The softened color and gentle j expression disappeared from her face; she drew her hands away from Dora's clinging fingers; she pushed back the hair that had slipped down on her forehead. Then the deputies had been searching for her father. That was what those men were there for that morning when they stopped and asked of her where he was. And if those men of the law came for him when he was not there, when every one knew that he was not there, and sought for him over on the opposite mountain among its dangers, would they not come at any time for him to prove their case? Might they not even insist upon taking him over to the town in spite of his condition? Unconsciously her fingers closed over the flowers in her lap, crushing them "The deputies? relentlessly, t Two soft hands released the flowers, and as Dora wiped away the red stains of the blossoms from her cousins hands, she said, with a sweet laugh; "Dolores, what is the matter? See what you have done to the poor, pretty flowers you have killed them; their blood is on your hands, and your hands have stained mine. The effect of her words on Dolores was startling. She drew away her hands sternly and arose to her feet, clutching the door poet to steady herself; her face was white, and her eyes wide and terrified. Young Green, returning from up' the mountain, heard Doras last words and turned away with a face as pallid as Dolores', Dora arose quickly, and clasped her hands around her cousin's arm, raising her sweet, penitent face to hers. "Dolores, Dolores, I did not mean that 1 was only joking I could not have meant it I would not have said such a thing for the world I forgot you were not used to me, and The words ended in a violet fit of that racked the slender coughing frame pitifully. Raising her handkerchief to her lips she sank upon the step. Young Green entered' the house unnoticed and spoke to Mrs. Allen, who came out at once and sat down beside Dora, placing her arm around her with low, tender words of comfort. Young Green came out with a cup of water, and Mrs. Allen thanked him with a grateful glance, but as she took it and placed it to Doras lips she glanced at Dolores, and her glance was full of hate; while young Green himself for the moment dared not meet her eyes for fear of betraying what was in his mind and heart. Will she lie down and rest? asked Dolores, presently, still standing at a distance from her, speakng as though her lips were stiff At sound of her voice Dora opened her eyes slowly and looked up at her with a faint smile; but Mrs. Allen, without replying, motioned to Charlie, who, understanding her wish, crossed over to the bedroom and tapped lightly on the door. Dr. Dunwiddie opened it at once, and after a whispered word or two he went out to the girl, while young Green entered the quiet room. Johnson lay in a stupor among the pillows, his sunken eyes closed, L,s cruel lips apart, showing the discolored teeth within; his short white beard was coarse and thin, and lent additional repulsiveness to the narrow face. The young man stood at the bedside looking long and earnestly at the face of the other, until the expression of wonder and horror slowly gave place to one of pity. "Poor fellow,he said to himself; "poor fellow! Surely he has suffered enough already; why not leave him in peace to God and his conscience; Forgive as ye would be forgiven. Friend, go in peace. Truly, 1 have ned of forgiveness, and should not pull down the bridge over which I myself must pass. But how such a woman as she could have come from such a nature as his is a problem. girl, how she My poor, tender-heartesuffered just now and 1 could do nothing!. Dr. Dunwiddie meanwhile went out to the group in the sunny doorway. His grave, dark face was full of kindness as he bent over the frail girl, and spoke to Mrs. Allen. "She must lie down at once, he said, "and be kept perfectly quiet for a d I Did Not Mean That No, you must not walk, as she attempted to rise. Allow me. Miss "Dolores, while. Johnson. He raised her in his arms as though she were in truth a child, and carried her to the settle between the south windows. She did not speak until Mrs. Allen brought her beef tea and fed her with tender care; then, half rising among the pillows, whiter than they, she asked faintly with a wlstful-nes- s inf her eyes that sent an angry pang through the womans heart: "Where is Dolores Nurse Allen? I you do wtth no church, nor schools, nor anything? And Dolores, driven at last to speak, asked methanically: "Why should we have a church, and what is a church? want-- , Dolores. Mrs. Allen called sharply in a voice taat caused Dora to look up at her in Wonder: Come in at once, Dolores; Dora wishes you. Dr. Dunwiddie hearing the words and catching sight of the womans face, crosesd the room and spoke to Dolores, his voice low with kindness. She started when he addressed her, and turned obediently with one swift, Btartied glance up into his face, and entered the room half hesitatingly. Dora put out her hand as she crossed the room. "Dolores! she said, entreatingly. Dr. Dunwiddie turned quickly away and entered the inner room where his friend was waiting for him. By and by, when she was better, Dora sat up among the pillows, and drew Dolores down beside her, holding her hands caressingly between her own, smoothing the tense, slender fingers now and then with pathetic tenderness as though to atone or soften her careless, wounding words. . 'Kg- -, "It Is So Beautiful There. She leaned her pure, pale face against the gray window casing that the soft, low wind with its subtle odor of pines should blow upon her. Her large gray eyes, grown black with a . half shy love and pleading, rested on her cousins grave face. And she did not know that the slender shred of pale blue ribbon lay safely hidden in the depths of the doctors pocket as he the sick room beyond. They talked long there at the cool south window, she, smaller girl, holding her cous.us hands closely in hers, telling her .of the world beyond the chained mountains, of the life that throbbed and pulsed out of her sight. Dolores listened in silence, wondering more and more how this girl could care to love her, could care to have her for her cousin. We will paint together, Dolores, she said, and sew and play. You shall sing and I will accompany you on my guitar, and you shall sing and accompany yourself, for the guitar will Just suit your voice; and how you would look in an old gold gown with warm colored roses about you, playing a guitar, its broad ribbon across your shoulders, your eyes Just as they are now. Oh, such a soul as there is in them at this minute, Dolores Johnson! The men will love you, and the women must. Dolores, Dolores, I cannot wait I wish I might take you right now. She paused, breathless, smiling, sitting erect, holding Dolores by her two young arms, her sweet face flushed with excitement. Dr. Dunwiddie At that moment opened the bedroom door and spoke to Mrs. Allen, and she entered with him, young Green coming out. Dora flushed as she saw him, and she aroused from the settle, shaking her head sunnily. Mr. Green, I beg your pardon for detaining you I do, Indeed. Truly, I did not think. He smiled reassuringly at her. "It has been pleasant to me. Miss Johnson so pleasant that I had forgotten the case on at eleven at home. It is now ten minutes of that hour, and if you will pardon my leaving you I will send the carriage for you at any time you name. Dolores did not move or speak. The case on hand. Her ears seemed sharp to catch and hold such sentences. These words only were clear, the rest were distant and jumbled. Even when be spoke to her she seemed Incapable of hearing or replying. That her silence was caused by anything he said he did not imagine, but he was growing accustomed to her silence. I wish I could stay with you always, Dora said softly when the young man had gone, "but I cannot leave father. Dolores, you know. You do not blame me, I am sure. And I will come over every day or whenever I can. Father would have come over with me this morning, but Judge Green wished him to be in court They have a strange case on hand,' and I am so interested in it; arent you, Dolores? About the laming of young Mr. Greens beautiful mare, you know? I believe they have some new evidence to be heard this morning. Young Mr. Green was to have been there early to attend to some Important matter before court opened, and here I have detained him. Still Dolores did not move or speak. In a vague manner the thought presented itself to her that one of the marble gods Dora had been telling her about could scarcely be more like stone than she, and she wondered, too, in that strange half sense if these marble men and women were capable of suffering as human men and women? And Dora continued in her low voice, rising and pulling Dolores by the hand for her to follow. "Let us go out of doors, cousin mine; it is so beautiful there with the I feel as pines and the mountains. though God were very near in the silence of the hills, and to be alone with silence is to be alone with God; but I think he is somehow nearer in the hearts of his humanity. You have not even a church here, Dolores. Why, XIX. Mm THE WORLDS BEST WRITERS Time's Developments. Johnson slowly recovered; the days passed, and the weeks, while he lingered weak and complaining. Dolores presence annoyed him, and drove him to fits of temper, until Dr. Dunwiddie advised her to remain away from him as much as possible. Dr. Dunwiddie regularly drove over to see Johnson once a week, and Mrs. Allen remained in the low, nnpalnted house in the miast of its desolate garden, filling the rooms with her presence, but daily growing more hardened toward the quiet girl who was winning Dora's affection away from her, she told herself, in excuse for her unfriendly feeling, but the girl herself, buried in other thoughts, believed it was from the kindness of her heart that she talked to her so often during the long evenings of the life outside of the quiet settlement and of the manners she would there be expected to copy, and sne accepted in silence th many words of advice as to her lack of pride in allowing young Green tc see so clearly her feelings toward him, and the cautioning uttered with s kindly smile or soft touch on her arm against allowing herself to be so influenced by almost an utter stranger who was kind to her only out of pity, and who could never care for her other than as the merest acquaintance, she, the daughter of the blacksmith who was waited for to prove the malice in the laming of his mare. The woman knew well the stories adrift in the settlement that had somehow come to her she scarcely knew how herself, and of the girl's dread of what might follow the proving of the case waiting in the town for her fathers presence. That the girl had never done her harm to cause this feeling of hatred she would not believe. Had she not won Dora's heart in a fashion she could never do? Could she accept this unmurmuringly? Was there nothing she could do to hurt the girl in Dora's eyes? And if that were impossible and she soon learned that it was was it impossible for her to wound the girl herself in every way conceivable to a narrow mind. .(To be continued.) FRENCH WOMAN IN TROUBLE. Her Artificial Nose a Source of Much Annoyance. Paris washerwoman living in the Rue Riquet finds herself in a strange predicament. Two years ago she had a quarrel with her husband, who struck her on the nose with such violence as to break it. The woman went to the hospital, and after some months of treatment came out with a new nose. Since then peace has reigned in the household, but the other morning she discovered to her consternation that a growth of hair was developing on the new organ. It grew thicker day by day, and caused great amusement to the neighbors. In her distress she went to the local commissary of police and stated that she wished to get a divorce from her husband, whose brutality was the original cause of the ridicule to which she was exposed. She also told him that to make the new nose a portion of a human scalp had been used, which sufficiently accounts fpr the growth of hair. The commissary could only refer the woman to the courts.

The light is not needed for the printing of photographs is a discovery which has been made by Dr. Oswald, professor of chemistry in the University of Leipsic. He produces the required changes in the sensitized paper by the use of silver on negatives treated with a solution of peroxide of hydrogen. The presence of silver causes the elements of the solution to react against each other. In a very short time in those places where there is silver in the negative the solution will disappear; in the other spots remain.
