Keith had crossed at this point so frequently with cattle that, once hav- ing his bearings, the blackness of the night made very little difference. Nevertheless, in fear lest her pony might stumble over some irregularity, he gave his own rein to Neb, and went forward on foot, grasping firmly the tired animal’s bit. It was a long stretch of sand and water extending from bank to bank, but the water was shallow, the only danger being that of straying off from the more solid bottom into quicksand. With a tower- ing cottonwood as guide, oddly mis- shapen and standing out gauntly against the slightly lighter sky, the plainsman led on unhesitatingly, until they began to climb the rather sharp uplift of the north bank. Here there was a plain trail, pounded into smooth- ness by the boots of cavalry horses ridden down to water, and at the sum- mit they emerged within titty yards of the stables. The few lights visible, some station- ary, with others dancing about like will-o’-the-wisps, revealed imperfectly the contour of various buildings, but Keith turned sharply to the right, anx- ious to slip past without being chal- lenged by a sentry. Beyond the brow of the bluff other lights now became visible, flickering here and there, marking where a straggling town had sprung up under the protection of the postâ€"a town garish enough in the daylight, composed mostly of shacks and tents, but now with its deficien- cies mercifully concealed by the en- veloping darkness. The trail, easily followed, led directly along its single street, but Keith circled the outskirts through a wilderness of tinâ€"cans and heaps of other debris, until he halted his charges beside the black shadow of the only two-story edifice in the place. This was the Occidental, the hospitality of which he had frequently tested. A light streamed from out the front. windows, but, uncertain who might be harbored within. Keith tapped gently at the back door. It was not Opened immediately, and when it was finally shoved aside the merest craok, no glow of light revealed the darkened interior. The voice which spoke, how- ever, was amply suflicient to identify its owner. “Is that ye agin, Murphy, 3. playin’ av yer dirthy thricks?” “No, Mrs. Murphy,” he hastened to explain, ~“this is Keithâ€"Jack Keith, of the ‘Bar X.’ ” “Shure It’s Safe It Is Yer Goin’ Ter Be Here.” “The Lord deliver us!” was the in- stant exc‘a: iation the door Opening wide. ‘TheV' do be afther tellin’ me to-night av the throuble ye was in 0V er at Carson, an’ Oi t’ought maxbe ye moight turn up this way.

'Come on in; Oi'll give ye number forty-two, thet’s next behlnt me own room, an' we’ll go up the back sthaJrs. Hllp the young loidy, Jack, fer shure ya know the way.” Fully convinced as to Mrs. Murphy’s good-Will, Keith slipped back into the darkness, and returned with the girl. Introductions were superfluous, as the mistress of the Occidental cared little regarding ceremony. “Oh, the divil take her bill. She’ll have the best in the house, annyhow, an’ Oi’m only hopin’ that fellow will turn up huntin’ her. Oi’d loike ter take one siap at the s-palpane.” . She disappeared, evidently with some hospitable purpose in view, and Keith, clasping the girl’s hand, under- took the delicate task of safely escort- ing her through the dark kitchen, and up the dimly remembered stairs. Only a word or two passed between them, but as they neared the second story a light suddenly streamed out through the opened door of a room ‘at their left. Mrs. Murphy greeted them at the landing, and for the first time saw the girl’s weary white face, her eyes filled with appeal, and the warm Irish heart responded instantly. “Ye poor little lamb; it’s the bid ye want, an’ a dhrap o’ whiskey. Jack Keith, why didn’t ye tillme she was done up wid the hard ride? Here, honey, sit down in the rocker till Oi get ye a wee dhrink. It’ll bring the roses back to the cheeks av ye.” She was gone, bustling down the dark stairs, and the two were alone in the room, the girl looking up into his face, her head resting against the cushion- ed back of the chair. He thought he saw a glimmer of tears in the depths of her lash-shaded eyes, and her round white throat seemed to choke. 01 am ter do it! ' Bring 'her 115. ()1 don’t want tar hear no more.” “Just a word, Kate; I don’t know whether she has any money or not, but I’ll pay her bill, as soon as it is safe for me to come back.” “You will be perfectly secure here,” he said, soothingly, “and can remain as long as you please. Mrs. Murphy will guard you as though you were her own daughter. She is a bit rough, maybe, but a big-hearted woman. and despises Hawley. She nursed me once through a touch of "typhoidâ€"yes, by‘ Jove,” glancing about in sudden recognition, “and in this very room, He laughed, a little uneasily, as though he preferred to make light of the whole matter. The girl’s glance wandered over the plain, neat furnishings, and the rather pathetic attempts at decoration, 'yet with apparently no thought for them. “Youâ€"you have not told me where you were going.” “Really, I have hardly decided, the world is so wide, and I had no 'reason to suppose you interested." “But I am interested,” resenting his tone of assumed indifference. _“I Would not want to feel that our ac- quaintance was to wholly end now.” ‘ “Do you really mean that ?” , “Why should I’ not? You have l3e€n ia. real friend to me; I shall remember {you always with a gratitude beyond words. I want you to lmOw this, and thatâ€"that I shall ever wish to retain that friendship.” Keith struggled with himself, doubt- ful of what he had best say, swayed by unfamiliar emotions. “You may be sure I shall never for- get,” he blurted forth, desperately, “and, if you really wish it, I’ll certain- ly see you again.” “I do,” earnestly. “Then, I’ll surely find a way. I don't know now which direction we will ride, but I’m not going very far until I clear up that murder out yonder on the trail; that is my particular job just now.” Before she could answer, Mrs. Mur- phy re-entered and forced her to drink the concoction prepared, the girl ac- cepting with smiling protest. The land- lady, empty giass in hand, swept her eyes about the room. “Bedad, but the place looks betther than iver om belaved, wid the gyurl Oi’ve got tindin’ to it.

Whistler one afternoon called on a young painter of his acquaintance who did the pretty little sort of things that are popular. In the course of the con- versation that followed the young art- ist turned to a little head he was painting and. daintily balancing a square palette by one corner between two finger tips took a fine sable brush and as daintilv began to tickle a piece of bad drawing into a “sweet expres- sion,’ ’saying: “A pleasant art. ours. isn’t it. Jimmy?” “Oh,” said the young artist, “I am painting a replica of a little thing some one liked because, you know, I can al- ways sell two or three of the same subject, if it’s a taking one." “Ah!” commented Whistler, “you must be a genius, Frank, and I. alas, am like the simple minded hen who, when asked to do so, protested that she could not lay the same egg twice!” A Grave Discussion. Thefilate Joseph Jeiferson and his sister, Mrs. Cornelia Jackson, famous as Tilly Slowboy in “The Cricket on the Hearth," were standing at a studio window on Beacon street. Boston, overlooking the Old Granary burying ground. They had been discussing the famous persons whose graves were spread below them. when, breaking a short interval of silence, Jefferson said in the most mournful of tones, “Con- nie. my dear, that is the best place for me, after all,” _ “Yes," was Whistler’s response, “but What are you doing. Frank?" With a horrified expression on her face, as her brother always avoided grewsome subjects, she asked. “What do you mean. Joe?” With the twinkle in his eye that three generations of the world have known, the actor remarked blandly. “I said ‘after all,’ Connie.” In a flash his sister retorted, “No, J 0e, I dear, that’s no place for you. There are too many deadbeads there.” â€"Boston Post. What Hichens Heard. While still a student of music Rob- ert Hichens wrote many short stories, verses and songs. In one year, he says. he earned over $500 by writing scores and lyrics for music. One’song, “A Kiss and Goodby.” was sung by Mme. Patti in Albert hall, London. “In the natural pride of my heart,” Mr. Hichens said with reference to this occasion, “I took a seat in the stalls and waited in a fever of excite- ment to hear how it would go off. It was received with so much enthusias- tic applause that I was lifted into a delicious heaven of delight, but was suddenly tumbled headlong by hear- ing two voices from the seats immedi- ately behind me. “ ‘Yes,’ the other grudgingly agreed, ‘but What awful rot the words or these songs always are.’ ”â€"Exchange. “ ‘What a lovely song that was,’ one exclaimed rapturously.

Vegetables and Character. A Paris contemporary states that a well known doctor read a paper before a meeting of medical men on the in- fluence of vegetables upon the charac- ter, the brain and the senses. Accord- ing to the doctor, the potato develops an evenness of temper and calmness of thought. The carrot acts as a stimu- lant to the character and is recom- mended for biliousness and to peevish or jealous persons. Spinach develops ambitious dreams and energy. Sorrel, despite its acidity, induces sadness and provokes nightmare. All workers should eat white haricots. -â€" London Globe. A Thrifty Spouse. .

Fortunately, some provision has been made to lbrighten the lives and improve the acondition of these afflicted ones, ;though much remains to he done .to bring Ontario into line with the imore advanced states in America, and countries of Europe. For 40 lyears the Legislature of Ontario ihas maintained at Brantford a school for the education and in- struction of the blind children and youths of the province, of both ,sexes without charge for board, stuition or ‘books‘; and in that :school hundreds have been taught ito read and write, to sing and Dlay on some musical instrument, and to do some useful work, the remuneration for which suffices or assists tO'provide an independent I livelihood. Thomas Jefferson wrote that all men are endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights. including life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Henry George said in “Social Problems” that man is so constituted that it is utterly im- possible for him to attain happi- ness save by seeking the happi- ne‘s of others.

Children can be much more easily, and more thoroughly taught in the school for the blind, therefore, the Principal makes his annual appeal to readers of The Chronicle to send him the names of any children in their vicinity who are blind.
