Sweet Norio
'rite men at the Great Bear Mine were
threaiening all sorts of vengeance if
their wagee were ea fortheoming with-
out delay. And as many of them were
half•breeds, evitile quite A dew were full-
blooded Madame, the plater looked

mine, A% well AS to the people of Hea-
ley, which was the neareet village and
trading post,
The Indians had neen as peaceable for
quite a decede past upon their reser-
vations on the plains as their warlike
natures would allow. It would take but
little inore than this to ceuse an open
rebellion among them, aid the
people of Hadley dared not
think what the result of such
an outbreak among the indiane would
mean to the hapless villagers. For them-
selves the men eared little, for their
hearts wege brave, and their arms sturdy
and strong, and their aims etu:e; but
when they thought of the hapless wo-
men folk and- the innocent little chil-
dren, their faces paled, and their hearts
quivered with a fear which they Would
not put into words as they discussed the
Hituation of affairs in whispers on the
street corners and in the village :stores.
And Joe Brainard's disappearance with
the large stun of money hied brought
this clife calamity down upon them,
and fierce and many were the tbreats
freely expressed of the .fate lie weal&
meet with if they could but track him
down.
They would not ask what the law
read in his case; they would make a law
of their own in short order—ay, they
would not even take ;time to do that.
He woull be hurried to the first strong -
limbed tree, and there expiate his crime
should be shown no mereY.
The only persons who stoutly refused
to believe in his guilt were Daniel Gor-
don and his wife, Norine, and Joe's poor
old heartbroken mother; and even they
were fiercely assailed by the neighbors
for raising their voices in his defence.
"I shall never believe the lad guilty
of taking that Money and Making Off
with it, until I AM confronted by the
most convincing proof," declared the eld
blacksmith, raising his voice above the
mob that had gathered that night to
discuss the situation. "I tell you all, I
do not believe Joe hes made off, taking
the company's money. I would stake
my heart's blood on his innocence,"
A loud, hoarse roar of angry voices
Inn -led bitter words back at him.
The Choctaws and Pawnees were gath-
ering together to advise with their an-
gry comrades at the mines. What the
end of it all would be they could only
surmise, and the horrible, hoarse cries
of vengeance from strong men's lips
against Joe Brainard, the cause of it
all, grew louder and deeper as the min-
ions of 'the law, who ba,d been sent out
in all directions, came in one by one, re-
porting that if the earth had suddenly
opened and swallowed him, he could not
have disappeared more quickly, more
completely, from view.
So great Was the excitement in the
village that Clifford Carlisle was too
cunning to keep his appointment with
Norine. Ile did not show up at the
trysting place,thoughthe girl was there
promptly at the appointed time, and
waited long past the hour.
Was her lover ill? Why had he not
come to her't she wondered. If she had
known where he was stopping she would
have gone to him, so great was her anx-
iety concerning him. She wended her
-way homeward with the heaviest heart
that had ever beaten in her bosom. In
that hour Norine realized how much
handsome Clifford Carlisle was to her.
Without him life and the world would
be a blank. If she were to never see
him again she would not citee to live.
Surely be had not gone away without
having the answer she had for him, os
to whether she wouldd accompany him or
not?
"If he has gone from the village I will
follow hime—ay, follow him to the end
of the world!" sobbed Norine, tears fall-
ing like rain from her 'Ohm eyes, "for I
cannot endure life away from, him," and
when. the girl made this resolve she set-
tled her own fate.
CHAPTER
As Norine walked up the little path
to her cottage home, she tried to bring
back the happy, careless smile to her
face that her old grandparents alevays
expected to see there. It was a great
effort, for not seeing her lover had made
the girl's innocent young heart as heavy
as a stone it her bosom.
As she entered. the door of the old
kitchen, where they sat, was it only
fancy, or did she hear them both say:
"It VS best not to tell Notine."
What could it mean? Her heart al-
most stopped beating. Had her hand-
some lover come to the cottage door,
despite his misgivings as to the wel-
come he would receive, and called for
her during her absence? Yes, it must
be that. What else would they plan so
earnestly with each other to keep from
ler?
She did just what any one who knew
her would have expected of her --walked
straight up to there, standing before
them with a white, startled, eager face.
"Grandma—grandpa," :die murmured,
huskily, looking with straight eyes from
one to the other, "will you tell me of
whom you were speaking AA I entered?"
For a moment there was a terrible,
deathlike silence in the little meagre
room, broken only by thge clock ticking
slowly on the mantel.
Her grandfather was the first to re-
cover his composure.
She had asked, a direet question, and
it would be answered, he told himself, as
he gulped down the great lump that
arose in his throat.
"Yes, certainly, child," he answered,
though he turned away front her as he
uttered the worde,.. we were. speaking
of the WOMAII who just died yesterday
--Airs. Benison, of Harrison Hall."
"Is she really dead?" excleitned NorMe,
forgetting for the moment the :leek -
eyed lover who nail so engrossed her
every thought. "Poor lady, I ant sorry
for her. I meant to go to see how she
was to -day. I had quite forgotten her."
Both her grandfather and grand-
mother sprang to their feet simultene-
°ugly, looking at her with horrified eyes
that nearly bulged from their sockets.

That she had left her thus, faithfully
promising the old servant who had fol.

call again on the morrow to see how
their mistress was. She had meant to
go, but the excitement was so great in
the village concerning Joe Brainard's dis-
appearance with the company's money,
and the fear of an Indian massacre, that
all thought of poor Mrs. Benison had
escaped her.mind,
While ale had, been telling her simple
story the eyes of her aged grandparents
had been fairly glued upon her. When
she had finished they both looked at
one another with that strange expression
Still on their faces, and the could see
that both were intensely interested. But
why they should be so greatly agitated
fnizeiled Norine.
"This is all you know, then, girl, of
Barrison, of Barrison Hall?" her
grandfather queried, hoarsely.
"That is all," returned Norine, her
wonder growing that they took such an
unusual interest in the affair.
The next words that broke from laer
grandfather's hoarse lips quickly turned
the tide of excitement upon her Ode,
"Mrs. Barrieon died, leaving the whole
of her fortune to a handsome scapegrace,
who will soon make drakes and ducks of
It, I fancy. You have seen him, and may
remember him, NorMe; it is the young
man whose horse you shod --the hand-
some, white -handed dandy, who gave
you the fifty -dollar note for the fob,
and which I took good care to hand
promptly back to him. You certainty
remember him?"
"Ye -es;" faltered tile girl, and it
seemed to her that the little kitchen was
whirling around her. Indeed, she re-
membered every . lineament of that
fatally handsome, faultless face; she Mtn

father called a graceless, white -handed
aristocrat, had haunted her, and would so
haunt her until the hour her life ended.
"Yes, site has left every dollar of the
Barrison fortune to him," went on her
grandfather, No bitterly that Norine
looked at him in wonder. uAnd 1 cry out

"It was the grandest act of her life,"
cried Norine, enthusiastically. "I eau
forget what a strange, morbid woman she
nuist have been, on hearing of that great,
noble act. But how did you know 0014
it, grandpa , she cried, excitedly.
"I say it calls for the vengeance of
Heaven, cried the old Man, smiting the
table heavily with his clinched hand, and
paying no heed to the girl's words.
"Daniel, Daniel, my husband, the past
is past. You knew it would not, could
not, be as you hoped and prayed. But
enough. We will discuss the matter at
another time," his wife murmured, look-
ing significantly at Norine,
"The white -handed aristocrat shall give
it up to its rightful owner, though I have
to strike him dead to see true and law-
ful justice satisfied,"
A terrible cry from Norine's lips caused
them both to look suddenly up at her.
She was standing before them with
hands clinched tightly together, her
bosom heaving, her face deadly pale.
"You would kill him, grandfather?"
she whispered, in a voice choking with
team
"Ay, ay, lass," he cried, "He domes
between—"
He did not finish the sentence, for his
wife suddenly crossed to his side and
laid her wrinkled old hand over his lips,
admonishing him tearfully to remain
"No!" lie cried, fiercely, dashing the.
faithful hantraway, "that I will not. I
shall have my say. I have kept my peace

Norine, calmly. "Let me tell you why

A terrible stillness fell upon the three

handsome lover who had so completely
captured the girl's heart,
"It is false!" cried Norine, hotly,
springing at once to her absent lovers'
defense. "Clifford Carlisle is Lou true,

It beareth a wreck on its bosom,

And the handon me' heartstrings

Utter silence greeted Norine's eliem-
ent declaration, and, looking front one
to the other, the girl repeaetd the words
softly but defiantly: "I love ;AL Car-
lisle, and—and Mr. Carlisle loves nee."
Outside the wind shrieked and moaned
through the bare branches of the trees
like it spirit in distress; within the aw-
ful silence that had followed Norine's
confession was ominous in its death -like
stillness,
"Tell me you are not angry," sobbed
Norine; throwing herself on her knees
between them, and clasping a hand of
each in her warm, impulsive, childish
way, "I—I know that you both in-
tended me to marry Joe, but I could
hover have been happy with him, for I

The twooidapeople turned and looked
at each other evith white, mystified

Each read the terrified question in the
other's eyes—where could this stranger
have told Norine this? Surely not in
the first 4014r that he had met lier. Had
he seen her since?

The rieg wee enquired from it family

N. Gutted as to the authenticity of his
acquisition. The ring beam hieroglyphic
inscriptions showing ghat it gracede the
hand of Nefritarimeri Mout, one of the
wives of the once powerful monarch of
Egypt.
The ring is of thick gold. carrying a
coroelian stone rectangular, large and
flat. The stone is eoclosed in gold and
the ring itself is ornamented evith
fillet of gold. The stone tells the story
in hieroglyphics said to represent the
Xing and Nefritarimeri. The perfection
of the entitillure is considered proof of
the genuineness of the ring, for the mod-
ern engrever seldom succeeds with that
sureness of cut which is the wonder and
admiration of ell who are familiar with
the engraving of the ancients.
