I THE FOREST’S EDGE l
By JACK LAWTON.

The toll trees were friends to Nathnn, and the wide I spnees his hreuthliiK place. Twice, he had attempted city life. The walls of Nathan's bungalow were lined with hooks and on tables covered with various skins were always the latest magazines. Nathan liked to pick out accompaniments to his singing on the piano which filled a further corner. and old t'hnrlle, attended ipiletly to Nathan's needs. Charlie was. In ids own recommendation, “it natural horn cook," and Nathan required no other. So he lived. When he returned from some enforced stay In a faraway city, lying upon the hank of a stream with fishing rod In hand. Nathan called that, and not the hosier life, living, And If he missed a woman's touch or ministration he contented himself with the thought that here lie had made Ids choice. Itestlng satisfied In his decision, Nathan looked up one fall day to find a young woman standing before Mm. He stared, surprised at her appearance In Ids fisherman's seclusion, and his stare was prolonged when he took In the sweet charm of her. She was a smiling thing, lips with dimpled, smiling corners like those of a child, her gray eyes deep and shadowed ns one knowing sorrow. The girl’s golden brown hair blew In wisps across her dark lashes; and ns she raised her hand to confine it beneath her hat she smiled. “I have lost my way." the girl said, “will yoit direct me? I am looking for Hawley's shack.” “I hate taken the school up at Iteldnn's I •ass." she said, “and—I did not care to board in that vicinity as former school teachers did ; so 1 looked the country over—and rented the only available wnllr and Moors called a house. It's Hawley’s shark.” “You mean.” Nathan nsktal, “that you intend to live there*—alone?" "It Is for that reason I rented the place, she rcpIU !, “so that I could he I alone.” lie glanced at the modish suit the I girl wore, at the simple h;U, which bore the mark of style. "I'm afraid." he said gently "that you do not realize the situation.” The new school teacher looked Inter-
ested.
“Then.” site told him, ”1 shall ha\° to lay In a larger supply of food ami fuel than I have Intended. Yon say I do not realize the altuattnn. Why, It is much better than I anticipated. 1 Just passed a house back there, yours 1 suppose. I .shall have neighbors, people of my kind whom*! did not hope to find In tills desolation. Your wife would he friendly, would she not, wi'h a stranger?” "I have no wife.” Nathan answered, Just an old man who ar ts as housekeeper. lie's a silent old chap, but would no doubt help you In an emergency. There nre no women—none— In all the forest. It would be wiser to | accept the poorest board that Bolden's ! Pass would offer. How do you expert 1 to reach the school house in winter?” The school Is half way between.” slit* sab). "I shnll make It some way. I I've brought my own horse and a boh | sleigh,” her eyes were shining. "Oh! I You'll see." she finished: "I wish you would be less pessimistic.” Nathan sighed; hr* arose ami went with her to show her the way to Hawley's shack. After that Nathan's visits there l>eenme a matter of course. The little tr-neher showed him her housekeeping transformation. With cretonnes, bright rugs, and simple home furnishings she had made the Interior of the weethor-beaten cottage a place of actual beauty. He formed a Imhlt of i meeting the girl toward the end of anI tump days as she came down the read ' on her tramp from school, and long ! ere this, Nathnn acknowledged to hlmi self that he loved, with a man's one true i.nd faithful love, this little Mol-

ll<. Gad. His absences from her were filled with visions. And Nathan hoped fearful’y, and at times almost confidently. that the solitude would be solitude for him no longer, with her prescnee always near. He told Mollle of his simple life, with Its outer glimpses of further lands. Mollle did not reciprocate, making no reference to her past. When the story of Nathan's love had forced his lips, Mollle trembling, at Inst whispered her story. She. too. had learned to love Nathan. But there could he no betrothal. A purpose had brought her to Mils world. For a year she hud lived under Ihe shadow of crime. It was her father, they said, who had committed the great hank rob- ■ ta-ry—Mottle's father, the cashier. When he was convicted he had run away. Where—even Moll'e could not guess. Ortnin of her father's Innocence and fearing that the shameful strain had been to»> much for him, Mollie had determined to follow the clue of a map he had left In his room, which marked accurately the very route she had followed to Its destination. It was only when she was on her long Journey that she read her father's Innocence published In the papers, with a confession of the real culprit. “My father Is here!” Mollle ended her story. "I feel It. I shall never go hack until I have found him. I cannot marry yon, Nathan." “Sir.” said old t'harlle's gentle voice behind them. "Jake is at the house, waiting orders. I came to tell you.” Mollle Hall turning, gave a sudden cry. Then her arms went out to Char-
lie's bent old figure.
"Father,” she said. "Oh! Father. It's true." she told Nathan, Joyously—

ii'-O, oy Al.cCluic Newspaper Mynuicuie.) Hetty rend the letter over again Of all the nerve, as if she wasn't capable of choosing her own husband ! Hut sisier Corn and her mother couldn't understand it. She simply must make ^ a brilliant match. “None of anyone's ^ business who I marry." said Hetty. I'm the one who has to live with him." Poor Hetty! She had managed to sojourn for h month at the seashore, with her girl friend, in hopes of a rest from the ever match-making mother and older sister. And such matches ns they picked! Hetty shuddered. And now Corn simply Imd to Interrupt her vacation by a letter of Introduction to n Airs. Percy Haskell, an old college chum of Cora's, “who it is said has the most charming brother," and of course Hetty would meet him. Just look at li'm and most assuredly he would marry her. At least that’s the way they thought, it seemed to Betty. "Say, Louise," she exclaimed to her chum. "I have a good mind to marry the fir>t ‘hnyshuker’ that 1 see. and put an end to this whole business. Once married they can’t bring me another eligible In a hurry. I would not mind if they would nt least suggest some one of my class." "I'll tell you right now. Louise, I won't look up any Mrs. Perry Haskell or Mrs. Percy Haskell's brother, for all the money In the world! I promised Jack Laurence I would go swimming this afternoon, and I'm uff. He's a regular fellow, even if he don’t have his nails manicured and hair marcelled every other day.” Hetty shimmed the the door, hut not before Louise had j exclaimed : "I hope the water !s cold. You need cooling off!" Hetty strolled down the road towards the beach. She couldn't help hut think I how nice It would he If she wouldn’t ] have to go hack to the city, and an- | other winter of husband hunting. Suddenly she saw Jaek eomlng. Big. strong, husky Jaek! Somehow he had grown to mean a great deal to Hetty !n the few weeks she had known him. even If lie was a horrible (lancer, and walked all over her. Of course, he drove “ihe governor," so he hud explained when site told him she had seen him speeding down the road a few days ago. Jack never would say much about his occupation. If Hetty would ask him what lie had done in the morning it was generally the same answer: “Oh. I drove the governor,” and that was
all.
"Thought you were never coming, so walked down to meet you. Glad?" asked Jack. “You just bet,” answered f!“tty. Suits me." “And Hetty,” said Jack seriously, "do I suit you just a little? You know I have been doing a lot of deep thinking lately. It won’t ho long before you will lie starting home, and I hate to see you go hack. I'm not so badly situated financially— er—er—to make u long story short, Hetty, dear, will you marry me?” Hetty contemplated; here was her rhnnee to marry n hnyshuker, who would be her pal, and make life worth living, or marry money and become hardened to the idea that there was such a thing •’ as love. Again, she thought of her mother and sister—they would he cross, hut she looked at bright-eyed, honest Jack, with that expectant look on Ids face, mid answered in a manner very pleasing to Jack. After ihe ceremony Jack suggested a f|U'et dinner at n quaint little roadhouse. Tin* dinner was far from quiet, for no sooner had the newlyweds stepped Into tin 1 dining room when — “Why, hello, Jack!" came from a mid-dle-aged man. "What are you doing here?” Jack blushed and turned to Hetty. It was Hetty's turn to blush, so Jack proceeded : "Well, governor, brace yourself for a good one. This is my wife—until tin hour ago Miss Hetty Cobh. Hetty, meet tny hroth-er-ln-law, Percy Haskell, •commonly called ‘the governor.’" Hetty almost fainted. Ja<Ac Lawrence's brother-in-law, Percy Haskell! Site had married a wealthy man after all, and life looked rosy, hut she could even now luuig'im her mother and sister. when they heard of her marriage, saying; "Well, slit* might at least have had a wedding.” Plant Termeious of Life. There i- a creeping moss found In Jamaica, in Harhados mid other islands of Ihe West Indies which s called the "life tree." or. more properly. Hie "life plant." Its powers of vitality are said to he beyond those of any. other plant. It is believed to he Indestnictthle h.v any means except Immersion In hoiling water or the application of a redhot iron. It may he cat up and divided in any manner, and the smallest shreds will throw out roots, grow and hud. The leaves of this extraordinary plant have been planted In a close, airtight, dark box. without moisture of any sort, and still they grew. Bird Slaughter a Mystery. A most mysterious thing happened at Pwllheli, ia Wales, on a spring day some years ago. The residents found part of the harbor full of dead birds. Some were floating, some dead ou the beach. They were all found within a circumference of HOO yards, and there were many hundreds of the poor little corpses. It Is true that there is a lighthouse at the Gimlet rock, hut the dead birds were not found close under ♦he lighthouse, where they would I'.nve fallen had they beaten themselves to death against the glass.
