He came close to her now. “Can’t yon give me a kiss?” stooping his still handsome face toward her. room. One end had been partitioned off or three of its members. “And Payne?” Helen asked. as a closet and storeroom. She dragged “They told me he escaped, ” not meet down a mattress aud blankets. “I will do my best,” she said again ing her eyes. Then she told him. slowly. She did not look at him.

You took it much more coolly the other night,” with a careless laugh. “Well, goodby. I shan’t see you again most likely. He’s a handsome fellow—not much better than I was before I got this beauty mark, though—and just as likely to be no better sort. ” She sank down on the floor as ha went out. By and by she pulled down the pillow from the couch near by and lay there sobbing and shivering. Sam L< e, coming in for directions for the evening meal, found her with closed eyes, and fancying her asleep spread a shawl over her and left her, following the devices of his own heart over the cook stove. She heard the men coming at last— Bronson and her brother—and met them at the door, so white, so desperate look ing that both drew rein and sat staring at her speechlessly. Bronson sprang to the ground at last and took her in his arms. She put him away with a trembling hand, not look ing at him. “Harry, Payne Morse is alive. ” “How do yon know?” “I’ve seen him. He has been here. ” “Today?” “Only a little while ago. It was no mistake. I talked with him. What shall I do? What shall I do?” Bronson was leaning back against his horse, a bewildered look of agony on his face. But as she turned toward him he answered her appeal. He came for ward and put his arm about her. “You see, I love your sister, ” he said to Harry. “She would have been my wife. She shall be now if she will. But, whatever she decides, I love her and al ways shall.” He spoke very slowly and distinctly. “You hear me. Helen. What ever comes, I will not fail you to the end. ” For one minute she lay her head against his shoulder. Then with a sob she turned away and entered the house. After all, human everyday life is not a favorable background for tragedy. The awful happenings drop beneath the current, and the ripples run over them, and half the time we forget them un less it happens to be our own hearts that are aching. Before 48 hours had passed the little household was going on in its old way apparently. It was on the evening of that second day that Harry onmo back from his weekly visit to the postoffice at the sta tion. “I’ve got it sure, ” he said to Bron son. “The Denver police have sent me a photograph of Captain Gordon. Good looking rascal, ” handing over the card. “We can’t miss with that. ” Bronson scrutinized the likeness care fully. “It’s a marked face. That scar across tho forehead is peculiar and not easily hidden. ” “Want to see it, Helen? If in your walks abroad you meet Captain Gordon, you’ll know him. ” She glanced at it and turned a livid face toward him. “Harry, it’s Payne—-Payne Morse.” “What the devil am I to do? Poor Helen, she’s made trouble for somebody her whole life through. I’m head and front of it all, and I can’t go ahead with the thing now, for her sake—and you’re no better off. I’ll go down to night, put the thing into Mason’s hands and clear the country till it’s over with. We’ll have to start for Denver tomor row without an hour's delay, and Helen will have to stay here alone. I’ll get Mason’s wife to come over, if she will have her. It’s the best way I see out of a bad bargain.” That was Harry Tryon’s way, settling everything offhand, but the plan was carried out, and Helen found herself solitary. Mason’s wife came over, but was quickly recalled by tho needs of a sick baby. Happily Helen had steady nerves and a controllable imagination. Of real danger there was very little, and she was glad to*be alone. Of what was going on about her she knew nothing. She had never taken much interest in the happenings of the country and gave no thought to the subject that had been Harry s great in terest for so long. Sam Lee’s work be ing done, he had sauntered off to the cabins down in the timber. Helen was swinging in her hammock as usual, dreaming dreams and seeing visions in such dreary fashion as her past gave reason for. Still, with all tho sadness, there was a dreamy quiet which was not wholly pain, and with the silence, and the starlight, and the slow, monot onous rocking of her swinging cradle she fell asleep. “Helen!” “Yes,” she said drowsily and fell asleep again. “Helen!” the word was spoken a lit tie louder. A hand touched her. She sprang up broad awake now. Payne Morse stood before her. Ho was bareheaded, without his coat; a blood stained sling held his right arm; a torn handkerchief was knotted round his head; he was haggard and ghastly She knew it all at once. It was two hours since she had heard shots in the timber and had lain idly speculating about echoes and the distance tiie sound had come. “They are after me. Can you help me?’ ’ he said in a hoarse gasp. “What can I do?” But it was not a question of helplessness. She was think ing hard. “They will come here, ” he said. “Yes, I suppose so. Yes, I will do my best, ” slowly. “I’ve been hung and shot, ” with a most unmirthful laugh. “The ropo broke, and the fool that fired didn’t break anything. I ought to get off after that. ” She answered him not a word, but after a moment’s thought, "You can come in here, ” opening the door of her “You're a plucky little soul,” light ly. The man’s daredevil recklessness was uppermost again. "You know who you are entertaining? Not au angel un awares. I’m Captain Gordon.” “Yes, I know.” “All right then. Mind one thing— they are not likely to use you—a wom an—roughly. If it comes to that, I shall appear on the scene. ” “I’m not afraid Don’t talk any more, please, ” in a tired sort of way. Then she lighted her room and began dressing leisurely. The occupation had its object. Sitting still was impossible while 6he waited. But when a sharp rap sounded per emptorily through the house she started ALL FOR LOVE pected, that’s certain. After that I wonder if there’s anything you can’t stand. Listen, Payne Morse is dead.” He had risen and was holding both her hands as she sat before him. “I know it's true,” he said earnestly. ”1 saw him. He was taken out of the train at the junction where I waited. Died of heart disease, they said, with out a struggle or a word. ” He 6poke slowly, as if to give her time to take in the significance of his words. Hi r face whitened slowly, and as he finished she dropped at his feet in a faint like death She was married in the dim twilight in the old church at home, with just her mother and sisters near her, and her fa ther watching her with softened eyes. The organ murmured in full, soft chords, but there were no strangers, no bridal display. As she stepped out into the sweet spring evening the young faint crescent of the moon met her eyes. “It's the beginning,” Frank whisper ed softly, bending down that she alone might hear.—Overland Monthly. The Blind Guido In the Capitol. She started with cvcrii nerve. with every nerve. Her voice was steady enough, however, as she went to the curtained window. “Who is it?” “Morgan from over Point.” “Captain Morgan? Yes, I know. If you will find your way in, I will join you presently. ” She heard the tramp of feet making their way uncertainly into the unlighted room. She did not hasten; every soft fold of lace about her throat was settled carefully to its place, aud she went back to adjust a slipping braid of hair as if the most critical and fastidious of morn ing callers awaited her. Something of the dramatic instinct must liavo been born in her. She stood in the doorway presently, holding the lamp far above her head that she might see her visitors, a graceful, white clad shape, with shin ing eyes and flushed cheeks. The men rose involuntarily. “I ajn Mrs. Morse, ” she said quietly. “My brother, Mr. Tryon, is not at home. ” “Don't be alarmed, ” Captain Morgan said reassuringly. “We are the vigi lance committee searching for the cap tain of the horse thief gang. He escaped us a few hours ago and came this way ” She thought of the shooting and hang ing while this soft voiced vigilant was making his explanation. She moved for ward and put her lamp down on a table before she answered. “He visited us somo time since,” with a half smile. “Y'ou know we lost all our horses. ” “I knew you were hero alone and thought he might take advantage of the fact. Nobody knows how much in formation he has. ’ ’ She shook her head. “Captain Gordon hasn’t frightened me, ’ ’ she said calmly. Then she glanced at the men. They were till splashed and travel torn. “Could I offer you any refreshment, ” she said half timidly, “for yourself or your horses? I have heard my brother speak of you frequently,” with the smile that years ago Payne Morse bail found so bewitching. She looked so frail and slight, so en tirely different from the southwestern feminine development, that Morgan, a great, good natured giant, found him self abashed. As for his companion-, they stood with their guns in the hol low of their arms, holding their hats awkwardly and uneasily. They were rough riders and straight shots, but this slender woman upset their nerves. “We’re about played out,” Morgan said, “the horses at least. He won’t be likely to get far tonight,” with a sig nificant glance at the mail nearest him, “and we couldn’t do much anyhow. It is going to be blacker than pitch. If you don’t mind our camping on the place—you don’t look much like work, Mrs. Morse, but I’m not a bad hand at a frying pan myself. ” “Certainly, gentlemen,” with sweet est courtesy. “Y’ou know the way to the corncribs, and, ” putting out a pair of slender, browned hands, “I'm not as helpless as I look.” So she and Captain Morgan made cof fee, fried bacon and baked biscuit, while the men fed their horses and arranged sleeping places for themselves. “Don’t that beat anything you ever saw in your life in the way of a wom an?” one of them said after a long rec- onnoissance through the kitchen win dow. “And there’s Morgan,” with awe in his voice, “talking away to her as chippe r as a jaybird. ” They rode away in the gray of the morning. All day Jong she ministered to the man who had wrecked her life. Thero was little talk. They could not venture on that. He slept like a worn- out man who makes the most of his chances in safety. When night came again and again, Sam Lee left the house alone. Then, clad in Harry Tryon’s garments and riding Rebecca, Payne Morse made his way to a signal station on the railway 10 miles away. “Goodby, ” he said. “Y'ou'll not be likely to see or hear of me again. For your sake it's almost a pity that they didn’t make an end of me. ” “Don’t say that, Payne. We’ll live out our lives. Yours might have such chances if you chose to use them. ” “Goodby, my girl. ” He stooped and kissed her cheek. “If I could go back again—well, we wouldn’t get married. ” Harry Tryon came back three or four days later. He knew about the dispers ing of the gang and the hanging of twe “Did you ever hear about the first guide at the capital? He was stone blind. Don’t believe it? Well, I don’t blame you, for in his day only a few people knew he was blind, and even those he took through the big buildin; ig suspected that he could sec.” The speaker was John B. McCarthy, the private secretary of Senator White and a veteran newspaper man. “The blind guide was old ‘ProfessoT Donaldson, ’ as wo called him in those lays. He made his living for 20 years by showing visitors about the building and followed that calling until 1873. I used to wonder how he knew when to turn in the corridors, but he told me one day that he not only knew the distances from one point to another, but that he wanted no better guide than the drafts of air. They never failed to make his location known to him. Don aldson would gt> into the senate gallery with a party and point out the senators, whom he would describe, locating them at their seats. It was all right if they were on hand, and if they weren’t the visitors would generally be too dazed to know the difference. Another strange thing about Donaldson was that he was an inveterate gambler. Ho would make money in the daytime and stake it on poker games at night. He carried a small black boy around with him on those occasions, and the duty of the pickaninny was to tell him what cards lie had. Then he played, and played well too.”—Washington News. The Original Martinet. Lord Wolseley, in a dissertation Oil the discipline of the French army in the reign of Louis XIV, mentions that the instruction of the infantry was intrust ed to a General Martinet, “whose name is still a synonym for unrelenting strict ness in the punctual performance of all duties, no matter how small and appar ently unimportant.” The noble and gallant biographer of the hero of Blen heim likewise states that it was General Martinet who replaced the pike with the bayonet. In the second Dutch war he introduced the use of copper pon toons. Pierro Larousse, on the other hand, says that Martinet, notwithstand ing his talents and the important serv ices which he rendered to his country, never rose beyond the rank of a colonel of infantry. Lord Wolseley has omitted to record another notable invention of General or Colonel Martinet. He introduced into the French army the celebrated “cat with 12 tails” of cords or leather, which still bears his name in France aud is used to beat clothes and sometimes chil dren with. As to our own military cat-o'-nine tails, its origin is a mystery. The old correctional whip of justice had only three lashes, and the importation of a cat with nine is sometimes ascribed to William III, who brought over with him to England in 1G88 several regi ments of Dutch guards, in whose ranks the strictest discipline was maintained. —Sala in London Tinies. Courtship by Proxy. “Courtship by mail is apt to be dan gerous, ” said Harry F. Potter of Bal timore. “A great many more marriages are arranged in this way than is gener ally supposed, and statistics do not prove that they turn out on the average any worse than others. I am personally ac quainted, however, with one case in which a man married a lady with whom he had not even corresponded. A young lady for a joke answered a matrimonial advertisement, taking into her confi dence a friend who was as full of fun as herself. When it came to the point of exclumging photographs, she sent her friend's, and when, a few weeks later, a letter came inclosing a railroad ticket, an enthusiastic offer of marriage’ ami a request to come on at once, the origi nator of the joke thought matters had gone far enough, and showing the let ter to her friend toil her she proposed to tear it up and drop the correspond ence. The friend, however, had be- como impressed with both the photo graph and eloquence of the distant woo er, and without telling any one of her intentions she kept the appointment, met tho stranger and married him. Probably a more remarkable outcome of a joke and of courtship by proxy has seldom taken place.”—St. Louis Globe- Democrat. What’s In a Name?

Ilis name will I» known by his friends, aud for those who were not his friends his name may re main unknown. The vicar read the fu neral services while the birds were sing ing on the trees, the sun shone on the laburnum and the lilac, and from below the cliff came the roll of the waves along the shore. His remains were laid beside those of his wife, and while the words of the solemn service fell upoq my ears I was thinking how it would have fared with Paul had it not been for his mar riage. It will harm no one now to tell the story of that marriage. When first he met his wife, in the year 1857, he was—well, he was 25 years of age, to begin with. It seems as if merely to be 25 is enough, but I sup pose some other things are desirable as well. He had just been called to the bar, he was a fellow of his college, a hard headed reader and an athlete. He was popular because he possessed a pleas ant voice, a pleasant face and a pleasant mannt r. because he was not small and petty in speech or thought and because he was strong Nobody among under graduates is so popular as the man who is strong. Further, in order to acquire facility in speaking, he spoke regularly at the union and learned to speak well. Whatever he attempted he either did well or abandoned altogether. I have said that in the year 1857 Paul was 25 years of age. It was in that year that he took the step which subsequent ly led to his early retirement. And it happened in this way: In the month of September wc started together upon a walking expedition. In those days we had a project for walk ing round the coast of Great Britain, taking a fortnight here and another there, according to season and opportu nity, and reckoning that we should com plete the task—allowing for sinuosities and creeks—in 373 years exactly, We carried a white, round pebble. At the cud of each walk we buried it and marked the place. At the beginniug of a new walk we dug it up again. Ey this method one was quite sure of pass ing over the whole ground without pos sibility of self deception. We began very well, with capital weather aud high spirits. On the afternoon of the third day an accident happened of a very common and uninteresting nature. Paul twisted his ankle oil a loose stone. We were then about a mile and a half distant from a certain small village through which wo liatl to pass, but wc had not intended to rest a night there. When we reached it, however, the trou ble of the ankle became so bad that it was absolutely necessary to stop. Fortu nately we found a decent inn. with bet ter accommodations than might have been expected. It was an old thatched and rustic village public house, tc which had been built a new modem wing containing three or four bedrooms, a coffee room and a billiard room. After laying my man upon the sofa in the coffee room I went out to explore the place. It was more considerable than I had expected. There was a sin gle long street running up a gentle hill from the seashore. < in the top of the hill was a church, with an ancient rub ble tower aud a square brick “temple” of the period of George II. Beyond the church were two roads, and beside them certain villas, which looked very pretty ’mid the woods ami trees and gardens. At the lower end of the towu was the port. Here the sea runs inland aud makes a little creek ft >r the reception of a stream. They have built out a brick jetty and constructed a wharf, along which are generally lying half a dozen small vessels. On the right of the creek there rose a bold headlaud, such as are so common on the white coasts of Al bion. Ou the left the land was low for a mile or two, and then rose gradually, and there was a great bay with a sweep of cliff after cliff, very beautiful. As I looked there came swiftly round the headland a little boat—not a common dingy or fishermen’s boat, but a minia ture yacht—quite a dainty little craft, flying foresail and mainsail. A girl was steering her, and a boy sat beside the masthead to lower sail. The boat ran merrily up the creek alongside the jetty. The boy lowered sail, unshipped must and rudder and tied the painter with the quickness of him who understands his work. Then both spraug out anil ran up the steps of the jetty, and oue of the fishermen touched his hat aud went slowly down to take the boat to her moorings. The pair were clearly broth er and sister—he a lad of 18; shea year or two older, perhaps 21. They were curiously alike, aud the girl’s face was her brother’s glorified. There is no other word which can express the differ ence between the two faces. She had the same face as her brother, but glorified. Thus the boy’s hair was light anti cur ly. Ilers was darker. His eyes were a light blue, and hers a dark blue and deeper. His mouth was weak, and hers was strong. In her walk and bearing there was more strength and character than seemed to belong to her brother. All these things I did uot observe at the moment when she passed quickly up the pier, but I found them out afterward. As for her figure, she was nearly as tall as her brother, who was certainly 5 feet 8, and in shape she resembled the god dess Artemus, who was of thinner aud slighter build and had a more slender waist than Aphrodite. Her admirers, in fact, invented the corset aud the prac tice of tight lacing. In the evening after dinner we took refuge in the billiard room, as there was nothing at all in the house to read.
