Presently the whistle tooleil hoarsely. There was a ju'lndiii). of sei brakes, and the train slowed down and came to a stop before a bare little stn tlon, a derelict seemingly in this leve waste. Tancred rose rather unwillingly fron his comfortable chair and. preceded bj the obsequious porter bearing hi> heavy suit case, stepped from the lim ite<l onto the uneven board platforn of Yellow Flat station. He looket übout him, and his heart sank Th» porter beside hltu seemed to hiui th< representative of a Civilization thai would depart when the limited pulled out. So Tancred gave the porter a hall dollar and stood watching the receding train with a feeling that he had been marooned. There was one consolation, however. He could finish up the business which had brought him hither in a day or two and quit this desolation. A weelf of this flat nothingness he felt would drive him mad. He sought the station agent and Inquired of him the best way to reach Tapley's ranch. The agent hailed a nondescript individual address,-d as Jock, who was loafing on the benches, and asked him what h« couid do for this gentleman, who want ed to get to Tapley's. "Old man Tapley at the 4X?" said Jock. "Sure: Drop you there on mj way to the Crescent." He led the way to a vehicle outside, half wagon, hall buckboard "Hop In."he said hospit ably Jock clucked to his team, and they Jolted over the brown plains behind a pair of ptebaVi ponies whose chief ac complishment seemed to lie In whisk ing their tails over the lines and run ning like mad.

He fell to wondering what sort of a girl this niece of Tapley's was like. Probably she was old and more or less of a barbarian or perhaps she was the •ort who would say. "Oh. ain't that lovely!" when he told her his late cli ent. the Hon. Peter Chlsholm, had left her a fortune that had been the envy of many scheming women in the cycle of the uumarried Peter's acquaintance. Jock here beside him could probably enlighten him as to Miss Parsons, but It was scarcely worth while. She was Mine quite Impossible person no doubt. He handed Jock a cigar and put the whole thing from his mind. It was gray twilight when they drove op to the ranch bouse at the 4X. Tan cred alighted and was warmly wel comed by Tapley. "I don't care a snap of my fingers what business It Is that has brought you," he said to Tancred. "You're to stay Just as long as you can stand It with us, and a little longer If you have any charity for isolated old chaps like myself," he added hospitably. "A man In touch with things In the east is a godsend, sir. Supper will be ready shortly, and meanwhile (iertrude shall give you some tea. Pardon me a mo ment. and I'll hunt her up." The roonj they had entered evidently served as a library. Books lined the walls, teriptlng chairs offered their comfort. - I rugs covered the polished floor It was quiet and In excellent taste. Tain red's misgivings about the lady were somewhat mitigated At that moment Tapley returne'l "Mr. Tancred." he said, "permit me to present the lady whose business brought you here my niece. Miss Par sons." Tancred bowed and murmured his greetings somewhat Incoherently, for •urprlse had tied his tongue. Had he met her on Broadway lie would have looked at her more than once, but find ing such a girl at Yellow Flat fairly took away his breath. "Won't you let uie take away the bad taste of your ride with some tea?' she asked solicitously. Tancred asquiesced heartily and seat ed himself near the dainty tea table where she was busying herself. .twenty-two, he told himself men tally, "and the finest eyes in America." In that half hour at the tea table Tancred fell In love, and. having fallen In love, the object of his coming here ntruded itself like i Mack cloud in the fair sky of his happiness This girl was an heir.-ss it was this he had .•ome to tell her. And Tancred, albeit i sturdy young lawyer, was by no means wealthy He suddenly resolved lo let the fortune remain in the back pound for a week at least. He would fce unreservedly happy for that time, and then "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof," he told himself. "Cousin Peter couldn't have left me much," said Miss Parsons. "No." said Tancred, carrying out his resolution. "I II no over the papers carefully, and in a week's time I think lon tell you the exact amount A Week went by two weeks- a month. Still the exact amount of Cousin Peter's legacy was not vouch safed to Miss Parsons She seemed to found u richer legacy In her rides with Tancred across the brown platm mid her talks with him before the II brary tir«\ I'nde Tapiey looked or with happy approval. "They're thoroughbreds - a flue pair.'' he told himself often and with much .satisfaction. It was at the end of the sixth week of his stay at the 4X ranch that Tan crcd after a night of sleepless agony resolved to terminate the pangs of con science which were beginning to trou ble him seriously. They had ridden that morning to a group of wells on tlie northern border of the ranch. The air was crisp and clear, and Miss Par sons, with eyes sparkling and cheeks aglow from the ride, was doubly charming T;incred's mind reverted to that aft ernoon when he had stood on the plat form of the Yellow Flat station. "1 felt as if I were marooned," he told himself, "and 1 was marooned —tr paradise." He squared his shoulders and turned to the girl. "I'm going back tomorrow." he said, with quiet force. "Tomorrow?" The consternation In her voice set his heart thumping, but he went on calmly. "Yev; tomorrow. You and I are very far apart." His voice had a note of sadness. "Are we very far apart?" she said, looking away. "Three hundred thousand dollars," h« sai> I. "I I don't think I understand you," she said, regarding him with wonder ing eyes. "Cousin Peter is responsible," he ob served. "Oh!" she gasped. "Was It all that?" "Yes." he said. "You understand, of course, why I go?" She was silent. Her face was turned from him again. Presently he caught the sound of a sob. "Miss Parsons tlertrude!" he cried, and such are resolutions— he put his arm about her. "I'll I'll give it away," she said, sob bing unrestrainedly on his shoulder. And because of this, brown, bare Yel low I'lat became the garden of Eden —to Tailored, at least. A ROMAN FIASCO. Tho ( olomnnl Shuw That Wan rial - lied l>» S» in ■■■ aeh ua. Symmachus, last of the great nobles of Home, who, blinded by tradition, thought to revive the glories of his beloved city by reviving its shame, graphically describes the anxieties of the preparations for one of these co lossal shows, on which he is said to have spent what would be about £BO.- 000 of our money. He began a year In advance. Horses, bears, lions, Scotch dogs, crocodiles, chariot driv ers. hunters, actors and the best glad iators were recruited from all parts. But when the time drew near nothing was ready. Only a few of the animals had come, and these were half dead of hunger and fatigue. The bears had not arrived and there was no news of tho lions. At the eleventh hour the crocodiles reached Home, but they re fused to eat and had to lie killed all at once in order that they might not die of hunger. It was even worse with the gladiators who were intend ed to provide, as in all these beast shows, the crowning entertainment. Twenty nine of the Saxon captives, whom Symmachus had chosen on ac count of the well known valor of their race, strangled one another in prison rather than tight to the death for the amusement of their conquerors. And Symmachus, with all his real elevation of mind, was moved to nothing but dissrust by their sublime choice! Home in her greatest days had gloried In these shows. How could a man be a patriot who set his face against customs which followed the Roman eagles round the world? How many times since then lias patriotism been held to require the extinction of moral sense?—<'ontemporary Review. NORMAN DISTRUST. One Simple Way by U'btch a Trmrel er May Diaarm It. The greatest obstacle to agreeable pedestrianism in Normandy is the pro verbial Norman distrust. The Nor man's distrust of the stranger takes the form of a comical sort of terror of being financially duped, cheated or swindled, not to say robbed—probably because he is himself perpetually en gaged in financial duping. If the tramper does not succeed in disarming by one means or another Norman distrust his tramping life in Normandy will be made a burden to him. Norman distrust can be disarm ed, but It cannot be disarmed in an in stant, a l'Americaine. It takes time to do it the Norman Is the last person In the world to stand and deliver—and there is no social device to be mention ed in the same breath with drinking for courteously consuming time. If the tramper asks a simple (jues tion at a farmhouse he cannot decently linger not in Normandy—after his question is answered. If he makes a petty purchase In a store his sltua tion Is only a trifle less awkward, eince he Is morally obliged to retire as KOOU as tiie transaction is completed. On the other hand, he has only to or der a drink in this country of cider find applejack every store and nearly every farmhouse sells liquor—to be en titled to sit at a table for as long as he wills it and to talk.—Rooklovers' Magazine Hand* Wfff Shaking Already.

"Absolutely Pure," "Perfect Sage," "First Teacher," "<Jreat Philosopher," etc. The avenue which leads up to the philosopher's tomb Is even more Inter esting than the actual place of burial itself. On each side of the avenue are rows of figures of huge animals cut in stone lions, tigers, elephants aud horses, besides numerous mythical creatures, such as animals half dog and half frog, beasts with four legs and twice as many wings, besides a multitude of unnamable monsters that never lived on the earth, lu the wa ter or in the air.

The father of the famous Sir ltobert j I'eel was a cotton spinner in a com ; parativelv small way until he sudden : ly went straight ahead of all his com j petitors. The earliest cotton spinning I machinery gave serious trouble ! through filaments of cotton adhering to the bobbins, thus involving frequent ; stoppages to dear the machinery. The I wages of the operatives were affected hi these delays, but it was noticed that one in. hi in the works always drew full I pay. His loom never stopped. "The onlooker tells me your bobbins are always clean." said Mr. I'eel to film one day. "Aye. they be," said the man, whose name was Dick Ferguson. "How do you manage it. Dick?" "Why. you see, Mester I'eel. It's sort o' secret! !♦ I towd yo', yo'd be as wise as 1 am." "That's so," said i'eel, smiling in response to Hick's knowing chuckle. , "I'd nive you something to know. Coultl you make all tlie looms work as j smoothly as yours?" "Ivery one of 'em, mester!" "Well, what shall I jjive you for your secret, Dick?" The man smiled and rubbed his chin. "Well, Dick, what Is It to be?" "Come, I'll tell thee," was the re ply. "<;i" me a quart of ale lvery day -as I'm in the mills am! I'll tell tliee all about it." "Agreed." said the master. "Well, then," returned Dick, beckon ing Mr. I'eel to come closer and let him whisper in his ear, "chalk your bob' ! bins!" That was the entire secret. Ma ! chlnery was soon invented for chalk ing the bobbins, and Hick Ferguson was given a pension equal to many daily quarts of beer. I rlo Acid.
