childhood. Michael was roaming
with her through those calm meadows,
rich with the purplo and gold of sum
mer. IIo was onco more tho younger
and simpler Michael of tho past; they
wero happy in the old-fashioned way of
rustic lovers. Then Jnno and Aaron

Ollvo lived cheerfully on that brief
noto all through tho week. Michaol
had forgiven her, and tho world was
bright again.
IIo camo to seo hor on Sunday after
noon, but tho visit was short. Edward
Battorsby had claimed him for tho
evening. All Ills dreams wero about to
bo realized, success was within his
grasp, and Ollvo listened to his explana
tions with wonder and delight. Thcro
was no doubt as to tho working of his
new plan; It had already been tested
with tho most satisfactory results, and
-was to davo a longer and fuller trinl.
Mcamvhllo Edward Batters by was
'overwhelming him with tokens of
good will. Everyone in tho works was
awara of his exaltation; ho was to ro
ccivo mora substantial rowurds later
on, but even uow ho was recognized as
a person of tho highest importance.
"What docs Aaron say to all tills?"
asked Olive, when Michael paused to
talco breath. "I wish ho would come
and see mo."
Michael frowned Impatiently.
"Why do you think of Aaron?" ho
Bald; "ho was always a gloomy fool
who could not holp himself, and lately
ho has been Insufferable." ,
"IIo is unhappy, Miohael." Iler faco
was troubled. "You seo, ho has long
been wanting to make a homo fqr
Jano, and when thoy lowered his wages
ho lost heart. But now that your suc
cess is assured, dear, you will bo kind
to him?"
"Kind to html" Michael repeated
angrily. "I shall bo heartily glad to
seo tho last of him, and hear tho last of
his maundering talk about old times,"
"But ho was our early frlond," sho
said sadly, "and thero is poor Juno to
bo considered."
"I don't know why I should consider
Jano," returned Michael loftily. "Sho
certainly has no claim on mo. But this

"Dear Mlohaoll" hor hand softly

"You aro n most extraordinary girl,

Her faco brightened In an instant
"Dear Undo Wake," she said, "ho is

'Well, ho has had littlo enough of his

"Don't ask mo to givo it up just yet,"
sho said, lnja sweet voice of ontreaty.
"Please don't I will promlso to bo

"I suppose I must bo contented with

A richer bloom roso to tho soft cheek,
but tho lips quivered as if with pain.
"I should hate notoriety, " sho said,
proudly.
"Nonscnso! you won't hato anytlUng

her. "It will bo n lifo of' charming
dresses and jewels; what can a woman
desire more?"
"Oh, I Bhall want much more than
that," sho answered, looking frankly
up nt him with clear eyes.
But ho only laughed, and went his
way.
More days went nnd came, and ho
did not come, but frequent notes mado
amends for his absence. Ollvo went
about her daily business with tho light-
est of hctfrta and the brightest of faces.
Undo Wake rejoiced with her in her
joy, and Aunt Wako talked of nothing
but weddings and bridal array. Some
times when Ollvo looked bade to the
Sunday afternoon In Kow Garden's,' It'
seemed very dim and far distant. 'Sho

this "strangenoss" and met hlra with
an anxloty that shaded her;jpy.

stiffly and spoko more quietly.
"I bcllovo I should havo broken down
entirely," ho said, "If It had not beon
for tho sen breezes. Tho Battcrsbys aro
at South sea, and I havo been running
down to seo them." i
"Then you nro qui to intimate with

people? Is Mrs. Battorsby a good,
motherly woman? Aro ; thero any
daughters? Oh, I am 6o glad they nro
going to bo kind to us!" cried poor
Ollvo In her simplicity.
An uneasy look flitted across Michael'
face, "
into raptures on Bmau occasions," ho
remarked, coldly. "How is ono to nn
Bwer such n string of questions? First
of all, thero la no Mrs. llnttersby. And,
as Mr. Bath rshy is a fecblo old man
whose mind is fnlliug, I cannot got very

"Oh," said Ollvo in n disappointed
tone; "and thero is no daughter?"
"Well, yes, there is a daughter." Ho
admitted tho fact with a curious reluc
tance, "llut she Is a good dcnl older
than you are; andand you would not
find her a sympathetic person, 1 think."
"Then she Is not nice, is slus?" Ollvo
asked.
"I really don't know what you mean
by 'nice;' it is a woman's word."
Mlchui'l tried to smile naturally, and
only produced a strango contortion of
tho lips.
"But if people aro not sympathetic
thoy cant lo nice," persisted Ollvo un
wisely. "You think hor horrid, and
don't like to say so."
IIo Hushed angrily.
"I havo never thought anything so
preposterous," ho snid. "I only meant
that Miss llnttersby wns calm and sen
sible, and not given to romantic dream

pained Ollvo deeply. She strove to talk
on as if nothing had hurt her, but she
was not able to protend a cheerfulness
that she did not feel. Michael had not
said a word about their future plans;
ho did not toll her that sho must soon
como to a new homo. Ho talked in a
vaguo way of changes at tho works, and

suddenly got up to go, and gave her a

"When shall I seo you again, Mich

"I don't know. I wish I could fix n
day for coming," ho answered; "but
Edwnrd Is always wanting me, and I
nm so worried and hurried thnt there is
scnrcely tlmo to think. However, I
will writo If I do not come."
When ho had gone, Ollvo went away
to her littlo room and Rat down by the
bod in utter bowildermcnt. Tho per
son that sho loved, her promised hus
band, of whom hhe liad thought
hour after hour, what had be

tho old Michael who had just loft her,

BOB FORD KILLED

Cukkdk, Col., Juno 0. Bob Ford Is
dead slnln without warning as ho
slew Jeso .tamos. Deputy Sheriff
Watt Kelly shot hint yesterday in his
own dance hall.
Ford, notorious over all tho land as
the kllh-r of tho most notorious bandit
of tho century, had been in this placo
almost ever since Creede camp liegan.
He camo with that influx of killers nnd
bad men that always comes to tho west
ern town that begins to Ikmiii and to
Ihi talked iilhiut. Ho recently opened a
ilntK'o hall of tho regulation type, and
un the strength of having shot Josso
James through the back of tho head,
posed much as one of tho worst iif bail
men.
Last February In Pueblo Ford quar
reled with Deputy Kelly, who Is a kill
er and a bad man himself. It was over
a woman, this quarrel. Tho two had
hated each other ever since. Yesterday
afternoon Kelly was to bo seen loung
ing In the doorway of Ford's dance hull.
A man, whom no ono has seen since,
approached and slipped a short double
barreled shot-gun into his hands.
Thus armed Kelly stepped Into tho
dunce hall, "Hob'," lie said, holding his
weapon ready for action.
Ford was standing with his back to
Kelly scarcely live feet away. Ho
turned and as ho saw who had called
him his hand went for his six-shooter.
But he had no chance on earth. Kelly
had simply to raise his shotgun und let
it go. Ford's hand never reached his
revolver.
The shotgun, heavily loaded with
buckshot, did frightful work at so
short a range. The whole charge
struck full In Ford's neck, tearing away
wind pipe und jugular. The innn died
Instantly.
Kelly walked quietly through the
crowd thnt gathered and gave himself
into tho custody of the slieritf. Last
night he would not talk about his dead
ly work.

FIVE MILLION POUNDS.
FaUurn of tlm Oriental Hunk of I.nnilon
for That Amount.
London, Juno V. It was rumored
that a largo eastern bank was hi dif
ficulty and that heavy claims against
tho bank were lending. A rumor was
nlso current on tho .street that tho
Oriental bank was being nssisted by
other banks. Tho distressed bank, tho
new Oriental, was refused assistance
from tho Bank of England and decided
to suspend. It has a capital of $10,000,
000 and assets and liabilities amount
ing to $45,000,000.
Tho directors recommend tho deposit
ors to withdraw only 20 per cent of
their deposits In order to allow the suc
cessful reconstruction of the bank.
The suspension is largely due to the
depreciation in the value of sliver, to
tho consequent increasing distrust in
Orcnt Britain of investments in the
east, coupled with tho unprecedented
condition of trudo in China, Japan and
Australia, and losses Incurred through
the hurricano nt Mauritus.
Tho report concludes with the state
ment that steps will bo takon to protect
tho assets of the bank.
Tho immediato liabilities are believed
to amount to IS.fiUO.QOO.

hundreds of foreign laborers whoso
names nro unknown und who never will
lie found. In the same section there
wero numerouti children and of tho
great number only ten havo been found.

Those who nro acquainted with this
section nt tho city say that scores havo
perished who will never bo henrd of.

loss nt 100 and others Insist If a com
plete record couhl bo had the awful list
would reach 200. i I

ty-twti bodies of thb victims of the lira

der or mora Impressive scenes witnessed.

children left orphans. Tho children
were the ones which must have quickly
sucenmbed to tho flood and lire," and not
a cane of a destltuto orphan child has
yet been reported. As a rulo death
camo to tho entire family, if not, tho
fathers, mothers and older children
wero the survivors.
