Show r g MARCH OF THE WHITE GUARD By SIR GILBERT PARKER (Copyright, IMS, ojr R. F. Fen no A Co.) CHAPTER X Continued. Jaspar Hume looked steadily into the eyes of the man who had wronged him: Remember, Varre, you begin the world again. I am going now. By the memory of old days, good-by- , and he held out ljis hand. Varre Lepage took it and rose tremblingly to his feet, and said, You are a good man, ' Jaspar Hume. Good-by- ! The turned at the door. If it will please you, tell your wife that I saved you. Some one will tell her; perhaps I would rather at least It would be more natural, if you did He passed out into the heat of It. sunshine that streamed into the room and fell across the figure of Varre Lepage, who sat and said dreamily, And begin the world again. Before Jaspar Hume mounted, almost immediately after, to join the White Guard now ready for the journey back, Jacques sprang upon him and pushed his nose against his masters heart. And once again, and for the- - last time that we shall hear it, Jaspar Hume said, Its all right, Sub-fact- the curtain rises for the last act of that drama of life which is connected with the brief histoiy of the White Guard. A great gatherfng is dispersing from a hall in Piccadilly. It has been drawn together to do honor to a man who has achieved a triumph in engineering science. As he steps from the platform to go he is greeted by a fusilade of cheers. He bows cftlinly and kindly. He is a man of vigorous yet reserved aspect; he has a rare individuality. He receives with a quiet cordiality the personal congratulations of his friends. He remains for some time in conversation with a royal Duke, who takes his arm and with him passes into the street. The Duke is a member of this great mans club, and offers him a seat in his brougham. Amid the cheers of the people they drive away together. Inside the club there are fresh congratulations, and it is proposed to arrange an impromptu dinner, at which the Duke will preside. But with modesty and honest thanks the great man declines. He pleads an engagement. He had pleaded this engagement the day before to a society. After his health is proposed he makes his adieus, and leaving the club, walks away toward a West-ensquare. In one of its streets he pauses and enters a building called Providence Chambers." His servant hands him a cablegram. Hq passes to his library, and standing before the fire, opens it. It reads: My wife and I send con gratulations to the great man. Jaspar Hume stands for a moment looking at the fire, and then says simply, I wish my poor old Jacques were He then sits down and writes here. this letter: Your cable"My Dear Friends: gram has made me glad.

Onor Declared There certainly is good reason to suspect that our entire general method of living, so far as differentiation of waking and sleeping hours is concerned, is wrong, but it does not seem as yet to have occurred to the learned men to m,ake the simple 'experiments requisite to the acquirement of exact knowledge, says the North American Review. Any one, of course, can do it to his own satisfaction, but the individual result of an unscientific test would be far from conclusive. An effort by any of our own societies to determine whether there may not be in this simple revolution of hours a panacea for American nerves, would seem to be in order. We would not, of course, anticipate any immediate effect, whatever the result of such experimentation, because human nature is obstinate and long About October First from Our Present Location to No. 235 Main Street, Salt Lake City.

And then they started for the north As they were doing so a again. shadow fell across the sunlight that streamed upon Varre Lepage. He looked up. There was a startled cry of joy, an answering exclamation ,of love, and Rose Lepage was locked in her husbands- - arms. A few moment after and the sweetfaced woman said: "Who was the man who rode away to the north as I came up, Varre? He reminded me of some one, but I cantithink who it is. That was tjA leader of the White Guard, the ni&who saved me, my wife. He paused a moment and then -' Ty?ly said, TIJat man was Jaspar be wife rose to her feet with a He Baved you! He saved spring. you! Jaspar Hume! oh, Varre! He saved me, Rose! Her eyes were wet. And he would not stay and let me thank him! Poor fellow; poor Jaspar Hume! Has he then been up here these ten years? He face was flushed and pain was struggling with the joy she felt In seeing her husband again. Yes, he has been up here all that time. He has not succeeded in life, Varre! and her thoughts went back to the days when, blind and ill, Jaspar Hume went away for healths sake, and she remembered how sorry then she felt for him, and how grieved she was that when he came back strong and well, he did not come near her or her husband, and offered no congratulations. She had not deliberately wronged him. She did not know he wished her to be his wife. She knew he cared for her; but so did Varre Lepage. A promise had been given to neither when Jaspar Hume went away; and after that she grew to love the successful, genius who became her husband. Even in this happiness of hers, sitting once again at her husband's feet, she thought with a tender and glowing kindness of the man who had cared for her eleven years ago; and who had but now saved her husband. He has not succeeded in life, she repeated softly. Looking down at her, his brow burning with a white heat, Varre Lepage said, He is a great man, my wife. I am sure he is a good man, she , added. Perhaps Varre Lepage had borrowed some strength from Jaspar Hume, for he said almost sternly, He is a great man. His wife looked up half startled at the tone and said, Yesf, dear; he is a ' good man and a great man. The sunlight still came in through the open door. The Saskatchewan flowed swiftly between its verdant banks, an eagle went floating away to the west, robins made vocal a solitary tree a few yards away, troopers moved back and forward across the square, and a hen and her chickens came fluttering to the threshold. The wife looked at the yellow brood drawing close to their mother, and her eyes grew wistful. She thought of their one baby asleep in an English grave. But thinking of the words of the captain of the White Guard, Varre Lepage said, We will begin the world again, my wife. She smiled and rose to kiss his forehead as the hen and chickens hastened away from the door, and a clear bugle call sounded in the square. Yes, dear, she said, we will begin the world again. Mrs. H.
