TWO HOURS.
4.1••••••••••••••••••
It was late in the short November after-
noon, and the sun was very low. a,s Alan
Lindsley rode into Pinto, the shadosv of his
pony and its rider prancing beside him like
a giant mounted escort. He rode by the
handful of one storied wooden buildings,
their shadowy duplicatione stretching be-
fore him to imposing dimensions; and dis-
mounting and hitching his mustang, he
saunteresi up to the little station. On, the
rails stood the West bound mail train, de-
layed by a washout ihead. Looking in at
the telegraph operator with a careless in-
quiry, Lindsley turned With languid inter-
est to the line of oars beside him. He was
a tall, slightly built man of some thirty-two
or three years, and carried himself with a
stoop. His skin was sun browned, his eyes
were blue, and a delicate, sensitive mouth
was his only other notioeable feature.
Some of the passengers had steppead out
and were walking up and down the plit-
form with the usual impatience of the de-
• layed traveller. The coach windows were
all open, and at one, a little beyond where
Lindsley stood, a woman's head attracted
his attention. He could barely see the pro-
file, which was partly hidden by the hand
upon which it rested. It was only a glimpse
of golden brown hair fringing a broad brow,
and a gleam of gray eyes; but something in
the fall of the eyebrow, the turn of the
head, recalled a face which for ten years he
had seen only in dreams.
As he looked, the woman turned more
fully, and spoke to 801118 fellow passenger
outside.
"Two more hours of Pinto -is that all?
I had quite made up my mind to spend the
night here." I
At the first sound of those low, vibratins
tones, Lindsley stood erect, and they he
hardly ceased when he turned with a rapid
step and eatered the ear. A moment more
and he stood beside the woman. She was
leaning back in an attitude of caramel
grace; turning her head as he passed, a e
met his eyes with haughty coldness. Hs
first thought, after a thrill- that quickened
his pulses, was that this was a more beau4.
ful woman than the One she had recallld
from his memory. -
For full half a minute he stood, looking
at her with a faint smile, waiting for her
recognition. Suddenly her whole fa9e
softened and warmed, and she -extended licr
:hand.
- "Alan Lindsley !" she exclaimed, "and
to think I should not have known you eit
once !"
"I am glad to be remembered at all," re-
plied the young man, bowing low over her
hand. " I think it is Mrs. Charlton now, is
it not ?"
" Yes • but how strangely that name
sounds
"Yes,
your lips !" She motioned te
the seat opposite her. "Do sit down and
let me look at you. You have no idea ho
glad I am te see yore"st
"Can you continue to be glad for tw°
hours ?" he asked. "1 believe that is thr
term of your imprisonment here."
"Indeed I can. Come, do not let ue
waste any time. Tell me, how in the worll
did you recognize me? I am sure I feel ut
terly unrecognizable. How many years ha
it been ?"
"Ten years," he replied elbwly, looking
intently, at her. "They have treated yo
"Have they?" she replied lightly. "Yes
s
kindly.'
i
I think they have. As to looks, of course
I have improved immensely. Was I no
a gawky, big eyed creature in those old
days ?" ,
He didnot reply, and hie companion wen
on.
"Pray do not hesitate. Our time togeth-
er is so sbort that we can surely afford to be
truthful for that space, can't we ?"
" We could hardlyafford to be other-
wise, it seems to me.',
" Let us agree, then," she said, "to
speak nothing but truth for two hours.
What say you ?"
"I think.J. can risk it," he answered.
"Ab any rate, I agree."
"Remember, not even a little fib. You
know my age or of course I should expect
that. Our ta:lk will be so much more inter -
eating, and then we shall feel so virtuous
for once."
"That last would be an itern, wouldn't
-it?" he said, smiling lightly.
"And it shall be Alan and Constance as
in'prehistoric times. What a chrysalis ex-
istence thanwas, to be sure !"
It seenied to Lindsley as if he were under
a spell, and that the flesh and blood women
before him was hardly more real to his via -
ion than the image of the girl of ten years
ago. Sometimes they seethed to be the
same, to speak with the same voice, to smile
with the same eyes; and again they mere

DROPPED DEAD.
The tnan with heart trouble never
knows when his time may come. When
he leaves home for work he may never
return alive. He may drop dead on the
street, an his pulpit, in his office, over
his work bench. , Heart disease is no
respecter of persons. The Christian min-
ister is liable the same as anyone else.
Rev. C. L. Mundell writes:
"I suffered from that dreadful tired feeling
, and weakness, and in 1893 I lost my health alto-
gether. I went to one of the best doctors in the
state and he said I had heart, stomach, liver aud
kidney trouble. His treatment did me no good.,

distinct, and seemed each to challenge his
preference. •
"Do you remember Santa . Marta ?" he
asked suddenly. "Do you ever think of
those old days ?'
"Oh, yes, she replied quickly, "1 re-
member Santa Marta perfectly, but I sel-
dom think of the days I spent there., When
I do. they seem so long ago, so remote from
real life, that I have almost wondered if
they ever exiated at all. •That hideous
schoolhouse, those glaring pasteboard boxes
of dwellings -the whole of that raw little
California town -it comes back to me like a
ridiculous dream. You seem to be tolerably
real, however" -with an abrupt change of
tone -"and you belong to that time."
Lindsley did not reply immediately, but
continued to look at her steadily.
" You have never been back there ?" he
said at last.
"No. Have you ?"
"No. I left the year after you did. Are
you going there now ?"
"Making a pilgrimage to the scenes of
my youth ?" She laughed. "Not I. I
stop in Coloriglo."
A little silence followed, during which
she looked at hiin critically. "You are not
changed at all,"
"AM I to take your -words as complimen-
tary ?" he asked,,einsasthin, brown cheek
flushing a little ender heriyank gaze.
"Not at all?'" she answered promptly.
"A main ought to have changed greatly in
that time. You are older, browner -yes;
and I think sadder -that is all."
"Let us hope, wiser," he replied, a little
stiffly.
"1 am notesure," said she. "You are
not married ?" she asked abruptly.
"Noe"
"I t sought nob. Tell me about your-
self."
"There is not much to tell. I am an en-
gineer, and just now I have a job up in
those mountains," pointing to the jagged
line of the western horizon. "I am mak-
ing surveys for a new road to the mine up
there. I rode in this afternoon for my
mail."
" Well ? And the rest ?" she queried.
"There is really nothing else. Change
the scene and that will tell my story for
many years back. I am fairly prosperous,
I may say."
-
She continued to look at him, as if about
to ask another question, then seemed to
change her mind, and a tiny dimple ap
peered on the side of her chin.
"I think I shall tell you something amus
ing. Ip will be a good example of frank
nese for you to follow, too. Do you know.
I used to. be desprately in love with -you !"
She smiled at him so openly and frankly
that Lindsley forced himself to meet her
eyes without, flinching. He caught his
breath before he replied.
"It is not permitted to doubt in this con-
ference, I suppose ?"
"Not in the least. And I am not
joking, I assure you. It was very seri-
ous."
Lindsley's tone seemed a little constrained
as he replied, "Then I fear your memory is
playing you false.",
"Indeed, ib is not. You remember the
chapel exercises we had every ma/pin at
the Academy. -old Dr. Williams droning
out is prayers, he boys shuffling and
stamping on one 8 de, the girls whisper-
ing and giggling on the other. I used to
watch you come in, my hearts actually
throbbing, and 1w s absolutely sure you
were the handsomest' and noblest of created
beings."
He listened in silenen, a strange cepres-
sion flitting across 1 is face as she finiehed,
Then he spoke, some hat awkwardly.
"Your avowal lea ,es but one thing to be
desired -it should h ve come sooner."
"Bow extremely ivil you are ! My pas-
sion, however, was h pelese, It was really
a grande passion, too so ldng as it loaded."
" May I ask -in 1. e interests of truth -
just how long that w ts !" That odd expres-
sion wan in his blue e es again as he waited
for her reply.
"Why, to speak ith absolute correct-
ness, I continued to f imp I adored you till
I found whatelove re By was." •
The last wdrds wer uttered very softly,
but with perfect composure. Lindsley
winced.
"Aro you travelling alone ?" he asked ab-
ruptly,
Yes. Mr. Charlton mild not get off. I
am to meet some friends in Denver."
Her eyes were far away on the darkening
west, and her bosom heaved in a long, soft
sigh. The porter was lighting the lamps,
and Lindsley, watching her, saw the wav-
ing hair turn to gold. The rare color flamed
in her cheek, and as she turned to him
again, the gray of her eyes caught the light
and broke up into a thousand diamond
points,
"I, too, have a confeesion to make," he
said abruptly, leaning toward her, "and no
doubt you will find it amusing also."
"Go on," she replied, as he hesitated.
"You were saying jest now," he said,
" how unreal that time at Santa Marta
seemed to you. It is just the opposite with
me, That is the only reel part of my life --
the rest is the dream, Iwfl1 tell you why.
In those daye I -I loved you, Constance.
I have always loved You. I love you
now."
, There was nothing i,mpassionecl in his
tone, but there was no mistaking its sincer-
ity. For once, Mrs. Charlton had nothing
to soy, He went on in the same, lolivg even
voice.'
"There is absolutely no reason why I
should not tell you this. It can make no
difference to you, and cannot hurt me. I
wanted you to know it."
There was another pause, and then Mrs.
Charlton spoke very softly.
"I never dreamed of sueh a thing, Alan.
How strange it seems 1"
Lindeley looked at her a moment, then
drew from his pocket a small leather case,
and took from it what seemed a card
wrapped in tissue paper. He handed it to
his companion, and watched her unfold the
wrapping. It was a school girl photograph
of herself, an earnest face with thoughtful
eyes, and a broad brow from which the
hair was combed away. Mee. Carlton
looked at it for some moments in silence,
The seldom, innocent face before her seemed
to touch her curiously.
"You remember that last year at- the
Academy when we exchanged pictures ?"
she heard Lindsley saying.
"Oh, yea, of (*urge. I treasured yours
for some time." He smiled semewhat,gritre
ly. "This is a veritable antique?' she
went on. "To think of it surviving the
wreck of the last decade 1"
He made no reply to this, but nerveusly
fingered the little case a few minute,. At
last he spoke, rather timidly. _
"At the risk of boring you, I should like
to tell you a little more."
"On the contrary, I shall be very much
interested. Tell me all about it."
She sat, perfectly at her ease, looking at
him with an expression of friendly interest.
Several people had come in and were sitting
near them, and he arose and took the seat
by her side.
"Till that last year at the Academy," he
began, "1 had not thought especially of
you. I don't even know whether I thought,
you handsome or not. The boys were all
half afraid of you. You were awfully
clever, and seemed so shy and indifferent,
Bat that last year we were in several of the
same ,classes, and I began to think of noth-
ing but you. I learned to read your face
so well that I could tell what its slightest
change expressed. I used to watch for a
funny little dimple on the side of your chin
that came just before your laugh, Ye.,
I see it now. At first you hardly spoke
to me, but we; gradually became friends.
You seemed so innocent and unconscious, I
felt so sure you had no thought of love in
your heart, that I dared not tell you I loved
you.,,
"'Shy she was, and I thought her cold,"
Mrs. Charlton softly quoted, a half smile of
amusement playing about her lips.
"Don't" he exclaimed in a pained tone.
"And yet -may I ask you a question ?"
"A hundred if you like."
"If I had spoken then, would you have
married me 1"
"If my memory serves me aright," she
replied composedly, "1 should have been
delighted."
"You should congratulate yourself on
your escape." His tone was slightly bitter.
"It was quite a narrow one on several occa-
sions. Do you remember one rainy after-
noon when Dr. Williams kept us till late to,
help him look over some papers ?"
"I am afraid I do not," she answered,
doubtfully.
"It was nearly dark when he dismissed
us,
" he went on. "You had no umbrella,'
and I took you home under mine." •
"Oh, it all comes back now !" she said.
"1 remember it well -the soft, black mud,
and the yards full of roses and peach
• blooms."
"I was so happy," continued Lindsley,
"that I hardly knew what I was doing.
ou had a white rose in your hair -it
brushed my shoulder one° or twice. I had
never been so close to you before, and I
-could hardly refrain from telling you how I
loved yeti. But I knew nothing of women,
and told myself that I must wait. And
you "-he paused a second-" eared -then?
Pardon the folly of the question."
"I distinctly remember that my heart
beat so hard with excitement that I was
afraid you would hear it -also that my
voice was trembling so that I could hardly
speak at ell."
A low ripple of laughter broke from her
lips. He gave a 'short sigh and an unwilling
laugh.
"You went east quite suddenly soon
after that," he said, "and while 1 -poor
fool !-was waiting for your return, the
news came of your marriage. I have never
ceased to love you."
"Have you never loved another woman ?"
she asked curiously.
"Never," he replied. "My life has not
given me much time to fall in love pro-
miscuausly, and I have never seen any
woma like the one I knew the girl I loved
woul be."
She looked at him steadily for some mo-
ments and an expression of determination
came nto her face.
" Y u have made a great mistake," she
said, leaning toward him and speaking
with ecision. "I am going to prove it to
you. Surely it needs no words of mine to
tell y u that that" -pointing almost dis-
dainfully to the picture in her hand-" is
hneortem. self."
He hesitated, and _hie eyes fell before
"M y I speak frankly ?"
"Certainly," a little impatiently.

nd correspondingly, my love is -not
= ,
His one was hard, and his eyes seemed
to ta e in with a strange reluctance the
charm of the beautiful woman before him,
the de4p curves of the perfect mouth, the
soft swell of the bosom, the magnificent
lines beneath the clinging drapery of her
gown. He began to think there was dan-
ger in the situation. He felt an impulse to
take her in his arms, kiss her once, and go
away. Her voice fell on his ear, clear and
cold.
" That is not all," she said. "There is
the width of the world lpetween the Con-
stance Sherman younusedl to know, and the
Constance Charlton of to -day; or perhaps I
should say, between that girl "-pointing
again to the picture -"as you thought her,
and as she really was. Heaven knows -I
do not -what ;the was."
She sat silerit a moment, tiot looking at
him, but apparently absorb'd in thought.

very clearly, without, the fai test quiver of
excitement in her voice, as 8 e leaned easily
back in her seat, her white, jeweled hands

She paused here, as if to give her words
their full effect. A half knot ered exclam-
ation broke from Lindsley's 1 hp, and his
eyes had a strange expresslon, steam yet

"The next few years," she went on,
"count for nothing. I beo me much at-

feeling for you till I met -I w 11 not Sall his

sort of man he was. At any rate, it is my
whim to tell you. The fact is I have never
had an opportunity to speak f him freely,
and I am inclined to make th most of it.
He was not so intellectual as you, nor so
handsome as my husband. Like Mother
Goose's eon Jack, he was not viery good, nor
yeb very bad. He was lazy, -fasttidious, in-

Really, I believe that is abouti all I cen say
for him. I knew that I loved him, and that
he laved me, long before he sp4ke to 'me of
love. But -he told me at limit, and I lis-
tened. We spoke of parting, never to meet
again; we talked of duty, honor, saerifice.
But we did not part, and we sacrificed duty
and honor. We have loved and met it

The Highland Elder's Advice.
The young minister's first, experience in
his new parish seemed to confirm his pessim
istio prophency. One day he forgot every-
thing in the middle of his sermon i another
day, in expounding an Epistle of St. Paul,
he had got his thoughts into ,such a, tangled
skein that he had to begin again arid repeat
half his exposition. On that occaeion the
young minister was so utterly disheartened
that he formed a hasty resolution in the
pulpit to retire, and went into the vestry in
the lowest, spirits. There an old Highland
elder was awaiting him to take hini by the
hand, and to thank him "for an eloquent
discourse." "It is wonderful," he said, in
hi$ oft, kindly accent, "that y ou are
preaching so well, and you so young, and I
am waiting to say that if you ever forget a
head of your discourse you are net to be
putting yourself about. You will just give
out a Psalm, and be taking a rest, and may-
be it will be coming back to you. ' We
have plenty of time, and we all will be
liking you very much. The people are
saying what a good preacher you are goieg
to be soon, and they are already very proud
of you." Next Sunday the minister entered
the pulpit with a confident heart; he did
nob hesitate, nor forget, nor has be from
that day required to begin again.

The Climate in the Boer's
Country.
If the war should not be ended before the
Canadian volunteers reach the Beene of
operations, and they are given an oppor-
tunity for campaigning, they will find it no
picnic. In addition to any fighting 'they
may have to do, they will learn something
about South Africa summer weather which
will iecrease their respect for the . Canadian
winter. The 'Sardinian' will, if all goes
well, reach the Cape in the seccnd week of
December, and if they get immediately- for-
ward to the veldt , they are liable to be
greeted by one of the terrors of African
warfare, namely, the terrific storms which
sweep over Eastern South Africa during the
months of December, January and February.
Ladysmith, no named from Sir Harry
,Smith's wife1 is situated in what may be
called the storm centre of Natal. Accord-
ing to the 'Army and Navy Gazette,' the
country is gradually drying up, the Klip
river, which flows through Ladysmith, has
dwindled to a shallow etrearn. During the
months mentioned dims -trots storms of wind,
rain and lightuing are frequent. If a man is
riding and a storm comes on he dismounts,

will lose some of its meaning in the near,

manceuvres in the neighbourhood of Coblenz.

connection with the ambulance work. They
Iwere used to dOcover men who were sup -
posed to be wounded on the field of battle,
, and though the- alleged victims were very

• carefully concealed, and were overlooked by
1 the ambulance -bearers, the dogs discovered
I them. In this way, and particularly when
I a battle has taken place late in the day, and
I the shades of night have spread over the
field, it is believed that the dogs will render
invaluable service in the rescue of the wound-
ed, and the dogs of war will be messengers
of mercy rather than the heralds of car-
nage.
