For the first time in many days the air was clear of snow, but the dull congested cloud hanging low overhead, seemed self for a fresh outburst, ' for as soun as he got a home, prices went up, ! and he made $£1,000 by advance in values ‘just as cu falling off a log,’” No luck about ft. He saw good opportunity passing, and grasped be beyond his reach. Then he saved and planned, saved and worked, took some chatces of losing, with ever keen inter- est in life, and « glad heart, as he strove for and gained a home for himself and his loved ones. “‘God helps those that help them- | selves;” yet this man earned his home, with the added §£1,000, while his fellow workman, waiting for “luck,’”® got nothing and never will while he thus waits, nor ever get beyond paying rent for another’s house. 300 men in Lakeland today renting houses may do as well as he if they will, and get lots of fun and comfort out of the struggle, and in five years or sooner own “homes of their own.” If they don’t know this man of op- portunity or his doings, we will tell them all about how to see and catch these opportnn ities, and get your homes, and will make no! charge for it. ! We may not have on our lists what will bring them to you, but we shall be happy if you only go about getting them in good earn- est. Yet just now we can offer those want- ing a good thing their choice of 10, 20 or 40 acres of finest strawberry, truck and fruit land out of 120 choice acres in a good farm- ing community, near postoffice and only thrée miles from a live railway station, within ten miles of Lakeland- Many of these ‘‘opportunities” can be seen in our future every-other-day-ads.

At the sig- nal, he turned abruptly back in- to the room and made the door secura | behind him. He struck a light and stood surveying the small, boxlike : apartment with weary, unreconciled ; eyes. Instead of making him forget, | the five years’ exile—each day and‘* hour a link forged into a chain of de- ' liberate destiny—seemed but to bind him more keenly, more irrevocably, to ! the past. As he bitterly reviewed the crush- ing sorrow of that other life, with all | its ensuing emptiness and hurt, a va-I riety of emotions were depicted upon his thin, expressive face. But they ! passed as quickly as they came, and | Rogers lifted his head with a startled, | alert movement as a vague, but un: | mistakable sound struck on his | trained ear; a muffled cry of distress. | In a moment it repeated itself, sharp and human and despairing. i He jumped to his feet, hurried to the | door and flung it wide open. { There was a gust of biting air and a blinding whip of sleet in his eyes, | like the sting from thousands of tiny lashes. ' He stooped and touched the pros-! trate figure .with gentle hands, bui there was no response, and gathering | the unconscious men in his arms, he | staggered back into the cabin. As carefully as a woman might hnve‘ done, he placed him on his own rude | pallet, and piled the fire high with fresh fuel, the coals breaking instant- ly into a hissing blaze. Then he pro- cured a flask of brandy and forced a few drops of it between the sick man's teeth. He swallowed it spas- modically, and in a little while there were signs of life. Rogers left his chair and came up to him with a reassuring smile. “Feel any better now?” he asked. “Rogers,” he said, “I've been look- ing all over creation for you and I've found you at last.” “Looking for—me?” “For you, yes. I am a dying man. Look at me and you can see that.” “Consumption,” he went on, tap- ping his chest with one weak hand; “the doctors told me I couldn’t last a month.” “My dear fellow,” he protested, “I'm afraid--" | “No, no, no, I'm not. I know what | you'd say. I am in full possession of | all my senses. Would to God I was | not!” he put in fervently. “Years ago,” he pursued, after a brief pause, “I found out that she— my wife—loved you. She never cared ! for me, and she’s yours by all the | laws of heaven.” | He paused a moment out of sheer weakness, and wiped the cold drops from his mouth and forehead. When he had controlled himself sufficiently, he went on: “I loved her—God, I worshiped her, but I knew it was you she cared for, and not me. It did not take me a week to realize my mistake. And Rogers—"” His voice broke and trailed off to a whisper. There was a long, shuddering sigh, and the dying man's lids quivered suddenly over un- conscious eyes. Rogers sat for a moment as though turned to stone; his face was as white as the snow that hissed against the windows; his eyes bright a startled. But suddenly his features changed, lightened and fleeting fingers touched them with a ripple of silent Joy. A moment, and the dying man opened his eyes agaln—they were quite rational now. He looked up ap- pealingly into Rogers’ face and groped outside the cover with cold, trembling hands. Rogers caught them suddenly in Kis warm, strong grasp, and his head dropped forward on his breast. A minute passed, two, three. An hour went by; then another, and neither stirred. At midnight the dis- tant sound of a bell startled Ro_ers from his reverie. He looked up swift- ly, and bent to catch the sound of the other’s heart-beats. But the last great enemy had come. Unusually Versatile Mine. Mutations among mines are not un- common. Many that began as pro- ducers of one kind of ore have in the course of time turned into another kind. The Highland Boy mine of Bingham, Utah, is a recent and strik- ing example. It began as a gold mine, in which class it was of no great account. Then it became a rich and profitable copper mine, its per- formance as such making it famous. 1t is no longer much good as a copper mine, but lately it has become a first- class lead mine.—Engineering and Mining Journal, i THE EVENING TELEGRAM, LAKELAND, FLA,, DEC. 29, 1918.
