An hour later Antta Murdook walked
nwny from th % liuutlly Improvised

Bho was no nun o lit to take up a claim

She looked at him In unite Imiulry.
"I thought boHt not to nay this be

think of resuming your journoy. lie

niul the rnru air on top of the Divide
nvould certainly bring on another liein-

"Thon you monn that wo can never
go Into La Junta valley ? "
There waB angulHh In the question ,
nnd the doctor ho.sltatod.
"I bollovo the disappointment would
Iclll lilm , " Hhe continued. " 13vor nlnco
wo got that first railroad circular ho
has boon counting on going there , get

nor for six months , and wo know Just
[ where we want to live and how to Hie
our claim. Oh , wo must go onl"
"Woll , for the present you had better
otop hero and lot your father recuper
ate. Perhaps when It Is cooler At
nny rate , there Is a tidy two room
Bhack right back of my olllco. The
rent Is cheap , and I can keep an eye
on him until ho Is in shape to travel.
It won't do for him to sloop hero on
the river edge even one night. Wo
must pull him together , you know. "
And the doctor nodded encouragingly
to the girl , who stood watching him
with wide open , frightened eyes.
So , all unwillingly , did the Murdochs
tnUo up their residence In Fort Simp-
eon. The hot blasts of July merged
into the Billion humidity of August ,
nnd .one . day In the freshening breath
of September Henry Murdoch tottered
to the postotllco for the La Junta
Banner. They read It together , ho and
Anita , read of the mountain locked
valley whore the sun never shone too
fiercely nor yet the blasts blew cruel
ly ; where crops rose like air castles In
the night ; where the sick were made
well ; where nnd this was the best of
nil starved , weak lungs were fed and
strengthened. The Mnrdocks knew all
the prominent La Junta citizens by
name , rejoicing with them in success ,
eympathlzlng with them in adversity.
They lived in Fort Simpson , but their
hearts were in IM Junta. And now
only the Divide , with its pitiless alti
tude , stood between them and this
promised land , to reach which they
bad sold their little Iowa home.
That night nftcr her father had
fallen Into a troubled sleep she footed
up their account book. They had lived
BO simply , yet little remained. If they
cold the horses , they might reach the
valley by rail , but mountain railroad
fares are high , and without horses
how could they farm ?
She rose impulsively and hurried to
Dr. Byrne's olllce. Ho received her
, wlth undisguised pleasure. , Of late ho
had felt that his calls had been un
welcome. Very delicately they had
hinted that professionally he was not
needed , and ho feared that they might
view his obvious attempts to "drop
in" socially an professional calls char
itably paid.
"Father BCCUIS stronger today. Don't
you think ho can stand the Journey
very BOOU ? "
Dr. Byrne shook his head.
"Tho nights are cold. Thcro is al
ways frost In the mountains ? "
"But you said when It was cooler , "
eho persisted.
lie led her to the window and point
ed silently to the distant mountain ,
where even iu the moonlight she could
catch the glint of snow patches. She
clasped her hands In despair.
"Why why did you tell me he could
go later ? You knew all the time that
he could not take the trip , and yet"
Sue turned upon him fiercely and
read that in his eyes which made her
wrath burst Into a ilainc. In her un
reasoning , love for her father she read
In this other man's love for herself
only selfishness. Ho had thought that
if she stayed she might learn to love
him. And now she hated him.
"Oh , if I had never listened to you !
Now ho will stay here to die. "
Dr. Byrne tried to take her hot hands
in his , but she drew away from him.
"My dear girl , you are well and
strong. For you the overland Journey
has no horrors ; for your father It
means death. "
"Then , " exclaimed Anita bitterly , "I
must get something to do , BO that we
can go by rail. I thought it my duty
to care for him , and now our money is
nearly gone. "
lie gained possession of her hands
thlrt time ,
"Anita , it is your duty to care for
him until the end. Won't you let me
help youT Marry mo tomorrow , nnd I
will care for you lioth , "
"No , nol" nlin exclaimed pnnalonnto-
ly. "It haft been his dream to go there ,
Dr. Byrne , if you love mo as you any
you do help me to get work anything
that ID honest. "
The man nlghed nnd turned away ,
Ho realized that ho had no place In her
heart or thoughta. When he faced her
again , hl voice wnn calm and even ,
"I think It can ho arranged , Mrs.
Gallagher needn nome ono to help her
with the girls. You know her hUHband
holds an Intercut In the Ten Strike ,
and nho wants to take the girls cant ,
then abroad , They are irIM as In

they need training dowu , Do you

loon and dance hall In Fort Simpson ,
Anlta'H face Hushed , then paled.
"Thank you. 1 will try It. "
Two days later she was Installed an
governo.sH In the nolHy Gallagher house
hold , with the privilege of going homo
at night , She was to teach the girls
how to walk and talk and dross. Mrs.
Gallagher considered the hiHt accom
plishment most Important. She HOOD
became extravagantly fond of Anita
and would have loaded her with pros-
cntH , but the girl proudly declined ev
erything except her Hillary.
Ho the winter crept Into the tender
outstretched arniH of spring , and Ani
ta's bank account grow. She had
leased the hornos to a wood hauler ,
and she had sowed nights. She was
too busy even to note the gradual
change in her father. Ho seemed con
tent and quiet each evening when HIO !
came home , and she little guessed
whose hand ministered to him during
the day.
The Gallaghers were departing for
the east. Anita was at the depot to
BtMS them oil' . The girls no longer shuf-
lied when they walked , and they un
derstood the use of knives and forks.
Mrs. Gallagher surveyed their neat
traveling frocks with pardonable pride.
Then she sllppod an envelope Into Anl
ta's hand.
"Sure , you've done wonders by me
gyurls , an' It's that I've been tryln1 to
toll you In the letther. "
When the nraln pulled out , Anita
opened the envelope. It contained no
word of writing , Just a crisp banknote
that fairly took her breath. And her
salary had been paid In full. Anita
walked homo on air. They would start
for La Junta on the morrow.
In the doorway stood Dr. Byrne ,
shading his eyes with his hand and
looking up at the everlasting hills. In
her happiness she would have brushed
by him , but he barred her passage.
"Is ho sleeping ? " she Inquired. Then
something In the doctor's face caught
and hold her attention.
"What Is It ? No-no , not that ! " she
cried. "Oh , God , nnd I have worked
so hard ! "
She swayed In the doorway , nnd Dr.
Byrne , taking her in his arms , led her
gently Into the darkened room. Ills
voice was low and comforting.
"It came so suddenly , though I have
seen Its shadow for weeks , dear. There
was no time to send for you , and he
left this word : 'Tell 'Nlta I have
crossed the Great Divide , but I will
wait for her on the other side. Be
good to her. ' Darling , will you let me
bo good to you ? In your great sorrow
don't try to stand alone. "
Without replying she crossed the
room , raised the shoot and looked long
nnd steadily into her father's face. On
It rested a smile of ineffable peace.
The money fell noiselessly to the fioor.
It had been earned In vain. Then she
turned and looked Into the brown eyes
bout pityingly upon hor.
"Harry , " she murmured , "ho does
not need it or mo , nnd I am so
tired. " Her head drooped wearily up
on his shoulder , and his arms folded
lovingly around her.

Refinement looks over with disap
proval upon heedless waste and need
less extravagance. She carefully
counts the cost and makes the most
of all material brought to her hand.
Consideration for others lias made her
watchful , and nothing In her charge
Is squandered or wantonly consumed.
To vulgar ostentation she firmly re
fuses the radiant light of her counte
nance , but seeks Instead tlio quiet
nooks , the retired haunts where dwell
those who know her true worth. The
spirit of refinement lives even with
those whose tastes are simple and pure ,
who make no pretenses , whoso faith in
humanity is strong and peal. To those
endowed with kindly tact and genial
wit , who employ all means of good
within their command , whoso hearts
are touched by the grief and misery
around them nnd who are quick to sco

An amusing story is told of a man
who was suddenly attacked In the
night by a violent fit of earache. His
wife told him that there was on the
window sill by the bed a bottle of
chloroform and recommended him to
rub some on his face.
Without striking a light ho reached
out for the bottle , pulled out the stop
per and , pouring some of the contents
Into his hand , anointed his face from
mouth to car. Very soon ho announced
that the pain was better , lay down
again and went to sleep. Ho was
awakened In the morning by a cry of
horror from his wife.
"What U the matter ? " he inquired.
"Look at your face ! " was the reply.
A glance In the glass showed him that
his face on ono side was black as a
negro's. The bottle which ho had
grasped in the dark had contained not
chloroform , but ink. Milwaukee Wis

followed a NCOIIO of bewilderment.
The mo'o Invariably snapped off Its

part of the veranda , while the lizard
ran off a short distance and awaited de
velopments.
"Tho kitten never knew whether to
catch the lizard or the tall. If the mo'o
moved , the kitten wont for It , but she
always stopped short to keep an eye on
the wrlggle.s of the tall. As soon as
she turned back to take care of the

have watched the dilemma , and the

One of the nightmares of John Ash-
ton's "Curious Creatures of Zoology"
Is the monkllsh , or sea monk , he being
indebted to both Aldrovnndus nnd Stow
for his account If the old writers are
reliable , these monsters were quite
common in the North sen , the British
channel and along the Irish coast up
to the year 1414 , when they are said to
have become extinct through tlio rav
ages of a plague similar to that which
was affecting men at about the same
time. The superstitious of those days
believed that they were priests or
monks who had been cursed for some
crime and condemned by God to nn
endless life beneath the waves.
Stow's account of ono caught In 1187
Is as follows : "Ho had the shape of n
man In all poynts nnd was kept In the
castle at Oxford by the keeper thereof.
All manner of raw meats he did gladly
catc , but more groedlllo of rawo fishe ,
after tlmt he had crushed out nil mois
ture. Often he wns brought to the
church , but showed no signs of rever
ence , nnd at length , when not well
looked to , he stole away to the sea and
was never seen again nftcr. "
Acrobatic Soldier * .
Clever nnd skillful Is n font which I
frequently performed by Italian sol-
dlors. Foreigners generally suppose
that It forms part of their drill , ns they
never perform It except when they are
In uniform , but It Is really one of n
series of gymnastic exercises which
Italian soldiers have for many years
been accustomed to practice nfter their
regular drill Is over. The feat consists
In piercing nn object with the point of
n sword while the swordsman Is In a
most nbnormnl position. That it Is not
easy to do this can readily be imag
ined. Indeed a soldier must practice
steadily for months before ho can feel
sure of reaching the mark. Whether
the skill which ho thus acquires will
ever be of any practical use to him Is
doubtful ; but , ns it Is rather n pastime
than n mllltnry exercise , the soldiers
never think of nsking themselves this
question.

"Firm ns n rock , " "unbending ns

n mntter of fact , there Is n sort of stone
that Is as flexible as wooden fiber. It

specimens known are now In museums.
Ono of the finest Is In the Hartley In
stitution , in Southampton , England ,
having been found near 'Delhi , India.
It is lathllkc In shape , about an Inch
thick and two feet long. It Is n partic

A woman , having been bitten by a

When the womnn begnn to show
signs of fear , the devil hunters com
menced to yelp like dogs , and the noise
was so grotesque that the Avornnn
speedily lost her sense and rnn nt her
tormentors , echoing their dogllko cries
nnd trying to bite them. They scat

of the gendnrmes to trnce the womnn
her body wns found at the bottom of

Subsequently , says the Westminster

nnd his body was found In the same

having induced the woman to drown
herself In the well , throw the man In

done so they would , they believed ,

Two or three miles back of Plym
outh , Mass. , Is a modest llttlo pond
called Bllllngton's sea. Bllllngton , an
adventurous pilgrim , had climbed a
tree nnd , looking westwnrd , had
caught sight of the shimmering water.
He looked at It with a wise surmise ,
and then the conviction flashed upon
him that he had discovered the goal of
hardy mariners the great south sen.
That was a great moment for Bllllng

Of course the Spaniards were more
fortunate in their geographical posi

Pacific that they saw from their peak

not grow on acquaintance.
But my heart goes out to Bllllngton.
He also was a discoverer , according to
his lights. lie belonged to a hardy
breed and could stare on new scenes
with the best of them. It was not his
fault that the Pacific was not there.
If It had been , Bllllngton would have
discovered It. Wo know perfectly well
that the Pacific ocean does not lave the
shores of Plymouth county , nnd so wo
should not go out Into the woods on n
fine morning to look for It. There is

The origin of the problem squaring
the circle Is almost lost In the mists of
antiquity , but there Is n record of nn

years before the exodus of the Jews.
There Is also n claim , nccordlng to
Hone , tlmt the problem wns solved by

BOO U. u. JNOW , the efforts ot Llippo'c-
ratca were devoted toward converting
a circle Into a crescent , because ho had
found that the area of n figure pro
duced by drawing two perpendicular
radii In a circle Is exactly equal to the
triangle formed by the line of Junction.
This Is the famous theorem of the
"Junes of Hippocrates" nnd Is , like

which sometimes follow n search for

Every flber and every cell that enters
Into the formation of a living body is
bathed In moisture , by which means

to be the most solid of nil , owe more
than half their weight to the presence
of fluid.
