[CONTINUED.]

"There Thul been a week of wild anxi­ety and excitement at Sibley. It was known through tho columns of tho press that tho regiment had hurried forward from tho railway tho instant it reached tho Colorado trail; that it could not hopo to get through to tho valley of tho Spirit W olf without a light, and that tho moment it succeeded in joining hands with tho cavalry already thero a vigorous attack would bo made on tho Indians. Tho news of tho rescue of tho survivors of Thornton’s command camo first, and with it tho tidings that May­nard and his regiment wero met only 80 miles from tho secno and wero pushing forward. Tho next nows came two days later, and a wail went up oven whilo men wero shaking hands and rejoicing over tho gallant fight that had been made, and women wore weeping for joy and thanking God that those whom they held dearest wero safe. It was down among the wives of the sergeants and other veterans that tho blow struck hardest at Sibley, for tho stricken officers were unmarried men, whilo among tho rank and file thero wore several who never camo hack to tho littlo ones who bore their name. Company B had suffered most, for tho Indians had charged fierce­ly on its deployed but steadfast line. Arinitago almost choked and broko down when tolling tho colonel about it that night as he lay under tho willows. “ It was the first smile I had seen on his face sinco I got back—that with which ho looked up in my eyes and whispered goodby—and died, just after wo drove

S c whispered goodby and died. them back. My tarn camo later. ” Old Sloat, too, “ had his customary crack, ” as he expressed it—a shot through tho wrist that made him hop and swear savagely until some of the men got to laughing at tho comical figure he cut, and then ho turned and damned them with hearty good w ill and seemed all oblivions of the bullets that went zip­ping past his frosting head. Young Rol­lins, to Ms inexpressible pride and com­fort, had a bullet hole through Ms scout­ing hat and another through Ms shoul­der strap that raised a big welt on the wMte skin beneath, but, to the detri­ment of promotion, no captain was kill­ed, and Jerrold gave tho only file.

Tho one question at Sibley was, What will Nina Beaubien do?

She did notMug. She would see no­body from tho instant tho news came. She had hardly slept at night, was al­ways awake at dawn and out at the gate to get the earliest copy of the morn­ing papers, but the news reached them at nightfall, and when some of the la­dies from tho fort drove in to offer their sympathy and condolence in the morn­ing and to make tender inquiry tho an­swer at tho door was that Miss Nina saw nobody, that her mother alone was. with her, and that “ she was very still. ’ ’ And so it went for some days. Then there came tho return of the command to Sib­ley, and hundreds of people went up from town to see tho six companies of the fort garrison march up the winding road amid tho thunder of welcome from' the guns of the light battery and the exultant strains of tho band. Mrs. May­nard and Alice were the only ladies oft the circle who were not there. A son and* brother had joined them after long ab-. sence, at Aunt Grace’s cottage at Sab-! Ion, was the explanation, and the colo­nel would bring them home in a few1 days, after he had attended to some inn' portant matters at the fort, Xu tho first place, Chester had to seo to it that the tongue of scandal was slit, so far as the colonel’s household was concerned, and* all good people notified that no suck thing had happened as was popularly^ supposed—aad “ everybody” received the announcement with the remark that she knew all along it couldn’t he so—;' and that a grievous and absurd but most inortifying "blunder had been made. * It was a'most unpleasant ghost to down,the shadow of that scandal, for it would come up to the surface of garri­son chat at all manner of confidential moments, but no man or woman could safely speak of it to Chester. It was gradually assumed that he was the man who had done all the blundering and that he wail supersensitiye on the sob* jeefc

There was another thing never satis­factorily explained to some of the garri­son people, and that was Nina Beau- bien’s strange conduct. In less than a week she was seen on the street in col­ors — brilliant colors — when it was known she had ordered deep mourning, and then she suddenly disappeared and went with her silent old mother abroad, f o this HQ woman in society under;stands it, for when she came back, long, long afterward, it was a subject on wMch she would never- speak, There were one or two who ventured to ask, and the answer was, “ For reasons that concern me alone.” But it took no great power of mental vision to see that her heart wore black for him forever.

Bis letter explained it all. She had reoeived i t with a paroxysm of passion­ate grief and joy, kissed it, covered it with wildest caresses before she began to read, and hen, littlte. by little, as the Words unfolded before her staring eyes, turned cold as stone:

“ It is my last night of life, Nina, and X am glad ’ tis so. Proud and sensi­tive as I arp, the knowledge that every man in my regiment has turned from me; that I have not a Mend among them; that there is no longer a place for mo in their midst-^-more than all, that I deseryo their pontempt—has bro­ken iny heart, W e will be in battle be­fore the setting of another sun. Any man who seeks death in Indian fight can find it easily enough, and I can Compel their respoct in spite of them­selves. They w ill not recognize me, liv­ing, as one of them, but dying on the field they have to place mo on their roll of honor.

‘ ‘But now I tarn .to you.

It will sting at first; but, like the surgeon’s knife, its out is mercy. Nina, tho very night I came to you on the bluffs, tho very night you periled yonr honor, to have that parting inter­view, I went to yon with a lie on my lips. I had told her wo woro nothing to each other, you and I. More than that, I was seeking her lovo. I hoped I could win her, and had she loved me I would have tamed from you to make her my wife. Nina, I loved Alice Renwick. Goodby. Don’t mourn for me after this. ”

CHAPTER N XThey wore having a family conclave

at Sablon. The furlough granted Ser­geant McLeod on account of wound re­ceived in aotion with hostile Indians would soon oxpire, and the question was, Should ho ask an extension, apply for a discharge or go back and rejoin Ms troop? It was a matter on which there was much diversity of opinion. Mrs. Maynard should naturally be per­mitted first choice, and to her wish there was evory reason for according deep and tender consideration. No words can toll of the rapture of that re­union with her long lost son. It was a scene over wMch the colonel could nev­er ponder without deep emotion. The telegrams and letters by which ho caro- fnlly prepared her for Frederick’s com­ing were all insufficient. She knew well that hor boy must have greatly changed and matured, but when tMs tall, bronz­ed, hoarded, stalwart man sprang from the old red omnibus and threw Ms one serviceable arm around her trembling form the mother was utterly overcome.

Alice left them alone together a full hour before even she intruded, and lit­tle by little, as the days went by and Mrs. Maynard realized that it was really her Fred who was whistling about the cottage or booming trooper songs in his great basso profundo and glorying in his regiment and tho cavalry life he had led, a wonderful content and joy shone in her handsome face. It was not until the colonel announced that it was about time for them to think of going bank to Sibley that the cloud came. Fred said he couldn’t go.

In fact, tho colonel himself had been worrying a littlo over it. As Fred Ren- wiok, the tall, distinguished young man in civilian costume, he would be wel­come anywhere; bnt, though his garb was that of the sovereign citizen so long as Ms furlough lasted, there were hut two weeks more of it left, and officially he was nothing more nor less than Ser­geant McLeod, Troop B, — th cavalry, and there was no precedent for a colo­nel’s entertaining as an honored gnest and social equal one of the enlisted men of the army. Ho rather hoped that Fred would yield to his mother’s entreaties and apply for a discharge. His wound and the latent trouble with his heart would probably render it an easy mat­ter to obtain, and yet he was ashamed of himself for the feoling.

Then there was Alice. It was hardly to he supposed that so very high bred a young woman would relish the idea of being seen around Fort Sibley on the arm of her brother, the sergeant; but, wonderful to relate, Miss Alice took a radically different view of the whole situation. So far from wishing Fred out of the army, she importuned him day after day until he got out his best uniform, wth its resplendent chevrons and stripes of vivid yellow and the yelr low helmet cords," though they were bu$ humble worsted, and "when" be came forth in that dress, with the bronze med­al on his left breast and the sharpshoot­er’s silver cross, Ms tall, athletio figure showing to such advantage, his dark, southern, manly features so enhanced by contrast with his yellow facings, she clapped her hands with a cry of delight and sprang into his one available arm and threw her own about his neck and Mssed him again and again.

Even mamma had to admit he looked astonisMngly well, but Alice declared she would never thereafter be recpnpil- ed to seeing him in anything but (V cav* alvy uniform. The. cplonei' found her not' at aU of her mother’s way of think­ing. She saw no reason why Fred should leave the service. Other sergeants had won their commissions every year. Why not he? Even if it were some time in coming, was there shame or degradation in being a cavalry sergeant? Not a bit of it! Fred Mmself was loath to quit. He was getting a little homes^pk, tporr homesick for tbe boundless life and space and air of the broad frontier, homesick for the rapid movement and Vigorous hours in tho saddle and on the scout. His arm was healing, and such a delight of a letter had come from his captain, telling him that the adjutant had just been to see Mm about the new staff of tbe regiment. The gallant ser: gpant major, a' young Prussian of paark- pij ability, had been killed early in the campaign. The vacancy must soon be filled, and the colonel and the adjutant both thought at once of Sergeant Mc­Leod. “ I won’t stand in your way, ser­geant,” wrote his troop commander, “ but yon know that old Ryan is to be discharged at the end of his sixth en­listment, the 10th of next month. There is no man Iwpuld sooner see in his place as first sergeant o f iny troop than yourself, and I hate to lose ypu. But, as it will be for the gain and the good of the whqle regimen^ you ought to accept the adjutant’ offer, ,411 the men rejoice to hear you are recovering so fash and all will be glad to see Sergeant McLeod back again. ”

Even Mrs. Maynard could not but see the pride and comfort tMs letter gave her son. Her own longing was to hqve him established in some business in tbe east, but he said frankly he h?4 no taste for it and would pnly pine for the ol(i life in the saddle. There were other reasons, too, said he, why he felt that he could not go back to. New York, and Ms voice trembled, and Mrs. May? nard said no more, It was the sple allu­sion he had made to the oldj Old sor­row, hot it was plain that the recovery was incomplete,'

The colonel and the doctor at Sibley believed that Fred could be carried past the mqdical board by a little manage- paent, and everything began to look as though he would have his way. All they were waiting for, said the colonel, was to hear from Armitage. He was still at Fort Russell with the headquar­ters and several troops of the— —th cavalry. His wound was too severe for him to travel farther for weeks to coma, but he could write, and he had lpeeq consulted. They ivpre sitting ]indpr. fhg broad piazza' 'at Sablon, looking out 5$ the' loVely, plpgul |akp ‘ sm&'talking"i| pver among themselves.

’ ‘•‘•I have always leaned on Armitage ever since I first came to the regiment and found him adjutant, ” said the colo­nel. “ I always found Ms judgment clear, bnt since onr last experience I have begun to look upon Mm as infalli­ble.” "

Alice Renwick’s face took pn a flpod of crimson asshe sat there hyherbroth-

er’s side, silent and attentive. 'Only within the week that followed their re­turn'—the colonel’s and her brother’s— had tho story of tho strango complica­tion been revealed to them. Twice had she heard from Fred’s lips the story of Frank Armitage’s greeting that frosty morning at tbe springs. Time and again had she made her mother go over tho colonel’s account of the confidence and faith ho had expressed in there being a simple explanation of the whole mys­tery and of Ms indigilaut refusal to at­tach one moment’s suspicion to her. Shocked, stunned, outraged as sho felt at tho mere fact that such a story had gained an instant’s credence in garrison ciroles, sho was overwhelmed by tho weight of circumstantial evidence that had been arrayed against her.

Only little by little did her mother revoal it to her. Only after several days did Fred repeat the story of Ms night adventure and his theft of her picture, of his narrow escape and of his subse­quent visit to tho cottage. Only grad­ually had her mother revealed to her the circumstances of Jerrold’s wager With Sloat and tho direful consequences, of his double absences tho very nights on which Fred had made his visits, of tho suspicions that resulted, the accusa­tions and Ms refusal to explain and clear her name. Mrs. Maynard felt vaguoly relieved to see how slight an impression tho young man had made on her daugh­ter’s heart. Alice seemed bnt littlo sur­prised to hear of the engagement to Nina Beaubien, of her rush to his rescue and their romantic parting. The tragedy of his death hushed all further talk on that subject. There was one of which she could not hear enough, and that was about tho man who had been most in­strumental in tho rescue of her name and honor. Alice had only tender sor­row and no reproach for her stepfather when, after her mother told her the story of his sad experience 20 years be­fore, she related his distress of mind and suspicion when he road Jcrrold’s letter. It was then that Alice said, “ And against that piece of evidence no man, I suppose, would hold me guilt­less?”

“ You axe wrong, dear,” was her mothor’3 answer. “ It was powerless to move Captain Armitage. Ho scouted the idea of your guilt from the moment he set eyes on yon and never rested un­til he had overturned tho last atom of evidence. Even I had to explain,” said her mother, “ simply to confirm his the­ory of tho light Captain Chester had seen and tho shadows and the form at the window. It was just exactly as Ar­mitage reasoned it out. I was wretched' and wakeful, sleeping hut fitfully that nighft I arose and took some bromide about 8 o’clock cCnd soon afterward beard a fall or- a noise like one. I thought of you and got up and went in your room, and all was quiet there, hut it seemed close and warm, so I raised your shade and then left both your door and mine open and went back to bed.

“ I dozed away presently and then woke feeling all startled again, don’t you know—the sensation one experi­ences when aroused from sleep, certain that there has been a strange and star­tling noise, and yet tumble to tell wbat it was? I lay still a moment, but the colonel slept through it all, and I won­dered at it. I knew thero had been a shot or something, bnt could not bear to disturb him. At last I got up again and went to your room to be sure yon were all right, and yon wero sleeping soundly still, hut a breeze was begin­ning to blow and flap your shade to and fro, so I drew it and went out, taking my lamp with me this time and softly closing your door behind me. See how it all seemed to fit in with everything else that had happened. It took a man With a will of his own and an unshak­en faith in woman to stand firm against such evidence, ”

And, though Alice Renwick was si­lent, she appreciated the fact none the less. Day after day she clung to her stalwart brother’s side. She had ceased to ask questions about Captain Armi­tage and that strange greeting after the first day or two; bnt, oddly enough, she could never let Mm talk long of any subject but that campaign, of Ms ride • ith the captain to. the front, of the Jong talk they had had, and then the stirring fight and tho magnificent way in which Armitage had handled his long skirmish line. He was enthusiastic in Ms praise of the tall Saxon captain. He soon noted how silent and absorbed she sat when he was the theme of discourse. He incidentally mentioned little things “ he” had said about “ her” that morm ing and marked how her. color- rose and' her pyes [lashed quick, joyful, ques­tioning glances at his face, then fell in maiden shyness. Ho had speedily gang­ed the cause of that strange excitement displayed by Armitage at seeing him the morning he rode in with the scout. Now he was gauging with infinite de­light the other side of thp question. Then, brother like, he began [a twit and [ease her, and that was the last of the Confidences.

AU the same it 'was an eager group that surrounded the colonel the evening he came down with the captain’s letter. “ It settles the thing in my mind. 'We’ ll go hack to Sibley tomorrow, and as for you, Sergeant Major Fred, yonr name has gone in for a commission, and I ’ve no doubt a very deserving, sergeant will be. spoiled, in'making a very good for nothing second lieutenant. Get yon hack to. your regiment, sir, and call on Qaptain Armitage as. scon as you reach Fprt Russoll and tell Mm you are much Obliged, He has been blowing your trumpet for you there, and as some of those cavalrymen have sense enough to appreciate the opinion of such a soldier as my ex-adjutant—some of them, mind yon; I don’t admit that all cavalrymen have sense enough to keep them out of perpetual trouble—you cam? in f°r a. hearty indorsement^ and you’ll probably- be up before the next board for exam:, ination. Go. and bone your constitution and tbe rule of three, and who was th? father pf Zebedee’s children, and the or­der of the Ptolemies and the Selencidae, and other such things that they’ll be sure to ask you as indispensable to the mental outfit o f an Indian fighter. ” It Was evident that the colonei was in joy, pus mood, but Alice was silent. She Wanted to hear the letter. He wonld have handed it to Frederick, bnt both Mrs. Maynard and Aunt Grace clamored to hear it read aloud, so he cleared his throat and began:

“ Fred’s chances for a commission are good, as the inclosed papers will show you, but even were this not the case I would have but one tMng to say in an­swer to your letter—he should go back to Ms troop, ' ' *

“ ■^hateyerqur friends and fellow cit­izens, may. fliink on the subject, 1 hold thaf tho professioR of the soldier is to thq full as honorable, as any in civil life,

. and it is liable ht' any moment to be more useful. J dcrnot mean the officer alone. I say and mean tho soldier. As for me, I would rather be first sergeant of my troop or company or- sergeant major of my regiment than any lieuten­ant in it except the adjutant. Hope of promotion is a ll. hat pan make a snbal- fern’s lifepridnrable, bui(j [he staff, ser-. geant or the firstr^ptgeant, honored and respected by "his officers, decorated for

bravery b y congress anS TcCkcG up to by Ms comrades, is a king among men. The pay has nothing to do with it. I say to Renwick, ‘Come back as soon as your wound will let you, ’ and I envy him tho welcome that will bo his.

‘ ‘As for me, I am even more eager to get back to you all, but things look very dubious. Tho doctors shako their heads at .anything under a month and say I ’ll be lucky if I eat my Thanksgiving din­ner with you. If trying to got well is going j:o help, October shall not bo done with before B company will report me present again.

“ I need not tell you, my dear old friend, how I rojoico with you in your —bum and haw and this is all about something else,” goes on the colonel in malignant disregard of the longing looks in tho eyes of throe women, all of whom aro eager to hear tho rest of it, and one of whom wouldn’t say so for worlds. ' ‘‘Writo to mo often. Remem­ber mo warmly to tho ladies of your household. I fear Miss Alice would de­spise this wild, open prairie country. Thore is no goldcnrod hero, and I so of­ten seo her as—hum and hum, and all that sort of talk of no interest to any­body,” says he, with a quizzical look over his “ bows” at tho lovely face and form bending forward with forgetful eagerness to hear how “ ho so often sees her.” And there is a great bunch of golden red in her lap now and a vivid blush on her cheek. The colonel is wax­ing as frivolous as Fred and quite as great a tease.

And then October comes, and Fred has gone, and tho colonel and his house­hold aro back at Sibley, where the gar­rison is enraptured at seeing them, and where tho women precipitate themselvos upon them in tumultuous welcome. If Alice cannot quito make up hor mind to return the kisses and shrinks slightly from tho rapturous embrace ox some of tho younger and more impulsive of the sisterhood, if Mrs. Maynard is a trifle mor<H distant and stately than was the ease before they went away, the garri­son does not resent it. The ladies don’ t wonder they feel indignant at the way people behaved and talked, and each lady is sure that the behavior and the talk were all somebody elsels—not by any possible chance could it be laid at the door* of the speaker.

And Alice is the reigning bello be­yond dspnte, though there is only sub­dued gayety at the fort, for tho memory of their losses at the Spirit W olf is still fresh in the minds of the regiment. Bnt no man alludes to the events of the black August night; no woman is per­mitted to address cither Mrs. Maynard or her daughter on tho subject. There are some who seek to be confidential and who cautiously feel their way for an opening, but the mental sparring is vain. There is an indefinable some­thing that tells the intruder, “ Thus far and no farther.” Mrs. Maynard is courteous, cordial and hospitable; Alice sweet and gracious and sympathetic even, but confidential never.

And then Captain Armitage, late in the month, comes home on crutches, and Ms men give him a welcome that makes the rafters ring, and he rejoices in it and thanks them from Ms heart, bnt there is a welcome his eyes plead for that wonld mean to Mm far more than any other. How wistfully he stud­ies her face! How unmistakable are the love and worsMp in every tone ! How quickly the garrison sees it all, and how mad the garrison is to see whether or not ’ tis welcome to her! But Alice Renwick is no maiden to be lightly won. Tho very thought that tho garri­son had so easily given her over to Jer­rold is enough to mantle her cheek with indignant protest. She accepts Ms at­tentions as she does those of the young­er officers, with consummate grace. She shows no preference; will grant no fa­vors. She makes fair distribution of her dances at the hops at the fort and tho parties in town. There are young civil­ians who begin to be devoted in society and to come ont to the fort on every possible opportunity, and these, too, she welcomes with laughing grace and cor­diality. She is a glowing, radiant, gor­geous beauty this cool autumn, and she rides and drives and dances, and, the women say, flirts and looks handsomer every day, and poor Armitage is begin­ning to look very grave and depressed. “ He wooes and wins not,” is the cry.

His wound has almost healed so far as the thigh is concerned, and his crutches are discarded, bnt his heart is bleeding, and it tells on Ms general condition. Tho doctors cay he ought to be getting well faster, and so they tell Miss Ren­wick—at least somebody does—but still she relents not, and it is something be­yond tho garrison's power of conjecture to decide wbat tho result will be. Into her pretty white and yellow room no one penetrates except at her invitation, even when the garrison ladies are spend­ing the day at the colonel’s, and even if they did there wonld he no visible sign hy which they could judge whether his flowers were treasured or his picture honored above others. Into her brave and beautiful nature none can gaze and say with any confidence either “ she loves” or “ she loves not,” "Winter comes, with biting cold and blinding snow, and still there is no sign. The joyous holidays, the glad New Year, are almost at hand, and still there is no Symptom of surrender. No one dreams of the depth and reverence and grati­tude and loyalty and strength of the love that is burning in her heart until all of a sudden, in the most unexpected and astonishing way, it bursts forth in sight of all.

They had been down skating on the slough, a number of tho youngsters and the daughters of the garrison. Rollins was thero doing tho devoted to Mamie Gray, and already there were gossips. wMspering that she would soon forget she ever knew such a beau as Jerrold in the new found happiness of another one. Hall was, there with the doctor’s pretty daughter, and Mrs. Hoyt was matron- izing tho party, wMch would, of-course, have been incomplete without Alice. She had been skating hand in hand with a.devoted young subaltern in the artil­lery, apd poor Armitage, whose leg was unequal to skating, had been ruefully admiring the scene. He had persuaded Sloat to go out and walk with Mm, and Sloat went, but the hollow mockery of tho whole tMng became apparent to Mm after they had been watching the skat­ers awhile, and he got cMlled and wanted Armitage to push ahead. The captain said he believed bis leg' was too, stiff for further trauiping- and would he the better fp[ a rest, and Sloat loft him.

Heavensj bow beautiful sbe was, With her sparkling eyes and radiant col­or, glowing with the graceful exercise! He sat there on. an old log watching the skaters as they flew by him and striving to keep up an impartial inter­est, or an appearance of it, for tho other girls. But the red sun was going down, and twilight was on them all of a sud­den, and bo could see nothing but that face and form. He closed Ms eyes a mo­ment to shut out the too- eager glare of the glowing disk taking its last fierce peep at them over the western bluffs, and as he closed them the same vision came back—the picture that had haunt­ed his every living, dreaming nioxneut since the be^tifu l August Sunday in

the woodland lano at Sablon. ’With’ nn- dying love, with changeless passion, Ms life was given over to tho fair, slender maiden he had seen in all tho glcry of the sunshine and the goldenrod, stand­ing with uplifted head, with all her soul shining in her beautiful eyes and thrilling in her voice. Both worshiping and worshiped was Alice Renwick as she sang her hymn of praise in unison wirh the swelling chorus that floated through the trues from tho little brown church upon the MIL From that day she was Queen Alice in every thought, and ho her loyal, faithful knight for weal or woe.

Boom went tho sunset gun far up on tho parade above them. ’Twas dinner time, and tho skaters wero compelled to give up their pastime. Armitage set Ms teeth at the entirely too devotional at­titude of tho artilleryman as be slowly and lingeringly removed hor skates and turned away in that utterly helpless frame of xnind which will overtake the strongest men on similar occasions. He had been sitting too long in the cold and was chilled through and stiff, and Ms wounded leg seemed numb. Leaning heavily on his stout stick, he began slowly and painfully tho ascent to the railway end chose for the purpose a winding path that was far less steep, though considerably longer, than the sharp climb tho girls and their escorts made so light of.

One after another tho glowing faces of tho fair skaters appeared above tho embankment, and their gallants care­fully convoyed them across the icy and slippery track to the wooden platform beyond. Armitage, toiling slowly up Ms pathway, hoard their blithe laughter and thought with no little bitterness that it was a case of ‘ ‘out of sight, out of mind, ’ ’ with Mm as with better men. What scuso was there in his long de­votion to her? Why stand between ber and tho far more natural choice of a lover nearer ber years? “ Liko unto like” was nature’ s law. It was flying in tho face of Providence to expect to win tho lovo of one so young and fair when others so young and comely craved it. Tbe sweat was beaded on his fore­head as bo neared tbe top and camo in sight of tho platform. Yes, they bad no thought of him. Already Mrs. Hoyt was half way up tbo wooden stairs, and the others were scattered more or less between that point and the platform at tho station. Far down at the south end paced the fur clad sentry. There it was an easy step from the track to the boards, and there, with much laughter, but no difficulty, tho young officers had lifted their fair charges to tbo walk; All were chatting gayly as they turned away to take tbo wooden causeway from the station to the stairs, and Miss Ren­wick was among tbe foremost at the point where it left tbe platform. Here, however, she glanced back and (ben about ber, and then bending down began fumbling at tbo buttons of her boot.

“ Oh, permit me, Miss Renwick;” said her eager escort. “ I will button it .”

“ Thanks, no. Please don’t wait, good people. I ’ll be with you in an instant. ”

And so the other girls, absorbed in talk with their respective gallants, pass-

“ Oh, permit me, Miss Semoick ” said her eager escort. “I will button it.”

ed her by, and then Alice- Renwick again stood erect and looked anxiously but quickly back,

“ Captain Armitage is not in sight, and wo ought not to leave him. He may not find it easy to climb to that plat­form,” she said.

“ Armitage? Oh, he’ll come on all right,” answered the batteryman, with easy assurance. “ Maybe be has gone round by tbo road. Even if he hasn’ t, I ’ve seen Mm make that in ono jump many a time. He’s an active old buffer for bis years. ”

“ But his w'ound may prove too much for that jump now. Ah, there he comes,” she answered, with evident re­lief, and just at the moment, too, tho forage cap of the tall soldier i'oso slow­ly into view some distance up the track, and he came walking slowly down the sharp curve toward the platform, the same sharp curve continuing on ont of sight behind Mm—behind the high and rocky blnff.

“ He’s taken the long way up,” said the gunner. “ W ell, shall we go on?”

“ N otyet,” sbe said, with eyes that were glowing strangely and a voice that trembled. Her cheeks, too, were paling. “ Mr. Stuart, I ’m sure I beard the roar of a train echoed back from the other side. ”

“ Nonsense, Miss Renwick! There’s no train either way for two hours yet. ”

But she bad begun to edge her way back toward the platform, auct be could hot but follow. Looking across the in­tervening space, a rocky hollow 20 feet in depth, he could see that the captain had reached tho platform and was seek­ing'for a good place to stop up; then that be lifted bis right foot and placed it on tbe planking and with bis cane and the stiff, wounded left leg strove to push Mmself on. Had there been a hand to. help him, all would have been easy enough, but there was none, and the plan would not work. Absorbed in his efforts, lie could not see Stuart, He did not see that Miss Renwick had left her companions and was retracing her steps to get back to the platform. He heard a sudden dull roar from the recks across the stream, then a sharp, shrill whistle just around the bluff. My God! a train, and that man there alone, helpless, de­serted! Stuart gave a shout of agony,* ‘Back-—roll hack over the hank!”

Arinitago glanced around, determin­ed, gave one mighty effort, the iron fer- ruled stick slipped on the icy track, and down he went-, prone between the glisi toning rails even as tho black, vomiting monster came thundering round the bend. Ho had struck his head upon the iron and was stunned, not senseless, bnt scrambled to Ms hands, and knees and strove to crawl away. Even as he did so he heard a shriek of angnish in his ears,, and with one wild leap Alice Ren­wick came flying from tho platform in the very face of advancing death, and the next instant, her arm clasped about Ms heck, his strong arms tightly clasp­ing her, they were lying side by side, bruised, stunned, bnt safe, in a wel­coming snowdrift half way down the

Armitage, clasping Queen Alice to his heart, was half rising from tho blessed mantle of tho snow, and she, her head upon Ms broad shoulder, was smiling faintly up into his face. Then tbe glorious eyes closed in a deathlike swoen.

Of all the lovely women theie assembled the bride by common consent stood unrivaled— Queen Alice indeed. There was somo difference c f opinion among authorities as to who was really tho finest looking and most soldierly among the throng of officers in tho conventional full dress uniform. Many thero wero who gave the palm to tho tall, dark, slender lieuten­ant of calvary who wore Ms shoulder knots fer tho first time on tMs occasion, and who for a man from tho ranks seemed consummately at home in tho manifold and trying duties of a grooms­man. Sirs. Maynard, leaning on 1ns arm at a later hoar and looking up raptur­ously in his bronzed features, had no divided opinion. WMlo others had by no means so readily forgotten or for­given the mad freak that so nearly in­volved them all in wretched misunder­standing, she had nothing but rejoicing in his whole career. Proud of tho gal­lant officer who had won tho daughter whom she loved so tenderly, she still believes, iu tbo depths of. tho boundless mother love, that no man can quite sur­pass her soldier son.

A raw egg is an excellent tonic with wMch to begin theso warm days. It is strengthening and tends to prevent that tired feeling so prevalent at tMs season of the year. If prepared in the follow­ing way, it is really a delicious drink: Put the yolk of an egg into a dish with a teaspoonfnl of white sugar and a tea- spoonful of orange or lemon juice and heat lightly together with a fork. Put the wMte on a plate and add a pinch of salt. Then with a broad bladed knife beat it to a stiff froth. Now, as lightly as possible, mix all together in the dish. Then as lightly transfer it to a clean tamblerj which it w ill nearly fill i f properly made. It must not stand in a warm place, as it soon becomes liquid and loses its snowy look.

TJis W o r t o f D ost.Dust has a very large sharo in nearly

all the phenomena of the earth’s atmos­phere. It is wbat makes tho clear sky appear bine*, and when we look up into the : by wo seo tho dust in the atrnos- j aero illuminated by the sun. There is nothing else bofore us that can permit the light to reach the eye. Light goes invisible, straight through all gases, whatever their chemical composition. The dust catches it, reflects it in every direction, and so causes tho whole at­mosphere to appear clear in tho same way that it makes the sunbeam visible in tho darkened room. Without dust there would be no blue firmament The sky would he as dark as or darker than we seo it in tho finest moonless nights. The glowing disk of tho sun wonld stand immediately upon this dark back­ground, and the samo sharp contrast would prevail upon tho illuminated sur­face of the earth— blinding light where the sun’s rays fall and deep black shadows where they do not.

Only tbo light of tho moon and tho stars, which would remain visible in the daytime, would be able to temper this contrast in a slight degree. Tho il­lumination of the earth’s surface would he liko that we see with the telescopo on the lunar landscapes, for tho moon has no atmospheric envelope that can hold floating dust. Wo then owe to dust tho oven moderately tempered daylight, adapted now to our eyes, and it is that which contributes much to the beauty of our landscapo scenery.—Dr. P.

Prof. Estabrook Dead.H e H nd B een fo r 47 Years a M ichigan

Educator.Prof. Joseph Estahrook died at Oli­

vet, Mich., late Saturday night, aged 75 years. His illness was o f but a few days duration. Imparting knowledge to others had been his life work, and his love of study kept him well abreast of the times. He was a minister of the gospel, and for fourteen years had been connected with Olivet college.

He was bom in Bath, N . H., in 1S20, and completed his education in Oberlin college, Ohio. He took charge of the schools at Ypsilanti, in this state, in 1853, and remained their fourteen years. He then took charge of the schools at East Saginaw five years, when he returned to Ypsilanti to as" sume the principalship of the state normal schools. For nine years he filled that position, accepting a posi­tion in Olivet college in 1SS0, and there remaining until his death. Thus were forty-seven years of life spent in school work in Michigan. In 1S70, the Rej ub- licans elected him a Regent o f the University, which position he held eight years. In 1SSG. he was elected State Superintendent of public In­struction, and re-elected in 1S88, by an increased majority.

The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon.

In the News o f Oct. 2 was the fol­lowing card:

NOT CLOSED DOWN.The article in your issue of Oct. l,

saying that the Round Oak Stove Works closed down indefinitely, is not correct. We are closed down one week that our men may visit our district fair.

The coroner’s jury could not agree as to the cause o f George Ames’ death.

Every­thing possible will be done to appre­hend the murderers.

B roke Her W heel.Mr. Lardner’s steam yacht met with

a slight accident, on the return trip to Niles, on last Thursday afternoon. Her propellor struck a rock and broke the wheel. The accident to the wheel laid the yacht up at Niles until a new propellor uas obtained. The stoppage of this popular boat has been a great disappointment to a number o f per­sons, who have gone to the river for the purpose o f enjoying a sail up the river. A new propeller was put on the boat and trips were to be resum­ed on Wednesday.

Who ever saw nicer weather?Everybody is taking advantage of

the excellent weather to clear up their fall work.

Wheat sowing is finished, and corn catting nearly at an end.

Cider and sorghum mills have been pretty busy, for the last week or two.

Our school is progressing finely. One of our seventh grade pupils passed a satisfactory ninth grade examination in Buchanan High school, recently.

A number o f young people surprised Will Weaver, last Wednesday evening. A ll enjoyed themselves, and will like­ly visit him again.

Miss Ida Kool has returned from visiting her sister, in Chicago.

Our merchant, L . H. Kempton, says trade is better, but we believe it is on­ly because his wife has come home from a visit.

One thing that is apparently being overlooked by the voters of this coun­ty is the fact that, the question of bonding the county to the tune of §70,000 for the luxury of a court house at St. Joseph, will be submitted to the voters, in the November election. It is to be hoped that the supreme court will reach a decision on the county seat removal appeal before th airtime, and avoid the necessity of taking the vote at all. In case the question is not decided before election, each voter should give the matter careful thought and be able to go to the polls with his mind fully settled as to the way to vote.

OUR STATE TICKET.Tlio Republicans of Michigan, repre­

sented at Grand Rapids in the largest convention o f delegates that has ever assembled in the history of their party, presented for the suffrages of the people a state ticket which is above cavil or legitimate criticism. It stands without a flaw. Every candidate upon it is a representative citizen. Each one has achieved success in his own line o f work. Nearly all of them have heen tried in the^vcry offices to which they ask election*and not one has been found wanting. The election of this ticket cannot fail to give the people what they demand—a vigorous, honest and economical state administration.

The administration of Gov. Rich, who asks for a re-election, is one that the people will never forget. If there is one quality In a man which more than another commands the respect o f the American people it Is manly cour­age—not mere animal courage—hut moral courage. The fearless discharge of duty, regardless o f personal feel­ings, is sublime, and the people have had some remarkable exhibitions of it during Gov. Rich's administration. No governor; unless it was that noble war governor whom the Republican party gave to the state of Michigan—Austin Blair—ever had greater responsibilities cast upon him than Gov. Rich has had. And he was never known to flinch. A sturdy discharge of duty has character­ized his entire official course.

During the stormy session of 1891, when the Republican minority in the senate had to fight for the merest recognitionby the Democratic majority o f the rights which the slightest sense of honor and decency would have ac­corded them, Hon. Alfred Milnes was the Republican leader. Ever watch­ful to assert the right and to resist Democratic usurpation and injustice, he acquired a skill in parliamentary and legislative tactics which will make him a magnificent president o f the senate. Such Is the Republican candidate for lieutenant-governor.

The three members of the hoard of state auditors—Hon. WashingtonGardner, Hon. James M. Wilkinson and Hon. William A. Freneh—the pres­ent incumbents of tbe offices o f secre­tary o f state, state treasurer and com­missioner of the state land ofliee—are tbe Republican candidates for those offices. They have held these positions o f responsibility but a short time, hut sufficiently long to demonstrate their eminent fitness for the offices which they ask. Never has the state had a better hoard o f auditors to protect its treasury. They are industrious, con­scientious and economical, as the re­cords o f their transactions conclusively show. Every item o f business receives their personal attention. Every claim against tbe state is keenly scrutinized. No constructive expense accounts, either for themselves or for others, are allowed to pass, and all business is dispatched with the mo=* methodical exactness. The same ea is exercised in the management of th r respective offices as is shown in their transactions as a hoard tjjf. auditors.

Michigan'today has one o f the most systematic and perfect tax laws it has ever had. Of its excellencies more is said in detail in another c.ilumn. While perfection cannot be claimed for any human law, it may be truthfully said o f the tax law of 1893, that it comes much nearer to being a model revenue law than any of its predecessors. That law stands as a practical demonstra­tion o f the remarkable adaptability of Hon. Stanley W. Turner to tire office of auditor-gener-jJ. Scarcely bad he taken, the office when be set himself about perfecting the revenue laws o f the state. With rare skill, tact, judg­ment and perseverance he secured the enactment o f the tax law of 1893, and so brought order out of chaos in his department. His administration has, in this one respect, heen o f incalculable benefit to the people o f the state.

Hon. Fred A. Maynard is one of the foremost lawyers of the second eity of the state. No nominee for attorney general on any ticket in the field can compare with him, in the qualifications requisite for that responsible office. Besides his legal training he has a wide acquaintance with those prrblie ques­tions and problems of state policy which so largely characterize the legal duties o f the state's attorney. While the people scarcely appreciate the im­portance of the office of attorney gen­eral and certainly fail to compensate him for a tithe o f the services he is caUed upon to render, yet the Republi­can candidate stands ready to do his duty to the uttermost. His adminis­tration o f the office will never be meas­ured by the salary.

Of Hon. Henry R. PattengiU, the Republican candidate for superinten­dent o f public instruction, little needs to he said. By his abundant fruits the people know him. Since Its first in­ception Michigan’s educational system has not had a more “ hustling” expo­nent than he has been. His industry and activity are infectious and he has awakened an enthusiasm In the whole army o f teachers never before known. There can be no dry-rot in Michigan’s educational system while “ Pat” is in the saddle. From Keweenaw Point to the Monroe marshes he is known as “ the right man in the right place.”

Hon. Perry F. Powers, who comes before the people for re-eleetion as member of tbe state board of educa­tion, has an honorable record in thatEosition as his endorsement. He has

_ een for years an enthusiastic worker in the cause o f public education and the people can no where find a safer and better person to whom to entrust the intei. .ts o f its ijjagnificent normal school. He has earned his re-eleetion.

administration well illustrates the truth of the above propositions. That administration came into power on the declaration of the Chicago platform that protection is “ a fraud and a rob­bery and unconstitutional.’ '

That w as politics.But when the Democratic adminis­

tration was confronted with the re­sponsibility of enacting a new tariff law it was forced to admit, and did admit, although grudgingly instead ofhonestly, that protection to American industries is imperatively demanded.

That was business.Hence the new tariff law recognizes

the truth, the justice and the necessity of the principle of protection for which the Republican party has boldly and honestly contented for many a year and thus gives the lie to the Chicago free trade platform. But while the Democratic tariff law in many a provi­sion recognizes protection as a living principle of national economy, that law is still so fine a sample of Democratic “ how-not-to-do-it” as to damage what it even pretends to protect. It is ar­rant botch work.

"When the Detroit Free Press, the leading organ of Michigan Democracy talks p o l it ic s , it extols the Chicago platform of free trade. But when it talks bcsixisss , it endorses the doctrine of protection as necessary for the fos­tering and upbuilding o f American in­terests.

In its issue of September S, the Free Press publishes and editorially en­dorses an luterview with Alexander MacGruthar, director of the Standard Pearl Button Company, of Detroit, which is a remarkable testimonial to tbe justice of protection. But the Free Press was talking t.u six e ss at that time and not p o litic s—at least not Democratic politics, for it was very good Republican politics.

That interview represents Mr. Mac­Gruthar as very much pleased with the amount o f “ fraud, robbery and uncon­stitutionality” in the shape of protec­tion afforded to the industry In which he is interested. The Austrian manu­facturers had found a way of dodging the old tariff law, by drilling no holes In their buttons and then importing them at a low rate of tariff as “ manu­factured pearl," instead of buttons, thus demoralizing the markets. The new law prevents this dodge and thus, as the Free Press claims, a f f o r d s t h ePEARL BUTTON INDUSTRY MORE PRO-t e o t io x t h a n t iie M c K in l e y l a w d id .

If the Free Press had heen talking p o l it ic s it would have denounced this as “ a fraud.and a robbery and uncon­stitutional,”’ but since it was talking bu sin ess it gloried in the fact that a local factory had escaped the blight of Democratic free trade.

Some of the expressions made by Mr. MacGruthar in this interview so highly endorsed by tbe Free Press are very pertinent. Since they embody good Republican doctrine aud are also com­mended by tbe Free Press, the people can safely rely upon them as axioms of sound political economy.

Mr. MacGruthar says: “ We needsome protection, such as is provided in the new bill, for it is difficult to build up an infant Industry. The help have to be educated and. the expenses of turning out the goods are consequently greater than they would be if our

! establishments had been running for generations.” This is what the Repub­lican party has claimed for years. And tbe Free Press endorses it as a good b u sin e ss principle, although it is con­trary to Democratic politics.

Mr. MacGruthar again says: “ It is,o f course, impossible for us to compete with Austrian labor. Skilled labor over there, it has been shown, receives about §3 per week and our men wiU not work, nor should they be asked to work, for any such figures. Tbe pres­ent tariff bill solves tbe difficulty nicely for both manufacturers and American workmen by providing am­ple protection, leaving a chance for good profits to the manufacturer and the opportunity to make liberal earn­ings for the workman. This is not a matter of t o l it ic s ; it is b u sin ess .” The Republican party has never asked the American workman to work for any such wages and so it erected the pro­tective policy as a barrier between him and European wages. The Free Press commends that barrier on b u sin e ss principles, although it fails to square with Democratic polities.

Tue legitimate conclusions are plain. Republican politics and good busi­

ness policies arc synonymous.*. bat is demonstrated by the course

o f .lie Democratic administration in framing its tariff bill, and has been conceded by the leading Democratic organ of the state.

Democratic politics not only vary far from good business principles, but if carried out are destructive of American industries.

That is demonstrated by the coward­ice of the Democratic administration in abandoningitsdeclaration.of “ fraud, robbery and unconstitutionality’’ and adopting the Republican principle of protection as the basis of much of its tariff law, and it Is further demon­strated by the admissions of the Free Press.

The best interests of the country are safer in the hands of the Republican party, whose policies are based on good business principles, than in the hands of the Democratic party, whose policies are not only contrary to good business principles but even destruc­tive of them.

luassaeTiusetts wITs DurHencd with the same kind of a gubernatorial incu­bus, but got rid of it and elected the entire Republican ticket by large ma­jorities

Ohio, which had scarcely been saved from the Republican wreck of 1892, redeemed herself and gave that noble exponentof protection, Gov. McKinley, a plurality of over Mi,000.

Rhode Island, early last spring, came to the front with the big ma­jority of 7,300. Out of 10S members of the legislature only five free traders were returned.

Oregon came next and set her seal of condemnation upon the policies of the Democratic party which had so nearly wrecke 1 American prosperity.

Vermont an 1 Maine! Their triumphs are too recent to need recall. Their warning is still ringing in the ears of doomed Democracy. Republicans of Michigan, fall into lino and share the glorious victory!

GOOD ROADS EDUCATION.A Specimen M ile In E very Township M ight

Have a Good Effect.While there is room for honest differ­

ence of opinion as to tho methods of road bnilding, tho greatest obstacle to improvement in this direction is the stubborn aud discouraging fact that good roads cost money. Farmers shy at increased taxes for road purposes and usually manage to defeat any effective legislation looking to a hatter road sys­tem. A small road tax is levied every year, which may bo paid in money or work at tbs option of tho taxpayer, and this is expended in repairing mere clay roadways which are always just as bad after the fall and spring wet weather as before tho repairs were made. The ag­gregate of money expended on the older highways of the country would have provided permanent roads long ago if wisely expended under competent direc­tion at any one time, hut having been expended in annual driblets, with no intelligent foresight, tho money has been as good as thrown away.

It is evident that the only two prac­tical forms of road agitation must be in the direction of specimen sections of road in as many localities as possible and the education of the taxpayers to the economy of bettor roads. A speci­men mile of good road in every town­ship would result eventually in univer sal good roads, for the specimen mile would prove a convincing educator. Pennsylvania has for 75 years possessed a 30 mile stretch of the best country road in the United States, extending along tho west bank of the Delaware

But when they talk bu si­n ess and deign to consider th e material interests o f the country, they invari­ably fa ll back upon protection, as the only sure foundation o f American in­dustries and American wages- . T he ca re e r o f the pf esjent Democratic

Disgusted W ith Dem ocracy.. The elections which have taken place since the people made their fear­ful mistake in 1892 conclusively show that the reaction is well under way. The people are thoroughly disgusted with Democracy and are only waiting for the day of reckoning with- their deceivers.

New York, for the first time in several years, went Republican in 1893, electing the Republican state ticket and a Republican legislature.

New Jersey, which had been solidly Democratic for years, returned a legis­lature Republican in both branches.

Iowa had a Democratic governor, a relic o f the blunder of 1892, but went Republican by a large majority.

W liat I t Costs to R epair P oor Reads In One County—Good A dvice.

While public debt is, as a rule, to be avoided it is often merely a matter of arithmetic to show that it sometimes pays to create a public debt. Frederick county, Md., for instance, spends about $25,000 a year in repairing roads. At 4 per cent the county could borrow $500, - 000 for $20,000 a year. With $500,000 it could make 250 miles of macadam road, which, with the present turnpike roads, would probably cover all the im­portant roads of the county. The sum of $5,000 would then remain, without increasing present expenditures, for re­pairs or a sinking fund.

Such a policy as this is not an experi­ment. It has been tested in New Jersey, and the result in the public esteem is shown by the extension of the system. This leaves out of consideration the sav­ing to i..o f.awi-.rs and other taxpayers effected by good roads. By being able to- reach market in the winter season, by the saving in time, horseflesh and ve­hicles, it is estimated that the average farmer can save far more than enough each year to pay his whole tax hill. It is only a question of time that tho New Jersey system will be introduced into Maryland, at least into those rich coun­ties where there is plenty of stone.— Bal­timore Sun.

W id e Versus N arrow W h eel Tires.On hard roads the wide tire is not so

obviously important, yet wo believe that there is no road or pavement so well made but that its life would he pro­longed by improved rolling stock, says Good Roads.

Soft roads—-i. o., those made on sand or loam—are never, except when frozen, able to stand narrow tires. I f the farm­ers and others engaged in teaming were asked to increase the Width of wheel tires simply to save the roads, it would ho greatly to the teamster’s in­terest to do iti though the reason might not always be-apparent to the naan who wants to see immediate results.

Tho fact is, however, that tho wide tire, unlike a majority of investments, begins paying dividends tho first day. The farmer who could with difficulty get out of his potato patch yesterday with 20 bushels can today with tho new tires haul at least 40 bushels, and if tho road to town is liko tho average country road the same ratio will hold good on that trip, so that, important as is the benofit to the road, the benefit to. tho farmer who benefits the roads is even

ROADti OF LONG AGO.Tho Highways B u ilt by tlio Ancients Sur-

pass Those o f tho Present.The roads of the Romans surpass in

inagnitudo anything constructed since their time. But in comparisoii with the eld Peruvian roads, of tho building and history of which no record has ever been found, the Roman roadways are almost insignificant. Through practically im­passable mountain regions for distances variously estimated at from 1,500 to 2,000 miles tho anoient Peruvians built their highways, 20 foot wide and in a manner that would put to shame, in point of durability, any pavement laid since in tho world.

Theso roadways wore built of heavy stone flags set with tho utmost care in a mysterious cement which with time has so hardened that it is harder than the stone itself. Tho first pavement build­ing in tho world of which there is any written record was that undertaken by Somiramis, tho groat Assyrian queen. After succeeding her husband on the throno she set about laying out great paved roadways all over her empire, and she felt such justifiable pride in this work that she caused a record of it to bo handed down to her successors. The Cartbagiuiaus also had pavedhighways, but tbe Romans existed without pave­ments for 200 years after the expulsion of their kings.

It was not until Rome was about five centuries old that any effort was made to pavo its streots. From these efforts grow tbo great roadbuilding, by which as much as anything else the Romans managed to spread their power. The Yia Appia, begun by Appius Claudius, 312 B. C., was carried forward steadily until it reached a total length of 350 miles, connecting Romo with Brirndu- sium. It was completed in 30 B. C. It was built of largo blocks of silex, fitted to each other with great exactness and laid on a deep substrata of broken stone carefully put down.

Roadbuilding and street paving prac­tically died out for the time being with Roman civilization. It was not until 1184 that the streets of Paris were paved. Tho work was rude and was con­fined to a * .11 area. In London therewas no paving to speak of until 1533. Since that time street paving has been one of tho great questions with state and municipal governments, and endless ex­periments have been made to devise the best methods. From cobblestones to bricks and wooden blocks and macadam and stone blocks and asphalt the prog­ress has been steadily carried on.—New York Times.

WIDE TIRES. AND DIRT ROADS.W hero Stono Is N ot Available E lat Footed

W agons A rc H elpful.This is a good timo to say that in the

spring, whilo tho roads are bottomless, the farmer can’t do much on the farm, while With good, hard stone roads he could haul his stuff to market at a time whou tho prices are high, and thus ho a gainer in two ways at a season of the year when at present he can do little else than play checkers.

In those parts of the country where stone do not abound and the most avail­able road material is prairie mud the first, best and cheapest relief is to use wide tires. Next put in under drains and keep the road well shaped up. Such a road properly lookod after comes very near being right for: sparsely settled prairie country, and during a large part of tho year is good enough for anybody, hut it is absolutely necessary to use wide tiros, and, what is more, it is profitable to the user in that he can haul double tho corn out of the field that he could have hauled with narrow tires, and he can get to town with a very much larger load, even when he is the only user of wido tiros over that road, and as soon as the flat footed wagons become general it is not necessary to speucl one-half the amount in keeping up even a common dirt road.— Good Roads.

W heelm en to E nter Politics.“ There are times when every one feels

a fresh awakening in politics, and I hear that a movement is secretly under way to organize all the bicyclo clubs of the country into a political phalanx which will advocate the election of any candidate of either party who will stand on a platform of good roads.” This would bo quite an innovation in politi cal campaigning, and tho legion of bi­cyclists is a factor not to be sneezed at. The movement for bettor roads through­out the laud has taken root and has many sincere advocates. Bicyclists in politics with “ good roads’ ’ as their shib boleth might accomplish a world of good. They would surely strengthen their physical structures, and if they didn’t succeed in their attempt at po litical proselyting they might by their examplo induce some to take to bicy­cling.—Now York Mail and Express.

B ad Hoads In jure the Towns.It is obvious that cities are interested

commercially in the improvement of country roads. In Springfield, His., a few years ago, during a long period of wet weather in the early spring, the price of hay went up to $30 per ton, and the market was supplied by railroad from outside of tho state, while on forms a few miles from the city hay was plenty at $10 per ton, hut embar goed by mud. In this case the mud tax could not have heen more direct if it bod been levied on every horse and cow in that city, and if so levied the rate would probably not havo been less than $20 per head on aU snch animals. The farmer lost a market, hut the townsman lost money in hand. Distances of this sort could he multiplied indefinitely.— “ New Roads and Road Laws, ” by Roy Stone.D irt Doitds A re E ither M uddy o r Dusty.

Dnstand mud are the alternative con­ditions of dirt roads, with all too brief intermediate stages, when they are for a few days just about right for comfort­able driving. They can stand neither drought nor flood, neither rain nor shine, except in very moderate proportions. Exchange.

Good W orR In Indiana.The building of good roads should be

done by tho people directly benefited by the improvements and wholly interested in the cost and care. For several years we have heen operating in this state under a law providing for the construc­tion of free gravel and macadamized roads. Where tho material for this is readily accessible such roads have been rapidly built until now in such sections of our state all the principal roads are graveled, and tho people are turning then- attention to the byroads or less Important ones. I believe these roads Will receive more care, a greater pro­prietary interest being felt, from the people who were taxed for their con­struction.—Governor Matthews of In­diana.

Grade o f Drains*If possible, give the bottom of your,

drain ditch a fall of at least six inches I for each 100 feet of length. A fall o f throo inches will carry the water, hut | with light grados extreme care must he' used in forming the ditch bottom to ex-1 act grade in every part, and the lighter ( you make the grade the greater will ho1 the danger of a sluggish flow of water and the clogging of the drain.—Potter’S' Good Roads Library.

Grand pianos at $200, $260, $300 and upward. Nearly all originally sold for from two to four times their present price. Almost all prominent makes (in Bquare and up­rights) are represented, including among numerous others, Ghickering. Knabe, Steinway, Weber, Decker, Steck, Fischer, etc. This is an oppor­tunity that will not occur again, as Lyon & Healy have not moved for twenty years. Immediate attention is therefore necessary. A good plan would be to order a piano, leaving the selection to Lyon & Healy. However, they will send a list and full particu­lars upon application. Any piano not proving satisfactory may be returned at their expense. Address at their new salesrooms, corner o f Wabash Avenue and Adams St., Chicago. Dis­tance is no obstacle in taking advan­tage of this remarkable chance to ob­tain a piano, for in proportion to the saving to be had the freight charges are insignificant. I f you do not already know them by reputation any banker will assure you o f Lyon & Healy’s en­tire responsibility and record of over a third of a centurv for honorable dealing. Write today so as to avoid disappointment.

I f you have not yet procured one of those pretty watch case openers, get one from your jeweler, or send to Phil­adelphia. They are furnished free by the Keystone Watch Case Company. Besides making a handsome charm for your chain, they save your finger nails and knife-blades. The Keystone Com­pany is the largest of its kind in the world, and makes ail kinds of cases, from the low priced nickel to the most expensive solid gold. Its great speci­alty is the Jas. Boss filled case. Jas. Boss invented and made the first filled case, in 1857, and many of the cases then made and worn since are still in­tact. Later the Boss patents passed into the hands of tbe Keystone Watch Case Company, which has the sole right to make these cases. Boss cases are known to all jewelers as the stand­ard, after which all other filled cases are patterned. All Keystone capes, Boss cases included, have the far-fam­ed Non-pull-out how or ring. It is the only bow that is securely Listened to to the case, and can only be had on cases made by this Company. It pre­vents loss of the watch by theft or in­jury by dropping. These cases are handled by all jewelers, as the Compa­ny its self does not retail.

D. S. W eather Bulletin.The past week has been very favora­

ble' for securing crops and for fail seeding, which is nearing completion. Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Wis­consin report winter wheat in excel­lent condition. Pasturage is also in excellent condition generally. Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee and Arkansas, need moisture. Cotton picking has progressed rapidly under ’ favorable weather conditions, except in the Car- olinas and portions, of Georgia and Florida, where picking was interrupt­ed and the crop injured by the tropi­cal hurricane. Reports indicate that about one-half o f the crop has been secured in South Carolina, Florida and Texas, while in Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, North Carolina and Ten­nessee from 60 to 70 o f the crop re­mained ungathered, on October I. ‘Frosts occurred as far south as Ken­tucky, bjit no serious injury has been reported.

Tin P late M ills Shat Down.A special to the Detroit Journal

dated from Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 29, says:

“ Today every tin plate plant in the United States, with possibly one ex­ception, will be closed down, throwing several thousand out of work until the wage dispute is settled. The More- wood tin plate manufacturing compa­ny of Elizabeth, N . J., is the exception, and it will suspend today, i f the work on hand can he completed, A ll the mills in this part of the country have closed, the last being the big plant of the United States iron and tin plate company, at Deruire Station, which suspended yesterday. Today a notice will be posted, notifying the men that the shut down is duo to the reduction in the tariff. Under tbe new rate, the manufacturers assert that rollers, the highest paid men, will earn $6 per day and more, and all skilled hands will earn 80 per cent more than the same class o f workers in the Brittish mills. The wages of the cheap labor, the manufacturers say, will not he dis­turbed by the new scale.”

Deafness Can’t Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion o f the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf­ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin­ing o f the Eustacliian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflamma­tion can be taken and this tube restor­ed to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out o f ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
