"How long ago Is it' since 'those
days' ? " queried Don , toying with a
goldenBtrnrid , of her hajr. Her words
had restored his reassurance and calm.
"I try to think it is n long , long
time , Don , " she answered gravely , "for
then I never thought of right or wrong ,
or how beautiful It makes life If wo
try to serve God rather than self. Oh , "
Bho broke off , with a thrill of emotion
In her voice , "sometimes I pray I may
Hvo to bo an old woman , Juut to try to
mnko up for all those wasted years. "
"And DO I , too , pray that you mny ,
though It were only to nolaco the de
clining years of a lost sinner like my-
eolf , sweet ealnf , " he rejoined , lightly.
"And now , my darling , since I know
your heart Is mine , beyond retraction ,
I ran risk to tell you my news from
home today. Thai faithless Roddy Is
about to bo cspojiscd tp m.y sinter , DI. "
"Oh , I am so glad so glad ! " she ex
claimed , and there' was no mistaking
the genuine warmth of her words.
"You will toll him that when you
write , won't ypn , Don ? And I myself
' will write to Dl. Oh , Don , I think Dl
Is one of th'tf nbblest women In the
whole world. But for her example I
should never have learned to remem
ber our lives are not our own. "
Don rose from her side with a mo
mentary flush on his chcok.
"You were not always such a little
Puritan , Lilllc , " li'e Rallied her , "or ,
don't you kndw , 'pon my word , I
Bhould hove hcen afraid to think It
possible you would ever look at- such
' ' '
a repr6b'at'e' fts.mo . , for you know I am
not a hypocrite , LIllIe I'm not a good
follow by any mwrns , and , to tell the
truth , I don't want to bo one. "
It was a bold thing for Jilm to nay
In the face of her guileless professions
of faith ; but love made LlJUe.uJlnajo
everything but the bliss of knowing
ho had claimed her , heart fof.eVe'r/
and that Into his hands had been put
tno wonurous power of making , , hja ,
chequered life blessed. " <
She rose , too , and put her hands out
> to him with a sweetness that banished
nil thought of alien opinion.
"Some day , Don , perhaps you will
come to know , us I do now , that this
world la not everything ; and so long
as you love mo I am content to wait
, for I know that God will make It plain
to you In His own good time. "
D n's arms closed around her with
more demonstrative tenderness than
he had yet shown.
"My white Lily , I am perfectly cer
tain wo shall prove a model Darby and
Joan , for. s.nco you will have me , what
do I care for anything else ? "
And then ho kissed her again , and
murmured "sweet nothings" In her car
that brought the color Hitting happily
to her'lovely cheek. Lastly ho drew
from his little finger a gold band , bearIng -
Ing a diamond Ivy leaf , and Inscribed
Inside with the single word "Dydand"
steadfast the Gordon badge and1
motto ,
' And when he had placed It on the
third finger of Lllllo's fair hand , jsho
repaid him by throwing her arms nbout
his neck and giving him the first shy
kiss of love.
"Oh , Don , mny we be like the Ivy ,
and always cling close to each other.
May nothing ever como between us
two ! " she cried.
Those words of deepest love might
mayhap have fallen moro fitly from
the man's lips than the girl's ; but Don
road In their sweet solemnity the hid
den meaning of a. hoped-for higher
bond of union , and ho only smiled con
siderately as ho held her close and re
turned her kiss with liberal Interest.
"I hope , " he said playfully , "that
means you never , never would bo so
cruel as to Jilt me ns you did old nod
dy. There ! forgive me , sweet , I'm
a brute to have reminded you of those
days when you were such a dear little
coquette. Are you quite sure you are
not afraid of giving yourself to such
a jealous beggar as I am , Llllio ? For
you know I am Jealous. "
"Do you know why I didn't tell you
of Roddy's engagement till I know that
J had won your dear heart ? Because
I didn't want to bo taken out of pity. "
"You need never be Jealous of mo
any more , Don , " she said , with sweet
earnestness.
"What of His Highness Prince Clem
ent Sing , who your father told me sent
you lately a present of a certain cash
mere Blmwl , and a clmmpac necklace ? '
lie queried , laughing.
But the question turned Lllllo's
blushing face for the Instant pale. It
had suddenly reminded her of Captain
Convent's favor of this would-be suit
or for her hand. Prince Clement Sing
though a native of the Punjaub , hat
European blood in his veins , and hai
lived from boyhood in England , and
graduated at one of the English uni
versities.
"I .would have returned thp presents
but father explained to me It , wouft
give serious offense , " she said depre
' '
. "it was unpleasant to have
( o.accept them ; but If it IH the ciintom
of' ' the country to give costly thjngn
'like ' that ns we give flowers and trifles
nt homo ' ' Slio stopped.
- "I1 was only joking , ' " Don Interrupted
her calmly. "But this remindsme ,
love. I shall have to got , your father's
consent , I suppose , before I can ask you
to name the happy day ? For you
know of old I'm not a patient fellow ,
Llllio. I like things to be assured and
smooth-sailing. I stick to the fine old
maxim : 'If 'twere well 'twei'e done ,
then 'twere well it wcro done
quickly' . "
She looked up in her tall lover's face
with a piquant , dubious smile.
"That sounds almost like getting
over a disagreeable duty , " she objected.
"And I am sure my father won't want
mo to run away from him just yet not
till this disturbance on the frontier
Is over , and ho Is ready to take me
homn. "
For to the heart of a Briton , in
whatever foreign clime , the sacred
nn'mo of "Home" belongs to the be
loved British Isles alone.
For answer Don drew her once more
within his arms.
"I can't wait for that , Llllle. " And
If i hhi mastqry fjroHe , mp.ro from the
dogmatic will of the man than the 1m-
pqtujslty of the lovcT , there was no
ddubt about his earnestness. "If you
over go back homo , It must bo as my
wife ; but , Llllio , I won't promise you
I would take you. I could not bear
It , for I am a homeless wanderer now. "
Thp quiver jn his ; volce moved her
profoundly.
' 'Wo ' will make n fresh home * Don ,
you and I , wherever you llko In the
whole world , " she said.
Even Don , self-absorbed as wns his
nature , was touched by her dfivotlon.
"You arc very generous , my darling ,
and I am going to take you at your
word by asking your father to give
you to mo before the auminer. I hope
to HBO him in. a very short time , for I
have Just had orders to take a relief
draft of our pprbys out to Join his
camp to-morrow. "
She turned pale as her clinging
gown , , i
! "To-morrow ? Oh , Don , why didn't
you' toll 'mo before you were going to
, | oavemo ( to-morrow ? "
kj"Bqcause 111 news Is told all too
peen , " ho answered gently , "But
bjicer np , 'child , I don't expect to bo
gone moro than three or four weeks
at the most. "
But she clung to him , with the tears
BWlmmlng in her beautiful blue eyes.
"Oh , Don , my dearest , I shall be
dreading all sorts of things happening
to you on the way ! I used to feel so
frightened when my father went out
first ; but no\w I know ho is safely In
camp it Is different. Oh , Don ! " she
broke off , "If'you never como back to
me It would break my heart ! "
"My darling , " ho reassured her , "tho
tribes hayo surrendered , , and the war
-practically over. There's really
nothing torbo nervous about. "
"You must think of me killing tlmo
counting the hours which w.ljl bring
mo back to the dear little woman who
IB going to ripen 'a ' paradise for the
poor outcast wanderer. "
She nut P ber little hand to his
lips.
' 'Don't call yourself that. Don. As wo
hope to bo forgiven , forgive and for
get the wrong your mother did you
when she brought you up as Gadle's
lielr. Remember It was all for love
of yoU'Rlieiiglnned. "
"What then , sweet pleader , would
you have It that love condones a sin ? "
tie queried , capturing the hand and
covering It with kisses.
"God forbid ! " she answered earnest
ly ; "but Burely , because of that love ,
forgiveness should bo easier ? "
Ah ! how both wcro to remember that
conversation in a bitter day to come !
All too soon came the llnnl moment
for last caresses and parting words ,
for presently the red-turbancd nntlvo
announced that "Gordon sahib's horse
was at the gate as ordered , and his
cloak also , as dew was falling. "
Llllio picked np a silk coverlet from
the divan , and throwing It over her
shoulders , accompanied her lover to
the veranda.
The moon had risen , and in its clear
light her lovely face , with Ha aureole
of golden hair , shone radiant with Its
love , but quivering with the pain which
this moment of farewell brought.
The red fireflies were flashing , the
perfume of rose and pink oleander
wafted from the garden on the hot nlr.
On the far-stretching terrace of the
bungalow a great adjutant bird , with
Its head nestling under its wing , was
silhouetted against the silvery expanse
of sky.
From the prlckly-penr hedge of the
compound rose anon the melancholy
howl of a Jackal.
All unconsciously , scene and hour
were to bo Hxod irrevocably upon Don
Gordon's memory down to the veriest
trifle.
Ho took his cloak from the' native's
baud , and , throwing It on , stood irllllng
with UR clasp to prolong the exquisite
fascination of the-spell which had sud
denly fallen upon him and hold him in
KB grasp.
Wan It the mystic secret of love
which was coming to him there on the
silvery wlnga of the tropic night.
He stooped at iastra ii"gath rpi | the
trombllng girl In a lingering embrace.
"What m Bsago shall I take to the
father , llttln one ? "
"That I love you , " HIO answered sim
ply , "and that I only live for you both
to come , back to me. "
He sealed the confession with n pan-
( donate kiss , and tore himself away , to
Wring lightly to the saddle.
For nn Instant ho paused on his
prancing atccd with bared head , his
brown eyes bent upon her , and. a amllo
on bin moustnchcd lips.
"Till we moot again. " Ho spoke
softly then , ns , kissing his hand to her ,
ho leaumed his helmet and galloped
away into the moonlit night.
"Till we meet again ! "
She lifted her tcar-dlmmcd eyes to
the star-spangled heavens in u mute
supplication that the Father of all
would watch between him and her till
that day came.
Ah ! Bho Ilttlo knew what the inter
val hold In store.
CHAPTER III.
"Impossible , my dear sir Impossi
ble ! "
It was Captain Derwent who spoke
In that decidedly aggressive tone of
derision , and ho whom ho addressed
won Don Gordon , as they strolled In
company along a narrow track by the
sldo of a winding nullah , on tholr way
back to mess nt the TIrah camp.
It wns nearly three weeks since the
lover had bidden Llllle farewell , and
Bho It wno who was under discussion
now.
now.Don's
Don's cheek wan flushed , and his dark
eyes glowed ominously as their glance
followed the clouds of pale smoke from
the cheroot ho puffed for several min
utes In proud silence.
That he had never contemplated Cap
tain Derwent'H blunt refusal of his suit
was very certain , by the easy assurance
with whlph ho had courted and won
Lllllo's own consent.
"You say It Is Impossible your daugh
ter should over bo my wife ? " Don
spoke at last , with painful distinct
ness.
It was characteristic of Don's nature
that ho was rarely roused to passion ;
but , once roimcd , It was deep and last
ing ; and by the pallor that had re
placed the flush upon his face It was
too evident he was moved to passion
now.
"Perfectly Impossible , my dear fel
low , though I hate telling you so , don't
you know ? "
"Since you have told me so much , I
should like that you will tell mo more , "
said Don , In that calm voice that little
betrayed the flrc at his heart. "May
I ask why It Is perfeptly impossible ? "
"My dear sir , " exclaimed the elder
officer , somewhat sharply , "If your own
common sense does not tell you my
chief reasons , then .you must pardon
my being outspoken. You've said your
self you haven't a rupee beyond your
pay and what your uncle , Colonel Gor
don , chooses to allow you yearly. Now ,
honestly , do you consider you are at
all a suitable match for my little girl ,
who , you must remember , is now an
heiress. Had you been heir of Ga-
dle "
"Thanks , " said Don curtly. "I do
not need to bo reminded of my re
versed fortunes , and , I will confess , 1
should never have asked Llllle to
aharo my poverty. It Is only the fact
of her being an heiress makes It possi
ble she could over become my wife. "
"Ton my word , sir , you're frank ! "
exclaimed Captain Derwent , irritated
by what ho deemed effrontery on Don's
part. "My daughter should be hon
ored to know that , had she been a
'tocherless lass , ' as wo say In the
north , you would have had none of
her. "
Ho laughed , as if to pass the matter
off as a Joke ; but he was genuinely
annoyed.
( To bo continued. )
The Spread of Contasloin Ilnfn ! .
The responsibility of those persons
who supply the public with food and
drink is not sufficiently realized by the
community at large. Not long since
a number of cases of diphtheria broke
out In a neighborhood. The disease
was of a very severe type , and , In sev
eral instances , proved fatal after two
or three days' illness. It seemed im
possible , at first , to trace the conta
gion to its source , but after a thor
ough canvass of the vicinity It was
discovered that a dealer In milk had
in his family a couple of cases of diph
theria. He professed Ignorance of , the
cause of the children's sickness , and
even when assured of its nature ,
claimed that he had no idea that it
could be conveyed In milk. Tha fact
that parents do not know how chil
dren could have contracted this dis
ease often acts as a check upon any
efforts to combat It , Insisting that as
the Ilttlo ones have not been exposed
to this malady It certainly must bo
something else that alls them. When
Illness of this sort breaks out in a
family the only proper course is to
have It Investigated at once. Delays
are quite sure to bo disastrous if not
fatal , and in the present condition of
medical knowledge on this subject ,
there is reasonable hope of relief if
attention Is given when the first
smyptoms of Illness manifest them
selves.

PU13T01UA , March ! ) . Secretary of
State Ileltz has Issued it war bulletin
in which , after saying the government
has no olllcial tidings of the surrender
of General Cronje , but must accept It
au a fact , however painful , adds :
"Tho government remains assured
that the surrender will not discourage
the burghers In their dcfeiibe of their
Independence and standing as a nation.
The struggle thus far hau shown the
republics have vindicated themselves
as an Indepmident people. This re-
verao will not stagger us. In the strug
gle for our cherished "rights our belief
lenmlns that , whatever happens , the
Lord still rolgns.
"Owing to the Invasion of the Free
State by a large force of the enemy
and other clrcuniKtances it became nec
essary to take up other positions , hence
the burghers In iNatal have returned
to Ulggarsborg. All the commandos
have reached there safely , except a
few which retired in the direction of
Van Reenan's pass. Thus , Ladysmlth
and KImberley are no more besieged.
"In retiring the enemy was time
after time driven back , so that our
laagers were not cut off. In these
lights a few men were killed or
wounded and the enemy lost heavily.
"In spite of all reports the spirit of
the fighting men as to the outcome re
mains unchanged. Among the com
mandos in Natal the burgners are full
of courage.
"General DeWct now commands all
the commandos at the Moddor river.
"It Is understood that President
Kruger's visit to Bloemfontein was to
try to arrange a compromise of the
differences between the Transvaalers
and Free State. "
A special dispatch from Bloemfon-
tcln says that President Kruger , ad
dressing a. crowd of people Monday ,
enld :
"Although God Is testing our people ,
my personal opinion is that the limit
of the test is nearly reached. If the
people are sustained by faith In the
time of adversity , God will soon again
turn the tide in our favor. If we have
strong faith In God. Ho will surely de
liver us. The God of Deliverance of
the olden-time la the same God now. "
The speech of the venerable presi
dent brought tears to the eyes of men
and women alike. The Free State na
tional anthem was then sung.
The visit of President Kruger has
done much good and has cheered the
despondents. More recently he has
been visiting the commandos south of
Bloemfontein.
Much satisfaction Is expressed In all
circles at the courtesies extended to
General Cronje by the British.

NEW YORK , March 9. A special to
the Herald from Washington says :
By direction of Acting Secretary of
War Melklejpohn , Instructions have
been sent to Major General Otis to re
turn to the United States some time
in May one battalion each of the Four
teenth , Eighteenth and Twenty-third
infantry.
The withdrawal of those troops was
recommended by Major General Miles
several months ago. He pointed our.
to the department that the three reg
iments designated would have been
two years In the Philippines next
June.
There is no doubt that the decision
of the department to withdiaw three
battalions which number more than
1.000 men. Is Influenced to ? ome extent
by the disorganization of the rebel
army and the prospect that the Amer
ican troops will no longer meet with
resistance ftom an organized force.

News this afternoon says : "It Is
stated by Intimate friends of General

newspapers of the country in connec
tion with public questions now under

LEAD , S. D. , Miirch 9. Fire which
Btartcd about 1.IO : this morning in the
JJaiUenbcrg saloon destroyed $300,000
worth of property hcfoie it wns brought
under control at 2 o'clock in the after
noon.
The loss Is covered by 5100,000 insur
ance. Forty-three buildings were de-
utroyed , Including two brick blocks.
The Homestalce oillces and large atore ,
as well as the Hearst free library , sus
tained considerable damage from water
and explosion of dynamite across the
street. One solid block of wooden ten
ement houses was consumed.
One contract was let today for a $15-
000 atone and brick block to replace
the burned structures and architects
from this city and Deadwood are drawIng -
Ing plans for four other buildings.
Seeveral reasons contributed to the
spread of the llamos. One of them
was the inflammable nature of most of
the buildings , which were of frame.
Another was the high wind , which
amounted almost to a gate , and another
was the inadequate pressure of water.
In addition to the local tire department
the entire force of the Deadwood , Ter-
ravllla and Central City departments
were munmoncd , but In spite of their
best efforts the lire continued to
spread. It was finally checked by the
use of dynamite. Buildings In the path
of the flames were blown up and so
far as possible the deurls taken out of
the way. The shocks of the explosions
were so great that they shattered the
windows in many business houses.
At one time it looked as though
nothing could save the entire business
part of ine town and the big reduction
works and stamp mill of the Home-
stake Mining company and the other
big mining properties of the camp.
The blowing up of the buildings
stopped the flre , however , before it
readied these valuable properties. In
all , between forty and fifty buildings
were destroyed. Among them were
practically all the houses in the ten
derloin district.
PLANS TO IMPROVE RIVERS.
Number of SiigReHtlous fur the Missis

WASHINGTON , March 9. The sen
ate committee on commerce granted
a hearing today to a number of persons
Interested in river Improvements ,
among them James Seldcn Cowden , In
the interest of his plan for the Im
provement of the Mississippi river , a
number of New Orleans business men
In behalf of other plans for Missis
sippi river Improvements and Mr.
Charles Stoughton , in support of the
project for the construction of a canal
to connect the lower Harlem river
with Long Island sound.
Messrs. Bryant , Saunders and WoodWard -
Ward were heard upon the necessity
for the improvement of the Mississippi
river outlet. They especially urged an
Immediate appropriation for the con
struction of ( Hedges with which to
keep the South Pass clear after the
expiration of the present Eads bridge
contract.
EXPERTS SAY PcACE IS NEAR.
Ktpuct True Stater * to Abandon the War
Soon.
LONDON , March 9. The full extent
of Lord Roberts' success of yesterday la
not clear , but the best Informed ap
pear satisfied that It brings peace per
ceptibly nearer. Experts anticipate
that the burghers will make no further
stand west of the Free State capital ,
and some of them even deduce from
the fact that the Boer forces are di
vided and have retreated In different
directions that demoralization has set
in and that the Transvall forces will
next le found carefully intrenched in
positions north of the Vail river , while
the bulk of the Free Staters will aban
don the contest and sue for peace.
Elsewhere the news indicates that the
conditions continue hopeful from a
British point of view , the telegrams

spondency.
