From the moment when Henry Mills saw a copy of -"The Matrimonial Register" in the shack of his neighbor and erstwhile friend Jim Bates, a sul len hostility took the place of his former warm regard. He did not men tion his discovery; he glanced over the paper and thrust it back into its hiding place just as Bates entered. After a few indifferent remarks about the crops, he tookhis depar ture. It was some time before he. en tered the cabin again. Both men were fairly prosperous farmers in the wheat region of the Dakotas. Both were about the same age-thirty; they had arrived almost at the same time, five years' before, aid had taken up adjacent acres. And both were on the way to success. The friendship that had sprung up between them was a matter of neigh borhood comment. They went gun ning together and lent each other a hand whenever it was required. They were both bachelors, and usually spent their evenings together, talking .over the affairs of their limited world and smoking i couple of friendly pipes un til bed time. Then the visitor would mount his horse and ride homeward. Mills flung himself down upon his bed in deep disgust. He took a copy of the "Matrimonial Register," *hich he had secreted under his mattress, and looked through it.'One paragraph especially caught his eye: 0'I want to be married as soon as possible. My name is Estelle Read. residence Baltimore, age twenty-four. I am a brunette, tell and considered good looking. Am well educated, can dance and play the piano, have -a pas sion for country life and should like to make a happy home for my hus band upon 'some'ranch in the West. Have a'fortune-of $10,000,. but cannot touch it for a year, till I am twenty five." The paragraph was marked with the Imprint of a thumb. It was Mills' thumb. And Bates' paper had thumb - * -H Sat Thbere in a L.thargy of Despair. N I marks' about the same paragraph. However, those .were the prints of Btes' thunibs. "The durned cuss!" mttered Mills; as he lay smoking upon his bed. "Thought 'he'd steal a march on me, didn't he? But here's where he plays second fiddle! - Fzom the same- hiding place he ex tracted a letter, written 'in a flowing feinine band and headed Baltimore. It ran -s. follows: "Dear Friend: From what you have written to'me I fancy yonsar'e just the gentleman'who would makeime a good husband. Especilng am' I fascinated by your charming description ofwcoun try life. I enclose yositmy photo graph as you request.' Now, friend, there is onea little particular that must. be said, though it goes to my heart to say. it. I am all alone in the world and working for my daily bread. My guardian -does not want me to get married and he will not advance,-me any 'of m'y money. I ,shall have to ask you to remit me $100 for my ex penses and $100 more if you wish me to arrive with a trousseau. - "Yours lovingly, e "ESTELLE." The photograph was of a tall and statuesque brunette, and though he had gazed ardently upen it several times, Henry Mills did not hesitate to 'give another sentimental stare into the limpid features. F'rom the moment his epistolary courtship began Mills had felt- a wan ing of his old time affection toward his neighbor. He began to look ask ance at him for his rough ways. Bates was all very well to spend a social evening with,,but how could one in vite him to his house to meet a hand some, stylish brunette wife, with his pnchant for putting his feet on the table, not to mention certain hablts in regard to his pipe which were~ not in tone with the demands of ett quette? And Bates wak apt to be a little coarse at times in. his speeh No, decidedly It was necessary to keep him- at a respectful elbow's length. The, neighbors were not slow to per ceive the coolness that grew between the erstwhile cronies, but theysattrlb next order for PR > THE SENTINEL have it printed rig PHONE 27 uted it to jealousy. .Fr MU was building a. substantial addition to his cabin and rushing it up as fast as he could have it done. When next he strolled - over toward his former friend's house he was amased to see that the little shack was also being -tranathemed Workmen were puttlng up 4 brknk etaison and a shingled roof, an& Bates, attired in a brand new suit of clothes, was surveying operations with a cigar in his mouth. A dreadful suspicion which Mills 1 had entertained now grew into a oer tainty. "Going In for a wife, eh, Jim?" he called jocularly, but with an odd sink ing feeling which Bates' next words confirmed. "Well, I don't know but I might, Hanr," answered the other. "Maybe there's a little girl down East-" The rest of' Jim's words were spok en to the air, for Henry Mills was hurrying away as fast as he could, go. He was determined.-to raise that sec ond hundred at once and send It. He had only sent a hundred, regretting that times were hard. He was glad that he had-held out a lingering prom ise of more. A letter was waiting for him. It was In the same .fluent handwriting.. "Dear Friend," it ran, "Yours re ceived and thank.you so much for the journey money. Now, Henry, let us be frank with one another. My clothes are n worn out, and I am too much of a lady to start out to be married in shabby things,, so I must have an other hundred and fifty, or else I may have to consider a proposal I have from somebody who doesn't live a thousand miles away from you." Mills saddled his horse and half an hour later, got down outside the bank in the nearest town where his money was kept' As he descended he saw Bates coming out. He was crumpling a number of brand new notes In his fist. .- The two men. glared at each oter, started forward, and ihen,' with a simultaneous impulse, turned their backs on each other and went their ways. Fromn that time on frank hostility reigned between them. There were no more friendly evenings together, and the only time they met was when they besieged the post offee on the 1 arrival of the thrice-a-week mail. HenrytMllls sent $150 and Implored Estelle to come out on the next train. After that It was a weary period of waiting. -'The house was built and new fur niturs placed' in ft before thelkngx pected letter arrived. inim was wait ing at the post'oflce that day...Henry MilUsdid not wai tto see whether any thing arrived forhim, but clutced his ltter xultantly. and. leaped .on.:.s horse She was coming then!.He wong read the letter *hen he got home. His., soul. was full o, rapture and he fingered the missive lovingly as het rode along Once in his house he flung himself down upon the new lounge and tore It open. This is what ;be read: "Dear Friend: My heart 'bleed for me to have to 'tell you what I must tell you, but since your letter came I have met the man of my choice, and we are married. He is taking me on our honeymoon to Europe, and we shall probably be back in two years' time. So no more from yor Mrmer friend,"ETi " "She did not enclose the $250 that he had sent. Altogether, including the' house and the furniture, Henry Mills was "out" in the neighborhood, of $1,200.-. He sat there In a-]ehargy of de spair.- for, a long time. But suddenly there .came- to him a' thought that strangly brightened and cheered him. He ssyddled his horse hatiy and yode over to Jim's. Jim wa mot outside in his fields. .He knocked at the door. "Come in," muttered a bollow 1910%., full of poignant anguish. 1Henry went' in. Jim Bates, was lying upn his neW loung, a letter on ,the floor beside him. As his old friend entered he' struggled to his feet. 'Henry Mills looked at the letter and seemed to recogniz2e the.bandwriting And 'suddenly 'a who...escape(1 Id1i lips, and, without even a. "nby-yoir eave~ ,he 'snatched It .up and pe) It was couched in idatisqgng with the one which he -h' liad an hour before. Suddenly the same thought seemed to come into Jim Date' mind for his scowl relaxed and gave place to a broad grin;-and his hand went out to ward, his old crony's. "Saime with you, Hank?" he asked. "Same here," said Henry Mills, and their. hands 'met and were clasped warmly. "I guess we've been a couple of fools, eh, Hank?" asked Jim. "How soon did you begip to suspect me, Jim?" asked Henry. "Day I come into your shack and yon wasn't there, and I saw a piece of paper sticking but from under the mattress,"' answered Jim Bates. "Well," said the other thoughtfully, "anyhow, I'm glad we've got our houses built at last and furnished." "Same here," said the other. "Say, Hank, will you be round for a pipeful after supper?" "Sure thing,", answered his friend. pitching a piece of paper into the stove. "And, say, Jim, we'll put our feet up on the table and be reil com fortable." (Copyright, 1914, by W. 0.
