As the sound of sleigh bells broke

<br />clinched her teeth to keep back threat-

<br />dropping his mask. "Will you follow

<br />"]Mystery?" repeated Augusta in a
<br />curiously muffled voice.
<br />"But one girl dances like you." He
<br />bent over her eagerly. "Were it not
<br />impossible I should think"—
<br />"Thought at a masquerade!" Augus-
<br />ta teased; but, knowing that be spoke
<br />of herself, she grew reckless and, de-
<br />spite the risk of delay, yielded to his
<br />plea for just oue waltz.

<br />about her, sprang to her feet, then ig-
<br />nominiously bed, like Cinderella of old,
<br />leaving Fitzray to stare at her empty
<br />chair. Reaching the hall a moment
<br />later, the young than caught a glimpse
<br />of vanishing drapery on the stairs.
<br />"I really cannot!" Genuine distress Imagining that the girl must return,
<br />he waited with the best grace he could
<br />muster, but at the sound of wheels
<br />outside be flung wide the hall door
<br />just in time to see a carriage disap-
<br />pearing with all speed, while before
<br />the servants' gate lay a small object
<br />dark against the snow—the silken mask
<br />that had baffled him.
<br />In the Mercers' schoolroom next
<br />morning lessons dragged as never be-
<br />fore, and the pupil wasted no regrets
<br />when her governess was summoned to
<br />her sister's room.
<br />"Say something," demanded that
<br />lady after having informed Augusta
<br />that her cousin had been to see her.
<br />It seemed he had been so successful in
<br />business, winning such golden opin-
<br />ions from his employer, that a partner-
<br />ship was promised.
<br />"Uncle is so proud," she concluded,
<br />,"He declares himself willing to receive
<br />Morgan's chosen wife. After which
<br />news I couldn't fib. It scarcely seemed
<br />to your interest, and you'd better go
<br />down to him."
<br />Instead of following this advice Au-
<br />gusta dropped on her knees beside the
<br />lounge.
<br />"It's been so lonely—I'm so happy,"
<br />she whispered incoherently.
<br />"Morgan didn't look overstocked with
<br />patience," Miss Mercer warned as she
<br />pushed the girl gently away. "Come
<br />back directly he's gone," she com-
<br />manded, and as the girl turned, with a
<br />smile, before closing the door her face
<br />was beautiful In its tremulous happi.
<br />ness.
<br />Left alone, Miss Mercer lay quite
<br />still, watching the hands of the clock
<br />slowly making the circle of the dial.
<br />"I wonder," she mused whimsically,
<br />"are fairies human enough to feel a
<br />wee bit lonely after they have brought
<br />the lovers together?"
<br />Enid explaining the accident to my
<br />ankle and that you will take my place,
<br />so that the dance need not be aban-
<br />doned. It's fortunate you played for
<br />some of the rehearsals and can wear
<br />my gown."
<br />rang in the protest. "The dancers are
<br />all your friends. I am not in society"—
<br />"When I wanted you to play the
<br />other night you made no fuss. Regard
<br />it as an act of charity if it helps you,
<br />but go."
<br />"Not to Mrs. Fitzray's. I won't enter
<br />her doors"—
<br />The invalid raised herself on her el-
<br />bow, regarding in astonishment the
<br />flushed cheeks of the other girl.
<br />"That sounds as if you held some
<br />sort of grudge against aunty, and I
<br />doubt if you ever met her."
<br />Augusta shook her head. "Don't be
<br />a goose then." Miss Mercer shifted her
<br />cushions with a little moue of pain.
<br />"Bring that low chair and let me talk
<br />to you. Now listen," she coaxed when
<br />her directions were obeyed. "It would
<br />be wickedly selfish not to save the sit-
<br />uation. Aunty's masked ball has been
<br />looked forward to as one of the events
<br />of the season. Our minuet of 'holly
<br />and mistletoe' is to be the piece de re-
<br />sistance. Aunty will never forgive me
<br />if I am the cause of its being cut out."
<br />"It -would be ridiculous for one in
<br />my position to take part in it," ob-
<br />jected the governess.
<br />"Who will know or care so long as
<br />they get their fun?"
<br />"If it were only somewhere else,"
<br />Augusta faltered, whereupon Miss
<br />Mercer turned the averted face toward
<br />her, holding it firmly by the chin to
<br />study the expression.
<br />"You are keeping something back,"
<br />she accused. "Be honest! Oh—it's not
<br />possible"— She half started up from
<br />the lounge, to drop back, breathing
<br />quickly. "8o you're the girl," she said.
<br />"You might have trusted me."
<br />"There was nothing to tell I would
<br />not marry into a family where I was
<br />not wanted."
<br />"Morgan said he would choose his
<br />own wife, and my cousin is not one to
<br />change where his affections are con-
<br />cerned. Of course I now understand
<br />your refusal of my request, but you
<br />must reconsider the matter. No one
<br />can recognize you with a mask, and
<br />you can leave directly after the min-
<br />uet. I'll mention no name, merely
<br />write my aunt that a friend has con-
<br />sented to substitute. She'll be too
<br />busy to be curious."
<br />Thus it happened that when the ball
<br />opened Augusta, a mere nobody, was
<br />among the envied debutantes who par-
<br />ticipated in the minuet. She was
<br />thrilled at being in the house of the
<br />man she loved and the possibility of
<br />learning how it had fared with him
<br />during the three years of silence that
<br />had buried their happy courtship.
<br />When Morgan's parents had discov-
<br />ered his attachment for an unknown
<br />college student bitter scenes had en-
<br />sued, resulting in the young man leav-
<br />ing Harvard to win independent suc-
<br />cess in life.
<br />Augusta's pride forbade her corre-
<br />sponding with him, and after graduat-
<br />ing she supported herself that her fa-
<br />ther might be free to educate her sis-
<br />ters. That the Mercers were related
<br />to the Fitzrays she had not discovered
<br />for some months, and after the first
<br />shock of the knowledge she decided to
<br />retain her position, there being only
<br />formal intercourse between the fami-
<br />lles and therefore small chance of her
<br />identity beteg discovered.
<br />The brilliantly illumined ballroom
<br />was crowded when the eight young
<br />couples swept into the center, the men
<br />in picturesque "square cuts" of green
<br />and scarlet, the girls in gauzy white,
<br />with frosty spangles and garlands of
<br />mistletoe. Augusta, relying on her
<br />mask, entered into the dance with a
<br />grace and spirit that caused many of
<br />the spectators to single her out for fa-
<br />vor. Rising from a deep courtesy, her
<br />eye was drawn to one of the guests
<br />who regarded her intently. Something
<br />in the broad shoulders, the firmness of
<br />the chin, visible beneath the black
<br />mask, set her heart beating wIldly—
<br />this to be followed by a sudden chill
<br />of the blood when she remembered
<br />that Morgan had a brother.
<br />Nervous with alarm, she never knew
<br />how she followed the intricacies of the
<br />dance, though she must have acqnitted
<br />herself well, since of the flowers that
<br />pelted the dancers at the end a gener-
<br />ous share fell at her feet. Then, si-
<br />lent among a laughing throng, she real-
<br />ized that her part in the festivities was
<br />at an end. Pride and duty demanded
<br />her withdrawal.
<br />"I have
<br />8 secured your trophies," an-
<br />in'eached tnemhall, arta withutaothrsiliB of
<br />joy she knew that Morgan had indeed
<br />returned. To leave before he had rec-
<br />ognized her became of vital importance.
<br />Yet how tear herself away when her
<br />whole heart was in a tumult for his
<br />presence?
<br />"You will permit me," he begged,
<br />taking her card. "I'm sure the next is
<br />a waltz."
<br />Augusta, shaking her head, endeav-
<br />ored to slip awe,.

<br />Keep Your Wile and Baby Healthy
<br />Doctors all agree that for nursing mothers nothing equals the juices

<br />stimulates the digestive organs and feeds the whole human organism.
<br />Among the world's best brews
<br />stands at the top—because it is brewed by the "Gund Natural Prot -eau" from
<br />the finest barley gmwn in the new world and the choicest hops grown in the ofd
<br />world, it's alive with health and goodness, and deserves to be your home beer.

<br />A Sensible Mngg.tion.
<br />The Hastings Gazette has suggest
<br />ed - that the action of the third dis-
<br />trict convention in endorsing the plat-
<br />form and candidacy of the Hon. J.
<br />1'. Heatwole has pointed out a practi-
<br />cable and happy solution to the
<br />gubernatorial tangle. The unfortu-
<br />ate and deep seated hostility that has
<br />arisen between Mr. Young and Mr.
<br />Jacobson, for which, so far as the
<br />public can see, neither is to blame,
<br />would make the nomination of either
<br />a misfortune. With both these
<br />gentlemen from the same district it
<br />was inevitable that, however friendly
<br />such a contest might have been in its
<br />original intent, such should be the
<br />result. The manner of its bringing
<br />about was merely incidental; it was
<br />bound to come. Mr. Young very
<br />properly felt that he had a right to
<br />try for the nomination. We even
<br />tbink that he might very properly
<br />have felt that Mr. Jacobson, having
<br />so recently had a try at the game and
<br />failed, should stand aside for one
<br />campaign. That Mr. Jacobson did
<br />not share in that view we regard as
<br />unfortunate to Mr. Jacobson—whom
<br />The Beacon earnestly supported two
<br />years ago and atilt holds in high es-
<br />teem—as well as to Mr. Young.
<br />The republican party and the cause of
<br />the plain people, for whom these two
<br />men stand, are however greater than
<br />any two citizens, and the conditions
<br />that have made 'these two men im•
<br />possible have made possible the
<br />candidacy of Mr. Heatwole; for we
<br />have reason to believe that had
<br />either Mr. Young or Mr. Jacobson
<br />been left alone in the field Mr. Heat-
<br />wole would not have been available.
<br />For Mr. Heatwole is first of all a re-
<br />publican, and desirous of party har-
<br />mony and party success. It is for
<br />tbese, to us, very cogent reasons that
<br />we believe that the suggestion of Tho
<br />Gazette is both a practical and happy
<br />solution of our present party di1B-
<br />culties.—Cannon Falls Beeeon.
<br />Work Weakens The
<br />Kidoeys.
<br />Doan's Done Kidney Pills Have Great
<br />Service for People WhoWork
<br />in Hastings.
<br />Most Hastings people work every day
<br />in some strained, unnatural position—
<br />bending constantly over a desk—riding on
<br />jolting wagons or ears—doing laborious
<br />housework; lifting, reaching, or pulliug,
<br />or trying the back In a hundred and one
<br />other ways. All these strains tend to
<br />wear, weaken, and injure the kidneys
<br />until they fall behind in their work of
<br />filtering the poisons from the blood.
<br />Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys,
<br />put new strength in bad backs. Hast-
<br />ings cures prove it.
<br />Mrs. John Asplin, corner Sixth and
<br />Vermillion Streets, Hastings, Minn., says,
<br />"My son is subject to a great deal of
<br />jarring and jolting when riding on the
<br />train, and had so much work that re-
<br />quired stooping that his kidneys became
<br />weakened. His back bothered him a
<br />great deal, and 1 often beard him com-
<br />plain of soreness about his kidney regions.
<br />My husband had been troubled in this
<br />way for years, and during that time he
<br />suffered much pain and discomfort.
<br />Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to
<br />their attention, and were procured at F.'
<br />W. Finch's drug store. They proved to be
<br />the most strengthening and inviggraung
<br />medicine they had used. 1 have not
<br />heard them complain since using Doan's
<br />Kidney Pills, and feel that I can con-
<br />scientiously say that they have no fur-
<br />ther trouble."

<br />Respect Mors Essential Than 4.ovs.
<br />The most essential thing in mar-
<br />riage is respect It is above love,
<br />above compatibility, above even the
<br />priceless sense of humor. Respect will
<br />make even the "appalling intimacy"
<br />endurable and will bring one through
<br />the most trying disagreements with
<br />no bruise on the soul, whatever wounds
<br />there may be in the heart Therefore,
<br />men and women, never, never marry
<br />any one you don't really respect, how-
<br />ever passionately you may love, —
