Ga brother, then silence, and such silence that Sweetwater fancied he could catch the sound of Brotheraon’s heavy breath ing His own was silenced to a gasp What a treasure of a girl! How natural her indignation! What an instinct she showed and what comprehension! This high and mighty handling of a most dif ficult situation and a most difficult man. had imposed on Brotherson, hud almost Imposed upon himself. Those letters so beautiful, so spirltuelle! Yet, the odds were that she had never read them, much less abstracted them. The minx! the ready, resourceful, wily, daring minx! But had she imposed on Brotherson? As the silence continued. Sweetwater began to doubt. He understood quite well the importance of his neighbor's first movement. Were he to t*ar those letters into shreds! He might be thus tempted. All depended on tie strength of his pres ent mood and the teal nature of the secret which lay burled In his heart. Was that heart as flinty as it seemed? Was there no place for doubt or even for curiosity, in its impenetrable depths'* Seemingly, he had not moved foot or hand since his unwelcome visitors had left. He was doubtless still staring at the scattered sheets lying before him; possi bly battling with unaccustomed impulses; possibly weighing deeds and consequences in those slow moving scales of his in which no man could cast a weight with any certainly how far its even balance would be disturbed There was a sound as of settling coal. Only at night would one expect to hear so slight a sound as that In a tenement full of noisy children But the moment chanced to be propitious, and it not only attracted the attention of Sweetwater on his side of the wall, but It struck the ear of Brotherson also. With an ejaculation as bitter as it was impatient, he roused himself and gathered up the letters Sweetwater could hear the successive rustlings as he bundled them up In his hand. Then came another silence then the lifting of a stove lid. Sweetwater had not been wrong in his secret apprehension. Ills Identification with his unimpressionable neighbor's mood had shown him what to expect. These letters these innocent and pre cious outpourings of a rare and womanly soul the only conceivable open sesame to the hard-locked nature he found himself pitted against, would soon be resolved into a vanishing puff of smoke But the lid wa< thrust back, and the ■ letters remained in hand. Mortal strength has its limits Even Brotherson could not shut down that lid on words which ! might have been meant for him, harshly] as he had repelled the Idea. The pause which followed told little, j but when Sweetwater heard the man within move with iharaeterlsti< energy to! the door, turn the key and step back j again to his place at the table, he knew that the danger moment had passed and that those letters were about to be read not casually, but seriously, as indeed their contents merited. Ibis caused SwoetW’nter to feel serious I himself. I'pon what result might he calculate? What would happen to this] hardy soul, when the fact he so scorn 1 fully repudiated was borne in upon him. ! and he saw that the disdain which had i antagonized him was a mere device a cloak to hide the secret heart of love | and tager womanly devotion” Her death little ns Brotherson would believe It up until now had been his personal* loss the greatest which can befall a man W hen he came to see this when the mod est fervor of her unusual nature began to dawn upon him hi these self-revela tions. would the result be remorse, or Just the deadening and final extinction ot whatever tenderness hr may have re tained for her rnemorv " Impossible to tell. The balance of prob ability hung even Sweetwater recognized this, and clung, breathless, to his loop bob’ bain would he have seen, as well as heard Mr Brotherson read the first letter standing As it soon became public prop erty I will give it here.

She has another young man calling on her and has virtu i ally promised to marry him. She shows me quite a bit of favor and says that she cares quite a bit for me. How do you think I could win her from the other chap, or do you think it would be useles to try ? I ANXIOUS. You have a light to try. Be sure I that you use only the most honorable means, and never say a disparaging word of your rival. Just leave him out of the question. If you love her. tell her so. Give her a chance to choose between you. If the decision is against you. accept it like a man. If you can’t have her love, her friendship and re spect will mean a great deal to you. DON'T DO IT. ' Dear Miss Fairfax I am a young girl and deeply in love with a young man one year ; my senior. We've been going to i get her for ten months. Occaslonal i ly we would quarrel, but it never amounted to much. For some rea i son or other he has become tjngry. Several people have asked him the reason, but he refuses to tell. Do you think I ought to write and ask . him to explain his peculiar actions? PERPLEXED. If you offended, apologize. But if he is sulking without reason, don't eat humble t ie when it is not your turn. Just let him alone. A lover who is coaxed back never stays long One xvho returns voluntarily is too ashamed of himself and too much afraid he w ill " not be forgiven to ever stray again PUT AWAY THE PAST.

Do You Know— It 1s stated in a volume of the census report, just issued, that if the total population of England and Wales at the last census, 36.070.402, was distributed at equal intervals over the whole sur face of the country, a distance of 76 yards would separate each individual from his nearest neighbor. in 1901 this interval was 80 yards. In 1891 85 yards, in 1881 90 yards and In 1871 96 yards.

FO~ JALE AND RECOMMENDED i BY JACOBS' PHARMACY, The Best of All Riches Ry Beatrice Fairfax 'Poor Love!” said Life, “thou hast nor gold, Nor lands, nor other store, I ween; Thy very shelter from the cold Is oft but lowly built and mean.” “Nay: Though of rushes be my bed. Yet am I rich,” Love said. —Princess Troubetzkoy. Y° u think we will be happy | J when we have so little money?” a girl asked me re cently, looking up from a "Hope Box” filled with dainty little bridal attire she had made herself. Every article in the box had been bought with a mind fixed on economy; every stitch had been taken with the happy seamstress - brain busied with methods and plans for pretty effects that are obtained by outlay of labor in stead of by outlay of money. My dear girl,” I replied, “no one is so rtch as those who love and are loved. You are showing inappreciation of love if you call yourself poor.” She folded away the contents of the box in white tissue paper, putting sweet-scented pads between, and smil ing so happily to herself while doing it that I wished I had the genius of a painter. Hold Love Fast. "Hold fast to your love.” I said, “and told fast to your faith in the man who loves you. Nothing else counts.” “Nothing else counts." I wish every girl who scorns a love that "hast not gold, nor lands, nor other store." could realize that no Love, be it ever so poor, comes empty-handed. For if Love's hands contain nothing else, they hold Happiness, and what is wealth without that? I have seen girls who think that the only joy in life lies in being able to decorate one’s self like a Christmas tree, turn up their little powdered noses in scorn at the thought of a poor man’s love. They would sell their hearts for a ribbon. They find, when the bargain is made, that they have also sold their souls. No woman can marry a man solely for his money and remain a good wom an. She may violate no moral or so cial law, but down in her heart she vio lates every law of heaven. I have heard women argue that mar riage 'to riches gives the woman a broader opportunity of doing good. She has a purse that knows no bottom when appeals are made to her for char, ity. A husbands wealth. they claim, gives the wife a greater influence. She ML i Sj ''"l HE color of one’s hair is j sji * an indication of the /’j health of the scalp.
