NUMBER 58. A DESERT CLAIM. B7 MABY B. STIOOEY. # [Copyright, UM, by J. B. Llpplnoott Company.] CHAPTER XII Mrs. Hallet, widow of the late Richard Hallet, lawyer and politician, possessed one of the most beautiful homes In that moet beautiful of residence quarters, the Capitol hill of Denver, but it had come to be remarked by her friends, with c<wi humored smiles, that she was seldom to be found there save when ber journeyings elsewhere had so clogged her footsteps with accumulations of brio-a-brao that she was fairly driven back to this delightful dumping ground to disembarrass herself. Certain it was that sinoe the death of her husband, following soon after the birth of their only child, some three years before, the woodbine climbing the walls had had the handsome graystone structure very much to iteelf, the fair mistress of the i mansion, as often as she returned, seeming ever seized with a new restlessness impelling her toward another departure. There were those to remark that Barbara Hallet's evident lack of love for her home might be due to the fact that for her perhaps the place was peopled with a company of ghosts she would fain escape. It was generally understood that her married life had been unhappy, her husband having been notoriously untrue to her, but for whatever sins of omission or commission Dick Hallet might have been guilty of toward his wife he had made what atonement he might by opportunely dying, and now it appeared that the lady must be unreasonable indeed if she imagined anv iust cause for complaint in a lot so fair. She was young, charming in person and manner, ana, as might have been expected, greatly admired and sought after, with wealth sufficient to gratify every reasonable desire, while she had her beautiful boy to give breadth and purpose to her life. "But we were perishing with ennui, baby and I," she gayly declared when she was making Edith Ellery welcome , In the prettiest guest chamber, one whose windows looked across a vexed m r\i iwifa rnffloH with wavps nf KWftV lug tree tops, across the vast 6ea of plains beyond, bare and brown as a beaoh at low tide, on to the royal mountain range lost in the blue mists of the horizon line at north and south, that ruffled line at shadowy pinks and grays and purples flecked with eternal snows ?to Mrs. Hallet, as to mo6t Denverites, one of the grandest views which earth might offer. "It there is any place duller than Denver in July, it must be Denver in August So far as appear^ anoes go, the city has its best foot forward in summer, but sooially we are simply dead." "Ah, the luxury of being dead for a little whileI" returned her guest with something in her laugh which called a keen light of inquiry into the soft blue eyes which had a certain trick of seeing most where they apaumed to notioe least "You oould promise me nothing better." Although they had known each other but a short time, a warm affection had grown up between these two. It had happened a few months before this time that Barbara Hallet, returning with her boy from a winter in Egypt, had loitered in New York for a few weeks, when Edith, opportunely visiting in that city, WA/3 O rvovamnfnmr ^nmonrl frnm uau iovci v7V4 ta uvuiwuvi ** the Wyoming ranch that she go forthwith to call upon Nelsine's dearest friend from Denver. From a matter of duty this call had developed into a delight Edith had fallen in love with the charming widow at first sight, and finding her planning a visit to her old home In a Massachusetts village had urged that the journey be extended to include a visit with her in Boston. This, duly occurring, had afforded opportunity to develop the impulsive affection each had oonoeivod for the other, leading eventually to their journey west together and to Edith's visit in Denver now. She could not have come to a better place to recover from the severe mental as well as physical strain to which she had been subjeoted. Barbara Hallet was that rare type of woman who can entertain without overentertainiug her guests. Full of gracious thoughtfulness for the stranger within her gates, she was yet too unselfishly equipped with tact and womanly intuition to make her attentions intrusive or burdensome. To follow a guest about all day long with pestering sociability, as fussy, tactless women are ever doing, was a nightmare of duty which could not enter her mind. And Edith Ellery found herself in a gracious calm for which she was duly grateful. So fast events had tripped on one another's heels that now, in surpassing weariness of body as well as ~ j wiuu, bu? uiuuury ui llio ubje> judo passed was as but the blurred outlines of a dream. It was as though she had awakened in another world, to woo forgetfulness in a languorous repose in which no note of disoord could ever sound. With all the love which had grown up between them there had not been time in their brief acquaintance for anything like a real intimacy. Their lives had but touched on the surfaca But Barbara Hallet had missed little that came within the range of her bright eyes during her two and thirty years oi looking upon life, and she had been quick to perceive the change which this 6hort month had wrought in her friend. "I am afraid Wyoming did not agree with you," she observed tentatively one day while Edith was lying on a couch near by in that inert listlessuess which now seemed habitual. "I ^on't wonder. The dullness of that ranch life must be i nearly insupportable. I am surprised I that Nelsino can endure it as she does. " i "She has Hugh, you know, and he is i so perfectly devoted to her," Edith sug- I gested perfunctorily, as if finding an effort in speaking at all. "They are very : happy together." I "I know," a light of smiling enthusiasm on her face. "It is beautiful? i their devotion?as beautiful as it is un- i usual. Their happiness in each other : should be a lesson for you. " ] "For me 1 And why for me?" looking i up surpriseclly, a taint nusn snowing on her cheeks. i "Because someday you will marry yourself." "And you think I should"? i "Marry some good fellow whom you can love just as Nelsine does Hugh. " < "Oh!" the girl exclaimed in a curious tone, turning away her face. But after a moment Bhe added, not looking up: "But what if it is not one's nature i to feel or to simulate great passion? Nel- ; sine says she thinks it is not in me to 1 make a goose of myself that way." "Then you would better not presume < to get married," Mrs. Hallet declared, with a dry laugh, "for a married old maid is a hopeless case." ' 'But do you not think that there can be such a thing as rational friendship between a man and wife, giving happiness, even though sentiment is left out of the bargain?" asked the girl eagerly after a short silenca "No, I don't," returned the other, very decidedly, her blue eyes quietly studying the flushed face that seemed trying to hide itself behind the sofa pillows. "No woman's heart could ever be satisfied for more than a moment with such a paltry makeshift, while, whatever the quality of a man's love, he never fails to demand full measure of passion in his wife and to feel defraud- i ed of his right if it iB denied him. If ; you are ever tempted to try such an ex- I periment as that, dear, my advioe to i you is?don't" She laughed playfully, but there was a certain something in the depths of her eyes which reminded i Edith of all Nelsine had told her about UoIIa^'o rtwti mai>ria/l ltfa < iUiD. XJIOIAOU a vnu nmi * *vu ??&v> I "Why, thank you. I will at least i remember your good counsel," but the | answering playfulness was rather forced. There was a silence of many moments i between the two women. Little Paul ' had brought his plump pug to play on I the bearskin at his mother's feet, filling 1 the pause with a merry monologue, i "Cough, Tommy, cough!" he would gayly command as his plump fists pat- 1 ted the wrinkled little back, and the < small bit of solemnity, grown so fat it could scaroe do more than kick in the 1 fullness of exceeding content, would ] obediently give vent to a lazy growling i which seemed curiously to delight the child's sense of humor. "Oh, mamma, 1 isn't Tommy a joke?" he cried in a gurgle of childish laughter, throwing i himself upon the floor. Both women i laughed in sympathy with his abandon. 1 "What a darling he is!" Edith ex- i claimed, watching him with tender eyes. i "Is he not?" murmured the mother ] in a glow of happy pride. "And he is so much like my brother Paul, for whom ; he is named, when he laughs like that 1 V* 1 - A. Li.

"A brother 1 PauL It is a pretty name," the last 1 words curiously faltering. ' "Poor fellow 1 I do not often mention him," Mrs. Hallet returned, sighing heavily. "He was the dearest fellow." , "He is?dead?" ? "Yes, he was killed in a railway acci- ] dent years ago. It was a dreadful shock. , I adored him." ' "How sad it must have been!" trying ( to speak with feeling, yet conscious of a certain hollowness in the sound of her own voica It seemed as if her heart , were so completely filled with its own j heaviness as to have no real emotion ( left for others' sorrows. I "It is sad. We never esoape it,' Mrs. Hallet went on absently, "for it is the one point on which poor father's mind * is not quite right. Paul was his only 6on, and there were circumstances which made it very sad, his dying so. Father 1 never recovered from the shock. He in- ( sists that Paul is not dead; that some day he will come back. He has his 1 room always ready for him. He men- 1 tions him always at family prayers. He 1 is continually referring to him in connection with the property after he, father, shall be gone. He has never even had a monument placed over the grave, ( altfiougfi fie brougnt tne Doay Dome. "He w^s dead, then, really?" Edith ' faltered, drawing a long breath, her 1 thoughts reverting to that other Paul 1 for whom au empty home place like * this might somewhere be waiting. "Oh, yes. There was no smallest . doubt about that. Poor dear boy! It is ^ such a comfort to me that Paul is like . him. I was so fond of him. " "Yes," Edith listlessly assented. Why should it hurt her so merely to think of him, this other Paul who was alive? But he, too, was dead, dead to his people, dead to her! Why should she [ think of him? What good could it do? ' Ho was dead?dead?dead 1 She sprang . up restlessly, beginning to pace the 1 floor. Mrs. Hallet caught hold of her gown [ as she passed. "What is it, dear? I 1 have been selfishly prattling of mytrou- 11 bles. It is your turn now. Tell me and I let me help. " 1 "Why should you imagine that there ' is anything to tell?'' the girl demanded, ( half defiantly. Yet, her mood changing ' In an instant, she sank to a hassocK at her friond's feet "But of course there Is?why should I deny it??though I am afraid it may seem to jou such a trifling matter that you will but laugh at me." "Try me and 6e?," answered her friend, stroking the flushed cheek caressingly. "It is only that somebody asked me to marry him, and I didn't know what to say," Edith confessed, with a hysterical burst of laughter. "But you have helped me, dear; your words have been as apples of gold." "But wnat did I say?" looking puzzled. "You said if I were tempted to try the experiment?don't!" She laughed again, a queer, mirthless little laugh. "I said I would remember your good counsel." "Then you don't?love him?" "No." Mrs. Hallet bent down and kissed her tenderly. "I suppose I know who he is," she murmured tentatively. "I met him at your house." "Yes, and I had taken a month to consider my answer, which I am afraid v\V "Then you don't?love hlmf" [ gave him reason to think might be ^es. Oh, Barbara, how could I, do you think?" the girl moaned in a voioe of anguish, burying her face in the other's lap. "He is very nice," Mrs. Hallet murmured undecidedly. "He asked me to wire him when I got here," tho girl went on breathlessly, not heeding the interruption. "Ho is going through to California, and he wanted to be sure of seeing mo here, and all this morning I have been wild with the thought that I must wire him today if he is to have the message before leaving Boston, and yet?what to say?" "But you know now?" surveying the Bushed faoe anxiously. 1 'Doirit be hasty, Bear." "Do you call it hasty to take a month to say no? I think he will rather be disposed to complain that I have been so slow." "You are sure you do not care for trim?" urged the other very tenderly. "Oh, I know it! I have known it for a month, only I would not admit it," she said, with such curious repressed feeling in the tone that Mrs. Hallet started. " Is it that there is somebody else, Barling?" she murmured in the small pink ear, her arms around the girl. "Why should there be? Why should 70U think it?" angrily drawing back from the embrace, but on the instant her hrnwadn had failed her. and with a pitiful, inarticulate cry she buried her burning face in Barbara Hallet's neck. "Forgive rue, darling. I understand," murmured the older woman, triumph and tenderness mingled in her soft smile as she bent to kiss a bit of the tvhite neck revealed below the disordered knot of hair. "Some day you must tell me all about it." TO BE CONTINUED. His Cheerful View.?Two men ivho had been sitting together in the seat near the door of a car on one of he railways, became engaged in an miniated controversy, and their loud voices attracted the attention of all :he other passengers. Suddenly one of them rose and said : "Ladies and gentlemen, I appeal to fou to decide a disputed point. My friend here insists that not more than hree persons out of five believe they iave souls. I take a more cheerful new of humanity than that. \Vill all if you who believe you have souls raise four right hands ?" Everv riirht hand in the car went jp. "Thank you," he said, with a smile. 'Keep them up just a moment. Now, will all of you who believe in a herelfter please raise your left bauds ilso ?" Every left hand in the car went up. "Thank you again," he said. "Now, while all of you have your hands raisid," he continued, drawing a pair of evolvers and leveling them, "my "riend here will go down the aisle and elieve you of whatever valuables you nay happen to have. Lively now, Fim." A Daughter's Cruel Joke.?A story is being told of a young lady who found a package of love letters hat had beeu written to her mother >y her father before they were mar lea. me aaugnter saw mau sue ;ould havff a little sport, and read .hem to her mother, substituting her nvn name for that of her mother, and i fine young man for that of her fathir. The mother jumped up and down 11 her chair, shifted her feet and seem?d terribly disgusted, and forbade her laughter to have anything to do with i young man who would write such sickening and nonsensical stuff to a roung girl. When the young lady landed the letter to her mother to read, the house became so still that me could hear the grass growing in ,he back yard.?Wilkesbarre Journal. YORK COUNTY SURVIVORS. STORY OF THE REUNION AT ROCK HILL. COMMITTER ENROLS 375 NAMES . A Great Day for the Old Soldiers and for Catawba Camp No. 278?United Confederate Veterans' Association?.Synopsis of Some Good Speeches. Another glorious reunion day has naccud nu.-uv ond nnnthor hricht n?orf? ? ?-J , ? o? r?ohas been added to the most treasured memories of the surviving Confederate veterans of York county. For years to come, many old soldiers will date all especially notable social events from last Tuesday at Rock Hill. We gave a brief outline of the reunion in Wednesday's issue. This outline served to give an idea of what was to be expected; but today, in obedience to what we believe is a very general demand on the part of numerous veterans among our readers, we shall give such details as will serve to convey an accurate impression of what was said and done. Tbe forenoon of Tuesday was consumed in registering the survivors and assigning them to homes. This process was not interesting. It was too much like work. A body of three or four hundred men meeting old comrades for tbe first time in years, and becoming each minute more and more engrossed in the pleasure of renewing acquaintance, might very naturally be looked upon as difficult.to control. Such was the case, and although the committee of sons of survivors that had the matter in charge, was more than once in despair, the young men stuck nobly at their work so long as there was hope of registering another name. At last the list was completed, and after a great deal of labor, we have been enabled to group together as far as practicable the representatives of the different commands as follows : 5TH REGIMENT, S.
