SHE looked up quickly, startled by lila unexpected announcement. "Coins awny? To Mexico? Six months?" she cried, repeating frag ments of the one brief sentence In which he had told her of his purpose. "I I didn't know you were going ftWay." "No tnoro did I, till an hour and a half ago. Hut when one's nnother mun'B man, or a company's man, he never Is certain where tomorrow will find him." "What does It nil mean? I suppose it's because you're a mining engineer?" "It's because I have t educated the company Into believing I'm a mining expert," he smiled. He rested an elbow upon the muntel against which he leaned, and dropped his head into his .widespread hand. "You know our com pany controls two or three mines In Mexico, and In Mexico sudden death now and then strikes a man. It struck the manager of one of these mines this morning; a couple of dissatisfied Greas ers, employed about the mines acted rts death's agents, as near as I can learn. The company received a telegram about the affair a couple of hours ago, and decided at once to send me down to ' take charge of the mine for the pres ent. I shall have to stay six months. The president promised me a little va cation then, during which I can come back North. But I may have to return again." All this he said easily and calmly enough tome of It even lightly. But now his voice suddenly grew soft and took on a deeper meaning, and he raised his head from his hand and leaned forward. "As soon as they told me I had to go I knew there was one thing I would have to do before I could leave see you. I could not make arrangements and come to you both, for my first through train for the southwest was due in three hours. So I left all the arrangements to them and hurried from the ofllce; they are to send a note to me here telling me what they've done and here I am." He broke off abruptly, was silent dur ing the time it took him to draw several quick breaths, and then burst out tensely: "And you know why I have come." "How lonely you will be down there," she murmured, hurriedly and lllogically. Her eyes had several minutes since dropped fiom his face to the rug be neath his feet. He caught her up eagerly. "That's just It; how lonely I'll be down there!" He was beside her chair In a step, bending low over her and talking rap idly. "I did not mean to tell you of my love so soon. You have known me only a few months, and I wanted you to know me thoroughly before I asked you to give yourself to me to let me give myself to you. But when I learned two hours ago that I would not see you again for months and months, T was struck cold with the thought of the lonely life before inc, and I felt 1 could not leave without telling you how much I care and learning whether you care for me. Think how much your love will mean to me when I am down there all by myself!1 If you love mo we'll be married when I come back in six months if you will. Do you not care for me, dear?" With each eager word his head had sunk lower and lower, until, when ho ventured the "dear," his face was but a few inches from her own, and she felt his warm breath in her hair. What he had said hud set her heart to throb bing wildly, and the answer he desired quivered on her lips. But there is an Imp of perversity that sometimes lays hold of a woman and forces her to an action directly opposite to the one she Intends.. Only in his existence can be found an explanation for the laugh that came from Miss Thome's lips at this tense moment. He shrank back as though from a deadly danger, and his face whitened to the color of paper. Ho stared down at her, dazed, pained, too sick at heart for the Instant to feel anger. With her face in her hands she sat appalled by the enormity of her in voluntary act. For a minute she could not move, but when bho heard his cold and controlled words, "I did not know I meant that little to you," she sprang to her feet. "No! No!" bho cried. "I did not mean that!" But before she coulfl explain, before he could bee that she meant to explain, bor opportunity for an explanation was at an end. At this Instance a maid nppeared in the doorway. "Mr. Garrison Is below," she said; and before Mlbs Thorne could make reply of any sort Mr. Garrison himself appeared besido the maid. "I took the liberty of following my own card up," ho announced, and ho entered with tho easy nssurance of a man who has been received so often that he Is certain of his welcome. Ho bowed toward Mlhs Thorno, and gave a less deep Inclination In Wado's direc tion. Though down In her heart Miss Thorno resented tho appearance of Mr. Garrison, yet In It she found a tempor ary relief from tho painful situation caused by her Involuntary laugh, and she went toward him wlh right hand outstretched and with, a smile on her face. "I'm very glad to bee you," she said. Wade, with a hope In his breast that hud just met violent death, stiffened visibly at this reception accorded the man whom report had for his rival. Ha added together Garrison's welcome and the laughter with which his avowal of lovo hud been received. Tho result was as obvious as tho sum of one and two. Her heart was in the keeping of this other man, , There was within Wade too great an emotional tumult for him to give any heed to tho conversation that followed. His great desire was to receive tho earliest opportunity to escape without making his retirement seem too much like retreat. So U was that the en trance of the maid with the expected note was to him a relief signal. Ho glapced the letter through hur riedly, then turned to Miss Thorne and Mr, Garrison; "The office boy who brought this Is waiting at the d?or; I'll Just tell him what to say In reply. Excuse me for a couple of minutes." Tho Instant he was gone, Garrison turned quickly to Miss Thorne, "I can guess what ho has been saylnjf fo you, yjw eyes of love can always see such things. Since he hus told you of his love, I niua'Mell you of mine before you ' glvo him his answer. 1 can not lose you without at least telling you how much 1 care. I will try my best to make you happy. Won't yoU'glvo mo a 'yes' before he comes back? It's such a little word." At tho end he possessed himself of her hands, and she, almost taken off her feet with tho rapid, eager flow of his words, was too dazed to make re sistance. But, at the sound of a voice behind her, she freed her hands with a Jerk. "I beg your pardon," were the words she had heard, nnd she turned about to find Wndo In the doorway gazing at them with cold, bright eyes. "I did not mean to Interrupt," he said with a bit of sarcasm In his voice, for the sight of tjielr clasped hands had been to him more proof, when more proof was not deeded. "I merely come back to say good-bye." "You are going?" She took one hesi tating step toward htm. He bowed coldly. "I wanted to see you for a moment. There was something something I wanted to say," she said, almost ln audlbly. "I believe all has been said." His voice was as cold as his bow had been. "Good-bye." She turned up to him a white, drawn face, with trembling lips, and barely touched with her own the hand he of fered. "You arc going to be away some time,?" Garrison asked with the easy air of one who thinks a victory rests with him. "I had thought of being away six months. But I have been offered the managership of a big mine, and I shall remain permanently. The word "permanently" chilled her heart. In a minutes he would be gone forever. She drew herself up with a sudden, despairing resolve as he was turning fo leave them and addressed Garrison, though her flushed face was directed at Wade. "No, he is not; he is mistaken," she said, bravely. "You are an old friend, so you shall be the first to know this. He is coming back again. He is com ing back In six months." She moved close up to Wade and slipped a hand through his arm, with out, however, taking her tear-bright eyes .from his face; and her voice sank to a tremulous whisper: "Ho is com ing back to marry me."

There Is an increasing demand for pig iron, and the shortage is becoming pronounced. Importations of Scotch and English iron are now being made at the rate of 1,090 tons a day. Rogers, Brown & Co., reviewing the situation, say: "The country seems to be just adjust ing Itself to the breadth and genuine character of tho great revival in iron and steel. The theory that it was ab. normal, because it was too great, and must soon collapse because great mar kets have collapsed in the past, has prevailed until recently. Each week that passes with a still brondcr market and still firmer prices and new work of every kind, Increases the number o thobe who believe that the revival Is not ephemeral but lasting. The great work of construction and reconstruction In the country, instead of being over, has scarcely begun. "Barring unexpected calamities, the iron-producing capacity of America, far from being over-developed, will have all it can do to keep pace with the coun try's legitimate demand. Great Incon venience has been caused to the fur naces in Pennsylvania nnd Ohio, owing to the coal strike. Ohio Iron, owing to the impossibility of obtaining coke at the furnaces, has practically di&ap peared from tho market. Prices for next year's delivery range from ?20 to $21 at the furnaces."

In fairyland everything is possible. There arc wonderful jewels and stores of silver and gold o reward virtue and valor. There are, too, magical herbs which heal the sorest wounds and cure the deadliest diseases. How many a woman looks back' with a sigh to the childish days she spent in fairyland before she ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge and was driven out by the cold sharp sword of fact into a world of suffering and disease. Yet while there are no' magical herbs in this everyday world, which cure all diseases, there is a cure for womanly diseases which hardly ever fails. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will in ninety-eight cases out of every hundred perfectly and permanently cure diseases which are peculiarly womanly. ' Tens of thousands of women testify to the truth of this statement. "I suffered for five years with inflammation which caused violent pain and often torture so bad at times that I could not be about to attend to my daily duties," writes Mrs. Julius C. Bell, Bathroad, Kingston, Out. "Life was simply misery to me and I did not know which way to turn for relief. Had tried doctors but found they did not help me. My druggist advised me to try Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. I decided to give it a trial and I am happy to say that after the use of the first bottle I felt so much improved I decided to take another and after that a third bottle. I am to-day a well woman, I have perfect health thanks to your medicine."
