You will wait for me “All the days of my life, if it has to be!” cried Edna Brewer, between smiles heroic and tears that wrenched i her loyal gentle heart. “I shall miss life on the old range, Edna,” said Hiram Walters, earnestly, “for T love the free hills, even the very cattle, but I feel I was made for something better.

Hiram,” said Edna sweetly, “but oh! it will seem very lonely with you gone away.” So in the gray cool dusk of the prairie eventide they parted, both | filled with hope, love, and, greatest of all, faith-each in the other and both in the fair promises of the future. There had ever been a lurking devo- tion to art in the rude but healthy nature of the young rancher. He could not draw, but he had a wonder- ful sense of color values and color beauty. A strolling artist had lighted the flame of genius in his ardent soul, and while Hiram could not create a “How Is the Connolsseur Business Get- ting Along?" or some old Aztee pottery and forth results radiant as a rare peach blown . It was a sirange incon- gruous accomplishinent and diflicult of analysis on the part of those who recognized his latent ability. They could not classify the gift nor direct its utility, yet they traced a discrim- inating talent that should be of some use in the world.

Hiram was induced by trickster to invest three hundred dol- lars of his little store in a speculation and saw it melt away like the snow. He secured work a clerk, but was not up to city ways and evaded a long apprenticeship. “I'm going to Ned Dunbar,” he de- cided.

I had to buy him a new outfit of brushes. Next to wishing to be an artist, which I know I can never be, I wouid like to-have a million doHars.” | ““Po distribute among the importu- nate guild, I suppose?” suggested Dun- bar. “Just that.” The next week the little art shop was closed, the unsold pictures re- turned to their owners and Hiram spent his last cont giving his loving friends a farewei' banquet. They missed his cheery, encourag- ing ways for a long time, and out on the ranch devoted, lonely Edna wrote, hoped, kept on loving, loyally, pa- tiently. “What has become of Walters?” a fellow artist asked of Dunbar one day. “I hear he is out at the big stock yards, a clerk with some live stock hous You see, he knows all about cattle.” And then, one dull evening as the about the main studio, working, dreaming, always waiting for some remarkable manifestations of fortune, Hiram “blew in.” He was well dressed, breezy, wild with delight at greeting the old, wist- ful, hungry crowd. His eyes sparkled, he jingled golden coins in his pocket. “I've made good and I've come he announced. “A banquet first, and then any strayed brother in actual need can call on this,” and he exhibited a great roll of banknotes. “Tell about it!” was the eager, unanimous cry. “Cows' ears,” was the strange re- joinder. “Laugh, stare, deride—it's a fact. Mixing my art aspirations with cattle down there at the stock yards, I made a discovery. Camel's hair is jood! T found a substitute— vastly improved brush material —inside cows’ I experimented. I went to a big artists’ supply house. I sold my discovery for a little fortune and- banquet!” Upon which uproarious occasion Ii- ram Walters raade a speech.

Tt is said that before the fourteenth century no one knew how to cut and polish diamonds. They were esteemed for their marvelous hardness, but not greatly admired for beauty. There is a tradition that a journeyman jeweler in Flar , Louis van rghem, dis- covered (he art of cutting diamond with diamond.
