The Road to A HaDDiness. By TEMPLE BAILEY. Copyrighted. 1308. by Associated Literary Press. Margaret, with her eyes on the heavy Bky that hang over the stabbly fields, sang softly: Tailing leaf and fading tree. Lines of white on a sullen sea." She stopped and turned to Meredith with an impulsive gesture. "This is the end," she said. His somber eyes met hers. "I can't 6ee it," he stormed. "We love each other. Why shouldn't we be happy?" "Ah, but there is the other girl!" she reminded him. "Yes, the other girl," he said, and for a long time after that they were silent. In front of them stretched the long brown road. The goldenrod flamed on both sides of it now, but when these two had first met there had been sweetbrier and other delicate flowers of the early summer. Margaret had worn a bunch of wild pink roses that first morning when she bad come to the bit pat tn her mall, and to Meredith, there on the same errand, she had seemed as fresh and perfect as the flowers she wore. Since then they had waited every morning on the old rustic bench under the oaks, and life in that time had tak en on new meaning. "Think of it," Margaret said at last"tomorrow the little postman will come here and there will be no one to see him and nothing will be changed, but you and I will be far away you in the west and I in the east" After another silence he asked, "What are you going to do with your life?" "I?" she hesitated. "Oh, go in for something, I suppose settlement work or society or literature. Perhaps I'll write a novel." "And you think that any of those things will make you happy?" She stretched out her hands to him. "Ah, happiness" she began, and her voice broke. "Come with me," he whispered as he bent over her. "It must be you and I for all the future, Margaret." She drew away from him. "No, no," she told him; "I shall get along. A woman can find so many interests in these days, and in using my brain I shall forget that I have a heart. And you you will marry the other girl, and this summer, this little time that we have had together, will seem to voulikejB dream or a strain of music 3 OU CAN GET MONEY AI ONCE WITHOUT FORMAL ITY FflOM US . .

ms eyes followed her as she rose and walked to the cate. She wore a loose tan coat and tan shoes; and her brown hair was waved and puffed into a shining coiffure. ' "Oh, you beauty,1 he whispered. -you Deautyr "Hush!" she warned, and they heard the beat of a horse's hoofs. The mail wagon of the rural deliv ery carrier was protected from sun and rain by a white umbrella, under wnicn the little man sat like a frog under a toadstool "You all goln tomorrow?" he asked as Meredith gave him directions for forwarding the maiL Then he gave a chuckling laugh. "I reckon if yon aa come next summer your mail will come to the same name Margaret had a half dozen letters ana a paper. Meredith's mail was all business matter except one square white envelope addressed in delicate remmine script "Look here," the little postman said to Margaret facetiously as he hand ed the letter to Meredith; "I'd be Jealous of that letter if I were you. He gets one every day, A wave of scarlet swept over the girl's race. "Jealous !" she stammered "Oh, no!" But when the little man had gone she broke down and sobbed. "I am jealous," she told Meredith. T am dreadfully, dreadfully Jealous." "And yet you won't marry me." "No." "You want me to marry a woman I don't care for, to whom I am engaged simply because I had known her all my life and had drifted into it, and you want to make me miserable and to make her miserable Just because you are afraid it will be dishonorable ior me to go back on mv word?" "But she loves you, and she isn't strong." . Ills face softened "No; she isn't strong, and she has a sweet nature. If I had never met you I should have Jogged along with her and there would have been no heights of happiness. I should have dwelt al ways m tne plain. He stopped abruptly. "But what is the use of thinking about that? It's our last day together, Margaret Let us forget everything but that we are together." "Then we'll ride," she said. "I'll go back to the house and jret mv habit and we will go over the hills and far away He stuffed his letters into his rocket "You haven't read hers," Margaret re minded him "Another time," he said briefly, and tney went to get ready, Their ride that day was a thing to live in a man's memory. The hillsides were glowing in russet and orange ana green. The lake as they passed it was as blue as a sapphire, and the blackbirds were flocking in the golden neias. - - Thar talked little, but they lived Intensely In those few hours. Now and then she ventured a little plan for his future or for hers. But he would stop her always, and then he would urge their horses on and on until they went like the wind. At last twilight came, and they stopped at a wayside inn for supper. They ate little. "I can't," Margaret whispered when he insisted. "I am thinking of tomorrow." When the waiter came with their bill Meredith, reaching for his pocketbook, brought out with it the unopened letter of the morning. As it lay on the table Margaret studied the postmark. "How does it happen," she asked suddenly, "that she is in New York? I thought you were to meet her in Denver." He caught the letter out of her hand. "New York?" he repeated and tore & Guarantee Co.

It open.

As he read his face changed, whitened and was suddenly illumined. "Margaret," he said, with a quick intake or breath, "Margaret!" . "What is it?" she asked, starts" "Helen is married to some one she met this summer. Across the table they stared at aoh other, stunned by this sudden fulfill ment of their hearts desire. Meredith, catching curious eyes upon them m "Come," he said abruptly; "we must go. The stars were out as thev mounts their horses, and the road lay like a suver path before them. In the darkness Meredith leaned over and drew to him the lady of his heart. "Dear," he whispered tensely, "it is we road to happiness Check Your Passion. An old man was once walking with a little boy. They came across four snruDs. The old ian said to his youthful companion: "Pull up the feast one." He obeyed with ease. "Now the next." He obeyed, but it did not come so easily. "And the third." It took all his strength to move its roots, but he succeeded. "Now the fourth." In vain the lad put forth all his, strength. He only made the leave tremble. He could not move the roots They had gone strongly into the earth, and no effort could dislodge them. Then the wise old man said to the ardent youth: "This, my son, is Just what happens with our passions. When they are young and weak one may by a little watchfulness over self and the help of a little self denial easily tear them up, but If we let them cast their roots deep into our souls there is no human power can uproot them. For this reason, my child, watch well over the first movements of your soul and study by acts of virtue to keep your passions well In check." Reading In Bed. Reading in bed, like most luxuries, can be overdone. In fact, there seems to be only one excuse for this fascinating way of ending the day. Certain people find that their worries accumulate in their brains after bedtime. Their nerves are at high tension, and their minds are actively at work trying to solve problems that should have been left behind In the city. Going to bed with the brain in such a state means that with nothing to dis tract the thoughts, hearing nothing and seeing nothlns in the dnrknpna Imagination has full sway and hours or wakefulness may be the result. Such a man, we think, will find half an hour's reading in bed a great help. With careful attention naid to tha quality and position of the lieht bo that without flickering It shines over the shoulder and directly on to the page the much maligned habit of read ing in bed has sometimes a verv henificlal effect on a tired and overwakeful brain. Family Doctor. A Considerate Bride. "The most considerate slrl I ever knew got married resterdav." said the man. "She showed her thoughtfulness in a most unusual way. The day before the wedding she called the atten tion of the rest of the family to a row of old shoes standing In a downstairs closet "I want you to throw these after the carriage,' she said. 'They are all mates. I collected them to throw away. I learned some time aeo thatcertain poor souls who have hard work. to get clothes of any description keep a lookout for big weddings. Thev hang around the house at going away time and pick up the good luck shoes. Maybe they get a fit, and maybe thev don't. Anyway, I've done all I could to accommodate them. "'Here are six pairs of decent shoes to be fired after me. If sombodv doesn't get fitted in that collection it isn't my fault' "New York Times. Met Their Match. Three students at one of the leadin colleges determined to play a trick on one of the professors. For a week they collected all kinds of bugs and finally had gathered a large number of them. Selecting a half dozen of the most uniformly sized, they took them apart; then they glued a leg of one. a head of another, a hodv of a third, etc., until they'had a per fectly made body of a bug. and a verv funny one. Next day -when the bug was drv thev took it to the professor. "We found it an hour aro." said th spokesman, "In the back field. It is very queer, and we thought you could tell us the name of it." 'So I can." said the nrofessor nftor he had looked at it. "It is a species of Humbug." rhlladelimia Ledger. The Mathematical Mind. A literary worker who wished to do a large amount of reading by proxy advertised for an assistant capable of digesting the contents of a tremendous quantity of books In a very short while. While weighing each aDDlicant's qualifications for rapid assimilative reading he inquired carefully into his mathematical acquirements He finally chose the man who waa most skillful at untangling arithmetical problems. "On the surface that seems an unnecessary accomplishment In this case," he said, "but experience has taught me that anybody who is exnert In figures can read any kind of litera ture put before him with create r ac curacy and speed than the person lack ing in mathematical acumen.

Bartlett Notwithstanding the adln wheat market, ' we are unable to buy any wheat to come here except at a prohibitive premium over the futures. Ware & Leland Should any declines In wheat be witnessed we think that they will prove of short order and should be availed of to buy on. We would favor taking on the futures in corn. Clement-Curtis We would rather sell than buy wheat until something more bullish than the poor condition of the winter wheat comes forth. Prlngle We advise standing by the long side of wheat and corn and ad vise purchases of May on a scale. Logan We believe wheat a purchase on a dip of this kind. Finley There Is absolutely nothing on the surface which can be construed as bullish, therefore the bulls will .be forced to increase their load In order to prevent a further setback in values for wheat. We feel that purchasers of corn, especially on reactions will ultimately show handsome profits. Chicago Wheat opened about steady on the average but turned easy on a little scattered selling of December and comparatively little buying support. Logan Bryan bought a little May; trade slow. Corn opened a shade easier on scattered commission selling; Armour bought a little December. Oats opened a shade off and dull; trade scattered and of no Individuality.

In this part of BoUria there are no growing trees and wood is bo difficult to procure that even the ordinary household furniture of the natives is inrariably made, not of wood, but of dried mud, or adobe, as it is called. vnen tne war broke out in 1880 be tween Chile and Bolivia this material was used to construct pillars to take the place of ordinary posts for supporting telegraph wire, with the addition of old bot ;Jes as insulators. These pillars were subsequently built on stone foundations and measured about five feet square at the base, with a height of about 15 feet. They were placed at intervals of about 361 feet. and thus held the wire at a height sufficient to clear the only animals of the country, the lama and donkey. The total length of the line was 156 miles and it rendered useful service for some ten years before being replaced by a wooden telegraph-pole line. Business on the Clyde Good. Contracts to the aggregate of 120,000 tons were placed in October with Clyde shipbuilders, this being the lar gest total for two years. Three months, however, must elapse before the work people can benefit. A good deal of naval work is on the tapis. British shipbuilders have either the prospect of becoming busier or are laying in stocks of material against a probable rise. New York Journal of Commerce.
