Dolores' heart was so sick, everything was so dark tor the moment she could not see or think clearly, but she remembered with stinging distinctness. What shall I do?" she cried, what shall I do? If he should die if he should die before I have asked him to forgive me I cannot live I could not live, I tell you, and let him die believ- ing that We will be in time, dear, he said, quietly, and she did not question it, scarcely heard the more kindly name, though the horror somehow fell away from her heart and a silence and full despair mingled with an indefinite hope rested upon her. Not another word was uttered until they were standing at the door of the hospital. Dolores asked brokenly as she clung to his arm, unable to stand Alone for the moment: You are sure sure we are in wine from a glass on a stand near, and pressed It to her lips. Drink it, he said sternly, and she obeyed him mechanically. Young Green came and stood at the back of her chair, as though to shield her from any more of lifes strain, any more of the sadness that had followed her, nay, even to death. His friend, seeing the expression of his face, laid his hand gently on his arm in sudden But Dolores hands lay comforting. In her lap like two hands of ice. She herself seemed turning into Ice with no power of feeling or thought or wish. She seemed to herself in a strange half sense to have died when her father died. CHAPTER XXII. But Life Went On.

We will need you in the morning, but you can do nothing tow and would only tire yourself to no use. We will call you when it is necessary." But I cannot sleep I cannot rest until I have seen my father, Dr. Dunwiddie. May I not at least speak to 'him?" I must say no. Miss Johnson. No. Your father is quiet and in a half doze; should you see him now he would be too weak to talk to you, and it would be worse than useless. Dolores did not think of resting or sleeping with the great weight of her Injustice to her father upon her mind, but the woman who entered with them at the orders of tne doctor to see that the girl should rest quietly, removed her things and induced her to lie down for a moment any way, and she slept until a light tapping on her .door awoke her. standing at the little window in their She answered the rap, a tremor in parlor looking out upon the ' busy her voice, her thoughts confused and street.

Miss Dora, but it is the only thing that can be done, and is true kindness.

The lightness that had made him such a oily comrade had given place to a quiet humor that made him a charmShe had guessed, ing companion. watching him, interested in him, loving Dolores as she loved her she guessed of the thought he had for her, and she honored him loving such a girl as this grave cousin of hers, this girl so slightingly spoken of among her own neighbors because of her utter height above them, this girl whom her father had hated with his narrow hatred, this girl the personification of womanliness and truth and purity. Dolores turned from the window at his approach, and a sudden sharp sense of everytn.ng that had gone, that must come in the everything future, struck her like a knife. She turned to him with a bitter cry, holding out her hands as though for help: He is dead! she cried, and the watching girl in the doorway felt the hot tears rush to her iye3 at sound or the agonizing voice and the agaony on the lifted pallid face. He is dead, and he does not know I am sorry he can never know now.

Supplemental dispatches indicate that the fight at Mo Tien Lin pass on July 4 was a desperate affair. A majority of the Japanese injured were wounded by bayonets. The Russians surrounded the outposts of the Japanese, who fought until relief came. The Russians left 53 dead and 40 wounded upon the field. The Japanese lost 19 killed and 38 wounded. It is believed that the Russians sustained greater losses duiing the pursuit than in the action. On July 4th two battalions of Russians attempted to break through the Japanese cutposts at the northern entrance of Mo Tien Pass. Before daylight they surrounded an outpost of eighty men at the foot of a hill and charged the trench above. A bloody encounter with bayonets lasting a quarter of an hour ensued. The Russians attacked the trench three time3, but were driven up the valley by a Japanese reinforcement, leaving many dead and wounded. hand-to-han- Charles Dickens Settlement. Rev. W. H.

The temperature of young chickens Is about 100 degrees and that of angle worms 60 The angle worms will not degrees. live at the temperature of chickens. I wish to tell you how to prevent Last year at the expiration gapes; of the setting season I had three hens bring off broods on the same day. But in place of removing them to the chicken yard' I let them remain In the shed. At the expiration of the first week I removed one of the hens and at the expiration of the second week I removed the second hen, leaving the third hen with 37 chickens. I let them remain there till they were eight weeks old and did not lose one. They were all healthy and in good condition. I always kept pure water In a shallow dish before them and also fed them wheat. As the shed was in the corner of the garden, all the weeds they would eat I threw In to them. For the place to set my hens I have a shed 12 by 24 feet in size. The boards used to inclose this were 1 by 10 inches and were put on green, without battens.

CAR JUMPED TRACK. Fifteen Hundred Hunting Homes. When the government registration hooks for entry on the Rosebud Indian reservation in South' Dakota were opened Tuesday there were about 1,500 people waiting in line. Wet and streaming under the hot sun, the homeseekers, many of whom had remained in line all night during a rainstorm, sat on the ground and played cards and ate lunches, which they purchased from vendors passing up and down the line. Many of thorn s f were women. J. S. Barnes of York City was the first man to bo registered. Two Men Dead and Fifteen Injured as Result of Accident. A Short Line passenger car from a train westbound from Colorado Springs to Cripple Creek, Colo., jumped the track near Cameron, eight miles from Cripple Creek, and was overturned. Two passengers were killed and fifteen wounded. This is the first accident on the road since it was put in operation three and a half years ago. The accident Is said to have been due to carelessness in witching the car. Tornado in Illinois Physique of the Cow. There is something wanted in the dairy cow besides tbe ability to give milk if that cow is a breeder. At one of our experiment stations there is a cow with a big udder and a big record as a butter producer. Yet that cow seems to be weak in all the functions of life except the ability to change food Into milk and butter-fat- . In comparing a number of cows, a professor remarked to the writer on the great ability of this cow to produce milk, but said also that if she got stuck in the mud and tumbled down she was not able to get up again without assistance. It was his opinion that such a cow should not be used as a breeder. In this, his opinion agrees with ours. A good constitution and physical force should be transmitted with the ability to produce milk. In fact, it is not probable that such a cow as we have described could continue to give milk profitably except when carefully protected and carefully fed an-dhighly favorable conditions. Her ability to rustle is wanting. er St Paul Controls Her Milk Supply. The health commissioner of SL Paul, Minn., has determined to exclude tuberculous milk from that city and has put in force a rule that no milk can be sold there unless it is supplied from a herd that has beentest-e- n for tuberculosis. He says that tha men inside the city limits that manu- facture milk have to submit to the rule requiring the testing of their herds and he does not see any reason why men outside the city should be allowed to send in milk from tuberculous herds to compete with the milk known to be free from such taint. This is probably the best way to enforce the testing of the herds. The boards of health of other cities will watch with a good deal of Interest this attempt of the St. Paul board to force a testing of herds. English cheese buyers are com' plaining loudly against the practica by the Americans and Canadians of We have parafining their cheeses. found the practice a good one on this side of the water, but the retailers of this cheese say that It loses weight by evaporation very rapidly after being cut and that they lose in this way not less than two pounds in weight per cheese. This is doubtless true, as parafining keeps the cheese front losing moisture while earing. |
