TWO• Big HEARTACHES.
Jack Beitorr's wife had gone home to Vir-
ginia. She had taken old Jane, who had
cooked for jack ever since the T -Anchor
WAN a ranch, because she couldn't go all that
way alone, and jack couldn't leave to go
with her; and old. Jane made an awkward
but very effeotive protectress and attendant...
The headquarters of the T -Anchor had
never seem(' so dreary and forlorn tot now,
&ten in those bachelor days before Jack had
followed prettyLouiseiCarpenter,who aisited
one friends in Amarillo, to her Virginia
aome, and brought her back hie bride -it is
by coniparison that we measure thing. The
silence and neglect about the houee, the
mute piano and, all the abandoned softness
and pretty refinements he had procured for
her with such loving pains were only a sort
of visible expression of the desalate ache
that bad been /growing in hieheart for
months as he ssw her shallow discontent
and rootlessness, and knew that she was as
lonely beside him for the life of diversion
for which she was woeter3, as he by her
finding that the pretty body did not hold
what he needed and hungered for and
thought to clasp in it; that his generous
adoration was accepted ite a matter of
course. His uneelfish devotion could never
find in tnat Mail nature any answering ten-
derness anti faithful love on which ti rest.
One day Jack was sitting at dinner at the
hotel_ in the Amarillo when. the proiarietor
came to him and said: "Bettor], there's a
right nice, likely looking young woman here
that's wanting awfully to find something to
do. She's got a baby about six ot eight
months old.; her husband's a sickly eon of
feller, and she's willing te cook or do any-
thing to help earn El living. I thought you
might want her to cook oat at headquarters
-the man could help about the house, may-
be. I think they about starved out on a
section• down here at Topeka .Creek. My
idea ie she won't go home nor ask het folks
for nothina because she run away with this
poor triflini feller against their will."
They looked very poor, the young woman
and child; and Jack experienced a little
shook of surprise when she raised to bim a a
woman he thought would be of any comfort
to ber.
They buried the baby the neat day --a
day of radiant beauty, the sun shining,
winds blowing, birds singing, the open
plains smiling in the light and warmth and
gladness.
Jack found a woman to stay with Agnes
for a tinte and himself was mostly at the
Canon dugout or the Windmill camp or
away on business.
One day in November he came back from
Pauhandie, where he had gone to deliver
some cattle, and, without stopping at head-
quartere, 'went directly to the Canon camp
to see his foreman, who was there.
There was a letter in his pocket from
Louisa that he had got as he (tame through
Amarillo. It was the unkind letter of a
weak, eelfish nature, which, 'redid at- feel.
ing itself at fault, must blame the heart it
wounde. She wrote that she could never
think of living in that lonesome, horrid
place again -she was utterly unsuited to
sneh a life. Certainly, if he ioared for her
as he ought, Jack would sell the ranch and
come East to live, where she could be
happy.
That evening about six Joe Ellis role up
and said " Mr.Belton, Mrs.Hardy's mighty
sick. She got caught out in a big rain last
week -and got an awful AUL She had an-
other one afterward and one this morning,
and she's been gettiog worse ever since,
She wouldn't let us go for a doctor -said it
wasn't anything mucb. But this morning
Hardy stetted into Artnarillo for one. I
reckon he's blind drunk somewheres, and
I'm goiog for Doe Hollis and ask hint to
bring his wife. You'll go over to head-
quarters, won't you? There's only Jim and
Shorty and Buster there. I'll be back quick
as loan get Doc and Mee. Hollis to coma."
When Jack got to headqoarters the for-
lornness of the picture there pierced his
heart like a knife. There was Jim and
Shorty and Buster -great, rough and ten-
der-hearted boys, desperately anxious to do
something for her -tramping round there i
their boots and spurs, asicing her every few
minutes if she wasn't better, to which she
lways replied with a rate; little smile and
delicate face out of which looked ity
darkly blue they appeared purple, and ans.
wered him in a low voice, whose accents
were unmistakably those of culture ,and in-
telligence. He saw the man outside later
and arranged to send over from the ranoh for
them as soon as he got back.
Once more the T -Anchor was the abode of
comfort aa in old Jane's days. Again the
meals were good and regular, the little•tur-
keys and chickens (Jane's especial prid
delight) were fed and named and tend
the place -teemed like a home.
The baby was phenomenally good;
little face was a -chubbier repetition o
mother's with the same big, deep blue
Ti31?", boys all idolized her; she knew
name but Sweetheart and her baby print
• her laughter and cooing, canning
were the source of unending delight,
It very promptly became evide t that
whisky was Hardy's disease. ije was
quietly drunk as much of the tin e as he
could procure any means to be soanc though
this always had been sufficient use -for
discharge on the T -Anchor, nothing was
said for poor Agnes' sake.
But the child grew and thrived, eat teeth
after tooth, te the unspeakable delight and
admiration of the boys," and was es happy
as a singiog-lark, and the girlish young
mother, housed and fed and - treated with
gentle considerittion by all the masculine
household, was happy with her, despite the
hopelessthing she was tied to. As yeung
and delicately bred as his wife had been,
Jack used to look at her doiegethe,work of
servant -cooking, sweeping, churning,
feeding the chickens and chirruping to the
baby -and wondering at the contented hap-
piness in the crumbs that Louisa had de-
tain& He came in one day and found Mrs.
Hardy and the baby at home, the latter
propped -ap in a chair crowing with delight
while her mother played for het a gay waltz
on the piano. Then finding among the music
something to her taste ahe played on and on
to herself while Sweetheart fell asleep. Her
heart seemed revealing itself while Jack
stead on the porch and listened; love; hope,
grief, despair, resignation, and, at the last a
gentle, half plaintive hope a•gain. A half
formalisted thought clutched his heart sud-
denly. If only .Louisa -if it were his wife
and child in theta, ready to give him back
steadfast love for love, not to neglect him
and push him aside and desert him, what
possibilities life might hold ! And just
then she began to sing a little song she had
found about two children, but the kefrain of
which only remained le Jack's mind. •
AS she rose presently: to take the sleeping
baby Jack saw her eyes filled with tears.
and he went away towards the metre.' with
pain in his heart that Yet was not a pain.
After that she used te sing and plat, often -
first at Jack's request--for,the ba.by, for him
and for the boys who sat on the porch and
listened.
Louisa had gone home in April. , At first
she wrote quite frequently, and finally
almost cased.
Late in. August all hands were oVer at the
Windmill camp; where cattle wee being
gathered for shipment. Hardy was left
with his wife at headquarters. Nene of the
outfit had been there for three dap,. The
baby was ailing with some childish com-
plaint when they 'clamed when on the third
day a bitter norther blew up, Jack, feeliug
uneasy about them, left the Windmill camp
and sterted for headquarters. The norther
blew fearfully, carrying cloude of 1and attid
dust along the road, and he finally reached
the house in a fierce atonal of icy, stinging
wind and hail. He got his poor frightened
pony under shelter' and went into the house.
The silence struck him with a premonition.
At last, irt the kitchen, beside the stove, in
whieh was a little fire, he found what he
seemed to have confidently eicpected for the
last hour, Agnes sitting with the baby lying
across her knees in a sort of stupor, her
agonized eyes on its little face.
Where is Hardy ?" said Jack.
"In the room," she replied, " he -he
went to Aroardlo yesterday."
Jack could not leave her alone tvith her
anguish and the dying baby, to bring some
women to her even if it had been likely he
could get any wowan to try the joerney in
that storm. He made her as comfortable as
he could. then built more fire, prepared
aame coflee and food and taking the baby
from her in his own arms told her She must
eat and drink. And she obeyed him with a
look half •piteoue, half grateful.
_ And all night long, while the wind
shrieked and howled outside, beating upen
the north of the house with powerful
metiacing hands, and dashing the occasional
rain or hail terribly upon the windows, they
sat with the baby while it found is little
helpless way along down to the shore of
death. Just at the last when the wind had
fallen and the cold gray dated was looking
tearfully across the plains, Sweetheart
moaned a little, the drooping lips flickered,
then the tiny lingers clasped about one of
Jack's, relaxed, and the fluttering breast
WaSatUl. Thous soft little feet that had
neVer borne the baby's weight of a single
step alone had found their faltering way,
ungualea and unhelped by one of all who
loved her so, along the whole dark, painful
journey and into the place of peace.
Agnes' hand, which had held fast to
Jack's in a sort of terror for hours pavanow
clutched it convulsively, and her eyes
sought his with mute, appealing anguisb.
"Yes," he said, "1 know -.I feel."
Rio heart bled that he could not take her
in his arms, this poor, desolate girl, hardly
more than it child herself, so poor and
stricken and bereaved -so terribly alone -
and comfort and care for her. He went
and waked Hardy, who came in later, dress-
ed and quite setter. Jack left him with
Agnes, and went himself for the nearest

es so "Oh, yes, I'm better.'
Buster, who was only a boy, and a favor-
ite with Agnes, having often been detailed
to help her about the house, met Jack with
a great platter tof fried hear in his hands'
-
"She couldn't est the pork," he explai ed,

it !"

face, and the cat zin---even glad -conscious-

When Jack 'came te the door she raised
her eyes t3 his face. , She said nothing, but
her looks ran forward to meetebim and wel-
come him and rented upon and caressed
him. fie came in and eat down be her and
teok one little hand in both his Own. By
and by Buster stepped in with awkward
quietness and set down a lighted lamp,
and asked her what she would have
---what be could get for her, and when
he turned and saw the look on her face as
she said, "Nothing, Buster -you're all very
good, but I don't ueed anything," he crept
out and Judd chokingly to Shorty and Jim in
the kitchen, "Boys, she's dying! and
nothin' but a lot of men eround. My God,
its tough ! I wish my mother was here
As the time went on she breathed it little
heavily, and Jack with a sob he could not
hold back, raised her softly and laid her
head on his hreast-over Louisa's letter.
"Oh no," she said, almost against his
cheek, "do not be sorry. Life had nothing
for me. Since baby is dead, nothing. And
death can give me this. I didn't think to
be so happy; to have you with me at the
last; to be let die in your arme-on your
breast. It cannot be wrong or I would not
be so bappy."
He smoothed back the soft brown hair
from her foreheael and kissed it, while his
tears fell among the wavy looks. She drew
down the band and held it a moment against
her lips, then lay quits still, raising her
eyes often to his face, always with that look
.of perfect love and happiness and peace.
Buster lied sat down in the outer room
to be within ctla and as one hour wore
away after another, Jack could hear his
heavy breathing -he was asleep. Shorty
and Jim were on the porch.
She had not looked up for some time.
Jack held his own breath to listen for hers.
He felt the slight form slip on hie arm and
aaw the head droop -it was all over. He
laid her gently down on the pillow,with the
happy, grateful smile still on her face. Then
he went blindly out, meeting the doctor and
his wife and replying to their question only
with a speechlese movement of the hand to-
ward the inner room.
He stood outside and looked heavily
around at the great sweep of level plain,
asleep under the stars,
"She's out of it all safe and happy," he
ssid, and remembered hie own lot of
emptyness and disappointment to be faced
sumehow, and the refrain of Agnes' little
eong came back to him.

some young 'woman took a position in his
'office as type riter.
From the very beginning he admired her,
and day after l day as she did her work, this
admiration g,aew into something stronger.
Six months alter her first day's work he bad
"(tilled at her inother's house to see her, and
after that be liked her still better, and it
soon becameevident that she had a prefer-
ence for hirO, but his diffidence Was too
great and he never dared, venture beyond
the limit oft pleaaant friendship, or, at
least, he never mentioned it to anyone if he
did, and least of all to the pretty type-
writer.
A month ago, however, a happy thought
struck him and be proceeded to put it into
execution. Mout four o'clock one after-
noon he came into his place of business with
an air of heroic determination.
di I wish, Miss D," he said to the Young
'woman, " yea would bring your typewriter
into my peitate office. I have a special let-
ter I want written."
" Certainly," she replied," and followed
him'the potter carrying the instrument.
"Now he said, when everything was
fixed and tae door shut, "will you please
write carefully what I have to say ?"
She nodded, and the instrument began to
click:
' Da e, Michigan, July 10, 1892.
DEAR M THEE, -I write you to -day to
inform youlof a fact whidh I am sure you
will be glad to hearha For the firet time
in my life 1 am in lode." -,
The instrument gave a half choke and the
girl appeared to have caught her finger or
been hurt Some way, but the man gave little
heed to it.
"The *man," he went oni "who has
won my heart is rich -2'
Again the instrument hitched and the
poor littleltypeiriter gave a gasp. It had
not occurred to her before to think so much
of this mate.
"In al the graces," he said, elowly,
,
" whIch o nstitute true womanliness, and if j
for my emit which ,she has unknowingly
taken fro, me, I may imps to win her, tam
sure I shall have a wife and you a daughter
we shall }lath be proud of." ,
, The pretty typewriter had recovered her
wonted skill and was writing along without
a flutter.'
"1 Wye never' epoken to her," he con -
tinned, "ion the subject, and perhaps I may
never do ire, for I cannot unless there is hope
for love, t6r we are very good friends, and I
understajid that where love would be,friend-
ship cia not eelet,en.d1d0eacareeo
hazard that whiah may never be." i
,
Ile etbpped a moment and the young
woman looked up quietly for .him to pro-
ceed. ii
-._ " Des mother," he went on, " thie young
woman , who has eo gently and innocently
led me Captive, and who has all my future
kelvin, in her hande-"
. The giy1 was growing nervous again, and
that shejwas ma'king an effort to conceal her
sufferingwas plain, but the mac gave no
more heed thin at first.
"Is."1 he went on, "my typewriter
and-". j . -
Then the stopped before she had written
the last j two words, and raising her big
brown eyes to his face she looked at him
aiuestiontngly.
He stretched out his hands to her help-
lessly, and fifteen minutes later he said to
her smilngly t
"Letus write anew letter, dear, to our
mother.!'And he did so.
i My Love is There.
-Dost, eeyon blinded window whence
Es pee in streaks the ruddy light,
• Whi�i to my wakened eye of sense
See is life endured and richly bright,
Above the street -light's pallid glare"
Myilove is there, my leve is there.
My lcIve is there, my Beauty's Queen;
Perhaps to -night ehe'e gleeful gay,
And n the mirror's crystal sheen
Regards her beauty rdirthfully ;
•Or laughing combs her Inermaid hair....
•
*Rove Is there, my love is there.
;
eShe ighs, mayhap, for time that was,
;Pere anoe, though there before the glass,
Me eyes are drooped in pensive gaze;
Fop merry school -girl's romping days;
' And all forgets that she is fair....
Mehiove le there, my love is there. J

She niay sit dreaming of the dawn
lays of perfect peace and love,
Who ' all but pleasure will be gone'
And little reeks what Fate may prove,
Nor t inks what destiny °in dare....
