LOVE of LORIS By MARTHA McCULLOCH-WILLIAMS Copyright, 1904, by Martha McCulloch-Williams No man is stronger than destiny. If Helstone could possibly have helped it he would never have fallen under Loris Gordon's spell. There was no reason whatever for it and many very excellent reasons against it. The chief reason wore a cap and spectacles, was of sound mind and memory, with a pretty penny to dispose of and an undying hatred for all the Gordon name. Helstone himself had next to nothing except loving memories of a spend-thrift father. Miss Marcia Helstone, his father's sister, had welcomed the repentant prodigal with open arms, cherished and tended him all his life and after his death kept his memory green. Indeed there lay the chief root of her hatred for the Gordons. If an elder Loris Gordon had not played him fast and loose he might never have gone wandering to and fro and roaming up and down. Though he had ended by marrying a wife much more to his sister's mind, she sorrowed savagely over his frustrated career. Miss Marcia, as ambitious as she was illogical, laid at the Gordon door his wasted opportunity. Naturally she had guarded her nephew closely, doing many odd things to make sure he should not be brought in contact with the treacherous race. Socially that often made things awkward. The Gordons were easily leaders among the dozen first families of Marbury. The first families all lived in big, handsome old houses, set each in the midst of a considerable estate, and so fairly encircling the village. Between them and the mill folk, who were villagers proper, a great gulf was fixed—one crossed only at Christmas and Easter, when those who had stirred themselves joyously in behalf of those who had not. It was the "Christmasing" that had done it. They had met among the poor. How was poor Miss Marcia who did not go "Christmasing," to know that Loris' smile was enchanting and set the most delightful dimples at you see that you don't fit in. You would only make him miserable—even more miserable than you would make me. I hope you are sensible enough to see what is best. I will give you $10,000 the day youarry—some other man than my nephew—Dr. Hickson, say. I'm sure he is wild about you. Marry him before John comes home." "Thank you for nothing. I don't want either your money or your nephew." Loris said haughtily, her face scarlet. She turned to go, with a gesture of farewell. Miss Marcia stopped her by saying freetfully: "You must not think of leaving. See how it storms outside. The worst March sheet I ever saw. And if you really don't want John there is no reason why we should not be good friends. Stay with me. I will make it worth your while." "You cannot," Loris said, running up to her own room, there to rage and chafe until she went punctillously down to dinner. There was no getting home until the weather changed. The walks were glair ice, the paths drifted. She was a prisoner until morning at least. As a prisoner it behooved her to show herself brave. Therefore instead of sulking through dinner she was gayer than she had ever been and after it sang of her own notion the old, old ballads Miss Marcia loved. The bravery appealed to Miss Marcia wonderfully. But after her clear "Good night" Loris did not sleep. Instead she lay with her head locked in her hands, quivering in every fiber. Had she liberty to come between John Helstone and this fine inheritance? She knew the old story—the feud begun in troth plight and troth breaking. She loved John—oh, how dearly—but could she really make up to him for what he would lose? Miss Marcia's case, too, appealed to her strangely; she was old and lonely. Then under this soft mood there crept a fiery one. John was her lover—hers. Miss Marcia had shamed and insulted her. It would be a darling vengeance to smile at her and say: "Let the money go to charity, Aunt Marcia. We can take care of ourselves." Loris began suddenly to stifle. She sprang up and darted to a window, but could not open it. Gasping, she flew to the door, opened it and saw flame and smoke below. All the big hall was like a furnace, with the servants asleep in the south wing and Miss Marcia snoring and unconscious across the corridor. In a minute Loris had her door open you see that you don't fit in. You would only make him miserable—even more miserable than you would make me. I hope you are sensible enough to see what is best. I will give you $10,000 the day youarry—some other man than my nephew—Dr. Hickson, say. I'm sure he is wild about you. Marry him before John comes home." "Come, pa!" commanded Jane in bright, sharp tones. Titus Tivy, a meek, undersized responded to the summons and unresistingly before his daughter in accordance with her biweekly tom, she prepared him for his town. First she deftly folded a about his neck, buttoned his coat snugly over it and then put cap, tying the earlaps in place next handed him the memorandum groceries and a letter to mall, structures to carry it in his hb way "lest he forget." When he had taken his seat wagon amid the molasses just sene can and butter crocks, she soapstone at his feet and tucked him a heavy blanket shawl in a lap robe, albeit the day was lenly to school. For five years, since the death mother, Jane had held a tight rite the household, and its members strictly under Jane rule. She woman of convictions. One was that her duty clearly lay aging the affairs of others were afraid of Jane. They sued to her domineering or avow There lived a man on an af farm, however, who was not at Jane. For some time he had to introduce her to her true son he had chosen this morning He appeared amid the pots and Jane. "Drop your work, Jane, down. I want to talk to you." Well, Joel, I guess you'll choose some other time for I'm no lady of leisure. This ers among the dozen first families of Marbury. The first families all lived in big, handsome old houses, set each in the midst of a considerable estate, and so fairly encircling the village. Between them and the mill folk, who were villagers proper, a great gulf was fixed—one crossed only at Christmas and Easter, when those who had be stirred themselves joyously in behalf of those who had not. It was the "Christmasasing" that had done it. They had met among the poor. How was poor Miss Marcia who did not go "Christmasasing," to know that Loris' smile was enchanting and set the most delightful dimples at play in her cheeks, or how should she guess at something stronger, more mysterious, something quite transcending beauty, that suddenly shone out of the girl's eyes, warming, irradiating John Helstone's heart? John Helstone was brave and above-board. Before he spoke to Loris he had it out with his aunt. "I owe you everything—you have been father, mother and fairy godmother all in one," he said. "I would do anything you bade—except to try to live without Loris." "Suppose she won't have you? I hardly think you'll kill yourself," Miss Marcia interrupted sarcastically. Helstone laughed—with a hard breath under it—and answered: "If she says 'No' I shall keep asking and asking. I am not vain enough to think she cares much for me—yet, but if she will let me teach her" "How romantic we are!" Miss Marcia said, pursing her lips. Then she burst out: "Let you teach her! Lord, lord, when she has been setting her cap at you shamelessly ever since the Christmas eve party! If I had dreamed what was to come of it I'd have given them twice the money they made for their rubbishy tree to let it alone. But that is neither here nor there. Your mind is made up, I suppose." "Quite!" John said, whitening a little. Miss Marcia glared at him. "So is mine," she said. "The day I know you are to marry that Gordon girl that day I cut you out of my will—out of my heart." "The will is your right, but I won't let you quit loving me," John said, standing up very straight. "Thank you for being so frank. Now I know just how little I can offer Loris." "You—you are going straight to her?" Miss Marcia asked, with stiff lips. John looked at her fondly. "Unless you tell me to wait," he said. "Dearest Aunt Marcia, I would wait a long time if I had a hope of winning you over. I'm not hypocrite enough to affect scorn of your fortune. I should like to have it come to me, but that is nothing compared with your approval. Study Loris for a year and see if you can pick a serious flaw" "Will you wait three months if I promise to try liking the girl?" Miss Marcia asked, with a gulp. Helstone gave her a hearty hug. "With all the good will in the world." "I will honestly try to get over my prejudice if you will go away—at once. Go west. I want you to look after my mining lands. I'm sure the agent is a scoundrel. See that you bring him up roundly when you get there." Then under this soft mood there crept a fiery one. John was her lover—hers. Miss Marcia had shamed and insulted her. It would be a darling vengeance to smile at her and say: "Let the money go to charity. Aunt Marcia. We can take care of ourselves." Loris began suddenly to stifle. She sprang up and darted to a window, but could not open it. Gasping, she flew to the door, opened it and saw flame and smoke below. All the big hall was like a furnace, with the servants asleep in the south wing and Miss Marcia snoring and unconscious across the corridor. In a minute Loris had her door open and shut and was dragging her from bed toward the east window. It gave on a plaza roof, whence escape might be possible. Loris saw instantly it was easily possible to her lithe strength, yet Miss Marcia moaned and prayed and hid her eyes. Like lightning Loris thought of what the elder woman meant to her own future. If she were out of the way? With sudden hatred of self and superhuman strength she clutched and tugged and strained and at last got Miss Marcia on the roof. Then Loris dropped down and called to men running wildly about: "A ladder! A ladder! Save Miss Helstone!" And then she sat down, suddenly faint, while strong and willing arms completed the work of rescue. Miss Marcia never did things half way. As soon as she could sit up she caught Loris' hand, saying through tears: "Forgive me! Oh, do forgive me! I had insulted you, but you didn't leave me to burn alive! You—you are—the wife of John." "I have thought so all the time," Loris said, hiding her happy face in Miss Marcia's breast. An Unfortunate Choice. Mrs. Black, with a family of eight, could keep a cook, but Mrs. Green, who paid the same wages and whose family numbered only two, experienced the greatest difficulty in persuading one to stay with her. Mrs. Green was troubled about it, and naturally sought suggestions wherever she could get them. One day the two women happened to meet at a news dealer's stand. "I'm buying," explained Mrs. Black, "a Swedish newspaper for my cook. She likes to read, and I take one home to her occasionally." "Why," exclaimed Mrs. Green, "I wonder if that's the reason you're so successful in keeping a girl. I've always wanted to know the secret." "Possibly it's one of the reasons," admitted Mrs. Black. "I'm going to try it myself," announced Mrs. Green, promptly taking a copy of the same paper. A week later the two women met again near the agency where Mrs. Green was looking for a new cook. "Well," asked Mrs. Black, smiling, "how did the newspaper scheme work?" "It didn't work at all." confessed Mrs. Green. "I bought a Swedish paper, and the girl was a Finn." Jane was silent from sheer sadness but into her being were in the germs of fear, respect and for Joel—tiny germs, it is true, tainted to flourish. "I have waited six years for name the day, Jane. If you hit it, I shall." After your mother it was reasonable to expect to year or maybe two, but I'll longer. Jane was returning to her condition. "We must wait a year," she said. "The mortgage will be paid the day before school." "You'll marry me a month day or not at all," he said conjoined Jane jumped to her feet. "Indeed! Well, I am not got forced or threatened by you." On, I'll not marry you until I surrendered under the mistake of you are necessary to your façade. They'd get along a girl better without you—or more liking anyway." “What do you mean?” she surprised. “What I say. You haven't successful running things here think, and there's going to be coat rule at my house. Today's day. You just think over have said, and Saturday all time I'll come over again and what I said.” Having thus spoken, Joel and Jane returned to the alley washing of dishes with new "Will you wait three months if I promise to try liking the girl?" Miss Marcia asked, with a gulp. Helstone gave her a hearty hug. "With all the good will in the world." "I will honestly try to get over my prejudice if you will go away—at once. Go west. I want you to look after my mining lands. I'm sure the agent is a scoundrel. See that you bring him up roundly when you get there." John left that very night. Loris Gordon turned a little pale when she heard the news, but said nothing, not even to her mother. Next week Maybury had the sensation of its history. Miss Marcia drove affably to Gray-Gordon, the home of her dearest enemies, and begged that Loris might come and stay with her while she was alone at Right Ways. Mrs. Gordon heard her in a daze, but after awhile agreed to let her daughter go. She had not been blind to the light in John Helstone's eyes and fancied she knew what was under the cards. At that stage of the game it is a question if Miss Marcia herself knew. Some way, somehow, she would deliver John from the snare of this fowler. Loris had all the world wherefrom to choose her lovers, Miss Marcia this one living creature of her own blood. Loris was proud and shy. John had gone away silent. So she kept well to herself for the most part, although she read to Miss Marcia and dutifully drove with her all the time afternoons, to say nothing of playing the three games of chess required to put the elder lady in proper state for sleep. She also, as in duty bound, exclaimed over the Helstone diamonds when Miss Marcia exhibited them. But it took her aback to have Miss Marcia say abruptly after a month of all this: "If John marries to please me, his wife will be fortunate. If he does not, everything goes to charity. If it should go, I wonder would you be sorry for him." "It would depend," Loris said, flushing faintly. "Very sorry—unless he got something he cared more about." "H—m! I fancy you think he cares more for—you," Miss Marcia said pointedly. "He thinks so too. That is why you are here.

Though put up in coarser form than Thedford's Black-Draught, renowned for the cure of the digestion troubles of persons, it has the same qualities of invigorating digestion, stirring up the torpid liver and loosening the constipated bowels for all stock and poultry. It is carefully prepared and its action is so healthful that stock grow and thrive with an occasional dose in their food. It cures hog cholera and makes hogs grow fat. It cures chicken cholera and roup and makes hens lay. It cures constipation, distemper and colds in horses, murrain in cattle, and makes a draught animal do more work for the food consumed. It gives animals and fowls of all kinds new life. Every farmer and raiser should certainly give it a trial. It costs 25c. a can and saves ten times its price in profit.

Litus Tivy, a meek, undersized man, responded to the summons and stood resistingly before his daughter while, accordance with her blweekly cushion, she prepared him for his trip to town. First she deftly folded a muffler out his neck, buttoned his great snugly over it and then put on his tie, tying the earlops in place. Next handed him the memorandum for cocles and a letter to mail, with instructions to carry it in his hand all the way "lest he forget." When he had taken his seat in theagon amid the molasses jug, kerone can and butter crocks, she put a capstone at his feet and tucked about in a heavy blanket shawl in lieu of a lap robe, albeit the day was bright and sparkling. When he had driven away she went tenely into-the-house to put the finishing touches to the toilet of her sister Rose, a girl of fourteen years. Rose did not submit to her costuming as weekly as her father had done. She cut at the hanging braids of hair, kicked against the white apron and tagged for a dip to her blouse. Jane titularity silenced and overruled these objections, and Rose went sully to school. For five years, since the death of her mother, Jane had held a tight rein over the household, and its members were selectly under Jane rule. She was a woman of convictions. One of them was that her duty clearly lay in managing the affairs of others. People were afraid of Jane. They submitted to her domineering or avoided it; there lived a man on an adjoining farm, however, who was not afraid of Jane. For some time he had resolved to introduce her to her true self, and he had chosen this morning to do it. Appeared amid the pots and kettles and Jane. Drop your work, Jane, and sit down. I want to talk to you. Well, Joel, I guess you'll have to choose some other time for visiting. No lady of leisure. This is my FERTILIZERS A.C.W.

They are carried proudly over the heads of every official and every nobleman, but invariably are shut at the approach of a person of higher rank, and inside the kraton no umbrella may be carried open except that of the emperor himself. The umbrella is the crown, the wand of office, the outward sign of rank and distinction. There are umbrellas of gold inside and out for the emperor, with a stripe of yellow satin for the emperor's brothers, with a wider stripe of the same material for his illegitimate brothers, of white silk with a narrow gold stripe for the illegitimate sons of the legitimate brothers, and so on ad infinitum. Every official, every military officer, exhibits his rank in his umbrella, which is invariably held from behind by an attendant whenever he leaves his house in sunshine or cloudy weather. There is an official guide book to the umbrella labyrinth of Surakarta which contains not less than 300 various designs in all imaginable colors and ornamentation.—Century.

She turned back toward the house, Joel accompanying her. "And has every one about here known it?" she asked faintly. "Yes; they have thought it a good joke on you, and they liked your father too well to give him away." She looked so utterly miserable that he almost but not quite relented. "No, don't go in the house yet," he said. "There goes Rose down the road. When she's out of sight I want you to follow." "I don't need to," replied Jane quietly. "I suppose she stops and remakes her toilet too." "Yes, she hides her apron under a stone, perks up her front hair and jerks up the braid to meet it and pulls down her shirt waist." She sat down on the steps. "Then all these years," she said bitterly. "I've been a failure and a joke." "No, Jane. You have simply made the mistake a great many competent women make—of wanting to boss." She was silent. Joel thought he saw an effort to hide a tear and felt encouraged. He sat down beside her and put his arm about her. "A month from last Wednesday, Jane." She turned her head away. "Oh, you'd better take Lucy Wicks. She'd never try to boss you. You need a woman with no will of her own." "No, Jane," he said gently, turning her face toward him, "I need you." A Fatal Overnight. An American was showing an English friend about the capital.

The visitor to Baltimore to-day scarcely realizes that less than a year ago the city was almost destroyed by a memorable fire. A similar comparison might be made by Geo. W. Nally, one of the leading citizens of Baltimore, as to the changes in his own looks. A short time ago Mr. Nally, writing from his home address, 2213 Barclay St., says: "I have been troubled for years with catarrh and have resorted to all remedies that could be thought of. My wife was also afflicted with this terrible disease, but all the treatments we used were an absolute failure until we tried Hyomei. It worked like a charm and has made a complete cure in both of our cases. There is no disagreeable stomach dosing in using Hyomei. We breathed it, and its fragrance, so clean, pure and bracing, killed all the catarrhal germs in the head, throat and lungs." The experience of Mr. Nally and his wife certainly points a moral to all readers of the Gazette who are suffering from catarrh. It shows how they can be cured of this frightful disease, without dangerous stomach dosing. W. B. Hutchinson, local agent for Hyomei, has so much faith in the treatment that he gives his personal guarantee to refund the money in case it does not benefit. A complete outfit costs one dollar, the extra bottles are but fifty cents. Ask to see the strong guarantee under which Hyomei is sold. Furious Fighting "For seven years," writes Geo. W. Hoffman of Harper, Wash., "I had a bitter battle with chronic stomach and liver trouble, but at last I won and cured my diseases by the use of Electric Bitters. I unhesitably recommend them to all, and don't intend in the future to be without them in the house. They are certainly a wonderful medicine to have cured such a bad case as mine."

Titus Tivy peered at her over his spectacles and paper. He did not answer with the alacrity she had expected. "Well, Jane," he finally said, "I guess you're the best cook and housekeeper these parts. There ain't a lazy bone in your body." Jane was not satisfied. "That is not what I mean. Haven't you been as you liked? I've always done what I thought was for the best." "Why, Jane?" he hesitated—"your way may be the best, but folks don't always want the best way. They want their own way." Jane said no more then, but when Rose came in from school she said to her: "Rose, don't you wear the best clothes any girl in school?" "Maybe I do," replied Rose a little rosily. "But what's the pleasure in good clothes if you can't wear them as you want to?" Again Jane was silenced. "They say," continued Rose pertly, that Joel Dixon's sweet on the new teacher." A great fear smote Jane. Then she filled. If Joel Dixon wanted a little week, clinging vine woman for a wife he could take Lucy Wicks and welcome. But Rose's speech rankled and angered in her memory through the week, and she anxiously awaited what Saturday might bring forth. It brought Joel just as she was starting her father for town. As Titus gathered up the reins Jane intercepted the exchange of winks between her father and her lover. This troubled her, and She'd never try to boss you. You need a woman with no will of her own."

"Really!" said the Britisher. "Talking about fogs reminds me that my brother invented a machine for compressing London fog into bricks, and one thick November day he turned out enough material to build a country house. "Yes, he did. He moved into this new home the next April and was a happy man for two weeks, until one morning he found himself, also his family, lying out on the cold, damp ground, in company with some bits of furniture and miscellaneous joinery. The house had gone, but it was the thickest morning ever seen in those parts. Of course you can guess what had happened. In the night those fog bricks had somehow gone back into their original element." "Well," drawled the Yankee, "I reckon yer rel'tive ought to have glazed them bricks."—Tit-Bits. Sharp Point of Letters. "If people must stick pins in their letters I wish they would cover up the points so they wouldn't push through," said a mail clerk whose hands were disfigured by tiny scratches. "I'll bet I get a hundred digs a day from pins that systematic folks use to hold their correspondence together. I never could make out anyway why so many letters need to be finished off with a pin." "Of course I understand that about half of those written by women have a postscript in the shape of samples of dress goods or newspaper clippings, which perhaps require a pin of two to hold them in place, but even that habit cannot account for the large number of letters that come through the postoffice with a pin sticking out of one corner." "I have come to the conclusion that many writers so mall their manuscript with malicious intent. It may not be us fellows in the postal service against whom they hold a grudge, but we are the ones that usually get the benefit of those pins."—New York Times. Furious Fighting.

In a decision rendered this week the Supreme Court grants corporations the right, under certain restrictive conditions, to condemn public property for its own uses. It is specified that the change must result in more general good. The Marin County Water Company wanted a portion of the Bolmas Road, condemned for the establishment of a reservoir. The Supervisors objected, and the corporation brought suit. The lower court held that the road could not be condemned, but the higher tribunal reverses that decision. The Supreme Court says the water company can have the portion of the road wanted if it can be proved that the establishments of the reservoir will be of more benefit to Marin county than the use of the property in question.
