She, Lora, had nothing to offer to Lewis Mar- tin except love, and he had not yet asked for it. Perhaps he might never do it. If he married Dorothy it would add at least a briet period of bliss to that lonely heart. Lora steeled her heart to a mighty sacrifice, Dorothy’s hand was pressed upon her own. It was feverishly hot. She pitied the longing spirit of the poor girl whose love was as consuming fire. “Dorothy,” she said, “I shall go away tomorrow to visit a distant rela- tive. I shall remain away until I hear from you. When you have gained your heart's wish, and not until then, will I return.” “Bless you! Oh, bless you!” sobbed the grateful Dorothy. “I shall win Lewis Martin's heart, for it will break my own if I do not.” The very foundation of the life of Lora Bissell seemed shaken the next morning. A letter came from Lewis Martin. It asked permission to call upon her two evenings ahead. Be- tween the lines she read a deep signi- ficance to the brief epistle. She did not answer it, At last to her distant refuge there came a letter from Dorothy. She was married to Lewis Martin. The lines bubled over with joy. She tried to solace her friend with gratitude un- bounded. Bride and groom went away to the city. Lora returned to her home and took up anew the heavy | burden of her loneliness and silenced love, Only casually did she hear from the Martins during the next four years. A little child was born to them. The father was winning a high rank in his profession. Then there were rumors of a great financial crash in which the fortune of his wife was swept away. Then a report of a new position in the far north, superintending some rail- road construction in the Yukon dis- trict. Then one day a rush telegram came to Lora. It was from Dorothy. It gave an address in a distant city. It read: “Come, quick. I am dying.” It was no exaggeration. The piti- ful heart of loyal Lora forgot all of the past save her steadfast girlhood love for the poor wife, whom she Adddaadaa sl 22l LT T2 T e e e e THE UNEX Now is your time To Buy an Automobile We have in stock twenty touring cars, with six more touring and six roadsters on side tracks.

He is probably dead—and I dying! And the little child, Lora. I've named her after you. What of her?” “Your relatives—" “They have answered to no appeal since I lost my fortune,” announced Dorothy despairingly. Lora gazed with tears at the little ' child so soon to be orphaned. “I will take the child, Dorothy,” ! she said simply. “She shall have all that love can give to make her hapry.” “Oh, may heaven bless you, my one true friend!” breathed the poor suf- ferer, And then a new life opened to Lora Bissell. It seemed as if the child were a gift from heaven, sent to bring peace and love to her lonely life. So completely had Lora done her duty, that despite the sadness, the regret of the past, a great joy grew within her heart. Two years went by and Lora cher- ished the littie one as her own. And then one dark, stormy night she an- swered a knock at the door, to face, brethless, aghast, the returned wan- derer—Lewis Martin. i He had a strange stirring story to tell. He was pale, thin, his eyes tell- ing of suffering and deprivation. Lost i in a terrific snowstorm, he had beeu i found nearly dead by an obscure tribe of Indians who had carried him to ! their distant camp. Illness, the se-| vere weather had held him practical- ly a captive for two years. He had returned to his former home | with good prospects for employment ’ to learn of his bereavement. He had | traced his child to his present hostess. “Aunty—mamma” spoke only a few words to little Mae, to have her un- | derstand that this was the papa of whom they thought every passing day | of their lives, “I have a good position offered me on the coast,” replied Martin. *“What shall I say to you, dear Miss Bissell, | for what you have done for me and { mine?” ! Lora’s heart was beating fiercely { with emotion and apprehension. He { had been taken away from her in the olden days. Was she now to be deprived of the solace of her lonely | days, of little Mae? | “Oh, what an aunty-mamma she is!" | i eried the little one lovingly. “And‘: wo never forgot you, papa. See.” The speaker ran to a stand in an alcove and took up a framed photo- graph of Martin, “Every night aunt-mama makes me look at your picture and say my little prayers. Then she cries and kisses the picture.” Lora's face was flooded with blushes. She trembled all over. “I know about—about your love and sacrifice for—for Dorothy,” spoke Lewis Martin in a husky tone. “She told me—too late. You are one of God's grand women!” His hand clasped her own. Now Lora looked up, and in the glance that swept from face to face there was no shadow of another parting, (Copyright, 1913, by W. G. Chapman.) ACCOUNTING FOR AGE OF ICE Sojentists Have Put Forward Argu- ment That It Was Due to Vol canic Dust In the Alr. A brief reference was recently made to the speculation of Prof. W. J. Humphreys that the great ice ages may have been caused by a vell of volcanic dust in the atmosphere, ' which reduced the heat from the sun. Dr. C. G. Abbot and F. E. Fowle and Professor Kimball, who keep the rec- ords of solar radiation in the United States, have shown that the Katmai volcanic dust cloud in the atmosphere in the summer of 1912 in the northern hemisphere so increased diffuse re- flection into space and absorption of heat in the upper atmosphere that the usual amount of the sun’s heat re- ceived at the earth’s surface was di- minished by one-tenth, Observations of the amount of heat radiated from the earth's surface, made at the same time by A. K. Ang- strola, show that on the other side of the account the presence of dust hindered the departure of heat from the earth's surface. But the effect of this hindrance was not so great as that offered to the reception of the solar heat—of which the wave length is shorter. The net result of thege opposite tendencies seems to have been a de crease of heat available to warm the lower atmosphere. Temperature ob- servations of high level stations in Europe and America bear this out and show a marked decrease of tempera- ture under the volcanic dust cloud at the end of June. Other periods in the last generation of marked decrease in the solar radiation received were the period 1883-1885, following the Kraka- toa eruption; 1888-1804, after the lmiYthr busband, Mr. Martin?’ m' | i | and other volcanoes; ang the period 19021904, following the tremendous —— Coon Upsets Traditions.
