"You seem to get a good deal of fun out of this kind of weather," observed Lige. as he wiped ins brow and shifted his chair into the shade. "I expect you don't get such Skies as this up in. Rouen," s id the judge, looking at the girl fro between his lazily half closed eyelids "It's the same Indiana sky, I think," • she answered. ' "I guess maybe in the city you don't sem as much of it or think as mall about it, then. Yes, they're the In- diana skies," the old man went on. "Skies as blue As the eyes of children when they mil, at yob. "There aren't i any ethers anywhere that ever seemed much like them to me. They've been company for me all my life. I don't think there are any others half as beautiful, and I know there aren't any as sociable, They were always. so." He sighed gently, and Miss Sherwood. nanqed his wife must have found the Indiana skies as lovely as he had in the days of long ago. "Seems to me they are the softest and bluest and kindest in the world." "I thinli they are," said Helen, "and they are more beautiful than the Ital- ian skies, though I cldubt if rnauy of us Hoosiers realize it, and *certainly no one elite does!' . The old man leaned over and .patted her band. Harkless gasped. " 'Us Hoosiers!' " chuckled the indee. "you're a great Spottier, young lady! Hew much of your life have you spent in the • eat*? `Us Hoosiers!' " "But I'm going to be a good one," oho answered gayly, "and if I'm good • enough When I grow up maybe I'll be a great one." The buckboard had • been brought around, and the four young people climbed In, Harkless driving. Before they started the judge, standing on the horse block in frontof the gate, leaned over and patted Miss Sherwood's hand i again. Harkless gathered up the reins. "You'll make a great Robsier, all right," said the old man, beaming upon_ the girl. "You needn't worry about that, I guess, my dear." When be said "my d,ear," Harkless sp-ke to the horses. • "Walt," said the judge, still bolding the little band. "You'll make a great Hoosier some day; don't fret. You're already a very beautiful one." Then he bent his white head and ldssed her gallantly, "Good afternoon, judge," said Johnd: The whip crocked, and the buckboard dashed off in a cloud of dust. - "Every once in Awhile, Harkless," the Old fellow called after them, "you must remember to look at the team." The enormous witite tent was filled with a hazy, yellow light, the warm, dusty, mellow light that thrills the re- joicing heart because it is found no- where else in the world except in the tents of a circus, the canvas filtered sunshine and sawdust atmospbere of show day. Here swayed a myriad of palm leaf fanswhere paraded blushing youth and -rosy maiden maiden more relentlessly arm in arm than ever; here crept the octoge- narian, Mr. Bodeffer, shaking on, cane and the shoulder of posterity; here waddled Mr. Snoddy, who had hurried through the anirnal tent for fear of meeting the elephant; here mardhed sturdy yeomen .and stout wives; here came William, Todd and his true love, the good William hushed with the em- barrassments of love,, but looking out wart& With the white of his eye for Mr. Martin and determined not to sit within a hundred _yards of him; here rolledrin the orbit of habit the town bacchanal, Mr. Wilkerson, who politely answered. in kind. all the uncouth roar- ings and guttural ejaculations of jun- gle and fen that came from the animal tent—in brief, here came with lightest heart the population of Carlow and part of Amo. Helen had found a true word; it was a big family. Jim' Bardio'ck, broadly smiling and rejuveuated, shorn of de- pression, paused in front of the "re- serve" seats,- With Mrs. Baralock ou his arm, and called loudly to a gentle- man on a tier -about the level of Jim's head: "How are ye? I reckon we were a leetle too smart fer 'em this morning, huh?" Five 0i, six hundred people, ev- ery one within. hearing', turned to look • at Jim, but the gentlenaan addressed was engaged in conversation with a lady and did not notice. "Hi! Hi, there! Say! Mr, Harkless!" bellowed .Tina informally. The people turnedeto look at Harkless. His atten- tion was arrested, and his cheek grew • red. "What is it?" he asked, a little con- fused and a good deal annoyed. "I don't hear what ye say," shouted Jim, putting his hd.nd to his ear. "What is it?" repeated the young Man. "I'll kill that fellow tonight," he. added to Lige Willetts. "Some one ought to have done it long ago:" "What?" "I said, What is it?"

The Secret of Long Life argl flow to Overcome Waste. :To "Know Myself," is te ts.ke advantage of life's secrets and equip one's self with an armor which will successfully resist the attack of disease in the battle of life. The old idea of fate or "kismet," and that a person al- ways dies when his time conies, is now exploded.

"Got no more regards , than a brazing calf--disturbin' a feller with his sweetheart!" "The both of 'em says they're going to do fer ye," bleated Mr. Bardleek; "swears they'll ketch their evens wids • Mr. Martin rose again. "Don't git scared and leave town, Mr. Harkless!" be called out. "Jim '11 protect you." Vastly -to the young man's relief the band began to play and the equestrians and equestriennes capered out from the dressing tent for the "grand en- trance," and the performance com- menced. Through the long summer afternoon it went on—wonders of horsemanship and of horsewomanship, hair raising exploits on wires tight and slack, giddy tricks on the high trapeze, feats of leaping and tum- bling in the rings, while the tireless •musicians biatted inspiringly tbrough it all, only pausing long enough to allovv that riotous jester, the clown. to ask the ringmaster what he would do if a young lady came up and kissed him on the street, and to explode his witticIems during short intervals of rest for the athletes. When if was over, John and Helen found theniselves in the midst of a densely packed cntywd and separated frein•Mies Itriscoe and Lige. People wore pishing and shoving, and he saw her face grow pale. He realized with a pang of sympathy/ how helpless be would feel if he were as small as she and. at his utniost height could only see big, suffocating backs and huge shoulders pressing down from above. He WAS keeping them from crowding heavily upon her with all his strength, and a royal feeling of protectiveness came over him. She was so little. And yet, without the remotest hint of hard- ness, she gave him such a distinct im- pression of poise and equilibrium. She seemed so able to meet anything that might come, to understand it—even to laugh at it—so Americanly capable and sure of the event that, in spite of her pale cheek, he could. not feel quite so protective as he wished to feel. He managed to get her to one of the tent poles and placed her with her back to it. Then he set one of his own hands against it, over her head, brac- ed himself and stood keeping a little space about her and. ruggedly letting • "Thank You. "It was rather trying in there," she said and looked up into his eyes with a (Irvine gratitude. . "Please don't do that," he answered in a low voice. "Do what?"' "Look like that." She not only looked like that, but more ,se. "roung man, young man," she said, "I fer you're wishful of turn- ing a. girl's bead." The throng arms thick around them, garrillous-and, noisy, but they two were more richly alone together, to his appre- ciation, than If they stood on some far satellite of Mars. He was not to for- get that moment, and he kept the pic- ture of her, as she leaned against the big blue tent pole there, in his heart; the clear, gra* eyes lifted to his, the piquant face , with the delicate flush stealing back' to her cheeks and the brave little figure that had run se straight to, bitout of the night shad- ows. Thene was something about her and in the moment that suddenly touehed hint itr-ith a saddening sweet- ness too keeneto be Wrier The forget - nae -not finger ,of the .fiying hour that could not comae again- was laid on hie soul, and be felt the tears start frora his heart on their journey to his eyes. He knew that he should always remem- ber that moment. She knew it too. She put her hand to her cheek and turned away from him a little tremu- lously. Both were silent. They bad len together since early morning. Pla tville was proud, of him. Many a friendly glance from the folk who jotted about them favored his suit and wished both of them well, and many lips, opening to speak to Hark- less in passing, closed when their own- ers, more tactful than Mr. Bardlock, looked a semmul time. Old Tom Martin, still perched alone en his high seat, saw them standing by the tent pole and witChod them from under his dusty hat brim. "I reckon it's bent three or four thousand yeers sence I was young," he gilled to him- self. Thenieushiag his hat still farther down over Os eyes, "I don't believe I'd ort to rightly look on at that." He sighed again as he rose and gently spoke the name of his dealt wife: "Mar- jie, I reckon you're miglity tired wait - Intl for we. , It's be'n lonesome some - Utiles"— "Do you see that tall old man up there?" said Helen, nodding her , head toward Martin. "I think I should like to know hint. I'm sure I like hini.". "That is old ,Tom Martin," "I know." , •. "I was sorry and ashamed about all that conspicuouiness and. shouting. It must -have been very unpleasant for you. It naust have been se for a stran- ger. Please try to forgive me for let- ting you in forit." "But I liked:it. It was 'all in the family,' and it was so jolly and good natured, and that dear old man was so bright Do yon know," she -went on in a low voice, "I don't believe I'm so much a stranger -1 think I love all these people a• great deal—in spite of having known :them only two day." AU that a wild elthilaration possessed him. Ile wanted to shake hands with every soul in the tent, to tell them all that he loved' them witk his whole heart; but, what was vastly more im- portant, she loved them a great deal— in spite of having known them. only two due. He made the horses prance on the homeward &lire, and once, when she told him that she had reAd. a good many of his political columnehin the. Herald, he ran them into a fence. After this it occurred to him that they were near- ing their .destination and had coudN at a perversely sharp gait, so be held 4Jie roans down toi a snall's pace (if it be true that a snail's natural gait is net 0, trot) for the r st of the way, and. they talked .of Tent music, and d fered widely a Sferatith and books and scovered that they bout !been. Tbey found Mr. Fisbee in the yard, talking .to Jadge Briecoe. As they drove up and before the horses had quite stopped Helen leaped to the ground and ran to the old scholar with both her hands outstretched to him. Itie looked timidly at her and took the Lands he gave him; then he produced from his pocket a yellow telegraph en- velope, watching her anxiously as she received it However, she seenied to attach no particular importance to Ito and instead of opening it leaned to- ward him, still holding one of his bands. "These awful • old men!" Harkless groaned inwardly as he banded the horses over to the judge. "I dare say he'll kiss her too." But when the ed- itor and Mr. Willetts had gone it was Helen who klised Fisbee. ":rhey're coining out to spend. the evening, aren't they?" asked Briscoe, nodding to the young men as they set off down the road. "Lige has to come whether he wants to or not," Minnie laughed rather con- sciously. "It's his turn tonight to look after Mr. ntarkless," "I guess he Won't mind coming," said the, judge. "Well," returned his daughter, glanc- ing, at Helen, who stood apart reading the telegram te Inisbee, "I know if he follows Mr. Harkless he'll get here pretty soon after supper—as soon as the moon cornes up, anyway." The editor of the Herald was late to his evening meal that night. It was dusk when he' reached the hotel, and for the first time in history a gentle- man sat d6wn to meat in that house of entertainment in evening dress. There was no one in the dining room when he went in—the otheiraboarders had finished, and it wad •Cyntblins "evening out"—but the litndlord, Co- lumbus Landis, came and attended to his wepts himself andchatted with "Ptectse don't do that," he a the crowd surge against h would.

"There's a picture of Henry Clay," remarked Landis in obvious relevancy to his companion's attire—"there's a picture of Henry Clay somewhere about the bouse in a swallow tail. Gov- ernor Ray spoke here iu one, Bodeffer eays; always wore one, except it was higher built up in yourn about the col- lar and had brass buttons, I think.

"He waited around fer ye a good while, but last he had to gm He's be'n mighty wrought up sence the trouble this morning an' wanted. to see ye bad. I don't know if you seen it, but that feller 't knocked your hat off with a club got mighty near tore to pieces in the crowd before he got away,.

But, see- here, Sve don't put nothin' too mean for themIfolks. ,tell ye, Mr. Harkless, all oil us are seared for ye," The good fellow- was so earimet that when the editor's supper was finished and he would. have departed, Landis, detained him almost by force until the arrival of Mr. Willetts, who, the land- _ lore 'sinew, was his allotted. escort for the evening. When Lige came (wear- ing a new tie, a pink one he had beg- tened to buy as soot as his engade- ments had givtn opportunity) the land- lord, hissed a savage word of reproaela for his tardiness in his ear and whisper- ingly bade him not let the other out of reach that night. Mr. Willetts replied with a nod implying_ his trustworthi- ness, and the young men, went out into the darkness. CHAPTER VII. IllE moon had risen, and there was a lace of mist along the • creek when lehn and Helen reached their -• bench. (Of curse they went back there,) She turned to him with a little frown. "Why have you never let Tom Mere- dith know you were living so near him —less than a hundred I/Alex—when he -nes always liked and admired you above all the rest of mankind? I know that he has tried time and again to hear of you, but the other men wrote that they knew nothing, that it was thought you bad gone abroad. I had heard of you, and so has be seen your name in the Rouen papers—about the White Caps and in politics—but he would never dream of oonaecting the PIattville Mr, Harkless with his Mr. Harkless; though I did, just a little, itt a vague way. I knew you, of course, when you came into Mr. Halloway's lecture the other evening. But why haven't you written to my cousin?" "Rouen seems rather far away to me," he answered quietly. "I've been there only once, half a day on business - Except that, I've never been much far- ther than Amo --and then for a conven- tion or to make a. speech—since I came here." - • "Wicked," she exclaimed, "to shut yourself up like this! I said it was fine to drop out of the world, but why have you cut off your old friends from you? Why haven't you had a relapse now and then and come over to bear .irsaye play and Melba sing, or to see Mans- field or Henry Irving, when we have had them? And do you think you've been quite. fair to Tom? Wbat right had you to assume that he had forgot- ten you?" "Oh, I didn't exactly mean forgot- ten," he said, pulling a blade of grass to and fro between his fingers and Fearing at it absent4y. "It's only that I have dropped out of the -world, you know. They rather expected me to do a lot of things, and haven't done them. Possibly it is because I am sen- sitive that I never let Toni know. They expected me to !amount to something. but I don't belieye his tveleome would be less hearty ito a failure—he is a good heart." "Failure!" she cried and -clapped her hands and lauglied. "I'm really not very tragic about it, though I must seem consumed with self pity," he returned, smiling. "It is only that I have dropped out of the world while Tom is still in. it." "'Dropped out of the worldn " she echoed impatiently. "Can't you see you've dropped into it? That you"— "Last night I was honored by your praise of my graceful mode of quitting "And so you wish me to be consist- ent," she retorted scornfully. "What becomes of your gallantry whert we abide by reason?" "True enough; equality is a denial of privilege." "And privilege is a denial ef equal- ity? I don't like that at all." She turned a. serious, suddenly illuminated face ;mon itim and spoke earnestly; 1 "It's my hobby, I should tell you, and I'm tired of that nonsense about 'wom- en always sounding the personal note! It should be sounded as we would Sound it And I think we could bear the loss of 'privilege' "— He laughed and raised a protesting hand. "But we couldn't" "No, you couldn't It's tbe ribbon of superiority in your buttonhole. I know several women who manage to live without men to open doors for them, and I think I could bear to let a man °pass before me now and then or wear his hat in an offlce where I happened to be, and I could get my own ice at a dance, I think, possibly with even less fuss and eeramble than /'ve sometimes observed in the meting men who have done it for me. But you know you would never let us do things for eur- pelves, no matter what legal equality might he declared, even when we get representation for our taxation.
