brown hair, stood' once more before

tier tear-dimmed eyes. ' Unnumbered
times, had the bitterness of that part
ing been renewed.
"My soul, my life, I love, you!"
Harston tilted his chair legs back
against the crude, unfinished boards,
and stared meditatively out through
the open window. Hla glance Ignored
the miserable out-lying huts of the
.laboring half-breeds, passed along the
narrow dirt road, cut and seamed with
the continual repassing of the heavy
loads, and lingered above on the hill

rightly through the intervening trees,
tood the comparatively princely cot
tage of his friend and employer, Lewis
Tembertnn, promoter and engineer.
Several day ago Lewis Pemberton
bad designed to confide to bis atten
dant corps a fact that bad long since
been suggestted by the radiant shin
ing of bis eyea and his frequent out
bursts of gay, Impulsive laughter
that the young lady, back home, bad
Anally come to a favorable decision,
ud was now expected, accompanied
by her mother and several friends, to
pend a month or so in tbe crude but
hospitable shelter of her fiance's cot
tage. Pemberton bad selected three
of the boys to act as guides and gen
eral cavaliers to the ladles during off
lours Newton, Jim Howard and
young Dick Marston.
Newton and Howard had jumped at
the Invitation but Dick had shaken
lils head with finality, pleading that
lie was too busy. Pemberton had re-
SUed. "Walt till you see the girls, my
boy," and had laughed Immoderately.
, What pleasure could companion
ship with any girl be since Natalie
fad goneT At best these friends of
(Pemborton's betrothed would be col
mrkua, insipid creatures, or the usual
forward type of chattering girls. Na
'We, with her deep, grave eyes, her
tactful understanding, her unfailing
ranathy, bad spoiled him for tbe
frivolous banter of the girls whom
iNewton and Jlra Howard were now
finding so enchanting In their first en
thusiastic greetings at Pemberton'
'festive little cottage on tbe hillside.
To Marston, accompanied by hla
loneliness and sorrow, occasional peals
J girlish 'laughter mingled with
jbrolen snatches of conversation and
song, softened by the distance and
the trees, floated downward through
the night ' He closed his eyes in hope
less surrender to homesick, longing
depression. And, even now, in the
midst of gloom, seared and over
shadowed by the contrasting gayety
above, his thoughts turned to Natalie
and the days long past.
How sweet she had been! How
brave! How loyal to her cross-grained
old father, who, in a burst of un
governable rage, had forbidden Mar
ston the house and further communi
cation with bis only daughter! It was
on that never-to-be-forgotten night of
humiliation and dismay that Natalie
had explained, out under tbe stars of
the great suburban estate.
"You see, Dick, he's very old, and
mother left him to me when she died.
'Always think first of your father,'
she said, and so, Dick dear, you bad
better, go away somewhere, for I can't
possibly marry you. Go away some
where and forget."
He bad gone away, to the ends ot
the earth, it had seemed. At first, be
bad received unselfish little letters
from his far-away sweetheart, but
soon these were entirely dropped, and
his only news of her was gleaned from
the month-old newspapers from home.
But, in spite of seeming indifference
on her part, and persistent endeavor
on bis, he had in no way followed out
the Injunction of the piteous, pleading
girl: "Dick, please, Dick, forget"
Not even, after a long period ol
neglect on the part of the social sec
tion, when he had perceived this glar
ing headline, final and complete,
"Broker's Daughter Betrothed Miss
Vernon to Wed Son of British Peer,"
had he denounced the loved one.
Natalie, Natalie. Without, the
wind whispered tender things to the
towering pines, and tbe stars still
shone, unheeding and unmindful of
bis hurt. Only the guitar, sounding
mellow and deep toned, seemed In
sympathy with the throbbing tyrant,
bound fast within his breast. "My
heart, my soul, I love you."
For a long time he sat there, his
eyes closed, oblivious to his surround
ings. So completely had he been
swept onward by the ever-Increasing
current of his deep imaginings, that
when he opened his eyes again, it
seemed that a strangely familiar fig
ure stood framed within the doorway.
The rising moon from without en
haloed her soft brown hair, a heavy
cloak enfolded her; her bands reached
outward, and even In the shadows, he
saw the questioning wonder of her
eyes.
She stepped forward, trembling and
half afraid. "Dick, you haven't for
gotten? I came with Ellen Du Val,
Lewis Pemberton's fiancee. Lewis
knew from the beginning. He told
me to find you here."
The boy's chair legs were still tilt
ed carelessly against the wall, his
mud-caked boots twisted rakishly
about them, bis hands thrust deep into
his pockets. Though he had been
lounging thus for tbe last hour in
meditative abandon of despair, he did
not feel the cramped unnaturalness of
his position, nor the growing ache
across the muscles of his back, so for
getful had he been of bis physical self
in the pain of despondency.
Even now, confronted by the en
trancing little figure, be did not move
a muscle, so assured was he that it
was but tbe embodiment of his dreams
before him. Surely, If he quivered a
fraction of an inch, the silvery shim
mering of the moon-crowned bead
would vanish utterly into the fathom
less nowhere whence it had so sud
denly arisen Dreams are good. He
would go on dreaming.
"Dick, you don't understand. Tou
see father father " The voice fal
tered, then continued brokenly.
"Father died and there Is no one to
care now. I thought that you might
still want me, Dick, and so I came."
He managed to stammer, as one
addressing a pleasantly shimmering
but utterly impractical delusion. "Tbe
Englishman!"
She laughed, "Dick, foolish Dick, It
was only a rumor! Surely you never
believed!" '
He stood then, bis arms stretched
outward in a great longing for pos
session, and she found ber way to
them.
Without a voice was, raised, sweet
toned, melodious,
"My soul, my life, I love you."
New Wrinkles.
An Irishman desired to become nat

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS
for Those Planning Seasonable
Entertainments
For Hallowe'en,
From the voluminous correspondence
which has poured into the office re
garding "Hallowe'en" It would seem
that every reader, old and young, rich
or poor, intended to celebrate on this
most fascinating festival day. Madame
Merrl sincerely hopes that there has
been something In the departments to
suit the needs of all.
Here Is a very simple method of de
termining one's future partner In life.
It Is called the "yarn" test:
At tbe stroke of midnight the girls
must all go upstairs, the men remain
ing in the hall below. Then each maid
In turn drops a ball of light yarn over
tbe banisters. Of course, she must
hold tightly to one end of the yarn and
remain unseen when she throws it
down.
The men scramble for the ball, and
the one who gets It, when the yarn is
drawn taut by the girl above, must re
ply by giving his true name when the
unseen holder says "who holds?"
If he recognizes her voice, so much
In their favor; if the girl drops the end
she holds, she will remain unmarried;
If tho yarn breaks she will not marry
any ot the men present on this occa
sion. This test is always sure to provide
a happy ending to the party, and it Is
also a means of pairing the guests for
refreshments or for any game where it
is necessary to choose partners.
A Superstition Party.
A ladder was put up on the front
porch so all would have to pass under
It to enter the house. All the black
cats in the neighborhood were bor
rowed for the occasion and salt was
spilled in front of each plate at the
table. The party was on Friday, on the
thirteenth day of the month, and each
guest was asked to tell his favorite
superstition. The favors were scissors,
knives and tiny purses without the pro
verbial "lucky cent." Tne result of this
party was that no one died within the
year, all remained good friends, and,
in spite of the looking glass which the
hostess shattered Just before going In
the dining room, none had bad luck.
This affair could be combined with
Hallowe'en stunts and make a Jolly
time for tomorrow night or during the
week, when fads and fancies pertain
ing to the mystical day are in order.
Quotations for Hallowe'en.
In the way of quotations for place
cards tbe hostess has a store of riches
from which to draw by consulting
Shakespeare or Burns. A few apt sen
timents are given:
Fortune Is merry,
And In this mood will give us anything.
This day we fashion Dantlny, our web
of Fat we spin.
There swims no goose so Bray
Rut aooii or late
She flmla Some honest gander
For her mate.
The Iron tongue of midnight hath told
twelve.
When the Btars shoot,
And the owls hoot.
And bnts fly In und out,
When the fire burns blue.
And the candle, too.
Witches are about
Double, double, toll and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fresh dawning Hallow Eve!
Sweet, new-old Hallow Eve!
For what thou wert, for what thou art
Thrice welcome. Hallow Eve!
Telling Fortunes.
Fortunes may be told by the tradi
tional "three bowls." Place three
bowls, or saucers (as they are more
convenient), on a table, one filled with
water, one with, milk and the other
empty. Each maiden is then blindfold
ed, turned around three times and
started In the direction ot the bowls.
If she dtps her finger In the water, she
will marry a bachelor, if In tbe milk
her husband will be a widower, wbllo
If her finger touches the empty dish
she Is fated to remain single. After
each one makes the test the order ot
the bowls must be changed so as to
prevent those who watch from know
ing which Is which.
The Egg Fortune.
The correspondent who asks for a
new Hallowe'en fortune test may find
the following suitable for her purpose:
For this potent formula for peering
Into the future an absolutely new laid
egg Is necessary. Drop the white only
Into a glass 01 cold water. A clever
seer will then foretell the future from
the queer shapes which the albumen
assumes.

INEBRIATE IS DEAD WEIGHT
Progress Is Pushing Drunkard to One
Side With Relentless Force Old
Order Was Kind.
If conditions 60, 70 or 80 years ago
were considered, the decrease shown
in Inebriety would be most striking,
one drunkard being found in a thou
sand where formerly there were prob
ably 20 or 30. In the early days of
the republic, whisky was an article of
wide consumption, made so because
it was the only alcoholic stimulant eas
ily obtainable at a distance from the
sea coast, and because large quanti
ties of grain could be profitably con
verted Into liquor In the Interior communities.
Economic causes have operated pow
erfully to diminish hard drinking. Fif
ty or 60 years ago there were thou-
sands of communities in which profes
sional men could drink to excess with
out suffering in public opinion. Now
Buc'h offenders would quickly lose their
standing, and not only professional .,
men, but workers in all the trades,
especially those In which machinery
Is employed, are obliged to keep sober
In order to hold their places. The In
ebriate Is a dead weight in modern
society, Bays New York Tribune. The
older order was more than kind to
him, but the newer Is relentless. The
younger generation has accurate views
on that point, and the proportion of
young men handicapping themselves
with drinking habits Is becoming small
er every year. Young men nowadays
are too Intent on other things to be
greatly attracted br the cheap lure of
dissipation.
All progress In the past half cen
tury has helped the cause ot modera
tion. Legislation has been appealed
to both to end the sale of liquors and
to regulate it. But economic and ed
ucational pressure has, done more than
legislation to put a rigorous ban on
Inebriety.
THEY ARE SOBER ENGINEERS
Stringent Rules Against Drunkenness
Enforced by Brotherhood One
Notable Example.
It is safe to say that no other union,
club or organization of any sort ap
plies quite such heroic treatment to
undesirable citizens as the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers. One
thing that the brotherhood most
strenuously Insists upon is that its
members shall not drink. Thirty-five
members were expelled for getting
drunk In 1909, and their shame was
publicly proclaimed In the Journal.
Tbe treatment does not stop here by
any means. The brotherhood will not
risk the lives of its members and the
general public by permitting a drink
ing man to run an engine, writes
Charles Frederick Carter in Century.
When a man has been duly convicted
of drinking and punished according to
the laws of the order, the facts are
laid before the proper authorities on
the road that employs htm, and hla
discharge is demanded. In one no
table Instance the engineer of a fast
train got drunk during his layover and
disgraced himself. He was tried, con
victed and expelled, the management
was Informed, and the offender's dis
charge requested in regular form. But
as the engineer had been a good man,
the railroad company demurred, say
ing that he had not been drunk while
on duty.
"But," sold the brotherhood, "there
Is no telling when a man who gets
drunk off duty may take a notion to
get drunk on duty, and we do not In
tend to take any chances on having a
drunken man tearing through the
country at sixty miles nn hour, endan
gering the lives of others. It Is un
fair both to the efployees in your serv
ice and to your patrons."
The culprit was discharged. 'He
can never be employed on a ratVoad
again.
PASSION FOR GIN DRINKING
Historian Lacky Says Liquor Never
Ceased to Be Counteracting In
fluence on Morals.
In his "England in the ISth Cen
tury," Lacky, the historian, says that
about 1724 the passion for gin drink
ing affected the masses and It spread
with the rapidity and violence of an
epidemic. "Small as Is the place which
this fact occupies In English hlstpry,
It was probably, If we consider all
the consequences which have flowed
from it, the most momentous In the
eighteenth century Incomparably
more so than any event in the purely
political or military annals of the
country. The fatal passion for drink
was at once and Irrevocably plnnted
In tbe nation. Physicians declared
that in excessive gin drinking a new
and terrible source of mortality hnd
been opened for the poor. Retailers
of gin hung out signs that tbelr cus
tomers could be made drunk for a pen
ny and dead drunk for two pence, and
that straw was provided free." The
latter referred to the custom of hav
ing straw In tbe cellars on which
those who had grown too drunk to get
home could Bleep oft their potations.
He goes on to say that, "from the
early years of tbe 18th century gin
drinking has never ceased to be the
mnin counteracting Influence to the
moral, intellectual and physical bene
fits that might be expected from In
crease commercial prosperity."
