Inyo aiuuuntcd to almost wurshlp. '
Herman lmd enjoyed this devotion on
her jiurt oxocedliiKly, us what man would
j)"t iu liko cireumstnuces? But lately he
had sometimes thought sho wns too dem
onstnilivo in her affections, a little too
leiitimentiil, in fuct, and that hi her trout
enjoyment of his company perhaps sho
was a little selfish aud took a good deal
of liis time away from his profession.
Ilefore he mot her this law business,
had been his sole object of interest, and
now thnt the first glamour of his engage
ment wns over lie did not exuetiy return
to Ids first love, but was willing to divido
his ntteutlou, nnd strange it would be in
deed it his fiancee did not suffer in tho
dividing process.
Just uow be was about to tnko a short
trip out of the state, nnd ho was on bis
way to bill Margaret goodby. He had de
cided It would be all nonsense to havo a
scene over this lirsl parting, nnd, ns for
luvo letters, they would be entirely out of
the question. "It would bo Margaret's
way to make n great fuss over our sepa
ration," he said to himself ns ho rnn up
tho steps of the Lelands' homo and rnng
the bell, "but I shall bo taking trips of
ten, and there is no need of beiug fool
ish. We must begin as wo enn hold
out."
Ho is relieved ns he enters tho draw
ing room that tiiero aro guests present
and ho is not likely to sco his sweetheart
alone, nnd with it all is a vague senso of
disappointment too. Ho talks with her,
with her mother and brother and with
tho friends they nro entertaining. Ho
exerts himself to be ngreenblo nnd to
keep the conversation on general topics,
nnd when nt tho end of nu hour he rises
to go and carelessly announces his de
parture from the city on the morrow ho
is convinced that he has n voided-' the
tiling he dreaded, nnd in n diplomatic
kind ot way too. Margaret had perhaps
grown a little white when he spoko of his
trip, but she said nothing. It was only
when he left the room thnt she followed
him nnd put her arm up rouid his neck.
"I don't like to have yrfii leave me, dar
ling," she whispered coaxingly. "Is it
necessary?"
The reply cniue rather shortly.
"Why, of course. Do you suppose I
would go If it wasn't? Come, Margaret,
don't be silly."
Sho withdrew her arm immediately, hut
her face dropped witli disappointment,
and her lips trembled. Her lover moved
uneasily, but she recovered herself nt
once.
"You will write me every day? It will
be such n comfort to me when you nro
not here to know just where you are and
what you are doing."
"Oil, no, my dear. I should not have
time to do that. I shall be rushing froui
one place to another, nnd it would not
pay to display so much sentiment for just
two weeks."
"For . just two weeks," she repeated
mechanically nnd with nn effort. "At all
events, give me an address where mail
would reach you. Something might hap
pen. I might want you. Something tells
me I Bhall wnnt to seud for you."
Ho lnugbcd rather forcibly.
"You denr little soul, you would write
me twice a day, and it would interfere
with my business nffnirs and tnko my
mind off my duties. No mail for mo this
trip! Why, I am not even leaving my ad
dress nt my hotel. We must endure to
be separated totally for two weeks, and I
dare sny it will be good for us. You will
love me a great denl more when we are
together ngain."
"That would be impossible," sae quiet
ly returned, and then sho gnvo him her
hand in parting. Ho avoided her eyes
tho hurt look In them was more than he
could bear but ho took the little trem
bling hand In his and stooped to kiss her.
"Goodby, dear! Take good care of your
self. Give me one more kiss, and I am
gone. Remember, it's only two weeks."
Two weeks later tho train is steaming
into the city as fast as the big Iron borso
can carry It, but it cannot go too fast for
tho impatient Mr. l'owors. The two
weeks are ovor, tho business trip Is nt
an end and Is successful, and now ho
wants to sco Margaret, his love, his dar
ling. He has thought of her day and night,
he has bought her extravagant presents,
ho has done everything to pleaso her ex
cept to write to her, nnd ho can hardly
wait for his meeting with her.
He gets his overcoat on, his grip in
hand, he scorns the assistance of the por
ter, nud before tho train has fairly ceased
Its motion he steps down to the platform
ot the station. He sends a telegram to
Margaret announcing his arrival and
then takes a cnb to his hotel, giving tho
cabman nn extra to hurry, so anxiouB is
ho to make tho necessary changes in his
toilet nnd get to his llnncee. lie rainy

from her brother.
My Dear Fellow We are ao aorry we haven't
vour address and cannot send for you. Margaret,
of course, must know where you are, but for
orae reason she declines to tell us. Probably it
la to spare you the pain ot partinir, for Margaret
la dying. She took cold the day you left, and tho
Illness ranidlv developed into pneumonia.
Tho doctor gave us almost no hopo from the
beginning and tonight Bays we must expect tho
worst, lie thinks she will hold out a couple ot
days longer, and we are all hoping that aorne
chanco will bring you home before she goes.

Writes From Nome,
ThoniAs Garten has written a second in
teresting letter on Nome, to B, Shelton, of
Skagwav. lie says:
"Nome City is a big. dirty town, with some
thousands of inhabitants. I think there is no
doubt that the country is rich, and I believe a
man there in the spring with provisions would
stand a show to do well .
"The miuing country is extensive. They are
prospecting 00 miles from Nome northward
and have found rich placers.
"The climate durlug the summer will not be
bad, I should think, but the ground is very
wet and boggy, and people would need to pro
paro for life in the region.
"The weather is extremly Bevere in the
winter. Violent winds blow and it freezes in
tensely. It was bad enough when we left there.
The open, sandy beach affords the only land
ing place. A heavy surf runs moat of the time,
"A great deal of the miuing has been done
on the beach. Thero is fine gold all along in
uneven quantities. I was told men made from
310 to 8100 a day on the beach. They do not
dig deep; only a few feet some places.
"The beach is goverment property, and any
one can dig on it without staking or recording.
"The uiiniug laws of the country are very
bad, as the claims are too big and oue man
with power of attorney can take up a number
of claluiB, so that large tracts of country are
gobbled up by one man! hardly what one
would expect from people whose motto is
liberty, equality, and fraternity.
"There is another evil in Nemo, Many
lawless Alaskan and Klondike characters
have drifted there, and neither life nor
property is Bafe. Strict discipline will be
necessary to l;eep anything like order."
