"Jim," she went on faltcrlngly, "I'm
lonely and heartsick. I'm trying to
tell you that I want your lovo; that
I can't live any longer without It."
Iler head sank low, and a sob caught
her voice.
'There; I've told you. I'vo no pride
left. Tell mo that you lovo mo. 1
want to hoar It a thousand times. I
want it, right or wrong I Speak I Say
something, if only to curse me!"
"You should have thought of this.
Nnn, before these gray hairs began
to creep Into my balr."
"I did, Jim!" she cried, eagerly bend
ing near. "God knows I fought! You
never know it, but I did. For whole
nights I wrestled with the flend that
tempted me and fought for my love.
It took days and weeks to strangle Its
hold on my heart and force me to be
tray myself. Oh, Jim, It's not too
late to live! Look at mo, dearest, and
Bay It's not. For God's sake, tell mo
thnt you love mo still! Am I old? Am
1 faded?"
Tho man had felt sure of himself
when she began, but the tenderness,
tho passion, tho yearning appeal of her
voice-were more than ho could resist.
"Look into my eyes, Nan," he cried,
"and let me see the bottom of your
soul!"
4 She lifted her dark lustrous eyes,
devouring hltn with love.
"You'll und only your image there,
Jim."
Ho looked at her sternly.
"Before I tako you into my arms and
smother you with kisses," he whis
pered fiercely, "there mustn't bo any
mistake this time. I've got to know
that your love for me is tho biggest
thing In your life tho only thing In
your life!"
"I swear It!" she gasped.
"You've got to prove It; I'm going to
put you to the test."
"Any test!" she broke In quickly.
"I warn you," he went on, with in
creasing seriousness, "the test will be
a real one. You and I, Nan, could
never be happy with tho shadow of
Blvens' fortune over us."
"But Its shadow can't be over us!
It's going to bo yours, no has given
It to mo his death Is only a question
of n year or two and I'm going to
give it all to you."
"There's not a dollar of his millions
that Isn't smirched. I'd sooner wear
tho rags of a leper than Boll my hands
with it. If you lovo me you will havo
to give up these millions." -
Nan gazed at him In astonishment
and brOko Into a low laugh.
"Of course, you're teasing me. You
can't be In earnest In such an absurd
dime novel Ideal Give away this
enormous fortune!'-
The woman placed her hand tenderly
In his and nestled close to his side.
"Come, Jim, dear, this is a practical
world; you have some common sense
even If you are a man of genius; you're
not Insane!"
"I think not," he answered, soberly.
"You cannot make this absurd de
mand on me," she repeated slowly,
"knowing the awful price I paid for
these millions?"
"It's bocause I know it thnt I make
the demand," ho went on, passionately.
"We aro face to face now, you and I,
with all tho little subterfugos and lies
of life torn from our eyes. Tho fact
that tho price at which he bought you
was high say a hundred millions
does not chango tho fact I refuse to
share with tho woman I lovo tho price
for which she sold herself, whether tho
sum be a hundred dollars or a hundred
millions! I can forgive and havo for
given the wrong you've done me, but
I could never share Its conscious
degradation."
Nan looked at him in despair, her
eyes suddenly clouding with tears.
What do yoa mean when you soy
givo up these millions?"
"Just what I say," he answered
quickly.
"But I couldn't throw them Into tho
street. What would I do with them?"
"You can give them back to tho poo
plo, the public, from whom they were
taken tho peoplo whoeo labor created
their value. That's what nn honest man
does when he finds ho hns wronged Ills
neighbor. There's not a stone in your
palaces whose cement was not mixed
in human tears. Tho stain of blood is
in every scarlet thread of your carpets.
rugs and curtains."
"But you are talking like a mad an
archlst. His money was made as all
great fortunes aro mado."
"So much tho worse for our flnan
ciers. Civilization must rest at least on
justlco or it can't enduro."
"But, Jim, no matter what your the
ories of life or your ambitions, these
millions will mako them more power
ful." "It's not true. Not a single great man
whose words havo molded the world
was rich. The glitter of your millions
onco blinded mo and I was on tho point
of surrender, but I'vo won out. The
peoplo in your little world livo for
money. They do not possess it, they
iro possessed by it They aro slaves,
iou will havo to come with me into
tho great freo world If you lovo me."
"If I love you?" Nan cried, with
trembling lips. "Don't speak that way.
If you only know! My love for you
has kept mo alive through all that I've
endured. It's tho only thing that's
worth the struggle; but I can't think.
Your demand is so sudden, so stun
ning, so terrifying, I don't know what
to say."
"We can never bo anything to each
other," ho answered firmly, "on any
other terms than tho renunciation of
all that Blvcns leaves. I don't care
what you do with it Just so you wash
your hands of it You and I must be
gin life Just whero wo left off when
tho shadow of his money darkened
tho world for us both. You must give
it up."
"It's hard, dearest," she said with a
sob, "for your sake it's hard. I've
trreamed sd" many w"ondeffilI things
that would iome to pass when I made
you tho master of these millions."
"You must choose between his
money and my lovo; you can't havo
both."
Sho gnzed at him with a desperate
yearning.
"I'll do anything you wish, only love
mo, dearest," sho sobbed. "All I ask
Is to be loved loved loved and that
you never leave mo!"
But oven as sho spoke, her mind was
mado up. Sho would reserve at least
half her fortune secretly. When they
wero mnrrled sho could persuade him
to bo reasonable.
"All right, then, It's settled, but It
must bo everything with mo or noth
ing. I won't shako hands with my
friend and make love to his wife. You
must ccaso to be his wife now."
"But how what do you mean?" she
nsked, white with sudden fear.
"Leave your husband, your palaces,
your millions and Join me tomorrow
night on tho limited for Now York.
Bring only a chango of clothes in a
single trunk nnd a hand bag. My
money must he sufficient. I'll wire for
passage on an outgoing steamer. We'll
spend two years In Europe and return
to America when wo please. Are you
ready?"
"Oh, Jim, dear," she faltered, "you
know that would be madness!"
"Certainly it's mndncss, tho madness
of a great love! Come, why do you
hesitate?"
The lines of her body relaxed and
sho began to sob softly. The man
waited in silence for her to speak.
"I'vo done you harm enough, dear
est," she said at last. "I can't do
this."
"And your thought Is only of me,
Nan?" he nsked with piercing Inten
sity. "And of myself," she acknowledged
brokenly. "I couldn't do such an In
sane, vulgar thing."
"I didn't think you could," was tho
bitter response.
"All I ask," she pleaded, "Is to hear
you say tho words that you love me
now Just as I am with nil my faults."
"Well, I shall not speak thorn," he
answered savagely. "Your husband Is
tho master of millions, but I am the
master of something bigger I am the
master of myself. I will not play a
second fiddle to your little husband."
Tho dark head dropped lower. When
sho lifted It at last two despairing
tears were shining In her eyes.
"I understand, Jim," she said simply.
"Wo will go on as we havo. I'll wait
In silence."
lie rose and lifted her to her feet.
Tho voices of the youngsters rang up
tho mountain's side.
"No, we can't go on like this now,
Nan," ho said with quiet strength.
"Tho silence has been broken between
us. Your husband is my friend and
from today our lives must lie apart
If s tho only way."
Sho extended her hand and he
pressed It tenderly. Her voice was tho
merest sobbing whisper when sho
spoke: "Yes, Jim, I suppose it's the
only way."

HOT AVEATHER HATCHES CHICKS
Tho heat of the last week has
hatched out a brood o chickens, the
mother of which died two weeks be
fore tho peeps were to leave the
shells on the chicken farm of Henry
Manley, who teaches a country school
near Lestershlre, Broome county.
Manley says: "Tho hen died a week
ago and I burled her. Yesterday I
visited her nest to dlsposo of the
eggs and I found ten Minorca chicks
that had hatched out during the hot
weather without hen or incubator.
They were as lively a lot of peeps as
ever I saw." Manley expressed won
der, not so much because the blaz
ing sun had hatched tho eggs, which
require a temperaturo of 103 de
grees, as ho did that the eggs hatch

practiced by hand in artificial incu
bation and done by tho hen herself
in natural incubation.
MOWED OFF A PARTRIDGE'S
LEGS.
The Gllboa Monitor says: Monday
as William Betts was mowing on his
flats with a mowing machine, he
started up a hen partridge with her
brood of young ones, and they im
mediately took wing for tho tall
trees near tho creek. Mr. Betts kept
on mowing and had gotten probably
twice around the piece he was mow
ing when he noticed a fluttering In
the grass and getting off the machine
he found a young partridge minus its
legs, which had been severed by the
machine while tho bird had been
skulking In the grass. Tho bird,
however, was far from being dead,
for as soon as it disentangled Itself
from tho new mown grass, it flew to
