To Clarice, the consciousness of a B«w lover, who waited only for the faintest sign of encouragement from her to declare himself, -brought un- doubted consolation for the effort it ; had cost her.to renounce the old love; but Janetta drooped and pined for soone tidings of the man who had taken 5 ; her heart fey storm and held it fast-- ; ? Harry Merivale. She saw his arrival in England re­ corded in the daily paper. Later on > she noticed that his valuable services in the late campaign were to be re- warded by a high appointment in the war office. "Janetta," said Clarife, one day in ' June, "are you going to wear black clothes for the rest of your days? It's more than a year since your brother <died." "I'll go into colors again, if yon like," answered Janetta, obedient to V Clarices faintest wish. "Come up with me to London tomorrow and you ^Jtehall chooewpB* dresses for me." "I'm you must go alone, Jan­ etta, because--because Sir Robert has | telegraphed to say that he will be here and I must he at home to receive i.^iljplm." . Janetta looked up quickly, and Clar- ice's eyes fell before the questioning If glance. "Is it that you have given him '• leave to come, Clarice?" "Well, yes," Clarice admitted, half |i teluctantlv. "He loves me as I believe never woman was loved before--a mil­ lion times more than I'm worth loving *;•; *-«nd I'm going to marry him. And •• 'I've pot It Into my head that I wish you to mark the occasion by dropping your black frock. So go to London and come back in the prettiest dress you * "Oh, my dear, my dear!" cried Jan- Itta, between laughter and tears, "how "*>> happy you have made me--how happy *' you will make the man who marries | - * you! I'm so glad, so glad, that I feel | ' if I could* soJ> my heart out for very '*i J°y" That dav Clarice wrfcte a short note . to Harry Merivale asking him to come |S,sfvjflown on the following afternon and epend the night at Sea Grange. ^ : "Surelv it is time we met again," 6he wrote. Site said nothing of her invita­ tion to Janetta; but asked her to be sure and return to Northcliff by a cer­ tain train she named in the afternoon. "And you are to come back in that new frock, Janetta. Sir Robsrt will be here, remember." So it came to pass that, on that June afternoon, Janetta stood on the plat­ form of London station, prepared to return to Northcliff. She was dressed in a pale gray costume, with soft frills about her throat, and a large gray hat with drooping feathers, and stood by the door of her carriage, unconscious of the many glances of admiration that were cast at her as the passengers hur­ ried by. She was thinking of her first Journey to Northcliff, only she teen months ago, and feeling that a lifetime seemed to have passed since then. "Good evening, Miss Howard. Shall y,.. we travel together?" said a voice be­ hind her. And, turning, she found herself face to face with the man of her dreams. It was impossible to keep the tumul­ tuous joy that his presence brought with it out of her greeting. A fabulously large tip to the guard insured their privacy; and Harry could not repress a little triumphant laugh as the train steamed out of the sta­ tion. Then for the first time Janetta trusted herself to look steadily at him. He was bronzed with exposure to sun and weather; he was thinner,too; per­ haps not so strictly handsome as when he had gone away, but the face had gained much in nobility. "You knew I should come, Janetta. You were certain that, when It seemed right and fitting. I should come?" "I was not quite sure," Janetta fal­ tered. * "Then you ought to have been, my darling, my darling!" said Harry, drawing nearer. "I can't be mistaken, Janetta. Love like mine have its echo in your heart" "Yes," said Janetta, simply. And the next instant Harry's arms closed round her. "Oh. what will Clarice say?" cried Janetta, when the train drew up at Northcliff an hour or so later. "She is here to speak for herself," •aid Harry, jumping on the platform, "and Drake is with her." (The End.) O.OAO.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.OO.QOWO'O'tf'Q WHITE FEATHER iter There is no need to mention the name of his regiment here. That is a secret that belongs to the army alone. Suffice it to say that his comrades are proud of his name. He should never have entered the army at all, much less a hard riding cavalry regiment, which had a reputa­ tion to sustain by a yearly tribute of broken necks and collar bones. His proper vocation was that of a. linen draper's assistant, and he had filled that occupation very satisfactor­ ily "till one evil day he had fallen in love with a girl, a silly, shallow girl at wnom no practical man or boy would have taken a second look. He adored her, and she adored sol­ diers. In their walks abroad she would direct his steps toward the Horse guards or Wellington barracks, that she might gaze in admiration at the fine, strapping soldiers who were to be seen there, and every time she pinched his arm and exclaimed: "Oh, Jack, look at that lovely soldier!" his heart gave him a pang at the thought that he was only a draper's assistant, with nothing in common with the military tout the handling of red cloth! He was a dreamer by nature, and falling in love did not lessen his weakness in this direction. Dreaming is pardon­ able in a poet, but an unpardonable as he stood at his counter his mind was far away from his work. Instead of listening to the "Forward!" of the shopwalker he couid only hear the short-flung word of command and the blare of the bugles that sounded through his dreams; wherefore it was not long before he came into conflict with his practical chief. A few sharp words passed. He threw up In three seconds a position It had taken six years of hard, unremitting labor to attain. Then he enlisted. He gained his title on his first dis­ play in the riding school, where, after a short ride on the neck of the riding master's pet buck jumper, he turned deathly pale and cried aloud that he might be allowed to dismount. The horse at once gratified his de­ sire by throwing him on to the tan, where he lay trembling in every limb, much to the diversion of a couple of rough riders who were standing by. They were quick to inform their re­ spective squadrons, and his former oc­ cupation being known, he was prompt­ ly christened White Feather. In those dark days it was the Joy of the more hardy recruits to take him aside solemnly and request the service of three pence three farthings worth of white feathers. Any morsel of down or fluff that might float into the barracks was promptly captured and presented to him with due ceremonies by Trumpeter Pipes, the low comedian of the regiment. The older men forebore to join in with these somewhat tiring repetitions of a stale joke. They remembered their own experiences in the riding school and recognized that White Feather was a quiet and inoffensive fellow, de­ void of the impudence and bad man­ ners peculiar to recruits and respectful and helpful to his seniors. The sergeant instructor, too, after a time took a fancy to his timid recruit, and took extra trouble to teach him how to keep his heels out, his hands down and his head up. "I've made smart cavalrymen out o' bigger duffers than you," he used to remark encouragingly as he flicked White Feather's horse into a canter, "and I'll make a rider o* you, or I'll break your neck!" White Feather's neck remained unbroken, so it is to be presumed that the sergeant instructor fulfilled his word. Presently he began to lose the hang­ dog look of suppressed terror with which he had been accustomed to enter the riding school and to acquire the easy swagger of a cavalryman. His chest, contracted by long hours at the counter, developed under healthy training. Fresh air and much exer­ cise helped White Feather's develop­ ment, which had been sadly retarted by the heavy, gas-laden atmosphere in which he had lived. His nerves ac­ quired tone, and he learned to take a tumble now and then as a matter of course and to fire his carbine without shutting his eyes and blanching at the explosion of the cartridge. "Blow me, if he isn't going to shapa into a man at last!" quoth the ser­ geant instructor. •Then a great blow fell upon him. He received one morning a letter from the girl to tell him that she had given him up in favor of a shopwalker who had expectations of being set up in busi­ ness by his father. She admitted^ that she had adored soldiers and that she had caused him to enter the army for her sake. But she bad omitted to state that the soldiers she adored were sol­ diers who possessed the queen's com­ mission and who wore stars instead of a worsted stripe. If poor White Feather was a physi­ cal coward, he was a moral hero. There Is no chance of a display of feeling in a barrack room, so, like the Spartan boy of old, he hugged his trouble to him, slipping the cheap little engage­ ment ring with which he had sealed his troth into his pocket without a s!gn beyond the twitching of his white lips. Then he lit his pipe with the letter, not out of contempt, but because there is little privacy accorded in the corre­ spondence that comes to the barrack room, and a private soldier is not pro­ vided with* a desk wherein to keep his faded flowers and other sentimental tokens of the past. The blow was a very heavy one, for White Feather was without the world­ ly knowledge that should have told him long since that he had Jixed his affections upon a vulgar, selfish and brainless flirt, and he still believed in her. For her sake he had learned to over­ come his physical cowardice. He had dreamed of a possible commission in the dim future and had rejoiced in the recently acquired promotion as a step toward her. For her sake, too, he received the news cheerfully when the word passed through the barracks that the regi­ ment was ordered to South Africa to meet the Boers. He knew that he wa? by nature a coward, but for the mem­ ory of her he swore an oath to himself to do his duty without sparing himself in the coming fight. • • e "Look 'ere, old chap, we ain't going to call you While Feather no more!" said Trumpeter Pipes as they lay to­ gether behind the shelter of a large bowlder, against the face of which the Boer bullets w,ere pattering like a heavy rain. In full sight of the whole army their fquadron had crossed the Boer front amid a hail of bullets which find brought twenty men to earth. White Feather's horse had been shot under him, and, at the risk of his life. paw him stoop" despairingly. ft* H9 then lie.ipion h could crawl no _ "I will, for her sake!" he muromr# between his clenched teeth, and, rising from the shelter of the rock, he faced the hall of death that pattered to the earth around him. As he walked into the open a faint cheer reached his ears from the British troops half a mile behind him. The Royal artillery becked him with a shrieking flight of shrapnel, which whistled for a moment overhead, then burst over the Boer lines a quarter of a mile away in a shower of bullets that for a moment quelled the storm around him. He reached the wounded man, lifted him on his back and returned step by step to Where Trumpeter Pipes lay hid­ den. The trumpeter gave him a faint "Bravo!" as he staggered and fell with bis burden into the kindly shelter of the rock. That was White Feather's reward. On a distant hill the British com­ mander shut his field glasses with a snap. "Tell the general to keep down the fire on the right there and get those men in from behind those bowlders," he said to his aid, "and bring me that man's name. If he is alive, tell him that I saw It all, and that I'm going to recommend him for the cross. Never saw a finer show of finer discipl'ne in my life!" added 'the commander to himself as his aid galloped off. White Feather's eyes glistened as he received the messages and heard the cheer that swept along the lines as he was carried in. "Perhaps I shall get that commission after all," he said to himself; "th|n she will think more of aw." •" : • * *. •• * •/ ;.\3.ViV.

It involves difficult engineering, and the railroad authorities decided,, for a few years, to use ice-breaking steamers, tie barges to them, load them with pas­ sengers and freight cars and thus ferry trains across the lake. But now they have come to the conclusion to build the line around the foot of the lake as soon as they can, for they are hav­ ing no end of trouble with stormy a»d foggy Baikal. The lake is sixty-five miles wide and it Is no joke for the passengers to be penned in their cars on the barges for twenty to forty hours at a time, as has happened now and then within the last year. On these oc­ casions a storm on the lake'or a heavy fog has made it impossible to reach port on the farther side. Anyone knowing the conditions cf travel cn this lake might expect such accidents. There is no good port and one cannot he made without spending a fortune. A while ago sailing vessels were the only means of transport, and they sometimes took over a fortnight in crossing the lake, beating up and down and waiting for a chance to get to the landing while storms were raging for days and days. Millions of Russians seem to have an erroneous idea of Bai­ kal. It is the largest fresh water lake in Asia, but the Russians do not hesi­ tate to call it the largest in the world. In fact, the lake is thus ranked in some of the geographies used in Rus­ sian schools. The compilers of these text books would seem never to have heard of our great lakes and those of central Africa.--New York Sua* Tell* JVwy of "&too LisJtf. Brain specialists have examined Francis Frederick Washburn of Alle- greny, Pa., whose double lapse of memory gave him practically two lives. Seventeen years ago, while traveling on the Rock Island road near Rock Island, Washburn was injured In a wreck. Later he came to Allegheny, married and engaged in business. A few nights ago one of his four chil dren dropped a lighted lamp on the floor. It so startled Washburn that he fell and became unconscious. Next day when consciousness returned he thought he was back in the hospital where he was taken from the wreck, and aspertea that the past seventeen years were a blank to him. "If you want a brand new sensa­ tion," said Mr. Washburn the other day, "Just gd out of the world for sev­ enteen years and then come back. When I awoke the other day I thought I was in a Rock Island hospital, and the woman in the room was the nurse. When I asked if she was the' nurse she said she was my wife. I was indignant and ordered her from the room. I i f i a . : Sweeping the Etopbtnla ; Elephants are blessed with a gcod appetite, and would eat all day If they could. But although they could al­ ways .eat more than they get, they do not coEBume all the hay provided for them. Some of it they use as a guard against mosquitoes and flies by throw­ ing it quickly over their bodies. Lean­ ing over the railing in the elephant house in Central Park, New York, the other day, talking with Keeper Snyder, was a tall sailor of the American navy, on the ribbon of whose hat was the name of the battleship Kearsarge. The sailor was interested in elephants, and for his benefit Keeper Snyder made Tom, the larger of the park's two ele­ phants kneel, and when he was down and his back was thus within reach, the keeper took a broom and swept from the elephant's broad back the thick layer of hay that was upon it. This sweeping of the elephant'! t>ack caused the visitor some amusement, for, as he remarked, he had se:n houses and sidewalks and steamboats swept, but he had never before seen anybody sweep an elephant Yet sweeping the elephants is in all sh^ws a regular part of the duty of the keep­ er. If the show gives a street parade, the last thing don'e before the ele­ phants come out into public view Is to sweep them off. It is just so at the Zoo in Central Park. Before the men­ agerie is opened to the public in the morning, the last of the preparations in the elephants' house consists of making the elephants kneel to be swept.--Youth's Companion. if 5 t : v.?!* CU»*ft»* to |»otl«h Uaw«|ii The Poles who inhabit the province of Posen, a part of the former king­ dom of Poland, wish to maintain the public use of their language, but the authorities do not approve of their de­ sire.

They told me I was a painter and a good one, but I knew little about that trade before the wreck. They told me I have been riding in trolley cars for ten years, but when one came by me a few days ago I was scared. They weren't known in my first time.

Just imagine hot knowing one's own children. Wouldn't that surprise you?" Dr. Edward C. Mayer, a brain spe­ cialist, and Dr. Stanley G. Small are attending Washburn. "There is only one other case like it," said Dr. Small. 'That is the case of Pastor Hanna of New York reported by Dr. Boris Sidis in his book on 'Psychology of Sugges­ tion.' The disease is known as ma- nesia. One peculiar thing about the case Is that Mr. Washburn always re­ membered his'name. This may be ac­ counted for in this way. When he en­ tered the Rock Island hospital his name was found in papers on his per­ son. During his stay and at his dis­ charge from the hospital he was called by his right name, and it remained with him." • Tht Surplus H+dtnue*. The secretary of the treasury says he will not use the surplus revenues for the purchase of bonds so long as they command the premium they do now, a premium which would Increase if the government were to become a purchaser. The 2 per cents are selling at 106 and a fraction, and the bonds which will mature during the next sev­ en years, which the secretary will buy if he buys any. are quoted at from 111 to 113. The department would not be Justified in buying bonds at these fig­ ures unless it was absolutely necessary to put into circulation some of the money locked up in the treasury and there was no other way In which it could be done. ff*bra*Ka Ctrl in &urop*.

Mr. W. R. Corser, of Hlgginsville, Lafayette Co., Mo., was a delegate there during last summer, and writing of his. impressions he says: "I found surprising yields of grain of all descriptions.
