Money was of no value to me, and as for fame -the sooner my name was forgotten the better s,hould be pleased. The "Rose and Crown" had changed hands. the Nokeses having failed to make it pay. Consequently I ran no riek of meeting any one who -would recognize me a,ad remember Lilitla. I took the house in the name of -Mr. Wrenshaw," and, apart from thie 'precaution, it is improbable that any one would have known me, for, during the days that elapeed after 1 Bret learned that Lilith had left. me, my hair had grown as gray ae that of a man of fifty. In the evening, I would come in "dog- tired." and would sit in front -of the wide, old-fashioned fireplace, watching the burn- ing logs, and brooding over any lost, Lil- ith. who had vanished from my life like the anaesh. fairy I had. ca.lied her. Wrenehaw ,enjoyed the solitude. He mis- trusted his own sex, and hated nearly all women. Madge 'was his one weak spot, and I soon discovered that, he occesionalle wrote to her. About- me, of course. She bad had too much delicacy to write to me direct, but knew that the would sym- pathize. Only did not want to hear of her sympathy. I wanted. to wear my eel.- rew alone. Winter broke at last into a etormY spring, and a furious March came in. swathed in driving snow. One bitterly cold day X had spent searching wit."' the shepherds for lest lambs among the snow, and had come home late, tired out and numb with cold, to eat a little food, and then sit and doze and dream before the fire. Wrenshaer had gone to bed -he kept 'mili- tary hours -but, late into the night I sat, tenanted by the warmtb. and too drowsy after a long and fatiguing day in the bit- ing cold to rouse myself and go to bed. In the comatose state intre which I had fallen, I lived again through the scenes I had that day witnessed, and ,searebed again with the shepherds by murky daes light under a leaden sky, and afterwards by lamplight, which east a red stain over the gleamaing snow. for the missing sheep, beneath tb.e feathery downfall that, prick - e13. ow' faces. But in my eonfused fanoies it seemed to me ,that it was Lill% for whom we were seeking, and an agony of apprehension noseeesed Me as I beheld the deep drifts by the wayeicle. The night wore on. and still the eaane ideas pursued me. Lilith was ieet--Teit. ith was oalling me. The halluoination grew eo etrong that X items:led actually to hear her glailltiVO 1,01C0 ,above the snow and. *sleet on the window -Danes: "Dick I Dick!"

Never before had X eo strongly realized_ ray utter lonelinees. My very soul seemed to cry out for roy wife in foreiveness and it; nitY for -with the instinct of love I knew that the was in trouble, and that, she needed my help, In the morning eo I decided, I would go bank to town, and leave no 'stone unturn- ed to find her.

BY Daniel Guggenhelni. 1 Profit in Good Draft Horses. lb costs but very little more to raise good draft horses than the ordinary sem)) and the drafter, will eell for three or Lour times the sum. A well-bred draft horse -is almost as good as cash in the bank, because he sells on sight and brings 0. good price. A farmer who breeds geed drafters, using first-cless stallions, can in a few years make a reputa- tion 'whieli will add from ten -to 25 per 'cent. to the price of his animals over the prices of others equally good bred by men without reputa- tion. There is always good money to be made in raising horses of this class although inany farmers Seem to th'ink*that at, does not pay. Most of them .are right about this as fax as their own experiences go because they do not raise the right kind. It is true that horses of a nonde- script character, lacking proper form, weight or style for any par- ticular purpose, never bring high prices and are, therefore, not pro- fitable to raise. The average farm- er has no business to attempt to raise fancy carriage or eaddle horses because they require speeial knowledge of breeding and training and are profitahle only to men who thoroughly understand the business of preparing them for market. The draft horse, however, is the -animal that does the hard work not only on the farm, but in the big cities and he is always in demand, The reason there have been so few good drafters raised in the last few years is because too many farm- ers took up trying to produce road- sters by ibreedieg their mares to light stallions ancras most of them were not willing to pay for the ser- vice of a first-class animal, the re- sult is that the country is filled with second. and third-rate horses of no particular use and Which bring low prices. It is gratifying to uote, hewever, that farmers are eoining to their. senses and are noWelareecliiig Mere drafters than. ever before, Using stations on mares of the same -type with proper weight,. he can produce a type of animal that will turn out a profit at three years. Commission of that time. Rebates became anathema,. Daniel Guggen- heim ordered that every' effort should be made to carry out the spirit of the thing. There must be no single rebate. Then he found that interstate rebating had stop- ped, but that within the State is continued; he found that he was taking rebates in Colorado of $1.50 a ton on ore shipments. "See -the railroads and insist Oli an equal rate," he said to his repre- sentative. Two weeks later his traffic depaetanent reported that the roadrefueed to make an equal rate. The rate,from mine to smelter must remain at $3 a tn. To Cha,nge it would breed trouble. "It costs leas to haul 'atoll of ore than &ton of general merchandise '' averred the roads.' "We have !to charge the merchandise $3, bqt there is profit in ore at $1.50. Be- sides the people expect to be charg- ed "Fix an even rate or we'll'adopt other measures," replied Daniel Guggenheim.
