spoke in sharp, rasping voice:

And well-looking woman, so one looks

the gold-witch. You are my niece, my

he may be, is no kinsman of mine;

he had rather have the money than you"
The last two arguments were strong
ones, and illness and poverty had made
Annie weak. There was moro feeble
resistance, more golden promises, and at
last she yielded.
Strange and bewildered enough she
felt when the prancing horses stood be-
fore the great uptown hotel where OBJ
sequious walters stood on every hand.

whose will and word seemed law unto
others.
So she rested. The bed was white
and downy; there were laces and ribbons
fluttering around it; but, in spite of the
softness and Wilderness, the child that
lay on her bosom wept and walled with
low, heart-oreaking cry, ana at last
the baby, who up to that day had never
spoken any word or tried to speak,
opened its little quivering lips and called
out loud and clear:

It was IS though the voice OF God
spoke to the mother. She sprang from
the bed and folded her worn old shawl
around about herself and boy. Close
beside the door sat the gold-witch.

ana nolseiess steps she stole past the old
woman. Down the grand stairway and
through the lofty halls she sped, looking
neither to the right hand nor to the left.
She reached her home at last. dark

Cold is simply the absence of heat and
q negative. however hard, it may be to
believe it in the presence of ssblizzsrd. -
The natural causes of cold are the abb
scnce Of the sun, the diminution of the
blanket Of the atmosphere as we rise to
high ATTITUDES, and radiation through a
clear air. For every mile we ascend in
the air the mercury in the thermometer
falls about twenty degrees. It'has been
estimated that the absolute zero The
point where there would be no gaseous
tensions 458 Fahrenheit. The lowest
temperature yet recorded is 220 +.
The normal temperature OF the body,
which is in adults Of the Caucasian race
98.6 degrees, is maintained in defiance
of external cold by the combustion
within the body or heat-producing food.
If the combustible materials are not
furnished. or if oxygen be not supplied
in sufficient quantity. the temperature
win be depressed. Hence the vital i'm
portance Of having pure air in addition
to wholesome food. Persons habitually
exposed to cold weather suffer far less
from it than those who only occasionally
leave their homes. Mail carriers, physi-
clans and others whose business takes
them out OF doors and keeps them there
most of the time, rarely suffer from cold
or colds. They make a point of having
requisite clothing and suitable food, aud

Colds result from unequal exposure OF
the body to cold. Damp clothes, caus-
ing greater evaporation from one part OF
the body than another, are a fruitful
cause of colds. If vigorous exercise is
kept up. SO that the internal production
Of heat keeps the body up to the normal
point of temperature. no harm follows.
One can work all day in the rain or snow
without inconvenience, but half hour
sitting with damp feet has brought many
a person to his grave. Draughts are
prolific sources Of colds. A current of
air from the window, q draught through
. keyhole or the crack Of = door. are
dangerous things. One may go out
into the snow or cold with impunity,
yet fall before a broken window-pane to
rise no more.

Mt Clemens did not send the young people
away with more sincere good wishes for their fu-

which they were received upon their arrival in
Abilene last Thursday. Mr.. and Mrs. Dillon are
here well and favorably known, and the REFLEc-

~ notice for him:
The fact that Ed. has made so wise a selection
in companion, will prove source OF gratE

graduation. Ed. is an excellent young man, pos
SeSSS fine business qualifications, is full OF ener-
gy, and wtthal is exceptionally social, upright
and straightforward.
He left here little over two years ago for Abb

pursuits, and has deServedly made great sue
cess, enjoying as he did here, the fullest conf
dence OF the people and particularly OF the buSi-
ness community.
His future home will be Abilene, one OF the
thriving towns OF Kansas TO which he is thor
Oughly welded and with whose best interests he
has become closely identified.
May he and his handsome and accomplished
bride never meet with a reverse, but drink
throughout long life from the golden cup Of
