perience a few days before reaching
port When 1W miles off Cape Flat

menao flock of birds, resembling the
jWtld canary, thousands of which set
tled in the rigging and other parts of
the vessel. The sailors furnished the
feathered visitors with food and drink1,
and hundreds, if not thousands, of tbe
birds remained on board till tbe

very tame, and left the vessel when
it approached land.

CHAPTER I.
The dear boy! It is almost too
good to be true! By this time they
must be married, and Temple-Dene Is
saved!" Lady Jane Temple ton sat
tapping her feet restlessly on tbe floor,
her dark-blue eyes flashing and spar
kling at again and again she read over
a clotty written letter spread out
upon her lap.
Good news the best of all news
had come that day to the old home of
tie Templetons. The long, wearr
years of grinding poverty were at an
end. More, the utter ruin that threat
ened Temple-Dene was averted one
and for all. Little wonder, then, that
Lady Jane's eyes danced, and her
mouth twitched with unaccustomed
smiles.
"I must t-ll somebody!" she went
on agitafdly. And she stretched out j
her hand to the bell handle.
"Send Miss Leila to me, Somers," j
she looked round to say to the footman
who answered the summons. j
While Lady Janj waited a slightly
anxious pucker came into her brow. I
There's bound to be a shadow behind
each human joy. however bright, and
It would be a difficult task for her to
tell the good news to the ' somebody"
whom she had summoned.
It was a cheerless, cold December
day the first of the month. From the
distant belt of the Temple-Dene woods
a faint mist was rising.
Could the blue skle and the warm
sun ever have laughed down on a
world so dun and sodden? Would
they ever again break through the
gray pall of sadness?
A slim figure of a girl, with hurt,
bewildered eyes and a drooping mouth
was moving listlessly along the corri
dor In obedience to the footman's
message, and In I-ella Desmond's eyes
the gray day seamed to fit In with
her own "sorrow-shot" heart. She
almost hoped it would be always like
this now dull and dun, lifeless and
loveless.
"You sent for me, aunty?"
She parted the heavy, faded blue
plush portiere between the south and
the east drawing rooms, and looked
straight at Lady Jane.
"Oh. Leila. ye!" Her ladyship
started and she spoke nervously.
"Quick! How slowly you move, child!
Come and sit here by me." She patted
the blue-satin couch on which she
sank.
Everything about and around the
mistress of Temple-Dene was blue
pale blue for Lady Jane had ben a
blonde beauty of the fairest order in
ber palmy youth. I
Time had faded the hangings and
satin coverings, the frilled cushions
and the hue of her own once rich
robe, for Lady Jane Templeton was a
miserably poor woman. Evil days
had come upon her and her belongings,
but they had not quenched the proud
woman's spirit as they had that of
her husband, Francis Templeton, the
dreary, broken man, who sat all bis
days In the library, a victim to a form
ot melancholy.
The masterful spirit of the woman
had never rested, seeking a way out of
the dark cloud that shrouded Temple
Dene. All her hopes of deliverance
from sheer ruin were placed in Ger
vls, the heir and only child she and
Francis Templeton ever had.
By day and night she had spent her
energies In rousing Gervls to the res
cue of his family.
So the words that had trembled on
the lips of Gervls Templeton day after
day were unhpoken after all. From
boyhood his heart had been filled with
one Image that of the girl. Leila Des
mond, bis mother's eldest niece. They
were orphans Leila and Sybil
daughters of Lady Jane's passionately
loved younger brother. When he died
his sister gathered the desolate chil
dren, motherless as well as fatherless.
Into her home, bringing them up and
educating them.
But the Instant the mother recog
nized that the girl, Leila, had grown to
fce tho one woman In the world for her
son tbe springs of love for her broth
er's orphan froze up. She almost hated
Leila, even ufter she had gained her
point and separated the two lovers.
But it was Lady Jane's hour of tri
umph, and she could today at least
afford to be gracious.
"Come, my dear LeIJa," she repeat
ed, "I have news groat news from
my boy."
A shock of fear ran through the
girl, who had crept slowly up to the
faded blue couch.
Lady Jane, busily engaged adjusting
her eye glasses and spreading out the
foreign letter on her lap, did not ob
berve blanching cheeks and trembling
lip.
"I have heard from Gervls. A won
derful thing has happened. Leila. You
will be astonished. My boy Is engaged.
He has met a sweet girl In San Frau
clsco a great heiress; and and
well, I suppo. they are actually mar
ried, for the wedding was fixed for
the last day In November. This Is
the first of the month, so, If all In well,
they are mnrrled. Can you believe it,
Leila? ' And, child, Temple-Dene U
saved. Her money will redeem the
dear old home. Ob, how good God
la!"
Lady Jane's voice ended In a chok
ing sound. She was honestly, from
ber very heart, sending up a thanks
giving tor what she thought a crown
in mercy.
' ' ' ' ' ' y v -t
f fv ,. ts .

' ' ' I ' i'' !' ' ' ' ' '
. A, . . . fff
The words rang through the brain
ot tbe listener.
God was possibly good to some folk
to Aunty Jane, for instance, and to
the happy girl-heiress whos gold had
bought up Leila's own heritage; but
God seemed terribly crnel to her. He
had stripped and robbed ber of all
that made life sweet and fair. So
Leila sat dumb, twisting her slim,
small fingers together on her lap; and
Lady Jane's jubilant voice went on in
her ears.
"Such a letter, my dear, brimful of
all particulars and details. Every
thing I wanted to know is set down
clearly. Dear boy, what a head he
ha for business! The settlements are
most generous quite extraordinary. If
she dies without heirs, everything ab
solutely goes to Gervls, if he dies flrt,
Temple-Dene Lb hers, supposing there
is no heir. So In any case Temple
Dene is saved, and my life-prayer
granted."
"It teems to be a good bargain for
both."
Leila spoke at last, and her voice
soundd harsh and bitter, though the
elder lady did not notice it.
"A splendid bargain," she was re
peating. In all Innocence. "And. you
see, Gervls was able to arrange the
settlements himself without delaying,
for I suppose you know, Leila, tbat
Temple-Dene is already the dear boy's
own by mortgage. All his uncle's
money left to Gervls was swallowed
up In it when he came of age; but
thai was, after all, a drop In the ocean
of debts and difficulties.
"However, all that misery is now at
an end. This dear girl's wealth will
set the old place on Its feet. My poor
husband's life Is a frail thread now.
nigh spun out; but Gervis will see to
It that my future Is an assured one.
And, of course, that in Its turn touches
yourself and little Syb. My home
shall be yours always. So, Leila, the
good news travels in a widening cir
cle, and Trachea one and all of us."
Lady Jane laid her hand on the
girl's shoulder, but Leila shrank away
quickly.
"I shall be able now to take you
out, my dear. You shall see the world
and marry well. I shall manage that,
never doubt It. Oh, how life has
changed all In an hour! I can scarce
ly realize It that all the money wor
ries are to be smoothed out. But my
poor Francis! If he could only havo
held out as I have done. Indeed, he
will not even comprehend tbe glad
news when 1 carry it to him. Ltla
they say there's a black shadow to
ever' Joy. What If what If my poor
husband's mind goes altogether? It
would be better far If God took him!"
Lady Jane stood up, shuddering
with horror.
I "I must go to him Francis must be
told." With a rustle of her faded silk
skirts she left tbe room; but Leila sat
on, clasping and unclasping ber fin
gers ceaselessly.
Gervls married! For this girl the
end of the world has come, then. To
another belonged the right of loving
her lover. Yes, he had been hers. Of
that, at least, she could never be rob
bed. Leila, hurt and "sorrow-shot"
to the soul, felt bitter and sore.
For the last couple of years eve
since the girl awoke to the knowledge
that Gervls loved her life had been
a dream of happiness, Into which no
ray of doubt had crept Then came
tho crash of all fair hopes In the
knowledge that the love-dream must
end. And now Gervls was married.
With a moan Leila would have risen
from the couch, but a pair of soft
arms held her down.
"Darling sis," a breathless, quick
voice said, "I know! I have heard
the news. Aunty has Just told me. I
could kill blm. I could! I hope all
the sorrows and griefs In the world
will come upon him and her, too. I
hope they will be unhappy ever after."
The hot words came raining fiercely,
and a young face, working convul
sively, was pressed against Leila's Ice
cold cheek.
It was Sybil, the younger sister,
warped alike In mind and body, for
the girl was deformed. A careless
nurse bad dropped the tender Infant
on the flagstones In the hall, Injuring
her spine irremediably. Never would
Sybil Desmond walk this earth
straight and tall; and she had grown
up with a wild, distorted frame ot
mind at enmity with all mankind
all save the Idolized sister, who was
all the world to poor, mlssnapen Syb.
CHAPTER II.
"And you're going to take me to
England for Christmas, to your own
home. Gervls?"
"To our home, my wife. You must
learn to say 'ours,' not 'yours,' Glad
dy." A newly made husband and wife
snt-hand-ln-hand in the handsome
palace car of a train speeding over
the Canadian Pacific railway. Out
side was the whlto world of npw-fall-en
snow, while In the car, with Its
mirrors, its Inlaid furniture, its flow
era and fruit, Its silken hangings, and
its scented warmth, the atmosphere
was like midsummer.
They had been married but a few
weeks, these heedless, happy lovers,
and the honeymoon had not as yet
waned. For tho young pair tho course
of true love had flowed with a smooth
ness altogether unprecedented.
There had been tbe first meeting,
when the good looking, tall young
Englishman, upon whom all eyes were
turned with admiration, first encoun
tered the slim, round-eyed heiress of
Hiram Falrweather, the Chicago man,
whose corner in Iron had made him
world-famous.
Gladdy's mourning for the dead
father had only Just blended into ten
der grays and virginal whites, and
the girl, liberally adorned otherwise
with shy blushes, cunning dimples and
happy smiles, was entering the wide
ly welcoming arms of society.
Gerrls Templeton was the first Eng
lishman of good birth Gladdy had as
yet known. Hiram Falrweather'a
"boom of luck" had not come In time
for him to lake his place In the top
most circles of American society.
It had arrived all too late for the
patient meek helpmate who was ly
ing la a shady comer of a country
churchyard, with tired, hard-working
bands folded reatfully.
It bad come too late, to polish their
only child Into a fashionable lady by
means of a European education; bat
Gladys was young scarcely nineteen
and rarely dainty of face and form.
so society willingly accepted the roe,
uncultured aa it was. and petted her
unstintingly. But society could not
keep its new Idol for long.
After the first shy look, the first
few summering words. Gladdy had no
longer a heart to boast of. though she
herself was innocently Ignorant of the
fact For this girl there would never
be any other man than the chivalrous
English stranger whom fate bad in
troduced Into her life. No other love
could ever take the place of that which
filled her veins with its blissful ec
stasy. Her simple heart secret was an
open page Gladdy knew no guile
wherewith to hide it
The astute dame of fashion who, for
a certain handsome sum allowed by
the trustees of the wealthy heiress,
took Gladdy under her wing, contented
herself with smiling blandly at the
pretty love scene going on under her
eyes.
"Happy's the wooing that's not long
a-dolng." Gervis Templeton did not
let the grass grow under his feet un
til he had secured the matrimonial
prize of the hour.
And, to do this young Englishman
Justice, he fully meant to "have and
to hold ... to love and to cher
ish," this fair, sweet woman whom he
had won. until death should part
them.
"He's got what he came over here
for," moodily said one of many dis
appointed swains.
"That's so," observed another. "It's
always like that. Those dandy Eng
lish chaps' have only to throw the
handkerchief, and the richest of our
heiresses, as well as the smartest of
our summer girls, are at their feet
Bah! It's sickening!"
"Oh, come." broke In a kindlier
spirit, "surely It's not so barefaced as
ail mat? Though, now I think of it
he does not seem over-head-and-ears
In love with that little Falrweather
girl. There's a look In his eyes as If
he had missed the chief aim in life,
and consequently didn't much care
how things went"
Perhaps the last speaker was not
wide of the mark. Gervis Templeton
certainly had a past of his own lock
ed carefully away honorably away
now.
For the young man meant the vows
he took upon himself when he and
trembling, shy Gladdy stood together
at the altar. He would love and servo
as well as he could the sweet young
helpmeet God was trusting to his
care. Never should she know, if be
could help It, that she had come sec
ond, not first. Into his heart to remain
there.
So another youthful pair set out for
weal or for woe who might say as
yet?

King- Khaain.
Khama is kinK or cue Bamangwato
tribe. His 40,000 subjects are called
Bechanas. because they live in Bechu

themselves, and do not acknowledge
It as a tribal term. Khama Is an old
man now lean, hungry and as ugly
as can be; but be Is a very good old
man, and in his way has probably
done more real good to the cause of
the natives In bis part of the country
than any other two dozen native
chiefs. He will not allow any Intoxi

Iluraorou Cento Returns.
Many humorous features were de
veloped In the taking of the census ot
1900. One question was Indicated by
the remark "length ot residence,"
which was expected to show how long
tbe people living in various localities
at the time ot the census had been
there. When the reports came In It
was found that many of these queries
were answered in figures In this way:
20x40, 15 30, etc. Tbe enumerators
had gone around with a foot rule and
had measured the length of the real

town of Shelby. Burglars entered the

Hill's restaurant Thence they went
to the postotttce, blew up the safe and
set fire to the building, which was to
tally destroyed, along with the opera
house block, D. It Laird's drug
store and HriphamS dry goods store.
Kennedy's implement building was
crushed by falling walls. The thieves
escaped and the country is being
scoured by men on horseback and with
teams.
Cnable to Quench fire.
The crime was committed between
2 and 3 o'clock a. m.. October 31. The
first anyone knew of it was when the
fire was discovered in the opera houc
block. It had already gained great
headway and the primitive fire fight
ing apparatus of the town was insuf
ficient to save the building and its con
tents. The block was cccupled by three
stores and the postoflice. One store
was the large mercantile establish
ment of Brigham Bros., another was
Laird's drug store and the other the
hardware establishment of Knerr. In
the rear part of tbe hardware store
was located the postoflie. Across the
alley is the frame butcher shop of
Eoetz and some distance away is the
grocery store of J. G. Osborne. The
tills in Eoetr's place and Osborne's
grocery were both Lapped, and the
safe in the postotHcc was blown open.
It is presumed that the other stores
were robbed, but as the contents were
all destroyed by the fire this can not
be definitely known. The authorities
have no doubt that they were robbed.
The fire was first seen in the hard
ware store, near where the postoffice
was. J. W. Bellinger is postmaster.
He says tbat his safe was blown open
and robbed of a few dollars in money,
and be thinks about 3100 in stamps.
Of the amount lie is not positive, as he
has taken no invoice. Some stamps
were found in the rear of the building
as conclusive proof of robbery.
Some of the Lone.
Some of the losses are as follows:
Frank Brigham. 511,000, on general
store and double rooms; insurance, S?,
500. IdaM. Yerty, drug store, 81.600; no
insurance.
E. E. Knerr, hardware and jewelry,
$2,800; insurance, $1,200.

insurance, 81,200.
Dr. Woodward, office fixtures, 8400;
no insurance.
J. C. Rahe, publisher of the Sun, Sl,
500; no insurance.
The top part containing the opera
house and offices, costing 82,000, had
no insurance. i

Shelby and was praised by everv troupe
playing there. The Nebraska tele
phone office was in the big store. No
money was secured by the robbers in

it
Three stores were broken open and
tills tapped, also 8200 in stamps were
stolen or burned. Mail sacks and all
mail and postofllce equipments were
burned. Stolen letters and registered
packages had been opened and found a
block away.
The opera block, with its furniture,
will probably entail a loss of almost
ten thousand dollars, which the other
losses will easily swell to more than
the twenty thousand mark. The block
and stocks, with the exception of that
of Mr. Laird's, it is understood, were
well insured. Mr. Laird carried no in
surance and his loss will be a total
one. Only twenty dollars was saved
from the postofllce.
No clue to the burglars has been
found. Bloodhounds from Lincoln
have gone to Shelby to trace the
robbers.
MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE

A Maysville, O., dispatch says the
Jury returned a verdict of murder in
the first degree without recommenda

murder ot Charles Lane, an express
messenger on a Panhandle eastbound
train. The murder was committed for
the purpose of robbery. Ferrell se
cured 81,000 in money from the way

The verdict carries with it the death
penalty, which, in Ohio, is electrocu
