MILVAIN rat spinning jj J at her cottage door 0110 o llI O evening iu early summer. Jj Jfs Now nnd again she looked fOf with sad ryo on her gar nn bloom, for flowers were almost nil of sweetness aud Joy In life left to her now. Her life lmd been sorrow nil through: 'now, when she began to hope she might lie within a measurable distance of the end. ou acquiescence nl,d ft peace had come to he:- unknown hitherto In her ktorniy life. Something nkln to pleas ure she felt nt the growing nnd the Itlirlvliig of her flowers, watching the mail shoots working through tho fcronnd and the gradual unfolding cf i.tif niwi liiiil ta flowor. Knell nlnnt was E nursling, each separate plot the re nit of work nnd economy. And Sylvia lilrnln often thanked Ood that, though nearly all of earth's goods lincl been taken from her, still enough hail been left to make one little garden lenuhfui. Her cottage, too, expressed icrself; she hnil only three rooms, hut liese were delicate nnd dainty, though ier sitting room was but n collage Itclieu nnd the walls of her little, bed linniber were whitewashed. Still, a woman must have something love, nnu pyivia, wno nan nntl dies with sorrow, now accepted pov- rty with peace. A man walked through the woods hloh surrounded the tiny cottage. nil came straight up to the wooden :ite, and looked down the flagged path ctn-ecn Its candytuft nnd Ivy leafed cranium, to where the fair woman sat t her spinning wheel. For fair she ivas, though youth Had long left her. ut age had forgotten her, being merel- ul to sonic; for age has Its favorites. nd Sylvia was one. She was dressed kc a Quakeress rather than n peasant, i a plain, straight, gray gown: ft lilte Helm, folded, showed a white mild neck. Her face was absolutely lilte, except for her mouth, which ad not lost the red of her girlhood, ml the eyes were calm and large and iay. with eyelashes curling up to- ard the level brows. All this the man noted ns he stood itli his hand on tne latch, ami the enderness of her figure nnd of her mis nnd wrists, as she paused lu her ihinlng to look nt iiim. Ho waited sir her to speak, and she, being a lone- woman In n cottage, perhaps had fcnio momentary thrill of fear nt bis iproach. Rut he was old, she thought: nnd she tiw that ho was tired, nnd It was a bug way to the nearest village, so Mrs. ilvain spoke. "Do you wont to find Westford Lees? Is nearly n mile from here." 'I am very tired," he said simply. kid leaned with his arms on the gnr pn gate. He seemed to breathe in the sweet- m and beauty of tne garden, und Milvaln waited, wondering wheth- to bid him come In nnd rest, for was n very tired nud worn way- or, and she saw on his seamed own faee the marks of much toll and ny sorrows. Whilo Sylvia Milvaln ked as If she could never crow old. wayfarer looked as If he had never n young. Will you come and rest here?" she il, nnd went herself to open her ', and he followed rs In a dream, he, going on before, could not 'see expression of his face surprise ceeding rapture, and rapture nnx- .

It was all set out daintily; the old Eng lish ware, the lacquer tea trny, the cut glass Jug of milk, the old curved handled knives, the yellow butter In Its glass dish, the uncut loaf, tho honeycomb. The evening sun camf through the unshaded window, nnd lit up her pretty cottage room. She rose and drew the curtain, so that the light should not dazzle his t'rel eyes. All the whlio he watched her eagerly and wondering; and she poured out the ten, nnd waited on him In her beautiful uiiconveiitlonalliy. "He was n stranger, nnd she took him In" that was enough for her, "May I rest here for a while?" he said, when the shadows lengthened and the little maid came In nud set the room In order. "Oh, yes," she said, unfalteringly, for n strange fancy had rl--en in her heart and drew her to the stranger. "Will you go on spinning? It Is a rest to mo to watch you. So few women spin now.'- "It was my grandmother's spinning wheel. She taught me to spin when I was n child. Have you no home?" she asked. "None. I am a wanderer on the face of the earth; but not like Cain, through crime, but benuce early In my life I lost nil hope of a home; the woman I loved married." Mrs. Mllvnin's eyelashes quivered, but she did not look up from her spinning. "Could you not find Another woman to make n home?" "I am one o" those natures so con stituted that they only love once, never again, nnd for nlways." He snoke very quietly and emphatic ally. Little Margaret, the maid, com ing In, Sylvia bnde her take lu-r sew ing to the porch. Margaret may have wondered at her mistress choosing to fit alone with a wayfaring man; but, ns she expressed It to her mother afterward, "lie looked like one of the gentlefolk dressed up for a plr.y." By which sha meant some tableaux given nt the castle the pre vious Chrlstmns tableaux In which the beautiful nnd mysterious Mrs. Milvaln had been urged to take n part. The part chosen for her lulu been Evan gellne, meeting after long years the dying lover of her youth. "I am too old and too sad to net In tableaux," she had said, "ond perhaps my womanly vanity resents the part of Evangeline lu her later days." This she told the wayfarer. "Evangeline ah, that wns Long fellow's poem! I ivmember I admired It In the past the long past. I sup pose we nil have our Ideals: Evangeline wns my ideal of the beautiful rurliau maiden." A little sketch of the girl's head In water colors was hanging between the windows, her loope, nsh brown, wavy hair parted on her forehead under n Puritan cap, her grave, gracious eyes looking out with a steadfast wlstful i:ess under the level brows. In one enrner was written "Sylvia," and n date of thirty years ago. Sylvia saw tho wayfarer's eyes glance from the picture to herself. "I wonder if you would have recog nized it." she said, "If you had known ino all those yenrs ngo?" "You are very Utile changed," he said; nnd then, after n paute, "from that picture." "Thirty years must make some differ ence," Mrs. Milvniu answered, but without coquetry merely ns stating a melancholy but inevitable fact. "Time has its favorites its spoiled children," ho onswered quietly. And still her delicate fingers held the spinning thread, and her foot trod the spinning pednl, nud he, lying bnck against a cushion, wondered whether earth would ever again show him so fair nud restful a picture. The daylight faded, and she became n shadowy figure ngnlnst the window. The last sunbeam had lit her hair with a good night kiss. Margaret came lu and threw logs on tho fire, nud still tho wayfarer lingered, nnd still Sylvia gave him no hint that she was weary of him. And a great silence fell. Per haps she thought he slept. The clock struck, and still he sat here, nnd she spun lu the twilight. At last she roso and canio near to him. He was nsleep. She bent over him nnd scanned his worn features with a sort of tender scrutiny, but her expression was enig matical. Then she lifted the lock of gray hair lying loosely across his fore bend, nnd saw n. senr about the she of her own little finger; then she sighed nud Fmiled. And presently ho woke with a start. "I beg your forgiveness," he said, courteously, "for having slept lu your presence." I forgive, she answered. "Mean while, yon will stay nnd have supper with me? l'.est here." Ho wns surprised nt n new friendli ness nnd alacrity In her ninuucr. Her nlmost haughty graelctiMiess had al tered during his sleep. When she had left hi in nnd bade Margaret pi-epnre tho supper.hls hand stole furtively to the little volume of Keats In tho bookcase by his chair. In t!r beginning wrs written, "Sylvia from Stephen.", The date was thirty years age. Below It was .written "Sylvia Milvaln." They spoke very little at supper; each seemed to be silently watching the other. Af terward, ns she prepared some coffee, he nsked abruptly: "Where Is your husband?" "He died long ago." she answered, with somo reserve of manner, "very long ago. And you where Is 'your wife?" "I have no wife. I have never mar vied." "Ah:" "But you married, and had a ion?" "Yes, but I had to marry, because well. I suppose you kuow the old story of ISoblu Gray?" "I have read it," be (aid, "but was your husband a Itohln Gray?" "He wag not," she said. "But bo Is dead." "And did Jamlo never come back?" Her face wns turned away from htm. nod ns burning 19s fell with a clutter on the henrlli in; could not guess If the had heard his question. He looked at her slender waist, the delicately set head, and tho coll of soft, ash brown linlr. Her fair, slight hands were busy nt her household work, but they were white, nnd over her wedding ring shone a little gold serpent ring, whose diamond eyes sparkled in the firelight. He did not repeat his question Juct then. "Shall I tell you," he said, "why I been me n wanderer on the face of the earth?" She sat down quietly opposite him, her folded hands on her lap. The night ingale sang loudly and pnsslonately: the moonlight flooded tho little room through the still open window. "When I was n boy a wild, head strong boy. If you will, but with 11 strong, loving heart I loved one of the sweetest women who ever wnlkcd the earth. She was scarcely a woman a girl, almost 11 child an angel," Sylvia smiled. "And she loved me, or said she did: and then, and then Why revive these old memories?" "Perhaps," she said, softly, "It Is bet ter to revive them. There may have been some Injustice done. In thought, to some one, which might at last be righted." "It could never be righted now," he said. "It Is so long ngo nearly thirty yenrs." "What Is thirty years In eternity'" she said. "An unconsidered moment." "She. the woman or sliall I call her the child? I loved, ruined my life without nn explanation, without even n warning. I had gone to London to look for work. I had nlmost the prom ise of ft situation In nn otllce, a salary on which wo might have married for she wns nlways, even then, thrifty nnd housewifely in her sweet ways when I heard from her just these words: " 'Forgive me. For reasons I can never explain we can never marry. I am going to marry (here uho gave the name) next week.' " Sylvia's voice sounded small and very faint as she said: "Was that all? Didn't she even send her love? Didn't she toll you that she should always remember your love for her and hers for you?" "She did," he said. "How well you understand women!" "Not nil women, but perhaps this one." "There wns nothing for me to do," he said. "All was Inevitable. I went away. She would uot see me. She gave no explanation none. My father died suddenly. Her father had urged her to marry. My mother wns dead. What was left for me? I went away. I could not forget her; I shall never forget her. When I mil dead. If my body were opened, her name would be found written on my heart." "Was she sj beautiful?" Sylvia asked, aud In the agitation of that mo ment the femininity cf the question passed unheeded. "She was herself." he said, "the woman Ood had made for me, aud she rejected me." "You do uot know nil," she said. "Perhaps If you knew all, you would be merciful." "I was never less than merciful to her, God bless her!" "Perhaps you have never heard that her father forged a man's name for u great sum, and that the man refrained from prosecution on condition of the daughter marrying hkn." The wayfarer started from his chair. "Was that the reason? Oh, my Godi And did she think so poorly of her lover?" "She thought of her father's and hoi mother's name," Sylvia said quietly, though her white face flushed n. rosy red nnd her hands grasped the urms of her chair. "She knew that, great ns love is, honor is greater. Therefore, she knew that she must save her father's- name und lose her own. She knew that she must lose tho whole world, which was her love, to save her soul, her honor, to save her father's. She knew that she must let the man she loved, the man whom she had loved all her life, whom she had played with and quarrelled with since they were both babies, look on her nil the rest of her life ns a vllo coquette und 0 jilt. She must send him forth with his faith in womanhood ruined, to seek such comfort ns she could never give, mined by her father; married to a nnu old in sin, ond who only .slred her for her youth nnd whnt men cnli"i' beauty; nnd be despised by th mar sin loved, end l:e bUent for honor-? sake." Sylvia's tenrs ran over h?r cheak? nnd silll Ui9 wayfarer uaver spoke. "She nc'opted her lot. The man slit loved went away, she. does not know where, believing her i'aise: and the mail she married made her life a tragedy she dares not let herself think of. Aud then come ruin. She wag glad whci' ruin cume. She could work with hot own hands for the little son; she loved the child. Aud the man he lost every, tiling health, strength, nud nil worldly foods, atd she nursed him till In died. She knew tho price he had paid fot her, nud she would tliillll the bargain to tho uttermost farthing and It was the uttermost farthing." Thcro was deep silence lu th3 little room. Very gently the wayfarer rore from his chair, nnd ho stood before Sylvia, looking nt tho lovely faee lovely still, though the sorrows of many yeari shadowed tho eyes and hollowed the delicate cheeks. "And now he knows all," he said. Sylvia rose aud put her hands Into his. "Did yon kcow nt once?" she asked. "At ouce, my love, at once. And you?" Kylvln smiled. . "Even now I can keep secrets."

Arizona's Rangers A Picturesque Body AOK HE opponents of Arizona's j( )( statehood claims who have O .1 O made n point against the Jj Territory as the home of "WOKST the "bad mau," the bandit, the trnln robber and the cattle rustler, have evidently not kept posted ou the work of the Arizona rangers. This most daring and picturesque body of mounted police In the world has literally "cleaned out" Arizona's rough element, a statement that means a great deal In view of the fact that the Territory has always held more than Its shnre of tho law -defying swagger ers nnd rufilnns who have gone under the descriptive name of "bad men." This work has not been accomplished without loss. Several of the rangers have been severely wounded, nnd two of them have been killed lu combat with desperadoes. But for every ran ger killed or wounded many lawbreak ers have bitten the dust or have been brought to Justice. The ranks of the rangers have always been kept with out a gap. ns there nre plenty of deter mined men willing to step Into tho chnrmed circle of twelve for the ran gers have never Increased beyond thut number. Thanks to the rangers, cattle rust ling is getting to be n thing of the past In Arizona. Two years ngo the largest rattle owners In the Territory were thinking seriously of seeking oilier ranges. Cattle rustlers, recruited from the ranks of Mormons. Gentiles and Mexicans, preyed upon flocks ami herds. No man's sheep or cattle were safe from 'the deprodatious of the law less. Local authorities were powerless. The cattle thieves lu many Instances worked in organized bands. They would descend on n range, drive off the cattle or sheep, nnd have the stock disposed of liefore n posse could be put on their trail. Many ranchmen were In collusion with the desperadoes, some of them being frightened Into an alli ance with criminals. But the people of Arizona began tc bestir themselves In earliest, nnd soon things took a different turn. The Ari zona rangers sprang Into existence. Burton W. Mossman. of Bisbee, the first captain, was chosen because of his known coolness nnd his skill with tho revolver. Eleven men were put under his command aud eleven nre under the command of the captain to day. The force is never enlarged, but when n member Is killed another quickly steps into his place. These twelve men represent the finest typo of fighters In the world. It Is tho same type that composed such n large cle ment lu Roosevelt's Rough Riders, and that gained the admiration of the for eign representatives on the field lu Cuba during the Spanish war. Every member of the Arizona ran gers Is nn expert shot with the rifle or revolver. He has had experience on tho cattle range, and knows how to use tho lariat that hangs at his saddle. He knows the strength nnd weakness of every criminal In the Southwest, nnd he is even too ready to meet Hie most dreaded outlaws, even though the rulds be all ngnlnst him. Every ranger Is nlways nrmed nnd ready for cmer genclcs. He is nlways In touch with his chief, nnd nlways ready to carry the law Into any part of the chaparral with the rifle. A crime is reported. from a horse stealing to n stage rob ?jery, nnd the rangers promptly hurry to the scene1 tor such of them ns are available. They never leave the trail until they have something definite to report. Unless ft ranger Is too far from civilization to do so he Is expected to send In n report to Governor Brodle every week. A sample report from one of these brave and modest troopers is as follows: "From first to third. left Clifton nnd scouted toward Snn Francisco River. Arrested Mexican at Rattlesnake gulch, turned over to nuthorlties nt Clifton. Vent out after Jose .Tacou, murderer. Killed resisting arrest." Hardly less laconic Is the report of Captain Mossman concerning his cap ture of Bert Alvord, the notorious train robber, and Augustin Chacon, better known ns "Pelelo," n notorious Mexi can bandit, who innuguratod 11 reign of bloodshed iu the Southwest. Cha con's career In Arizona nnd in Mexico will be tnlked of ns long ns the career of "Billy the Kid." After the organi zation of his band of cutthroats people living In the mining camps of the Clif ton mountains did uot dare to travel Into the fastnesses. With the utmost boldness he rode through Ceutrnl and Northern Arizona, holding up gamb ling houses In Jerome, robbing a stage coach en route to Agua Frio, near Phoenix, and returning to Clifton in a trail of blood. The gang killed two hunters lu the Bonltu mountains with out any npparent object. Friends who fouud the bones of these men a month luter returned In desperation, for Cha con himself appeared before them and announced that In the future travelers would not be permitted to so much as bury their dead In thi'se mountains. Chacon had a record of killing twenty-eight persons, and doubtless this rec ord would be larger If all his victims were known. The capture or deuth ol this bandit was demanded by the peo ple of Arizona nud was one of Captain Mossman's first expeditions. The cap tain learned that Chacon had gone to Mexico with Alvord. who had heid up the Southern Pacific train at Cochise. Alvord was tired of lying out In the bush nud wanted to surrender, but con cluded to betray Chacon. Captuln Mossman Induced Alvord to cross tho line with the Mwxlc.m. Chacon came with htm, ostensibly to steal a bunch of horses, and Mossman, learning thr.t his mau was In nn adobe house near the Mexican Hue, entered alone, caught the bandit off his guard, compelled him to give up bis weapons aud turned hlui over to the authorities. Chacon wns legally hanged, to the delight of the en tire Southwest, but It Is with difficulty that tho modest Mossimiu can he In duced to talk of his part In bringing the bandit to Justice.

It has always been Mossmsn'si policy to keep the rustlers nud des-' pcradoes on the Jump and to arrest suspects on general principles. I'n nlng is quieter, though not less effect ive. Mossman was for years foreman of the Aztec Cattle Company, owning. 40,OiH head of cattle near II ul brook, Atiz. Mossman's early experiences In ths cattle business have made him an ex pert rider nnd roper, nnd his fents will the revolver nre the tnlk of the south west. As n man hunter he Is relent less, and on the trail he knows no such thing us fatigue. To see the inni in Phoenix or Bisbie, dressed in what he terms his "store clothes," and with n flower In his lapel, one would nevct pick him out as an Individual to strlk terror to the heart of a desperado. But ll Is a fact, nevertheless, that this man, both through bis own prowess and through his wonderfully effective organization of the rangers, is held In, more dread than any man since th active days of Pat Garrett, the captor of "Billy the Kid." President Diaz of Mexico has cn- operated with the governor of Arizon.-t lu stamping out the reign of outlawry cn the border. Colonel Kostcrlisky and his famous compauy of rurule have patrolled the bonier on the Mex ican side with a vigor and skill that is second only to the work of the Ari::on.-i rangers. Americans and Mexicans fre quently piis'h their tents together whii on scouting doty. Several times de tails of rangers have crossed the linn lu hot pursuit of criminals fleeing for Mexico. Colonel Kosterllsky ami hi troop once invaded the United Slates In ;i similar manner, but no questions have ever been asked nnd no red tapo formalities have ever been demanded. The dilllcnlty of operating against these southwestern outlaws may be imagined when it Is known how thor oughly organized the desperadoes have been In recent years. The gangs have spies In miuing and cattle camps who keep them well posted on the move ments of the authorities. When th alarm Is given the bandits retire tn rendezvous In the most Inaccessible parts of the mountains. Some of these- hiding places are veritable fortresses which are well stocked with arm and provisions. Until the rangers wer organized the desperadoes practically ruled Arizona, as they could not b successfully hunted down after their raids. But the work of Mossman ami Kyuni'ig and their men has completely battled the desperadoes.
