I have tak en It for granted, little girl, that you love each other. I don’t know why I should, for I am well aware that love is getting to be unfashionable, but I am one of those oM fashioned fellows who believe that love ta quite essential to happiness In married life and. have no patience with those people who hold that mutual esteem ta a satisfying sub stitute. There are lots of man and lots of women that I highly esteem, but I’d hate mighty bad to hare to make a contract to live with any one of them Indefinitely. Love Is an entirely differ ent proposition. It comes to the nor mal man or woman bat once—ones at a time, ai any rate—and It’s the feel ing which the good Lord meant should be a prelude to and a necessary ac companiment, of the relations between man and wife. It’s the real divine fire, little girl, and there are no sabetltutes that art* of as much value as a cockle- bur In a sack of oats by comparison. But young folks are sometimes mistak en In the feeling. The 'Genuine.

Ixits of people make the same mistake about love. They tbtuk they have a very acrloaa attack of the real thing when It’s only a ease of hlvea, flgura lively speaking. I hope yon and Wil liam have caught the genuine article. None hut the genuine will last; none but the genuine will carry yon through the storms and land you rnfcly In ‘.'i'* blessed haven. Your mother and have passed forty happy years togeth er. There hare been trials and trou ble* n-many, God knows, bnt we brav ed and breasted and surmounted them together upheld by love. That’s the main thing, honey. Do you love him. really lore him? Does be love you? Money and position and bralna are of small Importance wbep compared with love. It doesn’t lasara happiness. There are* circumstances under which love is nnbappy, miserably unhappy sometime*, but you osrtalnly can't be happy long without It Tea, my little girl, you have my con sent full and free.

If I wars at horns I would doubtless do just aa your moth er and yourself desired mo to do, and whether we know or whether wq don’t we must still to a certain extent go It blind in this matter of matrimony. We have to take a good deal on trust any how, and wa can only hope and pray that yonr married life may be as hap py, as free from car* as yonr mother and I hart tried to make your child hood days; that your husband may be. and always be. all that you now believe him to be. and that as wife and mother yon may ranch as near to perfection as fan dmr one who fern yon Wrfa. and wonderful garments immersed lu oceans of ntates and laces and rib bons. the delightful little pernuptlal social events with which your friends honor you—you mustn’t skip nil these just because Wlllltuu is impatient, j Give him to underttand that anything worth haring te worth waiting for as well as working for. and if my little girl Isn’t worth haring 1 don’t know anything on this green earth that la.

The first two miles of road built were constructed under favorable cir cumstances, as we bad to haul the stone but one and one-half miles, and teams made seven and eight trips apiece per day.
