In the dust and down a lane Two walked hand in hand together; Blew the wind and fell the rain, Little heeded they the weather, Cold March winds might storm about, Warmth within mocked cold without. Had the road been paved with gold, They had never seen a shimmer; Had" the stars left Heaven's high fold, Night to them had grown no dimmer, Karth, unto its widest hem, Consisted of four feet for them. What said he to make her start. Flush and glow with sudden pleasure; What could cause the woman’s heart Then to beat a faster measure 1 Why did eveiids prone to rise.

Ho intended to call hare; I co llected to take you over to San Jose to see her and aH that yon know, but the fact of it is—that is—it seems from this letter that—ne s been called away sooner than he expected, and that—well—hang It! The girl is actually on her way here now.” “Alone?" "I suppose so. You know one thinks nothing of that here." “Or any other propriety for that mat ter." “For heaven’s sake, Vosephine, don’t tie ridiculous! Of coarse it’s stupid her coming in this way, and Mallory ought to have brought her, bat she’s "coming and we must receive her. By Jove! Here she is now!" he added, starting up after a hurried glance through tho window. what kind of a d—d turn out is tout, anyhow?" it certainly was an odd looking con veyance that had entered the gates and was now slowly coming up the drive to ward tho house; A large draught horse, harnessed to a dust covered buggy, whoso strained foreaxle, bent by the hist mile of heavy road, lied slanted the tops of the forewheels toward each other at an alarming angle. The light, graceful dress and elegant parasol of the young girl who occupied half of its single seat looked ludicrously pronounced by the side of the slouching figure and grimy duster of the driver, who occupied the other half. Mrs. Randolph gave a gritty laugh. "1 thought you said she was alone. Is that, an escort she has picked up. American” fashien, on the yxvd';" “That's her hired driver, no doubt. Hang it! she can't drive hare by her self," retorted the major, impatiently, hurrying to the door and down the stair case. But he was instantly followed by his wife. She had no id n o." permitting a possible understanding to b e exchanged ia their first greeting. The late J!. L'Hommadieu had been an:e to imo.trt a whole plan of intrigue in U single word cad glance. Hancilv Rose Aiallorv. already in tho b»U, in a few words detailed tho acci dent that liad befallen her to tho hon est sympathy of tho major and tho cold- Jy polite concern of Mr-. Randolph, who In deliberately chosen sentences man aged to convey to tho young girl the conviction that accidents of any kind to young ladies were to be regarded as URly a shade removed from indiscre tions. Roso was impressed and even flattered by tho fastidiousness' of this foreign appearing woman, and after the fashion of youthful natures accorded to her the respect due to recognized au thority. When to this authority, which was evident, she added a depreciation of the major, I fear that some common in stinct of fotuinino tyranny responded in Rose’s heart, and that on tho very thresh old of tho honest soldier's home she tac itly agreed with tho wife to look down upon him. Mrs. Randolph departed to inform her son and daughter of their guest’s arrival. As a matter of fact, however, they had already observed her approach to tho honse through the slits uf their drawn window blinds and those even narrower prejudices and limited comprehensions which their education hud fostered. The girt, Adele, had only grasped tho fact that Roso had come to their honso in fine clothes, alone with a man in a broken down vohielo, and was j moved to easy mirth and righteous won der. The young rum, Emile, had agreed with her, with tho mental reservation that tho guest was pretty and must eventually fall in love with him. They both, however, welcomed her with a trained politeness and a superficial atten tion that, while the indifference of her j own countrymen ia the wheat field was ! still fresh in her raeollccticu, struck her with grateful contrast. Tho major's quiet end unobtrusive kindliness natur ally made less iniprensicn, or waa ac cepted ;.s a matter of. cotuvo. “Welb" said the major, cheerfully but tentatively, to Ilia wife, when they were ! alone again, “she seems a nice girl, after ' all. And a good deal of pluck and char- ! acter, by Jove, to push on in that broken Ur wai liutantly followed by his He. The rancho of Maj. Randolph lay on a rich falda of the coast range and over looked the great wheat plains that the young girl had jnst left. A house of wood and adobe, buried to its first story in rose trees and passion vinos, was large and commodious. • Yet it con tained only the major, Ids wife, her sou anil daughter and the few occasional visitors from San Francisco whom ho entertained and she tolerated. For the major's household was not entirely harmonious. While a young infantry subaltern at a gulf station he ||.vi been attracted by the piquant for eign accent and dramatic gesturc.i of a French creole widow, and—believing them in tho first flush of his youthful passion more than an offset to the en cumbrance of her two children, who with the memory of various marital in fidelities, were all hap lata husband had t'-R luif-rrhod proposed, been accepted And promptly married to her. Before ho had obtained Us captaincy she had partly lost her accent, and those dramatic gestures which had accented tho passion of their brief conrtsUp began to inten sify domestic altercation and the bursts pf idle jealousy to ’frbich she waa subject, Whether she was reveng. ing herself on her second husband for the faults of the first is not known, but it mas certain that she brought an unhallowed knowledge of the weakneueo, cheap cynicism and vanity of a foreign prSaeoaesor, to sit in judgment upon the simple minded and chivalrous American soldier who had IHPCpeded him, and who was (fi fact thS most Joyoi pf husbands. The natural re- ,uR pf her skepticism was an espionage and criticism of tho wives of the major's brother officers that compelled a fre quent change of quarters. When to this was finally added a racial divergence w vuau v:j lu ,, „„.^ u and antipathy, the public disparagement; ra tlier than ling-T or coma >n~n of the customs and education of her fc- j arm carti rll y" male colleagues, and the sudden insist- „ she „’ lg alona iu tl( . u v , he . lt [idqy enee of a foreign and French dominance ^ Mrs Ilan , lolp , 4 witl) grjia delibora- in her household beyond any ordinary j tion| ., {or h „i f nn hour-she confesses it vtoete justification, Randolph, presnm. j herself-talking with a young man!"

Blie opened her window and looked out. The moon, a great silver dome, was uplifting itself from a bluish gray ! level which she knew was the distant plain of wheat. Somewhere in its midst appeared a dull star, at times brighten ing as if blown upon or drava upward In a comet like trail. By some odd in stinct she felt that it was tho solitary forge of the young inventor, and pictured liim standing before it with his ab stracted hazel eyes and a face more be grimed in tho moonlight than ever. When did ho wash himself? Perhaps not nntil Sunday. How lonely it must bo out there! She slightly shivered and turned from the window. As she did so it seemed to her tliat something knocked against her door from without. Opening it quickly she was almost cer tain that the sound of a rustling skirt re- 1 treated along the passage. It was very late—perhaps she hail disturbed the house by shutting her window. No doubt it was the motherly interest of Mrs. Randolph that impelled her to softly come and look after her. And for once her simple surmises were correct. For not only the inspecting eyes of her hostess, but tho amatory glances of the youthful Emiio had been fastened upon her window nntil tho light disappeared, and even tho Holy Mission Church of Ban Joso had assured itself of tho dear child's safety with a large and supple car at her keyhole. The next morning Maj. Randolph took her with Adele in a light cariolo over the ranch. Although his domain was nearly as large as tho adjoining wheat plain, it was not liko that monopolized by one enormous characteristic yield, but embraced a more diversified prod uct. There were acres and acres of po tatoes, in rows of endless and varying succession. There were miles of wild oats and barley, which overtopped them ns they drove in narrow lanes of dry and dusty monotony. There were or chards tif pears, apricots, poaches and nectarines, and vineyards of grapes so comparatively dwarfed in height that they scarcely reached to the level of their eyes, yet laden and breaking beneath the weight of their ludicrously dispropor tionate fruit. What seemed to bo a vast green plateau covered with tiny patches, that headed the northern edge of the prospect, was an enormous bed of straw berry plants. But everywhere, crossing the track, bounding the fields, orchards and vineyards, intersecting the paths of the whole domain, were narrow irrigat ing ducts and channels of running water. “Those," said the major poetically, "are the veins and arteries of the ranch. Come with mo now and Til show } on its pulsating heart," Ooaoendiag from the wagon into pedestrian prose again ho led Rose a hundred yards further to a shed that covered a wonderful artesian well. In the center of a basin a column of water rose regularly with tho even flow and vdlume of a brook. “It is one of thef largest in tho state,” said tho major, “and is the life of all that grows i here during six months of tho year." Pleased as the young girl was with these evidences of the prosperity and position of her host, she waa St rook, however, with tho fast that the farm | laborers, vino growers, nursery men and all field hands scattered on the vast estate were apparently of tho same inde pendent, unpastond and unprofessional | character as the men of the wheat field. There were no cottages or farm build ings that she could see, nor any appar ent connection between the household and the estate, Far from suggesting tenantry or Retainers, the men who wore working in tho fields glanced at them money to work it, and doesn’t ride around in a buggy with a conple of charmingly distracting young ladies.” And do they all i nure alike?*’ con tinued Rose, Ignoring the pleasantry; “big and little—tliat young inventor with tho rest?” She stopped. Sue felt tho ingenue's usually complacent eyes suddenly fixed upon her with an unhallowed precocity and as quickly withdrawn. Without knowing why, she felt embarrassed and changed tlie subject. The next day they drove to the Con vent of Santa Clara and the mission college of San Jose. Their welcome at both places seemed to Roso to bo a mingling of caste greeting and spiritual zeal, and tho austere seclusion and re serve of those cloisters repeated that suggestion of an old world civilization that had already fascinated the young western girl. They made other excur sions in the vicinity, but did not extend it to a visit to their few nc-ighliors. With their reserved and exclusive ideas this fact did not strike Rose as peculiar, but on a later shopping expedition to the town of Ban Jose a certain reticence and aggressive sensitiveness on the part of the shop keepers and tradespeople just win toward tho Randolphs produced an un- (inirors ' pleasant impression on lier mind. She " could not help noticing, too, that after the first store of astonishment which greeted her appearance with her hostess she herself was included in the antagon ism. With her youthful prepossession for her friends, this distinction sljo rc- mto a statute of Alexander, "with a city in the rijfht hand and a reservoir in the left.” But they knew not of the Cin chona tree of those yet undis covered primeval forests, and Louisvillk, Kv..
