IIB bleak stretches of *t m I? browning grass gave a O jj O tinge of sadness to the H $ landscape, anti the hum of ^O?f Innumerable Insects which hart prolonged the summer months v.*cll into the fail were growing fainter r.nd less rhythmic with thc advancing sea son. The crops had been garnered and the approach of frost brought no terror to the farmers, but in some indescriba ble way it affected the nerves of the lonely woman standing before lier rude shack gazing toward tho setthip: sun. Somehow the autumn had always brought a shade of sadness into her life. Even hack in the old New Eng land days-before this horrible night mare had transformed her life-she had experienced the same feeling of de pression. % "I guess it's because I hate to sec things dying." sim explained to her self to stifle hack-ii rising rebellion of sorrow. "The sn m mer vms sliort encngh hark home, hut ont hera it*? all ico short." There was a dreary, homesick ex pression in tile eyes, and through the straggling bair the bronzed forehead showed little initrks of premature wrinkling. Dorothy Wellington in her girlhood days had been termed "come ly,'' a word which just fell short of calling her goo:! looking or handsome. But with time and experience her fea tures had grown harsher and yet with out blotting out a certain sweet ex pression of resignation. Eternal long ing for thc impossible, however, cats out the heart and ambition of thc strongest, and Dorothy was daily find ing her burden more unendurable. "It isn't natural,she confessed to herself many times. "I'd rather give up all and go hack without a cent. 1 could work and make a living. Not in Dnnbary, hut somewhere else-any where except here." It was a strained and unnatural po rtion for a young girl to find herself In, and nothing but a strong, stern sense of duly could hold her to the bargain another day. It was not home on the bleak Oklahoma pl?In. The very quarter section on which they ?ived was hi dispute-. The shae?: which they had built for temporary quarters might not be their own. Across thc "dead lino" there was another shack n second blot on the landscape. To one or tho other tim quarter section be longed, but to which none could say. The slow-moving courts would in time decide, but for tho present there was only an armed truce, and neither side dared venture on tho property of tho Other. Jared Wellington had loft Dunbar? tn fae East to cast his lot with the farly settlers of Oklahoma, and when the rush began ho had been the first to settle cn a desirable quarter section. Eut while he had been busy staking out. the section another had filed a claim to tim same piece of land.' There was a dispute which threatened to end in murder, but-Dorothy had been the means of quieting tim two comba t nnts. They agreed to let 1 ho courts cottle the claim, and meanwhile tho two owners built on. opposite sides of tiie "dead line." which they drew ex actly through the centre of tho quarter section. That was three months ago. and In the. meantime- .Tared Wellington and Henry Egerton had nursed their wraf li In silence while they planted and gath ered their first season's crops. Each bitterly envied tho other tho crops which by right should belong to him. With alert eyes and gun loaded for fictive service, each watched the oilier, determined to exact the full pound [?cement. 1 either . would enemy foot on fug him. He was young and not hard-looking, as she remembered him on that event ful clay when she had interposed to save both from a possible tragedy. But after all it had been a fleeting glimpse of the flushed face and eyes burning with anger and determination. Those were exciting days when man forgot his thin veneer of civilization end displayed his savage origin. The wild rush across the promised line, the fights and struggles to gain possession of the best quarter sections, the fear find lamentations of those who had failed, and tiie awful intensity of the .calm which had prevailed days and weeks before the final word was given to throw open the land to tho cager public-all those pictures were burned on Dorothy's brain so that they seemed like some horrible nightmare. How different it all had been from the quiet New England village where she had been reared. "Why could she not have lived there forever? What right had lier father to tear her from lier home, root and branch, and plunge Into this wild, lawless cauldron of unrest and bitter strivings?" Dorothy brushed back a rebellious tear and turned away from the front door of thc shack. .Shu had never given expression to such parental rebellion before, and she half shuddered at it. By way of apology, she added in an undertone: 'Toor father! ITe suffers, too. Ile has been disappointed and it is making him old. Why did that man want to come here?" She looked bitterly across tile "dead linc." Henry Egerton had just emerged from his shack and stood, with hands shading his eyes, watching lier. Nearby eho could sec his gun loaning against tho side of the saoclc. THE CLAIM. i "Ile must be bad. or ho would offer io compromise," Dorothy continued. "He is young and able and father ls old and feeble. He might move on, and-" She suddenly dropped her rolce to an indistinct murmur, for an apparition appeared in thc doorway of thc shack which made her excited. She shaded lier eyes and looked more keenly. It was a small, toddling child, scarcely two summers old, holding uncertainly to the side of thc doorway, and cooing at the big .ball of fire slowly disap pearing below the horizon. The man raised his hands and tho child ran to him and jumped Into his arms. "Ho is married, then, and has a fam ily," Dorothy breathed. "Maybe I have misjudged him. Has thc child a mother, or-" Again her sentence died out In an indistinct murmur, but the sun had set and twilight was rapidly spreading over the landscape. Dorothy saw nr. oMicr form, lieut of figure and white of hair, walking across the field, and after waving a hand of welcome to him she turned to her work inside. There was seldom any mention of their neighbor's affairs between father and daughter, and to-night Dorothy merely told of the presence of the baby on the opposite side of the "dead linc*' and then subsided. Jared Wellington raised his shaggy eyebrows and grunted: "Then he's married? He'll bring his wife next. I suppose. Maybe he has heard that the courts-" A horrible suspicion entered thc minds of both. Had the courts decided respecting their claims, and had Henry Egerton heard that he was the sole and legal possessor of the quarter section Otherwise why had he brought his family out to his lonely home when he had lived without them for three months? Tared "Wellington felt tho heavy op pression of disappointment, and his white head drooped lower and lower as the evening advanced. Dorothy tried to cheer him. hut in vain. Finally she decided to present the matter clearly to lier aged parent r.nd show him that all would not be lest even If the courts decided against them. -What of lr. father?" she said,_chccr fnlly. "Wc can go back East and live. I can work and support you. I will enjoy life more thai] out here. I can't stand this much longer. I must have companions and neighbors." MKo, no. Dorothy, it can never he," he murmured. I shall never live to sec the East again. If it is true that-that -ho owns it"-pointing dramatically toward his enemy's shack-"it will kill me. I cannot survive it." Tho tears blinded tho blue eyes of the woman, and she turned away to hide them. "It may not be, fa!her," she murmured in a thick voice. Dut whether true or not. Jared Wel lington took to his bed. and on the mor row he was unable to raise his head from tho pillow. Dorothy nursed him. with all the skill she possesed, but ho needed more than she could give. Slumbering fitfully, the patient would awaken occasionally, and murmur in distinct sentence!!. The fever of age and anxiety had unsettled his mind, and he raved like a child cf ten. Dorothy turned away in^d^Zj^? Impending death in thc drearysS^^ made even her stout heart quail. It was ten miles to the nearest physician, but it was necessary to go. Would the feeble patient awaken, and himself deserted, commit some wild act? N She, held the door half open, debat ing whether to go or stay, when sud denly a slight pressure from without made her turn hastily. There, almost at her feet, was a bundle .of red cloth ing, surmounted by a shock of light brown hair. The pair of innocent eyes looking up at her suddenly gleamed with a new-born happiness. "Muzzer! Muzzer! I'se found you at last. Where's you been so long? Baby's been cry in' an' cry In' fur you. Hug baby, an' tell him you'll nebbcr, neither leave him again." A pair of warm arms were raised be seechingly upward. Dorothy picked the litle child up In her arms and hugged and kissed It* The longing In her heart for some one to love and speak to was almost foo much, and she broke into a violent sobbing. The child cuddled close to her and said softly: "Don't cry. muzzer. fur I won't leave you ag'in. I'se goin' to stay forebber an' ebber with you." The hands, chubby and warm, stroked the hair of the weeping woman. Dor othy raised her eyes to look at the little face pressed to hers, and then she started. A dozen feet away stood Henry Egerton, an expression of confusion and uncertainty on his face. He raised his hat and said: "Pardon mc, I've como for Virginia. She ran away, and I could not catch her until she crossed-crossed over here." Dorothy still held the child in her arms, and Virginia suddenly ex claimed: "I'se found muzzer! I'se found muz zer, Uncl* Hcn'y. "Herc she is." The face of thc man worked strange ly. A softening of thc finn otit'ines made him lock tender and sympa thetic. "Poor Virginia lost her mother a week ago.1' he murmured, "and she has come to live with me. I could not bear to tell her tho truth. But I sup pose I was wrong. Come, Virginia, come with Uncle Henry." "Not. unless muzzer comes, too," pleaded the child. Tho embarrassment of thc mau In creased. Dorothy, understanding the position of the two, suddenly raised lier eyes from the shock of brown hair and said quickly: "I-cavc thc child with mo a short time. She is happy, and I-I-need some one." There was a break in her voice, but she continued with moro SQlf-control: "But I must go away for a doctor. Father is very sick and he needs help and medicine." Henry Egerton had been thinking of thc picture the two made framed in thc doprway, and he started at thc men tion of her father. Then, apparently Avithout thinking, he said: "I'll go for the doctor if you'll keep Virginia until I return. I'll be back soon." Ho strode away rapidly without glancing again at the picture, which somehow had strangely affected him, and within ten minutes he was riding fiercely toward Oklahoma City. Dur ing the ten miles he hardly saw an object on thc landscape, and when he returned in company with the physi cian he was quiet and taciturn. Virginia and Dorothy were not in the doorway to greet him on his return, but unmindful of thc-feud between the two families he strode Into the small Aback behind tho physician. Thoa, while that individual examined his pa tient he waited patiently at the foot of thc rude bed, furtively watching two faces which seemed inseparably associated together. Jared Wellington was a long time In bed and the fever wasted him to a skeleton. Nature had robbed him of thc power and strength to protect his shack from the approach of the enemy. But before his complete recovery tho "dead line" had been obliterated. The little footsteps of Virginia had worn a smooth path across it from shack to shack, and often Henry Egerton fol lowed after his tiny niece "to go and see muzzer." Somehow there was as much attraction for him as for the innnocent child, who had found in its bereavement another who had quickly healed the wound. Then one day Henry Egerton walked to thc old shack with lines drawn tighter around Iiis mouth, and witt eyes hardened to bear a new burden. Thc decision of the courts in their re spective claims had been handed down. Thc ownership of the valuable quartet section was decided forever. Beyond thc hearing of the convalescent man, who sat In the nun of the doorway, Egerton told the news to Dorothy. Under the blunt announcement she paled and flushed by turrs. Tien pity for the drawn face before !:or made bet exclaim: "Oh, I'm sorry for you. Mr. Egerton. I think you should own hnif." "No, lt was all or none. Now thc courts have decided ii ?li belongs tc your father. Fm an interloper, and must leave at once. You have thc right to ..order me off before night." "But I won't do it, Mr. Egerton," Dorothy replied, with a bright smile. "You can stay as long as you like." "No man could do that unless"-he hesitated-"unless you could let me work tho place for you. I could stay as your hired man until your father was well again; but I won't. I would stay at your bidding-if-if-you would always be Virginia's mother." Dorothy held forth a trembling hand.. He seized it and covered it with kisses, hastily interpreting thc action as a plea to stay, and Dorothy did not have the courage to break his illusion. Then from the shadow of the shack a small figure toddled forth and a baby's voice exclaimed: "Muzzer. maim Uncl* Hen'y stay an' play bear with mc. I wants him." Dorothy, with a happy smile and gleaming eye?. ] ?eked thc child up in her anns and replied between her caresses: "He will stay. Virginia, and he shall play bear with you all thc morning."-New York Times. A BIG FISH STORY. What Was round in tho Stomach of ? Shark. A prominent Government official who has returned here from a visit to Palm Beach, Fla:, tells about seeing a huge man-eating shark that was captured at that place one day. It was one of the biggest sharks ever caught in Flor ida waters and was evidently a saner of many years. The animal measured over eighteen feet long, had a sword attachment that was as long as an arm, and was of the leopard variety, stamping it ns of thc man-eating class and a dangerous boast. The shark was caught by a shark fisherman, who makes i': his business catching these marine monsters. He uses a large rope for a lino and has a windlass for a reel. At the end of the line is a huge steel hook, and this is baited with a : large bright tin can. The big shark bit at tho bait aud was entrapped. He was landed after tho roughest time the fisherman ever experienced. It was the interior of Ibo fish, however, that excited the ?greatest interest. When he was cut open a whole porpoise was found in the stomach. There was also a large piece of partly digested shark and the head oe an ostrich. The piece of shark inside the monster was out of tho back, and contaiucd tho back bone of tho ?cad animal. A careful examination showed that tho back bones were larger than the backbones of tho captured shark, testimony to the fighting abilities of the captured shark. A number of scars on his body showed that he had been in a conflict with another shark, and the finding of thc piece of thc adversary showed that the conflict had ended in the death .of tho opponent; that the victor had then swallowed a juicy portion of his adversary. The presence of the ostrich head in tho stomach of the man-ca'.cr was regarded as undoubted proof fhat the shark had probably just arrived in Florida waters from Africa, and that he had- made thc trip in two cr three days. The head was not digested, and the process of digestion had only just begun. There is only one ostrich farm inV.Florida, and when that, institution was communicated with thc owners said that they had not lost an ostrich In a year. Thc ability of a shark to pass a fast steamer in a minute's time is well known to travelers, and there is no doubt that the shark had been in African waters and had captured a stray ostrich or thc head of one that had been killed, and then started across the Atla itic, reaching tho Florida wa ters before the ostrich head had begun to direst-Washington Star. Philosophy or a Cheerful ?llnd. To be cheerful when tho world ?9 going well with you is no great virtue. The thing ls to bo cheerful under dis advantageous circumstances. If one has lost money, if business prospects fail, if enemies appear triumphant, if there is sickness of self or those dear to one, then is it indeed a virtue to be cheerful. When poverty pinches day after day, mtmth after month or through thc years as they pass, and ono bas over to deny self of every little longed-for luxury, and the puz zle of how to make ono dollar do the work for two has to be solved, then tho man who can still be cheerful ls a hero. Ile is. a greater hero than thc soldier who faces the cannon's mouth. Such cheerfulness is tho kind that we need to cull ?va io. To acquire this self-command, we need to think of many things. -We need to guard against giving way to irritation about little things. If we can maintain self-control in small mat ters, we shall have less difficulty in maintaining it when great matters are to oo met. If Ave meet irreparable losses we must readjust our lives to fit tho new conditions. There is no great evil so bad but that it might have been worse. Let us congratu late ourselves Hint thc worst is not yet! There is truth in tho saying that "every cloud has a silver lining."

Catarrh of the Pelvic Organs is a Fre quent Cause of Barrenness. Pe-ru-na Eradicates Catarrh From the System. TO the woman of ancient Israel not to become a motlier was regarded as tho greatest of earthly calamities. To become a mother-mme especially thu mother of a strong, healthy boy-was thc height of glory for the faithful woman of the good old Bible days. Even now, when maternity is not esteemed as of yore, the mother pf healthy children is an object of admiration, and sometimes envy, by her neighbors. As compared with ancient peoples, tlie average American woman has a low appreciation of motherhood. There arc, however, a great many exceptions to this statement.
