Alice would ;itt whisper to her own tiioUKbts that there had tteen another teacher; that not so easy would have been the b-wm of forget I'll I IHsS Lad not another bs.-on been conned in its stead. It was all & bewildering maze in the little head under the masses of rich hrown hair, with just a Klint of red anuna; them as the sun save them its farewell kiss. But a brighter red fctole. Into the rounded cheek as a well-known step drew nearer, and a shadow for which the apple tree were not responsible was thrown beside hers. "Good evening. Miss Alice." said a cheery voice. "1 thought that I should find you here. The evening is too lovely for indoor life." 'Yes," she answered, "it is very lovely. "As it should be," he added, in lower, more impressive tones, "to grace your presence. Alice," he continued throwing himself on the ground beside her. "shall I tell you why I am so glad to find you here? Because it seems the most fitting place to te'l you something else, which, though you must already know, it is fit that I should put into wonhs. They are poor words, darling. I am not versed in eloquence; and even were I. here eloquence might stammer. But they are words old as the world itself. I love you; I have but one hope in life. and that is. that you will share it. It is not much that I can offer you. dear. Perhaps I should say wait, before I take you from your comfortable home. But yet, why should I. If you love me. you will stand bravely by my side, and we will share whatever storms life May have in store for us. as w? chare its sunshii. Al'ce. what is your answer? Will you be my wife?" Ah, it had come at last. Once tue girl had tried to check the torrent of Lis words. He h i I nit caught the little, detainn.f hand in hiu own strong palm anl leid it ti-j-itly. The small licai i.ad drooped lower. A hört. ga.spin, sub was in her throat, letting no word find its way then'. What was she to do? Two years a?o she had given anMhcr promise; two years cf toil aiei homesickness ha i Leen endured for her sake; but for six months he had heard nothing. IVrlnps Johu lad forgott'u her-as ah. fhc h.rl almost added, "as she had forgotten him." Hut of lohv Deru Dexter knew nothing, and Dent Dexter she loved. So it was, that when, half wondering at her long silence he again :'pated his question, sh simply raised to him the swea, fair face, and contcrt with what he read tnce. be stooped and pressed his fi-.-r kiss upon the young red lip.s. Curiously enough, their wedding day was set for Christmas Day. th? third anniversary of John Maxwell's leave-taking. Dent wanted the event fixed for a nearer date. Alice was persistent. Perhaps she had a special reason for fixinc the time so far ahead. Poor John Maxwell! Maybe she thought of him. In all these weeks she had told him nothing of John. Somehow she could not gather courage to frame the words. And John had forgotten her. He would never know. It was bette? that he should not. Love Is ever Jealous, and he might upbraid her. or think even while he had won her that she micht prove inconstant to htm a.s to her first lover. Some day when she was his wife, his very own. she would whisprr the story into his ear. and then they would bury poor John together. Somebody ha? said it was had lurk for a hrhle to don her wedding dres.

before the wedding daj. It was all nonsense. Alice thought, as later, she stood before her mirror and saw reflected there her own form clad in its white silken robes. Poor .John! She wished she had not thought of him, as she stood in he.' wedding d'css. The air was very heavy tonight. It was this which oppressed her so. "Come in." she called tc the knock at her door. The littie maid entered. "Oil. Miss Alice! law, M;s.. how beautiful you do look. The gentleman is downstairs and wants to see you I tinned iate. Miss." The eiitleman! Of course she meant Dent. She h;id a great mind to run d twr. just as she was. to hear if I.e would echo iiie little maid's verdict, and say that he, too. thought her be uit if, il. The impulse of vanity wjs not to be roisied. and gathering up her siik-n .-kirt.s she ran lightly down ti.e stairs 'i be n.oin was in shadow, the la'-;--. o'il-j';ts!. ione.1 lamp on the fable burni!!., 'üriily! bur sitiinir in i ; oe- o, tii, s;:t.. ;-he saw a man's form, a mat; vho ro.-e imi i uously to hi.- feet .-; eüaWd.

Yes. she knew him now. It was .John, come home to claim her for his very own. HLs voice was very hoarse when he spoke. "I came for my bride." he said. "Is she here? I ihi lies.-, for me " "Have pity." 'ie waiieu, in answer. "Two years were such a long while. For six months I had not heard.

Child, do you know what 1 Lave endured for the lewird of this moment? What w;is hunger, toil. p:ivatio:i. homesickne.s to me? I almost welcomed them, for ever behind them all wüs t hethought that all weie for you, for the day which was siowly. slowly creeping on. when I might stand before you and say: Ali-. I have proved my love with a price. You may accept It, darling, without fear. It las been purified through lire.' And when, six month.-? ago. my crowning success i a me. I slat teil in search of you; hut the long hardships had done their work. Fin months I wa.s at Death's door, unable to write, or to let others writ. Then, when 1 grew stronger I said: l will wait until I can go to her.' You were shelterred, caret for, happy aye, 1 was so mad as to th ink-praying-for me I even thanked God that your prayers had restored my life and reason. I am as the man who toiled all his life in search of a glittering diamond, and when at length he picked it up triumphant, he discovered it to be a piece of shining glass." "John. John! Forgive me," she pleaded, clinging with both hands to his arm. her face upturned in its pale beauty to his. I loved you then. Believe me. I loved you then." Through the open window stole her words, paralyzing the form of an unseen listener, who had at that moment appeared upon the scene. What did it mean ? He heard not the man's answering words "Forgive you? Never!" but saw only his last, mad, passionate eraI brace as he snatched her unresisting form in his arms and covered her fac with kisses which seemed half hatred and half love, then released her and went out Into the nisht. The next day a little note was put into John Maxwell's hand. and. as he tore it open, the strong man trembled like a child. He had grown calmer since the night previous, though all the joy and lightness had died out of his life. "You have had your revenue." she wrote. "The man I was to marry saw you take me In your arms. anl heard me sav that I had loved you. Perhaps I deserved my punishment, but It is very hitter. You left me two years. If you had loved me you would not have don üo. I was a child, and I forgot you and learned to love another. 1 no longer ask you to toigue uie. since you have wreaked upon ine your revenue." His own life sti etched bare and blank and desolate before him. For a moment he felt a wild joy that so bets might prove. The next, after a brief struggle, his manhood conquered. His revenge should be something nobler than a girl s wrecked life -something which, after long and lonely yea is. he might recall without a blush of shame. Dent Dexter was alone in the cottage he had prepared for his bride. Kitting with bowed head, when John Maxwell sought him out. The Interview between them was very brief; but for an instant, as they parted, their hands met in a long, silent clasp. One man had given happiness one had renounced it. So the wedding day was not postponed, but Alice's fingers trembled as she again fastened her wedding dress, and tears dimmed her eye.s as she bent to fasten the orange blossoms in her breast on Christina? I've. She knew that Dent had taken her back to hi - h 'art and home, that somehow all had been explained to him; but quite how it all happened she never knew until, a year later, her husband bent over her where she lay with her baby boy sleeping on her breast, and toll her all the story, ending with a proud glance at the child. "He gave us our happiness, darling. We will name our boy after the man who wreaked on us stich a revenge."

UNABLE TO STAND FOR MONTHS BLCAUSE OF SPRAINED ANKLES.

Cured ly t. Jacob Oil. (From the Cardiff Times.) Among the thousands of voluntary endorsements of the great value of t. .ia.c.b's Oil for sprains, stiffness and soreucs?. is that of Mrs. G. Thomas. 4 Alexandra Road. Oelli. Ysbrod. near Pontypridd. South Wales, who says; "It is with great pleasure that I add my wiling testimony to the invaluable excellence of your celebrated St. Jacobs Oil. as experienced in my own case. I sprained both my ankles in walking down some steps so severely that I was unable to stand for several months. The pain I suffered was most severe and nothing that 1 ucd helped me until 1 applied St. Jacobs Oil. when they immediately became better daily, and in a short time I was able to go about, and soon after I was t-juite cured. I am now determined to advise all persons suffering from pains to use this wonderful remedy, which did so much for me." Mrs. Thomas does not enlighten us as to what treat nunt she pursue.! during the months she was unable to stand, and during which time sh1 was suffering so much, but we venture to suggest that 'had she called in any well-known medical man ho would have at once proscribed St. Jacob-; Oil for it has conquered pain upwards of fifty years, and doctors know there is nothing .-o good. The proprietors of St. Jacob's oil have been awarded twelve gold medals by different international exhibitions as the premier pain-killing remedy of the world. The committees who made the awards were in each instance composed largely of the most eminent medical men obtainable. Mrs. Thomas evidently did not know the high opinion in which St. Jacobs Oil is held by almost every progressive medical man. Flower Culture. Flower culture is no longer looked upon as a mere amusauient nor is it followed merely for the love of the beautiful, and llorisis are lu coming Mower farmers who rai.-e large quantities of perfumes.

Cologne of the finest quality, obtained by soaking the pomade or saturated lard in alcohol, is worth all the way up to $17 a pint. Other perfumes are equally profitable. Memphis Commer cial Appeal. Uerouluio, Geronimo, who has had more crimes laid to him than any other Indian warrior, is a good Indian these days, and leads a quiet and peaceful life. He is now a prisoner at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, and the officers allow him all the privileges possible under the rules governing prisoners of war. Although a prisoner he is paid $33 a month as a government scout, but is not allowed to carry a loaded gun. He has no woik to do, and spends much of his time making bead work and other fancy articles, which he sells to white visitors. Out of this trade, it is said, he makes $2,000 a year. When the old warrior is asked if he has saved any money, he says: "Me no save any money me spend it on squaws and heap gladness." By squaws he means wives, and he has several, but he does not live with any of them, preferring a tent in summer and a grass wickiup in winter. Geronimo is said to be 80 years old. He does not know his age. He was with Victoria when that chieftain went against the Mexitans. -Detroit Free Fress. Siberian Duttcr In England. Siberia has long been sending butter to England, but the opening of the Trans-Siberian railway has made it a far more formidable competitor than it formerly was. Last year the imports of Siberian butter were valued ai JL 1,400,000, and this year it is estimated that they will reach the valm of .CL'.'iOO.OOO. The supply of buttei which Siberia can furnish is said to be practically unlimited, and it is pos sible that the opening of Siberia may affect the dairy industry of these countries as disastrously as the opening up of America affected tin whvat-gruwlitg industry. It is also expected that Siberia will shortly flood the English market with poultry, game and meat. Crop for South Africa. Canada's entire surplus crop of hay and oats ia being marketed this year to the British government for the use of the army in South Africa. An extra fleet of steamers will soon begin transporting this forage to the seat of war.

Rev. Marguerite St. Omer Briggs, 35 Mount Calm Street, Detroit, Michigan, Lecturer for the W. C. T. U., recommends Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound. " Di:ar Mrs. Pixkham : My professional work has for the past twenty years brought me into hundreds of homes of sickness, and I have had plenty of opportunity to witness the sufferings of wives and mothers who from want, ignorance or carelessness, are slowly but surely being dragged to death, principally with female weakness and irregularities of the sex. I belieYe you will be pleased to know that Lydia E. l'iiikham's Vegetable Compound has cured more women than any other agency that has come under my notice. Hundreds of women owe their life and health to you to-day, and, therefore, I can conscientiously adYise sick women to try it."
