in the . comparison than she cared to
"admit. '. .

lived in tho samo boase for fifteen
* years- Betta was the daughter of ono

-Sf hen ber mother died. Benben was
. naarly-tbirty then, and hardly noticed
the girl of ?title m?.re than half his
r^geytmt to" Mrs." Glent the girl was a'
deliverance. The cashier's mother
'. would hear no word against her boy,
hut he was stern and moody, and she
longed for sunny episodes. Betta
brought them with - her laughing face
and odd ways. She wound herself
? round Mrs. Glent's heart in
.week, but made no impression on the
sterner article owned by Benben.
' '?Once dr twice" during the years that
- passed tho' old lady had hinted to Ben
hen that he ooula. not remain single
all his life, and that there was a tidy
. wife m the house for tbe asking. ' She
was a prudent woman Bonbon's
?mother, and did not los?' sight of the
faot that Betta was the mistress of two
. thon sand pounds" well invested. /The
r circumstance was brbnght periodically
before tha.oasbier in a practical man
ner,: for he was ?he girl's trust?e; but
he-"dealt" with* ber- dividend?^'?sphe
d?alt with-a'check* for wages:* ^.Senti
ment was'as far distant from*"the
.transaction as the stars. ;
As time went on Reuben's mother
gave "ap ber pro jo ct.with a sad heart,
for. she loved the . girl, ?ndkne.wliow
trne a husband her son would be. She
even, suggested other ".'matrimonial
. projects', but the girl woold have none]
of them, saying that she wasn't of th e
nrarrying. sort.. She laughed when
she said it,. hut the face seemed
-older. There were lines under the
eyes and about tbe mouth that should
not have been there, for she woe little
more than a girt.
"It's lor Beuben, I'll take my oath,"
the old lady silently protested with a
touoh o'f bitterness; "tbe poor lass is j
wasting her heart ior bim."
i Mrs. .Glent bad long been weaken
ing before the winter came on, and j
3h ^attack of "bronchitis in the cold)
ays developed with startling rapid
ity into a fatal illness. Betta nursed
. her like an angel. Benben was awed
by tho girl's devotion, and spoke rev
erently to uer. AU through the diu
rnal time of the death and the funeral,
he treated her as if she were as close
?b$h?B mother as himself, and whe? j

Benben" took Betta to the Baptist]
Chapel on Sundays, and to an occa
sional conoerY at the Co-operative |
flail; The ? big office staff of the
enormous..tia works formed almost ]
all the society of the place, and Betta
was Invited with Beuben to dinner at I
the secretary's bouse just as she had-j
been before.Mrs. Glent's death, and
acted as lady of the house when re
tarn feasts were given. For the rest,
she and Beub?n saw little of each
Other except at table. Beuben had
bis local golf club, his gas and water j
investments, bis school board work
to look after in tho evenings. Betta
had nothing. The ladies of Beubon's
acquaintance did not encourage her
when .they were apart. She sat in
doors mending things, dusting the
piano'she seldom played, and growing
older. No complaint about ber lot
over passed ber lips or met Bonbon's
eyes ?in hers... Ber ene thought.in
life was his comfort, her one desire to
Anticipate his oveiy wish.
Benben'B awakening came on a day
when tho town* waavpting for a county
council vacancy.. -Bonbon was on the
committee or ono of the candidates,
and drovo hero and .there about the
streets and roads in his own dogcart
with the gante old mare, for he was a
man of substance, and might h?ve
left his office: 4eak any moment if .lie
bad felt so inclined. Driving was not
one of bis strong points, which tbe'old
mart knew-very well, and each time
be eroaecd. the narrow canal bridge^
leading to" tho" tin mill house, Betta.j
trembled to.see how,closely he shaved
the low^parapet. He was a weighty I
man, Benben, and not the sort to be
thrown irom a cart and never feel it.
. .- ^'ijo be more careful, .Benben, "she
timidly :sngge3teit. "You wonldu't
look up again if you touohsd the side
and tarnod over there."
Beabea wh is tied i a patiently ant

. r She* lay with -her head "and ara
-hanging over t?e-parap?v senseless.
-.Late that night tho doctor came oui
o? tho room to -which Retta, had beeu
.carried, and-said that she had re
covered consciousness.
Reuben heard the news eagerly.
.^Is there any permanent injury?"
,b$ asked. :
-^Ehe. doctor looked serious. -
"I fear so," h?repled. "Her spine
is injured, .-^our weight forced her
roughly against the sharp stone edge.
To tell you the truth,- Glent, I have
not much hope that she will ever rise
again. Bat go in and see her.:. She
is calling for you."
\ Beabea entered the room with o
gentler step and look than he- hod
borne for many, a dav. The maid-ser
! vant, working with thebaridog?s, eyed
.bim reproachfully. A neighbor's wife
rose from the bedside and placed her
fingers to her lips. Beuben did not
"notice fier. His eyes were all for the
white-faced worr ;;i whose eyes were
fixed on him. She was smiling
Heaven help him, he had killed her
and ?fie was smiling to' him !
T^Betta!"' '
"Yes, Beuben"-the answer came
faintly.
"I am so sorry, Betty. Are you in
pain?*'
"Alittle, Beub-but-I saved you."
"She has always been saving yon,
if yon but knew, said th? visitor,
grimly; "women get little thanks for
doing the like of that."
" You'll be up and about soon, Betta,
no doubt," Reuben continued.
- Betta shook her head weakly.
. "ito, Beuben, you'll wanta new
housekeeper."
:.^Then. a, strange thing happened.
Over the face of the precise, hard man,
who had never, known before, what
emotion was, there swept a wave bf
sh??aed gratitude. His eye, ?ow moist
for the first Jame si?o? -"childhood,
lighted on Betta's face with anew pur
pose. Before the women in the room
could realise* what he waa doing; he
.had'shrik down by the bedside, and,
glacing Ms hand on th> sufferer's
row,'whispered in a voice of intense
earnestness
'INever, Betta- You |and you alqne.
li's riot too late to marry, dear. Afoot
or obed-you'U be my wife. You have
given up your strength -and comfort
for/ me, Betta. What else there is of
my life is all for you."
Beuben kept his word, and there
never was such a wedding in town be
fore. Betta did not leave her bed
again, bat the constant devotion of
her husband made each pang a bless
ing. " _
T?*o TValklnc Sign Carriers.
A while ago there appeared in the
city streets a man in the garb of a
.countryman, as be is . pictured and
described, carrying an alligator
mouthed valise, of a kind once used.
His attire drew 'attention, abd as
people looked him over, they saw the
sign that was painted on the valise.
This man walked around the streets
in the neighborhood of his employer's
['store, and occasionally. he would get
around to the place itself, sod halt
there on the sidewalk and look np at
I the sign, to make sure it was the right
place, arid then go in; to emerge pres
ently for another round.
A variation of thia idea is found in
the.work of the countryman who stops
and looks np at the tall buildings. He
is tall himself, and so - attracts at ten
tions and his interest in the tall build
ing always interests tho city man; and
so the oily man looks the toll ^traqger
over, or looks down along him, from
head to foot,.as he stands -there with
face upturned, and botes the peculiari
ties of his garb, and secs how the bot
tom leg of one of his" trousers is
caught on tho top of one of his boot
legs-for this, stranger.wears old-timo
boots. - Thea the city man's eye falls
on the'sign which the stranger is so
innocently holding. And the oity
man passes on, thinking as he goes
that after all, he is, in. some respects,
more or less of a countryman himself.

when the poet was in his eightieth

"There seems good reason to infer
that substantially tho entire southern
half of this large peninsula (on which
Cape Nome is sitnated), covering moro
than 8000 or 10,000 square miles, is
gold-bearing, and much of it rich. It
lies in the ?nkon gold belt, extending
from the Klondike westward, and
probably contiunes across Bering Sea
into Siberia." So writes F. 0. Schr?der
of tho United States Geological Sur
vey, one of two experts sent ont by
the Government last fall to report
upon tlie Capo Nome gold district, of
whose wonders rumor had been heard
in "Washington. Mr. Schr?der gives
a brief account of his trip in the latest
number of the National Geographic
Magazine, and has also addressed tho
National Geological Society on the
same subject*; Tho reports brought
back by bim anti other explorers, like
Lieutenant Jarvis of the revenue ent

opened district, over the national
ownership of which lhere is p? dis

The Cape Nome district is situated
on the northwest coast of Alaska, the

extending westward toward Siberia,
between Kotzebue and Norton Sounds,
and largely separating Bering Sea
from tho Arctic Ocean. From Capo

Along the beach tho gold is as fine as
bird shot or finer. Its occurrence is
mostly nndor two .or threo feet of
gravel and sand, on tho bottom layer
of clay or argillaceous sand, called by
tho minora "bedrock." Thin layerst
of ruby sand interstratiSed with the
gravel near the "bedrock" are often
found to be rich. The production of
the region for the season just past is
estimated at 32,000,000, of which the
beach contributed one-half. Two
claims alone are credited with $225,
"000 between them, while "one gulch is
said to have yicldod moro thau $200,
ooo.
In the gulches mining is carried on
by stripping, alucing, and lo some ex
tent, by rocking, but on the beach
almost exclusively by rooking. In
the latter process the sea water is
used, the gold being caught in blank
cts, and to some extent on copper
plates coated with mercury.. ' Where
copper-plate was lacking, the- bottom
of the rocker has been covered with
silver coin, coated with" mercury.'

This country ?H cheerless, and not

Klondike there is growing timber Tor
building houses, constructing sluice
works, furn ishiug a part of the neces

noue, and every board, beam aud post
must be brought'from elsewhere. The
sea is open, however, from ?orrie iirhe

some rough idea may be gleaned of
the extent to which esternal transpor

Aguinaldo was born at Cavite Viejc
thirty years ago. His father, DOD
Carlos, was a truok farmer of the na
tive class, but rose to some importanct
among his fellows, and was thrice
elected Mayor of Cavite. Aguinaldo'f
education was of the most limited

kind. For a year or two he attended
the school of Santo Tomas, in Manila,
but the death of his father called him
to Cavite, where he took up tho work
of the farm., Here he soon made him
self prominont and troublesome by his
connection with the Katipnnan
League, organized by Rizal against
the friars. The Governor-General, to
win his sympathies, appointed him
captain municipal of Cavite in 1895.
Aguinaldo's mentor and tutor in the
art of revolutions was Andres Boni
facio, a schoolmaster of Cavite, and
tho original conspirator in the revolu
tion against the Spanish. Bonifacio
influenced Aguinaldo to join the revo
lution of '96, acquainting him of the
intention of the Spaniards to secretly
murder all the members of the Kati
punan. Thereupon Aguinaldo, grasp
ing the opportunity of leadership, had
Bonifacio secretly killed, and placed
himself at the head of the movement
against the Spanish. The Spanish
drove Aguinaldo to the mountains,
but ultimately compromised with him.
His career from then till now is enr
rent news. Aguinaldo is not a pure
Tagalog. His maternal grandfather
was a Chinaman.
AGUINALDO'S FATHER-IN-LAW.
Aguinaldo's wife is a Chinese
Mestiza, and made herself conspicu
ous iu the revolutionary army by
organizing a ''Bed Cross" hospital
corps, and placing herself at the head
of it. She was captured by American
troops recently and is now a prisoner
in Manila.

to order through tho ADVEBTISEB. This paint has a thick heavy
body so that buyers can add Linseed oil and make the paint go
further, and save money, as the oil will cost about fifty cents a gallon.
Write to tho company telling them what colors you want and how
much, and price will be given. The paint contains the best material
and a guarantee goes with every can, barrel and package of paint.
